A Qajar path wouldâve been a good way to have a Islamist focus tree since the Qajars were weak mentally n physically and were easy to manipulate so couldâve had them as a puppet monarch while an ayatollah reigned
Oh well, missed opportunity
Thank God we have Nath Roy!!!
Or even when the British toppled the Pahlavis
He's already 60 by then
Meant Qajar yeah
Eh honestly I could take it or leave it
Still don't really see how a qajar path would be interesting
Send money to hamas and form al Jazeera
Qajar not qatar
Ohhhhh
Revanchist wars against Russia
Reclaim Azerbaijan etc
More larp
Any Iranian path (beside the communists) would probably do that though
Not really a qajar exclusive thing
Yeah but it doesnât make sense
How so?
SUMKA didnât even exist during HOI4s period
Yeah but I'm not talking about them
and I have a very hard time believing that the Pahlavi dynasty were expansionist
Specially Rezaâs son
They were nationalistic
But not expansionist
If they had the ability they would do it
The Pahlavi Dynasty wanted to industrialize and rebuild
Since they viewed (and still do) azarbaijan as a core part of Iran that was taken away by russia
Yes that's why I'm saying if they could
it's unrealistic they rebuilt this fast and become a great power
But that's juts hoi4 logic
đ¤ˇââď¸
If they were a great power though they would probably go to war with the soviets
maybe but I still think that the SUMKA path was dumb
ehh I think picking another fascist party would have made more sense but I'm alright with that they went with
I'm more upset over the democratic path
yeah that made me disappointed too
feels like 0% research about Iran was done but itâs whatever
Iâm happy that a tree is coming at last
Maybe the nazis were send them to install the government in iran idk
SUMKA didnât exist in ww2
J i know
But they were under nazi influence
And their leader was in the ss
Yes ik that the leader served in the SS in OTL
Maybe they will send him to iran to install the government
Islamist path wouldâve been cooler
True
Islamist would be more non aligned tho
nah wouldn't say 0% they def did do quite a bit of research
Yes and no
not really
^
I mean literally everyone except for a minority in the democrats were Pro-Germany
you can see it with irans situation
Eh wouldn't go as far as to say they were pro germany
Sure they traded
But it was a similar situation to finland
Although Unlike finland Iran did declare neutrality
to an extent they were, industry treaties existed
German companies outnumbered other ones
true but they weren't outright pro germany or pro war
of course but you can certainly point out that the people preferred Germany
Yes
Over the soviet union and Britain
spain wasn't overtly pro-germany or involved in the war, but they were definitely pro-germany.
I'm not talking about spain?
Spain had an ideological motivation and felt closer to Germany
pretty sure that Reza wanted to use German equipment in his army too
Mauser did pretty well in Iran
The only real reason for the Iran Germany relationship was because of the soviets and british
can anyone play with me?
I would but my net sucks
ik but my point is that it doesn't have to be explicit
:{
Yeah but the thing is when people say x country was pro Germany they think they were allies
right
which let's be clear spain wasn't
And also this pro germany situation was the whole excuse that the british used to invade iran alongside the soviets
I can
was there not a coup?
a pro-german coup?
No
youâre prob thinking of the 50s
I think you are confusing the mosadegh situation
when Zahedi toppled Mosadegh
which is yeah in 50s
very oversimplified but alright
Yeah itâs way more complicated
yeah probably
Itâs a lot about CIA, the Shah etc
But itâs a long story
I would talk about it but it's outside of the game's timeframe so yeah not gonna go into it
yeah looked it up, it was like iceland but yeah they used it as an excuse
Iranâs army could do little to defend anyway
thatâs why I hope itâs hard to actually defend
I hope so too
Would be a really fun challenge
But yeah tldr britian and soviets invaded and occcupied iran
sadly it seems that they have to make every minor powerful and easy to defend
so it's not "unplayable"
And then forced the shah to abdicate in favor of his son
i think some nations should be a challenge
it's kinda crazy
how they just did whatever they wanted
soviet cavalry and british armour in iran
yeah
It also caused a famine that killed 3-4 mililion of people
Which was a quarter of the population
So I do hope that's in the game as well if you lose the war
where do those numbers come from out of curiosity?
