The conference should be more like the Darkest Hour Kaiserreich peace, where you get a bunch of events allowing you to choose what tact you want to take at the peace conference.
You should give Old World Blues another go. It has had massive amounts of content added since you last played on the channel. I would recommend playing as Lanius's Cohort or Eighties if you do, both are expansionist nations that can be lots of fun. There's also a monarchy in Manitoba, and we know how you feel about playing those.
10th Anniversary ideas - first, congratulations! 1: Play some paradox games AS THEY WERE in 2013. 2: Reenact some old videos/game play throughs. 3: Some sort of “HOI4/2013-timeframe mod?”4: Civ2 WW1 or WW2 mod games? (The mods do exist).
I have played as austria-hungary in great war redux and i think the best choice to survive is to be the danube federation, you dont have to deal with 100 bosnians bombing something everyday
Grats on ten years Alex! I only came across you on the Yogs Civ games but then wanted a tutorial for HOI4 and youtube showed you. Only been two years or so but i've really enjoyed your content :)
Hey Alex, just to let you know but navy in great war mod seems kinda broken. Something to do with mods ship types (like dreadnoughts) all being classified as battleships, so when the AI sees the amount of battleships, it retreats as it thinks it will lose, even though the ships are kinda crap. When i played I couldent get a single naval battle
I love the fact that in this mod the victory (with the part of the focus tree you picked about realising puppets) will look like either basic setup for HOI4 (central powers lose) or Kaiserreich (entente loses)
Austria-hungarian the crown prince Archduke Franz Ferdinand along with his wife got killed by a bosnian serb in Sarajevo 1914. Austria-Hungary over reacted and gave Serbia an ultimatum which Serbia which was very much expected to decline so Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia which was an ally to both Russia and France. This overreaction by Austria-Hungary started the great war/world war one and doomed Austria-Hungary.
1:50 "got any ideas?" Mass group suicide pact. No, but seriously, we should do a massive multiplayer match in HOI4 or Crusader Kings or really anything. And we just fight to see what happens. Heck, you could just sit back in spectator mode and just host it. Try to commentate and review the match as your fans spill each others blood for your entrainment.
I'm just waiting for the day Alex walks away in rage trying to "save" a really bad hoi4 campaign on camera and then Lady Rambler just sits in his chair and singlehandedly wins the save without much effort and then the channel name mysteriously changes to Lady Rambler's Domain 😂
The number of times Alex looked right at the Entente steamrolling its way back into SE Europe and then just went back to micromanaging the western front as if nothing was going on was truly baffling.
"So far I've taken 1 tile, at the cost of 30,000 men, so it's quite accurate to WWI" 1 TILE OF GROUND HAS BEEN WON, 30,000 MEN ARE GONE AND AS AS THE MEN CRAWLED, THE TH-camR CALLED AND THE KILLING CARRIED ON AND ON, WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF IT ALL? WHATS THE PRICE OF A TILE?
Well, there is a big turn-based strategy game called "Strategic Command: World War 1", but I don't think it's the best for a video... although it is tons of fun to play.
Play *The New Order: Last Days of Europe* and do some funnies in Burgundy. Maybe do some shenanigans in the British Isles as Scotland or Wales. Do some stuff in Russia, or maybe free the world as the United States. Maybe do some Japanese shenanigans? Oh and don’t forget to play *Red Flood* as Russia or France or maybe Germany.
I am really curious, "the January Ad rev" is always bad in Jan? Or is it this January particular is bad with TH-cams retroactive content rules changes? If it is "always" bad in January, why? Or is it general, we spend lots of money in Dec/Xmas and need to pay the bills?
okay Alex, hear me out other map games like HOI where you can invade, use diplomacy and things like that well for us broke people, we have a game called rise of nations , it's on roblox, but it's actually a good game , faster paced but honestly still a great time
I’m surprised that Serbia survived this war and in the video because of the failed assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Bosnia, Austro-Hungarian Empire
You inquired about WW1 games you haven't played before, I've had my eye on this one for a good bit and it's called "The Great War: Western Front". I think you might enjoy it.
I know nothing of this mod, but I would enjoy if the lack of supply is intended. With the reason no one can push, French or Austrian, is becuase no one has guns or artillery lol
Toy Soldiers is a WW1 tower defense game, not sure if you've played that. If you're planning on getting the game get the Complete edition, which includes a German story mode instead of just British.
*Can I FINALLY get a victory?*
Probaly not
No
Nope
idk
Ottomans next
The main advantage you have here is that it is literally impossible to be worse than Hotzendorf
You are forgetting the biggest fool - Luigi Cadorna, Italian Army Chief of Staff

