I wish people would stop promoting Established Titles. It's a scam. I know it looks real, but multiple people have looked into it. The company is based in Hong Kong. The government in Scotland does not recognize the legitimacy of these titles.

Bitt3rSteel video be like: Act 1: "This is gonna be really difficult / This is gonna be easy, so I'll set challenge X for myself" Act 2: "Thank you to todays sponsor X" Act 3: "I know, I shouldn't build these ships" Act 4: "As for country X, take all of it" Act 5: "OMG what happened? I messed up guys..." Act 6: * Game does something stupid * "I'm so annoyed right now" Act 7: "Look at these encirclements" Act 8: "We are now strong enough to take on anyone in our path / We rule the world now"

Established Titles is a Hong Kong based company that doesn't actually own any land in Scotland. It isn't a gag gift, it's actually a scam.

Cloaks meta is mostly meant for MP. He mentions another thing though, CVs are back build them and go for the biggest deck possible.

Germany should do this, monopolize the beer market

A side note: if you start justifying on Ireland, begin the Civil War and then declare on Ireland, they will actually join the Axis, so when you win the war, you can actually annex them without bothering with an invasion in the first place. Just a neat thing I've noticed when going for this achievement; maybe it'll help someone else out there as well. (Oh, and the video itself is pretty fun ^^)

Bittersteel: Bulgaria... what are you doing!? Bulgaria: Just solving the Transylvanian dispute.

This looks really nice! Btw, if in the peace deal with the Allies you can get the British or French colonies in the Caribbean, you can probably also get the "Our Other Place in the Sun" achievement

This game is a perfect example of why the player led peace conference exists

The naval meta is Carrier my friend. 71cloack made a video on the cheapest way possible to beat the UK fleet, try that.

when sending lend lease, just click the little warehouse button next to number input to send all :D

Through beer alone we will rule!

a) Titles in the UK are granted to the owner of the entire estate not some subset of the estate and b) Land sales beneath a certain size aren't recognised by the planning department

Idk why but The german civilwar for me is surprisingly hard. Never managed to ever hold southern Germany (despite having same amounts of units), and I really couldn't progress much in north either. No matter I battleplanned or micro'd it just wont work for me. Had to keep all units and fight a long micro war to win

I love how his plan involves going around and beating up all the old allies.

I believe i cheesed so hard this one, I puppeted ireland in 1936, rushed fate of czechoslovakia, dismantled axis and joined japan faction

Not gonna say it is the META but when i was trying to build ships ive always built the Super heavy battleship with best batteries and best radar i have. I manage to build just one or two until the beginning of the war as Germany but you know, quality over quantity and i put my submarines on convoy raiding in English channel with always engage as well as my ships in strike force. And when the engagement starts at the end my ships managed to sink half of the royal navy just by the super heavy battleship. You should try it.

You lost due to Carriers being verry strong, carrier bombers get a massive dmg bonus and is worth using now sinds it has been fixed after a long time of being broken and not working properly

I think the meta for medium tanks is and improved medium cannon, which you get the from fourth at research. 3 man turrent best radio 3 light machine guns 9 speed and and the basic medium tank chassis. It costs like 11.52 ic or something like that

So I did some research on which is more optimal: tanks early or improving the industry. Important to note that before NSB treaty with the USSR gave Germany a 2.0 year ahead of time penalty reduction on 1940 medium tanks. Now it only gives a 100% research booster. So by going the route you did and rushing tanks you can start researching the mediums and it would take about 530 days (with designer). However if you go for 4 year plan -> Autarky -> both of the civ focuses -> Army innovations -> by the time you finish treaty with the USSR it would take 469 days to research the mediums (with designer). If you spend 140 days doing the civ focuses it would only take 79 days longer to research the tanks due to the ahead of time penalty. Going for civs is at least in my books better because with the tank path you're losing 12 civs worth of industry for 140 days (army innovations + treaty with USSR) but you're not getting the tanks that much earlier.

Regarding naval meta: Just spam early cruiser hulls or '36 cruisers with armor 3, and max light attack (and AA). Make sure to put them on always engage and you are golden. Done by EfficientStrategyGaming, and seems to work reasonably well. Or just spam Carriers, they are OP again.

