[glacial steeple]

tho you should do mountaineer+ranger if u can

so the support comp is busted

[versed rose]

forest and urban buffs are kinda goated in barb

might just be my opponent being worse than me though

spgs got encircled by rangers

[ivory wraith]

Can someone tell me how many carriers I can have in a fleet before it starts getting debuffs?

[glacial steeple]

on all units

• MEV buffs

shouldnt be an issue

[versed rose]

bottom right image only applies to ranger line

[glacial steeple]

i forgor

still

very strong

[versed rose]

i have 48% urban with that template which was disgusting

spgs bouncing off kiev was funny

28% in forest is pretty good too

im not sure its truly optimal but it felt good to play

[lunar notch]

i researched so many navy technologies my fleet should be immortal by now

[indigo orchid]

so recently, if I play a game for a little while, then save...and turn off my rig. Next day, that save becomes worthless as the moment I un-pause, the FPS tanks to 1-3, and it takes minutes to get past a handful of days at full speed. Then it clears up after a month passes, and then a month later it crashes hard, it's repeatable....wtf is going on?

[glacial steeple]

yeah ive had it too with a save

[versed rose]

also yea, the ranger support company is ungodly goated now, the xp is just a little hard to get

[glacial steeple]

go to forums and make a bug report

nothing we can do

[versed rose]

also soviet doesnt get second specialization in pure vanilla without finishing navy tree

[glacial steeple]

15 support equipment btw

but noo people glaze engineers

[versed rose]

so stupid

[glacial steeple]

we even have an engineer doctrine with how much people glaze it

[versed rose]

only reason i didnt have it in that div was i lose out on like 80 breakthrough if i replace tank recon

might do a ranger germany game to troll around next time i find a no disc game

35% in forest gonna go hard in France and Barb

[glacial steeple]

what does break do against bad enemies

[versed rose]

its the cool factor of having a light tank recon smh

also i wanted to click Spgs

[glacial steeple]

dozer blades are the only good tank module

[stuck garnet]

Are spgs like good as an alternative to howitzer meds

[versed rose]

there is no reason to do howitzer meds anymore

[stuck garnet]

Is the lack of breakthrough a big problem

[stuck garnet]

?

Soft attack

Im in singleplayer

[versed rose]

spgs have more soft attack

[stuck garnet]

Oh

[versed rose]

inf dont have enough hard attack for the breakthrough loss to matter for spg vs med

[stuck garnet]

Oh

Thats amazing actually

[glacial steeple]

they also just

cost less

for more stat

[versed rose]

20% less

[glacial steeple]

20% less cost

[versed rose]

for some stupid reason

idk why they made tank variants cost the same amount of models

but regular tanks are still

60 light, 50 med, 40 heavy

???

why tf

purposely trying to make regular tanks go extinct bruh

also casey, new AT doctrine feels goated

46 hard in 1 cw is insane

i need to try some stupid sitter truck build

[glacial steeple]

gives trench

good doctrine

tbh trench stacking is kinda ba

d

but its funny

[strong valley]

why when I play A-His is there no where near as much variation of paths from save to save? Like germany almost always has the military junta civil war and france is almost always communist or democratic

[glacial steeple]

its weighted random unless you change game settings

[versed rose]

poor rng ig

[strong valley]

it just seems weird, my past 9 playthroughs, 8 of them had junta germany and none of them were ever anything interesting, no fascism switching majors

<@&846894118219022336>

[indigo orchid]

done, and searched the forums, found another post which is close to similar enough, but not quite...also not the same game. Looks like this might be a recent patch issue.

[empty nova]

is it still possible for japan to rush the usa?

[spiral crag]

how do i naval invade this

[subtle rune]

@glacial steeple he edited the message

This is the original

[glacial steeple]

ah sorry for not noticing

[subtle rune]

no problem

toxicity is over the top and moderators are not active enough in VCs to stop this

the amount of hate and N words

it's unbarable

[glacial steeple]

sorry im not personally very interested in joining the mp servers here but i see you

[sinful vessel]

To make a flamer tank i just need the special project ? Or also the 41 research ?

[glacial steeple]

just project and any tank chassis researched

[sinful vessel]

ok. and is it usefull ? i've research it in my previous games, but never tried it ^^

[neat widget]

Sheep's Mod?

[lunar notch]

how does the situation looks

[neat widget]

As suggested probably invade on the northern ports so that the southern forces can't react

[subtle rune]

i know, i even asked to become moderator like 1 year ago, and i wasn't able to.
The VCs are currently the far west

[sour wadi]

hey, been doing mapuche and i really need advice. theese mountaineers have been a gods-send to me throughout the round, 1944. but i was wondering if i could improve em somehow, cuz im gonna have to fight the USA, UK, france, all of em pretty much alone (mp is my only real limitor, and well, research)

[neat widget]

fair

[subtle rune]

make them 25 W at least.
Add Support Anti-Air

[sour wadi]

oop, they were lol, sorry didnt realise i got a combat width down

[spiral crag]

no Road to 56

[neat widget]

what dlcs do you have other than toa

[subtle rune]

add one Mountaineer back

[sour wadi]

all of em except for the newest one

[neat widget]

You may be able to reinforce meme them off the southern ports if you have amtrac tanks

[spiral crag]

what is reinforse meme

[neat widget]

if you want to do that do make sure to get air supreiority

[sour wadi]

theese are my doctrines, (i wanted to optimise my artillery. plus the mp from desperate defence)

[neat widget]

enemy reserve units aren't able to reinforce in time and are therefore pushed off

[neat widget]

Makes some sense, mapuche chile gets so little manpower

that said this isn't optimal

[sour wadi]

i assumed not lol

[neat widget]

also you should try getting flame tanks and assault engineers

[sour wadi]

assault engineers i can do, flame tanks idk

[neat widget]

the ideal mountaineer is 32-33 width actually

[sour wadi]

what type?

