By Beer alone will Germany TRIUMPH! HoI4 Achievement guide 

I wish people would stop promoting Established Titles. It's a scam. I know it looks real, but multiple people have looked into it. The company is based in Hong Kong. The government in Scotland does not recognize the legitimacy of these titles.

Established Titles is a Hong Kong based company that doesn't actually own any land in Scotland. It isn't a gag gift, it's actually a scam.

Bitt3rSteel video be like: Act 1: "This is gonna be really difficult / This is gonna be easy, so I'll set challenge X for myself" Act 2: "Thank you to todays sponsor X" Act 3: "I know, I shouldn't build these ships" Act 4: "As for country X, take all of it" Act 5: "OMG what happened? I messed up guys..." Act 6: * Game does something stupid * "I'm so annoyed right now" Act 7: "Look at these encirclements" Act 8: "We are now strong enough to take on anyone in our path / We rule the world now"

Cloaks meta is mostly meant for MP. He mentions another thing though, CVs are back build them and go for the biggest deck possible.

A side note: if you start justifying on Ireland, begin the Civil War and then declare on Ireland, they will actually join the Axis, so when you win the war, you can actually annex them without bothering with an invasion in the first place. Just a neat thing I've noticed when going for this achievement; maybe it'll help someone else out there as well. (Oh, and the video itself is pretty fun ^^)

Bittersteel: Bulgaria... what are you doing!? Bulgaria: Just solving the Transylvanian dispute.

Germany should do this, monopolize the beer market

This game is a perfect example of why the player led peace conference exists

This looks really nice! Btw, if in the peace deal with the Allies you can get the British or French colonies in the Caribbean, you can probably also get the "Our Other Place in the Sun" achievement

The naval meta is Carrier my friend. 71cloack made a video on the cheapest way possible to beat the UK fleet, try that.

when sending lend lease, just click the little warehouse button next to number input to send all :D

I love your guides, very informative. I discovered your channel a few months ago and it literally helped me learn how to play. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Regarding the navy: You should put your navy on high risk/always engage. Your ships are disengaging way to early (nearly always the moment the battle begins), because you are at medium risk and the UK fleet is much larger than yours.

a) Titles in the UK are granted to the owner of the entire estate not some subset of the estate and b) Land sales beneath a certain size aren't recognised by the planning department

Through beer alone we will rule!

Just bought some of your country ball stickers. Love the vids. 🎉

So I did some research on which is more optimal: tanks early or improving the industry. Important to note that before NSB treaty with the USSR gave Germany a 2.0 year ahead of time penalty reduction on 1940 medium tanks. Now it only gives a 100% research booster. So by going the route you did and rushing tanks you can start researching the mediums and it would take about 530 days (with designer). However if you go for 4 year plan -> Autarky -> both of the civ focuses -> Army innovations -> by the time you finish treaty with the USSR it would take 469 days to research the mediums (with designer). If you spend 140 days doing the civ focuses it would only take 79 days longer to research the tanks due to the ahead of time penalty. Going for civs is at least in my books better because with the tank path you're losing 12 civs worth of industry for 140 days (army innovations + treaty with USSR) but you're not getting the tanks that much earlier.

Idk why but The german civilwar for me is surprisingly hard. Never managed to ever hold southern Germany (despite having same amounts of units), and I really couldn't progress much in north either. No matter I battleplanned or micro'd it just wont work for me. Had to keep all units and fight a long micro war to win

I think the meta for medium tanks is and improved medium cannon, which you get the from fourth at research. 3 man turrent best radio 3 light machine guns 9 speed and and the basic medium tank chassis. It costs like 11.52 ic or something like that

Not gonna say it is the META but when i was trying to build ships ive always built the Super heavy battleship with best batteries and best radar i have. I manage to build just one or two until the beginning of the war as Germany but you know, quality over quantity and i put my submarines on convoy raiding in English channel with always engage as well as my ships in strike force. And when the engagement starts at the end my ships managed to sink half of the royal navy just by the super heavy battleship. You should try it.

There is actually a bug with justification now where you do not need positive pp to continue justifying. It will throw the alert to warn you that it is not progressing but when you look at the timer it is progressing.

