The Best Secret In Hearts Of Iron 4 

Alf Landon would make an amazing pope.

The rat must return.

Whenever ISP says "rambler try" I get Vietnam flashbacks to the golden years of watching drew Alex and ISP play together

There’s a real historical Alexey Kuropatkin who was Russian Imperial War Minister during the late years of the Empire. He died in 1925, and was born and died in Pskov area. He seems to have no connection to Sevastopol or the Crimea. Obviously the right choice for his ghost to lead it.

But I thought the biggest secret was that without Hoi4, we wouldn't be able to buy $190 worth of DLC so we can suckle the ample bosom of Paradox Games.

Oh tank god, they fixed that stupid bug where the game thinks the Pope is Emmanuel, kills him, and replaces him with his disappointing son.

13:35 ALEXEI LIVES THE BLESSED REGENT ENDURES

Man, I really enjoy your achievement hoi 4 vids. It’s like a perfect mix of an actual tutorial and entertainment. And when ever I would do any of those achievements it also will be a good excuse to watch one of your vids again.

ISP dreams of Alex the Rambler. I wonder what the nature of these dreams are.

WE WANT THE RAT

ISP,if you will not bring the rat back,at least let the cat make another appearance. Or the cat with the rat. Or the rat with the cat. OR THE CAT'nRAT.

they should add a huey long pope tree for italy

Fun fact, Tsarist Russia's Iron Wall of Russian Resolve Focus also provides the same buff to armour, reliability and production cost reduction for Super Heavy Tanks. Should totally not give them a go

Paradox, until the experimental version of July 2023, had a formula for how much armor a support company had. For example, if you had a light tank recon support company using a tank design with 20 Armor, the recon company had 0.4 times the tanks as a light tank battalion, so it was kind of like a miniature tank battalion with 20 * 0.4 = 8 Armor, but now with the experimental version, the light tank support battalion might be like a full 20 Armor tank battalion when computing division Armor. There is in the experimental version of HOI4 too much Armor credit gained from what in a way is an under-equipped battalion that has only 40% of its tanks. A compromise situation for a 0.4 tank equipment fraction would be to take the third root of 0.4, resulting in a 0.7368 multiplier against the designed Armor number of 20, resulting in a compromise light tank armor rating of about 14.7, in comparison to 8 which is too low, and 20 which is too high. Short version: Mathematically, Paradox could try out compromise nerfs of super-heavy support divsions, as well as under-equipped tank battalions, by applying the arithmetic of exponents to some sort of fill fraction. An exponent of 1/3 applied to a fill fraction of 0.4 might not quite be enough of a nerf. If needed, an exponent of 2/5 would provide slightly more of a nerf. Raising 0.4 to the 2/5 power would result in the tank design Armor rating being multiplied by 0.693, while a potentially too large 0.736 multiplier would be the result of a 1/3 exponent, which is the cube root exponent.

My first ever playthrough of Italy after they were reworked I tried to go monarchist and form Rome, but accidentally ended up turning myself around and getting the Pope path, I was so pissed off, but at the same time pretty funny that I found a hidden path without even trying to on first try. xd

WHY DIDN'T YOU MAKE THE HAMMER OF GOD BATTLESHIP

true story, the pope called me today and he kept saying "bring back the rat, play alf landon" idk what tf he was talking about.

I love how the former Russian Imperial minister of war came back from the dead to lead Regnum Bospori

Now that's a Holy Roman Empire. Wish you could have a Battle Pope as well as a Field Marshall.

"Braun put the Rat back up on the screen." ISP, we request the RAT

The best acheivement Is the "touch grass" acheivement where you shut off the game

Be me Playing hoi4 with Spain Finally has good game in first time ever Defeat Germany and soviets with allies took 2 hours. Romania joins Japan and declares war on allies. Japan declares war USA navaly invades As sain rush all troops and defend because I'm crap at the game but happened to have 100 divisions Chucks them in there and defends 3 hours later Japan surrenders Its 4am Now I'm watching hoi4 on RU-vid

There really needs to be an achievement for doing a world conquest as Regnum Bospori.

Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I watch you since 6 years, where you dropped your first HOI4 videos. I really enjoy your content and you make me smile with them. Please keep going, you are making me smile :) Best Regards

ISP,your seven days of madness brings me 7 days of sadness.

This is so bussin, I think at work today I'll show this to the Nuncio. Can imagine that conversation... "Ehm, your Excellency, begging your pardon, but look, the Roman Empire is now Papal, let's build skycastles for the day hmm?":)

u gotta do it regardless. WE WILL CHARGE YOU OF THE KIDNAPPING OF MANY "GRAVY TIMMIES"

The rat. The Rat. Give. Us. The. Rat.

The fact that people ask where the old rambler try is from makes me feel old for being around for the crossover with rambler and drew.

It's not just secret path or focus, it's just SECRET

Everybody gangsta till` Italy starts speaking DEUS VOLT!

The gravy is flowing.

THE HAMMER OF GOD FLASHBACKS

ALL HAIL THE RAT KING

Artillery only alf landon

The rat cannot be denied!

So what I did for my Italy playthrough was stay fascist with the musso man, capped Ethiopia by mid-March, grabbed France, Britain then the USA for the Pizza Time achievement. Also made sure to get my railroads capped in core territory while holding Austria from the Germans until 1945. After 1945 I immediately started grinding all the focuses needed to get the pope in power and swapped when I could. Essentially the only territory I needed at this point was Turkey, but they were guaranteed by the Axis so I had to join them and then declare war. Then I took all of Turkey and formed Rome after I had already taken the entire USSR and that was it. Every achievement except for the Gramsci achievement and the "Pope caps Rome" was accomplished in a single game thanks to France and Britain Paradrop cheese, and invading the Americans from my lovely Canadian homeland in like 1937 lol As far as the nuke, I simply declared war on Mexico, let them run into LA and nuked their asses into oblivion and then took their whole country. It was a fun game, but waiting to complete the year long decisions sucked at the end obviously. I had formed Rome and just needed to wait for the Pope to come into play. Now, I did already get the "Pope caps USSR" achievement right when BBA released, so I guess that's the achievement you wouldn't get here unless you somehow keep the USSR from capping until you've swapped over, but I was slow and took until 1951 to finally get Papa Pio. To be fair, I was also afk just waiting for time to flow, so I definitely could've done it quicker if I was paying attention.

I really don't want more special forces soldiers to die.

GIVE US THE DAMN RAT FUNNY PRODUCTIONS MAN

The rat must return

Escaltion 84' is in our sights for 7 days of Modness.!

BRAUN, PUT THE RAT ON THE SCREEN

I'm amazed by how much South America changed.

Bring back the rat

"People always ask me how I came up with "the old rambler try"", damn I feel old, have been watching hoi4 since 2016 when it dropped, so to think some people don't remember the old days with you, rambler and drew is kinda weird

THE HAMMER OF GOD
