Benito Mussolini actually has one of highest awards of Latvia. He holds the "Lāčplēša Ordenis" which was given to people who fought for Latvians Independence, weirdly enough Mussolini supported the idea of independent Latvia quite a bit and helped to get Latvia recognized worldwide.
@@henriquemachado9941 I am not very versed into ISP history, but my guess is that during the early ages of ISP, with his sense of humour, sarcasm, and many other points, attracted too many far righters into his community, which PDX didn't liked. I would like if someone added more elaborated history of his community, since I am only here for him suffering in HOI4, and feel nostalgic of his old humour back in 2017
I love that paradox cared so little about Italy before BBA that you can *LITERALLY LOSE YOUR ENTIRE FACTION AND FLIP IDEOLOGY* because of *another country's* focus tree. And saying no doesn't work.
@@Njuregen I went on to discover some 10+ years after mine fried away that I had a special edition, so now I'm just a bit upset that I can't play Sonic 2 Master System edition in a console
Paradox didn’t give ISP the DLC early, so he decided to take things to the next level! Also they added a new nation (a random sultanate client state next to Ethiopia) so… it’s HOI 4 A TO Z 2!
You should check out the "On the Clouds of Heaven - Rise of the Vatican" mod. Let's just say, the pope goes a wee bit crazy and you have the chance to either cleanse the world with heavenly light or hellish fire ;)
Back when decolonising Africa wrecked your cpu, the optimisation from the new patch is absolutely game changing, I’ve found myself unironically playing to 1948 a few times without wanting to die because of how much quicker the game runs now
I've done a Monarchist world before, set every major and minor to Monarchist where possible. That was pretty fun. ended up sending a lot of volunteers as Great Britain so the correct side of the civil wars etc won.
I think the best way to play non historical is to individually change the nations paths. Probably one of the more fun ways to change and play the game so it's not repetitive
Set everything to random, it's complete utter chaos. I have a category in HOI4 called "Fuck my shit up fam" where i selected every country to be 100% random with their decisions, this isn't the same as just removing historical focuses, this genuinely makes the AI just go ham and pick complete random stuff.
SEGA Master System for the win! I think the game I played most was Action Hero? you start as a bike going down the road shooting guys and collecting letters to get into the sega truck and turn into a car then a flying car.
4:24 i literally only know what alex kidd is because my brother had a sega handheld, 300 games in one for a while, and I played alex kidd on that either bc he got bored of it, or bc I snuck it when he wasn't looking. Good times.
I find Road to 56 set on random is the most.... stable but alt historical thing I've ever seen? Brazil often creates its own faction that ends up sniping countries in trouble before even Japan can, though.
Hey isorrow, if you go down ''battlefield support'' doctrine for planes, you can select ''dive bombing'' as the spirit of the airforce, which will give you -75% CAS design cost. I don't know how useful it will be when the new dlc comes out though.
Damn loved this vid one of the most fun in a while! Aww we could have experienced one more horrible peace conference before the overhaul. As an expert on playing in chaos mode here is what you are going to want to do. Get the chaos mod and put 4x war on. Get the expanded set up mod which will allow you to mess up the world even more. If you can find a world tension reduction mod to keep it all from hitting the fan in 36.
Worst campaign I had to deal with was playing as britain trying to form the imperial federation but I didn't realize I had historical focuses off. Decided to buckle down and used spies and lend lease to delay the dominions from leaving the commonwealth. Got extremely unlucky when Canada got an event during the focus to form the imperial federation that flipped them to fascism canceling the focus. Gave up on it and finally looked around the map to see a super axis had formed. They had the usual european players but they had a free reign in europe because both france and poland went communist and I was ignoring Europe. Russia, shogunate japan, and China all joined the axis because Qing China and france and poland joined the mutual assistance bloc lead by Mao. I decided to play it out and started fabricating on Germany but it got cut short when India had a civil war and the free Indians joined the axis drawing me in immediately. War went horrible and took forever because it was my first game on No Step Back and I was experimenting with a lot of different templates.
"not as cursed as i thought it might be" -US is split into 2 governments, one of those being the confederates -Kingdom of Italy -Warlords are in the Allies -Germany owns the UK -Italian Raj -Un-Balkinified Balkins -Emu Empire -Catholic Mexico...? etc.
the most cursed thing is to set the entire world to one ideology but then watch them all fight each other and not join one faction cuz of the war goals
Actually if I remember correctly than Mussolini survives the assassination. Or rather Paradox didn't think to replace him as the leader of the fascists so if you switch back Mussolini is somehow ressurected with no explanation given
I accept that I shall never learn your answer and opinion on the very undescriptive question that is "real or not?" and shall stop my self from ever asking the mentioned question. SIKE. real or not?
I put everyone on random with the Road to 56 mod on. Germany got defeated by the Low Countries, Scandinavia and Greece fell into constant warfare, China became a dictatorship and allied with Japan and the United States to take down the Soviets, and the Soviets were at war with the Allies, Axis, and the USA-Japan-China alliance. The United States also conquered Venezuela for some reason. Oh yeah, and Ethiopia successfully defeated Italy.
1. Have Italy form Rome on January 1st, 1936 2.Tag switch to someone else (UK, Soviets or America would be best I think) and try to beat them up after letting them build up for a while
To be fair, Italy is the best country to play non-historical. So you can actually go non-historical Italy.
Italy's one of my favourite countries to play 'historical but competent'
E
Non-historical Italy is making a difference in Africa, securing the Mediterranean, and actually helping break France early.
Every Italy game is non-historical if you don't get humiliated halfway through
P
Benito Mussolini actually has one of highest awards of Latvia. He holds the "Lāčplēša Ordenis" which was given to people who fought for Latvians Independence, weirdly enough Mussolini supported the idea of independent Latvia quite a bit and helped to get Latvia recognized worldwide.
He thought it was spelt latinvia and thought they were Romans
So you're saying this was basically an authentic historical game?
Leave it to the Baltics to have fascists as heroes
@@mixis1931 Not really considered a hero, usually the fact he has it is hidden away. He got the reward in 1920s before fascism wave.

