FRANCE JOINED A FACTION WITH THE SOVIETS

[zinc light]

Hello pissed, I'm dad

[hidden crystal]

DUDE MY MOUNTAINEERS WONT TREAD THROUGH THE SOVIETS

[zinc light]

Lmao

There's the Urals

[hidden crystal]

theres the winter too

i could use the winter as a advantage dude

[zinc light]

Just stick to southern USSR

Anything below moscow

[hidden crystal]

mountaineers are actually winter units too i think

rush moscow in winter ahh

[broken sky]

ahhh yess shkkk shkkk shkkk low supply sound in the kuban region

mwah

[zinc light]

You can make em Winter Specialists instead of rough terrain

[hidden crystal]

dude ill be treading thru the alps again anyways

ill be hitting austria to get to hungary

[broken sky]

you're not done with your swiss gameplay?

[hidden crystal]

then hungary to czech

HELL no dude

aint even 1940

[broken sky]

lol

[hidden crystal]

then czech to soviets via ukraine

[zinc light]

I gotta do my Papal super heavy tanks

But I cant Play this weekend

[broken sky]

Reintroducing the Catholic Church once more

Gotta liberate the Pope on a good weekend

[zinc light]

The holy modern musculus

[hidden crystal]

the soviets will be easy tho

[zinc light]

3rd crusade

[broken sky]

Man I just love the frikin Soviets so much

Its like 70% of my total hours in this game

[hidden crystal]

with how easily ive killed italys divisions for treading in winter i'll take the ussr in no time

prob like a year but wtv

[zinc light]

Honestly, I dont like it personally. Spending the majority of the early Game stabilizing your own country is Just meh

Also why I dont Like Spain

[hidden crystal]

dude thats why i dont play the USSR

[broken sky]

My brain goes mwah when I get to deploy 50+ tank divisions before

the

[hidden crystal]

soviet ai isnt smart enough to have tanks dude

every run of mine they just didnt have tanks past like 1940

[zinc light]

Soviet AI is supposed to do historical stuff, and historically they simply threw men in the trenches

[supple kettle]

hellow fellow fox

[zinc light]

OMG HAIII

[hidden crystal]

historically they also had very unreliable tanks

[broken sky]

Yeah this game really doesn't have good AI

[hidden crystal]

the t34 kept failing dude

yet it was so easy to fix

[broken sky]

And when I do Sheep's Mod, its the opposite and they have cracked meta skills like humans

[broken sky]

Opposite, actually

[hidden crystal]

i avoid meta

[broken sky]

the problem was the brittle welds for some

[hidden crystal]

yea thats reliability issues dawg

[broken sky]

Otherwise, it was a good tank that had its fair run up until '42

[hidden crystal]

the factories kept pumping them out

without checking

thats why shermans were better

[broken sky]

When it was showing its age, and therefore, had to be fitted with the newer weapons

[hidden crystal]

dude cus of this mexican junta im gonna get dragged into another useless war

this time with germany

thats why i just sent like 13 mountaineers (same ones from before the italy war) to the border

my plan will be to surround frankfurt get it then just smash my way through

if i actually pull it off istg

YO THIS IS GOOD

GERMANY HAS SO MANY HILL TILES

@broken sky @zinc light IM GONNA DESTROY GERMANY DUDE

with like another italian mountaineer

[broken sky]

By God!

[hidden crystal]

idk about any of u guys but i think austria is planning to invade me

cus they legit js created a faction

i think theyre gonna try and kill me (i have about 10 less divisions than them but mine are better trained)

[sudden grotto]

[warped hill]

germans had that too

later in the war with manganese shortages i think

made it more shatterable

i think

[hidden crystal]

yo guys im almost done with my swiss focus tree

poland legit just got into a war im revoking the guarantee

[hybrid galleon]

gaming

[hidden crystal]

ww2 js happened

[hybrid galleon]

Rooks mistake

[hidden crystal]

eastern europe vs the soviets

[mild plaza]

No modern politics. Thank you

[hidden crystal]

if i get dragged im gonna side with the soviets

[hybrid galleon]

Can I ask a quick question?

