Oh boy..
Along with all south America as cores
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
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
If anyone wants to do a HOI4 match and laugh i mean teach me, im down lol
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
HOI4 today?
I'm down
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
ngl i been playing south america lol
i was doin that before the update tho
you can do it from either end
dope
are HOI4 multiplayer matches an easy "drop in and drop out" or once you start the match, you are kinda stuck in it?
You can kinda drop in or out whenever, just depends
easier to be there at the start, and drop out later
Gotcha
Yeah, earlier the better for drop in, but drop out whenever
Haven't started yet, will soon for those interested.
Wish I could. I have easter stuff in a couple of hours
In arma class I've been trying to take for a while at this point
If we can get a group I'm down
I don't have the new dlc but I have the rest
so maybe someone who has all the DLCs can host
I've got all of em
perfecto
Newest one goes hard
Dumb question. If someone has all the DLCs and you join their game without all the DLC, can you play?
You can
You will have access to all of the host's DLC
regardless of what you own
Interesting. Thats cool
Same applies to really any Paradox game
I still dont know much about playing but id be down to clown lol
Just out right now. Maybe another hour ish
what nation do you usually play DAmico?
Ive been playing Italy from the tutorial
im down for a gsme today just say when

90195808299437071
90195809023772687
So today's game result is...
beauty
Chaos
A ton of fun though, we set the world on fire as a cursed Axis
Germany, Italy, Hungary, Ireland, and Iran
Robertson pulled it off nicely
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
We almost did had a fight who's gonna puppet Tanu Tuva and Brazil.
Next round I'll run a minor for sure, create a monster.
boi
Lol
Yup giant sale.
Whats cool is they are starting back up the Wareffort patches
Also this is Mulholland by the way boys. Had to make a new account. Discord tried to sheist me.
Always King Carol...
starting a game up with a few people if any yall want to join
Where at?
im in my side discord witha friend - ill send you an invite
bet
anyone else
I might come if my make up SP doesn't happen tonight
vanilla and no mods? all dlcs?
ok can I get an invite?
Starting in May i'm on summer break so i'd be down to play some HOI4 most Saturdays in May-July
I may be deployed for that time period
Will find out soon, prob in the next few weeks
But I'd be down for sure if I'm not gone
šš¼
Anyone up for Warhammer 3 tonight or tomorrow?
hopefully i will return, but if not it'll be a few months
before I forget, safe travels
š«”
I would like to co-op USA if anyone is down
If we can get a few people I'm down
yeah
I can play in 30ish
in it
Got another player to join us
We gaming today?
Off to sea m'lord
Damn another one?
Prepping for it, but we'll see
Interesting situation, this all is
Come back a second class
Wym
Damn what he do?
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
fucking hell
Ayy with the world in the state that it is kinda makes sense with having deployments like crazy. Everyone has their breaking point tho canāt push the men too hard.
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
Kiss ass
If you say so...
Tf
any hoi4 tonight?
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
Alright whoās willing to teach me how to play effectively? Iām rusty at the game and never could play it well during a drawn out war
How about tonight?
I got back late af last night
Tonight?
@feral quarry @karmic prairie @spring yarrow
Canāt tonight
info!
Damn, why am I just seeing this.
I'm also down to start a game back up like we used to...especially since it seems we got some more people. Could be fun.
Works for me
Yea i'm down. I can't host a game every Saturday but probably every other would work for me
I started a Saturday HLL pubbing event in our platoon from 12pm-4pm
Im pretty sure I could play this Saturday
I could do Saturday
what about sunday mornings-afternoon?
i can doeither this week
I wonāt be joining this week
i can do sunday morning thatd be better honestly
Yea, I actually wont be around this Saturday afternoon and we have SP sunday at 2pm est. Hopefully next Saturday should be better for me
I'd be down for a multipart game. We can play in 2-3 hour sessions
Yo, this still available to join?
Yea man absolutely
Good question lol
Well, I am free most days
And willing to make any time set
Just not Fridays as I play PF2e
I can play today or tmorrow morning
@spring yarrow @karmic prairie @torn trench @hard elk @wind olive @feral quarry @tacit ermine @small dagger
game time?
