So many People thankful for a video that finally breaks HOI4 down and *explains the core parts* of it properly. Go watch your half hour complete guide if you prefer, and I'll see you back here in 35 minutes! (when you realise like many others before you, it can't be done - no shame in trying though - I did too!) I have begun to add chapters for the first hour (I'll continue to add more in the coming days). If you doubt this video is worth your time, just take a gander through the comments. Put it this way, if you put your mind to it Saturday Breakfast, by lunchtime you'll get it, and by dinner time, you'll have half the world begging you for mercy! *milage may vary*

I'm glad. it took me ages to get my head round this years ago, coz it plays so differently when compared to other "RTS games"

I was playing around with the recruit and deploy priorities, and the thing is, if upgrades are the same priority as new divisions, if you have a bunch of old equipment in stockpile, the new divisions will be equipped with the old equipment and get it upgraded later on. If the new divisions are higher priority, they will be equipped initially with old equipment but they will start receiving the new equipment while still in training. So to avoid new divisions with old equipment being deployed I think it's good to give new divisions a higher priority

The way you organize this tutorial is priceless some of the others spend so much time on stuff you don’t need right away and so little time on stuff that you do this is a beautiful piece of work

Thank you very much. I have not played for 2 years. I refreshed my missing DLCs the other day with the Steam sale. This tutorial brought back much of what I previously knew; although there are new aspects I see such as modular building of equipment. The last DLC I got was espionage before I stopped. I will probably play a vanilla game or two, then go on to spice it up with Expert AI. And if I still am playing by '25, then maybe some BI and MD. AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR INCREDIBLE GENOROSITY TO WALK THROUGH A 3.5 HOUR VIDEO. SO, KIND OF YOU. YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON!!!

I am so overwhelmed that I needed a break from the games 2 hours in without ever pressing play lol amazing tutorial though thanks mate

Love it how you took the time to explain what, and why you are doing (including what you click to get stuff done). Unlike many other tutorials that seem just "too fast." Highly appreciate your time and effort. Thank you. :)

I know I'm a year late, but I appreciate you going over all the little things. the complexity of this game is what kept me off for so long well, that and the fact that most tutorials don't go over the small stuff so I usually have no idea what I'm doing until now

Thanks so much for making this video! I'm a long time civ player and this is my first Paradox game. I looked at the HOI4 in-game tutorial, wiki and some other getting started videos and yours is the first one that breaks it all down in a way that makes sense. Thanks again!

Just got Hoi4 and its VERY overwhelming but your tutorial was very helpful in understanding the basics

This video should be in the main game tutorial, thank you

This is a very good tutorial that goes over everything in Hearts of Iron IV. A 3 hour tutorial is needed for this game as there is too much to go over for just a 10 minute video. I also like that you talked about things as it happened in the game as it is a lot easier to follow. A lot of tutorials just skip to bits in a campaign which is honestly annoying.

Plenty of guides got me “started” but frequently hitting a wall because so much was missing or glossed over. Finally this popped up on my KZread search!

Germany is definitely the way to go on this game, once you've mastered it (pun intended) move onto the other nations. Britain, Italy and USA are enjoyable, but it's quite a change of gears (vs Germany) to have to let go of places you can't possibly win without massive casualties.

I've owned this game for years, and have racked up about 15hrs total, because of the curve. This really breaks it down. So while I'm playing I'm just pausing and reviewing this video on that subject. My game has been uped big time with this, and it makes the game all the more fun. Thanks for a great video.

Thank you sir! Had this game for years just sitting uninstalled. Finally can make stuff happen!

Fyi: "Bubi" comes from "Bube" ("Boy", "the Kid", as you mentioned he joined war very late due to his age. In some connotation it can be used as "mean one", or even "villain"). Bubi is belittlement of Bube. If Bubi sounds too dirty, because of the similiar sound as word for female chest, then just call Hartmann Erich. As you certainly know, Bubi is a false friend to Boobie. Good video so far :)

Outstanding tutorial. Probably the best of any game I've ever watched. Considering the complexity of this game that's quite incredible. This is going to cut down on some of the learning cliff and make it slightly curved. I appreciate it. Looking forward to your other videos!

You have given me a lot of ideas here, so thank you. To give them a fair video, I would have to do a fair bit of research into the mechanics of the game, which can be quite complex, and seem to change with almost every update and almost every add-on. I'm currently working on a request for combat width, and while by itself it's not too complicated, it's the sheer number of things to try and remember to actually make much use out of it. Perhaps a cheat sheet people can print off alongside the video is the way to go.

