Off the top, you were trying to build up your Congressional support and increase your factory output at the same time. Paying farm subsidies does increase your support, but it also increases consumer goods which takes away from your building. Even though it costs more political power, it is better to just go with the medium lobbying effort. You get twice the effect so have to be in that mode for less time.

Ah Taureor, you really need to learn at least the basics of navy! Two strong fleets on support naval invasion (one for each army) would have worked much better for the Japan operation than balanced taskforces. Segmented fleets get eaten by massed battlefleets like Japan and the UK. You can also prepare naval invasions in advance of declaring war:) esp vs japan when they're heavily invested in china it can massively speed things up.

Attempt Number 1 at asking Taureor to complete every Al Andalus decisions

[@davidbascom5781]

I have no idea if someone has done this before, but I came up with a strategy as Italy to beet Germany using pure politics and not attacking anyone or joining a faction. And I know you like politics so thought I would share. I start by decolonizing but you don't have to. Don't do a focus to save up political power. Asap justify on the USSR. World tension at 33% so uk will guarantee anyone you justify on. Next justify on Austria. Makes them more likely to refuse the anshlus. If they do, war w the allies before Germany can expand and get super powerful. If not, do the same on all the other countries Germany can get focus war goals on. Eventually Germany gets into war w the allies in way or another. If things are going really slow do the focus to take Albania. Uk will guarantee, they will refuse, and later Greece will invade and join the axis. In any case neither power can really win so early bc the allies start weak and Germany has been hindered, so once the USSR joins Germany gets squashed. I developed this for a multiplayer Germany v Italy game w a friend who was going for the Berlin Moscow axis which is what inspired it (make the alliance impossible to form by voiding the USSR at pease requirements) but it works on single player to. Tested it 3 times and once by buffing Germany all the way up. Worked perfectly each time. Tho I admit I was not playing historical focuses. They make the game to repetitive. Just defend that little tiny boarder in the Alps you have w Germany and wait for them to slowly die

@@s0larstuff775 No Problem I'm not sure there would be much of a point in him going full Fascist as the US since he already did the War Powers Act branch, unless he was to try and do something like put Adam Hilt in Power, then conquer all of Europe (he doesn't games with historical AI turned off, and even if he did, the odds of the event that lets Mr Hilt come to power firing off are really low to begin with, so that's not really an option) - if he was doing a world conquest for the US, he could just go Communist (he says he thinks the Communist branch is the best anyways). I guess he could do something in multiplayer if he did a challenge with some fans/other HOI4 KZbinrs (i.e., reverse ideologies - Fascist Allies vs Democratic Axis - once Italy gets a focus tree), but I'm having a hard time thinking of challenges he could do specifically for single player that would involve Fascist USA. On a side note, I'm kind of surprised he hasn't tried to go for the Imperial Ultra Federation (my nickname for the Imperial Federation formed with the Dominion of North America + South Africa and New Zealand having formed their formable nations, and then the UK having formed the EU - all done under Oswald Mosley), since I'm sure that's the largest formable nation you can form on single player other than Turan.
