Can FRANCE Survive? Extending the Maginot Line with Stronghold Networks!

[@obiwankenobi833]

I think you got the factory strikes because you revoked the matignon agreement

[@Curtwhogames]

Ah shit makes sense, thought that was a rubbish agreement for me 😂

[@vivolimo1137]

Yes I think you can get rid of matignon if you have 80% stab or more

[@phyraa_ftn]

@@vivolimo1137no you can only revoke it without strike from 1938, it has nothing to do with stab

[@Hellhaunter66]

@@phyraa_ftn you can also revoke it without strike if you have over 60% are support and at war *edit* this is very rare that this occurs before 1938 anyway

[@Vodacera]

if you revoke it any time before Jan 1st '38 you get strikes

[@hero007ification]

This sounds like an amazing idea for Albania run, every man a bunker!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="232">3:52</a> If you can afford the IC for a 2nd facility, it's not that terrible. The change was more made to stop someone like the Soviets or Americans from building like 6 of each facility so they could bumrush projects. The halved breakthrough progress of a 2nd facility is still helpful, but more importantly, it lets you research two projects in parallel (provided you have the breakthroughs to do so), and if one facility is busy with a project, the second one will contribute the full .10% breakthrough progess instead of half. So again, not as good as it used to be, but a 2nd facility isn't useless.

[@alexcovey1200]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="307">5:07</a> the matigon agreement is what prevents strikes.😅😅😅

[@royale7620]

Just play national government, 10x better

[@josephlankester7818]

The strikes have a chance to occur per tick/month/dunno? until 1st jan 1938. They won’t occur while Matignon agreements are in effect. Definitely prefer right side, think they can still happen though if your stability is too low.

[@alexcovey1200]

@josephlankester7818 yeah. But I play historical mp france alot. I'm a brit and I make it a challenge ge to see how quickly I can cap.

[@Phantlos]

You have to keep the matignon agreement untill 1938 to prevent the facotry strikes.

[@nemthefearless]

Of the new wonder weapons, France seems to be able to get Jet Fighters earliest, since it can boost 1940 FTR with only two focuses that aren't gated by anything. I managed to have about 200 out by Christmas 39 but it was late 1940 before I had enough of them (and enough air doctrine) to start causing real harm to the Luftwaffe

[@Hellhaunter66]

quick tip for fortress france, the ai doesnt like to attack a fort higher than lvl 7 with more than 1 division on it. you can abuse this however you please

[@Clemdauphin]

like other said, you got the strike event because you revoked the matignon agreement. folowing huge strikes early 1936, it garantize workers right, such as the right to unionize or be on strike, signed the 7 june 1936. later the 21 was sign the creation of "convention colective" and of paid vacation day, and the 40h work week. it is a big deal still nowday, and mark a big victory for the french left.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="446">7:26</a> research bonuses that you obtain mid-research can be applied, you just have to switch off of the tech and then switch back to it to have the bonus applied!

[@Curtwhogames]

Good to know!

[@ildivinojonathan3167]

I recently found your channel It’s amazing Keep on with the great job your doing

[@Curtwhogames]

Thank you, welcome aboard!

[@oblivionpb7952]

Now that you have left this game off here, you should do a challenge and play as Germany in its current situation where you left off the video

[@Bananamanmk53-yv2ph]

You should totally do Tibet CAS only run, trust. Also you have gained a sub m8

[@KaiRandrupThomsen]

If this was in real life i think maybe the germans would have gone through the swiss (If Spain was in a greater state and they joined axis maybe through spain)

[@glauberglousger956]

Problem is, that it's just as hard as going through the Maginot, maybe even harder

[@muratcayrl9356]

It would have been harder than going through the Maginot line...

[@Lionheart-mg7qf]

It’s very mountainous and the Swiss already had some fortified positions. Not to mention France would send troops to protect them from Germany and Italy

[@kabobawsome]

Even if the Germans made it through the heavily reinforced Swiss Alps, by the time they had achieved that, the French would have been able to extend their fortifications to cover the Swiss border. The real answer is they would have just turned to trying to bomb the hell out of it.

