Hey ISP,I'm a big fan of your HOI4 videos. I have recently tooken up hoi4 modding and decided to make a VERY MEME-MY mod for a state in modern day india and pakistan called Punjab. I was wondering if you would like to try it when it is done

Oh boy, something to fill in the howling silence!

The first 15 seconds hit like a goddamn T-34.

Not serious about that btw

ISP Windu when he doesn't know which side Zhukov will take:

HE'S TOO DANGEROUS TO BE LEFT ALIVE 😂

I would have liked to see how you stopped the Germans so easily.

🤣🤣🤣

No my day has been shit and I am not feeling chipper

"Grey skies, depression and onions"
Thoight you were gonna say France


Well no I never actually thought that but hey

I now want to see a 2-player game with Pope Roman Empire and Patriarch Third Rome.

I had the 3rd rome appear on my papal states run. Gave me a good chuckle

I always hate the very alt-history path for Russia. Just cause it always felt so rushed and half-assed. Like most of the FT is just preparing for a civil war. That civil war can be very tedious and boring to prepare for. Then when you do finally end, there's no cool paths really. You would think there could be a path dedicated to a Monarchy alliance between Japan and Russia. Such as a royal marriage between them or something. A path to ally with Manchuko and form a Sino-Russian pact, reclaiming China and enforcing Russia's will across the land.

Russia changed the name from Volgograd to Stalingrad again......they are moving backwards in time with Putin in command (It's real look it up)

I would like to see Bolivia. It has a interesting history during the 19th and 20th century, and Im curious what possibilities there are for Bolivia in the game

The whole "non releasing puppets" mechanic paradox keeps trying to add is very annoying.

"Mom can we have revolution?"
"We have revolution at home"
Revolution at home:

Ngl i clicked on the video cuz I thought that was Nicholas cage in the thumbnail

as a gravy baby this pleases me

You always said russioan, but aren't they now not romans?

You chose to execute Zhukov? Seriously?

That's Nicolas Cage!

The "Third Rome" theory was a historical and political concept that emerged in Russia during the medieval and early modern periods. It suggested that Moscow, as the successor to the Byzantine Empire, had inherited its legacy as the center of Orthodox Christianity and the rightful heir to Rome's imperial authority.

The idea of the Third Rome originated from the fall of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. With the demise of the Eastern Roman Empire, Russian intellectuals and religious figures began to perceive Moscow as the spiritual and political successor to Byzantium. They believed that Russia had a divine mission to preserve and propagate Orthodox Christianity, as well as to carry on the imperial traditions of Rome and Constantinople.

The concept gained significant prominence during the reign of Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible (1533-1584). Ivan sought to consolidate Russian power and establish Moscow as the "Third Rome" to solidify its legitimacy and authority. He promoted the idea that the Russian Tsar was the true ruler of the Orthodox world and that Moscow was the "New Jerusalem."

The notion of the Third Rome theory was closely tied to Russian Messianism, which emphasized Russia's exceptional destiny as a defender of traditional Christian values and the Orthodox faith. It conveyed the belief that Russia had a special role in protecting Christianity and opposing the Western powers, particularly Catholicism and Protestantism.

The Third Rome concept continued to be influential throughout Russian history, particularly among religious and nationalist circles. However, its significance varied over time and was often invoked or interpreted differently by different individuals and groups. Nonetheless, the idea of Moscow as the Third Rome has left a lasting cultural and historical impact in Russia.

Gravy Timmy is bathing in gravy of timmies

The only thing better than Third Rome is Second Breakfast.

As someone from Siberia I absolutely agree it sucks

I LOVE YOUR LAUGH!

The fact that there's a fucking Third Rome path but no Democratic path tells you just how much Paradox doesn't like Russia.

I like how in that Third Rome event, Paradox forgot that Russia is Orthodox and the Patriarch is a leader of an Orthodox church yet they put some text in Latin on the button on the event even though Latin isn't used by any Orthodox church lmao. Bit of an oopsie daisy there

i just saw the Russian AI declaring war on random nations and suddenly turned into "The Third Rome". i thought it looked cool and decided to look up on how to get that name on me. and here comes another waste of my life. please spare me, fate.

Losing 1.9M Troops against Greece is also insane. Germany had a great game I suppose...

Britain was a part of Rome, so getting a war goal on them makes sense.

And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
-Jeremiah 29:13

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.
-John 3:16

Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.
-Acts 3:19

If you’re in North America, please go check out any of the churches available to you: PCA, OPC, Rpcna, Urcna, or a canrc church
(These are conservative and actual Presbyterian churches)

If you can’t find one of the conservative presby churches then, maybe a Lcms Lutheran church

If you are Scottish, I recommend the Free Church of Scotland and the APC.
(Different from the Church of Scotland)

If you’re English I recommend the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England & Wales and the Free Church of England
(Different from the Church of England)

Also online you can look up church finders for each of the groups, it will show you locations

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
-Hebrews 10:24-25
