[hexed meteor]

theres alot of menus

idk what some of them do and i have like 300 hours

ssorry 885 hours 😭

[hexed parcel]

what the hell should i click i wanna finish this ass tutorial so i can kick some ass

im going insane

[hexed meteor]

ok so you need to orginize your navy

you see how each fo ru admirals has a 2

[hexed parcel]

yes, video clicks all his anchors

[hexed meteor]

that means they have 2 task forces each

@hexed parcel do u see mine

[hexed parcel]

thats how he has it

[hexed meteor]

im playing as poland so i have like 10 boats and you have like 80 though

but

[hexed parcel]

he selects all his shi

[hexed meteor]

ok so click on

these

hold shift and select all of them

[jolly musk]

yo anyone wanna play holy roman empire lowkey?

[hexed meteor]

wait actually

[hexed parcel]

why? he clicks on the anchors

[hexed meteor]

yea hes doing it the proper way

[hexed parcel]

he clicks that, like me

[hexed meteor]

its like eating alone and still not putting your elbow on the table

[hexed parcel]

(my screen)

[hexed meteor]

js click the x on all ur admirals

ima walk u thru it

my way (the chopped way)

[hexed parcel]

then he cuts to this. wtf did this mf do?

[hexed meteor]

my way does not work unless u've just started

[hexed meteor]

just click the x on all ur admirals

this should be blue and have a number after u do

[hexed parcel]

but i dont wanna do it the chopped way

😭

[hexed meteor]

its easy trust

and

[hexed parcel]

im learning the game, id rather learn it how its supposed to run

[hexed meteor]

it'll teach u other navy mechanics rq

[hexed meteor]

the top right is just for orginization

im having u delete all your admirals, which puts your ships into reserve

then from the reserve you dont need to do ti all at once

sorta

like lemme show u w my game

boats n shit

deleted admirals

and then i assigned those to an admiral

so i have 1 admiral with 2 subs

[hexed parcel]

let me see

[hexed meteor]

the next reserve is a submarine (for me)

heres the part u might get confused on

i put another strike force under the same admiral

but we dont need 2 strike forces for 3 submarines

so u click and hold the stack you want to move (ill mov ethe bottom) and just drag it next to the other 2

now its 3

[hexed meteor]

dont worry abt this for now

thats easy to fix

[hexed parcel]

missing equipment production

the tutorial had that, and then the message disappeared

didnt even explain how

[hexed meteor]

u need to build factorys nd then assign ur production lines and make sure ur trading to get recoursers

focus on the

navy part for a sec

if u try to do it all at once ur not gonna get any of it

[keen orchid]

teach me how to play the game pls, not a complete newbey, 200~ hours

[hexed parcel]

brother i have 30 minutes

im trying to survive

[hexed meteor]

the game is paused right

😭

dont have it running until u get everything sorted

[hexed parcel]

garlic i appreciate ur help but when you combine it with how overwhelmed i am atm and the steps u are skipping im about to explode

[hexed meteor]

where u stuck at

dont listen to the tutorial for this navy part

[hexed parcel]

bro the ship selection

bruh

[hexed meteor]

and im pretty sure i tried to watch that tutorial its ass

[hexed parcel]

i want to follow the tutorial

the correct way

[hexed meteor]

ok but

you'

re just orginizaing

the navy

[hexed parcel]

also

[hexed meteor]

the outcome is the same ur just doing it differently

[hexed parcel]

why does it have a red icon?

getting annoyed at all the popups without the game explaining what the hell is going on

[hexed meteor]

pause

the

game

bro

[hexed parcel]

its paused

[hexed meteor]

ok

what do you want to accomplish

you are not the easiest person to help, have you been sniffing glue or something

[hexed parcel]

i deleted the save

il loiad a new one

[hexed meteor]

what country

ill load a new one

and hep u with some of it

[hexed parcel]

italy

[hexed meteor]

ok so

[hexed parcel]

okay spawned in

[hexed meteor]

theres alot thats hapening

keep it paused for now

[hexed parcel]

il research

[hexed meteor]

research is self explanatory

[hexed parcel]

oil, contruction, machine tools and electricity

[hexed meteor]

do u want me to elaborate on any part of it

[hexed parcel]

yes

easy to understnd

[hexed meteor]

all ill say

[hexed parcel]

no i understand it

[hexed meteor]

anything circled in red kinda sucks unless theres specific conditions

paratroopers can be used but ive never used them

[hexed parcel]

il create an inteligence whatever

[hexed meteor]

here

after u research that next truck im pretty sure its mechanized

more expensive to make but they're better than motorized in war

[hexed parcel]

wheres that

[indigo kraken]

wait what is that

[hexed parcel]

i put this

[hexed meteor]

for tanks always use light tanks until like 1939-1940 then use mediumshit

nvm

wait

i forgot i have a mod

[indigo kraken]

yea

[hexed meteor]

ok nvm on research mine is prolly different

but u said u got it

[hexed parcel]

yeah

thats my start tech

[hexed meteor]

