Yea
i also think the ideal number of playerrs is either 1 per nation or 1 per nation plus a co-op for each faction leader
having multiple co-ops on the same team makes it very hard for the team to coordinate
True
becasue you've got 2 german players trying to work together in the same voice channel as 2 italian players
so they go to separate channels
but then they can't work together as nations
but having 2 german players, 1 italian, 1 japan, that works fine
so i want to re-write the team rules to try to accomedate multiple groupings of players
I.E. if you have only 4 players you play these 4 nations
if you have 6 players you play these4 and add 2 co-op, if you have 8, play these 6, etc.
to try to make the rulset work for a larger scope of players
Means less minors too
yeah, i am planning to write a different ruleset for large groups with lots of minors
a draft system
but that is only in the planning statges atm
My favorite house rule is max two majors per faction. Of which China is included as a major
Yeah...
Germany never destroys Denmark and Norway.
Spain becomes part of the Axis.
Russia is declared on by 1939 or 40 instead of 1941.
OR!
Russia declares on Germany instead.
Still...
Oh!
I just had a "historical game".
War started in 1938.
The Soviet Union declared on Poland.
Followed by Germany.
And since Poland was accepted into the Allies.
I was against both The Comintern and Axis.

Well, Historic AI means that the AI Nations will take their national focuses in a historical manner.

FYI @outer mulch I dont think you can do this in discord but in stuff like teamspeak/mumble ect you can set up communications between other channels
So to make things simple lets say the two germans talk to each other and discuss things and one of them can speak to the italian team "leader"
What is everyones favorite mod?
I'm still waiting on Kaiserreich for HoI4
For DH, it's first place, behind the Grand Campaign mod
Thats not hoi4 right
kek
the generic Slav fascist leader in the mod I'm using right now is the black and white version of the official portrait of the current Russian Minister of Defence
LOL
@ruby crest I have a question
how do I get an AND condition between two factors, one of which has OR in it?
http://pastebin.com/V3uYrKM2 - say that's our initial condition as is
and I need it to work for countries that are ENG, RAJ, CAN, AST, NZL, SAF, but only when ENG is at war with GER
@obtuse condor
and = {
or = { stuff you already have
}
and = {
england is at war with germany
}
}
This is inside the not loop
You need to and the or and and
I know inside stellaris not work like nors. Even though they have nors.
@obtuse condor
@ruby crest I need to do what now?
YOu are missing AND between the OR and the AND.
@ruby crest how is it supposed to look then?
I swear to God, this is way easier in SQF for ArmA
technically you don't need AND for that
can anybody help my to learn to do a mod for hoi 4
I want to see a mod about the race in hoi4
this page has been missing from the modding wiki for far too long:
added it just now
@outer mulch and it's already gone
Indeed.
yeah ๐ฆ
they said it's already covered by the others, but I don't think that's true
@outer mulch
http://www.hoi4wiki.com/Conditions
in my experience the other wiki pages are not as complete
i will try to find the ones that are missing and plug them in when i come across them
Triggers is covered under conditions
that flag please http://img.pr0gramm.com/2016/10/03/b5da663994c35c4f.jpg
what the fuck is that flag
The National Socialist Movement (NSM) is an American neo-Nazi, white supremacist, homophobic, and antisemitic political party based in Detroit, Michigan.
and like all degenerates, they hail from Detroit
I thought Nazis had good flags.
That's ugly shit.
Its not a good flag?
Ugly as shit.
Its not a flattering angle
I saw the picture of it flat.
AHAHAHA
LOOK AT THAT FUCKER
It's still terrible
The worst part of this nazi organization is that they dont have the one upside most nazis do
dank aesthetic
they have obese guys in t-shirts amd jeans holding their assugly flag
0/10
lol American neo nazis
so cringe
Real nazis are best nazis.
They had damn good style in regards to military uniforms.
And 0 practicality.
