I'm still waiting for a real tanks ONLY run. No cheating with trucks, infantry equipment, support equipment, or artillery. No HP allowed.

Screw that, support company only! (with 1 infantry or arty and maybe mods to increase max support companies)

[@Floris_VI]

No military world conquest

[@One_Ch]

Now it’s clear why the USSR collapsed in 1991. Its economy simply could not withstand the launching of the licensed YAMATO

[@delrunplays2903]

And thus Japan's economy stagnated because it was no longer licensing the Yamato.

I would like a "only donated/bought from market weapons" challenge. (Basically a no military production challenge)

next up: can you beat hoi4 with bought equipment only? (i.e. only equipment in your units is bought off the market) EDIT: or just survive as France/Poland/Czechoslovakia until you get decced on and only then start to produce military equipment, but before that just build trains for sale and buy the rest or smth

[@CubeInspector]

Probably not. There's usually not enough and there's never modern tanks or planes

[@Kevik70]

I do want to see this challenge.

[@markdombrovan8849]

@@CubeInspector true, and it usually dries up after ww2 starts. Maybe a better challenge would be then to survive as either France or Poland\Czechoslovakia

[@sheep21]

Yeah this would be pretty awesome

[@bigpoppa1234]

ISP: "I don't have enough factories to make planes". Also ISP: Using 75 factories on AA, Arty, Guns & Support equipment he's already got massive stockpiles of.

[@eviem5658]

I'm picturing Gorbachev dissovling the Union and then immediately getting the news that the first Soviet Yamato has been produced

[@dedelblute3946]

The License mechanic was designed in such a way that you'd think they don't want you to use it. The point of it should be "hey I don't have the research capabilities to unlock this stuff but my allies do so I should just produce the stuff they ALREADY RESEARCHED" but instead you get a debuff for that exact use case and you also get a debuff for just using it at all. Amazing!

[@glauberglousger956]

It's meant to represent realism, but yes, it sucks as a game mechanic (I use it to get nation specific stuff like Pre-Dreadnoughts and Torpedo cruisers, but that's about it... Other than Ross Rifles and Gustavs, and Bob Semples)

November 25, 1991 Gorbachev's office, one month before the dissolution of the USSR. "Good news sir!" ... And from that moment... history unfolded pretty much the exact same way. 15:16

Can't wait for you to revisite the flintlock only challenge, which you will definitely do, right?

[@VanBourner]

12:01 - it will certainly help with igniting the revolution

[@JanJansen985]

Also fun fact the type 88 rifle he gets from the chinese is an old Mauser rifle the germans used and licensed out to the Qing

[@destroyer68175]

It also really helps to do this challenge as the soviets, because then you dont have to use soviet equipment.

[@amn0940]

Now do the same but with stolen schematics. And if you wanna add an extra challenge "you can only steal one schematic (of any kind) per nation"

[@kirby1225]

That would maybe be possible as the US, as that would take forever to get any production going.

The only challenge I can come up with is the imitate Ai challenge. You have to do your best to win whilst still playing like the Ai, throw in a collaboration to have them guess which country you're playing

[@ryansearle6157]

You should do a puppets only challenge where basically you have to rely entirely on your puppets to do everything. Obviously you can still commander their units and whatnot because what would be the point of a video where you just sit back and watch them do everything, but you are not allowed to use any domestic planes, ships, or units. A good way to do this challenge would be to play as a nation with a lot of releasables (maybe France and Britain with their colonial empires or Italy can release basically the entire peninsula as old Italian kingdoms)

I always do license equipment. It makes the run feels REAL, like obviously Yunnan wouldn't be producing its own stuff, never mind having factories and resources to do that. That's why I got good with France, they gave me their license for a French MAS rifle, I pretend that me producing the rifle is actually me buying it, and I march my French-equipped divisions to save China from Japanese imperialism !

[@squirtleawesome1064]

Having to keep up with tech to get license equipment is kind of silly. Like why would I even be licensing equipment in the first place if I was up to tech? Then again if it wasn't balanced at all you could ignore most tech in a game and focus on industry, or even have your allies focus on a specific tech branch for each of you to license from.
