Chi Rho is not a Roman/Papal symbol, it's in first place a Byzantine imperial symbol, although it may have been used into religious iconography per se : it's the Eastern Empire that presents itself as Christian worldy power, not the other way around : the religion that presents itself as a new earthly empire.

​@@EricBarbmanThe Chi Rho was first used by Constantine the Great, a Roman Emperor and even after the empire was divided the Western Romans used it until the fall of the empire. So it would make sense that the Catholic successor of the Christian Roman Empire would use the same symbols as said Empire
@EricBarbman
@EricBarbman 8 ай бұрын
@@b0ki459 There are countless options more "roman" and latin for a papal political/secular/imperial/symbol. Chi Rho, as a political symbol, is hellenistic. And I think I remember something about the Chi Rho being adopted by the oriental iconoclasts, which makes it even less occidental. In Rome, the Chi Rho is used marginally, as an apocalyptic iconography -> you can't make it less political. Any iconography linked to Peter (keys) or Paul (gladius) would be more latin and roman, therefore more papal. Or a theophanic iconography.

A strategy i personally use is to use the claims on yugoslavia from the foreign affairs branch (you'll need it for turkey and greece anyway) to get france paradropped, and instead of slogging through the balkans i go to war with the UK, which makes everyone join the allies (even turkey and greece, if you have time) and using the french navy i invade the uk. Doing this makes everything much faster and saves a lot of time and equipment :)

re: 14:05 "We do not want the British involved" To be filed under "when the mistake makes it better": I messed this part up, the Brits had the chance to guarantee Austria. Thanksfully I had gotten docking permission from the Germans on day one, so my fleet was in Germany, not stuck in the Mediterranean . Took France quickly as you do via paradropping, than with my navy in position invaded the UK. By this time all the others in the war had Allied up, so upon taking down the Brits I got Austria, Yugo, Romania, Czcgh-watever, and all the allies and their colonies/puppets. One trick is I always upgrade my prewar subs filling that empty spot with a mine layer. While at war with Ethiopia I start mining the English Channel, so invading is a snap (work really well for the Germans).

Great guide ! I think I did even better than you by accident though. I followed every step very closely until the justification on Austria finished, and by lack of luck, they'd already been guaranteed by the UK as World Tension reached 25%. I figured, why not roll with it, and capped France before declaring on Austria. I then Sea-Lioned and since all the other countries I was at war with joined the Allies, I ended up having France, the UK, Yugoslavia, Romania, Austria and Czechoslovakia pupetted by the end of May 1937 !

i tried this myself and was having trouble getting the war goal to complete on austria before the UK would guarantee them. however, it turns out this makes everything substantially easier; just do the paradrop cheese on france before declaring on austria (you might need to wait until the justification nearly expires). then, once the UK gets pulled into the war by austria, the rest of the countries you're already at war with will get pulled into the allies. just use france's fleet to immediately naval invade britain, and you will get austria, czechoslovakia, yugoslavia, and romania for free without having to fight them at all. this might make certain achievements harder since it ends up screwing with the balance of power a bunch, but it's very fast to set up.

As I haven’t yet activated By Blood Alone, I’m unaware of what changes have been made since your last videos that meant you had to change strategy so much. Was it changes with the Balance of Power mechanic if you want to get rid of Mussolini? Not being able to annex?

I'd honestly go with the superheavy tank. you get a free research bonus for it with the pope line, and you can use it as support for your infantry to give them armor. Throw on rocket launchers and they get boosted by superior firepower doctrine, and these monsters make mincemeat out of basically anything they see. plus, papal states give a lot of bonuses to producing heavy and superheavy equipment.

First love your videos, between you and Feedback Gaming have really helped my own HOI4 playthroughs. On this I do have a couple of suggestions for others if they want to try this. First off, dont bother placing troops to defend Sardinia or any African territories against France, they will fold so quickly you just get any land taken right back, not worth the effort. Second, dont bother wasting time with collaboration government in France, it is not needed. Simply have 8 paratroopers hit 8 different victory points, including Paris obviously, and France falls in just a couple of days, no extra help needed. I have been experimenting with this in over 10 different play throughs now and the only time France did not capitulate right away was using less than 8 paratrooper units. Hope this helps save someone some time and better use of their resources.

