As a Finn, it is kind of ironic to see that Finland has lots of everything. In reality, Finnish Army in the 30s lacked everything. Finns were the ones who bought anything from anyone to make up for their lack of everything.
Yeah that felt really off to me, irl Finland had to use captured soviet tanks fitted with old British mortars but in the game they gave them so many buffs it almost rivals Czechoslovakia in exporting equipment
@@quaker2636yeah, those army buffs also piss me off. Like I get it, paradox wants to represent Finnish winter war tactics or whatever. But THIS is definitely not the way you supposed to do that. I'm ok with giving stupid op buffs sometimes but pdx gave finns way too much. Though you still have zero issues with destroying finns as soviet union, so it's not as bad as it could be, I guess.
@@descram8094 I think they completely forgot what doctrine and tech research bonuses are for, and instead decided slapping a dozen national spirits and army buffs is what makes for good gameplay. So instead of a desperate defence like Finland had irl you get massive buffs just so the player can never stop feeling powerful for a second lmfao. And sadly it seems every minor country seems to follow this trend which is disappointing. Minors are supposed to be challenging to play, not stomping a major power's army like it's nothing. You don't win because your tactics are good, you win because the country you play has the Finnish flag.
@@quaker2636 btw check out sultanate of aussa, it also has ridiculous infantry bonuses. My friend and played as Ethiopia and Aussa. After kicking Italy out of africa we decided to fight eachother. But no matter what my friend did, he never was able to get even a single of my provinces and I just destroyed him after a while just because those irregular infantry bonuses are stupidly good.
I found that weird just as someone that's fairly into history - 'How the ----- does Finland have a lot of anything?!?' Besides snow and trees, I mean.
As a Canadian I can confirm I am a zombie
Bruhh💀
Confirmed
Same
Do you drink or eat maple syrup? Zombie
a smart zombie?
Always good to see Adrien Arcand, Canada's homegrown Dark Lord.
Lad looks like an eviler version of Walt Disney
So… Walt Disney?
I tried beating USA as Mexico in early 39 with newest update, they already had 60-80 divisions in historical. I got slaughtered.
Never before I have seen so early arming of USA. This worked fine in all previous patches.
maybe you created a lot of world tension? That unlocked a lot of focusses for them if I remember correctly
Full disclosure, you could also use Join Germany to get the DEI and go the long way from there. But Bitt3r was very deep into the sunk cost fallacy by the time I worked that one out.
We must power through, despite the lost braincells
@@Bitt3rSteellet's hope they regenerate
I need an explanation for DEI in this context. I've been at my university too long
@@buddermonger2000Dutch east indies. Easy way to get more manpower as a minor.
@@buddermonger2000 I don't pity you
As a Canadian, I can confirm that all of our (censored by youtube) do indeed look like Disney villains. They say the cold build character, and since it gets VERY cold here at times, most of our pubilc servants tend to be REAL characters ;)
Canada is one of the countries in the game that I enjoy most a democratic playthrough. It's large enough to have an actual impact on the war effort but still small enough that you can let the other allies do the heavy lifting and you can just do these smaller scale operations all over the world since the US and UK will dominate the seas for you.
So quite a relaxing country to play as a democratic nation and you don't have to wait as long to actually join the war like the US does.
17:03 "Not gonna call any of our puppets in."
Yes, because you have none.
Im excited for when he will eventually reach a country like Liberia or Ireland
I love these videos, they genuinely help me play the game better, and when i play with my friends they love the amount of memery
I remember getting all the Canada achievements with your older video some time ago!
That leader portrait, I swear...
As a Canadian, I would prefer being ruled by a disney villain than the one we have now
facts
What, Trudeau? I thought he was really popular.
@@mknote It's just trendy to dunk on him. If he wasn't popular he wouldn't continue to win elections.
@mknote He's controversial at best. A lot of people don't like him these days it seems.
@@AdamantLightLP it's just very popular to shit on the PM on the internet for X or Y reason. Tends to happen when our PMs last a long time. Same thing happened with the previous one, but it was less fashionable to shit on politicians on social media back then, especially in this kind of way.
it's nice that the mod is finally working in AAT now so you don't have to suffer anymore
I love playing Canadian and using special forces and really good mech/tank build. I let my Allies do all the holding and I just delete enemy divs
Thats basically MP build for all of the commonwealth except raj. Due to manpower issues they’re better off creating small elite armies that pack a punch
Whenever I create a Intelligence Department with Canada, I name it "Deer Squad (RMPIC)". "Royal Mounted Police Intelligence Corp" just sounds cool to me, and I find the "Deer Squad"-nickname funny, even if it doesn't make all that much sense...
Hey bitt3rsteel love your videos can't wait for wait for the next one. If it's not to much trouble can u do a doctrines guide and mabye give examples for when to choose one over another and maybe give some template ideas for them if not no problem love the video either way
I love playing Canada. They can easily be turned into a major and they get Mechanized SUPER EARLY.
I remember wanting to earn some easy achievements, so I chose Canada, planning to get "Canada First" and "Send in the zombies". I decided to set historical AI off (custom rules to ensure Germany and Italy were historical).
