[pliant condor]

just get grind

also make sure you train 4 width light tank and artillery

at home

[stuck garnet]

?

[pliant condor]

deploy like a few hundred 2 width infantry

create a new template with 2 light tank

[stuck garnet]

so i can send more vols?

[pliant condor]

or 2 artillery

disable equipment

convert the 2 width infantry to the tank/artillery and train

[pliant condor]

both that, and you gain mastery

while not using any tank/artillery

[stuck garnet]

oh yeah

that's based

but uhh

i don't have gbp yet

[pliant condor]

oh lol

[wet topaz]

You dint even need them to be equipped right?

[pliant condor]

don't spend xp yet

[pliant condor]

they specifcally work because they are glitched in a state where they need new equipment but those cannot be reinforced

so the game count them as being equipped

[narrow grail]

How should I even create an American agency branch?

[wet topaz]

Ohh

[night tangle]

navy says i dont have acces to the region

even tho my ships are at the port next to the sea

whats the fix

[pliant condor]

there is a button

that says automatic assign home base

click that

[night tangle]

where is this button located

i am unable to find it

nwm

[atomic crescent]

why is this happening?

[unique ingot]

is it possible to core states outside of focuses?

[atomic crescent]

formables

[narrow grail]

There are many decisions depening on country you play but those are granted from completing focuses

[atomic crescent]

decision

[stuck garnet]

is it worth to send vols to multiple countries if i don't feel like training multiple generals

what i wanna do:
Army exp
Help out other country
Exp for divs sounds nice
Don't mind extra exp for other generals and a second field marshal
What am worried about:
How the hell would i manage two fronts
I don't knooow should i? I wanna focus on these generals for now
etc

[atomic crescent]

yesha

[pliant condor]

yes

just annoying

[sterile condor]

can someone help me with the game i got it yesterday

[stuck garnet]

how many bats of these should i train

1 bat inf convert to 1 arty 1 lt

is this good or is this nah uh

these are 1 bat inf btw

ehh this is better

[hushed gorge]

how should I design marines for naval invasion

[atomic crescent]

marines,mech,and art

[hushed gorge]

that isnt helpful

[atomic crescent]

yes it is

2 full row of marines then 3 mech and 3 art

[stuck garnet]

how much width

[hushed gorge]

2 full rows including the 5th one?

[stuck garnet]

why line art

you're better off putting amphib tanks

[sterile condor]

can someone teach the game to me

[atomic crescent]

marines are mostly used to make a beach head and art for soft attack

[hushed gorge]

watch tutorials and try multiple times

[stuck garnet]

I don't think anyone can fully teach the game to you

if you have questions come here

that's my advice

one time i played mp with this british guy who was 10x better at the game than me and i got wrecked

[hushed gorge]

I learned how to play the game by trying germany several times while watching videos and i slowly got better

[analog maple]

guys anyone got a good template for iran?

[hushed gorge]

i dont want space marines

[hushed gorge]

mountaineers

[stuck garnet]

figure of speech

[pliant condor]

train like 200 each

[stuck garnet]

each?

[hushed gorge]

why mech?

[pliant condor]

well the more you train faster you gain mastery

you need to convert it to a tempalte of artillery or tank with exactly the same manpower in the field, with all equipment disabled

[pliant condor]

do you want to exploit special force cap

if not just add marine and flame tank to your infantry until it gets 50% amphibious attack

[hushed gorge]

then what

and I dont want to exploit it

[pliant condor]

this

[pliant condor]

^

[hushed gorge]

oh i read it wrong

[pliant condor]

and fill it with infantry until its /2 the width of the tile you are invading

you only need 50% amphibious attack

what really matters for invading is to get planning, and force attack

[stuck garnet]

my division of just 18 calv bats had 200 soft attack

wowzers

wow

yeah uhh

[glacial steeple]

whats the event id for vichy france?

[stuck garnet]

im a noob

[hushed gorge]

ive thought of calv units before but i didnt do it for a really good reason

idr why tho

ik it was a good reason

[glacial steeple]

no doctrine bonuses

[hushed gorge]

before new doctrines

[glacial steeple]

yea

[hushed gorge]

infantry give more soft attack is a reason

[hushed gorge]

also more isnt better normally

[stuck garnet]

?

they're attacking divs

i know calv isn't good

but it's uhh

decent

[hushed gorge]

i mean more as in having 18 calvs in one

[stuck garnet]

ig

[glacial steeple]

thats fine

[hushed gorge]

if your new you prob are using infantry a lot

[stuck garnet]

you'd get way more stats with a traditional mech/tank

I'm not new i just suck at the game

but yes i do use inf a lot

[hushed gorge]

This is a good division but add AA to it

[pliant condor]

even in the new version you still want to make calv

[spare turret]

ahhh

[pliant condor]

to grind calv leader

you just waste more xp because of no proper heritage

[hushed gorge]

whats the best operations to pick as japan

land doctrines

[pliant condor]

grand assult

on any nation really

the other options are not even close

(unless you need manpower)

[hushed gorge]

i havent really done operations in my other games idk why

[pliant condor]

it's the second most important one

after infantry

[glacial steeple]

it rlly isnt good

2000 IC is a lot for that

[stuck garnet]

i have questions

what are good navy doctrines?

[stuck garnet]

nuh uh don't

it's a mot

it's

not a good div

[hushed gorge]

mot is pretty good in sp

[stuck garnet]

full motorized isn't that good

go mech and add tanks

[hushed gorge]

try this

[glacial steeple]

awful

what are we even posting now

[hushed gorge]

how 😭

[glacial steeple]

stuff you saw on bittersteel's youtube channel and thought its good?

