  • With the addition of the Waking the Tiger expansion, Paradox added a handful of formable nations into HoI4. Among them, the Holy Roman Empire. It's arguably the most difficult to form, relying on solid strategy and a long series of events. Let's make it happen!

    Hey Pravus I've went through almost all of your HOI4 playlist. I've never been this invested before in someone's gameplay. You not only introduced me to HOI4, but to Paradox's games in general. You're a very knowledgeable speaker to what you are doing and why. Keep up the awesome content and can't wait until you "This is going to be Lit" is finished".

    Pravus, in order to form the HRE, you need to complete the focus "An Alliance with the Shade". You can't go down "Focus on the True Enemy".
    EDIT: Also, the Hindenburg must survive.

    After the failed assasination of the british S.A.S. troops in Egypt, Rommel gave the fallen british soldiers a proper military burial. He was an absolute gentleman and brilliant leader. "War without Hate" is one of his famous quotes. I've read his book, Infantry Attacks. It's about his missions in WW I. Recomend to every history-military lover to read it. Brilliant book.

  • @hiddenecho9056
    @hiddenecho9056 Před 5 lety +6

    On that glitch thing about having soldiers in the water, you could interpret it like so: they-the army-are on naval shipscontrolled by you. The lower ranks might not care about who they follow, and when their commanders tell them to try and take over the navy's ships-that they don't know how to man-they rebel and join the guys that don't result in drowning. Kinda a stretch, but an explanation nonetheless.

    • @ivanoid3973
      @ivanoid3973 Před 5 lety +1

      Sure, but in 1942 greater Germany and Italy had a higher combined population than the USSR... and that's not even counting other nations in the war like Finland, Romania, Hungary etc. And yet German High Command failed miserably in capturing any strategic objectives like Leningrad, Moscow, or Stalingrad.
      Talk about having a manpower and industry advantage and still losing to superior operational execution by the Stavka :) But please, cry more about how the Third Reich was so great.

    the special forces limit depends on the size of your army. the higher number of fielded regular army you have, the more special forces you can have

  • @jamieswafford977
    @jamieswafford977 Před 4 lety +1

    Lol, I see where you're going. There's another army feature like that. Right before a civil war ignites, delete all armies in the field. Once you or the game starts the civil war, then deploy the troops. You should get all troops that were being trained. So basically, you get all the troops and the enemy gets none.

    Id like to see you redo this one with man the guns because it's very very different now, and the war exploit w aass fixed but it's easy if you conquer Poland before you start the civil war then you get more land and double the troops if you trained up a bunch for some early conquest

  • @Smeghead76
    @Smeghead76 Před 6 lety

    4:35 "Battleships win the naval war every dang time"
    Except when someone spams naval bombers at you. Then your very expensive battleships become very expensive artificial reefs.
    21:50 "If I don't have an army, are the Netherlands more likely to refuse to give me Wilhelm II?"
    If you delete all of your army, it's 100% that they refuse to allow Wilhelm II to return from exile. Presumably, there's a formula for working out the percentage chance, but I can't be bothered to fish through the event files to find it.

    Special Forces cap is supposed to be 5% of your regular batallions. 5 Special Forecs batallions for every 100 regular (I assume this includes Infantry, Motorized, Mech, Armored, Artillery + derivatives) batallions.
    Train more regular batallions, unlock more Special Forces batallions.
    Note the percentages are calculated at batallion level, not division level, so you can't just train more 10 width (or 2 width, for that matter) regular divisions to artificially push up the cap.
    So, a 20 width 7inf + 2 arty division is 9 batallions. You need 11.1 of those divisions to unlock 5 more Special Forces batallions.