cuz uhh

[neat widget]

and it's mostly just mountaineers, perhaps with a tank or two (but not more)

[sour wadi]

chile does not cook w tanks </3

[thin zealot]

Best way to host discord mp games will always be a server you own
Also allows you to more easily filter out trolls

[neat widget]

typically mediums, you could go heavies though

[versed rose]

interwar is all you need for flame tank lmao

[neat widget]

also get some airpower

yeah interwar medium is good for flame tank

[glacial steeple]

kumul khanata and kmt china start with tank tech

the other warlords dont

[sour wadi]

im currently in a stable position luckily

germany will fall soon tho

[versed rose]

wtf Kumul Khanate

[sour wadi]

so it will just me be vs the allies

[glacial steeple]

powerful ik

they also get some navy tech

[versed rose]

lmao

good one paradox

[glacial steeple]

you can check

its like level 1 techs but still

[sour wadi]

i swear ai germany has gotten worse after the update

[neat widget]

not the kumul tank

i can confirm though

[sour wadi]

im so glad i didnt make this a puppet lol

screw liberation, i need your arse for my army

[sinful vessel]

The flame tank is a support division ?

[sour wadi]

they beg me to press this

[formal cove]

how i can get rid of truce and what is it?

[thin zealot]

you wait

[formal cove]

wym?

how long?

[sour wadi]

my chile path has a max of 3 research slots

oml getting aircraft is gonna be a pain </3

[formal cove]

uh ,they attacked me first

[formal cove]

yeh but i got rid of non aggresion pact

[thin zealot]

There should be an icon for it in your diplomatic relations, hover over the german flag

[sour wadi]

well, germany will soon fall, and thats when the real challenge begins

[thin zealot]

Which automatically gives a short truce

[ivory wraith]

Should I have a small fleet dedicated to patrolling now in navy?

and what should I make that fleet up of? Light cruisers with high detection followed by some screens?

I have new DLC

[subtle rune]

I do have one.
But i want to spread my mod outside of it. But it's clearly a waste of time

[sour wadi]

usually just light cruisers, high detection on do not engage, right?

[ivory wraith]

I have no idea I barely touch navy and now theres a whole new update

[sour wadi]

may be wrong

[ivory wraith]

that sounds good enough lol

playing as Japan rn

[sour wadi]

ye, light cruisers themselves are screens

so having screening ships i dont think would help

[thin zealot]

Anything beats the ai

[ivory wraith]

so having like this 32 fleet consist of cruisers patrolling would be okay?

cruisers and maybe destroyers

[thin zealot]

Spreading your mod through MP games will rarely ever succeed, most people play the game and then uninstall it again

[bleak plinth]

whats the difference??

[thin zealot]

The expansion pass also contains 2 yet to be released dlc

[bleak plinth]

what do they contain?

[hasty mist]

Why can't I see any of the divs?

[bleak plinth]

maybe try restarting your game

like reloading it

[hasty mist]

Like I can see the ones from Axis

But no british ones.

[hasty mist]

Didn't work.

[bleak plinth]

only time that ever happened to me was when the game was veryyyyy late

[neat widget]

you probably accidentally clicked the setting where you only show your own divisions

[bleak plinth]

like 1950s

[hasty mist]

No, cuz I can see german troops.

[bleak plinth]

idts because it would show the men

like the 3d model

[neat widget]

huh

[thin zealot]

-# I'd assume currently nothing
Thunder at Our Gates: Australia, Siam and Indonesia content
Peace For Our Time: Czechoslovakia content
Also some 3d models no one cares about

[bleak plinth]

Tysm appreciate it

wait

what

czechoslovakia

?

thats so random

[thin zealot]

Yes

[dusty sandal]

desperate defense is really good anyway because of the manpower and 20% soft attack for all units

[sour wadi]

that too

[stuck garnet]

this good?

[tropic jolt]

Guys how do i naval invade britain as germany, after the new dlc its alomst impossible

[bleak plinth]

man how do i do the legacy of cyrus the great these achievements seem impossible... i have to beat the allies as persia?!?!

[sinful vessel]

Is it usefulle to have some motorized division with tank division in the same warmy or is it a waste of ressources ?

[jovial elk]

I usually build medium and heavy tanks but,are land cruisers good?

[cold bloom]

Yup

[crisp grotto]

Greeting generals i got a problem i am trying to unify china as Dai Li but there is no way i can throw out Shanxi with Gansu Ma and Guangdong Clique my former Communist ally left my faction and gave faction leader to me and i have no way to unify china because they already refused to become my puppet

[bleak plinth]

how do i do that

[cold bloom]

You could let yourself be carried by the Axis

[crisp grotto]

and since they are non aligned i see no way to throw them out (I am playing Vanilla with every DLC that adds content)

[stuck garnet]

it used to be but calv is just better ig

for now

[teal anvil]

Can someone teach me how to play pls

[bleak plinth]

is the new dlc fun?

[bleak plinth]

I reccomend the hoi4 tutorial and watching youtube tutorials

[teal anvil]

Ok thx

[sinful vessel]

you mean cav brigade in the division template (which is already a usefull information for me though 😉 ) or cavalry divisions alongside tank divisions ?

[bleak plinth]

you cant learn it within 1 hour theres people with 1000+ hours and still havent mastered the game

[stuck garnet]

i mean like calv instead of motorized

unless you have mechanized

[sinful vessel]

It was a long time ago, but i remember the tutorial was good, and you can continue the game after, which i've found fun years ago ^^

[stuck garnet]

idkk it's outdated

[sinful vessel]

So for example 12 tank div and 12 cav div ?

[edgy pendant]

No

[teal anvil]

Kk thx

[ornate agate]

anyone have any good mods for player led peace deals that are achivement compatable. the system rn is total dog shit

[stuck garnet]

10 calv 8 tank

[sinful vessel]

Yes, in the division template, but i'am wondering with what to fill my army if i haven't enough tank division. I may use the wrong words sorry

[edgy pendant]

Just infantry then

[sinful vessel]

no matter if they are slower ?

