I Had To Restart This HOI4 Challenge 10 Times 

Hint to anybody struggling: Irregulars have extremely low supply consumption, making them the best unit to use in Africa (As long as you're a nation with bonuses to their strenght, such as Aussa)

Honestly falling back to the hills and mountains in the south worked better for me than trying to cling on to the desert

I wish there would be less zooming on the editing because I like seeing what is going on the whole like when he’s in the focus tree and you can apply see the focus he is clicking and his big head and the whole combat not just small rapid montage of encircle ments

Defending as ethiopia is easy. Just set infantry one tile back so they entrench and keep milita on frontlines. Give south guy with desert later switch him with hills guy. On north montaneer on start untill you promote him to field general and you win 100% of times.

I love how Tommy thought the achievements were creative and sounded fun...

One of the Biggest Problems I see is him falling back out of Entrenched Positions, getting Multiple Combat'ed, and Ignoring Terrain

Tommy running the game on 5 speed and then wondering how the Italians suddenly show up

Ethopia are mostly infantry based in the game,not tanks

The true hardest challenge...Every time Tommy insults his viewers...he has to reset his political power to zero and/or delete a general/field marshall at random. Just a thought...

And you have to read the Focus, the approach said that it only gave you the states you control, that's why Eritrea was liberated.

It's not called quitting, it's called a tactical recalibration.

Damnit Tommy get your head in the game, those special units use barely any supply, use them! Ethiopia is just hills and mountains, use them to defend! Lastly for god sake choose a good general and Field marshal with the terrain bonuses! However I still luv u dommy have a good day.

Tommy K the King of Tanks has returned to bless us with yet another video

That's one thing I hate about Ethiopia, To get aid you have to go down the historical focus

Oh my god Tommy is so impatient! Anyone have a tally of the number of resets he did!

i really appreciatethe red alert 3 music in the background :)

you can basically defend the 4-tile line from Gondar to Aussa in the north and 3-tile line in the hills, grab mercenary and counterattack

This new dlc is definitely something…

I love the civ 5 haile cameo

I call myself a newb, yet i managed to push italy out of east africa in february 1938. My fist rule is hold gondar = hold ethiopia. As soon as you lose gondar, italy gets a big attack boost on you and you essentially get fucked. The south isnt as important but if you get new troops almost always send them there, since they are gonna reinforce somalia to push you back.

As an Ethiopian currently in Ethiopia, I can confirm that our emperor speaks German.

Nothing compared to the 200 hours I spent playing turkey to get the hardly anything sevres achievement man I need to go outside more

"Italy joined the Allies" wat? They can do that?

For me personally pushing Italy never ended well until about mid 1938 when you can finally get positive gun stockpile and you've stacked lots of warfare bonuses. So I would always take the defensive side of the war tree and from memory in the back programming of the game, defensive doctrines on your field marshal and generals still helped you attack. There's a desert fox general I would assign in the south and if I did lose territory there I would swap to the hill expert general and finally put them with the mountaineer who would already be assigned in the north (which is the easiest front to hold). Even if Aussa surrenders to Italy in the event, using their capital as part of the frontline still works well and you get another military factory which is really good. I would recommend trading your one civilian factory for steel to increase your gun production (you'll never finish building anything anyway).Use your research to increase your production as well, guns are key. I also find it good to keep the balance of power in Ethiopia even as going any side too far has too much negatives to me. You'll get random events about warlords and if they offer a military factory or another division I would always take them. After saying all that a few times in 1938 i've been doing really well against Italy and finally pushing back and getting close to the ports when Fascist Italy joins the Democratic Allies 😑. Usually France is part of it too so your trade is cut off and your fully surrounded by the Allies. You can hold pretty well in the mountains around your capital and by this time your army is pretty good for what it is but you'll be holding for ages until eventually Germany or someone else causes WW2 to start at which point the game just gave me a peace event that I had no option but to accept which usually gave Italy 3 of my states. I should state that this is going down the King of Kings route so doing another political route especially maybe addressing the league of nations might work better but....no achievement that way. Would like to see paradox maybe make it so Fascist Italy can't join a faction until they in some way conclude their war with eithopia or are actually fighting a major nation.

Personally, I recommend not even attacking the South. Though they usually only start with a few divisions, the AI loves to send more their quite rapidly, so I would suggest just holding and grinding out the Italians in a war of attrition because Italian industry sucks in the beginning.

this is so easy. just put mountain general in the north and desert general in the south. one single division will use the hills commander general. move both non frontline divisions onto frontline. you can hold both fronts easily. use haile selassie as field marshal once you get him. INSTANT WIN.

0:14 ya, got em tommy

0:35 Haile was a literally descendant of King Solomon

Love the Cyberpunk music in the background Markoni

I love how saying Ethiopia "Itopia"

The Ethiopia Civ V music is amazing

"Etopia"

Alternate title: TommyKay gets his ass kicked by a challenge others did a lot easier

the production quality on these videos is so so so good

New hardest hoi4 challenge. Tommy Kay completes mega campaign.

