challenge-questions

[solid gust]

Technically no, but I would like to see what everyone comes up with

[glacial stratus]

it will only cost you your time

[brittle dawn]

I see world conquest in coming from some sweaty player

[hearty walrus]

shouldve done this for italy /j

[glacial stratus]

nah Soviet Union is alright

[solid gust]

nope, I'm tryna go all over the map so this is a USSR one

[hearty walrus]

i know lol

its just italy has the fastest wargoals

[solid gust]

next one should be in South America though (spoiler for the future)

[hearty walrus]

and can world conquest before 38

[daring mountain]

i dont have the dlc💔

[solid gust]

The 'easy' challenges wont require specific dlc's, just means it might take you more time to do

that is usually what I try to do, to accommodate everyone

[neon cave]

how many time to submit challenge

[hushed stag]

Can i do the 1939 start?

[neon cave]

they said what only 1936 start allowed

[solid gust]

if you mean how long the challenge runs, its 2 weeks give or take a day

[cloud wharf]

fascism could work if u can rush down the civil war and endlessly 10 days justify

[neon cave]

thx

[cloud wharf]

but is that enuf time?

[neon cave]

i think communism is best for this challenge coz you dont need to spend time on civil war + there is some wargoals in communist path

[cloud wharf]

10 days justify

u can justofy on all the big nations

and than in dec 29 just cap uk😂

and u peace deall all of them

[hushed stag]

Ops

Thanks

[worldly surge]

does it have to be historical?

[hearty walrus]

path very long

army dies

[cloud wharf]

1w aa

but yea

taking that long to flip fascist prob negates any buff

u probably just justofy on fra

than uk

and than china so u can peacedeal china and uk together

[sweet bramble]

Can i use the 1939 scen?

[hearty walrus]

doing a run rn

very sloppy

[cloud wharf]

i avoid ger

ger has no land mass 😂

i go for fra for its navy

than uk

tbh

[cloud wharf]

also if u do ger

u should justify on fra after

[sweet bramble]

How do avoid ger

[hearty walrus]

its about states

germany has a lot of states

[cloud wharf]

since belgium guarantees fra so u can bypass

[cloud wharf]

naval invade

fra ai is very stupid

[hearty walrus]

im at war with both anyway

but yeah would be smart

tbh you could do all

[cloud wharf]

no its just to bypass maginot

[hearty walrus]

its just justification times

[cloud wharf]

really i thought its by how big u looked lol

[hearty walrus]

i read the challenge

i hate france :(

unlucky

they started reinforcing line and cant push easily

[hearty walrus]

how do you stop stolen fleets spawning in the black sea btw

[worldly surge]

[worldly surge]

chak

does it have to be historical

[hearty walrus]

no

never has to be

im pretty sure

[worldly surge]

ill reroll until i get lucky or smt

[solid gust]

Historical is only required when I mention it

[worldly surge]

alright

[solid gust]

This one does not require it to be on Hist

[tacit sapphire]

God I wonder how many people are going to do a cheeky naval invasion of the UK and France

Hmmmmm

[cloud wharf]

oh

sedge

[worldly surge]

what im trying to do

if i hop over to the dutch and then the french/brits

itll be great

[keen shell]

not impossible to win but you need a crazy naval invasion on uk at the start

[worldly surge]

Yeah

[unborn python]

[brittle dawn]

Damn this Trotsky run just raised the bar by a lot.

[daring mountain]

I did the faction thing 3 times

[glad vector]

Cw just to get speedy justifications. Still, conquering usa germany china by that time is extremely impressive

[deft merlin]

@daring mountain good run dude! Congrats!

[daring mountain]

[lethal prawn]

ya know i was gonna try this

but after looking at the trotsky pony run

no

im gonna wait two weeks

There's always 2nd and 3rd place, and of course glory for the red army!

