Let's Play Hearts of Iron 3 - Part 1 (Germany)

[elasolezito]

oh for god ! i love this game yet it's so difficult to play, videos from youtube help though.

i remember try to play with my country Greece only to end up make things far worse than real life LOL !

[OutlawMCC]

When i read " LETS PLAY" I dont need to see 6 Minutes of you setting up the game !

[ThePrussianPrince]

@OutlawMCC Why can you not just skip?

[sinchi558]

@OutlawMCC

Setting up the game is part of playing it!!

[KFCArbiter]

Axis controls london and paris? this will be intresting to watch :D

[madman5214]

@KFCArbiter  indeed

[CrazyPhilMachine]

in germany the flag of germany is not the naziflag but the old german flag

[casio1987vd]

@CrazyPhilMachine

Wow you are so dumb, too stubborn and so ignorant. It has been said that the swastika flag is the naziflag, in which they are right. Do you even know who Hitler was?!

If you don't know anything about history, please shut up!

[CrazyPhilMachine]

@casio1987vd Im german, i know better then you, im reading history books as i were 4 years old

[casio1987vd]

@CrazyPhilMachine

Reading from 4 years old and then understand and memorize everything you read?

You are one bad liar. You lost your credibility everything you will say from now on and have said in the past.

Your knowledge is very limited about German history and I doubt you even know the meaning of the naziflag, nor the German history.

But keep on living in a fantasy world, because you retarded not to understand that this naziflag has been banned in Germany showing in games.

[CrazyPhilMachine]

@casio1987vd

I begun to read as 4 years old and I learnd in school too

[HabboCoolcattim]

Is this like victoria 2?

[OPSxjamie]

for all the people that is saying is that a swastika that was the fucking flag for germany at that time

[GaudetteProductions1]

thats not the old german flag that is the nazi party flag

[TBK1507]

please uninstall the flag mod.The swastika is forbidden in some countrys.

[Praventore]

@TBK1507 please shut up .retarded comments are forbidden in some countries.

[MILITARcz]

@Praventore Thump up mate. ;)

[unownkiller]

IS THAT A SWASTIKA

[adirtygaspump]

[SigurdDaMan]

[ulittlecow]

how many years does this game last after WW2?

[MrRaptorzor]

@ulittlecow as many as you want from what i heard

[combly7]

sry for double posting. I figured it out

[combly7]

0:56 for some reason i dont have flags at the bottom or in the diplomacy screen would you know why

[MuFu23]

@ThePrussianPrince

Do you play as the same leader the entire time? Or can he be assainated, or in other ways replaced?

[DryvBy2]

You've got a got voice. I mean that in the most non-gay way possible too.

[hammowil3]

Lolz as soon as I saw you make warband videos I knew your videos would be good xD!

[MarineCorps413]

@TheARMAProductions thanks.

[Livasyandrew]

GAHHH i wanna understand this game so bad,,,

[ilijazunic55]

[vicktorvoycheck]

[Hawkclan1]

@MarineCorps413 you can play as any country in the world durring WWII.....

[siggyguy]

[john54421]

How did you get the swastika

[ofpveteran73]

what is the difference between hoi3 and hoi3 semper fi?

[GrungeBouke]

This game is so fucking hard.

[angreyduck2]

That is an amazing intro there sir.

[hazem3007]

Guys if you can just help me , i downloaded the game i understood the stuff of research -technology ........... etc) and i make too many big armies but when i attack others regions it doesn't fall into my control and suddenly i find myself losing regions even if i was fighting South Africa .

help me what wrong i have done

[TheATSVfan]

i heard, that the game is lagging all the time, ist this true? hopy u understand my english

[ThePrussianPrince]

@TheATSVfan If you have an old computer, yes. But my computer can run the game perfectly, without any performance issues. Maybe I'd have performance issues if I got to 1946-1948, but I never got that far in any of my campaigns.

