[hoary sphinx]

i havent really played the last 6 months

did they change where to train your ships?

cause I cant get my greek ships to train outside the aegean sea

I think I got it, you had to change your home naval base no?

[tawdry lava]

hooooww do you check this

[hoary sphinx]

you press O

to open the army tab

then near the X where to close the window

theres like a sheet of paper

it shows the equipment thats in the army

[tawdry lava]

fawwwkk

i need like alot more guns

anndd how do i get mmore guns!

[hoary sphinx]

military factories on guns, increase factory output and increase production cap, either through focuses or technologies

always do industry tech

[tawdry lava]

weeeeulp got allat running

guess i press play and wait

[hoary sphinx]

oh its your first time?

also dont forget to get the engineering bonuses

it increases your research speed makes getting technology easier

[tawdry lava]

yeah

it is

ivve been holding off this game because its confusing

but

im like reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally boreeeeed

im down 4 some backseat gaming

or wtv

i cant do anchluss rn so what else should i go for

well i cant do economic reforms either

so

[hoary sphinx]

try building some civilians, they make increase the speed of what you build (per building theres a max of 15 civis you can use)

try going military and sending volunteers to spain

[tawdry lava]

kay

i got like

a couple already

how do you send volunteers

[slate nimbus]

quick advice
always try for industry and engineering to be the first research you do, it builds a good base for what you wanna do later on

[tawdry lava]

thanks

[quaint sierra]

Hi All, any particular channel for country guides ? Looking for mid-game Iran options .....

[tawdry lava]

mmmmm what should i do here

[slate nimbus]

hover over each focus to see what effects you get after completing them, then you prioritise what you need first

fortunately those are not mutually exclusive so you can do one first and the other later

[keen hemlock]

how exactly do i save a design "in the game" so i can instantly apply it in another save?

[tawdry lava]

fiiiiiinallly got anchluss

i do

think i want artillery research stuff

[uncut rose]

Hi guys :)

Okay so im alright at the game, ik a lot of the basics of troop combat, naval etc

Im decent with Russia, but Germany seems like a totally different beast

how can I properly "learn" it?

Are there "meta" focus/research paths? I feel like I miss a lot of stuff

/ get invaded by the little entente a lot

knowing how to build a proper couple divisions for them would be awesome too, I usually make a defencive inf, and small numbers of medium tank divs

[tired moon]

how do you actually get a navy to naval invade the british

[fathom thistle]

add logistics to tank template and remove engineers from the infantry template

[trail lava]

build one, steal one, or just set up your naval invasion before you go to war and set it off the moment you declare war

[cold fiber]

I need help whit my overall gameplay I have 80 hours but Im so bad

[tired moon]

ykw that last option doesnt seem that bad

if the zone is uncontested can I just like go

[trail lava]

you need to set your navy up in the sea zones too before you decare war but the enemy won't have their navy up to stop you so you ony need 150 supremacy

[tired moon]

hm

i wish it worked like paratrooping

[subtle socket]

80 is considered on the low end for this game lol

by alot

[cold fiber]

I know but I cant take over france like

[tired moon]

I always manage to paradrop in britain but either its not in a port or i cant get my troops there in time and when i do they get encircled

[cold fiber]

I did it 1 time in easyü

[subtle socket]

it does u need to have 60% air sup to para and 60% naval sup to naval invade

[tired moon]

if the air is uncontested you can just paradrop

like if they also dont have their airforce there

[trail lava]

150 is not hard to get, that's 1 light cruiser and 1 destroyer, you can make empty ones if you want

[subtle socket]

if the navy is uncontested u can just naval invade i fail to see the point

[trail lava]

not true

you still need supremacy

[subtle socket]

u require 2 capital ships

literally almost every nation in the game

[tired moon]

and also how do I build a navy

[subtle socket]

has the ships to get naval supreme y

[trail lava]

for paradropping you can execute it without any planes in the air

[subtle socket]

in 1 sea zone

[kindred needle]

Are heavy naval bombers worth it if I'm trying to conserve manpower

[uncut rose]

im dead on 80 too lmao

[subtle socket]

not true u need the air to be 60% in ur favor in all zones ur going through. paratroopers just give u

supremecy

if theres nothing up

[uncut rose]

tysm :) What do I do about air and focuses?

[tired moon]

Im on 150 hours and the navy is still like chinese to me

[tawdry lava]

how do i get more man power

boy this playthrough as germany is kinda interesting

[tired moon]

increase your conscription law

[subtle socket]

conscription law

some doctrines

some focuses

[tired moon]

how do I build a navy

[subtle socket]

honesty navy is the easiest it could be in the history of this game rn just build torpedo destroyers and ull win

sp or mp

[tired moon]

sp

[kindred needle]

Design a ship (you may have to research modules depending on the country) and then go in the production screen and assign dockyards to it

[subtle socket]

in sp u prob can build lifht attack cruisers with armor and win too

[tired moon]

ill play mp someday

but ill play as historical switzerland

[subtle socket]

lol

[uncut rose]

may I ask where I can find some good navy templates? Ik how to actually control it etc

[subtle socket]

i recommend commonwealth when ur new to mp

[tired moon]

what is commonwealth 😭

[kindred needle]

Any of the british puppets

[tired moon]

wait what

[subtle socket]

just build torpedo destroyers or light cruisrs with the best light cruisers light battery

u have and best armor

[tired moon]

where do you research torpedo destroyers

[subtle socket]

do u have man the guns dlc?

[tired moon]

thats free

[kindred needle]

Or luxembourg, just be really really annoying by going communist for the weekly manpower, building max level forts, and spamming cheap divisions with line artillery

[tired moon]

man the

gun

[subtle socket]

i think ull come to realize very fast that forts and line arty are one of the worst things u can do in mp

[tired moon]

im looking straight at this and my stupid ass is saying where is torpedo 😭

[subtle socket]

used to not be

[tired moon]

so youre saying i research torpedo

put it on destroyer

[subtle socket]

yeah

[tired moon]

send destroyer to english channel

and profit

[uncut rose]

cheers :)

[subtle socket]

ur germany

u start with alot of tech for it

[uncut rose]

yup

[subtle socket]

once u have like 100

put in channel

[uncut rose]

awesome

[tired moon]

nah im playing as bhutan

[subtle socket]

on alsays engage never repair

[tired moon]

im just great at technology

[subtle socket]

in hoi4 ur not punished at all for dead stacking navy and ai never does it

they split their navy in small chunks and u can just go sniping them

[kindred needle]

Normally yeah

But you can still troll with it

Just like how mass assault wasnt good at all for mp but you could use it to troll as china

[subtle socket]

british puppets

[subtle socket]

??

my brother mass assault was the best doctrine for mp

until the change

[uncut rose]

What focus path is best for germany?

