Iceland brings back the Viking Age: Cod Wars Guide 

Iceland getting a tree before Belgium is really showing which are the relevant countries in this world.

Love the EU4 Comet sighted easter egg in "I wish I lived in more enlightened times"

I wonder why Iceland doesn’t get put on the selection menu like the Sultanate of Aussa

Aww yeah thanks for the shoutout! Excited to see your spin on the best Nordic nation!

The fact that Iceland has a better focus tree then Germany shows where the priorities are in the world

That +20% non-core manpower modifier is actually so OP. There's basically no reason to puppet anything since even with 0 compliance you're gonna be gaining more manpower than it costs to garrison.

Just imagine being british in this world you dont want any war after the horrors of ww1 then you see the axis do what they could not in ww1 and captured all countries that opposed them in mainland europe then you hear news of an invasion but it is not the germans it is a random island called iceland despite having no ice and a lot of volcanoes

8:55 that's also one of the tricks you can use with Germany to naval invade the UK by going from the port north of amsterdam which puts the arrow exactly in between the english channel and the eastern north sea so you only need supremacy in the north sea

Play as Democratic Yunnan

I wonder why Iceland was secret... it's such a cool nation and had so much impact in WW2

some of this is just plain and simple peddling to the vikingboos and i love it lol

Great video. My run was similar, except invading Netherlands was very painful. I should have used the market from the start. Yugoslavia gave me basically all my guns and artillery. I didnt continue after the allies capped, i didnt know about that absurd non core pop advisor. Wow that is broken.

Oh, please, continue!

Would love to see a continuation!

The epitome of "size doesn't matter"😂

I love hove the Spanish civil war penalty is a reference to the infamous EU4 "comet sighting" stability hit event

The Indonorse strike again! Now in Hoi4 instead of Crusader Kings games...

Great Video! For your next video, I'd recommend playing the Hoi4 mod "Battle of Seelow Heights" and attempt to save historical April 12th Germany from total disaster, it's a tough challenge hopefully.

just got this game a couple days ago, already got a great new youtuber to watch

gotta love that guy

This was great video now I want to do A Finland Nordic Unity

I liked the old thumbnail as I’ve been loving the thumbnail art recently, sad to see it go away but it doesn’t change the high quality of this video

Really need at least one play-trough with that Nordic tree lol.

First of all: i love your work. Much like yourself i am someone who has attempted to grow a channel on the side, all while working, having family, etc. and I can only imagine the time commitment required to run a channel and provide content of this quality. I honestly can admit i never would have understood the game like i do now if it weren't for your videos amd tutorials when i picked the game up 2 months ago so mad props to you my friend. But i have a project Im considering starting but im not proficient enough with the game itself to make a quality video. Im wanting to recreate as accurately as humanly possible USA 's involvement in WW2. Im talking about accurate ship names, generals/admirals, advisors, and army and fleet compositions. Essentially follow the real world timeline and make a video from the perspective of pure history. I know that would be quite an undertaking but ive already done all the research necessary for it. I just need help from somebody with a far greater understanding of the mechanics of the game. If you know any content creators who might be interested in something of that nature, or have any suggestions or can point me in the right direction it would truly be helpful!

Love that god old style thumbnail with the new country ball style!

It seems like that while I wasn't watching you, a lot of futurama started getting into your videos

If they want to go more realism heavy I think they should do something about the Indonesian man power, unlike for instance India the Indonesians didn't really fight as much in the Dutch armies, and do something about the naval invasions, ideally that you need superiority for a period not just a tick, with the possibility to react.

I would love to see an update on the Byzantium guide since the strat doesn’t work anymore. I always ended up capping them in 39

I love your videos

Please continue 🙏

Just wanted to let you know that you are my favourite HOI4 youtuber and i watch quite a few 👍🏼

Indonesian people are fighting in UK for the some state in Canada - best timeline ever :)

crazy gameplay !!

I was very happy to see a nice EU4 easteregg

21:33 Good song from Toto, I agree

Heh, a wonderful surprise indeed! Honestly, Iceland is just fun to build from absolutely nothing.