[martinboy567]

@ThePrussianPrince Uh is the Flag mod still up?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@martinboy567 Yes

[ZombieSlayer1210]

@ThePrussianPrince why would you computer run slower if you got to 1946?

[michaeld20]

@ZombieSlayer1210 More units maybe

[LordVlader]

@TheATSVfan I have 4 gb of RAM, a 512 mb memory card and a quad-core CPU and it lags. I applied the latest patch and now it only stops at 7:00 everyday for 20 seconds or so. Sucks bit time !

[MultiBulgarin]

I bought this game on amazon but how do you install the semper fi

or other expansions for hearts of iron 3.

[chaingang62]

I've got this game on my PC and understood a fair few things that you talked about, one thing that I couldn't understand was how to change unit directions and set HQ's and that whole segment?

Could you PM or write it in simple terms here?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@chaingang62 I think I've made a Hearts of Iron 3 tutorial about it, just search on YouTube "hearts of iron 3 tutorial" and you should find it. If it's not what you're looking for, someone else has probably made a video about it as I saw a few HoI3 tutorials in there.

[yutaty]

@ThePrussianPrince please i want the flag mod can you help me??

[iluvcynder]

omg does that look complicated

[MegaManX1415]

@iluvcynder Try actaully playing it, but having NO idea what the fuck you're doing.

Every attempt I make at this game has bad bad things happen to me.

.....bad....bad...things..

[ruthere132]

@MegaManX1415 like what

[MegaManX1415]

@ruthere132 Well, Like losing several divisions of ships because you didn't realize about supply requirements and such....

Or accidently declairing war on Canada. I still have NO idea what happened there...

[ruthere132]

@MegaManX1415 1.Wow, just Wow 2.Why did you declare war on Canada, eh?

[MegaManX1415]

@ruthere132 1. Yea...I wasnt 100% sure what I was doing at that point and lost an entire carrier task force to a VERY stupid decision. Still, best way to learn right?

2. I don't know! I still don't know how I pulled that off! D :

[MegaTranquilla]

Prince, do you know if there's statistics that show you the total casualties you had and stuff like that?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@MegaTranquilla Not for Hearts of Iron 3, though I believe there are for Arsenal of Democracy.

[MegaTranquilla]

@ThePrussianPrince What is that? A mod or AddOn or a different game?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@MegaTranquilla A different game based on Hearts of Iron 2.

[kingsman565]

Your a poof for playing in arcade made.

[ThePrussianPrince]

@kingsman565 Thank you... I play it on normal mode, I edited the save after I noticed I accidentally left it on arcade mode.

[ThePrussianPrince]

@kingsman565 Thank you... I play it on normal mode, I edited the save after I noticed I accidentally left it on arcade mode.

[kingsman565]

@ThePrussianPrince Right.

[CuibusAlecs]

What a surprise, didn't knew you're Romanian. Your english is very good. Why did you chose this nickname ? you have german roots ? Also, in the future could you post a quick tutorial, and some tips for thos who are new to the game.. ?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@CuibusAlecs Thank you. I chose this nickname because I was inspired by PrinceofMacedon's name, and I used to play a lot with Prussia, hence why this nickname was born. And no, I don't have German roots. I have already posted, I believe, 2 tutorials for Hearts of Iron 3 that you may find if you google/search on YouTube I think. I might post more in the future.

[xxxGlobberxxx]

is ther any chet or a way to not have rebells in the game??

[Fridaey13txhOktober]

Swastikas banned in Germany, lol, those pussie bureaucrats and politicians do it for a reason, in the 3rd Reich they would have been sterilized for mental retardation and cowardice.

May they be in Nurgle´s harem.

[MrOnBicycle]

@Fridaey13txhOktober I see that Germany is still not a free country.

[Fridaey13txhOktober]

That is true and Germany´s problem will only be solvable once the current regime is gone.

