Ngl, I feel like the Spanish Democratic path should've had a focus similar to one in the francoist Tree, where nationalist Spain demands control over French North Africa, it could be changed around to like be a "protection for Morocco" or something where you make a deal with France and the Allies to Join them in return for getting control over North Africa For another Worst democracy, one of the most pointless ones I'd say is Canada independent, since you just have a few naval bounus, screwing the Uk for having America in the allies, and not being able to get control over Newfoundland.
Honestly I could count on my one hand how many fun democratic factions are in hoi 4, hell even with the modded ones that are fun or have good story behind them
I agree with you mostly. For a lot of democracies, the issue that makes them unfun is that while the game bars you from military aggression, it usually gives you nothing in exchange. You should be able to politic and negotiate your way into new deals and pacts. At best, you’ll get a couple focuses for joining the allies and maybe politely asking for land and not getting to fight for it if they say no. They should do something for democracies like the HRE in EU4. You’re heavily restricted in fighting wars in it, but can use diplomacy, strategy and manipulation to worm your way into becoming the emperor, and even making everyone your puppet. It’s a different playstyle, but it’s unique and can be pretty fun. Maybe as a democracy you get a whole new diplomacy system where you can pressure other nations to sign treaties and agreements that can target key issues, like one nation giving back a core in exchange for giving them factories for X years, or working together on a coup against a third nation.
@@althereq3656you can just set justification to free in the pre game settings. That way no ideology has any world tension restrictions on justifying wargoals
I always thought democracies should be able to declare war on at least fascist and communist countries under the excuse of liberation. Perhaps even non-aligned if their sub-ideology is despotic or oligarchic.
"Also it's very democratic of us to ban other parties" Say what you want, but contrary to what the media says, we don't ban other parties. Within the Supreme People's Assembly besides the Workers' Party, there are also the Social Democratic Party, Chondoist Chongu Party (followers of Chondoism which is a Korean pantheistic religion), Chongryon representatives (for the interests of Zainichi Koreans in Japan), as well as two Independents. In China's National People's Congress besides the CCP, there are also the Jiusan Society, China Association for Promoting Democracy, China Democratic League, Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League, Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, Chinese Peasants' and Workers' Democratic Party, China National Democratic Construction Association, and the China Zhi Gong Party (for the interests of Overseas Chinese)

I am so glad Stellaris has the Democratic Crusaders option, and wars of liberation. Makes it somewhat enjoyable to play some form of democratic. Otto Skorzeny as a Republican Spanish spy? Was not expecting that. I hope you have no pain in Spain!
If I see it right,it seems that you successfully prevented future conflict between Russia and Ukraine over Crimea... by taking it yourself, nice. Crimea is Spain!👌
The Spanish Civil War is no joke the worst war in the game, the first few weeks are fun, but if you haven't basically won by that point BOY OH BOY IS IT GONNA BE FUN I love it when I get arbitrary modifiers that tell me "you won't push unless you go out of your way to push a button, but it will only work for a few days in one state" because historically the war lasted 3 years and the game couldn't do it without the worst bandaid in the history of the game (especially when this war is hardcoded so that encirclements can't cause the enemy divisions to starve, truly magnificent game design, I love when major mechanics get arbitrarily ignored like) It does not improve the gameplay, it just makes for a piss poor experience and I am sure that more people played Spain before the update than after
@@sephikong8323 I have played as Communist Ukraine once and declared war on Nationalist Spain, sent about 50 divisions to Republican Spain and from there crushed the nationalists in two weeks.
honestly I feel Rep Spain can be a cool playstyle but the focus tree kills it. You have the choice of either becoming a Soviet puppet or having a horrible industry for the rest of the game, if you go with the independence war you lose the soviet aid one of the few pros of going that path to begin with, every other focus is just better than Rep Spain's branch. The anarchists can core every state in the game, the Carlist's get buffs that give them the power of god on their side, Franco makes the civil war easier, join the allies and get steal some of France's land, and build industry. Multiplayer Stalinist spain is actually pretty good because the soviet player can buff spain with soviet aid, and in single player the independence war is pretty easy. The Spanish directory you gain free south American puppets and get a some easy wargoals.
Yeah, democracies in sp can be pretty boring depending on certain things (unless you just want to play against germany.) but in mp I always try and go a democratic minor, because gosh dang it, someone has to lest the world fall to literal chaos! Democracies are required to jeep balance to a non-hist game, but nooo, everyone wants to go fascist because that’s apparently the only “fun” way to play..
in Kaiserreich you could prevent the civil war from happening at all and I think that is good game design rewarding game knowledge with not having to fight the same war for the 20th time
General got a question for you How did Communist Yugoslavia annex Bulgaria? Did you play with historical focuses off? Did you have player led peace conferences on?
5:11 *Mountain General!!* 1st You make bad decisions in the communist Japan video! And now this!!!! 😡🤬😤🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 The communist did everything and even sacrifice themselves for the republic in both RL and the game. You're deserving a big time in a Laogai
Hello. Road to 56 ➡️ Game rules ➡️ Türkiye focus tree ➡️ normal focus tree 🔁 road to 56 focus tree ➡️ go to the fashist and complete all fashist focuss please.
Why close every pocket? On capitulation you get half their gear, when you encircle you get nothing unless you have maintenance companies. Because Paradox.