They can't even pull off the brownshirt look.
after you have seen the bad flag, is it really a surprise natsoc never caught on in the usa
needs to be darker blue but I like this flag http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/490147161365929854/AD94FD60CE16A25FB3B51CFA63CF2B440EC60BAD/
@obtuse condor correct me if I'm wrong, but the biggest stormfag movement just used the US flag
shrug
lol china blocking people with any turkey relation from entering
and if it is just a stamp in the passport
damn this isnt offtopic
@obtuse condor Go to the right of the message there is a gear with a delete option
Is there any working cold war mod? both cold front and Iron Curtain are not even near finished
@cunning crypt is the ww1 one out yet
there are two major ww1 ones
the war to end all wars is pretty good, but still quite unfinished
@zak#0299 you know the historically plausable country name mod?
No
@ruby crest right, basically it was a simple mod that changed nation names to their either official or plausable names
so France would be the French Republic
and things like that
however, the guy who made it hasn't updated it in months, so it's missing countries like Vietnam and Israel
I'd appreciate suggestions
You cannot really go wrong with slapping peoples republic on the end
@ruby crest for Communists, yeah
I'm more stumped with unaligned and fascist names
laos could be named kingdom of laos
all the french indochina I think was kindgomes
Probably for unalighned
Well...
Unaligned is a very vague position.
Since for places like Yugoslavia, they were monarchies.
While Greece, apparently, is lead by a normal man.
So, it's very vague.
It could be argued that, depending on the nation, it could still be a democratic government.
However, their attitude to foreign policy is a little different to a democracy, which prefers neutrality.
Amusingly...
To provide some examples.
A non-aligned Italy is The Kingdom of Italy.
United Kingdom is Great Britain.
German Reich becomes Germany and has the Weimar republic flag.
I am aware that that is definitely the case, I'm just reporting what is presented in HOI4.
Which, we both know...
Has neglected historical accuracy a bit.
throughout the second world war, that was its title, and the head of state was Victor Emmanuel III
well, in that regard, HoI is semi historical
as far as Italy is concerned
Victor is a national spirit for Italians
no shit
What I'm trying to say is that each country that's under a non-aligned government...
Has varying ideologies.
The UK is centrism.
Poland is an Oligarchy.
And Yugoslavia is a Monarchy.
At least, according to what we're given.
unaligned in HoI 4 is anything that isn't the extreme
Pretty much.
Its either having the kingdom of laos be democratic or unalighne
unaligned, I guess
could call both the democratic and unaligned versions the Kingdom of Laos
I'd go with unaligned too.
And just have the head of state be someone different.
Democratic is the prime minister/president.
I don't change heads of states
Well, most HoS's are just decoration.
Unless you're German.
25% political power.
Anywho!
Heinrich, sir!
How are you?
hey
and it's done
Steam Workshop: Hearts of Iron IV. Check the original mod by Ceeker. This mod simply changes nation names to their official variants or historically plausable titles. For example, France becomes the French Republic and so on. Currently
Most 3d model mods seem to change the soldier camo/skin. You guys know of any that might add new tank skins or stuff like that?
grand 3d model project thingy has the best stuff
Is it on steam workshop?
Well...
The new developer diary is deeply concerning.
So concerning that I'm actually quite angry.
Apparently, the ability for an individual to have a battleplan command that adds the ability for mechanised formations to perform proper blitzkriegs...
Is going to be a feature you pay for.
I'm not a proponent of DLC or content packs.
Because such a thing is truly low by trying to squeeze blood from a stone.
Or should I say money from the public's wallets?
The only time I agree with bringing out a content pack is if it's an expansion.
Which adds massive amounts of new content.
After all, I remember The Sims 1-Where ever it is now having expansion packs.
And they added tonnes of new stuff.
Same with games like WoW (dry heave).
They added new content in abundance.
Instead, companies are selling crumbs for the price of a four course meal with oral afterwards.
Its pretty common for them to sell game changing features for a price
I just want to know how it'll work for multiplayer. Hopefully like EU4 where only host need the expansion. Right?
Every game they released recently stellaris, EU4, and CK2 only requires the host
Awesome
That sounds like real scummy stuff.