I found a cheese to rush Pope. Those 2 focuses on the left side? Using one of those. Remember you cannot take those focus branches anymore if you are no longer fascist but you will keep their bonuses, the one is needed which is the left one, you only need to rush the second one (Believe, Obey, Fight) as this will unlock some useful advisor. Why you want those advisor? Some of them will push the balance of power to the left by 15, so you know what I am thinking. They are locked for a time but after you take Utilize the Blackshirt focus, you can hire those advisors so it's instant pope. The other branch unlocks a unique support company and recruitable population so you might want it as well, but it gives a permanent fascist tick so it might slow you down slightly. I prefer to do my conquest before the balance of power opens up though, because I don't have to re-annex everything, and yes that includes UK.

Okay so I messed up the timing with Austria and the UK but I wonder if it's that big of a deal? What I ended up doing is : - Cap France before declaring on Austria. - Prep the invasion of the UK from Puppet France in Calais toward Dover and Portsmouth (+ nearby tiles). - Moved ASAP the captured fleet of France and Italy's fleet in northern France. - As soon as both are ready declared on Austria. - Austria, Romania Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia will all join the Allies. - At the same time the invasion is started and should be succesful. - Rush the UK to cap. - Now the Allies immediately surrender since the other countries that joined are not major. - Puppet everything. I'll admit I missmanaged the war with Germany as it ended up in a grind of Bratislava since I didn't plan correctly (although their Air Force is pretty much gone). Not sure if it's easier to do this way.

For all these folks having problem with UK guarantying Austria after last patches.... Forget about timing presented by author, it does not work anymore. Simply justify on YUG just after you finish Ethiopia (Feb/March '36) and declare asap. Once you declare on YUG, justify on Austria. Just take defensive line with YUG and FRA. Declare on Austria asap, world tension will be too low to let UK guarantying anything at this moment (Nov/Dec '36). Take defensive positions and do not take any offensive actions against Austria, wait until you have a collaborative government ready for France. You should have it ready late March '37 as well as paratroopers. Likely you will lack air superiority over Alps, so assign all fighters to south France and the rest to Alps region, you will need it as Czech will assign their plains there. It should make a trick and start paratroopers invasion. Capitulate France. From that moment you can continue as BitterSteel proposed, you will be even few weeks ahead of his schedule. Be ready to have some fleet loses against French fleet as you will be at war with them quite long and need to protect your ports against invasions. Def against YUG, FRA, AUS is no prob.

Hey BitterSteel, I have only subbed to your channel recently and I have never played HOI4, but I wonder if the following is possible (as a challenge): Would it be possible to form the EU when playing as the Netherlands, but you have to use bicycle infantry instead of foot infantry? You may still use armour, air, sea etc.; you just can't use people on foot. You can tell I don't know the game well, since I have no clue whether this is easy or impossible. ^^'

As of late, every time I try this run Austria is 100% guaranteed by Britain. Even after not taking any industry or resources post Ethiopia. Seems like the devs increased world tension buildup just enough to no longer be able to cheese Britain out of Austria/Czechslovakia.

They changed world tension from justifying on Dalmatia from 6% to 7%, so UK always guarantees Austria and spoiling this strategy.

Yeah, not sure if anyone else has this issue, but the irregular troops you borrow from your Ethiopian puppets are a bit janky. If you are doing this run, do NOT get them, no matter how helpful they can be. You can NOT give them back because they can't be disbanded. I dont know if there is a work around or what, but if you annex those puppets later they won't go away because it is still a bugged part of the game that if you have divisions borrowed from an annexed nation they do NOT go away. I guess it really doesn't change anything since you can't get rid of them when they are a puppet. Also, they REFUSE to move manually move them to a port
