@@tommykirk3403 And you can't even set up collaboration governments. Probably only so that the French and British AI won't spam collabs everywhere because Paradox can't prevent that in their AI spaghetti code. It's not like the real life democracies set up something like a collaboration government when they invaded Italy, right? _Right, Paradox?_
Very corrupt smh
@Humanity Galatica Is this satire?

A funny thing about the US' focus tree is that you can do the communist path without actually ever becoming communist.
Like a true american
@@Brenh0lly yes like there are fascist but at the same time they are not
@@fedezanetti8470 what are you talking about? Lmao
@@Bahns007 They're saying Republicans are fascists. I'm an American leftist and pls believe me when I say irl we're not that stupid.
Yes, It's true. If you trigger 'facist' civil war with McArthur in charge you're become not facist but non-alike whichever percent of facist you have.

Thank you for the support! Love from Rock Island!
I played communist USA and had so much fun, thank you for this to watch so I can improve next time
Probably the most confusing Communist tree I ever played. No Step Back USSR taken into account.
Taureor: Tiny Americans.
Me: Impossible...
Something I sometimes do is just play as Britain or Latvia on the lowest difficulty and turns of historical focuses and Iron man mode to have some lazy fun.
The things I have seen Germany do is honestly freaky, especially when democratic civil wars happen in Germany and Yugoslavia during WWII of Yugoslavia doesn’t die.
Fascist American Civil War is the most cancerous thing in this entire game and literally makes me wanna pull my hair out whenever I try it. However I would love to see you attempt it Taureor, there are SO FEW relevant videos of it on all of CZcams, and the few that exist are super out of date! Would love to see how you go about pulling it off without wanting to die lol!
Feedback Gaming has a good couple videos on that when Man the Guns came out including an Unlimited Equipment USA Exploit (which btw still works)
Unfortunately outdated in most other aspects, Paradox patched the civil war so your opponents spawn WAY more troops now, basically impossible to cheese the fight in the same way Feedback did. Sucks because I think everyone wants to play fascist USA but it just nerfs them so hard it's not even worth doing the war anymore...
The legend says the ships are still repairing
"I would like to be free when I play... and I'm not free when I play the United States"