@indigo kraken are those times normal for vanilla

[hexed meteor]

do u get construction

[hexed parcel]

what

this is factory

[hexed meteor]

its the construction menu

[hexed parcel]

yes

i build factories

[hexed meteor]

yea

military factories make guns and artillery and tnaks

[hexed parcel]

on all 80% cities at max capacity

[hexed meteor]

and civ factories let you build and trade and some decisions/focuses need them

[indigo kraken]

ehm

mostly yes

yea it is

[hexed meteor]

whats next on notifcations

these

[hexed parcel]

okay i did some production

[hexed meteor]

put your small arms at the top

[hexed parcel]

i removed tanks and planes and focused on infantery

[hexed meteor]

whatevers on top gets factories, and recourses first

[hexed meteor]

im so sorry you need to learn about templates

its truly terrible

[hexed parcel]

dont i want trains first

for aid and to get the supplies there

[hexed meteor]

well the thing is

you need way more guns than trains

[hexed parcel]

why would i do supplies first if they cant get tehre

[hexed meteor]

so trains can afford to be sidelined

i have personally never ever even gotten low on trains

[hexed parcel]

okay il put guns at the top

what does this mean

[hexed meteor]

when i do it this is usally how my order goes

[hexed parcel]

why is it in yellow

[hexed meteor]

i mean u can do it however you want

its whatever you need the most of gets the most factories and is on top

[hexed meteor]

political stuff might make it less efficient

[hexed parcel]

how do i solve that first one

[hexed meteor]

u dontn eed all of these

just have 1 fighter, 1 cas, 1 bomber

like theres 2 fighter '30 but you only need to produce one

[indigo kraken]

is in yellow because u dont have enough resources to make them

so its not going to be very efficient

[hexed parcel]

i dont have it researched it hik

[hexed meteor]

have what researched

[hexed parcel]

ah no i do

nothing

[hexed meteor]

Ok

[hexed parcel]

its here nvm

[indigo kraken]

is there any division template that is good?

[hexed parcel]

i stopped producing planes

i eliminated them with tanks

[hexed meteor]

ye but

you need them

so the game is telling u to start making them again

[hexed parcel]

idk all videos said that i have plenty in the early game and its a waste of produciton

[hexed meteor]

i mean ig

the notification isnt gonna go away tho

if u understand how to fix the notifications thats like 50% of the confusing stuff

[hexed parcel]

il leave it for now

national focus il put highways

[hexed meteor]

ye thats fine

focuses also simple

[hexed parcel]

next notification

no idea

[hexed meteor]

ok so hold shift and click that noti

i circled the planes onthe map

but once ud o that all o them should be selected

then just right click on an airbase

u gotta unpause for a sec to let the planes travel there

also this button

@hexed parcel how we doing so far

[hexed parcel]

i selected all of them except for the ones in ethiopia

[hexed meteor]

so you need to assin them a region, (or army) and a mission

rq lets skip a few steps

[hexed parcel]

should i send them all to ethiopia?

[hexed meteor]

the pink dude

assign them to an army

[hexed meteor]

nah i'd assign them to ur army

so they follow your army around

you can assign them to 1 place but unless ur like

fighting for airspace over the english channel or smth

[hexed parcel]

i clicked but it selected all the men

[hexed meteor]

you want them to be where ur army is

[hexed meteor]

yea but them in an army

[hexed parcel]

even the ones in ethiopia

[hexed meteor]

oh yea

ok so fronts rq

[hexed parcel]

do i group them all

[hexed meteor]

select all these dudes in somalia

put them in an army

same with the dudes in eritrea

[hexed parcel]

done but

[hexed meteor]

do yk how to make a frontline

[hexed parcel]

they are more than 24

[hexed parcel]

yes

[hexed meteor]

yea so personally it might overwhealm u a little but I'd put each unit of its own type with a seperate general and then put them under a field marshal

