      ok I finished watching the video (may as well comment again for the algorithms): at the start of the Second Weltkrieg, you get a debuff "Lacking Preparedness" depending on factors like how well you did in the card game (debuff bigger if over 150% debt, for example), and what military focuses you didn't do. I guess yours was like -35% defense or something. So that's something to keep in mind – together with all the other stuff!

      You said you didn't expect to read a novel…it's really just the first few years. But if you do everything just right, the game's a breeze. GERMANY TIP: SPD path gets the best army buffs

      I'm not done with my Germany playthrough as WK2 only started at the moment i'm writing this. However so far i've been doing good I could say. I chose the SWR coalition path ("the Conservative Revolution") and was rather unlucky in th Reichstag mechanics as I only got in power in late summer 1936 as opposed to my (short-lived) first try before the bug fixes patches where I got in power in merely 3 months.
      After this rough start, I quickly got back on tracks while fixing the Black Monday issue. I'd say i got luckier this game because i managed to get debt under 150% during the whole game (this later on affects the negative modifier you get when the 2nd Weltkrieg starts). Meanwhile, I didn't have to do much during the Ruhrkampf minigame. I stacked some PP and did the foci of the political branch first and foremost as they prove to be quite useful for a later minigame : Hugenberg and the DVLP conference. I had to thwart Hugenberg's ambitions at becoming Chairman of the DVLP and if failing to do so, prevent him from splitting the party otherwise the coalition would be doomed.The foci i already did allowed me to sway more pary members to my cause and away from Hugenberg. I proceeded to win the conference easily with that preparation done. After Black Monday was won in early 1938 I switched to the military branch and reformed it along the Altgardisten's (Old Guard) views before the Weltkrieg which began in april 1940 in my game.

      I think I'm going to have to unsubscribe. I'm just too frustrated with every single video involving Alex not reading any events or looking at the focus tree, never doing research, and constantly having unused factories. The videos just aren't entertaining anymore. Half of them are just Alex barely even playing the game and instead constantly talking about how he's overwhelmed and confused while the game continues running at five speed in the background.

      I play Germany 3 times to get the right strategy to win so I realise that you need to get good tanks and sent volunteers to make the French weaker and sent the puppets troops in the eastern front

      I only recently had had beaten my germany playthrough of Kaiserreich as the SPD (My first playthrough is always of the most popular party at the start of the game), ive had a few attempts because I kept doing stuff wrong for the 2WK, but it was a knowledgeable experience (literally on my first attempt the turks took control because i forgot the demand for action timer).

      I had a whole army of medium tanks to be my breakthrough army (also DU is all about manoeuvre warfare doctrine, i believe was stated on the progress reports) and high level forts across the frances border.

      Only thing i was abit disappointed by was the mitteleuropa focus tree and agenda's breaking, couldnt do the one agenda that allows me to progress down the tree.

      Overall very fun, cant wait to try another ideology of Germany, probably Social Conservatives as they are the second highest ideology

      Hey if you want to try this again, the path you chose (the SPD), is the hardest one by far, I had success with Schleiner, you have to deal with the Ruhr strike at the beginning of the game lees efficiently than you did (weirdly unintuitive and you can check specifics with the path guide), during war sit with really good infantry (I personally went grand battle plan just for more entrenchment but you could probably get away with less), and just hold until you get rid of your debuffs, make the most quality fighters you can and just focus on one air zone on interception (I think it still trades better?) And slowly out industry France, then Britain, then Russia, making really good tanks once you have mills to spare, also radar was key for winning the air war for me. Hope this helps and I look forward to seeing you try again!

      yeah I played this update as well and im in 1944 the bastards that are the entente have only been able to somewhat invade Mexico while ukraine and I (Germany) have taken Paris, almost gotten to London and such else (with also the help of russia.)

      Honestly I prefer Kaiserredux, at least in that mod you don’t have to play cards to end the black Monday. So the only advice I can give you since the mods have many differences is to use your puppets’ divisions in the east to create a wall of men against the Russians and in the west make very good divisions and after you get out of the crisis invade the UK and from there strike at France. For the French you just need to create a ton of fronts to split their armies and then push
