The faster you get Scavenging Tactics, the faster you stabilize your units' strength. Focus on movement, recovery rate, and supply consumption, then you have officially turned the Ethiopian highlands into the Isonzo river.

So great to see more achievement guides.

Personally I quite like to have all my divisions in 1 army under the desert fox, as you can grind his mountaineer up really quick to get adaptable, and also if you quickly train up and force deploy 3 more fictions you can start working on skilled staffer, which gets you logi wizard high command which really helps in Africa.

I’ve recently learned that defense skill on a general modifies breakthrough so it might be worth considering

Also you can grind adaptable within the first 3-6 months if you swap your generals around, i.e. desert guy in the mountains, mountain guy in the desert. Worth using the ones who will get the scavenger upgrade from your focus tree too :)

I found that if in the balance of power, you give your all your ethnic groups independence, they will then build factories and then you can re-annex them later on using decisions unlocked after doing a focus (I can't remember which one.). This will give you more factories overall, but I think you have to beat Italy so your nation doesn't lose existence when collapsing.

praying to hear my wish for another saving your disaster campaign. always a good series as expected.

I think the chitet are probably better due to all the bonuses you can get for them and they don't cost much supply, which you barely have in Africa.

Great video, looking forward to your next videos❣❣

Can't wait for you to cover some version of the federal empire cheese and get a 70 factory ethiopia without leaving the horn! Great vid.

Nice there's no high pitched sound in the background now thanks for fixing it bittersteel

I have learned that I have to do the newest achievements guides you post, since some of the old guides don't work anymore, they either modify the AI to be smarter or include new mechanics to invalidate some of the cheese

You can progeny aussa capping. Keep the city to the left of it, it’s one province in from the Italian frontline , massaca or smth; put 2 Inf 2 mountaineers on the left mountain tile they’ll never push it, put the rest of your inf and one militia on the city, but don’t have more than 6 on the tile. Any extra you keep on the province behind it and cycle one in every time you see someone retreating. Do NOT use a front line. The rest of your militia 9 of them send to the south and use three tiles like bitter does. Get the extra unit asap and send it south. Keep an eye on the south but it will generally hold. You will have to micro the north until you get your volunteers (guns focus) and then hold. Train one or two more militia for the south but otherwise you don’t need more units. Italy will not be able to push at all. Use your most defensive general for the north and hill fighter for the south.

Honestly I failed the resistance on a lot of it and didn't get the option to give guns again, BUT I managed to go to war with uk by joining an "ally" of one of the nations I freed in a different region and initially it's extremely easy to take the land neeeded for achievement. so don't let failing one make you give up the run.

Great video but there are two more cheesey things you can add to this strategy since I did 95% of the same to beat Italy. First cheese, you need 20 PP and you can improve relations with Mongolia and Tannu Tuva, this is so you can ask them for lend-lease. It may take a month or two before they will agree to send you anything. But when they finally do wait until the guns are almost delivered and pause the game. Before the guns are added to your stockpile bump any units that you are training to highest priority to get equipment so they can get enough guns to reach 20% training level to force deploy them. Once you receive the guns go back into diplomacy with those two countries and cancel lend lease and then ask for more guns- ONCE THE UNIT IN TRAINING GETS THE GUNS DO NOT FORGET TO SET THE PRIORITY TO REINFORCEMENT. You can do this for about a year or so before apparently they will stop building a stockpile of guns because their army will be equipped. Later on in the game once the Spanish civil war is over you can ask guns from Germany and Russia since they will no longer be sending aid to the Spanish Civil war. There are pros and cons to this, if your soldiers end up being too well equipped above 70% fighting strength the Italians will stop attacking this is bad because they will stop burning equipment in attacks and will be able to build up morale making offensives a little tougher. Second cheese, after you complete Hold in the North and South you can purposefully let the Italian army border your province of Shewa I actually lost Dessie on one of my attempts and found that you can initiate another war escalation. I only recommend doing this one once you have 18+ infantry in the north because you will have to hold a longer border against the Italian army. If you can manage to hold Shewa province for 190 days you will hasten the war escalation by one step which can be be used to time your offensive sooner because mass desertions will happen a little sooner than anticipated.

Tanzania is a union between Zanzibar and Tanganyika, actually. So you're wrong there, individual territories still retain their names to this day. And will keep doing so if the east African federation project succeeds

Okay having tried this out, this is the stumbling block I personally had, and might be worth warning people about. When Kenya flipped Independent... the UK was entirely unable to put down the revolt in Kenya. Their capital ended up on that mountain port province of Mombasa. The UK troops were well out of supply and they decided to just poke at the Kenyans (with 3 Infantry divisions fully equipped and full morale) with just one division at a time. It ended up in an eternal stalemate of the UK being completely unable to push the final victory point they needed, and the Kenyans understandably being unable to push out the about 11 (admittedly out of supply but fully equipped) British units surrounding them. Bit of a flub there for me. Not sure if it was just bad luck or when I timed it so the UK was unable/unwilling to actually do something about it, or if I need to join the Allies merely so I can build the supply hub there for them or what.

