I used to love Ahistorical, but I've learnt to loathe it now. You end up getting random wars all over the place which becomes a pain to win. The only times I really enjoy ahistorial now is when I play as Italy as I like to go to war with France before the end of 1936 and knock them out before they go with England.

Otto von Habsburg was a great supporter of the "Paneuropa project" so in my opinion monarchist Austria-Hungary should be able to take the decision of forming the EU. Even fascist UK can.

Tbh most of the most difficult achievements I have achieved have always been on non-historical. Also it makes it more fun since AI can be pretty funny at times. One time I saw Turkey go communist but were attacked by USSR so they joined the Axis, or the time where I was playing as Ottoman Turkey on non-historical and the German Civil war went on until I intervened in 1943...

[@johnnyboy95101]

Anyone else seeing some random video corruption or is it just my end? Also, I personally prefer to select non historical and set countries to random when I play, but I think I would prefer historical mostly when watching your videos. However, I do think mixing in some non historical would not be a bad thing because I do think it would be fun seeing you adapt to a world going mad. Edit: I think you could have used the spies to get a nonaggression pact with Germany before eating Czechoslovakia and it would have prevented them declaring, but your method was delightfully devilish Seymour.

[@Trahalls3]

A very enjoyable video as usual Taureor, thank you for that ;) I love both historical and ahistorical, or even full random can be fun as well. As an history fan I still have a small preference for historical though, because I find it cool to see how the changes player is making is changing the war that truly happened. Something I thought a long time ago to offer you as a challenge proposal, is to play as communist France (Historical) but taking the path with Paris Accords faction creation, with the special spies missions (with an unique spy of this path) and trying to spread the Revolution. I love how it looks like a sort of new French Revolution. That could be cool to try to get all neighbour countries as puppets into the Paris Accords faction. Anyway always nice to see one of your videos popping in my subsribe list, and can't wait for the next one !

[@darkzz577]

Great video as always

[@Benderstal]

I enjoy historical ai quite a bit but it’s also always fun to watch the world fall into chaos whenever you play a nation to create alt history, just sort of adds to the flavor.

[@infinitescream]

I have mixed opinions about it. Historical sometimes gets boring, and non historical can sometimes ruin your play through entirely.

[@userwill5826]

I like both but I think mixing it up and putting it to random and non historical AI is a nice change of pace. It adds a nice spice to the video and adds some funny situations and it’s very interesting to see how you would try to adapt to a weird situation. But all in all I think it’ll be entertaining no matter what you do :)!

[@turbo_turk1]

Nice video bro! This part of the video made my day 2:41 🤣

[@looseycanon]

Taureor, do them all, historical, non-historical and random. It will add variety to your playthroughs. One thing I'd advise, though, if you'll go for non-historical, non-random, there should be some theme to it, as if creating scenarios.

A possible tip As soon as u hit ur desired intel level (so for example 100%) put 1 agent to quiet intel network in that place and after u can use ur other agents for other things like colab governments. Agents on a quiet intel network dont get caught and they retain the intel level at the same amount.

Divisions with Garrison order attack any enemy division in the same region they're assigned to. No matter what kind of garrsion they are, they go and defend the whole region, even if just assigned to ports. The better solution would be a fallback line on the ports or strategic places.

Please do more random focuses. It really makes the game more interesting and adds that unexpected to the game

[@JC-bt3gv]

a tip for anyone who doesnt have the la resistance dlc: if you want to get CZ without germany demanding sudetenland, keep in mind to trigger your focus tree when the MEMEL EVENT shows up, because right after that is the Munich conference, after finishing, wait another 11 days before accepting CZ to your empire how do you know if Germany demands Memel is triggered? check germany focus tree, it usually triggers when germany reaches 725k manpower edit: this is assuming ofcourse that you stopped doing your focus tree when you reach 1939, when you do, all you have to do is monitor germany's population and focus tree (specifically demand sudetenland ofc)

[@f.b.i-cybercrimedivision7453]

As long as Germany is doing the Sudetenland focus, no matter if it's on day 11 or day 69, Czechoslovakia will accept being annexed. Just gotta wait for that 10 day progress save to end.

