Im too lazy to change my steam download region. There is no point, because i rarely play germany anyways
german version in germany has some censoring
its weird seeing the censoring ngl
dose anyone knows how to get the naval arms race achievement its where you get the navy in charge of Germany
You can do that as any German state
why does garmany want to give slovakia for danzig on historical ?
because you're playing non historical france - germany will go off historical then
Do you need to take hungarys claims or just cores to get Australia Hungary achievement?
cores
Wdym?
It was one of the non red saved
how to get admiral leader for germany
how to get it
that was BEFORE DLC
In today's video, I show you a secret country leader which can rule the Holy Roman Empire in Vanilla Hearts of Iron IV.

The Holy Roman Empire, also known as the Holy Roman Empire o...
Rally the Whermacht,
Event fires a few days in. Accept Raeder's offer
Don't do it
Raeder coups and pick the one that puts him in charge
Doesn't work if you go communist btw
how to get kaiserin right now
Do you mean with or without the Dlc?
Oh with new dlc
right, so rallly the wehrmacht obviously, don't forget to sharpen air safety regulations to save the hindenburg. Then do focuses all the way to return of the kaiser. At the completion of that focus, make sure you have zero army, to let the netherlands feel safe enough not to return wilhelm II to you
Then do expatriate the communists and follow the naval-political tree towards the cooperation with the UK. Also do all the decisions regarding wilhelm III and the succession laws. At that point you can ask to restore british titles
many thinks
thanks
i tryied for many hours can not complete
no decision related to wihelm 3
netherlands are conquered?
i justified it before rally wehchmar and get wihelm II then attack them
Do you have Max relations?
U know what would be a hard challenge
Get 0 manpower
As China
Should we say scraping the barrel too
8 days for a challenge
Thats ez
U just train small units and convert them into massive units
Which china
Ok too ez
Hardest part will be getting scraping the barrel conscription law
Yah
Where dafaq is that hard?
Just let japan occupy half of your country
yeah true
its not hard at all
its ez challenge
What is the template with the greatest possible attack?
i would say medium or heavy tank howitzers
with i guess the 2 super heavy howitzers
i guess supp arty?
any polish people here?
ja
2 days for challenge!!
Can we do this.
People struggle taking out the UK now, so possibly an actual challenge now
encircle the highest amount of divisions on london
that's basically like argentina challenge but you play germany😂
This isn't based on the date, but the time
If you win in 1937, but it took you 50 days compared to someone who won in 1955 but won in 39 days. The 1955 game won as it is based on how quickly you take out the Allies (France and Britain)
Get it Reich This Time Challenge Rules
As Historical Germany, Create a RE-Militarised zone surrounding your borders using Reichskommissariats.
-Must start as Germany in the 1936 Scenario with Ironman enabled
-You cannot change Ideology nor your starting country, and must use the Historical Branch of Germany
-No Mods are allowed except Graphical ones (Leader portraits, map mods etc are okay, NO MODS LIKE RT56) and it must be done on the latest patch, 1.15.1, or newer.
-This Challenge will NOT be timed, just achieve the Challenge requirements and you will be entered. The winner of this challenge will be chosen by RNG (Random Number Generator) so as to be impartial, so just complete the requirements properly and you will be entered.
-You must be at peace when submitting your run, if you are still at war it will not count.
The requirement of the challenge is: Have a Reichskommissariat on every side of your borders (excluding ones bordering water)
-Required Screenshots are one showing all of your borders touching a Reichskommissariat
One screenshot showing your Reichskommissariat diplomacy screen and one showing that you have Ironman Enabled (The Ironman enabled can be the same as the diplomacy screenshot)
Unit Restrictions: The only Unit restriction are Paratroopers, the rest is allowed. (I DO want to see some of the special projects so include those in a screenshot!)
Sigma?
Oh this looks like a chance to rush jet fighters
Anyone got a list of RKs?
