    Challenges playlist: • Hearts of Iron IV Chal...
    The challenge is to play as Austria and refuse the Anschluss by Germany. Then we need to defeat Germany. We start with a small army and very little time, because the Anschluss happens in early 1938. We have to be ready by then. Pulling the reverse card on Germany!
    Hearts of Iron IV Austria challenge.
    Rules:
    - Play as Austria
    - Refuse Anschluss
    - take over Germany
    - Ironman
    What did I do wrong, what did I do right? What should my next challenge be, if any. Let me know in the comments.

    I have always been a fan of challenges where you have to influence the world.
    So I have two ideas in mind:
    Challenge 1 spread two different ideologies (for example, turn all Allies majors communist and all Axis and Comintern members democratic)
    Challenge 2: be the best sidekick there is! As any nation, make an ally very powerful. You must always make them constantly more powerful than you, and always ensure to annex more territories to them than to you. The trick here is that you have to rely on their competence and not yours, and we all know relying on the AI is crazy difficult.

    Fun-fact: The name for the Fascist Austrian leader is correct. Arthur Seyss-Inquart was Chancellor of Austria for the last 2 days before the Anschluss and the Reichsstatthalter of Austria for one year. And as another fun-fact, his name is also used for RK Netherlands, because he also was the Reichskommisar for the Netherlands since its creation to the final Nazi surrender. He was also Deputy Governer-General of the General Goverment (occupied Poland). He would be judged at Nuremberg and executed for his crimes.

    I think in terms of historical or non historical. It would be cool to see the non historical as a major, because there's a greater chance your traditional allies go against you and you will end up fighting harder or unexpected opponents.
    For smaller nations I think historical is best because you have a actual chance of knowing where the enemy will go

  • @monkeydetonation
    @monkeydetonation Před 2 lety +2

    Personally I do historical if I'm playing a minor who is particularly vulnerable to the ahistorical paths, and I have a specific goal in mind. If I'm playing a major I'll turn off historical as I'm pretty confident I can take whatever the game might throw at me, and I find the chaos can be quite funny at times

  • @bodhisfattva7462

    you really need to look into using max armor light flame and recon units in your inf divisions even if it is just 1-2 armies worth and use that for your pushing and everyone else just holds the line...mostly unpierceable infantry means you dont near nearly as many units and the extra firepower helps to melt opposing infantry.
