For someone who has watched many many tutorials for Hoi4, this has by far taught me the most. Thank you so much!

Comment I left to someone asking for a good 2024 tutorial on steamcommunity: I’m glad I’ve founded this guy, he takes your hand in a pleasant, practical and smart way, An over 10 hours introducing tutorial might sounds long at first glance, but II’d say it’s rather like an optical illusion: -First, time flies in good company. Self-explanatory -Second, time well invested, 8 hours in the tutorial gave me more confidence than my previous 100 hours in in the game, mainly trying to follow other yt tutorials… It’s an all fresh ongoing project that should drive more attraction pretty soon me guess. Games with Brains, please by all means continue to deliver, but even if you stop now, I’m already a foot in and enjoying :), thanks for that.

Facts, I love this series. I'm brand new, and my first game is this tutorial 👍

[@C-141B_FE]

These tutorials are gold. Lots to learn and definitely worth watching! Comprehensive and thorough, thank you so much!

[@gameswithbrains]

Thanks for your continued support. I'm about to get the next 2-3 episodes done. Please ask any questions you're not entirely sure on, I've already got a few, I'm looking to work those into upcoming videos. This goes to everyone - if you have a question, then there's definitely others who do too.

[@MarkCherkowski]

I am about 500 hours in, and these beginners tutorials of your have taught me so much!

[@TheNorthDevonOrganist]

lol, it's the 10th October my game and spain still hasn't fallen out with itself lol. I am sticking with it all though because your videos are so educational and I enjoy having a wee laugh along with you as you play your game. Thanks again!

[@gameswithbrains]

Hopefully you'll know what to do when things kick off. This randomness of the Spanish civil war was quite something!

[@arch6039]

HOI4 should just link this series in the game for a new player tutorial. I feel like a lot less people would quit the game before understanding it.

[@jolmanus]

Checking in after 7 eps. Playing along but on recruit lvl. Im slightly behind you but easy to catch up on tech and such. +1 on video and thank you for your time

[@liamevans4365]

My civil war still hasn't begun, and I'm at the point in the end of this video. Going back and forth is going to be a pain

[@franckijpelaar]

Really helpfull tutorial thus far, thank you so much for making this.

[@gameswithbrains]

Thanks for your generous support & encouraging words.

[@bamzz7801]

Great series. I did notice that when changing supply from horse drawn to motorized, fuel did take a hit. Something to keep in mind.

[@gameswithbrains]

Great tip!

[@Nixdigo]

The civil war made me a month behind yet a month ahead.

[@knoxfromthebunker2770]

Thanks!

[@gameswithbrains]

Thank you very much for the kind tip 🙂

[@o_O29866]

nice!

[@hudooguru2]

All those grey days make for perfect HOI time though doesn't it!? 😆

[@gameswithbrains]

That is true, I definitely spend more time Infront of the computer in our typical grey British winters.

[@kingloser4198]

Sounded like you said a four letter word about/to complete beginners :D :D 0:04

[@btmarine]

What happened to the assigned airforce to Rommel in Spain?

[@gameswithbrains]

Grrrr! I think this could be some sort of bug (I'm gonna reach out to paradox) because if you have the DLC enabled they behave "normally" Vs "not at all". I'm gonna touch on this briefly in my next recorded ep (no.13 - unlucky!)

[@erikwiley586]

You're in the wrong country for sun 😆. Thanks for asking, but it's been good here in the states. I love winter and not looking forward to summer. Why are all the units im doing exercises with having skulls on them? Take attrition i mean..

[@bigmanzeebo7207]

they only have the skulls during the training because doing the exercise uses supplies and materials. After you finish the training, wait a bit and it should go back to normal. Also, another tip is that training can only go up to level 3. Once you see a banner with a star next to your division instead of the clover, it can’t train any higher

[@gameswithbrains]

I definitely am in the wrong country for the sun. As I kid I used to hear German & French people saying this a lot, and I thought it was just idle banter - things only got more serious when discussing good cheeses, wines or good cars with trains that run on time, but now I finally realise - Nope, they were serious about the sun too!

[@erikwiley586]

@gameswithbrains 😆 🤣. I actually would love England's weather as I love dark rainy days. I hate heat and the sun lol.
