It was really neat to see one of the smaller nations being played and holding its own, this time.

I believe “Peak Dutch” would be Dutch Paris, Dutch Berlin, AND the entire worlds supply of Nutmeg.

You forgot Dutch London

[@kd3045]

Alex @3:20, remember that the "Continue the Zuiderzee Works" is 210 days long. Also, when flipping ideologies as the Dutch, it's better to not do focuses in order to accumulate PP in order to make decisions regarding the British and German trade demands. Since he went communist, both German and British influence regarding Dutch trade had to be a certain amount. As a result, the Dutch focus tree can lag early game.

[@mbos14]

Never had problems with PP to do the decisions with the trade. even when going the neutral route(wich would return all your pp back to you anyway)

[@ronaldlennier86]

8:06 The Dutch never got close to taking Paris, however they did get quite close to taking London

[@SapoWeonN300]

They didnt unite with the British, conquering London in the process?

[@TheOfficalBiggestBird]

But they did, they established a union with the English and scottish so eh.

I hope you get blitzkrieged in HoI4 by Zimbabwe. Just kidding, but damn how come Netherlands is so strong, is it the dam's ?

[@bighit20100]

@@birisuandrei1551 1+ mill manpower is possible with Netherlands, before Germany justifies. Total OP! Not to mention, once take the industry focussed, you will have an insane industry compared to the size of the country lol, get cores on Benelux, get the industry focussed and the 1+ mill manpower and you are a European superpower

[@birisuandrei1551]

@@bighit20100 insane lol, irl even if Benelux was united it wouldn't be as strong as the main powers of europe, but i guess stronger than Yugoslavia which is impressive for such a small country.

You might not be accepting challenge suggestions, but I just recently started watching your channel, including all the challenges from a few years ago, and would love to see how good you could do as fascist Canada.

GEKOLONISEERD I'll see myself out.

[@BossFountainGames]

Similar to the person who submitted the save, Alex is one of the big reasons I got into HOI4 recently. I'm trash, and very much still learning with the Germany training wheels, but enjoying it a lot!

[@piffle1358]

You're a wonderful content creator Alex, thanks for brightening my day!

The encirclement at Dortmund reminded me of the Battle of Kursk in some way for some reason but not exactly the same

Always great to see a minor nation game. I play almost exclusively smaller countries to see whats possible.

All these disaster saves coming out lately are very poggers

my most fun dutch game was the dutch taking, berlin, praag, vienna, bucharest, leningrad, moscow, stalingrad, and rome with a bicycle divisions. just the idea of dutchies on bikes cycling through the streets of major cities is fun

00:30 Alex needing help from an abusive relationship but being to afraid of Lady Rambler to ask us

[@kalvaxus]

Every video his headset moves farther and farther away. I'm not sure if it's intentional, a gag that I'm too new to understand, and frankly.. at this stage I'm too afraid to ask.

I saw your Sandal reference, respect

[@0211brucetube]

I tried getting the achievement to conquer Belgium and Luxembourg as Netherlands. When fascist and it was easy to grab up all of Europe as normal, but Germany ALWAYS refuses to commit forces to invade the UK, and my nazy got insta-twatted whenever I tried to get naval superiority myself. AI Germany is such a ballache to play alongside.

The Dutch focus tree is legit busted in the mid/late game. You should go monarchist and flip germany to the Kaiser while stealing their manpower and they become your puppet. It's hilarious.
