Sorry to hear about your week, thanks for still making content man

Thank you so much for making this video, Bittersteel. I've been bashing my head against this achievement RNG for waaaaay too long. Keep up the great work!

Hey Bitt3r, sorry to hear about your week, I can relate. Hope you get to feeling better!

I watched through all your old Austro-Hungary videos (including the BfB 2021 version, the Austria version, and even the Croatian version). Finally, I finished this one... so a big BRAVO first for ending that disgusting war. I would've probably smashed keyboards long before I could finish... I will take on the Axis before the Allies when I try it later because Order 66 might be more worthwhile for the UK and France. There is still the USA, the Soviets, and the Japanese left. If you can make a new guide to this formable in the future, that would be great, as updates can change things quite rapidly :)

For Demand Referendum, there's a 20% chance they refuse to hold the referendum outright, but if they do hold it and you've Reintegrated the Railroads and their opinion of you is over 75%, you have a 95% chance of success. So cumulatively, it's actually only a 76% chance of success (80% chance they hold the referendum and 95% chance the referendum passes).

Instead of having my back, France attacked me and brought in the UK and other allies to defend Romania! FML

I feel it's worth mentioning that In my run I tried timing my focus tree perfectly with Germany, which resulted in Czechoslovakia refusing German demands, war starts between them only for Czechoslovakia to immediately join Austria-Hungary, rendering the war null, and Germany unable to declare war through the focus because it's technically already happened.

