Yeah, it always annoys me when streamers skip over that stuff. Without the context it gives, it ends up feeling like I'm just watching a bunch of stuff happening without knowing why or how, and the why and how is the whole reason I'm watching in the first place.
Hearing you read the stories is fun. I get if you don’t want to do them all, take care of your voice lol, but I like hearing you read them. It adds the flavour to the country and paints images of what we can imagine going on in the country beyond the typical hoi4 units moving around the screen.
After seeing the portrait with the dog, pipe, and shit-eating grin I had to see how much of von Luckner's history was actually true, and the phrase "main character of the world" sums it up.
11:36 Yes, play as the locals. But not as Indochina Revolt, but as Annam Autonomy, that can become independent Empire of Vietnam with many interesting paths
The real Von Luckner would be quite famous after the war, because of his "gentleman pirate" reputation, known for being successful at sea while also magnanimous and merciful. So famous in fact, that Moustache Man would try to recruit him, trying to add a popular figure into his party. But Von Luckner told him to f* off, and then proceeded to smuggle people out of Germany for the duration of WW2
the reading of all the text is one of my favorite things about your channel, it really helps you understand whats going on, especially in some of the weird scenarios of kaierredux
I say if there's a big wall of text, you can read it off screen and give a quick summary of it or just leave it up for a period of time for the viewer to read.
you should be Indochina once you get down to the letter I, I’ve heard they have at least one pretty fun path (also reading the text is awesome! It ads to the whole experience!)
Suggestion: the *Ultimate Joya Playthrough* Basically the first time she played HOI4 she picked No-No Germany as her starter nation, while in the MLP mod(and she sure does love MLP) she went as the Crystal Empire So what I propose is, why not both? Like my idea is you having the Equestria at War mod installed but not activated, so all the content and tags are there but not in use as you play the vanilla game, then using the Console Commands you transfer all of the Reich's territory to the CE's tag That way you'd replace/combine Joya's first pick with her MLP pick, allowing her to play as Germany but one that is the Crystal Empire instead of the Third Reich, like her ideal game path To be clear I have no idea if that would work, Im not a modder or game programmer, I just think it would be really fun In any case - *All Hail the Sky Princess!*
I like you reading most of them aloud. In the video if it’s alt history I need a narrative to understand why we did certain things, and certain things happened to ‘us’. There is a degree to which kaiseredux becomes something closer to a graphic novel , or a choose your own adventure book, the truest incarnation of that is TNO, where it’s basically an cinematic universe of books. On the other hand, do feel free to cut some things back. But don’t go too far, if it’s a 4/5paragrpah mega even I do still want to you to say a paragraph of story, not cut it down to 2 lines,, or a gesture at story, some people who do kaiserredux go to far and it just leaves you confused halfway through the video when you have no idea why anything is happening.
Please keep reading them. I myself and a lot of other people listen to these videos or watch on a second screen and having the walls of text read allowed makes the viewing experience a lot easier.
I would love to see you talk about your pedictions based on your historical knowledge. Also pretty sure you could make a remarkable argument defining poverty as genocide
I'm not sure what the majority said but I enjoy you reading them out, and sometimes listen to your game channel as well as your podcast at work. To be honest there's not much going on for the spectator as far as visual stimulation, and your excitement and reactions to the story and politics is really the entertainment value here.
Keep reading! It's not just the text (fine, for me, on a desktop to zoom in and read, not so much on my laptop) but the reactions. Also it was great while invading with the ponies :D
Hey! You’re one of my favorite history content creators of all time. I wish I had you as a teacher in school! I hope you could play TNO sometime. It’s a great AH mod that has some really exploited paths and I know you’ll have fun! Love your content!
Heya Stak, if you enjoy doing a big navy game I'd very highly recommend playing as Cuba in R56, they have the capacity for an absurd navy that can decimate both the Brits and the US, plus you can core all of the Caribbean. I'd love to see you try it.
What if U.S. focused on Asian Theater, I.E., the defense of the Philippines? On PHL's POV, what if Manuel Quezon believed that Japan may eventually invade Philippines? What if Quezon SAVED MORE JEWS than what he gathered at around 1500+ the Americans intended?
Keep reading them. Sometimes, especially for the longer ones, I just put on your video on the background and laugh along when I hear something funny; I don't play HOI4 anyway, so gameplay doesn't matter to me.
What if at the start of the Siberian intervention, Japan finds Alexei Romanov and makes him a puppet ruler of Siberia to justify their ongoing “intervention”? Yes Alexei Romanov is assassinated in July and the intervention starts in August, so either move the intervention forward a couple of months, or have the Czechoslovak Legion rescue Alexei and bring him to the Japanese. Either way, Japan should remain in Siberia after October 1922, with enough legitimacy so that America doesn't embargo Japan or force Japan's withdrawal, & Japan can pay for the “intervention” with Siberian gold/iron/gems/fur. Or, alternatively, one of his sisters, Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, or Anastasia, survives and is married into the Japanese royal family giving Japan a claim over all of Russia.
Keep reading them it helps me follow more during the video and see what the actual political story this mod shows
Yes, Read!
Agreed!
Also helps dislexic people(like ne)a ton
Yeah, I agree
Yeah, it always annoys me when streamers skip over that stuff. Without the context it gives, it ends up feeling like I'm just watching a bunch of stuff happening without knowing why or how, and the why and how is the whole reason I'm watching in the first place.
I love when you read them all, I usually have your vids on the background while I'm doing stuff, so it's amazing
Keep reading the blurbs, they range from horrifying to hilarious and watching your reactions to them is absolutely priceless.
Hearing you read the stories is fun. I get if you don’t want to do them all, take care of your voice lol, but I like hearing you read them. It adds the flavour to the country and paints images of what we can imagine going on in the country beyond the typical hoi4 units moving around the screen.
After seeing the portrait with the dog, pipe, and shit-eating grin I had to see how much of von Luckner's history was actually true, and the phrase "main character of the world" sums it up.
I just translated the A.O.G., and it translated to "The Board of Directors of the East Asian General Administration"
Sounds like something you could actually use to fool people
11:36 Yes, play as the locals. But not as Indochina Revolt, but as Annam Autonomy, that can become independent Empire of Vietnam with many interesting paths
The real Von Luckner would be quite famous after the war, because of his "gentleman pirate" reputation, known for being successful at sea while also magnanimous and merciful.