We don't know what else is coming, so let's wait about raising forks and stuff
Let's not.
Let's be frank and state that as we continue to fork out for crumbs...
The companies, Paradox included, are going to offer fewer for the same price.
If people are going to pay money.
They should be treated like royalty.
And not the Yugoslavian kind.
Johan's been called Jewhan for years for a good reason, lads
Its not like you really need this new plan. The game is still very complete and enjoyable without any DLC. Putting over a hundered hours into a 30-40$ game means I got my value worth. I don't expect aditional content for free I know what I am buying and any other content is bonus.
100 hours of enjoyment from me
China and PRC don't have focus trees, but fucking Poland does
same goes for Finland
the list can go on and on
also, the only enjoyment I got out of it was MP based
if it were SP only, then I'd refund it in a heartbeat
there is fuck all to do in SP
That is your opinion. In my opinion its complete enough to justify a 40$ price
you know what they say about opinions
if you're willing throw that money away, fine by me
I'm glad I got it for free
and the person who paid for it only had to fork out enough for the Russian price
PDX have grown fucking complacent and need some competition
desperately
I got more enjoyment from hoi4 then civ5. and I spend much less on hoi4. Its a complete game. Its not the pinicle of what it could be but it is finished.
so broken AI is finished in your opinion?
or the phantom factory bullshit?
or the missing features on launch?
or 101 exploits in MP?
AI is not that bad only if you know how to abuse it.
mate, I fucking fell asleep once and still won the war
and all I had was a front line drawn up
against Germans
as the UK
I got 100 hours of enjoyment from it and I did not ever feel like it was a rip off.
with no offensive arrows
and they still lost
well, I'm very glad for you
The AI is awful
Nuff said
Maybe its just the trend of the entire industry but if I was to look through the stream store on games I have bought I would call hoi4 one of the more finished ones.
MP is the most fun I've ever had though
@ruby crest so we should low the bar because others do it?
great fucking motivation right there
I am not lowering it its not hig hto beggine with. It has been that way for a long time now
the phantom factory shit has been reported since June
and they've done nothing to fix it
nada
there is exactly one thing that I for one am thankful for
Hotjoin?
the fact that they stopped that shit with "every new DLC changes the checksum"
no
they basically stopped DLCs from changing checksums
back with CK2, I believe
That's interesting
before that, any new piece of DLC would do that
Hoi4 is my first real Paradox game
meaning that if you wanted to play MP with someone, you HAD to have the exact same DLCs on
or bought
otherwise you'd be shit outta luck
Since ck2 if the host had the DLC everyone could use it in MP
then someone must've stumbled across Jewhan's puke-covered body in the company bathroom, woke him up and told him that that shit ain't gonna fly for long
@ruby crest no shit
so yeah, that's one major achievement on PDX's side
lmfao
You really hate the guy huh
I think paradox's new model is much more consumer frendly then there previous. Lower prices, free content, and you may disagree more complete games on launch
@obtuse condor it's mostly /gsg/ memeing around
Johan is the focal point of it
I mean, how can you not, with photos of him like this floating around
I remember playing victoria 2. 1 million people (in a single province) living in the middle of the fucking desert, and all soldiers.
I'm not 100% sure that it's him, but people have been banned in the past for posting that photo on the forums
Paradox's games are being more complete on launch as of recently they are not underdeveloping them before release.
@ruby crest I liked Vicky, but the factory construction noise will stay with me until the day I die
or railroads
I play muted
Why is CP being discussed on the paradox forums?
Have you seen the comments on some stellaris workshop content? White supremissy when black people are included inside a british clothing pack.
Rip
Have you seen the new garrison features?
I would much rather have the new garrison feature be free then blitz plan.
But the garrison feature is free
I mean they could give you the blitz feature but lock garrison behind the paywall. They are not excluding the most important features to the paywall and are giving you the more important ones.
