- The army. The most important part of your military in Hearts of Iron IV, it’s essential you have the basics down to start playing this game. Luckily I’m here to take you through everything you need to know as a fresh recruit to Hoi4!
The Beginner's Guide series is for new players to learn the core concepts of Hearts of Iron IV. All these tutorials are assuming players are using the vanilla (un-modded) version of the game, and have not yet purchased any DLCs.

------------------------About Me------------------------
My name is Hammo and I stream on Twitch! I play a variety of RTS and strategy games, but my favourite game by far is Hearts of Iron IV.
I love this game and it's complexity, strategy and historical focus, but these are also reasons people can find it hard to get into Hoi4. The endless spreadsheets, statistics, buffs and debuffs can be overwhelming without someone to show you the ropes, which is where this channel comes in!
I will be creating and posting beginners guides, tutorials, walkthroughs, tips and tricks videos, just about everything I can to get you playing and enjoying Hearts of Iron IV as much as I do!

Gold standard for HOI4 tutorials that I've found on YT, much appreciated keep it up! Concise and clear, love the decision to break the videos down in 10+ minutes focusing on each aspect, rather than some behemoth 2hr tutorial that just looks impenetrable lol. TY :)
Thank you so much!
These are very well produced. Enjoyable to watch and they don't waste your time. I intend to re-watch as I play. Thanks.
I'm so glad they're helpful! Thanks so much :D
I have watched several 'beginner' videos, yours have been the best so far. Thank you for being so thorough and explaining every click (or right-click)! It's very helpful to have such clear instruction.
Thanks so much!! I "watch" a lot of CZcams without actually watching so find it really helpful when I can still follow along just by audio, so I'm glad I'm able to bring that to my videos in a way!
THIS IS WHAT I CALL A GOOD VIDEO.
YABBA DABBA DO!
one of the best guides to hoi4 military, earned a sub!
Thanks so much!
Another tremendous job. The pace and detail are perfect. Will be viewing these multiple times over my plays.
I appreciate it!!
I sooooo much needed exactly this type of tutorial at the very beginning. Actually, I’m not that far from the beginner lvl 😅, so it’s still very useful! Many thanks ❤!
Hey thanks so much!
Great job of explaining Army creation and deployment basics! Thanks! :)
Thanks so much!
Thank you!
Thanks, these videos are great and very helpful!
Thank you! I'm glad they've helped!
Amazing explanation 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much!
great videos, haven't played since 2017 so these really helped me get back in quickly
Thank you! Happy to help!
Great video!
Thanks so much!
nicely done!
Thank you! ☺️
Amazing and easy guide!
Thanks so much!
Thanks 🙏
You're most welcome!
Crazy good videos and also I don’t skip cutscenes
A man who respects the story. Love that
Also thank you!
Could you make a guide for all the different option in the tech tree and how to keep up supply?
Sure am! It's in the works :)
@@hammotimee thats great! Its so difficult to get properly into the grit of this game
@@Matt-lk5ng That't what I'm here for! ;)
as a 100 hour noob I needed this
I'm here fornya
its my 3rd playthrough as germany, I am having problems with frabce and belgium and I literally had 200 divisions attacking belgiums 7 divisions and their divisions kept coming back for like 3 years until I lost everything 😂
I never use battle plans because they frick up my attacks i only use front line orders and then i micro with the armor and motorized well the infantry is lagging behind cause i already destroyed the armys by running them over and just taking the remaining ports and stuff lol
These guides are for new players starting out, they need to use front lines as they learn the game
Hey I have a question. how do the divisions cross the water when they get called up? Is it using the convoys? Or do they need to cross via navy?
Yep you just need convoys and it works automatically!
Great video! I have a small request, or rather some constructive criticism. The audio levels for spoken voice is too quiet. I am suggesting that you increase these levels by 4dB - 6dB.
Ah, nevermind! I just opened your Production and Trade video and its got PERFECT voice levels!
@@TylerChristensen69420 Thanks for the feedback! You're absolutely right, it's far too quiet in these earlier videos, I'm glad you agree that the sound is better as I go along, it's a long learning process and hopefully you can see the improvements as I do! Thanks for the support :D (And if you have feedback on any of the other vids please let me know! It'll just make them better!)
an efficient, short, neatly explained, that is very understandable to dumb people, explanation about a mechanic about hoi4? I must be dreaming.
Time to wake up buddy because it's here!
With smaller nations, I only have 1 general I can choose. How do I recruite a new one? I saw in videos there should be a button on the bottom left for PP to add a new one, for me the button says 'see field commanders' or something like that. How can I recruite new generals? I also have no field marshall option. Do I have to promote a division leader to general, then a general to a field marshall? I have all DLCs on (might be a mistake on my part, but its more fun this way even if I'm losing)
I'll make a video on this, but in your officer corp, you can open up the "officers" tab and you can promote divisional commanders to generals. THen when you are in the general menu, you can promote a general to a field marshall
Thanks, for some reason I thought it would be easier to hire one :D @@hammotimee
Can you assign two separate armies to the same front and keep the generals? Every time I try to assign them to the line, then transfer from one general to another
You can! You just need to draw a seperate frontline for each army, they can overlap 😁
@@hammotimee ah okay, I thought maybe that was the case. Thank you for clarifying!
@@seekay9815 You're welcome! You can also use a field marshall order to assign multiple armies to the same front :)
What does the yellow
! ??mean and how do you get rid of it
The yellow ! Usually means your divisions have not enough org to move, or moving to where they are meant to go will put them out of supply. Best way to fix this is select the division and right click near where you want them to go and it should fix itself! Or also there may be no path for them to get where you want them to go
@@hammotimee how do you make path
I might've missed it, but is there no way to add divisions to an existing army?
Now you mention it, I'm not sure if I said! Select the divisions you want to assign to the army, then right click on the generals portrait OR hold control and right click to the frontline of the army you want them to be assigned to! 🪖
@@hammotimee thx
Great video, but could use less distracting music.
Thanks! I've fixed this in future videos, as you go through the beginner guides series you'll hopefully see my slow improvements!
Are there land mines?
No there's not! That would actually be an interesting addition...
I will skip the cutscene to story games only if I have seen he scene already recently. If it's been a little while since I've seen the scene, I'll watch it again. I play story games for the story, not necessarily the game but, if I just saw a scene 2 minutes ago because I died 30 seconds ago, I'll skip it.
Me too, I'm replaying fallen order right now and watching everything getting ready for the new game 😅
@@hammotimee I was always partial to the old school Parasite Eve and the not so old Dante's Inferno. The live action Wing Commander series were pretty awesome, too.
Very useful but music irritating as F. To loud for one.
Yeah cheers for that! I defs have it mixed better in future vids 😄
Thank you!