Ahh yes the Pax Germania fuelled entirely desire of Wehrmacht Officers to monopolize the Beer market Truly a great chapter in our history books

Not going to lie this achievement was the easiest among the BBA achievements. Play Hist attack and puppet ireland, do sudetenland and then join Japan. Wow

I don’t think I’ve ever seen bittersteel be so upset over a Hoi4 game as when his navy was destroyed lmao

Regarding the navy: You should put your navy on high risk/always engage. Your ships are disengaging way to early (nearly always the moment the battle begins), because you are at medium risk and the UK fleet is much larger than yours.

27:30 anybody else notice the Italian camel divisions in snowy Poland? 😂🥶🐫

I love how the navy being built is always a running gag. It is very fitting because I tend to forget to use my navy.

There is actually a bug with justification now where you do not need positive pp to continue justifying. It will throw the alert to warn you that it is not progressing but when you look at the timer it is progressing.

2:31 bitt3rsteal lol

Sounds like you needed a beer alone. Pun implied.

Bittersteel you're better than promoting a scam for money. At least I hope you really are.

I love your guides, very informative. I discovered your channel a few months ago and it literally helped me learn how to play. Thanks and keep up the great work!

"every excuse to play Germany is an excellent excuse" never heard anyone say something more true

Established Titles is a scam.

Established titles is a scam!

Man this game was full of sidequests for our man to do.

Heavy Cruiser is only meta if your fleet is saturated with carriers(4 is the practical maximum) because adding more carriers does not add more naval damage potential wheras adding more of any other ship does(they are not softcapped) If you have no carriers, it's in vain; enemy carriers can just rape your heavy cruisers anyways. Build carriers

I like how you basically conquered the entire world in a video about an easy achievement

I think the issue with your navy was just air, you need more planes up for the carriers and RAF. It worked out fine though

0:40 When the treaty of Versailles makes germany want vengeance without invading half of europe

The part with Bulgaria make me laugh

I'd wager that your ships were primarily sunk by the enemy's aircraft. 71Cloak's guide is great but I'd always add AA and upgrade the secondaries to dual-purpose whenever you can. I'm also not convinced about the wisdom of forgoing torpedoes on your destroyers for such little cost savings.

Damn you bittersteel, I lost NNN to the imperial Germany borders in this video.

Try using carriers they are kinda op

4:02 “…I have a special place in my heart for these ships…” Shikikan Bittersteel when

it feels odd to see some By Blood Alone mechanics, but not some others. like the Tank reasearch page is completely different

I know how to start every single German civil war with 36 divisions for the monarchists vs 24 divisions for the Reich. Idk if its a bug but you can place all your divisions on area defense on a single tile in the far bottom left corner where Germany, France, and Switzerland all share borders. Than, when the war starts, as usual each Germany gets 24 divisions on a front together. But with 14 extra divisions that you had on area defense still in that bottom corner.

At the risk of being a broken record player: 71Cloak discovered that CVs are the new Meta. Even 4 little converted cruiser hulls will curb stomp any navy you fight against.

I havent watched that far into the video, but theres an even easier way to do this. Budweis is taken by fate of czechoslovakia, guiness can be taken after the war quite easily, and by disbanding your faction and joining Japans you can get tsingtao by Japan, easy. I combined it with sealion and some other achievments in my own run

"It should be illegal to have this much fun." I'm pretty sure it was...

"i intend to go empire germany and reform the central powers" based germany

2:46 to skip the scam ad

Bitt3erSteel: I have restored the German colonial empire! Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi: Am I a joke to you?

"we have fixed ireland" ulster volunteer force: TRADE DEAL: I get to: bomb your car You get: no more car

Just bought some of your country ball stickers. Love the vids. 🎉

He fell for the scam 😔

Bulgaria: *Grabs Transylvania* "This is mine now."

