Hearts of Iron 4 Tutorial 🔴 How to Play HoI4 in Under 40 Minutes Guide! [No DLC] 

Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! I used 90 divisions to fight ussr and I lost lol

very very nice Video. But even better, what if it had categories

Which Paradox game would be a good one to start with if you don't want to buy a ton of dlc's? thanks

You should have said "Play Hearts of Iron "4" you" ;)

Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! Such a complicated game

Thanks! Mostly let's plays for the last 8 or so years, but I also do a lot of live streams and tips/guide videos.

saame

same man!

Same man

Saaaaame

Throws you into to the game, tells you how to move around and then you're Italy in a war with Ethiopia.

@@samwarren6008 And they dont even tell you on how to build your army properly

@@samwarren6008 seems historically accurate to me

So true.

@@samwarren6008 I couldn't even manage to get to the second part of the tutorial. Paradox tutorials are horrible. I figured everything on my own with online guides to learn how to play EU4 and I believe HOI4 will be added to that list too.

God bless RU-vidrs that cut to the chase.

200000000 subs With no vids 😂🤣

same lol

Same

I played as italy, im kind of winning in ethiopia, but 11 divisions cant even conquer a province with 4 division lmao, im attacking it from 3 sides, 1 tank division and nothing.

Be humble. I lost as Germany to the Netherlands...

I'm just really passionate about getting people into these games, so I want to make sure I help as much as I can. Lots of RU-vidrs don't reply to comments after this long because it's hard to keep up and you don't get paid for comments. I can respect that, they have things to do with their time, but personally I just really want to share games like this with people.

Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! Wow that shows commitment. Thanks

@@MahDryBread I bought Strllaris you have convinced me. Im going to buy this after federation comes out for stellarism

@@MahDryBread Change of plans already bought it.

@@MahDryBread I love these games but now i finally got it

For me: -train troops - build factories - research Then same, but with my allies (not with the Allies, but my allies)

Yeah I remember after doing tutorial first time, then jumping in feeling all cocky. Picked the Reich, researched, trained etc...got the Rhineland back, declared war on Netherlands and got my shit stomped by France and the UK. Probably should’ve thought about allies first. Plus I had every single division and armored vehicle, all lined up in the border. Was kind of funny thinking back on it.

@@nater3312 Wait you aren't suppose to put all of your divisions in one spot? oops

chewchewtrain how can I do that

Bc I don’t know much about it but it affects supply and attrition, the more units you have packed into one territory, the faster you’ll run out of supply and the faster they will get tired. That’s why when you fight on a bridge when you outnumber the enemy 10 to 1 you will most likely lose. It all depends on your divisions combat width but I barely know about that stuff it’s best to watch a video about this. I hope I helped clear some stuff up

Paradox tutorials are like chicos Tacos in El Paso. Everybody tells you to go there, its the best place ever. Its a must for every traveler or tourists. After you eat there and you get bloody runs. Those same people then tell you to "GTFO of El Paso. Never come back and take your pinche(fucking) diarrhea with you".

Paradox: Alright just keep your population over 0

Still remenber learning how to play HOI3, more complex than HOI 4 some years ago, and they didnt teach a F. Just was more like: this the window to make investigations, this the window for production,.... Have fun!😅 Thanks to the youtuber Marco Antonio, and another how show what does the little icons, currently a know a bit more (currently, playing as UK, defending succesfully France and kicking the Germán ass)

TF2 gameplay (the tutorials are meh)

Now, seriously, after a couple of hours i managed to wipe out UK, France and im planing to invade America (i used the berlin-moscow alliance)

thank you.