But Von Luckner told him to f* off, and then proceeded to smuggle people out of Germany for the duration of WW2
I love you reading them, it’s easier then squinting at text and your voice sounds really nice and your reactions are really funny
Poor Ballin, in this timeline dying the same way he did in our own one, just 18 years later.
Bro was just Ballin out of his mind.
Ballin committed suicide in our timeline in the final days of WW1 when he was going to lose all of his shipping company assets
the reading of all the text is one of my favorite things about your channel, it really helps you understand whats going on, especially in some of the weird scenarios of kaierredux
16:23 yes I would like if this was read
Ja😂
I love the story of these; it's why I watch. As someone with dyslexia, your reading is very helpful
I say if there's a big wall of text, you can read it off screen and give a quick summary of it or just leave it up for a period of time for the viewer to read.
Von Luckner is absolutely the person to create a German pirate republic lmao
Brother, definetly read all of that, or else we don't know wtf is going on since it is not historical
Absolutely play Indochina. But ALSO play as Vietnam (there's a path where AOG releases them as a puppet, but they become free and expand)
Vietnam is really good. Also, they have an actual pirate republic path.
@@Tridelmofwow or pirate kingdom, because they can crown the emperor and then core China because of it
This felt like rome having their entire nave destroyed but building it up in 6 months, or so.
Keep reading them. You give interesting commentary on surrounding details, and it lets me listen when I'm not watching while following along
I love listening to you talk so having you read everything out while I'm gaming is just so fun! You have a great voice stak! use it!
What if the United Arab Republic was a success? (Egypt/Cold War mod)
Is Libya+tunisia? Or Egypt Libya and Syria?
Yes please
You can also form the United Arab States as Egypt in KX
UAR could have never been a success
you should be Indochina once you get down to the letter I, I’ve heard they have at least one pretty fun path
(also reading the text is awesome! It ads to the whole experience!)
Kickass content stakuyi!! Been following you for like 2 years and actually bought hoi4 because of you lol!! Please keep reading all the events
20:34 "I'm trying to be a Pirate!"
yeah i enjoy hearing you read them, your reactions are fun when you get to the really strange or dark bits.
We love when you read the insane and absurd stories, they're the best part of this mod!
For deutsch westafrika, you have to play the rhodesia path, for the memes.
i like it when you pause so i can read the texts
Suggestion: the *Ultimate Joya Playthrough*
Basically the first time she played HOI4 she picked No-No Germany as her starter nation, while in the MLP mod(and she sure does love MLP) she went as the Crystal Empire
So what I propose is, why not both?
Like my idea is you having the Equestria at War mod installed but not activated, so all the content and tags are there but not in use as you play the vanilla game, then using the Console Commands you transfer all of the Reich's territory to the CE's tag
That way you'd replace/combine Joya's first pick with her MLP pick, allowing her to play as Germany but one that is the Crystal Empire instead of the Third Reich, like her ideal game path
To be clear I have no idea if that would work, Im not a modder or game programmer, I just think it would be really fun
In any case - *All Hail the Sky Princess!*
say that does work how we would hope it would lead to one awesome vid id def watch
this would be a very elaborate in-joke of a mod
@@DOAHITMAN
Im happy you think so too!
And yeah I hope so
that is not how that works.
@@0rland0
I figured it likely would not, but I still felt I should suggest the scenario
Please continue read the text, its always so interesting, it gives the videos the chefs kiss
I personally quite like it when you read the large blocks of text
Lore of A Pirate Asia with Dogs in Hoi4 Kaiserredux A2Z: momentum 100
The trees of kaiser/redux really make me want to play it more.
@28:21
As a singaporean, I'm deeply saddened by the threat of becoming Australian
I like you reading most of them aloud.

