Honestly I trust Wojtek far more than any other politician

local homeless woman shows up, proclaims herself queen, conquers half of two continents in a brutal war, and is then deposed by a bear. honestly i hope she got a nice retirement, and long live the bear king

do not dishonour Wojtek. He literally served as artillery crew in the battle of Monte Cassino (he was carrying the shells)

What happened after that? Can he bear the weight? Did he end up ruling the world?

That is an absurd Easter egg, I adore that bear!

1) This is the way the world should be ran 2) Hope you had a good thanksgiving

Bear in mind how fun this achievement is! Btw, is there an option to change Berlin name to... Bearlin? 😂

If you release Lithuania as a puppet you can do the commonwealth focus and instantly annex and get the cores

I love how in real real he only became a corporal which to be fair for a bear is an astounding achievement but in this game you can loterally make him the king of half of Eurasia

Bruh I was so convinced this was a troll. Especially when you randomly said you needed the artillery focus for the event to trigger. Absolutely hilarious.

King wojtek deserves all of our beer

*Sees a literal bear on the ballot* ............. ............. *shrug of approval* "Ok."

This is my mom’s worst nightmare in the most literal sense imaginable. she literally had a nightmare when she was young were an army of bears took over the world and ate everyone. She was in Yellowstone with her family and my dad, who she was still dating at that time, and they saw some bears nearby. They all got out to watch them while my mom was having a breakdown in the car because she thought they were gonna charge them and kill them all, she was screaming for them all to get in the car… the bears were several hundred feet away from them.

All hail King Wojtek, May his reign be prosperous and peaceful I'll expand this later, feel free to add your own line for King Wojtek Original Comment: The first monarch to fight on the front lines since Napoleon

Of course a stereotypical Slavic Empire has a bear as Tsar. It's actually kind of funny.

I would totally support a bear for the king of Poland. Huzzah for the King!

Fun fact: You can form Slavic Union in CK2, which is older than hoi

The isolated trade policy can be changed when you have another port, here it was when Lithuania was annexed. Also the new changes from the open beta which is now normal as of yesterday reduces the chances of spies getting captured SIGNIFICANTLY

Stakuyi your recent videos have been extremely good and I think this video will be as chaotic and fun as the others

If you dropped this video 2 seeks ago this would be perfectly paired with Polands Independence Day, but still great video as always. Also you read Polish names nearly perfectly, im impressed.

The maniacal laughter mixed with “it’s fine, it’s fine”…hilarious!

"I am not trapped in the eastern front with a bunch of Soviets! You're all trapped out here with me!"

The funniest thing is that wojtek actually existed and fought with the polish as a soldier in Italy like at the battle of monte cassino.

Anastasia went from a homeless woman to a literal leader of the whole europe

Epic Poland moment and great content stakuyi

having to listen to the same song (with WHISTLING AS ITS MAIN MELODY) for 30 minutes on repeat is actual torture

Fun fact ursus in the comunist block was one of the best farm machinery producers in the eastern block.

This... This is the proper way things should have ended in WW2.

17:23 NKVD: Hippity hopity your spies are now dead.

10:00 You can change trade law now because of Lithuanian ports Otherwise usually you only have Danzig as a port and hence the Embargoed Economy law

You can tell that he isn't used to Poland as he gets mobilization before the noble beaurocrat (+15% pp +15% stability) Edit: abolishing class segregation is better than nationalist education as for Poland stability is more important than war support that jumps to 100% the moment you're attacked and non core manpower is better than some bonus for attack and defence in core states.

I could hear Frederick II scream in agony, across the aeons, when you explained the Focus Tree option of going with the "Hollaholsen".

The polish bear now. Russia how the tables have turned

30:10 appearance of the bear

17:50 hussars are a Hungarian thing. The polish, who had a lot of close ties with Hungary throughout history, stole the idea and added ornamental wings and called it their own thing

I was there this all happened

That cavalry officer is a real person, and absolute legend. Look him up, Witold Pilecki; first man to give a report on the camps.

“ he is barley holding on” that pun was actually funny lol

Only in Poland 🇵🇱

Hey Stakuyi, another great upload, I'm glad to have subbed to you. Your videos are always entertaining.

Pills are so spicy, it'll have you foaming at the mouth for more.

I still need that achievement, so I might try this strategy.

I think animals would be better leaders than most people

Bear.

Protip for getting cores on Lithuania quickly: annex them, release them as a puppet, and do the commonwealth focus, which will give you cores on Latvia and Lithuania, and will annex both if they’re your subjects.

