How do naval invasions and army access work? I’m Italy, attempting to invade Albania. My troops can’t go into Albanian ports, and my troops in Greece (who let me move my army through them) aren’t able to form a front line. What do I do?

Any tips on winning the civil war as Communist Japan (DLC)? I got stuck for 2 years. and just dropped it. There's a lot of troops.
I grabbed the bottom have of Japan with PP, did as many underground resistance descisions with CP.

I need help. I'm playing the Netherlands and I'm working on moving the capital to the East Indies. The problem is that I'm unsure about the focuses that remove the De Crisisjaren national spirit. These focuses are cancelled if I lose the territories of the Netherlands, so I wanted to know if I get the De Crisisjaren national spirit back or if the factories built by the focuses are simply destroyed.

defensively you lack org, offensively you lack attack

Hawaii is a developed rural region

#

Which makes sense because it's huge compared to the other islands

glacial steeple
#

not the mountain part

neat widget
#

The thing is that they assigned a state classification per state

#

Which then affects the max tile caps

#

So if Honolulu is a level 10 port the rest of the islands have to be at least level 8 (since +2 port modifier)

#

They could classify Hawaii like the Solomons, large islands which have level 8 ports

#

Noooo my straightforward linear focus tree

pliant condor
#

the issue with the new china is that if you don't cap them by 1938, they will annex warlords making their capitulation limit even higher

worthy quarry
#

i didnt play japan but the ai seems worse

pliant condor
#

so you want to get 3 collaboration government done on them asap

#

and capitulate them before jan 1938

worthy quarry
#

i used to need a year to prepare now i can just join war immediately

night temple
#

i made it to this point andf im wondering when and what type of ships i should build after i take malaya and indonesia to combat the alllied fleets

pliant condor
#

? or is it a puppet

night temple
pliant condor
#

oh that's kinda bad

#

but ah

glacial steeple
#

#

bit less pain cuz of vols

but still pain

night temple
pliant condor
glacial steeple
#

dont ask how i know

night temple
pliant condor
#

compared to triple collab

pliant condor
#

totally none vanilla

glacial steeple
# pliant condor dafuq

its like pretty far ish down? but still even having a collab government can be crippling

#

hmm

#

i noticed when i puppet annexed the collab (it didnt give me compliance on all states) i got 100% compliance everywhere

night temple
glacial steeple
#

so maybe you just do that and cap warlords for guns + army deletion and easy war

pliant condor
#

you should totally do the funny exploit now also

glacial steeple
#

you miss some early eco tho

pliant condor
#

double the civs

#

it's like 80 extra civs

pliant condor
#

glacial steeple
#

but yeah thats also rlly good

pliant condor

#

but should be okay ish?

pliant condor
#

as long as you keep your whole fleet in one group you will win any engagement

pliant condor
#

when you need to pick pp advisor day 1 for this

pliant condor
night temple
#

ok

glacial steeple
#

because china war not capping warlords is kinda cancer

pliant condor
#

the eco would be crazy

night temple
#

should i change my engagement type for my navy or nah?

pliant condor
#

under one task force with ozawa admiral

#

and put all the subs in another task force

glacial steeple
#

and the other territory

pliant condor
#

ok tbh in the new version ai don't even know how to get navy in asia

#

pretty sure

night temple
pliant condor
#

which also engage the enemy navy

sinful vessel
#

any good guide on ship building somewhere ?

pliant condor
#

if there's anything

pliant condor
night temple
# pliant condor for convoy raiding

but dont i need atleast one spotter ship for big ship engagements or are you just referring to abusing submarines until they blow holes in enemy lines and then attack capital ships

glacial steeple
#

oh btw topazand capping the warlords doesnt just make china significantly weaker it also like fully solves the japan gun problem

#

cuz they all give you like 1K+ gun

pliant condor
#

you can always put your main fleet on patrol and under green air you would find enemy ships just fine

#

subs are also the best way to engage because once you catch a troop convoy, the enemy strike force would move out and you can engage them

#

patrol doesn't fine strike forces

# glacial steeple cuz they all give you like 1K+ gun

I have a possibly stupid idea
>cap shanxi in suiyuan incident
>give shanxi back to china/release shanxi just before war
>take beijing, force annexation of beijing-chahar
> land in shanghai and beeline for wuhan
> land in guangdong but immediately withdraw
> cap china

glacial steeple
#

also it doesnt matter its just 300 pp

#

aqnd temporarily some eco to ai which im sure will make guns

neat widget
#

300 pp for what, i missed that part

glacial steeple
#

annexing china?

