If you're Germany, get Ribbentrop and some faction goals which quicken Justifying?
Me?
No, I'm Italy...
Uhh
I'm about to defeat the Germans tho
And I better get good victory points.
They quite literally don’t have room for 50 factories in their country
they have. there are 2 states in the country now
i mean like you cant justify early bcs of world tension and requierements
Your spies are lying to you?😁
Are u sure ur using vanilla?
But yeah, so no third SF branch for Germany, is that it?
yes
Fascism/communism
Ignores world tension
even ironman
I don’t remember this wtf
finally i can start going down the political tree
what do i do now
you went fascism?
or like how
different game rules
justifications arent tension locked
@glacial steeple since when does Tuva have this
no thats a mod
how
So I’m not crazy
you are but its unrelated
for this btw
3.9 million extra core pop
when the current core pop is 5.4 mil
can someone explain this
is it by design that as the USA I am limited to using my own naval supply hubs only and have zero access to the Allies ones? It kinda doesnt make sense why I shouldnt be able to support the Allies in Africa and Dday with navy
it wasn't
because devs need to update them for new version
No, not a single mod works in any version for me.
I've reinstalled (multiple times)
verified files
have you tried the major modds like kaiserrreich or road 56?
as shown in the picture but it didnt work too
read what they do
i did patrol before trying strike force, it wont even let me do the mission
it says out of range
"no accesible regions"
some modders work with the official devs, i don't know if millenium does but i'm 99% sure that road does
i keep trying to do holy roman empire and uk is declining to carve the congo pls help
try unblocking the channel
i didnt manually block it but maybe something blocked it for me
lemme load in and try that
are you playing vichy?
I’m the Roman Empire (Italy)
oh
How do I finish the UK?
I've paradropped and funneled around 50 divisions into 1 port close to London. I am getting constantly attacked. I am holding but the uk has probably 100 divisions right there. I cannot push and I do not have air superiority to paradrop again. I do not have the navy to beat the UK and I do not have nukes. (1940) I tried using a ton of cas, but cas just doesn't work.
I have the same issue.
Lads where do my convoys go after being produced I can't find em
My entire fleet just up and disappeared
All my carriers, battleships, etc.
What's weird is they still exist.
They just also don't.
They're winning battles where they were assigned.
Okay I clicked the right number of buttons and it popped back into existence.
navy
bad
Heavy cannon or basic high velocity cannon
with that reliability the tank will explode with the wrong amount of exhale from the user
You need 95-100% reliability. 90% if you can produce a lot.
get your armor and engine down
Use a diesel engine
thats what i do
this is what i use in 39
then i upgrade to a close support cannon
i am going against expert ai on challenging though not ai
with the close support gun
then you cant spare any production that means lower your engine and armor
its outdated with the current meta spg is better
current meta is soft attack go brrr
well it is still pretty good
oh yeah
and pretty good for after france
there but which cannon is better
id add the maintenance thing andf change diesel to default
Reliability still too low
you dont need it
Reliability isn't real
you just need it if you attrition a lot
which you kind of should be doing with exercising troops for mastery
but you dont do that with your main tank
heavy cannon 1 💔
spg is 20% cheaper than normal tank
40% cheaper if you do light
İt aldo gives like a boost to soft attack right
yeah but its also same width used as normal tank now
which is good
its a fixed 40 per batallion
what chassis is it on?
so if you have the same cost on design it is the same cost in div
assuming you use spg/td
thats not the case for normal tanks
which are 60-50-40
jsyk hard attack is useless in singleplyaer
you only want soft atk so you only use secondary HMG and automatic gun/close support gun/howitzer
armor is also not required on medium tanks and a pure waste on heavy tanks in singleplyaer
Its against competent expert ai though
and I wanna get used to it to get better at multiplayer
well then only use heavy canon 2 and 3 and high velocity 3 as heavy armament
and use medium canon 2 as medium armament
you can also do heavy TDs but it'll cost a lot
Will the uk ai try to launch a naval invasion into occupied France
I have historical mode on
can someone help me with navy
uuuhhh
its okay
idk why youd ever do that as germany
but itll work
i mean i just punched through poland and france with it
Why anti tank?
i have like 300 mil factories
Probably remove artillery
Could be making something better like flame tanks
how do i stop trotsky from dying when playing mexico?
Is there anything special to know when designing a battlecruiser while playing PvO?