"Strategic Command: European Theatre" is a very basic version of HOI IV. It is a bit old, but can be fun. Still sold on GOG, as far as I know.
I can now imagine a Mussolini type scenario where Austria Hungary wants revenge for being kept out of/undercut from the Frankfurt Treaty
If AH had a general this good they’d still be round today.
Alex you should do a Mega Campaign for youre 10th anniversary

20:25 Abandons his allays. 28:02 is angry his allays abandon him
For the 10 year anniversary, do a full paradox mega campaign!
Man, I've been watching you since your total war massive armies videos. THose were the days.
A good 10 year celebration would be another Save your desaster week
You should try Campaign for North Africa. Great boardgame
I did watch Alex since 3 years ago and i'm still don't know what mean "rambler" sorry for my English i'm learning
14:50 the happy man is dictator of fascist Croatia in vanilla hoi4 and IRL
quick fact, "that Ilyrian fellow" was a leader of the facist croatian german puppet state in ww2 irl
No, its a different guy, they just have the same name, the Pavelić in the video was the vice president of the state of slovenes croats and serbs irl
10th anniversary a whole month of a 1 disaster save a day
equatorial guinea wc for 10 anniversary
I have played as austria-hungary in great war redux and i think the best choice to survive is to be the danube federation, you dont have to deal with 100 bosnians bombing something everyday
for 10 years of channel,do a multiplayer game with all of viewers
Can you make a HoI4 Rise of Nations Video from 1900 to 2020?
for 10th anniversary: 24h stream??
I tried to use the Austro-Hungarian nation in that mod, it sucks, and even though I was doing good, I took too long and the scripted peace happened.
Luxembourg rules the world!!!!! For 10 year special
Play the game from your first vid? Considering I only joined about four years ago I'm guessing it's HOI 😆
Thank ya
congrats on ten years!
What about A to Z? No one has done that...😉
always use mortars in that mod
Hoi 4 but you can't create armies
you should play call of war
10 anniversary? damn i guess its time to smoke some more weed.
rising front
For your channel's 10 year anniversary you should bring the gang back with ISP and Drew. Or just ISP, since Drew has become a confirmed redditor
What’s going on with drew? Out of the loop. Just know he made some pretty plain observer videos of paradox and civ type games.
@@MrCalls1Now he just looks at reddit
@@rosscalverley (if he even remembers how to)
@@WeaselLikeMan he has a gaming channel, he just turned his main into a meme type channel or some shit
ISP is a sex predator
Alex, you should play as the Great Qing. There's a submod for it for the great war redux which got updated recently. Quite a challenge!
Ah yes... I remember watching Bittersteel play it. Alex, if you do this, watch his videos for tips on how to keep the Qing Empire alive...
What's the submod called?
Cute avatar!
Or there’s the “Manchu Restoration” under Kaiserreich.
@goldengriffin4715 No, I'm talking about a submod for it. Bittersteel should play it too though!
Grats on ten years Alex! I only came across you on the Yogs Civ games but then wanted a tutorial for HOI4 and youtube showed you. Only been two years or so but i've really enjoyed your content :)
Alex should do some multiplayer games with fans.
Fans vs Alex. And only other Alex can join his side. Oh f*** My real name is Alex XD
Day 2 of asking for Qing GWR with the submod

When he would have played the Austrians ti the bitter end. He would have gotten the decision to reintegrate all of them back into 1 empire.
Alex uh. The final focus would've reunited your empire at the end of WW1. So basically you lost the ability to be one again.
I facepalmed so hard
you need to play supremacy 1914 it is like HOI4 but more simple it is also very fun and you play against real players
Tbh i love decentralized government gameplay but i despise them not being the same color as their overlord
Can we get Collab with ISP or maybe Drew for the 10th anniversary? (Probably Impossible)
The Mega campaign would be fine too.
You should play Fortnite then you will be the guy from fortnite
I love this mod. Specially when Alex plays it
what is name of the mode?

