I Suffered in HOI4 to Win the Hardest Kaiserreich Germany Game

I made the extremely wise decision to make my Germany campaign as hard as possible in Kaiserreich since the mod was quickly updated to Arms Against Tyranny.

"Ukraine is saved" College conveniently forgetting that he was the first one to invade Ukraine

[@idontlikerome2744]

Nobody was sweating the details that day, "the city is saved!" its what is gonna be in the newspapers and history books lol

[@takashi1745]

Saved from socialism and russian imperialism

[@donpollo3154]

'Oh, I wouldn't say free, more like under new management'

[@Лукошко-э1н]

Saved from ukrainians

[@tylerhendrix14]

Actually technically it was Mongolia who invaded Ukraine first. (Mongols vs Kievian Rus)

[@kelanbates2121]

Man I hope this becomes a full time job for you one day so I can watch your content way more often

[@kraus4915]

i suggest you should check the Bokoen's hoi4 videos college also in them especially the italian panama where college makes a very funny joke

[@kelanbates2121]

[@Luka-qg5ov]

"There is supposed to be a grand rework of this focus tree but its progressing at a Star Citizen pace." from a team member - it's coming sooner than you think :)

[@voiceactorofdovakiin]

sooner than 2 weeks?

[@Superbl0bby]

Soon + 2 weeks - From a TNO dev

[@pwh1981]

Mm...two more weeks. Not great, not terrible.

[@Luka-qg5ov]

@@voiceactorofdovakiin Very very very confident it will be this year. I personally hope before Christmas but I'm not the dev for Germany specifically, so it's hard for me to say. Not sooner than 2 weeks though.

[@bidenator9760]

Glad to hear it! Love the mod, keep up the good work.

[@Maxeh]

0:45 that aged well LOL, they just announced the new German update for next month! Can't wait to see you suffer again lmao

[@derAlphabet]

Losing a weekend and lacking the feeling of accomplishment. Seems like a solid deal! Even did it without alcohol 👏

[@TheBigSal]

Why is this the first I'm hearing of College being a content creator in his own right? Good shit man, keep it up

[@AmericanCaesarian]

If you don't want the frontlines to be so horrible, use Field Marshall frontlines by shift left clicking, this works in all circumstances except some weird crossings (like crimea)

[@TheHalfwayXBray]

was thinking the same thing, they work so much better and would have solved all of his problems

[@blazingfish8486]

He knows about that.

[@Gulitize]

In my Qing Playthrough the arms market was what decided my game, being able to build up my army in the beginning, but you are right currently the arms market is mostly good for the beginning. The best countries to take advantage of it are countries with heavily unbalanced factory count (which Qing is in Kaiserreich).

[@theomegapyrope9715]

in kaiserreich, the russian army AI exploits enemy weaknesses and disorganisation to advance this is to remind the player that kaiserreich is a work of fiction

[@mickethegoblin7167]

Lol

[@2Links]

I was gonna say "this wasn't that bad" at around the 10 minute mark... then you told us about the naval invasions.

[@MasteringJohn]

The moment it turned into a Napoleon simulator.

[@hmm2206]

I love your videos because you have a storytelling technique to them. Makes watching very interesting

[@Joey_Freshwater]

Once you're fighting a war on this scale, especially when you buff the enemy nations, it's better just to use the Army Group frontline on fronts you aren't microing. It isn't ideal, but not having to worry about gaping holes in the front while you deal with other things is invaluable.

[@ryanrg1545]

0:34 one funny thing: for some weird reason my kaiserreich wasn't updated with the DLC when i started playing the game i noticed the political tab was quite broken and i'm not even joking, when i openned the IMO tab there was a image of Walter White with the text "Jesse, wtf are you talking about" this was just amazing.

[@bellicapelli8155]

this made me crack

[@notluckyplayer9971]

I just found your channel two days ago and im loving these videos. Hope this becomes full time job for you so i can watch your content way more often

[@TDenterpriser]

For a real Germany Kaiserreich challenge set all nations that can become socialist to do so in the game rules

[@guyfromcollege]

I mean who else was left at that point lol

[@TDenterpriser]

Yeah true but having Soviet Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Latvia, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland turn socialist makes your front line much more chaotic lol

[@garrettjohnson343]

If you want to shoot yourself have Austria implode as well.