Also if we decide to play ahistorical, if Sweden, or Norway goes down their German collaboration routes, do they count as RKs or are they not true RKs despite having the name
is an easy challenge, but I do not think they should count, but if people think they should I won't disallow it
I was thinking because I'm pretty sure there would be no other way to get an RK Nordland or whatever the Germans would have named it
Based on the image from the dev diary
I can allow it in that case, sure
essentially yes
time to rush the land cruiser and nukes 😏 i will use my whole industry to do it
Imma do war in 2036
netherlands, belgium, ukraine, outland, norway, iberia, balkan, czech republic, part of poland, britain, and a lot of russian ones
i could of missed some though
oh and more in north america but it doesn’t really matter
What does remilitarized mean
U know how at 1936
Germany has the border with France
The red provinces
That means no military presence in it
france doesn't have a reichskomissariat as far as I know, so are you just supposed to annex or puppet it?
Probably annex and just make Spain a RK
Aswell as Italy
you can probably just annex switzerland italy and france then do iberia and balkan
What does remilitarized mean?
i said so a few messages ago
you just need to make sure the borders you have are surrounded by the RK's
check the pinned comment in this channel, it details it
so basically in peace treaties you can give the RKs land, so they border you?
essentially yeah, this is an easier challenge and just makes use of some of the features added for free with GDRs release 🙂
do we have to be at peace, for example being at war with ussr but still form rks so you don’t border them anymore
i don't understand the challenge?
do you need to make all your borders border a rk?
as with all challenges, you must be at peace yes
though I will add that back into the additional rules just to be clear for everyone else
does normal puppet scount?
maybe this helps
Does vichy France count as an rk? or do we need ot give that land someone else
Also wondering what to do with Italy....
i think the best way is to not annex austria
Yeah but there isn't an Austrian RK
So there is still that border
yah
does the generalgouvernement count as a rk or do i need a different one there
yes it does
give it to Reichskommisariat Arabien
how will you give it?
In the peace confrence give the land to someone else
You still do need to set up the balakn one though
andthen set up a bunch of puppets from the french and britsh colnies
can't you just get 1 rk and get all borders covered
slovakia doesnt count as a reichkomisirat?
wdym by "historical" germany
is it only being facist
so can i like invade netherlands in '36
and like do a different eco law and military doctrine
in the focuses
and can i do danzig for slovakia
Yeah you just have to be facist
and why would you do danzig for slovakia you have to invade them anyayws
historical meaning the historical tree, which was given to everyone for free
when GDR released
ALR
cuz i think slovakia isnt a reichskomirat
its going good so far
well you need to be at peace
For the sake of simplicity, does the Strait between Denmark and Sweden count as land or water
so this is what I am going to be aiming for
(you can't see it but i gave the border between yugo/italy and austria to someone else
what is GDR?
new dlc
i think pdx might have to come up with an easier dlc name next time 😂
😦 i hoped it stands for german democratic republic
which cant spawn anymore since BBA
I miss my Klaus Klauser, he was the Klausest of them all
denmark has to be a rk too
Does the gap between Sweden and denmark count as a land border?
idk but if you don't have border in denmark you will not border sweden
true
do I have to be completely historical or can I go with prussian legacy and prioritize economic growth?
You just need to do historicall poltics (so Hitler)
also for france and italy are regular puppets(or collabs) good too?
you just need RK
Yeah but for france and italy there aren’t any rks
give it to others RK
I do not believe there is an RK Denmark
Sweden's RK is locked behind a focus tree
give it to norway rk
Talking about Norway RK...
What ever happened to Norway exploding into civil war
what
gg i did it
4 year plan
That’s mefo right
yes
water
HAAAAANK DONT ANNEX A MINOR JESSE, YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE MILLION DIV TEMPLATES
HAANK
will it count if i made a WC and then released all the commisariats?
technically... yes
finished some map painting in grey...
where do i post it then lol
What is that Burgundy state?
its not a land border
oh I just game the land to RK beligum + north france
Good idea
What is meant by the Reichskommissariat diplomacy screen for a screenshot? As in the decisions tab for the RKs?
like the 2nd image in Gustavo's submission is my preference
Quick question, when spectating a match ai vs ai, what difficulty should i put for the ai?
or if there are a list of match setting that are optimal that would be nice to have
kk tysm
i also notice that AI doesnt use Paratroopers, dunno if thats a bug or something
Its not a bug bc devs said that most of players “couldnt def” against ai paratroopers
the ai would probably favor suicide missions onto victory points and ports, which are more annoying than strategic
Question
Do reichkommisariat level puppets count
Or only formable reichkommisariats from decisions
only decision
is it about speed or not?
