      That's why my favourite path in hoi4 is fascist UK, it really is original, has unique mechanics and it's not memey like CSA 2.0 or reforming Central Powers(though you can be standard fascist USA if you take advisor quickly enough and have better game this way).
      But well, Byzantium is also fun to play IMO, especially when you figure out how to get Hitler as Basileus.

      @GeorgePerakis 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @The Nova renaissance Are you even Greek? Whether we "created" the ERE is irrelevant. How the fuck do you explain Turan in the Turkish Tree? That never even existed.
      Byzantium is the modern name for the Basileia ton Romaion, an Empire that spoke Greek, was ruled by Greeks, and that most of its European contemporaries referred to as "the Greek Empire". Being Greek and being Roman became synonymous concepts in the medieval period and studying that period in our country's history, yes we view it as our country's history, is a genre of scientific research in this country.
      If you're arguing that it should be renamed to the ERE, so does Paradox, and that's why the Democratic version is the Eastern Roman Republic.
      You're not Greek. You're not a historian. You probably never even play this country. You don't know much of anything. Shut up and let people have fun with their VIDEO GAME, Captain No-Life

    • @GeorgePerakis
      @GeorgePerakis 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @The Nova renaissance Ah yes, criticize my tone instead of my arguments. The classic final move of the ignorant and intellectually dishonest. Let's see how that works out for him Tom.
      The Turanist movement was alive and well in 1936 despite Turan itself never existing, modern Turks being far more genetically related to the peoples they conquered than their Turkic cousins, and Turkish as we know it today being a dead language for the hundreds of years of Ottoman rule.
      But the idea that the Greeks might at one point want to revive the absolute height of power their civilization achieved during Byzantine hegemony over the entire Eastern Mediterranean, nah that's silly, how could that ever make it into Greek fascist ideology in 1936?
      Nevermind the Megali Idea, fundamentally founded on the exact same principle, and wanting to accomplish virtually the exact same outcome, not only existed but damn near succeeded 15 years earlier, let's ignore that crap.
      Tell me, Nova, can I call you Nova? Would you define the Megali Idea as irredentist?
      Wikipedia certainly does, and so do most of its sources. Let's see what the definition of that word might be, shall we?
      From the Oxford dictionary: "Irredentism: a policy of advocating the restoration to a country of any territory formerly belonging to it."
      Formerly belonging to it? Now when did Greece the modern nation EVER fucking own the ENTIRE WEST COAST OF ASIA MINOR? They didn't. But Byzantium sure did. Curious how that works.
      Just admit you don't want Byzantium in the game because it SOUNDS silly. There's nothing wrong with having an opinion. What is wrong is claiming you have any facts to back it up when you clearly fucking don't.

    I think it’s funny how in hoi4 you can just conquer a certain land and declare yourself the successor to a long-fallen, completely unrelated empire, and suddenly all of the foreigners under your occupation resisting your rule are immediately overcome by an unwavering sense of loyalty and assimilate into your country.

      My favourite is when going historocal Metaxas route in a historical game, I decided that Id do the focus that gives me a puplet war goal on Bulgaria, figured I could use them as a buffer and it wss one less axis minor to deal with.
      I attacked, won quickly, ouppeted them, then they promptly took a focus which made them not only join the Axis, but magically free themselves.
      I spent the next year of the war desperately defending the bulk of axis hordes in the mountains around Thessaloniki, thank god the Brits were ahead in the naval game in the Med (though they lost all of North Africa, including the Suez) so they had taken Zara and Italian Albania, and the Italians never justified on Yugoslavia.
      Eventually Id grinded down the Axis enough and managed to build my forces enough so that I could start pushing them back into Bulgaria, I'd capitualted Bulgaria with the help of British and Free French units and were threatening Romania, then Germany declared war on Yugoslavia for Slovenia, and I had to fall back to those same mountains (and actually had to defend the Eprius-Thessaloniki line) and wait till Barbarossa so that we could take back the Balkans.
      Not only after the war I not get Bulgaria my former puppet (a communist coup meant that all the land went to comintern Bulgaria), I didnt get Albania which I occupied with my own forces, the Dodecanese which I had invaded myself using my own fleet and troops.
      All I got was Sicily, and fucking GREEK EAST GERMANY/PRUSSIA because the Soviets were too busy annexing my occupied territories and North Africa to creat East Germany.
      Fucking hell paradox.

    If you want to avoid the need for a world conquest, go ahistorical and set all the AIs to random focuses. It's never clean, but boy is it always something to see. Like my current game where Portugal joined the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere. PORTUGAL.
