I think its funny that in victoria 3 everyone is obsessed with overthrowing monarchies but in hoi4 everyone is obsessed with restoring or empowering monarchies

Any norway playthrough that doesnt include hiring Quisling is a victory

Bitt3rsteel on his way to play every single monarchist paths of the new update

Imagine 3 waves of monarchist demonstrations suddenly just firing up throughout the whole country.

I recently did a playthrough of monarchist Norway with my mates on Sweden and Finland. My mountaineers were ridiculous with the amount of special forces buffs monarchist Norway gets along with the new special forces doctrines. Manpower was a massive problem though, I was on All Adults Serve in 1939 trying to contain the naval invasions in Sweden because my friend forgot to garrison his ports.

The fact that Norway doesn't have King Haakon VII as a national spirit from the start really shock me ! He should be added at the start and , in historical, get his trait upgraded when refusing Quisling's coup.

All of your Scandinavia videos have been absolutely AMAZING. You explain these really well. Keep up the great work.

"Norway, the Chile of Europe." *Dead*

Bittersteel is the one Hoi4 KZfaqr who makes Futurama references and I'm all here for it!

Gotta say, I don't know where all the Futurama memes started coming from, but I love it

I love how you reference futurama in every episode. You have some good taste

Another great video! Btw, little tip: you can also justify on Slovakia to get a war goal against Germany, except that justifying on Slovakia creates far less tension

now monarchy support costs PP alongside manpower

Me and my friend were playing as Norway and Sweden, respectively, and this would have been a nice guide for that time. Luckily, we didn't do too bad, and I got a nice bit of land

great video as always. I’ve improved a lot since I started watching you.

I look forward to you doing the vote of no confidence path; it's likely the strongest path for Norway I think

This is a really good strategy. Clicking all the demonstration decisions is definitely the right choice, even if unintended and very cheesy. I tried something similar, but forgot about attaches and Quisling so I just tried to take 'Promote the Armed Defence of Norway' as much as I could until 70% war support. That took too long, and annoyingly, both Denmark and Sweden accepted my ridiculous territorial demands (maybe my army was too large?). As a result, I couldn't declare on Sweden immediately, and I only managed to annex the three Swedish states, the Danish mainland (and Iceland) before Germany came knocking. Why the hell does Denmark survive on like Greenland and the Faroe Islands like nothing happened? Then what really messed things up was that Germany declared war on Denmark, and with my thirty-ish division army and no manpower I retreated to hide in mainland Norway again. Denmark did the thing which lost Faroe and Greenland, and I didn't realise that *both* 'Restore Kalmar Union' and 'Proclaim Nordic Unity' were locked behind owning the Faroe islands... which the UK outright owned... it is really infuriating when you've next conquered your way across Sweden, Finland (declaring manually on Sweden somehow dragged me into war with Finland), and reclaimed the Jutland Peninsula from Germany before looking at the decision that gives you cores and finding out that you have to declare on the UK. Pretty awful. Probably should've restarted again, but it was a fun campaign in the end (capitulated Germany, wasn't bothered to go to war with the Allies). At the end, the entire army was no manpower and suffering, lol.

Probably won’t see this comment but thank you for your videos.I am in college right now and I been having a bad time due to stress and every time you upload the video makes my day.Thanks bud

With the new special forces buffs, paratroopers have become really fun. I had a Kaiserin Victoria run where I paradropped Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad ahead of my tank spearheads, it was honestly beautiful and what I always imagined HOI being. Special forces are finally special and can really well fulfill their specialties

I'm only missing two achievements of AAT (the bus and cheese your fighter) and you come up with the correct path for one of it but then stop before it's finished... Anyways, great as always. I'll get myself some Belgian fries tomorrow.

The thumbnail game has been on point lately!👌

Great video as always! It could be great to make a guide updated on Mexican achievements or a new path guide. Once again great video and thanks for all your content :)

I think the new DLC raised special forces caps by a lot. You could be right that it's a mistake, but I hope not. Love my marines (30 width shock troops; take the beach, then everything else).

The elite forces is bugged for everything right now, most countries can pump out entire armies of special forces. Finland especially can have exclusively special forces. There will be more capacity than available manpower in Finland

As a thank you for playing my nation, i will personally send you 15,000 barrels of oil to you! ❤ 🇳🇴 ❤

Who is doing thumbnail arts they look adorable

Yea its fun and all until paradox decides to change the pp with comand power that you get from the decisions and you just stay here like me and wonder ,,Wtf do I do'' cuz its a lot of waisted time here if I wait for pp. Thank you paradox👍

Loving the futurama clips at the beginning

I found Assure The Population is a better focus to take as soon as possible, since it will hit your war support, but since you're already capped with how low it can get it's a good time to get it, and start working on the decisions earlier

Great video thank you

Cant wait for this video! I love your contents on hoi4, ur my beacon for this game

for some reason every historical ww2 peace deal i see ends in german reich alive in landlocked region of France

Lore of Norway, underdog of the North...or is it? Momentum 100

Hey BitterSteel, got a nice exploit for you. If you go and look at the new MIO of britain, the aviation one Supermarine, in total the right tree gives 100% air attack for fighters. It seems like someone added a zero to much. Easy way of getting the achievment to shoot down 800 figthers in 1 day. Espcially with all the other fighter bonuses Britain gets. Japan also gets it but they dont have the MIO unlocked at the start of the game.

