Today I'm testing an Ealry rush strategy for Japan that was suggested by a viewer. We'll be going after France and then become the Puppet Master.
Rules:
- Play as Japan
- Start with an attack on France
- Make puppets
- 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’d like to see a Bittersteel crossover with Taureor. The two “adults” of the hoi4 content creator community banding together to do something amazing.
What if they each play a tiny nation and try to grow beeeg. Could even use the sliders to buff the majors they would fight. Maybe even up the tension limit for guarantees to make up for two players generating.
I agree
Anybody know how old they are? Or does being an adult simply mean a more mature content?
Can't forget feedback too!
@@omeratasoy1850 I think bittetsteel is pretty young,they just make more mature content
Historians still document and study the intense battles in the Swiss Alps by Japanese troops coming from their satellite state in Occitania which they got by landing in Pas de Calais from Wilhelmshaven in Germany, splitting the French Empire into a billion countries.
HOI4 is such a crazy game
Amen mate
I can only imagine how confused the German population would be to see all these Japanese troops just kinda hanging around
“Hans these guys don’t look like Aryans to me”
@@sto1238 not nazi's but azns
😂
@@sto1238 mustache man considered the Japanese Aryan-adjacent. Just like Croatians. It’s almost like his race ideology was purely political and not based in anything real
@@BartkovSmirnovsky so true!!!
Taureor, "How am I doing?". He looks at a bunch of red bubbles. "Well enough"
It is well enough because tareor does not care to micromanage or use good units,plus he is rushing and just needs lots of divisions.Not shaming tareor though because this is also a valid way to play.
I am an elected member of my hometown's city council in my hometown in Norway, and I LOVE the political part of the game.
I love politics so much that I paid a Norwegian modder to make me Prime Minister of Norway, so that I can play myself in 1936
This is the best 5 € I have ever spent!
You're not getting some super villain vibes because of this... right!?
He charged you 5€, that's a lot, I would have done it for 1
Hvilken mod er det?
@@gam08e85 He said that he didn't want any money, but since I am polite I paid some bucks
@@x3cion I'm a democratic leader (not fascist or communist), so no :)
This video is like the best sleep aid ever. I don't mean this in a bad way. It is totally interesting to watch but the calm and somewhat monotonous voice is soothing. If it only wasn't for the loud adds...
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that! Taureor's calm style is really soothing, kinda like Bob Ross
Love puppet only style gameplay, and especially with a new longest episode!
Simultaneously being at war with Turkey, Latvia, Yemen and Afghanistan sounds very weird when taken out of context.
"Supply is not good" 4 min later "I know I'm staking to much units here, but is does not really matter". Oh boy, it matters alot :)
love your videos!
Watching Taureor's naval invasions always raises my blood pressure
Just taking a moment to appreciate that your new longest video only stretches from the first start date to the second start date and you accomplished all of this essentially before ww2 ever began
Honey, come here, 2 hours of my favourite ASMR have just dropped!
Who am I kidding, I've got 1.4k hours in HOI4, so I've got no GF.
The ASMR is still wonderful though!
I've got GF, but have no time to play HOI4
Just try to fill my pain, do u even wanna live like that?
And do I want to?😅😅
@@mr.pollak9186 I don't really have an alternative, given how autistic I am, so One King Two Crowns it is for me.
As for you, eh, it's your life. HOI4 isn't some gacha game or LoL, you won't just magically get addicted to it overnight. Just give it a go and see for yourself if this game's for you.
@@AccelEng 1.4k hours? Pathetic, I have 7k hours

@@RICKY_DICKY_GRIMES Technically it's 6,989 hours but I round up
Hey, love the video so far! Just heard your supply part and wanted to state (although you didn't seem to have too much of a problem) that: I usually ctrl click supply hubs where they fit and shift+ctrl click one central naval dockyard and shift+ctrl click railways, because if big or late game, all other buildings don't matter that much anymore and it's build faster as one thinks. Railways last, because they're cheap and more useful.
do you mean prioritizing cars for them, or building more hubs and railways?
@Taureor I would guess one mil for each train and trucks is enough with your style of playing. I'm actually impressed what you achieve by not specializing armies actually, nice one! I guess you spared out the worst parts for supply actually, which is south america and the soviets!