It feels like a lot happened with this DLC, but also nothing much at the same time

The useless industrial focuses will get changed into 35 days instead of 70 in the next patch.

Welcome back!

Hope to see a video in the future of you controlling the African continent

Hi @Bitt3rSteel and fellow players, this still works but you have to go for the 'Towards african unity' focus to unlock decisions that will force the colonial power in question to white peace the african nations and have them join your faction. It costs 100pp per country and seems to be a bit random, id say like 40% chance of just saying no. if they do say no, youll get a choice to join their war and they join your faction or taking a 5% stab hit and leaving them to it. Id also be conscious that if you prepare resistance, you do have a limited time to send the guns as the decision will expire so the first 1 or 2 nations you may have to just hope they dont capitulate before you get the unity focus. They likely wont but i would recommend going straight for the african unity focus straight after 'support Anti-colonialist resistance' focus. You do need to be a bit lucky with RNG to get uganda and kenya to white peace as you can then kick them from faction and eat them. Good luck you beautiful Achievements whores!

I wouldn’t mind seeing the final product of the Africa Focus

Question, how did you manage to hire more units as you fought? Since I am also playing as Ethiopia currently, also went with Emperor Stays path, and I could not make any extra units save those I got from focusses, like the Arab and Congolese mercenaries. I also could not lend lease from the Brits or Turks ( tried to befriend them) because it said world tension was not high enough. I eventually managed to drive out the Italians, but now im kinda stuck wondering what to do next, with practically non-existant factories, at peace with everyone, its currently 1939, so on tech im also quite behind due to the corrupt bureaucracy. Any tips to this HoI4 noob would be welcome :D

I think the new mechanics with Italy leave them weaker or at least make it take longer for the AI to ramp up, which means more of the fighting is left to Germany. AI Germany simply can't produce enough planes, tanks and infantry equipment to hold out for very long, so if they get bogged down someplace it really messes them up.

1° I would like you to make a guide for "Bad Romance" on BBA. 2° I discovered that you can catch Dijubti simply by improving relations with France. 3° I think you can get Lion King and Crusaders Kings 4 in the same play 4° For the Lion King it is not necessary the regions to the northeast of Ethiopia, simply the regions to the south that are part of the United Kingdom. So Djibouti and the other region is optional.

I have to admit I was really curious about the rebellion plan and if you were going to go for it when this started. Mostly because I found them... incredibly frustrating and near useless. Because the game starts with the UK having 100% compliance in the areas. And the lowest you get by those decisions/actions is like 60 Compliance. Which is still too high to realistically foster any sort of rebellion. Which was clearly just a failure on my part on timing it and realizing what I needed to properly do. The only one I got to flip myself was Djibouti because the Vichy/Free France swap over meant it reset to zero compliance and decided to rebel and join me.

@DmitrijKudriavcev

Жыл бұрын

You have to send guns to them at the right moment. If rebellion is over 60, sending guns adds another 30 and it instantly starts an uprising. However, if you start a rebellion and then buy the land from the France, the rebellion debuf is still on and this land can uprise against youm

Yeah I found it out since then but it can require some tight timing for the bigger would be break away nations like Egypt. Like you have to do Egypt just perfectly timed to get everything up to the right threshold to revolt or one state will be just too stable to break away. Same issue the Polish have with the Warsaw Uprising event. It was hard to get all of Poland in a proper state of resistance to trigger it because it couldn't JUST be Warsaw, it had to be all of occupied Poland.

If you're concerned about supply consumption it's likely better to take GBP over Mass Assault. If you go down the left side of Mass Assault sure, you can get a total of 20% supply consumption reduction once you're deep into the tree (which you won't be as Ethiopia for a long time), but it has very few other bonuses for a nation like Ethiopia. Grand Battleplan has 15% (5% of which you can get immediately with the army spirit), and soft attack, breakthrough, defense, command power gain... I dunno, seems like a no-brainer to me.

Despite PDX changed the white peace events, you can do the achievement as described. Just do the transafrican focus first, then free the states via the anticolonial mechanics and you will get a decision to ask the former colonialist-state to confirm the independence. If confirmed ( much RNG involved), the new state will be independent in your faction. Kick it from your faction, declare war and annex it. Of not confirmed, you can go to war to help or do nothing and loose some war support. Not perfect, but doable.

I still support a re-work of that the Ethiopians should have an option to buy the land from the allies say in return for a War Declaration event on the European Axis powers. Ethiopia is still too weak to fight the Allies without the use of Cheese tactics. Dont get me wrong I love me some cheese but it is not the style everyone wants to play as and if they want people to play Ethiopia more then i think that should be implemented. it is good to see though that they are fixing the 70 days to 35 days for the industry but I still think more is needed to be done
