Crushing the Allies in May 1936 - Hoi4 Germany Speedrun Commentary

- Hoi4 Germany speedrun guide on how to defeat the Allies as fast as possible in By Blood Alone / v1.12. I'm working on a longer video rn, so this is just a quick fix until it's ready.
This Hearts of Iron 4 campaign was played with all DLCs, on Ironman and historical. Technically there's a faster way by waiting for the UKs guarantee on Yugo before declaring, but you'd have to secure a port in Britain and defeat France with a single naval invasion wave of 10 divisions. Doable, but requires a lot of luck and grinding.
Why is Mr Mustache censored? - This is the German version of Hoi4 and it comes like that. And as you know I play without mods.

i rush germany and poland as ussr at mid-late 1937 and this man defeats the allies without paratroopers at mid 1936
I tried to do this and Germany eventually knocks out my airforce and my units bog down. Any advice you can give on units and production?

General in WWII: "my Blitzkrieg is so fast, it will be done in a couple of years!"
Speedrunner: "too slow" 🤭
“We’ll be home by Christmas!”
“Too slow”
@@flakcannonhans6170”How about June?”
@@accountusername7900 "We'll be done by 2, just in time for lunch."
A little reminder, the speedrunner know the weak and strength of allies and axis
But its very impressive what this man did
m3an would walk into a job interview and end the interview by informing the interviewer that he has been let go as his services are no longer needed.
When you learn more in a 12 minute speed run video than you did watching 50+ hours of tommyk
Heresy. Tommy K is the alpha and the omega ;)
tommy k likes getting pegged
honestly true tho, bc he doesn't show the mechanics
For those who want to attempt this: You need to have the grindset! Please know that I mean it when I say that there's lots of RNG involved. It's probably the most luck-based run I've done so far. Yugostrat can fail, landing in France can fail, invasion against UK can be blocked. And reloading does NOT yield different outcomes, sometimes even makes it worse! If one of the steps goes wrong, you need to start from the beginning again. I'm more than happy to help with questions, but do not assume that this will work on your first attempt.
Some tips:
Scout ahead with submarines to see which ports are garrisoned. The divisions don't shuffle around that much and you can always change the targeted provinced with the 'edit order' button before launching the invasion. Just be careful to not accidentally delete the invasion order right before the war and losing all planning progress. (Thank you, Mariusz Wojcik!)
You can make it easier on yourself by targeting French ports specifically and have reinforcements ready in the Channel. You can achieve that by asking Italy for Mil Access and sending divisions to one of their ports. Time it so that they are in the Channel when your invasions make landfall. You than just have to reroute them to the captured port. And, just in case, saving and reloading does not change the outcome. The French divisions only have different positions if you restart from scratch.
You can circumvent RNG by aiming the first invasion against the UK and dealing with France in a different way, for example paras to take a French port after the UK has fallen. In order for that to work you need to wait a couple of hours after getting the war goal on Yugo to let the UK guarantee them.
to anyone who is trying this in elite difficulty: it's possible, but it will be slightly slower due to the reduced political power gain and production efficiency cap (i have tried this strat in elite, it works but like m3an mentions it is quite rng heavy)
THIS IS CRAZY :D I am 840H in hears of iron and dam i soooo bad still .... Well i been playing it On / off for kind of nearly 5 years BUT this video is NUTS :D i love it
Impressive work!
What run would you suggest for a new runner to try with less RNG?
Im having a problem wherein the uk joins the allies but doesnt join the war which makes it so that they get naval supremacy first and then joins the war, not giving me that small window of opportunity to invade them.
@@MistaFadora Might be that they finally fixed it. I'll look into it later today.
Array Spiking: because world tension value and associated data is stored as a list, one source country can create multiple entries in the world tension list, instead of overwriting previous value.
This is perhaps the most mathematically perfect play I've ever seen.
I just defeated the allies as Italy in January 1937 thinking I was fast and then I see this lol
As Italy, that’s impressive considering that you played the most goofy country ever
Your approach is exactly what was missing in all speedrun I ever watched. Great job.
Very pleasant watch, well produced video man, thoroughly enjoyed!
Thank you =)
that array spiking was really interesting! Great Video as always :D
Thank you! I hope it won't take too long until I can release my next video =)
I'm always highly entertained by your shenanigans.
This always motivates me to pick up HoI4 again. I very much hope that you can stay motivated as well
With the old version , I think the one before this , sweden was for some reason considered a major nation and I abused it and kept conquering more and more countries but I honestly didn't know you can make Belgium the leader of the allies . Imagine Luxembourg 😅
-Average nationalist dev behavior-
I made luxembourg the leader of the allies, one tile and I control a lot of new stuff
One of the best tutorial that i have heard!
Hey m3an! I hope that you will read my comment. I just wanted to say that I thank you beacuse you helped me a ton in this game and it is really fun to watch your videos. I hope that you keep up the good work and reach your goals in life! Have a great day mate!
Aww, that's so nice! I'm glad to read that I could help you get better at the game.
