Edit: how did I start a comment section flame war with a stupid Johnny Johnny comment?

Edit 2: guys shut up. I don’t like that this is the comment that has gotten me the most likes and comments. People are flipping out over a Johny Johny meme. Shut up

Technically, France DID declare war on Germany.

When I played as Iran - as a neutral country turned fascist, I was able to slowly gobble up non-aligned nations all around me and reform the Persian Empire through 1943 because every justification and take over of those countries only produced about 1-2% world tension. And by the time we had actually declared war it had diminished keeping my overall tension at 3-5%. Too low for any nation to really care!

[hugohellsten]

If you wanna ho to war with a non aligned nation you can justify on them and then a democratic nation and as they get guaranteed you just pick other democartic nations since the allies always prefer to guarantee democratic nations.

[katel]

I just thought of something.
Since guarantees lower world tension, couldn't you do the last strategy all at once (I know this is expensive but bear with me) and remove world tension, allowing you to justify on more places since after you remove the justifications, the net WT will be lower.

"Allies started world war 2"
Dennis Prager wants to invite you to do a historical lecture

[murderouskitten]

you forgot that if you are in war with major nation ( china for example ) your justifying time and cost is -75 % !

[LaRatta-bo]

if you want to glitch it out you can just leave the game after declaring war (while pausing), even if someone guaranteed them they still dont gona join the war, as the AI bugs out and forgets to join, but be careful, after 40% the tension is high enough to join the allies for basicly anyone and you could get dragged into ww2

[jordanasparadoxproductions]

It's actully very usefull because lets say you want to take on a bigger country and you didn't even see that France or Uk Guarantees a country

[Ironmaidenportugal]

I was playing Italy and I was justify war with Austria so i could get Germany early, but then France gives a guarantee to Austria like: Don't try to change history! Or the World will end!!!

[doesnormalityexist]

Believe it or not, the second scenario happened to me in a single player game. I decided to gobble up Poland in 1937, did anchlus, then tried to demand Slovenia after a failed attempt on the sudetenland. It failed and france made a faction, the "French alliance", with Yugoslavia. You might be thinking, unless you already know, that it would only make the situation worse. It would have, if france didn't immediately join the allies after doing it, effectively leaving poor Yugoslavia alone in a one man faction. Which it was promptly put under new management by me, Italy, and Bulgaria. Had some dank chromium deposits for the maginot tank rush.

Another tip I’ve learnt is to improve relations with the allies whilst you justify, it does work but you have to keep an eye on it so as soon as you stop improving relations you start it again

[philthefinadelphian]

96 hours into the game and I can get the northern light achievement, but not win as republican spain. Is there any way to do it without spamming troops? The only two tactics I know are cut the nationalists in the north east, and then try to cut them off in the south, though this results in German tanks capturing Madrid with my long exposed frontline. In a war of attrition, seems impossible with superior German tanks and Italian infantry, whilst the soviets jack off doing nothing. I can carry the republic with 3-4 soviet infantry though, so don't know what to do.

[kiriseraph]

You can remove a guarantee of independence by inviting that nation into your faction. If they accept then they will become a faction member which nullifies all guarantees on them. Then you kick them from your faction (which you can do so long as they didnt join any of your wars) and now you are free to justify them. Also after WW2 kicks off the allies tend to stop justifying because they are scared of getting into more fights, though they will still enforce any guarantees they have already made. This is more likely to be the case if you have a big army as they will be scared of fighting you and the axis at the same time, and they only consider your army size, not quality or composition, so its a good idea to deploy all your manpower before you begin justifying as a minor by setting your training unit to highest priority and deploying them before they finish training. i would also recommend improving relations with all of the allies before you begin, I dont know if it helps but maybe if they like you it will make them less likely to want to fight you. They are also much less likely to guarantee if you are at war with the axis as they will see you as an ally in the war and not want to step on your toes. I don't know if justifying through focuses can cause a guarantee but if not then it might be a way to get a justification and then declare war before a guarantee goes out. When justifying I recommend you use submarines to get some naval supremacy and try to take nations farther from you, if you can get colonies all over the world then if the allies guarantee someone you are justifying then you can just justify on someone else, whereas if you are landlocked and they justify all your neighbours or if you cant get enough naval range then you wont be able to expand without fighting the allies or removing the guarantee with invite to faction.

Last night I was playing a game as England on multiplayer, Germany kept paradropping and I never realized this but he was deleting all my factories after paradropping on every Provence lol

[japper]

Dustin, lad. I've been watching a few of your videos, informative but they seem to be dragging on and on, and somewhat improvised. Maybe get a small script going? We don't need a video every single day. But what some of us do need, is the information you're trying to spread. Straight to the point and explain the reasons behind them. Otherwise it might aswell be a false truth. Anyways, most of your videos are helpful. They just lack the finishing touch y'know.