[hexed parcel]

i added giovani

[hexed meteor]

actually ignore that

u dont need to do alat its just gonna confuse u

[hexed meteor]

click on that 18

and put it in an army

[hexed parcel]

sure lets do that

[hexed meteor]

and then the 8 under a seperate general

[hexed parcel]

how do i unasign

[hexed meteor]

nah actually its a waste of time

against ethiopia its dumb

[hexed parcel]

il devide them in north and south

[hexed meteor]

and also i forgot at the end of the day all those different divisions are still infantry so theres no debuffs

[hexed parcel]

the 18 vs the 7 in the south

[hexed meteor]

u see how i have it

[hexed parcel]

ye but wait

i already asigned 25 soldiers to giovani

[hexed meteor]

ye u can just select them and reassign

[hexed parcel]

how do i send the 7 from the south to another general

[hexed meteor]

select them

[hexed parcel]

selected

[hexed meteor]

click the greenon the right

and it puts ur selected divisions under a new general

[hexed parcel]

ok done

[hexed meteor]

now assign them to the frontline in somalia

that general not giovani

[hexed parcel]

somalia?

ethiopia u mean?

[hexed meteor]

well you own somalia

the ethiopian/italian colony border

[hexed parcel]

a yes

[hexed meteor]

this (i unpaused and took a tile dont question it)

[hexed parcel]

so i just invade

[hexed meteor]

fix everything else first

ur not gonna unpause for awhile

[hexed parcel]

ok i didnt unpause

[hexed meteor]

yea you got that sorted

[hexed parcel]

north the same?

[hexed meteor]

same for these guys

[hexed meteor]

yuh

once you get large army and have like 24 tank divisions and 24 inantry and alot of units you put all the tanks under a general (up to the 24 limit) and all the infa with another

but if youw ant them to work together on the same front (the different generals) you assign the field marshal to the front line

select both of your generals now (hold shift and click on them, not the units) and then click the plus sign on the left of them

[hexed parcel]

problem

i accidentally clicked while doing an offensive line and now there are red lines going where i dont want to

[hexed meteor]

lemme see

[hexed parcel]

i clicked delete order but it just removes orders, not moving soldiers

[hexed meteor]

ohhh

[hexed meteor]

select them and click h

that means they are moving

u can telll them to stop moving tho

[hexed parcel]

worked

any other way? just in case

[hexed meteor]

or select them and click the tile they're on

basically telling them to move to where they already are

[indigo kraken]

im cooked?

[hexed parcel]

currently

[hexed meteor]

good

[hexed parcel]

u win

[hexed meteor]

now put em in a field marshal

select the GENERALS (not units) shift left click yk

[indigo kraken]

yea maybe

[hexed meteor]

and then green plus to the left of them

[hexed parcel]

and create army on the left?

[hexed meteor]

ye

[hexed parcel]

done

[hexed meteor]

this what it looks like?

[hexed meteor]

y got it

[indigo kraken]

what is this italy

[hexed meteor]

NOW u dont need this rn but

if you had like

3 generals and different types of units all on 1 front

you can select the fm

ima show u in italy

[hexed parcel]

now what do i do

[hexed meteor]

this is bad

[hexed meteor]

this is good

[hexed parcel]

why bad

[hexed meteor]

make sure to hold shift while using the field marshal so they arent sectionalized

[hexed parcel]

whats field marshal

[hexed meteor]

lowkey dont know i was just told to have it as a field marshal

[hexed meteor]

the dude ur generals are under

[hexed parcel]

so mine is bad or what

[hexed meteor]

no because its 2 fronts

so you have to do it by general

if its on 1 front but you just have multiple generals you do the field marshal front line

[hexed parcel]

dont really get it tbh

[hexed meteor]

wdym

[hexed parcel]

oh i do

okay but then how would you have the operation under the general if it was just one front

[hexed meteor]

?

[hexed parcel]

this is bad because the gerneral isnt commanding the two others, i mean it is but its devided bewteen armies

[hexed parcel]

here the general commands both armies direclty

is that what you mean?

