I prefer the main game tbh

@@LancerIHR oh yeah, no doubt. But for a mobile game, it's pretty fun

Bittersteel do you play clash of clans? Edit: because if you do you should make a tutorial on 3 starring a town hall 15 Actually you probably wont but it cant hurt to ask

Spooktober? Am I missing something? In my book it's December. :D

The Swedish went from training Somalians and helping then fight during the second italian invasion to making necklaces out of their bandmates' skull

Well come on its bitter

I got it down course it was non historical and got lucky with UK going communism/de colonize

@@Aurthas look again. It was historical on.

@@jonastheswede6256 I said I got it but did a game with none historical, remember as long as your on normal difficultly or higher with Ironman mode on you can get achievements

@@Aurthas yes you did, dident read it right. Sorry for that.

literally a 50/50 coin flip. besides, this is more fun

@@Bitt3rSteel While the other strategy is more efficient, I think this is much more in the spirit of the challenge

yeah and that 50/50 coin flip is not evenly distributed, its literally throwing dice and if youre unlucky you will end up with the UK saying no dozens of times, and with how PDX programs the game the coin flip is most likely already done at the start of the game and set in stone. Its just bad. There is too much RNG in decisions would should be influenced by your actions, its just big middle finger from them to the players

​@kleinerprinz99 this is an old comment I know, but I figured I'd just share this information, most rng for events and decisions is loaded at the start of a new day. If you're able to reload and somehow push the trigger to a different day, you will have a different rng roll. Certain things (like improving relations) can (not will) change the roll mid day

LMAO.

yeah, and when italy takes aussa they put units on the capital

the uprising mechanic is also bugged for me, no uprising happens when I click the button

Apparently out of all the problems of hoi 4 paradox decided that the worst of them is the fact that some people still can have fun in Ethiopia, and so they needed to fix it, best strategy

I'm shocked that this doesn't make the Italian AI abandon Germany. Benito Mussolini would 100% throw a fit about Ethiopia being invited in.

@@onionsoups1327 Nope. Field marshal stats are half as effective on your troops when they are field marshals. For example, if your general has 10 attack it gives you +50% attack but if your field marshal has 10 attack and if you use him as a field marshal your troop gets a +25% attack on top of whatever it gets from your general

"try to hold macale" is not an easy strat. Yes, I can do it. But I'll never use it in a guide, because that's like saying "just don't suck". It's costly, stressful and difficult. Newer players have better options

@@Bitt3rSteel i suppose. It’s the easiest run I’ve ever done for Ethiopia, simply because having such a small front makes the north utterly trivial. And all you really have to do is immediately set the fallback line there.

but you miss out on a mill

tbh I did it once but I cant find the save game or redo it@@Bitt3rSteel

I just tried that strategy of holding in Macalle and it works like a charm, thanks!!

Isnt ethiopia a christian country?

@@todo1231The Solomonic Dynasty descends from Solomon, a jew

Yes, but they're Christians. As were all starting Christians before Non-Jews were accepted in. Not that it would have helped, Hitler hated all Religion and Himmler was a Norse Paganphile.

that would be extremely annoying if you were playing as a puppet, so there's a reason it's not in the game.

@@tonyleier Then there should be a way to turn it off before the game starts, like with the "Puppet gives war score to overlord" or "Faction member gives some war score to faction leader" options.

its so broken, but its also the only really good focus ethiopia has

This ethiopia is shit af even as liberia i can do more i destroyed every division on the South and then they naval invaded me with another fully equiped 10 divisions same on north 🤡

Every now and then the Italian AI goes super fucking aggro on you. Most of the time you tend to get lucky tho and Benito forgets how to move his units.

i been trying for 3days, idk maybe 10 times, its not possible with AaT update, so i rolled back to 1.12.14 last by blood alone update, to gain access to lend lease.again i failed few times firstly: italy never stops attackin on both fronts secondly: even at half strength italian divs hold like crazy. thirdly: lend lease guns from mongolia and tuva insufficient. i barely hold current stock, they dont give no more than total 500guns. at best case scenario i had -6guns per day. with that defecit , attacking makes you melt slowly and u end up with like -6000 guns and stalemate, where in this video Bitter ends the war. fourthly : those events which giving either pp or mil is no more, completely removed. it didnt happen not even once in my dozens of attempts. fifth : assau's region dont have any mils anymore. tho still a good place for defense. sure, i can hold my ground indefinitely but once ww2 kicks, italy-ethiopia white peace happens, and erethia and somaliland is out of your reach. if you try to declare war on them then they join allies. idk what else to do at this point, either italy is stupidly strong or ethiopia very weak. and there s no way to rollback to originial 1.12.0 by blood alone patch. which i assume this video based on.

​@@Cl-l13FI have the game updated (all the DLC bought minus the latest one) and managed to get the white peace by late 1938 (~November), the trickiest part was getting the south right, it took me ~5 attempts but I managed to fully kicked them out (in attempt 3 I managed to kick them out but I didn't leave any division in the ports and you can imagine what happened) - after that the north was very easy If you want to have it as reference, the Italians had taken ~150k casualties by the time I started pushing in the south - by the time I started in the north they had wasted like ~15 divisions in naval invasion, so pushing through the north was quite trivial (and just as a side note, I was just reaching level of scalation 9 and the Italians had 450k casualties by the time the white peace fired)

I managed to kick Italy out of Africa without the DLC (so no market) and as I was playing the most recent version, no Tannu Tuva lend lease - it is more difficult than before but it is still doable (for reference, it took me until November of 1938 to kick them and for the white peace to fire)

just to the focus that allows you to purchase old ships. Ask Germany and Japan for lend lease and they will give you convoys once you dont have enough

I also think a balance of power should be implemented in several other countries. I think that could replace the congress system for the US

You have to wait it out since Italy gets weaker overtime
