Not sure what your problem is. Bulgaria starts with a bigger army than it has manpower for and you can't modify your army - manpower always drops to zero.

@@antasil5768 yes that is correct at first, but then when you progres in the focus tree and decisions yo can fix that, what i mean is that after doing all of what i mentioned it still keeps decreasing

@@antasil5768 do you mean that bulgaria has scripted his manpower to drop to zero no mater the modifiers it has?, if so don't you see how shitty is that

Based on the information here I'd say you're not at war (yet)? Keep trying!

Oof, big question. Setting up infantry means getting a lot of stuff right: a good template, fully equipped, trained, supplied and possibly with air support. Superior numbers works too and know where to micromanage in the horrible terrain of the Balkans. Goodluck!

@@antasil5768 yeah especially the template is confusing as a new player 😅I have seen people recommend 7-2, 9-2, 10-2, 9-1, 10-0, 9-0, 8-3 etc. Every possible combination basically. And for every recommendation there is someone else saying that it isn’t meta anymore or that it has always been trash. Kind of a nightmare being a noob to this game ngl 😅

Its possible, that red influence. I've posted a bug report months ago and PDX only managed to look at it recently. I can only say that it might help if people reply to my forum posts on PDX forums maybe. Your war sequence looks very challenging and interesting. Sweden has so many possibilities!

@@antasil5768 the only challenge I would say is to hold Soviet troops while naval invade the UK, the Soviet Army gets a lot of winter war debuffs nowadays, 1.5 army is good enough to hold the line and make some encirclements while another army to invade the UK. Yes Sweden is fun, but it’s also the one that gives me the most headaches, I have to restart many times because of the RNGs to get the Nordic countries

Haven't played the Iron Wolf yet actually, might try it. Thing is, German help can be useful but if you play it right it's not needed. If you do use the Germans, they usually gobble up a lot of warscore. So it depends on what your goal is for the game.

Just for the funny or with a specific purpose?

@@antasil5768 just for the funny, yeah

Yesterday I once again tried a big Field Marshall order and again the FM sent my troops all over the place with big gaps in the frontline. I'll take my chances with more micromanagement from general orders.

Yeah its thanks to the power struggle of course. I must have tried a dozen times with just the border conflicts, near impossible.

Thanks, good to hear!

I'm doing fine, I'm on vacation in Germany!

I'll remember that

I've seen this comment from several people. All I can say is: file a bug report on PDX forums :-(

@@antasil5768 yea i try many times.... in first war i cant get achievment. I continued, i get Italy as a puppet. Sometime in 1941 they asked for independence, after refusal Italy immediately declared war. This time i get the achivment... i get all swiss ach. in one run. Your video is good

I've had this problem too, but usually with improved relations and maybe even diplomatic pressure from a spy this should work.

@@antasil5768 either way i gave up and did it the easy way with the little eu path.

@@lolmenx4 you know, I haven't been able to make the democratic EU path work for me recently, so I wouldn't call that easy myself ;-)

Yeah Norway is nice and has lots of possibilities

air volunteer rules have changed since this video was made. You can't send planes realistically.

Thats great! Thanks!

its kind of amazing that most parts of this age old strat still work. Taking UK navy is expensive, I usually let them keep it and puppet the UK somewhere to manage that fleet. As for designs, too much for this comment but I would recommend going for special forces if you're going for japan and china after.

@@antasil5768 awesome, thanks for the reply mate. one more question tho- whats with the random transformer jumpscare😂 it gets me every time!

@@antasil5768 also since you said sub1 spam is dead in the first video, what should i be doing instead?

@@RainyPlayz-nh5ql oh wow thats still in there?! I sometimes forget I did that way back when I started.

@@antasil5768 what should i make for navy if not sub1

yeah and I'm not really sure why they did that. They do offer choices a lot of the times, like in focus trees. And Italy has to choose between Mare Nostrum and Greater Italy, for instance. But formable nations and cores are mostly alt history fun anyway, so it shouldn't be this serious.

Excellent place to live but expensive. Goodluck!

@@antasil5768 Thanks! Keep up the good work!

Interesting DLC, well made. Better playable than BFTB when it first came out. Countries are a bit overpowered now, but thats to be expected. South America saw the least action in World War 2, so the DLC was destined to be alt-history all over.

please do, its actually quite fun!

Since the fascist paths are usually the strongest, those are the least interesting for me to play. Other than that I'm not sure I understand your question about the free american empire.

so do I!

Oh I do play mods, I like the Great War Redux and RT56 most of the regular ones. I'm not sure what to do with a video on that, really.

@@antasil5768 Well, what about doing just a simple gameplay on a path you like in one of these mods? I certainly would watch

I know right! It's a fun campaign but such a maze!

Yes it's really just for the PP. But I want to do collabs later on Germany anyway, so might as well make the spies useful while I'm still democratic. It costs a little industry to get the spy agency going, but with France I am not worried at all about my industry.

Thanks! It's from the game Age of Wonders 1 - I use it because its cool and its copyright free ;-)

@@antasil5768 Age of Wonders, yes, that's where I know it from! I thought it sounded familiar. Thanks for the reply and much love from a fellow Dutchie ;)

Thanks for the sub! Mapuche Chile is on the list!

Nope ;-)

That's me at my best!

I don't recall anything special really. They revolted when I took half their country and went into civil war. During the peacedeal I feed them their cores, and then it looked like this. Its a lot of clicking, so I cut that out of the video.

Age of Wonders 4 has music from the same composer! I hope to do a video on that game too, soon.

I like playing France!

Very likely. I've only seen Taureor do a video on that, and his and my playstyles are very different.

I had this other run where I did that. The timing was different, but denying sudetenland causes a war with germany and you automatically create a faction. Republicans joined and messed up my run that way. Still, it's morally right to protect the Czechs of course, I feel bad every time I leave them to it.
