I like when you make mistakes as opposed to pure researched guides. The videos of guides I watch I have to watch multiple times to remember the optimal route. When you make a mistake live it reminds me not to make that mistake much easier than you doing everything correctly the first time.

[@ianperry8557]

It was nice seeing the mistakes as for me it helps me recognize where I would probably make the same mistake.

[@synthetictechnocrat9270]

Idea for your next video: Go down the "Lead the Minor Democracies" path on Historical as the Netherlands, with the goal of forming the European Union and owning all of your cores. I've done this a couple of times, it's quite a fun run, and you end up at war with almost every major faction in the game. A couple tips for this, from my experience: -First, rush the "Foundations for a European Union" focus. This will get all the minor European democracies into your faction. You'll pick up Belgium and Luxembourg along the way. -Refuse the German demand for the Sudetenland. For some weird reason, they don't get a wargoal. Might be a bug; please don't tell Paradox! -When Poland refuses Danzig or War (will happen a little earlier due to focuses being skipped in their tree!), but before Germany declares war, guarantee them. Immediately join the war, and overrun as much of Germany as you can. They'll be spread so thin that you can continuously advance and capitulate the Germans by the end of 1939, and Italy soon after. -In the peace deal, try to take Sardinia, Sicily and Zara. And as much of Germany as possible. -Use your focus wargoal against the Britain and Order 66 the French with military access from the war. Possible but difficult without Order 66 as well. The rest of continental Europe should fall to you easily, and then you can form the EU; but be careful that your allies don't get any of the territories you need for the EU. I hope you try this, it's one of my favorite runs. If you have any questions about this, I'll be happy to help.

[@andrewclayton7289]

I love these videos, keep up the great work!

[@hariitokyashimoto3458]

@Taureor: First of all I loved this video. I like non historical for all that is not guides. Then seeing you figure things out on the fly is great as it shows your thought process and enables one to learn better. As a suggestion for a video: Beat the US as the Dominican Republic without order 66.

[@alatamore]

I really enjoy that you don’t pre-test and make actual mistakes. Most other content creators prep to make them look perfect which isn’t realistic for real players. Watching your videos includes some unexpected things but also shows players how to handle unexpected things, or make decisions without knowing the perfect path first. Please keep doing your current method as it makes your videos more enjoyable.

[@james2529]

Taureor bingo card - 'it doesn't really matter' / 'the best guns' / 'lets deploy more troops' / Random polish noises x General bashing on hoi4 / Starting a war with a massively underequipped and untrained army x 'Attack ... Aggressively' x Infantry only army / Navy - 'never repair' /

I like that you try things differently almost every rum. And i do enjoy you going through a game for the first time. Keep up the good work!😁

[@brobrobear470]

I like it with no mistakes to see exactly what to do and how it runs. Thanks

[@zlayd5146]

i like it with mistakes because it adds more flavor to the run plus it probaply more fun for you to just go in and have fun instead of doing the same run like 5 times, i get bored halway into one game i cant imagine doing it over and over

[@pgjuzek]

I like the "live" videos a lot. there's value in prepared video occasionally, or for achievement run; salvaging run from mistake you just made is what I do constantly. it's worthwhile to see how you handle with it, so I can learn as well

[@Jayplussilentbob]

i like your content like this its feels more real, because you didnt rehearse this playthough. much love and support for the content

[@olivers.7821]

On the one hand it might be beneficial for people to lern from your live mistakes, on the other hand it might be more enjoyable to see those strategies unfold perfectly. I enjoy it when strategies unfold perfectly

Another idea from me: Play as Germany (Democratic). Create a new fraction "Europe". Puppet all 28 EU countries ingame with nearly original borders.

Im pretty sure Ive watched Mosley gameplay from you before , doesnt matter it was fun as always

[@kmonk99]

This was a good video. I like the Ahistorical runs, especially with the great powers. It makes for a more interesting experience. I especially liked the Russian Forever Civil War. As a suggestion, I wouldn't mind seeing you focus on some mechanics that you do not usually focus on, such as playing a navel game with Italy or Japan, or playing an overhaul mod where you focus on the interesting mechanics rather than knocking over your neighbors with political machinations and leg infantry. XD

[@mrr9636]

I agree with mistakes crew - keep them in so we can learn how to bounce back from errors rather than strictly following your perfectly tested formula is how we get better at the game

[@Janoczik]

I like the unplanned play through, they’re actually really entertaining. I also like ahistorical, not a lot of KZbinrs do it and I think it makes runs unique

[@gyrfalcon255]

I think the biggest problem is that this focus path came out before La Resistance - when we got *much better* garrison mechanics. This is one of those Paradox DLC problems where the real solution would be to update the event to use the modern garrison system and/or Resistance/Compliance, instead of the old "put dudes on the map" garrison mechanic from back in the day - but they kinda can't.

[@jackdeering9301]

I finally figured out what best describes Taureor, he is HOI4 ASMR

[@dracus17]

I personally really like seeing you trying out things for the first time, gives the video some nice uncertainty. Also, both historical and non-historical are fine. As for video ideas, why not communist Turkey? It's a nice path to go down. You could also try to do a non historical run where you try to get Austria-Hungary, the German empire, and the Ottomans back in a faction, and try to get back at Britain and France for WWI.