[hushed gorge]

no

[glacial steeple]

too little hp, not getting 100% of the special forces buff factor

or even close to it

[wet topaz]

Also 25 width kinda sus

[hushed gorge]

mountain combat width is 50

[wet topaz]

Yea

So you want 32 width

[hushed gorge]

why?

[wet topaz]

You can go over 50 width in a battle

Plus extra attacking direction

Trust, 32 is best for attacking mountains

[pliant condor]

just a meme

but ok the issue is not really 25 width, the issue is line artillery but no breakthrough

at the very very least make a breakthrough flame tank

[wet topaz]

Oh yeah your breakthrough is literally 100

[hushed gorge]

how do you d esign a breakthrough flame tank

[wet topaz]

Make a medium flame tank with 4 extra ammo storage

And armour clicks if you need (you should for infantry)

[hushed gorge]

doesnt that give it 0% reliability

[wet topaz]

Not really

Like 40 or 50

Which is fine for flame tanks

[hushed gorge]

interwar?

[pliant condor]

whatever you have

would give you like 50% more breakthrough to the division

[analog maple]

Those are special divisions thou

[hushed gorge]

ik

you get some regular infantry to hold the line

and use however much mountaineers you can get to push

[neat widget]

Yeah the issue here is that there's just not enough breakthrough, this is why flame tanks are so often used because they can stack like 80 breakthrough

[neat widget]

Those are alos issues

although here you will have to teach them how to spec into special forces buffs

which is relatively simple, but not obvious to players that haven't done it before

[keen hemlock]

are these insfrastructure builds only avalable for jaopan

[wet topaz]

No

They just added these changes

Also I’m sorry that is the most cursed build menu for Japan I’ve ever seen

[pliant condor]

and the most cursed factory count😭

better than fuel silos yk

[wet topaz]

I usually have a little under double the total factory count in military factories alone by that time

But he’s commie Japan with no china

[stuck garnet]

hey fellas

uhh

what naval doctrines are godo

good*

[wet topaz]

Base strike usually

Cuz you should always do carriers if you want to do navy

But if you don’t for some reason then fleet in being is the only other real option

[pliant condor]

depends on what you want to do

[keen hemlock]

I’m just going for the achievement

Then I might conquer

But I need more mills cuz I’m gonna get Korea then all of China

I was actually building inf because you can upgrade your tiles to urban

[hasty belfry]

Hope good would you say this military advisor is? Should I take him over either the army logistics or army regrouping expert?

[wet topaz]

Pick infantry expert

[hasty belfry]

I know that.

There are 3 slots.

And the 3 that aren’t the immediate obvious pick are competing for 2.

[wet topaz]

I would def do army regrouping

And then I would say grind a commando to get special forces attack

And if you don’t grind I wouldn’t pick him right after, there would be much better pp clicks than him

[hasty belfry]

I need to focus on defeating China before I can thing about luxuries like enough special forces to justify that.

[pliant condor]

better than nothing

[hasty belfry]

Which should I take him over? The logistics or regrouping expert?

[remote bone]

How do i get italy to stop taking a port when i try to cheese

[pliant condor]

logi

or ok maybe logi is still better

both are pretty useless afterall

get commado

[hasty belfry]

That won’t be much of a use until I can field a large amount of special forces. I should at least fill the slot until I expand further into China.

[pliant condor]

grind it

what we meant

[hasty belfry]

For special forces I don’t have?

[pliant condor]

the only advisor that would potentially useful for you later

yes

because you won't magically get one when you will have special forces

[hasty belfry]

My army currently consists of 12 18 width infantry with support arty.

[hasty belfry]

How do you grind one without special forces?

[pliant condor]

both logi and supply advisor does basically nothing

[glacial steeple]

inf expert is right there

[pliant condor]

the trait commando has nothing to do with special forces

look at the requirement

[hasty belfry]

I know.

That is the obvious first pick.

[pliant condor]

or easiest method it to have the army spirit and roll a new general with commando

[hasty belfry]

But I have 2 more slots to fill until then.

[glacial steeple]

concealment cuz manchu

[pliant condor]

also this advisor doesn't give command power somehow

[glacial steeple]

for third you grind a general up

either for panzer or whatever your build is

and give him a role

[glacial steeple]

yeah a lot of new ones dont

prc has a ton

[hasty belfry]

Everyone I’m fighting before I will have the industry for support AA will either have no Airforce, or one I can beat with the swarm of P-36’s I can buy off of the US.

[glacial steeple]

its still a good pick?

wont have to pick in future

china also has some planes

[hasty belfry]

One that is locked behind 2 70 day focuses.

[hasty belfry]

That was who I was talking about when I said I could easily beat it with purchased P-36’s.

[glacial steeple]

i wanna do games where i buy equipment but its just so bad

[hasty belfry]

Most of the time it is.

[glacial steeple]

like you lose so much industry for a temporary small amount of bad equipment lol

[hasty belfry]

But the USA typically sells P-36’s in droves starting around 1939-1940.

They aren’t terrible for a historical template and can be used to quickly raise a decent airforce.

[glacial steeple]

you could also just license build a plane

[hasty belfry]

Maybe. But that isn’t as quick.

And that has production debuffs.

I’m also already wanting for mils.

[neat widget]

i mean if you can get concealment expert tbh

concealment is good whenever you don't have air

[hasty belfry]

I don’t expect to deal with any major amounts of air before I have air of my own.

The Nationalist airforce has like a hundred planes.

Any idea what this is?

[frigid harness]

whats the best way to convert old eq to the new one do I just switch it?