lol ai overview gives exact same numbers
It's a book that I will be honest im not too sure on
but regarding this topic
It does seem too be accurate
just found same screenshot
definitely not very strong figures then
one single sources based on population figures from one source
but yeah big famine all the same
we also had another famine in ww1 that caused alot of deaths
yep
but still at the very least it was a million
since it wasn't a small famine
yeah sounds reasonable
also a similar famine in ww1 caused 8 to 10 millions death
behaviour of the allies is pretty shocking there
and that one has a way more solid source
what is the name of that one
persian famine of 1917-1919
althoguh that famine also took place at the same time as an epidemic
"So far, few historians have researched the famine, making it an understudied subject of modern history." --> man it's such a shame
that people ignore these things
so its hard to say which death was due to the famine or the epidemic
2 million roughly it seems
it appears that author you quoted is fond of high death tolls
at the lowest aproximation for that yeah
But for the 1917 one it's not just him that claims that high number
But yeah it's still a debate on which one is more accurate
My guess would be somewhere in the middle
i didn't see any other sources claiming it tbh
it said it hasn't gained acceptance among academic historians
and the others seemed to have 2.5 million as upper bound
hmm interesting
other historians don't seem to have a high opinion of Majd
Oh yeah can't blame em for that
The guy is a propogandist
So that's why Im saying his statments shouldn't really be taken as facts
Still even at the lowest 2 million would still be huge
yeah for sure
For a country of only around 12 million people at that time
Yeah as I said the guy is just a propogandist
Who says anything to make the west look bad
There was def a famine with a large number of deaths
however at least he is drawing attention to the subject
but 8 mil? very unlikely
the problem is how exaggeration and political goals like this can radicalise people
Yeah factual history isn't really favored that much sadly
like the amount of people you see saying the british did a (censored word) on the indians with the famine in ww2
people will believe anything which confirms their own political beliefs
which can lead to some warped views of history
yeah just a couple days ago had a guy here calling me a traitor to my country
for liking this dlc
since according to him this dlc is just "propoganda"
Like come on it's hoi4
You can make a bear the ruler of poland
lol
i saw a guy calling PĂŠtain the saviour of france
during ww2
saying he shipped the jews off to germany to save more jews
etc etc
he killed resistants and instituted a cult of personality so the germans wouldn't take control and do worse
etc etc
Not even gonna comment on that
Since it makes 0% sense
It's really not worth it anyways
all it takes is a google search
Like the guy im talking about was trying to bait a debate about the modern state of Iran
Which nice try but I'm not falling for that
yeah at least this guy wan't trying to tie it into modern politics
except for accusing people from occitanie of not really being french
yeah I mean that's also straight up against the rules
oh yeah
forgot about that
ok i gtg now
been a pleasure talking to you
huh, where are you from?
Don't know anything about him
But many other historians seemed to share his opinion there
is this new update or what
Iran
Im Israeli
Nice
â¤ď¸
Hey, why didnât you guys just DM rather than have a long debate about famine and death in latest đ
Good question
Live stream time
Was a good 12 replies with statistics and everything. I was like dang
I'm gonna play Iran first when the DLC drops
because they were the ones I was looking forward to the most
How much do all DLC's in total cost?
Over $200 US dollars
That is about 1900 rubles?
Islamic revolution path confirmed
Im gonna try east india company first
I wonât know
it is around 17700 rubles
Islamic revolution path is secret path
yes
I in school
How get secret path
Haven't said yet but my guess is go democratic and elect kashani
Looking forward to playing Iran tbh, looks fun
Unless there are multiple hidden paths, then no. The hidden path is tied to monarchist Iran.
a couple of them are set to never occur iirc
iirc they can, but its low chance, like really low
this as well
like even for ahistorical poland will never go for anastasia iirc
Yes in the stream they said it
Oh
They said it in the stream
"one of the hidden paths"
And talked about the islamic revo a bit
They will have secret tree?
but for some other less hidden or secret paths there are ai strategies as far as I know
No idea
I know. I head that. I did not realize they said multiple secret paths.
well "one of" implies there is multiple paths
also the islamic revo path they talked about dosn't seem to have anything to do with this
Yeah, I missed the âone ofâ comment.