[edgy pendant]

You said along side your tank divisions no?

[sinful vessel]

yes, in my "pushing" army

[edgy pendant]

Oh, so within the same division then

Yeah just use cavalry until you can produce mechanized

[sinful vessel]

No, within an army. Here for exemple i have 3 tank division, and 2 ca division. Should the cav be inf instead ? (no matter the number here, the screeshot just to be understandable.

[edgy pendant]

Probably

Don’t put infantry based divisions with tank based armies though

[lunar notch]

i messed up bad

[sinful vessel]

That is why i was thinking cav could help in this situation. But i may just try to have more tank ^^

[neat widget]

tank used to go at like 5 kmh so having 4 kmh infantry go along with it made sense

[versed rose]

there isnt really a need to do so, but if you want to play that way, cavalry is probably the best option for a 'follow up' force for a tank breakthrough since its cheap.

On an unrelated note, if you like playing with NATO icons, i recommend https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3057730113 (Ironman/Multiplayer Compatible)

[sinful vessel]

ty for the link, i only play with such icon, game is unreadable for me with 3D stuff

[opaque garden]

can anyone just play a game with me and help me with things because im having a major skill issue 😭 😭 😭

[bleak plinth]

Does anyone actually have legacy of cyrus the great achievement?

[shell arrow]

i just got the game and started as italy, my troops say they have to little organization to advance and its kinda screwing me, how can i let them back off for a bit to rest?

like right now nothing more is really happening, just pop shots

also im trying to train troops to get more troops to fight, and im trying to get ground troops, but i cant because i have no ground bases i guess how do i get those

[eager perch]

hello i have a question here

[cold nymph]

what the 3 mutual servers

[neat widget]

press h

this will stop your units from moving

[shell arrow]

then how will i resume their offensive line

they are still fighting they are on the front line

this game is really making me mad what do i do

[bleak plinth]

whats the most effective way of dealing with the kurds as turkey?

[shell arrow]

also why cant i deploy new troops there is no green area im trying to train ground troops

[thin zealot]

Ask away

[thin zealot]

You should be able to deploy them in mainland Italy

[neat widget]

right click on the enemy

[thin zealot]

Watch a tutorial, like with most paradox games they're a few hours long

[shell arrow]

yeah i cant

[thin zealot]

Screenshot?

[shell arrow]

watch a few hour long tutorial to learn how to invade a helpness nation if my troops could literally just advance and it would let me train more yeah ok

[thin zealot]

Mainland Italy is indeed green

The Italian peninsula

The place where Rome is

[shell arrow]

alright

and now i can put how many i want?

and how do i move them over will i need boats

i really wish my troops would stop being unorganized because they literally will not push any further into ethiopia

[thin zealot]

Convoys, they should embark automatically

[shell arrow]

as soon as they train they will move to ethiopia automatically?

nevermind i dont even think i can train them

[thin zealot]

You will have to tell them yo go there but actually getting them on and off of the ships will take no action from you

[shell arrow]

oh alright

wait no theyre training its just taking a bit

but look none of them will advance ive been at this point for like 2 years

[south ridge]

How do i wp japan? iirc if you fully kicked them out of the Chinese mainland they wp you, but did they change that?

[thin zealot]

You can hover over the bar and it will tell you an approximate date of deployment

[thin zealot]

It's bugged iirc

[thin zealot]

You have no supply

[south ridge]

another paradox banger

[shell arrow]

2 months to deploy is crazy

[shell arrow]

how can i fix it

[shell arrow]

for just one division btw

[thin zealot]

You are giving guys that barely know what guns are actually training

[thin zealot]

They train in parallel

[shell arrow]

oh ok

yeah so i just gotta get these guys supplies and im chillin

but how

this war has been going for 2 years my country is already not supportive of the war

[thin zealot]

Fairly certain actual military training takes longer

[shell arrow]

i have 37% stability

[shell arrow]

fair enough i suppose

please help me get my troops supplies

[thin zealot]

Man I haven't played Italy in years

[shell arrow]

okay but it cant be that hard to give these guys supplies right

[thin zealot]

Upgrade the port in Eritrea

[vital geode]

Why?

You can simply rush down Ethiopia and win

[shell arrow]

no i have it set to aggressive and its a stalemat they wont go any more

[vital geode]

You dont even need to bring the entire army down to Ethiopia to win

[thin zealot]

He has been stuck for 2 years, there is no more rushing down

[vital geode]

You need to micro

Oh

It's that bleak

Did he connect to the Aussa hub?

[shell arrow]

can sm1 just vc me rq

im actually about to punch my monitor

[thin zealot]

Didn't even remember that existed

[vital geode]

Do you have a railway from the Eritrea port to Aussa

[shell arrow]

idk what aussa is

like what are you guys even talking about can i vc and screenshare

[vital geode]

The place you annexed at the beginning of the game

[shell arrow]

yeah im not sure

[vital geode]

Press F4 and you get your map

for supply

[thin zealot]

You can see it on this screenshot, on the right side of the front line

[vital geode]

Oh, this is without DLC too

[shell arrow]

yeah there ssupplies there

how do i bring them

[shell arrow]

is the game any good without DLC?

[vital geode]

Yeah

[shell arrow]

im about to just refund this ngl if i gotta buy dlc and all that

[vital geode]

The Ethiopia war is easier without DLC

Since Ethiopia has a lot less troops

[shell arrow]

theres a lot of supplies over here how do i get them to the front line

[vital geode]

The goal is to make sure the Ethiopians don't entrench, but we are past that

[thin zealot]

And default bba planes are awful

[vital geode]

Not really

[vital geode]

Motorize your supply

[shell arrow]

i also have air superiority

[vital geode]

Also you forgot to do everything else on the notification bar

[sinful vessel]

Starting Italy, should i build some civ factory ?

