before the civil war, you should train just one cav unit in que, since you do not lose it when the war starts, then drop it to take the victory points. Newer players may not be as quick to take the victory points as you were.

This is an excellent video, one of your best! Why do I like it? It takes a hidden gem of a country (many people overlook the czechs) and you do some awesome stuff with them. The achievements even come below secondary for me here. I really think you should try this more often: take a little used country and turn it into a beast! One small point of criticism: I believe you are too focused on the 40 width templates. You see in this game you delay yourself unnecessarily by waiting for your 14/4 to fill up, while the Axis is pounded on from all sides already. In those situations you can suffice with 20 width templates.

[@Bitt3rSteel]

[@simonlevy1296]

Nice guide, thanks! Couple of quick notes I noticed durig my run: 1. Wait a few days after you have enough PP to justify on Yugo, in one of my runs the war goal expired 4 days before Trust in the West was finished, had to restart. Basically, the focus will end on July 14, 1937, so make sure your war goal will be valid through that date when you justify. 2. Make sure you garrison Tyrol when the Germans come for you. Bitter didn't and for some reason they left it alone, but in my game they took it and not controlling Tyrol prevents you from restoring Austria-Hungary. Couple of sad runs lol, but I'll get there!

[@TheXenomorphGuySMSE]

since NSB released, Czechoslovakia gets renames to Czechia whenever it doesn't own Slovakia, so during the civil war you become the Czech peoples republic. but it seems there is no mechanic to change the name back to Czechoslovakia when you own Slovakia again so your stuck as Czech peoples republic.

Sadly ireland doesnt have much depth besides some decisions from the UK, some political advisors, and a single general They start out with no air, sea, tank, or industrial research. Ireland has a decent amount of civs(for a minor), but a pathetic manpower and military industry. They start with core on northern ireland but sadly the uk gets cores on northern ireland meaning you cant start resistance there Also ireland doesnt have any formable nations (to my knowledge)

[@VelkejAjik]

Great video! I'm actually trying playing as you (except for one thing: I go right, no left, as I'd like to fight with Germany against USSR later) and get mostly everything done. High PP, high stability, WS around 50 %, 32 4-3-3 infantry divisions - 8 of them sitting on mutual border in Carpathia; and support artillery + aircraft, but Romania seems unbeatable to me. Austria gives me no troubles, always smash them hard. Yugoslavia is a little bit more harder, but in the end I push through Ljubljana and around Zagreb, which means end for Yugoslavs. However, after yugoslavian capitulation and re-moving my troops to romanian border, Romanians are already there with pretty big army (doesn't matter that they lost pretty big numbers in wave-attacking my carpathian forts) and my army isn't able to push through borders and to Bucharest. i think about one thing, which can make a difference: when you go left, you are invited into commitern, USSR is your ally, so Romanians need to keep troops on soviet border. However, when you go right, your relations with USSR are bad, so Romanians don't have to keep a significant number of divisions on soviet border, therefore their divisions are free to fight my southern army. Hopefully I'll figure it out, because I want to try fighting with Soviets as Bohemian Empire (or Austria-Hungary?) alongside with Germans and Axis.

[@montythemaggot1312]

[@fre3951]

Guide still works for NSB. Things to note (based on my run): 1) You have to wait about 20 days or so to start the support communism focus due to reduced communist support after the civil war, so trust in the west is delayed to around the 20th of July. Make sure you delay accordingly before you start your justification on Yugoslavia or it'll expire before the focus is done, bricking your run; 2) If you lose Innsbruck while taking out Hungary you can't form Austria-Hungary until you get it back, which will strain your manpower severely (and cause you to lose more states along the Dalmatian coast since your divs become weaker). Soviets will refuse to push unless you activate your orders, so a good compromise is setting your army to cautious and activating so soviets do most of the work up north; 3) There's a chance Poland joins the Comintern after Danzig or War, which delays allied involvement but widens the Axis front, so whether that helps or not I'm not too sure. Allies will get involved sooner or later and France will probably solo Italy through the Alps, so just sit tight if you're struggling down south; 4) Bulgaria might also feel too intimidated to join the war and stay out of it entirely. This is bad but not enough to brick your run. They'll justify on mini-Romania later on and get themselves at war with the Allies, which will puppet them, opening a new front against you. Greece is likely to join the Comintern when attacked by Italy and they can generally solo Allied Bulgaria, but you'll have to babysit their ports later; 5) I misclicked and had Kosovo join the war, so when Zog folded to Italy I had to rush an army there and ended up encircling some Italian troops as they landed. Albania later on allowed me to encircle and delete about two allied armies, so it wasn't all bad, but try not to do that :^) 6) IMPORTANT: Soviet Union and the Allies will go to war over Iran around mid '41. Don't join unless you feel you have to. Soviets will lose some territory before the front stabilizes, but they should hold after. They'll face some naval invasions in the Baltic and Mediterranean, so just prepare and train more troops until you feel confident enough to join.