@@m3an hello, i am noob in this game i didnt understand half of the vid🤣🤣
Well played, I just got into the game and have thrown hundreds of hours into the game but always keep playing the same scenarios as the US thinking it will be different lol. I need to try stuff like this. Looks like so much fun.
Love the videos!!!
Great content. Keep it up😂😂
This is gonna be so useful thanks so much for the tips
In order to pump up faster the number of the army in the field or numeber of the spam spam units you can convert infantry into panzer first and then back to the infrantry as panzer uses less inftantry equipment than cavalary. The draw back is bigger lost on experience. The spam deployed early can be as well converted immidietly into panzer and then back to the infantry. by doing so you can send more units to Ethopia and increase a bit word tension faster.
What an Insane run
Fantastic content!
Goddamn dude, you never disappoint
I respect u. I try to play this game because of you.
from my perspective this is insane
because i always struggle with allies and extremely rarely navaled the britains
this is mind breaking
i will defenetly try this
Great video! Do you plan on moving into more general hoi4 min-max guides, or are you planning on strictly sticking to speed-running? I would love to see some videos on optimal divisions, eco micro, and maybe nation guides as well!
I'd love to do so much more, but my time to strategize, record and edit is very limited due to family and work at the moment. I'll see what I can do!
Not a speed runner myself but learned a lot, thank you.
This is great, thank you
Довольно интересные видео! Респект за спидраны!
The Austrian Painter has been real quiet since this dropped
Ive done this so many times, every time a patch got rolled out I expected this to dissappear, I expect this video just sealed its fate lol
lol i just started actually playing this game and iv had it for a bit and im still learning like normal stuff. sea power invasions still confuse me and my mouse doesnt like drawing lines. this man just took over the damn world in like a lunch break.
Hey, i love your videos and voice so much. Keep uploading the content, and well done for this speedrun ❤
In my playthrough, france capitulated at the same day they joined the allies and didnt call britain to war then i had to manually justify afterwards lol. Thanks for the video
Very nice! Congratulations, well done!
This is fire bro
Blitzkrieg tactic damn never thought i could see it in real life
Wha i learnt today: to do naval invasion, pick 1 division per invasion so it takes less time then when you take over ship base send convoys to reinforce
bro could have been the funny mustache guy advisor
No Horses was seriously injured in makings of this video.
I tryed Trotzki the normal way and still unable to defend from Germany. So great job.
Thank you!
Bro defeating allies-
Transmission from the United States of America: USA joined Allies💀
i am actually speechless
rlly wish my laptop could run the game this fast
glad he’s on our side 😂
And that's what can be called a blitzkrieg
HE UPLOADED
Germany: War! jk, no war. War! jk, no war. War! jk, no-
USA: Is their telegrapher busted? Oh well, we have to take each one seriously.
Probably not the way Paradox ever imagined someone would beat the game.
Imagine this being an actual history.
May 1936... Damn.
I see what he is doing but i cant comprehend and understand what he is doing
very nice strat, can confirm it works but i did cap france too early so i had to justify on malaya
Speedrunner completing a world conquest by October be like
Speedrunner: Behold, the Nazi Oktoberfest Revolution!!!
i thought this said contacting the aliens in may 1936
me after returning back in time and showing this to ad0lf HltIer
Bruh, you made me cancel the naval invasion of France to early. 💀
Gotta wait for those ships to leave port and delete the order, not halt it 🚢⚓
@@m3an Yeah, I understood that later on. Thanks for the guys anyways, I'll probably try it some other time.
pov: blitzkrieg was really blitz
事實上, 電腦 的劇本只有跟著基本國策的時候會有基礎的戰鬥力
過早的戰鬥,基本上沒有國家"準備好"的,實際上大部分的國家連基本的軍隊都沒有
剩下就是裡用系統的漏洞 或是取巧的方式偷工直接"取得勝利"
Die wahre Definition von Blitzkrieg.
Danke für die detaillierte Erklärung, mach weiter so King 👑
If only the Furher knew about this
Yugoslavia: We won't join the Axis.
Nazi Germany: Well, how about if we change the name to 'the A-team'?
Yugoslavia: Sure, that would work.
Worked for me first run, just tried it today after not playing since 2022. People gotta git gud.
Glad this guy wasn't in charge in 1936
Maybe am i wrong or im out of luck ... but is it possible that the 70/30 chance for a war goal has been patched? out of 20 runs just 1 was the Derektiv 25 ....
To my knowledge it wasn't patched. Remember that the 70/30 is an average. But 20 runs and only successful once is indeed unluckly. I'll give it a go this evening.
All those Speed Runs are about cheesing the shit out of the game but paratroopers are somehow Off Limits.
The Hoi4 mad scientist returns
Very good, and interessing video! Can you make Soviet Union speedrun?
It's on my list!
@@m3an i dont see
@@tomi3544 Sorry for the misunderstanding. It's on my list of runs I want to cover. Haven't made a video on it yet.