@@Bahns007 He doesn't believe in a classless, moneyless society. He just believes in capitalism with social nets and programs.
Navy is my favourite feature of HOI4, once you understand it, it’s so OP. What I would give for Taureor to release a video and say “I figured out navy time to kick some ass” I’d love that
hoi4 challenge: conquer japan, the allies, the comintern and germany as the us without getting rid of undisturbed isolation. bonus points if you do it without losing the great depression but since there is no wa you actually do that i am fine with just the first condition. would be nice to see you not be completely overpowered in 1939...
Early bird gets the anchluss
If you say never repair they will still maintain the current order for repair. You have to cancel it, that is the icon with: 2 wrenches that cross each other, and a red "X" in the left bottom corner, at the far right on the ships' bar. If you click that and accept it, they won't go to repair, but go for their given order.
Also, if you change a lot of dockyards to repair role, they will repair faster any more ships. They will still produce ships as they should, just they will instead repair when there are ships to repair.
Taueror, you’re the person that keeps me playing hoi4, and when i need to try and find something to do in hoi4 I come to your channel and look at your videos, you’re my idol and I when I become a pro at hoi4 I want to be just like you. From a very happy viewer
It suprises me every time how ai germany holds up despite getting attacked from everywhere
@Taureor, it might seem super un-obvious, but shift-right clicking a port with ships highlighted will change the naval base of the ships, which in turn will more or less "forcing" the ships to the desired naval base.
The easiest way to do naval supremacy with ships with minimum management is
1. Merge ships
2. Get military access if not enough naval range
3. Move ships to desired port by shift-right click
4. Balance ship
5. Set to no repair AND no retreat
6. Patrol areas need to be the same amount or lower than the total "forces".
7. Set to patrol if enough oil, naval invasion supp if not.
8. ???
9. Profit!
i know you mentioned having a relative that fought under one of the polish general's command. I have a great aunt that was part of Eisenhower's staff. She was hired to be a french linguist, until they asked her to translate something and she admitted she couldn't. Ike apparently laughed and said he'd find something else for her to do, which he did.
Democracy is the worst ideology. - Taureor 2020/2021
Taureor and naval management is pretty funny - usually fully in control. Poor Taureor. There are a few tricks to make the navies behave better. #1 is forcing the whole fleet to move (with no mission) after changing the settings when they're in a single taskforce to wipe any residual detachments etc. Then you can command normally.
If you start doing medium lobbying efforts from the beginning (before picking a focus) and chain them, along with chaining farm subsidies when they unlock, you'll never have congress issues. Also, conscription act + guarantee the american dream + attache to china gives you 50% war support and you can go straight to partial mob very early. Always best to beeline for the foci that reduce great depression, since there's the legislation delay.
"Call it democratic which will make it all better" 😂😂😂
Democratic Nazism
Better, because of the word "democratic"
I'd be down for a video where you form "The Golden Circle" as the CSA and maybe avenge 1812.
Hey Taureor, I love your videos, very motivating, thanks. I have something for you. As UK I was able to get core on: UK, Ireland, Canada, USA, France, Belgium, Netherland, Luxemburg,Germany,Italy, South Africa,Australia,NZ... I think this is me most amount of cores to get in the game. I have a challenge for you to get more cores. Best regards
I can already tell that this video will be epic
I would really like to see the other focus tree branch!
New challenge: "Army of One" - As Democratic Jamaica, contribute enough to the war effort to ensure the Allies win.
But why
@@Scourgeoftengri The real question is: why not?
hey Taureor, great video as always, one thing if you were not that sloppy with the fleets it would be much enjoyable for you. I can easily land an invasion in spain from miami, with very little micro management that I hate more than you... split your subs in packs of 20 make them convoy raiding the zones you need to go through use the tasks forces as strike forces not patrol in the zone you need to have your convoys to go through... easy stuff when done right and calmly :)
If you turn on automatic split off in the naval options thingy, its next to repair priority, your ships will split off and go into reserve when repairing and join back in the task force when they are fully repaired. just a useful tip :)
To be fair to the navy. Taureor made me very confused and I'm very good with the navy. Like I have never seen anyone manage to make their navy that confusing before.
Economics with Taureor 🤑🤑🤑 Love the content!
YES! :) excellent content as always :)
"Hello everyone I am torio and welcome to my newest haunted vine 4 video" closed captions as accurate as ever.
really like your videos! 👍
Taureror, what I like to do at the start of the game as USA is to build infrastructure (max infrastructure) because you start with Isolated economy (also USA is pretty strong and starts with 100+ civs) and you get if I correct -80% penalty for building factories, so I just build infrastructure and later when I remove that penalty I can just build back factories.
Just found out Taureor doesn't like clicking a button every 45 days... I mean it's not exactly fun but at least it gives you something to do every 45 days...
I will say, I do miss your son's cameos
"Leslie, good name for a comedian"
Ah.... I see you have excellent taste sir!
Taureor submarines have a much longer range than other ships. Make a task force of only submarines next time and the range thing wont be a problem. Also for death stacks with capitol ships it's much better to put them on strike force not patrol. They'll only go out when there's a fight and there's a much lower chance of losing valuable ships to enemy air.
Very nice. Yes I'd like to see the fascist tree. The civil war is not that bad you just gotta hold off until all the states fighting you join in takes a few turns.
finally you try to face your biggest fear. Navy
here another pun...
This is "no work" for taureron:
- play game for years and find exploits in the game
- make tons of videos and upload to youtube
- play game for hours
This is "work" for taureron:
- Play navy
- install mod
- complain about restricted mechanics
Didn't know Taureor is so based, we need the Goldstandard and we need to abolish the income tax!
Let’s use the lunch time to hear the best voice of CZcams
Thanks for your videos
You made my day perfect when u send a video
> Loves the gold standard and hates income tax
Might wanna look into economists who aren't part of the Austrian school there, Taureor
To the Chicago school I go then.
I don't necesarilly love the gold standard, but if you have any sort of savings and realize that the government is gradually stealing them by just printing more money, it does sting a bit. The gold standard may not be perfect, but the current fiat currency system just drains the middle class of savings
@@Taureor That's a fair grievance. Not being able to keep your savings in a liquid form is annoying, especially since I like to keep half a year's income/a full year's expenditure as an emergency fund. The gold standard swings too far in the other direction though- as wealth in a country increases due to increases in industrialization and technology, the inability to increase the currency supply causes deflation. Even under the gold standard, countries would end up having to redefine the exchange price of gold (the gold standard) to inflate their currencies, leading to sudden spikes of inflation rather than a gradual curve that a well managed fiat currency produces. And if you end up just increasing the gold standard every day or week to achieve an ideal inflation rate that correlates with your economic growth, then you might as well just use a fiat currency that's well managed.
Generally though, deflationary policies tend to benefit the already wealthy. While wealthier working class people (middle class) might see a marginal benefit from preserving their savings, extremely wealthy actors will see stupendous gains due to loans paying off even more. That's why many banks championed the gold standard, and why it's generally seen as a more right-wing position in the US. The canonical example in these time periods would be farmers vs bankers. Many family farms rely on loans to purchase seed crops, which they would then pay back with the excess of their harvest (usually just enough to cover costs on a good day). Easing up the gold standard would increase inflation, which would counteract some of the debt that those farmers accrued purchasing their seed crops. This also applies to many US middle class families that rely on mortgages to afford housing. Inflation over 30 years adds up a lot to making a house more affordable.
The downside to inflation is that wages have been stagnant, a fact that is obscured by inflation rates. Although, on paper, median American wages have slightly increased over the last 40 years, in terms of real income and purchasing power they have significantly decreased. Deflation doesn't couteract this, either- employers may be mighty hesitant to increase wages in the face of inflation without pressure from regulators or unions, but are more than happy to cut wages in the face of nominal profit loss due to deflation, and are perfectly able to use that nominal decrease to justify it as they have used the nominal wage stagnation and slight increase to justify cutting real wages.

