Nationalist Poland's Wild Ride - Hoi4

[@BubblesZest]

If I could describe this video's production in one word it would be. Troubled, It got to the point when I realized I was going around in circles I had to break that cycle. On the positive however I got the chance to play a path I might not've otherwise and found enjoyment with it. There's always a silver lining even if there's tons of hurdles to go through to find them.

I think a funny part would be monarchist portugal, with a twist of supporting carlist spain. Unfortunately it requires a lot of good rng for Carlist to even spawn, or seckoend person to be spain itself. I'm planing to play this path with my brother and as idea it seems very fun. Another idea is to explor left side of Romenia focus tree "Preserv greater romania". It's honestly pretty shity, however democratic part seams a bit interesting? Also playing as comunist romania (and choosing balkan domination) brought me much joy recently, so mayby a deal with a devil could give sth interesting to? At the end, path I couldn't find on the internet is comunist greec and incident in a bosphur. It's just 1 focus however i really like it for It's roleplay value and I would really like to see greec win a border conflict with Turkey, as i couldn't do it myself.

[@swamperino8450]

This path looks very fun, even if it is broken and does require you to spend a lot of time that you would preferably spend on industrial focuses.

[@emmamorris6577]

​@@wakolis9930 if you send volunteers to Republican Spain, you can stop Nationalist Spain from ever taking the provinces in the north they need to complete one of the focusses required for Fuse the Parties so you can ensure the Carlists spawn that way - you get your Volunteers back when the Republicans split in two, so then you wait the short while for the Nationalists to also split and then you can send your volunteers to the Carlists to ensure they win my source is this genius doing all that and more here lol: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHLQd6qsaLKifZo

This is the 3rd video on Nationalist Poland on the ENTIRE youtube I wonder why

[@sto1238]

Yea the Slavic union Poland is probably the most popular since it gives you cores on stuff either that or Hapsburg into PLC

My favorite part of the video Germany: *Declares war* Bubbles: "Wot?"

[@jean-michelmusli5669]

You should do Sanation left poland, become democratic and complete the "between the seas concept" focus. Its a fun path and it feels realistic.

[@BubblesZest]

I already did the Sanation paths :P

[@jean-michelmusli5669]

@@BubblesZest Daaamn i thought you only did the right part, my bad then.

2:58 Finally someone noticed it, I really don't know how someone at Paradox thought it was a good idea. The more so that this path at the premiere of DLC was playable as Roman Dmowski ...

[@Mr.Radekk]

Roman Dmowski wasnt a falangist this is why, they could make a path for endecja too.

[@polishscribe674]

​@@Mr.Radekk but they didn't even give him the right ideology... He was a national democrat, which means something else than fascism with elections.

[@polarfox_23]

Was not expecting him to drop the f bomb at 8:14 lmfao, bro slipped for a second

[@polishscribe674]

Rushing Agrarian Reform is a bad move, I prefer to get as many other focuses done before I do that. This way I can have better industry or annex one of my neighbours faster.

[@blazingfish8486]

5:49 kinda makes sense. The only situation where you would have Lithuania as a puppet is if you wanted to get the commonwealth early which is kinda cheesy.

[@boiiiiiiie]

The cossack King has a nearly identical Focus which wasnt broken

[@bltsevdallarfanclub641]

I have capitulated both SOV and Axis with Romania: Guarentee Greater Romania Focus path. Could be an interesting video idea.

[@FelipeTempestad17]

A hard, funny, little cheesy playtrough of falangist Poland. It was one of the most exciting videos of hoi 4 I seen in a lot of time. Congratulations, well done bubble 👍

[@Xictlii]

A lot of the bonuses are also for the sanation path. I don’t see the reason to ever do this path.

[@quaker2636]

The polish nationalist path in hoi4 is so stupid i cant even stress it enough. Paradox saw the name "Falanga" and they thought "oh its the same as the spanish falangists right!" So obviously the only way this could have gone is giving them options to support fascism in south america and the benelux for some reason?

[@Labargoth]

Nice. Never seen anyone do this path and honestly I didn't even realize it existed until recently. Hidden away all the way to the right past the historical, communist, democratic and monarchist trees.

[@bartuomyej]

When it comes to Dmowski and Piasecki and the focus tree, it's historically accurate because Dmowski wanted smaller, more ethnically cohesive Poland and didn't really care about foreign affrais that much. However i do agree it's weird that you can lock yourself out of a focus tree because Dmowski's path can only lead to becoming a third reich puppet (which is not that historically accurate but that's another story). IIRC the focus for reuniting Commonwealth would work if you improved relations with Lithuania to +51

[@BubblesZest]

6:08, It's right there man. Still couldn't do the focus as I wouldn't control all Lithuanian states.