[subtle socket]

hist

for almost every major minus italy the most optimal path is hist

[kindred needle]

Grand battleplan was the meta wasnt it?

[subtle socket]

grand battle plan for pushing mass assault for holding

[tired moon]

so is this okay

[subtle socket]

with mass assault and air ud still beat gbp

[subtle socket]

max torp at the top

u dont need dept chatges

u dont need aa either just put air over it

and put a mio on the bottom right

u can also take off the fire controls i believe it lets u on destroyer

[twin kayak]

...

[tired moon]

so this?

[subtle socket]

yeah

cheap max torp

[tired moon]

after i defeat britain

ill come back here inevitably

because of americ

[subtle socket]

okay

just take uk navy

[uncut rose]

how do I follow it right/know what to choose/when?

[subtle socket]

with what ur building u win

[gloomy vector]

are space marines banned because they suck or because they are good

[subtle socket]

i mean u dont need to be down the final detail hist but just the path. theres a filter at the top of the focus tree to show u hist

[subtle socket]

they USED to be rly good

and still are decent for their price to output

but not nearly as broken as it used to be

just been a rule and no one rly wants to play with it after years of not playing with it

[gloomy vector]

are they better than regular tanks in sp

[subtle socket]

armor value used to be an absolute check if u pierced yes if not no and if u didnt ud deal 50% dmg

[gloomy vector]

like 50/50 spg mountaineer

[subtle socket]

yeah for sure in terms of stats but ai doesnt rly have good enough divs whered ud wanna max that out

when i used sp max id aim just for the amount of dmg to break and then max out speed

as ai cant react and u can just over run armies very quickly

[gloomy vector]

what level of mech should i research before i start producing

just the first one?

amtracs too

[kindred needle]

How do I actually get my naval bombers to sink capital ships

In the after battle summary its only ever light cruisers and destroyers that get sunk, occasionally capital ships get damaged but never sunk

Do I just need more planes to whittle down the enemy navy? I feel like 1.6k naval bombers (with like a fourth of them being heavy ones) is a lot tho

[kindred needle]

I think you want to get mechs as soon as possible because your tank divisions lose a lot of hardness and average armor from regular motorized batallions

[kindred needle]

Honestly amtracs aren't essential, normal Marines work just fine, but they can be helpful if youre trying to naval invade provinces that the enemy put tons of garrisons on

[uncut rose]

ohh smart ill follow that

one last thing, what do I do about air?

as germany

[austere roost]

it never was good

[kindred needle]

Unreasonable amounts of fighters

[austere roost]

they were never banned because they were laughably weak and only useful against vanilla ai which refuses to use units with piercing

[uncut rose]

oh damn thank you, just this?

[uncut rose]

do I tie them to an army?

[fathom thistle]

What else u want?

[fathom swan]

If I complete a focus that applies buffs to a state that I don't own, like the one italy has for naval bases in Africa, will it still apply after I conquer it? Something like Tunisia or Egypt? I don't know if I'm wording this correctly.

[kindred needle]

You can, that would be the easiest thing to do, sometimes the ai doesnt control them well tho

[uncut rose]

nah idk enough about air, ill just spam make that lmao

[uncut rose]

whats optimal?

never gotten air

[kindred needle]

If you control the planes yourself to make sure every air zone youre fighting in is green, thats optimal

[cold fiber]

is this good for 1938?

[austere roost]

Remove line artillery

[kindred needle]

Your line artillery doesnt need to be motorized, youd be better off using those trucks somewhere else

Also yeah line artillery isnt great anyways

[austere roost]

And for offense if you want to stick with inf use 36w

[uncut rose]

awesome thanks

[cold fiber]

thank yall

[uncut rose]

one last thing promise, you all have been so so helpful

construction wise, aside the usual railways etc for combat

how to I balance civs and mils when doing historical? does germany benefit from any other buildings?

[cold fiber]

shall I add line artillety or nah

[austere roost]

Check pins before you want to argue about line artillery

[cold fiber]

sorry

didint know

[kindred needle]

You can use math to determine the optimal amount of civs to build for a given country before you start building mils, but like eh, its not that important as long as you build some civs and then mils

You dont need to minmax

[cold fiber]

I do like this right?

[austere roost]

Build mils 3.5 years before war to maximize production

[kindred needle]

Do y'all have any tips for draining the allies' manpower pool as germany? Ive been letting the ussr attack my front line and rack up over 2 million casualties, ive been letting the allies keep doing D-days and then stackwiping their invasion force, ive been spamming naval bombers to sink their ships, but like, they always have more

[tawdry lava]

hmmm

what should i do

[lavish steppe]

i see nothing wrong here

[uncut rose]

calm thanks

[uncut rose]

okay awesome, are any things aside civs and mils worth building?

[tawdry lava]

yea ik should i be attacking anything its like 1937

[kindred needle]

Supply hubs, railways, infrastructure (especially on resource states), synthetic refineries if you dont have enough oil/rubber production, if you play into the really late game then eventually you might want rocket sites for stuff like nuclear icbms

[lavish steppe]

idk man build up more or invade do whatever you wanna do

[tawdry lava]

shrug

probably gonnnaa invade yugoslavia this is my first playthough

[kindred needle]

You should probably finish off czechoslovakia

[lavish steppe]

Nice this is your first playthrough

How well you know how to play?

[blissful depot]

how to win againist the ussr, im the german empire with infantry

[tawdry lava]

not alot

[lavish steppe]

Wanna play sometimes?

[fathom thistle]

They don't have infinite manpower it's just a lot

[cold fiber]

is this normal

[lavish steppe]

Holy stats

[verbal fiber]

my divisions symbols of the enemy disapeared how do i turn them on again i know its some sort sort of key combination but idk what

[lavish steppe]

Press m

[verbal fiber]

thanks

[tawdry lava]

this doesnt look good :/

uuhhh

hmmm

[lavish steppe]

Connect that supply hub

[tawdry lava]

which one

[lavish steppe]

The one with the x

[tawdry lava]

gooottt it

hmm

okay i should build a couple more because i want to encircle the

well

[lavish steppe]

Nice

[tawdry lava]

their capital is right there

[lavish steppe]

Aight

[uncut rose]

coolio, does it matter where I place refineries?