The way supply spreads out is easy to predict if you hover over an existing supply hub holding shift (and maybe switch through the option, because I think one of them increases range even). Using the "railway first" approach ensures supply hubs get perfectly supplied "eventually". I'd say if you ever have problems with supply, two things are important and two are secondary:
1. The field marshal or general supply option should be enough and avoids wasting precious trucks / trains (You did that one as far as I saw, just for reference)
2. Hubs where necessary, railways where your advance is not connected yet (naval dockyards are just land-entry hubs,)
Secondaries:
1. Block allies from supply if supply is an issue and you call in your 1 googol vassals
2. Air supply is nerfed but still, with like 5 mils on air transport, you can probably cover many regions without even connecting supply (assignable to armies)
Which brings me to one thing I think you'd enjoy and avoided as far as I saw: Assign airwings to armies. Yes, that might not be the perfect approach, but it's 0 maintenance. Combine that with increasing the assigned airwing size (split up say 60 into as many wings as you have armies, then tell every wing to go to 200 and then assign them to the armies) and you'll manage way less air stuff!
@@Taureor I love how you just extend your longest video by 22 seconds the best thing I have ever seen.
What about an optimized puppetmaster run? One where you use optimized puppets (max size with their own cores) instead of maximized number of puppets? (So no breaking up France and UK's core territories, but releasing things like Egypt et al with large numbers of their own cores.)
Yes, I hate the bordergore that the master puppets run create, I like clean puppets borders.
I used the transfer tool for this reason.
Absolutely loving these long videos dont be afraid to put a few more ads we love supporting you! Would love more fascist gameplay!
In almost any other context this comment would've been very questionable
sus
@@AvengeLaika you have such a way with words
16:27 made me so happy because I love puppeting like this in my games
2 hours of Taureor, Christmas in July is a real thing!
Try like a mix of these for those who love good maps, like some puppets where it would make sense such as France but annex Brittany for the strategic value? Or annex the coast of China but puppet the rest? Annex all islands as Japan does? I don’t know, just a thought
If you think I'm not watching every second of this you're wrong
Now I do not have a single clue about what's going on in this game but the video was still very entertaining to listen to, excellent job!
Great video as always! I'd be really interested in countries history ✨😎‼
@Taureor I think there is a bug when puppeting nations that share a core in a province (in video Kurdistan/Syria in Deir-Az-Zur or in Yugoslavia). You cannot puppet them both in the peace deal, if you do, the latter nation will bug out and cannot be puppeted, only annexed or liberated. Unless it is the main nation (France in video) like you did in metropolitan France. Annexing and later releasing works though.
I don't have time to watch this taureor but it looks fun, the 40 mins videos were ideal in my opinion ✌️❤
POV: Japan enters Germany
Hans: You are not German why are you here Japanese soldier
Tokoshida: we are here to do what you guys failed to do in the Great War
Hans: NEIN NEIN NEIN
You should do Spain reclaiming it’s whole empire!
Yo have you ever thought about doing multiplayer at all? Or is single player just more your style?
He has one or two multi-player videos
There's a really good multiplayer of him and some other good youtube HoI4 players versus a team of the HoI4 developers, check it out.
I just played japan, and had the same "problem" that the UK and France guaruanteed no one.
Great video as always
I absolutely loved this video. 10/10 for sure.
Sir, our ships are taking on too much water, our guns are basically useless because how broken they are and our rudder will not turn
Taureor: SHUT UP I SAID DONT REPAIR
NICE. Looks like it will be good
As a Brit living in Japan, that tea joke had me in stitches!
28:45 I believe Macedonia should be pronounced with the S sound. It is derived from Koine Greek, not Latin. Generally words derived from that language are pronounced with the S sound in English.
Since you kept Grand Battleplan you should take Tip of the Spear for +10 more naval invasion capacity, it's a game changer for the doctrine before 1940.
Challenge Idea. Strong China
- Play Japan
- Unify China through console commands
- Give China 2 million guns through console commands
Objective : Capitulate China without using Collaboration Governments
Difficulty : Very hard
Personal notes : Forget naval invasion. 12 divisions per tile without ports & 20 per tile with ports. Although doable, too risky for Japan's limited resources.