Thank you for the time stamps you are god my guy

thank you my lord

thank you kind sir

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

lmao,so true

MATHS IS INFINITELY HARDER

if math is infinitly hard and HOI is harder than math so how much hard is HOI?

bruh its not harder than math btw its easy for me now

That's what she said

You are correct that as complex as paradox games can be, they are nothing compared to the actual experience of that level of responsibility. The average person has no idea what actually goes into conducting a war... from any side, doesn't matter. To organize a war, the amount of preparation, manpower, workforce, trade/commerce considerations, politics, logistics, strategy, tactics, economics, are just a few of the variables that have to be contended with. Going to war is probably the most monumental and massive undertaking that humans can organize. Don't forget beyond that, all these guys were human too. They had family's with drama and relationship issues, depression, drug abuse, and all the normal difficulties of human life. Most people have trouble balancing their full time 40 hour work week with everything else. You begin to realize just how committed and engrossed in it all a man would have to be; to be a major leader in historical events like this... just... insane.

Amen brothers

That's why I love Paradox games, they put focus on historical situation as best as one can get with warfare. Heart of Iron is more of the military side, Supreme Ruler is more of the Civilian side. They do a good job and what running a country REALLY is like.

To be fair, games like these, while simplifying everything, still put you in the seat of the ultimate micromanager. Leaders like Stalin and Hitler in real life weren’t picking which things to research, or hand picking which factories will produce what. All of the things you do in this game as one person, in real life, are ordained by entire bureaucracies. While obviously it isn’t any easier in real life either, you at least have your one role that you do, and leave the rest to everybody else.

That's why Supreme Ruler is more accurate because you can literally play the game by doing nothing.

Rodguy for me Eu4 and every other paradox game is hard as fuck than hoi4

@Chilly Chick Mastering it is why it's hard. You could understand the basics of the game in 1 hour but people who played over 1000 hours are still called beginners by the masters who have put their life into the game. It's like learning how to play piano, the beginning might be easy for a lot of people but actually taking time to master the instrument will take many, many years.

@Chilly Chick You're super cool

Chilly Chick youre... uh.. chill.. lol

@Chilly Chick I love your calm and chill response

Can do! I'm just gonna wait for that next patch, it's looking like naval combat is gonna get overhauled along with adding fuel production to the game.

Yep. Naval video pleeze.

I know it's a must for a fascist usa.

@@MahDryBread Did this ever happen? I didn't see it in your videos and wanted to check and see. Cheers.

@@MahDryBread I still suck

Had that happen to me with Aurora 4x until the turns took way too long to load, and so I dumped it... now I'm here.

If you check out the description, you can find the playlist where I did a video just like this for Crusader Kings 2. I'm happy you enjoyed!

Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! Hey how do I make that line you did in the beginning?

@@nope7389 you must have forgot about this vidoe

@@ohdoggo3359 I'm 14 now. My mom died during the quarantine. I moved to a new state. I don't even have a computer anymore. How things change..

@@nope7389 sad man sad

Lies. He's gonna lose a lot of games.

I've never even played this game. Also, that's very admirable. Spending 18 hours per day on a single game. So mature.

go upload some more portal videos bitch

r/iamverysmart

Zaxio 005 ooh really hit me hard there by calling me a noob

YESSS

OMFG YES. IM NEW TO THE GAME AND I CANT EVEN TAKE A SINGLE PROVINCE. BUT WHEN I DO SO I LITERALLY CELEBRATE

Me too m8

Jack Cranmer I have over 300 hours and I still don't know how to play this game XD

It's absolutely cringy thinking you're good at the game with 100 hours.

100h is nothing lel

I have 200 hours I’m serious

And i got it 3 weeks ago

lol feels more like calculus imo

Thanks, I'm happy you found it helpful!

Im just starting, after 3 years i wanna know how youre doing ? games easy?

JESUS CHRIST AND HE HEARTS THE COMMENT FOUR YEARS LATER

@@iamboxboynooneelseisboxboy Hey I've gotta be here reading this stuff if I'm gonna keep helping people get into the game, right?

@@MahDryBread omg and a reply Also thanks, I’m getting pretty alright at HOI4 now, only about 200 hours in lol

I'm happy to help!

That's awesome!