[hexed meteor]

field marshal

the generals control the divisions, the field marshals control the generals

[hexed parcel]

oh okay yes taht

[hexed meteor]

ok so

[hexed parcel]

how do i put my generals in the order of field marshals

[hexed meteor]

ist the same

[hexed parcel]

(not now, just to be aware) because this is two fronts

[hexed meteor]

just select the field marshala nd do a front line

[hexed meteor]

ok i want u to do it tho so put all ur units that are in itlay under a general

[hexed parcel]

how would i change it

[hexed meteor]

not the ones in ethiopia just the ones u have in italy

[hexed meteor]

select the generals, delete their order, select the field marshal, make a frontline

[hexed parcel]

ohh okay makes sense

so you put the orders to the field marshal

[hexed meteor]

yes

hold shift

cause

if u dont

it does this

[hexed parcel]

il do it now for these to see how it works

[hexed meteor]

not rlly a big deal rn but later on when you have big ahh fronts if your tanks are covering half of the front and ur infantry on another half its not gonna be a good offensive

u want them evenly distributed across the entire front

[hexed parcel]

oh wow now its really bad

i justs tried

this only works for one front

[hexed meteor]

😭

[hexed parcel]

because it sends all your troops there

[hexed meteor]

yea

thats why on multiple fronts u need to use the generals

or just use two field marshals

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[hexed parcel]

should i make another group

for these

to attack aussa

[hexed meteor]

r u even at war with them

they so small js keep them under that general and micro manage it (manually redirect them)

if ur at war with both of them it should let u keep it on the same front line tho

[hexed parcel]

i dont know if im at war with them

[hexed meteor]

right click urself

theyll b red if u are

[hexed parcel]

where

[hexed meteor]

do it

again

it does thios for me

[hexed parcel]

where do i click

my profile?

this

[hexed meteor]

press e

sorry i have to get ready for work i gtg

[hexed parcel]

all good

thanks for the help

[spring locust]

What do i choose to make them puppet ?

I'm playing as philipine btw

I think there is a way to puppet them since with USSR you have the same event

[unborn mason]

Since the DLCs are all on such a big sale right now, I want to buy all the DLC. I also have the subscription, and for some reason steam wont let me buy the DLC. Anyone know how to bypass this?

[indigo kraken]

ehm

no idea

[indigo kraken]

u cant i think

[hexed parcel]

@glacial steeple sorry to bother but can u help me agian with the ships

ive been learning other stuff meanwhile

cant get over this

how do i go from the first selection to the second? exercising his stuff

[indigo kraken]

u mean to put all the ships together?

[hexed parcel]

yes

[indigo kraken]

i think u have to maintain shift while right clicking all the ships one per one on the menu, and then u have to put them in the first slot

like

yea i think is like that

if not say me

[hexed parcel]

where do i click

[indigo kraken]

on the first one

like

[exotic plaza]

hi im new to game (12h play time) how do i invade uk in this position? can someone join vc and help?

[indigo kraken]

this one

nono

[burnt acorn]

It seems that you have no navy so it is impossible

[indigo kraken]

yes

unless u can do paratroopers

and win them

[exotic plaza]

ohh

can i make navy

?

[indigo kraken]

yes

u can

u need ports

[jolly musk]

i need help finishing up this save

i wanna make the holy roman empire but if i declare on switzerland then the uk starts destroying me

if someone could me out in winning against the uk id be very grateful

[ivory void]

can someone host a mp game rq i need to check if im able to join

[hoary glen]

Either click the anchor and then first put all in the reserve, then select all and click on merch button. Else click all icons except the anchor and then right click one of the selected ones

[neat widget]

check the naval supremacy around the uk

set up your naval invasions

and then you can declare war on switzerland

point is to invade great britain

[brazen panther]

why the heck r my tanks just retreating from the naval port right ater they get to their destination?

anyone?

[dark thistle]

are your tanks on a diffrent frontline

[brazen panther]

they're on a fallback line

wiat

i just realized

[gilded plover]

Filterbypass?

[brazen panther]

oh uh

sry

[dark thistle]

what do i do

[dark thistle]

half my army is stuck in there

[gilded plover]

Just make shure it dosent happen in the future

[brazen panther]

how did u even put half of ur army on 3 tiles in the first place😭

[obsidian badger]

do you still get faction goal rewards if they happen in the background

and you didnt select it

[dark thistle]

peace deal

and they all went there because of exile

[brazen panther]

use tanks divisions to get em out

[crimson sentinel]

any ideas if this is solvable?

[dark thistle]

what

[brazen panther]

wait

[dark thistle]

im not in war

[brazen panther]

oh

i think ur cooked there ngl

[late river]

could someone recomend me a panzer divition for afrika korps?

i wanna invade afrika

i need a tank template

[dark thistle]

why do u want to invade africa

just annex all of uk and france

[obsidian badger]

larp

im guessing

[brazen panther]

puppeting is better

u get their navals

[dark thistle]

or that

[brazen panther]

and when they puppeted just send a huge lend lease

[late river]

ok

ill capture uk

[brazen panther]

(which lowers autonomy)

[late river]

i need paratroopers

[obsidian badger]

just get logistics company on division and fuel tanks on tank

[brazen panther]

u can just nava invade

[late river]

i have the 1936 naval still, i hate naval

[obsidian badger]

and dont send 500 divisions

send like 8 tanks max

even that will kill your supply

[late river]

should i change the trucks for mechanized?

