Base Game Italy Is Ridiculously Overpowered (HOI4 Italy Rambler Guide)
ฝัง

- Today on the game known as Hearts of Iron 4 I'll be showing why I think Base Game Italy Is Ridiculously Overpowered. The HOI4 meme nation can actually be such a powerful support nation.

*Gigachad Italy*
yes
Yeeeeees!
vs expectations
Indeed
Based
if you send volunteers to spain, you can demand the balearic islands in exchange, which can be useful considering there's no other air base near
Do u need dlc for that
@@ItsZombieNGLnope
It was so lovely to see Alex being serious and actually trying instead of memeing. From time to time, we need such serious games
Indeed
Yeah
No when did someone take HOI4 seriously?
I am going to guess that the new focus tree is going to make Italy weaker.
Weaker but more fun probably
@Eeclyon
*Papal Roman Empire anexes europe*
The base game Italian focus tree is, in my opinion, the best one for newcomers since it's small and without many wacky alt-history paths. You can grasp easily how the focus trees work without too much information overload.
Yeah. There is a reason it’s the tutorial nation
@@nielsengrau1587 Which is likely why they never updated the tree
@@goldenhate6649 the new dlc is
Day 5 of waiting for alex to play national populist United baltic duchy to restore the german state in kaiserreich
23:51 I couldn't agree more
Shut up spammer
If Kaiserreich had achievements, that should be one!
@@lordbonney9779 If you have played it. It's worse than all the current hoi4 achievements in vanilla
Yes keep the campaign going! You can take out the world with a start like this!
Someone made a scam bot for a tiny TH-camr like Alex? Lol
@@Selvanus Indeed... That's pathetic
A tip, create a spy agency and create a collab government in Yogoslava to get some compliance up
I tried his tactics and only lost one destroyer throughout the war
YES pls continue its nice having this type of gameplay from u!
this man with 0 fuel most of the game still winning lol
Please, recreate the Roman Empire from this point. This would be glorious
Yea all he has to do to be number 1 in the world is annex his puppets France and Britain he would be so overpowered, the thing is it would take so long trust me.
"I'll surrender barbarossa" Now that's foreshadowing
14 seconds ago, ima edit this when im done watching, EDIT TIME!!!! I've never seen an Italy doing that good on hoi4, other than the ultra tech ais, oh and, "Italy starts off pretty powerful" Italian ai: yeahh let's just pretend that never happened. Keep up the great work, I love your videos.
Q ladaiaaa
Ok
Im waiting
@@barbaro2898 what u finna do with that pp
As Italy I like to take Ethiopia slow so I can get state serves the military for 35 exp. I use the extra political power to send an attache to Japan and leave him there for the entire war. It really helps your exp and if your airforce has been active in Spain and Asia you can start the war with maxed out variants of all of your planes.
One thing that I'm definitely going to miss from unreworked italy is the ability to swap ideologies freely
Basically, with most non focus tree nations, hungary, italy (and the warlords for some reason), and germany in the case of communism, you can appoint advisors freely, and go from fascist, to communist, to democratic, but now it's all done by focus, not decisions, you have to complete a focus to be able to get the advisor, then once you have 40% you take another focus, you switch ideology, that's it, you cant go any other ideology again. It really restricts what you can do in the game, and I really hate it.
You should get the toolpack mod it lets you give states cores and claims to any country it lets you change ideologies or lock it into one ideology you can add manpower or decrease it and tons of other stuff
I played a democratic italy with superheavy tank meta and i survived all 6 years of ww2 against the germans only for germany to declare on the soviet even though they had no troops on the border so i got nothing in peace deal
I don't know if it's too late to say, but I would like to see a world conquest as base-game Italy
People underestimate how strong free trade is, just having 1 or 2 resource rich puppets like turkey, yugoslavia or Romania can offset the resource defecits for 1 civilian factory each.
Unless you have a crazy industrial base always go free trade.
Do you keep free trade when war starts?
@@danabendu7294 I tend to, by then if I'm a large nation like Japan or Italy I'll usually have a large puppet like China or the aforementioned countries to supply most of my needs and I won't have to deal with resistance, in addition free trade gives away 80% of your own resources, meaning land you occupy has a lot less value.
Aslong as you're self sufficient it is worth it to keep, if it's hamstringing your industry then get rid of it, but usually a puppet can account for that.
Good format
This save is pretty strong now. If you want to continue it I'd love to see it but seeing you take other "weak" or "meme" nations and do this would be fun also. This was a really satisfying game to watch, especially the with the naval stuff.
ALEX LET IT ALL OUT ON MY FACE
Italy going for the Roman Empire thing makes them imo the strongest nation in the game. But it's tricky to get
Fully expected your navy to be completely destroyed when you sent all the aircraft carriers around to France when they weren't repaired
yea continue!
Italy has always done me well.
I like to go airpower and carriers with italy.
Curious about Poland and US, because he ticked historical
Continue!
Time to rebuild the Imperium Romanorum!
Nice
the pizza empire
The Channel Battle HURTS ME as a navy guy, he could have killed the whole Royal Navy
Alex" the aim of this isn't to do a world conquest..." also Alex conquers world....
Continue this^
Sick
Thank you for making my day today, Alex. Can’t wait to watch this tonight!
Me when i see the title: bruh stop trolling
It is pretty overpowered. I just recently formed Rome, then a Super EU (cores on all of the Roman Empire plus Germany), and it wasn't all that difficult. Challenging yes, but not hard.
“This is not a guide” has the word Guide in the title
puts on iron mode, procede to restart game not on iron mode
Had to remove the French guarantee somehow
@@Chaz16 The French guarantee is removed when they join the Allies
Got the same chair as Alex, very nice
How do you send disaster saves ? srry if i sound like an idiot i just don't know, do you send the files idk?