[@khaledalhamdan2627]

Missed your videos bro

[@filo8197]

Playing on non-historical can lead to some pretty interesting scenarios. But tbh any setting you play is interesting

[@riggy1990]

Also - A hint I had in the past - You use the focus to go non-aligned, but you have the fascist demagogue. It allows you to join the axis. So when Germany booted you for saying no to sudetenland you can rejoin avoiding war. Though, I THINK that got changed in a no step back update where you wont get booted anymore. But my point stands. You can effectively cut out the risk of sudetenland. and join in on the axis for all your other conquoring.

[@lukej7303]

I enjoy a bit of both, but prefer historical focuses because the predictability lets you pull off some really cool stuff with smaller nations.

[@TheCorruptedNerd]

I come home, I see new Taureor video, i immediately press like.

[@mcalkis5771]

Mix up the settings every once in a while, you've been playing on historical for so long it'd be really refreshing

[@FalkyRocket2222]

i personally thing that random focuses are much better as theyre unexpected and can bring much more flavour to a game since you dont really know what the AI will be doing and even if you know the focus trees some stuff that doesnt make any sense somehow still manages to happen lmao

[@shadowmurlock28]

Dear Taureor, what would you think about playing other peoples scenarios for content? What I mean is that someone will play their own campaign for as much as they want and then they send it to you, to conquer the world or something. I think that it would make great content and I would defnitetly watch it. Have a great day!

[@sheathing3171]

The reason your garrison army attacked in Finland was probably because the Soviets controlled a port in one of the states you told them to garrison. I usually use fallback lines over the ports if I am in a similar situation.

[@scubandym1941]

[@snbeast9545]

Wow, I just did a Miklos Horthy and the Habsburg Prince run four days ago, haven't watched your video yet, here's how mine went: 1. Get Austria and Czechoslovakia diplomatically. I read that you waited because your Germany went historical, mine didn't. 2. Found the Central Powers with Kaiserist Germany. (funny sidenote: it declared war on the Netherlands, peaced out instantly, did the Wilhelm III compromise, but kept von Mackensen until I invaded the Netherlands when it joined the allies) (funny sidenote 2: Germany was capable of taking faction leadership for a couple of years but just didn't.) 3. Italy goes to war with the Allies by manually justifying on Yugoslavia. 4. I go to war with the Allies over Transylvania, invite Italy to my faction. 5. I steamroll the Balkans and Germany steamrolls France because they weren't manning the Maginot. 6. Germany establishes Bourbon France in the south. 7. Kick Italy out and steamroll it for the Italian states. 8. Vichy France pops out in Corsica. 9. Get bored in 1940 and invade the Soviet Union because it had a civil war and also was at war with Manchuria, that was easy but a bit of a pain because it was allied to China. 10. Puppet Russia and China. 11. Australia and the USA created a faction and entered a war with me because Spain was my ally and it attacked Latin American nations. 12. Stalemate over the Channel until 1949, when a successful naval bombing blockade finally gets me naval superiority. 13. Naval invade the UK. They weren't even covering one of the ports I invaded on and barely had any divisions on the islands, which I guess means that blockade actually worked. Take the British states. 14. Kick out Germany and steamroll it for the German and French states.

[@natnaelnatnael9115]

Just use 20 withs nfantry and extend the majont and just chill till 1948

[@general8191]

Start the war in 39. Extend the maginot line and definitely build up forts. There's a few tiles in N. France that can be attacked from 3 directions so definitely strengthen those forts. The alpine front is insanely easy due to the mountains and garbage Italian divisions. Build the alpine line and maybe add a few more fort levels. I usually defend until uncle Sam comes in or I get enough troops+manpower to start naval invading Italy. Don't expect the USSR to help as Germany won't attack them since you as France still exist.

I think either historical or full-random are the two ways to go (so not regular ahistorical). I enjoy watching you navigate politically to put yourself in the best position possible for the times, but there's only so many ways you can alter history before it starts to get same-y. Full-random would make this more diverse and possibly more interesting but also a lot harder and maybe not really as involved since it would be so hard to predict? The short answer is: do whatever you'd enjoy the most.