[kindred needle]

I mean theyre kinda expensive and pretty important bc your army, navy and air force all need fuel, so just anywhere that youre sure you can defend

[tawdry lava]

ooooh

i just annexed them like that

[kindred needle]

As Soviets I like to put mine in siberia/central asia like kazakhstan, as France I like to put them in brittany

[tawdry lava]

welp whats next

[uncut rose]

tysm :) one (actual) final thing, how do ik what to research?

[kindred needle]

If you can attack any of the baltics without the allies intervening that would be good for you, you could puppet or annex or wtv

But otherwise maybe just start ww2

[kindred needle]

It really depends

Generally keep one research slot always researching production techs, and make sure youre up to date on infantry equipment, but other than that it depends on your situation

[tawdry lava]

aaaanndd howd i do that

do i just

try to capitualte france

[kindred needle]

You should have a focus to demand danzig from poland

Historically they'll refuse and then you attack them

[copper galleon]

Hi guys

How do I increase the manpower in the field?

[kindred needle]

Deploy more divisions

If your only goal is more manpower in the field then just spam a really cheap division template

[copper galleon]

Aaah

[tawdry lava]

mmmmm

[lavish steppe]

Demolish em

[copper galleon]

Im german reich rn

Uh

How do I check how much infantry equipment I have?

I wanna do the one focus about befriending Czechoslovakia

And anschluss

[austere roost]

Refineries are for rubber not for fuel, base refinery is equal to 1 unit of oil

[copper galleon]

Ello?

Please, I’m new to hoi4

[austere roost]

Please follow bittersteel's Germany guide

[copper galleon]

what is that?

[austere roost]

Google it

Also you want to get sudetenland and annex Czechoslovakia later, not befriending them

[copper galleon]

I’m trying to integrate them

But how do I check for the infantry equipment?

That’s kind of all I wanna know

Like how do I check how much I have

[austere roost]

In your stockpile tab

[copper galleon]

Don’t get mad at me, but where is that?

Please don’t be mad. I’m new.

[austere roost]

It's the tab that looks like the book

[copper galleon]

OK, I found that

Now I have a new question

[austere roost]

If you don't know the controls of this game check the beginners guide in pins

[copper galleon]

What does no template mean?

[coral stirrup]

My friend an I are in a mp save, i capitulated him to get one of his puppets, now his manpower wont go up at all, how do we fix this

[austere roost]

What does the warning say

[copper galleon]

It says this it says you’re producing equipment that you have no division template for equipment being produced without a template armored support vehicle

[austere roost]

It doesn't matter

As long as you plan to use it in the future then it's fine

[copper galleon]

Okay

[austere roost]

A lot of the warnings in PDX games just don't matter

[kindred needle]

Unless your country has no fuel and youre expecting to be blockaded

Like germany

[austere roost]

Just trade with Romania

Or even better annex them

You will never get enough oil from refineries

If you think spending 15 factories for months to build one unit of oil is going to fix your oil problem then you have bigger problems to fix

[cold fiber]

What should I get here shall I just get anything does this matter?

[dense ice]

what tanks are you making

[cold fiber]

I will make spg

[austere roost]

You can get one that adds soft attack but that's not an important 150 pp to spend

[cold fiber]

what is the best division to fight soviets

[keen hemlock]

what heavy fighter design should i be using for the usa with jet engine?

[austere roost]

But like honestly the more important thing is getting your industry and production up

[cold fiber]

where did you find this??

[neat widget]

you can have two stabilizers in a tank?

[keen hemlock]

ye wait

[neat widget]

https://hoidesigner.com

[austere roost]

Oh sry it should be armor skirts

[cold fiber]

ty

[austere roost]

But like the modules are irrelvant

I don't use the modules I just add them so ppl who scream "breakthrough flames" will shut up

I use the extra ic for fighters and cas and scout planes

[neat widget]

BREAKTHROUGH FLAMES

okay, so, like let's do some calculations: you can have a 5 ic medium flame or a 13 ic medium flame, the difference per division is 15 * 8 = 120 ic
if you have 100 divisions using the medium flames you're using 12000 ic extra, which is equivalent to about 350 fighters

you could make the argument the extra breakthrough isn't worth it, but if you're on the offensive under red air i dare say it is

both are valid strategies, earlier in the game you would probably tend towards cheaper variants, but later in the game you'd want more breakthrough

[austere roost]

You should get scouts

Intelligence advantage gives you up to +15% attack, multiplicative

[neat widget]

i do, i don't think they cost that different though

[neat widget]

scouts only give you 20% intel, which is a 6% bonus

but yeah

worthwile considering you only need a factory or two of investment

[austere roost]

Also I have 15 support mod so I do have to spend like 3k ic per division on 12 supports

If I only had 5 supports I would likely put breakthrough

[neat widget]

oh hi that's me

[neat widget]

yeah you probably don't want that many supports since they will eat up org and ic

a 5-division 36-width infantry division costs around 3k ic

"they will eat up ic for little cost" - livadeia

[austere roost]

They're really nice actually

Still 32 org before barb begins

And 7.5k ic isn't that bad

[neat widget]

what exactly does your division look like with 15 support companies then

[uncut rose]

ooo okay thank you

[cold fiber]

good or trash

[austere roost]

Trash, I gave you the template to follow

[cold fiber]

I need for 1938 did you give me for that or 1940 I dont remember

[austere roost]

Then just use 1939 howitzer?

[cold fiber]

how do I unlock this

[neat widget]

maintenance companies 2

[austere roost]

That's 1939 maintenance

[neat widget]

i would remove the support artillery, support rocket artillery, support anti-tank (for singleplayer), and motorcycle police

[austere roost]

At this point it's more for collecting all the companies

And I play against buffed ai so I do need more piercing than aa piercing

[neat widget]

okay keep your at then probably

[cold fiber]

what shall I research here

[neat widget]

although maybe not even

[austere roost]

Also I want to add self propelled super heavy artillery but research takes too much time I can only start equipping them in fall 1942

[trail lava]

something not there

[austere roost]

Logistics and field hospitals

[neat widget]

please stop at some point

[austere roost]

And 1939 maintenance if you want easy maintenance module

[neat widget]

what kind of build are you doing

[austere roost]

Maintenance companies themselves suck but easy maintenance is very valuable

[neat widget]

yeah

[uncut rose]

training wise, do i spam the latter, and make like 12 of the former?