nope, just have to achieve the challenge
thank god its not about speed
capped france in late 36 but had no reichkommisariats
so i messed the borders
i could have finished in may 37
doesnt say anything about needing to be at peace
it does lol
where
Get it Reich This Time
As Historical Germany, create a Remilitarised zone
surrounding your borders using Reichskommissariats
Note that only ONE entry will be accepted, if you
submit more than one they will be discarded
This isn't a discussion channel and is only
for submissions to the current HOI challenge, I will
have to remove messages that are not submissions
literally doesnt
Cool yours is also invalid then u border turkey
Why tf would i look here
Or iraq
Where does he border turkey
He is surrounded by RKs
He controls syria
My run took me 30 min i dont care
i just release syria lol
i mean honestly does ir even matter
the challenge isnt timed
ur getting drawn randomly💀
I finally done it, it was sooo much pain
i just want to know how it is possible ?
Early truck wasn’t a thing back than
So devs prob just forgor to add it
ok tanks
ur only allowed one submsission
bro is blind
i deleted my previous submisssion
LOL
Where are the challanges
@empty lintel anything wrong now
@delicate temple @strange tendon If you have a mod with a swastika in it, you must censor the image of it as they are not allowed in the discord. For Mort it was in your diploscreen at the top, and for Tramacon the flag.
Please reupload your submissions before thursday so that you can still be entered
Alr good to know
I'd rather you get a submission in than not say anything, so thanks for reuploading 🙂
W chak as always
Oh sorry I didn't even realize
how does one conquer the world as germany
kill uk fra japan ussr usa and japan and china
peace deal usa on a tiny island with their navy
so they stay a major
than declare on them again
but dont cap them
and go ham with ur 20 days justifications on minors
Is there a country you can get a lot of achievments in one run?
I just got like 17 in one germany run
russia

Unit Restrictions/Requirements: No Paratroopers allowed and you must build at least one division with a Land Cruiser in it
just need cap axis and allies 🙂
have fun
0 mils go weee
Im not doing this, way too much pain
Chak, can we get a reroll
i only expect one person finding an exploit and doing it in 38
and only then we all realize it was just a waste of our time
i mean this challenge is like the argentina challenge
Peak challenge
One problem, if you do not own GDR, you don't have the Belgian Congo on the map
what does the map look like without it, it should be there regardless no? It was when I checked before
that is odd, it was supposed to be there, give me some time to think about it as I am not quite sure there is a solution for it at this time
releaseable?
but thats boring
do a man in the high castle thing fr
as either japan or germany get ur countries borders
god germany got a good cut of the deal
There is a releasable yes, will add that into the additional rules just to clarify
aw man
okay there should be the Congolese State that can be released if you do not have GDR, its unfortunately a default tree but still usable
as it affects gameplay, no
damn
Is unfortunate, my fault for not triple checking instead of double checking
fumbled
Does disabling the dlc count as not owning it? Getting a land cruiser is a lot slower than getting the flame tank
technically yes
I don't particularly like it, as I want to see a Landcruiser in a difficult challenge, but by technicality yes it does
@glad vector DESTROY THOSE BELGIANS! THATS AN ORDER
Again?...
Its never enough
and portugal and spain
when do entries close, and how do I take an SS to prove its iron man??? also if u dont have gotterdamerung cant u js not get the land cruiser?
I'm gonna be honest I hate these borders w a passion they look so wrong
the js like split down america tho 😭 and yeah like u said germany taking basically everything
Unfair
I mean what's really going to take the longest is getting the land crusier
The screenshots are listed in the rules, but specifically for ironman look at this submission from the previous challenge #challenge-submissions message
You have to hover over the trophy icon
If you do not have gotterdamerung, then you have to do either a flame tank or similar, as those without GDR cannot make a landcruiser ofc
i think they shall create a flame tank with super-heavy tank support company
Hello
In the photos you can see that I have some rent and loan that I don't know how to get out
And every time I want to produce that weapon it gets stuck at 34300
Does anyone know how to help me?
