I've been told there can be an issue with croatia rising up during the attack on Yugoslavia. Two fixes for this: 1. Do not call Germany into this war 2. Get to Zagreb as quickly as possible, this will prevent the croatians from being able to rise up

[@terrarossa879]

"We're gonna make Hungary suck less" I clapped when I heard this line!!

[@hatless_spider]

Hopefully I delivered! If nothing else, I had a lot of fun figuring this one out!

[@red_seven_]

The austrian referendum is a two-stage event. The first part is the decision if the referendum will be held at all or straightaway ignored. The chances for that are fixed 80/20 (as long as they're non-aligned) without any modifiers. The second part is the referendum itself which you can influence by opinion, railroad focus etc. to get it up to 95% probability towards annexation. So out of the initial 80% 'only' 95% succeed which gives you an overall chance of 76% on the entire event.

Me looking for a consistent AH guide being blessed by Mr. Hatless :)

[@hatless_spider]

Perfect timing!

[@Hilter420]

I got the achievment years ago but I still watch basically every guide for it. It's such a fun path

[@hatless_spider]

I really had a lot of fun with this! I hope other people following the guide will too I'm similar, I've watched a ton of different guides for this one 😁

go back to art school man. please dont go into politics

[@a12475]

It’s very fun but very challenging, I did this before BBA so I don’t know how hard it is with planes involved.

[@tomatensaf]

We all hate RNG still can't believe they made an Achievement about literally the AI on A-Hist picking the needed Paths

Lol *Some conditions may apply*

[@MBSteinNL]

Hatless, it won’t give influence to ideologies if they sit at 0,00%. 0,01% and higher though will get a share in line with a formula based on current influence, gross per day gains and net effective gains.

[@hatless_spider]

Good to know! Thanks for the explanation!

[@MBSteinNL]

@@hatless_spider 1 extra thing - Dominions I believe have a rule you can’t build in them as the overlord except via focus, but should check ingame to be certain

[@hatless_spider]

@MBSteinNL i figured it was something like that, since I was able to build in their territory later after I reduced their autonomy

[@snekkie117]

this is extremely rng dependent aswell, if you dont get fascist assault divisions you can be delayed to becoming fascist till or around the time of reunification youll have much lower stability too because thats assuming you do a bunch of decisions to get fascist. then your justification wont be over till 38 or even later. unfortunately this is just as much rng as normal if not more since youre so reliant on that one thing the newest dlc the germans also commonly for some odd reason dont go for danzig even on hisorical. it just breaks the AI

[@antasil5768]

its a solid strat, but I still prefer to roll the dice with Otto ;-) Good video!

[@szczesliwyszpieg7462]

Was wondering if this was going to be made into a video. I remember strugling with forming austria hungary

[@evilgenius3089]

Also I’m having some trouble with the war in Italy. I do what you do but when I try to maneuver my divisions to open spots to advance into Italy like you did the Italians always come out of nowhere and halt my offenses. Also the Italians seem to have MANY more divisions in my game than yours, the Germans keep stealing all of my war participation, and my war is taking so much longer so I’m stuck. Am I doing something wrong/do you got any tips?

[@electricVGC]

This is a great video I like limiting the RNG even if you can't extinguish it

[@hatless_spider]

Well you *can* fight austria and still do this strat, but there would be significantly more pain involved, so that's why I recommend a restart instead *if* you get unlucky

[@Fabioonn]

I will try your strategy, the Austria Hungary Achievement always broke me because some random bullshit messed everything up. Edit: Thanks for the great strategy it worked nearly perfectly. Apart from the one time Croatia suddenly spawned out of Yugoslavia and joined the Axis. But i made a safe before every war so it didnt ruin a run. It actually felt pretty easy which surprised me because that achievement made me quit my all achievement run in the past. Thank you :)

[@billyzm]

Of course this wouldn't be a plain monarchist guide, you just gotta throw in some brown colors to spice it up! I will say though, "rolling the dice" with Otto does Bohemia pretty well, as long as Germany is demanding Sudetenland, beacuse I have yet to see the Czech not fold. I actually did quite a few runs in NSB (unless Paradox again decided to screw the player) before I found out about ironman scum. The only real RNG is actuall the Austria referrendum. This way you can also cheese away the German wargoal by focus timing (I am sure you have heard of this one). After having played Turkey and Greece, I think that having the combined forces of Austria, Hungary, and Czechoslakia and pushing from the north into Yugoslavia and Romania is paradise in comparison. Allies is relatively easy with either a fair fight or a bit of cheezy 66. I persoanlly prefer not to call in any allies (puppet or not), espeially not Germany, to keep the fight controllable and the borders clean :)

[@megagerbil2503]

Trying this guide 6 months later, Mussolini is NOT leaving an open tile for me to go through and is heavily stacking the lines, i don't know what to do.