I'mma wait bitching til more features are shown; I just really want em to put the tank/ship models up for purchase
I want more features so I can throw more china men to there death
The solution to 80% of chinas problems is more men
Will we ever see the China-Japan war cause less WT? :c
Will we ever see it finish if china won?
I would totally be fine if there was a event that caused china to annex japanese manchuria, and have a option to puppet/faction/annex korea. All it needs is a event
@obtuse condor @ruby crest I'm gonna replace the nuke noise in HoI
because the vanilla one
you know nukes in World in Conflict?
Yeah
yeah, that sound
that's what I'm gonna make nukes in HoI sound like
don't mind the poor quality, Vocaroo kills the bitrate on uploads
This though
@obtuse condor meh
there are so many dog noises in HoI
for the dev debug mode
I wished the game would tell you why it crashes when you try to load it
my error log is empty
there are no unassigned provinces
and there is not a single assigned unit in an oob
Did you run the game in -debug mode?
now that I know it exists I will
@obtuse condor Did you edit the defines with notpad and not notpad++?
Did you clear your cache?

oh wow Lithuania super STRONK
Is that lithuania or poland-lithuania?
it's lithuania-poland
poland is a mistake
and WHEN IS KAISEREICH COMING OUT ALREADY
@obtuse condor I don't recall Poland stretching to Siberia
unless of course you mean contemporary Russia of that time, and even that the statement is not quite correct, they did control the most important bits for a while
The Time of Troubles (Russian: ะกะผััะฝะพะต ะฒัะตะผั) was a period of Russian history comprising the years of interregnum between the death of the last Russian Tsar of the Rurik Dynasty, Feodor Ivanovich, in 1598, and the establishment of the Romanov Dynasty in 1613. In 1601โ03, Russia suffered a famine that killed one-third of the population, about two million. At the time, during the PolishโMuscovite War (1605โ18) (known as the Dimitriads), Russia was occupied by the PolishโLithuanian Commonwealth, and suffered f...
that barely counts
like they got kicked by a bunch of peaants pretty much
@obtuse condor this is the closest the Polish got to the stated "owned most of Russia" premise
I was merely refuting Riso's point
tbh
Poland was a mistake
most nation states were a mistake
but a necessary one
probably
@obtuse condor nobody cares for historical complains in an alt-hist mod
I would like to see Hitler as a field marshal
Level -1
minus to tactic
Give yourself a bit of a challenge against Russia while still being a bit historical
he actually had very good intuition but he was also overworked, his subordinates ignored his orders or simply did not tell him anything
@obtuse condor we weren't talking about the mod though
I sure as shit wasn't
so why you'd ping me
because I thought you weren't either
well you were w r o n g
partially
I'm still correct on the historical point
<reloadoob> is broken; it duplicates planes
If he was overworked...
Then he should have learned a very nice skill called...
Delegation.
When you've modified a nations laws to point where YOU are the law.
You should use that power.
how many hoi2/dh submarines equal 1 hoi4 submarine
@obtuse condor What do you mean?
didn't hitler order the Stalingrad armies to not retreat, resulting in a terrible defeat
Yeah
And I believe a general was promoted to Field Marshal, with the intention to symbolize that there would be no retreat
the old games pretended 5/10 dd/subs are 1 unit, hoi4 seems to go for individual units
civil war man
dont be so uncoo
yeah i just realized
just shows how lazy paradox is with the flags!
ps total conversions where you have to redo the entire world with units sucks
@obtuse condor @obtuse condor To answer your question and confirm your belief. Yes, the order of the army that was trapped inside Stalingrad was to hold their position and not breakout or retreat. In an attempt to ensure this, Hitler promoted the commander, Friedrich Paulus, to the rank of Field Marshal. Before that fateful day, no German Field Marshal had ever surrendered, all of them had opted for suicide or never lost. Hitlers expectation of Paulus by giving him that rank was indeed symbolic, since Paulus now had the tradition of a German Field Marshal on his shoulders.