For U.S. Navy... - they are short on Light cruisers, you need to build them... doesn't matter what, just so long as you have spotter planes. Will get back to that... The Navy is actually really easy, and once you figur it out, it's no different than choosing your starting research slots when you get to know the game. So, for the U.S., they have fifteenth battleships, and equal number of heavy cruisers, and 3 carriers, and I think 12 light cruisers, plus an crap load of destroyers. Split your battleships into groups of 5, with 5 heavy cruisers, 4 light cruisers ( add 6 more ideally, though you can get away with this realistically. ) and 20 destroyers and assign them a good admiral. I choose Halsey, Nimitz, and someone else, I forget. Guy with good traits... (King has the blockade runner trait, which makes the fleet more likely to retreat, good for convoys, bad for fleets...). And here is where you NEED more light cruisers. Spotting fleets. I use 1 light cruisers and 4 destroyers. (Think if it as the 7-2 of spotting fleets, except it still works...) make sure the light cruisers is the best it can be, and has spotting planes. Give them to a guy who has a spotting trait, and set to 'do not engage' if they are tier II cruisers of less and you don't have a lot. Or you can have them engage if they are good, as they can be quite useful if you can afford an occasional loss... Set these spotting cruiser to patrol in specific zones, and your battleships to strike in the same zones, and you have a winning formula. The AI never builds capital ships, (except the U.S. and France for some reason, but they build tier 1, 2, or 3 battleships, and always with tier 1 engines every 5 years or so, and not in every game. Idek why they bother.) But it's not hard to beat superior quantity fleets with less numbers. 6 tier 2 battleships with 4 carriers, 10 heavy cruisers and 20 destroyers playing s Germany will beat the British Navy every time. All naval doctrines are pretty good actually, again, the Ai ignores these focuses generally, so it doesn't matter what you get. It will always be an advantage. Base strike is probably the weakest though unless you truly focus on carriers. I feel like writing all this out makes it sound complicated... 🤣 It's really no harder than the rest of the game. If you can figure out the rest, you can figure out the Navy.
Also, subs, subs work great in 5's, 8', and 10's. I find 8's to be ideal. NY admiral you assign will get xp quick, as subs get used alot. The trick here is to of course, tell them to auto reinforce (as with all fleets), and auto split - off (DO NOT EVER DI THIS WITH YOUR STRIKE FLEETS. Battleships, carriers, and heavy cruisers will die fast this way... The Ai does this, and I makes things super easy. It's on by default... planes and subs will kill these ships fast without escorts. Set your fleets to medium repair priority (default) and do not split off, (button next to it - use Google... not default and important) your subs however are at an advantage by themselves, so auto split off is ideal. If one gets damaged, the rest continue, and it returns quick because it's a sub. Also, don't bother with tier 1's, they're worthless and you can still spam out enough tier 2's to get naval supremecy on any AI. And they're actually decent at convoy raiding while not dying so fast. Tier III's are the best overall however. Tier IV is expensive, and isn't a significant enough upgrade against the AI to be worth it. 50 subs is good enough, 80 is a target goal, 100 is ideal, anything above is a massacre. And you get ALOT of division kills from AI shuffling around divisions through the sea. It can add up extremely fast. Especially with Japan or the U.K.
It's really not complicated tho...
Is it weird I love to watch your videos when I sleep?
You can take the Union Representation Act Focus and choose the option that just loses 10% stability and you will not go to a civil war. That allows you to basically negate Congress and take all those juicy bonuses below it.

Whenever I think of naval management in this game, all I hear is 'chk! chk! chk!'
You can make the navy split off so the dameged ships will repair on their own, then your navy will last longer.

USA: **Becomes communist, fascist, or whatever non-aligned is.**
Congress: NO
I understand the humour of Bernie Sanders in the thumbnail, but there are many conservative Americans who inaccurately view him as a communist, even though he's in reality just a social democrat (mislabeling himself as a "democratic socialist") inspired by the New Deal policies of FDR and the Nordic model of social democracy.
Your joke about the gold standard at the very beginning makes so much sense after I visited Poland. Y’all got screwed by the EU. Złote should not have been left as your currency
Actually I found an interesting way to play USA:
Go right, hire the fascist damagogue, do war powers act, then hire democratic reformer, raising dem support and do neutrality act and all the bonuses in the middle path. You can use war powers subtree to grab war goals and conquer as much land as possible.
