What's Up With Persia? (DoD-HPM)

[@MisterGlogman]

I cant believe when the funny persia man said "it's persia time" and then conquered the middle east and central asia. Most humorist thing I have ever seen

[@jorgizoran4340]

The War Leader mechanic in Victoria 2 is an actual abomination.

[@JanJansen985]

I thought you meant the generals and admirals and i was like "its annoying but not the worst" Then i remembered how vic 2 works and hell yeah it is horrible

[@huseyinemreeken3024]

So bad and actually realistic. Just think about what Austria thought when Germany peaced out in ww1

[@nathaelvhaseyar4350]

Well vic 2 is forcing you to accept peace, they weren't forced they just knew Austria-Hungary alone had no chance against the Entente in 1918 😁​@@huseyinemreeken3024

Honestly, I don't really care how do you make your content. I like it so much, man. This more quick video like a documentary of the campaign is just as fun as the raw footage. Like, the essence of your videos make me come back here all the time. And you delaying the videos is alright because we all know you want to do the best, man. Be kind to yourself. You deserve the best :)

[@connor4955]

I think original Vic2 stuff is a good niche. Playing unique countries/mods/releasable countries, has gotten you the most views. It gets people interested in the video! (Like me)

[@YungMoomin]

Hey King great video as always. Some pronunciation stuff if you're interested. Iran is "E-raan" with a long E sound like you're just saying the letter E. Timurtash would sound something like "Tee-moor-tash" or maybe "Tay-moor-tash" where the "u" in the middle sounds like the "ou" in "tour". Kar-Kiya is more like "Kaar-kee-yaa" identical to the way you'd say Car, Key, and Ya. Shekhbizin I'm not sure but my best guess is "Shaykh-bee-zeen" which has a "kh" sound like the way scottish people pronounce the "ch" in "loch". Tehran is "Teh-raan". You said Shaki right with the long A sound. Tabriz is "Tab-reez". Iraq is like "E-rock" with a long E and since there isn't a glottal stop sound in English pronouncing the "q" here like a "ck" is close enough.

Thank you

[@pimmoneter1]

what a birthday present, god damn

[@TobiKamegusha]

For the Sha!

[@MultiSHOOTNICK]

nice vid! hope to see some vic3 from you.

[@Gustavogukpa]

Friend, I'm unable to unify Iran since basically the dual monarchy puts everybody in their sphere, what should I do? They are even stronger than Scandinavia

[@Smooved]

One way to avoid the dual monarchy joining against your wars is to wait for them to be figjting another war against a great power. They will be too distracted to join the side of an unciv nation usually.

[@commemorative]

Loved the video, hope you continue as I love your stuff

[@kesorangutan6170]

Yooo Smooved, nice to see you! Will you play Vicky 3? Also did you try getting an early access to the game? Paradox basically gives early access to anyone who regularly makes videos about their games and got a sizeable audience(you have a sizeable audience).

[@Smooved]

I dont have early access. I will be playing victoria 3 at some point next week when I have some time

[@kesorangutan6170]

@@Smooved Nice! I hope you'll like the game. People are iffy about the war mechanics but imho economic gameplay is solid.

[@MapleMan1984]

@@kesorangutan6170 No capitalists, total economic control even with laissez-faire..

[@Stephen-kz7rg]

Is there a version of DoD you would recommend over the HPM one? I haven't played DoD myself and I'm not really sure where to start with all the forks

[@Smooved]

I would recommend the DoD rework managed by DeNuke. Heres a link to their discord if you want more info discord.gg/A7n2w6VcCB

[@Stephen-kz7rg]

@@Smooved ok thanks, so that one is also buikt mechanically off hpm but just different in other ways? Hopefully I'm understanding that right cos the mechanical changes if hpm are def something I don't want to give up.

[@Smooved]

@@Stephen-kz7rg that version of DoD is partially based on HPM. A lot of aspects like rgo's, elections, political parties, military units function differently from HPM, but the core of the mod has HPM mechanics. In the faq channel in the discord i linked there is a more in-depth explanation of your question.

[@Stephen-kz7rg]

@@Smooved well thank you for the advice, i will probably give it a go once this semester of uni is over, for better or worse lmao. I am curious to see your thoughts on Vic 3 when you make a video on it as from what I've seen mine are mixed, I think that increased depth of sim mechanics for trade and markets and such is a good thing, but direct and constant player control is incredibly bad and takes away what makes Vic 2 interesting and different to play.

[@Gustavogukpa]

Can you start with Muscovy and try to conquer the Russian borders of 1914?

[@donutmp4803]

I liked this video style

[@Dmv_gabe]

For the will of Allah

[@Red_Snapper66]

Holy shit new smooved just dropped

[@samwill7259]

This! Is! Persia!

[@sahilhossain8204]

Hmm yes lore of Vic 2 hpm Persian momentum 100

[@Karl_I]

I need bavaria, please you'll make my people proud

[@Testimony_Of_JTF]

Wasn't infamy supposed to reset after you win a containment war?

[@Smooved]

If I kept going it would have reset down to 25 infamy, but it was the end of the game so I didn't bother.

[@mistertmaster3084]

Yayy finally a new video

[@unicyr5404]

Yo, I like the new format 👍

[@ShoulderTroubled]

Love your vids bro

[@kommy-]

Will you stop playing Vic 2 when Vic 3 comes out?

[@Smooved]

No, I'll come back to it

[@ottomansultan3450]

Can you do a military guide on Victoria 2

[@Smooved]

I might make a short video about that

[@ottomansultan3450]

I know this is kind of random but do you have any idea on why my Victoria two mods aren’t showing up even though I put it in the mod file with the zip folder that it gave me

[@Obsiusthereal]

you gonna play vic3?

[@Smooved]

Yes

[@cabercariboustudios196]

You should play DaD

[@danielgn7849]