[SuperTigerNo1]

sadly it would be illegal for me to have the flag mod! swastrika is banned in my country!

[TheWejdin]

Ive been trying to understand this game but its confusing as hell lol. Im watching this to try and get some idea how the avg person plays this game :P.

[AvidAngels]

Can i have this expansion?i have install hearts of iron III but dont have this semper fi

[CupHead27]

Do you recomend buying this game?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@CupHead27 I strongly recommend buying it, yes.

[CupHead27]

@ThePrussianPrince If i get it will you play with me?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@CupHead27 I'm not sure, I rarely play it nowadays if at all.

[CupHead27]

@ThePrussianPrince ok thats fine but if yourinterested just contact me sometime :)

[FixYourError]

i hate i hate i hatei FUCKING HATE the sound of your lips when you talk like *dllasldasdroh* sound ITS SO FUCKIG DIGUSTING

[Dinyang]

The Japanese Empire flag is ahistorical, they used the same as they do today the Hinomaru, not the Kyokujitsu.

[Chubzdoomer]

I had no idea GSP played Hearts of Iron 3!

[bujarzogaj]

Can you sand me the historical flag mod hearts of iron 3?

Thanks

Dytchman

[ThePrussianPrince]

@bujarzogaj The link to the mod is on my profile.

[FsimulatorX]

Do people play Multiplayer? Please respond i'm looking forward for this

[MegaNicker123]

does anyone know how to open the starting game dialogue so i can choose like if i wanna you a mod and stuff?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@MegaNicker123 Start hoi3.exe, not hoi3game.exe.

[9HK4]

@ThePrussianPrince

Does the flag mod change anything else than the German flag?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@9HK4 I believe it changes a few other flags as well.

[azerskater]

@9HK4 it changed the japanese flag

[spartons222]

@ThePrussianPrince where can i download this game :)

[DivineRevenant]

@spartons222 You can buy it on Steam. It is actually on sale right now if you are still interested.

[MrProphetofd]

Thanks for the tip Varcalox. Iv'e already went ahead with going straight to HOI 3. I'm just going to play germany 1936 and keep getting my ass kicked until I become more familiar with it. Is there a better scenairo or nation to play as a noob?

[MrProphetofd]

Good videos. I have hearts of iron 2 and 3 but never got around to learning it. too busy with total war etc. Do you suggest learning hoi 2 before hoi3?

[Varcalox]

@MrProphetofd

Nah, learn HoI3 directly.

I've played both 1 and 2 and im completely lost with the 3s interface lol.

[hazemvirus]

@Varcalox they made it way too complicated and some random events as well, in HOI3 the war always start on september and with russia 90% of the games invades on june 22nd, with this they always start the war between april and may and when you occupy all of the enemy country (Poland, Luxembourg, etc...) they always refuse to surrender and first of all france.......

[kingtwilliam]

QQ There is a version of this game set in medieval times But i can not for the life of me find out what its called if you know please reply

[ThePrussianPrince]

@kingtwilliam There is something similar in style to this made by the same company, it's called Europa Universalis 3. I think that's what you're looking for.

[kingtwilliam]

@ThePrussianPrince Thank you thank you thank you!

[g3st470]

@ThePrussianPrince Does anyone know,is there a mod for hoi 3 with casualties statistics?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@g3st470 I don't know about anything like that.

[GlassAxis13]

@kingtwilliam Crusader Kings

[GovernorBooberry]

@kingtwilliam

Crusader Kings, likely.

[xxxGlobberxxx]

dose hearts of iron 3 working on windows 7?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@xxxGlobberxxx Yes, it does.

[theo9e6]

götterdämmerung!!! haha wie geil! you talk it out funny!!!

[Matt68046]

can you help me with the historical flag mod, i cant seem to get anykind of mod to work

[mightythor11]

you lost me when you swicth to arcade,

[ThePrussianPrince]

@mightythor11 It was a mistake, I switched back later.

