Iceland is pretty good now. You should try it yourself. Maybe start by buying the expansion with my link (hint, hint, wink): play.heartsofiron.com/Taureor

[@MBSteinNL]

Iceland got its own focus tree? Nice. Somehow missed that in the info so far. Poor Belgium LOL, even Iceland gets a custom focus before them.

Iceland having a focus tree is unexpected, but it is a welcome surprise.

I remeber the day, where he conquered the world as Iceland with the generic focus tree. Its nice seeing Taureor return to it.

[@charlie-lz]

Never forgot the struggle

[@plconqueror5040]

Paradox likes to mention those main things and leaves us with a small surprise with every dlc. No Step Back - Romanov Poland. By Blood Alone - Papacy Reborn. Now Arms Against Tyranny - Iceland gets a focus tree - which was never mentioned as an expectation for new dlc for nordics.

[@GregBartlesbyProductions]

Anyone who has played Rt56 saw this one coming. I'm sure there's a secret path or easter egg somewhere though.

[@tenanaciouz]

​@@GregBartlesbyProductions kets hope they don't steal to many ideas from r56 given how trash some of their focus trees are and how oane of the balance oatchrs they make actively patch out things in vanilla that didn't need to be patched out

There is a button on the supply network to not let your allies use your supply hubs, might be easier than burning down your own rail

[@noispoi]

As an Icelander, this does put a smile on my face.

[@zartoon7534]

Didn't know Iceland had a focus too! Paradox should do more with releasables like this

Invading Iceland would probably be a bad idea, the only island in the world equipped with a fucking self destruct button for the entire north atlantic.

[@spamfilter32]

I absolutely love the use of Scorched Earth to stop your allies from finishing off your enemy before you are ready to do it.

[@jantomas4884]

too bad you can simply switch your supply hubs to not give supplies to your allies...

[@keremcelik6266]

Video idea: Play as any country and try to change the WW2 world map in Hoi4 to modern day map as close as possible. (Idk if it has been done before but liberating countries might as well have a purpose)

[@Drthnuby]

Isn't that just Millenium Dawn

[@Nasqirelion]

This is suuuuch a cursed timeline. Like… thousands of fascist indonesian soldiers invading the whole west coast of britain on floating harbors out of iceland! That would have been a sight

[@leolinguini260]

I like that sweden has a bite now. It makes you consider your options, whether the industry and resources are worth the slog. Or simply keep them as a friendly nation.

Love Iceland, was hoping it'd get a focus tree and I couldn't be more right!

[@MapletreePaper]

Challenge idea: BUILDINGS ONLY 1) Select Japan 2) Release and play as the Mariana Federation while retaining Japan's core states 3) Realize you have 42 population and zero manpower 4) Use buildings to gain warscore and annex states with sufficient manpower to build an army 5) ??? 6) Profit?

[@CoffeeSuccubus]

I wonder why they didn't gave Albania a focus tree in the Italian focused DLC... they could of given them a Iceland sized tree.

[@carltonleboss]

That would have been cool.

[@FlinzPrime]

I always thought those weekly manpower things are because foreign fighters and other volunteers join your cause.

[@drazarkabalblade9486]

Is it weird that at least this path gives me some mod vibes? All this reviving the old norse religion reminds me of those XD

[@fidoruh]

It kinda does, but at the same time Fascists love the norse stuf.

Oh God, Oh no... They added the Jan Mayen island. Now I will have to make a new map for my mod I hasn't finished yet.

[@nonrumor]

No Faroe Islands focus tree? No Greenland focus tree? Wtf!

[@Drthnuby]

@taureor pretty sure either you specifically hadn't generated atleast 10% world Tension for the Guarantees or the ai saw that the last major of the Allies was on the verge of losing already.

[@wboender]

great video as always taureor! this is also a great way to get 2/3 of the iceland achievements, since im pretty sure you only need to occupy newfoundland to get the vinland one in case the usa assumes control of it before you can capitulate the uk. the brexit achievment is very simple to do

[@theyedmeister6981]

[@TurbulentEitri]

Franco Spain joining the commintern is so cursed. Also, how did the US guarantee fascist Canada? I didn't know they could do that as a Democratic nation.

[@Utmanarn]

So, the problem with your colaboration governments is that it only works when you take the territory in war, it does not work when you get it transfered from other nations. At least that is what it seems like from past experience.

[@TheHuntamanas]

[@GolemHOI4]

Im so psyched for this dlc! I think im gonna do some mechanic breakdowns on my channel once it comes out

[@swedichboy1000]

2:38 Thats a tad arbitrary, as if the spanish Civil war was the only conflict at that time.

[@aidenbooksmith2351]

Well it is the only guaranteed conflict that would happen in every single campaign

[@Spatullapol]

Spreadsheet idea: Artillery only soviet union.

[@jayschreiber2508]

Can't you toggle allied supply access in controlled supply hubs? So instead of sabotaging your own logistics in Sweden maybe you could've done that

[@sankalanpc]

Great video. Also, Justice for Aussa(just to be clear, this is a vote for Aussa takes Africa on the spreadsheet)

[@leolinguini260]

The italians switched due to the Turks. The Turks normally join the allies But since the allies dont exist they picked the Mediterranean Entente focus. This offers Italy to create a faction. This doesn't work 100% as intended.

[@cznx-men_gaming]

iceland got a focus tree lessssss gooooooooooooooooooooo

[@StormArmy96]

Video idea: Get Mr Hilter to take over Argentina Not even sure its doable in game but I've seen it done with console commands, but apparently needs very specific conditions to make it happen.

[@tobias5504]

Fyi @taureror Countries, where core land has been taken away from in peace deal or event will take longer to conquer. The surrender threshold will be recalculated with what a country has left in victory points.

[@legaullonapoleonien8760]

Great video, I love Iceland. Just why Danemark and Norway doesn't have the King as a national spirit from the start ? This seems lame and bad. Just 5% stability is good enough for me.

It looks like the usual style of Paradox power creep continues. At least it's not another damn balance of power-based focus tree.

It might be worth doing Order 66 on the Axis to be able to form Scandinavia. I wouldn't be mad since the game bugged out.

Taureor no offense, but I think you really need to be reeducated on what marxism is. If you think that marxism and philosophy is a strange combination you obviously have no clue what marxism is. Marxism is first and foremost a political philosophy. Marx' contribution to philosophy and other fields of social science are unprecedented, even if you don't like Communism as an ideology.
