If You Win This HOI4 Multiplayer Game, You Get $4,000!

The Draft: • When You Randomize Eve... (watch this to see how the teams got drafted)
After drafting their countries and teammates, the players are ready for the Great Game!
If you win this HOI4 Multiplayer Game, you will get $4,000!
It's time for the biggest Hearts of Iron 4 MP game ever!
The Great Game is the first ever full HOI4 Multiplayer Game but in an esports tournament!
This isn't a 1v1 competition like the HOI4 International.
The Great Game will include the entire HOI4 Map as well as include every country in the game.
Before the game started, there were 7 team captains.
These 7 team captains were randomly assigned 7 major countries in HOI4.
After getting their majors, they were assigned their teammates who would play minor countries.
This is where the actual draft begins, these 7 teams would select their minor countries that they want to team up with the major country they got.
So if Player 1 got Germany, he might look to draft Poland for his team.
If Player 2 got Japan, he might look to draft China for this team.
This is how we got to the 7 teams competing in the greatest Hearts of Iron 4 game ever!
These players will be competing for a prize pool of $4,000 which will be split up by the winning team.
This HOI4 Tournament might open up a new world of possibilities in Hearts of Iron 4 Multiplayer!
If this goes well, you might be seeing a lot more money matches in Hearts of Iron 4!
The Great Game will include a lot of the participants from the last HOI4 Tournament we did, the HOI4 International where people 1v1-ed for a 5000$ prize pool.
Alongside the HOI4 International participants such as Grisha, 7D and Lennard, there will be some people that you may know.
Ludi Et Historia, Bittersteel, DiscardPixel, Eltouni and THE LITERAL SOVIET GENERAL ZHUKOV COMING BACK FROM THE UNDEAD REALMS will join us too!
THIS IS THE GREAT GAME!
THIS IS HOI4 ESPORTS!
THIS IS HOI4 NO STEP BACK MULTIPLAYER FOR $4,000!

My friends and I still use tanks in mp. But only in historical games, ahist games are too early.

Most recently it was late 38 when WW2 began and Germany had 2 half equipped Mediums but even tho they weren’t probably equipped they were enough to break the French.

[@alexandrearaujo2877]

I'm actually shocked for the fact that the US-PT-SA team won the tournament. Now, I won't lie: I rooted for them from beginning to end for, well, patriotic reasons, but I didn't genuinely think they'd pull this off without obviously facing very meaningful resistance. The choice of countries made by the group of those three players was in itself a pretty genius idea: If everything was to go according to plan (which most of it did, at least for some time), the US would have to sweep Canada and the UK away in the North and assist Portugal (after taking over Brazil) in the Guineas and the islands in the Caribbean, therefore cleaning up and asserting its dominance in the Americas, making it a safe haven and a nice backyard for the US and Portugal everytime they got pushed back in Iberia and, with Brazil becoming another big core for the latter, the Portuguese Empire would never capitulate, no matter how many times they lost the mainland. Meanwhile, South Africa would help Portugal secure its biggest and most important colonies in Africa, Angola and Mozambique, and both would invade and push everyone else away from the continent back to Europe, and later set a whole new front in Italy, by invading its southern half from the North of Africa (just like real life) and even take over the oil-rich provinces of the Middle East. And last, but certainly not least, Portugal itself would kill off Spain right after it'd be done with its Civil War, making sure it would only have to deal with France and later the UK in the game and always serve as a nice foothold for any invasions further into Europe, which would always be busy fighting itself. Later on, it would use its relatively small, yet extremely significant colonies in Asia, like Goa in India, Macau in China and East Timor right next to the Dutch East Indies, to launch sneaky and game changing naval invasions that would help fight against the Japanese and later Soviet-led teams and grow some nice gains in all of southern Asia. All in all, being in safe corners, fending off the smallest amount of enemies possible and later expand inland and surround them on all sides from all sides of the globe, in all continents. This campaign was super exciting and let me tell you: Tommy had me jumping from my seat throughout the entire video.

[@VasiliyOgniov]

Norbert's story sounds like an anime protagonist one, ngl. Man, its fucking wild. There is something beautiful about it - some random guy through sheer luck gets invited to one of the biggest community tournaments in HOI IV history, playing on someone else's PC, cuz his own ain't good enough to handle the game and makes one of the clutchest plays I had ever seen, deciding the fate of the game. I'm so, so happy for him. Hope his new computer serves him well. His parents must be hella proud of him. At least I would be. On a side note - I have always said that Portugal is probably one of the most underrated countries in the game. Getting a massive amount of manpower (and pretty good industry, for that matter) in monarchist path in addition to the colonies all around the world, makes it probably the most flexible country in the game. You can have comfortable naval and ground invasions virtually anywhere. Besides all of that, they are non-aligned, which means they can join basically anyone, which makes it even more flexible. I don't think it can do all that much on its own, however, but it makes Portugal pretty much the best supporting pick for USA or Japan - majors, who lack ability to get shit done outside of their home region on their own. Team USA as a whole felt the best prepared. Like they planned everything prior to the game and it somehow went perfectly

I've been playing and watching Hoi4 since release in 2016, and can honestly say this was one of if not the most enjoyable, tense and unique game I've seen. Well done to all the players!