I advise disbanding the two mountaineer units and most of your infantry. Train militia instead also swap your leader for the guy with mountaineer. (Make your initial fight in the south with desert fox but)

This almost happened in my first tutorial playthrough.

My personal strategy is placing 10 divisions in the north a bit back so i don’t lose the north focus and pull them back while 12 (hero guy with his division makes it possible) divisions hold the south as good as the can while i micro because the italians inability to attack mutiple targets and instead focusing on the centered one or the one which is easiest to take (most countys they can attack from) and from there i can just wait till o get all the boosts, static warfare and trench warfare

Not wanting to flex or anything, but I got Italy first try, just by microing and not having speed x5 24/7 - pretty much why Tommy fails continuously, because he doesn't do either of them. He just needs to hold the line and wait for the enemy to attrition and as soon as his stockpile his green, he can push them out, as by this point, you should have enough bonuses for that. He is also not using the mountian general for the mountians and the desert general for the desert which give insane bonuses, but in fact the old guard general who levels even slower...

The Civ 5 Music >

Virgin twitch viewer (watches 5 hours of Tommy playing hoi4) (boring) vs Chad RU-vid boi (gets highlights and edits streamlined) (very based and not boring)

Tommy not reading focuses to know that he can integrate other states... horn of africa

I have too much of a life to watch twitch I'm not gonna watch another guy play a game for 5 hours straight

Im never doing achievements again. Spent 5 hours driving italians out of Ehtiopia only for them to not accept peace and strap me off the achievement

Addis abubu😂

Ya beating back the Italians was definitely a challenge....so I know the pain

Tommy's Isonzo

I was waiting for this video

Yikes, when Tommy starts rambling and swearing in german you know he really isn't happy o.O

i love how he pronounces ethiopia lol "etopia"

Markoni is definitely a civ enjoyer which is fucking based

the easiest way to win as ethiopia is non historical hoping that italy goes early civil war

the colors in the horn of africa look so good

Should’ve watched Dankus Memecus

Alternate title: German goes insane because the Italians are competent for once

Thank you Tommy for finishing an gempain

I tried the same challenge and the only time I was really really successful at holding them back and stalemating the line (on expert difficulty too) Italy formed the Stresa front and UK/France invaded me. Fuck this game.

Dommy doing advancement be like

yooo new tommykay vid

If this was hard for him, Tommy should try the road to 56 german civil war as communist germany

Paradox thinks scripted spawning in of ai troops is "fun"

I didn't know Ed Sheeran played HOI4

RU-vid Bois>>>>>>

He finally knew how to play Ethiopia

I wonder does Tommy still think he’s a good hoi player? He’s not but he’s so delusional sometimes it hard to tell.

Ethiopia got a full focus tree before Finland smh

Where is my mind?

If you want to get a monitor for gaming should you get a pc or would a monitor work just fine for a game like hoi4

The Topia is a hard country indeed.

This is just the Hearts of Iron 4 experience

Hmm yes lore of hoi4 by blood alone momentum 100

11/10 thumbnail

my favourite part was when he said its Italy time and italy-ed all over them

RU-vid Gang forever

Song at 10:00?

He calls himself best hoi4 gamer in multiple video titles...

why the fuck he has one of the most depressing soundtracks from cyberpunk in the start of the video😢

I did it my 3rd attempt, but the same thing happened, Eritrea and UK took land which screwed up some of my focus trees. Result? Join Axis a little later and beat them back.

ngl the defense of Ethiopia is easy. just hold 4 prov in the north and keep the border in the south. As a certified loser with all the achievements, I can guarantee pain when the core Palestine and move capital is gonna be the worst.

Play Aussa!

only 10 times?

I don't get it. I played ethiopia first time and by the first time i win with italy

The only way I won my Ethiopia game was to rush the focus where Haile Selassie leaves, so you can continue in exile and eventually Britain or another country will help take back the country.

Etopia

RU-vid boys take over

During NSB, I was the first HOI4 player to get the "Siberian Tiger" achievement and I was one of the first to get "The Lion that Roared" and "It's time for Africa" achievements. I put 6 irregulars on the south and the rest in the north on frontline orders and just let the game run, micro defending the north. Worked like a charm. The "Its Time for Africa" achievement can be cheesed by doing the African Union focus then joining the Allies. (albeit the UK must be decolonized)

YT BOIS LETS GOOOOOO

Is it just me or does the leader of Ethiopia Looks like Jesus Christ

Imma be honest, this was pretty easy

?

Oha als ob du Deutscher bist ich dachte echt du wärst Ammi oder so

Beans

Song 9:41?

I think endsieg Is harder because you can't even do shit to Russia

Wtf he is playing on 5 speed? i think he know how to play this game

Beans and sausage

Want to know something: I actually have ALL the Ethiopia Achievements..... I'm afraid TK is going to lose his mind over The Red Sea Achievement.....

joooooe Biden plays Ethiopia

This achievement was not hard at all. You just have to occupy the land.