I came by here a bit ago to ask for some help fighting Ethiopia as italy, and someone told me to build rails to supply points
this is my response
the only two supply points are all the way in the center of ethiopia
You can literally battleplan
Set up a frontline and click go essentially and you can cap them
You don’t really need supply because they don’t have it either
issue is my troops never advanced in my last attempt
they were always "too disorganized"
oh
have tacs bomb supplies and mils
like assigning them to an army for air superiority and close air support?
how's this?
what to produce its 1941 i want to build ships so that i can invade uk playing as soviet union btw
Manually select the troops and tell them to move
welp, staring over for the third time I guess
click and drag left click over the area which will select the troops
You told them to advance to a certain line and they did for the most part
You just need to manually tell troops to attack
You can click and drag over an area to select troops
You can then right click and tell them to attack
ok new question, how do I see the names of provinces?
cause the game keeps telling me to take provinces I can't see
where are these
Zoom in lots so minor VPs show too
Or maybe use the search function in the bottom right
oh they're the cities
yeah I'm starting over
shot waaaaaaaaaaaay past my intended target
Provinces are tiles yeh
States are the larger unit, what would be a province in some languages
Playing with the current version with all DLC .... I have two fleets on patrol in the south china sea. I am not at war currently having recently taking out China and puppeted china's factions. Why is not naval dominance increasing in this sea zone ...
I puppeted Panama canal and japan puppeted regular panama, they control the canal not me, is this bc of an event or something? Or just a bug?
I won't lie I miss the MA-R infantry doom stack. Are we able to create something similar with the current doctrine system?
yeah
especially as prc you have insane inf
you drew the offensive line too short
once ur troops push and reach till where u drew the offensive line
they usually stop
and also set ur battleplan to aggresive
ok but when I last did that they just stopped dead after a bit
wdym
do I need to like push them onwards by giving one direct order every now and then?
I set both lines up against eachother, like a pincer attack, but both sides wouldn't do anything
u have the ss now?
once thye reached that point, was ur offensive line finished?
I'm not in the game anymore
playing games with a friend
nope, they weren't even close
that was today
I played a few days ago and set the offensive lines right at the middle of Ethiopia
so each army would handle one half of the country
oh and the thing is
sometimes
the army doesnt push
because if it does
it overextends
i can see u have very few troops
if u call every troop, even from ur homeland
they're the ones provided in 1936
thats going to be good enoug
oh right
yeah but i think ur attacking only with the troops
no domestic wars
currently
present
in the area
there will be more troops in ur homeland
mainland italy
bring them too
once u get all of them
I'm operating from Civ conceps of getting attacked at any moment, so I need to have boys home
?
How good is line AT for an infantry only run for nations not economically strong enough to field many tanks?
In Civ 6 anyone can declare war on you at any moment so you need to have some troops at home
Ohhh
no it isnt like that
yeah someone told me
in hoi4 u usually have an idea of whats going to happen usually
no one attacks ital
italy
I just forgot
no MP
Are space marines still good for singleplayer?
how can one make a defensive SPA divsion? in MP
Ty for the reply but isn't this just limited to mao? Or are other countries able to get militia units?
Someone can help me? i watched a lot of guides and i cant learn this game
So with the new naval dominance system say I have 55% dominance and the rest of the bar is red, does that mean my opponent has 45% or it just doesnt work that way?
What's your current skill level
Are we dying to Poland or are we stuck in Benelux
Honestly, I just look to see if the sea tile is blue or red
If it is red, it probably is bad for you
Well yeah lol I get that
You can probably hover over the sea tile in naval mode and it should tell
It does break down who has naval dominance
And how much
I had a weird thing where I got naval invaded but when I checked the sea zone I was at 55% dominance. I know they only need to be above the threshold for a second to launch the invasion, but i only had subs in that sea zone so im dont think I could've gone from under 40% to 55% in the short time it took between them launching and me checking
And they still had about 30 ships in that zone as well
But im wondering if that means my screen could show im at 50%, but for my opponent, they could be above the threshold at the same time? Or does it always add up to 100%
It should be same number of dominance for everyone. 60% for you should be 40% for them
If you have subs convoy raiding, it might decrease their gains by the time you noticed
Yeah thats what I thought originally
Or they had a strike force suddenly multiply their dominance
If u move a strike force out of the zone though does dominance it adds automatically drop to 0? I thought it still ticked down overtime?
