the best work from the best devs ! cheers
I am already pretty good at HOI4, but i stopped by to see if there was anything new I could learn. And to my great surprise, the one doing the OFFICIAL guide is the same guy who taught me everything I know about HOI4. what a champion, Hammotime!
Thanks man, finally an easy and clear tutorial to help me getting into HOI4. Appreciated! 😍
Proper Hoi4 tutorial, after 8 years in development hopefully it will have been worth the wait
We love Hammo's voice! 🙌🙌🙌 hope we keep collaborating with him
Great guide. This is the one I will be sending to new players from now on.
Such a well done video for us new players. Thank you!
A straightforward and comprehensive guide.
Did this seriously come out the week after I start making sense of the game’s basics. If only the game was 1% more complex, then it would’ve taken long enough for this video to come out beforehand. Jokes aside, and for the behalf of others. Good guide. It’s good to see one that’s official.
very good tutorial! I now understand this game better thanks to this guy! I am super excited to play this game with my friends!!! :D
Oh my God... That helped me out! Thank you!👌👌
I have watched this 2 times and i am still clueless how to play this game but its great that you guys uploaded a tutorial

I've been waiting so long for this game to finally get more content before I play it and finally there is an up-to-date tutorial for it, perfect. Is there always war in HOI4 eventually, or are there also periods of peace, like in EU4 and CK3?
it was about time
This game is something else, most games lose popularity over time, but this one just keeps growing 🎉
Amazing tutorial!

If you want to learn how to use ships and why… Look Mordred Viking Navy tutorial and/or his beginner friendly Italy play though. He talks all about different task forces how and why to use them and what kind of admiral is good to each type of task force. I did learn to love navy battles because of his tutorials!

Amazing that you guys help beginners with a "quick" and honestly wonderful tutorial. Props to you Paradox and @hammotimee!
skipped right to the navy section
thanks, now i can finally learn to play this game and learn how to use the navy
Hope they add more start dates,that would be cool!
Excited waiting for the monetary system implementation on next update function.😊 Also I am once again asking for Dutch East Indies DLC.

Ive really wanted to get into Nation related games and HOI4 just seems like the top dog for that. Hopefully I get the hang of it soon cause this game seems fun when you know what you're actually doing
Finally going to start using navy after 3500 hours! Thanks Paradox!
Considering I had to google just how to do the tutorial, gonna need all the help I can get
Now give me a tutorial on how to get a better Japan focus tree! Ngl this video was really awesome.
Thank you.
Bruh if you’re new and reading this, it will take at least 50 hours to be able to survive
I really like this game!
Random question here for the fellow commneters. How many of your games have been runied through a random nation joining the faction you are at war with. And how many games were also runied by a nation you declare war on panic joining a faction.

Hey, can you consider adding that when Field Marshall makes a frontline instead of Generals, everyone from this frontline gains xp for the organiser trait?

Many thanks for this detailed video! Nevertheless, experience is the best teacher. I think for beginners, to start off with a large powerful nation makes the game too overwhelming and a steep learning curve has to be learned. Would it perhaps be easier to start off with a small independent nation such as the Netherlands or Luxembourg? Maybe this would make the game less overwhelming for new players like myself.
Literally just installed and need help. Kind of hoping for a step by step introduction. So is there another video i can watch. Cause i am getting lost at the recruit and deployment part

Oh well now i can do a revision for my hoi4 strategies.
Big up Hammo
Should do a 30 minute lets play as a beginner country where you fight right away. As Germany I had no idea what to keep producing or remove from production. Also had no idea why my docks kept becoming available for use. Also how to keep ontop of armies getting supplies and having enough oil.
Was fantastic when the game first came, out I was a demon on casual pick up games online, especially as the Wehrmacht. I've been playing an 8 year old pirated copy since around the spies came out because the game became so much to managed. Now that my favorite contintent to play as (South America) is now getting focus tree's; I suppose it's finally time to relearn the game and pick up the new DLCs that I've been missing out on.
A whole guide to the game from the developers, wow))) What a pity that they only talked about 3% of the game
@haukionkannel
Ай бұрын
Well they did talk about 60% of the game… Only things missing are peace deals (not important in the beginning) and some special operationa like naval invasion and paratroops. Also missing was crytion encryption. Everything else was there because this was base game and most complex options are from DLC…
oh wow its hammotime

I like to play as the smaller nations in this game. Is there anything specific I need to know when playing countries like Cuba or Bhutan?

What is the best setting in options to have the best gameplay?

After 1.5k hours on this game when i only bought it after by blood alone i can say I now know how to use navy!
HammoTimme??? Cool to see that
Al fin podré saber cómo usar la marina
30:13 edit: i would have liked if you went into more depth in the navy section- e.g you mention at 31:51 that you need 4 screens per capital ship to protect them, but you don't say protect them from what- with the answer being torpedoes. This could have better segwayed into explaining the 4 types of attack stat (torpedo, light attack, heavy attack, naval bombing)
I’m over 2100 hours, I would’ve loved this 6 years ago lmao
glad i just bought the game
Perfect timing for when you want someone to try the game for free and learn it so they can buy it at a dicounted price!
Hey Paradox? Is there any chance you could make a new tutorial in game? The old one wasn’t great but with the Italy rework it’s downright awful.
now i can at least half-ass playing this game on the free weekend on steam!