@analog gale
i dont mind playing its just a learning curve for me ā¤ļø
This weekend doesnāt work for me š Canāt make it
@spring yarrow @karmic prairie @torn trench @hard elk @wind olive @feral quarry @tacit ermine @small dagger @rustic locust @ripe cosmos @analog gale @stiff stone @night spoke @zealous crypt @covert pumice
HOI4 game tonight 6:30 PM EST
Rally <t:1717885800:R> in Company Lounge
https://discord.com/channels/109869242148491264/1128119286251143188
@round marten
@green vale @tacit ermine @versed pine @karmic prairie
@smoky rivet father they are calling you
If i wasnt busy tearing up carpet i would say sure maybe
Well carpet bomb that then
I may be there around 6:30. Got caught up going down to Indy
Turns out Iāll be in Indy a bit longer wonāt be there by start time
Moved rally location to C-Co company lounge since public VC's are being occupied randomly
Only 3 showed up
We'll plan again for tomorrow @ 5 PM EST <t:1717970400:R>
HOI4 Multiplayer game. Rally @ 5 PM EST
VC TBD based on availability
way to late for me i got school monday morning
Sorry guys, have my daughter today so couldnāt join. Just getting her to bed now.
too late to start rn š
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
im on leave so just pm me if i dont respond
If we do play tonight, what countries are we picking?
Are we all playing Axis or Allies? Or we just choosing whatever
Depends on how many ppl show up
But it will be pvp
Also, with that pfp, you better be watching the gp rn
We'll start doing pre-picks once I have an idea of who knows what they're doing / who doesn't š
Don't want a first timer on germany, soviets, etc.
ill be the newbie
There a game going on today?
im kinda new to multiplayer so idk if i should play a big role
in roughly 1 hour from now yea
in Voice Room 1
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.
@small dagger we gonna do the game today?
FTX's ran a little long
If we want to begin within the next 1 hour and have more than 6, i'm game
react if you wanna
honestly we probably won't have enough ppl again
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
Stumbled on this looking for a good WW2 book I haven't read. I play a really good non historical Poland
PvP only - whiners can get booted š
We have the ability to run high quality games so theyāll have to accept they can get better or be ok with Co-Opāing
Cooping in a pvp game is easily the best way to get good fast
Well if weāre having pvp count me out. I want a chill game and pvp tends to get sweaty.
But if anyone wants to play let me know. I donāt mind being in multiple games and can turn hot join on
You know hoi4 was made by a Swedish developer when they declare 20 degrees celsius as hot
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
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
Yeah I've heard Texas does that. Indiana you sometimes wonder if God is spinning a wheel and just letting it randomly decide
Where are you in Indiana? I was in Lawrencburg a few weekends ago buying fireworks and stopped at Hollywood Casino on the way back.
Fort Wayne?
Yep
Your 3 hours away from me give or take 10 minutes
Yeah
Takes me one hour and forty minutes to Toledo
I went there three weeks ago to the Zoo
@lilac cape you play hoi4? I seen you streaming it earlier
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
Yeah my guy! hoi4 is my favorite game. Shoot some times that work
Really any time after like 1700 EST, with some exception
How about Saturday or Sunday?
Oh well if it changes then we can choose a different day
Cool
some one up for a game?
rn?
Anyone free today
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
"7th Cavalry Gaming" the tag is "=7cav"
if not 7th Cavalry Gaming try 7th Cavalry Gaming Unit
Yeah Call to war is on steam
what is your username?
sorry
it is "Call of War"
I got the name mixed up with an old game I have
"Call of War: World War II"
Hearts of Iron IV: GƶtterdƤmmerung - Buy now! https://pdxint.at/EP1Store
Explore new alternate histories and geopolitical options for the key player in World War II, the German Reich. A larger German national focus tree takes center stage in this expansion, alongside smaller trees for Austria, Hungary and Belgium, as well as new scientific and ...
Finally they redo Germany ffs, same focus tree since release, 8 years ago bro
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
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
Well done. It seems you've finally cracked how the Navy works.
@karmic prairie @spring yarrow
Let's do a Axis game when the DLC drops
Yep
yea, I was definitely over thinking it in the past
One of those things where once it clicks, it's just like "Oh, THAT'S how it works!"
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
light cruisers + heavy ships of your choice is kinda how it goes
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
The changes made to designers is really nice too to get some nice bonuses
hell yeah, love the mios
mios are one of the best things they've done recently
true
mios?
I just started playing again after like...forever
tbh it makes doing certain builds way better
definitely.
like getting 1k soft and defense on 10widths is awesome
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.
I experiment with different inf in every game lol
I also feel like they improved how supply works
Italy's MIOs be like
Once you get the Industrial reorganization they become cracked as fuck
same with the tank refurbishment one for the ussr too
you unlock everything and you PUMP everything out
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
A celebrated war correspondent offers his eyewitness account of the desert campaign in North Africa during World War II, describing the epic conflict between Allied and Axis powers from 1940 to 1943, in a volume that incorporates the complete texts of The Mediterranean Front, A Year of Battle, an...
Reading this to get in the mood for the DLC
HOI4 tonight or tomorrow anyone?