I just know strike force is multiplicative
I had 3 convoy raider and 1 patrol made of cruiser subs, but other saves while doing that the most I've ever gotten was like 15%. I guess its not impossible but confused if maybe Im just not understanding the system
Cruiser and sub combo sounds wacky
Well i only do it so the cruisers attack normal ships as well. Once they have low enough visibility they can take out ships pretty well
My patrol force (as the US) was an escort carrier, a heavy cruiser with floatplanes and a depth charges, and seaplane tenders with depth charges/normal destroyers
Everything else was early or basic subs
So about 10-15 ships
Sometimes I had a light attack light cruiser
Subs provide low dominance, so not great at patrolling usually
Maybe a cruiser subs with planes
I may have wiped the Japanese fleet with 8 of these and my main pacific fleet
Yeah well thats y im confused about the naval invasion lol, they shouldn't have been able to tick up dominance so high,
I have a regular fleet as well but it was active in different sea zones
Yeah, if subs and a few cruisers are all you have to build supremacy, it won't be a lot
If the enemy has 1 capital patrolling, it will have a lot of gains much quicker than you
It was cruiser subs not cruiser ships
Oh
It was just my sub fleet
Yeah, it wasnt for dominance i had a pretty big fleet somewhere else that was pretty standard some of every ship type
Did you know sea lion is easy when you have the entire kriegsmarine surface fleet patrolling the channel
I lost german civil war
never battle poland
and struggle in ethiopian war
So we arent microing it seems
Will this"Restructuring our debt" decision lead to another decision where I can fully get rid of the debt?
Or will I be stuck with half of it?
i dont know how to do that
i get it basic things
tech and research
focus tree
the UI in general
i dont understand army and micro
Microing is selecting troops and telling them to go somewhere
Like you can click and drag an area and everything in the box you make is selected
Right clicking and shift right clicking allows you to tell troops to go somewhere
Shift right clicking queues a path
whats the difference between a SHBS and a Modern Battleship?
I start winning the civil war in Germany, but then they turn things around and defeat me
i did it, i look for guides in the german civil war
like machiavellian
You probably dont handle ai force concentration well
but i cant replicate
And when the AI makes a breakthrough, you just watch it happen and do nothing
i defeat the south and get smacked in north
yesss, and get encircled by they
sorry for my english
Well yeah, both sides are relatively even.
What you can do is try to split the nazis in 2 and push for Berlin
Hey there, so I am playing as Germany and I already did one nuclear strike on Hiroshima but when I try to do the second, it says that I don't have any, I have 219 in my stockpiles and I tried to nuke them again but it still says the same thing, what can I do?
I need to do it so I can end the war, I don't want to waste so much of my manpower and equipment by naval invading.
I took the south, after spliting during the civil war in Germany, but then I lost the north.
idk what but im so bad at the game
They made the civil war harder
But you need to encircle and destroy units
And not tunnel vision
idk how i didnt win ethiopian
quick
i thought it was just about pushing the troops
It is
You need to manually micro troops to pin the ethiopians
And make sure to never stop attacking
Hello im a new player, ive been playing brazil a lot and have started a war with colombia yet i cant even take a single land with more than 60 division and instead get push back when they are outnumbered anyone know why? (Just a reminder i have taken uruguay and paraguay and build railway and supply hub to invade Colombia)
The terrain sucks
Indeed i have been retried brazil 3 times because colombia beat me up
i need to understand about pinning, any guide?
What are your division templates btw
Pinning is attacking troops do they cant move
but what about the red and blue aarrow
to troops not going to tiles
support attack
Ctrl click is support
They will attack but won't move into the tile
That is your blue arrow
Infantry mechanized truck light tank and heavy tank thats for the infantry
For the is just like for example tank divison full tank (heavy and super heavy tank) mechanized infantry full of truck
whsts the currency thing that looks like a chess piece that is used with colonies
Autonomy
If they have enough they will move to a higher level of freedom
If they have 0 u can demote them
didnt work it
did they nerf germany in the update they barely make any advances in barbarossa now
okay thank you
Only applies to battles currently happening
These are not inf divisions and I assume if you have 100 of these, you dont have them fully equipped.
Also if they are huge, they will consume a lot of supply. If they are small, they lack stats (and also the terrain penalties on heavies are awful)
what do support and repair ships do again?
Provides stats to a fleet
I think they are
I think they cost as much as a few convoys
i should watch a video on them
I put 3 dockyards and I got quite a few of them
You dont need that many either from what I can tell
Does anybody have a good Infantey division template and also a good tank division twmplate ? My divisions do good but they aren't stable after some time.
oh my god i just realized im gonna have to fight almost 5000 ships
Is there some kind of super-effective infantry template that allows you to defeat all the bots? Even in the later stages of the game?
