Love the videos! I've been learning a lot about the game and I love your commentary :)

hello friend how are you? thank you so much these videos are big help

Fantastic series. I'd be interested to see how you would play this now. The skills I've picked up watching this playthrough have made my campaign so much more interesting.

France joining the danish-Prussian war happens almost every time i play, so it was kids expected by me.

0:15 Yeah not unlikely at all!

Give us Episode 4 since it's 2024? Also, try the country pack DLC. Maybe even some of the mods?

Hello? You there?

The additional information you share on the auto manufacture history is really interesting. Really enjoying the series.

After seeing the French Olympics, I can agree to this one

You did not sink any Marines. You got the CVN, 2 Ticonderoga class Aegis cruisers and 2 destroyers plus their underway supply ship. Well I have to clarify. The 5 Navy ships would have had Marine detachments of various sizes with the carrier having the most. So you sunk those guys. Altogether maybe 2 companies worth.

They messed with our boats. Never, ever mess with our boats. Ask Japan... ☠😃

What a great series!

Wind direction is always FROM. In the tropics (northern Hemisphere) the shallow easterlies at surface are year around.

Henry Ford's politics aside, having a bunch of undamaged Ford parts (and plants) in a city you plan to capture is a real prize. I would assume that factored into the target planning.

really enjoying this series, although i dont understand everything, but watching the previous 4 episodes so far has really got me wanting to play this game and see what i can do with the country lol looking forward to watching the rest of the series, and i'll end up buying the console version of this before too long.

37:00 looks like game developer already tried to do this feature, so missiles will reach targets simultaneously, but its broken. Or, it is ordering of targets you've chosen breaks logic

NO wonder the radar pinged that ship its huge!!!!

Let's hope this scenario doesn't happen the way the other one did.

5:30 worst thing about any paradox game is always the UI

i think you are going to have to re-evaluate all this now lol

Seriously it did age well kaboing if they knew then ..

Awesome

Could you do an Italy playthrough next?

Great Series SSG!!!! it was extremly interesting to see it all! Tks a lot!

There's something amusing seeing the the Soviets push almost the gates of Warsaw, while the Western Allies are celebrating their victory in the streets of Berlin. I'm just having way too much fun imagining all the ramifications of this in the Pacific Theater and Post-War.

Jesus this video came out like a month before the war. Fucking premonition.

Yo, are ya still here? If so.... Play as Italy in Democracy 4?

Please do a US Campaign!

great Series up to now! great job in this amazing but difficult game. It is strange to me that you are still not using Foggia for your airplanes because it was and still is the biggest military airport in southern italy

Why would you not just play "Point Blank Directive" scenario which is air only no ground phase?

pay attention to red (bad ones) situtaions such as Doctors Strike (very bad red situation that needs to be dealt with ASAP), Hospital Overcrowding (this likely occurs with Doctors Strike as well), Uncompetitive Economy, Corporate Exodus (another very bad one as well needs to be dealt with too), looks like Spain has Rail Strike as well!!! I'm not saying red situations in the Law & Order area since it's common in Democracy games

03/04/2024 What happens when they install the S-400 Systems in certain sympathetic regions of Moldavia and above Kiev in Belorussia??

There is a video game Iron Storm which depicts this universe, when Ungern took over the majority of Eurasia and created a new civilization.

I've only worked my way through to episode 25 so far but I wanted to say thanks for the series and that I hope you make another one.

Wait a minute, you can't move into the Baltics due to some agreements with the Soviets? I call shenanigans, if you were to push into that sector at the rate you were going, the Western Allies would have the higher negotiation power in this situation.

Considering how successful you've been in this campaign (basically liberating almost all of France by July 1st 1944, not to mention the gains in the Italian front), I'm honestly curious to how different the post-war situation would be considering that you probably beat the Soviets to Berlin and have gains in the Balkans.

An interesting statistic I learned a while back was that the Luftwaffe loss/damage rate was around ~54% by January of 1944-which is really bad-and by June of 1944 that rate increased to ~96.3%-which is just completely, utterly, and unfathomably, disastrous and terrible. So I'd say they're getting properly as screwed over in this game, too.

I'm pretty sure the Italian campaign as whole in your game is a humiliating defeat for Germany, tbh.

First week of 1944 for the Allied air forces in England, and they've really been working double time in order to make for lost time in preparation for the Normandy landings. The Luftwaffe got completely owned by P-47s, P-38s, P-51s, Spitfires, and Mosquitos.

12:50 And this is why I have the firm belief that the fighter that contributed the most in breaking the Luftwaffe's back (at least for the USAAF) was the P-47 Thunderbolt.

I feel like Spitfire Mk. Vs and Mosquitos aren't an optimal choice for air superiority missions over Western Europe, especially when large amounts of Fw-190s are roaming about. Newer Spitfires, Typhoons, Merlin-equipped P-51s, P-47Ds, and P-38s seem more suited for the task at +20k feet. Also might be a good idea to have different altitudes for the fighters, too.

Kaliningrad is a city in Russia, the administrative center of the Kaliningrad Region, which is the westernmost regional center of the Russian Federation[7]. Until July 4, 1946, the city was named Konigsberg (German: Königsberg), previously the name Korolevets (Polish. Królewiec, lit. Karaliaučius); before 1255 - Twangste (Prussian. Twangste, Tuwangste, Twanksta, lit. Tvanksta).

Stop drinking alcohol.

I think you're a little drunk, no offense. What is not reflected in the reports

"This is the second winter that Europe spends without Russian gas. The fact that there is a precedent now - the winter of 2022-2023, which passed without any problems, helps calm the nerves of traders," said Kim Fustier, head of European oil and gas research at HSBC Holdings.

I learned more on how to play this game by watching your video than I have reading the manual and guessing my way through 64 hours of play. Thanks!
