Roman Empire in 1936 By Blood Alone - Hoi4 Italy Speedrun Commentary 

I didn't do as much editing and visuals this time. Let me know how it turned out!

Rome wasn't built in a day, it was built in 26 minutes.

"Mussolini wake up, they've landed on Sicily"

Germany watching Europe fall before even taking Austria is funny to me.

Mussolini waking up on January 1st 1936 realizing Ethiopia ain't important then turning to casually rebuilding the roman empire before the end of October 100% Historical Focus Tree let's go

This guy can form the Roman Empire in 26 minutes twice while I'm still stuck trying to win a scenario where the Axis wins... in general.

Thanks for making this video, 26 minutes is insane. I really enjoyed learning about how the new peace deal mechanics are working.

The fully cored empire would be fun to see, I haven't seen anyone do it yet

I like how the devs nuked your wargoal/unassigning units naval invasion cheese strat but they still haven't taught the British AI to defend itself.

The small touches you add really improve the videos! I love the supplemental info you give!

Can be anything more cursed than Mussolini with a laurel on his head? XD

Lots of interesting points, great game. That's really efficient strategy. Now, I'd be interested how you could achieve world conquest from there. It took me until 1944 (in 1.12.5), you probably cut at the very least one year by rushing mare nostrum. Of course, I had issue with stabilizing the resistance / recruiting troops. Cheers.

Got it. Forgot to justify on Greece, didn't want resistance getting out of hand so I got garrisons back up, got stuck in a weapons shortage pit, the Carlists rose up before I could get Franco taken care of, but at the end of the day this was super effective. Definitely got a sub outta me for this one.

edits are so nice and clean. love ur vid keep up!

Literally just stumbled upon this video and I liked it. Very insightful, even If I don't prefer to take as much territory as you did in the peace deals.

As sun zu said yeet or get yeeted

Fully cored roman empire run sounds fun to watch :)

The editing of the video is so good!

Bro, really great job !

Awesome video very interesting and informative great sound quality and just an overall great video.

C'est Parfait, je ne l'aurai pas cru si je l'aurai pas vu !! Un grand merci ! j'en veux d'autres. Merci !!

bro you should be narrating a documentary with that voice

bro you just did roman Empire in 26 minutes while i tryd it in the last 7 hours and germany had to take turkey...... i had to try to take him be he didnt let me and i just left....... i really learned alot how thank you veeery much i will try some of youre ideas and train more. im kinda a new player but understand alot things in the game. i have like 400 game hours or 200 but for real for some players thats nothing..... whatever thank you for the tipps they look very good.

Great video illustration new mechanics and tactics. I gotta try a couple

For normal people, they’d spend over an hour building up a massive industry and revamping their infantry templates and making a larger navy. But you have bypassed all of that and just shat on all the largest HOI content creators. Yet I could not respect you more.

really cool video dude!

definitely would be interested in seeing all of the territorial claims met

Gonna try it out! great vid

good video, i'd love to see the fully cored speedrun too!

very video 👍

Impressive, very nice

Brilliant video. Definitely sticking around for more :)

i don't speedrun, but damn this was fun to watch, keep it going!

I heavily based my playthrough of the Pope's roman empire on this video. Balance of power and timing were tough, but I made it. Thank you

Wow, Incredible bro

bro best video ever

Ohh yeahh i made the shoutouts! Cool video!

Dude, wtf Completely epic

i hope we will see the fully cored mare nostrum video some day

Nice content. Subscribed

Spectacular, tried it out with slightly changes for are more long-term game, worked as intended, early 37 I would have gotten it....don't forget Corsika.

I wish we could get a video on a world conquest following this

Flawless Victory

Nicely done

To rise tension you can also enter and exit axis. It doesn't work by itself if you try to reach the full 25 but if you justify on the US and also do that you can reach the UK gurantee limit and declare war in time to justify also on spain(i think late may) and capitulate them in the first war (just like in the old tutorial)

Absolutely smashing great guide

you are so skilled, i'd like to play at least half as good as you

can confirm still works, thanks bro! just did holy roman and an empire

thx ! it was amazing ! I dis it tonight ! Awsome !

Great run, also easy to replay yourself. I've tried to turn this into a papal state run (maybe achievements, too), but you'll sit on the 100% BoP to the right after the Britain/Albania war even after deposing Mussolini. Winning the war will even bring him back as he isn't removed from the BoP. Additionally the balance reset from 'Seeking papal support' only works if the BoP is on the left side. If only there was a way to prevent BoP changes through war results...