[neat widget]

there is one specific situation where maintenance companies are good

[errant chasm]

put sp super heavy artillery

[neat widget]

don't encourage them 😭

[fathom thistle]

pretty much, for start 3-4 tank divs is fine, it depends on your industry

[austere roost]

I did lol

[tired surge]

genuinely how longs does it take to get good at this game. im like 80 hours in and im still horrible

[austere roost]

But the main problem is as ussr I run out of oil in 20 days when I'm on the offensive

100 days if I do the oil agitprop

But like Germany is deleted in 30 days so it's not that big a problem

[errant chasm]

no shit you have so many vehicles in your division

[neat widget]

another reason why you should remove some supports from your division

[austere roost]

Some guys here would tell me to build refineries

[neat widget]

in any case you can build quite the bit of oil

you have faction goals that give you oil

[austere roost]

It's fine, the real constraint is mil XP. I need to find a way to squeeze more mil xp

[neat widget]

yeah

although it is pretty farmable

[austere roost]

100 days if after I max out the infrastructure in Caucasus

Like it's not as bad because AI will melt in front of your 5k attack units

[cold fiber]

wise guy can you give me a inf template

[austere roost]

18w with support aa and art

For 36w it's just the same supports as what I gave you except for maybe recon rangers replacing tank recon

[cold fiber]

shall I add companies?

I cant make it 18 .

[austere roost]

Use 9 infs

[wind canyon]

remove the line arty and add one inf

[austere roost]

Line art sucks

[wind canyon]

as well as add suport aa

[cold fiber]

this is good now?

[errant chasm]

add a support aa. Additionally you can add feild hospitals but disable the trucks in the equipment

[cold fiber]

whats aa

[errant chasm]

anti air

[wind canyon]

research aa its in the artielry section

[cold fiber]

I have it

[wind canyon]

it helps defend against enemy cas

[errant bear]

finally winning my first game 😭

[lunar notch]

how can i defeat chinas as germoney

[tawdry lava]

do i just call itt quits here

[austere roost]

did you forget to man prussia?

[tawdry lava]

probably

oh

guihhh

i dont wanna do this allover agiainn

but thats what you have saves for

[lunar notch]

my assault is going bad, how can i fix that

[errant bear]

heyyy so Space Marines weren't that bad actually. I managed to get the entire france before germany even invated norway xd also I invated uk with them before germany attacked ussr. they worked really well for me xd

[austere roost]

you're playing base ai. Anything works

if you want to do space marines build 9/9 spg/inf

[errant bear]

yeah the tank I have in the template is a spg. but what's 9/9?

[austere roost]

9 spg 9 inf

yeah and space marines suck because it's only useful against vanilla ai

[errant bear]

oh LOTS of tanks

[gloomy vector]

Is it worth researching auto loader

[austere roost]

but anything is useful against vanilla ai

[errant bear]

it's my first game give me something 😭

I did good with my navy too but one thing I don't know, should I put my fleet on patrol or strike force?

[tawdry lava]

weeulp

looks like im startin alllover again

[spring shore]

will this do against china?

[austere roost]

yeah but the cost is very high

[cold fiber]

Im stuck like this I cant push he cant too

[spring shore]

alright thx

[austere roost]

use this if you're 1937 japan

[spring shore]

thank you very much

[amber heath]

How do you survive as germany after usa comes to beat your ass

[kindred needle]

Check your supply

Also just nuke all their divisions, when you nuke a province all divisions lose a big chunk of their manpower and equipment, you have 76 nukes

[lunar notch]

i dont know how to use nukes 😭 🙏

[amber heath]

Literally press the nuke map mode

click a provinence

click ita gain

wait

explosionm

[kindred needle]

Wait when you nuke a province is the percentage of manpower and equipment lost based on the maximum for all the divisions, or based on the current fielded equipment and manpower?

Like if I nuke a province four times and each time I do 30% damage, do the divisions get destroyed or do they just lose like half their hp

[lunar notch]

do you need some special equipment for it or just boomington

[tawdry lava]

guhhh..

[kindred needle]

Heavy bombers or certain types of missiles

[amber heath]

Strat bomber

[lunar notch]

now i am become death

destroyer of chinas

chinese will see the red sun (my 76 thermonuclear bombs) in the sky

[kindred needle]

Oh thermonuclear bombs are even better they just instakill all divisions in the province im pretty sure

[lunar notch]

i do have thermonuclear bombs

this prank gonna be crazy 💀

[kindred needle]

Average post on r/AITA

Bro you can just delete their entire military by pressing some buttons

[lunar notch]

i love committing war crimes

i hope this action does not affect my divisions as well

[kindred needle]

Only indirectly, every state you nuke will get a "nuclear fallout" effect which reduces defense, entrenchment and speed by a lot

No damage tho

[lunar notch]

i wish i knew this in the beginning

i defeated every major world power by hand

i could have nuked them away

[tawdry lava]

whuuuuut caaannn i do here

[rigid sonnet]

how do i make the game easier ( Mods)😭 💔

[rigid sonnet]

add arti battalion

[amber heath]

dawg if civilian mode and console commands both arent enough

you are a lost cause

[subtle socket]

16 for holding 36 for pushing

make air

dont use line arty

its garbage

[subtle socket]

dont use line arty

[rigid sonnet]

i dont use console its just that the ai spams troops so i have 10 french inf against my 2 tank

[unreal abyss]

dont use tanks

[amber heath]

use good templates

[amber heath]

do not listen to this guy

[subtle socket]

if u have the right tanks ull push 1000 inf a tile

[kindred needle]

You're playing as Germany right?

You're 100% gonna want field hospitals, and if you can afford it, a helicopter batallion on top of that, because barbarossa is gonna drain your manpower so fast

Not even just from combat, from garrisons too

[subtle socket]

but tbh for ai u dont need tanks

aur and infantry win with far less effort

[rigid sonnet]

my tmps are like 8 medium and 8 motorizzed

[subtle socket]

air*

[unreal abyss]

tanks are mid just use at for tanks

[tawdry lava]

whart does

[rigid sonnet]

like 200 soft attack

[subtle socket]

ma brother u collab everything

[tawdry lava]

wheres any of this at

[kindred needle]

Field hospitals put a portion of your casualties back in your manpower pool, and they're also great because they keep your division's experience level when they take damage so eventually youre just gonna have tons of veteran divisions

[tawdry lava]

ahh

aandd helicopters?

