[@th0rm4s36]

Love this series man. It’s like ISP’s, but you put enough of a spin on it that it makes it so much more interesting! Keep up the good work!

Tbh I don’t like isp. He is alright in a bokoen vid but by himself I find him annoying

[@yapalskippy1807]

​@@7pan7pan93 his video titles are really repetitive, the character he puts on as a broken and unstable man by cause of playing too much HOI4 has gotten old, and I think he's slowly come to a dead end with making content for the game. I agree he's good in Bokoen videos though.

I like how Germany can just steam roll and hold on for tears and not break a sweat....than Spain joins In and they fold like the Belgins did in...anyway recent war ever

[@Kandall05161]

The downfall of Germany is always the AI's unwillingness to protect its allies. Germany gets a *lot* of allies that are super weak and able to be easily navally invaded, and it won't move troops to squash those invasions until they border Germany itself. This is why the Italy war went the way it did in this game; Germany didn't care about the invasion until Italy became a German puppet, and then Germany moved one of their armies to completely halt the allied advance because it was now 'German territory'. Likewise, they don't care about Spain losing the war right up until the second Britain borders occupied France, then it becomes Germany's problem. If the German AI cared about its allies whatsoever the axis would be unbeatable in the current patch just because of how strong Germany is (largely due to it having a focus tree designed before Paradox decided crippling every nation would be cool)

[@gengarzilla1685]

Hitler not giving a damn about his allies could be considered historical however, as he only ever saw them as tools and has previously denounced any alliance not intended for waging war as "senseless and useless". That existing German AI behaviour should at least be retooled onto a leader trait for Hitler.

[@MyVanir]

@@Kandall05161 Honestly, AI should be able to just say no to weak allies that don't contribute anything but an open flank.

[@alatamore]

I don’t think I’ve ever commented on the sponsor in any KZbin video, but I had a laugh that we have the same burnt titanium Ridge with the cash clip. I have to say it really is the best wallet I’ve ever had. And I love the A to Z series, giving love to lots of nations rarely played. I liked that first Aussa video, and this one is also awesome!

Your Aussa seems to be 10x stronger than any of my Ethiopias ^^ Well done, really -- but it's almost a shame that Aussa and other Horn of Africa nations don't have any achievement(s) related to them...

Ive been waiting for this since last A-Z video 😊❤

I, too, hope this video is more enjoyed. I remember being quite intrigued by Aussa and your first video when BBA came out.

Havent started watching but i can tell this is gonna be a Bitt3rsteel classic, meaning a great video

Aussa is one of my Favorite Nations in The Game, just because they gte Insane Bonuses to Irregulars, and Irregulars are Really Cheap and easy to Produce

[@noturno5062]

The best place to naval invade Germany seems to be the Netherlands, for some reason they never garrison it like france, sending one naval invasion in belgium to distract their garrisons might even give you a port with no resistance, the port touching both the english channel and eastern north sea is also most of the times undefended or have one really weak garrison, love the video btw

[@GlyrienXD]

[@jessicalindo7977]

This is such a cool game! I love what you've done, the whole thing with Ethiopia and especially the hard fighting in Africa and then in Italy, even if it became a slog after that until you naval invaded France. Very impressive!

[@TKnightcrawler]

When I've played Afar, I was lucky enough that Italy conquered British Somaliland. So I was able to form the Horn of Africa just by not having Military Access with the UK. Of course, without military access, doing much more than that was difficult.

[@zulpi2103]

What CPU do you have? It runs so much faster than for me :D

[@SpartanO86]

Just remember, Bitt3rsteel’s series will be bigger than ISP’s, because of this video

[@hitomisalazar4073]

Did a similar thing with Ethiopia once and didn't actually end the war with the status quo thing when I took back the horn of Africa. Not sure if that's in play but that absolutely DESTROYED Italy due to them getting like -1% ticking war support per week as the conflict continued. By the time I kicked them out of North Africa and went on the invasion of Italy they were at 0% War Support for months. Sadly, and this frustrated me a lot... despite me having occupied and done most of the heavy lifting against Italy it was the UK that got the Regna del Sol puppet... Though plus side, that meant I didn't lose African holdings to the puppet...