Both of them did
which is cursed cause i think u cant release it with rwanda and burundi lmao
since its timed sadly u cant play it with the dlc
I see we are going strong with no one doing it yet lmao
people are probably just waiting to submit as late as possible to sandbag their times
Its boring af challange and takes a god damn while
Im pretty sure no one actually will optimize the time
this is clearly doable but no idea how to optimize the time
😭 enjoy save/load 100 times to drop paratroopers
The problem is that you are not allowed to play with paratroopers
Most of the times I end up in a war against allies in 37 which is not fun
There might actually not be a single run which achieved the end goal
its doable
liu just need to snipe netherlands navy
and the rest is time
theres prob is a more optimal way
the cost is just ur mental health
Well
I have no tank deisgner no land cruiser dlcs
Am i able to complete the challenge?
Yes
According to the wiki flame tank is just with nsb
I still need to figure out flipping communist....
It may be that you are unable to complete this challenge, for which I apologise. Trying to come up with a challenge that makes use of new trees/mechanics sometimes cannot be done by everyone, and I do not want to repeat the same exact challenge every game using base game as that'd be less fun for many
The next challenge will be one that can be done without DLC's, though, so do not fret
Ok np
Can you play without GDR, and start as Belgium and then release Congo as a puppet?
For memes of course
^
I see we are going strong rn with submissons
Yup
Did it ever happen that nobody did the challenge?
it has been close but every challenge has been completed by someone
for one such as this, most of the time its last second submissions (within the last few days) so that there is less time for people to minmax it and beat them
of course if no on completes the challenge, though, then nobody wins anything 
Still figuring it out actually
I might just post the attempt of me doing it
Chak, if no one else posts, and I post an attempt could I get a prize
Not the 1st place
But Yknow
Puppets are generally not allowed, but you may have one for the land in Europe you take.
We cant create puppets throughout the run, or we just need to integrate them before the submission?
in africa
in africa you need to integrate before submission
I dont like people using puppets bc they like to cheese things with them but if they're integrated before the submission I am fine with it this time
Does the Land Cruiser have to actually be used in battle or just as a parade piece?
just gotta have it
it'd be cool if it was used but it's really just a parade piece,yes
@solid gust What happens if our save bugs out?
@haughty fiber I think all of Africa must be controlled by 1 nation
define save bugs out
The game gave me the wrong tag
which tag did it give you?
For some reason I did the Communist uprising focus, but it gave me the Belgian Congo tag
Civil war one, but I also did the joint tree, so I am wondering if that bugged it out
interesting
if anything, in your submission attach the screenshot of the Focus tree showing you went down the civil war part of it and I will think on it
So long as you did attempt the challenge properly I see no issue in it, but I would also recommend you doing a bug report since that bug would drive me crazy
Its just I have literally no way to break free of the Belgians now
thats because Belgium did that one focus all the way at the bottom
wait no its not
i cant read it lmao
I took national committee of Liberation early to stop that from happening
No it did not
I'll just start over
Unless I am allowed to deironman it and annex myself
That I cannot allow, if I allowed that in this instance I'd have to allow it in the future and people would try and use that as a way to cheese (it has happened in the past)
Well time to restart
I mean its not a major issue because I have discovered certain focuses I thought were good are infact useless
Like trying to break away by force
damn, a challenge so hard, noone submitted yet except 1
mr chak, i have an easier challenge as idea for next time
Just wondering, did someone actually manage to complete the challenge and is waiting for a last minute post?
it wasnt fun
@worthy vapor Did you immediately rebel?
No
How on earth did you win the civil war then?
Huh its rlly easy, change all divs u have to like anti air (make sure to deploy like 24 2widths first)
In my case they immediately called the Allies in
Well u need to do it before ww2 ofc
congrats for at least getting a prize @worthy vapor
I gave it a few half-assed attempts and then gave up. Might try again. But this one seems hard and not too interesting 😦
Same. I usually end up in a mega war and just give up. I might also try one more run but since the challenge is ending today I don't think I'll have a submission
I might also have a plan but I think the challenge is ending soon
I gotta lock in
@solid gust When does the challenge end?
the 26th
So the challenge got extended by a week? Nice
Then I ll lock in too
..no? the current challenge started on the 12th
waita minute
U should make it end on the 24th fr
It happens
got em' mixed up
Hello. Please help me, problem with icon esc.submarine.