I don’t have arms against tyranny but Finland has a focus tree for me to play

Now that you've gone though all the big Nordic countries, I'd love to see what you do with the secret, 5th nation that was included in this pack.

Was just watching the sweden video lol

There should’ve been a path where you say smth like “the king is weak” and you kick him out and choose another one.

they fixed it. now you just need 55% ws for shield of the north

3 titles in 12 hours. Impressive

I havent watched bittersteel for a long time but i couldnt resist watching after i saw the norway vid

That color,damn! I love it

Bey BT, you name your channel members as elite divisions, right? So, what about naming the first ones to comment in your videos to make the frontline units? Because we are the first ones to get there, so it kind make sense? Nice video btw

and this is great video

Great video, it makes me want to play Norway, but i am wondering what division templates were u using for ur units?

your videos are always amazing! l got hoi4 because of you and thanks to you l am learning a lot from the game! keep it up🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Could you do an achievement run for The Lone Wolf as Finland?

Why am I just now noticing that your ending music sounds like something from the later Five Nights at Freddy's games? xD

I'm guessing the reason that they made those shared focus tree thingies is for coop multiplayer. They did the same with EU4 a couple DLCs ago.

24:40 its because a. Theyre untrained Prob should get them to regulars and b. combat width was absolutely ignored when pushing with 10 divs

Bitt3rsteel after seeing France post-peace deal. "Look how they massacred my boy."

BTW If you take the Netherlands and the rest of France after that peace deal you would have the Cheese your fighter achievement

Fuck tried this about 5 times, sweden gives in every time. Thats 50 factories i miss out on, and i cant invade them afterwards without them joining the allies.

Norway my beloved

The idea of Haakon VII not only reconquering old Norwegian lands, but also taking over Denmark is quite funny, given Haakon VII himself was a Danish national, installed in mutual goodwill 😂 His brother ruling Denmark at the time, nonetheless

i love this

And they really made olav in a navy uniform a general not a portrait of him in generals uniform

watching at 12am in australia when video released 💪 😎

only norway path i have played so far is trotsky. pretty powerful path if yk what ur doing

if that special forces cap is not a bug then norway is bit op

18:58 what happened to Romania 💀💀

Hey bittersteel, are the conditions for the swedish cession of territories exactly the same as those you cited for the Denmark foci? Sweden always folds and I'm thinking of deleting armies to get them to refuse. Haven't had the time to test it out though. Are the conditions already on the wiki or did you dig through the game files like a true chad?

good video

Every time I land in the UK and split them in half my units run out of supply and just get demolished. And that is *with* a navy out, *and* air superiority, plus naval bombers running cover over the water. It's really stupid and I don't know what I am doing wrong. Great playthrough though.

Future patch has been added and switch to monarchism is now harder, forces you to not take a focus just to have enough PP to take the decisions

Cool video, but I have a question. When will achivment guides start 😈😈😈

27:40 It's all coming up Mulhouse.

Comments are mentioning Iceland Bitt3rsteel. Maybe give it a shot?

I feel like every monarchist nordic playtrough has a different start but the same ending

🐍❄

fun fact jarlsberg is actually a norwegian chez

I think the special forces counter counts battalions, not divisions.

Do you see now? No winter logistics's

Did you know that Island also habe a Focus Tree? ( could you please Play the socialiste path of Finland i tried it many times to Form Scandinavia but i failed)

crazy that graham hill can rule over norway in this game

I saw a video of bittersteel, instant like

0:22 A movie? What’s the name of it?

I thought hungry was a stain on my screen 💀💀

Changed your title hahaha liked the original one

any opinion which country is the "best" to form the kalmar or nordics? I know they kinda focus on their own thing but, manpower wise?

Loving the thumbnails. Really makes me want to click on the video.

0:20 Did you mean the King's Choice?

Bitter Steel Challenge Not go Monarchist. Difficulty: impossible

How many times have you changed the video's title? 😅

Bittersteel over here changing the title not once, but twice💀

no way

Can you do the magic school bus achievement? It is my nightmare

I played democratic "historical" Norway (went the Labor government, but didn't surrender). Was quite fun fwiw. I wish there were focuses for not being a government in exile

Can we get an update do this? the decisions now cost manpower and pp.

Did anyone else thing, when he comented "I'd hate to be the german high command at the momment" think ok then lets see YOU recover this disaster

Usually norway is Italian something new!

Iceland world conquest when?

Noice

what us that mod

Bittersteel is thoroughly into his futurama arc and I'm totally here for it

I would like a separate channel for sruff like warhammer 40k and bolt action!

I just wish you weren't hamstrung until right before WW2 to be able to actually start doing things, I hate how Sweden and Norway got the Turkey treatment

bitt3rsteel can you play great war redux again as a RUSIA

could you please play the united faction part of the tree
