Man props to you for finally being able to make a guide for this

Thank you BitterSteel. With this guide, I can finally avenge my failed Persian Empire run without using any cheat.

For those unaware (as I was until very recently) duplicating airwings while at 0 manpower summons humans from the underworld so conscription laws are somewhat irrelevant if you have planes in stockpiles and patience

as a persian person i really enjoyed this video :)

Perfectly done ! *Cyrus the great is proud of you* Although you forget Pakistan & parts of India & Turkmenistan & Uzbekistan & Tajikistan &...... (ah lord it's so difficult,,,,,,, *basically any country that ends with istan was a part of the Persian empire* ) Fun fact : in Persian *Istan* apparently means *province* looool (I love ancient Persians !!!! Just naming half the countries in the world as *provinces of smt* lmfao )

0:03 IRAN MAN MODE ON

hey at the beginning you can just send land lease to spain with all your equipment and fire the civil war, then cancel the landlease and you gain all your equipment must easier

As an iranian, i freakin love this. Also you're pronunciation was very funny

just found your channel and now i can be less confused about this game . love from iran

Wow found you like a 2 weeks ago and thanks to you i got pretty better at hoi4 love your work

You should do the bringing the band back together achievement run guide.

Sorry Bulgaria, it was just business

Great video as always. I've been enjoying the disaster saves and these challenges. Have you thought about doing longer role-playing campaigns with Kaiserreich?

Woah, dream comes true! Best of the best!

Now THIS is beautiful

Props for doing an Iran vid without butchering every single word like most paradox youtubers. Also really digging the background music, is then name to be found somewhere? Subscribed and looking forward to more like this.

Heck yeah, I knew that footage was you forming Persia.

“Start aggressively walking” such powerful words

18:02 If anyone wants to try out the naval focus one, you need to make sure that the state that those dockyards appear in is in your control when civil war breaks out. If not, non aligned Iran would delete those dockyards for building slots.

Thank you for building the great Persian Empire🇮🇷❤❤

16:00 Can't you, at this point, cancel your justification and start it from scratch? That should give you more time, and you can check whether they already have the new guy or not

This is one of the coolest HOI4 videos I have ever seen :)

Man, I’m new here but I’m absolutely loving it!! Great KZfaqr!!

Thank u i realy wanted ti see this.

Great work love these videos!

just to say this video summoned entire iranian gaming community to come to hoi4 ur a legend from itan

Very tough to do on the current patch - turkey joined axis - the pain....

really preferred your guides with period music. I just want to listen to allied radio when i watch ur guides lol

Great video, and as an Iranian find your pronunciation so funny 😂❤

Oh man, what you did with Bulgaria was genius LOL

You are amazing Bittersteel, you have time to do this content, and good content as well! I’m a big fan of yours and great video!!!! If you could how’s about Italy to Rome?

I hate when I find your guides too late and the game has already updated to where the guide is obsolete

I'm an Iranian and I love this video so much, thank you for playing with Iran. ❤❤

Bitt3r troops every vid: **walks aggressively**

34:49. Passing up a free research slot for one 100% infantry bonus 😹

Great vid, really like your strategies.

F in chat for the Military Factory

That was glorious

Woo-hoo A good one again, Bitt3rsteel!

ty man.good gameplay

I always had difficulties playing this game but thanks to you I can stand on my own against him bullies

Challenge idea; Restore the Incan Empire and exact revenge on Spain as Peru without joining the Axis. Alternatively, can form the Gran Columbia and just annex Incan lands in other countries.

New bittersteel video got me breathing like a dog.

Well well well look who it is, Mr Steel back again with another guide. Well played sir well played

great video thank you

I was considering doing this.Now i’m gonna do

Finally watching this because i was just getting some moons in mario odyssey

Nice intro very sleek

Exzellent Video, very well done but will you be making achievment guides again? Your achievment Videos are simply the best.

All of these walkthroughs gives me the desire to buy the game, once it's on sale, I'm buying everything.

34:12 Okay, I didn't know about that trick yet. That's NEAT!!

