Always nice to see when a guy like BitterSteel almost creates his own disaster save. Makes me feel less bad about when it happens to me constantly.

When you're a Costa Rican storming Berlin bc your leader declared war on Mexico several years earlier

[@rogofos]

one thing I love about Victoria 3 is that unlike hoi4 it actually spreads attention more evenly across the world there are unique events and stuff for the new world nations other than US Mexico is genuinely so fun

[@zulpi2103]

Doesn't En Union Y Libertad have a Costa Rica focus tree? You could have made this so much more fun for yourself. Same with the Colombia one.

[@Bitt3rSteel]

Maybe, I wanted to just try the form able nation for this run

[@ultrajorge]

Noooooo the generic focus tree is the most fun

[@disasterratio1388]

Nope, only south america and by the way the are adding ecuador and vezuela focus tree. I believe that will be the last update to that mod

A little tip to alleviate your manpower woes: when you take enemy territory you get a small amount of non-core manpower. The issue is that your occupation law uses up more than you gain. However, if you were to ask for garrison manpower from a populous nation (e.g. India) it will prioritize their manpower netting you all of that sweet non-core manpower. Bonus points for getting a Prince of Terror advisor which gives you an extra 2% non-core manpower. Using this method you can gain a lot of extra manpower. Just don't think too much about the implications of drafting your conquered foes into your army.

As someone who had played a lot of central America I have one thing to say, never underestimate Mexico lol. Modded? Vanilla? Doesn't matter, when i get to mexico (or they got to me) that's when shit hit the fan

[@beepfd]

Mexico really does ramp up in the mid game, they have a really strong focus tree and the industry builds up quick after 1939

Petition for bittersteel to do tannu Tuva world conquest 👇

[@anoobnoduhgaming9416]

@tokul76 no he did Siberian tiger, not world conquest

[@Thermonnuclear]

A another wing for naval invasions, you can just select a few units. Let’s say 3, add the naval invasion, and press the naval invasion order button again, select the next units for the invasion and select the naval invasion order again and once assigned press the button again. The units will be assigned without having to go and control click each unit on the order. Hope that made sense

[@cmhoax6951]

I will sadly admit it took tens of hours to learn how to properly plan naval invasions. It may take longer to plan out but instead of sitting there forever waiting you can launch almost instantly

[@mappingteacher]

Your content is amazing, don't stop!

[@M0ri4r]

Why on earth did I think doing the same achievements as Bittersteel could be a good idea ? The hell exists and it leads to the Paradox's premises. Thanks for the series its great (and painfull at the same time, I just did the pope all in one run after several restart)

[@blazerayanami5979]

Nice! Really looking forward to your next A-to-Z video cause I think my country is next

[@pablo_escanor1681]

Perhaps you could use the “jazzy generic focus trees” mod next time, it doesn’t alter the game too much however it nonetheless makes it a lot less repetitive and more enjoyable to play

About Concentrated Industry. There are videos about the math behind it, and you realy never want to choose comcentrated. It takes like 2 years before comcentrated produces the same amount as dispersed and you dont get the bombing bonuses. Andwhen you seitch to newer weapons it becomes even worse. Sadly dispersed is much better.

Costa Rica is great again! I mean, sure, the whole adult male population died in Italy and France, but the country is great! I mean, sure, the whole adult female population is now basically serving in the navy, but the country is great! I mean, sure, the whole child population is now working in the factories, but the country is great! I mean, sure, the whole retired population is now working every other, non yet filled job, but the country is great!

Hi BitterSteel I have a video request its kinda like this but can you use a mod like a modern mod like millennium or The Great War? Or just a mod that expands the focus tree of every nation? Also love your video keep up the good work!

Regarding your rant to the viewers about the whole “double independence guarantee means the US stays out”, also historically about right. The “US guarantees the Americas” thing represents the Monroe Doctrine, which only applies to *foreign* interference. It says nothing about the Americas cannibalizing each other.

[@whitezombie10]

Yeah but if a communist nation started destabilising South America and taking all of it the Americans would most likely intervene to “maintain the balance” and “protect the victims of foreign aggression” so they won’t have to deal with a powerful communist neighbour
