I love the idea of stalin shoving up to to discuss the terms of the peace after losing 5million men to defeat germany, and getting told "nah mate, you didn't do enough, you should learn a thing or two from afar"
I did a mini version of this where I lend leased fuel to the Soviets to get my war participation up just high enough so they would hand me the occupation of the red sea states for the achievement. I did not realize you could push it this far.
8:52 to clarify the state controller is the one who have the city within the state and the first flag is the state owner (the jure (before the war)) and the second is the state controller ie occupying the state
This will probably be capped like Strat bombing was awhile back. I remember you could just steal all the warscore by building thousands of strat bombers and leveling every building in Europe to get all the warscore without even fighting a single battle. Although I hope Paradox caps this to a percent rather than a hard score like strategic bombing.
War Participation for losing 1 million of your men in one of the most brutal wars of the millennium: 514 War Participation for receiving oil from Aussa: -6680
Discovered this a while back when I was playing a Soviet Bukharin play through. So I had production to spare since I managed to win the RNG game and assassinate Stalin really early in the play through. Was doing really well holding the line since I fortified my borders but I didn't want to push yet. So I sent a lot of my excess weapons production to the UK and eventually the US when they entered the war. Noticed my war participation kept going up even though I wasn't pushing yet. Saw I was gaining it from lend-lease and that the UK and US had almost no war participation. After I felt like pushing I managed to have enough participation to demand all of Germany and all of the Balkans and a good chunk of Italy. Once WW3 kicked off I didn't have to push far.
9:00 Can't believe ISP still doesnt understand states/provinces. Each state has a capital province and if you control the capital province you control the state.
@@cw732 That was literally one of the first things I learned. It's obvious if you control the big city you control the state. I thought this was common knowledge?
Thank you for talking about some of the techniques you used during this gameplay video. It really did help me learn a thing or two that I wouldn't have figured out for myself.
isp theres a differnce between "own" and "control", where owner changes through peace deals and the like, control changes through war, basically a temporary/partial ownership
Leave it to Paradox to put in something that makes taking a tiny, obskure nation into one that turns Rome basically into a treaty port easier than most of the mods he used in the main A-Z run could have done.
16:38 hey there, lore master timmy here. I ran a few numbers on this bad boy. The total population of Mongolia in 1946 was 759,400 (today it’s 3mil btw). So 208,500 casualties is roughly 27.4% of their total population. But it gets worse. Nearly all of the military at this point was man. And surprisingly Mongolia has a near 1-1 ratio of males and females. So cutting the 759,400 population in half gives us a 379,700 male population. Combine that with the 208,500 casualties gives us a grand total of 54.9% of the male Mongolian population killed. TL;DR: half of the male Mongolian population died in this war.
ISP, I just wanna say that I’ve been watching you for years and you are always so entertaining and I just wanted to thank you for putting out content like this because I know I would never wanna play Aussa myself lol.
i like to use the oil you get as the us to take all the war score. it even gives you some war score before you’ve even joined the war (if that make sense)
soviets got completely rocked in my britain game too... it seems they either dont move at all, or get completely destroyed after like a year of war. i saved them with D-day, but goddamn there were at like 95 percent capitulation.
fuel mechanic is so freaking broken, youre supposed to take texas or azerbaijan with 600 and 130 oil respectfully, and then just send it to all of your allies and youll surely get 98percent of the war score.
even though 5 million of my people died, i'll gladly give all of my hard work to some backwater country i've never heard of for all the fuel they mailed me. i'm sure my people will understand, it's just 5 million people! lol!
this whole video feels like a Spiff exploit, where you have all of everyone's war participation by not participating in the war heheheh very Perfidious Albion-ese of you Mr.Productions ~yours Timmy #427

Do.... do you employ Braun as an editor? Because I think that's awesome and I always wondered why you two had such a dynamic from Bo's victoria games
A2Z will never die, always haunting this channel.
-Can we have Player lead confereces?
-We have player lead conferences at home
Player lead conferences at home:
i like to use the oil you get as the us to take all the war score. it even gives you some war score before you’ve even joined the war (if that make sense)
lend leasing the soviets and the british 50k per day is amazing. (also i send it to the chinese so i can take japan)
I will always slightly twitch at how iSorrow says "FOUHKHUSshh CHREE". Gobbless.
you left the german reich alive in madagascar
Interesting timing. Stakuyi published an Aussa video yesterday
Guess we’ll have to call the series A2Aussa
You should do a series where you for every formable nation
Aussa in 2024 : dont you know i m still standing
Maybe redo the countries that got new focus trees for A2Z+?
Might be your best vid yet
Another HOI4 A to Z video? BRAUN SHOW THE RAT!
Imagine being a literal who nation and you get a focus tree before Finland does.

I always forget braun edits these vids and then get surprised everytime i learn about it again
Aussa seized having any means of production
Having oil is equal to having player led conferences on
