TY for being short and concise. Dont get how so many creators think a beginner is going to watch hours before

[StrangeDeveloped]

Tutorials for this game are either two hours long or an entire 6 part series, Thanks for making this incredibly quick and easy to digest.

Finally A TUTORIAL THAT Actually TELLS ME HOW TO ATTACK thank you kind sir.

[waffel]

I love you, the only person on this damned internet to give a short, concise, useful tutorial that isn't filled with 30 minutes of filler garbage and actually tells you the very very very basics on how to play the game. 10/10, would learn again

[mrestratega]

You made a great job at this. I want to introduce my friend to the game but he feels dumb for not understanding it. This tutorial is amazing. Thank you!

[Covid-bvhp]

Thank you so much. This was really informative and straight to the point. In my first game, after watching a 30 minute tutorial full of gibberish, I literally lost as Germany to Austria. Keep doing what your doing, and again, thank you.

One of the best yt tutorials for a game I’ve ever seen. I had no idea how to even preform a basic attack and all the other ones where 40 mins +. INSTANT LIKE 👍. U deserve more subs

[Polaroid__]

when i started playing hoi4 I was ready to give up before i even started cause of how confusing it looks, but when you actually play it : its very easy and im suprised how a completely confusing game at cover can be easily taught in under 10 minutes, bravo.

[beeboy]

The tutorials i've been seeing on youtube really pushed me away from getting this game, BUT THIS VIDEO EXPLAINED IT IN 5 MINUTES. AMAZING 10/10 (this video is perfect for me because i have ADHD and i cant sit and watch a tutorial for 1 hour)

[NotXecutioner]

Its been a month and a half since i watched this tutorial. I didnt know anything besides building civilian factories, this tutorial helped me a lot, i got 230+ hours in total now and i improved a lot… thanks
Edit:500 hours

[tomincheristiansen]

this is one of the best tutorials out there instead of spending 10 minutes talking about the difrent nations you jump straight into the point and make the videos shorter and easier to understand

[salatt]

Dude, MEGA LIKE!! Super useful and short. 11/10

[Trumpie_The_Drunkie]

This has given me a lot of info now I will definitely go ahead and take on my friends. 😂

[niterider]

I LOVE YOU THIS VIDEO IS WHAT I NEEDED!!!

I swear do other srsly think Im gonna spend 5 hours learning how to play a game?? no way, i wanna get straight into the action and learn myself. You are a legend sir!!

[AceStrife]

I wish videos like this existed for any complicated game.

I've gotten into grand strategy originally watching let's plays (thanks Quill!), same with Dwarf Fortress and Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead or some roguelikes.. but it took many hours of footage to do that. And after some time you just forget how to play them (DF/CDDA), and so you have to re-watch tutorials to re-learn how to play because going in raw gets you incredibly frustrated since you don't know how to do so many things. It's why even though I enjoy some of these games, I rarely ever play them.

If there were always short videos like this to refresh memory or start playing a complicated game, things wouldn't be nearly as bad.

I like how quick he is and how he doesn’t waste time. This is probably the best tutorial under ten minutes, or heck, the best tutorial period.

[bobmcbobson]

Finally a video thats understandable and not 3 hours long

[cmlx]

oh my god mate, this is the most and only useful hoi4 tutorial ever, the last video i watched was 35 mins but i couldnt understand how to form a frontline and do the other shit, thank you.

[invidividual]

i was having problems with the basics of how to control navy and air units, this was short and really helpful, i am glad that i didn't have to watch any of those 2 hour tutorial vids
respect my dude

You saved my life I am so happy that I found this video I can’t thank you enough