[@lememz]

@@TDenterpriser netherlands is the absolute worst, with other nations they are either too irrelevant or you can do something to prevent them from flipping, but with the netherlands there's literally nothing you can do and it will create this absolute terrible frontline ripe to be filled with tons of stacks from the internationale

[@wolv0223]

Amusingly, last word I saw was that the German rework was coming this year- as in 2023. And, in fact, there was a teaser that has people thinking we'll get a Progress Report tomorrow (though we'll see if that pans out). Edit: So turns out there was a Progress Report for Germany today- or at least a Minor Monday for Interwar Germany Lore, with promises of the coming Mondays and Fridays having more lore and gameplay overviews in more Minor Mondays and Progress Reports. Oh, and as for the actually update? It was said to be "code complete" and in the middle of playtesting. So it's a-coming.

[@igorpavao1665]

[@jadentoonsyt5309]

New game :O

[@micheloi4128]

My respect, such a task is crazy. Nice video, the weekend was worth it.

[@sebastian3217]

Thank you for including the Tank design. Stuff like that is really helpful. It amazes me to see you progressing so much with each one of your vids College :)

[@definetlynotamainacc8773]

0:01 Man thats my every hoi4 game in a nutshell what are you talking about💀💀💀

[@danielcrofts5181]

You are the most entertaining gaming KZbinr, end of story. Don’t stop making these videos bro

[@VynalDerp]

Naval Invasions are the primary reason I prioritize having good defensive specialized divisions guarding every single port that is possible to naval invade. Expensive, but it costs far more men and time to deal with them later.

[@ReichLife]

Amusing German rework was released mere 5 weeks later.

[@leonardlopez4106]

college can micro the side of a barn XD but at least he makes pretty good content B)

[@ScarTalon]

really enjoyable video as always

[@CJ_1871]

0:47 you were foolish for doubting our Kaiserdevs

[@AceofSpades511]

The classic Entente move by demanding all France despite doing nothing to help.

[@bencurran3204]

keep getting those subs man, youre doing good

[@matthewlazaric3543]

German rework comes out tomorrow, are you gonna do this again? lol

Lmao they announced things for the grand rework and we were promised teasers for today

[@TheArthas2]

Still hoping to see the Bokoen1 gang try out Equistria at War.

[@stonedtowel]

This is exactly why I never leave a valuable port without even a lil 12 width to at least buy some time. But I see you were stretched to the max with manpower problems lmao. Great work nonetheless.

[@supersoldaroinlegion8378]

the update is out now

I think you have a good storyteller ability 😊

0:50: And just after this, the Germany rework went into overdrive and will now release on December 1. 😅 And LMAO, should've given the Sand French their country back, that would have helped a bit with the naval invasion issue.

Turns out College can micro the side of a barn, in singleplayer :^)

remember to always garrison your ports

I thought you could recall volunteer divisions in Kasierriech, or is that just Kasierredux because that's the only one I've played for the past few years.

[@imperify7671]

College, my glorious king

[@caseblue2232]

I have a even worse challenge idea for you that literally no one tried because nobody even know that country existed. That is the "Second Volunteer Army" in Kaiserredux, it is a breakaway nation in the 2nd Russia Civil War, and I promise you, it is impossible to beat. You can try to play as the "Western Russian Army" which is a bit easier. But really, REALLY hope you can consider the idea, and doing the impossible :)

Now do Bauer.

[@miniaturejayhawk8702]

12:28 this is just western countries vs non-western countries in general lol. Just think of all the hostage exchanges made in the 20 years. Or compare the soviet-afghan war with the american-afghan war.

[@CM-db5cg]

To your point about the arms market being 'gimmicky', you literally used it as intended in this game, you where a major power with solid industry selling shit to boost your civilian industry (which yeah a lot of AI buys guns when maybe they shouldn't but for the chinese nations, or the nations in civil war it can be really useful to have that early game armaments boost). And 'just build mills' is *fine* before the war, but during a war you can get way more bang for your buck by just straight up buying equipment to fill gaps, shit like infantry equipment is going to be basically the same no matter who you buy it from and it allows you to concentrate your mills on the good shit. Ofc, as germany who doesn't have control of the oceans and DOES have a massive amount of mills that's not nessecary but say as Canada or non-communist France? absolutly worth it.