BITTERSTEEL IS MY SECOND FAV HOI4 creator keep going

Your guides are always the go to - clearest and most likely to work - thanks. Hoping for a FIN achievements guide, especially lone wolf (having some trouble there). MMM

Please continue and do the world conquest with this save

23:21 every special unit cost 6 so if you get one it will say 6/292

Love the content ❤🎉❤🎉

12:40 bittersteel just gave an idea to netflix

That was crazy

gg for the new thumbnails

Such a good video

Huh that 20% non core manpower is nuts. Might have to give Iceland a go

20:32 Kallo was so scared that he left leadership.

Can u make a video as playing vichy france? Apparently, there stronger with out all the debuffs

Imagine learning this for your history exam 😂

Good video

Could you do a tierlist of all hoi4 nations rating how fun they are to play?

So good

My fav country is iceland so this video is a W ma boi and i will take it as a tutorial so thanks?

Austria is just sitting there, waiting.

Imagine having Christian X as a national spirit as Icelend but Denmark doesn't have it ! Just imagine the irony. 🙃

There's a chaotic florius video on this

I saw that title change Bitt3r. SHM MY HEAD

I love your icelandic

Iceland has a focus tree. Meanwhile, I just had to pull off Snakes on a Plane with the generic tree for Brazil.

I hope the next DLC update will be focused on South America because so far it's literally the most irrelevant thing in HOI4

Need part 2

You can diplo pressure UK and they will give up what you ask, but it is kinda RNG

Is it possible for you to make an updated version of facist imperial federation guide?

Are special forces doctrines dlc only because i can't access them

BITTERSTEEEL WOOOOOO

Would it be possible to do a Finnish guide? But without the DLC, so a historic Finland

the brits guarded dover when i did this

@Bitt3er I have 2 Questions: 1. My destroyers II don't reach all the needed sea-regions for NL invasion. Game version problem? O r do I miss something? I did it now with Sub lvl 2. 2. How did you get the wargoal on UK by Sep 39?

Nice

I couldn't do the achivements, because i did not play in iron mode but finally could invade Britain. Thank you.

Invading the Netherlands as Finland before AAT was ridiculously easy. All you had to do was get a good beachhead and defend mainly Rotterdam and Amsterdam until you could strike back and take a port.

You are the best

only a few people will remember when he misspelled "back" as "bakc" in the title

If you invade Britain from the tile north off Amsterdam, you can bypass the channel and eastern north sea. You just need to have supremacy on the north sea. Same works on Spain, from Leon to Bristol, just 1 region needed.

I'd love to see you continue this campaign.

Good

you beat netherlands in this video with 4 marines, but I beat yesterday netherlands using only 3 marines

Another video 🥹 tank god 🥹

intresting

Yessir

Funnily enough, there is an Indonesian club based on Bandung that its fans has "The Vikings" as their moniker. Could've put an Indonesian Viking in the thumbnail instead of the Icelandic one.

Envy your luck here bitter. Tried three times and failed. First time HOL did not budge, lost half the convoy and 2 DD. Second time UK intercepted 2 out of 3 naval invasions to Hull, and the one they let slip, well that's the one hitting Hull where it was guarded. Third time the charm, the naval invasion did not even launch and it is 40, more than half the convoy ship is gone to maintain troops on HOL supplied.

Is the title a typo? (will edit after watching video) Edit: He changed it mid video.

Iceland has a better tree than Japan, a major power of the war

I mean, if Iceland was a country that historically exist but in HOI4 doesn´t till AAT we can maybe see the same for Egypt being the main countrie of an arab DLC with Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman.

Love from greece

I keep thinking Copenhagen is a weird translation as the name is København which literally spells Buy a harbor (Køb en havn)

You know i think bittersteel likes futurerama? idk tho

Yay

capitulating uk as iceland damn that is hard

"Trust me, this is a big one and I'm going to show you" Hahaa that's what she said... wait no that's not right

Hmm yes the rise of 🇮🇸🗿👌😎👍 Icelandic Cod wars 2: the clone wars in waterloo

The tumb as changed?

19:48 Average Gora when they set afoot in india
