I have a tip regarding the Portugal focus (restore the Iberian union) to make this even more effective: - Don't start the focus early on - Declare war on Portugal the traditional way when you can (world tension over 50%) - Puppet them after your victory - Choose the focus (restore the Iberian union) now - Since they are your Puppet they will accept the Union and you get Portugal as core territory

[@giancocastillo6423]

[@markselby9352]

When do you declare war on them?

excellent video. The carlist civil war went completely different from how I did it a while back. I almost feel like trying it again ;-) Spain is a very interesting nation, after all

[@Bitt3rSteel]

I very much enjoy playing Spain, I just wish the Republican path had more options to deal with Russia

[@I_want_White_Cheddar_Popcorn]

Like 99% of its focus tree is focused on the civil war though, the rest, its very minor stuff, but holy sht, the anarchist Spain is OP if they win, simply because they can get cores on literally every state in the game, EVERY STATE

[@oktilian1873]

I think that a guide to the kingdom of Franco-Spain would be a fine adition to this video

[@mlgsty8880]

Its really easy tbh, just rush the correct monarchy and choose Intervention in Spanish civil war. You must be in Legitimist Alliance with Carlists before choosing to intervene in there tho. Then just beat rest of Spain down with ease and wait for Carlists to start coring their terrritory and after that you can pick the focus to annex Spain.

[@sososgosmacko]

Its buggy, i tried and i couldnt do the focus, because carlist spain never rose up. You need the 4 way civil war to realy utilize the bourbon France tree which is realy annoying. And you get no cores on Spain or any bonuses. Britain invites you to the allies, but kicks you out randomly. Its fun, because you get a better eco then the republican France but still too weak to realy hold off the Germans if you are unlucky.

[@thenewcaesar2668]

@@sososgosmacko not really buggy. Carlists didn’t revolt irl so historical focuses must be off. Also the cores come only when the carlists core all of Spain with the compliance requirements. Britain likely kicks you out because of the world tension you have generated.

[@smlfan0072]

@@sososgosmacko cores come in when the leader of carlist Spain is also Alphonse, who should also be the leader of France.

[@rps215]

You can only core Spain as France only if Carlist Spain spawns. They will not spawn in historical most of the time because Spain always goes Franco. The only way to get them to spawn is if you are very lucky and manage to send some volunteers early and prevent the Nationalists from capturing Pais Vasco or Burgos before they can take the focus Fuse the Parties, and they are usually able to secure Pais Vasco early because the Republicans usually do a very poor job at defending it. If they indeed spawn, you cannot join in the fun too early either. If you join in the war (not send volunteers) before you switch ideology, you will be joining the Republicans instead.

the rng on the carlist breakaway always hoses me. End up with my army instantly encirled in 5 places scattered across the map. Just can't seem to finish off the republicans fast enough even following this guide.

[@bashmanahmet]

Hey man I just had this achievement but with slight different strategy. After landing to UK, I rushed the VP's and cut the british army into two but stopped in front of London and let the underequipped British army bash against my army. They suffered massive casualties and therefore I had like %33-34 warscore by the time I decided to end the war. In the peace deal I took all the coastal provinces of France + provinces which borders Germany and therefore preventing the AI from taking whats left in between. After that I took out Vichy France 1 vs 1 and got the achievement. It all ended in May 1940.

[@aaronbaker3861]

This brings back nostalgia to when I stumbled across your first carlist Spain video on reddit awhile back. This channel has grown so much since then

[@mikkelsrensen5397]

It would be so cool if you could do a micro mangement guide, i have problem following your guides where micro mangement is a part of the battles :D

Awesome videos, you've helped me get a couple of challenging achievements by now! An idea for coastal encirclements; the ai quite often will try to escape pockets by sea, I let them and set up localised and temporary early submarine 'bathtub' spam to catch the troops out, saves good combat equipment (hurts supply even if they don't attempt to relocate also)

The Italians get Victor as their king due to the “Assassinate Mussolini” focus, when Paradox designed that, they made it simple for themselves and just made Victor the default for Non-Aligned Italy. While the German Non-Aligned leaders are all event spawned, (most likely due to their rather insane buffs, while with Victor, you get his stuff regardless)

[@mlgsty8880]

I hate spanish civil wars rng when you play as off-shoot factions that have rng to their spawning like Falangists and Carlists. Anarchists are fine since they always spawn to coast to specific place. I had so many games fail because half my army was encircled upon spawning in.

[@andatwsk2810]

idk I just used the Army of Africa to make a breakthrough state by state after removing debuff unplaned offensive and you'll never get encircled

You don't need to assign troops to a naval invasion order for it to start preparing. In fact, you can prepare more naval invasions than you can assign units to. You could have 1,000 naval invasion orders all prepared at once if you wanted. I use that all of the time.

Wtf....I did my best civil war win as Carlistas by Dec 37. Took Portugal and finished the focus tree as you suggested. Declared war on France to help Germany. Had my Army of 24 shock divisions ready to invade UK....and nothin until August 41. Could not get naval supremacy until then so sent an Army in late 39 to help Italy secure Suez and down to Ethiopia, even managing to get up to 14% war score. But invasion of UK was so late could not capitulate them (surrender limit was down to 25%) and USA joined Allies after Japan attacked Philippines. Thus UK troops got worn down and beaten back. So frustrating thanks to RNG. Dammit.

Hello. Just wondering, for somebody just buying this game which DLCs would be the most necessary to play the game properly? Thanks to anyone answering.

[@flateric-man5759]

The British dlc introduces the puppet system Wich is really useful along with a really good focus tree for the UK. La resistance Introduces a spy agency Which is required for most guides. No step back is also very good because of the tree.

[@fem530]

Is it a lar mechanics for vichy not to join axis? And not get their old land?

[@Bitt3rSteel]

They join eventually, if left alone. At the end of their focus tree, they can become a full axis member and ask Germany for their old land. Or they join the Axis when the USA declares on them (Operation Torch). Their land in Africa is handled with border war mechanics with the UK since LAR
