Based grandpa

A bit of history, in the late 1800 Chile started colonizing western Patagonia and Araucanía, then a frenchman Orelie Antoine claimed that if they made him king france would send aid, hearing this Chile ordered an imediate invasion, Antoine was arrested and tried as a madman, trough french mediation he was set free, he returned to Araucanía trying to become king again but Chile had enough of him and put out a bounty on his head, Orelie fled to France where his decendents still claim Araucanía

Turning Chile into a French Kingdom. Now this is a path in the focus tree that is going to be fun.

The decision is not bugged it's Pardox finally revealing their true opinion on the natural borders of France

The reason why Chile has the Prussian hat as their division icon is because in 1880s to the 1900s Chilean soldiers were trained in Prussian tactics and weapons, plus with a large amount of German immigration during that time it made Chile very influenced by Prussia It's even still seen today where the Chilean parades march like Prussian soldiers

"Wait...it's all France?" "Always has been."

Forming France as Chile is Kaiserredux type shit and I love it

Protect the war baby

You now have to play as War Baby one time.

Even if paradox wasn't going to allow you to core africa, you could still get algeria because it WAS considered mainland france from 1848 to 1962 and france gets cores on them in game.

6:40 fun fact that whole situation is in Victoria 3 as an event, the event pops up when playing as Chile or Argentina; obviously you can ignore the whole thing and continue colonizing Araucanía/Patagonia but you also have the choice to recognize Antoine as king and them becoming a centralized nation in exchange of them becoming your puppet

The Paths of Chile are very rare, for example the Mapuche does not make much sense since Chile has always been a very anti-indigenous country, in fact the government even subsidized European immigrants during the 19th century to eliminate indigenous identity.

As a puertomontinian (idk how to say that xD) see my country with the colours of my city, using the Ibáñez coup and invading Argentina was incredibly fun. But it doesn't make sense. Mapuche path should be more like the anarchist path from spain and Ibañez had more decisions and events to the government representing the decrees in a military government

Paradox gives youtubers the DLC early to generate some hype and boost sales. They also use youtubers as a semi-bugtester where youtubers can report bugs and Paradox says they'll be patched before release. Issue with that though is that a extensive plethora of bugs still exist in the final product. This is a focus tree addon and adds no new features/content other than the focuses. Mods like RT56 and En Unión y Libertad do what Paradox attempts here but better with limited manpower and a significantly lower/non-existant budget and gives it to the players for free and not charge $15. TLDR: Paradox is just EA but for strategy games.

Actually, this has an historicall explanation and its not just because yes, in 1860 i think, a frenchman called Orelie Antonie de tounens came to the patagonia (which in those times, it wastn colonized) claimed it Terra Nullis and established the kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia, in 1862 the chilean goverment make an incursion inside the kingdom and arredted antonie, he died in france around 1870's After that, persons not aligned with antonie claimed the kingdom, and one of those where the "antonie" that we se here, and actually he is "antonie" III

I find it hilarious that the path thats supposed to represent France is the path where you core the entire world EXCEPT for France!

That was one hell of a fun ride

The longest boi has returned.

24:40 there is so much pain in the voice that you can actually feel Steels disappointment

the title of king of patagonia still exists to this day but the current king is not a direct descendent and uses the title as a mapuche right platform so in the end it's a wholesome thing

Wow, that's a bit of history on Chile I had no knowledge of.

Next video I'd like see you play Chile like a baby ahahah

“ OMG it’s adorable why am I not playing as WAR BABY! “

He is definitely gonna do a war baby playthrough.

"Why am I not playing as War Baby" That cracked me up

Chile is actually really strong now. A good construction based economy tree, tons of advisors to lower consumer factories and good advisors for other things like suppression. Poor manpower, factory slots to compensate. Lots of resources too all things considered

Wait, I started a coup in Chile? Hold up! 😂

Any chance we'll see aircraft deskpads? Fw190, BF109, P-47, something like that? ;)

found out that if you do "integrate the Mexican realm" you get cores on all Mexican cores, this means if Mexico gets more cores, this decision will give you those cores too.

So the French guy historically was crowned king of the Mapuche tribes and not Chile. So why is he not in the Mapuche focus tree line?

imagine playing France and not beign able to get your colonies as a core but some chilean guy can...

Well I don't like cheap destroyers, yes you can produce a lot of them but I'm in battle they will be destroyed so I'm making them stronger, yes they expensive but they will do a lot of damage and have a lot more victories and but I recommend to do with nations with developing navy like Germany. And you know what I sunk half of Royal navy but came with the cost to build more dockyards

2:55 "everything about Chile sucks and that's why it has to become France..." As a French I wouldn't recommend to become France to suck less economically and social wise. You would be disappointed

Oh sure, Chile can claim Quebec, the UK can core North America, but France can't even recore New France. Sure, Paradox. Sure.

So I guess the next video is going to be War Baby?