It only appears in Japan. There is no such bug in the USA.
hard challenge
wait a minute, you gave up?
thats not the antasil i know
the antasil i know is only too scared to try bicycle only wilhelmina european union#
but he would succeed with what he already started
cringe that this antasil dude never tried that out ngl
how long is the sale going to last?
i only now realized that puppets are not allowed
whole the focus tree (and decisions) literally are all about giving you puppets in Africa
just have to integrate before submitting is all
@floral ether u need a landcruiser deployed
I don't see it. Where does it say?
here
thx
@floral ether the land cruisers are obviously from after 42
u are even covering up the time
if it was the same day u wouldnt have 71 more air xp

oh wait nah u loaded the game without ironman since u dont show that
and u prob gave yourself xp to make the landcruiser or smth
and apparently u didnt know that u needed to make landcruisers but u just randomly decided to deploy/build 24 anyways
ah yes
Yeah also that division itself is strange like who uses 1 battalion of heavies as a division
u could explain that as a garrison div , but u would never deploy it ofc lol
alr nah its heavy tank 3
so advanced heavy tank
bruh hes not even trying to hide it
hes him
he also researched that and its like as late as super heavies which u need to even start the special project
Also I found definite proof the three screenshots aren't the same date
According to Hoi IV's own calculations there is a 2.7 year gap between the two screenshots minimum
Look at his fuel
lmao right
thats cause he reloaded the game without ironman
the game at start thinks u have full fuel
its the same look at factory count
unless he wasnt building mil
Yeah but there is also 35pp, 5 army xp, and 184 navy xp missing and he has gained 71 air xp in addition to the fuel, so it can't possibly be the same date
it looks like she shitted out the landcruisers before the final date
actually idk
They claimed they didn't see the requirement
Plus who randomly makes advanced heavies and land cruisers as Congo
Merry question my german hoi4 playing challengers (and Finland, Czech Republic, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Argentina, Colombia, and Brazil)
The fact that he put the division screen above the time and ironman counters, is proof enough
If he doesnt change that (which he had tine to do now). Im 100% certain hes either in ironman or a later date.
another one faking his run? 
reminds of a certain rhineland gambit fake
I totally relate though - if I had managed to pull off a conquest of this size with Congo (which I didn't, btw) and I would have forgotten the landcruiser I would just totally edit that in 😆
though perhaps more glaringly obvious since my photoshop skills are underdeveloped 😉
U would have to edit it pixel by pixel
that sounds like work
It’s not really that much
Just the pixels around the achievements thing
Yknow what would be cool
As a non colonial country
Puppet or annex the colonial ones
Like UK, France , Netherlands, Portugal, Spain,
Easy, mass mob Germany time
I feel like Germany could be excluded since they are all in the same continent
And close
Nah fr tho what y'all doing? Early af too 1941? How lol theres gotta be some combination of focuses thats correct
Or is it typical rush civil war bust out
@floral ether you mind running me through how you achieved your submission? (this is the thing I do to all 'difficult' challenge potential winners, not tryna single you out dw)
if I do not receive a response before <t:1735228800:T> then I will need @real wedge to be on standby for their submission explanation, please and thank you
It’s joever
the next challenge will still go out at around the same time (<t:1735228800:T>) but if no one responds then I guess no one gets a prize 
If no one responds can I win
you didnt even submit lmao
pls?
What happened if we win, but we already own everything?
you can grab a dlc for a friend/family
I can use it on the 2025 DLC?
Actually wait I don't have everything although I suspect the sabaton ones don't count
sabaton can be grabbed, yes
the only ones that are not allowed are the TOA, GDR and the content creator pack
basically the most recent stuff
If you want, I have a spare key for the Lamplighters league
(i never even heard of that)
the last submission has no generals but field marshal's

i swear we did this challenge before
I'm confused how this work
be communist
Are there like requirement on how much equipment to give
How do I show in screenshot that I have send the equipment to how much nation
last year it was specifically the US and lend lease at least 8 countries
oh yea right
now i remember
this one is an ez pz one for everyone 🙂
(this is me tryna give everybody literally the easiest chance to participate/win)
I think I will just play as Communist Sweden and chill
diplo screen
showing your active lend leases
Does Germany has the focus to kill Sweden
i think yeah
but they wont attack you if you play historical
Do I get into a civil war if I play Communist
Ok after a test, I don't
Yeah this challenge will be east
easy
commie luxembourg?
