I'm assuming higher pp gains?

snow trout
devout bobcat
#

Oh boy..

snow trout
#

Its crazy you get cores on all German states

devout bobcat
#

Along with all south America as cores

snow trout
#

Yea. Its an insane amount of manpower as well

#

I really want to do a Argentina/Brazil world conquest

#

Also Fascist Spain is a natural ally. You can do a few focuses that helps them in their civil war

devout bobcat
#

For Argentina you might wanna stall a little bit when taking Paraguay so Brazil complains about you

#

so they get the war goal on you, while being severely unprepared you will just eat them

#

It's just you need to keep the occupation really high which eats the manpower

smoky rivet
#

If anyone wants to do a HOI4 match and laugh i mean teach me, im down lol

karmic prairie
#

I'm down for one later today or tomorrow

#

I won't laugh at ya I promise, be glad you have people that can teach you. Had to teach myself everything since no one I knew played

tulip lagoon
#

HOI4 today?

karmic prairie
#

I'm down

tulip lagoon
#

im in voice room 1

#

@snow trout @devout bobcat @zealous crypt

karmic prairie
#

I'll hop in soon

#

You should check out the mod World War Zero

#

pretty sandbox like, but it's in the future so it's quite interesting

#

fight on the moon and whatnot

tulip lagoon
#

ngl i been playing south america lol

karmic prairie
#

fair

#

they fixed the portugal-brazil thing

tulip lagoon
#

i was doin that before the update tho

karmic prairie
#

you can do it from either end

tulip lagoon
#

dope

smoky rivet
#

are HOI4 multiplayer matches an easy "drop in and drop out" or once you start the match, you are kinda stuck in it?

karmic prairie
#

You can kinda drop in or out whenever, just depends

#

easier to be there at the start, and drop out later

smoky rivet
#

Gotcha

static marlin
#

Yeah, earlier the better for drop in, but drop out whenever

karmic prairie
#

Haven't started yet, will soon for those interested.

snow trout
#

Wish I could. I have easter stuff in a couple of hours

devout bobcat
#

In arma class I've been trying to take for a while at this point

feral quarry
#

karmic prairie
#

Newest one goes hard

feral quarry
#

I haven't played that one yet

#

smoky rivet
#

Dumb question. If someone has all the DLCs and you join their game without all the DLC, can you play?

karmic prairie
#

You can

#

You will have access to all of the host's DLC

#

regardless of what you own

smoky rivet
#

Interesting. Thats cool

karmic prairie
#

Same applies to really any Paradox game

How'd the game go yesterday?

I think I can host a game this Saturday

karmic prairie

Chaos

#

A ton of fun though, we set the world on fire as a cursed Axis

#

Germany, Italy, Hungary, Ireland, and Iran

snow trout
#

lol @ ireland

#

Did it work out for them?

karmic prairie
#

Robertson pulled it off nicely

feral quarry
#

It was a good game

#

Irish paratroopers were blasting everyone

snow trout
#

Lol hell yea

#

Paradrop the Brits and take their country. Not a bad idea

feral quarry
#

Germany and Ireland split UK at the end

#

There might be a fight between Germany and Ireland over who's beer will be sold in UK

devout bobcat
#

We almost did had a fight who's gonna puppet Tanu Tuva and Brazil.

snow trout
#

Lmao I wish I seen that shit

#

Next game imma play either Brazil or Argentina

karmic prairie

Prepping for it, but we'll see

tulip lagoon
karmic prairie
#

Interesting situation, this all is

tulip lagoon
#

Come back a second class

tulip lagoon
karmic prairie
#

Captain might get fired, might not go anywhere for a year

#

Who knows

tulip lagoon
#

Damn what he do?

karmic prairie
#

General disregard for the well-being of the crew.

#

Like half the crew is blowing up medical with mental health reports, and the captain got mad about it

#

So they reported the captain over that and other things

#

Keeps getting us sent on deployments and shit, while the crew is dying over here

devout bobcat
#

fucking hell

tulip lagoon
#

Ayy with the world in the state that it is kinda makes sense with having deployments like crazy. Everyone has their breaking point tho can’t push the men too hard.

karmic prairie
#

He's terrible all-round anyways, and the deployments aren't due to the world events

#

Just his need for personal gain

#

Wants to look good for the commodore

tulip lagoon
#

Kiss ass

devout bobcat
#

If you say so...

karmic prairie
feral quarry
#

any hoi4 tonight?

small dagger
#

Who here knows Black Ice well enough to teach a guy

#

this shit is immense

karmic prairie
#

Black Ice is ok, but I usually go for Total War Mod since it's still complex and challenging, just more manageable.