Judging by your thumbnail I bet you do good :)
continue 🙂
Please make a part 2 or something.
Where are the Balls-Comercials? #bringbacktheballs
Every game I play as US, Italy takes Cairo before I can even get in the war. Historically they failed in almost every campaign. The opposite is true in-game. The game just has too many advantages given to the Axis.
And yet when i play as Germany, italy gets steamrolled all the way from Ethiopia to libya lmao
Италия с упором на флот и авиацию
When you talk about AI and Italy in the same sentence, all i can think of is that time in a game i played where Italy did every other focus in its tree before triumph in Africa.
The AI is something truly awesome to behold
Damn. Ive played itsly a few times. My lack of oil always dooms me. Taking out romania is deffinitly something i must try
Spelling is also something you must try.
I laughded at this
Don't you make the front lines with the field marshal?
Based Italy
Small tip: if you puppet Ethiopia you can skip the "Triumph in Africa" focus, plus Ethiopia has a custom name if it's puppeted by Italy, it's called "Italian East Africa".
Because they were actually part of the newly created Italian East African colonial administration
Continue
CAS is Caesar
keep up the good videos alex❤
The idea that Italy is trash in hoi4 is at least historically accurate. They were an incompetent ally, toward the end they caused more harm than good.
Rommel praised the Italians for their bravery in Africa, but yeah Lions led by sheep doesnt do the Germans a favour
how many times did you use console commands
Amazing :)
You’ll do great Alex :)
Theres fishing he
The big, damaged fleet without split off and any repair enabled made me feel real uneasy ngl
Would love to see this continued!
When I do Italy, I invade Spain as soon as their civil war is over. They're rather weak at that point so it goes fast. Makes taking Gibraltar trivial. I then help Germany work through Northern Europe and eventually naval invade Scotland from Norway.
I take out France before mid 1937 and after UK with their ships help.
After that is just easy to win everyone else with Germany on your side.
Everytime I do Italy after i get claims on Yugoslavia I justify and declare war on Yugoslavia while the French guarantee is still active. I hold my border with a few cavalry divisions. I then land with 4 paratroopers on Dieppe because 3/5 they dont have anything there. Oh, and of course by that time i already joined the Axis. I send most of my army in there and push. Usually with this strat you can conquer yugoslavia, romania and France by 1938
True sigmas invade Germany after capitulating France
I justify on Greece invade them call Bulgaria to the then kick them from the faction so I can take them and Romania in the peace deal
I digged this, feel free to make more country playthroughs 👍
Wao, Alex has hit the big time, scambots have noticed him
Was expecting preview of the new DLC because who needs reading comprehension. But this was a pleasant surprise!
This reminds me of your 2017 format of videos - watched one recently and the no facecam + music is a neat experience.
No ram-dam-fam-cambler makes me sambler
i love alex
Invade Bulgaria and be the total Lord of balkans
I just can’t wait to see Alex being back the monarchy when By Blood Alone drops
HI Alex, are you ok? Why are you playing as Mussolini's boy?
Are you isorrowproductions?
"CAS is King...Especially once Socialism has been realized." Alessandro Rambolini.
I have done a very similar play through. Italy for WW2 feels way to strong.
Not really, it's only strong in a player who knows what they are doing hands but currently Britain and France are each stronger when done by a player of equal skill.
This should not be finished until the world is taken over! Even your allies.
Continue please!
3:49 disgusted that Italy has 4 research slots and France only has 3
Unfortunately, the French are French
Is this the newest update of the game?
Mine doesn't have a doctrine slot anymore, it goes through the commander's panel
Is soft attack better with small pp? LOL!
More please
What? Italy? How non-historical! Great video as always. Also, hi Matt.
Jesus Christ I was not prepared for the majesty of that thumbnail
Why Germany didn't declare on Poland? Also dutch east indies became fascist for some reason
Meanwhile my Italy game yesterday results in me destroying the british in the med and North Africa within a year. Then I look up to France, and Germany is at 1.2 million casualties stuck in the Benelux cycle charging into fortified lines having lost their entire airforce...
Yeah that happens to me too. Whenever Italy does well, Germany goes poo poo
U should’ve shown in this video thay Italy can get fighter 2s In 37
yes
I can't wait to play with the new focus tree
Somehow you avoided having the Brits jump in when you declared war on Yugo - that certainly helped. I guess you squeaked in on that one early enough and Germany paid the world tension penalty. Well done. You might make me a believer in carriers..
Take realize Roman ambitions and Form the Imperium Romanum please 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Turn this into a world conquest! It’s still only Jan 1941
Me and my brother are about to do a Germany + Italy game with the naval rework mod, this video came out at the right time, love ur vids keep up the good work
You're not dobe till you're mousilini with leaves on your head
"That's gotta be the best Focus Tree I've ever seen..."
So it would seem
What does base game mean? No dlc?
Without mods I think
Love the extra confidence you show when you don't use face cam, you probably feel quite a lot of pressure from thousands of people watching you. I struggle in class presentations, which is only in front a couple dozen of people.
The fact that irl Italy didn't just invade the Allies in '36 just goes to show how incompetent we were at the time.
no, it's called HINDSIGHT
Irl italy itself was in a pretty bad place lol, tbe best time to invade would be '43 or '44
Italy is my fav on vanilla hoi4. The small tree feels kind of freeing actually nothing i gated behind a year of focuses its kind of nice
This poped in my feed today, i was like "this will be fun to watch"
A cóntinuation of this would be interesting to see! I enjoyed this a lot, even made me think of doing my own run there.