[rabies79]

Whats the difference between normal HOI3 and Semper Fi, is it much better, more features?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@rabies79 Yes, Semper Fi is better than HoI3, it arguably has more features, and it's less buggy. For The Motherland, the next expansion, has recently been released but at the moment it's quite buggy, so if you want to buy that, I'd advise you to wait until 1 or 2 patches arrive.

[rabies79]

@ThePrussianPrince Thanks :) i'm gonna buy Semper Fi now at steam sale, been waiting for such and occasion :)

[barrelshoved1]

@ThePrussianPrince Excuse me, but is it possible to edit the Victory Conditions with no Semper Fi expansion pack? I'm sorry I am new to the game.

[ThePrussianPrince]

@barrelshoved1 I don't think there are any victory conditions without Semper Fi.

[HoI3Hydroloc]

r u playing on windows or macintosh, because for my mac I dont have that game mode option or the Attack on the West event?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@HoI3Hydroloc Windows.

[TheMiddleEastSucks24]

Where are you from? I would say Germany but most of Prussia, or what was Prussia is part of Pollock land

[ThePrussianPrince]

@TheMiddleEastSucks24 I don't have Prussian origins, I'm not German, and I'm not Polish either. I just picked this name because I needed a nickname. I'm actually from Romania.

[PhoenixKDIX]

720p! WOOT WOOT!

[cipher88101]

A lot of cool information on a complex game and I appreciate it, but by 3 minutes in, I want to smash your mouse with a hammer.

[nutyperson]

have you ever thought of doing one from the tide has turned? or day of infamy or gotterdam?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@nutyperson Any scenario other than 1936 (and I think 1938) is unbalanced in my opinion.

[SyberiaDreams]

and what ,in romania if you halt communist flag you will be shooted

[ThePrussianPrince]

@SyberiaDreams Wait what? XD

[SyberiaDreams]

@ThePrussianPrince do you know that some 100 million human beings lost their lives as a result of Communist policies in the Soviet Union, Red China and other Communist states?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@SyberiaDreams Yes, that is true. But what about it?

[DanDieter]

What the combination between keys which are opening the HQ?

Help me plzz with this.

[ThePrussianPrince]

@ThebandnamedPACIS Sorry, this is what Starcraft 2 and Total War games make me do. XD It's a habit.

[B33fi]

could somebody upload the flag mod?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@B33fi Check my profile, there's a link to it.

[B33fi]

@ThePrussianPrince  awesome thx.. great channel btw

[CrazyAbdul1000]

the swastika isn't illegal in germany if you dont use it for nazithings. in austria it is legal you have it for example in games like call of duty in germany its forbitten to show it in games (i dont know why because in films it's allowed -.-) sorry for my bad english^^

[TheM3etalWolf]

@CrazyAbdul1000 Es macht keinen sinn, Stalin tötete vier millionen russen selbst, ohne zählen aller politischer morde, die er getan hat, aber der Hammer und Sichel ist keine schlechte sache gesehen!!! entschuldigen Sie meine abd Deutsch :)

[111seeit]

is this is semper fi or normal hoi3?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@111seeit Of course it's Semper Fi.

[folkrace4life]

where are you from ?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@folkrace4life Romania.

[DraugasLietuva]

@ThePrussianPrince Its cool that your from Romania but, you don't play as Romania. Because when I watch a Paradox game LP its usually some American playing as the US.

[ThePrussianPrince]

@DraugasLietuva I could play as Romania, but I've already promised to play as France next.

[VigisKane]

Its great seeing the swatstika flag and the imperial japanese flag, they should of been included in the original game, they make it much more realistic and rather scary if your playing against Germany

[ThePrussianPrince]

@VigisKane They should've been included, but if they were, they would not have been able to sell the game in Germany and Austria. That still makes me wonder why they didn't make a separate version for them (with different flags). As far as I know, the Russian one has the correct German flag.