[@Kattalanonyt]

Saving the game and then loading through the "load game" button allows you to click the war screen again. I have constantly dealt with this issue for some reason all the time for the last 2 years.

[@pg4361]

Imho non historical is really fun. Great vid btw.

[@kayashonals6703]

It would be awesome to see you do more abstract nation ideas such as the confederate idea of the Knights of the Golden Circle or the Celtic Union.

[@m3ky99]

You could do the Dominion of North America - Canada and US so you can core it with Imperial Federation and then recreate European Union forming the strongest nation in HOI4 :D

[@dpjinjo]

episode idea : I would like to recommend an episode as Japan/historical where your first conquest must be France and you must complete the conquest before France joins the Allies. This is interesting because this seems to break the game AI. After France is conquered, the Allies don't guaranty any of Europe against further Japanese aggression. With this strategy you can solve Japan's initial resource issues before you ever fight in Asia. (Hint : You can immediately request to join the Axis to get a naval invasion foothold in Europe. Joining the Axis and immediately invading France via a northern naval invasion is also the best way to play as Italy to rapidly form the New Roman Empire.)

Great video and awesome gameplay as always. But, I do have one question : how do you manage to beat the Reich every time with no anti-tank or anti-air in your divisions ? Every time I try to fight them I get owned even though I have enough supply, anti-tank and anti-air.

Honestly, I'd love to see both the untested, followed a month or two later by the fully tested version.

[@skazztheterrible]

Been experimenting with air forces lately. I'm finding 125 or smaller, single mission airwings are best. Seems to give much better results than even the same 125 size with multiple missions, even if the total planes for each mission is lower. 125 on superiority, 125 on air intercept seems to be better than 250 set to both at once, and 125x2 set to both.

[@ITR933]

50 is ideal imo

[@Ozan-qr7hu]

[@ghostlyowl2302]

Tbh I kinda prefer Moseleys path over Edward, Soley because you can do secure the dominions, and keep the dominions. Plus, both pretty much have the part of the god save the king tree

[@Vincent-xm4bb]

I agree, Mosely path is superior to Edwards. In fact, Moselys path is one of the most OP paths (if not the most) of the game in general.

[@Kandall05161]

Edward gives some really strong advisors (including Mosley, ironically) and you don't have to deal with the marches RNG or the ball-aching secure the dominions decisions. The Monarchists get to just cause civil wars in the dominions to get them back. The entire middle part is shared between them so you're basically choosing which set of advisors you want (Edward's are better), Which leader trait you want (Edward's is better by a long shot, no -50% war support), which Ally you want (Edward's is stronger, though that also means they're harder to betray later so double edged sword I guess), and which wargoals you get (Edward's are better and more numerous). The ONLY real upside with Mosley is that he can form the European Union for some god forsaken reason, so if the Imperial Federation (with the North American Dominion providing America cores as well) isn't enough for you, you can also core France, the Benelux, Italy, and Germany as Mosley which is...way overkill but pretty cool I guess.

[@mateiduma646]

@@Kandall05161 apparently Mosley also had the idea to form the European Union irl before it was eventually established.

[@Kandall05161]

@@mateiduma646 yeah, it's just weird balance-wise that the only country allowed to form the EU as anything other than a democracy is fascist Brittain, who can already core half the world without the EU. What makes Mosley's EU more stable than Germany's greater German Reich formable that doesn't give cores on anything?

[@Salkinator]

Btw u can use ur puppet’s troops for the decision to keep the puppets

[@outlaw_pope]

You can also give the USA to Canada and annex them into your empire via imperial conference for cores/factories/pop.

[@guardianx51]

Well, I can't say I expected you to actually take my suggestion! Only complaint I have about this video is you missed out by not going for the Imperial Federation, since aside from getting cores on the United States via the Dominion of North America (it's something you get through a decision after doing Unite the Anglosphere; basically, after taking all the Mainland states in the US in a peace deal, you click said decision and then Canada gets all the states transferred to them, and Canada gets cores on the entirety of the US - which includes Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska if I'm not mistaken - and when you annex them via Imperial Federation, you gain all those additional cores), you would've also unlocked the ability to form the European Union if you had the required states. You could hypothetically get cores from the additional states required to form Mutapa (Botswana, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe) and Polynesia (pretty much every small island in the pacific that isn't owned by the Dutch East Indies, Australia, or Malaya, and also Taiwan for some odd reason) if South Africa and New Zealand were to respectively form each nation due to Imperial Federation not having a fixed set of cores (before you ask, you couldn't get cores on the Dutch East Indies if Malaya formed their formable nation, since you don't core Malay via the Imperial Federation).

[@karimmouawad2031]

This is probably the hardest challenge ever,I call it "Triple B,"as Croatia released by Italy at the start of the game 1936 start date,conquer all Balkan nations,the whole coastline on the black sea,and the Baltic states and shores of the Baltic sea,btw,if you still for some reason have a save of the time you made Austria-Hungary as Croatia,you can use it and continue from there.

Funny to watch as a new player tens of hours on KZbin about best division composition, support companies tier lists, ship,tank and airplane designers just too see you take over the world with mass spam of colonial divisions...