That world domination run is diabolical

Bro still had time left💀

A hole ton of exploits

Ima give ts up and go play the new tfr update

[cloud wharf]

i thing we have a winner lol 😂

[valid zenith]

is that really possible

like to annex the whole word

in less than a year?

[valid zenith]

howd you do that?

[modern jackal]

its def possible with the right amount of cheese

after all sov is usually the go to nation for wc speedruns

[hearty walrus]

Did you use paratroopers cuz like that isnt allowed 👀

Tho its prob possible

[modern jackal]

but it would definitely be harder than before

since no more civil war cheese

using the lend lease strat and whatnot

along with order 66

[worthy vapor]

No

[modern jackal]

it would be interesting to know how you did it

obv after the event

since i understand you wouldnt wanna leak your strat

[hearty walrus]

Oh good :3 good job

[valid zenith]

what are paratroopers

what is that

[modern jackal]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paratrooper

[valid zenith]

oh i see

they too op in hoi4 or wht

?

[modern jackal]

not really

but they are used in quite a few cheese strats

[valid zenith]

i see

nah im too bad at this game to do that

if much i would get iran

and poland

in two year

i never advance

i suck bro

[modern jackal]

we all start somewhere

[cloud wharf]

Yes theoretically

[high pecan]

anyone know a good guide for the Austria hungary achievement

[lunar saffron]

Nahh no way

The other guy did full world conquest

[glad vector]

Rushing the world as soviets can be fun though. Red Wave of mass assault troops. I just take way longer than two years to do it 😆

[glad vector]

There's a lot of AH achievements, which one? Though I know of few people who made an actual guide for austria since the dlc

[lethal prawn]

my plan was to deny turkish straights and take out romania and turkey, then go for poland, iran, afghanistan, and finland

[astral totem]

some challenge for me

[lean lake]

mee to

[spiral berry]

What is it called when u use 2 types of tanks in ur template, one is for armor and the other for soft attack.

I believe its something with tank destroyers

[cloud wharf]

armor meme

its an mp thing

and its usaually the reverse

since in vanilla mp all tanks are tds

[worthy vapor]

Yeah u just make a heavy td full armor

Its kinda shit though at least in full meta rounds since u only do heavy tds there and they already have infinite pearcing

In single player just do a medium anti air for armor meme

[rocky stratus]

For a moment I thought someone had equaled Cyberse

[high pecan]

best way to do the cut the strings achievement??

[limpid gorge]

Any yt guides for austria hungary?

[modern jackal]

just play the game man

[finite dune]

As I can remember B1ttersteel has revived the empire, so watch his video!

[charred timber]

hey kids

[limpid gorge]

Bittersteel my beloved

[grizzled kestrel]

is dominion of north america available as monarchist UK? currently as great britain have canada as a puppet and own USA, but i only get the option to declare american monarchy

[hearty walrus]

Canada needs to own the USA

[solid gust]

Alright @worthy vapor I need you to give me a run down of how you accomplished this challenge, you will have until 11am EST (just over 2 hours from when this message is sent) to do so or I will have to go with the runner up.

I will accept it, however I would still like to know how you accomplished it and what strats were used.

[worthy vapor]

Ofc sry could nt see it

Its actually pretty simple

U rush trotsky as fast as possible (by letting Paranoia Hit 90 or higher ) then with trotskz u hire the advisors that lower justify war goal time +the nkvd focus.

That will allow u to get everz single justification to 10 days and 2 pp

[signal frost]

Holy smokes

[worthy vapor]

Justify on all non alligned and democracies to get them into the allies

[solid gust]

(keep going, but I have to post the new challenge rules etc before my shift is over)

[worthy vapor]

Get militarz acces to uk fra usa by hiring the advisor that gives u acceptance of democracies from the collabarate with the capitalist branch.

[solid gust]

Outlining the country Challenge Rules

Outlining the Country: As Chile or Argentina, own all states in South America that border an Ocean, while not own those that don't.

