Thanks a ton for the guide! It allowed me to get the achievement on the 2nd try after a lot of previously fruitless grinding... A couple notes for others who want to get it using this strategy: 1) You don't have to get all the South American countries as exiles; Chinese manpower and the industry of the first ~5 countries you get is enough 2) You HAVE TO join the Axis and build infrastructure, airports, and supply in the Union; the German AI is r*tarded and unable to do that, making it almost impossible for them to win on their own Have a sub~

Over 60 factories as democratic Tannu Tuva. Too good

The sentence 'excess manpower' in combination with Tannu Tuva. Oh man ... Brilliant stuff!

Watching this now makes me realize the amount of insanity goes into playing tannu what Chiang-high shrek/Czech comes in clutch

You are basically roleplaying a certain middle eastern country strategy-wise. Greatest ally confirmed.

You always blow my mind with how big brain these strats are, very well done!!!

The Goat is teaching us another lesson! Klasse! I love the developing of your humour in your videos, its fantastic!

12:55 that is the stupidest, most HOI4 thing I have ever heard.

I was shocked when I found out that I had somehow been the very first person in the world to get this achievement, got it just under 24h after the launch lol.

Exile-master Tannu Tuva?! I love it

I remember when the achievement first came out so I was sluggin it out trying to get achievement for solid 3 days.

Literal insane strat, incredible

I love democracy!

This helped me a lot, thanks!

Wasn't expecting to see this out today whens the nexted stream

Thanks for the video, I found the strategy helpful In getting the achievement! I ended up getting china, shanxi and spain as exiles and that was enough for me to make around 40 divs that I improved over the time of war, I started the war with the soviets around 39 and held on and just kept eating their divisions in countless encirclements without pushing out wide. As soon as Germany pushed in I started slowly expanding and that gave me more than enough war score to get all the provinces you need.

To tell you the truth, i was looking for a way, to do this, only found out some old videos, but i have ended up taking half of Sinkiang ( it looked like south and North Korea), than taking whole Xibei san ma, by not calling anyone but sinkiang to attack through their territory, sending cavalry units to quickly take the empty areas, before they get invited in Chinese alliance, or how it is called, then grinded some of their manpower, and was pretty much happy, got around 42 divisions, then made war as Fascist, but i got bored, to just watch it be like ww1 stalemate, soo thank you for your nice ideas of new way how to get it . :D

I just Order 66'd the soviets (with collabs)

2.3k manpower daily, OH MY LORD THAT IS NUTWORTHY

this is insane, i never would have thought of this in a million years

This was utter insanity and I loved it

This is abusing proper game mechanics on a whole new level... bravo! I so glad that I cheesed my way out of this achievement beore the BBA peace conference update, because I don't know how much brain cells I would lose trying this now. As much as I like these to "beat" the game when the odds are against you (it's super satisfying), I really wish that Paradox made some of its achievements more playable for most players. Unless, the devs tried these crazy methods one day or watched a "crazy HOI4 KZfaqr" and decided that they should make an schievement for it... I guess only history will tell ;) This is a really brilliant run, though probably too much chaos for me to personally handle!

Ok the title didn't lie, certified insanity.

I had an idea for a cheesy Siberian Tiger strategy that might be equally as insane, but I’m not sure if it would work since I came up with it at 4 in the morning: - Start as the Soviet Union, kick Tannu Tuva as soon as possible (April), before then immediately start connecting the railway network to Tuva. As soon as you can, justify on them and annex them. - Redirect all naval production to convoys - Start going down the Trotsky path in the focus tree. What matters here is that the civil war is won as quickly as possible (go full cheese, lend lease everything to Spain before war triggers, set all divisions to anti-air before triggering the war, etc.) - Make sure to set your secret headquarters to Tashkent. This is important. - After winning the war, rush towards the “Autonomous Soviet Republics” focus - This will release Belarus and the three Caucasus nations. As soon as possible, annex Belarus and Georgia (Don’t worry about Armenia and Azerbaijan) through lend-lease, construction, and the continuous focus. I’m not sure how long this takes or if this is even necessary-the problem here is that Belarus and Georgia will be able to move troops into Soviet territory if we don’t do this. - Once you annex Belarus and Georgia, release Georgia and Dagestan as free. This will isolate Armenia and Azerbaijan. - Move all of your troops to your capital Tashkent, and then release Kazakhstan as free, isolating the capital from the rest of the country - Release Tannu Tuva as free and as Tuva, spam out 2-width cavalry divisions, and justify and declare on the Soviets. The Soviets will have no troops (unless Belarus/Georgia aren’t annexed, then you may have to face the puppet divisions). I’m not sure if this is possible before Germany declares on the army-less Soviets, but it’s a crazy idea

