In case anyone doesn’t know, you can go into your save files for hoi4, copy/paste the save file in a different folder, and you can use that as a “checkpoint” that you can copy/paste back into the hoi4 save files if you don’t want to do a full game restart on something.

Managing seven fronts at once, keeping track of all those focuses and research, and being able to seamlessly integrate the production and balance of military forces of each into one superpower would be awesome to see.

You having a hard time finding and destroying the HMS Hood is funny to me because I accidentally sunk the hood with some shitty naval bombers as Sweden-unified Scandinavia back in like 2021, because it was out on patrol in the North Sea for some unknown reason.

[@power2ix605]

For don't die for Danzig, you just early war Poland and then make Vichy France later. Edit: idk how it worked for me but it did

[@jameshargrave118]

I got the “Why Die for Danzig?” achievement completely on accident. I’m pretty sure it was a bug. What happened was it was my third time playing Germany, so I thought I would take it slow (as in enter the war in 1941). Since I had done the Molotov-Ribintrov focus, the USSR began justifying on Poland. The USSR would occupy Danzig at the start of the war, but they would hand it over to me once Poland capitulated. I was tired of failed paradrops into France in my previous playthroughs as Germany, so I made sure to have 16 paratroopers (with 300 transport planes to drop them) ready to drop and 2 collabs on France. I joined the war by declaring on the Netherlands through that focus tree. Once France joined against me, they were capitulated immediately. After Poland and the UK capitulated I got the achievement. Not sure entirely what I did to get the achievement. I think it was a combination of being at war with France for less than a day, and the fact that I never declared on Poland. Side Note: I capitulated the UK about 2 months before Japan declared on America. This resulted in the USSR owning Malaysia so Japan ended up at war with China, the USA, and the USSR. They barely lasted a year.

Got "why die for danzig" achievment 3 days ago in a really wierd/bugged way. In 1936 I took Netherlands, then immideatly justified on Brittish Malaya, going at war with UK early. did a Sealion, then waited in Scotland before taking Checzoslovakia. Unfortunately, Czechs refused giving me Sudetland and joined Allies. Then Poland also refused after "Danzig or war". I did no focuses that give you wargoals on Benelux and France, but France joined Allies anyways through event. So I took Paris, established Vichy France, finally took Glazgo (which made UK capitulate), proceeded peace conference and got an achievement. Why the hell establishing Vichy triggered this achievment - idk, but now I have it, LOL. Maybe it only checks for wargoals, because i did not had war goal on France, I have no idea, was really confused
