  • Waaaaaaaaaay back in the day I did a PRE-RELEASE campaign with Italy -- but with three years of patches and several major expansions... it's a different game. THINGS ARE GOING TO GET A LOT REDDER.

    "Maybe we will start some crap with greece,it will be fairly easy." 10/10 historically accurate campaign.

    Quill: If we just attack Romania, and let's say they join... I mean, they could join the Axis.
    Romania: **Is currently at war with Germany**

    • @MaliciousMarvel
      @MaliciousMarvel Před 4 lety

      The best part is that they are in a never-ending war with Germany.
      They took Hungary, that's why they're in there to begin with. But since Quill cut them off for good, they have no chance of reaching each other. Sucks to be you, Kingdom of Romania.

    Romania is a good target, since they are already at war with the axis so they cannot join them. I would do it quickly before germany eyes poland, cos than they would get a land connection with romania, and possibly surround you and cut you off from the soviets......plus if you take romania you can wave the oil problem goodbye.

    You should look into pinning attacks, you'd have broken them way earlier if they hadn't been able to cycle in fresh divisions into the forrest tiles across the river.

  • @JudahSavahna
    @JudahSavahna Před 4 lety +4

    The planning bonus after you execute a battle plan gives pretty substantial attack bonuses. You can also spend command points for more attack power on your generals temporarily

  • @Skycroft1000

    Romania is at war with the Axis, so they might be a good target? They may join the Commonwealth though.

  • @ongalave6590

    To form the Roman Empire you do actually need a part of Hungary and the Transilvania provinces in Romania

    I'm having a great time with this, and how you're explaining it as you means even if I have no grasp of HOI's mechanics, I can somewhat understand what's going on?

  • @TheKlier
    @TheKlier Před 4 lety +1

    Hi quill18, keep up the good content! Loving this series!!!!!
    Just recently watch your Hearts of Iron 4 tutorial series aswell loved it, the explaining was clear and I'm thinking about trying the game because of that.
    Would you consider doing the "same" tutorial videos for Imperator of Rome?
    Cheers keep it up :D!

    Hi, I have seen already a lot of your gaming video's and I am at the moment also playing for Italy in HoI4, it is my favorite nation to play in the game. I have played already all versions of HoI and the first computer game I have purchased now almost 30 years ago was Civilization 1. One question, why don't you use also the Army Group frontline to place all your selected army divisions belonging to the same army group on the Amry Group frontline too? This for creating an offensive army group arrow on the map too with smaller attack arrows for the remaining divisions operating under the army commanders ? I don't see on CZcams almost no one doing this, but it creates more realism regarding frontlines and offensive battleplans. You can use the "create frontline feature" also for Army Group commanders as you do that for army commanders. This works simultaneously having more realistic looking frontlines in where the army frontlines are not not placed behind each other but beside each other. This is automatic done by the game mechanism for all the army's that are selected with the army group (marshall) command if you use the army commander instead of each seperate army commander when creating frontlines. With the fully function Army Group frontline all the to that group belonging army's will always stay beside each other, also when somewhere the frontline is moving. I use this technick by creating one single attack arrow on the strategic level for the whole Army Group, then I deselect in the Army Group individual divisions to create with them the on operational level coordinating army attacks in the battleplan under command of their own army commander. I also use generals to act as lieutenant generals to create an army corps having about 3-5 divisions in it for specific small (support) tasks in the frontline.

  • @Warmagon
    @Warmagon Před 4 lety +8

    If you're worried about Germany, maybe create a path either of conquered territory or friendly countries between you and the USSR so they could do something to help if war breaks out? Then you wouldn't have to worry as much about starting a war v the Axis, especially since you're already weakened Germany quite a bit by stealing its expansion opportunities.

    • @MaliciousMarvel
      @MaliciousMarvel Před 4 lety

      He didn't steal Belgium. To be honest, Belgium is a smart move as Germany. The Maginot Line is hard to cross, but easy to bypass.

    Since you've taken Austria and Czechoslovakia, it should be easy to identify when Shmitler begins his Demand Sudetenland focus, as it will be directly after he Reasserts Eastern Claims and demands Memel from Lithuania

  • @harrydowning8278
    @harrydowning8278 Před 4 lety +1

    You probably won’t read this but if you do the reason you had so much trouble is you had not much CAS and you didn’t do your land doctrine I recommend doing those

    @Protorit Před 4 lety

    @Quill; If you don't pick a research, it saves up to 30 days of points. So if a tech finishes in December, you could just pick a research in January and avoid a month of ahead of time penalty.

  • @shdwbnndbyyt
    @shdwbnndbyyt Před 4 lety

    Quill, if you are in December, save the research until January. It cam save you A LOT of research time (no or lessened ahead of time penalty plus the saved 30 days of research). And PLEASE put a radar on Rhodes as you said (earlier episode) that you would.

    You sould use maintinence companies so you can capture enemy equipment. That is esential in legendary or in countries with low production. When ı played a (semi) historical Turkey most of my tanks (ones that are not captured were sent by america), infantry equipment and artilery were captured

    If you have a bunch of forts in the middle of your territory and need to build a wall somewhere else, then it is worth it to dismantle the useless forts to speed up the new ones. I did it once when playing Romania and was preparing my Soviet front in Moldova. The forts in Czhekoslovakia were useless to me and King Carol spends most of my factories on his mistress anyways.

  • @RyknowChaos

  • @FootClob
    @FootClob Před 2 lety

    I would've went from Yugoslavia to Romania, romania will solve your oil problems, and then u can attack Czech from the eastern borders from romania divisions. The eastern side is very easy to breakthrough. Keep the other divisions on the southern Czech side in defence make the eastern front close on the southern defence so u can surround them, then u attack with the southern front and u encircle and slaughter their divisions. That way you will save time while also getting romania

    It's an interesting phenomenon in this game that an expansionist fascist state doesn't at least partly collapse back into it's constituent states after a major ideological, government and social change into communism.
    But Quill18 isn't playing historically accurate. It's a game - an abstraction from reality - after all.
    The Kaiserreich mod in this sense feels more realistic, in a weird way.
    Great playthrough so far, @Quill18, looking forward to watching more :)

    Silly question: If quill isn’t playing on Iron Man then why does he keep talking about the achievement?

    • @Blegg000
      @Blegg000 Před 4 lety +2

      I think he has said before that getting the achievement "officially" doesn't matter too much for him, doing the same thing non-ironman is as valuable. And TBH achievements like this are mostly to set up fun ways to play the game anyway, rather then bragging rights...

    • @daredaemon8878

      No achievement -- just an in-game decision that I've set as a soft goal, just so I have something to work towards.

    you spent a year when it could have been finished much quicker with force attack....
    force attack is the button above your battleplans...
