Who Has the BEST Commonwealth Monarch? - Hoi4

- Today in Hearts of Iron 4 Poland and Lithuania are going to head-to-head to determine which Monarch is best placed to reunite the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and bring it into a new era.
On one side we have Poland with Friedrich Christian, with the support of the Regency Council he is well positioned with his focus tree to do the job. But on the other side we have Mindaugas III who is ready to elevate Lithuania well above the former Duchy.
But in the end, only one can stand above the other. If they are even able to do so.

And now back to versus, did I plan to do two Monarchist ones back to back? No. It just turned out that way. But I did plan to do this last week as this came second in it's poll. But in experimenting with Shanxi I decided that was what I wanted to do next instead. Nevertheless here it is now.
Lithuania is the superior commonwealth monarch. He wears a funny hat!
You're making me choose between the man with the biggest drip with a fantastic hat vs The Bear with a crown. An impossible task
I think access to Miedzemore makes Polish tree superior.
Im sorry ive played the game for about a month and dont know Miedzemore, what do they do?
@@theoldhermit2601 it makes you able to invite people to your faction with nation focuses. Its only in Polish focus tree.
Relying on the Hoi4 AI to do my fighting for me? No thanks, I'd rather spend those 70 day focuses on something more useful. Realistically you aren't going to get any useful allies from Miedzymorze anyways, the best option is ITALY and even if you beat Germany to the invitation they'll almost always say no (unless you go facist, which falls outside the scope of this video). So you get what...Romania? Finland? Meh. Better to invade and puppet them if you want AI """support""", that way you at least get some industry out of it.
@@Kandall05161 its not about fighting. Its about germany not putting %100 of it's army thus me ale to encirlcle them with pushes.
With regards to Lithuania, one useful strat is to do claim Livonia before reuniting the commonwealth. You can get up to war economy and extensive conscription while using puppet Poland as a beat stick against Latvia.
Both trees are fun for a chill defensive game.
lithuanian path is better cuz
1) no war with germany -> easily focus on soviets and after that on germans
2) estonian cores
3) overall country buffs from the tree
but no Zaolzie!
You can always concede to Germany until you beat the soviets. Danzig is not a world-ending loss.
@@highadmiralbittenfield9689 that's why its better, you dont even concede danzig!
But don‘t you have to concede memel?
@@gatzimitk u gotta do as both poland and lithuania but if u get lithuania puppet and germany demands memel, ur puppet will decline it and you'll get surprise war earlier than 39
Sometimes when you do commonwealth as Lithuania (especially in non-historical games), Poland has their own king, and you can't do the commonwealth path
Cool idea, hope you make more videos like this
I wonder how it feels going unhistorical AI playing as Poland when Lithuania raises monarchy sentiment.
Also I like it how easy it is for Poland to go monarchy with no negative modifiers despite the country being extremely anti monarchist at the time... but I guess its hoi4 and hoi4 ppl obsess about monarchies 4 some reason
The last polish dynasty extinguished in 16th century
if you also go for the commonwealth both of you gain wargoals against eachother.
It's not like people were anti-monarchist. They were just indifferent and perhaps used to the republic which had been around for like 20 years already.
Poland has better focus tree for PLC , but Lithuanian King's Drip is 🤌🤌🤌
Maybe the best monarch was the friends we made along the way
As Lithuania You don't get Zaolzie -1000/10
You keep danzig
@@Costenyo Danzig (Gdańsk) can always be reconquested but You loose (potential) core on Zaolzie wich is a tragedy
In exchange you get all of Estonia which has a pretty sweet focus tree and can be built up nicely
@@aidenbooksmith2351 I know - that is the rational tought but emotions SCREAM Zaolzie. Also If I remember correctly back when NSB only just came out Poland could get Estonia cored with same focus as today Lithuania - Fun fact on old version no one plays nowadays
I like lithuanian one more because there is stronger paths for poland. but commonwealth is the most powerful lithuania and it feels good to grow from a little baltic nation to a superpower
Hey how come you don't make your videos in 1080p?
Please make Greater Greece vs Greater Italy
Anastasia (or Wojtek, if you can be bothered) is the best Commonwealth monarch. Wargoals on the same states as the others, with the opportunity to take Slovakia as well, and the ability to core Russia once you're close to beating them. Her final traits aren't bad either.
New video
Everyone knows the best Polish monarch is the bear.
Lithuania also has greater commonwealth with a bunch of extra cores
LIETUVA!!!! 🇱🇹
Lithuania is better. PP gain is better and also you get to core Estonia.
Lithuania has no Generals Tho
