Wouldn't it have been easier to just leave the Portugal faction instead of taking over? Thus they still remain faction leader, preventing them from joining other faction and I think it would be faster as well

Yes, but the problem is we are both fighting a war together in a faction at that point, so I can't simply leave without taking over the faction. Good question though!

Oh I'm a dummy, I see what you are saying now! Yeah I could have simply left their faction then justified on them, absolutely!! Definitely do this instead, good advice!

Unite the crowns focus is such a reverse uno card.

Especially when you are doing Unite the Crowns and then on top of that doing Claim the French Throne with the Carlists 😍

What a crazy strategy. Non-historical focuses make this an even bigger mess.

This is quite possibly the craziest game of HOI4 I've ever seen

What a rollercoaster. Absolute madness. Absolute Brilliance!

I only came across this now as I've done my first run as Carlist Spain now and I'm super impressed by your videos on this matter. Had a lot of fun watching it and I'm going to try it out soon 😄

Amazing. Finally someone has done it. Thank you

Mate, this videos are great, thank you

crazy video, thanks for making it :)

@hatlessspider Here is an idea for how to make your one king four crowns into one king nine crowns. (or even 10 crowns) After you complete one king four crowns, you want to have the UK former dominions free and democratic and in the allies while you actually *annex* the UK. (so you should not engage the dominions at this point at all. However, satelliting or puppeting British Malaya is fine) It is imperative to either release Germany as independent (and fascist) or never cap it at all at this point. Now, go to just the new leader of the allies, and engage none of the other dominions. The leader is probably Canada or Australia, so you cap the leader, say Canada. If you do not engage the others, you should be able to have a peace deal with just Canada. Now, you puppet Canada, and call it into the war with the others. Then capitulate the others and give their territory to just Canada. (You can even fight the US and give its territory to Canada too so you can form the Dominion of North America as the UK later) At this point, Canada will probably struggle a bit but manage to hold the others for a bit. You want Canada to be independent now. Either allow it to break free by taking a lot of lend lease from it or just change government and ally it instead of puppetting in the first place Now, delete all your units, justify on Germany and release the UK. As the UK, you want to take down the dominions and go for the Imperial Federation. But the dominions have already been owned by just Canada, so you only need to fight Canada on its own. Take the other dominions from it and form the imperial federation. (If your Canada owns the US, this is the best time to turn it into the dominion of north america) In the meantime, ally the original Four Crown entity and allow it to capitulate to the Germans so you can make the Franco-British union. Now, with the combined cores of all of the dominions, you have the crowns of: - France - Portugal - Spain - Brazil - Canada - Australia - New Zealand - South Africa - India - the US and of course - the UK (you can even stretch it and add 3 crowns to your title by annexing the UK as it's already Northern Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland, so you'd have 13 crowns!)

it says on the wiki i think it was that you lose those cores on france after the war is over.

if you did this i think it would not be 10-13 because none of those dominions have individual monarchies. you could maybe make a case for scotland but i think the only dominion that really you can count is in british malaya, brunei with the sultan of brunei

Nice! This was definitely a very interesting way to play the game and really unique strategies. I can see why it took so long to figure all this out. Small request on future videos though. Could you slightly increase the volume? I really have to crank up the volume on my tv to properly hear everything. I have noticed the same issue un your earlier videos too. Other than that, a great video :)

You could potentially pull something like that off with france capitulating to get the franco-british union, but I'm guessing it would have to be done in multiplayer

Well just for added challenge 😄 And to hopefully keep the allies from getting a nice peace deal

Could you in theory just start as France and set the AI to go for the carlist and Porto-Brazilian kingdoms if you don’t care about achievements? Basically skip the first step of playing as Spain for the civil war?

Yep! Although I'm not sure how well the AI manages all that even if you do set them on the right paths haha

theres probably some way you could mess with it to have mozambique and angola because portugal can do that at any time as long as they arent fascist and they dont go down the mutually exclusive colonial path

So you get all the french and portuguese cores as spain
