Trying to form the European Union as Luxembourg in Hoi4

[@stakuyi]

hey all you should try this yourself and see what you can do. Put the results in discord

[@AlexRoot95]

i saw someone do this using airborne to help get soviets in through a port

[@stakuyi]

@@AlexRoot95 that makes a lot of sense actually

[@stanislawgolda9420]

I tried to defeat Germany as Poland and lost in less than a week

[@soviet_doge1263]

I agree that the way taking casualties gives a crap ton of war score when killing the enemy does almost none, the ai being able to take everything because they rammed themselves against forts and unwinable battles whilst I killed millions and get almost nothing.

Play as Poland on Ironman and win World War 2. No mods other than player led peace conferences, and you must get all of your cores as Poland. Must stay democratic. You may form Poland-Lithuania if you want, but you must stay Democratic.

Great idea I support this

[@stanislawgolda9420]

Why not go communist

[@grahamparks1645]

Boo skulls, bones and dictatorship are much more stable ways to run a nation. However how about a theocratic limited constitutional monarchy ?

[@toxi1778]

Poland needs to be a monarchy to get a war goal on Lithuania or you’d need alot of war support

He didn't completely control all of those states, you could see that a tiny bit of Belgium was still there.

He did the video

[@notabyzantophile]

The strat is to secure all the Benelux before the Allies arrive and then use the Benelux resources to build a really strong defensive army and either join a war against the allies or declare one yourself to keep the land, then work from there

[@DeaconBlues117]

Wait a minute. Did Honduras and the Dominican Republic join the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere?? How badly off _was_ the US at that point?

[@cassweatherwax9559]

the end result was a mess but the epic last stand of luxemburg as the last unconquered bit of mainland western europe was cool

[@touchthesky3948]

I think Staks next game should be "The Great Lakes Confederation" mod. It is a fascinating mod where through a series of military miracles, a large Native American confederation of tribes managed to survive centered around the Great Lakes and bordered by Canada and the USA. I think that Stakuyi should play this mod and take back all of the land in North America, Central America, and South America from the colonizers and unite all of the America's under the control of the Great North Confederation, wresting control back from the colonizers. He should do all of this while playing ironman and, if possible, having his faction ideology remain either Non-aligned or Democratic.

How did they not just kill all of your units instantly? That’s what happened to me.

I got a fun alternate history scenario, what if Czechoslovakia resisted against German demands. Fun fact, Germany during the Sudetenland annexation was a month or so away from economic collapse/crisis

[@lead_head]

He already did that, it's on his communist Czechoslovakia vid

[@unseenjc]

He did that as Communist Czechoslovakia already

[@shlehony]

You actually made Luxemborg a big country. Good job.

[@denizutkukahraman1711]

I can suggest you some mods The New Order: Last Days of Europe -A mod which takes alternate history where Germany win because various reasons but the thing that matters in mod is dark tone where you have Ordenstadt Burgundy(basically gamer choice) distopian world where Himmler rules and believes that master race shall be created in the ashes of nuclear war or warlord states of Russia which like "Hatred for the invasion by Germans and now they want to kill them all not just the men but the women and children" or "Waiting for Alexei while the clock slowly but surely it will come midnight" or "Wholesome Sablin" Black ICE Historical Mod -Overcomplexified Hoi4.

Loving this series, I’m a *big* history nut, I’d like to see what It’d be like if Italy, Scotland and Ireland decided to to get “big boy pants” (cause I know those countries are sorta the underdogs) also a bonus Norway, although you’re the boss so you get the say so,

Bouncing off this: Celtic Union run - unite Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Brittany

[@TAP7a]

​@@kars2 unless you were raised in Scotland, or have moved permanently to Scotland with intent to stay permanently or pursue citizenship, you aren't Scottish. It's one of the most eye-rollingly American behaviours to say "my brother's wife's cousin's dog's groomer's adopted uncle was from X, so I am of X too". Like no, you can become Scottish by naturalising there, but not by virtue of a single grandparent. You can be interested in the culture sure, but you are almost certainly not of that culture if the closest you get is a grandparent.

Luxembourg has existed only a short period of greatness, namely as the dynasty of the Luxembourgers. At their height they provided several emperors for the HrE and ruled over Bohemia, Silesia, Moravia, Brandenburg, Brabant and Luxembourg. At times also over Croatia and Hungary. The dynasty died out in 1437 as no male heir was drawn. And the Habsburgs inherited the territories.

[@Occycat]

The population of Luxembourg around the time of WW2 was only around 150k people, so almost the entire population in this video became soldiers or died as soldiers
