To be fair, history has shown that England is pretty good at this whole "colonialism" business. It took a world war or two to get them to let go of most of the empire. The U.S. had a lot of help from France (who were always up for fucking with the English) and an ocean of distance when we broke free. Even for such a dominant naval power, oceans are big. We just needed to make things too expensive to be worthwhile anyway. By comparison, Ireland was in their backyard.

I find it darkly humourous How similar your situation was to our situation in India. Lol, even the reasons that they gave for starving you guys when it would have been perfectly possible to keep you guys well fed were the same ones that they gave when they starved different parts of India “We are civilizing them” “ they are lazy and stupid by nature, maybe a little starvation will make them smarter” and other nonsense.

@@MegaGun2000 There was no intentional starvation. However it is true that some, like Sir Charles Edward Trevelyan, 1st Baronet viewed the Irish in such a manner as you suggest. Rather the British could not be bothered to pay for grain and wedded themselves to a free-market doctrine for God only knows what reason. That and incentivising evictions multiplied by a landlord clause which exempted a vast amount of landed peasantry and thus forcing them off the land. Soup Kitchens in contrast cost less than public works and worked. Nevertheless a lot of the charity was provided by the English themselves.

You had me rolling on the "if there's one thing the Irish can do it's plan a surprise for people that don't want one"

It might be a strange thing to say, but countries with generic focus tree are a prime target of civil war factory exploit. Make sure you have two provinces. Finish first industrial focus that doesn't give factories, then pursue causing civil war and cheese it with either leaving AI with only artillery template or no units. Encircle them on their only victory point... and just wait for them to do their focuses. Bam, you have exploited generic focus tree(which already has more factories and building slots then New Zealand) twice.

Hey Stakuyi. You can actually have even more, all important, stats by creating a front line and gaining the planning bonus. I usually take a general and give him a area defence order in a nuetral country and a field marshall that has a front line and attack order. This gives you both planning bonus and you remain in control of your units. Planning bonus with grand battle plan is 60% stat modifier which is pretty strong.

Yeah. Just because it didn't do a lot historically doesn't mean there aren't some interesting things it could have done that are no less unusual than some of the paths for other nations. I wonder if they are worried that giving the minor nation AIs more options in an ahistoric run would be too wild (actually, I'm not sure how those AI work to begin with). Possible focus tree paths: - Unifying Ireland - Conquering Britain out in revenge for... well, a lot of things. - Reuniting with Britain. You could always do something about going commie of fascist. Maybe reestablish an Irish monarch?

Ireland is in a good place to make the war interesting for anyone. If they go Axis they can stab the UK in the back and not decimate sure but sap and distract allied... everything. If Ireland goes Allied then it frees up some British reserves and gives allies more places to move troops and dock ships let alone if you ever deploy men. If they go communist no idea what then, but it's amusing enough to be worth it. Obvs they're weak in base game, which is sorta realistic for the manpower and arms (Some Americans, read: Redditors, have a distorted view of how strong, united and populated Ireland was) and f's they gave about dying on frontlines for another country but HOI4 is strong at alt history. There are mods to make their focus tree unique and there's also a pretty cool looking Ireland unit graphic mod.

@@FortressLordJP193There is a historical Monarchist path they could go down. Prince-President of the Irish Republic, Dual-Monarchy and of course generic Republic stuff.

The year is 1939. France is entirely occupied by the Germans. Well, not entirely... One small coast of indomitable Irish still holds out against the invaders.

"She has no idea i'm playing map-game for funds" Uh oh

Getting first generic navy national focus is good for any nation even if you don't build navy as it unlocks building slots, dockyards can be deleted.

"a single gun shared between 18 dudes at the pub" Ah yes, the Winchester, I know it well

1. that intro is so wholesome, valid, kind and thoughtful. best Husbando. 2. Personally I'd love to watch you do other games similar to Hoi like Crusader Kings as id love to see your historical and creative spin on some of the wacky things in that game as well. 3. hope you got some rest & sleep after filming.

"If there's anything the Irish can do, it's plan a surprise for people who really don't want one." I resemble that remark!

A seventy day focus for a civilian factory? Damn, we haven't changed much, given our child hospital

Brest looked like it was being led by Captain Kirrahe from Mass Effect for a bit there. "Good captain. Bit of a cloaca, though. Loved his speeches. 'Hold the line!' Always preferred to get job done and go home."

Liked, subscribed to both channels, and followed your podcast. I know how tough it can be with relationships and I hope this works out. Love your stuff!

