The special thing here is at 1:02 when Bo quietly zooms in on Kwanchowan, as if noting that Golden could take it instead of Dalian, and then quietly zooms out without ever saying anything.
Reminds me of the stories of British and Portuguese battalions in WW1 accidentally overperforming as the rest of the front stalled and finding themselves encircled behind enemy lines by just advancing too fast and overperforming.
@@OnlyGrafting It's sadly a problem as old as time. The funniest one is I think in Crassus' battle where he was killed in Parthia? But one cohort of legionaires pushed out and chased fleeing enemies but ended up in a village and were drinking and claiming victory lmao
@@TheSkyGuy77 no no, the politics sistem in hoi is nothing compared to Vic, but the politics of these guys dealing with each other in vic are 12 times worst than in the hoi vídeos
I love how Russia legit be like: France I need monies France: Fine as long as you keep Fighting France: gives 10 million dollars Russia:o thanks buddy I got to head out now.
These videos are so much fun to watch, like I have no idea what's going on in this game but its fun to just watch these guys crack terrible jokes and scream at each other.
I like how Bokoen is like "Here baby have your factories, do you want a smoochie too? Here, here *Kiss* Now go ahead and fight the russians with me" with the Ottomans, such a good aliance
Unfortunately when the peasants start reading they learn about some German and his manifesto and it's downhill from there. It's always some German writing documents and being a general shit stirrer.
We have come full circle.. from Braun’s units retreating the wrong way to Bo’s units retreating the wrong way. I am glad to see Thomas and Slapper getting speaking roles.
Colonialism was very much a club for all of history. If you weren't in the club suddenly people started caring about "the balance of power" and "human rights," while sweeping everything that France and Spain did under the rug. I don't include the UK in that because people never shut up about their colonial kerfuffles. Despite the fact that the majority of the former colonies willingly joined the Commonwealth including India.
Swimmy was actually playing to "historical accuracy" just like 20 years to early. The Greeks beat Italy's booty in WW2 and Germany had to come to save em. that's totally why Swimmy needed saving, not that he is just incompetant at times.
Intro card: Italy fails and has to be bailed out. Me: Oh boy, who is it? Let me guess. It's Swimmy. Swimmy at 0:49 : Wait a minute. Ottoman Treaty port, eh? Me: Figures.
Still not the most embarrassing L I've seen Italy take in a paradox multilayer game. I remember playing HOI IV competetive MP with me and one of my friends where we were given the lowly countries of New Zealand and South Africa. SOMEHOW my 4 mechanised New Zealanders supported by Bob Semples, and his 4 HT divisions not only cut off and defeated both Italy and Germany in North Africa, but then taking advantage of that hit, landed on Sicily, naval invaded around his defence on the toe of Italy, and Italy capitulated to New Zealand, basically taking Italy out of the game not just with 8 divisions, but without the Allied HC even realising since the whole thing happened so fast. The guy playing Germany pretty much ragequit at that point, and long story short, the Italy player lost WW2 to the crappiest members of the Allies.
I feel like all of you assume the Greeks had better army pr were stronger but they weren’t Italy got defeated by himself. Mussolini sent politicians to lead armies against actual generals the irony is that Italy had good generals but they were almost never deployed. The only time was in Russia with an under equipped division that performed the last successful cavalry charge in history
It’s not the fascists weren’t there so the monarchists were still completely in charge without the Mussolini Fascio-monarchist regime. In a war Greece vs Italy at those time Greece would have been anhilated
*You have received a new offer Bo* If Victoria 3 will be announced on PDX CON you will play whole STAR WARS : EMPIRE AT WAR CAMPAIGN And if they don't announce it i will stop asking you to play Star Wars :Empire at War
I don't get this meme, why are people asking if it's the wrong thumbnail?

I forgot about the new hoi 4 update it looks sick

10:11 “Now that I’ve finally built an empire, it’s not cool all of a sudden?” - Italy 1936
Fact Checked
Also Japan
Italy got hit like in real life "now that i finally have an empire they're not cool anymore"
Also had problems with fighting Greeks, just like real life
1:20 I love that the spark for this game's World War 1 is happening in 1853, its like if the Crimean War escalated.
The special thing here is at 1:02 when Bo quietly zooms in on Kwanchowan, as if noting that Golden could take it instead of Dalian, and then quietly zooms out without ever saying anything.
You can even hear Golden literally halfway through naming the port until Braun starts threatening him over Dalian.
"We have lost the battle kameradens! What do we do!?"
"RETREAT INTO THEIR LINES!"