(Starting provinces/tiles are exempted from that requirement)

-Start as Either Chile or Argentina in the 1936 Scenario with Ironman enabled
-Cannot use mods that alter gameplay, only graphical mods are allowed (This includes portrait mods, map mods, fps mods etc so long as they do not alter gameplay)
-Must be achievement compatible, and submission should show that
-No Ideology or unit restrictions are in this challenge, just achieve it to be entered
-This challenge is NOT timed, but rather RNG
-You are NOT allowed a puppet to bypass the tile restrictions
-You must be at peace at the time of submission

No Unit restrictions

Screenshot requirements
-Must show a screenshot of the entirety of South America as a continent, outside of starting states you are not allowed to own states that do not border an Ocean.
-Must hover over the Trophy icon in your submission (It can be the same screenshot as the previous requirement) to show the dropdown menu

As with all challenges, I reserve the right to add or modify the rules at any time.

[signal frost]

Doesn't Argentina have some inland states though

[glacial stratus]

while not owning states that don't.

that part confused me tbh

[worthy vapor]

With all of these military access u can fake naval invade all of the allies with cav by moving them to their coast and telling them to land. Then declare war on the allies and all your cav will auto attack the countries

[glacial stratus]

I assume only own states that have access to ocean?

[signal frost]

That's what I understand, but doesn't Argentina have some landlocked states

[worthy vapor]

Then after u have killed the allies u do the same with japan and kill the axis

[signal frost]

Thereby making the challenge impossible for Argentina

[solid gust]

There is the exemption for starting states

I just wanted to give 2 options for the challenge since some people do not like the Chile tree, and some people dont like argentina

more options is always nicer

[signal frost]

Neat

[solid gust]

correct, except for starting states, I allow for those to be exempt

[worthy vapor]

Could have done it faster (my micro was sloppy) but setting up all of the cav is annoying af

And i mean" my " tactic is rlly just stolen fron m3an who did a vid on soviet world conquest

[solid gust]

Also to answer the question today as I have to run to my other job:

Everyone claiming their prizes for the last challenge will receive them on Monday! I am not forgetting you

[hot badger]

Quick question: Any restrictions on owning states/puppets NOT in South America?

[solid gust]

Not on owning states outside of South America but no puppets regardless

[hot badger]

[rocky stratus]

Only continental territory?

Or should I include the Galapagos, Easter Island and the Malvinas?

[inland tapir]

For outlining, are we allowed to puppet the inner states

(Sorry if this has been answered)

[inland tapir]

Whoops, didn't see this. My bad

[glad vector]

impossible, Chile tree is perfection (except for the missing research slot for mapuche) 😆

I've played a lot of Chile games lately, I might go with Peron or Edelman as Argentina

[rocky stratus]

Are there any restrictions for territories outside of South America? Can I take it?

[modern jackal]

Probably yes

It only applies to SA

[hearty walrus]

I wanna do a run of this as chile but also chile is like 'oh you want fun path? No more good generals or military advisors'

Bad nation smh

Pls fix

[brisk cipher]

It's not that important tbh

You have unlimited resources

[rocky stratus]

So, can I or can't I take territories outside of South America?

That due to fate I am facing a war against Japan.

[glad vector]

it's a start...

[rocky stratus]

Ideas for dealing with the powers in the Guyanas?

I only need two states

XD

[glad vector]

nope

need to be at peace - allies need to be beaten 😦

[rocky stratus]

I'll try entrench the entire coast and prepare a fleet to resist invasions
I estimate that by 1990 I will be ready

[glad vector]

and if any of those fascist nations (peru, venezuela) join the axis, they need to be beaten too

[rocky stratus]

They don't usually join unless it's midgame or lategame.

[worthy vapor]

Brazil can demand them

[rocky stratus]

In what path?