[shell arrow]

how and what is a notification bar

[thin zealot]

In that map mode you click on the port, then the icon with the horse

Preferably twice

[shell arrow]

those arent even notifications.. yo im about to refund this game those arent even notifications those are other menus

there i motorized it

now what

[vital geode]

You have mils not being used
You have dockyards not being used
You have missing equipment in production
We have airwings not doing anything
We got divisions not assigned
We got decisions available
We are at war
We need coal
Set a national focus
Officer Corps role available
You can assign a political minister guy
There is research to be done
You got spare civilian factories to use

That is your notification bar

Hover over the pictures and it tells you

[shell arrow]

oh i see im doing those now

[vital geode]

I suggest you restart

[shell arrow]

but please tell me how to get these guys supplies it should not be this hard i motorized it

[vital geode]

Supply hubs have a range

[shell arrow]

alright bro this game is ass

[thin zealot]

It is a notification bar, clicking on each notification works as a shortcut to the menu where you could do something about it

[vital geode]

Once out of range, there is nothing you can do

[vital geode]

You needed to rush down Addis Ababa

[thin zealot]

I told you earlier

[shell arrow]

?????

[vital geode]

Also 2 clicks for max range

[shell arrow]

what do you think i was doing

[vital geode]

The capital of Ethiopia

[shell arrow]

i ddi that

they still got nothing

[shell arrow]

yeah wtf do you think i was trying to do?????

[vital geode]

once the ethiopians entrenched, it is pain and suffering

[shell arrow]

thats the whole issue here my troops wont fking move

[bleak plinth]

what the freak is this

[vital geode]

Huh, I thought Aussa was a supply hub

[thin zealot]

@shell arrow watch a tutorial, will make the game significantly easier to handle

[shell arrow]

im so hyped to restart

[vital geode]

You can do 6 per invasion

[shell arrow]

i tried and the dude goes really fast and doesnt cover things like supplying

[vital geode]

It is a buff if you think about it since you can get 12 invading with tech 1

[shell arrow]

im not watching a 3 hour tutorial because i will remember nothing i need to actually do this

[bleak plinth]

well clearly it says 2 💔

[vital geode]

You can do 2 invasions of 6 units

You want to max it out because a 1 division invasion and a 6 division invasion take the same amount of time

[bleak plinth]

oh

[vital geode]

Then play the tutorial

[bleak plinth]

that sucks

[vital geode]

Eh, I did a 72 division D-Day and that was fun

With only 1940 tech and marine doctrine

[shell arrow]

will the tutorial really cover how to get my guys supplies

it cannot be this hard that you guys cant just fking tell me

which buttons to press

[vital geode]

The supply hub is out of range

There is no button to press

There are supply dead zones

[shell arrow]

so what buttons do i press to fix it bro

holy fk

[thin zealot]

Build a new supply hub

[vital geode]

There is NO buttons to fix it besides maybe building a supply hub that takes half a year

[thin zealot]

https://youtu.be/QvHT121_lWQ?si=BgriYcbfbMSJsa3D

[vital geode]

Because you needed to manually attack with troops

[thin zealot]

A bit outdated

But should still work

[vital geode]

You can't just battleplan Ethiopia, you have to actually manually attack

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCqXIRRVZIY

[vital geode]

Do this one

[shell arrow]

which one is best

[vital geode]

Any Means Necessary

Do you have a field marshal btw

That is extra stats

[shell arrow]

yeah bro i know exactly what a field marshal is

[thin zealot]

Big general portrait at the bottom of your screen

[shell arrow]

yes i have a general

[vital geode]

Listen, I'm just trying to help. People who ask for help range from not being able to conquer Poland because they forgot to garrison the French border to wondering what the best division template is

[shell arrow]

yeah well i just want to learn how to play this game and it seems virtually impossible

[vital geode]

Did you actually click the tutorial

So you know what to do

Like the absolute basics

[shell arrow]

and they still wont go

[neat widget]

get cas

[shell arrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EB8TLvkZAM

im watching this

[vital geode]

Yeah no

[neat widget]

italy has like 400-600 cas and tactical bombers

use those

[shell arrow]

i did air superiority through th eregion

[neat widget]

it really helps

[spiral crag]

who here play Road to 56 i need help

[neat widget]

quickest i was able to capitulate ethiopia was in late march

[vital geode]

You can click and drag on the map to select troops

[shell arrow]

should i tick CAS and not air superiority

[vital geode]

and manually attack

[neat widget]

yes

also yeah

[vital geode]

No DLC btw, so Ethiopia has less troops

[shell arrow]

or should i click both

[neat widget]

i beelined for dessie basically

[spiral crag]

anyone plsss

[vital geode]

use special forces and win

They are busted in that mod

[spiral crag]

no not that

[shell arrow]

cas only or both

[spiral crag]

THIS

[vital geode]

Both

[shell arrow]

ok there

[vital geode]

Demobilize or lower trade law

What country are you playing

Or you can trade

[neat widget]

well if you select both cas and air superiority the italian fighters should do air superiority only and the tactical bombers and cas should do cas only

[spiral crag]

germany and it 1948

[vital geode]

You can demobilize\

You are fine

[spiral crag]

ok

[shell arrow]

i did both so lets see how it works

its going really well

[neat widget]

also don't forget to assign air regions

[vital geode]

You can build mils 10% or 20% slower

[shell arrow]

idk what that is

i think im already further than i was but i need to make sure what happened last time doesnt happen again how can i get supplies to the front line

[neat widget]

waiiiiiiit

[neat widget]

just right click where you want your planes to go

select air base

also what happened to the southern front

[shell arrow]

i did that

not sure

theyre still fighting

[vital geode]

Wait, did you bring in the mountaineers to help out in the North?

