Yo Stakuyi, little tip for the republican side of the Spanish civil war (because I do this usually for my runs going towards an anarchist route). Literally just allow the nationalists to influence the initial 2 garrisons, what it does is that it eats their political power early and overall gives you more time to delay time and start getting political power faster. If they try to change Madrid that's a bit understandable but usually just hold off on challenging. Once they secure the north however overall your goal is to immediately just challenge and recore Valladolid, saying you secure that and retain those small two northern sectors essentially what you have is a split Nat Spain and it opens you to some really good initial micro to kill some units early, and also cuts off most of the nationalist territory from the supply capital (usually it would be Burgos saying you hold the territory right.) So essentially it would just require you to take the other side of Gibraltar (if they take Seville) and all you have to do is take the opposing force's dockyards and they immediately go into a panic where all they have is local supply (until you take Burgos first, but usually I tackle the western territory first). Overall I find this strat easier, usually doing so I beat the nationalists and before the second civil war even starts and after that it literally just becomes to making a front line and turning on a battle plan. Great video and keep it coming!

"No one wanted to work" Spain became the first country with a max workday of 8 hours, this was because the entirety of Barcelona's electric company went on strike leaving the whole city dark for a few days.

[@AnimarchyHistory]

Hey look! Stakuyi is finally playing the good guys!

[@emib6599]

I wouldn't call them "good" I would simply say "less genocidal than his average faction"

[@itsyvonblitz6819]

"I wouldn't say saved, more like under new management" -some guy probably

[@Taschip]

Yes I love crime and overwhelming chaos

[@LaneSight]

Animarchy based as usual

[@AnimarchyHistory]

@@Taschip Anarchist Spain actually had rather low crime, community police and militia's kept things relatively stable. Also I should point out that without a capitalist economic system in place and communal organization. Even if you stole stuff you couldn't keep it, use it or buy anything with it.

[@ruansteenkamp4289]

stakuyi: "The Spanish Civil War is fun" Me: No my good sir, watching you suffer as the Spanish is fun

[@thepapermask2102]

Just a tip for anyone doing this: DON'T build up Catalonia. Build up Valencia or other eastern states you get as the anarchists instead - Catalonia has a -50% (or something in that range) construction speed modifier from the start. Furthermore, put a lot of focus on keeping the northern states you get at the beginning of the civil war, because once Nationalist Spain gets ahold of them they can do the "Unite the Parties" focus which prevents the Carlist Uprising. It's still absolutely possible to do it without the uprising (as seen in this video) but it's a lot easier when Nationalist Spain has its own little pocket to worry about and not just the anarchists.

[@hanneswiggenhorn2023]

In my short experience just using the divisions spawning there is enough to hold it if you put your 8 divisions in 2 fields at a port up there, so you don't even need that much focus

[@dylanstockhausen145]

I personally really enjoy playing anarchist Spain. I just finished my world conquest as them

[@yorkofski4197]

They should release some more anarchy paths for other nations, like Poland or the Netherlands!

[@ajrasecerovermenc2271]

Valid

[@randomperson5314]

It would be unrealistic

[@LordHogWaterer]

@@randomperson5314 yeah, i dont know of any countries with significant anarchist movements in this era besides spain

Hey Stakuyi, can you play Mexico in Kaiserredux and try to bring back the Aztec or Mayan Empire

[@hungolomghnonoloughongousg5548]

Fun fact if you delete the navy, save for your flagship, you keep it and don't have to worry about enemy navies during the civil war!

[@MrSigriwal]

Hey stakuyi why don’t you try to form finno-urga in the base game.The formable is not op but it’s very interesting and also as a meme annex all of Hungary since you get cores on them .

[@doctorwhat779]

Wait finno-ugra can gain core on Hungary? I played with Estonia last weak but ı didn't see anything like that

[@mreevee7785]

​@@doctorwhat779 no it cant get hungarian cores idk what hes talking about

[@chickensouvlaki]

to make it even more painful he should get all hungarian land before trianon

[@MrSigriwal]

@@mreevee7785 Wait they fixed it you used to get it before since hungary was a part of the finno urga family

[@FirstNameLastName-tg3rc]

Definitely this.

[@thomascoffin3292]

Yeah. I definitely want to see that ahistorical iron-man run.

[@beaksters]

Give me Ironman anarchism, as an anarchist myself I love it.