[@chrosalses]

What infantry template did you use?

[@SlamminCameron]

I’ll do anything for a Hugeoslovia guide

[@evilgenius3089]

Is it just me or does every time I try to annex Austria they refuse. Am I doing something wrong? I’m making them like me and doind the railroads but it never works.

[@hatless_spider]

You have to restart from beginning, you can't savescum the event

[@JDothan]

@@hatless_spiderand make sure you aren’t overriding a previous Ironman save, I swear I kept having that 5% chance happen until I created a new save

[@JDothan]

1:54 wouldn’t it make a ton more sense to put the first factories on guns because they’ll be at 100% efficiency and then put the next ones on arty? (Or at least most of them on guns)

[@hatless_spider]

@@JDothan yep that can work! It's definitely a good idea to use the efficiency bonuses

[@JDothan]

@@hatless_spiderfirst time doing this run myself, I didn’t realize you get 40k guns from Austria and Czechoslovakia 😂

[@Pydgin]

I swear I've had the referendum fail twice in a row... You're telling me the odds of that is 1 in 400?

[@hatless_spider]

If you improved relations with austria and completed reintegrate the railroads both times, then each time, you had a 95% chance to annex austria. Rolling two nat 1s in a row on a d20 is 1/400

[@bismarck09]

I keep getting unlucky with the Czech event, is waiting for Germany to do the Sudetenland better? what is the change of odds and can Germany still declare war on me if I do?

[@hatless_spider]

Yes that will give significantly better odds! But even if you have to fight the czechs it isn't the worst, but definitely free units would be way nicer

[@bismarck09]

do you know what the exact odds are though? (js curious) I notice you declared on the allies way earlier than when Germany would usually go for the Sudetenland, would the tactic of getting the Benelux, France, and Poland still work just as fine or will it be a bit harder?

[@hatless_spider]

@bismarck09 i think it should still work, but not 100% sure As far as the modifier of germany demanding sudetenland, I know it multiplies the positive odds by 10. Which is HUGE! I would guess you'd have like 93% odds of success annexation, probably 3 or 4% for puppet, and other 3% fail

[@bismarck09]

@hatless_spider I guess I'll try it, maybe the greater amount of preparation time will help as well, if not, then I'll just use this other way (your way) and hope and pray I get lucky Wonderful guide btw, love your work 👍

Germany kicked me out of the axis and declared war on me 😢

[@qazdr6]

IRRC the ai has 100% on protect Czech; so maybe 1) annex 🇮🇹, 2) start Protect Czech focus, 3) delete units, 4) release - play as 🇮🇹, 5) let ai A-H Finnish focus and annex Czech, 6) reconqer A-H, 7) release and play as A-H

bruh I got the referendum denied two times in a row :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@hatless_spider]

Noooo! It is possible, just highly unlikely 😅

[@labeatkuqi]

@@hatless_spider 1st time i tried it went well but couldn’t finish england in time since they stacked their ports then US joined. Then I had the two times denied, the third time i got no assault divisions so i had to spend pp on banning dem parties. So yeah pretty unlucky runs 😬😬

[@hatless_spider]

@@labeatkuqi bummer! Hope your next one goes smooth or you can overcome the bad luck

Should probably do protect Czechoslovakia before justifying on albania

[@niku4154]

I know it's against the purpose of the video - that being getting the Achievements - but it's laughable that the easiest way to form Austria-Hungary is to.... use Czechoslovakia, turn brown and roll over the Balkans using the Germans and calling them into the war so they don't do anything to you.

Dude you’d look really really good bald but you look kind of creepy with the hair you’re keeping.