#

I'd help if I was home tho

tacit ermine
#

Alright who’s willing to teach me how to play effectively? I’m rusty at the game and never could play it well during a drawn out war

tulip lagoon
#

We playing a game this Saturday?

#

It’s been a while

feral quarry
#

How about tonight?

way to late for me i got school monday morning

ripe cosmos
#

Sorry guys, have my daughter today so couldn’t join. Just getting her to bed now.

hard elk
#

Anyone down to play right now?

#

I can't do tomorrow or Monday.

small dagger
#

also best to schedule these

#

going to try one day out for tomorrow and then if that turnout is still poor ( 6 or under )

We'll shoot for a week out for next weekend

analog gale
#

im on leave so just pm me if i dont respond

hard elk
#

If we do play tonight, what countries are we picking?

#

Are we all playing Axis or Allies? Or we just choosing whatever

static marlin
#

Depends on how many ppl show up

#

But it will be pvp

#

Also, with that pfp, you better be watching the gp rn

small dagger
analog gale
#

ill be the newbie

green vale
#

There a game going on today?

#

im kinda new to multiplayer so idk if i should play a big role

static marlin
#

in Voice Room 1

spring yarrow
#

Damn, sorry I missed the ping...would be dope to get a game going. FWIW I can play a fairly competent italy for Axis and a solid USA for allies. If you want something a bit wonky I can also play a decent porto-brasil for allies (non-historical of course).

#

haven't played a game in a hot minute though so if we could do a PVE game to start, that'd be sweet just to knock off the rust a bit.

static marlin
#

@small dagger we gonna do the game today?

small dagger
#

If we want to begin within the next 1 hour and have more than 6, i'm game

#

react if you wanna

static marlin
#

honestly we probably won't have enough ppl again

torn trench
# small dagger FTX's ran a little long

I'm down for a game but generally not PvP. The few I've ran devolved into Cav members getting salty at each other. I'm not sure of the regulars have even really tried PvP. PvE would be better to start until we get a competent team I'd think

#

I can play a top tier Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary and Romania. 2nd tier for me would be Bulgaria, UK and Russia.

#

Fridays and Saturdays would be my best days to play. I have SP as SL on Sunday 1900Z so Sundays aren't good for me

torn trench
#

Stumbled on this looking for a good WW2 book I haven't read. I play a really good non historical Poland

small dagger
static marlin
#

Cooping in a pvp game is easily the best way to get good fast

hard elk
#

Well if we’re having pvp count me out. I want a chill game and pvp tends to get sweaty.

hard elk
#

But if anyone wants to play let me know. I don’t mind being in multiple games and can turn hot join on

hard elk
#

You know hoi4 was made by a Swedish developer when they declare 20 degrees celsius as hot

ripe cosmos
#

lol

#

I saw a news thing about Britain canceling outdoor activities bc the temp a while back. When I looked at the conversion, It was like like 82f

It was currently 97f for me and I was working on a site in a metal warehouse for the 4th week in a row with no AC lol

hard elk
#

Haha

#

Yeah in hoi4 when it hits 20 C the game calls it hot and inflicts penalties

torn trench
#

Yup, they aren't use to the hot weather. I live in cincinnati and we get every type of weather there is and we are prepared for it but for instance in Houston, Texas they dont own a single snow plow truck and shut down the city for an inch of snow

hard elk
#

Yeah I've heard Texas does that. Indiana you sometimes wonder if God is spinning a wheel and just letting it randomly decide

torn trench
#

Where are you in Indiana? I was in Lawrencburg a few weekends ago buying fireworks and stopped at Hollywood Casino on the way back.

hard elk
#

I live in the Fort

#

About 30 min from Ohio border

torn trench
#

Fort Wayne?

hard elk
#

Yep

torn trench
#

Your 3 hours away from me give or take 10 minutes

hard elk
#

Yeah

#

Takes me one hour and forty minutes to Toledo

#

I went there three weeks ago to the Zoo

hard elk
#

@lilac cape you play hoi4? I seen you streaming it earlier

karmic prairie
#

Fellas down for Hoi4 sometime?