[crimson sentinel]

Is there a way to put all these ships to patrol the world or whatever?

at the same time

[late river]

just 8 tanks?

[obsidian badger]

2-3 is alr - WHATF FTHE FCU

[brazen panther]

hackerman

[late river]

just that¿ç

[obsidian badger]

um

[crimson sentinel]

nah just integrating tons of countrys

🙂

[obsidian badger]

is this rage bait

[brazen panther]

btw just right click everywhere with the patrol mission

but its kinda useless

[late river]

just say yes or no

[brazen panther]

yes change it

[crimson sentinel]

too many things to click tho

[late river]

so ill send 8 tank divition to afrika

could someone give me a

tank design

im researching 1943 medium tanks

should i use those?

[obsidian badger]

@late river something liek this

[brazen panther]

coinciidence im on 1943

[obsidian badger]

alr ig

[late river]

im on 1940

[obsidian badger]

[dark thistle]

they are in the allies

ironman mode

[late river]

@obsidian badger

imma use 1943 medium tank, could you send me a tank design?

[brazen panther]

mate js delete ur divisions atp

[dark thistle]

no way

why do they count as encirceld

[crimson sentinel]

Got any ideas on how to manage this thing?

[gilded plover]

Nope

I almoast never use navy

[late river]

flowi

[obsidian badger]

take this but replace the cannon with whatever gives the most soft attack

[dark thistle]

atleast im not stuck alone

[obsidian badger]

add more engine preferably

i just took a random image from the server

[late river]

so?

[obsidian badger]

its a good design

though im a speed buff and love 9-11 kmh

[late river]

how much engine do i add

[neat widget]

more engine isn't really needed

also this is heavy td?

[late river]

im lf a 1943 tank

[obsidian badger]

overruns are great

[late river]

model

[obsidian badger]

is it?

eh modules are the same

it is

lol

whatever

[late river]

i rlly need a good design for this

[obsidian badger]

this one is a cheaper one

add armor and engine to your preference

[late river]

is good for 1940?

[obsidian badger]

just get easy maintenence and as much soft attack and you should be good

easy maintenence is behind maintenance support company lvl 2 tech

[lime citrus]

Still looking for help trying to reestablish the Gold Standard without a civil war (basically, I need help navigating this game since this is my first time playing it)...

[lyric agate]

Can someone help me?

[strange badger]

Is there a way to get how many tiles are in the front line? I need to know how many divs are needed.

[brazen panther]

counting them

[strange badger]

That's a way. Any better way?

[brazen panther]

dont think so

[obsidian badger]

you...dont need a civil war?

[brazen panther]

or u can expand a frontline of an army

[obsidian badger]

hell usa is

like

VERY leniant

[brazen panther]

and see whether ur army can fill in all tiles

(green)

or if it cant

(yellow)

[obsidian badger]

you can go communist and fascist

both without civil war

[brazen panther]

i tried to turn fascist and got crushed by a screaming bald eagle

[strange badger]

color of frontline? or tile?

[obsidian badger]

take it slower

you should turn fascist like

1938-40?

[brazen panther]

i did in 1939

[obsidian badger]

and take the lesser options

eh ill find a vid

[brazen panther]

i was just testing it for fun and then they revolted in new york california washingtone tc

[dark thistle]

why is germany asking for danzig in 1943

[brazen panther]

focus

[dark thistle]

what am i supposed to do now

[brazen panther]

danzig or war i think

[dark thistle]

half my army is still in russia

stuck

[lime citrus]

No. Only 2 or 3 focuses from the America First focus have the "capability" to start a civil war.

[strange badger]

got it. thx

[brazen panther]

np

[lime citrus]

Most of them aren't all that bad.

[dark thistle]

ill just click alt f4

i can't do this anymore

[obsidian badger]

from the videos i see

its literally as simply as

get fascist demagogue and get 51% fascism

and then do vote

around 1940

[brazen panther]

just give danzig vro

[dark thistle]

nu uh

my danzig

[crimson sentinel]

Finally EU unity

🙂

[dark thistle]

ill declare war

[brazen panther]

thennnn click alt f4

[lime citrus]

Well, I'm not only trying to do the Gold Standard path without a civil war; as I've already said, I need a helping hand to get me through my first time playing this game.