It is so cool and awesome how are you responding 5 years later you are the best ever and your tutorial are amazing you earned a like ​@@MahDryBread

well you dont need a video for that. Until the new navy update comes out, there is literally no reason to build anything else but battleships and carriers. Unless you just need to quickly get coverage for a naval invasion, then just build some subs.

navy will change with the next update so it wont happen. but till then, as a navy heavy nation (america/england/japan) you just want to poop out carriers first, battleships second. then you need some cruisers for aa protection/screening and plenty of destroyers to soak up damage for your better ships. use tiny destroyer groups to protect trade routes from submarines. and build submarines if you want to take out a trade route, in stealth. a good composition standard to follow is 4 carriers, 4 battleships, 16 light cruisers 8 heavy cruisers and 24 destroyers. but you can always change it a bit if you struggle. just remember that bigger ships generally are stronger due to armor and range, and carrier wins against it all. but needs protection. just try to remember the function of ship types like this: carriers bomb all to death but need protection, battleships are tough ships that destroy all within range but needs protection from air and torpedos, heavy cruisers are a cheap man's battleship with a jack of all trades role (can be used to do damage but also screen), light cruisers kill destroyers, enemy air and do screening. and destroyers are cheap ships to sacrifice and screen all other ships. and can kill submarines. - dont use submarines for naval battles unless you are just trying to spam sea dominance to get a port invasion across :). just stick to intercepting and killing cargo/transport ships enroute :)

Most welcome, enjoy the game!

Yes

I have 70h in the game but i still dont know everything

@@luigisbanimations9901 as they said you complete the tutorial after 1444 hours lol

@@italie7615 definitely

I hope you have a fun time with the game!

Pienias Pieniek navy is being overhauled in a few weeks anyway so hold out there!

The Barbaric Broneh Thanks!

Pienias Pieniek did you buy all the dlc`s. ( im thinking of buying the game to )

PHE597 imo it is not completely necessary but Paradox does love to lock essential features behind paywalls, such as the ability to leech off of your puppets manpower and formable nations.

The Barbaric Broneh so if im buying the game. Should i buy any of the dlc`s to?

I play RON

I had that same worry when I bought it, but I think it was worth every penny. I've got over 400 hours on it and love it! I found it shockingly easy to learn despite looking daunting.

it looks very scary, but once you do learn it, it is absolutely worth it.

I cant understand ck2

Highly addictive, likely you'll get frustrated at playing as you put a lot of hours into a playthrough but it falls apart because you've made a mistake early on. I get addicted, play loads and burn out. No worries as you can come back. 👍🏻

Thank you everybody for your help , i got the game a week ago and now i have 23 hours in it. It's really addictive

Lol me too

damn.......thats hurts

Hey how do i declare war? It's too complicated and yes im a beginner i just started yesterday

This is hoi4

Thanks, and I'm happy that you like the game!

Give me some details and I'll see if I can help out. What country are you playing as?

@Mah-Dry-Bread I believe he is playing as the Reich.

I playing as Ireland and when I attack UK in northern Ireland my troops do nothing no matter what plan I have

it is stupid to play as ireland and attacking ENGLAND hell they have 20x bigger army and navy try playing as US , USSR they are pretty easy

Harmanify I'm Irish, just wanted to play as my home country and take back Ireland. And I managed to take northern Ireland, which gave me more troops, also took Iceland and portugal

Kind of yes, kind of no. In the game they aren't. Sometimes Paradox takes small liberties with historical accuracy for the sake of...well oddly enough, historical accuracy. For instance EU4 starts in 1444. At that time Muscovy was a vassal of the Golden Horde, but the Golden Horde had become so weak that Muscovy was a vassal in name only. To represent this in EU4, they're just not a vassal. The Germany/China alliance is very much the same way. Yes Germany had generals in China to help modernise their military, but the alliance was so shaky by that point that it may as well not be in the game, especially considering it was never enforced in real life.

Mah-Dry-Bread - Gameplay & Streams! I get your point and thanks to responding so quick on more than month old video. And Sino German cooperation had bigger impact and actually helped China while Japan German alliance... not so much. Anyways thanks for answering me. Means alot.

@The PlowingWater Eh they did not try to protect German colonies. They joined the war against Germany in 1917 to gain back Qingdao which was Germany colony occupied by Japan.
