As someone who doesn't have any DLC, my HOI4 has basically devolved into a Kaiserreich launcher.

Every video you post, just remember your one step closer to playing yemen

Imagine the look on all of the Japanese militarists'' faces when their hard work to give power back to the emperor is thwarted by a wacky ad campaign funded by Panama.

I know I’m crying, I’ll miss the hell known as “Central America”.

I see HOI 4 uses the Civilization formula for difficulty, "nah, let's not make the AI smarter, just give them a fuckton of buffs, that'll do it".

Those stripes at 4:20 are the old border conflict mechanic that was reworked in Waking the Tiger

Isp: Constantly spams Communist revolt in China Chaing Hai-Shek: I am just uniting my country wait is happening

Remember that Slovakia is a starting nation in the 1939 scenario

ISP: "These are definitely tears of sadness" Wait till you have to enjoy the absolute masterpiece that is Tannu Tuva gravy father, and also I only play without DLCs even if I have them all just because so I can sometimes have a smooth playthrough without any lag or whatsover till 1939

Sires, Shear a tear and pay a minute of silence for the ending of the central-American saga.

As someone who played Hoi IV without DLC for over a year, I consider myself a Chad

The funniest thing about the chinese civil war in this video is that it is actually historically accurate

2:15 there has never been a more perfect summary of what my country is.

I like how Panama's communist flag is just their normal flag but with dark mode on

"Who are you?" "The People's Republic of China" "Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down!?"

Don't have DLCs, I pretty much just play mods. Issue is, almost all mods have functions from the DLCs, so yeah. Seems like most people treat the game as if the DLCs are required content.

I played with no DLCs for a really long time(like, three years, actually) but I finally caved about a year ago and got La Resistance and Waking the Tiger just so I could have a little bit more to do lmao. I mostly just play with mods anyways so it never really bothered me, especially since most of the mods were total overhauls or really dumb like the Eggman Empire.

2:16 - 2:32 as a panamenian, this is so hilariusly true

I have no dlc, and i just turned the miedzymorze from sea to sea into ocean to ocean. Iberia to Japan. Atlantic to Pacific. Im remarkably proud of it.

I like how Paradox at least had the decency to update the base game with new features, in other to make it playable

How many times you united central America? ISP after this series: *YES*

Hyped for Portugal, its a nation i have played an unreasonable amount

0:25, I'm British and I didn't even notice he was pronouncing A to Z incorrectly, I must repent by sacrificing 12 bags of Yorkshire gold to the alter of the Queen, and pray to Jeremy Clarkson for forgiveness.

Before I bought la resistance during the winter sale, I had basically all the other dlcs (except no step back, too expensive for now). I had been very confused why you haven't used the boost party popularity thing before. But, now it all makes sense. I play mainly Austro-Hungary, and it is the only way to get the Czechs to fully annex without fail.

Oh no, it's the last country in Central America 😢

Damn isorrow is definitely suffering from the mind goblin

When I first bought the game and didn't have the DLCS, me and my friend kept doing this in a multiplayer game. Our faction was fascist so we kept doing coups, but every uprising just joined axis, who we were at war with, so we had to squash our own revolutions. The greatest threat to the BALS alliance as it seemed, was ourselves.

Back in the day; there was a mod that increased the boost part ideology insanely fast. Like a month and the target country was flipped completely. It was so fun hitting the US/USSR/EUed Germany with a Civil War.

I play with no DLC because I enjoy the game, but I’m on minimum wage and can’t really afford the DLCs. Vanilla HOI4 was a birthday present. It’s not awful, but there’s definitely a sense of “the real party’s two streets over”.

Honestly tho no other place in the world could have been so unstable that a banana company controlled their political system. R.I.P Central America A-Z, you will be missed!

Also, Manage Subjects becomes available with any DLC that creates a unique puppet type. Together for Victory or Waking the Tiger both give you the ability to annex puppets.

As a person with no DLC (but with a whole lot of mods) this is an epic video and you should all like it

I've been playing without DLC since release. Worse: I like the game in this state. Mum says I'm special. Now give me the glue you promised, ah you didn't promise anything? Well shit.

currently doing a democratic germany game with the only dlc being waking the tiger, so yeah my setup's pretty cursed

It’s kind of cool the amount of influence and chaos you can cause even though your country is small.

As someone who recently purchased HOI4 without any DLCs in my first play through I averted going to war even though the Allies declared war on the Soviets. I eventually created my faction “The European Union” and warred with the Comintern only to capitulate to a faction less Netherlands. Still learning!

I play hoi4 with no dlc’s but I mostly just play with mods as the solution

DLCs are too expensive for me, so I have been playing Vanilla since I bought the game. It makes me feel great how people who play HOI4 with DLCs go crazy when they try Vanilla. :)

Best hoi4 setup man the guns, waking the tiger, eastern planes pack, axis armour pack, radio pack and allied speeches. You can’t change my mind

C&C generals nostalgia moment when he said China will grow larger

I've been playing without DLC's for a few years, it's a bit limiting sometimes when you want to annex subjects, use their manpower, give generals traits but there's a lot of great mods so it doesn't really matter all that much.

The manage subject is added with the "Death or Dishonor" DLC, you know the one that permits you to desintegrate Yugoslavia into thousands of puppet states so the balcans are more chaotic

“You’re looking a little…red there” a call back to one of your old Switzerland videos?

Anyone remember when ISP promised us another Bo collab if he reached 650k? i just think it should happen more often as the dynamic between both is hilarious, especially in other games

I just realized the Ironside intro is gone

I remember how I was mad when they introduce the spy, because I always hate the ''micro science management' in Hoi4 like create your own ships, planes or now with the tanks... I prefer to play with the focus tree and fight.