[shell arrow]

im already way further idk howe

idk

i rly gotta get supplies going i dont want it to happen again

[vital geode]

Aye, you are doing well

[vital geode]

We don't need supplies if you just keep attacking and keeping the Ethiopians out of place

[shell arrow]

i need to make railways and supply hubs?

[vital geode]

No, you just need to keep attacking and make sure Ethiopia doesn't entrench

You should really select troops to attack Addis Ababa and pin troops (have troops attack the enemy to prevent them from moving)

Then that allows you to go around the enemy

[shell arrow]

bro

can someone please vc

and just tell me how to do this properly

i did an offensive line and yall are saying i need to do other stuff

[vital geode]

I am unavailable, but I can hop in muted

[shell arrow]

ok

[vital geode]

They are pinned

It is a good thing because you can encircle

By having other troops attack at the bottom

The enemy is blocking them

You can hit space to pause

I do really suggest you play the Tutorial

YOu are, you just need more to do as well

Lack of field marshal

Field marshals are generals for your generals

Bottom center

Sandwiching is good as it gives you more stats and gives them penalties

Assoa is empty I think

Red is attacker, and you are attacking

Aye you got a tile

If you want to pause by clicking, click the time. Otherwise you can hit pause

That's good

Here, let me boot up the game with no DLC and try to show what to do

There is a mountaineer guy for Italy

Pink guys in notification

Double click the mountaineers

The guys with the mountains for icons

We are trying to select the mountain guys

Double click the mountaineer icon

[neat widget]

you may be using mountaineers for the rest of the game tbh

so best get used to them now

[vital geode]

Right click the army with 18 divisions

On the portrait

I usually assign the light tanks to the southern front

You can put Messe on the South and the guy with the Mountaineer trait

You can click and drag the right general to be under the field marshal

Messe

Other side of the country

draw along the UK border

Don't forget airforce

Yes

You can learn other aspects later

It is only past like 5 tiles it can get finicky

You can select troops and manually move them with right click

Do that especially with the troops on the northern left

Pause button is your friend

WE TOOK ADDIS ABABA

First ever encirclement pog

submit demands

[neat widget]

nice

Hey, does anyone have tips how to organize the british navy?

[edgy pendant]

Deathstack surface fleet, split off 10 destroyers for patrol, split off subs

[obsidian sand]

Can someone explain to me how to optimise manpower and make the most and best divisions because im 3 plays in and still have no idea of what im doing

[wintry matrix]

Usually tank division take less casualties because of the armor stat, when not pierced.

• Field Hospitals return part of casualties and give some more XP.

I have a conistant bug where my save games load without the UI taskbar at the bottom. Which ruins all my game play, up to that point.

Is there a fix?
How do I report it?

As someone with a background in bug reporting and QA, I wish they'd let me test some of this stuff

[stark bough]

What type of ship is best for support? (Naval invasion)

[vapid heron]

Can anyone help me? I’m tryna naval invade, I’ve got ships on patrol, some on naval invasion support, 12 soldiers put to land on a port, and air wings in the region, but it still shows as I have 0 naval superiority

Can anyone help me

[vapid heron]

Don’t take my word for this as I’m fairly new to naval invasions but I’d js go with a mix of everything, like a carrier destroyers and your screens

All of that

But yh don’t take my word for it

I’ll ask chatGPT

[stark bough]

Ok

[vapid heron]

Destroyers is what it said

Spamming out destroyers apparently provides tons of naval superiority

And if your a bigger power like UK or US, carriers are really helpful

[stuck garnet]

ngl as germany i play spartacus and i don't like playing spartacus cause you have to take prioritize economic growth and like
I wanna do autarky 😭

[thick merlin]

how do i get rid of this stupid coal garbage? this game is already complex enough i dont need it more complex

[winged panther]

just trade

or reduce economy

💀

[thick merlin]

id rather it be removed entirely

[winged panther]

😭

[thick merlin]

should just be an option

[winged panther]

what does it do tho

if u have a deficit

i never bothered to notice

[thick merlin]

slows everything down and id prefer just not to deal with it at all

its no offense to the devs of the game but at least leave it as an optional thing dont enforce it otherwise i know several people that wont want to play the latest version of hoi4 anymore at all and i know about the supposide power update said to come that sounds even more annoying i dont need a grand strategy Foxhole game

@high lava you could invade the Soviet Union

how do I recruit more troops

[left mica]

ah

[neat widget]

That was what happened in the Yan'an incident

Fun fact: Zhang Xueliang lived to see the Twin Towers go boom

But most of his life he spent in captivity in Taiwan

@high lava I think they did well, it's just that they attacked overly aggressively and de-orged too quickly

when you should be holding and going for opportunistic advances in that scenario

Also yeah the air wasn't supporting

@slow finch the western territories don't matter, only owned states matter so if you can concentrate your units in Bavaria

Also if planes don't have the range to cover the air region they can suffer debuffs

Correct

[vale basin]

can someone help me with some base mechanics idk how to do

[neat widget]

how to do what in particular

[vale basin]

How do I recruit and how do I have troops attack

[neat widget]

To recruit troops you go to the deploy tab (if you're unfamiliar with the tabs on the upper right just start clicking each of them in order and you will see what they do)

You press train on the divisions you want to train, select a location for them to deploy, and you can force deploy them or wait until they finish training

congrats, you now have units on the map

to attack, click on those units, select the units you want, and then right click on your enemy

[vale basin]

ah okay ty :)

[neat widget]

My favorite strategy for the German Civil War is to delete all the army, mass recruit the 8-width cavalry, and then start snaking all of their victory points, but this is very micro intensive

cavalry works best if you are sure you can break through the enemy, although it isn't that bad in the role of normal infantry

idk why you can't select more than like 5 states for justification

not like i care much anyways

[fossil imp]

i cant find a concrete source on how carrier stacking was changed how good would several escort carriers set to do not engage agressive strike be?

