Fun fact: Alf Landon's daughter was a US Senator and is still alive, and in the 1980s on his 100th birthday he had a celebration at which Reagan delivered an address.
@@ertugrulgulsoy7612 Nah Alf retired from politics altogether after losing the 1936 election. His daughter was a senator from Kansas from 1978-1997. She is now 86.
You can actually flip to Fascism in the election of 1940 if you have over 50% and this skips the civil war entirely so you get to keep all of your army, navy and airfoirce.
But then you don’t get the AI building more interesting. I mean doesn’t matter much for the USA. But generally people who are gonna do civil wars want them to happen. I know Mexico players that’ll trigger like 3 civil wars before 1940.
@@xanpenguin754 You also don't get to choose MacArthur, Lindbergh, or Hilt as your leader, you only get Pelley and I don't think you'll get to be the CSA, just the Free American Empire
@@spiritorange8325 Ya, but I mean it makes the game 10 times better. Same with toolpacj, which allows you to basically customize everything in the game Toolpack alone is soooo useful with peace deals, borders, roleplay, puppets, etc.
Like you said with being able to do the communist path and historical, you can do such with Landon and going the war powers act but never going facist (all you need is to go to 30% facism support then get rid of the advisor and do anti facist raids until the numbers are back to normal), it's honestly the main way I play the USA because it allows for some fun expansion whilst still being able to go the historical route essentially. The only negative is you get giant wakes a little later than going roosevelt's path.
the benefits of getting rid of the depression in early 38 is huge compared to the giant wakes, plus you have to be somewhat active to do that which is the most engaging thing to do in the early US game
@@rcpwProductions typically by late 38 i found to be the average timing the us can get giant wakes when going landon. however with i think changes from the new dlc such can vary since the training act focus doesn't seem to give 10% base war support anymore after a certain time so sometimes I've had to wait a bit longer but Landon is honestly not that bad of a path, especially with the war power act method
I was about to make a 'Nostalgia November' suggestion and noticed it's December now. Oh well. Have you ever played the Eight Years' War of Resistance mod? I just played a China campaign and enjoyed it a lot
Can you please review the Tanna Tuva annexation mod where TT randomly annexes a country every 180 days? It’d be even funnier if you had all releasable nations

The British can say yes when you ask to cut up Canada. I think it depends on how high war tension is and if they are at war. I was able to divide Canada as the CSA then later peacefully Puppet the rest of Canada through the "The American Dominion" focus when in Ironman.
I remember one of my first games of hoi4 being democratic alf landon usa. Idk why, I was just like “what if fdr didn’t do three terms?” back when I started out all of my play throughs were very tame hypotheticals that would probably make a bigger difference historically, but didn’t do much in game. Like extending the Maginot, not allowing appeasement as uk. Being friendly germany who still wars with france and the soviets, but befriends either the czechs or poland (you can’t do both, sadly, as you need slovakia to befriend poland 😢), goes through the Maginot to respect Benelux sovereignty (its doable with siege attacker Mannstein + air superiority to bomb forts) followed up by aligning yugoslavia (they have a civil war which isn’t nice but at least Yugoslavia is still lead by Yugoslavians) and trying to peacefully subjugate Greece before Italy attacks them like a meanie, and eventually aligning the nordic states. While it is undoubtedly a much more pragmatic path for Germany, it doesn’t really change anything in game, as you still have war with britain and the soviets, at best it’s a difference between like 80 and 100 percent world tension, and I feel like a Germany that respects independent sovereignty while only going after their lost territory should have a bigger influence on the world, instead of just a slightly later war and the germany (in this universe) being treated like it’s out to destroy the world
The Alf playthrough is honestly pretty fun, since you don't have to wait the 230 days between economy legislations to remove the Great Depression debuffs. Speedrun economy repair which is pretty comfy.