[@kylematteson3509]

Also, I have found that if you wait too long to declare on Yugoslavia, Britain will come in and guarantee them, which will brick your run. Also, supply does not reach the Romanian border for your defensive line, so it is best to build your forts back one tile in the north to stay in supply range. I have tried this about 7 times in the past 48 hours and i keep missing it barely, either by taking too long to declare on yugoslavia (happened twice), messing up focus order on accident (Romania didn't come to war to back Yugo. Don't think i removed my guarantee of Romania that run) and didn't know about the supply thing and Romania broke through a 12 stack army by continously attacking, forcing them aside and then just invading my homeland while i tried to push through Yugo. Fun stuff ....

[@fre3951]

@@kylematteson3509 As long as you motorize the hub in Slovakia, only the easternmost tile will have bad supply, but it shouldn't be enough to suffer a breakthrough if you continuously cycle troops with the guys on the adjacent tile. Building the forts one tile back is of course fine as well. You should get the Romanian guarantee removed via focus on the 20/21st of July, so time your justification to be ready by then so you don't waste time declaring the war. And yeah about focus order, this run requires a rather specific early game you can't really stray from. Also, it might be in your best interest to build some quick railroads as you push into northern Yugoslavia so you can link the Istrian hub to your network.

[@kylematteson3509]

@@fre3951 the railroad idea is a great one. Thank you. And I just am not the best at two front micro so that northern cycling is rough when yugo is so hard to push into as it is. What combat width you been using? I’ve been messing with 15 and 17 and can’t figure out which I like.

[@fre3951]

@@kylematteson3509 IIRC doesn't Czechoslovakia start with 18w? I think that's what I used, I just run default 18w infantry bricks most of the time, adding support as it becomes available/feasible. You can add one line arty later and run a 9/1 div, which is a decent SP template that still runs fairly cheap. Turn the speed down for ease of micro, since it's a war that requires a decent bit of attention.

[@arnold_ondra7456]

So, I tried one cool method, that you play as Germany and you speedrun the territorial tree (Anschluss, Sudetenland, Vienna award, Fate of Czechoslovakia) and you take it as a whole, then you delete German army, get it into large equipment deficit by disabling all of its industry and delete all the troops, then just release Czechoslovakia, but choose the "play as" option. As Czechoslovakia, you can just make the Entente and ally Yugoslavia and Romania. Puppet/annex Hungary and Bulgaria. Now, just wait until Italy attacks Yugoslavia (at that time, Germany should be at war with allies and soon attack the Netherland, which will push them because of the British.) and you should be able to get into Munich in time. I recommend using paratroopers because Germany will rebuild and it won't be easy too. Allies should get enough air superiority in the region. + there is a small chance that USSR will invade Poland before Germany does, in that case, just redo. Please, if you try this, give me feedback, i want to know if it worked for you.

Czech letter pronunciation. We have basically no exceptions (no hard C or soft C etc). We have no silent letters and we spell phonetically. A = ah (android) Á = aah (aardvark) C = ts/tz (tzar) Č = ch (Chechnya) Ď = soft D (Dyatlov) E = eh (Enigma) Ě = ye (Yevgen) É = long e, kinda like ae but with no a sound (we still spell ae as ae). Aeronautics is a good example. G = Never a soft G (as in Georgia), always hard G (as in Gangster) Ch = kh (Charisma) I = always like in India, Igor or Ian. Never like in I or science. Í = ee (spleen) J = y (yes), Loanwords can use it however (e.g. we still pronounce jeep as jeep not as yeep) Ň = like Spanish ñ, the kind of ni sound in onion O = always pronounced the same as oh. This will be confusing for foreigners but we do say o'o (as in zoo) and never do an oo sound (except for loanwords). Example would be orgasm or every o in onomatopoeia. Ó = long o, like in oar R = always rolled, never silenced. Very pronounced, but not like French do it (you'd have a speech impediment if you'd use French R here). Error is a decent example (if enunciated correctly and not as "eahuh") Ř = I have no clue where to rven start with this. Our very rolled and pronounced R plus Zh sound mixed into one. Even our children have issues learning it. Even Slovakians struggle with it. Poles have similar sound (Rz). There's no english equivalent to the sound. Š = sh (Shelby) Ť = Ti (Tiananmen) U = like in put, never like in cut Ú/Ů = same sound, the only difference is when the letter us used. Generally Ú is always used when at the start of a word and Ů when anywhere else in the word. But there are of course some rare esoteric exceptions (I think like 3 or 4 words that are loanwords from French use ú in the middle). Oo sound (Zoo, Do) V/W = same sound. We do not differentiate between the two and only use W for loanwords. It's the V sound as in Valium. Never a W sound like in War. X = always "eks", never a Z or Zh etc sound. Like in expatriate or expensive. If the word starts with X (Xylophone) it's a "ks" sound. Y = same rules as I, we have extensive grammar rules for when to use I or Y (not gonna bother you with that since that would be entry lesson to Czech Grammar) but the pronunciation is pretty much always the same. Yvonne is a good example. Z = always the hard S sound/Zet sound, never a Zee sound. Like in Zanzibar. Ž = zh (Zhukov)

[@Thejerusalemhascome]

you forgot F my friend, very nice though! My father is Slovak and I am trying to learn the language, this helps! If I'm not mistaken F is pronounced like (Fuh) right?

