Achieving victory in the Balkan Wars as Bulgaria | Hearts of Iron IV 

Least broken Great War Redux game

Carries the whole war effort, gets Thessaloniki stolen and is cucked out of Constantinople by Britain

bulgaria will invent fascism after that

Bro got Italy'd

This video showed a VERY BIG flaw of The Great War Redux: you are "punished" sometimes if you don't follow what happened historically (unless if you play a major). Let's see what went wrong with this gameplay: - The reason the Ottomans didn't sue for peace like the others is simple: they were not in a faction and you aren't supposed to win the Second Balkan War. You saw it, you captured Constantinople and appearently it wasn't enough for them to ask for peace, which is totally bullshit. Hell, even in Kaiserreich you get an event for making peace with the Ottoman Empire after taking their capital. So essentially you are stuck in a war with a nation that, even with infinite problems, is big, has loads of divisions and can join the Central Powers like if nothing happened. - With no choice, you joined the Entente and with that, other problems happened. The game completely ignored the fact you defeated the Balkan nations and let France take Thessaloniki. Greece lost territory, but the game still considered that city part for the nation (because that's what was SUPPOSED to happen) so that happened anyway. Also, Italy did occupy that Albanian port, don't really know why, I guess it has to do with Austria-Hungary. So, in conclusion, what's the point of trying to form Byzantium? The game doesn't offer war goals to annex the nations, you get territory stolen form others because whatever and there's simply no way to form it without cheating. All because you didn't lose the war you were supposed to. What a shame.

This mod could be Soo good only if they made it work the way it should

Bruh you lost more land than you gained. If only the Great War Redux was more balanced or actually properly updated to the new version.

I tried to do similar path, here's how it went: 1st balkan war (1912) - easy, just take Constantinopole (i usually do a straight-away naval landing on tiles behind the city so that turks can't reinforce shit). 2nd balkan war (1913) - hold all lines until Romania and Ottomans declare war, push out Ottomans from balkans - they usually sign a white peace. INSANELY IMPORTANT: while controlling Constantinopole, you'd get around a day before a peace with Ottomans fire. Use that time to cross the straits to have some ships in the Aegean sea. (it's also crucial that after 1st balkan war, you do focus Mediterrean sea access, or build a port anywhere in there) Now once Ottomans are out, and since Romania is not a major, all that is left is Greece and Serbia, which isn't that difficult, but requires some micro. A regular peace deal should trigger, allowing you to annex all. If you don't finish this one before WW1, then it's best to restart. 3rd war: Bulgarian-Ottoman war (1914) - after you are done with 2nd balkan war, only then do the focus to reclaim Constantinopole. The ottomans during this war will not have any decision. It's very hard to push across straits, so I tried naval landings in several locations - Jerusalem and Adana worked best. Try to open as many fronts as possible, however, you only have one shot at a naval landing (since after that you won't have any naval supremacy). Capitulate Ottomans, take all in the peace deal, and restore Byzantine Empire. After that, build up your army a little bit, and you are good to go to determine the outcome of the war for either side. From 12 playthroughs, I managed to win the third war vs. Ottomans twice, but it is doable.

Danke dass du Bulgarien in Great War Redux endlich spielst!

Ahistorical Bulgaria is so broken 💔 I reported all the bugs you encountered months ago and yet they are not fixed. That's why I won't play this mod ever again. It's a pity, cuz ww1 scenario is solid idea, but the mod is buggy af and no maintenance is performed...

I have traumas as Bulgaria myself, winning both wars and being forced into the entente cuz the ottomans won’t surrender

you should play with the state transfer tool or use console commands once you are locked out of content

10:25 that's because you're in the Entente, so members get the leader's (democratic) war goal rules

Here's a tip for the second balkan war if you decide to try again: just ignore Romania and make a breakthrough in Serbia. You can then snake VPs in Serbia and Greece which causes the whole faction to capitulate and makes it possible to form Byzantium by 1915.

Bruh what a shame you couldn't form Byzantium. Not even mentioning you lost land after the war that you won

very good videos

Great war redux needs some serious reworks bro, look at this broken mess 💀