[neat widget]

Also @slow finch look at your divisions, they are at minimal strength, for now try only to use them against minimal strength enemy units too (since you know you did the AA div strat)

I mean you can deploy them right now

Also you haven't set up your air

Yeah that's just a thing that happens in HOI4 @slow finch

This is why I suggested non-ironman so that you can go back to the beginning of every month

[hasty belfry]

I’m following advice I got here a few days ago of using the additional 3.2 width left in what would normally be a 12/4 36 width after the reduction of artillery width from the fire concentration sub doctrine to fit a tank in it. Would a tank destroyer battalion work since I already have more than enough soft attack?

Hello, I wanted help with the border wars in China. Specifically as Shangdong, what are good templates to win the border wars, and should you do the entire warlord focus tree or proclaim rival government fast?

Or is it just much easier to do the cooperate with China path and take over leadership like that?

[neat widget]

?????????

why

if anything jungle and forest would be the same because jungle and forest are the same combat width

anything for victory

also that's the best support doctrine for infantry and space marines imo

You probably forgot to tell them where to deploy, can never go wrong by deploying them next to your capital

[pliant condor]

your subdoctrine choice has nothing to do with doctrine choice

no it's the best for gbp special forces

also yeah what topazand said

but assult infantry is usually the best

Is there a guide to the new Philippines gameplay?

[stark bough]

Guys, I'm playing as Hungary, and every country I declare war on and that capitulates is automatically annexed. There's no peace conference for me to decide if I want to create a puppet, it's simply annexation automatically. What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

[thin zealot]

Are they in a faction? If so, you will get a peace conference once you defeat everyone in it

[pliant condor]

you need to click the naval base

also those divs are last stood

[devout zodiac]

Yo, guys. What's the deal with these damn red lines all over the Pacific? I'm playing as Japan and I can't land anywhere because of them, can't get sea control either... I've got a massive fleet, plus a separate task force with patrol ships (light cruisers with 57 surface detection).

How do I get rid of these red lines and what are they anyway? For the record, I didn't blockade the region.

[stark bough]

hell

[pliant condor]

click on your task force

click automatic assignment of the home base

you crop out the screenshot so it's not in there

but there's a button you can click

then they will get range if they use the pacific islands as home base

[pliant condor]

it's on the left of this

[devout zodiac]

Thank you very much, everything successfully found!! But there is another question, and can they somehow increase the range? Does base level affect the range or efficiency of the task?

[thin zealot]

Underway replenishment special project if you have Götterdämmerung, just eats up a lot of convoys

[devout zodiac]

Yes. i have

thanq ❤️

[sinful vessel]

Just starting with Italy, is it easy to not ally with Germany while fighting the same target ?

[pliant condor]

what helps you the most on the spot is to split off the ships with lowest range

like destroyers

[devout zodiac]

I think it’s risky, the battleships and aircraft carriers will not have security... or am I wrong?

[bleak plinth]

which one gives me manpower?

[devout zodiac]

Guys, one more question about the fleet. I have chosen my operational connection and assigned it to three regions, and the superiority is held in only one. Why? I have 118 ships with a line fleet, it can hold only one region?

[bleak plinth]

if i have a NAP with a nation but they gurantee a country if i declare war on the country they're guranteeing will they declare war on me?

[cold bloom]

I believe so

[glacial steeple]

yes but itll cost them pp

[kindred sonnet]

So how is navy meta now? Kinda a very new noob to the game and heard the changes nerfed navy a lot and make it harder in respect to supply and such. So whats the strat now?

[radiant sluice]

if there is anyone just dm me

[fiery heart]

Is 36width good for china early gun which a 31000 gun deficit??

[carmine herald]

hi so i turned dlcs off but im still struggling with the italy tutorial lol

[cold bloom]

What specifically?

[carmine herald]

icl i gave up on the 2nd italo ethiopian war and just started playing usa

idrk what to do here either but

😭

like no idea what national focus is optimal

[cold bloom]

USA just does nothing much at game start

theyre strong but wouldnt recommend

[carmine herald]

so i'm just supposed to place civ factories and farm?

[cold bloom]

You could do some smaller country that can then be carried by its faction, idk, pro-Allies Sweden

[carmine herald]

yeah i have like no idea how to even do early game or anything

[cold bloom]

Or you could play stronk Germany and set UK to go pro-Axis

[cold bloom]

Most countries people spam civilian factories until 1938, then go full military factories

[carmine herald]

u want to place all military factories you can at the start too though, right?

like i have 10/10 mil factories running atm

and also construction on max civ

[cold bloom]

Yeh always have factories assigned to something

[carmine herald]

so like until 1938 i just let it run for a bit?

except like research and national focus

what national focus is best to go with anyway on usa

[mental spindle]

Why is this game so hard to understand, even with tutorials?

[carmine herald]

paradox 😔

i got the same issue

[mental spindle]

I watched like 3, 1 hour long Tutorials and still have no clue why Ethiopia is able to defeat me 😭

[cold bloom]

Theres just a lot of tricks which a tutorial can hardly explain, easier to just play

[carmine herald]

also i watched a video that mentioned new deal is really good

should ijust be going w new deal

[mental spindle]

Hard thing to do if I don't know how to play which the Tutorials are supposed to teach

[cold bloom]

Yeh but I wouldnt play US as tutorial imo

[mental spindle]

It's like getting explained how an Airplane works on paper and then someone puts you in the airplane and expects you to fly that thing by yourself

[carmine herald]

ok so germany or sweden?

[cold bloom]

I think those should work, you can go wild and see what works as Germany, or let others carry you as Sweden

[carmine herald]

ill go w sweden for a bit

because i literally have no idea how to wage war

[covert thicket]

Every tutorial I search on YouTube it shows the divisions not locked

Why is it locked

[carmine herald]

also should i always go into construction/basic machine tools and electrical engineering for research

[carmine herald]

what do i do after placing all civ factories, putting military factories to work, selecting research and choosing a national focus? just wait?

