Just FYI Mr. Steel: Army defense does NOT suck! It also applies to the breakthrough of your divisions, so it can be very useful on the offense.

Whilst in reality, Germany finished paying reparations for the first World War, in like 2017-2019 and they're just starting to pay the reparations for WW2 and there was/is negotiations for them to pay for Italian and Greek reparations ad well. So, in real life, Germany is the only country to have paid thoroughly for wars they didn't start.

I love that Germany decided to fight you over Jordan of all places

if u want a hard challenge then here you go 1.start as mengukuo 2.do the part of the focus tree which makes you stay with the japanese 3.break off and declare war on the japanese between 1945 and 1950, but you must have already finished off all Japanese enemies 4.survive till 1960 rules:no cheesing, you can't do a step before the other, play it in hoi4 with all DLCs active and no mods active

when you gonna play with switzerland for 4 achivements in 1 game? btw congratulations for 100k subs and verified channel :)

Hey Bitter have a video idea play as any nation but you must mainly use light tanks with a minimum speed on 8kph. You also can only add lights tanks with wheels or half tracks. You are not allowed to build towed AA or AA tanks or half track/wheeled tanks.

Irregulars doesn't cost you or your puppet anything. Some Irregulars have terrain bonusses similar to special forces. I don't think there is any disadvantage about them. Most of them are best used in desert, forest or mountain IIRC. Their equipment is also just created, so aside from free manpower, a freely trained unit, you get the manpower free (or in this case your puppet) and you get the equipment for free. You do reinforce them with actual MP and Eq, which is why you best use them where they're stronged or otherwise on guard duty.

Try the qing empire great war redux but with the sub mod that ad a bigger focus three is a good challenge for you

Can you pls do the persian empire that would be great can‘t find a newer guide on it

I love to see the evolution of bittersteel the first Macedonian empire video was like and hour and 12 mins. This one is about 40 mins

When you think about, it if Alexander had any hiers (Correct me if he did) they, though his splitting of the Gordian knot, would have a claim to the entirety of Asia! Not that anyone would let that be the case of course...