Hey bittersteel, Im a navy guy and here is some info about why your fleet didn't do too well Most importantly, the British carriers tore you a new one. Carriers are incredibly powerful now and even in the hands of AI, they can and will ruin your day. Having green air is enough to prevent carrier naval bombers from taking off. Aside from that, you didn't have nearly enough heavy cruisers. Their battleships just tanked your heavy cruiser damage because they're battleships. You also had no light attack to deal with their screens. Lastly, retreating in a naval battle is basically the lose button. Always put your fleet on always engage and rather manually retreat if things start going wrong, when your navy retreats it basically goes stupid and you take alot of damage.

Me having flashbacks to when Spiff exploited the sponsor's website. Gosh that was fun XD

Your Pronounciation is actually better than all these "living in Germany" influencers.

The advertisment is a scam.

The leader for German Ireland, William Norton, was leader of the Irish Labour Party from 1932 to 1960.

i got a beer ad before this video started

17:45 best part 😂😂🤣

17:42 based

9:36 based

Awesome video like always! I was thinking about getting BBA but i'm not completely sure... Do you think that it's a good DLC? Thanks

Established Titles has become the new Raid Shadow Legends, they're everywhere :D

Hmm yes lore momentum of hoi4 Kaiserreich resurgence 100

i’m hoping you can revive the mongolian empire in one of your future videos🥺

About the return of kaiser once the netherlands denied it and i managed to get more colonies XD

Hoi4 be like: Germany has 10 divisions but with some dark sorcery germany SPAWNED another 14 divisions during civil war

Bro got Jutlanded.

maaaan you didnt take the best focuses on the tree until so late

I accidentally got this achievement by doing the new world order one

1:37 ima buy somthing in polan and call it the free state of prussia

8:05 question. Why didn't you upgrade to total mobilization? i'm not really experienced in this game so i wouldn't know

19:34 forgot to give at least lvl1 armor for heavy cruisers

I do not envy the Irish. First, brits, then the famine and now they have Norton installed.

6:19-6:21 wow that was very good german Do I have to say

Oddly enough, I got this achivement doing a world conquest

Um, did anyone else notice that he never reclaimed the small part of Belgium that they took after WW1?

Can you do Chad or any Minor African nation as Africa independent or even Pakistan with the Raj Broken it would be nice to see a professional like you build Empires for minor/generic nations

Never keep subs in the main fleet as it limits the speed of the entire fleet because they are slow as shit.

This was honestly a much easier achievement than I thought it'd be. My strategy was: Declare war on Ireland, and annex them. Do focuses to annex Czechoslovakia Disband the axis, join the Japanese, and help take over China Use all your warscore on just securing the one province you need in China. Easy and done by 1938

Hey Bitt3rSteel I'm just wondering. I have all the DLC's installed but for some reason my Germany doesn't have 1934 Medium tanks. Is there a mod you have downloaded or am I doing something wrong?

What an amazing video, by the way, from were are you? Im from Liverpool.

I really like this guide, its very helpful, and I love this channel, but trying to replicate the run, with the new updates, change a bit the strategy, now even being a brown country, you have to be in 70 percent of global tension to send equipment to Spain, or at least, send volunteers and then send the equipment, but you still have to fight the divisions on the civil war. (sorry for my English, not my first language)

Holy shit your navy got flushed!

I was wondering why Bittersteel sounded drunk (covid recording on the good meds?) then I saw it was on 0.75% playback speed XD

My axis allies seized china for me while I held up north

hold on how many languages do you know, im trying to learn german and i cant even pronounce it like you (definitely not me trying to prounounce german words in HOI4 for the sake of "practice")

Also you forgot to mention that August Von Macken gives a 20% Bonus to Attack and Defense so no matter what, your 24 shitty divs will always outperform the enemies shitty divs

17:48 nein nein nein!!!

one thing i like to do with major powers in peace deals is to first select all and then deselect the mainland so i can get all the colonial land for myself, after that i like to rub some salt in the wound by disuniting the mainland. sadly it seems that the new patch doesn't let me divide the land between my new puppets which does make for some disgusting borders.

Danzig for guarantees only works when the guarantees are pre poli-russo war.

love your vids america comunnist

Bitt3rSteel be like: the best is still trash for me LOL 😂

Bitt3rSteel doing this while I'm just doing a fascist Germany world conquest.

30:34 austria-hungary looks like a german symbol💀