And in general, is it correct to use infantry divisions for an attack?
Yeah, its a bit odd.
might be bugged lol
Definitely lol
Tanks
for Operations subdoctrine, Infiltration, Desperate Defence, Deep Battle, or even Rapid Domination are decent alternatives. for Grand Doctrine, Superior Firepower or Mass Assault are also both good.
that combination is just the best for purely attacking.
Template-wise, you can replace support artillery with a breakthroughmaxed flametank or recontank for breakthrough stat, or recon ranger for cheap terrain buffs. Arguably can replace support aa with a line aa to have another slot.
Rush gun ahead of time, never not be researching guns. Most impactful research in the game, and single most important research to dumpstering ai with 0 brainpower. Ai doesnt like ahead of time research so they get high tech guns later which means their infantry are dogwater.
Have more better guns earlier = Win
could just reduce width to 32 and use ranger + flametank and continue turning brain off
Fair
Thanks
its so sad how bad low mp minors are now
imagine not having mastery, couldnt be me
does that even work?
Okay it probably does, but the effect is probably minor
How do I do the Pearl harbor raid successfully?
Do I need to park the naval bomber carrier in the same sea zone as Hawaii?
I have tried it 5 times it always fails for me at medium or high risk setting.
i started my my first campaign as germany and did the civil war and i did not finish it until 1940 so i was i was told that was way to long to finish it, now i restarted it and finished it by august 1937
is that ok iyo?
i mean, if thats the best you can do then sure
ideally youd finish it before the end of 36
you can do so by reaching the czechoslovak border asap and cutting off the bavarian pocket
once that is achieved, the rest of the civil war is a breeze
oh also, delete all your units before the civil war
and the moment it starts, start recruiting proper units
theyre 3x stronger than the civil war militia
but since im assuming youre a beginner, august 37 is fine
definetly better than 1940
apparently
no like thats just how you get mastery no?
How can I win the civil war in the USA by following the path of fascism?
I tried four times, and it didn't work any of those times.
keep your units in the states you keep so theyre not encircled
then use them to hold/push
exploit gaps, divide their units and defeat them in detail
how tf am I out of manpower
i just make the biggest template i have access to, since i want to grind fire support subdoctrine too (at least recently anyway, since i play with frontline AT in my recent games)
your conscription law is too high, youre not even at 10% yet
but they probably died in garrisons
check occupied territories for yearly losses
Child wielding needle, may I see proof of you not spamming 2ws?
that's how it works?
it mobilizes slowly
not instantly
anyway, i feel like youve been losing millions to garrisons
then where did my manpower go
Mass assault or sfp for defending as Soviet Union
taking this much casualties
died
hmm but I have every major annexed except US
you made them die somehow idk
First time i see bicycle division. Are they usefull. If yes, why ?
theyre a bit faster
they however also cost a lot of support equipment
As fast as horses, costs twice as much
Iirc they counted as leg infantry though, unlike horses
Yes, they scale better than horses but you can't use large unit tactics with them so unless you fit them in a special forces build they are not the yellow of the egg as the Germans say
How do I prevent Chinese Soviet Republic from joining Comintern as Kuomintang China?
I read that Soviets won't let them in if I have at least 50 positive opinion with them, is that true?
yeah
uhm i have a problem
game doesnt let me produce medium tanks
i try to add a medium tank everytime but it doesnt let me
if they are like foot infantry, they benefit from their subdoctrine bonuses ?
I may have set myself in a complicated situation with the russian border ? I'm fascist though not allied with Germany.
Yea but again, still expensive asf
so. i suck at this game
but i want to get better.