Regarding naval meta: Just spam early cruiser hulls or '36 cruisers with armor 3, and max light attack (and AA). Make sure to put them on always engage and you are golden. Done by EfficientStrategyGaming, and seems to work reasonably well. Or just spam Carriers, they are OP again.

I believe i cheesed so hard this one, I puppeted ireland in 1936, rushed fate of czechoslovakia, dismantled axis and joined japan faction

I love how his plan involves going around and beating up all the old allies.

You lost due to Carriers being verry strong, carrier bombers get a massive dmg bonus and is worth using now sinds it has been fixed after a long time of being broken and not working properly

I think the issue with your navy was just air, you need more planes up for the carriers and RAF. It worked out fine though

I love how the navy being built is always a running gag. It is very fitting because I tend to forget to use my navy.

Ahh yes the Pax Germania fuelled entirely desire of Wehrmacht Officers to monopolize the Beer market Truly a great chapter in our history books

Heavy Cruiser is only meta if your fleet is saturated with carriers(4 is the practical maximum) because adding more carriers does not add more naval damage potential wheras adding more of any other ship does(they are not softcapped) If you have no carriers, it's in vain; enemy carriers can just rape your heavy cruisers anyways. Build carriers

I'd wager that your ships were primarily sunk by the enemy's aircraft. 71Cloak's guide is great but I'd always add AA and upgrade the secondaries to dual-purpose whenever you can. I'm also not convinced about the wisdom of forgoing torpedoes on your destroyers for such little cost savings.

one thing i like to do with major powers in peace deals is to first select all and then deselect the mainland so i can get all the colonial land for myself, after that i like to rub some salt in the wound by disuniting the mainland. sadly it seems that the new patch doesn't let me divide the land between my new puppets which does make for some disgusting borders.

What an amazing video, by the way, from were are you? Im from Liverpool.

27:30 anybody else notice the Italian camel divisions in snowy Poland? 😂🥶🐫

I havent watched that far into the video, but theres an even easier way to do this. Budweis is taken by fate of czechoslovakia, guiness can be taken after the war quite easily, and by disbanding your faction and joining Japans you can get tsingtao by Japan, easy. I combined it with sealion and some other achievments in my own run

Not going to lie this achievement was the easiest among the BBA achievements. Play Hist attack and puppet ireland, do sudetenland and then join Japan. Wow

I love your videos. Like seriously for a guy like me they are so fun to warch

Awesome video like always! I was thinking about getting BBA but i'm not completely sure... Do you think that it's a good DLC? Thanks

Try using carriers they are kinda op

I really like this guide, its very helpful, and I love this channel, but trying to replicate the run, with the new updates, change a bit the strategy, now even being a brown country, you have to be in 70 percent of global tension to send equipment to Spain, or at least, send volunteers and then send the equipment, but you still have to fight the divisions on the civil war. (sorry for my English, not my first language)

"every excuse to play Germany is an excellent excuse" never heard anyone say something more true

Would this strategy also work with getting the Kaiserin Victoria? Or does the timeline / timing not fit? Cheers.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen bittersteel be so upset over a Hoi4 game as when his navy was destroyed lmao

Oddly enough, I got this achivement doing a world conquest

I know how to start every single German civil war with 36 divisions for the monarchists vs 24 divisions for the Reich. Idk if its a bug but you can place all your divisions on area defense on a single tile in the far bottom left corner where Germany, France, and Switzerland all share borders. Than, when the war starts, as usual each Germany gets 24 divisions on a front together. But with 14 extra divisions that you had on area defense still in that bottom corner.

About the return of kaiser once the netherlands denied it and i managed to get more colonies XD

I like how you basically conquered the entire world in a video about an easy achievement

2:31 bitt3rsteal lol

4:02 “…I have a special place in my heart for these ships…” Shikikan Bittersteel when

Wizard. Great lessons. Maybe teach us next time how many divs you need to invade USSR for your tanks vs supporting infantry.

Awesome as always

Is that possible to release it like old duration, for example 45 mins long video? Or 1 hour long video? Thank you ~

Established Titles has become the new Raid Shadow Legends, they're everywhere :D

At the risk of being a broken record player: 71Cloak discovered that CVs are the new Meta. Even 4 little converted cruiser hulls will curb stomp any navy you fight against.