[worthy vapor]

Fascist i think

[glad vector]

trying a non historical game now - what a circus

[glad vector]

oh lol, usa just joined the UK - both democratic- France and China joined the allies too. This is even harder than historical

[gritty wing]

do the islands count as part of south america

like this and the falklands

[rocky stratus]

@gritty wing

That islands are Caribean

[gritty wing]

does it matter if i have non south american territory

cause i took those islands

[rocky stratus]

I would also like to know that, but I suppose that as long as you can free it there is no problem.

[gritty wing]

i will just release it later

[glad vector]

@hot badger excellent submission. I gave it a few goes as Chile but gave up. Might try Argentina

[rare arch]

Playing Mexico non history, is it possible to complete the achievement "The New Home of the Revolution"?

[hot badger]

When I first saw the rules my first thought was: “Hilter’s PP buff will let me core all the stuff I need super fast, right?” The luckiest thing that happened during the run was Germany just deciding to not chose either the Kaiser nor Democracy.

von Mackensen shall live for all time!

[lunar saffron]

So time doesnt matter in this challenge???

[gritty wing]

how are winners decided here

like if you do it faster than another person

do you get 1st place

[errant igloo]

is it even possible to do chile or argentina with generic focus tree?

i think i have to declare on peru first and then declare on brazil to avoid the ire of the allied forces

[solid gust]

To answer the previous questions:

• there is no restrictions on territory outside of South America, only no puppets.
• This challenge is not timed and is decided by RNG, so just achieve the challenge requirements
• Islands are not needed, only the Continent matters in terms of submissions

[solid gust]

it is possible, for some people it would actually be easier, but of course there are different strategies for different use cases of focus tree vs generic tree

[errant igloo]

then i would retry chile but i have to achieve air superiority over peru to proceed, or to prevent brazil from joining the allied forces

[gritty wing]

at war with the entire world

never play non historical

[hot badger]

Jokes on you: Non-Historical is how I pulled my nightmare off.
:SkeletorLaugh: :SkeletorLaugh: :SkeletorLaugh:

Can’t use external emoji.

Literally 1984.

[gritty wing]

completely gave up on the challenge

just doing random achivements atp

[hot badger]

The reason my game ran until 1950 was because I sat back and waited for the Allies to detonate post Treaty of Brussels. Also got lucky with a Fascist Mexico going in on the USA in 1940 and the US joining the Czech Entente.

[gritty wing]

would have finished my run in 1941 if the axis werent at war with me

[hot badger]

https://tenor.com/view/disintegrate-gif-22469816

Happens to the best of us, man.

[gritty wing]

i aint doing ts for an armor pack

5 euro axis tank models

[hot badger]

Completely understandable.

Though, before I forget…

[hot badger]

Was my submission valid or do I need to go back and try again?

[solid gust]

Looking at it, you need to release some states or give them away, as you have interior states in SA

[hot badger]

Which ones?

I started as Argentina, so I can’t do anything about those.

[hot badger]

Every state I control, that isn't one of Argentina's starting cores, can have a Dockyard built in it. That was the metric I used to gauge whether a state bordered an ocean.

(Didn't show Chile in the screenshots since all of their cores border the Pacific by default)

[hot badger]

Used the debug trick to remove ironman mode and used the state transfer tool mod to confirm that I do not control any land-locked area aside from Argentina's starting cores.

[bright dune]

🤣 lol these ideas are really good

people are incredible very impressive

[hearty walrus]

Might as well get the world coastline since argentina is OP

[hot badger]

What I did was set the world to ahistorical, while making sure all of South America stayed historical in the country settings, then played normally. The only way this works is if both the UK and Germany don't go Democratic. Or, as was in my case, the UK goes interventionist Democratic. Makes all the other Democracies, like the US, dislike them. The only real bit of luck I had, which I don't think would be necessary, but definitely made the game shorter, was Mexico going fascist and hoovering up Venezuela into their faction.

That was my strategy for conquest. My strategy for the challenge was rooted in Argentina's Senor Hilter path. Flipping to Fascist early + 25% PP = Earlier coring opportunities in South America. Also; I went ahead and annexed everything knowing I could core only the coastal states, then release the South American nations without the stuff I cored.