as helpful as the video based guides are, i would like to see if theres any text based guides? those just seem to work a bit better. plus, i play at work so vids arent really great option anyway
The pinned messages could be a good start
There are text bass guides. However, they are almost always Multiplayer focused, meaning that the country the guide is for has 1 specific purpose only. But if it helps, I can provide you with a Germany guide for a hist mp mod called Total Mobilisation and maybe you can pick up a few things from there. Be warned, it's very advanced
i have a question about yugoslavia, is it better to do devolved croatia or united autonomous croatia (i'm gonna be doing reunite the kingdoms as the end focus)
Also based name and pfp
🤝
Keep Croatia united so they do their industry focuses
devolved gives only 3 militia but 2 puppet states, united gives 4 militia but only 1 puppet state
For some reason, AI will only do industry focuses if they have more than 1 state
i was thinking croatia and dalmatia would be doing their own focuses
Nah
They will be doing other stuff
oh ok
Not industry
they will do industry focuses from 39
you just need to wait
(for the one-states)
Then ask when 💀
yeah sorry my brain is malfunctioning
Ideally before war and when all your puppets have done their focuses
as late as possible within reason
btw if i have the states as puppets will they still produce everything im making for me
like equipment n stuff
theyll have their own tech to produce from
starting techs are NOT based on overlord its just whatever theyre assigned at game start
which often the devs try to have similar to overlord tech
but thats not always the case
i meant will these still be produced for me once the puppets split
in the puppet military factories
click the states to see where your mils are
you keep the mils in your territory
i put most into serbia cause serbia doesnt split until way later and i still keep control of it
yugo is probably a dispersed nation in general
your manpower pool is really small and you dont really need the production conc gives
but having better equipment production first year may matter
especially when reintegrating puppets (0 efficiency mils)
fighting with puppet troops give them autonomy i guess ?
Yep
It counts towards their contributed war score
Will it be easy to lower this autonomy after ?
Nah prob noz
Best practice is to not use anything of the puppet and lendlease them convoys and build mils in them
If you can't annex puppets via decision, event or focus
I'm a bit overextended as Italy here and i need my puppets troop in Ethiopia, where many allied troops are :-/. If i can't annex them, i'll have to declare war to them at some poin,t ^^
what this?
better coal use probably
guys i just got no step back and by blood alone best desin for medium tank and fighter?
See pins
pins?
i usually use it in my furnaces
to smelt iron or like steak
tyy
Genuine question, what combat width is optimal for armor?
i use 35
About the new doctrines, can you switch doctrine late game and keep some bonuses from the previous one?
no
36-38
if i have the old polish border as Italy, will (and if when) russia declare war on me as it does with german ?
It probably wont
As u don't own the land u just control
Though if you own bessarabia you might get an event
I own it. But Germany also just occupy usually ?
Oh shit, then it might become an issue
It'll do it at random if it feels strong enough
So watch out for any justification
My manpower will make the defense quite hard i believe ^^
Well increase conscription
The debuff is bad but better then not having manpower
yes. i just did it. And still have 2 level possible if needed. I just need some time.
Ye don't go up unless necessary
If needed i could defend this line, with mountains and river. And Germany may be in war too when they'll reach their border.
How good are escort carriers?
As far as I can see you do not own Poland.
No. I just have all the russian border, and don't feel confortable with it ^^
Just go kill Russia then
I would prefer kill UK first. At least they have nothing left but Gibraltar in my 'Mare Nostrum'
It's march 40 here, i may have the time.
no
actually yes
but not really
its only for a few specific bonuses
and those arent combat bonuses
guys how do i beat turkiye early as greece it took me until 1941 😭
move around their units, not through their units
the frontline is very hard to breakthrough when the war starts you either have a riverline or islands
Can someone explain to me how people stack so many war justifications? Bolivia = 70 days then I do Peru = 155 days, then I go to do Ecuador = 400 days?!
In older patches you let them naval invade you and keep killing them at the port without taking it.
Or letting them push in the borth and keep encircling them there.
Declare war on Bolivia, then start a new justification.
Don't make a third one before.
Check for political advisors.
If you happen to have a Prince of Twrror advisor, it can reduce the time too.
I must miss smthing, i'm always at the maximum
I started justifying on both already. Should I cancel the second one and redo it?
Use it to change air design templates and get better air doctrines?
You do you.
I assume you're still very in the early game.
You can camcel the 400 day one.
And when you're at war with the first nation, the time to justify should be as big or smaller as the second one.
Does anyone have a Kaiserreich guide for Germany or should I play something easier and if so what
Any advice about the AI not inviting half of europe to war
only do 2 at once
if anyone can tell me how to add mods for none steam and without a paradox account
i will be thankful
where do you play
import the mod files in your mod folder
the mod you are looking for might have a way for you to download it as a file
if they dont then you cant get the mod
💔
how to make playable
you just have to import it into your files and it should be available to play with in your launcher
how to import
with the Paradox Launcher
just your mod folder
you have to download the mod files
sometimes available on their discord servers
i got it from a famous server
should i get it from discord
yes likely
where can i find it
where can i find Millennium Dawn A Modern Day Mod.zip
🙁
Latest updates
Are filled with brain dead people I swear
I guess that’s why they arnt in ask for help
Because they can’t thing with their god awful tiny brain
so you want me to stop finding a link to download it
Moddie do you have the link
or the game
Usually release bigger puppets.
