HOI4 KAISERREDUX A2Z: Azerbaijan Brings PEACE to the Middle East 

Honestly, I really love the videos where you go with the most batshit crazy content, or the one with the most expansion

I don't think the wheel is that great of an idea. Kaiserredux just works differently than the base game. And also I GUARANTEE you every ideology gets it's interesting paths. So it's better if you take the Kaiserredux exclusive and most interesting paths and not spin a wheel. I enjoy you going in and doing what's interesting without planning ahead.

The wheel is neat but I think you should override it when you want. There’s not point in missing out on a cool focus just for the sake of variety.

personally i definitely prefer the route of just choosing the most batshit or chunky path over the wheel, just feels like the wheel could lead to missing out on some more interesting routes

Honestly Stak, your content is best when you choose the most outlandish and wild path possible. Play what you enjoy because we are here for you and your interaction with the game, if people want to see “other” sides of the focus tree they can download the mod themselves!

Personally I would just prefer the largest path or the most schizophrenic path to be taken. If there are equally schizo paths, maybe use the wheel then. As an example, let's use Russia. Russia has like 8 different schizo paths, so I would like the wheel to be spun between them. Using this system would get variance (because the Schizo paths are everything from Illegalism to Esoteric Aryanism) while still showcasing how insane KX can be. My worry about the current system is that it will lead to just playing vanilla Kaiserreich content in the KX world. Like landing on the Commune of France and just doing a regular playthrough instead of the Sorelians or Nestor Makhno. TL;DR - I think you should spin between the wackier KX exclusive paths to avoid doing the boring KR stuff.

When you get to Malta, they don't have a focus tree, but they do have events.

Yeah, I think it would be quite fun with the wheel. Though with some like Ireland or Union of Britain you focus on a specific path.

I honestly would recommend playing with Landlord for small nations, so you can core the populations you conquer - it would make these smaller nations just that much less painful.

Criticism: I think wheel is not a bad idea but is not usable for so many countries after all enjoyable content is most important thing. you see absolute Autocratic paths for Persia and Najd are way better ones in fact in the case of Persia even with partial autocratic system is not As good & makes no sense (gameplay) it is true for Napoleonic France as well, other paths are not as good at all not even near it. so I think the wheel is better for generic or almost equal paths 2-use country's leader's image for the video like Red hawk videos which is better in Hoi4 after all the leader's portrait is just over there it is way better then use Arab for a Turkic nation 3-just one Kaiserredux video per week is way a few after all apparently you want play as formable nations as well, 2 videos per week because I love it.

Gabby's random little notes are pretty funny. Really appreciate how subtle they are

Hey, hello from Azerbaijan. First time ever I see a video on my country in hoi4 😂. Thanks!

The thumbail: "peace at last" Also the thumbnail: *multiple wars occurring*

20:52 is funniest part man 😂

I would vote for one more rule. If a country does not have a unique focus tree you 'can' skip it.

Wheel is cool. You should IMO go for what ever looks the most insane and fun.

Nah man, you don't need no damn wheel. Just do whatever you think is the funnest to do. The reason this has been fun to watch is cuz YOU'RE HAVING FUN DOING IT. No need to complicate things. Just play the game the way you want and the audience will love it.

If there is a specific weird path, thats the one you should do (like albania) otherwise, the Wheel wills it!!

damn, I just wanted go go to sleep, but then I see a fresh stakuyi upload in me subs lol

Now we need this as a offical focus tree

I think my favorite thing about this is the thumbnail has a war going on while also saying peace in the middle east

A suggestion for a historical video is the time of the 3 pope's. I don't know if you have talked about it before but it was a fascinating period for the Catholics, so much confusion.

I agree with the people saying to override it where obvious - like not every country is going to have equally interesting routes within those umbrellas, if the wheel chooses the most boring or one that doesn't exist I think free choice, or maybe Gabby's choice, would be best. The attitude of addressing constructive criticism constructively is admirable and a credit to you

Just a little tip for when the 2nd american civil war happens, you can hold enter to quickly dismiss the several war declared popups

As someone who did make a comment about you always doing the nationalist routes, I do like the wheel! But I also enjoy when you just do what you want, so perhaps the green/blank spots instead of doing a re-spin of the wheel, that means you just get to play it by ear and go down whatever path you feel like doing? That way while sometimes you go by the wheel, there's that element of still getting to do whatever content you want and not be limited! I think that would be a good balance between.

You also forgot arizona and abkhazia (they also have content in kx )

Keeping doing the craziest paths are the best

I love the wheel! Seeing you switch so suddenly from SocDem to NatPop in the Austria video was quite maddening. Glad we can finally have nice things. Is the A for non-Aligned?

Didnt really notixe your ideology choices but loving the idea of a spinner keeping it fresh

Love the wheel, big fan of spicy paths or options. Also I think its only fair you go for mass land grabbing the AI loves border gore and this run looked fantastic. Keep up the good work amigo🤙🥃

This is a topical topic of all topics of the century of topics

I love the green screen hidden option, should be stakuyi's choice if it lands on that. Either that or just pick random options on events.

I hope that he’ll play as Stalin in Georgia

So many comments about the wheel. I'm just going to say, that was absolutely hilarious, and such a joy to watch. Way to go from zero to hero Stak.

