Learning Hoi4 From Tutorial: ❌ Learning Hoi4 From Watching Swinceball: ✔️

5:31 Oh that’s nice, they’ll be baptized. What a wholesome and Christian way to forgiv- 😶

swinceball with hands doesn't exist he can't hurt you. Swinceball with hands: 4:23

That "Second Second Mexican Empire" at 20:52 😂

We can't expect God to do all the work.

Meanwhile out in the wasteland, an old radio kicks back to life, holotape still in it's tapedeck. For the first time in 200 years; the tales of old echo across the landscape. "For the grace, for the might of our lord In the name of his glory For the faith, for the way of the sword Come and tell their story again"

And now you got me imagining Christian Super Mutants with rebar crucifixes around their necks knocking on doors asking people if they’ve heard the good word.

Week 5 of asking for a Federalist China playthrough in Kaiserreich! Under the enlightened leadership of Chen Jiongming, we shall finally liberate the Chinese people and end the Century of Humiliation!

bro is named Saint Michael💀💀

5:34 Swinceball out of context

Week 5 of asking for the restoration of the bourbons in Pax Brittanica!

Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Never thought I’d see steampunk radical Catholicism, I’ll scratch that off my 2024 list of shit

1:01 the Catholic Church before the black plague

Damn, these guys get almost ALL sophisticated tech!? Deus Vult indeed~

Pope Swinceball has called for a Crusade!

Heaven's Gate has always been one of those factions with great potential despite its lackluster focus tree. So glad to see a positive playthrough of it! Cheers mate!

Weak 3 of asking a full USA playthrough in TNO but its the viewers who decide

Wait Heavens Gate💀💀💀

Media Vita? Absolutely based, a holy chant and procession for a holy conquest.

Definally an extremely twisted version of christanity in those wastelands it would seem!

Bro your videos made me learn so much of hoi4 like when I started hoi4 I don know what to do but, when I started watching your videos, I started to know how I manage some stuff like supplies, military equipment, technology and national focused tree

The East and West mix up has to be some old joke, but holy moly it’s always flipped Edit: He messed up at 19:42. Forgot to switch it up

I absolutely love your old world blues videos

Did a wasteland conquest as these guys once a few months ago. Very good candidate for it with the cheaper cores and strong tech right out the bat. Supposedly there's a rework for them on the burner right now but I'm not in the know for specifics.

5:24 That Sentence hits Hard👍👍👍👍

Man, these videos are so good that in between uploads, I have to watch either old videos or search for other channels, just to scratch the HOI IV storytelling itch that I got after discovering your channel.

Week 8 of asking for velimirs Hyperborea and the Storm of the North!

I love how at the end there's just the Second Second Mexican Empire casually hanging out

Watching Swinceball again with a coffee in hand and sitting comfortably. Thanks for making your videos Swinceball. They always bring a smile

I always love how you narrate from the perspective of the nation you're playing. Just makes your video all the more entertaining!

Fellas wake up, Swinceball just posted another Old World Blues banger.

God bless Swinceball!

I did not expect a based episode but in no way am I complaining. After finally completing my exams I can finally commit myself to my fallout phase before it fades out in a month or 2

Thanks for showing me how to do this, like i said in your last video you are the main reason i got hoi4 and i had struggled with heaven’s gate before but watching you has helped, even when not playing heavens gate because i never change my templates besides adding support and i really should. Also Week 2 of telling you to have fun and do what you think is best