[@vladipos]

It makes sense that you can do support Silesian claims but you can't do support global falangism as Dmowski, as he isn't a falangist, but he was still anti-german. It doesn't make sense that as Dmowski you can only fully do the Beck-Ribbentrop pact. Instead Paradox should make a different path for the national democrats.

[@MemeMan69]

Looks like a Poland-Path ranking is on the horizon

[@squallleonhart6250]

Heya Zest, would be hype if you would be revisiting the different paths on Lithuania, sadly you only covered it a little if i'm not mistaken. Keep up the great content :3

[@antasil5768]

Thanks for exploring these niche runs for us. I want to play this one right now, beating up germany is always nice. And thanks for the warning about Memel, you recovered really well from that!

[@guybrushthreepwood362]

I am trying to think about how to solve the lock out at 3:45 maybe like an expensive decision that costs a lot of PP or maybe even a debuff so that you as a player can avoid the lock out at a large cost by modifying Roman? but Paradox wants it to be that way so this isn't a bug :( but if it isn't a bug then they should indicate it on the tree

[@ThroatShredder1087]

The Roman Dmoski lockout on those specific national focuses is because Dmoski wasn't a globalist and wasn't interested in integrating baltic states nor was he a fan of integrating Ukraine or jews. He was a Polish middle class isolationist type.

I can't believe you contunie to the run after Germany's war declaration. this kind of thing would be a run killer for me. This was great

[@aarnijarvelainen8499]

I feel like the lithuania declining memel part was your own mistake.

[@BubblesZest]

Well yes and no, I let it happen sure but PDX letting the national commonwealth not work is entriely their fault and I would've been fine otherwise.

[@Bensontyroney]

Please make a ranking of all Poland paths

[@Tom_K]

Regarding the fact that Germany declared on Lithuania for denying them Memel, from my own experience it happens quite consistently when you puppet Lithuania as Poland. For whatever reason the Lithuanian AI "thinks" to itself: "Oh I am with Poland, Poland strong. It will defend me." The fact that Poland does not get the decision is stupid considering that it is the overlord in this situation but I can't help but wonder if there is a way to consistently abuse it to go to war with Germany early-ish. I mean, here it worked out of you relatively fine.

[@Natpad_027]

A poland playthrough that isnt a monarchist path? Impossible.

[@TheJohnmurphy516]

poland has the best focus tree in the game. every path is amazing except maybe the historical but who wants to do that?

[@SirPatrickofPoland]

What were your division templates like at the start of the war, and were your divisions supplied? Great video btw, i also really enjoyed your Sanation videos as well!

[@HElSENBERG308]

I played nationalist Poland before and I had no problem with the national elections and the falangist international

[@yxngollie13]

when i play poland i always get defeated when i attack germany someone pls say why im always being defeated

[@ATOZZZZFIRST]

First time watching you, right at the start I got DANTDM Vibes.

[@Elyseon]

Yeah, this focus tree design is garbage. Incompetence is bad enough, but making something broken on purpose...

[@BigDTony]

it is so that to do the falangist international you need to be falangist also couldnt you do a collab government on lithuania to get the compliance

[@garrettredding2837]

Just a bit of curiosity on my part, where did you get your channel name from? It makes me think of seltzer

[@paweczerwik402]

[@trrr938]

You should have got italy as an allie with same focus tree branch you did for Hungary. It is pretty usuful.

[@massivelegend5205]

Babeee, Daddy Zest posted!

[@colBoh]

Have you ever thought about doing a "What's the point of playing the USA" video? It's so agonizingly slow building up war support, the entire "War Plan" part of the tree is useless, you're forced to wait 270 days to take every focus that weakens the Great Depression, the Undisturbed Isolation debuff, getting Political Power is slow, and getting the support of Congress for anything takes forever. There are some benefits, like how your navy and oil reserves are so large that you can watch the Naval XP roll in forever, but the navy is pretty much pointless in this game.

[@jsafterdark6133]

fuck yeah new bubblezest video :3

[@krasnamerah1926]

Really a good ride there.

[@Redhead-pf8le]

You can't do "Support Global Falangism" because you didn't choose the Falangist route, obviously enough National Democrats are intended to go down Beck-Ribbentrop focus

[@BubblesZest]

I thought I spelt it out clearly that the point of that section was that being able to lock yourself out of the focus tree is rather stupid. But obviously not, I'll do better next time.

[@donpollo3154]

@@BubblesZest I love how no nonsense you are with KZbin commenters

[@szymonz9150]

There should be another small tree for National Democrats that gives democracy acceptance and let's you join Allies or mąkę faction with Italy or someone else. And their leader Roman Dmowski was pro-Russian, so alliance with them if they get rid of communism.

You know, you actually sound pretty zesty.
