[@ianmorris6022]

42:19 Alright, you asked for it. You are right that you are pretty close with regard to the Ukrainian/Russian/Polish territories. The history is very complex, but generally speaking you didn't need Stanislow at all. It's especially hard to tell given that these days the city and region are renamed "Ivano-Frankivsk." Furthermore the regions in HoI4 named Lwow and Stanislow are in reality four different regions: Lviv (Lwow), I.F. (Stanislow), Zakarpattia (Stanislow), and part of Ternopil (Lwow). On maps I can find, at least. As far as I can tell Ternopil, or at least parrt of it, was owned by the Ottomans, so you need Lwow because HoI4 makes you take full "states." In the Polish/Ukrainian mess The Ottoman's posessions are regions known as Podolia and Right-Bank Ukraine. There's a lot of history there, I'll link to the wikipedia about the region under the Ottomans. Podolia contains parts of modern day Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, and Vinnytsia, as well as Cherkassy and Odessa. I'll also link to the wikipedia page for Podolia, which lists the modern regions it contains, and also history of the many nations the region was administered by. All of that means you did well to take Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsia, and Cherkassy. Given that HoI4's "Lwow" contains the real world's Ternopil, you needed it too. Odessa is the only bit super obviously controlled by the Ottomans on the Ottoman Empire maps from wikipedia. The only bit you took that you didn't need, that I can tell, is Stanislow. You did need Slovakia, at the least Eastern Slovakia, part of Southern Slovakia, and Carpathian Ruthenia. The quick summary is Slovakia was owned by Hungary and the Habsburgs, the Eastern parts of which were then owned by the Ottomans. I'll link to some history. Super short summary is Eastern Europe is a rat's nest. One of my goals when I graduate from University with a history degree is to make maps of historical borders that you can overlay on modern maps. Would make this, and understanding history in general, so much easier, especially when you don't have time to do a lot of reading. If I was doing this properly I'd pull books off my shelves, but I can't link to those, and it's 2 AM here anyway. SO here's to wikipedia. Anyway, love your videos, please keep making them, your voice is wonderful and the commentary is entertaining. Links: Large map of Ottoman Empire I was using: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire#/media/File:OttomanEmpireMain.png Turkish controlled areas in the Polish/Ukrainian mess: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podolia_Eyalet (I'm using the second map on the page because the other one doesn't correspond with other maps I've seen of Turkish possesions). Podolia, with a list of corresponding modern regions on the right side of the page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podolia A map of modern Ukraine divided into its Oblasts (districts) on the right: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_Ukraine#Regions The Polish-Ottoman War, the various truces and treaties of which decided the extent of Ottoman control: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Ottoman_War_(1672%E2%80%9376) Another, somewhat more detailed map, of Ottoman possesions: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/Ottoman_empire.svg The history of Slovakia, particularly as it realtes to the Habsburgs and the Ottomans: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Slovakia#Habsburg_and_Ottoman_administration

[@britishgamer666]

Sqwizzadoi still very hard due to Irelands very low manpower pool. Even with North Ireland your total core pop is still like 4.5mil? So scraping the barrel will barely get you 1.1mil. Militarism and Military youth will add another 350k. So in total you can draft about 1.4mil people into your military with the most extreme conscription laws. Obviously if he takes Britian and her colonies and annexes them, he will get a massive non core pop to pull troops from and with the same extreme conscription laws he could get bout.... another 1.5 maybe? Gonna have to see.

[@britishgamer666]

I done a game a while ago and if you do manage to annex UK and all her puppets AND get the militarism+military youth+scrapping the barrel, you could get about 4-5mil manpower. Pretty good to be honest.

[@Egemony]

I truly acknowledge you as the most skillful Hoi4 player ever. I am not even half as strategic as you are. But I have a challenge that even I can accomplish: Conquer the Uk as Japan until mid-1937, Conquer USA before 1940, Germany before 1942, Soviets before 1943. Optional part: Conquer all of Asia.

Hey man, nice video! I was binge watching earlier ones when this one was uploaded. I have a suggestion though, there is a mod called the Formable Nations mod and it allows nations, like Greece for example, to form a new nation if certain requirements are met like Byzantine. The requirements are usually just own a certain and specific amount of land and you gain cores on all of them when you form the new nation. It would be cool if you gave it a try! It'll make runs like this one much more enjoyable. Looking forward to the next video!

The front lines keep disappearing in Africa because they updated from vanilla to where conquering the seaward or otherwise habitable provinces will paint the uninhabitable and vast interior provinces which have no value. If you remember you used to be able to go on a tear across the desert which looked nice but didn't really do anything. They simply obsoleted the Sahara tactically. This fixed some small problems but created debatably larger ones. Same thing in Himalayas, Gobi, Alps, etc.

Your map is pretty accurate. Ottomans fought Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1620-1621 and even their subject Crimean Khanate captured and briefly controlled Kiev in 1648. Parts of Slovakia were under Ottoman occupation for less than 20 years but Bohemia was only raided by small forces, not captured though.