I also waited to fight the Allies, which in my game became a super faction of Interventionist UK, Non-Aligned Germany, Communist Super-State India, and Ate-All-The-Balkans Yugoslavia, until after all major wars were over. I did this banking on the idea that, since the UK was still Democratic, the Treaty of Brussels might still fire. It did. The Allies Faction completely detonated after the war with everyone leaving except Britain's puppets. The ones that stayed loyal, anyway. India formed it's own faction and Australia went to go fight emus or something.

That left British Guyana and Suriname with only one Major to defend them.

And, like, all ToA nations get bonkers Special Forces, so my marines easily wiped out the British.

That was my strategy.

TLDR: Go ahistorical~ish, Get Hilter, do standard South America stuff, early~ish war the US and steal fleet, wait for Allies to blow up, clean up the rest of the mess.

Senor Hilter also gives you the opportunity to get Nukes way earlier than any South American nation ought to have.

Who needs Strat Bombing when you can just make airports ✨ Disappear ✨ ?

[signal frost]

When do you get the focus for nukes again?

Because USA can rush nukes easily with their focus

I just realized I'm in challenge questions

[hot badger]

Technically you can get both rockets and Atomic Research in 140 days after installing Senor Hilter into power.

Two 70 Day Focuses.

[signal frost]

Dang

4th Reich too op

Hitler should have just gone to Argentina to win lol

[hot badger]

That's something else that was funny to me: I wasn't the "Fourth Reich" for most of the game.

First 3 years max.

Like I said: I enjoyed this challenge. Also gave me an excuse to go do a bunch of Argentine Achievments.

[signal frost]

I tried doing this challenge as Chile and then lost hope as I realized I was going to have to solo the Allies with the path I took

[signal frost]

Epic

I usually don't have the willpower to do some achievements, but these challenges make me attempt some. Then I lose willpower again

[hot badger]

Not looking forward to Macau My Day. I'll have to tackle it eventually.

For now, though, I sleep. Goodnight y'all.

[signal frost]

I was honestly thinking of going the achievement with Portugal's historical path

Good night

[errant igloo]

chile has low core pop but rich resources, argentina has high core pop but low resources. chile and argentina is similar in terms of advisors

[errant igloo]

i am playing non historical, i could have invited stalin to my faction, but instead i have mongolia

you showed the best work, it's beautiful, I liked it, it was incredible💌

[hollow mantle]

The good news..i own all coastal nations of South America...bad news...now gotta kill the world to be at peace 😢

[errant igloo]

i hate usa, but i can only blame myself for invadinh central america instead of continuing towards brazil. i was so close

[hollow mantle]

oh should i annex my USA and resubmit? was just collab government from the war

Safethensorry lol fun challenge.

[signal frost]

I would say annex just in case

[errant igloo]

i resign, every time USA intervened and ruins every thing

even though i have 3 atomic bombs, i just couldnt see continuing the war, the germans spaniards and soviets have surrendered and japan could be next

they are keeping on reinforcing against my brazilian coastlines, i was about to conquer colombia when they got up again

[errant igloo]

is the next challenge on july 11?

[hollow mantle]

Above advice of custom rules for ensuring certain people stay historic on non historical is pretty helpful.

Getting Germany/italy/Japan to do their normal thing, cracks down alot on worst case rng

You gotta kill u.s uk and France regardless.