Which ideology
didn't show anything they said they want it to be secret
Just confirmed that it is a thing
I hope they will get focus like the polish slavic
hmm
maybe another secret Hitler
but this time he is the Shahanshah
I could be wrong
No qajars
Several hidden paths confirmed in chat
Also, HOI4 will not be coming to consoles any time soon.
Yiu are mkr
Skill issue
?
Secret Khomeini path
In YouTube
What ?
What?
They didn't say it's khomeini
It's just an islamic revolution path
Give me a min let me try to find it
They mentioned its a secret path and didn't give any information beside confirming it's real
Leave there was someone named mkr
Rohala
No that wasn't me
But it's more sense rohala kumnai
He was like 30+ old at 1936
No he wasn't that prevelent in this period
Yes but he wasn't that influential
Oh
Kashani was more influential
I don't know that so much
Hoi4 be like: console suport? Nah linux suportM ? Yes
Oh
And they already said that's an option to be elected as president in the democratic branch
So this is the way
But new focus?
Maybe
Probably
Maybe don't know
To distribute the revolution
21 min 34 sec
If you go to past you would prefer the sha? Btw@bright spade
100% no doubt about that
I know there was corruption but now â ď¸
yo same
Nice đ¤
shah for the win
sure there was corruption and large western influence but what else can a monarchy neighboring the soviets do?
AND THE ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT đ
fr, they always make the wrong choices through every turn
true
Yeah compare to what was before and what came after it's a no brainer
indeed, people mark us as people who think shahs era was heaven on earth to discridit us, however we dont need heaven to be satisfied, only something better then the islamic hell
there isnt much of a saving for me, with trumps sanctions overseas college is becoming but a vague dream
ourprime minister really hero for iran btw?
who is your prime minister?
binjamin natniao
Yeah
It wasn't even slightly better it was better by a quite the large margin
you really like our leader btw
i havent heard of him much from pro shah friends and family member so i cant say for sure
though israel isnt clean of criticism either
Just a heads up modern day politics (as in anything after 1945) is against the rules so probably better to not talk about it
thanks for reminding me
Every country at war
i recommand we go to dms first
This DLC has substantially increased the amount of people with toothbrush mustaches in-game. Was it just weirdly popular in the Middle East, or did the Austrian Painter just overshadow everyone else who had one in the West?
Also, I donât think it ever came up, but Arheo said on the forums that the state atheism focus for Iran is being changed to just secularism.
Nope it was pretty popular beforehand as well
So, it was a popular style in the region?
Not sure about the whole region but at least in Iran yeah
Interesting if true, I do think it being an option would be better and make sense (or atleast lacisim like france since over all reza khan was pretty anti religion)
The new icons are good but not that great about the portraits
Some are good and some aren't that great
Second guy is looks maxing
The first guy is the starting Prime Minister and the second guy is the leader of the communist party
This dlc will be so peak
Multiple secret paths hopefully a Silk Road which gives -100 relations with China
Theyâre just mad there was consequences for sending death threats
Canât wait to blow up the monuments
We need a mod that gives every country EXCEPT the Chinese countries the ability to core the Silk Road
Based
Turkey must rework very bad country
Based
Is silk road still in the dlc or replaced with timurid empire?
Yes
I can't wait for the Albanian and Ireland
DLC
Yes? Is it still there?
The timirud replaced the Silk Road
And timurid has core on chinese territory same as silk road?
No
Timur didn't get to China
I think he died on his way there tho
i'm waiting for the polynesia DLC đŻ
Cant wait for the liberia dlc
They should add army limits as a modifier that could be added in peace conferences
If you cap Germany , you can ban them from making aircraft or tanks
As an example
update: I fought the US and the USSR at the same time
lesson learned: never right the us in 1940
did paradox say if theyre adding any new mechanics in this dlc or is it just new focus trees and formables?
its a country pack, so only new focus trees and formables
i see
thank you
you're welcome
There was something about urban warfare but devs havent showed anything
probably not in this country pack, then
highly doubt it
Just go to the paradox forums
Also can you elaborate?
I cant play ach in hoi4 and i have no mods no save files i have verifed the game i have reisntald it does not work still even change copy of the game
Sorry im not familiar with mods what is ach?
achievements
sorry for being uclear there
So you cant get achievements?
Can you elaborate bit more sorry
Did you mess with anything in the files?
