Hearts Of Iron 4 Complete Beginners Guide | Part I: The Basics

This is the first part of a series of comprehensive guides dedicated to every aspect of HOI4. Today we will start with the basics, covering all of the main tabs, the interface, as well as managing our armies in a war. Moreover, we will talk about the best choices in terms of focuses and researches. For all of my guides I always make dedicated spreadsheets which include, in addition to focuses and researches, a list of all the steps required in order to succeed. These spreadsheets are exclusive to members (Colonel rank) of the channel, in addition to several other perks!