[raw fossil]

can someone tell me how to make 500 divisions as russia

[frigid harness]

XD WHAT

WHY

[raw fossil]

HOW DO I MAKE 500 DIVISIONS AS THE SOVIET UNION?

[frigid harness]

just make them and what for xd

[raw fossil]

fighting back against german invasion

[frigid harness]

XDDD

u dont need 500 divs

bro

wtf

what template

do u use

[raw fossil]

i do twin

what template is suggested for making 500 infantry divisions

[frigid harness]

xd

idk

[raw fossil]

let me ask chat gpt 🤖

[frigid harness]

ive got 1.7m in the field

I will have 2m when fighting germany

[hasty belfry]

That’s the US so I can’t get the P-36’s.

But I can buy a bunch of French fighters.

[frigid harness]

@raw fossil thats all u need man

[raw fossil]

but like the german ai has more divisions than that

so u gotta outnumber them like 3 times

[hasty belfry]

I just remembered. Manchukuo should just already have an airforce.

They had one irl.

[pliant condor]

make gun

deploy divisions

click deploy button 500 times

you have 500 divs

[hasty belfry]

Actually it was formed in 1937.

[pliant condor]

really if you just build mils and have gun it's very easy

[raw fossil]

how i play as the ussr is i invade turkey and romania then i make factories assasinate trotsky get 48 divisions make forts on river wait for attack i get pushed back till forts and after a few months they break the forts i retreat and try not to get encircled and i get defenses buffs and i wait for the allies to invade sicily and normandy then i push back

bam ez

i think

[pliant condor]

how about not getting pushed back

[raw fossil]

uhh ye i do that

[frigid harness]

XDDDDDDD

wtf man no?

[raw fossil]

they do bro

[frigid harness]

it doenst matter man

what template do u use

u need better inf thats it

[raw fossil]

i aint in a game yet

[frigid harness]

they ahve trash templates bro

tf

man

[raw fossil]

im asking how to get 500 divisions

i dont need a template

[frigid harness]

nice iq

[raw fossil]

thanks

[frigid harness]

u wont have the eq to do that

[raw fossil]

hmmmm what makes you think that

[pliant condor]

by making guns

?

500 is on the lower end, if anything

[pliant condor]

you need gun, and manpower to deploy a template

you probably should have manpower for 500

so you just need to make enough guns

you make guns by optimizing your industry and building mils

basically

[marble solstice]

Should I do 4 year Plan or Prioritize Economic Growth for Germany

[hexed meteor]

how am i to obtain coal

[steep nexus]

Why do you trade so much in the other ressources?

[hexed meteor]

idk

plenty of civ factorys

[steep nexus]

And to answer your question, you can build infrastructure in provinves with coal

[steep nexus]

Yeah better trade as much as you need

[boreal scaffold]

why can't go to this zone

im struggling man

i hate navy

[neat widget]

you're based in buenos aires

[boreal scaffold]

i can't believe it

you are a genius thank you very much

i didn't know that

[neat widget]

don't worry

i blame paradox

I'm asked this like 6 times every day

[boreal scaffold]

kjjjjjjj

[hexed meteor]

why does it section out my units

they havnt moved there yet but like i dont want my tank army on one part of the front while my infa is on another

i want them to be mixed up

[pliant condor]

my eyes

[pliant condor]

ok first of all, you don't have a "tank army"

you have an army pretending that they have tanks in them

[wet topaz]

4yr plan

[median socket]

priortize economic growth is stronger but if you want to be historical do 4 year plan

in sp is it stronger to add a howitzer or a cannon

to a tank

[pliant condor]

howitzer

[wild rune]

shift while applying field marshal front line

and then put tanks

on a general front line

[hasty belfry]

Does anyone know if TNO is updated for NCNS?

[wild rune]

it is

[hasty belfry]

Thanks.

[unreal pulsar]

Does anyone have a kaiserreich Germany guide

[wild rune]

read the path guides

[unreal pulsar]

[limpid apex]

how do i get a civilian nuclear reactor

[vital geode]

Have gotterdammerung i believe

Special projects
Research nuclear reactors
Research civilian nuclear reactors

[limpid apex]

its a german only thing?

[vital geode]

DLC maybe

You dont need it

[limpid apex]

which one

[vital geode]

I never suffered a lot from coal in my games anyways

[vital geode]

I literally said gotterdammerung

[limpid apex]

thats a dlc???

[vital geode]

Yeah

[limpid apex]

oh ty

[full nest]

Help?…

[hazy root]

Which DLS is better? Götterdämmerung or no step back?

My friends told me no step back, but I'm skeptical.

[sonic anchor]

its pretty good adds a lot to the game including russian trees, the tank designer which is a lot of fun and so on well worth it also get man the guns when you can and arms against tyranny

[young hill]

Nsb

[dusty sandal]

No step back

Gottamerung is alright but its only real strenght are focuses. Special projects you'll use only 2-3 and the rest will stay unused until you do a memey playthrough

[wild rune]

No Step Back

[hushed vault]

what is the new mass mob meta?

[wild rune]

its not real

[hushed vault]

it has to be

[wild rune]

it isnt

[hushed vault]

they removed mass mob

sad

can u still do fat mountaineers?

[wild rune]

yes

that with Assault Inf is best

+20% soft attack to ur 32.4 mountaineer divisions

[stark kiln]

guys can anybody help me? why my naval invasion is not working

[wild rune]

no supremacy

[stark kiln]

and how to transport my ships?