[11marley122]

@VigisKane the swatstika is illegal in germany

[ThePrussianPrince]

@11marley122 It's also illegal in Austria if I recall correctly.

[11marley122]

@ThePrussianPrince yeah i belive it is. :)

[australianforlife]

hey it's me again,i just got my new computer and was wondering if you could give me the flag mod one more time?

[ThePrussianPrince]

@australianforlife Look on my channel, you can see the link to it.

[XenomorphsWrath]

"Götterdämmerung" is german and means "Armageddon" .. :)

thanks for playing that game HOI 2 was great but i realy dont understand how 3 works so maby i can get a hint while watching you playing the game :)

Xeno

[ThePrussianPrince]

@XenomorphsWrath Thanks for telling me that. :) But like HoI2, there are many ways you can play this game, there is no "right" way to play a nation in this game, but there are "wrong" ways, though.

[hendrik4314]

you always need the secret also if you are germany they started with secret weapons

[ThePrussianPrince]

@hendrik4314 You don't. By the time you get the secret weapons, it's already 44-45. And they aren't that good anyway, they only affect a province and lower national unity. Not worth the leadership effort, but late game (if it ever goes to that) if you can spam nukes, you can bring a really large nation to surrender just by taking a few of its VPs. I'm pretty sure that if you use 2 nukes on a nation, that nation will have its national unity lowered by 50% generally.

[fudenciojp]

I'm having such hard time on that game im not so patient so i use some cheat but i don't know how to move the army move supplies stuff like that. and i like to build some heavy tanks at the beginning of game is that a problem and help me cause i try and try and i don't accept the AI to play the game for me hehehe so theres any way of help me or any video showing how to play.

[ThePrussianPrince]

@fudenciojp What do you mean you don't know how to do that? To move armies you select them and right-click on where you want them to move, it's as simple as that. Supplies are automatically moved through land provinces, or if you're trying to support a naval invasion of let's say UK convoys will automatically transport supplies to the ports you conquer (assuming you allowed the AI to automatically create convoy routes).

[fudenciojp]

@ThePrussianPrince well ok thanks but i was thinking that is necessary like make some cargo planes or transporter ships im going to try what you say thanks for the awnser.

[ThePrussianPrince]

@fudenciojp Also, heavy armour is expensive and although strong, I would suggest you to build armour instead. It's cheaper, you can make more of it and its offensive capabilities are better when compared to heavy armour. Heavy armour is also slower.

[5680pertive568]

i think you do a good let's play, subbed ;D

[ThePrussianPrince]

@5680pertive568 Thanks!

[onetthome]

Dude! Why does ur version have swastikas?! I want Swastikas too!

[ThePrussianPrince]

@onetthome Have you checked my channel for the link to the mod which gives you them?

[soldier2975]

i kicked hitlers ass

[ThePrussianPrince]

@soldier2975 It's impossible, since during this Let's Play I am in fact Hitler, and no one has kicked my ass yet.

[GRMETAL90]

@ThePrussianPrince CCCP kick your ass any time and easy ;)

[ThePrussianPrince]

@GRMETAL90 Well, see my latest HoI3 videos then. Who kicks whose ass? :D

[EduEnYT]

UNBELIVEABLE!!!!! FAVORITED AND SUBSCRIBED!!!!

[ThePrussianPrince]

@EduEnYT XD? Thanks. You're so energetic.

[ThePrussianPrince]

@wolagin You can already play as Croatia if Germany decides to liberate it. There's a decision that does that I believe.

[strongman325]

I wouldn't use the Nazi flag for personal reasons.

[ThePrussianPrince]

@strongman325 Ah, yeah. I checked your channel and I saw that you're from Poland. I can understand now, that is perfectly fine.

[rylee8was8here]

play as Russia

[DuttyDoogz]

Any chance of sending me the flags mod? and i use DiDays ICE mod, will they both work together or will i have to swap files?