However, Paulus didn't care and surrendered anyway. He's quoted as saying the following: I have no intention of shooting myself for that Bohemian corporal, making reference to the fact that Hitler's military experience was that of a corporal during The Great War and the fact that he also was a painter in his youth, not that he was from the region of Bohemia.
anyone know how the game treats the urban tile on the map and how to change it?
it's unrelated to setting the characteristics
Terrain map I think
Do you mean visually, terrain, or building slots
@obtuse condor
I moved a leader to a different country and now the game cant find it
so I changed the path
however [texturehandler.cpp:163]: Texture Handler encountered missing texture file: gfx/leaders/AUT/gfx/leaders/GER/Portrait_Germany_Erwin_von_Witzleben.dds
that's right, using picture = "gfx/leaders/GER/Portrait_Germany_Erwin_von_Witzleben.dds" gives me the error above
also I am really not sure what the id is for on the leaders it works fine without
added a new leader ahead of hte old one in the file
but the game still picks the one I dont want??
please help with my mod, thanks https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/mod-hegemonia-a-wiz-written-alt-hist.980848/
@obtuse condor can help with localisation stuff
what language
Russian
German, if there is a need for that
thank god it's russian the last thing I need is german
how come?
you'd think that German would be way more needed than Russian of all languages
Mutterspracheeeeeeeeeee
oh
that would explain it
appreciate it but right now I have basically nothing except country names
but if we really stretch this, I can get you some really unusual speakers in here
the russia in the mod is social democratic btw
at the verge of becoming full commie
it's quite funny
I really need some national focuses though
the mod is technically playable because I placed all the units already but only default focus so nothing really happens
usually I'd 'borrow' from kaiserreich but it's not out, pretty terriblee
@obtuse condor Is your mod on the Steam Workshop?
its not done
Oh
(I can't access the forum post because it requires me to be signed in and it won't let me create an account)
Is there any mod to add to the Logistics?
What do you mean add?
Like bring more detail into it
LIke? More then just you can have this many per area
What do you mean
As far as I know the only signficant change was local supply, no escorts, and no supply resource
HoI 4 dumbed down logistics as much as possible, not saying HoI 3 was complicated
Yeah which annoys the fuck out of me
@ruby crest HoI 3 logistics was based around the fact that you could have supply corridors, more or less
one province wide
that way you could build up infrastructure there
You can have that in the game. They did not remove it
they just made that corridor a size of a country
you can't just hit one province and cut the supplies off
no, you need to get most of the region to do it now as well as all physical connections through that region
that's just the tip of the iceberg
@ruby crest but what it all boils down to is this
say you know that the enemy has a logistical hub in some region
you can hit it with paratroopers
then provide then with supplies with transport planes dropping supplies
No ammount of modding would be able to reintroduce that.
I am pretty sure that would be a free feature
A paid feature would be like the ability to draw supply corodors.
@ruby crest That's what we thought about the blitz function.
@obtuse condor Blitz is not mandetory. Its good to have but not mandetory. Where supply lines are mandetory. They are not going to have 2 different ways supply lines work based on DLC. You would pay for the ability to influence or change them.
But its not mandatory for gameplay. If you don't have it will suck but it won't prevent you from playing the game. Improved garrision is more important then blitz. If you don't have improved garrison you will need to spend much more time and impact your ability to play the game.
A example of a mandatory feature is forts in eu4. They cannot really delete every fort in the map and lock it behind a paywall. It cannot be done its mandetory to give. Where click the + development button is not mandetory.
blitz? improved garrison?
I tried to combine blackice and emperor of the world for shits and giggles and it fucked europe up so hard
also america apparently
what's blitz though?
probably an attack order, haven't read dev diaries yet
@ashen forge https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/hoi4-development-diary-october-12th-2016.973797/
fucking hell
thats alot
@ruby crest a blitz feature
in a game about WW2
not mandatory
considering how I micro in MP all the time, I get the point, but do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound when you say that?
how hard can one man shill for Paradox?
the blitz feature is just a more direct attack order
if you have a force made up of motorized, light tanks and infantry, you're blitzing
I think it triggered ppl more so bc it was listed as a "paid feature" when it seemed like a regular attack order
it's DLC, what do people expect to be paid for, no new features?