Vic is one of those games I've never touched but I love it every time you guys play it. Don't even know why.
The politics are much more stupid than hoi, less war, less braincells
@@Tsuruchi_420
Politics is better in vicky 2, wtf
Maybe because the politics in vicky 2 somehow actually reflect how petty and imperialistic countries were at the time and it's just funny

@@Tsuruchi_420 Because HOI4 is set up to last until 1948 in that game While Vic to covers like a 100 years in comparasine.
We have a brand new golden quote to use "You're pissed? Yeah you're pissed."
And the "mental domination"
Can we just appreciate Bo making the “Holy Danish Empire”
ISP is the best mod-creator ever, confirmed?
No
does anyone know how can i get the mod that allows me to do that?
Haha nope
As mush as I love it, it really should be "hellige danske rige" or "dansk-romerske rige" not imperium
after i saw the title i knew either golden or swimmy was going to be italy
Its vicky 2 so its bound to be swimmy.
@@redrat123321 true, swimmy says and does the dumbest shit, but sometimes it works really well.

6:42 "They went to the land of opportunity and then they just became poor" Sounds like what America was like during the late 1800s ngl
Yeah
No not really
That is historically accurate
@@kingzahhak911 as a historian, yes really
The 1850s-1920s in America is actually the period of greatest average income gain among any citizens anywhere in world history
We have come full circle.. from Braun’s units retreating the wrong way to Bo’s units retreating the wrong way.
I am glad to see Thomas and Slapper getting speaking roles.
Bo finally put them in the script
Someday Braun will learn that influencing something you have 100 in reduces everyone else's influence, keeping them stuck at 0. Someday...
Wow, 13 years and I never knew that... Thanks!
Ah yes, Swimmy back at it again with the historical roleplay.
Swimmy is the human incarnation of late stage Austro-Hungarian leadership
Swimmy only does it to make the gamr accurate
Prussia's country ball got a upgrade?! It looks great!
FINALLY. Never made sense why they didn’t upgrade it sooner given how often they play as Prussia
@@Vraptor1 They've had this upgrade for a while though? Like im pretty sure they've had the upgraded Prussiaball since 2020
“Now that I’ve finally built an empire, now they’re not cool all of a sudden?”
Literally the irl Italians in the 1950s

Okay but can we talk about those custom loading screens for a hot moment?
"please don't add a picture of me" lmfao
Russia, and losing their shit and ranting about how they're actually fine because they got reforms, truly the iconic duo
As if I heard myself playing Russia in EU4...
4:35 killed me in so many ways
Swimmy has had mad Mussolini vibes for the last couple of months but this time he literally unironically did just larp as Mussolini
I legitimately didn't notice the "Victoria" part until I heard the title card music
me too
I was confused by "The Ottomans", I didn't even notice the title music
me too lmao
swimmies a gem, a dim, dirty, smothered yet lovable gem that always makes you smile
"Alright so now that I've finally built an empire they're suddenly not cool all of a sudden?"
-Germany IRL
Swimmy was actually playing to "historical accuracy" just like 20 years to early. The Greeks beat Italy's booty in WW2 and Germany had to come to save em. that's totally why Swimmy needed saving, not that he is just incompetant at times.
"they went to the land of opportunity and just became poor"
more historically accurate than you think
I honestly don't know how Swimmy does it. It's incredible, consistent, and mind-blowing.
What if Italy lost to Greece:
Oh so real life?
VICY THREE IS ANNOUNCED LETS FUCKING GOOOO
“You gave me peasant reforms” is the new “I honestly think it was worth it”
When you LARP so hard you do it several decades before it actually happened IRL
"The Italians also tried creating an empire, but failed miserably"
I'm SO surprised...said no one ever
The Venetians want a word with you :D
"Italy failed to take Greece"
It HAS to be Swimmy.
0:22 Mia Malkova on the set be like:
Such a shame we couldn't witness the glorious Greek campaign against the italians
i love how golden is always the ottomans fits him so well
Intro card: Italy fails and has to be bailed out.
Me: Oh boy, who is it? Let me guess. It's Swimmy.
Swimmy at 0:49 : Wait a minute. Ottoman Treaty port, eh?
Me: Figures.
It's just becoming a tradition now that everything in the title is something Swimmy does
man, braun has gone full circle, from mega sperg to semi-reasonable person back to mega sperg

40.000 Bob Semples is a quality all of its own
Swimmy's commitment to LARPing is impressive. He even got his a** kicked by the Greeks as Italy to stay in character, abd got bailed out by his ally.
I like how Braun goes from Russian to German to American in that order before his anger eventually destroys itself.
France: how do we get past this locked door?
Russia: give me your credit card
Russia: Thanks, Germany kick the door down
I'm gonna be honest, I love these victoria 2 games where everyone argues like the historical world powers did.

Wonder why I always come back to these kids screaming at each other playing games... absolutely love it.
''OK, so now I have built an empire and now they're not cool all of a sudden.''
