I Played Hearts Of Iron IV With NO DLC (It Was A Mistake) 

Paying for DLCs: 🤮🤮🤮 Waiting 10 years for paradox to add them to the basegame:🤩🤩🤩

What if you play HOI4 with every DLC enabled? Would be crazy…

Oh no, how could I ever play hoi4 without the allied speeches pack that interrupts the music I’m listening to so I can hear Churchill proclaim he’s at war with Germany!

Reminds me of my first playthrough. I lost 3 million men fighting Poland as the USSR

4:45 You could have puppets... it's just you couldn't interact with them at all. They were basically perma-allied nations that gave you a small kickback in factories, and that was it.

Welcome to the world of not spending $100+ to play a complete game, run while you still can

I’m a broke 16 year old. This is how I play the game. 600+ hours. It sucks.

The Dutch going fascist is an odd thing that happens before Man The Guns I'd assume, strangely enough Mexico also turns fascist, even if historical is on.

What if you played HOI4 with the rat enabled have you thought of that?

By the time we get to the Alf Landon game Paradox will have released a dedicated Alf Landon DLC. 😄

You know that there still are rats without dlcs

With the "new" base game some things in the game dynamics just changed a bit weirdly. Things I noticed compared to the "old" basegame: -The soviets always lose completely in historical. Even when you send 50% of your supply as lend Lease in the hope for them to push out more units -the Netherlands will turn fascist in historical for some reason -the AI allies need player support to win in Africa (else they will screw up big time) -republican Spain seems to win more often. -japan is able to overwhelm China much more easily

My fellow comrades we should commend this man for doing such a horrendous act, he did something no one could do...

14:01, ISP says "rats." We're almost there, his will is crumbling. Soon we shall have him back.

dear isp, the dlcs for the hitler face and the polish focus tree (not nsb, the earlier smaller one, i forget the name) are both free

Let me tell you I'm kind of a new player I have almost 300 hours and I was telling you for over half of that I was playing with no DLC and it was a struggle to play any other country but I finally had those three free ones and then I bought no step back and the ones for the Balkans even though I don't have all the DLCs this makes the game so much better is kind of crazy how DLC changes so much😭😭😭

As someone who hasn't bought a dlc since waking the tiger, this is basically my experience

"If you buy the Italian focus tree DLC you also get the Swiss focus tree." ...Swiss had a focus tree in vanilla? I...Never even knew.

Pre-DLC merge you COULD have puppets in the base game-one kind of puppet, without the autonomy system. T4V added subject management but they did exist before it.

Before together for victory puppets did existed but they just stuck there because game lacked a "Annex" button

Forget the rat, bring back Palden Norbu

How did the 18+ pfp bots comment faster than we did bro.... HOW COULD WE LET THAT HAPPEN GUYS....

I have a challenge Revert back to 1.12 Turn off ironman Give yourself super heavy tanks SUPER HEAVY TANK ONLY (You can use motorized and mechanized for org, plus motorized or armored recon)

I cannot believe that in base HoI4 game Adolf H. is undiscovered character, I suppose you have to open boxes to make him drop as playable.

0:38 Ah yes, without the free Poland focus tree dlc. That happens. Only encountered that when I launched the game from the folder, without an internet connection to steam, while only having the game from steam library sharing. It was weird.

“Look at my allies just snaking like rats here…” RAT MENTIONED! IT’S HABBENING

My main issue with designers is there is no indication what is good and what the numbers you see actually do beside the "bigger number is better" how much does one military factory give in terms ot production how are you supposed to know what a expansive tank is what do the breakthrough stats mean in exact numbers same as soft attack etc, from watching ton of videos i concluded that 15 production of a tank is roughly the "ideal" cost soft attack armor breakthrough no fucking clue so i just do the "bigger number goes brr"

Absolutely hate the forced designers with the DLCs. Wish we could have a combo where the designer was available if you wanted it, but you also got the default historical classes for free when you research something

Everyone who also always suffe/ I mean plays like this assemble!

