Paradox taking notes on how much overcomplication is too much from the HoI4 modding community:
I prefer hoi3 and wish hoi4 would end up being as complicated as this.
My only condition is that they release new features one patch at a time so I can learn them one by one
@@ZemanTheMighty fair, I'm just here for the simple casual nature that's kind of disappearing. I wish the game rules could have an enable/disable feature for the newer stuff.
How much time take you to finish the campaign?
Yea
@@abdraoufalti campaign?
The man who couldn't micro the side of a barn is now trying out one of the most micro heavy mods I have seen
How complicated do you want the mod to be? Mod creator: Yes! Please.
It's actually not that confusing, just different. Frankly, I prefer it over vanilla as vanilla is too simple. The vehicle designers are quite easy too, as you can actually can build historical ships but there's an option to simply use the 1:1 historical template of vehicles.
In vanilla it's just "build factory, kill as many enemies as possible, win"
In Black ice you need to actually keep your country alive making for a much more realistic feel to it. The industry looks much more confusing than it is.
“If I don’t know what I’m doing - the enemy doesn’t know either” seems to be an actual historical IJN doctrine. For example, when they have planned a raid in Indian Ocean, the allies knew Japanese plans before they even departed, but instead of following their own plans, IJN decided to send the assigned aircraft carriers to pursue a non-existent US fleet, where they hit the ground and had to postpone the operation due to the repairs, which actually allowed them to surprise the allies
Unironically the most coordinated country in WW2
'sir we've ran out of naval bombs.'
'No Tanaka, you're the naval bomb. Now get in that zero.'
"Get in the Zero, Shinji"
As awesome as super realist mods always look, it’s always crazy that hoi4 modders are even worse at game design then paradox is.
What do you mean even worse? They made HOI5 for free 💀
(Me with 50 hours on hoi4 and only have experienced playing as Germany): I think I’m ready for the big leagues
@@deadkidjack180 hours on hoi4 and still havent played any major...
3100 hours and I still don't know how navy works😂😭
@@commandergreetv753it’s actually very simple when you learn it just destroyers and light cruisers as hp and some torp spam and aa fire then 1/4 bigger ships for dpm to blow up the enemy’s.
Your hoi4 videos are some of my favorite out there! They're the perfect balance between commentary, memes and showcasing the content.
Yooo my suggestion was turned into reality! Editing and commentary is a masterpiece, keep it up!!! I enjoyed this a lot.
Crazy to think that technically Japan is home to the manufacturer of such a reliable vehicle that Toyota technicals are a well used form of combat during the 21st century and a common theme in popular media
Yeah thats cool but in 2005 I broke into the museum of phalluses in iceland and stole a 7 in. Horse penis. They never caught me. I still have and use it today, although I ate the right testicle for a treat a couple years ago.
I think Toyota may have made engines for Japanese military vehicles
@@Panzerkampfwagen-IV-Ausf.H Every one who could, did. Alfa Romeo and FIAT provided the engines for Italian fighters at the time. Packard Motor Company and Ford made more aircraft engines between 1941-1944 than all the axis nations combined. Studebaker 3-axle trucks did not just carry the US army, they made up about half of all soviet trucks, and was the direct ancestor of the iconic Ural truck.
Black ice modder:
Mom, I want to open and fiddle with excel.
Mom:
We have excel at home.
Excel at home:
please continue playing Black Ice
because we don't want to
@@alexteacher8100We just want to Watch
As a Burmese, I can confirm that it is still a miserable place.😂
Oh God, the dictatorship in charge :(
Do the people from your country sill call it burma?
Maybe it's Same As Abyssinia and Ethiopia
@mttokrnk
I ain't Burmese but I've spent quite a bit of time researching the region and well that question is complex. Ripping out all nuance the current ruling government insists that the nation is Myanmar, while the large groups of people the government of Myanmar are trying to exterminate refer to the land as Burma for reasons ranging from historical revanchism to spiteful contrarianism. Again this is very surface level and I'd highly recommend looking at more in depth sources, all I ask is that you look at more sources than the current sitting government as they're y'know engaged in a word yt won't let me post.
can't wait for you to play this mod again some time
keep making videos college the editing is good
Ok but when will they add water as a resource for italians to cook their spaghetti.
pasta point when?