If you don't wanna deal with the funky exploit with borders in vichy france, you can simply declare on france while they are fighting germany, so you get the levant before vichy france gets formed, then push through the suez and wait for italy to lose its territory in libya. The only potential problem you might run into is taking cyprus, but if you've been building aircraft, you'll be able to acheive air superiority, and thus paradrop onto the island. Alternatively, if you take the rest of north africa, and greece gets capitulated, the allies no longer have any ports in range of cyprus, so naval superiority becomes much easier to achieve. If their fleet gets stuck in the mediterranean, you can just damage them, and then port strike them as they try to repair in cyprus (they will also be out of supply if they put fleets in port, because their convoys can't reach cyprus). Still, I'm glad i watched this guide, as i learned some new things that make this campaign easier and less tedious for me in two ways: I now know of a way to capitulate romania without involving the axis, and i also don't have to fight italy to be able to form persia (because i didn't know about the mechanic with military access, involving occupation). Italy, in particular, was a massive thorn in my side, since i would have to go to war with them prematurely, so as to prevent them from joining the axis, as i would eventually need to go to war with them for the dodecanese, and the "libya" region.

"Our stolen equipment will blot out the sun" - some Persian guy probably

Nice man. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I-Ran, i thought u run (😂🤣)

Shahanshah in Hoi4 be like:

Thx bro

Oh nice👍

A defensive field marshall would be great!

Pretty cool

my advice - ALWAYS ask for convoys in your lend-lease begging operation. all of them will give 30 convoys per tick

Niceeeeee👌

"Ope you don't own Sudan looks like we won't recognize you as Persia despite the fact you own over 95% of the clay if historical Persia"

Hahaha, that final moment, where your manpower jumps from 239k to 4.21M. Oh, my, .... Allah? xD

yellow Iran epik

You were great dude i'm persian and i proud of you⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤝

Thank you for playing with iran

Just because you need guns doesn’t mean you need to MAKE those guns

Thanks❤💚

It took me near 20 tries to complete this challenge

32:11 cit Donald Rumsfeld.

I never understood why foreigners always refer to Persia when they want to say the name of Iran, which is the name of Iran Iran, which means Aryan land and is composed of different ethnic groups, one of which is also called Pars.

Nice

Thank you for restoring our old great empire ❤

I love the faction kicking trick. It’s out I nab the balkans for a Byzantium run. You get Romania to annex Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. And then all their spare manpower and guns are tied up in garrisons. You can do some quick encirclements and kill them so fast.

Everytime I go down the civil war route I somehow get screwed

Wow, today I am playing and stamping in Iran, what a beautiful coincidence😅😅😅❤❤

i dont know when they did it but they changed the ai to avoid the easy repeat encirclement had a game as Poland where i didn't have to maintain troops on all the borders because the ai was so messed up from me encircling them they wouldnt adv even if i had no troops there.

I dream to be this good in HoI4.... Still glaring over my failed F!DEI/INAOrder runs.

جالب بود

Of course I get that ONE game, where Italy actually wins in North Africa and much of Africa in general, because the Brits just after having them on the brink of collapse (one more tile to cut off their troops and finish them), decide to pull 90% of their North Africa troops away to station them at my border...

Cyrus the great would be proud

Notice where they’re invading at 41:07, it’s gallipolli

Hey i saw your reddit post on this

Ah yes, get rid of the army cuz you dont need it

My first name is Shahmeer, which means king of leaders lol

And I raaaaaaaaaan, I ran so far awayyyyyyyyy

Perfect 🥰

Hi, I'm from Iran and I wanted to say that Iran was at its greatest in 300 BC. If you search Achaemenid Empire on Google, you will understand that Iran is almost the oldest country on earth. And it flowed from the part of Central Asia except Kazakhstan to the middle of India and Greece to Egypt, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia. And Iran means the land of Aryans. Thank you for reading this comment.

Excellent video and great content but I want to pose you a question. Is it possible to recreate the Persian Empire with non-aligned Persia ? Why ? Because the Persian Empire flag's is so beautiful. Yes, I know, I love flag

Fun Fact. The name the Sassanids gave to their empire is Iranshahr! Best to have called it that. Tho idk why you did the civil war lol.

Thanks for picking Iran 😊 🇮🇷

I only just realized that you can't change airwing size all the way up 1000 any more due to an update 3 months ago. It's fixed at 100 😭 I was do confused at first I was wondering why I couldn't do it

Countries can still have supplies even if they're cut of from the capital if they hold victory point (a city)

Goes from ~200k manpower to 4.1 mil manpower.... Imagine the possibilities. Imagine. Also goes from 158 factories to 191. I love how coring something in HOI4 is insanely OP.