[plucky otter]

Because that div template is locked

Some are locked such as that one

Which prevents deleting and editing the unit

[covert thicket]

So I ja gotta stick w that

[plucky otter]

Use a different unit

What country are you

I see that your germany

[sour mountain]

PLEASEW TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS MESS IL EVEN USE COMMANDS idc

[plucky otter]

Germany starts with a basic, 18w infantry division with support artillery and support engineer

[plucky otter]

one thing you should fix is putting your units over a field marshal

[covert thicket]

How?

I swear hoi4 is genuinely so confusing

[plucky otter]

Germany starts with this unit

[carmine herald]

i have no idea what im supposed to be doing as sweden after doing all that 🙏

[plucky otter]

this is your basic infantry

For basic pushing and really great at holding

[cold bloom]

Yeh just do focus tree to join Allies, can send your units to end in their territory

[sour mountain]

just tell me

[covert thicket]

Ohhhh

[sour mountain]

how to fix THOSE BORDERS

[plucky otter]

You will have to live with them

[sour mountain]

😭

[plucky otter]

Your not even using a field marshal on your army

[carmine herald]

idk how? is it nordic council?

[plucky otter]

Field marshal is literally free stats and makes front lines way easier to manage

[sour mountain]

uh

how do i do that

[plucky otter]

Shift click on of your armys

[sour mountain]

mhm

arent these field marshals tho

[plucky otter]

Then click this

You click on an army then click on the field marshal icon

[plucky otter]

The field marshals are different from generals

But are also sorta the same

[untold lark]

how do i send my troops to other generals

[cold bloom]

One of the democratic paths, not sure which by heart

[untold lark]

27/24 isnt good

[carmine herald]

i cant do nordic council tho

[cold bloom]

Click general->Click one unit in his assigned units list->Hold shift and click another 2->Right click on a different general to reassign

[cold bloom]

Thats not it, dw

[carmine herald]

ah allrighty

urbanization id assume?

[untold lark]

now the different general has 26/24

ok

its finallyy balanced

[carmine herald]

ouh its 2nd industrial revolution

how do i change my foreign policy sigh

cant join factions

[fiery heart]

Whats t@carmine herald

Sorry miss pin

Whats the best tip for china going industrial early or military focus and army as well need tips for army

[sleek remnant]

I had few questions:
is Japan stronger after the update?
Is china war easier for Japan after the update? And how does enabling vs disabling the dlc affect it (since warlords are even more shattered with the dlc, and new focuses for china)

[wet topaz]

Japan is def stronger now. And yes, China war is much easier now (assuming you do it right though)

You want to the the focus so the war starts in Jan 37 asap

If you do that you can easily cap China by July 37, although you’d probably want to wait to get total mobilization, closed economy, and 3 collab governments

Last question, idrk probably about the same

[wet topaz]

Haven’t played the China yet but I assume it’ll be like before: grab mills and try to conquer as much as possible

I think militia for China is good, although I could be wrong

Militia kinda broken for early game with the new doctrines

[glacial steeple]

its easier if you cap warlords harder if u dont

weaker start industry stronger everything else

[wet topaz]

Yeah, and you also don’t have Marco Polo bridge to deal with as Japan (-60% attack at start)

Which is a good change

[wet topaz]

Casey how good are militia now

[fluid wharf]

If ur communist very op

If u arnt slightly op

[wet topaz]

Should ussr and stuff be going them too?

Yeah cuz I saw the doctrines and stuff and they looked super good

[fluid wharf]

well ussr cant

because they dont get irregualrs or militias

very few countries get them in vanilla

[carmine herald]

i am still so confused

[cold bloom]

What exactly/

[carmine herald]

i have no idea whats going on lol

ive gottan to the gosta bus thingy

as national focus

and research im doing dispersed 2, mechanical computing and construction 2 rn

ive been placing a lot of civ factories

but idek if im progressing properly

[cold bloom]

Just dont do them ahead of time and those are the focuses to focus on

[carmine herald]

dispersed 2 was ahead of time

[cold bloom]

You can use the stockpile screen to determine what equipment for your land troops you need

[carmine herald]

erm

[mint epoch]

hey

how do i get the good spanish focus tree

[cold bloom]

La Resistance DLC

[carmine herald]

whats the stockpile screen lol

[mint epoch]

how the hell do i get that gang

[cold bloom]

Rightmost tab at the top left

And when you got equipment to spare you can train new units, usually until a few months before the war where you want to save some to make up for losses

[carmine herald]

officer corps?

[cold bloom]

Its now attached to doctrine so not sure

[mint epoch]

where do i gte la resistancia dlc guys

[cold bloom]

Steam?

[mint epoch]

yeah but like where do i search for it in steam

[glacial steeple]

mmmmm reinforce rate

mmm capture ratio

[cold bloom]

Easiest is to go to the page of HOI first and then go down the page

[carmine herald]

oh is it logistics

[cold bloom]

yup

[carmine herald]

stockpile bar is on liek 50%

probably bcs i dont build plans, artillery or anything

only 3 military factories atm

i have 32 extraconvoys tho

so i switched the dock working on that into subs

[cold bloom]

Planes are really strong but if youre just starting and playing a supporting country Id just ignore them personally

Some people give me hate for that because planes are quite strong, but its probably more chill to just focus on land units for now

[carmine herald]

i removed 1 factory from infantry equipment to artillery

bcs i have 765 extra infantry equipment

and -66 artillery

[cold bloom]

Just dont delete production lines youll need again soon because they gain efficiency over time

[carmine herald]

i didn't delete it yeah

i reduced it by one

[cold bloom]

With planes/tanks it probably isnt so bad as the starting ones are pretty shitty

[carmine herald]

i remember seeing smt about deleting it being bad on yt

[quasi dagger]

i dont understand how im not pushing?

