@frozenfeet4534 glad to hear it helped you! I hadn't received much feedback on it yet, and since it's in the description I think a lot of people don't look into it. I don't do those for every vid, but for this one i felt it was warranted since it's quite complex!

I imagine that this challenge would be a lot harder for Hatless if you actually couldn't name your faction "Your Faction Name Here"

@hatless_spider

If I can't name my faction in less than a second, I would get massively nerfed Less content and less theorycrafting. Not to mention, "your faction name here" is the most powerful name for a faction anyways. It exerts dominance

Hey hatless great video, how do you find most of these exploits do you go looking for them specifically or do you just happen upon them whilst playing?

@hatless_spider

Жыл бұрын

It depends. A lot of times I find tgem while trying to achieve something specific. In this case I needed manpower as luxembourg and there are very few ways to get it as a democracy

so the strategy is to be basically a parasite and cannibalise your allies for manpower, lol

Near the beginning, wouldn’t it be better to have one larger unit? I thought that anything below 15 combat width suffered a penalty

1 unit double the size could probably work. I felt this size was good though for allowing a push into Saarbrucken faster

Luxembourg casually making other nations believe it's their friend while stabbing them in the back to get their manpower is funny and concerning at the same time long live the great luxembourgeois empire

I tried communist Luxembourg with weekly manpower buff, but Germans easily beat me, I had level 10 fort, level 5 anti-air and max entrenchment bonuses, I guess its because I was encircled

If you do the coup in British Raj, I haven't found a way to get them as well. Even with a guarantee of the Phillipines. It might still be doable, but would be difficult for sure. Indian manpower can replace them though, and then you can use your own templates which are better than what USA would create

Edit: just found out it's the famine Why is the stability of India so low that you can start the coup with them being at peace? I've tried it multiple times now and they never drop below 50%
