it is done. the screencap looks so ugly tho ugh...
started with spain rivaling me so i allied savoy and venice half the game. was really struggling with gov cap literally until that gov reform for expand admin cost. juggling between truces sucked since i don't really pay attention. had no problem militarily all game long despite taking explo+expansion first. established quebec and tried to do lousiana but got memed on as they got full annexed by the natives and i could not interfere. savoy and venice got seperate peace'd and broke their alliance with me then join the coalition against me and i didn't notice it at all. plc got really gross i believe because i killed the ottermans while trying to help venice blob, eastern hre then got streamrolled easily by them since i had weaken the emperor. believe it or not i dismantled hre just recently, the only member being austria (emperor) and venice (normal member). was completely struggling with navy even tho i invested in it too, so i only bullied england once.

I had no idea they had changed this adviser to be so game changing. I checked around and it looks like of the nations with focus trees, only Romania and New Zealand also have one.
Soviets also have one but it isn't an expert.
And I'm not certain, but it looks like because it is a unique adviser trait that doesn't actually appear in the general's details (if the adviser is even a general, I think the German one is the only one that is) then you can't even level the trait up through extended use.

What should I do for my next goy4 game? Apparently the Congo is kind of broken. I wanted to do Paraguay last update but it was fairly difficult and I got bored, but I'm kind of interested in coming back to try it again.
I also discovered how insane the Airborne Assault adviser is, but I didn't get to really make much use of him in my Germany game since you're so insanely strong. I'm slightly tempted to do one of the alt paths and just use the Fallschirmjagers more heavily to take advantage of it. Alternatively, Romania and New Zealand also have the same adviser. It could be interesting to try and do the same thing with New Zealand but I'm sure it would be prohibitively difficult since you have almost zero manpower, I'd likely only be able to have a handful of para divisions. Romania could be neat but that whole region just isn't particularly interesting to me.

Another fun option I guess would be to do the China-aligned path. Get Qingdao, and then jump on Tokyo.

Aren't Italians always looked down upon for being Meds in these kind of race discourses? Weird that he said this when Napoleon also thought this way. But yeah, I wouldn't say Napoleon was French or Italian, he hoped for a united Europe, free of divisions and g*rmanic autism, a true visionary.

Have you guys heard how Spain starts with helicopters?

They don't and it irks me that parakikes didn't name it properly
>The Cierva C.30 is an autogyro designed by Juan de la Cierva and built under licence from the Cierva Autogiro Company by A V Roe & Co Ltd (Avro), Lioré-et-Olivier and Focke-Wulf.

>An autogyro (from Greek αὐτός and γύρος, "self-turning"), or gyroplane, is a class of rotorcraft that uses an unpowered rotor in free autorotation to develop lift. While similar to a helicopter rotor in appearance, the autogyro's unpowered rotor disc must have air flowing upward across it to make it rotate.

So MEFO's (based and redpilled MMT) are strictly worse than the cuckpath of economic recovery in every way right?
The only thing MEFO has going for it is based Goering in the inner circle, but you can't get rid of the debuffs until you take the caucases at which point the game is basically over.
>>
not strictly worse, they're better early game, they're less consumer goods until you finish the first 4 eco focuses, so you waste less time fixing the consoomer goods, plus you get your eco advisor cheaply
it's a question of when you wanna start building mils and how quickly you want to go to war

You can lose the debuffs in like 1938.
Overall, I think MEFO bills are way better for a human player that knows how to play. If you're in MP or something then yeah MEFO is trash. I don't think the AI can handle MEFO bills either.

Watch Narcos while fast forwarding. Though you can kick off war with Argentina and Brazil much earlier than I did. I'm still experimenting with different paths. I thought waiting would help maximize the foreign naval advisers I could get later due to a misconception. Also this path was tempting because you could get Total Mobilization fairly early on.
