[@peterkadlecik7813]

Great video as always my friend...just one qestion: Vojvodina has whole starting Hungary as core teritory. At least it was like that in previous patch. Would this kind of corring still work? Give hungarian teritory to Vojvodina and by uniting kindom it should give you Hungarian teritory also as core. Same with transilvanian teritory...

For those looking for an extra achievement: after you've completed this guide and received the Huge-O-Slavia achievement, justify on any other allied country and declare war. This will get you the Balkan Powder keg achievement.

So you only need to be in "A" faction and decalre on the faction leader of another to get this achievement?

Serbia was not only the victor of ww1 but it played a key role in breaking the Thessaloniki front. You have so many books written about Serbian victories in ww1.

[@scott3017]

Great video! A couple thoughts 1) be careful of the Soviets if you go fascist instead of Communist. They justified on me as soon as I finished off Romania, and they justified on my capital so I couldn't do your "reunite the kingdoms" trick. 2) a collaboration government on Greece helps so you can get some factories and resources from compliance while your country is a mess. 3) doing the focus "end the regency" flipping to democratic after everything is all done gets you the "Peter's Pride" achievement.

[@aidenbooksmith2351]

In reply to 1, can't you leave yourself some other territory and then release Serbia to avoid that?

[@scott3017]

@@aidenbooksmith2351 i don't think you can do that while you're playing as yugoslavia. In that part of the focus tree, yugo is broken up into its constituent countries as puppets, and you're left with serbia as your core territory.

[@milospesic2454]

I find fascist run to be much easier if followed by democratic flip. For some reason did not encounter Stalin's rage and progressed Hungary a lot quicker. I usually go Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, and then Romania. Just easier to mess with AI.

[@scott3017]

@@milospesic2454 I think what happened is that the AI Soviets finished their focus to claim Bessarabia while I was still at war with Romania, but occupying Bessarabia. This was also prior to NSB, so I don't know if the new USSR tree would affect that at all.

[@garethrichmond4388]

Cheers thanks for the update. Im doing romania at the moment and im gonna try and do their 3 achievements which have become a lot trickier

[@fraulens]

Interesting video! I used a similar strategy to your previous one to get this achievement. I flipped commie via the focus, justified on Austria twice (to get a faster justification due to higher WT) and while fighting against the Austrians, I justified on Greece. I fought a couple months while staying on the defensive (disbanded my paratroopers by mistake) on both the Greek and Romanian fronts. The Greeks beld themselves to death, paving the way for my swift advance into their territory. I did invest in fighters and CAS, they helped me a lot against Romania. I got pretty lucky, as Germany did have some hard times in fighting in the West (France fell only in January 1941). This delay made the Jerries quite weak, and together with the Soviets I could finish the Axis off by 1942.

Great video, but this is such a frustrating achievement. Following your strategy the following happened in the last four runs: 1) France never guaranteed me, 2) France guaranteed me but then retracted it shortly before my justification against Romania got going, 3) France kept their guarantee (!) but I accidentally reached the Czech border before Germany gobbled them and they joined the Allies immediately, 4) France retracts the guarantee again.

The next time everything actually turned out ok, I think my problem was I was rushing everything and was ready to declare on Romania very early 1938 (whereas you were declaring late 1938).

[@kiriseraph9674]

If you turn Italy into a collab government then you wont have to fight over it in the peace deal, although that only applies to the territories that you held when you made the collab gov. In BBA they become a puppet automatically an you only need to drop them down to integrated puppet to keep them. That way you only need to fight over the territories that the allies held during the peace deal, and the BBA peace deal mechanics make it easier than it was, plus you will have more warscore points to put towards fewer regions on account of not having to select most of Italy. Also you only need to occupy the regions to get the achiev so if you have to fight the allies you only need to occupy the lands to win, so it is best to snatch up the island provinces first, then the coastal provinces, then the inland provinces. If you end up losing out on the inland provinces then so long as you surround them it wont be hard to take them the instant the war breaks out, just need some defensive units on your borders and shorelines so that you dont lose anything to a naval invasion.