[kindred needle]

You need to research a specific tech for field hospitals, and helicopters are a special project

[subtle socket]

im gonna be real honest with u helis are useless

[kindred needle]

Helicopters provide a bunch of different bonuses but one of them is also saving some of your casualties

[versed rose]

helis are incredibly niche and 95% of the time are going to be useless

[kindred needle]

I like them

[versed rose]

there's the funny necromancer switzerland thing ig

[subtle socket]

field hospitals are rly good bc of hp

[kindred needle]

As germany youre gonna have the ic to spare but probably not the manpower in the long term

[subtle socket]

the trickle back is not that inmporyant for manpower

u have infinite

[tawdry lava]

where are huhhh special projects at

[subtle socket]

field hospital 3s

ate tecunically also necro in xp

u gain veterency on them while pushing

good for tanks

[versed rose]

the hp + trickleback makes hospital goated for your pushing divs

also why indiv excellence is the go-to inf doc for tank focused gameplay since +5 hp on mech is criminal amounts of hp

[austere roost]

experience loss reduction is nice

also with field hospital3 you can beat germany as ussr with less than 60k casualties

[subtle socket]

read 2 msges down

and why would u care about manpower or casulties are russia and sp

[austere roost]

cuz for fun maybe, but it just shows why field hospitals are op now ever since aat

[subtle socket]

we have difference mentaility of fun

and tbh its been good even before that

but id never use it in roach mp

only on tanks

and bricks

on marines u cant even afford to waste the sup slot

well in sp u can do anything and win but if u wanna min max it then yeah

[rigid sonnet]

yall 1 question waht would be a good inf attacking template

or should i just use tanks

like youtubers have these insane 400 soft attack inf divisions

[lunar notch]

is 3 infantry battalions + engineer company enough for defending a position?

[lunar notch]

use tanks when possible, otherwise 9 inf + support arty + support aa + engineers should be enough

[austere roost]

are you saying 3 * 3?

[lunar notch]

no, 1 * 3

[tawdry lava]

hhmmmmmmmm

[lunar notch]

whats wrong

[tawdry lava]

shrug

idk what to 2 here this is my first playthrouughhhh

but

maybe i should stick with infantry

but i already did the focus tree stuff for the panzers and i feel like itd be a waste if i didnt use tanks

at all

[signal fern]

Why cant I whitepeace using commands

[molten plank]

i am trying to make a flame tank but when selecting it in the tank designer, it is burried beneath the other options like tank destroyer and arty, and isnt shown. i see it for a brief split second before it disappears under the other options. i tried scolling in it and it didnt work. what do i do?

[tawdry lava]

@sand quiver

backseat gaming

idfk what im doing this is my first timem playing

[molten plank]

hel pls

[full lodge]

its a mod

u cant

[molten plank]

?

[tawdry lava]

wow..

[full lodge]

u gotta buy dlc

[tawdry lava]

thats awesoem..

[molten plank]

i have the dlc

[austere roost]

no, the hp is too low

[lunar notch]

how about 2*3

[austere roost]

still no

16w is the limit

[agile knoll]

what to do right here i am in war with south american socialist republics i dont have a navy to get there and no air

[uncut rose]

guys what do I needa research to make this?

ion recognise a lot of the things

Is this the best german tank setup?

[stuck whale]

I'm late to the party but how do people get around Allies picking that Guarantee world tension limit reduction?

I'm trying to play non-Axis facist South Africa and I cannot get to Portugal without France or UK guaranteeing them at like 22% WT in 1937.

[austere roost]

you justify on a bunch of south american countries until uk can't get enough pp to guarantee someone anymore

[stuck whale]

I was afraid that might be the answer. I might also still try justifying both Spain and Portugal during the civil war, but that'll be tight for getting units out

[austere roost]

what do you not recognize

this division still lacks logistics company

[uncut rose]

idk what the things are in the combat section, what the three tank ones are on the left, I cant find them in the division creator, thats not a ss of me in game

[austere roost]

they're medium spgs and mechs in combat

in support they're assault engineers, medium flame tanks, field hospitals, armored recon, and you should also add logistics

you can see what you need to research in the third column of the stats tab

[uncut rose]

how can I create mechanised infantry?

[austere roost]

check your infantry research tab

if you can't get mech just use regular inf

[uncut rose]

one of these?

[austere roost]

yes, if you click on a tab it will show you what it unlocks and one of the two yellow ones unlocks mech infantry and the other one unlocks armored cars (which are meme equipments)

[uncut rose]

ohhh thank you

[austere roost]

armored support vehicles are special projects

and flame tank is in special project too. If you don't have gotterdamerung then it's in 1939 engineer

[cold fiber]

u still helping how much it been

[quaint harness]

What is the ideal width for general?

[silk berry]

Can i paradrop greenland with modern transports?

[spring shore]

idk... might not have enough troops...

[silk berry]

Idk if there is one anymore lol i just use 9 block infantry with an artillery then make it a 30 width with 3 artillery and ten inf later on

[silk berry]

Plenty more where that came from

[left glacier]

Typically 18 or 20 width for defensive infantry (9-10 battalions). 30 width for offensive infantry and special forces (15 battalions), and between 30-36 width for tanks (8 tanks to 8 motorized infantry and later mechanized infantry)

[silk berry]

Are 40 width tanks not the play anymore?

[austere roost]

that was before covid

also in mp 38/39 is best

but 36 is good too

[shy schooner]

How do I get Them back to Germany

[silk berry]

Hm do you still mix them with spa's to melt infantry

[austere roost]

no

in high difficulty ai mods and mp no one uses spgs

you build tds

but like there's also the countermeta choice to use special forces since hard attack maxxed tds deal low damage to inf

but even if they do full special forces you can just use tds with higher soft attack cannons

[obtuse anchor]

Tank destroyers?

[austere roost]

yes

[silk berry]

Im playing against the ai man

[obtuse anchor]

Do spgs then

[silk berry]

Cool

[obtuse anchor]

Unless if youre playing discord ai (sheeps mod)

[silk berry]

Nah just normal

[austere roost]

you asked about a mp thing

[silk berry]

The mp info is valued for whenever i gather the courage to play it or find people in the uk to play it with

[silk berry]

Ah i didnt mean to

[left glacier]

You should be able to manually move them to a port and then right click another port in Germany

[shy schooner]

Okay

And also
Why My soldiers lose experience
Some veterans become seasoned

[silk berry]

Did you change the template they use?

Sometimes they lose exp from extreme attrition

[shy schooner]

Yeah
I add 3 medium tanks

[shy schooner]

I see

[silk berry]

Yeah thatll do it

Wait what you added tanks to your inf?

[shy schooner]

Special Forces

They use advanced tank (2 years early)

Panzer IV at year 1939

[silk berry]

Have they worked??

[shy schooner]

Uhhh worked?