For anyone who doesn't have La Resistance and/or doesn't like to use the spy mechanics, I'm just gonna copy-paste the guide I wrote on the previous A-H video here. It's how I got the achievement. I have no idea if this'll work in By Blood Alone, but here goes: Rush to the 'Demand A Referendum' focus. Before taking it, reintegrate the railroads and improve relations to the max (I think they need to be above 75 to impact the AI's decision) with Austria before the referendum focus finishes. The majority of the time, they will accept, though not always. If they don't, it's a restart. After they accept, do the restoration of A-H focus, and then continue doing the industrial focuses up until the first extra research slot. To see Germany's focuses without spies, you will need to turn fascist and join the Axis. So the political power spending should look something like this: First 150 PP goes to the Silent Workhorse, second 150 PP goes to the Fascist Demagogue. Then switch to Free Trade (in the future you'll need Limited Exports for resources, but for now the bonuses are nice), followed by hiring the Captain of Industry advisor (since I recommend building civs until you get rid of the Treaty of Trianon). After that fill out the military cabinet, including the chief of airforce (pick all the dudes that give army XP, and for the airforce pick the guy that buffs aIr superiority). Don't hire a navy guy, it's pointless. Do not spend any PP on decisions about flipping to fascism yet. At this point your fascism support will probably be close to 50% (or even above it), since the 'Fascist Assault Divisions' event will most likely have happened by now. If not, it will soon, unless you're really really unlucky. But there is no rush to switch yet. Spend the next 100 PP on 'Improved Worker Conditions', and only then start spending PP on switching ideologies. 'Open Up Political Discourse' will take 75 PP, and the referendum 100. You will lose the good monarchist national spirits, but it's a necessary evil. Once you flip, join the Axis. If you follow this timetable, you should be flipping to fascism when you're in the middle of doing the first extra research slot focus. After it finishes, it's time to spend 70 days without doing any focus, in order to get yourself 10 days ahead of Germany in focus time. I have never, not once, seen the Germans do 'Demand Sudetenland' early enough to warrant waiting these 70 days before taking the research slot. From now on, before taking any focus, watch what Germany's doing. If they're not demanding Sudetenland, work towards the Bled Agreement (I always make sure to save some PP for changing economy laws and such, before these rearmament focuses finish). I prefer taking 'Theoretical Air Efforts' instead of 'War Games', though you'll end up doing both eventually. If they demand Sudetenland, do 'Protect Czechoslovakia'. You are 10 days ahead so you'll finish earlier and the Czechs will almost always accept. I have had them become a puppet twice. If that happens, restart. Germany will demand your Sudetenland. Say no. You are in the Axis, they can't declare, and they won't kick you out. After annexing the Czechs (and doing the Bled Agreement), claim Transylvania. If the Germans do the Second Vienna Award and block your focus, return Northern Transylvania to Romania and you'll be able to do it. Pick Germany for your mediator. The majority of the time I've had Romania give me all of Transylvania (despite what Bitt3r says in this video). Getting Northern Transylvania is also fine, though beating Romania afterwards will be harder. The outcome where you go to war with them and the Allies warrants a restart. Then do 'March to the Shore'. In the meantime, it might not be a bad idea to take advantage of the 'Reorganize the Railway System' decision to fix the supply situation in Transylvania. Once the focus finishes, justify on Yugoslavia (retake core state). Declare immediately. Romania will be pulled in due to their guarantee. The war should be easy to win. You don't need to train any troops, the ones you get from annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia, as well as your starting troops, are enough. Just make sure to switch them to a good infantry template. I use 9/1, with engineers, support artillery, support anti-air and logistics. You should have 2 full armies and some extra (usually 3) divisions. Use one army to hold the line against Yugoslavia, and the rest to capitulate Romania. Then use everyone on Yugoslavia. Your airforce (fighters and CAS only) should be enough to get you air superiority (first over Romania, then over Yugoslavia). You can use paratroopers to make the war easier, if you want. I usually train 1 full army of 2-width paratroopers, and use them only for Romania. Can't be bothered to use them for Yugoslavia. You will obviously need to increase conscription laws and such. Limited Conscription should be enough for now. In the peace deal, annex only your core states (to be able to click the decision to reintegrate the empire) and make a wall of puppets with the rest, so that you won't have to bother with an Albanian-Greek-Bulgarian front later. After that do what Bitt3r did and kill the Allies. The following peace deal will probably be incomprehensibly retarded. I've had runs where with 15% participation I can get good land in the Dutch East Indies and the Raj for resources, and puppet Britain. And I've had runs where with 20% participation I got nothing. Literally nothing. All I could do was press 'Done'. For production, you'll need trains, trucks, guns, support equipment, artillery, anti-air, fighters, CAS and transport planes. If you plan to use tanks (which I recommend), you should leave 1 factory on Great War tanks, which will later be switched to light tanks, in order to be able to add the armored recon company as a support company to your eventual medium tank division template. Once you've researched medium tanks, switch the light tank production line to them, and re-add a light tank production line with just 1 factory, as before. I use a 42 width template for the mediums, with the same support companies as the infantry, plus the armored recon for the speed. The proportion of tanks to motorized will depend on the doctrine you pick. With Mobile Warfare you can get away with having just 4(!) motorized in your template and still be above 30 org (with 5 support companies). With 25 (eventually) factories on mediums and 3 on trucks (starting early on), I can get 8 of these divs out by March 1942 (which is around when I attack the Axis), and have more than enough trucks in reserve to motorize logistics. One factory is enough for trains. You won't need much more than 5 for guns, since you get a lot of them from annexations. Five is also enough for anti-air. Support equipment will need a few more, and artillery a few more yet. One factory on transport planes, starting from early in the game, will be enough to cover the paradrop needs. After that I delete the line, and the paratroopers. For the planes: Fighters eventually get 40 factories on them, and CAS 25. Extremely important that you get Fighter 3s and CAS 3s at least in 1941 (through the focus tree), and use a designer company for the fighters. Go for Strategic Destruction as your air doctrine, for all the buffs to air superiority mission efficiency and the agility buff for fighters. Battlefield Support is better if you can guarantee air superiority, as it buffs your CAS, but against the Germans I find that in order to achieve green air, I need all the buffs I can get for my fighters. After building all the mils you need, start building synthetics, and take advantage of the focus tree to get all the rubber techs. I don't think the oil ones are necessary. You have a puppet Romania and the middle east to trade with. You'll probably start the war with the Axis with a rubber deficit, but eventually you will get enough synthetics to take care of it, especially with all the techs. Your fighters should have priority in the production queue anyway, so it's mostly CAS production that will suffer in the beginning. That's fine. Fighters are what will destroy the enemy airforce. As for how many infantry divisions you'll need, I find that one army group is enough for the German border, and then around 2,5-3 armies are enough for the rest (initial Italian front + port guards). The fact that your puppets constantly make troops for you, and the fact that you can request control of their forces, will help. If you don't have La Resistance, Vichy France will be an active participant, but it's fine. If you push up to the Alps, you can hold there indefinitely, with around 36 divisions. Once Italy had fallen, the AI let me get green air over the alpine region with just 100 fighters and 100 CAS. Ironically, the biggest RNG factor here is how early the Germans will attack the Soviets. In my games, they always attack super early, so by March 1942 they are near the Urals and the Soviets are almost capitulated. Remember to leave the Axis when the war goal that the Germans have on you expires. I think it helps the Soviets a bit. When you decide to attack the Axis, justify on Italy to retake core states. It will take 15 days and Italy will be almost wide open. Knock them out first (I find I don't need a naval invasion), then cut Germany in half like Bitt3r did and make encirclements. With enough destroyed German divisions you'll eventually win. Take what you need in the peace deal. If the Soviets take something you need, don't worry, they are useless trash. Declare and kill them.