I remember when I’d try the same strat with as Canada, but I’d alway stay on the border if Brittany and then get naval invaded from behind the lines, killing my expensive chaos legions

Historical focus tree for Ireland: a single node called "Go to the pub", which makes you neutral for the whole game, ruins relations with the English, and causes sporadic civil wars.

You're awesome @stakuyi !!!! We love you and I hope you find success with your dreams!

Damn, bro really just casually turned Brest into almost 3 simultaneous Stalingrads

Field hospital lowers the war support loss for losing men which is super good if you lack good war support. It also at 3/4 often times my troops almost never end up losing trained status and some times can end up getting skull ranks thanks to the -xp loss. 2 vs 3-5 it's clear which ones are flat out better. Due to not seeing this bonus right away people sleep on it. Personally I think it's 100% worth it for anyone you know will take losses like France or Russia, France can't afford the loss in war support and Russia will lose a ton of battles by default, making it hard to bounce back or even just find a line to hold. Even Germany tends to suffer lack of man power after a time, Italy I never had issues with man power.

Yooo I've been waiting for hoi4 Irish gaming on KZread

"The great thing about holding Brest" had me rolling

“I am literally killing you!” 😂😂 You had me dying at that part lol

I imagine German scouts advancing on Brest and before they could report anything back, 3000+ artillery shells drop on them because Irish gunners wanted to test their spud cannons :D

"Im doing this while my whole family is asleep" bro same

It's funny because it's an actual strategy that France almost done after the fall of Paris, trying to hold Brittany and keep fighting from there.

imagine being a 21 german soldier, stuck in the western front or 3 years, as you see millions come and never to return. THEN THE IRISH COME IN SPEEDING IN WHILE THEIR ARTILLERY IS FIRING ON THE BACK O A TRUCK AT MACH 1 SPEED

irish artillery is guided by God

All the gallia has fallen to the empire. All? Well, theres one village that holds off by potato-cannons.

me: how many bomb jokes is he gonna make about us? stakuyi: yes me: good~ >:D

The Irish holding the most celtic region of France makes sense

Defence and breakthrough are the exact same thing. Defence minimises damage received when being attacked and breakthrough minimises damage received when attacking.

I like to imagine the Germans in Ireland just grabbed some paddle boats and rowed themselves to the Irish Coast to do their thing.

Given Germany’s intended role in supplying the Easter Rising, I am kind of surprised there isn’t some sort of Axis Irish Free State mod or something

"In June 1940, Malcolm MacDonald offered to "give back" the six counties comprising Northern Ireland - an offer of Irish unity - if Ireland would join with the Allies, but the offer was not taken seriously." - random fact

Nice potatoes you got there Shame if someone was to………take them. *laughs in tea*

Man Ireland in THIS PARTICULAR TIME could be suuuuuuuuuuuuuper spicy. Imagine if the IRA had started supplying the Free French with tactics and supplies???

People may love tanks and mechanized….but a template of all infantry and artillery is capable of toppling giants. I had a template with almost 1500 defense…the German casualties were in the millions while I only lost around hundred thousand…most of which came from my airforce being decimated.

ww2 or "the emergency" as it was called here still had an impact on the country despite staying out at one point the north strand an area in the inner city of dublin was bombed by the germans officials they said they made a mistake thinking it was britian but some think it was on purpose either to force Ireland to stay out of the war or even force Ireland into the war as it irelands army is quite small and focused on defence only so an invasion would have allowed the germans to flank britian and there was a plan to invade called operation green or case green also britian at one point offered the north of Ireland back to us in exchanged for joining the war but the government refused believing britian wouldn't be able to honor it given the opposition of the unionists to Irish rule and probably thinking britian was just lying to get us to join on the other side the British at one point threaten to invade despite Ireland being natural they were leaning towards the allies handing over german pilots that landed to the allies and letting allied ones go they also gave weather reports to the allies which helped with d day and letting them use Irish air space despite that Éamon de Valera actually offered his condolence after hilters death was announced and we had to ration our economy for years after the war britian was mad we didn't join and our economy suffered for it also we didn't join the UN till 1955 because part of the deal with it when it was set up in the closing days of the war was you had to declare war on germany and unlike say turkey and others who did in the last year we never did my two great great uncles fought in ww2 one was in the forgotten army in burma and the other was in the RAF over maylasia and was shot down by the japaness and take as a POW and disappeared for 20 years after he came home my grandad only bumping into again in a pub in London during the 1966 world cup