Explanation:
1 state nations rarely or simply don't pick industrial focusses until 1939.
2 or bigger state nations prioritize industrial focusses.
so i should release them as the big BiH instead of Herzegovina and BiH
I am the wrong person to ask.
I have steam. Only know the steam way.
Yeah.
guys why cant i send my navy here? i have port access
This is where u get supply from
And u get it from Athens
Move home base as described above
it worked
anybody know why rise of nations mod crashes on germany
If I add a new Capital Ship strategy, will I lose Line of Battle?
Yea
You're replacing Line of Battle with something else
is this a good template for late game?
yo my agent just got captured and it said "we must prepare a rescue operation"
did i just lose an agent💀
lol too big. except for MP.
or can i somehow get them back
U should do suicide pills if u havent so they die next time
You can get them back
But yes u need to rescue
how do i do that
Dead agents are better than captured ones
You will have a new rescue mission once you get the % high enough.
if i start a war with albania i'm gonna get deleted by italy
& disagree re dead v. captured -- the 2 skill is better to save.
hey there! what support companies should i use in ncns? I'm looking for general use infantry an tank division
Motorized and later mechanized infantry for your tank divisions
If you don't have that, then cavalry will do for the moment
Support companies wise, Engineer company, anti air if you expect not to have air superiority, field hospitals for less exp loss, and logistics company for low supply terrain
you can't paradrop that
Bro wtf is this
If you have No Step Back, you can implement support flame tanks for better terrain bonuses against rough terain and forts
I feel like the thing mastery most correlates with is the number of battalions, if you have 1 2-width you are gaining no matery
also super-heavy artillery is very good too + doctrine
thanks
yeah i fixed it
i replaced the artillery with paratroopers
I am by no means a new player but does anyone have advice on when to build dockyards? Ive switched between mils and dockyards in the past and I don't really have a good pointer how much I should build of what when I want to make a navy
guys how do i even air invade the uk? i just sent 10 parea divison on a single port and i coudnt even take it my division got viporised
i see, but the answer is still no because you can fill the support slots with things like artillery and light flame tank
You are missing support companies and send more paratroopers on the port, as well as enough to surround the port
surround port on all sides and also from above
ok
like?
engineers, logistics, support artillery...
support anti air might be wise too because in foreign territory you are going to get cassed
well i do have this tbh, replace the arty or armored cars with aa or logistics if you're so inclined
or of course replace recon with ranger recon too
@neat widget do you have any advice on this?
oh how good are ranger?
You don't wanna do too many
Like going over 60 usually is nad
If you wanna build a navy, start early
You only need around 30-40 as say UK
do I build dockyards first and then mils? or alternate?
Because you already start with a lot of ships
playing italy if that helps
Depends on your needs. I'd say docks first since u only need those in limited amounts, but it also conflicts with getting good effi on mils
well, definitely build them early so that you can get a navy out
So I guess do both? And then stop building docks once you got your desired number of them
yeah
It's more complicated
you do want to also build mils as early as possible for efficiency as said
Cuz you can't have too many mils you can only have too many docks
I guess I should just alternate between lines then and start with dockyards?
I guess so
After building your 12 to 18 months of civs
Assuming you're a major
Cuz please don't build 40 docks as Lithuania 💀
yeah
thank you!
my game crasher after i put time on max how to fix?
Where should the HCEG be placed?
iberia dockgreed build
The game would be better if all countries built dockyards instead of mils
WHY DOES MY GAME CRASH AFTER I CHOOSE COUNTRY AND PLAY FOR LIKE 20SEC
marcus i got encircled can u sazve me
no
what do I build here
check the pinned messages
huh
there is a navy build guide
i did i think
but its soo expensive its insane
or am I special
and its wrong
put what you can for now, and you could upgrade it later maybe ?
use secondaries
itll be like 800 less
?
not the small gun 😭
but secondary 2 is good yeah
itll always cost a bit but per attack its more cost effective
thanks
quick question should i use ranger or mountaineers for an elite attack infantry division?
Anyone know how I can fix my manpower problems?
