Hearts of Iron 4 Tutorial 🔴 How to Play HoI4 in Under 40 Minutes Guide! [No DLC]

Thanks for all the feedback everyone, I'm happy to see so many of you found this useful! If you ever want to pop in and say hi, check out my twitch.tv/ channel and let me know you found me from here, I'd love to play some Hearts of Iron 4 for you!: www.twitch.tv/MahDryBread Oh yeah and if you stopped watching less than a minute in because you got confused by a front line, just watch a few more seconds and you'll get to the part where I say I'll show you how to do that in great detail, later in the video. Yes, I had to write this part in 5 years after the video came out, because for 5 straight years I've had comments of people pausing and complaining about "The line thing". It's kinda funny, search through the comments by newest, you'll see them. If you can't make it a full minute into the 35 minute grand strategy game tutorial without pausing, saying you don't understand, and giving up, then I can't really help you. There is no way you could understand the game in the first minute of the video, it's cool. Just keep watching, absorb what you can, and it will start to make sense in time. No one learns a grand strategy game in under a minute. Now don't give up on yourself! You can figure this game out, it's not rocket science. You'll be having fun with it before you know it!

"You've already read the title of the video, so let's not waste any time." = You immediately have my like, my comment, and my subscribe and I don't even know what you make videos about.

THANK GOD THIS EXISTS. The ingame ‘tutorial’ is literally just a new game where you have to figure everything out yourself

"Let's not waste any time" THANK YOU.

Way better than the official tutorials. Paradox's tutorials are usually something like throwing someone who doesn't know how to swim into a pool and saying, "Now whatever you do, don't drown!"

Can we all just thank this dude for responding to most comments about people have trouble with the game 6 months after this video released? I don’t see other youtubers doing this

Step 1: Build factories Step 2: Research industry and stuff Step 3: Train divisions Step 4: Draw frontline and make offensive plan Step 5: Declare war and activate plan Step 6: Repeat until world is conquered

I’m so bad at the game ,I played as Germany and lost to Poland 😂

God damn it, this game is harder than math

Trying to figure out this game has kind of given me an appreciation for the people that actually led these countries and armies in actual history. If it's this difficult in a video game that, as complicated as it is, is only a fraction of what would go into it all in real life, then I can't even imagine being a world leader or general or something like that in WWII, or really any era..

This is an incredibly impressive production. The lack of verbal mistakes and stutters over 45 minutes with what sounds like no script (outline at most) covering so much so well. 10/10 wish I was even close to this good at tutorials.

I have spent a whole day learning this and revising like it’s a exam. Plz help me

I only bought Hoi4 because I was beginning to understand the Fundamentals of Eu4 After 600 hours that is

5 years later and your still helping people learn the game I just got it and this is a really good help

I don’t even have a PC, I have no idea what I’m doing here.

Video on using navy forces would be cool. I could finally play as Japan and know what I'm doing.

Does anyone else feel that satisfaction when you’re actually taking over territories but you’re absolutely clueless on how you’re doing it?

Moblie Warfare? don't you mean.... B L I T Z K R I E G ?