U.s falls apart if its fighting in 3 continents let alone 4 or 5 lol

[glad vector]

despite seeing that one chile submission, I've given up on trying this as Chile. Switching to Argentina

[daring mountain]

I did that for fun
im not allowed to claim prizes twice in a row

[errant igloo]

dont do chile, low core pop

compared to argentina

more men to spare for garrisons

[glad vector]

argentina can core state by state, chile needs to control all of south america for their coring decisions

argentina seems made for this challenge - at least the easier way

[signal frost]

The idea sounds perfect for Chile

The execution is best done by Argentina

[glad vector]

Conquering south america as chile isnt that hard - except the guyana's, and being at peace after

[hollow mantle]

Everything is easy except when its hard

[glad vector]

I didn't do the coastline thing, so its invalid for the challenge, but I did make a video for this campaign 🙂

[errant igloo]

i have now progressed as fascist argentina

germany has invaded ireland, pushed UK out of italy and defeated USSR

mexico became my meat shield

i will conquer guyanas and brazil next and then inch my way towards USA

also iran conquered india

but USA is liberating the philippines

[errant igloo]

OKAY now i occupy all of South America

except the landlocked nations

...

do i have to end ww2?

[errant igloo]

HOT DIGGITY DOG, GERMANY IS IN CANADA

...

before UK

[errant igloo]

HOT DIGGITY DOG, I AM MARCHING TOWARDS MEXICO CITY

[errant igloo]

japan is the new italy in my play

[errant igloo]

all of my mountaineers died in the uk-us counterattack

MF I HAVE ANOTHER NAVAL.INVASION

[errant igloo]

maybe i will try again to push, this is my best attempt so far

[hollow mantle]

Remember, aim for encirckements to push your lines, do not battle plan go the whole front

The u.s Frontline is huge, a few big encirclements in California/ Texas/ Florida, and they won't be able to inflict much damage on you

Takes a bit of time to kill off 100-200 divisions but once you do, you can just take a few states at a time with ease

[hollow mantle]

This is good news, just have a mobile squad that can surround n delete.

If ai wants to suicide its equipment , whos to say no ?

I swear u.s lost more naval invading Venezuela 20 times than it did in America lol

Also if struggling to push, focus on helping your allies win wars through building railways and supply hubs n air fields

You can end the game without your troops just by getting the ai to have supply n use its planes lol

[errant igloo]

the problem is that, in my attempt to encircle troops, they encircled my mountaineers instead in western mexico and they died. but fortunately i have 9 mountaineers again

and i have 6 medium tanks

is modern tank good? or should i have heavy tanks instead? just producing 1 division of them

[errant igloo]

for minor countries with generic focus tree and low manpower, fascist route has the most power because of the tons of recruitable population it brings

karl marx wouldnt be able to make it up with 400 manpower per week

[errant igloo]

i had killed 3 million americans with their invasions

[errant igloo]

i no longer enjoy this challenge, to hell with this challengw

i cannot keep up with 4 naval invasions

germany is doing nothing to capitulate UK

[glad vector]

You fought with honor

Its a challenging challenge indeed

[glad vector]

I gave chile six tries and gave up

Not replaying my argentina run

[solid gust]

The point of the challenges is to have fun and/or have a goal to do, you had a good try and you've determined you're done with it, you did a good job dude

if you're done, ain't nothing wrong with that 🙂

[errant igloo]

chile has low core pop

at least i made the third strongest faction in my run

thats just from watching how bitt3rsteel play

[hollow mantle]

Correct , its all about getting your ai friends to do something lol

Personally I spammed torpedo destroyers with battery 1 and max engine, got some Torpedo heavy fighters ( light machine gun 2 w/ 2x Torpedo) on medium frame and just blasted hell out of British channel with max level airfield all over coast so axis AI would do contribute planes to the cause

Few marines into British coast line and the Germans will start making their way over. Low manpower cost to do but lots if production time. Had around 100 destroyers and 500 heavy fighter naval bombers with 500 real heavy fighters to break the channel

[hollow mantle]

Yeah its definitely a learning process to encircle properly. Gotta make sure you got the supply and troops to hold every tile as you go. ( usually supply being command power supply ability, or doing encirclement based on railway/supply hubs cut offs)

Beating usa late game takes a ton of practice and template knowledge. They got infinite production and manpower lol all you can do is grind it out and push hard once they are stuck with a weak line training new divisions

Should be proud of yourself for stalemating the allies as a late game minor. Thats a good accomplishment onto game mastery.