Probably could
I would have tonight if I didnāt have to work
I'm down tomorrow
I'd love to but I have Midterm Exams in a few days. After that I'll have alot more free time
Oh shit, they're reworking Hungary too
Yea they didn't have a choice since Austria has a real focus tree.
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
It'll be evolved due to the new Hungarian tree, probably not harder, per se, rather just different.
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
Yea that makes sense
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?
Haha hell yea. Im honestly REALLY looking forward to this DLC.
It sounds like they will now start as a puppet of Britian
Stil... Can't reach Moscow
We're making it out of Stalingrad with this one boys
I have no idea what I'm doing (As per usual) but Greece is getting rolled
troops atritioning on the front line 
Still struggling
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
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
I should be off in an hour or so
Yea thats the best way to do it
I know the civil war is basically the exact same which is weird. They didn't want to change that aspect for some reason
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
Very true. Since in 1936 Hitler was already in power not much you could really do
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
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
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
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.
Interesting
Which makes sense
Special projects are lit too
Won't spoil anything
Raids are awesome too
Nukes are good now
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
I'm guessing Donitz can take over?
They can also get a female leader
Probably democracy
They added a button that highlights the historical focuses. Simple but very needed.
It's been in for a while, just not for every nation
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
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
So far it's good
You can't grab Guderian and Romel as generals at the start
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 š¦
Saves incomptability is a pretty normal thing
I canāt wait to try it this weekend. Iām terrible and donāt play too much, but itās always a blast to try to relearn
Funny this is what threw me off the most. The way I set up my starting units and armys requires 2 field marshalls and certain generals that are no longer there.
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
Ouu interesting
I like that
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
How fast you were able to gobble austria?
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
Bitterseel did it in 6 months
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
Yeah they're nuts
I havn't played Austria yet. Still mastering the new German tree. Me and Rhodes did a Germany/Italy Historical last night and crushed everyone. We stopped and saved around 1940. Need to do Barbarossa still.
can some one plz get me in on a match i am in HOI4 detox!!!!!!
Forming European Union in the game never felt fun and weird
Usually I just don't play Democracy
Any mod recs, I have the great war, road to 56, and kaiserreich
The Fire Rises, Perfect World, Kaiserredux
@mellow basin Here it is
You fellas doin a game?
Not at the moment. I'm showing him where the channel is. I would love to set up a game though
Ah gotcha
I think i'm free this weekend
I don't think I am, but I'll have to play by ear for it
thnks
road to 56 is the mod
and I fight against more than half of the world
allies + russia and it's countries
I gotcha, RT56 is goated
Game tends to not run too well at that point is what I meant lol
Oof
and i around 500
this is situation right now
jagers are in tundra and progressing slowly
and marines and armor destroyed india from behind
Over 1600 factories!
man I need that juice to survive this
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
Hell yeah
we should do another cav multiplayer session
Japan fucked around and found out
bonk
bonk
we should do a game this weekend
We should!
ye
I can't do it sadge...I got SAC in the morning, SP in the Afternoon then gotta get up super early because I am opening the store
I am either doing cav stuff or sleeping this weekend
oof
This has been a fun play through so far
For being an American, I've barely touched the US. Anytime i've tried to do non historical its a PITA. Was it easy to turn commie?
Actually, yes. it was very simple. You just gotta make sure you complete "Gurantee the American Dream" to prevent the neautral block from popping up. I then queue'd up about 24 divisions and deployed them after the CW popped off. Tossed on some artillery to my units and walked through the confederates in about 5 months. lol
Current Progress.
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.
Think my fastest conquest of a lot of stuff was Japan, funny enough
Wait no
Italy for sure. Roman Empire by 1939
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
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
That is crazy! Maybe I should do that in one game!
Poland is strong
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?
The India one?
Yea
Haven't even bought it.
It destroys India in MP so.
Now you have to have CW if you wanna hold against Japan.
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 āPutting 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
Does it specify naval invasion?
If so, you produce naval bombers and try channel, if not, go for skylion
No so the achievement requires the Netherlands to Sink all British Capital ships
But if theres no UK u can pop that achievement
Perhaps if anyone is free later we can get on a call?
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
The way I did it was capitulate the UK in regular Sea Lion, take navy then delete it.
Just kept the UK alive.
im also guessing my Sealion troops should have Logi support companys
Single player or multiplayer?
Single
Sorry 4 not responding. My internet cables got cut.
I personally use 40w marines with Amtracks.
Then Air supply.
Like rn?
Or?
I'm free tomorrow night around this time. But I gotta make a schedule rn.
Im free whenever. During the day ill most likely be asleep
Is anyone on?
I've taken a break until the new DLC