[silk berry]

Like done well in battle

[shy schooner]

Yeah

I invaded sweden

For tungsten

For more panzers

Half take half puppet

[silk berry]

Ykw man

If its working

Then i wont stop you

[shy schooner]

Oki

Earlier I used 4yp for these
Hope I didn’t waste it

This was before the invasion

[neat widget]

yeah probably

not like they're having many troops in greenland

so the main thing you want to consider is range

[shy schooner]

Why My soldiers won’t spread after I draw the frontline

[neat widget]

you must assign them to frontline

select the divisions, and then control click the frontline

[shy schooner]

I alr did

Oh it worked

Thanks

[silk berry]

Thanks

[obtuse anchor]

Why tf did i read frontline as fortnite

😭

[subtle thorn]

can someone send good attacking inf template

[glacial steeple]

its the ai

ive seen 50+ divs on iwo jima once

god knows what the ai does

[subtle thorn]

casey

do you have good attacking inf template for iran

[glacial steeple]

me

[subtle thorn]

yea

[glacial steeple]

livadeia is right here and youre asking me

[subtle thorn]

ooh

he is

[glacial steeple]

idk id spam out like 18w guys with only support artillery and then 32 width mountaineers with best available supports

liv is like the iran expert tho

and i havent played in like a month so

my opinions and words mean nothing

[subtle thorn]

@neat widget can you help out

[subtle thorn]

i tried that with ussr

[glacial steeple]

just gotta make equipment

care about battle modifiers

iran is not easy

[subtle thorn]

i dont have any power to do special forces cap right?

[glacial steeple]

why care

just make a few

[subtle thorn]

wich template?

i mean

wich support companies

[shy schooner]

How many divs do I need to invade Soviet?

[glacial steeple]

what is available?

ranger recon? engineers? fine on mountaineers

[subtle thorn]

i think about doing enginer altilery logistic anti air and recond or filed hospital

[shy schooner]

Some units still don’t want to

[vital geode]

If 1 person could do a world conquest with 1 division, it means there is no minimum requirement

I personally suggest at least 1 and a half army groups and an army of offensive units

[shy schooner]

Okay

[rapid urchin]

As long as Japan dosent take any tiles with forts in them is it possible for them to get deterrence? Via the faction stuff

[keen hemlock]

as long as you can build them it shoudl be possible

[shy schooner]

Why some of My divs won’t spread across the frontline I drew? I alr assign Them btw

[rapid urchin]

So how exactly to get deterrence?

[austere roost]

sometimes they don't if you're not at war with a frontline on multiple nations

[shy schooner]

Ah
I see

Thanks

[upper junco]

What am i supposed to do if im trying to pass the maginot and than france comes in and just doesn't let me do literaly anything, i've ran into this problem like twice already while trying to learn how to start using tanks and i just can't figure out what i need to do

[austere roost]

what is your air and supply like in the benelux

[cold fiber]

Im trying to make space marine in single player what companies shall I add?

[gentle crest]

Expert ai sucks and sheeps mod is genuinely just discontinued are there any modx that actually make ai challenging

[upper junco]

air support 90, supperiority 50, strat 60, log 50, and it says i need 44 more supplies in the region

[austere roost]

can you show your screenshot

[austere roost]

you should make it 9/9 inf spg first, and then add the support companies that I showed you

[cold fiber]

bro u are still out here helping ppl ur such a good man

[austere roost]

there you have it, no supply

what is your air like, open your air screen

[upper junco]

yh for whatever reason supply just can't get there, i have 240 guns a day 18 support 7 AA 7 Arty daily, and that's all my infantry uses

[austere roost]

supply is different

check your supply situation

[upper junco]

o

i mean it looks like i have an ample amount of supply hubs

oh shit all my rails are blown

[austere roost]

yeah but it's red

can you open that red bubble?

[austere roost]

is your air really green?

[keen hemlock]

Faction goal

[upper junco]

yeah, i mean i think so

[austere roost]

but your air was gray

and you don't seem to have a lot of planes

and your cas is being shot down like turkeys

[last arch]

that’s not space marine that’s just a tank division with infantry instead of cav/mech

[austere roost]

yeah cuz space marines are just bad

[last arch]

well he asked for space marines

and they work fine against AI

[upper junco]

so i assume my problem is that my air superity is lacking and that's letting them bomb the hell out of my supply lines making my units severyly under supplied

[austere roost]

yeah but you have to check your air zone

[upper junco]

is that different from the air map?

[austere roost]

no, but you showed me a gray one. What is it like when you let the game run?

[upper junco]

ooo okay yeah

okay well thanks man, im gonna run this back but actually build my airforce and see how it goes

[austere roost]

inf can push through benelux if you have supply and green air

copy the plane templates from pin

[rapid urchin]

Through a goal for sure but I’ve seen that goal give different things

Like for example Allies can’t get it if a country constructs one fort

[keen hemlock]

Wait what

[subtle socket]

luxembourgs a supply hub btw

[subtle socket]

u need to be on the right faction type many have it and not have 30 forts

[neat widget]

why are you attritioning and how did you not take out luxembourg

[upper junco]

my railroads when bye bye and france genuinly had a garrilian divisions there

someone already helped me out

[neat widget]

went bye bye? as in logistical striking?

[upper junco]

Yeah, like my entire railroad system got bombed

[torpid kite]

This is The Fire Rises Question: I am trying to get Day X path by losing the first European war, however, russia keeps losing. Is there a way for me to make so my allies lose? Thank you!

[gaunt vortex]

Is killing 5k air while playing Ireland good?

[shy schooner]

Why sometimes My divs won’t spead across the frontline I drew
Even when at war

I alr assign Them btw

[neat widget]

yeah

also what does your plane design look like

[gaunt vortex]

You can have the 1944 design in 1940 and 1940 in 1938

[neat widget]

true

but your bottom row modules should be improved

get survivability upgrades

[gaunt vortex]

It become too expensive tho

I was killing 200 German fighters with less than 10 casualties

[red mesa]

No trains moment

[neat widget]

true

The problem with advanced fighters is that they don't improve your design as much as engine 4, so ideally those two should be researched together
Below is a fighter 3 engine 3 design, and then a fighter 3 engine 4 design

Okay I see why you did advanced fighter research first, the generic focus tree is incredibly goofy

what this suggests is that you get fighter research boosts but no engine research boosts

this focus too

so yeah generic focus tree is so woky, 2 x 100% + 2 x 2 years ahead/100%

for light frames

[thin girder]

who wanna play millennium dawn wit me tmrw?

ima try n bring the Kaiserreich back

[paper tide]

What DLC do I need for the best Poland experience?