Does the Chinese warlords count as different countries or are they all just China
Its too easy so I'm skeptical
turns out I hadn't played Communist Finland yet (or forgot about it)
Does time matter in this challenge?
No
why would u need to flip, its lend leases
because its the holidays communism meme
so take a country that is not communist and get em' into the holiday meme spirit
has anyone ever played a turkey run to ottoman empire?
yes
Don’t think so. You have to be not communist at the start.
does it matter if i am a formable country from a mod or
no
it needs to be iron man
only graphical mods are allowed, if it changes gameplay (this includes formables) then it is not allowed
alright
counts spanish anarchism as communist? if not, those ethiopian anarchism counts as communism?
its not like i want to play anarchism, im just asking stupid stupid questions out of boredom
btw, i dont know if its still the case but before Götterdämmerung, is it like you pdx people do that on porpuse only to annoy me?
why is it, that the only anarcho communist european leader, who is european was a damn belgian?
I refuse to count in Gorkin
and anarchist commune is non aligned. thats why im asking this question in first place. while on the other hand ethiopian anarchism is communist as ruling party. (I have too much free time for thinking about such irrelevant stuff)
but like why? why do you guys give the second most rarest communist sub ideology to a belgian guy? why man, why?
In this challenge, no it does not count.
As for the other stuff, its most likely due to content being done at a later date than others, or it simply not fitting the theme of a given country.
If you wanna see more of it you could make a suggestion on the forums perhaps
Also late reply from me, I had a lot to do yesterday
Reminder that the challenge ends in 2 days, after which a 'difficult' challenge comes out. make sure to get your entries in before time runs out 🙂
Does the next challenge include naval invasions
if the challenge is with a minor nation shouldn't it be unfair if it involves battling the allies?
because uk now it's almost impossible to invade with a minor
I know plenty of people who can invade it as a minor nation now, it just requires more strategy, and ofc some luck as it did before
that being said, it does not involve the UK this time around
Thx for edit
Now it’s invading the USA and Japan as the Philippines
To create the pacific Union
😭
Why did bro play historical Lithuania
Not everyone is a pro
But yes
It’s not as hard as people think
Especially now that Germany collapses in 6 months
I should give it another try then with the new update then
Anschluss Adjustments Challenge Rules
As Austria, Anschluss Germany before they can do it to you as fast as possible.
-Must begin as Austria in the 1936 Scenario, with Ironman Enabled and you cannot change countries at any time.
-NO MODS ALLOWED OUTSIDE OF GRAPHICAL ONES
-This challenge is TIME BASED, the fastest in-game time to achieve the challenge wins. For the entry to count, you must be at peace at the time of posting.
-The prospective winner of the challenge must be available at least one hour before the challenge ends to be able to explain how they achieved their run, or it will go to the second fastest run to do so.
-You must own all of Germany's 1936 land for the challenge to be achieved.
Gameplay restrictions and Rules
-Puppets are allowed, though not sure you'll have time for it
-There are No Required units, but for fun use some special projects if you can
-No Paratroopers
-AI must be set to Historical
Required Screenshots
-One screenshot hovering over the trophy icon to prove Ironman
-One screenshot showing your total land to prove you own all of Germany
Ew
Oh this should be easy
If it is fastest I can't imagine any special project is going to finish before someone has it done 😛
this is crazy bro
Can we do alt hist?
we need to do it before they try to anschluss us? or just annex them asap anyway possible
Some sweat is gonna do it in like may 1936 or something goofy like that
some sweat gonna do it Jan. 1936
before they try to anschluss you
so non-hist is not allowed?
thats kiiiiiinda the point, these 'difficult' challenges are for the sweats
if historical/non historical AI is not mentioned, then there is no restriction
Fairs
this is crazy stuff
where do we send the proof
we all demand danzig from poland but never demand konigsberg from germany
then how non-hist allowed if they won't anschluss you in some paths?
Unironically GDR makes the challenge easier
The German AI got massively nerfed in GDR
Bold of Chak to say we have to play Austria in the 1936 start date.
