So I Played "TALL" In Hearts Of Iron IV (It's Broken)
#hoi4 #heartsofironiv #paradoxinteractive
The Japanese fleet being teleported INTO the Black Sea yet not being able to get OUT is a fine example of Hoi4 Logic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They should be thankful it wasn't in Caspian Sea😂
@@TheArklyte Behold, the flagship of the Lake Ladoga fleet, the Yamato!
I'm assuming turkey let them in, but refuses to let them out because of their whole black sea thing
@@RovingTroll I doubt that game tracks position of trophy fleet before peace conference. Far more likely the game just chose "main" soviet base at random and teleported fleet there. And ISP was unlucky with a dice roll.
@@TheArklyte sure fuck Mechanics my headcannon works out
Day 227 demanding ISP to form Mongolian empire with generic focus tree and minimal mods
I admire the commitment, good work timmy. May the rat give you strength
the rat empire....
@@waffles_georg this comment genuinely made me laugh
E
This dude wants to see ISP lose his (probably already inexistence) sanity
Totally missed opportunity to play tall as either Chile or Norway
And Chile would even have been soon, if not next, in focus to z
Sweden is probably the best choice with all the focuses that make you into an arms dealer
Nepal, nepal
Chooses widest country Builds tall
I realize how much time I could spend being productive instead of watching someone else watching a map. Doesn’t mean I’m going to, I’m just saying I realize it.
true better to do this yourself
I believe in you. You can do better.
Hey! Self-awareness is a good trait to have! I also realize it too but...eh...lol
Do it like me, watch this in 1.5 speed and then go back to work (labour or physical/mental) after it's finished
Daily petition for ISP to do Artillery Only 3
E
Yes
suggestion: if youre gonna do it daily, structure the comments like "Day [blank] of asking isp to do artillery only 3". itll draw more attention that way over time uwu
@@Tea_N_Crumpets I'm gonna lose count if I try that
@@lacrimosa7073”DO IT DAD!”
You can actually play tall in HOI but only as specific countries that balkanize and then reannex themselfs through their focus tree like Yugoslavia and Ethiopia
1:19 ~sovet onion~ 😇😇😇
~germ reik~ 😈😈😈
Did this include COMECON, the way to make insane factory numbers from puppets?
Yes!
@@iSorrowproductions why was this reply so zesty
@@iSorrowproductions iZestyproductions
not taking any land made me think of an interesting way to play with the new peace system; Don't take or puppet anything. You can only liberate cores to their owners or change their governments, and any other decision that does not transfer ownership.
Give us the rat
Playing small countries and helping out is pretty fun sometimes, isn't it. Nobody plays democratic Portugal or Spain, for example, but I liked it personally, I gotta say
When I was still pretty new to HOI4 and found trying to play the bigger nations with several fronts, navy etc a bit too overwhelming I played (no DLC) fash Portugal and managed to see the Axis to a total victory by killing 5m+ Americans just with Naval bombers. Made me realise what you can do if you commit to a path!
Still new to Hearts of Iron IV, and yeah, don't like playing the giant nations or ones that have a lot to do, just like looking at fun situations, like Axis-Turkey.
Turns out I've been "playing HOI IV tall" this entire time and didn't even realize it. I just like civ greeding. Like, a lot.
If paradox didn’t want me to civ greed why does it feel so damn good?
Same, man, same.
Oh, also I heard "decentralizated" Yugoslavia (a lot of puppets) is also "tall", many factories
Tbh the game kind of has "tall build" for smaller nations that relies on maxing out special forces and pushing your faction tech as even as a small nation you're given a fair ceiling in terms of number of special forces battalions(sometimes higher then total amount of equipment and manpower then you can afford) and you have several research slots that can contribute a lot if you know how to juggle them, use licensed research, focus bonuses and joint faction research. For Allies that means a lot if all minors would know how to do that. And would be double so for China if all warlords concentrated on pumping out mountaineers and pushing joint artillery research😅
Netherlands can also host an impressive number of factories once it's fully juiced
@@allisongretsinger322 I've meant primarily countries like New Zealand, who has the second highest number of research slots in the game and who can juggle whole 3 priority research if needed, but who can't support normal army as manpower and industry are barely enough to replace marine losses.
6:12 Isp didnt notice that germany had an wargoal *on lithuania* , which went aways when he annexed it Also germany got that wargoal because lithuania probably refused to give memel.
Thanks I needed an isp upload rn ❤
I can’t believe isp forgot March modness

WHERE IS RAT?
Check the mirror
Ooooooh
This was a good video!
He will do anything to not play stellaris lol
Me too at this point. They keep making the game worse
I mean. Fair.
You missed it. Going tall as the soviet union is actually a thing, where you can get every territory west of the urals up to 25 building slots, by getting in a war, and moving your industry to the urals over and over again.
Another ISP video 😮 love it 😊
Those air quotes are doing some heavy lifting.
I demand that iSP play total war again within the next month
PRODUCTIVE FORCES PRODUCTIVE FORCES
Spectacular
Day 3352 waiting for isp to play jacobite kingdom of America in kaiserredux
i do something similar with monarchist britain when i want a chill game. churn out strat bombers, heavy fighters and build a massive fleet. Have to max out infra and syn fuel in britain. blockade the world and let bomber harris loose.
Bro did a One State playthrough in vanilla hoi4
Welp it that time of year again where people start asking for Artillery only!