[wild rune]

set main base as phillipines

no supply otherwise

[haughty vortex]

Which special projects should i do?
(I don't have any dlcs btw)

[gray widget]

why does my resource procentage keeps going up or down. ( will go up to 100 then drop to 0 and slowly rise back up to 100 and so on ) ?

[hushed vault]

special forces doctrine are gone?

what do u actually do now

spend 100 xp on infantry doctrine and just train infantry?

[wild rune]

no?

[hushed vault]

im asking

havent opened the game in like 2 months

[glacial steeple]

MEV

[thin zealot]

And flame tanks

[glacial steeple]

not a thing without nsb

[thin zealot]

[analog maple]

anyone have a good division design for iran? or like for deserts at general

[weak moon]

For SF Doctrine
Mountaineers- Holding the line better or Mountain Artillery better?

[solid surge]

how can I avoid ashlus if I play as Austria and someone is on Germany

[versed rose]

Holding the Line

Mountain Artillery is noob bait

[weak moon]

So you don't take the artillery bonus for rangers aswell?

[versed rose]

no because you give up terrain buffs

unless you're larping with lots of artillery, taking the arty sf doctrines are traps that make your sf comparatively worse than if you took the other option

[steady pagoda]

Hello, is there a new feature that decrease base value of stability?

[weak moon]

So how do you make your SF divisions?

[half anchor]

is there any way to import the launcher? like with all the playsets and stuff

[glacial steeple]

desert is just plains

[shut ravine]

does sub spam still work?

[glacial steeple]

for what

[shut ravine]

naval supremacy

[ornate gazelle]

Yes and no 😁

It still works fine

[glacial steeple]

hasnt worked well for it in years

[north quail]

when i try to do anschluss focus it says i need the von neurath focus and reorganize the wermacht but it also says i cant have both at the same time

[hollow linden]

You need one or the other

[north quail]

oh

[hollow linden]

It should say "needs one of the following" not "needs all of the following"

[north quail]

do i have to make my army bigger

[hollow linden]

Yea

[north quail]

damn

[hollow linden]

Reading carefully helps

[north quail]

i keep making infantry lol

are paratroopers good

[rotund crater]

what divisions should i be making for singleplayer for either small or larger nations?

[hollow linden]

If you're not gonna drop with them, I would use rangers or mountaineers

This goes for anything

[north quail]

im kinda new so i wanna try stuff and i wanna learn how to use paratroopers

[rotund crater]

ok thank you

[hollow linden]

Alr then use them

[north quail]

i just make them attack somewhere and they drop on it?

[hollow linden]

It's a special order. Like naval invasions but you start from air ports where transport planes are deployed too

U need 75% supremacy in the air zones you're passing through and 50 transports per div, no matter the size

[north quail]

huhh

[scenic idol]

How to host a modded multiplayer server

I mean how to add a mod to multi server

[glacial steeple]

just click host while you have a mod loaded

[scenic idol]

Thanks

[hollow linden]

Make sure all your friends all have the same checksum, that way you can check that yall have the same mods and can play. The checksum is the number in (brackets)

[north quail]

yay i have my paratroopers

how to add units to a division

like a army i mean

[glacial steeple]

you right click

[hollow linden]

Select div, click the portrait at the bottom

[north quail]

i wanna add units to a army

[hollow linden]

And I just told you how to do it

[north quail]

uh

that creates a new one

[hollow linden]

Then click on an existing one?

Don't create a new one

[north quail]

im so confused

i have a army but i wanna add units

😭

[hollow linden]

......then select the divisions and click on the army.

The way you create new armies is the way you add divs to existing armies

[north quail]

ohh i was left clicking

[hollow linden]

Jfc

[north quail]

how do i stop trade

liek i have 6 convoys with usa how to cancel

[hollow linden]

Go trade menu, go to the resource you're trading with the US and set it to 0

[north quail]

ty

[glacial steeple]

what nation are you playing

[wise star]

what do you guys think is the most potent yugoslavia national focus tree (western fascist / democrat / nonaligned / soviet union pan-balkan initiative communist)

im trying to figure out how to expand but also how to not get stomped either by the allies or the axis too hard

[hollow linden]

Don't play yugoslavia 💀

Commie is probably best

[stuck garnet]

Hey

As spartacus how do i go four year plan without annexing or is it just better to go civ at that point

I want puppets💔

[hollow linden]

4yp is literally about annexing wdym

[stuck garnet]

💔

[hollow linden]

U don't do it without

[glacial steeple]

yugo is really weak

[stuck garnet]

Damn

[hollow linden]

Annexing is better anyhow

[stuck garnet]

Yeah but i have buffs on commie path for puppets

[hollow linden]

Doesn't matter

It's nothing burger

Just annex

[glacial steeple]

if you wanna do puppets then go PEG

[stuck garnet]

Peg

?

[wise star]

ok so

[hollow linden]

Left side eco

[stuck garnet]

Oh

[wise star]

do i sfry

or do i not

[stuck garnet]

Idk i wanna play the game💔

Ill go left eco if its better

[wise star]

i REALLY want to take albania (coast 100) and bulgaria (free black sea access)

[stuck garnet]

If its left do i civ greed or do i still build mils

[wise star]

no idea what that means my friend

[stuck garnet]

I kinda wanna juggle between industry and war tbh

But its probs a bad idea

[stuck garnet]

Left eco germany do i build a shit ton of civs or do i just build mils

[glacial steeple]

the issue is

if you core any more land youre gonna die

[vapid pulsar]

I spent 4 hours of my life just to find out you can't do prc infiltration achievement with battle royale at the same time and that battle royale is bugged

🥀

Paradox

[glacial steeple]

the only place you can realistically hold is a few tiles around belgrade

holding more is uh

not very easy

you dont have a lot of manpower or economy

[vapid pulsar]

For sum reason the infiltration achievement needs you to be at war with reorganized china

[glacial steeple]

splitting the nation into puppets and then reannexing helps though

[vapid pulsar]

And the battle royale achievement needs you to cap everyone before 1940

[glacial steeple]

not true iirc

just on hist

because japan needs to not get north vietnam

[wise star]

so

do i go nonaligned route

then take albania and everything else?