315k house is crazy though
Yo i started out as Lithuania got the king, then poland, livonia and russia and now i got 6million ground army all dying out of attrition while idle help
i just instaled the game, how do i play?
motorized divisions for SP?
yes, why?
what do i build
it seems like the game can be hard to learn, let them off
mobile infantry or assault infantry, and then just do whatever
Shock troopers r good right
im running germany for context
prob some assault infantry build
how can i start at the game?
the best tip i can give you is to watch a youtube guide
there is one in the pinned messages
What year is the best time to start making tanks? And is it a good idea to produce the very first medium tank in research, the 1938 model? Or is it better to wait until the 1940 model is studied?
okay thx
What's the best way to "block" Germany here ? I've just won early vs the allies.
yo when does the winter war end?
theyll take a bit
playing which side?
finland
ah
retreat and surrender or hold leningrad 30 days for a decision
yeah ive held and it 1941 march so i just need to surrender?
theres no fixed date to win besides taking leningrad
just got it thx
mountaineers are better because of the combat width reduction they get
but rangers doctrine is good because of the rangers recon company which gets insane buffs
both get it
combine for best support company
that's what I meant
36 usually
interwar mediums are fine
So UK and France are conquered so i then will face Russia and USA. Do you know when USA could become a threat for the Duce ?
Is their any setting that ur task force repair priority automatically?
I keep having my sub fleets switch to never repair, and the really need to repair lol
If i give convoy to a puppet to annex him, will i have my convoy back after the annexion ?
(Or any other material)
how do I get more range for my ships? Im putting their hq port really close to these highlighted portion of ocean but its not letting them go and patrol in that zone
its only about naval supply hubs
so I need to build more closer east
how can I see where my current hubs are?
and does underwater replenishment help with this?
it adds range
generally id say to not care about the pacific island war
theres no resources or population there, and its of little strategic value
i mean they're probably trying to invade the us i imagine
how is this supply hub not enough to get them east
your navy have a supply hub from Truk, its best to sett it automatic
Nice manpower.
low range ships in fleet
😭
mayby stop pushing to norway
just fallback to Copenhagen
Why do you have so few armies
no u
what is that for reaction, he does not have enough manpower
JUST SPAM MORE????
😂
Well why didn’t he increase conscription law years ago
YEAH yeah
Anyway is tanks the key to beating the ussr? Like 3 lines medium and 2 mechanised?
I only have like 110 hours
The only reason I am beating it is because of my allies
More than me
I got the game like 10 days ago 😂
I forgot to use Medium tanks 😭
yeah but I used mods for a while bc I knew it would be too hard
i did a run with horses only and still beat them
idk what you want from me lol
If I start over what should I do?
How do you do it. By the time I invade they have like 4-6 divisions on every province
fr
And only my tanks can break through but it’s very slow and they never get far
I barely passed Minsk by winter
wait what difficulty should I do it on as a new-ish player
But I don’t know what I do wrong
that game was on Regular
I play on normal
Bonecrusher
*regular
if you could do you want to play a multiplayer game together or smth
try to beat the allies?
I have no idea how multiplayer works
Wait so it doesn’t have to be against other people?
Oh cool
what country do u normally play?
I have played like 3 games as Germany
And 1 as ussr
And 1 as Peru when I was figuring out how the game works
have u played italy?
Never
We could do axis
What countries do you like?
Germany is the only one ive played so far
And UK
I have an Idea
I could go facist Britan and join the axis
you be Germany
Wouldn’t that make the game really unbalanced
Sure we can try it
But historical is much more fun
it will still be historical everything but Ill go down the facist path
How does multi player work with the game speed and do you have to play the whole thing without a break
Because rn every time I’m at war I’m pressing pause every 5 seconds 😂
guys what the best template for iran?
Most games are usually one session for like 5 hours. You don’t play at five speed so it’s more manageable, usually 3-4 speed during peace and 2-3 during war.
You still gotta get used to doing things fast though
In the set up options, whats the difference between America deimperialised and America decolonized?
i cannot imagine playing 4 speed without a coop on majors. Germany especially
hey what kind of divisions should is end as vols
if on gbp cav
hey when civs over mils in sp
Is there any way for you to increase a party pop
advisors
uhh
focus tree
decisions tab
ok I'm playing route to 56 and France and I'm trying to rebuilt the French Empire but uhhhh I need a LOT more grey
quick dumb question would 30width beat 20with spam i ask since im fighting a person who does only 20width and i see guide that go 30-35 width
20 width is usually typical for defensive infantry
with new doctrine system never
unless you wanna do a postwar build
Offensive divisions typically go within the 30-36 width range
on a 40 width mod tbh
okay good to know why only 20wifth for defense why not the same?