[shy schooner]

Until what year can We play on a playthrough? Is there a limit?

[keen hemlock]

no step back

[keen hemlock]

theres no limit, The game offically ends in 1949, which is when you get the ending screen

[vital geode]

No Step Back

[keen hemlock]

wait it might be 48

[vital geode]

Poland United and Ready is the free DLC that you might also need

[shy schooner]

Ah
So that’s why the road to 59 mod is very liked

[vital geode]

People don't have dlcs, and it gives focuses to trees

Also you can keep playing past 1948

You get an end screen and then you keep playing

[shy schooner]

Ah
I see
So I can play without the 56
Thanks

[left glacier]

[shy schooner]

Btw
Anyone know why My troops won’t spread across the frontline I draw? I alr assign Them and when at war with Poland They still won’t spread

[slate nimbus]

what would be ideal for cruisers i use for patrol no engage? (no dlc besides base game mtg)

[vital geode]

Send screenshot

[left glacier]

A scouting cruiser like this for example

It's pretty much just a cruiser with floatplane catapults on it for high surface detection

The higher the surface detection, the faster it takes to spot ships for your fleet

[shy schooner]

Okay
Lemme load to the save before war with poland first

[slate nimbus]

understood

what about capital ships?

[vital geode]

Odd, they should move

[vital geode]

I suggest you hold shift while making a field marshal frontline though

Distributes things evenly

Alright I have to head out, gl

[shy schooner]

I see
Will try it

[boreal ferry]

try n right click the general

[shy schooner]

Okay thankie

[boreal ferry]

o nvm

u have no cohesion

thats why

[shy schooner]

Cohesion?

[boreal ferry]

the one with the x

units wont move

[shy schooner]

OH

SO THATS WHY

thanks

[boreal ferry]

np

[shy schooner]

It fixed Them

[alpine dove]

is mass mob or gbp fat inf better?

[fathom thistle]

Mass mob is just bad overall

[red mesa]

They massacred my boy 🥀

[fathom thistle]

Mass mob R was peak

[red mesa]

If militia wasn’t relegated to like 4 tags it might have made up for it

[slate nimbus]

much obligued

also, how do i increase my autonomy if im a puppet?

[molten plover]

Does anyone know how to weaken uk's navy as germany?

[red mesa]

Airforce. Fighters and naval bombing in the channel

[elder kindle]

Hey guys, as Italy, is it possible to take both Bulgaria and Austria before 25% escalation? The closest I got was 20 days off before the guarantees.

[trail lava]

What are you trying to do?

[elder kindle]

Take Austria to delay Germany, I usually side with the allies to get Italian claims in France from the Vichy, I know that doesn’t consider Malta but it’s the fastest way to be on the winning side.

Take Bulgaria to have a bigger seat in the Balkans (I know Italy First and I can get allied with them, but what’s the point in allying when I can own them).

[trail lava]

When I played italy I just took the uk and france to prevent guarantees

Formed roman empire by 1939 with the starting Italian army

[trail lava]

May I ask how taking austria delays germany?

[neat widget]

honestly cannon 2 isn't worth the 3 ic cost increase

[elder kindle]

Taking Austria delays WW2 to 1940.

[elder kindle]

Italy doesn’t have that good of an airforce or a navy to contest Britain (without the help of Germany).

[neat widget]

almost 8% increase in ic for an 11% increase in air attack, but you also decrease agility by 2% too

[trail lava]

I paradropped into france from germany (without having germany in the war) and with the naval rework you can now start naval invasion the moment you declare war on countries

So you can just prepare the naval invasion from german soil (with military access) and go from there

[elder kindle]

Really? I had no idea you can naval off rip.

[trail lava]

Yeah it doesn’t give your enemies time to get their navy in

[elder kindle]

Dang. Hold on just a second. Should I replace my alpine with marines and invade with them or should I just use normal troops?

[limpid atlas]

How do I do this as Brazil? There are so many MIOs I can "invite", but I have no idea what focus unlocks the ability to do so.

[trail lava]

You have to plan the invasion and get naval supremacy before you declare war though

[trail lava]

I just use normal troops

The starting italian army works, I’ve done it a few times like that

[trail lava]

Maybe try searching landsverk in your focus tree

[limpid atlas]

Tried that already

Found it upon looking again

It's in the locked democratic tree I don't even have access to.

Poggers

[trail lava]

[neat widget]

i was just trying to get advanced fighters as fast as possible as Ireland

I got them in august 1939

[trail lava]

Damn

[neat widget]

generic tree is really wonky i tell you

i probably should have did better economy though

[molten plover]

Is it enough if i only deploy naval bombers?

[red mesa]

No. The allies will put up their fighters and shoot them down

[molten plover]

Yeah tought so

Sadly i barely have any to spare

[red mesa]

Fighters are the prerequisite to air ops

[molten plover]

Thx tho

[neat widget]

do you think i can get planes like this out by 1939 as norway?

[obsidian badger]

get some out yes, a meaningful amount no

[stoic ether]

does anyone know how this works?

[neat widget]

stops all trade between your countries and blocks the blockaded country from trading across seazones you control

[stoic ether]

Thanks 👍👍

[hoary glen]

Why are these CV fighters? What are you cooking?

[neat widget]

it's because of how norwegian mios work

[hoary glen]

You probably don't want to use self sealing tho, doubt you can afford it

[neat widget]

you only get a non-naval mio if you go along certain political paths

[hoary glen]

Also your range is super sus. Unless you get more from MIO soon

[neat widget]

self-sealing can probably be afforded

the real difficulty would be research timing

[hoary glen]

I don't know what kinda bonuses Norway gets tbh

[neat widget]

what kind of bonuses do you want to know about

[hoary glen]

Small airframe, Aircraft ( I think that's the generic air boost) and + research output

[thin nebula]

yeah park your fleet off their coast and insult them

[elder kindle]

I tried it, it didn’t work. Maybe I did it too late?

[trail lava]

when did you do it?

[elder kindle]

About 1938.

[trail lava]

I did it 1937 and microed a lot

where did you land?

[neat widget]

that's a better description for naval bombardment rather than blockade

[buoyant cargo]

Guys

how to make a strong paratrooper div?

[vital plinth]

When playing as a country that’s mainly hot temperature what do you do to lower attrition to not lose as many equipment ?

[slate nimbus]

how did i raise my autonomy points as a puppet?

