The New Method to BREAK Crusader Kings 2 - Hoi4

Today in South Africa the Dominion era will come to end, as the workers will be empowered against the government, and when the moment is right they will claim their full Independence.
However this is just the start of the struggle, as the Cape will take the Anti Colonialist Crusade and attempt to liberate the entire African contintent. Along the way we will be going for the Crusader Kings II achievement and will be pulling off every trick to make South Africa as strong as possible.

Why does nobody question the fact that we have to do ck2 as south africa of all places like it wasn’t even discovered or heard about at that time.

[@sto1238]

Probably because when the achievement was implemented South Africa was the only African country w a focus tree

[@noneed4sleep64]

It’s coz you have to do a focus called anti-colonialist crusade

[@joelkilchoer4238]

There were people living there.

[@FranciscoCanning]

@@joelkilchoer4238 Then tell me some of it's 1200s history

@@noneed4sleep64 Thanks for the answer

[@acanadianchicken]

Maybe you could rank every Crusader Kings achievement, just rank them in order of the ones you enjoy most

[@nd6274]

the only enjoyable one is the polish one and its not even an argument :D

[@antasil5768]

As a co-designer of one of the first guides on this years ago, its nice to see how this achievement keeps us on our toes. Also, this is an excellent guide. Makes me want to play SA again! Good work!

[@LegiyonEhellout]

It's so funny to imagine a world where these videos happen. "Oh our colony of South Africa just rebelled, turned communist, declared war on Spain, Oman and Netherlands, which it naval invaded? Must be thuesday innit mate"

[@BubblesZest]

Out of all of the ideas I got this one clicked the best, don't worry I liked many of the others too and will use them in time. That being said however making this one was an experience, first recording turned out bad as my fans were far too loud. I didn't learn that until I was nearly doing editing it, second recording had some weird background noise so I went with this third recording. On the positive there was opportunity to refine the strats/recording, for instance I didn't do the train stab until the second recording.

[@christiandevey3898]

Touch Africa doesn't have trains researched !? Cecil Rhodes must be rolling in his grave

[@EnduringGamer]

The coming DLC, AAT, introduces the arms market. Maybe nations will be less willing to give stuff for free and more likely to sell.

[@billyzm]

Dang I literally just did this one, using Bitt3rsteel’s guide… managed to take London but the fight in Africa was brutal. I need to better use the lend lease mechanics, I used to hate it because I like my own equipments 😂 but I’m playing a minor!

[@tom771109]

Your understanding of the game is amazing, I didn't think of doing anything like this, thank you so much for the video

[@superdaaa5563]

Bro, nice guide, followed it step by step and it really worked, i was hoping this to be my hardest challenge in my hoi4 achivements run but sevres was more complicated thanks to this guide haha. The most complicated part for me was rotterdam, i had to restart like 6 times but to my own distraction. All in all well, done and thanks a lot.

[@sogagamer]

God blees i have spent way to many fucking hours trying this with No fucking guide god damn thank you so much

[@caterpillarh8490]

this strategy still works in aat, i was able to get this achievement by doing the same strategy (except i didn't bother with attacking oman), it's probably easier with aat because you can by equipment instead of hoping the ai will lend lease it to you

[@awarei7856]

If anyone is having any difficulty with navel invading the Netherlands, I found it easier to invade the two northen ports then encircling some divisions before focusing on Holland to end the war

[@nd6274]

true killing the netherlands is horror

[@Ratich]

It still confuses me that there's both a game and an achievement named CK2 I have melted CK2 so when I hear CK2 all I can think about is a map of Europe and random death screams playing.

[@red_seven_]

Nice guide! Much appreciated. Btw you should also include Sweden and Belgium (as long as it exists) in your lend-lease 'rotation'. They both have tons of guns because they start with a descent amount of factories. Also the part where you had to plan your naval invasion before the republicans fold can be circumvented (if they didn't fix it already). Just plan an invasion from South Africa to the port in Spain where you want to start your invasion. You should then be able to plan a follow-up invasion from that port. Nevertheless you don't need to assign divisions to the first order so you can immediatly use the follow-up order to go directly from Spain.

[@BubblesZest]

Tension limit for democratic countries is 50%.

[@red_seven_]

@@BubblesZest That's nothing an unfinished justification on the u.s. can't fix ;-D

[@BubblesZest]

It really wouldn't matter, I ended up with +34k guns without Sweden and Belgium. Do it if you must but the outcome is largely the same.