I have reinstalled the game and verfied right now im in paradox and trying to get help
Thats odd
Yeh i cant rlly help you so hopefully you can get some help from paradoxđ
Manually clear cache
If u need moderation ping the role
But for this u ping tech support
U dont need a pdx representative for this
will they ever bring back customisable air wings đĽ˛
I
is
the dlc
No
4th March
Many of YouTubers
Who ?
Unfortunately, I hardly watch the English-language segment of hoi4, but I know 4-5 YouTubers from Russia who got early access a week before the release.
Can you link me ?
Sorry, I didn't understand what you were talking about
Can you drop a link to the Russian youtube channel that is playing the new dlc
you should play kx next
and elefants
a whole new unit type
he was talking about mechanics, also im pretty sure elephants are only available to india
Wonder if Seljuks will be formable
đ omg I know why
This is the wrong channel smh
Anyways devs should rework Czechoslovakia
Is the shah plushie the same price in all currencies?
what?
March 4th can't come soon enough đ
True dat
Hey guys, did anyonr know detail informations about the upcoming changes to urban warfare
I dont even think thats fully confirmed
Doesn't the achievment just passing by complete instantly if you play as uk or france?
what's going to be the dlc release price again? I just loaded up 40 bucks and i need some left behind for tuesday.
It might have something to do with india
Well currently its in an expansion pass which means it includes both the dlc before it and the current one
mhm
For me its $40 aud
36 USD rn
36.99 actually
should be roughly 15 bucks
worse case scenario I wait until next month
leaves me 25 bucks left for other stuff
it comes with the expantion pass
so if you have gotten damerong you're good to go
Same as ToA
gotcha
I just pay 1 month at the time. Might be a bit more expensive in the long length . But sometimes its 2-3 months where I don't play
Do you guys know when will the new update be released
Will there be patch notes released tomorrow? Curious of their were any other changes besides this dlc added
Idk but what I do know is that we should Nuke France
If you mean the country pack then that comes out in two days from now
Iâm guessing you donât like France
prob so
Have they released the model for the Persian immortal yet?
Tomorrow
HELL NAAAAH
Tomorrow.
6 pm for me
will this be in the base game or dlc exclusive?
Is New dlc tomorrow?
Please make Arabia a tiered formable already
So bummed it comes out on a Tuesday. The one day Iâm required to go into the office đ
Iâm gonna have so much fun playing it on Tuesday while youâre working
So much fun
I have school then too
Normally would take off for HOI4 DLC but genuinely have a lot of work to get done tomorrow so canât
Would be a shame if Iâm sick
Maybe just take Friday off
Meanwhile i'm going to update my mod right away.
Already have several suggestions about the placement of Malacca City.
Patch notes when
Also notice the greater Iran color
Itâs dark grey
Meaning possibly you could become the riech ?
There is an Islamic democratic path under Sayyed Abol-Ghasem Kashani although he looks younger
He was a supporter of Mossadegh, anti-capitalist and nationalist
Not really a nationalist
Islamists would be a more accurate term
Will Kurdistan have a unique focus tree or anything
Iraq does have a kurdistan path yes
Do you play as it or just release it as Iraq?
Islamist is a political term that doesn't really reflect his beliefs for the freedom and sovereignty of Iran and Islamist politics is usually linked to Pan Islamism
will there be patch notes today?
Pretty sure when you do that path you switch over and play as kurdistan. not 100% sure though
Islamism (at least in iran) as always been anti nationalism
Nationalism is putting the concenpt of Iran and Iranian first
While Islamists would be putting muslims as first
Isn't that patriotism instead?
