I'm here for my seratonin because Stakuyi releases happy chemicals

[@No.00000]

Sheesh and i thought i was an addict I just use meth

[@ToilsomeAtom2]

​@@No.00000why not use dopamine as well

[@No.00000]

​​@@ToilsomeAtom2 had one too many EPIVC hoi encirclements. It doesn't work on me anymore.

[@soratonin]

I’m here! Wait, never mind

[@TheArklyte]

I love how the Il Duce superheavy tank ascended from deviantart icon made from various bits and pieces to jokingly made ingame icon to full drawing to stylized drawings to 3D model and at this rate someone would make it in Sprocket or even try to write a technical explanation for it:D

[@nestorgamer9746]

Bro not only made the world's greatest crusade he also made an actual HOLY and ROMAN Empire

[@Vodacera]

at 20:44, i think the reason why the bonuses didnt stack is because of the use of focus.autocomplete as a cheat command, because sometimes all it does is just simply "bypass" it rather than complete it from my experience, [i.e. when i autocompleted some focuses for factories, the focus didn't actually provide them], hoped this helped

[@thefedezboy]

I don't think pdx should fix this, as you said in the end, this is only op because of the fact you put in the effort to stack bonuses

[@TheArklyte]

Tbh 80+ armor for just 20 superheavy tanks(not SPGs or TDs as before) is the OP part(though I haven't looked at hardness and maybe it's laughable). And just like scout light tanks and flame tank armor metas, this would be grinded to the ground sadly. I still think that "space marines" should be a thing though so hopefully they won't lower the armor infantry gets from this support company below 30(was it 30 or 20 that maxed out infantry penetrates by themselves?)

[@LinusRonn]

😢 1:13 ❤

[@degekkesquad2206]

Byzantine Greece also gets buffs to super-heavy's, I think those are also the only 2 in the game (If anyone knows any others please add it seems really fun to try out with different countries)

[@minatomadara3436]

I thought Poland did to but idk

[@rayhanakbar5485]

New Zealand with big bobs

[@Superiocrates]

Ik what I’m doing tomorrow

[@DAVIDMcDonald-uf2ep]

Doesn’t base Fascist Italy also get superheavy boosts if ya go the pro-Mussolini Roman route?

[@loanstowalruses]

The thing that stands out to me is that in the current form, the Super Heavy Tank does not seem to have a speed stat on it as a support company. That means you could attach these to Motorized Infantry and presumably make them extra super busted for mass overruns for a really cheap IC cost. I think it's actually probably not that unbalanced, though, given the extreme cost of the super heavy tank and the fact that it's a HUGE ahead-of-time penalty for most nations to get it. It's pretty busted for ~1941, but it's a reasonable tech for later on. It's hard to imagine, say, most Germany runs having this in quantity in time for an invasion of the Soviet Union.

[@LordHogWaterer]

Couldn't Italy make the tanks early from their research bonuses and license the design to germany?

[@loanstowalruses]

@@LordHogWaterer Yeah, but even then you are only getting it in Dec 1940. At that stage, the counters to it are cheaper than it is, and are pretty much the same counters you might want to put together against a Germany anyways. For example, with 1940 tech, you can put together a light TD that can pierce this for 12 production and way less resource per factory, and can be converted from prior light tanks to be done on the extra cheap. If you can pierce the armor on it, it loses most of its upside. It's a good option and it scales well late as it only takes a support company slot, but I don't think its truly gamebreaking.

[@linuxares]

If you say Exploit and Hearts of Iron 4. You will summon Feedbackgaming

[@RandooGaming]

No, you need to say it at 3am 3 times at a mirror and he will exploit his way into your house

[@TheArklyte]

Yes, but Feedback usually half asses his videos. For example in his recent video on cheapest tanks he ignored state and designer bonuses, ignored easy maintenance also lowering the costs and then forgot that low hardness he talks about was caused by him using wheeled chassis and not by designating those vehicles as SPGs.

[@Drazja]

Where has good old feedback been ?

[@cardengixoth6878]

In today's video, Stakuyi shows us how to turn the old Support Company Space Marines into Support Company Custodes, and lead a holy crusade the likes of which will not be seen again until the Emperor's Unification Wars.

