Ойындар

I'm going back to nations on HOI4 that I haven't tried in years, today on Hearts of Iron 4 i'd totally forgotten that Portugal has a focus tree, and it's OP. Join me and let's see what Portugal and Brazil can come up with!

    The trick is to rush the monarchist tree on the right, trigger the revolution in Brazil first, use ur divisions to quickly capitulate ur enemy, give everything to the brazilian monarchists. Then do the focuses to restore monarchy in Portugal while improving worker conditions and u will turn Portugal Monarchic without a civil war everytime. While in the brief war with Brazil research the 1st army focus to remove the unreliable army and after everything do the unite the kingdoms focus. Ez :)

    I love Portugal in hoi4 the focus tree is just Great, so I played it really often, especially the Monarchist Route. But I must say that I really cringed the way you played it😅 So first of all, the key to success is to prevent the civil war, so you need to keep your Stability up and rush brasil and the monarchist as fast as possible. You can this if you also do fascist, communist and Democratic raids, they're really helpful. Next thing you gonna do is to Naval invade the Victory points in North brasil. There are three so you invade them with your three cavalry you have. In this way you can beat them in One focus duration. You also said that you had really few pp, thats probably because of the Bad Stability. It's also always a good idea to get the politcal advisors who give You political Power.

    As a regular Portugal player, you need to rush to get Brazil flipped to monarchism as quickly as possible before they have a chance to build up too many troops. Accept that they will have a civil war. Have your troops positioned in Africa so that they can cross over quickly to snake around and grab the victory points. Don't use the stir monarchist sentiment decisions because that will lower the stability needlessly. Wait until you've secured monarchism in Brazil before flipping to monarchism in Portugal. Easy path to reuniting the two kingdoms follows.

    Just a tip next time, the "Stir Monarchist Sentiment in Portugal " decision gives you -1% weekly stab for the whole duration, it's goddamn terrible. You can easily fix monarchist support by just spending PP lowering support for other political factions without permanently tanking your stability.
