ashould i do this

#

should i brign back my fighters then and bring CAS

#

I think things are not desperate. Send more troop to your south front. You can send your troops settled in Italy. I don't know when, but the Aoussa Emirate will surrender, giving you a supply hub.

I have naval dominance so why can’t I send my troops overseas

Why does the game not mention it 🥀

#

My general have waited more then 50 days, so its 'gauge" is full. Yours should be mainly red

Nah I don’t even have that thing

#

Oh wait

#

you have these ?

viscid abyss
#

Naval invasion order

#

I see it thanks

#

The last time I tried it I couldn’t get it to work so just used paratroopers, didn’t notice the naval invasion button

sinful vessel
#

you should see how many divisions are affected

viscid abyss
#

Is there a reason why it’s a specific number

#

Due to the number of convoys?

misty wagon
#

how do i get rid of thjis stupid dvision thing i made

sinful vessel
#

6 divisions max per invasion (at the start of the game at least)

viscid abyss
#

Ah

#

Its may 1940 already and now im waiting 50 days to invade Norway

#

Should I just ignore it and invade France

sinful vessel
viscid abyss
#

Or does it not really matter

#

I may aswell wait

sinful vessel
#

You may be abble to do both. Benelux and France should be fast with a good offensive army

sinful vessel

#

I suppose

But I moved my tanks mainly to Denmark in order to invade Norway

anti-tank guns on CAS aren't particularly more useful than bombs

but for the fighter guns question cas-navs do exist and you can try running bombs as main armament + hmgs as secondary

does anyone know how to do well in peace conferences. I have like 80% of the war score, but somehow my ally which is an AI always contests me on the land, and ends up going many rounds until I run out of points. And then when the peace conference is over I end up with very little, and the ai ally, which had much less war score than me, somehow gets the majority of the land.

# pliant condor try to not have allies

But I want to be at least somewhat historical. So as Germany, would it be better not to have Italy join in the battle of France but rather have it join the war right before operation sea lion commences

How do I do the collaboration government mission to increase compliance?

It says I need an intel network, but I can't do that on my territory

# misty wagon are these recruitments good guys?

With the add unit button you can train multiple units in parallel. So you'd just need one infantry line but with multiple units.

I haven't played Germany yet, only Italy, but you probably should train a lot more units in parallel (like 20-30? I do 12 or 24 with Italy). If your units are ready earlier, that means more time to exercise and reach lvl 3 before war.

#

No idea about the unit composition since I only used Infantry with Arty so far because Italy industrial base is shit

pliant condor
#

not on your own territory

#

although there is a way for it to work on your own territory

what does equipment conversion exactly do? i never do the research because it seems a waste of a research slot but it may be important

#

i tried doing the research and converting my equipments but it shows i won't be producing any equipment of that category because I'm not consuming resources, i am confuse lol

ionic ferry
#

the hell happened with the navy did they change how it works completely??

pliant condor
#

e.g. when you cap china with full collab, you get the compliance on taiwan as well as japan

pliant condor
#

you need to pay 90% of the chassis cost without any conversion tech and each one lowers it by 40%

iron harness
#

i took that image from google since I'm on bed

pliant condor
#

this is exactly why you convert

#

it saves resources

#

in fact this is an established method

#

due to paradox funny math

#

the resource cost per factory of converting is the difference in resource cost between the base and the final design

sacred ginkgo
#

is there going to be a new guide for the doctrines?

iron harness
sacred ginkgo
#

It feels a little confusing now, or perhaps i have been too used to the old trees

pliant condor
#

it's just that paradox don't understand basic math

#

that they tie resource cost to factory, not IC

iron harness
#

haha thanks i get it now

#

sounds like an exploit or is it? lol

pliant condor
#

or well it's part of vanilla

#

that counteracts with the crazy resource costs of stuff

iron harness
#

i hope pdx fix this, i didn't want to do it because it didn't make sense and now i don't want to do it because it's apparently an exploit

#

thanks you're a great help !

pliant condor
#

but it's a good feature

#

to counteract how bad vanilla is designed

#

the fact that paradox didn't place enough resources in the whole world to make producing meaningful amount of anything impossible without constant conversion

#

it's like coal

#

paradox cannot comprehend how players can get massive industry

you don't want to annex stuff without collab

If nation A uses a decision cores all the states of nation B, but nation B is a formable created by a decision after conquering nation C, does nation A get cores on nation C

you get a few cores on southern argentina, and a focus that puts you at war with argentina with a few buggs

#

Do submarines that are spotted by patrol ships keep revealed during a battle or does the quick response strike force needs its own spotting average to keep engaging them?

pliant condor
#

then it use the normal mechanic of spotting

tiny bough
#

hmm

pliant condor
#

which against the ai they would always retreat

#

so you reengage them

#

patrol kill subs at a very high rate due to that

tiny bough
#

so depending how close/fast the response fleet is, I may not necessarily need any spotting on the strike force

pliant condor
#

no

#

it doesn't have anything to do with speed

#

they are revealed for 20 hours once they are engaged

pliant condor
#

you don't need any sub detection

#

on your destroyers

tiny bough
#

interesting

#

Thanks

pliant condor
#

in the new version escort seems to also work fine

since they tried so hard to buff destroyers

sour wadi

anyone got a good battleship design?

pliant condor
#

means it's too late

tiny bough
#

lol

sour wadi
#

it was either late or never

pliant condor
#

but just use the highest armor(super heavy armor if you have it), 2 best gun, and fill the rest with dual purpose 3