I mean, it's Paradox, maybe they just expect portraits
looking at you, CK2
it feels pretty bland, you'd kinda expect these things at first release, people were more so expecting focus trees for places like china, romania, spain, etc
one of the dev diaries mentioned that with the NZ focus tree, you could invade australia, meanwhile NZ barely had enough population to field 3 divisions irl, seems like a waste of time and effort for a country with not alot of interest
maybe TheRedPill can invade New Zealand then
I don't think many people will even touch New Zealand, alot of countries could've used a focus tree more
A NZ focus tree strengthens UK. It gives UK more acess to oil. If they gave spain or china a focus tree they would be doing them a injustice. They need more then just a simple focus tree added. They need things like improved border war. Because currently border war is 100% won by nationalist.
it gives the UK more access to oil he says, because the UK is obviously incapable of getting more oil through conquest or factories for it
@ruby crest I've never seen PRC lose borderwar, mp, ai, and sp
I have twice in SP
The only time I've seen it lose was me as natchina in sp
They only kill PRC when Nationalist dies usually
Gonna try out the Liberated mod with the zombie mod
nice
I'm thinking of Joining the Axis as France
Maybe german reich
Since I suck at managing countries in africa
Screw it, I'm going Luxemburg
Are you kidding me? Japan and Italy are giving volunteers to the zombies
Tbh, it removes all factions from the game except the country leader your playing as
So if you play as Soviets
Only comintern would be in the game
German Reich: Only axis
and so on
I wouldn't say it's unpolished
I'd say it's because of how stupid Japan's and Italy's AI is
It's clearly unpolished.
It is unpolished
you can download a playable now https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/mod-hegemonia-a-wiz-written-alt-hist.980848/

pls my grammar sucks a lot
I've noticed
quality chat
@lucid merlin it's fairly typical of this place
Hey, question to any modders. Where is the assosciated localisation txt file for desc = when using create_country_leader
?
@obtuse condor that mod, hegemonia, can you post a non-paradox forum download here?
PIRATE
I cant access the forum thread due to it requiring a forum account, I get an error whenever I try to sign up
I've been trying for nearly a month
since november the 23rd, to be precise
yyou have to sign in with the paradox account you scrub
the only thing I have is the map and placed units
not even the industry is assigned
ok
it's all default values from the base game
@obtuse condor who gives a fuck?
the more people pirate their shit, the better
Johan's tears will be palpable at that point
Paradox forum downloads vs the easy workshop too
after all, he was the one who said this
Why would we use the forums instead of autodownload and update
^
Any modders around?
I know how to mod
@earnest venture
@ruby crest check pm
ive bought every pdox game since hoi3 and have every expansion for every game except ck2, legit; and i still say screw the forum mods, workshop is far superior (if badly organized)
workshop does have limits on the size of the mods
and some mods are only on the forum because of this
but yeah
workshop is superior
trying to figure out how to deal with the new autonomy feature for my mod
I cant even properly test it without the dlc
I just see a few changes in the main game with new puppets around
@obtuse condor could you post the file for that hegemonia mod thing directly here please?
(as I've mentioned before, I cant sign up to the forum)
I need a flag for German Burma
ok?
@runic mason
thanks
I'm probably being an idiot
but
I have put the hegemonia file into my HOI4 mods folder and selected it via the launcher
but when I go to the country selection
its the regular historically accurate map
@obtuse condor
extract the zip into mod\
I put the .mod file I got from the .rar into my mods folder
(in the first place)
nvm
putting the folder that was in the .rar has fixed it
is that communist sealand
no, netherlands
top tier
top kek
petition to change it to Sassy Hitler
ok
adolf hellnaw
@obtuse condor
@runic mason I didnt bother uplaoding my mod to not receive any feedback dammit!
it looks interesting
I like it
Anyone here use Kaiserreich mod?
