Remember that Slovakia is a starting nation in the 1939 scenario.

And "africa orientale italiana"

[@krasnamerah1926]

@@GameFanaticBR, is that BBA-only? Because i didn't own it and Italy directly held AOI in the 1939 start before automatically creating AOI a few days after starting.

- You could join Japan’s faction and take parts of China (or puppet communist China for manpower) - Or I guess you could invade the Netherlands through Germany (with paratroopers on the victory points) for some waffles and sweet Indonesian manpower - Or you could just bring back the rat…

A little know fact is that the last Viking to invade England from Normandy, William the Conqueror, also had problems with his invasion. But like ISP, he was able to go back to the autosave until he won the Battle of Hastings on the sixth try.

[@raggum1052]

William wasn't a viking, The actual viking, Harald Hardrada was unfortunately on ironman mode and got shat on early game 😢

[@obombomattatetrahondamog1461]

@@xijinping4690 There is a story of one viking, holding off the entire anglo saxon army for ages, until some dudes in a barrel, floating down the river, shoved a spear up through the bridge into his asshole no joke.

[@mori7929]

He was descended from Vikings and the Duchy of Normandy was founded by Rollo the Viking but William wouldn't have considered himself a Viking. He would have likely considered himself Norman and later English. The former of which was a mixture of Frankish and Scandinavian cultures, but was a settled Christian state that had no formal ties to Vikings or Scandinavian kingdoms

Someone commented about this a while ago but a dlc around japan (maybe asia in general) and the US would be nice (instinctively said dlc cause paradox dont do good updates)

[@captain_hammer]

If you pause at 15:04, you can see that ISP did all that for two cores on some barely populated states, 5% stability and war support, 1 level of infrastructure in one state, 3 building slots, and a naval dockyard.

i like icelands focus tree more than the other ones for one reason you can make destroyers and cruisers from only convoys without needing manpower

Wow, that split of India... by the AI is ... yah that's actually an impressive peace deal...

[@Thedefenses]

fun fact, the other paths for Iceland can get 4 research slots, its only the fascist path that´s locked to 3. another fun fact, the democratic/non-aligned path can get rid of and make the Icelandic economy a buff, the communist and fascist paths will have it be a negative forever.

[@vikingman5384]

That is a dumb decision. It is so much to research, so they should fix it

[@CoffeeSuccubus]

Geographynow said if there's a new nation, they'll break the alphabetical order to cover the new nation So I guess it's the same for A to Z

[@artquimine2170]

I have a wonderful suggestion ! I found a concept where you play every starting nation in HOI4 from the letter Z to the letter A ! It's called HOI4 Z2A
