Would you play Dutch East Indies/Indonesia again? Someone recently created a mod for it. Well, you can play either the historical realism one or the full-on memetic one.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of ISP the guy? I thought not. It’s not a story Bokoen would tell you. ISP was a Hearts of Iron gamer who was so versatile that he could even play other paradox titles. He had such a knowledge of Paradox games, he could even complete an Artillery Only playthrough. Unfortunately, he showed his Community the memes that he knew, and then his community sentenced him to A-Z
Imagine tomorrow he uploads a video titled "This Focus ACTUALLY BREAKS America" and the thumbnail is the reestablishing the gold standard icon with Alf in the bottom left. Little Timmy would would go absolutely insane.
I mean, if you go gold standard, you can immediately obliterate the Great Depression by just rushing down the Great Depression line, because you don't have to wait to draft legislation.
Trump actually did a great job, unfortunately rigged elections and a corrupt media which placed labels on him which were all untrue gave us what we have now.
Actually the decision to annex the Soviets doesn't require you to be at war to press it. It just forces you INTO the war when you press it. Very minor difference but I believe it's the only decision/focus/whatever in the game that does that.
FDR: Hey Browder, can I have the support of your communists? Browder: To institute a communist revolution in the government and the end of capitalism, right? FDR: Yeeeeeeeeees FDR: Actually reinvigorates the American capitalist economy through social programs and ends the Big Sad in a year like a boss FDR: Germany time
This brings back so much nostalgia as a man from 1562 I remember this very clearly this is not cringe as kids after 2021 say this is a masterpiece which is underrated thank you for posting this beatiful relic.
Every video I see just further convinces me Player-Led Peace Conferences should just be integrated into vanilla HOI4. Unholy Alliance was so much fun in Red Alert 2.
I 100% agree the peace deals are still a little wonky. I always end up feeling like France, USSR and China shouldn't get to partake in the peace conference because "No, I fought Germany&Japan. At best they fought you."
There's a Japan focus which increases the price in points on the peace conference to annex their territory. Combine that with relatively fewer victory points than most major countries and the stupidity of the AI fighting you for control of IWO JIMA and you get half of Japan alive with all their navy as well
@@somezsaltz6835 it is estimated that the U.S. counted around 407,000 military deaths and around 12,000 civilian deaths (due to crimes of war and military activity such as bombings.) The total death count for all Americans amounted up to 420,000.
I did something similar to this a few days ago - but i went all the way down to "full segregation" and the civil war events started happening, so i positioned my entire army just on top of all the victory points in the south and they basically insta-capitulated, but it broke something and the pre-civil-war events kept firing for the rest of the playthrough

"You'll be paying for your baguette with a Euro" The French made the euro and Germany had to adopt it, not the other way around. But the Germans 4D chessed them by just having a bigger economy.

honestly, liberals using leftists to push mild reforms and then dropping the leftists immediately when they want to go further is incredibly typical liberal behaviour so congrats paradox for this accurate politics simulator
This is crazy but there’s this one guy who did it by 43 after joining in 41. I saw the video a few days back, It’s Serena Republic if you wanna see them do it
In my hoi4 game as Germany minutes before I went to war with the Soviets they went into a civil war which they lost. And then I just killed the new Soviets

ooh boy i do like when isp uploads back to back but i hope his mental health and sanity is still intact
I had an aneurysm when he deleted the carriers from production.
Hey ISP. I was havin a shiyt day and seeing this upload made me happy. Thanks for your hard work.
