I love the magical polar opposites of paradox dlc. You have the South american dlc, where it just makes the most overpowered nations. Then, the la resistance dlc added the espionage part of the game no one wanted.

[@SubtotalStar850-uh8pg]

But it's basically unplayable without colab governments, at least it's the reason I won't quit games when I'm supposed to fight the Soviets anymore. Spies have a lot of good uses though and they do help the game. I just wish that they were more gamey

I don’t care if you have to strap it to a rocket-powered grenade or bribe it with cheese laced with combustible lemons. Just GET. THE. RAT. BACK.

I don’t care if this Spider-Man is shooting webs or solving world hunger, Aperture Science doesn’t waste time on capes and tights. We build real solutions, not hunt down freelance photographers. Now, if you’re done swinging around with your Spider-Man obsession, I’ve got a real problem to solve, the rat! not pictures of some masked acrobat. So here’s the deal, Jameson, drop the Spider-Man nonsense and get those lab boys working on getting the rat back. And before you try pitching another headline. Chariots. Chariots. Cave Prime out.

Worst part is raising resistance used to be viable before PDX decided the AI needed to learn how to use different occupation laws. Not to mention it broke a ton of foci that rely on raising resistance to trigger quick rebellions like for Ethiopia. Same with reintroducing the same mechanic again in ToA for certain nations.. downright impossible to do without first manually raising resistance now to offset the giant -X% resistance whenever they change law.

As a new hoi4 player ( actually have had the game for awhile now, but only just recently had gotten into it ). I have around 500hrs so far, And honestly? I absolutely hate the Spy Agency BS. So much so, I went to play HOI4 without all the DLC, and had a much better time there. Of course, having to actually garrison the occupied territories ain't fun, but its something. Overall, it wasn't really that bad. Plus, all you had to do was click a button to boost whatever ideology and coup. Simple as that. With the Spy dlc stuff, you gotta do so much extra bs, I hardly ever even use it fairly ( meanin, I tend to use the console to save me the pain and suffering from it ). I know people will prolly frown on me for using the console to cheat the Spy agencies, but tbh? Do any of you actually enjoy it? If so, good for you. I sure don't. End rant. Anyways, love the videos ISP! Since I recently started to play HOI4 ( my first HOI game actually ), I have been watching you, Bitt3rSteel, and Alex the Rambler a lot. Gained a lot of knowledge about the game. I love how cursed you can make the world lmfao. Much respect from the USA.