That also applies to patriotism yes
I'm just giving a simplified explanation of it In Iran
Alright

Not talking about nationalism as a whole because of course different places had different interpretations and versions of that
Well that's a joke
Iran still practices discrimination against Kurds and Arabs, you can speak and teach Arabic in Qom but never in Arabistan/Ahwaz
Views of Arabs and Kurdish culture in Arabistan and Kurdistan is illegal and a Persian/Farsi identity is still promoted. It is the same as under the Shah but now women are forced to wear a Hijab
And Iran currently is looking for Iran's interests, controlling Iraq economically, controlling and influencing a large portion of the Middle East
Iran is basically the most Nationalist iteration of itself just painted with a coat of religion
First of all this is modern day politics
Yes which I assumed you were speaking off
Second of all every nation put it's own interest (be it ideologically or what ever) first
I wasn't
Sounds cool
I was simply saying calling kashani a nationalist isn't right
Because Iranian Islamism in the early 20th century portrayed itself as Nationalist and Democratic
Fighting for elections, constitutions and the sovereignty of Iran
Not really true though
Kashani Himself issued Fatwas to kill the military dictator Hajj Razmara
Kashani himself was anti democracy
And it was more so Islamist then nationalistic
Both in the time period of hoi4 and later on
Also there's alot wrong with what you said here but since it's related to modern politics I'm not gonna get into it
He was speaker of parliament, fought with the constitutional revolution and issued Fatwas to kill the military dictator Haj Ali Razmara and
Just because he was in the parliament doesn't mean he was democratic
Also he turned against mosaddeg later on
So clearly his whole "democratic" thing was just a facade
yes
And the checksum?
thanks
Javid shah
yes
Irani?

Eitherway it's better to talk in english
Ok
Since it's mainly an english speeking server
The last video for Iran seems cool. Think they may have added content between them and Greece since thatâs when they mentioned the hidden tree. Plus Hagia Sofia exists
yes i agree
But yeah for me I started playing right before Battle for the Bosporus dlc
Ohh
Maybe I think it's like a 50% chance
Probably just some Persian War secret
Wonder if you need to take the Hagia Sofia from Byzantium as the Persian Empire
+90% attack bonus against Greece
IMO Greece should get buffs against them
Just to make it more of a challenge and feel like Persia is really accomplishing something
Give greece massive buffs but delete all their divisions beside 3 elite infantry
Nah, just like a +20% atk and def on core during war with Persia
Wonder if the Macedonian empire had any rework
Yeah jokes aside something like that would be great
I also hope there is a way to peace out uk if you conquer their middle eastern puppets/lands
I just know an Iran that owns the middleast will steamroll Greece
Right
The forever war with the Allies is annoying
And even if allies disband, commonwealth of nations generally takes over
Like how kaiserreich does it if you play as persia and invade india you get a peace treaty after a while (if you are winning)
Yeah that would be nice
We really do need more stuff like that in the base game Imo
Especially in anti colonial wars
Should work similar to Italys war in Ethiopia. Maybe not as drastic with a civil war, but give some debuffs if they continue to fight
Like stability/War support hits
Really hyped for this DLC though
People are mad about them????
Yeah like it's annoying to have to navel invade the uk
If you only want kuwait or jordan
And if it goes long enough, potentially all of the Americas
I know tons of people who are excited for them too. I think people just like to hate anything
People also had similar misgivings about Camels originally.
Don't even mention the usa I'm getting ptsd just thinking about it
But like Brazil/Argentina too on historical now đ
I think I remember them mentioning something like this
But im not sure if it will be a feature for everyone or just IranâŚ
Achievement idea
Francophobe: nuke every mainland French province once in 1 game as any country
If that's true that would be amazing
it looks like they did add some urban warfare stuff
"Added new tactics and modifiers for city combat"
Siam!
Really nothing
content is content
Wonder what could this be exactly
Prob to slow down enemy troops from pushing big citys and taking em over with little efford like stalingrad and other big citys
urban
Dawg they just threw in a major new feature as an after thought
We are gunna cook with this one
Wonder how Syria will react with Turkish demands now
Or what itâll do once Vichy exists
Yea wonder if they added new events for Turkey especially with Kurdish stuff
Or did Turkey become broken đ
The raj owns part of Aden now
Kinda worried Turkey will be broken but you never know
Maybe with the checksum it will be fixed
Does the new released nations have new leaders ?
They typically do a good job at updating other countries content. Would be surprised if Turkey wasnât updated to reflect changes
If the sokoto caliphate has unique leaders Syria should as well
I donât think we know
Agreed
Syria probably will. Idk about the others though
Jordan probably, Kuwait EH
Wonder what secret schizo paths await us
They said multiple secret paths
Also not to mention India and Afghanistan
Durrani empire and silk roads
If I had to guess, some sort of Persian empire triumphant over Greece. And the other being a massive Islamic revolution.