Yea
@rich matrix yeah, why
@maiden lantern fucking pirate

I hate having to design national focuses
which is my result is 0
and I need several
pretty bad
@obtuse condor I feel you
especially if I have to design more then one generic tree
shockingly enough you arent a help either
I can help
kinda
what do you need?
right now I'm working on the events for the timeline 2000-2005
but i'm kinda free
what I need is a basic layout for foreign policy that goes beyond simply "claim X"
thats ignoring all the other parts in teh tree for now
hmm
japan cant take korea because it's british and britain is allied with russia

the reds need to attack austria to connect italy with the mainland
france needs to annex occitania before striking at germany
lithuania and russia have a grudge match
the chinese need to have a go at another
the indian emperor wants his throne in constantinople back
mazula used to be #1 until america finally beat it in a war so there's revanchism time
and america would love to have a pacific coast
germany is at the brink of civil war while at the same time being the reason to keep the status quo
lithuanian commonwealth!
russia freed itself from their oppressive shackles i n the great liberal revolution of 1848

whats yall favorite mod
Historical german flag
mine is Kaiserreich
What do you guys think of Millinium dawn
eh
Lol
Ik it's kinda eh
But I need what this eh means
It's for "educational purposes"
cough exploiting the weakness points
Historical german flag because i don't want to think norway is invading the soviet union
you mean you never invaded the soviet union with norway?
I dont like millenium dawns tech system
Western countries should have huge tech bonuses
And everything should be ahead of time
Because ISIS should not be able to research on par with big nations
Also noone starts with nukes
LOl
Mellenium Dawn
Yes start with nukes tho
Becuae that is how it is
America and Russia and China & co should start with tech bonuses
HOW DARE YOU INSULT ISIS
And nukes
ALLAH AKBAR
Yeah
Isis needs a unique focus tree
Foreign fighters
All that
Also US should bomb middle east more
No one has a uniqe focus tree
Iraq should start as Us puppet
yeah
And Us should have war goal against ISIS
Since if the right people get in power
But Iran deal should be an event
Realy what they need is tone of events
Yeah
Also they need the war message to happen more
I was palestine
I could build modern jet fighters
Then Ireland.
Allahu ahkbar isreal
Ierland joined Csto
Is there northern ireland resistance
Has troops in Norway prepping for invasion of denmark
No
Russia and Co declared
I used norwegen backdoor to crush them
Then I invaded China
India
el salvador
Fucking Poland got way to much land
I saw one DDRjake game where he played bhutan
And greece got half of russia
Peace confrences suck
Millenium dawn seems like it has a lot of potential
I literaly had to help them take out Belarus
But it needs more work
It needs to be expanded like KR
Definitely
I think is they just added more people
Opened Ideas to the public
I could write tones of events
Hey
well some of you don't know me
but I'm the Hearts of Iron Modern War team leader
I've listened to the suggestions
which makes sense
and HoI 4 version later became Modern War
still not released
since we don't want to release a half finished mod pretty much
True
play my alt-hist, nerds
well
I'm not here to judge which is better
we have a discord channel for the mod btw
Extract into My Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod
pick France, Union of Rome, Japan, Russia, American Federation or Mazula with its very bad national focus to go to war
tell me how it went five years later
I have a feeling it'll be real interesting
clearly better than your silly modern day mod :p
Immma try it
It didnt work
you are doing something wrong
if anyone is interested in the Hearts of Iron Modern War mod here's our discord Https://discord.gg/4RcK3uQ
my mod, for sure
modern wars seem a bit pointless in hoi
"local intensity conflicts"
and always a nuke waiting at the other end
umm
not really
there will be a defcon system
also you can develop SDIs
and ABMs
you can't even get a simple mod download working what makes you think I trust dodgy game mechanics like taht??/
cause I've already made such a mod before
on a much harder engine to work on
Hearts of Iron 3
hoi3
fool me once shame on me
hoi3 mod
ok I fucked tha tsayin up but you know what I mean
maybe I should show you
Again, I can't convince you
everyone have their style

@white rose u still need some players?