[glacial steeple]

probably the strongest

[wise star]

gotcha

thx

[vapid pulsar]

?

Why does that matter

The achievement just days dec on china and japan within 90 days of eachother before 1940 then cap them but what u acc have to do is cap them before 1940

[neat widget]

Doctrine for that would be right right btw

[trail reef]

if i go communist japan when the civil war happens do i also fight the democrats??

[hexed parcel]

Sorry this sounds very simplistic but how do you defend d day in 1942

Cause there's about 8 naval invasions per month and my tanks can't go everywhere at once

I mean rn I have like 20 tanks on Soviet border and 5 to go elsewhere

[hollow linden]

Put inf on area defense

[cedar sky]

guys how to get unwilling diarchy path as communist china

[glacial steeple]

[cedar sky]

I did 2 events, he's currently in Shaanbei rn

do I need to do more?

[glacial steeple]

if you have the guy you can do the path

[cedar sky]

ye he just arrived, tysm

[hexed parcel]

Not that easy

[shadow crypt]

to get better am i suppose to watch tutorials or should i just play?

[hollow linden]

Whats the difficulty?

Pump out 72 inf with engi and aa

[hexed parcel]

Still get insta pushed out the tile

Plus Italy's playing like a dumbass

[shadow crypt]

yo guys to send troops to another country across water do i have to create boats or smth ?

[ornate gazelle]

WDYM? like invade or just go there

[hollow linden]

Then have cas?

Red air is really bad

[hexed parcel]

Yh

1000 fighters and cas for France

Just oil is running low I guess

[hollow linden]

Thats pretty little

[hexed parcel]

Can do 2k

[ornate gazelle]

[hexed parcel]

Or 3k

Each

[hollow linden]

See better

also that's why you capture the med for italy

[late mist]

Hi all, I cannot for the life of me wrap my head around the naval invasions (or navy in general I guess), anyone can help answer a couple questions?

[viscid abyss]

I had the same issue

[pliant condor]

👀

[viscid abyss]

Basically you put troops in a port, press naval invasion, click on the port you are leaving and then click on the port you want to attack

It’s 50 day preparation before you can attack

And the number of divisions which carry out the attack is limited (idk how that works but for me the number was 6)

[late mist]

Well I've got all that, I've got the lines laid out and everything, I even have ships set to strike force and naval invasion support, however my ships just cross their arms and siti n the port

[pliant condor]

you need ships on patrol to generate naval dominance

[viscid abyss]

Strike force waits in port until an enemy fleet is spotted

[late mist]

.... 😄

[viscid abyss]

I had exactly the same issue 😂

[late mist]

well then

[viscid abyss]

Couldn’t figure out why my ships wouldn’t move

[hexed parcel]

Tryna play historical tho and getting gibraltar is harder than it looks

[late mist]

Thank you all so much lmfao im gonna attempt that

[glacial steeple]

every mission besides patrol is useless btw

[cursive sorrel]

I bought the dlc subscription about 30 minutes ago, nothing downloaded and I don't see any new dlcs that's been added to the game?

[glacial steeple]

they all use fuel but give no supremacy

convoy raiding is just convoy raiding

[late mist]

heard that, thank you so much

[hexed parcel]

Raiding still work the same way?

[pliant condor]

paradrop

easy

[hexed parcel]

I presume this is the new meta now

[pliant condor]

or, which I think is the better option, you build a navy(you can get one for basically free from the raiding cruiser focus)

then you win navy

no invasion ever

[late mist]

Not sure if you have it on steam but I had to verify integrity of game files through Steam after getting the DLC sub even though it said they had been added

[pliant condor]

i mean, you don't have other options without a navy

[hexed parcel]

Germany gets a navy through a focus elaborate

[cursive sorrel]

I have it on steam, yeah. Thanks for the tip, I'll try that out!

[pliant condor]

do the focus "raiding cruisers" or whatever that allow you to refit convoys to cruisers
make a design of interwar cruiser with the EXACT same name but most expensive(max light attack armor IV)
click the decision every month/whenever its available
boom you get a free navy

it has to be named exactly Hilfskreuzer

design it after you get armor IV

fit as many light cruiser gun and anything as possible

best part is that the focus doesn't actually take away convoys, so you just keep clicking it

[hexed parcel]

Actually never knew you could do this

[hexed parcel]

I presume I still build roach destroyers for tanking tho

Subs for raiding

[analog maple]

guys is there something i need to do to send troops to a port? i just captured a british port sent my divsion there and noting happend they didnt go

[inner mountain]

how do you win against germany as poland? is there a way to win against germany while holding most of your land and not waiting until like 1945?

i seem to be suffering most from the lack of units

[glacial steeple]

and rename initial spawn in

[glacial steeple]

dont hold the frontline?

also your army is just small

[analog maple]

do monarch path and take romania. and use a defencive template for all ur troops\

[inner mountain]

what if i dont want to do the romanian path

[scenic nacelle]

Then don’t

[pliant condor]

if you want to build a navy just build surface ships

also don't build destroyers

ever

efficiency wise it's probably better to build battleship but it requires one research

[glacial steeple]

torp 3 destroyers are most attack/IC

[pliant condor]

by having divisions

[pliant condor]

future tech

[glacial steeple]

yeah

[pliant condor]

also just nerfed

[pliant condor]

you can have 200 divisions at danzig, which is more than enough to destroy germany

or on fascist you can declare on germany in 38

[vernal knoll]

is good as a attack templete for 1937?