This game is a beast. This video really help me understand it better thanks.

Be interested to hear more about what you think about the "official story" to WW2, like any books you read that covered the "real" history since this game is just the accepted narrative? The official story seems to be that they basically made up a new currency called the Rentenmark, backed by mortgages and agricultural real estate assets, and they called this a return to the gold standard, they pegged the value to what the old exchange rate was prior to hyperinflation. But this whole thing makes no sense to me. They were backing the new currency not with gold but with more debt, and that debt was valued in goldmarks which is what the old currency was before they abandoned the gold standard and it became the papermark. So their assets were really in papermarks, it seems they essentially declared this new currency to be worth some amount, and shazam! problem solved, 4.2RM = 1 USD. So essentially another fiat currency

Hi Mike... I'm always SUPER EXCITED (really) to stumble into someone randomly on the interwebs that has a questioning mind, tries to stick narratives together, handed down by officialdom, and realises the whole thing makes zero sense... The problem is, this topic is so massive, and censorship is so rife if you stray even a little bit off the official story, its difficult to have an open discussion. If I were to talk to myself 20 years ago, I would say something like "look into his getaway to south america, look into the FBI declassified documents (still in their official vault website) that shows they were keeping tabs on him before XMAS 1945"... Why didn't the allies send a handful of crack special forces over and finish him off?? Was he perhaps part of a bigger plan? What about the economy, as you've pointed out, and all the ties with the british royals, and the USA Bush family (bankers at the time)?? How does a country that's completely broke, where paper money so worthless, stacked up, is used as giant lego bricks for kids to play with? Suddenly (6 years) builds autobahns, factories, war economy, and has full employment with everyone making money (i had a great grandad who died only a few years ago, bought a BIG house in 1936, big garden, my grandparents still live there today - and his job, was changing tyres for lorries... My point is "the little guy" in mid-late 30's germany was living as well as 2 skilled workers living as a couple, pooling their wages today)... Someone somewhere was financing this entire possibility. Don't get me wrong, the germans were primed for revenge also, treated very unfairly after ww1 (story goes, they were trying to help a weaker ally), and then had their country dismantled or sold off for pennies on the pound/dollar to unscrupulous folk. Of course having your country balkanised is always a recipe for some to wanna put it back together again, and of course the country had a guy held up, who said and did all the right things, that led to his absolute worship. Was H really a madman trying to takeover the world? or was he a stooge in place, pretending to be mad, to justify/explain away all the stupid military moves he did (like go into russia with the UK still there - an obvious entry for the US later on)... There's so many other things you pick up along the way, big and small, for example if you read one of the many very good memoirs by german soldiers and tank commanders in the war, you'll find a book with hundreds of pages of war and action, divided up with a few sentences here and there, where guys were on leave, perhaps wounded, or coming back to recieve some high level award etc - and these few lines provide massive insight into a guys honest thoughts, who really is writing a book about where he was fighting whom and how. Example - the guy's at home in Berlin, after being wounded, given a couple weeks off before he must return to the line vs Russia, and his brother works for the secure telecommunications in Berlin. It's later 1944, and Normandy is now a couple or so months in, the Germans are fighting a losing war on 2 fronts, getting pinched, and lost all air superiority 2 years previous. Bombing night after night with 1000+ bomber formations, with nothing much to do... This brother says - in german obviously - "I connected a top secret call the other day, Goering (luftwaffe chief) was asking H for permission to use "a couple of the special bombs against the allies...." then his Dad interrupts to say "ahhh, this is the wunderwaffe we've been hearing about - it will turn the tide of the war in our favour again" (clearly a reference to the a-bomb)... the brother continues "but H told him no, under no circumstances".... So why would a madman deny the use of the one weapon (2 in fact) that could potentially save him? Not only that, but months after the german surrender, japan receives not 1, but 2 a-bombs.... We're those the same 2 that H denied Goeing could use 12-15 months earlier? We'll never know for sure.

Erich Hartmann was 14 in 1936 so he definitely wasn't enlisted yet. He gets a lot of credit for being an ace, but most of his wins were against soviets who had abysmally bad planes compared to the Germans and even worse training methods. After all, the Soviets were best known for their tanks and ability to work in their own environment.
