They can be tough though, so in this video I’ll give you a breakdown of the generic focus tree, what to focus on early to help you build up and have a fun game as a minor power!

-----------------------😁About Me😁-----------------------

My name is Hammo and I stream on Twitch! I play a variety of "map games" and strategy games, but my favourite game by far is Hearts of Iron IV.

I love this game and it's complexity, strategy and historical focus, but these are also reasons people can find it hard to get into Hoi4. The endless spreadsheets, statistics, buffs and debuffs can be overwhelming without someone to show you the ropes, which is where this channel comes in!

I will be creating and posting beginners guides, tutorials, walkthroughs, tips and tricks videos, just about everything I can to get you playing and enjoying Hearts of Iron IV as much as I do!

Creators that are inspirations to me include ISorrowproductions, Feedback Gaming, TommyKay, Bitt3rSteel, Alex the Rambler, Laith - TheSocial Streamers and Modest Pelican.