[inner mountain]

how 200 divs?

[pliant condor]

by making guns

[inner mountain]

i dont have the manpower

[glacial steeple]

oh true they made it slower

keep recruiting forever

[inner mountain]

thats what im doing

[glacial steeple]

from year 1

[pliant condor]

you do

just go up on recruitment

fascist

[bleak plinth]

`guys does manchuria have a new focus? i didnt buy the dlc yet

[pliant condor]

also in the new version desperate defense is free 5% manpower

[inner mountain]

what if i want to be monarchist?

is monarchist poland only viable in non hist?

[glacial steeple]

no

poland is very strong

your army is just small/weak

[half flax]

Some little addition, nothing big

[pliant condor]

which monarchist

[inner mountain]

the only ones i like is the commonwealth and the romanov one

[pliant condor]

ok those are the weaker ones

but could still work

just pick desperate defense

[half flax]

You just have a communist (really hard), and democratic (fine) branch, a Constitutionnal empire branch (Democratic in some sort), some gfx rework, and maybe some little addition, but nothing bing in the Qing Path, maybe some focus are faster to do

[inner mountain]

ok

[pliant condor]

also be smart with your focuses

don't waste time on like 70 day for 5 stability or changing your nation's name

focus on the industry focus

[inner mountain]

should i build forts or anti air?

[pliant condor]

no

only build mils

[inner mountain]

from the start?

[pliant condor]

also on any path where you get the lithuania focus, you can release them as a puppet after annexing them to do the focus and core it

[pliant condor]

yes

[glacial steeple]

yes

[pliant condor]

you can build infra on warsaw and katowice first

then mils

[inner mountain]

what about div templates?

what support comanies?

[glacial steeple]

AA, artillery

[pliant condor]

anti air and artillery

[glacial steeple]

8 inf

[pliant condor]

I would also do flame tank and recon light(just make the cheapest one) for doctrine bonus

but that's optional

[inner mountain]

no engineers?

[pliant condor]

you should have more than enough research for everything

definitely no engineer

you will be attacking

[inner mountain]

should i hold the biggest river? or will it lose me too much of my industry?

[glacial steeple]

Also theyre just not good

theyre only redeemable in forest and over rivers

[pliant condor]

frontline

i mean you could push into east prussia day 1

then you kill a bunch of divs and reinforce the main front

[glacial steeple]

ranger recon is good because it costs half of engineers and is good in better defensive terrain (mountains, hills)

so get that

[pliant condor]

ranger is offensive

the difference is

[inner mountain]

pure infantry?

[glacial steeple]

do you just love clicking buttons that make your units 20% more expensive?

like engineers and line arty

[inner mountain]

i usaly do 7/2 or 9/1

but i do use engineers...

[glacial steeple]

8/0 with supp arty and AA is like 40% less cost than 9/1 with engi

maybe more

which means 40% more units

[inner mountain]

hmm

[glacial steeple]

more org

less width usage

hp per IC is also better

[trail reef]

does it ever go away?

i did the decision

[narrow grail]

What did you even do to get such huge strikes?

[wet topaz]

Is support arty still good

I thought they nerfed it a ton

[glacial steeple]

it was nerfed but its still cheap no hp loss

[pliant condor]

what

it's giga buffed

it gives more soft than line artillery🤣

read assualt infantry subdoctrine

[stuck garnet]

how good is assigning air wings to armies

[pliant condor]

as good as everything else the ai manages

[fast narwhal]

Played less than an hour, dont even have the basic mechanics down LMAO

[scenic nacelle]

Normal

[stuck garnet]

hey uhh

whats a good air doctrine

[glacial steeple]

thats pretty normal

the basic tutorials are like an hour long

[stuck garnet]

what's like good non army doctrines

[nova gorge]

okay ive popped my head back in for a question whats a good super late game small fighter desgin is it lmg or cannons?

[hasty belfry]

Initiative has something to do with reinforce rate right?

Also, which spirit of the army should I go with?

[neat widget]

This plane can work

[nova gorge]

thank u

[neat widget]

Or you can go more expensive and try something like this

[fluid wharf]

china is seriuslt too easy too cap now

they cap in 3 months

[glacial steeple]

wrong fighter

soz

[nova gorge]

jeez and good to know just trying to find a good fighter to stop air raids and prevent being bombed to death

[neat widget]

Oh right I remember that

But it relies on Netherlands production buffs

[glacial steeple]

theres a trick to keep compliance after capping warlords (helps with gun deficit)

Caça dos EUA

[glacial steeple]

@fluid wharf tried replying to you but my internet died

[bleak plinth]

are jets even worth it

[fluid wharf]

i know

im actually kinda screwed right now

i cant dlip fascist in time

[glacial steeple]

you can

just wait

dont take nanjing and hold frontline

also whats ur strat to not do warlords?

