You had to go and do it... Communist Byzantium... Its a brilliant campaign though and really nice editing! Learned a thing or two as well, so I might put that to use in a more beginner friendly version of this ;-)

wow, byzantinum in 1941. when i was playing it i had so much struggle with germany and i got it in 1944 or so? nice editting and maybe i will try this strat :)

Man your strategies are something else, love your content.

woah great upgrade for editing, well done!

wonderfull work thank you for video

I did this but It was an accident. I restored the byzantium then I declared war on Soviet Union but unfortunately I lost the war because I completely forgot the Caucasian front. Then they puppeted me and I became the Communist Byzantine (Empire?).

This was both cursed and beautiful at the same time. I would really like to see your take on Communist China in the current version of the game.

Nice. Instead of licences you can also just temporarily trade for ressources. After you changed the law just cancel the imports.

I actually tried that directly before doing the licenses, and it didn't work. It appears PDX patched that particular exploit

Oh and btw, when you cheesed Total Mob with those licenses i was already pointing out that you shouldn't forget those because that totally never happened to me (forest brothers vid)! 😂😂

Lol yeah while i was reviewing the video I thought about that instance as well

​ @Hatlessspider It s kinda impossible now to form full core original Byzantium since Turkish and Romanians provide much more resistance so you cant do the multiple fake faction trick on time anymore. As a result you cant prevent Italy from joining the Axis so as far as you need provinces from all 3 factions you eventually end up fighiting a whole faction alone. In this run you were backed by Soviets. I m eager to see if you manage to fully core an original Byzantium again.

Wow, I never knew that you could get the Levantine Thema cored without Iraq. I don't know why I always thought you need it. Nice job otherwise.

you should try to get adolphus i as emperor of byzantines. im not sure if you can get it legitimately in ironman but ive tried firing the event for it and it didnt work for me. basically i think the way its supposed to work is: hitler loses german civil war and like gets deposed or smth and then theres a small chance if greece is going fasc into byzantines to get adolphus i as an event but iirc its bugged so i believe you have to manually fire the event but even that didnt work when i tried it. youre the only person i can think of good enough and dedicated enough to actually try this but see if you can do it legit and if not try to fire the event manually.

I Like the new editing!!! Is it possible to do communist ottomans?