Stakuye doesn’t expect the Baku oil fields to have oil

I love Gabby's snarky but loving comments

"Wheel of Morality, turn! turn! turn! / Tell us the lesson that we should learn." :D

Instead of using green as blank or respin, you should make green be Gabby chooses for you

Cant wait for the unification colab and New England

I think a modified wheel could work. You’d need to research the focus trees a little and make sure they’re worth doing, and add all the good ones onto the wheel. This could ensure you don’t end up with the worst options while still adding chance

Love the wheel idea ! Will give us a lot of fun x) thanks for your suffering stakuyi ! It is very appreciated x)

Finaly stakuyi did my country

I'm just waiting for when Stakuyi throws through wheel across the toom

I think the craziest path is the most entertaining one. It's what Kaiserredux is all about.

i like the wheel. but i do have something you could possibly add. you could allow your self to ban one path every time but in return you would have to play tall.

I kind of enjoy the idea of the wheel. Trying to hold together an absolutely insane country could lead to things being just as interesting as going all out

I love the wheel idea. But as a bonus I think you should make green remain ad spin again buy also have it be bonus challenge like no annexation on none cores and puppets only. Or the best calvery only.

Starkuyi has Georgia on his mind

Hi Stakuyi! If you think it'd be worth it, I think a playthrough of the Youjo Senki Redux mod would be fun to see. =^x^=

Waiting for the Fiume gameplay its gonna be fire

Hear me out. Green screen on the spin of doom is Gabby picks.

“We are saving the Balkans! not baltics Caucasus, we’re saving the Caucasus!” 😂 beautiful

I agree with the others, please just go with the crazyiest path. Those paths are the reason I love this mod. :D Keep up the A-Z Series!

Meanwhile Georgia: *help*

Honestly, the wheel is a terrible idea because there is a solid chance it will result in a path with a bad focus tree or no focus tree at all. That wouldn't make the most interesting videos....

honestly do whatever seems fun and just ignore all the ignorant haters

I say no wheel. Just do whatever path seems most interesting and if you think they are getting repetitive, mix it up.

I mean if there's only 4 base choices than logically 1/4 playthroughs would be any given one.

Millennium Dawn Stakuyi pretty please 🥺

When will the poll for all the challenge ideas be?

to note BZNS to prounced it correctly just add e infront of every letter BeZeNeSe

I have a nice mod for you to play! Its called "old world blues" its a fun mod that is set in just before fallout new Vagas. The mod is really fun with many nations to play.

Just use the wheel when you play a faction that doesnt have anything to interesting or use it when there are so many good options that it really doesnt matter all that much

Stakuyi surely is the Master Baiter

Just imagine the control over trade Azerbaijan would have in this universe lol

I like both, mostly because I get batshit insanely stoned before I watch the videos, but maybe a recommendation if its not rude; a console command after the whole game building up, against the world power, to show that your playing tall was like, skillful, just if you arent in a big all out war in the game already? It's somewhat hard to visualize your growth otherwise, and it could be a way to keep the wheel AND make democratic a fun political party to play as, given that they focus mostly on defense and civilian economy buildup as a political party at least in vanilla. Of course if you want to keep going whatever is most crazy or war filled instead and drop the wheel entirely, and want my opinion between them both instead, I'd say the most alternative history path/in game unlikely is preferred over the most war filled game. I'd rather see an ethiopian second papacy taking holy-land even though its less than an ethiopian africa unification, especially cuz taking the holy sites back would force the effective use all 3 military branches to succeed. Once again, I'm only saying what I prefer, please dont take it like im stating fact.

are you doing the meme nations? if so im looking forward to communist mariah carey

The wheel has spoken!!!!!

I see new merch: Azerbaijan: Bringing peace to the Middle East.

Love the wheel

The final flex should have been cleaning up the borders in southern Arabia. But otherwise, great and amusing video!

It seems like you own more than half of all the worlds easy oil reserves.

like the wheel

I once again recommend Rebel Inc. Its a very fun game. I'll start my daily count today I think, yes, today. Day 1 of asking Stakuyi to play Rebel Inc.

Hello from Azerbaijan. How can we reach you to discuss a position in our General Staff?

15:17 Armenia's name is actually Armenia in this mode so it's an A country you skipped

I think it is a wheely good thing!!

Well that's one way to reunite Iranians.

its not your fault the bad paths are the most fun and entertaining. the wheel would 100% ruin the content

surpression divisions dont need to be 50 width, it uses only the required amount of supply so making a 50 width one is a complete waste of army experience

Millətimi oynadığınız üçün təşəkkür edirəm!

I'd rather he not use the wheel. I would prefer if he chose the most interesting paths as the wheel might lead him to miss out on good stuff. I do support some planning ahead though.

They really do need to do.something to make democracy worthwhile to play cause you kinda can't do half the game if you play them.

All hail the wheel

Egypt went to war with Germany over Suez canal

Well for Georgia you must do Stalin.

38:26 Stakuyi is so crazy that even with democratic Azerbaijan the nation's siluete seems a swastika 😂😂

I'm the only Azerbaijani man watching this I guess

What about Alaska, Arizona, and Abkazia?

Day 2 of warning Stak about the Yunnan focus tree

I loe the wheel of Misfortune :)

Really appreciate you addressing the ideology thing, it was getting tiresome watching every nation just go fascist without exploring any other path. That's the reason I skipped the austrian video, cause it was just another fascist playthrough, it was getting silly. I'm not against going balls to the wall, but a little variety on how you do so is rather nice.

nice playing

Its two weeks that Evert time i launch kaiserredux It Just crash. What can i do?

i cant wait to watch azerbaijan become the first spacefaring -empire- democracy

@stakuiy didnt you forgot about Armenia?

Azerbaijan is cursed in world of kaiserreich not even kaiserredux team could do something with it

hi if you see this i would love to see you play fuhrerreich/ fuhrerredux germany in hoi4

Just as something you may want to look into if you plan to use the wheel more, there are website that have wheels like that which can be fully customized. It might make you life a little easier

The thumbnail disturbingly lacks a destruction of Armenia, the ultimate goal of every Azeri.