[fluid wharf]

i assume u mean the compliance thing right

[glacial steeple]

wdym?

like after capping them

the peacedeal doesnt work for that

[fluid wharf]

really

[glacial steeple]

well yeah cuz if you do cap warlords pre peacedeal they count as seperate

but you get the collab event which you can click (75% of factories) and then if you annex that puppet you get 100% compliance on all chinese states owned by that puppet

this includes taiwan and possibly manchukuo

dont have to do any peacedeal cheesing/exploits

its just integrating a puppet

which you made from the event, not from the decision

if you do the decision your compliance also gets nuked

it also allows you to flip later if you want

[fluid wharf]

idk

i did it the old way

and it works fine

juicy factories tho

[wise star]

i saw somewhere i can annex all bulgarian and romanian cores with the yugo puppet focus route, how do i get them to become puppets for annexing

[fluid wharf]

im gonna kms

whya re so many focus locked behind war

i have to keep delaying capping china

[glacial steeple]

no compliance hebei chahar

no compliance shandong

[fluid wharf]

i do have compliance there

i think

oh i dont

only beijing and jinan

its whatevs

[carmine thunder]

Does the fact chinas ports are cut off make it impossible to reinforce these divisions

[remote bone]

Whats a good tank div and design my tank divs do good in the start and fall apart in about 41

[uncut narwhal]

get military access from china, then theyll get reinforced

[viscid abyss]

Is there some sort of expiration date for war goals

[uncut narwhal]

hover over it

[remote bone]

yes

[viscid abyss]

How long is it normally

Cos I missed it by a day 😭

[scenic nacelle]

Like 5 months?

[remote bone]

well for danzig or war its like 70 days

[scenic nacelle]

It’s hard to miss them

[remote bone]

some of the other focus ones can last for a while

[viscid abyss]

Alr thanks

[wintry matrix]

Manual justification without core, without direct claim usually holds like two months.

[carmine thunder]

I had that, it was the fact there were no ports japan took all the coast

[narrow grail]

Why when I delete all army and make 1 aa template marking others as outdated and trigger for example russian civil war, they get regular divions? (For Soviet union it's 9 inf + 1 art support)

[wintry matrix]

I guess the AI was updated and returned their templates.

[narrow grail]

So the key should be just switching all army to bad template without disbanding it

I was trying to do democratic Japan but got stuck in civil war

[remote bone]

Whats a good tank div and design my tank divs do good in the start and fall apart in about 41

[sinful vessel]

What is the best way to get rid of puppets ? Lower their autonomy via trade/build and then annex them, or release them then fight them ?

[remote bone]

lower autonomy is what i do

releasing them require time aswell so

[sinful vessel]

ok

Not reazlly for now, but if i want to annex them at some point, it could be easyer to start lowering their autonomy as soon as possible

[spiral crag]

how do i lower the resistance

[stuck garnet]

Make more inf equipmeny

[spiral crag]

how does that help???

[stuck garnet]

Youre not filling your garrison quota

Or change your laws

Or like

[stuck garnet]

The garrison templatr

One calv bat

[wintry matrix]

This usually means that you are missing out something.

[stuck garnet]

On local police force

Will do

Produce whatever is missing

[spiral crag]

well this is the template

[stuck garnet]

Take out military police

And it will fix

[vapid pulsar]

No

He needs to make it 40w cav

[wintry matrix]

Either take out military police or fill the template completely with horses and keep police.

[spiral crag]

wont that take a lot of MP and eqipment

[vapid pulsar]

No

[wintry matrix]

It's kind of the opposite.

[vapid pulsar]

Saves you equipment

[spiral crag]

?

how

[vapid pulsar]

40w cav with mp

[vapid pulsar]

Suppression per ic

[remote bone]

your cav stops dying

[stuck garnet]

Heightens hp

[spiral crag]

ok

[wintry matrix]

Instead of using support equipment on one horse, you'll use support equipment on 25 horses.
This reduces your consumption on support equipment.

And your occupation does not work because you are missing support equipment.
Your occupation is not active, thus rising resistance.

[vapid pulsar]

Also you have no compliance atp just go harsh quotas for more factories

[wintry matrix]

There is the one focus that cores Luxembourg and Alsace-Lorraine.
You could do that one.
Other than that, check political advisors for resistance stats.

[spiral crag]

this good

[vapid pulsar]

Yes

[wintry matrix]

Yeah.

[vapid pulsar]

Just harsh tho

You have no compliance

[spiral crag]

o think there is one that lowers the resistance

[spiral crag]

ok

[spiral crag]

for how long tho

[vapid pulsar]

Forever lol

[spiral crag]

you sure?

[vapid pulsar]

Yes

[wintry matrix]

Until war is over.

[spiral crag]

ok

after war local?

[wintry matrix]

You could have set the Czechs on Civilian Oversight early.
Next run. You would get some nice manpower and more factories early.
Local Autonomy doesn't exist for you. You're not democratic.

[spiral crag]

well it started lowering

[wintry matrix]

Afterwards you could go for Civilian, otherwise like Local Police Force.

[spiral crag]

ok and i meant local police force not autonomy

[wintry matrix]

Resistance goes down. Yay.

Oh, ofc. Sorryy.

[spiral crag]

no worry

thanks for the help

oh yeah

another problem

how to do defeat the 4th international😭

[wintry matrix]

You're alone on that one, bro.

[spiral crag]

can wait for the uk to join somehow

[glacial steeple]

yeah

[glacial steeple]

better for first 3 years

[spiral crag]

Bro THEY DECLEAR WAR ON ME

[spiral crag]

it started going up

[wintry matrix]

Because you're in a war, yeah.

Peace time has lower resistance.

[spiral crag]

is it going to get worse if japans declares

[wintry matrix]

You're already in a war.
I don't think it would change more than it already does.