I was clearly going to plan to do it in the 1939 start date Kappa face
hm, that is right.... might need to make it historical in that case
Wait
No
Pla
too late
Pls
edited in
Unedit it
this is an idea (i wanna see the world in flames)
Because the AI doesn't know how to 4yp properly so will collapse about a year into the war
from my plays also it's very random when they do anschluss even on historical, it may very on a couple of months or even more
the challenge submissions tab directly above this one
Poland is easy to play tho
against germany?
Yes
also, if you create faction, germany bypasses anshluss
what to do in this situation?
Yes
oh nah
Just justify
i haven't touched poland since august
so we need to kill germany historical austria?
You can do a River defense and wait till germany attack soviet or you can defend border Rush East prussia but you have to worried about east
River defense betwen Kraków-Łódź-Warshaw
Hello, new to this challenges stuff, how does it work exactly?
Do the challenge
just hold the border it's easier
Is it multi-player?
Yeah but later you will have war with soviets
give up danzig 💀
kill soviets
then germans
We should have a multiplayer challenge
No
But we have to record our attempt?
Yeah but if you want play "histtorical" and dont give gdansk
Ohhh, last question, where to post the results?
then go mass mob and hold them two 
Yeah
@empty lintel if you invade poland evrybody will go to Forest and make resistance
#challenge-submissions
Poles Cannot be defeted so easy
Wdym
I have no idea what Anschluss means
Ohhhh...
essentially yus
I thought it was historical Germany
Hist AI*
But alt/hist player
yes, but the goal is to anschluss them before they do it to you, you can do it in other ways but I believe you wont have time to prepare properly by swapping ideologies
Imma use my superior knowledge of bugs to beat this before 1950
@solid gust Are we allowed to resubmit if we get a better time?
So we have to Anschluss Germany before the event pops up essentially?
before they declare on you yeah
Ahhh okay
can someone technically win twice (gonna sit this out nonetheless, sounds painfull)
Not twice in a row
Do we have to declare war first or just take all core states?
thought so
declare before the germans do
That's going to be a pain...
yeah im gonna sit this one out
someone already did it wtf
Yeahhhhh im not gonna even try to beat that
Are the prizes for top 3 the same?
@dull jacinth how did you manage to get 2.48m manpower?
gonna hope you win. You were faster than me when theres an discount on dino nuggets at the supermarket🙏
all must serve with annexing hungary and czechs first
and I didnt have that many divs
coring bohemia right?
yes
Give me 2 hours, and I'll have my boys home by Christmas
4 years later...
I wanted to get the yugos too but that would take too long
Let me cook
said Willhelm II
not twice in a row, but since you won last time... I can give you an alternate challenge if yo uwant
why not? Give it to me straight doc
"Weihnachten werdet ihr zuhause feiern!" Yup that did not go well
Wojtek European conquest
How did you manage to get 212 cp? Isn't 200 the limit?
2000 is
well technically they were home by christmas. Just 4 years later
oh god...
command power, not political power
wait let me hop on the game again to look
no time limit for yours, since cant win win, but I wanna see Wojtek somewhere, maybe witha special project or two 
ofc with the special projects
bro what are you talking about
you have 212 in the screenshot
because i started the autosave
should I show all the alerts
they aint so different
i just annexed germany and then went off
wojtek was the polish bear commander right?
yes yes
Okay... give me 5 hours...
and also If you reload the run the notifs are rearanged i think
alr if im done should i send you the screenshot or just post it here?
You cored Bohemia no?
yes
just post it in this tab and not the submissions one 🙂
Fastest time to core Bohemia(rush) is 630 days (if my calculations are correct). Your run is 569 days
We have to core all states and not just annex them?
alr i have the achievement so ive got him one time. 👍
if I cant make anything up to you just derrange my run idc
I dont need the music or armor pack anyway
no just annex them i think
I'm confused now...
Neither do I as I won the last challenge. Just pointing out some things in your run.
