Thank you so much for these tutorials, its exactly what I was looking for. Owned this game for years and been too intimidated to play it. Its so helpful playing along and having you talk through some reasoning for making choices. It was so beautiful this episode choosing all those doctrines at once and starting to see the plan finally come together.
Hi everyone. My game had the SCW start half Juli 1936 and it went rather quick. I had to interfere a few times but no divisions were lost. I did micromanage a bit to prevent being enclosed and once the front lines were more or less a straight line I let Rommel go free. Now by the time of your current video my 3 panzer divisions arrived at Settin, with Rommel still underway (I think he secretly takes some R&R). I was glad with your comment about not to worrying too much about the new recruits fully trained - you got them one a time, I got them by the fives or sixes at a time.
Definitely want to do this once I complete this series. I've been giving it some thought, and what the best way of going about it would be. At this moment, there are 9 "proper" DLC available for HOI4, which means over 500 possible game adjusting combinations of HOI4 DLC exist (this will increase to over 1,000 combinations when the next DLC drops.) How best to cater for such a situation? The best idea I came up with was to pick my favourite DLC, and then play the game with these enabled, at the expense of all others. I realise this could open a can of worms, because then there's the "can't you include this one as well?" or the "I don't have that DLC, and my screen looks different" etcetc. The easy option then, is simply to include all HOI4 DLC, but I open myself up to "you're just pushing products" and truth be told - I'm not a fan of all the DLC options, so that brings me back round to the idea I floated, of picking my favourite DLC - which I think happen to coincide with the highest rated DLC on the steam store. Do let me know what you think on that - and if you think having an UNBIASED episode dedicated to a review the various individual DLC's would be something that might be interesting? I realise these products all get reviewed at release, although most of the bigger channels get sponsored in someway, which can influence things - this is something that I've brushed up against. Considering all the DLC now available for HOI4, I do wonder if Paradox will turn HOI4 into HOI - full stop, much like other games funded by DLC (such as DCS World) where the game itself is constantly updated "for free" and the way the game Dev's are funded, is via ever more DLC options / subscriptions. It means releasing a HOI5 is going to be very difficult to do, unless they incorporate the existing DLC into that. I realise I'm going off topic somewhat here, so i'll leave it there - thanks again for your support.
@@gameswithbrains I love the idea of you picking your favorite DLC! It is YOUR channel so you should do what you love! With regards to reviewing the DLCs themselves, at least from my experience and perspective, I don't tend to waste a lot of time with those types of videos. I do watch the official trailer releases, but nothing else, really. I own ALL the DLC (own, not the expansion) so I don't really need to determine which ones to purchase. I would say, to save having to make a whole video about it, folks should just purchase the Expansion Subscription and for a small amount, they can decide on their own.
@@gameswithbrains I'd love to see you pick your favorite DLC, along with an explanation of why this one and not others DLCs, I got all DLCs on a package sale.
@@gameswithbrains A couple ways of doing this that I think would be most helpful to me, individual videos covering features from one DLC at a time for each DLC. Probably not a whole playthrough just teaching the elements of the DLC. A playthrough with all DLC enabled, commentary included with why you like or dislike certain aspects leading you to keep or not keep certain DLC enabled. A playthrough with only a few DLCs is my least favorite way you could do it, but I'd probably still watch it.
Trying to work through this series as a complete noob. Difference being: I have all the DLCs activated... 😀 One question: Why is there a red sign at the top of the new formed Army? It says something like: "It will stop training automatically when finished with training." The other armys are already "finished" but don't have that symbol...
I think you forgot that you had a national focus on air which should decrease the air doctrine by 50 or so percent. i would have waited to by the doctrine.
"für die Katz'!" - Hehe, that one made me smile. :) Great tutorial series by the way. I am going through them all one by one. Thank you!

Ready to go kick some asses with you pretty soon, see ya for p13 :)

Ah so there is a female player here
I am greatly enjoying your videos. They are SO helpful!! Do you have any plans to do DLC tutorial videos in a similar manner?

Great job on these, thank you.

When is the next one coming out? I've always wanted to learn HOI4. Now I'm obsessed!
I think you forgot that you had a national focus on air which should decrease the air doctrine by 50 or so percent. i would have waited to by the doctrine.
I play it at the difficulty setting 1 higher than the lowest, so i am always low on political power.
My panzers in Spain can never get experience, they keep getting wiped out, am I doing something wrong
Not von but fon! This word is considered a title of nobility and is pronounced with "f".
Thank you for that tidbit. I usually suck at getting words right, but I might just be able to remember this one. Cheers!
+1 off to the next
I have ruined the 100% male viewers hejejehej
the more the merrier! 👍
Yay im rare lol
Women who play HoI4 are like women who run linux. We all know each other and we make fun of the rest of you