Seeing this made me so happy... Portugal is my favorite nation in SP, especially for a world conquest!

[@1mol831]

Its nice to core colonies lol.

[@muscle2714]

The Soviet team were the mvp for me, the war in Germany and team grisha pushing so deep into his territory just for Soviets to beat Germany and manged to push them all the way back, it just screams iron will and a story in out of some book

[@tjhydd]

Markoni you are a legend for your on point editing skills. Tommy and the rest of us who can't spend 9 hours watching the stream are lucky to have you.

[@TommyKay]

THANKS BROTHER

[@NON155]

HOW ABOUT ALL AFRICA VS THE WORLD??

[@boyishmallard9404]

It was amazing watching this live. I don't know if hoi4 content will ever reach this point again.

[@TommyKay]

believe!

[@felyp3able]

I see potencial in some players man, Italy did great considering Hungary did not got Austria, Soviet union atacking Germany and holding Japan was a great move, but South Africa, USA and Portugal did really well, they won the strategy and the tatics game, well done.

[@JCDSPC]

Team Nayf won it on the Draft. Well played. Great stuff you got going on here jung Tommy.

[@christophmaier4397]

whoever drew USA already won from day 1

[@JCDSPC]

@@christophmaier4397 I think getting the US is good enough to never lose, but there was still a chance for someone out of Europe or Asia to get massive enough to "win on points". But their picks were amazing, easily locking 3 continents while being mostly safe from the early game battle royale.

[@sethyboy0]

@@JCDSPC Yea I agree. Imagine how different it would have been if they went with Tommy and chat’s initial idea of Canada + Mexico. The Spain war was also massive for the balance of Europe and woulda been much more difficult without Portugal’s help. I wonder what that kind of drafting strat would look like if they didn’t start with USA. The next game will have a much better draft for sure. People will study focuses more so they don’t fall into a trap like China and Hungary. They’ll also be more aware of nonsense like the Portuguese union with brazil. New DLCs will also allow more minor nations to do meme shit like that and evolve into powerhouses.

This event was legendary, ENGAGEMENT Norbert could end the discrimination against non subs he deserves to be MVP

[@aidenbooksmith2351]

Wait can someone explain to me what happened around 45:30 and 46:00? I feel like there's an important thing I missed here Why did Tommy get so angry?

[@aidenbooksmith2351]

@@friend4470 Thank you so much for the elaboration!

Seeing how it was tough to put the game into an hour long video, is there a chance we could get a longer Extended Edition/Directors Cut? :D

That was an amazing content. From ban&pick phase to the Game. So much content, So much effort. Thx to everyone who makes this game possible especially Markoni , Tommy and the host.

[@Dragno191]

KZbin gang is larger than Twitch gang so therefore we win.

[@fadeclassy507]

this was far the best stream you have made tommy and i hope you do more in the future like you said on stream well done

[@TommyKay]

[@omarcepeda9121]

Why were some countries banned from playing and how come Germany wasn’t allowed in the beginning to take more territories?

[@mxmlnlcdcdffmnt2232]

The rules

[@Tdiggeddydawg91]

Best video I watched in ages! Unfortunately didn't catch the stream live but will definitely have to watch the whole video on twitch. Looked like such an epic game, great work Tommy for organising it and Markoni for a great video!

[@kashmirigamester2897]

Brooo I wish there is more of this tournaments and not those 1v1 thing

[@leod4768]

Big respect Tommy, I love how you are reforming the hoi4 and maybe even the whole Paradox community and that you are actually working with the game and bringing it to the next level. Keep going my boy

[@TommyKay]

LETS DO IT MISAKI!

[@azerbaijandemocraticrepubl9624]

Dude China player did really bad, he could've done better I know it because China is my main you can't even imagine what you can do with that country.

[@TheReal99Gamer]

I will say, Millennium Dawn would be epic to see with this kinda concept.

[@soupncsoupy]

Please make more. Keep having fun with it Experiment with lower prize games in order to test out rules. You really have something good here, and also the possibility of making it something great. Just found you recently. Love what I've seen brother.

[@ouraveragepolakian8760]

honestly in order to balance the game either you set a lot of rules to block the USA or you give an extra allies to every other faction