#

you click collab event

#

and when you annex them you get 100% compliance everywhere

neat widget
#

Must be another multiplayer mod thing I'm guessing

glacial steeple
#

no?

#

you can do that in vanilla

neat widget
#

No way

#

that feels game-breaking

#

where is this

glacial steeple
#

also this focus exists

#

lets you annex any level puppet for 100 pp

glacial steeple
#

cap china

#

event pops up because 100% compliance to create a collab gov puppet

#

you click that

#

then integrate/annex puppet

#

and you should have full compliance on all chinese states

#

and it allows you to cap warlords instead of having to go around them cuz compliance

neat widget
#

btw do you think puppeting mengjiang is useful or is it not

night temple
glacial steeple
#

if you want to spend focus time on it then do so

#

if you want to annex their eco they should join the CUF

#

it gives you a few more units if you find that useful ig

roughly how you kill the new china

  • convert most of your divs to the small one(12 width + edit to add support artillery), keep 12 of the large hohei shidan(you can add a few marine and recon light tank but it doesn't matter much). in addition it helps to train 50 divisions of 2 width, converted to a copy of the 12 width template with guns disabled to hold the front
  • assuming that you don't do the mengjiang focus, take manchu divs and put them on the front, with the empty divs. extend this frontline whenever there's a region you don't want to push in(e.g. shanxi)
  • build 2 air base in hebei. make sure to fly air over northern china at war.
  • pick spy advisor with your first 200 pp(after tanaka as army offense advisor), 5 agency upgrades and do repeat collab mission on china
  • do the hebei garrison focus in time to declare on china
  • at war declaration push beijing with all your divisions, make sure to micro so when the warlord capitulates you encircle the chinese divs in the north, you can kill like 30 divs this way
  • build a railway from tongzhou to kalgan once you take it
  • keep pushing north and focus on making encirclements, and start planning naval invasion to shandong with 2 width.(two orders)
  • when china annex the northern warlords, start pulling back divisions back to behind beijing(let them walk into peking but you can keep tianjin)
  • let china walk into peking, click total mobilization, then start pushing and naval invading, should be very easy from this point on if you have made encirclements before
  • make sure to not capture nanjing before starting the third collab mission, you only need until like wuhan to capitulate china at 3 collabs. make sure to not push too far and capitulate them before third collab
  • once you do the flip fascist focus, justify and declare on sinkiang before you capitulate CUF
#

also how you do peacedeal(without the funny method):

#
  1. take a save just in case
  2. clicking each state on the map one-by-one to take all the warlord territory(anything other than main china) in one round
  3. take main china in the second round

# glacial steeple i wouldnt it consider top playable minors

Depends what you're looking for I guess. I like the idea of defeating a much large force, high k/ds, etc. Beating the allies navy with a communist faction or holding back the Axis with the likes of Romania for example.

I like playing in South America, there's just no challenge when you pick off each neighbour 1 by 1

ok

pliant condor

just make sure you have manpower

#

if you were fascist you can pretty much make anything and win

go on 10% recruitable before war, also click the desperate defense operation doctrine

so you have 15% recruitable

#

I heard Finland national focus is very powerful

pliant condor
#

this is from the old version but basically all should apply(ok you can't pick the proper heritage spirit so just don't change template), also you can't go mass mob anymore so just go pick desperate defense on operations subdoctrine and get 5% manpower

everything else is pretty much the same

pliant condor
#

the army focuses are very broken

you are also fascist which is even easier

charred fable
# pliant condor yeah, you pushed too far

I am so good, I have become inefficient. I love it! Its kind of a bad system when you think about it. You have to win the war later than you can to maximise your industry.

I suppose its worth it for being able to pop total mobilise and getting 3 collabs.

# ornate ferry no

that may explain why i can't supress resistance enough ^^ How do you do ?

i think you supress resistance through the occupied territories menu

Hi, I’m on Linux Mint (Ubuntu 22.04 base) and after the latest HOI4 update the game only launches in vanilla, even when mods are enabled in the Paradox launcher.

I used ChatGPT to help write this because my English isn’t very good, sorry.

What happens:

  • Mods are enabled in the launcher
  • I click Play → the game always launches in vanilla
  • No errors shown

My setup:

  • Running the native Linux version (not Proton)
  • dlc_load.json is located here:
    ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/dlc_load.json

What I’ve tried:

  • verifying game files through Steam
  • deleting dlc_load.json so it regenerates
  • checking permissions
  • enabling/disabling mods again

Question:
Is this a known issue after the update? Are there any Linux-specific workarounds?

Thanks!