And how did bro get 60 divisions
Gove me 8 hours and I'll bring my men home back by Christmas 🥲
just read the requierments again and follow them
by spamming low eq divs and upgrading them
what achievements do you not have, maybe i make a challenge for you out of those so you at least get an achievement
Damn, I was just going to have 120 divisions with each having 1 batallion
I surrounded the germans in salzburg so I could march around them maybe that helps
My plan is similar but not quite
I'll just overwhelm them with divisions and spamming the attack thingy in the Corp commanders
👍
Boring...Jan Mayen Ice Bear World Conquest
one Empire, Woman in the high castle, Brentry, bad ending- the whole world is now Brazil. Pick my punishment
you are going to BRAZIL
🇧🇷 Is it possible to do the Achievment without TOA?
yes just that one
what is the brentry one again
As Chak casually gifts TOA using the company credit card
As belgium austria or some other country form the eu and have britain as faction member
what in da hell
no i dont
lmao
I already got all DLCs so can I just get a gift card?
yeah do brentry, as austria so it can coincide with the current one
Give it to someone else
with the added special projects to it
Make someone’s day
which sp would you prefer?
if you already own everything, you can grab the dlc for a friend or family
I'll give it to the person in last place 
absolute gigachad
that has happened before, its very kind to actually aha
it was one of the precursors to me alternating between more difficult and easier challenges
mmmm, at least flame tanks, maybe one of the larger ones. Landcruisers are iconic yeah but perhaps something else
Thermonuclear bombs on Paris
ok may the painfull Conquest begin😭
one last question alt or historical?
can be either, it'll be alt hist once you go down the path anyway
If someone beats me before December 1936 then I quit
oki dokie
I got an idea to win in Jan 36
100% allowed
Dw
annex_all
wait I need to be democratic to form the EU right?
You hold on I might beat this before october
No console
Give me 3 hours
What exactly is the plan?
...
I ain’t spilling
I shall smack you in ze face digitally
lol
ok i'm not trying this
Do we have to play historical Austria or can we go althistorical?
Nvm, I just saw it can be non too
Beating until Christmas might be impossible, but until May was a good attempt until they pushed me back
we must control all the land or do we have to get it after a peace deal
oh freak
Are there any saffeguards to prevent someone from just using the console?
Ironman
the european Path of austria is freaking awesome
This is so Cursed
Wild
hoz do we confirm that we won
The challenge was announced at midnight(my time) and I didn't sleep still trying to beat it before 1937 
I keep reaching Berlin in October 1936 but keep getting pushed back
I DONT KNOW
Flamethrower gives the most break
I normally dont use flamethrower tanks😭
So its technically the best thing to shove on support company tanks
i slapped it on my Medium tank Division as support
My favorite part of flame tanks is that Paradox still hasn't fixed the them
10 hours with no sleep...and over 30 tries...
I honestly am not sure if I can do this without Gotterdammerung.
I did it with only La Resistance and Arms Against Tyranny
If I can do it in a year and 3 months, you can do it too
I'd focus on hiring agents in the USSR and control trade so you can mass produce infa they weapons
Still wonder which path to go through. Probably communist for the manpower ability.
definately the communist path to get rid of the treaty sooner
Imma just post my method in my run submission, copy it or modify it, just don't beat my run.
this doesn't really do anything
im still very confused by your strat
and 23 divisions???
lol i can't even get a war goal on germany this early
@random grove How did you become fascist if you did the communist path?
I already stated, I didn't complete the focus to change the party, I only went down the communist path because it gives the focus to remove the treaty national spirit that limits military capabilities sooner
Austria starts as non aligned
Yeah
Imma screenshot and draw my plan
This was my strategy: I headed down the communist path because it would take 140 days to get rid of the treaty of germain unlike the other focuses which will take 300+. Yes the communist path will take time because you need 20% KPO party support, that' s why you save up political power for Franz the revolutionist
Though this strategy is impractical, I still went ahead with it because I thought it was the best course for my level of stupidity
but how u get the wg
I asked how did you become fascist
I didn't?
You have the fascist flag
You can send a picture of your politcal tab in game
No need to go in the game files
Clearly, my bad
Which bug would give you a wargoal on Germany?
‘ nocb, trust
Also the fastest way is fascist
I used my crappy laptop to spam stuff
i mean it looked like he flipped fascist somehow lol
I can retry the run in a different route if y'all want
Oh yeah understandable
No it's ok it makes sense now
I was sarcastic
You still didn't explain how did you increase wt
To get the wargoal
Its just you have to explain to Chak how you did the run
Also you are clearly fascist
he said he bugged it somehow
lol
Are you guys modders?
Because after a while you can use the game's code to your advantage