[@filce1232]

Just so you know i had reported the bug of reduction of cost of super heavy tanks not stacking on the paradox forum but I never got a reply.

[@historyofeverythingpodcast]

Excellent because that did annoy me here

[@CoffeeSuccubus]

Remember when Italy was a joke nation? Now its like, the best nation... And most op

[@jakecoyne3919]

FYI you can use undermine the duce and the other focus below it once you're on the papal scale to actually get you high enough without needing to wait another year. Also if you didn't use any pp to lower fascism you could've done that focus in like 1937

[@igncom1]

The Allies and Soviets from Red Alert were fighting across Europe when a third party entered the war. The Catholic Crusade!

[@Clutch_Shadow]

Now do the same thing with mech and motor arty…. The pure speed and power would make this even quicker

[@buddermonger2000]

That one is pretty fun. But they usually work with a couple of tank divisions

[@brycenhubbard6224]

Russia also has a good focus for super heavy tanks if you go through the soviet civil war and do romanov reconstruction down the left side of that tree is a 2 year penalty reduction bonus along with a -20 percent production cost for super heavy tanks. Pretty good bonus if youre able to beat your civil war quick.

[@jarskil8862]

32:15 I love how Papal states has 666 factories

[@kaiandersonflynn1846]

Getting Catholic revenge for that AUS video I see

[@King_124]

You can do the defy the Duce and the other one the get more papal support.

[@gkan5802]

i found about these bonuses last patch where i made some crazy tank divisions there where heavy/super heavy tanks with mechanized inf and support heavy flame throwers, it was too much for the ai and with those divisions i did my first world conquest

[@gkan5802]

or rather i should say last month than patch

[@jeffproplayz]

First world conquest is always amazing

[@sld1776]

The other nation that gets a major discount to superheavy chasis is white Russia. Maybe 20-width mechanized divisions with super heavy battalions as your breakthrough troops. This change buffed Superior Firepower again, which, lol

[@RhombusOfTheJ]

welcome back your Holiness!

[@touchthesky3948]

Missed opportunity to pepper the video full of Hellsing references while playing as the Catholic Church

[@trenchrunner9333]

I got HOI4 today and a few dlcs from the summer sale, can't wait to play the game. After ages of watching the videos I can play a game myself

[@adamgadbaw7747]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought about the holy discount when I saw the beta patch notes

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

The lyric from Disturbed's song Vengeful One comes to mind: I'm the Hand of God, I'm the dark Messiah, I am the Vengeful One.

[@mrhamedr]

half of the video: stak: goddamn it.! i can't speak 🤣😂 i missed the POP. thanks for video.! btw this was the first video i didn't see Gabby's reactions on screen in a while love u and your little baby

[@user-rg8eq2kt6w]

New stakuyi video omg happiness=100

[@samueltrusik3251]

Everybody gangsta till Italy starts speaking DEUS VOLT!

[@lordedmundblackadder9321]

It’s actually “Dieu li Volt”

[@bufikas8259]

Can you do a video when you conquer all of world with any nation? It would be interesting to watch.

[@affugter]

He just did 😅

[@Greendoor_]

Watched this guy for over a year now and his content never fails to keep me entertained

[@jacksonmcdermott-ts7op]

Ah yes ittaly totaly known for its tanks in ww2

[@pieceofschmidtgamer]

Stakuyi: IT'S TIME FOR SOME DIVINE INTERVENTION! I KICK ASS FOR THE LORD!

[@sld1776]

Paradox just ended the Superheavy tank brigade experiment. In the middle of my own Popehat experiment. Noooo!

[@tsamoka6496]

Hi Stakuyi! If you think it'd be worth it, I think a playthrough of the Youjo Senki Redux mod would be fun to see. =^x^=

[@robertnett9793]

I might be wrong but I think the word play hidden in the Musculus-Tank is that musculus is latin for mouse...

[@aushshsushshsh5224]

So, does this focus give just heavies now or does it add a support company now?

[@plasticbazooka]

The HRE we never thought we needed.

[@oscarcacnio8418]

Welp. That's the earliest Ive ever been to a Stakuyi video.