The Allies attacked Germany after their attempt to annex Czechoslovakia, and the Reich collapsed before I could join.
I went the synarchist route and was defeated by America within three months.
Funny times.
Imagine not realizing that getting rid of the Quebec debuff probably gets you as much manpower as the 2% recruitable population. And that's not even going into how it affects how much non-core manpower you get.
Imagine not realizing you can't get there in time to deck the USA before the join the allies
As a Maryland resident first I wanna say this is the first time I’ve heard someone not from Maryland pronounce the name correctly and secondly Washington isn’t technically in Maryland but it’s honestly still an unofficial part of Maryland crab gang lol 🦀
DC (before it was technically DC) used to be part of our great state!
Heh, that icon was the same one I picked for my recent Sami run, because "Looks like a reindeer".
That said, I'd LOVE to see a Sami Unification Guide from you. I thought I had a basic grasp of what I needed by starting with the Swedish lands, going Communist for the Picture of Free Manpower, and the idea of of perhaps pouncing on Finland during the Winter War, Norway while it was under Occupation, then Kola when the USSR gets slapped. But... didn't play out quite right.
I actually do quite enjoy Canadia myself. But that's just me being a minority in germs of Hearts of Iron players. Most people I know want to take the grand powers that are in a position to win and just win harder. Playing the UK, Germany, the US, or the USSR. Me? Well my first run was "I'm going to be Brazil". I have more fun playing Ethiopia or Switzerland or Portugal than I ever do running the USSR for instance. I like playing Minor nations and seeing what I can do with it over having the "Already winning" position and winning harder.
Which particularly in the video space is a highly unpopular position in strategy games.
Dude I love your Vids & the New thumbnail designs are amazing!
Glad you like them!
As you go through A to Z I highly recommend modded focus trees like the South America one :)
I would really love to see Bittersteel go for democratic finland! I experimented with it a little bit and it seems to have great potential
I enjoy playing Democratic Canada and rushing mech. I'm thinking of rushing mech and eventually adding the super heavy tank company to them.
Mans is commenting about Washington being in Maryland, when he's playing Canada and Alberta is just Saskatchewan.
Canada is one of my favourite minors. On historical the tanks and marines you can make pre-AAT were busted. Can get mechanised 2 in 1939-1940 and good mediums or lights in 1938. In AAT you could probably buy the guns and support equipment from America and only focus on building those tanks and mechanised.
Or you can do the Cav US bum rush
As a Canadian, this makes me very happy, very happy indeed. Long Live the Maple Leaf 🍁
I have no idea why they ever made you choose between having manpower and having an industry. It was such a strange choice to make that a decision and took too long to change.
Snake for victory! My last canada game was tank canada. Was fun encircling endless Italian, german, and soviet divisions.
This is honestly one of the hardest achievements to get. I've tried this many times without success....the AI somehow counters me every time I make a move towards DC or they have divisions in DC that I can't push out of the tile before a stupid amount of reinforcements show up.
Same. I'm on my 5th or 6th try now. And the US has joined the Allies each time.
The worst part is when you somehow manage to push in the east coast and they naval invade you behind your lines ☠️☠️
Given that it was Maryland which ceded the land for the District of Columbia, it is actually kind of both its own thing and yet still within Maryland's original borders and far too small to be rendered by the game as a state in itself. You are completely right but with an asterisk.
The logo you picked for the intelligence agency was either an elk or a deer. Maybe even a reindeer. Moose have bigger antlers.
Yeah, uh, HOI4 really did us Canadiens dirty lol. First nation I tried because of course, and MAN is Canada's Focus Tree underwhelming. Here's hoping you can somehow make us interesting lol.
Yeah it’s really disappointing considering how much Canada helped in WW2
All of the commonwealth nations are kinda ass.
The bicycle seat sniffer returns
Imagine being an american and hordes of Canadian horsemen come charging across the border
Great video aside. The thumbnail is top tier!
RCMP Security Service was Canada's CIA before is changed to the CSIS.
Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to make 2/3/4/5 way war by playing both sides and taking the blue/red/brown guy and igniting another civil war, going infinitely like that ? (Making the other side user controller by playing multiplayer could help, if this is possible)
very nixce video
Thought it was funny you tried to look up Canadian Cental Intelligence but had troubles... must be they're doing a good job 😂
"This is good for Bitcoin" MAN. Bittersteel with the absolute deepest cuts.
"Or don’t if you’re a coward" 😂😂 Love it
Love your videos
As a zombie I can confirmed we are Canadian
Keep this thumbnail style around 👌
I love the futurama clips
"west of the T in sTaTes"
me trying the strategy sweating profusely....
Adrien Arcand was a great man, some people I know knew him personally.
3:44 Well you can't be Bitter about that! Surely
It really illustrates how disconnected from reality the political mechanics of hoi4 is when canada flips fascist and the UK just sits there while the US is invaded by mounties like 'this is fine'
For some reason in my save UK keeps joining America
I have a suggestion, what if you play"battle of seelow heights" endsieg(I'm sure you can't save this one)
You should try the macau achivement
Canada is a lot of fun if you are willing to ignore the Geneva convention.