[@nd6274]

amazing guide! however some things have changed weirdly, only region that is really safe in spain is murcia, ive done a couple of restarts and valencia and madrid was sometimes occupiied by nationalists, the naval invasion into roterdam doesnt work even with force attack, invade the top of netherlands and secure one of the ports, start producing artillery a bit earlier so you can add support artillery to the units that will be invading the netherlands, you can also get a lendlease out of the soviets a month after anshluss, not only france and germany, great guide!! :) PS: putting a spy inside of the netherlands helps

[@nd6274]

also thailand give a juicy lend lease as well

[@imperiumgallicum]

You could had taken war reparation and ressources right from continental Netherlands by changing their government.

[@mrmoney9822]

A new hail to the qing/ dragon swallowed the sun guide. A guide for the weapons of the 3rd emu war would also be swell.

[@kamikadzeto7]

You somehow got from 69% stability to 54% from expand civil support, I tried following but the decision got me to 56% and then the civil trains got me to 51% which wasn't enough so there was a chain of delay. How did you get rid of the extra 2%?

[@carterdavis2822]

Yeah, you’ll be down 25 pp to do another civil unrest cause I don’t really know what to do either

[@stipelelas]

Great guide! Thank you so much.

[@mikailyol350]

awesome walkthrough/guide for the 2 achievements and i do like your other guides, too. however i have 1 criticism about your guides (and that is what i like about some other hoi4 youtuber): can you show which version of the game you are playing on in the future? or maybe in the video describtion?

[@klo3496]

Bubbles, I finally managed to get achievement in December 1940. Had to retry it five times to get it because I kept screwing up. Thanks for a great guide. BTW...do you have a Crusader Kings achievement?

[@barrybazjohnson6141]

it's practically impossible to take the netherlands, even tried recruiting extra units but I can't seem to take a single port

[@xorphelius]

Glad you decided to do my idea! Have this achievement and by merit alone left to do so I wasn't sure on how I would tackle it, also wondering what is the reason for the oman justification?

[@BubblesZest]

Lend lease

[@krasnamerah1926]

Wait a minute Those 5 civs for special projects in the beginning on the game. What for?

[@BubblesZest]

Intelligence Agency

[@AccelEng]

Spy Agency, most likely

[@krasnamerah1926]

Ah, okay. Also you casually deleting 80k manpower after defeating Netherlands because they were count as exiled divisions and has encirclement modifier.

[@BubblesZest]

What can I say, I'm a rich man who can afford such luxuries.

[@richardyong535]

Is it a coincidence i just watched the revisited guide video

[@FogoPQ]

just was about to start grinding this achievement thanks

[@darkscythe3874]

idk why, but I had more stability than you did so commandeering the trains wasn't enough. Is that just rng?

[@klo3496]

Bubbles I have a question. I just helped capitulate UK by April 1940 and managed to get everything EXCEPT Congo from Vichy France. I forgot to join Axis so I cannot justify war on them and Germany won't let me into Axis. What should I do? Does Vichy eventually get taken over by Germany and do the African colonies go back to Free France?

[@bahaddinkarakaya2197]

16:12 how did Lithuania get Vilnius?

[@brownrice9147]

They get it in molotov ribbentrop

[@mariusvtube]

Two questions: Why can I basically only get lend-lease from Sweden? What do I need to do? I don't get near the same amount as in the video. And after capping Holland, how can you deploy 80 divs? I'm only allowed 11? Did something change?

[@nechto8877]

Because the Arms Against Tyranny DLC changed mechanic of lend-lease, so, you just need to turn off the AAT DLC 😉

[@k4in497]

Hi love uo videos can u do the dragon swallowed the son?

[@luukdevoogd1071]

A lot less countries will be willing to leand-lease to you now, but this strategy still works as of may 2024 :)

[@harryweiss2013]

Why was taking Oman necessary for the achievement?

[@BubblesZest]

Lend-lease, notice how I didn't capitulate Oman until after I got enough equipment from ll.

[@MrDoubleblades]

Was there any point in puppeting oman?

[@baderul1]

What doctorin do you use?

[@mydloSA]

Republic spain capitulates before I justify on dutch indies

[@mydloSA]

And the worst part is hoping to invade britain, lol

[@diothemaid]

I think if you take one state from the Netherlands which doesn't prevent Germany from pushing into Belgium, Germany should still be ok to invade them, so it ought to be easier to naval invade the UK this way
