Repeating this request from a previous video, but I think a great future Stak game should be "The Great Lakes Confederation" mod. It is a fascinating mod where through a series of military miracles, a large Native American confederation of tribes managed to survive centered around the Great Lakes and bordered by Canada and the USA. I think that Stakuyi should play this mod and take back all of the land in North America, Central America, and South America from the colonizers and unite all of the America's under the control of the Great North Confederation, wresting control back from the colonizers. He should do all of this while playing ironman and, if possible, having his faction ideology remain either Non-aligned or Democratic.

The "Rome-ania" joke is maybe made a little less funny by the fact that that is indeed the etymology of the name. The "foundational state myth", if you wanna call it that, is based heavily on being a Roman province.

[@TheAxeManOfTheUSSR]

Thank god. I never knew how to beat Germany as Poland. But now I know

[@tzeentchvonsheo9868]

The habsbug path is way easier, since you can get full czechoslovakia with forts via focus

[@polishscribe674]

Note: completing April constitution, empowering sanation right and choosing not to invite falangists to government allows you to have same guy as leader and army theorist, which gives sick bonuses to non aligned popularity, army experience gain and land doctrine costs 80 without any focus boosts. My favorite, especially that i don't have any DLCs.

[@GogaPlays]

If you refuse every canditate twice, a romonov will appear, it is a secret path and on this path you can do the pan-slavic federation, and if you get to moskow on this path you will be able to put a bear as the king.

[@soviet_doge1263]

@@stakuyi for getting the personal unions you only need claim of 80, not any point to go for 100, also for Anastasia or Commonwealth I recommend giving up Danzig and focusing Soviet union as with the greater Commonwealth and uniting Slavs you get a lot of cores there as well as cores on a chunk of eastern Germany and with the Slavic you get cores on Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria (and through some weird buggy shit with Bulgaria and Yugoslavia getting more cores you can get even more. Also for space marines I like to go for the flame support company and light tank scout support company as with the right tank/division design I get about 20 armour and 40 piercing

[@adamhrin9866]

What defensive template did you use to just hold the line?

[@FrogiMen13]

With Polish buffs to anti air being so strong you can very very easily get heavy cannon 2 for tanks way way before the war, also fing with Gdańsk foccus is not worth cuz any war or port in province that isnt Gdańsk or Gdynia allows you to switch export law, for example if you go civil war route you can get both export foccus and war eco in 37

[@ER7LA]

Have you played Germany using the oppose Hitler tree? It is a blast!

[@ShackleYT]

following this strategy, you could go even spicier. After defeating germany, what i did was replace the close support gun with the medium cannon and added close machine guns, and it just ate the russians alive. i'd also like to add that you could grab light tanks to add flamethrower support to be even more like space marines

[@ShackleYT]

or instead of artillery, slap a howitzer on the tank

[@anidioticgenius6393]

Currently, because of the new DLC, Space Marine divisions have been changed and you the current meta has you make a division that has 7 inf, 1 aa, and 1 art with recon tanks and whatever support you need, that's the current meta

[@stakuyi]

Standard wise perhaps but you need some beefier units to fight the Germans and the soviets. We don’t have the industry to get all of that out in time

[@anidioticgenius6393]

@@stakuyi But as nations with higher industries such as Germany, Russia or the States, they can mass produce light tanks and flame tanks in the thousands by early 38. I did it as Germany and had a full army in 38. As well, because of this meta, you can safely ignore the air force because of the use of AA. But everyone has their own cup of tea