Thank you for being the one HOI4 KZfaqr without a annoying voice

Just got every achievement after exactly 2000 ingame hours (I dont know how navy works)

Man, this is pure chaos haha

he is the god of hoi4

i wish tommykay saw this X'D

So infinite power siberia nice

Shoigiu approves of this video

I’d disagree with the part of inability to take all of Sinkiang and much of china. By producing transports from the beginning of the game i managed to take out sinkiang without soviet help. You can paradrop the unguarded southern tile bordering the Soviet Union and rush with 2w cav. Then you’ll still have the time to quickly defeat Xibei San Ma with Comintern’s help before they join the united front. That gives you the setup to have a capable army and gain major war contribution by reliably encircling Chinese troops (i managed to get a really ugly but highly populated puppet spanning about a third of the country) Then, I turned fascist, joined the axis to keep the Russian army on the German border and quickly justified on the soviets and made some shock troops with my population enchanced by Karl Marx’s portrait (my puppet army was made strictly for defence purposes to avoid them breaking free) Then, quickly punched through Mongolia to link with my puppets without inviting them into the war. Looked for easy encirclements while bleeding the Soviets with my huge defensive army and waiting for Barbarossa. After Germany attacked I switched into an all out assault mode to farm war contribution. In the end that got me around 25% wc which was enough for an empire that spanned from Vladivostok way past the Urals + Mongolia Then I proceeded to beat up Japan alongside the US, but my Chinese puppet allowed me to take most of the land really cheaply and limit American gains to 1 or 2 provinces in Japan This strategy is quite challenging and cheesy, but still possible and really satisfying to pull off :)

Tannu what?

A way I never realized. I was thinking about how to get industry and manpower by destroy the allies. But this .... this is literally insane. I am gonna try this🤣

Accidentally justified on Afghanistan and didn't notice until I got the wargoal

I always get the feeling people see this achievement and ASSUME it'll be difficult when it's mostly just boring and time consuming. To be fair, this is WAY different than how I did it. I just used the Ideological Crusader trait from communism and gave myself way more than enough manpower to stack divisions and hold the Soviets while the Germans pushed them. Then I finally pushed out to form Siberia as the Soviets lost all equipment and manpower. Also, "Xi" is pronounced "She" in Chinese. Hence "Xi Jinping" is not "zee Jinping".

Hey hatless spider could you try to do “go ahead Macau my day”?

I think France having a civil war is an absolutely critical part of this strategy working. In one attempt at this strategy, it didn't happen, and Germany could never fully break through to France and the low countries, and thus never started Barbarossa.

it's GINAAAA not China

Who says 0 cheese Tannu Tuva isn't fun?

wtf did i just watch

Shanxi refuses to join my faction so I can't get the expeditionaries to my territory

How did you get liberia and ireland etc to jojn the war? they refuse to for me They have dangerous borders against the enemies. -100 Democracy being called to an offensive war: -50 Base Reluctance -20

When your foreign policy is schizophrenia:

what a success. the strategy seems pretty strange lmao

When I try this china wont accept any my requests for expeditionary forces, even just one unit.

i did it

why did u pick the maneuver guy two times? 5:10 and 5:25

Why don't you have pause on notifications

The France civil war happen because france is at war and has a stability below 30 and has disjointed government

This the most broken, cheesy abuse of mechanics in the game... and i must try it

38:10 Adolf Hitler classic. I knew AH was a Gamer

i cant invite liberia (they dont have neutreal foreign policy)

I can't make a faction with liberia

How does your Liberia not have the neutral foreign policy?

Couldn’t you order 66?

update it plz

The Tuvans are Turkic and were part of the large Turkic empires like the Gokturk.

Does he know?

Title of the video says "Insanely easy" but at the end of the video he says "Insanely complicated" which it is. Deceptive advertising.

Слава Крабам!

Dude this is just not easy