20:43 why u ask? Its a wild guess but maybe its cuz U DONT USE UR MILS, THEY ARE THERE SITING DOING NOTHING AS U COMPLAIN ABOUT NOT HAVING GUNS
We're still here 10 years later because we've already committed...
You're stuck with us now.
We also enjoy the content too so that helps.
I managed to make Austria Hungary an actually competent ally BUT GERMANY DECIDED TO GIVE UP WHILE WE WERE WINNING
when I play this mod as Germany, Austria ALWAYS comes in clutch for my wars and goes above and beyond, picking me up cause im new 🤣😂
For 10th Anniversary, come to Las Vegas, Nevada USA. Then, you can shoot real guns from HOI4 games at the range!
Armchair history is making a similar game to other Paradox games. He already has a game called Fire and Maneuver that you should try.
Call of war is a similar(ish) game to hoi4 but lasts over 18-20 days
maybe for the anniversary you could do a world conquest as the weakest hoi4 country or as your favourite Country
Grandfather did you see the football match today?
Wich one?
Austria - Hungary.
Who where they playing against?
Hits hard,my great grandfather was an Austro-hungarian Officer on the Italian front
damnnnn, 8:37 those are some weak Italy units.
It’s Italy, what do you expect
Alex you could try stratgic command it's got a ww1 and 2 game
Alex saying we need to google what WW1 is about instead of just Youtubing it. Unreal
I'm just waiting for the day Alex walks away in rage trying to "save" a really bad hoi4 campaign on camera and then Lady Rambler just sits in his chair and singlehandedly wins the save without much effort and then the channel name mysteriously changes to Lady Rambler's Domain 😂
Oddly specific, are you a time traveler?
You should do a series based on reviewing other WW2/ real time strategy games and finding out the dumbest strats that exist within those realms!
A great 10th anniversary idea would be playing a bunch of mods & games you ever played but didn't play much recently
There is a game like hoi4 but its in roblox called rise of nations
The number of times Alex looked right at the Entente steamrolling its way back into SE Europe and then just went back to micromanaging the western front as if nothing was going on was truly baffling.
Try Gary Grigsby's War in the East. Its more complex than Hoi and is turn-based.
You should a do a mega campaign with imperator Rome, ck2, eu4, march of the eagles, Victoria 3, and hoi4, for your 10th year anniversary.
I can do it better😈
Second or
First.
10th anniversary means 10 width only challenge.
no you joined March 2nd 2013 you liar
Play arty only for the 10th anniversary
"So far I've taken 1 tile, at the cost of 30,000 men, so it's quite accurate to WWI"
1 TILE OF GROUND HAS BEEN WON, 30,000 MEN ARE GONE
AND AS AS THE MEN CRAWLED, THE TH-camR CALLED AND THE KILLING CARRIED ON
AND ON, WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF IT ALL?
WHATS THE PRICE OF A TILE?
Bring back the Star Wars mod

you should definetly for the 10 year anniversary check out End of A New Beginning Sardinia-Piedmont, or ww1 ottoman empire.
4:03 Verdun? It's a great fps game
In 2013 I would have been 4! Crazy to think that you have been going for this long congrats on 10 year and let’s hope there will be many more!🎉
Reading that sentence made me feel like an old fuck at 20. Cheers mate
I am really curious, "the January Ad rev" is always bad in Jan? Or is it this January particular is bad with TH-cams retroactive content rules changes? If it is "always" bad in January, why? Or is it general, we spend lots of money in Dec/Xmas and need to pay the bills?
I think you should do a game of War Thunder for your 10th anniversary!
okay Alex, hear me out
other map games like HOI where you can invade, use diplomacy and things like that
well for us broke people, we have a game called rise of nations , it's on roblox, but it's actually a good game , faster paced but honestly still a great time
Back to back days let’s go!!!!
I’m surprised that Serbia survived this war and in the video because of the failed assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Bosnia, Austro-Hungarian Empire
His hairline changes like the tides
Can you soon do a video on European war 6 1914, its an enjoyable ww1 game for both pc and mobile
You inquired about WW1 games you haven't played before, I've had my eye on this one for a good bit and it's called "The Great War: Western Front". I think you might enjoy it.
Artillery only 10 year special
You should do Megacampaign with isp and bo.
We will finally know who is the best at hoi4.
I know nothing of this mod, but I would enjoy if the lack of supply is intended. With the reason no one can push, French or Austrian, is becuase no one has guns or artillery lol
Alright heres a challange. Play luxemburg on ironman hardest difficulty. Goals: take netherlands belgia france england and germany
Video pitch: use Chat GPT to ask for what nation to play, how to design devisions, which flank/nation to attack etc.
I like how Franz Ferdinand becomes the emperor whne Franz Joseph dies, instead of Karl I. It's nice attention to detail.
Kn isn't km/u but knots lol
Now that you live in Canada you have to stop flaming the french you never know when I'll cross your path...
For a game like hoi 4 try call of war it pretty good and it's set in ww2 the same company made a WW1 game too supremacy 1914
Toy Soldiers is a WW1 tower defense game, not sure if you've played that. If you're planning on getting the game get the Complete edition, which includes a German story mode instead of just British.