Yo bitt3rsteel one thing i do with my tanks in single player instead of 2 mgs i add 1 armour skirts and stab if u got it otherwise smoke launchers

Man this game was full of sidequests for our man to do.

Can you do a guide for australia

it feels odd to see some By Blood Alone mechanics, but not some others. like the Tank reasearch page is completely different

0:40 When the treaty of Versailles makes germany want vengeance without invading half of europe

Damn you bittersteel, I lost NNN to the imperial Germany borders in this video.

Me having flashbacks to when Spiff exploited the sponsor's website. Gosh that was fun XD

I have a question regarding tanks. How worth it is to research 40-42 mediums when it only adds reliability and i believe a little bit of armour? Is the production cost worth it? Talking from a single player perspective

i’m hoping you can revive the mongolian empire in one of your future videos🥺

wow i had never notice that bro

The part with Bulgaria make me laugh

你的CA沒有裝甲跟AA，所以遇上輕型砲也會輕易的被摧毀，更不用說海軍轟炸機 DD也是完全沒有AA，所以會被飛機追好玩的 完全忘了，轟炸機對海軍有多大的威脅性

Sounds like you needed a beer alone. Pun implied.

Hey Bitt3rSteel I'm just wondering. I have all the DLC's installed but for some reason my Germany doesn't have 1934 Medium tanks. Is there a mod you have downloaded or am I doing something wrong?

The leader for German Ireland, William Norton, was leader of the Irish Labour Party from 1932 to 1960.

9:36 based

Can you do Chad or any Minor African nation as Africa independent or even Pakistan with the Raj Broken it would be nice to see a professional like you build Empires for minor/generic nations

You should do the achievement Race for Germany

They changed the % needed to do the lend lease now for spain it requires 70% instead of 15% as shown in the vod. Do you have a workaround for that by chance?

8:05 question. Why didn't you upgrade to total mobilization? i'm not really experienced in this game so i wouldn't know

19:34 forgot to give at least lvl1 armor for heavy cruisers

Bulgaria: *Grabs Transylvania* "This is mine now."

I did this in combination with Around Eurasia in 80 Days good strat

17:42 based

17:45 best part 😂😂🤣

Hey bittersteel, Im a navy guy and here is some info about why your fleet didn't do too well Most importantly, the British carriers tore you a new one. Carriers are incredibly powerful now and even in the hands of AI, they can and will ruin your day. Having green air is enough to prevent carrier naval bombers from taking off. Aside from that, you didn't have nearly enough heavy cruisers. Their battleships just tanked your heavy cruiser damage because they're battleships. You also had no light attack to deal with their screens. Lastly, retreating in a naval battle is basically the lose button. Always put your fleet on always engage and rather manually retreat if things start going wrong, when your navy retreats it basically goes stupid and you take alot of damage.

What is the DLC for that focus tree?

i got a beer ad before this video started

love your vids america comunnist

"we have fixed ireland" ulster volunteer force: TRADE DEAL: I get to: bomb your car You get: no more car

this is a bit late but you will have a hard time winning a naval battle when fighting against a navy with a carrier fleet without a carrier fleet of your own.

Do macau my day next

I usually wait for Japan to take the Shandong peninsula then ask them for Tsingtao. Rather not weaken Japan any way since they can draw alot of the Allies' manpower out to asia. Well if I haven't already taken care of the allies.

i got this achievment unintentionally as normal germany and i didn't know how

Hi bittersteel, i have some problem with the achievement as communist ethiopia, and controling the whole red sea shoreline

"It should be illegal to have this much fun." I'm pretty sure it was...

Bittersteel you're better than promoting a scam for money. At least I hope you really are.

Can any tell me what I’m doing wrong, whenever I set up a new air wing only 25 fighters get deployed not 100?

Danzig for guarantees only works when the guarantees are pre poli-russo war.

I was wondering why Bittersteel sounded drunk (covid recording on the good meds?) then I saw it was on 0.75% playback speed XD

"i intend to go empire germany and reform the central powers" based germany

maaaan you didnt take the best focuses on the tree until so late

Poland+King/Qeen+Jerusalim next please

I accidentally got this achievement by doing the new world order one

Yay new video

what is the mod called with that civil war

@Bitt3rSteel i did this achievment by defeating the allies and taking lienster then the soviets then i invaded china through russia your way is a lot more simple lol