#

oh if you have dual purpose 3 use that

#

also it's just generally not the best idea to build battleships

#

depending on how much of a fleet you already have

sour wadi
#

ive got none except for a bunch of subs

pliant condor
#

ok then definitely should not be building battleships

#

build the best light cruiser you have

#

is steel an issue?

sour wadi
#

chromium is

sour wadi
#

ive secured the america's

pliant condor
#

which doesn't start with cruiser

pliant condor
sour wadi
#

i have 140 dockyards

pliant condor
#

ok then build whatever you like lol

#

just fill it with the best armor and with guns/secondary

sour wadi
#

i could take cuba

pliant condor
#

good news is that ai will keep building trash ships even into the 50s

#

so you have plenty of time

#

all you need to build is light cruiser and battleship

sour wadi

good

#

exactly what im making

pliant condor
#

you could have gotten shbb if you had naval facility

sour wadi
#

got fleet subs, making shbb

pliant condor
#

yeah it's the best ship

#

you don't want too many battery on it

#

2 is enough

#

or at most 3

#

fill up the rest with secondary guns

#

they have great value for those

Hello! Trying to get into the game, playing as Italy

#

The campaign for Ethiopia has given me two major issues, aside from some of my armies simply opting to not advance to the offensive line.

#

One: constant supply shortages. I have no clue how to get supplies to the frontline troops, as it seems supply hubs take several years to build and my troops are starved and short on resources

analog maple
#

is it possible to paratrooper snipe italy?

Two: rebellion keeps brewing in the areas ive occupied and I have no idea how the garrison system works. A bunch of stuff tells me I need horses to uphold garrisons, but I have no idea what a garrison is or how to get horses to the Ethiopian one

# sleek falcon Hello! Trying to get into the game, playing as Italy

Send all your divisions from italy to Ethiopia. Mountaineers and 2 inf to north, rest south. Ideally do this manually (send troops to nearest harbor then to ethiopia) because the AI will let your troops wander through italy instead of boarding from next harbor.

Put both armies with commanders in an army group to get field marshal bonus.

Send 200 planes to south Ethiopia, rest to north. Attach the planes to the respective generals.

Draw each battle plan to addis abeba. Change to aggressive execution.

While conquering build a railway to addis abbeba or the supply hub east of it. Depending on what you reach faster. Don't forget to put the railway into your top building slot, otherwise nothing happens.

Click execute plans and watch Ethiopia crumble under Italian boots

That's how I understood to do frontlines and all that

#

They never mentioned dragging my troops after I've drawn the offensive and front lines

frontline leftclick means all selected border

sleek falcon
#

Is that not good?

rustic acorn
#

click right and drag for a certain part of that frontline

sleek falcon
#

Imma have to start writing this down lol

#

Appreciate all the help

#

However, what should I do with the resistance?

rustic acorn
#

supress 🙂

sleek falcon
rustic acorn
#

create a guard unit with military police

#

like an inf unit

#

under your flag in the upper left side you can manage your subjects

#

there you can choose which unit guards

#

also you can choose what level of supression you want

sleek falcon
#

Then just put that template in production and mail it to Ethiopia?

#

I did fall back, but what to do now? germany will capitulate and then I will have 1 vs 4 divisions or something.

You don't have to produce garrison troops. It happens automatically as long as you have the equipment

winged panther
#

u can release that entire area as a puppet

#

italian east africa

#

so you dont have to worry about it anymore

fading fern
#

Yea, that also secures 5 rubber if you add the resource option to the puppet at the peace conference

fading fern
#

Otherwise the amount of rubber you get is dependent on compliance/resistance

winged panther
#

i mean

#

not only ethiopia as a puppet

rustic acorn
#

I think he talk about that focus story, where you need to get some suppression goals

rustic acorn
#

you need to get control very quick, didnt try it myself

winged panther
rustic acorn
#

after you conquered ethopia with Italy you still need to fulfill some goals concerning the supression and stuff

#

not focus, I am wrong

winged panther
#

you dont need to complete that

#

if you click the event

#

establish africane orientale italienne or sum shi like thast

generally how does war work in this game i made the italian republic and thought i made pretty good preperations buuut i lost aswell as when i did it on germany like make a democratic rebellion also just in generel attacking countries i have it hard just taking ethiopa

how does trade work? i dont understand it

id suggest watch tutorials

which can be extracted

you need these resources to produce guns, planes, ships and other stuff

if u dont have it

u can trade 8 units of a material for 1 civilian factory

#

via trade

#

you can not build any building for rasing res, but you can forge some excarvation techs to improve

#

only building rasing is a refinery, gives you oil and gum

#

the amount depends on what you have researched in that field

winged panther
#

for example south east easia has a lot of rubber

rustic acorn
#

right

#

you can imp that by building infrastructure

winged panther
#

if u want to increase the number of that resource produced in ur own state, add infrastructure to it

#

yeah

#

but u cant create resources out of nothing

rustic acorn
#

nope, not in general

#

only building is refinrey

winged panther
#

for fuel and rubber

rustic acorn
#

doesnt add it on map, but in production

#

oil and rubber

#

and in that way fuel

#

but you can not add anything else

no coal or steel or oro ro

You can run on 4 or 5 speed for the focusses and army training.
There is no issue in that. The waiting game isn't the issue.
I know DR lacks manpower, but try to make your units at least a 10w and support artillery and getting like at least 4 divisions.
Train them and you should be able to deal with Haiti.

Realistically you won't be able to get sth built on time.

Get your military factories from your focus tree.
And another civ to import iron for your weapons.
Produce all guns and one on artillery.
