Wow I had no idea that you could join a faction in Hearts of Iron IV. Really helped with the achievement. Maybe you should do a series on quick achievement guides. You could call it “speechievements”. How has nobody thought of that before?

0:09 I heard a lot of people just buy HOI4 to play either R56 or whatever ended up replacing Kaiserreich so that they can get a lot of content without having to buy all the DLC, and I think achievements don't work if you're playing with mods
Funny, its one of those achivs i did by accident by just normally playing the SU. Every game of HOI4 eventually turns into a world conquest anyway if u play long enough.
I definitely have to say that the most big brain thing he did was giving all of his equipment away then getting it back. I did not know that was even possible.
Playing with any world changing mods actually disables the mods. Like tool pack, player led peace, and mods like Red Flood or Kaiserreich do it as well.
I was watching this video and then my neighbour came and we watched it together. He said that this video changed his life and touched his heart.

The rarest hearts of iron 4 achievement is "get a girlfriend" as it requires the player to click "exit game" followed by going down the "take a shower" branch of the focus tree down to "go outside" followed by "talk to a woman". At this point there is a small chance of success due to rng which can be improved by taking the "go to the gym" focus and if you are unsuccessful then you have to reset and try again. Truly the hardest hoi4 achievement.
I have it, messed the civil war up pretty badly lol, but the somehow pushed through, hated it though absolutley annyoung to do. Try the Gran Colombia achivment, that is hell in the early game, manpower issues, Peru and loads of occupation.
"Friend in need" went up by 0.1% since ISP uploaded this video *15 minutes ago*. This could get big in a day or two.
about to do it myself
I mean most people don't get achievements since they're playing mods or something