Silk Road debacle probably got it removed completely
It should be a secret event if India takes China
You madman
Just noticed in the video when it talks about the Zoroastrians it shows a completely different focus
I think theyâre trying to leave some things vague or bring less attention to it
They seemed to really want players to explore this one
they will probably become vichy puppets
Or free
what would be interesting is how will free france reclaim them
Maybe theyâll just flip to puppets of free France or on ahistorical choose
i can't imagine how many times that would break if they do it like that
and the problems it could create
They become independent in 1941
Kinda why it really makes me wonder what theyâll do
Like clearly they exist to facilitate being taken over by the new countries. But how will they actually work on historical
I may be stupid, but wasnât it this yearâŚ
they added the achievements 
Sorry I keep forgetting đ
I wonder if Debar and burgenland were fixed
2025* đ
I think they said something about it in the replies of one of the dev diaries.
when goe
More 21 hours
Did Silk Road empire get scrapped?
Does the game encourage you ti form the Timurids if you form the Mughals?
BTW what time does it come out tomorrow?
18:00 pm
Time zones go brr
What time zone?
EET
1:00AM it releases
18:00 CET I think
Kuwait but no Egypt
Wake up pharaoh guys
At least are the pyramids added as a landmark?
Okay so 1 pm my time
That's 8:00 PM for me
Missed opprtunity to call fascist Irans German war goal focus âDestroy the false aryansâ
Fr
That's good, will add in my mod when I fix it
đ
They confirmed the Hagia Sophia, Taj Mahal, and Sa'dabad Complex not sure about the pyramids
So none of Iraq's landmarks like the Mustansir school of Baghdad or the holy sites at Karbala or Najaf or the ancient ruins of Babylon and Sumeria?
Only a museum in Turkey and a modern palace in Tehran?
Well the Hagia Sophia was extremely important as a Mosque and Church, plus it is the most famous building in TĂźrkiye
Anybody got any idea what the secret path for Iran will be about?
Focus description says something about Achaemenid empire but Iâm not sure
is there a middle eastern alliance path
i forgor
like india, iraq, afghanistan, and iran
What is a checksum ?
I would only consider iraq middle eastern
Also all four of them have barely anything in common so it wouldnt make sense
Iran can do a saadabad pact alliance though i think
Yes
Islamic Revolution
Also, there is more than one secret path.
I didnât even know that
It was confirmed in the Iran livestream that there would be an Islamic Revolution path and in the chat of said livestream it was confirmed there would be âseveral hidden paths.â
When the DLC will come tomorrow? CET?
Nice
Is the game going to be on discount at the same moment?
If I had to guess, the secrets either turan or the Macedonian empire
Thereâs a new dlc?
Graveyard of Empires
Iran will be peak
Iâm trying to find out as well
Iran and Afghanistan arenât Middle East?
Oh I didnât realize that was from like 3 hours ago
Thought this channel was more active
Oops
I cannot confirm the exact time it will be available, but most releases of DLC have been around 5-7pm stockholm time
so can keep that as a reference
Will formable a that use Iraq be updated to include those states ie ottomans
*the newly added states
Siam now joins the Co-Prosperity sphere on historical
Added a port in Phuket
Added a supply hub in Hat Yai
Siam starts with army of Siam spirit```
Siam number 1
The checksum will go crazy
Ig just Afghanistan isnt middle eastern
I guess Iran isnât Middle East
Nah afghanistan isnt iran is
Cap what
suprised they didnt add an egyptian tree
its barely a middle eastern country but it would of kind of made sense for this update and now its unlikely we'll get content for them for a long time now
no it kinda wouldnt
the focus is around afghanistan and the countries around it
the levant was a bit of a stretch
and egypt is an even bigger stretch
also egypt is considered middle east
Afghanistan isn't middle eastern
Iran isn't middle eastern
India definitely isn't middle eastern
Only middle eastern country in the DLC is Iraq
Paradox plzzzzz fix the achievements of Warsaw uprising and shaken, not stirred đđť
DLC releases at 5 pm Stockholm time
Since when is iran not middle eastern???
always, Iran or (Persia) falls into a whole other category such as west asia. Due to the Iranian people being extremely different from those in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan etc
Mate I'm iranian
Iran's culture very different I agree
But middle east is a geography term
And iran IS in the middle east
Also don't use the word persia that's not what we call ourselves it's an exonym
Dls releales ?