The worst thing about basegame hoi is the missing navy designer. It is absolutely necessary to enjoy building navy, without it it's absolutely painful.

The only designer that adds much to the game is the Naval one. It makes sense that you can upgrade tech, and add it through refitting older ships. The plane and tank designer would be a fun stand-alone feature in a simulator, but it's just make work. I have done exactly what ISP is doing recently, that is playing with "all" the DLC turned off, and only miss Man the Guns for the naval designer, the US alt history which actually has some good buffs to go interventionist democracy US, and the sea tile control feature.

Back in the 40s me and my boys used to play REAL Hearts of Iron although, after we lost the 3rd man decided not to go for the 4th

I’m glad that they still include some of the alt-history paths in the base game, because I feel like if you couldn’t go ahistorical aside from manually justifying, clicking different events, etc. without paying $19.99 the game would get real old real fast.

You truly did it together for victory

ISP, im coming for you

To this day, i am still puzzled by their bizarre choice to give Switzerland of all things a focus tree. Their whole thing throughout history is not getting involved. Could have had an Austrian focus tree. At least they were somewhat involved in WW2, certainly more than Switzerland, just why Switzerland i don't think even the Swiss want a focus tree. Paradox really is just a mystery.

4:45 you could have puppets they just could break free or get integreated but you also couldnt take there devisions (I belive) so they were really just an allie with extra privilages

I've been a fan of HO4 for years. Wanted lately to buy either HO4 and slowly buy the dlcs as i learned the game, or Stellaris, and I was trying to decide between the 2 (even watched your base HOI4 video from a year ago). I saw this video today and I didn't even know the first few DLCs were added to the base purchase. I won't say that fact, and your video, convinced me or anything, but my game finished downloading before i finished this video. Nice video comrade

I don't have any of the DLCs and that's my day to day experience :)

Me: 3000 hours no DLC

When Your Game’s Updates Are The DLCs: Epic Business Practice

You just did what i do everyday my man

He keeps making videos but none about the Rat. Bring us the Rat ISP

Play Imperator Rome next, they’re updating it again.

throw back to 2017

My boi's slowly becoming a paradox QA free employee ngl. Well, if by free, you mean co-dependency being sponsored by them once in a while and plateforming the game them all year around

Ohh, and I wondered, what that update today was good for (I don't have any DLC's, so I was confused, when he said, that the alt-history tree for Germany is free now)

I HATE this system. You shouldn't pay for a Quarter of a game, to then have to pay double it for DLCs that introduce Basic Mechanics

Haven't see ur name in a while last i watched u was on the isp channel with city skylines a few years ago

you should play the ride for ruin mod it is a lotr mod and in my opinion better than the big one very fun, it would be appreciated if you made a video on it so it can get the recognition it deserves

Dutch always flip fascist without dlcs, but if you do the Germany focus path that nobody does which is flipping your neighbors fascist and allying them instead of annexing them, they would probably flip even faster

Now imagine me before they added that dlc, the only focus trees were the main nations with no alt history paths, Poland, and only recently Finland. No air volunteers, no puppet interaction, no designers, impossible to quell resistance cheaply, no armored cars, no special forces stuff. It was legitimate difficult to take out France because the French and English Ai get insane buffs to aircraft that are unbeatable. And forget fighting the United States and Russia at the same time. No winning

So if I brought the earlier dlc’s will I get new ones free or something or did I just do a very extended preorder?

I like how funny it is the AI can do focuses which can support the other group

That dark picture is actually a picture of the german version of Hoi4, because it was quite debated, if computer games were to be seen as art. Despite the highest german court declaring that they are and as such may show national socialist signs uncensored, most companies don't really want to risk fighting that in court

Dutch East Indies playthrough with the East Indies mod when?

its nice that your Allies are doing some ratting, but Mr. iSorrow, where is the RAT?

You forgot to mention that waking the tiger also added a Japanese reworked focus tree

Now play HOI4 with as many compatible mods as possible. I don’t care how loud your computer’s fan will be, do it nerd!