Hoi4 mod that turns it into campaign for north africa when? (You're going to need a coop in the multiplayer games to cook pasta for you. No pause microing the pasta)
The nost realistic mod indeed: "I dont know what im doing, the enemi wont neither"
I missed the first 2 minutes where you mentioned the upgrade on the industrial system of BLACK ICE! I love the upgrade!
Black Ice is a mod made by those extra schizo people who played HOI4 for 5,000 hours, decided it wasn't 'deep' enough, snorted ten lines of coke, downed three litres of off-brand energy drink, then made a mod.
Black ice looks like a mix of Hoi 4 and Victoria 3
This mod looks very cool. There is no way my computer can run it without 5 speed playing like 2 speed in 1936.
Glad your doing the test version , loce what they did with all the resourece management. Please do another Germany with all of this stuff. They have quite a bit tweaked stuff, more research slots for resource managment.
You earned a sub for naming your Army Group/Theater - Fighting A Land War In Asia!
College could have called this "0 food challenge" and it would have also worked lol. great vid
you can actually change how much food your people get
I didn't notice that button till I was editing the video but tbf it's not in an intuitive place
I love the black ice content college
Your videos are a work of art, they make my day soo much better :D
My guy you shoud shave the neck beard
Very nice, now let’s see an Italian play through
playing japan in bice is like sycling exept the bike has no brakes steering only works half the time and the front weel can fall of anytime as its held in place with ducktape.
0:01 Nah i think about kamikaze and a6m5 zero
likewise can't let my great grandparents down
Yooo black ice is looking awesome, finnaly some complexity
Yo this video was really cool. If you happen to still have a little bit of mental stability left please play this mod more!
great taste in background music brotherman!
whats the name
@@syiniydethepotatoe9486 I think I meant that when I heard Georges Bizet's Carmen opera. Aside from the hoi4 soundtrack I think that's the only music present.
how about from 9:22 - 11:49@@soyingerchad7128
I only think of 2 things when thinking of Japan:
1. Anime
2. BANZAI!!!
"you have now raw resources that you have to refine and to do that you need energy that you need build powerplants to upkeep and you also has grains to make rations to feed your people"
as a kirby fan:this is scarier than that demonic butterfly
Im nearly at the end of my 9 hour road trip
2:48 LOL you make masterful use of those memes haha
One of the few TH-camrs keeping me on this godforsaken platform. I dont even watch bo anymore but college goes hard
If colleg has 10000 fsns im 1 of them
If college has 1 fans im him
If college has no fans im dead
If world is against college in against world
Xollege 4 life 💪💪
I really like this video and channel's narrative format :)
most underrated hoi4 TH-camr
Ignores navy, still wins important naval battles.
you are a great player and youtuber great job with this video
Historically, the reason for the late Japanese mobilization at 4:26 is quite simple:
After the firefight at the Marco Polo Bridge, the Japanese government under Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro initially reacted very hesitantly to the news of battle, with the intention of NOT(!) allowing the situation to further escalate, as Japan (who would've thought) wasn't prepared for a full-blown conflict with China.
In contrast, there was the Kwangtung Army stationed in Manchuria, which had already shown strong initiative during the Japanese occupation of Manchuria in 1931. In order to escalate the conflict in China they once again deceiving the Japanese government about their true intentions by falsely claiming that Japanese troops in China were in grave danger.
While the Kwangtung troups moved further and further into China the government found itself unable to stop their own troups or expose itself before world and Japanese public of having lost control of its own army, the Japanese government finally gave in and began mobilizing.
So the Nationalist army officers finally prevailed by once again confronting the government in Tokyo with a fait accompli.
Honestly I love mods like Black Ice bc it makes you realize how many mooving parts there are in a war and how delusional Axis was thinking they could beat the Allies...
What country has committed the most war crimes
Everyone : Germany obviously has!
Japan sitting in the corner with anime hoping people forget
I want to try black ice but it looks like it would make my brain explode
The fact that presumingly large amount of your population and perhaps even military were starving for half of the game. Yet it seemed to be of no consequence, is somewhat amusing.
