  • Krakow is most known for being a joke nation at the start of Victoria II, but its actually a viable nation. If you play them properly at the beginning, you can become a strong nation within by the mid-game. I love playing these small tags because it feels so much more rewarding to become a GP and grow your empire from nothing.
    I used the mod ccHFM for this video - github.com/moretrim/ccHFM
    Sorry for the weird audio in some parts of the video. The noise gain I had set was too high and it caused some bad peaking. Also the lawnmower buzzing sounds are in this video but the music makes it easier to ignore. At the end I accidently cut off the last clip of me saying goodbye which without sounds really weird but I didn't feel like rendering the entire video again for 1 second of audio. The noise gate I set for the last voice clip also wasn't on so there is a weird buzzing sound (my bad).
    If you enjoyed this video be sure to check out my discord server where I might post some video updates and screenshots - / discord
    Music used (I don't own these):
    Polish national anthem
    Warszawianka
    Victoria II OST

    • @Smooved
      @Smooved  Před 2 lety +5

      The reason I reloaded from the beginning each time is because you restart, the events and wars that happen at the beginning of the game will play out slightly or drastically differently. Russia for example might build more brigades on one playthough or lose brigades on another playthrough. For nations like krakow these things can make a difference. Also savescumming makes the game less fun for me so I avoid doing it.

  • @Bigzthegreat

    Lore:
    After the brutal battle of Misk which saw a total humiliation of British armies, during 1937-1938, a civil war lead by Communists easily defeated (although with much scorched earth on the monarchist side) British guards due to the monarchist's incompetent leadership
    The Polish-Lithuanian Empire, infamous as ever would be brought down from their hegemonic position in world politics after the death of Smooved III, with the subsequent wars being one of the most destructive in world history.
    At 1939, Germany and Russia began an invasion of Poland. France, seeing a chance to reclaim their former territories joined the war, opening up the western front. The UK, despite their bitterness would be too exhausted to join another war, the tragedy of 1935 still looming over the footsoldiers of the army, lowering their morale.
    The Eastern front would see Polish troops taking defensive positions, although new German armour would challenge the defensive advantage of the old wars. Germany, with help from German partisans would retake Kongisburg, with their superior navy destroying whatever the polish cobbled together.
    The Russians would not see as much success as the Germans, as they would be stuck in old WWI strategies. Although they had found out how to utilize gas, they were still much behind technologically from Germany and Poland. Poland would end up making quite an expensive offensive, utilizing their planes to push to the Kiev river. They would then maintain defensive positions, seeing a continued offensive into Russia too expensive for what it was worth.
    In the Balkans, Austria and Hungary, seeking revenge, would join the war on the German's side. The mountains would prove to be a challenge that their meager armies could not pass however. Romania, being promised Russian territories, would support Poland in this war, with them pushing Hungary until German support arrived.
    The Dutch, still angered over their previous wars which resulted in a colossal humiliation would join the war in 1940. French troops would flood into the Netherlands, with Wallonia being encircled. The French would try to counterattack in Westphilia, as the Germans had made various breakthroughs in the south.
    At this point, it had became obvious that both sides just needed another great power to join in order to capitulate the other. The UK was still recovering from a civil war, the US was neutral, Spain and Portugal had little reason to join, with them being broken empires anyway, and Japan was on the other side of the world. Italy however, could be convinced to join.

    • @Bigzthegreat
      @Bigzthegreat Před 9 měsíci

      Italy was a wild card though. It was clear that the Italians had ambitions to control the Mediterranian, with them being quite aggressive towards Greece and the Ottomans, seeing them as weak targets. Getting Italy to join either side could spark the Ottomans to join the other.