Hope your week ends up being better. Great video and guide.

In my playthrough, I had a non aggression pact with Germany instead of exploiting the event. But while reclaiming my cores by attacking Italy, they joined axis and suddenly Germany entered the war as well. Somehow, I managed to encircle the whole Germany, and I mean the *WHOLE* of Germany from Munich to hanover and slowly destroyed them, it was a ton of fun

had an idea for a challenge that probably couldnt be done. when Britain down the path to reform the empire, they always justify on Ireland. so the challenge is to play as Ireland and defend the beloved Eire from the Brits conquest

In my recent run I realized you could get war economy and extensive conscription if Austria refuses the referendum. All you need is one round of war propaganda and enough pp. Makes your economy snowball way harder and you skip a couple focuses. Definitely worth rerolling the run to have them refuse.

@Kandall05161

Жыл бұрын

If your aim is to have them refuse...just do the 'Take Austria by Force' focus instead. I don't believe you get any benefit by asking them nicely first, since you manually declare either way even the world tension is identical both ways. No reason to restart runs over and over asking them until they say no when you can just start the war yourself 100% of the time. It's also worth considering that the free divisions and generals from Austria accepting the referendum are likely to be far more useful to you than early war eco will be, considering the size of your industrial base pre-czechoslovakia vs. the constant manpower issues this run suffers. And once you get Czechoslovakia, you're only about 100 days away from declaring on Romania and/or Yugo anyways so you can still get your war eco and extensive conscription pretty soon after you have a real industry anyways. Using Austria for War eco is a good backup plan if you get the 1/20 no and you *really* don't want to restart though, you probably wind up close enough strength-wise to continue the game as normal if you get the full annex on the Czechs after. If they say no *and* you get the puppet though the run is definitely dead, you'll never catch up to even Italy economically (let alone Germany or the UK).

The Czech strategy still works but pushing WT above 20 means that Yugoslavia will always pick up a guarantee from France before the justification finishes.

After this, with historical focuses on, they will always go for Demand Sudetenland next.

I love your videos . keep it up ❤️

I literally just checked on your channel and 2 minutes later a new vid pops up 😅 lol

Pro tip: if you take Austria by force your can near-instantly win by para dropping on the victory points. It also removes the treaty of Trianon spirit since you’re at war. Edit: use no garrison on Austria, it’ll be fine.

I declared war on romania through the event and didn't even notice the game telling me that romania joined the axis and called Germany in. I literally had no idea, as I was looking at the focus tree and the whole german army was halfway to Prauge. Then I got full annexed. GG

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I needed this

Annexing the recipient of a land demand before they can reply! I used the same trick to keep Hatay from Turkey while playing as Syria in a civil war where it was the last victory point of the other Syria.

