What is the most fun country to play as?

[Joris]

What country and their ideoligy do you find the most fun to play as in HOI4?

[HoloYolo]

Poland as Non Aligned. Show Adolf that Polski slav man is OP.

Depends on the person, I personally prefer Italy over all else. They just have high flexibility, plus Facism gives you a wider range of possibilities(As well as communism). Add on a few Italian immersion mods and it is great.

Going on your own by creating your own factions is quite the thrill, just make sure to get allies before the Axis does as well aa Turkey being a high priority for your faction(They are a great hold for British Raj and Africa).

[_MeeGee_]

Romania or Turkey in multiplayer as fascist. You're always in the middle of the action and can provide some serious support with the extra manpower from fascist focus and with some extra factories from early conquests. You don't have to build all the tech. You can decide on some specialisms and work with your allies on a plan.

Ireland, I'm doing a Blueshirt game now with the Better Ireland mod. I've done games as Poland, Iran, Finland, USSR, and Britain.

Remember, 10 paratroopers can take all of Britain.

I've done it with three medium tank divisions and some battleships.

I like Japan, they get into the action early, multiple expansion directions requiring both the army and the navy, and they have the production and research capacity to keep them both (as well as their Air Force) reasonably up to date.

France.

With the French national focuses, you can choose to join the Allies, The Axis, the Commies, forge an entirely new faction, or to completely go alone. There's a wide range of possibilities here.

Rumor is, however, that if you play as the Soviets and let Trotsky win the civil war, there are some incredible scenarios that can play out after Stalin gets the boot, and I'm looking forward to checking them out.

If you are including mods I would say the Byzantine Empire mod for Greece. It is so fun to just conquer the enemies around you but it is hit and miss because there is a 33% chance that Italy will go to war with you.

Think i could get a link to this mod???

Japan is quite fun.

I personally prefer to play as Canada(I'm kind of biased here as I'm Canadian by heart) but base game Canada can't really do much (Not to mention in almost every game you get cucked by the United States when they for some reason get Newfoundland) so I use the Together for Victory mod which makes playing as one of the Commonwealth Countries a lot more fun but if the Commonwealth countries like Canada,Australia,New Zealand or South Africa aren't your taste you could always play as one of the Colonial Nations like British Raj,British Malaya or my personal Favorite out of them would be The Dutch East Indies cause you start of in a somewhat ♥♥♥♥♥♥ situation where your a intergrated puppet of the Netherlands however you can gain autonomy by having them buy some of your resources ans shiping them guns plus you start off with a ton of resorces and you have an insane ammount of manpower I also use a mod that gives a focus tree for both the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies which makes playing as them really fun however if we weren't to include mods I might go with one of the nations in waking the Tiger like Japan,Germany,Nationalist and Communist China or one of the warlords (my personal favorite out of the warlords is Guanxi Clieqe due to there decent ammount of manpower,production and resorces compared to the other warlords)

Good job necroing a two year old thread, speds.

I really enjoy Japan. You can expand to China, Siam, Raj, and the South Pacific and benefit from the resources. If you want you can team up with Germany and gang up on Russia on both sides.
