STUCK

[@willwright2721]

This happened to American soldiers after the war of 1812. Part of the reason that Andrew Jackson was so popular as a presidential candidate was that he ignored orders to disband his unit and personally took each of them home.

[@samueltunjano6774]

The railway guns give a passive bonus to all battles on range. Assigning it will make it follow the army, like air wings do. Also, great video! Keep up the good work!

Taureor, what are your thoughts on Italy warming Ethiopia right now when XP allows to freely zoom through doctrine tree without stopping and wasting several years worth of research slot and when Italy can grow new advisors through that? How broken it is?

[@Thunderpulse]

It really isn’t that broken, Italy isn’t that good of a country

@@Thunderpulse i mean you can easily paradrop into france yugo romania and czecko so i guess its quite nice too. then justify on austria and you get uk too so i guess it isn't that bad. The focus tree is garbage tho

[@12gark]

@@Thunderpulse the main problem with Italy is that you have basically 2 paths possible: help Germany, or form the Roman Empire on your own. That's it, you can play it twice and than you can forget it ever existed.

Hey Tauror, in case noone else said it, there's a button to duplicate air wings, as long as you have enough in storage. Makes it much easier to make 200 x 20 fighter squads :D

I'm polish, and I just got this game so ofc I want to play as Poland, and I remembered watching a video of some guy with a really relaxing voice a while ago and I particularly remember the Luxembourg taking over Germany video so I looked it up and would you look at that! You're Polish :) officially my favorite hoi4 youtuber

[@gastgedal]

To Taureor, please play the Soviet right opposition choose Rykov, if you add every negative consumer goods buff together you can technically have negative consumer goods.

[@fieldmarshalbaltimore1329]

War economy and allow opium gives you 0 consumer factories as communist china, almost no matter how many you have. I love it, I'll try that path too bro

[@iamkokan]

I'd prefer Soviet Union. You can try White path and maybe a guide how to win it easier cuz I find that path a lot harder than other commie paths in Soviet Focus Tree.

[@skyboy4341]

Justify on Poland and Germany. Declare war on them and then go into a Civil War. They will help you take out the soviets and they will give you back your core territory once the civil war has concluded

[@iamkokan]

@@skyboy4341 I'll try the tactic, thanks

[@KlaustheViking]

Change all units to 1 artillery or 1 anti air before the civil war starts and then switch all of your units back to cavalry and run over Stalin’s units. Won’t even be a fight and go around the holes in the front line.

[@krasnamerah1926]

[@homelesshomosexual4635]

Not entirely sure if you did this, but a right opposition path and putting Bukharin in charge would be amazing, and doing this while avoiding civil war and getting the absolute minimum amount of purges would add some good challenge, also maybe fulfilling the requirements for the 'Just Proper Gander' achievement could also help with the challenge.

[@Jablecznik]

Seeing you stay on civilian economy until Feb '40 breaks my heart :( You would have about 20 factories more at this point if you rushed partial mobilization as soon as possible.

[@davidbascom5781]

If you do the one where you get bohemia use spies to diplomatic pressure Germany and improve relations to get a non agression pact right before they invade to give you time to build up. I haven't tried it as Poland but it usually works. Especially for Austria Hungary

[@liladoodle]

I'd like to see how you would think of the best possible path with the right opposition in the Soviet focus tree.

[@wadehans3n]

just a heads up, you can apply the aircraft designer buff to planes you've already researched if you modify them in any way after you get the designer. you can just put one click into range, attack, reliability, or engine, and then the designer buff will apply to that model. same concept for armor as well.

[@malter87]

yes, romanian path in single player! sounds interesting also soviet union in a single player exploring the new focus trees

[@BaronMan]

Lithuania do be doing a bit of trolling

I like how in the thumbnail tannu Tuva is still there despite both Stalin and Mongolia being conquered

[@pawekorczak7302]

I have played same path recently, but i rushed war in early 1939 when germany wanted Memel (czechoslovakia was still alive) did great casualties to Germany, in late 1940 hungary attacked, and i had to retreat to Warsaw. Hungary occupied eastern Poland and soviets justified on them leading to war with Germany. Than i counter-attacked and finished germans in a matter of months. In 1941 soviets attacked me, i killed them without much problems by 1st January 1944. All casualties of Poland in both wars were about 1 800 000. Chwała Rzeczypospolitej :)

Like we have tried so many we dont know which one we can try

[@JanHDD]

In singleplayer I think habsburg path is strongest actually. When Germany demands sudetenland they arent prepared at all and you can easily rush konigsberg and crush them with all the guns you got from annexing the czechs. Usually youre able to kill Germany entirely even before Soviets declare on you too.