@@thegreatestdane8978 Yeah you'd think would attrition themselves down. And they kinda do. But not enough to let you land an invasion force or push.
You can eventually push on. But for the first few months you're just trying to not be pushed of the continent while getting enough artillery to making a unit strong enough to push in the north. Then once you've expanded in the north their lines get less stacked. Which helps because less units per tiles, but they have better stats because less attrition.
The Dutch watching thousands of Japanese muster in Wilhelmshaven: The f*ck the doin over there?
You can do the stuff in the balcans much easier. You can get at least yuogoslavia just like you get the dominions in a pease deal with the UK. Just have some armies ready for when you take them so Romania doesn't make you loose everything. Plus, either the Czechs or Romania will be faction leader and thus a major, meaning even after the UK falls you are at war w a major and get fast wargoals
Use the tip of the spear army spirit in grand battleplan to give more naval invasion capacity
Dont have to join the axis to do this. If you go non-allighned you can get enough naval access to go all the way from japan to france. I also got miltary access from italy just before go non-allighned so army is right there after naval invasion lands.
I’m sorry, but I gotta:
_Master of puppets, I’m pulling your strings,_
_Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams,_
_Blinded by me, you can’t see a thing,_
_Just call my name, ‘cause I’ll hear you scream…_
*MASTER! MASTER!*
Simply simply lovely video
I've seen this call to arms bug too! It was frustrating.
79:19:01 i love when hirihito said it’s puppeting time and puppets all over them
13:21 the supply is almost as horrible as with the russians near Kyiv
Topical
i have a question: can you do a tutorial on how to win every war?
Imagine what the uk is thinking seeing the whole Japanese navy dock in germany along with the Japanese army
LESSGOO TAUREOR MARATHON
Form the most possible core in game (that isnt anarchist spain)
Use game pre-sets
Try multiplayer even
The max imperial federation.
@@messydeskproductions4159 unified china I think. Over half a billion people on cored territory.
Japan is an island by the sea filled with volcanoes and it's *BEAUTIFUL~*
In the year negative a billion...
Japan might not have been here
In the year -40000 it was!
Yessir, this is some good content.
Suggestion: Create Lichtenstein and conquer Germany, France, the USSR, Italy and the UK.
EDIT: Yeah, I take it back, it is pretty much impossible even with mods.
To clarify I have no clue if you can, I just know I wanna see it.
There's no Lichtenstein in the base game but some mods like Millennium Dawn probably has it.
If you like Diplomacy etc more than combat, why don't you play EU4 or CK3? Or even Victoria 3 when it comes out?
I have a challange for you: can u play yugoslavia release everybody and play as Serbia? Then conquer the world or something like that
Nice video,tbh after invading France The game was very ez
would be nice to see challenge run as el salvador conquering usa without any puppets or manpower draining shenanigans (or order 66). You can form the central american republic (or whatever its called), but cant join any factions.
Japan in 1939 when played by:
- me: "Should I end grinding generals in China and conquer them already?"
- Taureor: "I basically conquered the world, but I have to weak PC to finish some inconsequential nations"
:v
If the politics of the game is your favorite side you should do some Kaiserreich. The story and your political choices are the selling point of the mod.
Taureor saying god damnit will never get old
Your massive fleet moved on zero fuel somehow.
What are those pause symbols on some of the alerts? I’ve seen them in many videos and I just can’t figure out what those are.
Tutorial I think, something opens up if I click them by accident by I never bothered to turn them off
Hello. Could you please do a Michael I run with Romania and conquer everyone? I know you like playing Romania. I love your Hearts of Iron videos. They are very well made.
Nice! loved it!
you havent even watched all of it yet it didnt even come out 2 hours ago
When I saw the video cover I thought to myself, are you shadow puppeting again? lol.
Cornwall and Isle of Mann should really be releasable.
But in this case, Wales is the rightful controller of them both. Not England.
**Angry Celtic noises**
I love play HOI4 with Japan S2 S2 S2, thank!
Podbicie całej mapy jest łatwe dla twojego państwa. Ale jest wyzwanie a jest nim próba twojej woli żeby wytrzymać grę która działa w ten sposób.
