Austria Hungary? Why? What did Gary do? Well there we go, I promised myself that I would have this upload schedule for the first week after dlc released. Can I recommend doing this? No, it's just not the best way to make videos. Less time to think through ideas, less time to put them together and so on. But it's good that I did it, it's something that I have thought about for a very long time.
Good on you for keeping it! Its always great to see a video from you :) On topic- I very much like the dlc - it "seems" that this one is a bit better reviewed as well compared to prior lol
The point you raise about how you wish it were more like the Polish Habsburg path is interesting because the new Austrian path to reform the austro-hungarian empire is actually like the Polish path. You need to build up monarchist support by decision before you can get them as a puppet which is more engaging and takes some player engagement. I don't know why they chose to handle Hungary any different though
Because the focus tree are made by different people I think, hence the reason why they are so different from one another in their mechanics (like sometimes you need to click on the map to influence countries, sometimes it’s in the decision tabs, sometimes it’s just rng)
I think the Austrian path for reforming Austria-Hungary is actually stronger because you can get a whole bunch of countries into the Habsburg alliance for free and once you get to the bottom of the shared focus tree you can just annex them. Plus Austria gets cores on all German states by decision through their focus tree
You missed the most important focus, the joint focuses, that's where you get the most cheated bonuses, and you don't have to investigate the focuses if not the puppets will do it for you.
There wasn't much to say on them, they help you snowball and you don't have to do much to achieve that. And they weren't apart of the original ah tree, there's was alot to cover and something had to be left behind. Maybe next time.
"Fixed: is an understatement, it was turned into a monster. Wish that Yugoslavia would get a proper "Tito Path", the shit the Yugoslav Partisans pulled deserves at least that much.
The little entente existed exactly to prevent the return of Habsburg monachy. It's so stupid how easy this still is. Creating Austria-Hungary shouldn't be possible without a hard war.
Well it would be too hard because you literally have to fight Czechoslovakia, Romania, Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey and you only have like 10 divisions or less. I think this makes sense and it’s a game anyway so yeah
A few days ago I tried to play with my friend but we didn't have the latest DLC's I went German Empire and couldn't do "tend to the future of Germany" so I had an unavoidable silesian uprising His "protect czechoslovakia" focus was automatically bypassed once he cored austria by the "restoration of austria-hungary" focus The DLC seems good but it made playing without it on what was already there *awful*
Austria hungary from austrian focus tree is the thing you want you can choose to fully annex countries or just sub them and you need to do few political decisions to make the demand. (1 decision is 50pp then it shows how likely will they accept)
3:36 so true, why hasn’t anyone talked about this? I literally watched hollowbeing’s video on the new DLC and it’s SOOO easy, you unironically puppet 5(including romania and poland) countries that could easily beat you
@@BubblesZest it would have been way cooler if you had to make decisions to maybe propose industrial investments, military cooperation and political appeasement and THEN you get to puppet them or not
Great video detailing a great strategy! I'm impressed you're able to win a war against Yugoslavia and Romania already in 1937. I've been trying to perfect a A-H strategy ever since the Death and Dishonour DLC came out back in 2017 or so, and I usually capitulate Romania by early 1939. Your strategy is much faster. I notice you go all the way to extensive conscription when you declare on yugoslavia and it left me wondering. Is it necessary to win the war, or could you go for war economy instead? Personally, I've used the PP to go up to war economy as fast as possible (because I use NAP to avoid war with Germany and thus can't use that opportunity to go for war economy). With the shared focus tree, you get so many manpower bonuses so I haven't prioritized going to extensive conscription.
It's too easy and I don't wanna be thta guy but IT'S TOOOOOOO UNREALISTIC like cmon, idk with which tree it is, but with one of them you can get Yugo, Romania, Hungary, Austria and Poland(?), WITH NO WAR MIND YOU
I have something off topic but I really need to know is it possible for me to play a mod that alter the map it anyways like adding a new state cause I’m trying to play the expanded Hungary mod but I keep getting the map error thing cause those new state in the game I switch to version bolivar 1.14.10
Why are you don't compelete Ausftro-Hungarian joint tree?( It can give you and your imperial puppets (Montenegro, Albania, Silesia, Austria, Hungary etc) a bunch of good bonuses
You only get cores on Galicia if Poland says yes. As for Silesia, you have to do it while Bohemia is still your puppet so that they get cores on Silesia and then you get those cores when you integrate them.

