5:20 for those who don’t know, army defence advisors are actually very good, as for advisors, generals, and feild marshals. Defence increases actually increase breakthrough, which in this instance would be much better than a non combat out of supply penalty reduction

Tip: if you want to find a mysterious country that you've already capitulated but it miraculously survived somewhere, press F and the search box will open. Also works for searching individual provinces

I wish paradox added like a signaling system for your allies, like you can ping the players in MP or the AI in SP to hold the front or to give you naval/aerial superiority in a region, or to start pushing somewhere or retreat somewhere else, etc. Would solve the issue of the AI doing things you don't want it to do

This will be interesting as bittersteel focused more on his gameplay and goals while ISP focuses more on his personality while doing random shit

The moment Stalin declared war I knew he was hiding there. I've had the exact same thing happen to me. Defeated Soviets, fought over territory and due to points shenanigans the Soviets still existed alongside other Soviet puppets. Then out of the blue Soviets declare war on some 3rd party. Had no idea where they were until I had business in the Pacific and saw them up there.

Personally I agree that lend lease is a bit strong for any half decent player but on the same note it’s quite realistic. As long as your sea lanes are safeish I think it’s well placed in the meta. I’m reminded of the English and Communist who basically would have lost everything if not for American lend lease/loans.

Can't believe I'm about to watch this whole series again.

ISP has really created a monster with his A to Z challenge

All the ghosts of empires is what really carried this run.

Already can tell this is gonna be a great series

Thank you so much for doing a-z series. Seriously its so helpful and i like your video and play style. Thanks man!

I can tell this is going to be a fun series

I like how you went historical and baited the enemy into the mountains.

I am really excited for this series. Seeing someone do A to Z with a more long-form style will be very entertaining

What a start to the series - best of luck with your A to Z campaign!!

Really love the idea of your A to Z series! Looking forward to seeing some never played minor powers.

The amount of micro-ing that bitter had to go through for this video, the amount of respect I give is immeasurable

Cool video! I'm doing something similar for myself, but not in alfabethical order. Yemen, Cuba and Uruguay were surprisingly fun :) Good luck with this challenge!

Can't wait for the rest of this series!!!

Gotta say, your commentary is so relaxing. It works as my ASMR in a weird odd way.

I'd love to see this campaign continue!!

YES thank you for doing this

Cool idea! Go on with your amazing work! 😊

I absolutely love bitters content it makes me jolt in joy whenever i see his videos. As a mongolian 🇲🇳 hoi player i ussually cant play mp and his achievement guides are such a great source of joy

I only heard about these "A to Z Nations" challenges recently and I must say, I love the idea. HoI4 is too difficult for my mind to even comprehend, so it will be EU4 "A to Z" challenge for me (Starting with Aachen).

Bittersteel not checking the casualty report on that 80+ division encirclement in v france hurt my soul

I am very much looking forward to more of this series.

Now this is a proper A2Z series. Waiting for more

Epic play to finish this off, good effort!

Haha this was funny to watch. Thanks for adding me to your vanguard army and for keeping me alive! :D maybe some medals could be awarded aswell in the future :D

I loved this video and I have to say that I’m amazed if you keep your sanity for the hole serie. If you manege I think that you can try and create the Al-Andalus caliphate from an Algeria without the French cores.

Oh boy, this is gonna be fun. Hope he does releasables as well!

Sometimes I feel like the developers added a Decision that sounded cool, then didn't actually try to achieve it themselves. I know it's not true, that power creep has just made previously-achievable Decisions vastly more difficult, alongside some regions getting blanket Decisions that some of them can achieve which others can't, but it's funny to think about.

Imagine ISP and Bittersteel co-oping a nation😂

What a great video mate❤

Im excited for when you play Austria. I just had a game where I denied anschluss and now have almost created austria-hungary. no mods and historical focuses too. If you wanna know what I did just ask.

This feels like the start of a painful and lovely series. May the ISP good bless your soul.

I gave the video a like, not because its good (which it is), but because u posted. Quality content like normal 👍

Please make HoI4 A-Z a series! This is amazing!!!

Yes! I am so excited for this! ISP brings the memes and shorts and you bring the deep-dives and strategies!

Yay ! A to Z ! I was waiting for it ^^ and it's reaching my hopes ! Persian Empire for a start O_O Best HOI4 content creator here XD

I've watched all of Bittersteel's videos for a long time, and this might be my favorite ever. I can't wait to see the rest of A to Z.

I do love your vids I’m going to get a pc for Christmas and this is the first game I’m getting because of you thank you hope you get a lot of subs and have a great KZread channel

Might it have been worthwhile to convert a few units to Mountaineers for the push into the Caucuses? Seems like all those mountain tiles would have been the perfect place to use them.

This might sound silly but would you be able to make a micro tutorial interesting? I see you and others play this micro-ing, seems like you're using hotkeys to redeploy units or something? When do you move a unit, how do you "cycle" units into a losing tile, etc? Usually I see tutorial focused on build orders, templates, and focus trees. Not how to actually manage and micro. Which.. I think might be really useful and have valid info regardless of patches so you aren't being asked to update it every 6 months.

I’m so pumped got Bitt3rSteel A-Z let’s gooooo!

That was amazing but im sure that wasn't in my mind when i asked persian empire 😂😂😂great job man that was amazing

Retain the Status Quo with limited liberalizations in exchange of higher stability and inheriting the military prowess from the Fatherland, or 2. To heed on the Indies' already existing interest groups' wishes to make the East Indies more independent from Den Haag but still ultimately subservient to the Kingdom, in exchange of stability loss.

Hello everybody, and welcome back to hoi4 A2Z. The series where I (now bitt3rsteel) play every single starting nation in Hearts of Iron 4.

Cant wait for the next one

can't wait for more, got back into HoI4 and now I get to watch my fav Hoi4 yter lose his sanity. hold on, gotta grab some popcorn.

Try playing as switzerland and try to take over axis. But overall. Good video LUV iT

Only bitter can make this sort of playthrough entertaining

Continues to be wild seeing HOI4 combat take place in cities that are part of a warzone rn.

I cannot wait for him to be shocked at the El Salvador start.

i woud actually love to see you and ISP do a collab on HOI4

I recommend the "minor nations reborn"-mod for playthroughs with all these nations that have the generic focus tree.

3:40 can we take a moment to apreciate that a member of bittersteels channel has the most French name ever ,shoutout to @Jean-Pierre

Stunning! Afghanistan run!

Reference to the civs and mils going into the other province at the start, I think building higher infrastructure in kabul should help

What a fun campaign to watch! Also spotted my name, well, I saw Stephen, just imagine I am the only one :P As an early subscriber ;)

so nice love your vids!💖

I gave this a try as well, but i just skipped navy completely and used paratroopers instead to take islands and strategic locations, since i have had previous bad experiences with forming persia as iran, some of which involve my navy getting stuck.

love the series, RedHawk is gonna be proud!

Thanks!

Yes! I love RedHawk's A-Z challenge in EU4, so I am very excited to see you do that in HoI4. It really gets you into playing nations that rarely are played, and then the challenge goals can also be a lot of fun to come up with.