width has less to do with combat capability than you thought
it's not the correct way of thinking
lower width divisions have a lot more org(since org is averaged across battalions)
hiiii liv hiiii tails hii topazand
and more reinforce rate(obviously)
so if you just put your divisions on a front and want them to sit there and hold smaller ones are better
in terms of stats, the total stat you get has nothing to do with width
You can pump out a lot of 20 width divisions and they do well holding the line
but larger division always have an advantage in dealing/receiving damage due to targetting
and when you are attacking, org matters very little
so you just go for a large template
how far behind does your technology have to be for planes/tanks for them to straight up not be worth building
okay thats good to know so from what im getting from u and tails in have a 35 combat width divison for attacking. while using a normal 20 for defense
1936 plane(speicfically, fighter) is not worth building
any tank is worth building
just convert to a better gun
something like that
but it matters very little
compared to other stuff
i figured i was just curious since he said anything over 20 is bad. this isa final question if you dont mind anwsering would mechanized be good agianst a naval invasion aka defending from one or is there something better?
mech brick port guard lmao
what nation vs what nation
what context
well that just wrong
usa vs chine or usa vs japan im the usa
mechanized is good, specifically when you last stand
then no
☠️
just make infantry brikcs
the US is broke
also what the hell is usa vs japan
how does Japan even get the range to go to US with new navy system
if half decent japan theyll have a lot more MIC
island hop
larp
ok i will annex half of the world as japan
mainly just us doing naval battle but i wanna guard my islands better
prob only annex china then 1v1 USA
which is still not fair
but not as bad
mech island garrison is crazy, you're overthinking that. Just do infantry bricks
most random islands on the pacific has zero strategic value
also that
if you 1v1 naval war larp
okay if thats the case may i ask why not mech? and what template would u suggest then for a guy who loves 20witdth
again it has nothing to do with 20 width or anything
ignore every other island
i won't garrison any island in the pacific
complete waste of ic
just garrison philipines
Japan white peace does not seem to work as communist china leading the united front. They released korea but we're still at war?
okay good to know then may i ask this why not mech for usa is it the timeframe or soemthing else?
That is horrifying
the simple answer is that mountaineer would probably have more stats, and would be cheaper
more complicated answer is that you don't want to make mech in vanilla due to xp
okay i see. i do have more questions would it be possible to ask for a mentor or something so i could learn more and not just bug you guys constantly?
Play Defying the Axis mod, your question will be answered then
you can bug us constantly
production efficiency and cap better
earlier mils
but its not completely unfair ig if naval larp
still bad tho
pfft appericated man
constant bugging is the point of the chat tbh
Annexing half the world in 1937?
you can justify fast if youre a fascist nation at war with a major power
proper heri
free edit
otherwise just use largest available units
ah well good know. then could i ask for some help as complete newbie i wish to learn the tricks of the game and learn soi can properly beat him
Still not sure how’d manage to do that by 1937 unless with paras I guess
i think i ve written something before
^
the most important thing on usa is if you can have enough war support when japan declares on china to get giant awakes
and do great depression focus whenever it becomes available
ahh i see i can use that but i mean a bit more of the combat units whats good whats not stuff like that since i tend to fail horribly at that part eco wise im pretty good just the fighting and learning proper counters not so much
it matters very little at the end of the day
idk what to tell you
there are correct answers just a bit hard to carry out in vanilla
Marines for DDay
naval invade
i figured honestly jsut a shot in the dark . i really do appericate the info you gave me tho its rather helpful
gonna mass produce this and then refit it later
a lot of things you think matters a lot(like what width_ doesn't really do much
that's what id say
i would rank the priority as having eco -> making air >> everything else
you can literally just use the starting infantry template and rush gun
probably win against most people
Make it cheaper
the "meta" or whatever template is just pure mountaineer, but you need to exploit the special force cap in vanilla to have that
i see good to know thank you. and i figured i just can never find the right words to ask the right questions
sp?
why not use howitzer and make it spg
1936
you start with howi
?
well yeah, that's very true 😭
youre france
i do?
yes
damn
i have not enough exp
cause i don't know how to manage it lol
this would've been better spent rushing gbp but idc it's fine
dont design stuff unless planned out or you have excess
do i like keep going or am i okie dokie
what
do i keep going or is this like
bad
minor mistake or am i cooked
can you rush tool 4 on france
if so probably just keep making the base
saves resources as well
convert later
Fallout TV show reference?!?
unless you need to use the tank now somehow
i don't need to
yeah just make the base then
i have my 6 lt divisions i start with
put more on tanks xd
but prob be fine
i took off the ticks so it's less
wdym 1 tank a week will supply the army by the war in the 50s
