Dunking on US Foreign Policy - Hoi4 Speedrun Commentary
I explain how the new Monroe doctrine in Hearts of Iron 4 completely ruined the United States foreign policy in the game, plus bonus skit. The run was done with Trial of Allegiance / v1.14.
Join my Discord: discord.gg/vHsT6EEkxP
Full unedited run: (coming soon)
This campaign is primarily about fast justifications and the Monroe Doctrine mechanic in version 1.14, although we of course also cap the Allies rather quickly. I hope you enjoyed the little spy comic at the start. It was great fun making it, but if it's not your cup of tea:
00:00 - Herr Hinkel returns from Washington
00:49 - Speedrun Commentary

    @TheGamerCant Před 14 dny

    Question - When you said you have 15 to 21 days before you have to select an event option (1-7 excluding the event cooldown period), did you find this in the game files? I say this because I'm looking through the game files now, and this is the code that I've found: common/on_actions/10_toa_on_actions.txt, line 737 is what triggers the event for the USA about an American country coming under attack, and fires 24 hours after your declaration of war. events/TOA_generic_events.txt, line 2638 contains south_american_events.50, which contains "is_triggered_only = yes" as opposed to "trigger = { }", so it's firing for the USA is not random. From here, we will assume that the AI will always pick the option to send you the ultimatum, which fires event south_american_events.51 for the aggressor country (The AI will always pick event options immediately upon them getting the event). At lines 2677 & 2678, the event is fired with "days = 5, random_days = 3". This adds five days (120 hours) onto the initial 24 delay the USA, plus a random number of hours (0-72 inclusive) from when you declare war to when you receive the event from the USA telling you to back down (south_american_events.51). Doing the maths, you have the 24h initial delay for the USA to get the event, 120 hours + 0-72 random hours for you to get the event demanding you leave, and 336 hours for the event to time out, giving you anywhere from 480-552 hours (20-23 days) to end the war.

I tried looking through the code, but I couldn't quite make sense of it and have had some bad experience with timers nor working as expected, too, so I pretty much just went by experience. Should've known better, since that's always a trap. Thank you for digging into the details!

    • @m3an
      @m3an Před 16 dny

      I did a speedrun to form the HRE, but it's on an older version and it involves exploits that have since been patched. You can nevertheless use this exact opening and transition into the civil war right after. It takes slightly longer, since you of course cannot take the Rhineland focus. And make sure to avoid a delay between the end of the war with the Allies and the start of the civil war to avoid the Hindenburg event from triggering.

Afaik the decisions work with Britain annexed as well, but you can also release them as a puppet if needed. Justification time against Switzerland is indeed an issue. Even with max modifiers and the backroom stabber, it takes 220 days or something. I would suggest to disable By Blood Alone to get rid of Switzerlands nat spirit or suffer through the justification time.

    You can get an extra immediate 2.2% world tension by disbanding your faction and forming one with Italy. You can boot them by April 28th and then reform with Yugoslavia. However that costs an early 10 political power so ... Alternatively, you could send volunteers to ethiopia or Italy to get a slight boost.