This is the greatest A to Z video.

THAT CHURCHILL IMPRESSION AT 9:28 I’M CRYING

I play without DLC. And I have to say that I usually play with mod. Also is "fun" playing unhistorical: nothing change expect for some events

I have absolutely no DLCs. I'm an agent of chaos.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Mao constantly pop back up. Just like real life!

As someone who owns base HOI4 with only no DLC I only have it to download Workshop mods. I play the game pirated with all DLCs and it works having mods from workshop on pirated versions if you also have the game on Steam no DLC required.

Paraguay in Kaiserredux can get Huey Long Dong in charge if I remember correctly. Maybe you could do that for your mandatory South American suffering time.

Ah yes, being iSorrowproductions; a fate worse than death

09:27 - Best Churchill impression ever!

Man the guns, allied speeches pack and together for victory

Harry Truman is absolutely fuming in his grave at the sight of this video.

This is a certified hood classic

1:50 death or dishonour together for victory and no step back

As you asked, I currently own: "Anniversary Pack" (2016) "Poland - United and Ready" (2016) "Rocket Launcher Unit Pack" (2016) "Allied Armor Pack" (2017) "British. French, German, Soviet, US Tanks Unit Pack(s)" (2017) "Heavy Cruisers Unit Pack" (2017) "Colonel Edition Upgrade Pack" (2017) "Death Or Dishonor" (2017) "Together for Victory" (2017) I bought the game shortly after it came out and then upgraded once later on. I also have 201,5 hours on the game and don't know what the hell I'm doing. I just recently completely died playing the USA before WW2 started...

That impression of Churchill killed me 9:26

Hey ISP, I went to bed and woke up with no memory of it, when I checked my history I had watched 2hours of your videos while half asleep, after a panic attack I said "ooh, new ISP video"

9:27 best Churchill impression

Don't worry ISP, if your tired of road to 56 you can always try calm before the storm, plus endsieg.

6:00 - Sijibaldi there is clearly Tom Selleck having an serious peanut reaction.

ISP out here making some NEW Panama Papers, and these have big hammers and sickles on them!

1:36 A few months ago when I started playing, the only mods I had were "Death or Dishonor" and "Battle of the Bosphorus", since they are the cheapest. Also at 3:38 while "Start Lend lease" is a free feature, requesting it isn't, so no.

Arms against tyranny, No step back, and battle for the Bosporus

French soldier: "He wants us to overthrow our government and doesn't offer anything". French politician: "His mustache is pretty nice though".

Normal people: Chage ideology thru war ISP: *boost party popularity*

Panama in this was like you need stability yes how about no

I used to have no dlc and played that way for about a year but a month ago I bought all the dlc on sale and it makes the game so much better

You can use Road to 56 Beta, it works well enough for the next countries

As someone who has had Hoi4 for little to no time, i only have Waking the Tiger and I recently bought La Resistance.

He is getting closer and closer to triple insanity

America said one day "Hey Panama I got an idea on how we can spice up our relationship, have you ever tried canal?"

I was a cursed Hoi 4 player for a while. I even liked trying to play Greece with a default focus tree (why did I do that to myself). A few weeks ago, I bought La Resistance, Battle for the Bosphorus, and Death or Dishonor. While I hate paradox has so many features locked behind a paywall, dlc definitely makes the game better.

Had none for a few years then got all of them but no step back during the winter sale

"I was gonna send a attache but that'll be $14.99 please, apparently"

I got the starter pack after 400 hours in hearts of iron. I wish I could take back the time I spent playing this game without any dlcs

I love watching eyesorrowproductions

Haven't gotten the NSB dlc, but I used to have none. I finally broke when the Tiger dlc came out.

This is literally how I play all the time, i just play mods to cope with my poverty

"finally a world where the italian tree reigns supreme!" unironically is right now

The coups in China are like that Simpsons meme where Moe throws Barney out of the bar but then he appears inside.

Even when I first bought the steam key from s third party website, with both DLC, I still didn't play vanilla. I just found as many mods as I could lol

Us: *crying over the end of central america Isp: my poor sensitive child, allow me to share in your sorrow.... YEAHHHHHH

Not Hoi4 but when I had EU4 for only two years, my dlc setup was: El Dorado, Conquest of Paradise, Wealth of Nations, and Res Publica.

Sees the portrait of the German leader. *_A new challenger approaches_*

I have no DLC, and have only ever actually played a single game of HOI4. I played as Italy. Best focus tree I've ever played.

Just so people know, if you stage a coup in a country, the number of people in the opposing country that support other ideologies increases, so you can stage a coup in another party, increasing the number of people in the party you actually want to support, and if they inevitably lose, you have a bit of an advantage

I only legitimately have Man the Guns and La Resistance but there’s this amazing thing called crime

Im gonna send this video to the CPC and say this was the true War of Unification

2:00 Yeah, I remember back when the difficulties were updated and the same thing happened to you, but you noticed it and said "Did they give me Drew's copy?"

For the longest time, the only dlc I had was Together for Victory. Then I realized my life was sadness and I started slowly buying the rest.

9:47 Oh my dude red and blue is exactly how the american two party system is.

I used to play with no DLCs, but mainly did multiplayer and the host had all the DLCs anyway, then I got TFV, DOD and WTT and those are the ones I still have today

Chang kai shek: how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man

ISP: This is cursed! Me with 1500 hours no DLC: What is?

Those new portraits added to south america will actually change expressions if you assign them to an army or navy and it is horrifying to see happen.