[carmine herald]

oh im running out of fuel

should i be trading for oil?

wait tf is using oil

oh my navy

should i be trading for oil?

[cold bloom]

No need in peacetime

[sleek remnant]

Yea I don’t have the dlc and I capped china at 2 collabs (before dlc I got 3 collabs normally)
I think it’s better to stall

Idk if occupation or collab government is better tho

How does the new occupation law affect it? I don’t remember if it stays after war though

[sleek remnant]

So it’s easier to actually bother with them instead of ignoring all except the main china?

Also sometimes china capitulation threshold is %0, sometimes %10 and I think rarely %20 (no collabs) is there anything that affects it? I don’t have the dlc if that matters

[elder solstice]

how do i get supplys to the front lines down in ethipoia

[pliant condor]

in the peacedeal, release as many puppets as you could(except ethiopia)

[elder solstice]

but in need to get some to these troops so i can win the push

[wet topaz]

It’s basically a better harsh quotas

It combines force labor Resourses extraction with factory bonuses from harsh quotas

But, don’t use it on China unless you want to lose all your compliance

[wet topaz]

It does stay after war

[glacial steeple]

i mean you delete armies and get gun stockpile

[wet topaz]

But you should always annex China, puppets suck

[glacial steeple]

you should puppet then annex china tho

if u do that

[pliant condor]

ah fly your CAS

then you would push

[glacial steeple]

waste some time and 300 pp to get compliance

[pliant condor]

also right click your divisions onto the tiles if they are not pushing

[pliant condor]

if the date is anything later than may 1936 you might just wanna restart

[sinful vessel]

How do i increase this ?

[sleek remnant]

Didn't it give decent compliance or do I remember wrong

[sleek remnant]

Puppet then annex or Collab government then annex?
Actually is there any difference?

[solemn nova]

Hey do Infantry bonuses apply to militia?

[severe lichen]

Anyone know to get go ahead macau my day

[lunar spoke]

no iirc

[solemn nova]

Ah, ok

[lunar spoke]

as portugal you have to get the collab gov in china via 80% comp then defeat china and give the chinese territories to your macau puppet

i forgor if you need hong kong

[sleek remnant]

Did they change the odds of getting brilliant strategist and inflexible strategist at the same time? I've gotten 2 very recently while never got (I think) before in my +1.1k hours

[analog maple]

is it possible to increase my airframes range without researching a new generation?

[wintry matrix]

Add extra fuel tanks or drop tanks.
Without DLC simply click the modification button and add range.

[analog maple]

ty

[wet topaz]

It has the the compliance loss as harsh quotas

[quasi dagger]

what are some good infantry for germany (like templates)

[pliant condor]

puppet then annex

this is an exploit where in the peacedeal you take war reps

but the war reps stay after you annex

so you get double the civs

[glacial steeple]

leg inf bonuses yes inf inf bonuses no

[glacial steeple]

either

gotta puppet through event tho cuz you dont actually get full compliance on all states

so you wont have the decision

[wet topaz]

I didn’t know that

R they fixing that

[hasty belfry]

The division effortlessly smacks anything that isn’t a medium tank or heavy tank aside.

[glacial steeple]

no

[stuck garnet]

Can i see your losses?

[glacial steeple]

i mean if you dont wanna exploit just make collab

then annex collab

either is fine tho

itll give you full compliance

[hasty belfry]

It might not be the most efficient in the world but especially with new doctrine buffs it is still a force to be reckoned with, and a force that can be fielded army wide.

[stuck garnet]

How many divisions does this template make up of?

[hasty belfry]

As of late, my entire army save port guards.

[wet topaz]

They made line arty good now

[hasty belfry]

And nerfed support arty.

[wet topaz]

Ironically lmao

[hasty belfry]

And special forces.

[wet topaz]

Inverted it

[stuck garnet]

💔

IGRAJ IGRAJ IGRAJ OPA🇧🇦

[hasty belfry]

They reduced the buff per arty tech for support arty from 10% to 5%.

Line artillery still gets the 10%.

There’s also always been the 2nd proxy fuse tech giving 20% attack buff to line arty and only 10% to support artillery.

[stuck garnet]

I get why cause support arty feels like a must-have for your divs, especially early

[past dawn]

someone please help me not turn this into ww1 2.0

i cant break through them

oh yea theres also this

[tribal skiff]

What's this: I have an "Out of Fuel" icon in the notifications, even though I am not out of fuel? I am currently using only my volunteers in Spain (2 armor, 1 mot, 1 mountaineer div, just the starting templates). I also have one fighter wing and one CAS there doing their stuff. The tooltip on this icon says "Need oil (17.00)". Surely, this can't be right? I don't think I've seen that icon before...

[misty wagon]

i jus bought the game

what do i dio

Is it better to puppet South American nations as Argentina until you do the the unification or just annex?

Help me 😭

[feral forge]

for a support flame tank which stats do I want to get high?

[livid cedar]

is it rare for austria not submit to germany's demands?

[tribal skiff]

I am really struggling with what to choose as my Armor sub-doctrine... they all seem pretty good, but they're highly dependant on what kind of equipment you build and use in your templates: armored signals, heavy tanks, light armored recon, armored recon, mechanized infantry etc. So choosing doctrines determine what you build and use, makes sense of course, and it gives a reason to build some stuff you'd otherwise never build.

[mystic otter]

Depends if they're in alliances or guaranteed

[livid cedar]

what if they arent? they werent my last 2 games and always did not accept

[mystic otter]

Weird if you meet the requirements for the anchulls they should accept
Idk if there is a focus/decision austria that make them resist
But in my game when they resist and i declare war they mostly always end up in a civil war

[livid cedar]

ah okay

thanks