#

Seems I won't be leaving again for a minute, stars aligned and lucked out so we get to be home for a while

hard elk
karmic prairie
#

Really any time after like 1700 EST, with some exception

hard elk
#

How about Saturday or Sunday?

karmic prairie
#

I could prob do Sunday

#

Saturday is no go

hard elk
#

Alright

#

Yeah I got the usual TNT on Tuesday, SP on Wednesday, and PF2e on Fridays

karmic prairie
#

I'd normally do Saturday but I have duty that day

#

just how it lines up this week

hard elk
#

No worries

#

Alright so we can do Sunday say around 6 pm?

karmic prairie
#

Sounds good

#

I normally have SP at 7pm on Sundays but I'm ELOA rn

hard elk
#

Oh well if it changes then we can choose a different day

karmic prairie
#

I should be good to go for Sunday

#

Nothing going on for me

hard elk
#

Cool

Hey guys! Anyone heard of Call to War? It is a F2P game that is PC and mobile and is cross platform...I like the game and it is a weird version of hoi4...I made an alliance in it if anyone joins and wants to join some games together

rustic locust

nice

#

I do not find it

hard elk
#

if not 7th Cavalry Gaming try 7th Cavalry Gaming Unit

rustic locust
#

but I do not find the game lol

#

is Call to war in steam?

hard elk

Finally they redo Germany ffs, same focus tree since release, 8 years ago bro

slender ocean

I'm just excited for the nuke/wonder weapons rework

that and the raids bro

#

time to stage the raid on the watermark and fuck that nuclear program UP

slender ocean

If I can do some Saint Nazaire BS that would be great

#

Greatest raid of all time

karmic prairie
#

New German tree looks good so far, from the pics on Steam

#

Hopefully we can get some good naval trees and make Plan Z an actual thing

spring yarrow
#

whelp, the jap navy is now no more.

torn trench
#

@karmic prairie @spring yarrow

Let's do a Axis game when the DLC drops

karmic prairie
#

Yep

spring yarrow
karmic prairie
#

One of those things where once it clicks, it's just like "Oh, THAT'S how it works!"

spring yarrow
#

lol, yea. honestly, the onyl adjustment I made was just...adding cruisers and not worrying too much about overall fleet size.

#

also toss in like 10-15 subs into a carrier group lol

#

works well

static marlin
#

light cruisers + heavy ships of your choice is kinda how it goes

karmic prairie
#

Subs can help out a little bit

#

As long as your screens can fully screen the capitals while they sling lead and planes, you're golden

spring yarrow
#

The changes made to designers is really nice too to get some nice bonuses

karmic prairie
#

hell yeah, love the mios

static marlin
#

mios are one of the best things they've done recently

karmic prairie
#

true

spring yarrow
#

mios?

karmic prairie
#

military industrial organizations

#

the designers you spoke of

spring yarrow
#

oh ok

#

yea, before they were like..meh

#

now they're incredibly important

static marlin
#

no kidding

#

and knowing which ones to use is too

spring yarrow
#

I just started playing again after like...forever

static marlin
#

tbh it makes doing certain builds way better

spring yarrow
#

definitely.

static marlin
#

like getting 1k soft and defense on 10widths is awesome

spring yarrow
#

You can go with a more..heavier build and just give it the speed perks on the designer to offset

#

infantry builds is still somethign I'm tweaking.

static marlin
#

I experiment with different inf in every game lol

spring yarrow
#

I also feel like they improved how supply works

static marlin
#

depends on the countries mios too

#

a little

karmic prairie
#

Italy's MIOs be like

#

Once you get the Industrial reorganization they become cracked as fuck

static marlin
#

same with the tank refurbishment one for the ussr too

#

you unlock everything and you PUMP everything out

static marlin
#

I think I was getting 20 heavies a day, 50 mediums and thats not including the support shit it handles too

#

my favorite is when you max grumman as the US and your naval aircraft SMACK

#

and they have good range too

torn trench
#

Reading this to get in the mood for the DLC

karmic prairie
#

HOI4 tonight or tomorrow anyone?

devout bobcat
#

Probably could

hard elk
#

I would have tonight if I didn’t have to work

karmic prairie
#

I'm down tomorrow

torn trench
#

I'd love to but I have Midterm Exams in a few days. After that I'll have alot more free time

devout bobcat
#

Oh shit, they're reworking Hungary too

torn trench
#

Hungary becoming Austria-Hungary is probably going to be harder to do now I would think

#

I would think letting Austria build up and do their focus tree before gobbling them up as Hungary would make for a much stronger AH than normal

karmic prairie
#

It'll be evolved due to the new Hungarian tree, probably not harder, per se, rather just different.

torn trench
#

Interesting tidbit

The general shape and feeling of the old Hungarian focus tree has been preserved, while being expanded upon. The main difference to the old Hungarian tree however is that historical Hungary, though joining the Axis, now stays as non-aligned under Horthy. The reason for this is that when seeking to gain peace with the Allies and the Comintern and betray Germany, Hungary was invaded and Horthy was replaced by German puppets (with a bit of a back-and forth), the leader and party of whom is now the fascist party for Hungary, with its own branch if they are what you want to play.