I hate how they patched surprise naval invasions
Poor Kurt had to take out France while he had the flu, cant even get sick days as a general
game intrigues me but oh man shit its complex, i thought stellaris would blow my mind lol
You , made an Axis D Day
I'm wondering how long it will be before they put a minimum date on Anschluss. So many cheese it early this way.
You should try to speedrun taking over the balkans as Albania. (The smallest Balkan country) (Baltic States are optional)
Will you do austria hungary speedrun?
Impressionante. Muito difícil
Ele tá usando mod, é impossível fazer uma invasão naval no reino unido logo no início de jogo pois a marinha instantaneamente teleporta no mar em que as tropas iram passar e você não tem a superioridade naval pra enviar as tropas, resolvendo a questão da invasão naval dominar o mundo em 2 anos é fácil.
@@ninjagames3089 não, quando você acaba de declarar guerra tem mais ou menos um segundo onde a marinha inimiga não está atuando, mesma coisa quando um país acaba de entrar na guerra
@@theleader4620 eu já testei e não consegui invadir por meio naval sem botar a marinha pra brigar.
Edit: acho que tem que pôr na velocidade 1 com a marinha já pronta nos mares em que vão atuar ou em portos no mar em que vão atuar.
@@ninjagames3089 vc tem que ativar a invasão antes de declarar guerra
The accent adds to the realism.
Nice.
m3an at 3:19 :the previous method to go to war early as germany called "yugo strat" was patched a while ago...Or was it? (Vsauce theme starts playing)
Can you do an USSR speedrun? That would be awesome
He has one. It’s epic.
This is filthy as all hell
You missed Merica. So you didn't beat the allies.
I’m always pupping UK.
But is it still possible to use the Yugostrat to do the oppose hitler focus and get Victoria to make HRE?
Lol and I can't even win the game, much less this. Hot dang though, nice job.
ur good
Maybe there's a reason higher powers decided time travel isn't possible...
CROATIA be like: give me everything🔫 OR ELSE
You have been embargoed by Cuba
bro could have won world wars 1 and 2
Been playing for a year still haven't beaten the allies
Makes it all the more rewarding if you finally do =) Don't give up!
@@m3an I mean I did an exploit to win against the allies of that counts
please show sweden world conquest
As it should be
Bro is that guy 💀
Well i cant do it...there are always fechies at the beach or near the beach that interrupt the forces to walk into any city.
just like that 7:02 "Dinkirk Distraction" is needed at almost everywhere at the beach.
Took me plenty of attempts to succeed, but a concentration of forces always works better. You can spread the invasion across multiple provinces, but then you only have few divisions to push towards VPs. You can make it easier on yourself by targeting ports specifically and have reinforcements ready in the Channel. You can achieve that by asking Italy for Mil Access and sending divisions to one of their ports. Time it so that they are in the Channel when your invasions make landfall. You than just have to reroute them to the captured port. And, just in case, saving and reloading does not change the outcome. The French divisions only have different positions if you restart from scratch.
how?!?!? i litteraly take irl days to do even the simplest of things
UK always guards their coast with their navy + they have radars + intelligence, etc.
Impossible for me to get naval supremacy either on the east side of UK or in the Channel.
For the second invasion? Like I said, there's plenty of luck involved and you need to start from scratch, not reload, in order to reroll your odds. You can circumvent RNG by aiming the first invasion against the UK and dealing with France in a different way, for example paras to take a French port after the UK has fallen. In order for that to work you need to wait a couple of hours after getting the war goal on Yugo to let the UK guarantee them.
blitzkreigg
Please crush us hard
Hey m3an!I hope you read this comment.Can you try to speed run as a warlord in hoi4?
@m3an I've done this 3 times now and France always has units that surround my southern naval invasion/are on the coasts and just stop my naval invasions! please help this game has been frustrating the hell out of me lately.
There's plenty of RNG involved and as I've stated, the position of French divisions is what makes or breaks the run quite often. Try to concentrate motorized and some infantry at a single province with a port adjacent that you capture as well. And than speed towards VPs. But it's vital to also stage feint attacks or you'll get caught quickly.
Alternatively, wait until the UK guarantees Yugo as well, stage a naval invasion into the UK first instead of France and launch paratroopers into France after you've taken the UK. Much more reliable, but takes a bit longer because of the para research.
@@m3an thank you v much, but also if it seems like I might get caught on the way to V points, should I micro single units to stop the French from repositioning? (This question goes for all hoi4 play too I guess)!
@@MrSADFART It's very situational. Sometimes there's a wide gap which you can just rush through like in my example, but often you have to improvise on the spot, pin divisions that would otherwise block a unit of yours on its way to an important VP.
You can also send in more divisions once you've secured a port, ideally they're already close by otherwise it takes too long. You can achieve that by asking Italy for mil access and send divisions towards one of their ports. Time it so that the reinforcements are in the channel already when your divisions make landfall in France.
@@m3an wow I'm kinda shocked how helpful you've been, I'm new and u def earned my subscription!🤝
@@MrSADFART You're welcome and I'm glad to have you on board!
