sejozwak: those other guys? they know nothing. this is how the numbers work.
mountain general: am i going to win? or am i going to lose? either way it's spectacular.

I hate ai england dragging +40 minors in a war while doing decolonization. Not only worst path for player but ai too.

With the Blackshirts tree, I’ve managed to do the Imperial Federation with USA cores (Dominion of NA) and then form EU by April 1938. I am sure experienced speedrunners can do better.

The Communist path: Wanna lag the game to a snails paste and blow up the empire for some minor industry bonuses?

Mosleys path: Wanna take over the WORLD

[apocalypse]

You forgot to mention, that you can form the EU with Mosley.

Home defense will get the tiniest buff in the new dlc
cause in ahistorical Scandinavia might go facist so you can get war goals

The communist path decolonizing is a good impulse, but it needs to not just hurt you and lag the game. Changing it to focuses like “Recall Colonial Governers”, “Hold Elections in the Colonies”, and “Promises of Independence” that give you extra non-core manpower, factories and resources WITH THE CATCH that if you do not finally decolonize by a certain point and/or when certain conditions are met, there will be the civil war and/or massive uprisings in the colonies

Fascist is op but I really like the monarchist patch because I like to retake the colonies

[royale]

" Local man destroys democracy to get married " 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 good one

Discovered your channel a few weeks ago and have loved catching up on the old videos. You have a unique style that really stands out from the rest of the HOI4 youtubers. Love these rankings would like to see more.

We're on home soil for this one but it doesn't mean I'm going to be gracious to any parts of this tree, gotta hold them to the same standards.

Story time, just like No Further Appeasement I have no footage of the historical path prepared so I had to make some for this video, funnily enough this also includes me using marines which I don't often do. You should though since Britain via Special Air Service gets an advisor allowing for 20+ attack and defence on special forces.

Wake up bubbles zest just drop another fire focus tree ranking 🔥🔥

[eciek]

portugal can get the same output as communist britian in 3 military focuses

[dymitrdamecki]

Could you make ranking of all Polish paths because I think it will be very interesting to see cause they have even more paths than Mexico or Spain I think.

[darkscythe]

You know it’s bad when bubbles zest curses and starts shouting at the path

[mappingshaman]

You forgot to mention another benefit of the blackshirts path: Not only can you form the imperial federation, not only can you core the USA by doing so, you can even form the EU and core most of western europe.

[guybrushthreepwood]

Communist Britain is unique in that it is unplayablely bad; not in a Meta sense in that it is not optimal. No no no. It makes the game just not work because it sets your damn PC on fire

[IAmTotallyBasshero]

I wish there was Jacobite/Stuartist path in Britain...

[endzor]

This video helped me understand why I didn't get the cores on USA

[Negetivedigit]

It's odd how no one seemed to logically think about the Mosley strat before (or so it seems). Maybe that's good railroading on PX's part or maybe there's some kind of subconscious block about calling in people you don't have to since it's usually not beneficial.