Keep reading the passages, your reaction to them is half the fun!
keep reading dude!!! I don't like reading much myself but i like the histories and such so you reading it is perfect.
I like dogs, I love Asia (I'm asian), AND IT'S A PIRATE LIFE FOR ME!
Love these videos man lol, they have helped me learn the game
The clutch against Japan while playing as Indochina was solid.
Yeah read the text man it’s really fun to dive deep into the lore
Keep reading. The goofy stories is why I watch the alternate history and the mod stuff.
What if Alf Landon won the Election against Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936.
Keep reading i enjoy the lore and it helps keep the pace of the video
Please keep reading them. I myself and a lot of other people listen to these videos or watch on a second screen and having the walls of text read allowed makes the viewing experience a lot easier.
I would love to see you talk about your pedictions based on your historical knowledge. Also pretty sure you could make a remarkable argument defining poverty as genocide
Keep reading them aloud, it's amazing that way
Read them, especially when so much effort was put into the lore
Definitely read them out loud, you have a great storytelling voice!
Seriously.
I know you might not like this, but I do like it when you read those things. Even if you just give the TLDR version.
Please keep reading the events! Its so much more fun :D
I love your vids man
A I love you

Ah yes the resurgence of Pax German East Asia be like 🗿👌😎👍🇩🇪❤💙💚💛💜:
Keep reading! It's not just the text (fine, for me, on a desktop to zoom in and read, not so much on my laptop) but the reactions. Also it was great while invading with the ponies :D
As a pirate of Tortuga, this is a nice touch.
00:01 This man would do anything excpet post the stellaris video he promised
Yeah @stakuyi, where is our MLP Stellaris video?
Can't wait till you play lovecrafts america
What if the allies didn’t let Germany have the sudaten land in the Munich Agreement.
What if the Qing reformed and prevented the Xinhai Revolution because of it?
Hey! You’re one of my favorite history content creators of all time. I wish I had you as a teacher in school! I hope you could play TNO sometime. It’s a great AH mod that has some really exploited paths and I know you’ll have fun! Love your content!
I like when you read it but if you don't want to that's fine too, just leave it up so we can pause and read it ourselves.

Albert will never be ballin
0:51
I like the reading, so keep it up!
Imagine forgetting the Japanese put much of their naval power into aircraft carriers and not putting anti-air on your own ships.
What if America focused on its economic policy and instead of intervening in Europe enforces the Monroe doctrine against South America
Keep reading the things I enjoy the lore
KX timeline: Go home Fritz!
Man I cant wait to see stakuyj play the constitutional American republic (even better if he plays the yockey path)
Critical support for an indochina playthrough
For me I'd actually like it to be to /your/ preference, I'd rather you enjoy and read so you enjoy the faction you're playing more, it's great.
Keep reading them. Sometimes, especially for the longer ones, I just put on your video on the background and laugh along when I hear something funny; I don't play HOI4 anyway, so gameplay doesn't matter to me.
BECOME HO CHI MIHN. Start that Ho Chi Trail!
2 days 2 UPLOADS WHAT DID I ACCIDENTALLY FALL INTO AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE
You’ll play as Indochina. We have to reach the Is eventually
29:35 he turned French for a second
I think you could read them off video and just give a quick summery to us
Yes for reading
Since Stakyui is back on Kaiserredux A to Z. Day 19 of asking Stakyui to continue playing Kaiseredux A to Z, so he can reach Malta and play Mintoff.
9:40 You have only yourself to blame, Stakuyi. You could have kept von Moltke or chose Prinz Walde and have made a "better" and less evil playrhrough
read the pop ups makes the video longer, less editing, and fun to listen to
If you picked molke everything would have been rainbows and sunshine. Also you've pick every evil colonial path in the game, lol.
Stakuyi has been spoiled by all the faction mechanics in Equestria at War it seems.
I want you to read the phonebook so I can fall asleep to it at night!
If Prussia was an Army with a Nation, then German East Asia is a Navy with a Nation.
What if at the start of the Siberian intervention, Japan finds Alexei Romanov and makes him a puppet ruler of Siberia to justify their ongoing “intervention”?
Yes Alexei Romanov is assassinated in July and the intervention starts in August, so either move the intervention forward a couple of months, or have the Czechoslovak Legion rescue Alexei and bring him to the Japanese.

Or, alternatively, one of his sisters, Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, or Anastasia, survives and is married into the Japanese royal family giving Japan a claim over all of Russia.
I like them being read
I'd prefer if you read it, I personally listen closely, the added time onto the recording doesn't deter anyone.
Day 50 of asking stakuyi to do the goddess viira path for barrad magroacy in equestria at war
I like the reading its very funny
Hey, read those things aloud. What you're comfortable with.
There's a coconut kingdom path for Vietnam (Indochinese Union). DO IT
Ballin, but at what cost...
We love the lore.
Play as non-neutral Switzerland again but this time join the Axis powers
READ EVERY EVENT
You missed Von Luckner's Albatross Story :O