the cover image for the steam workshop
where do I set that
in ck2 you dump it into the mod folder and put it into the mod file before you upload
You put it inside your mod folder then need to tell the .mod to use it inside stellaris. Probably the same
@obtuse condor picture="celestialworkings-armies-icon.jpg"
is there some size limit
I don't really know
small question guys
no answer goy
ok I got it
so how is it possible to change the launcher's pic?
not in a mod
dont think so at least
you have to replace a file in the launcher, duh
lol
when you click hoi4.exe the launcher opens
you're clearly stuck in the past
also computer challenged
it's almost like there's a pdx_launcher folder
Hmmm so any recommended mod's or just cool one's you guy's know about for this game?
Kaiserreich
Milennium Dawn
The Great War
Fatherland 1964
Emperor of the World
Pax Russica
all of those are on the steam workshop
@hybrid tendon

that's right @runic mason and @marble gorge you have no excuses no mo
lol
wat
excuse for what?
looks good
excuse for you being too dum to use a 7z
also noice mod thumbnail
I'm thinking of doing something like that LP
but first I need to git gud at EU4
and Victoria 2
what you have to realise is that you have to come up with events and craft a story
else it's going to be really boring
and always remember
players are going to fuck it all up
by picking the worst option every time
because picking the worst option is FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN
oh damn I forgot to change the egyptian image
I am using a different flag n ow
oh w/e
I'd be inclined to suggest the mods I've either helped to make or made myself.
Which is Vanilla + (helped) and Dieu Et Mon Droit (made), respectively.
However!
I've not played Vanilla + and DEMD is far from complete.
But, people seem to like what's been done so far.
write events and national foci for my mod tia http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=829797763

Our mod (Hearts of iron : Modern War) has started the recruitment of experienced modders , we mainly need someone able to write focus trees and events (time period for now is 2000-2016 later to be extended to the past)
If anyone is interested please send me a PM on discord, and thanks everyone
To the second part of my message, I found something weird while coding an event
The set_political_power have the same effect as add , contrary to what it should be
Anyone else encountered that?
No.
And sadly...
I'm making my own mod.
Here's my partially constructing Hungarian tree.
revise trianon 11/10
you probably should add some heavy tank licensing if you join germany
@obtuse condor You like the design?
there is no neutral path
Well...
That's where you're ever so slightly wrong, sir.
When I was designing it, my idea was that Hungary would align towards a particular ideology.
And since Hungary was being ruled by an anti-communist Regent.
It was either towards the Allies or the Axis.
Which is why the political and economic focuses are inter-connected.
However!
You can turn away from them.
Which is what the House of Horthy and Crown The King focuses are for.
Going down your own path.
Crowning the king or crowning Horthy causes both sides to become angry since they both assumed that you would be grateful for their investment in Hungarian industry.
Instead, you've crowned the emperor that was ousted from the throne, or crowned a new one, and wish to begin taking the lands that were lost through Trianon.
Which means you're going to go head to head with Italy and Germany.
Well, when it says court the Axis and Allies.
It doesn't actually do anything permanent.
Allow me to elaborate.
When you start the game.
You pick whether you will either stay fascist or begin the transition to either non-aligned or democratic.
Deter the king to stay fascist and prepare the crown for NA/Democratic.
That pops a spirit that either begins to decrease communism and fascism (prepare the crown) or decreases non-aligned and democracy (deter the king).
Court the Axis/Allies will most likely be a stepping stone that will cause them to provide a technology boost to industrial techs and let you attract investors.
And the investors?
They're a spirit that provides a 10%/15% boost to civilian/military factory development.
you can stop your ranting, I dont care
Oh, you could have said.
its too early for that shit
11 but I need more tee
Fair enough.
Regardless, the point is, in its simplest form, that the first 2/3 of the tree is a political game of necessity. Once you're in a strong enough position, you can backstab the Axis/Allies and take your own path.
there's 13 hungary national focus mods already. you better make a strong case why yours is better
My case is simply this...
not to me to players
