Reman's Paradox did a fair good one recently about why 40 width is better than 20. It doesn't go through everything point by point but it'll give you a good outline.
Yeah, Reman's video is good, but only works if you have the production capacity and military experience, so basically for major nations or late game. I guess I can make a small video on how to best make use of your starting templates etc.
I think he made his video ultimately to try and settle the 20 width vs 40 width debate, using quantifiable numbers, rather than as a practical guide to build up an army but you're right it is late game stuff. It doesn't help new players develop, only experienced player to continue to hone their experience. I'm sure there are lots of people who would definitely appreciate even a short video setting out how to go about designing units. What to use, where to start and how to develop thereafter.
So, any chance for a series where you hop between formable nations? Finish one, release next one to play as and form it. OR maybe an anti-WWII campaign? Start by ruining all of Ethiopian war for Italy and thus blocking their focus tree, proceed to ruin things for other majors.
19:02 "this was caused by a run away tank i'm chasing but it's very fast" that's something i never thought i would hear someone say. unexpected and i laughed so hard.
Italy: 'No, we must not risk antagonizing the world.' Also Italy: Invades all of its neighbors with 100% World Tension The ingame texts are funny when you're not playing a 'regular' game tbh
I remember seeing this video and having no idea what hoi4 was but whatever it was I was interested by it and I did some research and I found out it was only on pc and I didn’t have one. Now 4 years later I find this video again thank you taureur
Next Challenge: Form Arabia, it might sounds easy but the nations that start out with the decision are extremely weak and on top of that you need to go to war with both Allies and Axis.
Play as Yugoslavia on the hardest difficulty, don't declare war on anyone and don't change government or join a faction. The goal is to survive as Prince Paul's Yugoslavia and be intact by the end of the game. If being neutral is too hard then joining the Allies is allowed.

Alpha The Wyvern 西洋龍 yea, but grammar comes back in texts a hella lot, so you should be sure that you dont make 1 little mistake and fuck it up every time you see neutrum accusativus, or something else. Just check all the grammar.
Play as the Philippines and conquer Asia. As a bonus, also conquer your old colonial masters: Spain and USA. Hell, probably even the world if you want to.. You need to be Fascist. Use any mod you want.
USA was not a colonial master, it was just a master, Spain was a colonial master because it actually colonized it, America just took it over and never tried colonization
Imagine sailing out from Normandy in the dead of night, then an hour before dawn when you and your friends will land in Britain, it happens. At first you think that the light is the sun rising, but something is wrong... Its from the north? The another sun and another, until the night sky shines brighter than a midsummer day. A few seconds pass and you taste metal in your mouth and then the shockwave hits. The sea, calm just a minute ago, is now full of waves and the hot wind howl against your landing craft as a sound louder than any artillery barrage rips the air apart. And then, silence... Only the sound of the now rough sea and the boats motor is heard. An hour later, when you reach shore, there is no gunfire. No shells hit the beach, no British bunkers spray steel at you and your friends, only the broken barricades and barbed wire greets you. Inland, there is only silence, not even the birds sing. High above you, a great black cloud is illuminated in the early morning sun. Deep inside you wonder what waits ahead, you wonder what humanity has become.
Imagine a collab where everyone had their own goal, like: One plays as Russia, goal - build a strong Iron Curtain One plays France, rebuild Napoleonic France and march to Moscow One plays as Italy, reforming Rome So that everyone will have to collide sooner or later
The problem with this gameplay-wise (as you mentioned) is that by the time you reform the Imperium Romanus you’ve already won the game. Anything you do further would just be beating up on inferior powers (unless some ultra-faction pops up somewhere). That’s why I much prefer restoring the Austrian-Hungarian Empire as Hungary, because at least by the time you activate it there’s still a whole lot of the game left to play. Great video, though, and I’ll definitely try this. Thanks!
Should have taken all of Hungary as well, since it was part of Roman empire all the way to the Slovakia... The border was on the Danube. So was Vienna - so 90 % of Austria too.
Damn, you make this game look so easy. I’m having the toughest time breaking through Romania. I clean through Yugoslavia easy and Greece is sometimes a struggle. But I’ve never broke through Romania. I’ve got nearly 100 divisions along the boarder and yet they always loose.
Naima You can actually just punch through France in 1937 if you strategic bomb them hard enough and use close air support. Take them out before they join allies and then you can conquer Britain easily from France by justifying on Austria or Yugoslavia.
Sugestion: play as Montenegro in either The Great War mod or Modern day and only take the slavic nations. Why? Because Montenegro is the smallest of the slavic nations.
would love to see a video where you do a previous challenge where you used puppets lots which helped you win but this time you would have to annex everything instead of puppeting
Super good video - thanks for the upload :-) Challenge: Play as Croatia by releasing it from Yugoslavia. Then restore Austria-Hungary and establish its own faction "Central Powers", which Bulgaria and Turkey must join. In addition, you must be at war with both the Allies and the Soviet Union.
World Conquest as any minor nation (except China (if it counts), Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico and Greece) with civilian economy and volunteer only, and you can't join any factions.
The only problem is that you missed taking all states on the rhine river. If you did that this would have been 100% perfection, this is as it stands 99% perfection
i like puppeting ethiopia a lot more actually, it sets you back a couple factories but they have 10 million population and italy has manpower issues sometimes, and if you take advantage of them early on they can be really helpful. also when you end up at war with the allies it’s a lot easier to defend just somaliland and eritrea without the giant border on ethiopia, as long as you dont call them into the war.
i am play as latvia and i took estonia im screaming . but you take all over the world and your voice is like 'oh i took everywhere'. btw sry for my bad english.
I've got a good one. Play as Bhutan. Without gaining military access, move a single dvision (or more) on foot through arabia until it reaches liberia and takes it.
I know the game didn't tell you to, but in order for your borders to look more like SPQR at her peak, you needed to also take the Caucasus region and Crimea. Besides that good vid, I am jealous of how easily you seem to do things in the game when I usually struggle to annex Bulgaria as Greece on recruit.
Hoi4 Challenge: Do "One Empire" achievement, while also: 1.be in no faction whole game 2.make no puppets, only direct control, except puppets Britian own at the start of the game 3. You must be at war with everyone before year 1944( not end challenge, just be at war) gl : )
Its actually possible to do without fighting Germany if you justify on Austria instead of Greece and rush the Greek focus as No. 8. That way you declare on Austria,Yug,Rom,Greece the same day Japan pushes WT over 25%. You can also invade Spain for free before France if the Nationalists win.
Now that Yugo is guaranteed from the start by Allies (thanks paradox) this has become significantly harder imo. The AI also seems a lot more competent. I'm going to try and naval invade behind the alps and hopefully break out with some motorized and light tanks but AI always seems to garrisons ports now, at least some if not most and then instantly strat redeploys units. Much harder. So far I've got Turkey and Romania, you used to be able to cheese French AI by luring them across the alps and then cutting them off but that doesn't seem to work anymore
