I swear to God, the more mods like kaiserreich change themselves to be more “realistic” the more insane and wacky base game hoi4 becomes

[@evilemuempire9550]

I remember the days of all the wacky paths in Kaiserreich, wish they had kept some of them

[@Totally_not_alpharius]

@ I still don’t understand why they decided to remove them it’s althistory it’s supposed to be silly and funny

[@Red_Planet]

Half of France splitting and only having 1 division, it’s like they managed to get far because no one bothered to stop them

[@EnforcerX71]

If life has National Focuses, France have been stuck on the "Incompetence In War" one post Napoleon.

You can also form the EU with Otto von Habsburg in the Hungary Austria-Hungary path, and it's pretty fun

Nazbol EU is possible for Germany as well

Nice pfp

[@hirocheeto7795]

@@erikweltz8187 I know the communist path has a EU-adjacent thing, but what's the path you're talking about?

[@amadeuszmajewski3551]

@@hirocheeto7795i think thats it. He said nazbol so national bolshevism

[@hirocheeto7795]

@@amadeuszmajewski3551 I really have to wonder where he managed to pull that out of, considering nazbol is a schizo ideology and the communist path really isn't that loony.

[@sgtsodium6472]

I just realized your Spanish puppet is the “Regional Defense Council of Aragon.” You made a puppet of the Anarchists. Lmao

[@sunjasonjb2773]

and they're non-aligned too, brilliant

[@jadeorbigoso5212]

​@@sunjasonjb2773does Anarchist can also become Communist or Fascist , or they just locked in as Non Aligned?

[@sgtsodium6472]

I believe the anarchists are always non-aligned, distinct from the communist path.

[@szetron9394]

This must be the strangest game of hoi4 ever since the manchukuo A-Z playthrough

[@helixx4678]

Holyshit what a throwback, that game was wack

[@mezeidavid9086]

i laughed my ass off on that video holy shit

[@james_renkov6587]

2:25 you can form the EU as the monarchist germans by doing mittleeuropa

[@dodojesus4529]

Can you still do it as the nazbols?

[@ProfessorGreg_]

Wait really?

[@Engineer_gaming12]

You can with the monarchist and the democratic, not with the foot fetishists but the communists can form a diffrent thing that doesnt have Italy but has brittan.

[@giulianopisciottano8302]

​​@@Engineer_gaming12 the EU has both Italy and Britain. It's the best formable in the game, the only rivals are probably the imperial federation and a full power global defense council (which let's be real it's not happening in any normal game)

[@Engineer_gaming12]

@giulianopisciottano8302 yes they do i just was talking about forming the union, i didnt include the desicions. It is really powerfull getting all of Europe,

0:33 now that is a thing I have not heard in a long time..

[@9wowable]

welcome back 2016

[@a_person_of_all_time]

2:25 3 nations can actually do the EU now (with the invite and puppet mechanics), that being Belgium, Austria and Germany

[@OnlyGrafting]

Worth noting the Germany mechanics are Mittle Europa decisions, different from the European Union faction ones. Also worth noting that disbanding the EU faction will ruin your decisions entirely 😂

[@swamperino8450]

Wasn't the Netherlands tree updated to have an EU path as well?

[@birb4121]

​@@justsomeeggsinapot1784 Doesn't work like that ever rng decision is decided at start iirc, so Austria denying the anschluss for example would always happen no matter how many times you reloaded the game.

Bruh when Was this changed? Or am I confusiong it for how it worked in Eu4? ​@@birb4121

[@JumboGaming001]

the uk is looking at this rn and rolling over

[@gamingwolf4209]

Honestly normal for Spain to have 7 civil wars at once

[@foxnaught8671]

I did a Belgium EU game the other day and everyone left my faction because I switched ideologies too early so I joined the Comintern and the federalization decisions still worked for everyone in the faction. Stalin immediately said yes to being my puppet.

[@Sgnolbo]

Oh my god, is that a six way civil war in Spain?

Forming the eu in real life is OVERPOWERD

[@peperoni_pepino]

Well, of course. Brussels is the third Rome. Or fourth, or fifth, or sixth, depending on who you ask. /jk /orami

[@BritishAlpineTerritories]

12:09 A pale imitation of my glory

[@cc0767]

So what happens is a nation tries to join the EU, the EU activates its bureaucracy and you need 3 times as long as necessary? What does PDX mean by that..

[@Theover4000]

I’m glad I’m not the only one suffering from “Italy Balkanizing itself-itis”. 3 games in the past week I’ve had Italy do this I don’t know why 😅

[@GabRap]

9:25 this seems to be a common AI bug after the DLC, it also happened in one of my games

[@domena1007]

12:58 In my Belgium EU game Brazil wanted to join.

[@EnforcerX71]

Factions within a Faction? Yep, sounds like the real life EU.

[@nix-57]

I don’t even care about the rat meme coming back, I just want you to experience the joy of a little rat friend. Also if you get one you should name it Bokoen…

[@ktosiekbot]

Honestly the quality of content released with this dlc is very disappointing. Sure, the systems for nukes and research facilities is cool but the focus tress are grossly underworked and prone to breaking

[@ValorBestBirb]

"European Japan" has the exact same weird energy "Italian Shogunate" has

[@obiwankenobi833]

You can form the EU as monarchist Germany (It's called The Union of European States) from doing the Mittle Europa alliance and trade path where you ally the Czechs, you can end up coring ALL of Europe and the European parts of Russia. Very overpowered

[@Liquids1deways]

4:13 as a Dutch person that hurt Ive layed Belgium in the dlc and even though the french buff is better out of principle I didn't choose it

[@peperoni_pepino]

You "layed Belgium". You laid with a Belgian? Hope your relation is not too bothered by the non-existent border controls. :-P (sorry moest even)

[@Average_Cinder_Block]

I haven't even started but I gotta say ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[@justsomeeggsinapot1784]

2:40 Good thing he stopped, we cannot allow Sorrow viewers to become intelligent and educated

[@countbaldwin]

Tbf the schizo Belgian unit is probably the result of constant infighting between the Flemish and Walloons over what cavalry is supposed to look like, therefore after years of back and forths they made this beautiful specimen as a compromise

[@12345DJay]

You can realize European Unity now and then rebrand yourself into the HRE while retaining all the decisions to core everything from Gibraltar to Russia for the ultimate Monarchist Powertrip

[@MrTeddy12397]

play the democratic path as germany and do the european federation, it's actually insane

[@raven_1133]

That “tank” destroyer is a destroyer…a destroyer of hopes.

[@UserUNKNOWN_1705]

Forming the EU as Austria Hungary starting as Hungary is pretty interesting. You make the monarchist union of Europe.

[@UserUNKNOWN_1705]

You also start with more cores in the balkans.