[@VanBourner]

@@Thejerusalemhascome Thank you. I do not really consider F to be pronounced differently, there aren't any instances I can think of in English where F does not sound like F. And if you want to do the alphabeth, both "ef" and "fuh" are acceptable. But for example there's no difference between pronouncing f in english "factor" and czech "faktor". Efektivní vs Efficient also has the same F sound and so on. I really can't think of an example in English where F does not sound the same as our F. Hence why I skipped M, N etc.

[@shinybaldboy4384]

I created a similar process as you but I instead went fascist. Here is the process: -Do the civil war in order to change ideology as demonstrated in his video -As soon as the civil war starts, justify on Austria like he did but not Yugoslavia. Justify on Hungary instead. Reason is justifying on Yugoslavia creates too much world tension and Hungary is also just an easier target. -Join axis and give Sudetenland to Germany (make sure to not take any of the fortification focuses except the first one) -Do trust in the west focus -Once WW2 starts, don't join it. Instead, immediately start justifying on Yugoslavia once Germany is at war with France and UK. Them being at war decreases the chance that they will guarantee Yugoslavia. You can also improve your relations with them in order to decrease the chance even more. -Now in my game Romania had become fascist by the time I declared war on Yugoslavia meaning I couldn't fight them both at once so just annex all of Yugo. Make sure to not call any of your allies into the war. But if Romania is still democratic and you're fighting them both, then you have one less country to worry about. -Once (or right before) Germany declares war on USSR, immediately leave the axis and start justifying on Germany. Make sure you have all your fronts prepared (Bulgaria, Albania, Italy, Romania etc). This is the hard part but if you can pull it off then congrats. I just made superior firepower infantry divisions with artillery, anti-air, one medium tank for armor bonus, etc. -Once you have won the war, annex all the territories you need for Austria-Hungary, and then boom you're done!

I didn't catch the part to leave Romania alive, and thus got a British guarantee on Hungary (because they stayed no-aligned, for not announcing the Treaty of Trianon) and delayed the Austro-Hungarian formation for about 2 years (since now I have to prepare a fight against the Allies)... So this POINT should absolutely be HIGHLIGHTED! I had to order 66 the UK and France to quickly finish the Allies before the US could join, lucky. But then again, the Soviets attacked Poland and chipped away half of the world for their insanely high land-combat war score. I still think the casualties should affect the war score count less because the AI is only ever good at killing off its infinite manpower pool...

Hey bittersteel, make an updated version of this guide,man. I tried it it doesn’t work the same way as yours did. The UK and France will declare on me when I declare on Yugoslavia

I'm trying this by rolling back to 1.10.5 Collie. I'll letcha know how it goes. I will say, it's a real nice feature that this game has with Steam.

The fleet collector.

Personally i don't think that it is possible to achive this way in 2022. Tried to do it the same(ish) way, i could defeat basically anyone alone, but Germany attackes me early 38, i can't pull in the soviets because i would be at war with the allies, and they would naval invade me from the yugs. Geting the manpower and the main equipments is extremely hard, even with tricking early total mobilization during the civil war. Don't even have time to attack Hungary. It could help with the manpower and factories, but i tried this mission for the last 4 or 5 afternoons.... I even tried paratroopers, they helped a lot, but just not inough.

Great video. In trying to duplicate your success I found that I don't have the same National Focus trees that you do. Mine is Political Effort rather than political direction, and doesn't allow me to change governments until 1940. Do you know why this is?

[@Bitt3rSteel]

Doyou own Death or Dishonor? The focus tree is part of that DLV

Funny enough my first run is exactly the "worse case sinario"

Integrating an already created puppet should give you at least some degree of compliance.

[@wilsontheknight]

You’ve been demonetized for saying shit. Disgraceful! Also love your vids. Could you do one for achievement puppet master

[@Bitt3rSteel]

Thanks! I have a puppet master video up already, just check out the uploads

[@gocool_2.0]

Can you do a video on Asian countries. Like British Raj or Iran( Person empire) or Iraq (Arabian empire) or Indonesia/dutch east Indies (majapahit)

I remember I got Munich disagreement cause Germany just didn’t put anyone on my border for Sudetenland and just walked in
