Congratulations on getting it done! This is by no means an easy challenge, even following my guide :) It really requires a lot of attention to detail, micro skill and resilience to not give up after the AI does stupid things like random guarantees that shouldn't happen. A few things I'd like to discuss about the video:

2:21 - Quality of ships DOES matter, a good battleship could provide 4 or 5 times more naval supremacy than a basic sub. The reason for going for sub 1 is that they are way more cost efficient, as they provide more naval supremacy per IC, I explain this in further detail in my video :)

I think joining the Axis to invade UK is an interesting an idea, but a very risky one at that. Yes, it does allow you to skip the war against Spain, but at the cost of relying a bit too much in the AI, since the North Sea tends to be more guarded than the Western Approaches and you rely on the German navy not being obliterated and helping you out, and also, it gives Italy the option to be free of your chains and go wild in Africa, creating a lot more warscore and risking your options of getting the territories you need in the peace deal since they also occupy it. But then again it might be that I have been screwed one too many times by the AI to place any reliance on it :D

And finally, about the Yugo peace deal, I wholeheartedly recommend to not leave any form of Yugo or Serbia alive and being your puppet unless of course you are completely commited to follow the Axis strategy and stay with them for the rest of the game. Germany WILL declare on you because of this, every single time, given the opportunity. It's better to just annex them, you won't hurt your manpower on resistance because as soon as you get Romania and puppet them, you can get garrison support and they'll give you enough to not use any of your own. Also, nicer borders :)

Great video!

23:00
Royal navy: Hey what are doing in our waters?
Greek Destroyers: We're laying mines
Royal navy: ...why?
Greek Destroyers: because we're at war with Bulgaria
Royal navy: understandable have a great day

A reminder: Alexander the Great conquered all this in only 12 years, and this was before modern transportation (Obviously).

The most disappointing part about naval invading hull in all of the UK invasion is not one time I’ve seen a joke about breaching the hull, it makes so much sense but I’ve never heard one

Love it, because bittersteel feels like it requires the most skill because he doesn’t do crazy cheats or exploits and is efficient while doing it

37:09 "We are immediately going to improve opinion with soviets" presses justify war goal

Came not at the call of the bell, but at the call of my heart

Finally someoene covers this everyone else just does byzantium and the ottoman empire

The new DLC is just broken, if you do the investment options as Turkey most of the time the "AI" doesn't respond or you get the event months or even years later. Especially Turkey's focus tree has a lot of events where the AI has to respond and just doesn't want to do it haha

Fun fact: this formable is literally just the Persia one, except you have cores on Greece because you already start with them

Bitter, you make me suffer so much. Because of you, instead of playing majors on the beginning (100h in game?), I play minors to watch the world burn and tear apart all these pesky commies and painters with moustaches.
Great respect to you from Polandball for top-quality content.

POLAND CAN INTO SPACE!

Wow, originallity in HOI4? Now, I've seen it all.

I like how they make you earn it, like Alexander did. With superior soldiers and tactics, from little Greece to big Empire.

Although, I'd like to be able to grow it little by little like the bizantines, because you are very limited in manpower.

I saw greece and I tapped the notification at light speed

After Greece, I have a real challenge for you. Their archnemesis for thousand of years. The persian Empire, but with a twist ! You got to stay non aligned, to keep the Pahlavi dynasty in power ! :D

I like the description lol

“Now with up to 200% more debt!”

Does it bother anyone else that he didn't capture Cyprus?

19:03 there is also option that leads to "Spazio Vitae" (Italy creates faction and greece instantly joins)

The Persians: "How does this Alexander guy keep moving so fast?!"

Alexander the Great at 300ms:
"Goddamn shitbox."

Btw i tried this once in my runs but even if you go for the Metaxism focuses and you change to Mercouris, you lose those good bonuses too, so you aren't really sacrificing those great bonuses for time's sake.