[@flordaman8538]

Have you thought of uploading more multiplayer content to this channel?

[@StillGrillby]

Babe wake up, new Stak vid just dropped!

[@maskedmidas1655]

An actual Holy Roman Empire...beautiful

[@looking4565]

I wonder if The Hand of God is a Baneblade reference.

[@eisbergsyndrom5010]

26:47 Fuck it. One struggle!

[@Piratewaffle43]

Eyy, tostitos are pretty good

[@Swissswoosher]

„we‘re already Italy“ 💀

[@Captain-Jinn]

A lot of changes I read about in this beta seem like good ideas, but I'm 50/50 on the Combat Width changes.

[@JahJah-CleverHandle]

Episode 9 of asking Stakuyi to play Equestria at War as Equestria with “Twilight Theory” turned in in gamerules at setup.

[@sophiamorrow4935]

Recommendation: Can we do Old World Blues again and play Robot City?

[@touchthesky3948]

Let the Holy Wars begin

[@peacefuldreams9767]

History class in 2025 would be crazy 💀☠️

[@bigdawg-5109]

I had to watch a unskippable three minute trans ad, stakuyi this better be a great video (Ill update if it is so)

[@stakuyi]

ooof im sorry, the ad types are randomised

[@legitplayin6977]

Trans ads ? What ? Also hoi4 player complaining about trans people, oh hey, it’s on my bingo card

[@mazenessam1480]

Wait how are you able to release it as a puppet??????some one pleas explain

[@KodeeDentares]

The second Dark Ages 😳

[@pagancourier4604]

Stakuyi is eye candy

[@jadecrusher1066]

Tanks plus infantry is a fairly common tactic callec "space marine"... but this... this is a new kind of bs... i shall dub this "terminator space marines" or just "terminators"

[@Havok0159]

Nah, it's the Super Heavy Infantry Tactic or Strategy.

[@princeps6241]

On a guard shift at 2am and I needed some stak to keep me awake

[@thetank3345]

If you do multiple player do it with ISP

[@darkstorm_lp6072]

Please make a Video with the Empire mod. Would be very interesting.

[@santiagoolmos9758]

hi, how do you make super heavy tanks as companies?

[@kuriea552]

[@KonigHoff]

My friends are about to regret letting me be the Italy main >:)

[@ShackleYT]

Best part? he didn't even make it as broken as it could be. instead of a howitzer, use rockets. they become even more powerful!

[@TheRavenLord1]

Deus Vult brothers! Jerusalem calls for us, huzzah!

[@user-cd4bx6uq1y]

This is what hoi4 was intended for

[@Valderag]

You fool you have mentioned the Golden Wind and summoned the JOJO fans.

[@elduquecaradura1468]

you only needed to conquer United Kingdom, and suddenly you would own most of europe, and a most of asia and africa

[@mdffhj]

Greco-bacteria summary?

[@connortheandroidsentbycybe7740]

Why not use the super heavy cannon on your super heavy tanks?

[@thefedezboy]

As an Italian I can say that your pronunciation hurt me deeply but I still love the video

[@prussiansoup]

Jesus christ SLEEP STAKUYI

[@oscarcacnio8418]

Welp. Manus Dei Machina. Paradox just made this even stronger in this patch lol (I dunno, I don't really play HoI4. I just like looking at the funny scenarios.)

[@oscarcacnio8418]

Also, I'm very surprised that neither Mexico nor the Polish wanted to ally themselves with the Papal States.

[@mikecoxkslong4933]

More Millenium Dawn Stakuyi

[@teimopukki4783]

why does the pope look like gus fring

[@teodordimitrov1162]

Golden wind focus is actually a Jojo reference.

[@alexandermcfarlane4019]

I will not accept the removal of my super heavy bois. But this is bloody funny regardless.

[@andresdominguez4914]

Video #14 of requesting stakuyi to play Magna Europa

[@TheTeaMan-ex6nk]

You should play the poorest and worst off nation in millennium dawn

[@Mastergamer27526]

Isp also covered this, its pretty broken lol

[@taylorliptrot1749]

Hey Game suggestion of Foxhole on steam of constant world war with with everything being made by the players.