Tomorrow
đ
Please tell me how many additions there should be in total, that's exactly the number? I just don't think I'm done. 36 I have
In Israel jews from iran call themselves persian origin not Iranian
Yeah that's mainly to dissociate from the current regime
Also many iranians ARE persians
I'm just saying the current name isn't persia
Every persian is iranian but not every iranian is persian you get what I mean?
I know
âŹâ˝$ÂŁÂĽâŠ
Bruh?
T-7 Hours until DLC time. It's 3:01 AM my time so the earliest is 10-11 am CST
2:02 AM here
My choir teacher got sick, so that means choir class is cancelled today
Which means more times to try out the new DLC
I got book club tonight, but with my sleep schedule i might oversleep it. Hopefully should stay awake and caffeinated enough to at least get the DLC.
LETâS SEE HOW BADLY WE CAN RUIN THE WORLD AS GERMANY
This is my plan for the world after the DLC
My first run with the DLC will be historical india. You going to do another germany run before that?
I always play as Germany, nothing else.
spoken like a true germany main. You do mostly imperial runs?
Take over the world as Moustache Man, overthrow him after that, and form the EU
amusing.
Letâs see how the Arabs, Vietnamese, North and West Africans, and Angolans would want to be ruled by a bunch of French and Iberians in exile.
Even though I puppet their exile government while owning their land.
4hours?
Donât they normally come out 12-1 pm EST?
Boo
Dlc when
get out of here!
That's it, I now cast "Rock in Shoe"
Paradox should release the dlc sooner for Iranians
Yeah sure, let me just--
Surprise cast of "Cute Dog Deterrent"
You now won't meet any cute dogs for the next month
I will still have to wait til 3 pm EST to play it
What's the first country and path everyone's gonna play?
UK, imperial federation
I meant regarding the new dlc...
I know
Kuwait world conquest
But after the uk one, British Raj, EIC
Based
Makes no difference to me, I wonât be able to play for another 8-9 hours đ
My intellect is too confusing, even to me
No I'm talking about the person who said they want to do an imperial federation path for uk

Nah I don't blame you I play Iran religiously in every map game regardless of updates or dlc
My achievements
Oh kinda makes sense to see if new countries work well with it or if imperial fed is harder
âŚtotally
(Totally not to get the new achievement)
Oh is there?
The on to own a state in every continent
Which theoretically, UK and France should automatically get
Cause Oceania has all those islands
1984 reference?
Same
Yeah
My friends immediately want to do MP with the mod
You have friends that play
Lucky
NoobâŚ
is the update out
Not yet

I ainât a noob, I have 107 achievements
Most in unhistorical
And Iâm sane
And have 40 achievements
Imagine having achievem*nts
Truee
how can u not have any
How
fake
The darkside of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural
Nah it's because I don't play with ironman mode
I feel like thatâs harder than 100% achievements
Also mods
true, having no achievement is the hardest achievement
I would touch grass but the ground is frozen and covered with snow
Look, I touch grass
6,234? As in 34? As in t-34? As in a series of tanks in war thunder? Is that a war thunder reference?
62, as in t-62, world of tanks reference actually
I used to love WOT but havenât played for years.
Same
War Thunder aerial combat is more appealing to me. Ground forces is a little too slow and meta
I would say something, but i play world of warships, soâŚ.
90% WT players use the same 5 vehicles in ground forces. And use the same strategies on the same maps. In theory the game should have insane diversity but is extremely limited in practice
I can agree
Itâs a pain to grind all that
I have been stuck at Russian ground 6.7 for around 5 months
Aerial combat has meta too but itâs easier to counter Meta vehicles and plays
Iâm around the same with American
I just completely halted once I got to it
I think I just need to grind the 2SI then I can do the IS-3
Itâs also just a broken BR
Yeah
End up just fighting prems every match that one shot you with a recoiled rifle or a rocket
Downteired to tigers, normal tier is 90% non pens
Up tier results in sabots with 400mm pen
Literally everything is a heavy tank
Yeah itâs gross
I try to just use TDâs or the bulldog at that tier bc high pen
Gonna have to stay off here once the DLC releases to avoid mega spoilers
When does GoE come out?
where
if the same as the last update - #hearts-of-iron-news message - it will be in 3h at 5pm GMT
2 hours
hmm?