[dark thistle]

my 30 divs are gonna defeat the axis

trust me

[obsidian badger]

greece, iceland, britain, ireland

[brazen panther]

soo what does that hav to do with danzig ser

[brazen panther]

id recommend germany

u learn allthe basics

[obsidian badger]

usa is a good beginner nation as well

[brazen panther]

and it took me 100 hours to beat everyone on civilian (with tutorials)

[brazen panther]

yeh ik

[lime citrus]

Well, someone sold me on the idea that I can still play the U.S.A. as a beginner.

[brazen panther]

but ur kinda isolated

so u never learn army

[lime citrus]

And that's what I'm trying (and going) to do.

[obsidian badger]

well same thing for britain or something

and you send a ton of expeditionaries

so japan and europe

to*

[crimson sentinel]

🗿

[obsidian badger]

japan war

is confusing tho

[crimson sentinel]

also I somehow made it even worse

-13k coal

[obsidian badger]

mainly because ou also need to learn navy and because naval invasions are always so ass to do

but

you can like the second pearl harbor hits

use attu island or somthing

and just insta invade japan

[night zealot]

I dont speak hoi4 very well, can anyone explain me why i cant do this?

[obsidian badger]

im guessing you dont own the southern brazilian area near uruguay

which should be required

either that

or it still exists somewhere

[night zealot]

well its not higlighted

but ok let me try

[lime citrus]

Soooooooooo... help? VC chat?

[obsidian badger]

do you like save scumming if you fail?

[lime citrus]

Ah, nvm.

Both VC chats are full.

[obsidian badger]

give some random faction members, ones that didnt do shit all war preferably, most of your controlled territory

keep brazil just in case

then pause the game

then ask for all the territory back from all the countries at once

they will look at you not controlling much and give it all back

but they will likely keep 1-2 so if you have like 5-10 states you dont want have those be theirs

[obsidian badger]

both?

theres like 50

[brazen panther]

he means help lounges 1 and 2

[lime citrus]

Well, those are for the Helping Lounge.

[obsidian badger]

nobody is using random vetting or looking for mp servers

[keen hemlock]

[lime citrus]

Ok. First, I have to exit HOI4 on my PC.

[halcyon creek]

Yo what is the name for this support item i cannot find it anywhere in the support tab

[lime citrus]

[obsidian badger]

[halcyon creek]

[lime citrus]

Ok, if anyone wants to help me, I'll be in MP 1.

[halcyon creek]

Did it get a new icon or smth?

[obsidian badger]

make a design

[brazen panther]

thats a special project

[obsidian badger]

with the flame tank

[brazen panther]

not a research

[obsidian badger]

make a tank and put flamethrower on it

if you dont see flamethrower

then your command didnt work or somthing

[brazen panther]

maybe DLC

yeh it could be DLC

u got NSB?

[obsidian badger]

fuc i forgor

yeah prob

[brazen panther]

@halcyon creek u got No Step Back?

[halcyon creek]

I have all the dlc execpt the new one

the yt guide i was following did not mention you need to make a flame tank design...

[obsidian badger]

my question was never answered lol

[brazen panther]

which

[halcyon creek]

Ah yeah no i see it im making the design rn

[obsidian badger]

if faction goals arent selected when they are fulfilled do you still get rewards

because its annoying to time making 20 bases

[brazen panther]

dontthink sio but i dont have the DLC

[obsidian badger]

and always selecting the new goal

[light knoll]

no lol

[brazen glade]

how to adjust the army line on a field marshal front line

[crimson sentinel]

nvm I cored a lot of eu states went to civ eco and now I am sitting at a nice -10k coal

🗿

[brazen panther]

cooked production lines

[late river]

i retired 48 divitionms fromk afrika

if not... that was gonna happen anyway

[brazen panther]

just invade core france and britain

[tulip geyser]

Enough divisions to do the "Danzig or War" focus, and prepare to lose to Poland (Don't worry, we all do it).