[subtle socket]

send attache participate in wars

lend lease over lord

continious focus

civil warring most times just insta frees u tho

[left mica]

Hover your mouse over the free/raise autonomy button in government view and read the tooltip

I cant remember everything but you can send attache to your overlord, lend lease more advanced equipment and participate in wars

[merry sedge]

How do I defeat the british navy in the english channel? I can never get superiority for sealion

[rain bluff]

should i go for strat bomb america or cas?

[left mica]

As the us you can do both

[rain bluff]

idk ill be putting a shitload into a spg build

[slate nimbus]

send attache sounds nice tho rn i have very low political power

[slate nimbus]

it only tells me the effects i get for being a puppet which are abysmal lol

[left mica]

ur pretty much borked as a puppet either way

[slate nimbus]

indeed... shouldnt have lost as Italy but boowomp

situation was too dire

[left mica]

Hover your mouse on the upgrade autonomy button or something

Oh you lost as italy?

id restart

[slate nimbus]

im puppet now because why not but yeah now i get really sad political power gain, its almost as if i started from 0 in 1945

[crystal torrent]

What’s the best armour division to attack with as Germany?

YouTube aint helping me much

[slate nimbus]

besides i noticed this opens up something in the focus tree that does work into gaining independence but im fearing i might have to battle again this way which would be tragic given how much inferior i feel as Regno del Sud

[rain bluff]

If im doing the meta destroyer build, how many should i put in a fleet

[subtle socket]

@slate nimbus i would just restart tbh

@rain bluff against ai

ur starting navy wins

do as u wish

[subtle socket]

if ur playing sp just use infantry

tanks in sp is complete over kill unless ur doing it for fun then id prob go for medium spgs

[rain bluff]

No i know i want to know for my next game

[subtle socket]

as what country lol

against who

id assume in sp 50 of those destroyers along side some meat ships u start with would prob beat them bc ai splits their navy sm

[slate nimbus]

i wanna try gaining the independence first, otherwise ill just drop it cus im probably too inexperienced rn to make Italy work

since this is technically my second proper game ever

[rain bluff]

Mk

[rain bluff]

Depends, i have the build for the destroyers and wanna try it out but idk what ill play for it yet

probably somewhere in southeast asia

[left mica]

Nah you can just break free through the focus tree

[slate nimbus]

thats what im watching
didnt read the focus tree well cus it was already midnight but i might take a crack at it

but yeh i wasnt ready to be Italy quite yet

[left mica]

I actually find that annoying when i play against italy since its impossible to cap them short of paratroop

and with them as my puppet they can just break free and i can do nothing about it

so i have to waste 300pp to annex them

[slate nimbus]

funnily enough i never did any special force division of any kind

[subtle socket]

i mean i wouldnt say ur droppjng it bc ur too inexperienced

this game isnt like eu4 where u can always come back the tech is locked at a point ur all just bashing wals into each other

with 500000 different unit types on ur screen lol

italy as a nation has alot of easy expansion early

dec on yugo paradrop paris and boom ur basically rome

once u own france yugo and romania in 37 its gg u can kill everyone

[slate nimbus]

i know you can do that for Yugoslavia thru decision yea, i did, and i dont remember if i did for Albania too

[subtle socket]

no decisions

[slate nimbus]

didnt know i could do that for France but as i said i never really did train paratroopers

[subtle socket]

rush the focus for claims justify

and declare

[slate nimbus]

plus i took over a year in Ethiopia so that played against me

[subtle socket]

i mean u dont need paras unless ur doing a cheese like im doing

[subtle socket]

ah.

put up air planes

[slate nimbus]

i did, they were just so mid in that region

[subtle socket]

airplanes dont care about terrain

u put all of em without over stacking airport

i did, they werent a lot anyways lol

i did take action too late from Somalia so that one was on me

and the atrittion was particularly bad even tho i tried to always get some rail in the captured areas

[subtle socket]

double motarized ur field marshal send all the planes

send 24 divs north couple south and bash every tile with cas

ull win by march-april

[slate nimbus]

how do i do that one specifically? the double motorising part

[subtle socket]

click on ur field marshal on the top left theres a picture of a horse

if u click him it turns into motorizex

then doubke mot

meaning ur jot using cav to drag ur supply

ur using alot of motorized

[slate nimbus]

ah i see, but then id have to make trucks and rubber is limited at that point of the game, tho ill note it, i forgot bout that icon completely

id have to plan what i build there too because infraestructure gets built too slow with Italys low industry

[subtle socket]

putting 1 on truck max 3 will be enough fot supply everywhere

even if u build without rubber

the penalty is like 10-15%

u can make it whem without rubber

not to mention u start with enough for ethipia day a

1 **

[slate nimbus]

that is true, the problem is when i get too inside cus the area is too scarce and mountainous on top of that

so mmm i guess 2 on trucks should be fine even without the rubber

but then id have to send troops from Mainland to Eritrea, how much would that take

After peace conference is it possible to return a specific number of territories to someone and not all of the ones you own of their core ?

[trail lava]

I think you can only do this in the peace conference

[uncut rose]

guys im awful at this game and idk what to do :(

got 90 hours and ive won once

as russia

every other nation ive tried: Japan, UK, Germany, even Italy ive fumbled

[rapid urchin]

When does china annex the sichuan clique on historical?

[uncut rose]

How can I learn to get better?

I understand how to control the game

I just always lose every conflict

ie germany yesterday I suddenly lost all of my civs, meaning I couldnt fix a supply deficit, causing me to lose to belgium

I also had 173 divs on a fallback line which lost to russia

[humble flare]

in the same boat ive only won once as Germany

i have 50 hrs

[uncut rose]

at least youve won..

[austere roost]

follow bittersteel's germany guide

if you lost your civs that just means you lost all your territory

[shy schooner]

Will invading Czechoslovak early be a good idea

[agile knoll]

No

[red mesa]

probably got shafted by economy of conquest

[sonic iron]

does anyone at all know if the devs are gonna fix that annoying reinforce meme thingy

I have 20 fully organized divisions on one tile except 1 with no organization and then get pushed back the whole tile because of that 1 unit

[austere roost]

it's not a bug so they won't fix it

also you don't need 20 divisions in 1 tile

[sonic iron]

no but it was an example

in the past 10 minutes I have been reinforced memed off a tile 3 times

[austere roost]

again this is not a bug

[sonic iron]

it is unbelievably annoying

[sonic iron]

never said it was

[austere roost]

so how are you going to fix a not-bug

[sonic iron]

well there it happend again

god this game makes me miserable