I used to rent the thing as a little boy at the videostore with a few games for a week.

It was one of the games
@@i_barely_hee-know_her One of the games of all time, if you will.

We have Alex Kidd here as well (Australia) I played it when I was young
“I think most of the chaos is going to come from the balkans.”
So just like 90% of history.
Other hoi4 youtubers: new dlc video
ISP: *CHAOS*
Alt history idea: Denmark but don't surrender immediately.
They didn't, they surrendered after 6 hours
That's high fantasy already. Also Denmark isn't real

START WITH IMPERATOR ROME IN THIS YEAR'S MEGA CAMPAIGN
i love how australia turning into the emu empire went off everyone's radar
Man I remember Alex Kidd. Was like a fever dream, thought the opponent died when I won Rock Paper Scissors
6:16 isp really went for that aneurysm
The man said "Manchukuo campaign" and somehow I heard "Manchu Cocaine" which tbf explains that particular game.
Paradox didn’t give ISP the DLC early, so he decided to take things to the next level!
Also they added a new nation (a random sultanate client state next to Ethiopia) so… it’s HOI 4 A TO Z 2!
Its Aussa i think. Smh ISP must play it for A2Z to be completed!

The most cursed alt history path would logically be Artillery Only
I've done a Monarchist world before, set every major and minor to Monarchist where possible. That was pretty fun. ended up sending a lot of volunteers as Great Britain so the correct side of the civil wars etc won.
wheres timmy
Just why the hell did it take Paradox this long to make a decent focus tree for one of the major war participants?
You forgot italy was competent lol
I was legit confused when he didn't say "HOI4 A2Z". I forgot that that's over with XD
We need more of these chaos games isp!
Awesome video! Love to see these kind of wacky games!

I always play with historical ai off. it makes the game a lot more fun.
congratulations, ISP. according to Google Trends, you have spiked the number of people searching for 'Alex Kidd' from 0 to 1.

11:19 you see that ISP had both forgotten what he picked for USA and had also forgot to look over there in awhile.
"not as cursed as i thought it might be"
-US is split into 2 governments, one of those being the confederates
-Kingdom of Italy
-Warlords are in the Allies
-Germany owns the UK
-Italian Raj
-Un-Balkinified Balkins
-Emu Empire
-Catholic Mexico...?
etc.
Somehow Italy is THE world's superpower and Ethiopia still exists???

He really got me. I thought he was gonna do a Ukraine game
I think if you took out turkey, you could have restored Rome (idk if Spain has to be a puppet or just in your faction to accept annexation)
My personal favorite scenario is Monarchist Germany become allieswith a Great Britain that as empowered the King's Party.

I always use custom game rules to set Spain to anarchist, so that one day they might actually win
Hmm yes lore of every alt-historical hoi4 runs ever
Anarchist Spain is pretty cursed imo. Makes the whole game shit itself
2:21 You didn't need to change anything for that
This looks way more fun than base HOI4. Can you set everyone to random?
Yes, you just have to disable historical ai at the start of the game, is really that easy
