Iceland getting a tree before Belgium is really showing which are the relevant countries in this world.

Just imagine being british in this world you dont want any war after the horrors of ww1 then you see the axis do what they could not in ww1 and captured all countries that opposed them in mainland europe then you hear news of an invasion but it is not the germans it is a random island called iceland despite having no ice and a lot of volcanoes

8:55 that's also one of the tricks you can use with Germany to naval invade the UK by going from the port north of amsterdam which puts the arrow exactly in between the english channel and the eastern north sea so you only need supremacy in the north sea

Iceland, a neutral nation that got invaded by Britain and then later turned over to the USA (before Pearl harbour). Which I am pretty sure is the only time in history that a nation was occupied by another neutral nation during a war

some of this is just plain and simple peddling to the vikingboos and i love it lol

Great video. My run was similar, except invading Netherlands was very painful. I should have used the market from the start. Yugoslavia gave me basically all my guns and artillery. I didnt continue after the allies capped, i didnt know about that absurd non core pop advisor. Wow that is broken.

Would love to see a continuation!

The Indonorse strike again! Now in Hoi4 instead of Crusader Kings games...

Oh, please, continue!

gotta love that guy

I love hove the Spanish civil war penalty is a reference to the infamous EU4 "comet sighting" stability hit event

just got this game a couple days ago, already got a great new youtuber to watch

The epitome of "size doesn't matter"😂

Great Video! For your next video, I'd recommend playing the Hoi4 mod "Battle of Seelow Heights" and attempt to save historical April 12th Germany from total disaster, it's a tough challenge hopefully.

Really need at least one play-trough with that Nordic tree lol.

I liked the old thumbnail as I’ve been loving the thumbnail art recently, sad to see it go away but it doesn’t change the high quality of this video

I would love to see an update on the Byzantium guide since the strat doesn’t work anymore. I always ended up capping them in 39

It seems like that while I wasn't watching you, a lot of futurama started getting into your videos

Please continue 🙏

Love that god old style thumbnail with the new country ball style!

If they want to go more realism heavy I think they should do something about the Indonesian man power, unlike for instance India the Indonesians didn't really fight as much in the Dutch armies, and do something about the naval invasions, ideally that you need superiority for a period not just a tick, with the possibility to react.

@@Hyde_Hill, thanks for the input. Yeah, the colony is barely industrialized and the populace is generally either apathetic (in case of the rural villagers because lack of care from above) or distrustful (in case of the educated urbanists because of the crackdown after the failed 1926 Rebellion) towards the administration. In turn, the heavy penalty to Recruitable Population Factor would entice the player to think more about their political decisions and its consequences, especially if it's manpower-related.

First of all: i love your work. Much like yourself i am someone who has attempted to grow a channel on the side, all while working, having family, etc. and I can only imagine the time commitment required to run a channel and provide content of this quality. I honestly can admit i never would have understood the game like i do now if it weren't for your videos amd tutorials when i picked the game up 2 months ago so mad props to you my friend. But i have a project Im considering starting but im not proficient enough with the game itself to make a quality video. Im wanting to recreate as accurately as humanly possible USA 's involvement in WW2. Im talking about accurate ship names, generals/admirals, advisors, and army and fleet compositions. Essentially follow the real world timeline and make a video from the perspective of pure history. I know that would be quite an undertaking but ive already done all the research necessary for it. I just need help from somebody with a far greater understanding of the mechanics of the game. If you know any content creators who might be interested in something of that nature, or have any suggestions or can point me in the right direction it would truly be helpful!

Envy your luck here bitter. Tried three times and failed. First time HOL did not budge, lost half the convoy and 2 DD. Second time UK intercepted 2 out of 3 naval invasions to Hull, and the one they let slip, well that's the one hitting Hull where it was guarded. Third time the charm, the naval invasion did not even launch and it is 40, more than half the convoy ship is gone to maintain troops on HOL supplied.

Is the title a typo? (will edit after watching video) Edit: He changed it mid video.

intresting

Love from greece

If you invade Britain from the tile north off Amsterdam, you can bypass the channel and eastern north sea. You just need to have supremacy on the north sea. Same works on Spain, from Leon to Bristol, just 1 region needed.

Invading the Netherlands as Finland before AAT was ridiculously easy. All you had to do was get a good beachhead and defend mainly Rotterdam and Amsterdam until you could strike back and take a port.

Yay

Imagine having Christian X as a national spirit as Icelend but Denmark doesn't have it ! Just imagine the irony. 🙃

Funnily enough, there is an Indonesian club based on Bandung that its fans has "The Vikings" as their moniker. Could've put an Indonesian Viking in the thumbnail instead of the Icelandic one.

only a few people will remember when he misspelled "back" as "bakc" in the title

Another video 🥹 tank god 🥹

I mean, if Iceland was a country that historically exist but in HOI4 doesn´t till AAT we can maybe see the same for Egypt being the main countrie of an arab DLC with Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman.

You know i think bittersteel likes futurerama? idk tho
