The Secret Swiss Habsburg Path No One Has Tried!!! BBA Switzerland HOI4

I broke Switzerland entirely! Bring back habsburg rule to Switzerland!
If you've ever wanted to get the max cores for Switzerland, this is the strategy for you!
I put a huge amount of time into this run and editing. If you could spare a moment to leave me a like and comment for the algorithm I'd greatly appreciate it!!
I hope you all have as much fun with it as I did!
We can get all the swiss achievements during this run!
You shall not pass, swiss cheese, and you get a canton, everybody gets a canton!, and I'm not locked in here with you are the new achievementsfor Switzerland.
To get the locked in here with you achievement, we would need to release a small bit of germany as Switzerland so that we can attack them to get that achievement.

[@hatless_spider]

@Kelly Phipps some of the music was from the works of Hanny Christen, a woman who worked hard to save a ton of traditional Swiss music to posterity. A pretty interesting story to look up! There is also some austrian festival music in there. Just indy stuff, not sure the name of the songs. Hope this helps! Sorry i don't have a proper list

[@Laza10426]

Another great video and fantastic strategy, Carlist winning was a surprise but a welcome one. Also, I liked Star Wars references. The question is, Germany wouldn't let you into the Axis before the war with Italy? It wouldn't create all of this mess with Italy joining them.

Will the UK/allies not guarentee Czechoslovakia or is there something that prevents that? love the video

[@hatless_spider]

I mentioned this as an addendum at the end of the video, and tried to suggest a way around any allied guarantees. When i recorded the vid, the way things were, when you justified while at war, it actually created no world tension. Now that is vastly different. My suggestion was to attack only Yugoslavia and occitania during the civil war (if occitania doesn't join automatically) and to allow germany to eat up czechoslovakia and hungary to simply join the axis

If you intend on giving sudetenland to Germany, wouldn't it be better to just take all states as you did, but leave Czech with just the sudetenland as a free country? You wouldnt get the negatives from accept their demands, that way? Or would that affect the gameplan?

There really aren't any negatives from accepting the demand. But i don't think it would necessarily hurt to leave the sudetenland as czechoslovakia, but not entirely sure

[@SasafrasYT]

This is cool but I'm a little disappointed. Since the house of Habsburg is originally from a canton in Switzerland, I took the title more literally and thought there might be a literal hidden path in the Swiss tree just like how there is the hidden Romanov path in the polish tree.

[@hatless_spider]

Sorry to disappoint! I took a little leeway with the title...essentially roleplaying it. Who knows though, maybe PDX will add it in someday!