#

though joining the Axis, now stays as non-aligned under Horthy

torn trench
#

Say whattttttt

#

India: The Raj is the jewel of the British Empire, rich and strategically vital. However, a growing independence movement threatens to disrupt the war effort and dissolve the empire. A large focus tree focused on the struggle of Indian Independence offers many alternate historical paths, including the revival of the East India Company as a corporate nation, as well as the possible freedom of the Princely States and the formation of Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Iran: Iran is a potential great power, hemmed in by the imperial pressure of the Soviet Union and the British Empire. A significant new Focus Tree allows the player to resist the imperial incursions that historically weakened Iran, as well as offering potential for a new and modern Persian Empire or an Islamic Revolution in the heart of Asia.

Iraq: Take control of this British client state and try to chart your own path, choosing to side against your overlord. Manage the many competing ethnic and religious factions in Iraq and develop the strategically important oil fields.

Afghanistan: The historic Graveyard of Empires, isolated from the wider war, offers many alternate paths. Continue the historical path of neutrality and isolation, or choose the road of rapid industrialization and building a new power in the mountains of Central Asia.

@night spoke Are you the one who loves playing in the middle east?

night spoke

yep lol

Iraqi Empire ftw

troops atritioning on the front line pain

devout bobcat
#

Still struggling

torn trench
#

Its finally out boys!

#

Going to play every version of Germany first

karmic prairie
#

And I'm stuck at work for now

#

I always run a historical Germany every major patch to see the differences, now it'll be a real test

#

Since Germany is the change

torn trench
#

Im kind of in the same boat. I'm meeting friends at the pub in a few hours so I'll barely get to test it

karmic prairie
#

I should be off in an hour or so

karmic prairie
#

Germany was always my "control" nation for any updates

#

Different now

torn trench
#

I know the civil war is basically the exact same which is weird. They didn't want to change that aspect for some reason

karmic prairie
#

There's decision and event chains for it

#

But mostly same

#

Fine by me tbh, it was good already

#

Ain't broke don't fix it

torn trench
#

Very true. Since in 1936 Hitler was already in power not much you could really do

karmic prairie
#

True, only option was to use the Wehrmacht

#

It gives events to see if you want to fight for the loyalty of the Kriegsmarine (Raeder) and whatnot

torn trench
karmic prairie
#

New MEFO system is cool

#

Turns into Economy of Conquest later if you run historical

#

Keep the economy afloat by conquering people and feeding territory to the Reichskommissariats

#

Now to go strangle someone into letting me go home

torn trench
#

I've stayed away from most of the diaries and spoilers so this is all new to me. Forts seem like they may be important now

#

Just looking at the tech tree alone suggest this is the biggest game changer DLC next to no step back with supply

karmic prairie
#

They reworked the system for them, and a lot of cool stuff is being done

#

Also, your advisors now RAISE the CP limit, rather than reducing it. So you are rewarded for a strong war cabinet.

torn trench
#

Interesting

karmic prairie
#

Which makes sense

#

Special projects are lit too

#

Won't spoil anything

#

Raids are awesome too

#

Nukes are good now

torn trench
#

I may actually invade the USA as Germany now. I've only done it once

#

I bet there is a achievment for nuking DC

#

Havnt looked yet

karmic prairie
#

There's not from what I know

There's some good achievements though

#

I'm guessing Donitz can take over?

#

They can also get a female leader

#

Probably democracy

karmic prairie
#

Any major Nazi can take over

#

Inner Circle system

torn trench
#

They added a button that highlights the historical focuses. Simple but very needed.

karmic prairie
#

It's been in for a while, just not for every nation

torn trench
#

Not the way its done now

#

Youll see

karmic prairie
#

Cool

#

I got off work so I'm on the way back to test it

torn trench
#

Hell yea

#

Let me know what you think in general. Also what you think is the new meta

karmic prairie
#

I'll give it a few runs before I go out later

#

See what sticks

#

Seems with this DLC I'll hit 5k hours

#

Eventually

torn trench
#

Im sitting at 3700. At least 100 of those are afk lol

#

I hope

karmic prairie
#

Probably yeah, loading times also add up

#

But then again, it's over the course of many years

#

For me I've been playing over 7 years and it's fairly evenly distributed, excluding this year