[spiral crag]

ok

[neat widget]

This is a horrible template

military police gives a 20-60 percentage suppression boost to cavalry based off of tech level

Each cavalry gives 2 suppression without military police

[spiral crag]

i fixed it

to that 40w

[neat widget]

Yeah

I was about to say that the military police company costs about as much as the cavalry itself, so you double the cost while only increasing suppression by the amount said above

With a 40-width, you increase the suppression value of cavalry by quite a bit

[spiral crag]

yeah

[glacial steeple]

hardness matters now btw

resistance is kinda nutty with new spirits and stuff

they only deal soft attack tho

[neat widget]

true

pull out the light tanks

[south breach]

Is there any beginner discords i can join

[sinful vessel]

I'm always at max air xp, am i missing something ? I feel it's harder to drain it with BBA (first game with it for me)

[left glacier]

A new Look for the wiki. Still waiting for the new doctrines rework to become available

[left glacier]

Have you added your army spirits with the officer corps?

[sinful vessel]

this ? yes

[left glacier]

Yes

Apart from that, selecting subdoctrines and designing aircraft uses air exp

[pliant condor]

it's normal

new system use less xp in total

[sinful vessel]

But you use it all ? I4ve designed the plane i need, but it's very cheap compared to the "vanilla" system

[left glacier]

No

Like what topazand said, the new doctrine system from No Compromise No Surrender uses a lot less air exp now

[sinful vessel]

ok ty

[glacial steeple]

actually theyre not IC effective

its mediums/heavies that do better

for easy management just give them a different equipment tag

[neat widget]

equipment tag?

[glacial steeple]

yes

little icon you can set

makes sure they dont reinforce into the wrong stuff

[neat widget]

Never seen it before

[glacial steeple]

on the right of the armor skirts in this pic

[rose cloak]

How should I split my production based on early, mid and late game

[nova gorge]

quick question whats the best garrison tempplate kinda struggling a bit right now need a little help

[narrow grail]

I'm a bit late but 3k support equipment is crazy

[wise star]

bro's economy is BOOMING

[narrow grail]

Mostly guns, then tanks and airforce if you produce then and then some tinier shit support equipment artillery aa

[wise star]

what should i get (yugoslavia preparing for 1941)

[patent brook]

Hmmm

Do whichever buffs your infantry and artillery the most

Armour production is harder as Yugoslavia

[wise star]

no idea what buffs i need tho

[wise star]

well yeah

[patent brook]

Your basic soft attack/defense

Preferably

U alr should have a small buff against Germany

“Anti German army” effect modifier

[wise star]

my divisions are 9 infantry 1 engineer 1 artillery 1 anti air 1 field hospital

[patent brook]

Ok that’s not bad

[neat widget]

Probably desperate defense but the artillery subdoctrine isn't that important

[wise star]

the thing is, i kinda dont have the hospitals yet

[pliant condor]

don't pick artillery or tank

pick assualt infantry

[patent brook]

Ah

[pliant condor]

for infantry subdoctrine

[wise star]

i already did the defensive one😭

[neat widget]

although why assault infantry instead of large unit tactics or the like

[pliant condor]

and probably desperate defense for operation

[pliant condor]

that's useless

[wise star]

like way back

[wise star]

i thought it gives a lot of entrenchment and def?

[pliant condor]

direct stat buff is better when it's 30%

[pliant condor]

no

it doesn't

anything that says "infantry entrenchment" doesn't actually give anything

when it says 20% entrenchment it's actually 0.2

same for hp

never pick anything other than assult infantry and large unit tactic

[solemn karma]

hey so is building mot/mech divs worth it now since the doctrines change?

[wise star]

💀

[neat widget]

I mean we're comparing 30% stat buff versus 20% stat buff and -0.3 combat width

the latter is mathematically better for infantry i believe

[wise star]

also im pretty sure i dont have the required manpower for large unit tactics

[pliant condor]

you do

[wise star]

i barely have the starting 22 units

and theyre gonna be in deficit

[pliant condor]

eventually perhaps

[wise star]

once i get field hospitals

[neat widget]

Is this 1936 or 1940?

[wise star]

started 36

currently 38

also um

large unit doesnt give any bonuses (except for -0.01 supply use) instantly, and assault infantry gives like 20% soft

[pliant condor]

i always pick assult inf because the buffs were a lot more frontloaded

you won't normally have full doctrine

also width reduction is worse than free stats

[wise star]

yeah thats what i thought too

i mean the doctrine mastery

im not getting to full mastery before the war cause its really slow

[pliant condor]

well you should train your whole army nonstop

to gain more mastery

at least get you 100

[wise star]

so, i swap out for assault

and then collect more exp for desperate defense

and then train nonstop

welp. there goes 100 army exp

[pliant condor]

are you low on manpower

[wise star]

0 as of rn i think

[pliant condor]

if not grand assault is much better

huh

yugo should have enough manpower

unless you are non aligned

[wise star]

💀

ok so

im currently only serbia

i got all the other states split

whenever i reunite them im gonna have much more manpower i think but for now im broke

[neat widget]

yugo is fairly low in manpower, especially with the breadth of frontline it has to cover

[pliant condor]

oh then you are fine

[pliant condor]

then you can go grand assult

just make sure to do the manpower focus and go up to limited

[wise star]

i already did assault infantry💀

[pliant condor]

no im talking about operation subdoctrine

[wise star]

oh

so

no wheelchair doctrine?

[pliant condor]

hmm

are you going to war in like 38

or

[neat widget]

I think they're waiting for the axis to come to them

[pliant condor]

oh

then probably do wheelchair

you would need more manpower if you go to war this late

[wise star]

yeah im not even considering war before i get attacked

[carmine thunder]

send help