It's like watching some minecraft survival mods. How unfun you can make your mod until people stop playing
Mao cooked up something good with this one 😤😤😤😤💀💀🗣🗣🗣
>"There is a lot more to warfare than digging trenches and lobbing artillery shells at the enemy"
>Looks at major 21st century armed conflict
>Digged trenches and lobbed artillery shells at the enemy
>LooksAtCamera
Amazing video as always man :)
The Chief made another banger, now salute to the chief
you should play world ablaze, the actual hardest mod.
I have s passionate hate for China because of that mod
That mod is shit
It just gives bonuses to ai... Terrible mod
HOI4: but impossibly complicated
Truly a Tennoheika Banzaii Moment
i love your police squad reference.
I'm hyperventilating from the amount of things you need to click in this mod
Imagine an MP game in this mod with the BOBG squad
Honey wake up! College dropped another video torturing himself by playing an overly complicated japan mod!!
watched this at midnight on new year
I have no life
when are you going to play world ablaze please man im begging you pls pls
Realism mod = WHY the F! is my army collapsing? Oh, I forgot to produce chopsticks. JK
College doing coke to win at HOI sounds really funny
Lore of The Japan Experience in HOI4's Most Realistic Mod momentum 100
They probably use this mod to train politicians and generals. But in south korea they may use a bit more immersive version where you micro manage everything to the last screw. :D I remember when I played in hoi3. Such great times
I hate border conflicts in this game. Wish they made it a separate theater you slot 6 units in that covers all border conflicts.
What does this cracked marine template look like if I may ask?
good editing and very enjoyable to watch
This mod looks awesome
*overdoses on Concerta*
HERE WE GO
Do Italy next.
Playing HOI4 without bice is like saying you are a biker whilst actually riding a childrens tricycle with support wheels....
You should do the ussr for the next time you do black ice.
Oh wow I remember helping to write the book for this theater in Black Ice.
You learn that has bad as Germany is for issues like military branch rivalries or logisitic issues...
Japan has the same. Just more so.
...
Last I played the key strat was like 2 armor "divisions" of 1 light 1 medium tank w/ truck troops and lots of light infantry. You sprint into China and just keep pushing hoping you can outrun your logistics nightmares that the inevitable Red Army Guerillas will bring.
1:06 Honestly, that's something that should be in the base game.
no
I really want to get into this mod, but how does the AI handle all of this, if it already struggles with vanilla hoi4? Like what's the fun if you are playing alone and the AI can't keep up with absolutely anything?
omg college upload
Hey are you that one guy from college?
The Explosion in sponge bob in a Japanese hoi4 video is kinda sus 💀💀💀💀🔥🔥🔥🔥
Blackice is both amazing and horrible. It's like being a kid with 10 dollars in your pocket inside the largest toy store in the world, where the cheapest toy is 11 dollars.
The naval and tank designers are amazing in that you can more or less replicate historical designs with reasonable stats, but the economy, even for majors, is abymsal
But world Ablaze having a more simplified naval designer and an extremely limited tank designer allows for closer-to-accurate historical production numbers (both for tanks and ships)
Paraguay being Paraguay
0:08 WTF is this picture? I want to know more lol
8:00 absolutelly genius memehahahah
How many PCs do you need to run this version of BI? lol
I wanna see you playing as Brazil In BlackIce Test Version
an original hoi youtuber??? wtf
How did you puppet Indochina?
1:11 *insert Dante what the hell is this meme*
Nice vid
Black Ice… still less complicated than TNO.
Not really, once you get the grip on how to do the economics (which isn’t that hard), it’s fun to play.
@BobbiusRossiusyeah it’s literally just sliders which you can move at any point.
How did you handle the low org of the division templates
basically eu4
This mod is responsible for all self induced lobotomies.
buy the game and pay the subscription just for this mod... yes, I want it
Have you tried vanilla navy rework mod?
Banzai Banzai
Hmm yes the empire of the rising sun rises 😎👍✊💀
Whenever I think of Japan I think of unit 731
The version of BLACK ICE that i play does not have all these resources. Which version is this?
The test version
@guyfromcollege thank you!
I never understood how so many people don't understand navy. it is so simple. Or maybe it is because I prioritise navy and airforce over the army?
Cool video, I hope you play the Soviets or British too
When Japan kicked your ancestors to the curb and you get asked if you knew about their past:
Btw your videos are fire, keep up the good work
You should try the old world blues mod its a fallout fan mod but its really cool because it changes the game a lot.