I just want to vent my frustrations, after like 5 attempts I finally got Czechoslovakia to be all mine. Then when it came down to Romania, I got absolutely nothing. I decided to go to war with them, well Germany got called in to help them so I got capped pretty quick. All my troops were on the boarder of Yugoslavia and Romania. Oh well maybe next time. Thanks for the videos by the way, I enjoy them.

I broke my game by making France my mediator and they somehow declared war on Romania. Hilarity ensued :D

This was the funnest achievement I've done. I basically was the German Empire's best friend until we beat the Allies (I was lucky enough for the US not joining). After grabbing the land I could, I betrayed Germany and took the last of the land I needed for the achievement.

Lol just finished this but I never would have thought to just delay clicking through the Sudetenland banner to cheese Germany. Just forced them to a NAP using spies.

If someone doesn't have la resistance dlc make sure to spam 2 width cavalry divisions to increase the chance of czechoslovakia being annexed.

That has 0 effect on whether they choose to be annexed.

What did you mean by '' unfortunately the Austro-Hungarian Empire no longer exists"!!??

I've tried it countless times. You got me excited enough to try again. Twice. First time Austrians were allowed the referendum but refused to join. The second time Germans didnt have enough manpower to actually demand sudetenland and declared war on ussr instead, allies throwing guarantees everywhere.. Not again. Not ever again.

Hey Bitt3Steel, you ever thought of doing Kaiserreich content? I'm sure your plate will be full when BBA comes out, but I'd love to see it

Man i was just about to start a new austria-hungary game, good timing I guess!

BTW when the war button breaks just exit the game and re load it and it works

This campaign was a series of clever schenanigans.

Either somebody is lying about percentages or I'm the unluckiest person in the world. Just attempted 3 times got Austrian refusal twice and, on the time, they accepted the Czechs refused -____-

The math is what it is. I pulled those numbers straight from the code. But some people just have no luck

one way I like to do it without using spys it by going historical and counting the focus number instead when jumping it when I know it will happen.

you are the best and thank you so much!

Relatable way to chill and have fun

Love your channel!!!

Sometimes spy network isnt high enough for some reason. In my first run all my agents had seducer trait, got the bonuses etc. but it was below 80%. On 2nd try it was, although one agents does'nt have the seducer trait, 83%. If its below 80%, it helps to crack german Code, so u see at least for 30 days what they are up to.

you gotta do that economic infiltration

Tip: take Austria by force to get rid of the debuff and go up on the conscription law. Fight them in your territory, use planes and basic infantry to encircle and them overrun them.

Don’t you need Syria too tho?

So perfect timing im trying it but always fail and your old guys dont work with me xD thank i

Hey Bitt3rSteel, I've been a fan for a while and have loved watching your vids. I have been wondering one thing though, what's the name of the music that you use at the start of your videos?

Out of curiosity, does trading for steel with the Czechs (which can provide a decent amount of positive relations) improve the odds of them getting annexed? I am not too familiar with what influences decisions.

from what the focus says, they will be more likely to accept if they have better relations with you. Usually I can get it up to +15 but I'd assume the rng gets better the more you get

I just had the exact amount of money to buy this dlc let’s goooo!

man i tried this and not only did Yugislavia hold their own and do encircle tacts ON ME, Romania wiped the floor with me. I had 3 full armies and i got wiped so fast.

I did everything like you, but germany declares war on me because they count it as a refuse of the sudetenland crisis. I waited till 2am but it still dont work

11:52 "We're a nice white color" Damn Bitter, you're actin up.

If you restart the game the war button works again

Bitt3rSteel please emphasise on the 'o' in Sofia. Thank you and keep up with the fun videos😁

oh my god. thank you for this. that is my second of my list of my last 3 very hard hard achievements i have to do. that this achievement is pain was in my mind, after i heared you need palastine and xD

love your pronounciation of german words, cuz while it aint wrong, it is deffinitely unique

hey bitt3rsteel, I saw alot of people including you not stacking the planes but seperathing them into 100 each,is there a spesific reason for that or?

after i took checkia germany still wanted the sudetenland from me