Of course that would be too easy, they still joined the war with Romania. Guess I will try something else!

hi i have tried this and it works 100%: take first focus create agency and put your agent on rumania and taje the second agent brown demagog don t take a focus civil war as fast as posible recruit one cavlry and deploy it and take the victory points justify on bulgaria justify on hungary now take the focuses to balkanize your country puppet bulgaria puppet hungary just on rumania as soon as you declare on hungary attack rumania from bulgaria only anex rumania except for besarabia let it free so the sovient union declares war and drag the allies and continue the war against checoslovaia and annex them too unite the kindoms when germany starts Ww2 justify on sweden and then cancel the justificacion now justify on greece now yo just need to take on the axis and after that ocuppy besarabia

[@vasiliosmitropoulos5590]

This guide still works, two things are different 1) chechoslovakia guaranteed greece so i was at war with, as a result they never gave in to the germans for the fate focus (war happened no allies though) 2) after the above hungary joined axis when i attacked, was able to beat them within couple of days they never called the germans in.

Mods: Gates of Versailles is quite a fun mod - though it doesn't seem to be very stable right now for some reason. Youjo Senki Redux is also pretty good - once the mage divisions are properly made its nice to use them to go really fast. There's also Legacy of Carlos Rex which is pretty interesting - though the fact that if you reunite Germany your colour doesn't change is a downside because The colours don't look great when you are a huge empire they just aren't satisfying to have a puke green country. Stalemate: The Frozen war is a great mod too, though you are often stuck with a stability debuff because the soviets get killed and you can't complete the focus, and you can be locked behind focuses eg. a german path to invade russia then the soviet union requires that both of them win the civil war and do the focus thats required, which the AI often takes ages to do.

[@jasondetata8098]

Thank you for this and the Dracula's revenge. The randomness was frustrating. I did go fascist because the timing wasn't working for me. When I was communist hungry kept joining the axis as i was attacking them. Since I was fascist it made the soviets justify Bessarabia before i could switch to communist, so I released Romania to cancel it. The soviets demanded Bessarabia, and it was given up. As I had to take on the axis anyway, I figured I could take the soviets out after I got Italy. I did gain another achievement without realizing it, "The Balken Powder Keg," because I was like I'll join the allies to make it easier to take out the Soviets.

[@lichengwang6315]

I have an update for a probably more repeatable method. Puppet Bulgaria, give Greece to Bulgaria. Then around 1938 take Hungray if UK guarantee your independence. Czechslovakia might guarantee Hungray. Take out both before Germans do fate of czechslovakia. Do NOT take any land from Czechs. Then justify on Romania, and finish everything before USSR comes in. Then unify the country and should be very simple after that.

[@lichengwang6315]

The trick is, the higher world tension there is, France would be more likely to guarantee your independence. It would be safer to improve relationships before that. By generating enough tension yourself, you can earn a French guarantee (though I know this sounds like a joke but works)

[@Doperwtje81]

So maybe I did this wrong, but the conditions for the Huge-O_Slavia achievement include the 1 province held by Turkey. I got all the others, tried justifying on Turkey, managed to get the province but unfortunately that is not enough.

Do not destroy encircled units if you are close to capitulate their country. If you destroy them you loose their equipment, which otherwise you could capture 50%

[@Patton1944]

As an alternative Yugoslavia has quite a bit of chromium so they are in a good position to make heavy tanks. If you time it right you can get the focus that gives you mechanized and then tank research and then have at least two 20 width heavy tank 2s with mech out by barb. Doesn't sound like a lot but two tank divisions commanded well is enough to get small encirclements and to slowly bleed the enemy dry. Also, not saying this cuz I think going heavy tanks for this strategy is better, I just think it's cool that Yugoslavia is in a unique position to go for heavy tanks quite well since normally if a country goes for tanks they get mediums (I feel that's the case anyway). Also tanks are fun.