#

Haven't played much this year due to deployments

feral quarry
#

Ah man I really want to play this DLC

#

Looks so cool

karmic prairie
#

So far it's good

devout bobcat
#

You can't grab Guderian and Romel as generals at the start

karmic prairie
#

Correct

#

they're unlocked later through focus

devout bobcat
#

They are behind focus

#

2x 35 day focuses

#

Rheinland is also 35 day focus now

karmic prairie
#

Lots of focuses for many nations got reduced to 35 days

#

hella nice

devout bobcat
#

Hella nice, but I couldn't do Anschlus XD

#

man I suck so bad at this game and all my saves are incompatible with the new update 😦

Saves incomptability is a pretty normal thing

I can’t wait to try it this weekend. I’m terrible and don’t play too much, but it’s always a blast to try to relearn

torn trench
#

2 Field Marshalls, 5 Infantry generals, 1 armour general, 1 motorized general, 1 special forces general

#

This pic my tanks are in SCW already but this is generally how you want to set it up at the very start of the game

#

Start filling each general with infantry by working your way down the generals

#

Another thing I noticed is Germany starts with even ideology percantages for the most part. It use to be like 70% fascist at the start

#

Basically forcing you to take some of the decisions that boost whatever party you want to use, even fascist. Before it was kind of pointless

torn trench
#

It works really well and its easier to manage. September of 1939 you should have 5 x 24 infantry divisions, 5-6 Armour divisions and 5-6 motorized along with whatever special forces you want to use.

#

Im going to focus on paratroopers as Germany this playthrough

devout bobcat
#

How fast you were able to gobble austria?

torn trench
#

March or April of 1938

#

At the start of 1938 the requirements for Anschluss drops every week

#

Its pretty much impossible to rush it now

devout bobcat
#

Bitterseel did it in 6 months

torn trench
#

Im sure

#

He's crazy

#

He's also had the DLC for awhile

#

Did he put all his factories on cheap guns?

#

The real question is when to cancel MEFO Bills

#

Austria is WILD

#

I missed out on some polish clay but this is prob one of the most fun and powerful formables now

I managed to turn Monarchist Germany into The Holy Roman Empire in vanilla and went from 300ish factories to over 500 with the single HRE decision. Crazy

Commie USA is so broken. I'm on partial mobilization and have 5.1 manpower after sustaining 2.78 million losses. Im conquering EVERYTHING and have plenty of manpower to garrison.

this feels...broken.

tepid cove
#

I gotta try a commie USA run

#

you seem to be doing amazing

karmic prairie
#

Think my fastest conquest of a lot of stuff was Japan, funny enough

#

Wait no

#

Italy for sure. Roman Empire by 1939

static marlin
#

Early war germany for me, had all of Europe, Africa, and most of Asia by the end of 39

#

Paratroopers and transport planes do funny things

karmic prairie
#

this is true

#

is how i did rome

#

the other funny one was japan, invade france asap through german ports for naval invasions

#

then just whack europe

The newest DLC really dissapointed me so I havn't played since it released. I've seen all the patches to fix it. Is it any better now?

old folio
#

The India one?

torn trench
#

Yea

old folio
#

Haven't even bought it.
It destroys India in MP so.

#

Now you have to have CW if you wanna hold against Japan.

torn trench
#

The tree that initially came with the DLC was soooo bad. It was worse than any I have seen, including mods and I have a thousand hours in the mod scene alone lol

#

Like how you gonna add the East India Trading Company but leave the Dutch East India Trading Company out? That alone would be a cool little country pack/smaller DLC. Apparently they 3rd partied the DLC to someone who had no experience. That's what I hear anyway. Honestly they should have refunded everyone and pulled it off steam until it's fixed.

Wassup guys

#

I need help getting an achievement any tips on how to get ā€œPutting the Raid on the Medway to shameā€

#

I know its just Invade the UK as Netherlands but whats the best way to get across the North Sea or Channel

static marlin
#

Does it specify naval invasion?

#

If so, you produce naval bombers and try channel, if not, go for skylion

shy bane
#

But if theres no UK u can pop that achievement

#

Perhaps if anyone is free later we can get on a call?

static marlin
#

Ah, naval bombers and scout planes are all you need

#

They'll contest in the channel so have some ships on never engage/naval invasion support to lure them into the channel and just start blasting

#

They'll try and contest as long as you have something there, doesn't matter if it isn't doing anything

#

And the scout planes will increase your naval intel/where the boats are for your navs

#

Might take a little bit, but it should work

old folio
#

The way I did it was capitulate the UK in regular Sea Lion, take navy then delete it.

#

Just kept the UK alive.

shy bane
#

im also guessing my Sealion troops should have Logi support companys

#

Single player or multiplayer?
