No wonder the swiss were neutral, they easily couldve taken the entire world but they didnt because of how nice they are

[@KleinesStein]

It wasn’t kindness that spared the world…the Swiss were too distracted by the shiny gold in their banks…so basically they were just LOTR dragons lol

[@olesmokey3023]

The 10 million people in Switzerland sittin there like “hm, how to economically annex the world today”

[@jaredjosephsongheng372]

They could probably easily force the USA to surrender if they ever get into a war with them because of the ridiculous debt crisis.

It's not exactly "exciting" but the other side of the non-aligned path the 'Expand the Federation' is by far the most broken since it allows you essentially core everything you can touch, including some of the highest production areas of Germany early on.

[@davidbascom5781]

You should really do frontier defense plan. Gives you a completely overpowered advisor that gives tons of army xp

[@joskarifinaukr6503]

Yeah, but if you get the advisor on the left you can get something like twelve mils and six civs down that tree plus you can tell him to give the troops an inspiring speech. That side is amazing for building tall or keeping your militia traditions, but of course the factories are an amazing boost either way.

[@hydronpowers9014]

It's nice to see the Swiss reclaim thier historical borders

[@TheArklyte]

You joke, but as Switzerland was under austrian occupation, Austria can be considered swiss "historical lands™"(I use the term in the same way "superpowers" do). Which gives them same claim to all german, austro-hungarian and HRE lands. Which gives them a claim to all roman lands. Which gives them a claim to Russia, who cosplayed Byzantium and called itself "third Rome"(while claiming that it opposes western culture at the same time no less), which give you claims on Alaska and Golden Horde legacy ie China and so on... Swiss are "rightful rulers™" of entire world, haven't you known😅

[@DarkwarriorJ]

@@KingOfItiapolis 1. ". In the High Middle Ages, the eastern part became part of the Duchy of Swabia within the Holy Roman Empire, while the western part was part of Burgundy. The Old Swiss Confederacy in the Late Middle Ages (the Eight Cantons) established its independence from the House of Habsburg and the Duchy of Burgundy, and in the Italian Wars gained territory south of the Alps from the Duchy of Milan." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Switzerland . This establishes that Switzerland came from the HRE/House of Habsburg, which by insane troll logic means that they have a claim to their former overlords, who, well... owned the HRE. Oh, they also have a claim to Burgundy. 2. The HRE literally stands for the Holy Roman Empire. "On 25 December 800, Pope Leo III crowned the Frankish king Charlemagne as Roman emperor, reviving the title in Western Europe more than three centuries after the fall of the ancient's Western Roman Empire in 476." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Empire . It was an attempt to continue West Roman legacy/claim empire in that sense. Again by insane troll logic, this gives any claimant to the HRE a claim to the entire legacy of Rome. 3. The Eastern Roman Empire was still Rome. Russia believed itself the continuation of the Eastern Romans, especially following the marriage of the Eastern Roman princess to their king. This is also a religious/orthodoxy matter. By induction, Russia believes itself Rome, and therefore, any Roman owns Russia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow,_third_Rome 4. The Moscovites themselves overthrew the Golden Horde. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Horde Which came from the greater Mongol Empire. This gives them, by overthrow logic ala the first point, a claim on all Mongol conquests... past or future (Mughals too..) 5. If we want to continue this, Russia also had a historical claim to Alaska, so now Switzerland has a claim to Alaska. As Alaska is a part of the USA, by induction, they have a claim to the USA. From there... This is insane troll logic, but almost all historical claims, esp. those not rooted in recent history, are rooted in insane troll logic frankly. Going further reveals why this sort of revanchism and irredentism is a little bit destabilizing and insane.

Ah Switzerland. They have such a wonderful focus tree. Glad to see you enjoying it.

[@easternoilcrisis]

I wouldn't call it wonderful or enjoyable

[@pogochip5619]

Worst focus tree in the game tbh

[@joskarifinaukr6503]

@@pogochip5619 Nah, it's pretty strong if you like slower-paced long games. I have an idea that involves lots of long-range bombers, nukes, and a certain country that was founded on a broken promise, but I have to build tall and stay out of the war until Britain breaks up its empire and that country forms. Then I immediately start WWIII and piss off the entire world just to see the shortest-lived nation in the world explode in a glorious mushroom cloud.

[@refsmithy]

Consider me just a touch disappointed that stakuyi completely missed the fact that the Austrian Navy veteran at 22:01 was Georg von Trapp, as in the Sound of Music

[@Nexusryan]

Swiss mercs are one of my favorite parts of military history.

[@OverlordMalarkey]

I love how the spirit of st benard is basically a bernese mountain dog

[@sonofgaia2943]

stakuyi; id love to see you try out the 'Very British Civil War' mod. The team their have put so much love into the lore of it and its a really fun alternative hoi4 mod. Also just updated it too to include ireland.

[@ilovenato]

Ah yes, the classic Hoi4 "fixedn't" update.

[@Madcat1975]

Stak, have you thought about playing with the modern map mod, HOI4 but with modern countries?

[@oscarcacnio8418]

​@@Madcat1975 So HoI4, but Japan and the European Colonial Powers do not control anything, and Communist China is the dominant? And a pre-broken USSR?

[@geometry-dash-guy]

Hey stak,so the focus states that all austrian cores becomes yours with preempt anschluss,so say if you were to form austria hungary could Switzerland technically just annex all of austria hungary and get the cores?

[@glauberglousger956]

Yes, but that's impossible in a normal game without cheats as the AI won't do that with Austria

[@th3grav3mak3rgaming8]

Imo you’re content, on both of your channels, are very interesting and I always hope the best for the content creators that provide entertainment for us!

[@murlidharwadekar3849]

Hey! I would love to see you playing Tannu Tuva in hoi4, because tannu tuva is the country which was neglected by many many hoi4 players. So, I would be pleased to see you playing it!Thank you!

[@glauberglousger6643]

I’d like to see something with Zog Neutral Albania, Road to 56 has an "interesting peace with Italy" option, So focusing on Bulgaria and Greece becomes an option (Wether you want to split Yugoslavia up for easier solo plays, or use the AI Yugoslavia to help you take care of the other countries, is well, up to you Though the latter comes with possibly being dragged into a German war Sidenote: when invading Greece, Turkey might want to join against you) Also did it without any political cabinet, so it should be somewhat easier than usual Albania, and if it’s too easy, well, There’s always the Axis and Comintern

[@casey1714]

fun fact, the original third faction of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 was originally supposed to be Switzerland? My man just brought that concept to life.

The Austrian naval officer that offers service is actually the guy from Sound of Music.

[@aight4494]

Try out power to the tsar Bulgaria next time (monarchist path) It's a bit more sluggish than the democratic path, but at least you get a handsome austro-hungarian as a leader (if you don't go for the regency council focus)

[@FEREDITZ]

I never played hoi4 or any paradox games But I will watch him to suffer and pain

[@andyfriederichsen]

18:55 "Multipurpose tank" sounds like another term for "main battle tank". On a related note, you should've had more tanks and better infantry equipment before you decided to wage war as Switzerland.

[@eliscerebralrecyclingbin7812]

Lol Keep doing what’s fun for you, I think as a professional you know what is fun better than we do 🤣

[@Gommuten]

Hello from Vorarlberg in Austria. Like the focus from 13:14

[@lorenzmaut3708]

Well the germans lost to the soviets so hard because they had so many troops defending the border with you, and you joined the allies, and they were forced to defend the south, so the lack of troops is a major downfall for the AI.