[@AzulSora]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a> I've done it a few times in personal playthroughs, it usually ends with me losing because Britain chickens out but I have both won and seen the Rhineland remilitarization be cancelled due to Germany backing down(surprisingly)

[@davemiller638]

I've never had Germany declare on me when I hadn't deleted my army and refused Rhineland

[@AzulSora]

@@davemiller638 That's odd... Germany usually declares if Britain doesn't back me(which they usually don't)

[@yourswedishgripen]

World conquest with Croatia but you start only with the part of Croatia you can release with Italy

[@TheKonkaman]

Revoking the matiganon agreement gives you the strike events 🤣

[@glauberglousger956]

First thing I did with the new DLC before even playing the new focuses Using only the 74 starting divisions to hold off Germany, doing only the economy focuses on the left and fortification ones Also max AA

[@bramsturk619]

I would actually be interested to see this video play out!!

[@kaancesur-19]

I once went for little entente to play just like you did unfortunately oster conspiracy fired and germany had a civil war before any fight happened

[@systrop]

Its pretty fun to early war germany over rhineland and the civil war isnt too too hard to beat, just found ur channel some time ago and its really good

[@macaroon_nuggets8008]

You can cancel a research (it saves the time) and then grab the bonus to reapply it.

[@4bad2u]

Underrated channel very good content, also I would recommend capitalising the first letters of the other words in your channel name, it stands out more.

[@Curtwhogames]

Thank you! Good advice!

[@4bad2u]

@ it looks a lot better and stands out more, keep up the good work man!

[@Steven-ly9ei]

my friend did once, britain abandoned him, and the commies sided with germany and whooped his ass, one of his first games bless him 🤣

[@boghuhn4952]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="179">2:59</a> sounds like a really interesting video idea

[@DoppellG]

really like ur channel its awesome

[@Curtwhogames]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@omegaexists]

Denying Rhineland is the best Napoleon path imo. I usually do it

[@SquidPartyNeo]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="169">2:49</a> I actually did this once when I was new to the game like over 2 years ago, Germany is weak early on so it’s actually the easiest way to get the little entente achievement (have you or even an ally iirc in your faction control all German states after doing the Little Entente focus), just reset in case Germany backs down

[@SquidPartyNeo]

Also I’d argue it’s even easier in the current patch cause the entire border is demilitarized now, allowing you to rush soldiers into Baden as well when the war starts

[@unknowguy9642]

Can you re-try this scenario but declare war on everyone? I think that will be even more of a test compare to this You could take wait longer to prepare everything, like get synthetic rubber so you dont have to trade and garison in case of naval landing

[@의무병1942]

I just calculated the death ratio between France verses the Axis by the numbers at the end of the video, and if I'm not mistaken, for every one Frenchmen died , 142 men died on the axis side. What a number..

[@KevinZhou-p6x]

Almost always, ai won't attack forts above level 5, so if you want to dry their manpower don't level up after 5 or 4, and your units will earn more experience.

[@bepsi6204]

world conquest only using starting divisions?

[@Философ]

as Luxembourg no less

[@williambrennan104]

Refusing the Rhineland and going to war is actually the best strategy for beating Germany as France on historical (or was before Gotterdammerung, at least).

[@GianmarcoTomao]

Request:Comunist-monarch Romania

[@FireFox60021]

wtf LOL good idea

[@Curtwhogames]

Didnt even know that was a thing! il add it to the list!

[@GianmarcoTomao]

​The idea come from Mountain General KZbin channel

[@deathstalker549]

Want to point out germany cant do around the maginot if they are at peace with france

[@Tsuruchi_420]

"Soviet union changed their diplomatic status with us to declare war" Historical game

[@kirkwells5134]

If you get rid of Malignon agreements before 1938 you get strikes. The political instability debuff disappears once you hit 70% stability. Worker shortages happen after picking extended conscription unless you either get "Foreign Guest Workers" or "Encourage Immigration" focuses.

[@valentindelouere1258]

You should play with France Expanded !

[@jonathaslopes8038]

Can you play the Red Dusk mod?

[@joshua6287]

Looking forward to you doing black ice Poland

[@dzianisgaming1198]

when it comes to opposing Rhineland the Germany always backs down and you don't go to war and it also delays Germany by I think a year so you have additional year to prepare for the war

[@muratcayrl9356]

Game looks so different in the scenario that France doesn't collapse in the early game.

[@rosalbafuda447]

Can you try the Mothership run? 😁
