ISP thinks we forgot about Achievment hunting

“Almost in Working Order” seems like a good series title tbh

> "Relieved the Siege of Leningrad!"
> Shows Stalingrad

This game has really taken its toll on your brainfunction.

Just call the series "A Retrospective of the rarely used Gameplay Mechanics of Alternative Focus Trees within the Video Game Referred to as "Hearts of Iron 4", released by the Swedish video game developer and publisher Paradox Interactive, based out of Stockholm."

Really rolls off the tongue.

Sevond video of the series and you CHEATED

5:15 The hilarious thing is that they had to go back and add that in after No Step Back which added railroads. They changed whatever it was originally (probably infrastructure?) To be something more worthless.

Glory to the People’s republic of Up-Above

Nobody has ever played Australia? I can believe that.

RALLY BEHIND THE RAT :_ISPRat:

9:56 Brazil invading Italy is actually historically accurate, Brazilian troops fought almost entirely in the Italian campaign irl.

Forgotten Focuses could be a decent name for the series

Australia tree is just "the illusion of choice, you will fight Japan"

you have a mouse
i have a cat
all in all
WE WANT THE RAT

Call it ‘Hoi4 A2Z: the focuses strike back’

I have a dirty confession, communist australia is probably my most played path in vanilla hoi4, spam agency, get collab on Dutch East Indies, invade the Netherlands from the soviets, collab siam big SEA empire before japan good times

The focus tree makes me want to toaster bath

As an Australian, I have also never played Australia. OK maybe once, but yeah. The tree is garbage, and the fact that it's not even that historically accurate is pretty annoying. John Curtin wasn't our PM until 1941, and he died 4 years later. The sad thing is, I actually think there's a lot of decent potential for Australia. You could have the Dalfram dispute, where Menzies came into conflict with trade unionists who refused to load pig iron bound for Japan during its war with China. You could have it escalate into a conflict between the UAP/Country Party Coalition where you could stay democratic or slowly increase support for Japan until you become fascist and the trade unions where you could get the Labor Party early or keep going until you become communist. Anything better than "Oh you can fight Japan and ask for New Zealand" five different times.

Whoa there buddy, New Zealand actually has a formable, and the mighty Bob Semple.

Petition for ISP to play Syndicalist Italy/Roman Empire in Kaiserredux Day 39

As an Aussie, why the hell isn't all of the steel in the south, Whyalla is the biggest exporter of steel in the country and was second biggest in the world at one point.

4:36 That really makes no sense, considering that the Royal Australian Air Force was founded all the way back in 1921. They did have planes, too, just no homemade ones until 1936.