If you would like to have a challenge I suggest the ROC in Cold War iron curtain. Though I really won’t recommend it as it is brutally difficult. Though there is a sub mod (cwic: a kuomingtan expansion) that eases it and gives more than (I think) 20 years more content with Chiang Kai Shek. Will try to give a guide but some of it is outdated With Sub-mod: I recommend taking the divisions from Shanghai to around chongqing until you have 72 (x3 24 div)divisions in one army group and assign Li Zongren as field marshal (the most defensive FM)and assign the most defensive generals to the the three armies under his command and have them defend Shanghai (yes and even with that it will be hard). Then take the rest until you have 71 (x2 24 div armies and x1 23 div) and assign them. There is a somewhat brutal debuff with China in this submod but less than the base (-30 dif,att on core territory and some for reorg and one other I forgot.) while the PRC has the opposite (positives) which can be removed from the decisions tab There will be three missions in the decisions tab saying defend x city I forgot how long it is for shanghai but by the time you complete the focus fortify Shanghai there should still be 8 days before the mission finishes it and the others will finish at least 10 days after that. Mainland defence(yes I know Shanghai is mainland but you’ll know what I mean when looking at the map): This submod adds a modifier in some states (prc’s 50s unplanned offensive) which gives a whopping -75% division speed and ground support (attack factor as well), -50% org regain, and MINUS 90% DIV ATTACK. I recommend trying to defend tiles just out side these states (yes these apply to only selected states) or right on the border (the debuff of org regain for some reason does not apply for ROC/player troops.) I can’t really explain how the fallback line should look but the two top right tiles out side of Changsha in all my games I have not been defended as the troops were assigned to Shanghai (also defend Changde in hunan). And after this start building forts go with two forts for normal tiles then 5 for important tiles or the ones getting attacked the the most. Then after all that increase fort level or start building supply hubs in areas that you want to attack from (as supplies are a bi-.)as long as you have civil war fervour (I have not seen it in the spirits but only in the construction tab, it gives +50% construction speed). Shanghai: micromanaging hellhole Assign Li’s army to defend three tiles the right of Hangzhou, the one after that and then Shanghai itself. The middle tile should face considerably less heat from the PRC, any divs that could not make it to Shanghai can go to it by sea. choose fortify Shanghai to remove 10 days from the mission. In the defence the tile next to Hangzhou and Shanghai itself will be under heavy fire with three directions for the left tile and two for Shanghai. The middle when attacked or not should hold relatively well and use it to reinforce everyone else. Congrats you have successfully stopped the darn commies from entering the city! 🎉 woohoo. Now the slog begins Here in Shanghai now you have two options Evacuate or push Evacuate:as name implies. Use the 72 divs (if your lucky) and reinforce the mainland defence Push/breakout (really hard and may not be effective): If you have enough org in the centre (or any tile) tile then try to attack the enemy when there’s a break (breaks can last at times some milliseconds before the next attack so be careful). If you are successful attack almost every tile before the enemy attacks you, if once again you are successful then push harder until nanjing or until there is enough breathing room for your troops. After that attack nanjing, then go south until ningbo or wenzhou (if it is possible). Then halt and allow them to bash their heads against your walls and build forts. The great offensive: now choose whatever you see fit: I have not gotten farther than the mainland defence and evacuation in this sub mod due to how bad your regular units and supplies are. So it’s up to you on how your gonna solve this. Without submod: I’m too tired to care so search on KZfaq for better understanding and for some reason breaking out of Shanghai is easier without the submod? So yeah. I might have wasted my time writing this but I don’t care. Have good day and continue making these awesome videos.

Bro Saint Michael is crazy 😭

love this guys vids, very exited to see what comes next

One of my favorite videos to watch on your Channel Finally I was starting to miss the old world blue I hope you can still make more videos about old World blue.

Great video as always, well told and skillfully mixing gameplay with narration. I must admit that the “sisters of steel” present in the video piqued my curiosity.

I’m calling for 100k subscribers this man deserves it for his animation great use of music and storytelling/gameplay

Just wanna say that I'm fan of your content. Storytelling is engaging while utilising all the nerd stuff of hoi4 like the fun of map painting, army expanding and getting great buffs from focuses. Also lots of love for playing owb which is the funniest of all hoi4 mods, fallout bias here. Thank you for fun, nerdy video. Can't wait for another!

W Video Heavens gate was the first nation I managed to get very large with

Haha, seems my wish has been full field. Video going hard as always, waiting for Kermerovo next :-)

Keep It up man the video are only improving cant wait for the next One 👍

I love and hate the Fallout Mod for HoI4. It's One of those mods that intriduces way too many new mechanics that need to be learned and addressed. But I wouldn't have learned about the Heaven's Gate Faction in Fallout if it weren't for this mod. The only thing that would have perfected this video is the usage of Far Cry 5's Songs from Eden's Gate. But I know that wouldn't be an option because of copyright. In general, I love how you use Countryballs and many other games items, soundeffects and easter eggs to visualize the stories you play out. I have always wanted people to do that and the only other person I found who does something similar (excluding all the Countryball Alternate History or Future Channels) is Bokoen. Thank you for your good content. Hope to see you rise even higher. Maybe you'll ascend beyond the heavens into the Void of Space.