It's a huge step to beating the late game allies is to survive the allies massive pushes n invasions !

[lean elk]

just release as independent

and kill them again

[solid gust]

Just going to mention that the challenge will end tomorrow, and after that there will be a tiny break so that I can come up with new ones (and not just copy paste similar ones over and over)

[signal frost]

I got epic challenge idea that you can borrow that can build hype for the upcoming Asia DLC.

As China, cap Japan and annex the warlords as fast as possible. (Please allow paratroopers)

[errant igloo]

asia dlc?

[signal frost]

It's coming soon

[errant igloo]

i hope southeast asian nations are involved

especially the MaPhilIndo nations

i want to form the Pan-Malayan Federation

[vestal rapids]

whys this challenge so terrible

[hollow mantle]

Definitely requires a chill personality to handle such an argent challenge

But mostly coz america exists and its hard to keep them out of war unless you pull some crazy early sea lion off

[vestal rapids]

its just annoying to do

[solid gust]

different people find different things fun

[signal frost]

Bro came in at the last second and won through the power of RNG

as ussr, turn ALL of europe communist (works by either annexing all of it (as long as you are communist), puppeting everyone (again as long as you're communist), or changing governments in everyone. but obviously the first two would be a lot more convenient.)

idk just an idea

[solid gust]

we've done a few of those but I dont think as the USSR as of late, I'll keep it in mind

[ember tangle]

wdym by doing all of those?

as in turning all of europe in a certain ideology?

[solid gust]

I try to get at least a few challenges from every part of the world outside of europe/asia so that every aprt of the world sees some gameplay

[solid gust]

yeah, we've done it with the US, some from countries in europe and more

If you see spelling mistakes... no you didn't, typing on my phone is hell sometimes

[ember tangle]

ah i see

[ember tangle]

oh you want other continents too?

very well, i have a challenge >:)

a real pain in the ass of a challenge

[solid gust]

I try to choose a different continent every challenge or every other challenge

[ember tangle]

as either liberia or ethiopia, conquer all of africa

[solid gust]

that way each kind of DLC or minor/major country gets playtime

[ember tangle]

sultanate of aussa works too

[solid gust]

did one of those with South Africa/Congo iirc, they were not fan favourites aha

[ember tangle]

bruh

as brazil, invade germany before 1940

as revenge for 7:1

[solid gust]

some people dont like having to adjust to the modifiers in africa, its normal because they really like their tanks

[ember tangle]

(even tho it'd be another 74 years before that happens)

[ember tangle]

i see

[tacit sapphire]

That’s just my prewar build lol

[agile echo]

Maybe upgrade this to "Revenge for 7:1, as Brazil, drop 7 nukes (at once) on Germany" or something?

[broken raven]

Pretty good odds with how few people ended up completing. I think I was only fifth submission?

[blazing jackal]

Who's the big guy now?

As a puppet of a nation, have a bigger army than your overlord (Based on deployed soldiers maybe?)

As an idea

But you have to start (and stay) as a puppet

Like manchuria obedience path

Or like Canada

[hot badger]

How, uh, do I use the bot to claim my reward? I just want to make sure I’m doing it right.

[solid gust]

You just dm the bot, and there'll be a few menus that show up in the process to confirm you wanna contact the moderation team for this server (if you are in more than one pdx server, there will be more options)

[hot badger]

Thank you. Just wanted to be sure before I poked the wrong team or something. 🙏

[elder junco]

As Quebec, control all of metropolitan france

[silk berry]

Play as Communist China and conscript everyone. Then, conquer the whole world with those units. Then, once you've done the WC, liberate all the provinces in the game. If you look at it this way, it's a P2W challenge to see who has the best PC.