Oh i forgot to eng...
There is no challenge for your country. But is challenge for you to stand game running this way.
Damn!, 2 Hours straight!!!
This video is an amazing demonstration of how Cursed HOI4 diplomacy is, lol 🤣
Japan: Randomly invades France, the UK's largest ally, and takes its whole Empire
Chamberlain: Appeasement++
Japan: Conqueres most of the Mediterranean including Greece and all the Yugoslav territories Italy Wants
Mussolini: This ic chill. In fact, I wanted an ANIME Roman Empire all along
Japan: Conqueres Austria, the Sudetenland, Poland, and basically every other piece of Europe with German populations or minorities... then refuses to let any of them go to Germany
Hitler: Yes... this... this is 100% part of the plan. In fact the Japanese are actually the most ancient of Aryans...
Japan: Annexes Bessarabia and releases puppet governments claiming to represent Ukraine and Belarus respectively, despite those both being SSRs.
Stalin: Absolutely nothing to see here... no imperialist threat at all. In fact, Autocratic Emperors like Hirohito are what Communism has always been meant to promote. I'm not contradicting the dialectic at all... if you think I am you're a trotskyite and can go to gulag.
Japan: Conqueres Canada and violates the Monroe Docterine.
USA: Love how progressive this is bro... a North American nation ruled by Asians? Such a historic step. We love our multipolar hemisphere!
Entire world being picked off one by one: This is fine, Couldn't ever be me 🤡
Alternate History Hub literally released a video about Japan. Talk about coincidence.
wow! new longest video ever: japan puppet master.
The politics of the game is the best part. Deciding what to do having cool events combat is just staring at a screen.
Now that’s 2 hours that I will never get back lol
i love doing this with japan! i prefer to take out britian and then take out france
since you enjoy the political part of hoi4 so much, have you tried out a more diplomacy centered paradox game like crusader kings?
no, the anschluss focus *will* bypass if austria is a subject
"we question Tibetan sovereignty" *China intensifies*
Puppet only, new with extreme amount of lag
I can't join the axis as Japan. They must have changed it to stop this kind of exploit...bummer seemed like jt would have been fun to try it
Germany the female dog of japan sounds great
Also making this much puppets seems like SI lead conferences simulator
7:20 I personally prefer the diplomatic/political aspect more too
Ok so what the hell are the green lower right corners on this man's icons I have 1300 hours in this game and no clue what that is
Bro you are true stalin in hoi😂 producing only guns and throwing bodyes to enemy not giveing f about losses
After hearing you enjoy the political side of hoi, would you ever upload a Victoria video? Would be fun to see you do something in another pdx game
I plan to do so when it comes out
Luxembourg: City of the World’s Desire…🤣🤣🤣
Taureor when fighting britian you don’t have to attack British raj and British Malaya becuase they aren’t dominions so they will automatically be in the peace Conference
Can you play as Bulgaria in the near future
Please can you do the holy Roman empire now? Much harder
Hello! NICE channel! amazing video. I'm your fan ＋👍🔔
2 godziny? OK, idę po piwo i przekąski i startujemy
All I understood was "piwo" so I agree.
@@allenbackbone cheers
I used console to overrun USA as Mexico immediately in 36. I made sure to not join Japan until after I beat USA. I purposely left USA alive with only its pacific islands, the canal, and New England; I satellited Puerto Rico for later and left the USA democratic.
The USA bugged out and did not take a focus for the rest of the game and never joined the Allies.
7:00 Do you play alot of multiplayer theirs alot more politics in that
You can build in Austria until you can annex them.
You should restore the Umayyad Caliphate as Algeria
Play the road to 56 Mongolian’s new focus tree!
Puppet the mediteranian and the brittish empire as Malta
I remember the 1936 invasion of France by Japan
the borders!!!!! my eyes!!!!!!!
Hey, Taureor. I have a challenge for you. Can you play as Liberia and annex all of Africa?
If you like the political elements of map gaming; play EU4 you’d be in your element
1940 invasion tech is stupid. It's not like there was a need for bigger invasion forces before 1940, so the research in the game thinks such thing wasn't possible. Japan could have had 60 divisions naval invasion on China if they had taken them seriously at first.
