- Today we are exploring hoi4's newest tiny nation, Iceland!
Iceland is difficult to make strong, but if you follow the steps that I provide, I'm confident you will also achiev the massive success with the most factories and huge manpower to quickly become the most powerful nation in the world!
we are also getting two achievements with this run, although when I did it they were still locked. but with ironman on, you will be able to get both Vinland and Cod Wars.
vinland requires conteol of Newfoundland and Cod Wars requires defeating England!
leave me a comment if you enjoyed and let me know what other Arms Against Tyranny content you might enjoy!

Þór is Thor. The thing you're seeing as a P is þ, pronounced "th"
I suspected this but had no idea lol
More butchered pronunciations for me...it is tradition 😁
@@hatless_spiderI did notice how you pronounced a lot of Asian places, it has some charm to it though
@@SubtotalStar850-uh8pg glad it's not all bad 😜
Fun fact: thorn (þ) used to be a letter in the Old and Middle English languages. When the printing press came about, English texts were printed using imported machines from the Netherlands, where the letter was not used. Thus, the ‘y’ was used instead. For example, the first printing of the King James Version of the Bible in 1611 used ‘ye’ for ‘the’.
Same as ð which is th but for like though which is not going air through your teeth
Apologies for looking very red, but I guess it fits the theme of being an angry Viking well 😂
I bought a new green screen and when light reflects from it it apparently turns me red, so I'll have to figure that out
I noticed that on stream lmao
@@chianghighshrek surprised you didn't say anything
You're not usually shy about that 😄
@@hatless_spider i sent a message in stream chat saying that you just didn't notice
@chianghighshrek ah lol i try to read all of them but apparently dropped the ball
Can you do something with the colour balance of whatever camera you are using? The new green screen might require a different RGB balance.
I am always amazed what can be done with a small/tiny nation in this game.
Even before the DLC you could propel Iceland to the top.
Nice video also to say Iceland is busted is an understatement, just wow.
Only with my method 😉
Informative and comprehensive but not boring presentation. You're not overdoing it as well. Got yourself a new subscriber.
Welcome!
When I declared on Denmark they immediately joined the allies, I declared at the same time frame as in the video. I still got the event and said I would protect Denmark, Denmark then signed a peace treaty with the UK but I'm still at war with the UK...
18:24 I didn’t even know that was possible, I figured they were mutually exclusive like the skills they unlock
New great video!
Mic is better than in previous videos thou
Thanks glad that is improved!
I don't know if anyone else has said this, but the event that triggers at the start of the spanish civil war is a reference to EU4, where you would occasionally get an event called comet that lowered your stability by 1, but had 5 options to do so, which the options on the new event here are almost exact copies of.
On trying this strategy in depth I would advise players to save-scum before declaring war on the Netherlands. You need to take Amsterdam, Rotterdam and any other city to ensure they surrender. Rotterdam is *very* tricky to take with those basic divisions...
Thanks, having issues with the Netherlands. Got it on the first two tries but screwed up the rest of my game, now I keep getting bad RNG in Netherlands
How do you only have 6K subs? Unreal. Great videos.
Working on getting more 😁
The Icelandic in this is absolutely hilarious.
You can get a 4th research slot from the "international Research Community" focus in the communist branch.
Thanks for the video, it's very good, but the music is making me very sleepy
Thanks for the feedback! I actually thought the same, and told my editor that in the future we will use it in smaller pieces or use other music 🙂
Ive seen so much viking icelands, but no historical iceland
@millio6238 not true, it probably had a weaker focus tree
Iceland world conquest speed run world record when?
I'll let one of you guys take that title!
Although it honestly wouldn't be incredibly hard after what we already accomplished plus the 35% attack bonus!
@@hatless_spider Does Iceland get bicycle divisions though? Might save on some trucks if they do 🤔
Bittersteel says Hello! He mentioned your video. So here I am. Have a good day!
Thanks - that was a masterpiece, which I am thinking I am not going to be able to follow, but I will try. What was the deal with the 1 GER sub - to have some minimal naval supremacy to invade HOL ? I guess the Dutch navy was just asleep ? 10 hrs til release. Cheers, MMM
Yes, correct!
Why did you get over 3 Million manpower after annexing the allies? Just non core manpower before the 20% advisor?
Yeah annexing India is a really big part of that!
When that viking spirit hits...
Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken
Take the land, that must be taken
Awaken, awaken, awaken, awaken
Devour worlds, smite forsaken
Rise up from your thousand year-old sleep
Break forth from your grave eternally
I command you to rise, rise, rise, rise
What is this from? Really epic!
deathklok - awaken@@hatless_spider
lol
I've been binging your content for a couple days and I have to say I love it!
Subscribed!
12:30 I think thy are pronounced Frey-yah and Thor
Ah yes the resurgence of Viking empire 🇮🇸🗿👌😎👍✊💀
Re Denmark, I think you needed to improve their opinion to at worst -50 - because you already were worse in their eyes.
Amazing video. I just don't get why Paradox decide to give Iceland a national spirit for Christian X but not Denmark ! It's doesn't make any sense ! They should have Christian X as a national spirit !!!!
I got to the dutch peace conference and then forgot to get resource rights and war reps at the same time as puppeting the indes. So I was locked out
Lore of How to Make Viking Iceland a POWERHOUSE!! HOI4 momentum 100
Was gonna use this as my first proper guide to a nation but I don't have the DLC :((
Great video, I love playing the Soviet Union and assassinating Stalin some of these strategies would put them over the top
Lets go!
A lot more RNG to this than expected. I would randomly have Germany manually justify on things like Luxembourg, starting the war in 1938
Hmm so they were at war with the allies early then?
I'm not certain what would cause that
Yeah, I've redone it step-by-step 5 times, and Germany justifies on Luxembourg right after Sudetenland, bringing the war to the Allies. I'm on the beta patch, so they may have broken AI behaviour since you recorded@@hatless_spider
@DanielStaniforth hmm interesting.
This shouldn't stop you from being able to still get the netherlands defeated though, right?
But it will prevent a 100% icelandic defeat of the allies then since germany will be joining in unless you are fast
Yeah, so I defeat the Netherlands in early August 1838. Germany fabricates a wargoal on Luxembourg for October. By the time they call me into the war the British navy is out and protecting their coast and even landing on Iceland. I rolled back from the beta and it's still happening. What version did you do it on?@@hatless_spider
@@DanielStaniforth i did it with early access. So it was before any patches
I'd love to really enjoy this video the downside is I can't really pay attention with a really loud music in the background
AND the "J" in Freyja is a "Y" sound. THorr and FreYa. That province in Denmark? It's pronounced "Yutland."
I have many lessons to learn 😁😁
Sad that my home country doesn’t have a viking bath wich is sweden very sad is it
Awesome
so... i don't know what changed since you made this video, BUT:
-Invading the Netherlands still works fine
- Germany does weird stuff like manually justifying on belgium and Luxembourg mid 1938
- France somehow has 90 divisions stacked on the border by the time you are in any way ready to take them on
- Your 'fleet" just dies to the UK instantly there is no way to get through the channel and they don't leave for whatever reason
- despite the 35% attack buff you can't break through the french lines
- Germany refuses to attack, they end up at war with Czechoslovakia and they just don't cap them even though they could, leading to them bleeding all the artillery you would otherwise get through lend lease.
i don't know man, something's off. I usually get your strats to work even if the video is a year old but this one... seems impossible
Nice! +1 from Bitt3rSteel
What is the ambience music in the background? I like how chill it is, it gives a good atmosphere for Iceland.
more of this with other countries!!
I can't quite hear what you said. Did you say, "The might of Poor?" That symbol which looks like a midget P is called a thorn, and it represents the "TH" sound.
Yes my mistake...i should have looked it up lol
When I did my Commie Iceland (to get the Brexit achievement) I did some of the brown party focuses as well to get the extra bonuses. Do you think it's worth doing a few Commie ones when going brown or would that eat too much time?
Viking Michael Cera
How were you able to get the 50% naval supremacy for the invasion of england?
At about 2:00 in video you said Iceland had 116,000 manpower. It's actually only 1,160 manpower or so.....
Wow Great! But why did you puppet and you did not annex India-Netherlands?
In hindsight because of the advisor with 20% noncore manpower, I probably could have simply annexed.
I'm just used to puppeting them and using their manpower in that way
@@hatless_spider That was fast! You really make the impossible possible in Hearts of Iron 4! Kudos from Germany!
Every time I try and follow this Germany declares on Luxemburg about the time I am ready to go for Denmark. is there any way to avoid this?
God i want a Dutch playthrough i want to hear you pronounce Dutch.
Surprisingly my dutch pronunciations aren't terrible 😄
Are u playing with a mod or why do i got an other Tree
Do you have ars against tyranny?
oh no i dont xD
@@hatless_spider
You seem chill