[vagrant dagger]

luxembourg world conquest starting in 1939

[silk berry]

That's basically a normal Chinesse gameplay but speedran. You're just giving speedruners free packs with this challenge

[blissful kindle]

A2Z: As Afghanistan release yourself as Zimbabwe in 83 months

(6.9 years )

[hollow mantle]

East meets west, as Japan take over na sa and have it be in eastern prosperity sphere lol

New Z vs Old Z , as New Zealand , conquer Zimbabwe. Maybe to easy lol

A2Z , having 26 puppets that names start a to z be funny but not sure how plausible

Off the summet, as Nepal? Tibet? Own the Himalayas

MINE ITS ALL MINE as America own every oil province

Just blow it all up
As anarchists Spain, blow up suez and panama

Who needs dlc? As Saudi Arabia take over middle east

[solemn burrow]

As Tunisia or Morocco reunite Arabia with all releasable released. On historical 💀

[tacit sapphire]

That sounds really easy

Honest

[solemn burrow]

I’ve tried it

The garrison manpower gets to you

And then Britain gets to you

[tacit sapphire]

That’s why I just lock in

[solemn burrow]

Respect the grind

[modern jackal]

how about a "form al andalus as quickly as possible" challenge

[grave heart]

It has my name on it! Right?
As any Baltic county conquer all of the Balkans

Maybe a bit easy with the commonwealth

But you have to fight the axis and allies

[vital epoch]

How long is left

@solid gust how long is left

[cloud wharf]

the challenege is over

[vital epoch]

Thanks

[glad vector]

Would anyone happen to know where Iraq (non aligned) gets its third spy?

[signal frost]

Wouldn't it have to be the intel advisor guy?

[glad vector]

I don't seem to have him available

[signal frost]

2 from upgrades, 1 from the guy

Interesting

[glad vector]

apparently, I unlock him with the Golden Square path, but I did unaligned

fighting soviets with only two spies is beyond painful

[signal frost]

Ive only played Iraq once

And it was an abysmal failure

As I couldn't carry the Axis

[glad vector]

I've played Iraq a few times now, one time great success

[brag]:

[/brag]

[signal frost]

Nice, Italy died and I was focused on the defensive in Africa

I got the UAR

But I couldn't go to Europe without dying myself

So Axis died to D-Days and a combined Soviet push

[glad vector]

I went for Spain first with the al andalus focus

after that I took out the Axis and got some nice puppets

[dreamy snow]

As albania, take over italy and make the borders of the roman empire

[barren delta]

Bro its imposible or nearly imposible

[blazing jackal]

Somebody did it on elite a while back

[dreamy snow]

hey thats the point of a challenge

[barren delta]

Yeah its possible but you have to be really tryhard

[barren delta]

Maybey it is but albania doesnt have even focus tree

[blazing jackal]

Eh, it should still be something most players can achieve if they really want to

[dreamy snow]

it is still possible

[blazing jackal]

Yeah, but not near impossible

[dreamy snow]

ima try it

[dreamy snow]

well i cant do it

[blazing jackal]

Why?

[dreamy snow]

i got to 1942 and then germany won and killed me with italy while i didnt expand anywhere

[blazing jackal]

Like I said, someone did it and made a video out of it

[dreamy snow]

oh wait what

when

[blazing jackal]

Maybe that could help?

[dreamy snow]

can you send me a link?

[blazing jackal]

I think it was published a few years ago

[dreamy snow]

okay

[blazing jackal]

Idk if I'm allowed to post links here

[dreamy snow]

found it

[barren delta]

well then im really bad

[blazing jackal]

Nah, I probably couldn't do that either

It would take a lot of time and patience

[barren delta]

fr

[barren delta]

i cant even do good naval invasion to germany as UK when i want to france fall

[blazing jackal]

I can give you some tipps, but for that we should move to #ask-for-help-here

[barren delta]

nah when i land and take paris its easy then

[blazing jackal]

Alright

[blazing jackal]