[late river]

@fast cargo

if u wanna easy take over allies

u should do 10 divs at start (before game start) and make sure u have in production: 78 guns every day, 3.90 support equipment and 3.00 artillery equipment, sacrifice tanks and planes to do it

[obsidian badger]

is there a list of faction goals and rewards

[late river]

and after u do rhineland + reorganize wehrmacht, drop the troops

and then do ansluss in just 2 months

[late river]

then train 12 divs instead of 10, and wait till 1938 (get better army and more equipment)

then invade polandso fast, go to benelux and france

and justify on denmark atssame time while you invade poland

denmark will just surrender after u declare war

and thats all, u got europe so easy in just 15 mins of playthrough

[obsidian badger]

download sheeps mod

[neat widget]

you have to design a heavy flame tank in tank designer

[halcyon creek]

A bit late... its fine tho dw

[late river]

@neat widget

[neat widget]

mediu good too

[obsidian badger]

he figured it out

[late river]

any tank design for this?

i need a cheap / efficient one

[obsidian badger]

i gave u a very cheap one but ok

@neat widget how much u know about new faction goals

[late river]

idk if that's good

cna usend it again

[neat widget]

any flame tank is a good flame tank, but you should also add more breakthrough modules

[heady skiff]

As China should I just put my frontline on 1 general or should I actually take the time to manage the horde 😭

[glacial steeple]

china is really weak now

[heady skiff]

Ik

[glacial steeple]

you dont want to take a lot of losses its hard to recover both in manpower and equipment

[heady skiff]

I won against Japan last time but I felt like I kinda cheated

Because I held on until Japan declared on Communist China and the Ussr was guaranteeing them

So I feel like its cheating :/

[late river]

@glacial steeple

any tank design pls?

[tepid umbra]

btw, you don't really need advanced mediums

[glacial steeple]

hi

[late river]

sup casey

[glacial steeple]

its the same for every chassis

[late river]

i need a tank design

[late river]

wdym

[glacial steeple]

you just lose production efficiency changing chassis

they only give relia and speed

[late river]

i havent produce a tank so

[tepid umbra]

wait I thought they gave a bit more armor

and were more expensive

[thick vessel]

Is their a command where I can create a faction? if so, what is the command?

[glacial steeple]

ok they give armor

[tepid umbra]

doesn't change anything ig tho

[late river]

my first production line is gonna be this one

any design?

[tepid umbra]

these apparently

[tepid umbra]

isn't spart better?

[glacial steeple]

yes

its an old screenshot

[tepid umbra]

ah

[glacial steeple]

from the old days

[tepid umbra]

just use a newer one then

[tepid umbra]

like ts

[heady skiff]

When playing China when should I breach the yellow river

[late river]

yeah i need a good design one

[glacial steeple]

thzn id have to save more images

[vital plinth]

Yo why am I loosing my entire navry to to British lol ? I had the German , the French and Italian navry all together vs British and it’s all gone now lol ?

[tepid umbra]

it's in pins 💔

just use copy image

[tepid umbra]

british kept their navy up, you likely didn't

[glacial steeple]

no one looks at those

[tepid umbra]

I do

[heady skiff]

British navy is just that good trust

[vital plinth]

It’s single player

[tepid umbra]

like half of my info comes from their

[tepid umbra]

yeah

exactly

[heady skiff]

Wait Casey I got a question

[tepid umbra]

also if the italians didn't keep their navy up you prolly didn't have much to work with

[vital plinth]

So big difference if I don’t refit the battleships I take from France and Italy ?

[tepid umbra]

no

more like you just didn't make any better boats

[glacial steeple]

vic3

[heady skiff]

Alr

[vital plinth]

I didn’t have time or dockyards I just took all their navry

[tepid umbra]

casey buy me vic3

[thick vessel]

Can you type a command that is used in game can you use examples tho so I can truely understand the command?

[tepid umbra]

from what I understand

if you were germany

[glacial steeple]

is it on sale

or did that end

[tepid umbra]

type "eval_effect GER = { create_faction = "axis" }

something along that

[tepid umbra]

idk

oh it is

70% off

[vital plinth]

Hey can someone help me ? Does playing on lower difficulty decrease world tension production?
I’m following a guide but their world tension is 50 % mine remains very low around 35% most of the time and I can’t justify until 50%

And therefor expand my army

[heady skiff]

What should my garrison template be

(China)

[late river]

u should get facist

so u will be able to justify at 25%

[vital plinth]

Issue is I’m trying to form Holy Roman Empire so need to be non aligned

[late river]

then u might wait till WW2 starts

help germany tho

[vital plinth]

I am Germany 😂

[late river]

oh mb

i though it was roman empire

mb

which year u are on

and which countrys u alr got

@vital plinth

which year are u on

[vital plinth]

Its October 1939

[late river]

which countrys u invaded

[vital plinth]

I have France , Italy Belgium and some of Poland form focus demands

[late river]

why italy?

they are a free allie

[vital plinth]

Holy Roman Empire needs Italy

Or some of it

[late river]

ah yeah

but u in war with Uk

?