Insane run man, I thought it was clickbait. :D :D

3:46 well shit didn't know that was a thing.

amazing video

this is insane

Indeed a full cored roman empire would be really nice

Just earned a sub!!

Cant wait to watch

You lose Ethopia but you form Roman Empire,it is worth it

This man has done it again!

Neat. Good job.

would love to see a fully cored run

Commenting just to give some extra credit. Solid video.

absolutely bokers dude

Excellent!

Begging you to make a holy roman and an empire achievement speedrun as I've been attempting to use this guide for it but have had much less luck than you've had in this video!!!

I don't dig speedrunning for my own playthroughs, but it is fun to watch. Funny this popped up just today, since I'm in the middle of a Roman Empire run myself. Instead of going fast, I play like a rat, trying to pick up whatever territories I can in ahistorical mode without waking up any majors until I'm good and ready to beat them in a stand-up fight. When Britain flips commie, that makes things much easier because it stops guaranteeing minors and it releases all its colonies, usually as free states. The only other variable for me now is whether Germany manages to found Vichy France, since I leave most NS nations on historical settings. I make it even harder on myself too with my own personal restrictions on play. I can never declare on a European nation directly unless it is communist, with the exception of Spain and Portugal, or countries which hold my cores (So I could start The Troubles as Ireland, for example.) And I must form my own faction if at all possible. No piggy-backing on the Axis to pick up territories I want or need.

Oh wow! That was very fast!

It was going perfecty until I forgot to delete the fall back line order when invading UK so as soon as I made it to Hull all my other troops went back into Germany which gave Britain enough time to push back

first reaction: bbbbbrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i thought my 1937 Roman Empire Strategy was good..... i must try this out, this is amazing and hilarious at the same time, GG WP , GG WP

I wonder: is it possible to use cavalry viably for any offense in the game? I've tried it a few times in the past, but they weren't very successful. How would you design a cavalry division to be any use?

Best tutorial im srsly, 1000x better than most streamers how smart can someone be😂 and its very fast only 26 minutes, ill still conquer the rest and how did you stop the ethiopian war?

good job!.)))

Omfg ive just wasted 5 hours of my life through countless playthroughs to get this but i keep messing up ahhhh

You are genius

Nice vid

Hy I am doing a german game and used some of your tactics you explained in this great video. But for me the UK doesn’t guarantee yugoslavia. World tension is above 25% and they do guarantee other countries I justify against but not yugoslavia. Any Idea why this is not happening? I am on 1.12.6 version

ty was able to get it in november although it as my first time doing this army transport ship thingy

well done

Patch 1.12.8 gives the AI some brain so that they won't guarantee if they are in no place of defending others, and minor countries won't join a faction if joining would result in going down with the faction leader. Can't wait to see your new strategy around that.

That's a nice speedrun, i wonder why britain is always undefended, they barely have trops there and almost all their navy is concentrated in the English channel lol

Why didn't Italy just do this irl?? So incompetent

thank you ~~

thank youuuuuuuuuuuu

I've tried this a few times now. I do the war in Ethiopia and get to the UK pretty quickly, usually within a week of your timeline. But every time I capitulate the UK, Canada becomes the allies leader and I'm stuck

Is it still possible to form the HRE early. If so could you do a video about that

bro is pro

Benito : Hey Adolf, what about that? Adolf : MEH ! 🤣🤣

12:28 omg I was wondering why my paratroopers didn’t launch i tought the game was glitched or something I completely missed that you now need 50 transport planes to launch

One problem I encountered is that neither spain nor turkey would join the allies, therefore requiring me to capitualte them individually

I've played this game for a while but I'm still pretty much a noob. Does France automatically surrender if Paris is occupied?

You would make the SPQR proud with your work.

idk if it is because of a new patch, but conquering england just doenst work, especially with the garbage cav divisions, i get london and 90% cap, but never manage to conquer them since they always have enough troops around brisol and liverpool and never leave them unlike u said. after some time they get enough units to push my garbage back sadly. tried it twice now and its really frustrating

This guy sounds depressed af. I hope he’s enjoying playing the game

Hmm yes lore of rome speedruns momentum 100

Nice

Any chance for a Pope driven Roman empire run, probably can't be done as speedily. Haven't seen anyone do this one yet though and I've tried

Doesn’t work can’t get naval superiority on home islands ever.

Will you be doing a new Germany taking out the allies speed run? With the new update?

Hehe I can still watch it :D

Full Roman Empire please!!