As a Canuck it bugs me that our focus tree forces us to choose between production and manpower. We had both! We built more trucks than any other allied nation, and 1.1 million Canadians served out of a population of 11 million at the time. We ended the war with the 4th largest air force and the 3rd largest navy.
Feels like our MTG tree was made back when minors were still minors and the devs had to compromise to keep us from being too strong, whereas countries that were in the war for 5 minutes are now getting overpowered trees that give them infinite manpower, 400 factories and 30 national spirits so they can easily fight Germany and Russia at the same time.
Just want to point out 2 things.
1-You get both industry and manpower now which Bitter points out in the video.
2-Canada got its focus in TFV, not MTG.
axis powers the whole time during ww2: i know whats wrong with it, aint got no gass in it
I played historical canada with only special troops. Made bunch of fighters and only paratroopers. Oh boy it's fun as fuck. Paratroopers are funny to play. Just drop them behind the line and don't touch it. Push from the other side with strong units and bam you vibe a whole army. It's just funnier they melt in numbers after you pocket them constantly.
I can explain a way to cheese it if you would like to give it a try
Could you make an updated division templates guide.
Did you remember to take Attu Island when you took Alaska?
You should have played Canada in The Great War Redux
Well I just tried it and UK garanteed the US mid 38 so idk how you did it but I guess you either got lucky or I got unlucky
You probably had some fucked up world tension
how do you tell a division when micromanaging it to go to one place and then go to another place still going through the first one? Mine just go to the newest place i selected by the shortest path.
You hold shift and click each province in the order you want to go in. Holding shift generally adds orders to the end of a “queue” to be done after the unit finishes whatever it was doing
6:56 An epic shout-out to Hovelax.
Back again asking for a world ablaze play through for Germany’s A2Z run
Hey BitterSteel, I have noticed that you play hoi4 at 1440p resolution and your UI is normal sized, but when I play at 1440p my UI becomes tiny. Did you have that problem and if so, how did you fix it?
Use UI scaling in the options menu
@@Bitt3rSteel THANKS!
can’t believe he knew washington, d.c. is a separate entity and not part of maryland
Hey everyone, I have a disaster save as France I would like to send to bittersteel, can someone tell me how I can do that?
Usually playing as canada I beat usa with only cavs
The canadian intelligence agency is called csis
Bittercoin a new coin to lose my entire net worth in?
We can all agree that the Commonwealth nations need a rework.
As a Canadian our "intelligence" service is call CSIS, Canadian Security Intelligence Service
I was waiting for a month
Bitt3r you should try Hitman 3!
Canada also known as upper America. Fun video regardless
Washington D.C. is it's own thing, but it's so small it'd probably be unrealistic to include it on the map.
19:58 bittercoin?! I buying that
When it’s a be fascist compaction and your opponent is bittersteel
I still wonder what Send in Zombies focus name means. What they mean by that name
Some googling and wikipedia skimming indicates it was originally a derogatory term for conscripts in Canada during WWII, at a time when conscription laws only permitted them to be deployed in Canada defensively. It was an insult declaring them neither living nor dead, more literally as neither fully deployed nor civilians, among those who advocated for Canadian involvement in the war further and sensing conscripts abroad, who often heaped verbal abuse on the conscripts to get them to volunteer for active service instead. The ‘zombie’ in question specifically refers to the Jamaican superstition tradition, not the living dead or diseased husks we’re familiar with in pop culture. Obviously, mass conscription -would- do wonders for recruitable population, hence the focus’s benefit.
That said, the devs finding an excuse to give a country a focus named “Send in the Zombies” is *hilarious as fuck*.
When I declared war the US joined allies? How Do I make that not happen?
how can i get rid of the divided govermentspirit as democratic france?
POV: You're an American who accidentally dumped maple syrup in the habour and starts hear moose noises
I bet you like to know
SOON SWEDEN IN A2Z (literally soon if you think) but GREAT video
Hey Bittersteel, what do you mean with the Tree is horrible? Like it raises the difficulty of the gameplay or something else?
It's just very uninteresting and the bonuses it gives, just aren't that good compared to other treez
Still less evil than modern Canada
Hello Bitt3rSteel could you please make a Beginners Guide for HoI4 but 2023 Edition since the 2021 is outdated by quite a lot. -pls
next play as curaco 💀
day 1 of asking for template tutrorial or tierlist
Do i need Dlc's to have the same hoi4 as he?
But you’re Canada, you have no puppets? 😂 as for Alaska, not only cleaner borders but obscene amounts of chromium
land of the war crimes
I like the new thumbnails but the og hits different
I'm trying to make a mix of both styles. I hope this one looks better than the previous ones
@@Bitt3rSteel it is good
cool video!
@@Bitt3rSteel- ,ok
Big scam, don't listen to it
Lore of Canada sucks, but a Disney villain might make it work...Momentum 100
CANADA RULES!
I think Canada is one of the most interesting countries that someone can play as.
The Canadian “CIA” is CSIS
Play as France with natural borders mod.
wat is the best buget cpu for hoi4
