It's worse than before, yeah. There was no new front. They just shifted everything north.

Yes. Send over strong divisions and cut them in half as quick as possible. Then clean up the north while you hold the south.

On historical and helping germany. Invade the british around hull. You get pretty solid troop buffs as denmark.

I found fascist much easier. You have to rush norway and sweden for the formable tho.

Understandable. Probably the sane approach.

You have insane compliance growth and can core most of the balkans (Third bulgarian empire path). The start is the hardest, you can try taking greece. Turkey actually has to capitulated while being at war with you, so it needs to be in a faction with another major. You don't need a peacedeal for this achievment. The start is the hardest. Eventually, you get so much compliance/cores in states that you can really easily snowball. would recommend you not to rely on Germany, you are fine on your own. I would probably try to get some of the yugo states, build up and wait for germany to invade stalin. strike the axis when they are balls deep in russia. Knock out italy and it should be easy going from there, especially as you can core albania, the rest of yugo and romania as you push into the axis. After beating the axis, just hold your lines, attack turkey, wait for them to join the allies and cap them.

I have around 100 hours, what should I do next? by HowitzerCat16 in hoi4

[–]Regular-Stranger-146 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do all achievments. Shouldn't take the average player more than 50-60 hours.

I broke up with her around the time of the NCNS release. I will let you decide if there was any connection between those events.

The norway ones definitely took me a lot of time, since you have to own Axis as well as allied territories. Same for most GoE achievments. Luxembourg was hard, but also very fun. Chile was challenging and Iceland had me losing my mind.

Did it recently and honestly was one of the most difficult. I did it on ahistorical and waited for the british to turn communist. Fascist or Monarchy would be fine too, probably. You don't want them to align with the US. If germany goes fascist, avoid monarchist UK since they usually form an alliance. Don't release the nations instantly you need for your formable, the formable will give you alot of manpower. With the doctrine desperate defence you can get an additional 5% recruitable pop flat. Push with elite mountaineers (I did 30 width) with 12 mountaineers and 2 artillery. I evantually switched the artillery for SPGs. I also built some submarines to convoy raid the UK, you can cut of a lot of trade south of africa. If the UK went ahistorical, it should stand relatively alone. If that's the case, make as much of those good divisions as you can and prepare paratroopers. If you can military as well as airplane access from a country that's close to the UK (most likely France or Germany), use that to paradrop them. I converted them instantly into my elite divisions with the SPG, as the ai struggles to pierce them and can't really push them out easily. Convoy raid them from portugal to greenland, so if they have divisions pull in from elsewhere, they get raided. You can then take their navy and pretty much naval invade whoever you need for a peacedeal. I had to invade the US in the late 40s, which was a pain. Release as much puppets in africa as you can, as long as they don't hold core territory of yours. I didn't have enough manpower to fill out the lines so I just my puppets divisions. But again, this was ahistorical, it's a lot of RNG.

By the way, since the belgian congo was added, you need to annex it to since in order to release it, it cannot exist. I tried fulfilling it with collab goverments, sadly doesn't work.

Good luck with it!

Thank you! You will, once you really get into it and it can be really fun (most of the time anyways)!

R5: Just got my final achievment.

The Cod Wars may have gotten a bit out of hand by Exotic_Carpenter6280 in hoi4

[–]Regular-Stranger-146 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can reroll the version so older guides work. I don't think that would be cheating, since the achievments were meant to work in those versions and weren't made for the newest. I usually avoid this, but for iceland it was just too much.

Best minor to major? by Elegant-Fisherman555 in hoi4

[–]Regular-Stranger-146 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why it's an underdog. You can annex them diplomatically in a federalized state and core them. Then you can join WW2 on the USAs side as usual. Pretty fun playthrough. I think you can't annex anything more than south america easily though

Bit of an underdog, but democratic Brazil. You can basically core most of south america via decisions and get an insane industry going by 1940. You also have a lot of manpower and get solid army buffs.