"Tall" those quotation marks are working overtime. The USSR is the definition of a wide country. If you want tall a Luxembourg that doesn't expand is the most tall, but other countries like Switzerland and Denmark. Denmark builds so much on those small islands.
problem is most hoi4 nations cant be tall as you cant expand , you cant build more factories then limit and you cant expand that limit aside from exeptions and few nations very few countries have focus trees who could be considered building tall , most of them are not that fun and very time consuming ,
Tall would be puppeting the world as Luxembourg one at a time
That's a beauty!
gem thumbnail
Leet thumbnail ISP, nice redditing, well done sir.
I always love using instant construction, building up every nation in the world to max factories and infrastructure, and seeing what happens
ISP making a whole video about something I solve in 1936 every game using the console lol
Doesn't everyone end up with a fully filled country everytime they play the US.
I believe tall in HoI4 is called being a swedish arms dealer
I've actually gone tall as Brasil before the dlc, and it took soo long that by the time I became competitive, all the fronts looked like 20-30 divs stacked per tile lol
12:53 unless poland goes ahead and destroys us. Meanwhile poland doing the "Dismantle the soviet empire" focus
Navy only Tannu Tuva when
iSP puts his shoes on before his socks
“Playing small countries… like Canada” My guy called Canada small xD
4:37 accurate statement to this day technically
is the 1337 in the thumbnail a reference to all the EU5 hype?
It's probs leetspeak
Task failed successfully. ISP was trying to play tall, but instead just did a vassal swarm.
He had 5 vassals and annexed all except for one
Lenin and Marx seeing this video: FINALLY! Someone got what it means to seize the means of production!
Deep into this video and not a SINGLE MENTION of having 69 dockyards yet. Smh
Alex the Rambler can accomplish all this in 1936 just by typing 2 letters.
A man on a mission to do the longest world conquest ever
Another nation that would be good to go tall as would be any of the Baltic nations. Since they all have ridiculously overpowered industry trees that give tons of factories, you could rush all of your industry focuses, wait for them to do theirs, and unite the Baltics thus gaining a ridiculous amount of factories for how small the baltics are
"There the Frenchman has exited my throat" -ISP 4/11/2024 experts call it quote of the month
You've seen Wide Putin. Now get ready for Tall Stalin
That's a right purdy Soviet Bluenion ya got there.
May I suggest adding roads to your resource tiles first so you get an export boost that helps with your construction efforts :)
the AI actually did the Dragon Swallowed the Sun achievement. incredible.
To be honest it is quite normal to me, while playing a major, that I end up with up 2k factories by the end of the war. Basically you can win every war, by digging, not moving for like 5 years, and wait for the enemy to wear of their manpower on your entrenched troops. Also his start as Soviet Union is not optimal. He should start with converting mils to civs and then building infrastructure up to the moment he goes to war economy.
My man performed a Scientific Victory in HoI4. Masterful.
Did you do region-wide industrial integration in every state? If not, you have to go back and build even taller.

Only real OGs remember the table mod.
I am an actual OG, as far as the n-word Albania Mod. The hell was the Table Mod?
That's vic 3 minor nation gameplay right there
Dude what is your division template? I'm wondering how you always win since i always loose against the AI
How about playing tall in Kaiserreich? There is endless civil wars/minor conflicts to send volunteers and you can sell weapons to so many people! Scandinavia seems like a great choice for this, they cant join any factions if you go Scandinavia anyways (it creates a "nordic council" faction that no one can join besides the nations you will peacefully annex).
"Today I shall play tall in Hearts of Iron 4" *Chooses widest nation in the game
What may it take to make a man play some Bhutan world conquest.Honestly?
One recommendation I have to making the focus2Z challenge more "interesting" is that you play on elite difficulty. Because you know we like to see you suffer
Now build level 10 forts on every tile on the map
next time play prison architect in hoi4 pls
how
@@leleloy360idk
The amount of factories in the thumbnail is literraly the eu5 start date
The Nordic cooperation alliance is giving me PTSD from my own Argentina achievement run where I had to fight that same faction but with Denmark, France, USA, Germany, Brazil, Japan and a mostly reunited China. That game had a 13 year war in it ending in 1960
Bruh
This feels like a Drew Durnil video
Did you ever do the focus "Transformation of Nature" for an extra building slot everywhere tho?
I see isp has resorted to playing millinium dawn
really cool
You forgot to build lv10 port everywhere (in sovietU first then in all your allies) to make sure your ships have the choice to go wherever they want to😂 (to repair or to be bombed while repairing)
I saw Pennsylvania ended up part of the Soviet Union. I am now imagining a statue of Stalin standing in the middle of the fountain at Point State Park in Pittsburgh.
Petition for ISP to play Suzerain
Where's the Rat, ISP? THE RAT WILL BE MINE!!!
I dont think you can play tall if you immediately go for the nation that is larger than asia and europe combined
New dimension of greedy civ boi
He forgot about the decision that lets you trade 100 pp for 1 building slot and the focus that lets you trade 2.5% stability and war support for 1 building slot!
If you put supply hubs/ports in states which produce resources but don’t already have supply, you can increase your supply output by 20%
that intro 💀
I sure wonder what the post-game statistics screen looked like after this.
If you did the COMECON focus at the end of the five year plan, you would of had a lot more factories by the end from all your puppets
Day one of asking ISP to play Darkest Hour
imagine pressing the "emergency factory convertion" button after doing this
Building tall in the widest nation in the game 🤔🤔🤔
You forgot to make every state a level 10 fort, a max level coastal fort, max level rail and a supply hub
so its basically how USSR was supposed to work irl now that i think about it
ISP forgot to build in the Chuck E. Cheese peninsula
SUFFERING CHEESE MAN PLAYS TALL
so many weird wars in this game it looks like a kaiserreiech game.