[vital plinth]

Not yet the plan by following the guide is to attack Poland and then uk joins

[late river]

u should make sure u got paratroopers to invade uk

[vital plinth]

Tho weirdly Poland supposed to give land first time and second focus they supposed to say no but they said yes to me lol

[vital plinth]

It’s ok I just naval invade instantly they don’t have troops parked yet at coast weird thing I notice

The issue is the world tension is low for me even war starts

[late river]

they never have troops at coast

[late river]

until they get at war

[vital plinth]

Because I can’t justify on others like Dutch or stuff so can’t form the Roman Empire

[late river]

jst do ww2

[vital plinth]

How or what do you mean ?

[late river]

send ultimatum to poland

at ansluss thing

[vital plinth]

Ah I don’t have that one I went the non aligned path

[late river]

bruh

[vital plinth]

But that’s not my issue again dude

The world tension is very low for me than the guide

Can’t make sense of it

[late river]

guide prob is bad or you did something wrong

every room is different than another

i did the same steeps in one but i just changed one smallest thing and it changed the whole game

[hasty vine]

u CAN STILL get it

[indigo kraken]

hi

[vital plinth]

How ?

[indigo kraken]

which one is better for militia?

[maiden lintel]

any that have stats that affect militia and why are u bothering with militia at all

just build inf

[indigo kraken]

because im playing with militia

[maiden lintel]

country?

[indigo kraken]

argentina, but im playing with a mod

so im anarchist

[maiden lintel]

civil war?

[indigo kraken]

ye

[maiden lintel]

ah

any that affect militia

not inf

[indigo kraken]

ok

u know the dlc that in the peace conference u can take the navy?

which one is?

[plucky otter]

By blood alone im pretty sure

[indigo kraken]

ok ty

[neat widget]

no

[vital plinth]

Il have to retsstat the game maybe im not sure what im doing wrong that is causing me to have so low world tension thoughout the game

[obsidian badger]

these faction rewards are like

actually inhibiting

if yo u wanna minmax

you need to not build bases and shit but instead segregate them so you can select and get rewarded for each goal

[neat widget]

it's because they screwed around with the world tension system and now everything doesn't produce the world tension it used to

unless focuses

[vital plinth]

Oh ok is it better to turn off the newer DLCs or find a newer video of Holy Roman Empire guide ?

[robust cliff]

what does faction leader only mean

i cannot for the life of me find anyone talk about it

[obsidian badger]

today i learn

the ONLY faction you should create

is industrial charter

i couldve gotten free 7-10% dockyard construction and military output from start of game

@lime citrus if u alive

dont make the mistake i did with usa

disband and create a new faction from start of game

make it industrial charter

[neat widget]

a type of faction rule

[lime citrus]

I see.

[vestal nymph]

should i naval invade the uk with tanks or should i naval invade with infantry? and how many divisions at a time should i naval invade with

since the cap is two now for whatever reason

[foggy junco]

whats a good composition of ships for a taskforce

IE 6 destroyers per 1 crusier per 1 capital ship

[subtle thorn]

is there a way to remove untisturbed economy as us

[neat widget]

search through your focuses

[neat widget]

every surface ship you have and no submarines, and then divide your submarines into groups of 10-15

[light knoll]

get into a war, or do giant wakes

i find non hist with the new dlc to he really good for it lol because the Philippines will just declare war on you giving you free war that let get rid of all of the us's issues

[subtle thorn]

i did focus war plan green

and how do i get into

war

wait for 100% tension?

[light knoll]

basically

yes

idr historical us mechanics. might need more than that

[indigo kraken]

how does the spy agency works?

[subtle thorn]

put spys in enemy country

do pills

[indigo kraken]

can i build all of them? or just one per line

?

[subtle thorn]

decryption

no

just go for

form department

suc pills

and thats it

decrypt enemy

[indigo kraken]

ok

[subtle thorn]

and only do colab goverments

from the missions

also do one localized traning for +1 spy

if you are communist or facist its good

for collab gov

[indigo kraken]

im anarchist

[indigo kraken]

ok

ty

[subtle thorn]

just do the lowest line there cryptology department

[late river]

W/L?

[stuck garnet]

Armor skirts

[late river]