Generally 12-1 PM EST
So if right now is 9 am est, should be 3-4 hours
It's usually like 11am EST is it not?
its because it isnt a float once its like 2h 59 min itll round down to 2h
а
That's weird and Steam should fix that. Still should say 3 hours until at least 2h 31m left
if it doesnt make steam money it will take years to be patched lol
its been like that for years tho
2 hours canât wait!
The dlc it's at 18?
Thanks
1 and a half hours
17?
2 1/2 its at 5pm my time
That just isnât the usual time is all Iâm saying. Iâve played the game since it came out and it sorta seems to fluctuate. So this is an earlier one if anything
8am PST according to some random dude on Reddit so yeah
In 2 hours
4pm GMT
when graveyard of empires drop will it be available to me if i have the monthly subscription?
Yah
I donât see why it wouldnât be
nice
maybe they would do something like its only purchaseable for the first month
I find that unlikely
ive already cancelled the subscription, have vacation in 2 days and already buying dlcs for ck3 so im kinda dry for hoi4
Ah fair enough
HOI4 is the only Paradox game I play and I got lucky with my DLC prices so it didnât cost me much
Do you want to play the India Iraq Iran and Afghanistan?
tbh i thought ck3 was so bad when i first tried it cz it was so different from hoi4
then i played ck3 for like a week straight when i learned it and thought it was better than hoi4
Fair
not at all, but my friend plays iran
I have friends who play Victoria III
He plays default focus tree Iran?
How brave
road to 56
Ahh makes sense
ive tried to make byzantine 20 times now and wanted him to help me by justifying on turkey so turkey would have to fight 2 fronts
Best way to do Byzantine is just port trap Turks then attack when theyâre low
Problem is expanding after. You get no war goals or anything like that so itâs an immediate war against the UK
doesnt it get core/claim war goals on all the balkans
yeah
but doesnt one of the byzantine focuses give wargoals?
besides on turkey
but anyways i still feel its better than third bulgarian empire. everytime ive tried to do that one ive never been able to win a war against anyone cz bulgaria is so weak
u just puppet everyone around u
fate of the balkans is prolly the strongest path
but yea bulgaria isnt that fun or just doesnt feel as a good as other trees
Ngl I like that they are adding more detail to the British and French empire just noticed they are adding Jordan
how much time left
around 1 hour
is there any european/asian country u recommend playing?
i like finland just cause they are a little OP due to the update they got in AaT
Hungary fascist/non-aligned is ok too
Is the dlc bout to drop?
any tree with a decent expansion path or just good combat is usually good
if u want a real country with some hurdles and challenges but a good reward
fascist estonia , where u fight the other balitcs, core them. and then fight the scandinavian countries . coring them and forming the nordic empire
i have actually tried that twice in singleplayer
russia wants to annex me both times
before i even get lithuania
You just gotta be quick and need a good strat
you need to rush expansion
Hey guys! Welcome to this Hoi4 Esti Is Scandi Achievement Guide! In this hearts of iron iv video we go down the Fascist Estonia focus tree to do a quick achievement run of the esti is scandi achievement.
#hoi4 #heartsofironiv
Music
Hoi4 Axis Theme
Hoi4 Heavy Water
Hoi4 Imperterrita
this guide is decent but its RNG
Achieves are already in steam
two 50/50 events in the beginning
from the graveyards
imma try it
Unsurprisingly, the first thing YouTubers are playing is the EIC path.
the dlc will be out in 20 min
Imma try Persian empire first
ill be playing Afghanistan because i love playing as nations that start with almost nothing or in a very bad state
I'll be heading down an east india company route for the raj; been hyped for it ever since it's reveal
For me 1 hour
Which one will you be doing first?
The legacy of greatness path
I will probably check portraits in files first.
i will let Azerbaijani rebels have their independence against Iran 
pfp checks out
Around one hour means that we have to wait 9mins?
yes
Someone ping me and show me the urban changes
uh so I was wrong one of the moderators said there's still an hour to go
actually a great gif
SoonâŚâŚâŚ
One of the mods said in an hour
Wait really?
Look right sadly..
One more hour
noooo
The mods are right
dont lie
NOOOOOOO
Updates coming in a hour?
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME
its so over
proof?