1 month and 3 weeks of requesting Swinceball to play Sverdlovsk and do the Batov's path

Heh. I would genuinely love a part 2 of this. See you conquering the map, maybe using allow diplo to speed it up? But this is one of my favorite factions so thank you!

The rizzler uploaded again! Les goooooo!

Under 1hour NICE

I recognize most of those cities because I grew up in the area

I love your videos, i recently staryted watching them and they are really entertaining

Great video,The gigachad of hoi4 youtuber🥶🥶

A Uk fuhrerreich series would be full of conquest, might be a good video

nice job as always swinceball

Week 11 of asking for canada gameplay in kiserrinch I'm still mad the fact on week 10 you played as Romania

What a nice group of people, I hope they won’t start persecuting people for being part of different branches of Christianity.

Can’t expect God to do all the work. *glowing eyes*

I love when swinceball uploads

They Lost Their Way in God....

I love watching your videos you got me into hoi4 thanks

I love these videos, and I kept saying east coast blues when it was east coast rebirth, I’m not familiar with some mod names but I had to look that one up to find the proper name,

Watching this playthrough with Sabaton the last stand deus vult it's a blast

This made my day. Nuclear wasteland crusade goes hard. Maybe you should play as lone star next? Or maybe the Texan brotherhood

Please play Brazil in Kaiserreich, TNO or Millennium dawn. Very cool video, btw.

Nah. Baptizing with boiling water is absolutely wild

"Wake up, swinceball has uploaded!"

This nation is sleeper OP, their buffed energy weapon variants are amazing and they have pretty much unlimited population because they have really good compliance buffs

you should do the Joshua graham path next, its really fun, if the Californian civil war happens you can even join the California ways special faction

I'd like to imagine this faction listens to only Johnny Cash songs

Hey could you do a Germany style Mega Champaign except it’s with America, HOI41444, WW1, Then a random fallout faction? Or some other Mega Champaign because the last one was so cool!

There is a mod called "North America Divided" and if you play as Utah and go far left, You can turn Utah into an Extremist Theocratic empire, kinda like this.

The Garrisons eating away at your manpower is always the worst part.

aight here we go, gonna shoot mah shot,try out some more of that mlp hoi4 mod stiff else maybe give the roach king a try, hes a silly roach guy, also i really enjoyed the eureka enclave path and the texan economic union is lierally todd howard land so its fun too. also thanks for doing a vid on romania i have fulfilled my purpose!

I love your videos! You should teach me how to play as the Maxon Expedition in Colorado - I always lose :(

Swince's most blessed video ever

the GOAT Is back making videos (you should play Magadan again btw but go down the werbell path)

I shall watch this intriguing video tomorrow

we can't expect god to do all the work : the game

"If there will be an apocalypse, Jesus Christ will Come To Us. To see us."

i think the troll warren would be a great nation to play next in owb, it's tiny, but has you conquer a lot and has a great story. :D

Honey Wake up swince ball uploaded

In my time of playing hoi4 owb I think that loid ministry was the nation that I had the most fun with the tank brigade path because of how good the tanks are.

It's my head-canon that Saint Michael wears Nike decade's

Still waiting for more American fallout to expand east to the coast

I now really want you to play Pride and Fall

Spreading the steam

I love the leap cycle 7:38

Some advice Swince, every terrain in OWB has a combat width of 60, so 20w divisions are still optimal in OWB. I mention this because of your 22.5w PA divs which may cause issues in other playthroughs

Oh, God doesn't need to throw rocks at use if he just erases any traces of life with the tsar Bomba times 10

Damn, the Master was back along too

also give republic of the Rio Grande a try if you go the Rosa route you can do some fun stuff with Tlalocan and even enslave the AI itself!

"They will be forgiven and then baptized in boiling water so they can travel to heaven and beg for forgiveness there." - Swinceball quote of the century

God this faction seems so much like the Malita from days Gone

Of course blud makes an OWB video as soon as I get into my fallout phase.

Yet another hoi4 masterpiece.

Patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for swinceball to do a America TNO playthrough for the 23nd time

The country should really be called the nation of kettles😂

These modded runs are my favorite of yours. Please give the chinese faction a look in this one!!! I haven't seen anyone play them yet

20:50 Maximiliano was busy eh
