HOI4 - WHAT IF AUSTRIA-HUNGARY BETRAYED GERMANY

Welcome back to HOI4, today we're seeing what if Austria-Hungary betrayed Germany on the Great War Redux mod for Hearts of Iron 4. An unthinkable thing!

Alex the Rambler produces videos on a variety of Strategy games while dabbling in other things from time to time. Expect extremely incompetent gameplay!

France has a option to start ww2. They do it around 1916

Let's make an unnecessarily complicated extra mod that gives Austria Hungary difficult to navigate true to life government mechanics like never before.
Just for the lols

9:47 “there’s no reason for franz to get assassinated, is there?”

I think Alex forgot that Franz was killed in Hungary while trying to be coronated in this timeline

Alex: Nothing really left to do in the focus tree
Also Alex: Not noticing he hasn't fixed nearly any of his bad spirits

I recommend playing with Italy set to join Central Powers, that way they can trigger the war with France in case of Serbian fiasco somewhere around 1915. (even when tension is 0%)

France also has a possibility of getting war goals against Germany without world tension, but from my experience they tend to declare war 1916 the earliest, and once i had to wait until they literally did everything on their god damn focus tree (which was around 1921)

Personally I feel like if Austria is in the path to join the Entente, Russia's AI should feel more inclined to join with the Central powers. Historical significance aside, it would definitely make an interesting game

HOI4!!!
I’ve actually been out of the ‘rut’ of playing HOI4 regularly, so videos are even more welcome now than they ever were before!

"What if the losing side gets even weaker?"

Germany: Hold on, this whole operation was your idea

Alex the rambler doing Alex the rambler things. You love to see it.

I have done a playthrough like this twice, I think austria hungary is neat

In the country selection screen it seems that the Japanes sliced the Russian guy's head in half

If you somehow puppet Germany as Austria, you will get an option that allows you to form the German confederation, which gives you cores on all of Germany. Then after some time, you will also be able to form the Holy Roman Empire. It's really fun, it's however extremely difficult to get a puppet on them (atleast it is for me).

10:40 if Germany dont attack with this focus, France will declare war on Germany later

[wavekingplays]

i found it funny that after you conquered bulgaria and turkye, france took all of the land, as well as you recieving nothing in the armistice

[florianfendt]

Alex is just top class entertainment, it is relaxing and still very funny.

[jonathanshea]

Alex! Stay encouraged! You are a great Youtuber!

[aydendejong]

10:30 you know that France just declares war on Germany at some point, if Austria and Serbia don’t start the great war. Right?? I have seen that more oftewel in your video’s on the mod?

[pocketmarcy]

It would’ve been interesting if Italy joined Germany, since there really isn’t any reason for them to join the entente if both Austria and France are in it

alex should get the franz joseph beard😍