My dislike of Austria Hungary is all personal and has nothing to do with their focus tree or portrait in HOI4

For variety. Because two countries doing it the exact same way both times would be kind of boring :/.

What really? Why become Austria-hungary core on all german lands?
Austrian Empire only, not Austria-Hungary to my knowledge

Fr those focuses are amazing

I went German Empire and couldn't do "tend to the future of Germany" so I had an unavoidable silesian uprising
His "protect czechoslovakia" focus was automatically bypassed once he cored austria by the "restoration of austria-hungary" focus

PDX patched both those things one or two days ago in the latest patch
Why you and ISP always upload literally at the same time
it is ISP secret channel with an ai voiceover
@azalon2752 i order an approvement from one of them right now!
This must be the Rat’s secret channel
Austria hungary from austrian focus tree is the thing you want you can choose to fully annex countries or just sub them and you need to do few political decisions to make the demand. (1 decision is 50pp then it shows how likely will they accept)
When I played this path, I didn’t even have diplo pressure, NAP and i forgot to improve relations, I just Austrias divisions and the Czechs accepted
3:36 so true, why hasn’t anyone talked about this? I literally watched hollowbeing’s video on the new DLC and it’s SOOO easy, you unironically puppet 5(including romania and poland) countries that could easily beat you
Asking nicely continues to be Hoi4's most overpowered strat.
@@BubblesZest it would have been way cooler if you had to make decisions to maybe propose industrial investments, military cooperation and political appeasement and THEN you get to puppet them or not
I'd be very interested in you comparing this path against the Austrian AH paths (Puppeting and Annexation).
Much more fun to take over all the lands needed to form a new country than being railroaded through a focus tree.
I love seeing Vasyl Vyshyvany(Wilhelm Von Habsburg) in this DLC
Man imagine playing austria u have to get enough influence for those former country just to see Hungary just click the focus and get them for free
i think you should try the austrian side, i think you will like it

You forgot about the joint focus tree its actually really good + Austria does alot of those focuses!
3:17 when you start he focusit already determines the outcome. so if you start the focus and then improve relations its like nothing happened
damn i was on the fence about buying this now I kind of want to
Did Paradox understand that players dislike RNG? Yes and no.
Paradox: remove rng from hungary--> add it to belgian eu
No core
If they fixed it, it doesn't look anything like this anymore. I think it's broken again haha
Is Belgian EU the new Austria Hungary?
It can feel that way yeah
Any chance of doing a video on Belgian EU? Looks like a fun path and I adore the EH blue map color.
It's too easy and I don't wanna be thta guy but IT'S TOOOOOOO UNREALISTIC like cmon, idk with which tree it is, but with one of them you can get Yugo, Romania, Hungary, Austria and Poland(?), WITH NO WAR MIND YOU
I should ask. How did you not get an event for Anschluss?
I have something off topic but I really need to know is it possible for me to play a mod that alter the map it anyways like adding a new state cause I’m trying to play the expanded Hungary mod but I keep getting the map error thing cause those new state in the game I switch to version bolivar 1.14.10
What about doing it as the Austrians?
Why are you don't compelete Ausftro-Hungarian joint tree?(
It can give you and your imperial puppets (Montenegro, Albania, Silesia, Austria, Hungary etc) a bunch of good bonuses
Yeah it can, just didn't fit into this video scope. If anything me winning against Germany without it perfectly underlines that.
yo man can u make a new guide for spanish civil war speedrun?
wait what, what focustree is this? I have WAY more in the political area???
No it’s not
It still sucks
you can also form EU with that
u used to be able to invade to get wareconomy in 37 but thats ruined now
No? You still can't core Galicia(southern Poland and a small part of Romania)
What templates did you use?
9/1 art support
@BubblesZest cool, l'm surpirsed that beat germany
Try getting slovakia as greater hungary, wait now germany stole slovakia and made it a puppet without any reason ^^
Had to waste 3000 ws to reannex my puppets land because the croatia and general government where spawned. Thanks paradox
No cores on Silesia and Galicia is lame
You only get cores on Galicia if Poland says yes. As for Silesia, you have to do it while Bohemia is still your puppet so that they get cores on Silesia and then you get those cores when you integrate them.
@ that’s dumb
Is Hungarian fascist Austria-Hungary still possible in this dlc?
Do you play Garry's mod?
