"The Volga Germans (German: Wolgadeutsche, pronounced [ˈvɔlɡaˌdɔɪ̯t͡ʃə] ⓘ; Russian: поволжские немцы, romanized: povolzhskiye nemtsy) are ethnic Germans who settled and historically lived along the Volga River in the region of southeastern European Russia around Saratov and close to Ukraine nearer to the south.

Recruited as immigrants to Russia in the 18th century, they were allowed to maintain their German culture, language, traditions and churches (Lutheran, Reformed, Catholics, Moravians and Mennonites). In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many Volga Germans emigrated to the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina.

After the October Revolution, the Volga German ASSR was established as an autonomous republic of the Russian SFSR. During World War II, the republic was abolished by the Soviet government and the Volga Germans were forcibly expelled to a number of areas in the hinterlands of the Soviet Union. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, many Volga Germans emigrated to Germany."

i have formed this nation 13 times past year! I WILL DEFEND FORMABLES UNTIL I DI-
dies

1965... do you... do you... do you like... uh.. pain? :D

@Mountaigeneral

The Volga germans all moved to Germany and North Dakota or got deported to Kazakhstan

There are many Germans that used to live near the Volga River now there are very few. Many have moved to Germany democratic Republic (East Germany) after WWII or to Germany after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

I have no civ but I must greed

Millions of chinese troops going to war in the name of north caucasian national union against the spanish empire be like:

Khabib will be proud of you

this is the most disgusting map i ever seen in my entire life

You know whats funny, the prisoner(penal) divisions are accualy 75% toards the step before veteran divisions

Gooning to this

HollowBeing's first word;
-En...Encirclement...

A few tips on playing absolute poverty trash like this:

- You can use civil war to dupe a focus factory (or triple dockyard focus). If you don't need dockyards or can't get them, MIC is best.
- This nation's core pop is on the borderline between whether fascism or communism is preferable. Generic tree communist got reworked to give 400 weekly manpower, which stacks with symbol of Marx manpower to get 900/week, or 46800 manpower yearly. For a nation with ~3M core pop, this is regenerating more than 5% core pop into manpower per 4 years. However, you can also get pop from non-core and puppet siphoning, and fascism justifies wars faster, making it generally better for WC. Communism is easier to get off the ground though.
- Cheapest division to break lines quickly is low width (10-12) with a bunch of soft attack support companies...particularly special forces to the extent you can. In superior firepower this offers competitive soft attack damage/w to most tank divisions after rocket arty, but can obviously be hard countered by high-hardness tank divisions. Good thing AI doesn't use those! GB and mass assault have merit too.

You know it's a long campaign when people born at the beginning of the game in 1936 are old enough to be conscripted and you aren't finished yet.

The provisional Russian government can’t join factions. I know because I’m currently suffering through a non-historical game where the central powers joined the Soviets against me. 😖

The volga germans are just germans brought in there from the era of Catherine the great

Maybe dont use shit infantry if you are a Minor power? just light tank with soft atk. Video is proof that if player ignores air or basic tanks its Joever

UI with timed pop-ups? That's definitely not modless, what's the mod called?

You got to go communist as these small nations the 500 weekly manpower is too good man

wouldn't it be better to go communist, since you get 2 400 weekly manpower buffs?

SUBBED!

I have never seen AI Germany going communist.

German Military Junta always wins, the "non junta" just have some kind of paramilitary divisions.
Also did you know Germany is technically a formable too? If you play as the shitty definetly not Germany nations (Like Prussia, Bavaria, Kashubia, Silesia etc.)

be communist and take loyalty 500+ mann power ever weekly. be worth it.

Being 13 years into the war, causing a lot of casualties and having all Russia still united in spirit in defeating you is definitely a genuine NorthCaucasus experience

Have you considered using the ultimate tech tree mod when you do stuff like this, it adds new tech from 1945-1990

YOU SHOULD'VE JOINED THE DAMN FINNISH FACTION GODDAMNIT!!!

hollowbeing invading azerbaijan is based as fuck

I am begging you to make the save for this game available. Idk why playing Dagestan resulted in one of the most interesting worlds I've ever seen.

Why remove saul goodman😡

Those insanely obscure formables are just more mounting proof that the devs DESPERATELY want to let loose and push HoI4 beyond its scope as a WW2 simulator and turn it into a grand strategy like EU and Victoria, except set beyond the industrial era. Even somewhere like the caucasus could be a genuinely fun place to play in if the game had a Millenium Dawn-style economic systems and better peace deals that didn't let you annex an entire country in one go, but the game's natural limitations keep reminding them that no, this is a WW2 game. Play as one of the two funny moustache men and know your place, gamer boy.