Cool, so I went from paying extra for dlcs to having a pricier base game. Neat

I wonder if the certain DLCs becoming vanilla means we get new DLC for the major powers

the designers are cool for roleplay and minmaxing, but I would REALLY love it if there were buttons you could press at the beginning of the game to deactivate so and so designer. sometimes, I just want to go zoom with light tanks without having to worry about making them too expensive, or build a fleet of sub 3 and destroy the royal navy.

I honestly waited for another edition of no-dlc gameplay

Someone's doing the god's work in here!

hungry actually joins the axis now, if England's faction collapses the domains will actually rejoin, plus Chinese United Front isn't a gamble if it works. Also you can integrate puppets. (also the Dutch always become fascist for some reason)

I bet his secret enemy ISP is working on an Eu4 video like this (please)

ive been doing this my whole life

i just wanna know, what DLCS do you recommend for Hoi4?

Still, this is so much better than like 3 months ago when none of the DLCs were in the base game.

i hate the tank, ship , and plane designer i still try it time to time and then switch back lol i think the focus trees should be added to the base game every time they update one and have the tech on separately

Ah you played the way I play 😭 I’ve played one game so far. I was germany. I got capped by Yugoslavia

just a usual tuesday for me

12:00 surely it can’t be as bad as that one mod where isp had to go all the way to Alaska and they still didn’t cap so he had to take Hawaii but they still didn’t cap so he had to take the kurils

ISP i’m begging you to partake in at least one of Valefisk board game vids

How I miss the madness that came with easy coups 😂

I feel like you should make the most cursed set of enabled DLCs then play with historical ai off.

I’ve been playing Hoi and eu4 for 6 years I’m schocked I’ve spent that much money on a map game

A monarchist play through? I was missing an olde rambler try

1 div artillery with no DLC is fun because you coup literally everyone to your side

I have a weird idea for another terrible game ISP! Puppets only! Generaly: as UK (they fit the best for it, but I guess France or USSR could do it too) release all/most of your colonies (you can leave Malta, Belize and all the one-tile as to not burn down your PC) as puppets, and use their troops as a backbone of your army. You have to call all of them in case of war, so the front is the same as if you were playing normal UK. Also, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland count as colonies too. Of course your can run some elite units from British core terrytories, but only to the limit of your manpower (can't use the trick with using colonies manpower for your builds). I am curious as to how that would go for you...

I've never played any of the dlcs and I've been playing for 4 years. Haven't updated since 22. It crashes every 3 hours

I.e., how I've been playing HOI4 for the past 5 years.

The base game is kinda nice ngl without those weird mechanics that rarely make use of

Did they ever fix the spanish being stuck with the civil war divisions without the DLC?

this is why i use a torrent version (before someone makes and assumption i bought the game just the DLC cost to much)

waiting until spies only releases

As a person with only AAT and the free stuff, I suffer every time.

The reason why you don’t need dlc to get Trotsky is because you could get him in the original focus tree if you never did the great purge focus.

before this update death or dishonor was the ONLY dlc that i bought :(

I really want Alf Landon but unfortunately I've been subscribed since banana republic in A-Z :(

iSorrow playing on the German version of Hoi4? Who would have thought.

I have no DLC, I just make a random scenario with a bunch of communist nations (Poland and Japan) and uprisings (India and South Africa) and make Germany Monarchist, and Hungary Austria-Hungary. It’s fun for a few games as long as you change it up a bit and you play China a bit, invade Japan one time and the Soviets another.

iSorrow shows how to make a mod in current patch and then plays said mod? The Empire of Japanada will trumph

I am a Gravy Timmify yaey :D

Let's be good viewers and pay for ISP's rehab after this much suffering

You need DLCs to see Adolf? I see him without any. I dont have any DLCs i believe.

Just do a full Rat video for 800k and youll get there in no time

Alf Landon is coming... watch your backs...

Nono! You didn't investigate the Sturmtiger! (It has 100 soft attack).

Imagine not knowing you can have all the DLCs for $7 a month.