[@Peydonary]

I started watching this channel because I was having trouble playing as Spain. Then I just loved the content, and now watch every video you come out with. I was SO excited today when I saw you were doing another Spain run. so yes, PLEASE do that a-historical anarchist run you mentioned!

[@JohnnyYK]

I love when Stakuyi uses his big brain and plays the best faction.

[@FirstNameLastName-tg3rc]

If you make an ironman world conquest global defence council video, I'll watch it.

Hi, if you are reading this, you should go and like the video (if you haven't done so by now) so we get to see this world conquest ^^ This is not a suggestion, it's an order!

An Anachist WC could be fun but probably need some preparation. Probaby check with Taureor and Bittersteel to make a plan.

[@hanneswiggenhorn2023]

I don't think it should be too hard? Because like after ww2 your mam power is practically unlimited as long as wars don't drag on and time is definitely on your side

[@rafaelsc3071]

CNT-FAI, could Stakuyi go more insane?

[@darkkothor]

I mean, I'd really like to read any alternate history stuff about that, seems really fun.

[@whatismypurpos]

we need a world conquest, and I mean WORLD conquest with Spain as anarchist

[@donzapatero4808]

I be happy to see a full anarcho conquest

[@KhanterWinters]

Well as you said it! Go for it. Iron man anarchist world patronaged by s-pain.

[@DamienDoesGames]

"Hello everyone, Stakuyi here" never fails to produce the happy chemical in my brain.

[@IndependentObserver]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="300">5:00</a> No no no. That middle option is stalinists which is fascism, but red instead of brown and hammer-and-sickle instead of hakenkreuz. It was FAI (and to a lesser extent CNT but they were still anarchists, a bit different taste but they agreed on fundamentals so they allied) that were actual communists- ie. people that wanted to create a classless stateless society, unlike stalinists that wanted another totalitarian imperialist state- it doesn't matter what you put on your flag, if all you end up doing it mass murdering anyone who disagrees with you then you're a fascist. People putting these two as just two flavors of communism is one of the biggest crimes on historical understanding of Marxist or "claiming-to-be" Marxist movements.

[@rosscalverley]

Yeah Ironman non-historical world conquest would be mint!

[@geokou7645]

On my first playthrough as anarchist Spain I fininshed the civil war so quickly with the nationalists that they were dead before the crackdown. Same thing for my carlist playthrough. On the same run they annexed Brazil so I got all of it

1st video of wanting stakuy to play OWB as McArthur and go Enclave Path

[@Fusseliko]

My personal strat for Anarchist Spain is to declare on the Allies around 1940, when France falls. You can use claims on Gibraltar. With Spain+Portugal+Axis Navy, you should be able to land in the UK, cap the allies, use the warscore to grab rubber and pop in the pacific, maybe some industry in the UK. After Germany declares on the Soviets, you can turn it into a two front war by declaring on the axis. After that, nobody should be strong enough to challenge you.

[@Aronre]

Stakuyi go for a Ironman game you'd like to try out, S-pain is fun and all, but we do enjoy seeing you play nations with or without mods you're interested in!

[@Misky447]

Yes you should do a-historical global defense council world conquest 👍

[@oliversherman2414]

I played Spain once in Hoi4 and never touched it again. I was crushed in 2 minutes during the Civil War. I then kind of "cheated" by playing as Spain again but starting in 1939 instead. I did end up getting a lot of land in Africa and Europe but that was the last time I ever decided to play the mess that is Spain ever again 😂

[@hanneswiggenhorn2023]

I think with the DLC it is worth (and probably even easy) to win the civil war on easier difficulties because of how much more political power you get

[@allinaxford]

I would not mind seeing a world conquest run.

[@wilhelmus8575]

really wanted stakuyi play another small nation in victoria 3

[@buddermonger2000]

Honestly I think you probably could've gotten more if you puppeted and then integrated after especially Africa

[@alexandersokol2823]

Hey stakuyi I'd love to see a world Dom as anarchist Spain in Alt history. I've done it a few times but honestly in alt history Germany keeps getting supper strong and I can't seem to beat them so seeing you try would be helpful.

Oh Hell Yes please!

[@abelmartos3554]

What templates did you use for capitulating Germany? I was once very close to do a world conquer as anarchist Spain but in my opinion you gotta have a lot of patience for them. I'm giving the carlists a shot now and they're a little bit stronger after war in my opinion

[@hanneswiggenhorn2023]

I think the Anarchists really play the long game and need a lot of time/political power to truly develop. They definitely have the potential to be the best late game nation