In the history books this will look weird, 1936 some random homelss woemn becomes queen of poland after claiming to be romanov, proceeds to conquer eastern europe and then the entire soviet union and germany, they find she is a fraud and replace with bear

Honesly I love the idea of the Polish Resistance using the distraction of the Winter War to shove into the USSR. (Poland was captured almost exactly 1 month before the winter war began)

28:50 What a laugh

I wish my country had a competent leader like the Slavic union

9:50 so relatable 💀💀💀 litteraly nothing changed between cz and sk

Imagine waiting whole 9 months just to name your child Wojtek Best mistake of one's life

Wojtek the bear is one of a kind. He carried bullets, smoked cigarettes and was awesome

Well there IS also a Hearts of Furries mod.... just saying, more, than one way to put animals onto the throne...

Wojtek is HOI's version of Glitterhoof

I didn't know that was there thank you, for telling us!

I couldn’t bear the wait for the bear to become king

You can remove the embargoed economy after getting a coastline any other than Gdańsk or Gdynia. you annexed Lithuania which gave you a coastline

Some times you’re watching a video that really intrigues you and then you see the title ruling the world as a bear and then you just have to watch it BECAUSE ITS A BEAR RULING THE WORLD HOW CRAZY DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO COME UP WITH THAT

Don’t worry just ’bear’ with me BEST JOKE I HEARD Stakuyi

Now you can use an Easter egg (Romanov) to unlock and Easter egg (Wojtek), to get an Easter egg (Wojtek on the thrown), to unlock another Easter egg (Funny polar bear land)

29:20 Considering history, probably a bullet...

I'll be honest, thus is probably one of the most fun runs you've done in _Hearts of Iron VI._ Even some of the Fallout: New Vegas and MLP runs pale in comparison to just how OP you made Poland and how quickly WOrld War II got resolved. I'm really hoping there's an alternate universe where, instead of the Soviet Union, there is now The Slavic Republic of Poland. That would likely end to a lot of Pollock jokes.

All Hail King Wojtek

Good lord, posting a lot recently. Keep up the good work man, you are great.

poland: big speedbump belgium: small speedbump

29:22 Well considering he was a random homeless man at one point he might be proud

"SIR WHAT ARE YOUR ORDERS?" "Rawr" "Understood, sir."

This challenge seems like a real bear but you bore it with unbearable courage.

I've been saying for years that bears should be in charge of everything. Long live King Wojtek!

I've laughed a lot during this episode! Thank you Stakuy

Wojtek challenge Light artillery only Wojtek as leader No aerial No navy Only artillery

I could bearly handle the puns.

i was not expecting... a literal bear ascending the throne. maybe as a way to transfer the royal powers elsewhere... but what just happened...?

If you go Cossack king and Germany goes for the kaiser, you can rush down Germany during the civil war,the wargoal should be ready as soon as the civil war ends and Germany should have practically no divisions

King Wojtek Romanov Of Poland Shall "Liberate" The World

The history books will be This is a video from the pre ww3 Era before Russia invaded the Baltic states About a video game about the ww2 Era truly a weird experience

Wojack is probably the most honest politician.

Ah yes, who could forget the Canadian royal family, the House of Holler-Hoser.

honestly wojtek is probably the only polish leader to be able to be a good leader in poland

Wow. I've only seen short videos from this guy. I had no idea his main videos were full of Paradox games. Nice.

That is the operation Barbarossa we all wanted

She upgraded the speedbump of europe into an even bigger speedbump!

I once again have to be astonished that Steve probably is the person in the world with the most eyebrow movement... And I am slowly learning to handle it

Imagine conquering half the world only to be deposed for a bear.

To explain what was going on with the embargoed economy stakuyi Danzig was your only port, but they didn't want to be a part of poland, so they embargoed and completely blocked you from using your only port. in history, the Polish got around this by exporting through the baltic states (with a high tax) but by absorbing Lithuania, you also gained access to their ports, and you completely bypassed danzig, and basically gave the germans in the city the middle finger.

OMG ITS THE HISTORY DAD GUYYY, HELLO HISTORY DAD GUY

Lovely videos we don't have to bear to watch!

10:10 the reason why you could change from embargoed ecconmoy was that you got another port so you dont have to use danzig

I like that people think that bears are russian Animals were meanwhile in Poland we Had 3 bears in the army Wojtek the Shell Carier Basia the Patriotic Dancer And the last one i dont rember

As a Polish man, Wojtek is actually our leader and our president Andzrej Duda actually has Wojtek inside his brain with buttons and levers and switches

Say what you want, about Wojtek but he is the cutest king any country will ever have.

Poland + Slovakia + Lithuania + Latvia + Estonia looks like a bear riding another bear

That’s a good leader tho, amazing stats

it was not the bear puns that did me in- it was him pronouncing hohenzollern as hollerholzen

I’m mean, Wojtek has my vote if he ran.

All hail the king of Poland

This was so much fun.

Imagine if this was historically accurate and Poland joins the Allies. Just picture the summits.

Long live the homeless Queen and the literal bear king

I’m comment out of fear the bear will kill me