[hidden crystal]

resistance been lowered in my occupied tho

[lethal ether]

hoi4 save files are so messy

:c

[hybrid galleon]

Damn like Batman the mod comes in dispense justice in a way then dips

[hidden crystal]

my save file has switzerland controlling parts of the adriatic

no kidding prob the most normal thing in the save file is italy surrendering fast

[worn coral]

guys

for some reason my divisions arent doing what im telling them to do

i want them to invade the kingdom of siam

but they arent doing it

even tho it says 89 divisions assigned

[wanton ingot]

no supply

[ocean sable]

QQ

[lethal ether]

[slim nexus]

No man

[ocean sable]

[slim nexus]

[slim nexus]

[ocean sable]

But i want to play ww2

[worn coral]

[ocean sable]

Not with mods

[lethal ether]

???

rt56

[slim nexus]

Bro is like asking to you the number of your mother

[worn coral]

all of those divisions are on allied territory

[ocean sable]

Lemme look

[worn coral]

but none under my control

[lethal ether]

adds focus trees and tech tree until 56 to most countries

[slim nexus]

Show us the screen

[lethal ether]

reichskommisariats+ isnt reichskommisariating it 🥀 😔

[sudden grotto]

@everyone what Is a good achivement to do?

[zinc light]

Shaken Not Stirred

[lethal ether]

that one

like

you know

the one in which you gotta conquer stuff

[sudden grotto]

The One to coup with the seducer trait?

[lethal ether]

ykwym

[zinc light]

Yeah

[slim nexus]

Unistall the game and touch grass

[zinc light]

The one that was broken for the longest time

[sudden grotto]

Already am

[zinc light]

Greatest Achievement known to man: get laid

[slim nexus]

Did that

[sudden grotto]

Did they fix the version issue or do i Need 1.9 for that

[zinc light]

No clue, I dont Play on steam

[worn coral]

for some reason they moved up

but they are moving back down

[sudden grotto]

Based

[sudden grotto]

Are the two in war??

[slim nexus]

Call your allies to war

[sudden grotto]

Uk and france

[zinc light]

But my War Score

[worn coral]

they arent at war with uk and france

[zinc light]

I prefer soloing any war tbh

[sudden grotto]

THATS THE POINT

[lethal ether]

you cant invade from allies / puppets that arent in the war

[zinc light]

Since the AI is incompetent

[slim nexus]

Then good look naval invading from Germany 👍

[worn coral]

ohh

ok

thanks

[zinc light]

I did that?

[worn coral]

sorry

[zinc light]

No problem

[slim nexus]

Okay

Then your problem is solved

Wait

[zinc light]

Yup

[slim nexus]

You are not the cat guy

[zinc light]

Just hold the line with Block infantry and Pick your targets 1 by 1

[zinc light]

Definetly Not a cat

[worn coral]

i cant call them

they arent in my faction

[hybrid galleon]

The inevitability of Italy to mess up is wild

[lethal ether]

you never rely on ai in this game

[slim nexus]

Then ask for military acces

[lethal ether]

unless youre using mods to make it better

[zinc light]

As Germany you do Anschluss 36, Partition czechoslovakia 37, invade Poland 38, Weserübung 39, around maginot and capitulate britain 40, Finish USSR late 40

[worn coral]

i already have it

[lethal ether]

anschluss impossible in 36

early 37 prob?

[hybrid galleon]

Fr

[lethal ether]

unless u glitch

[zinc light]

It is very possible

No Glitch even

[hybrid galleon]

They were doing so good in Africa then just died

[lethal ether]

ah mb i dont have the dlc

[zinc light]

Make 1 slot infantry divisions, Turn all your Units into those, train 100 of em, Turn em into full infantry and off you fo

You only need the manpower, the "fully equipped divisions" Text is bait

[zinc light]

Cairo? I barely know her

[sudden grotto]

Can you chosen another One 💔 i play via Cloud gaming and i can play only on the earliest game version, tho the achievement Is bugged so

[zinc light]

Honestly idk, I dont have the achievements where I play

[mild roost]

are we getting a new dlc?

[sudden grotto]

Ye

[zinc light]

Most of them are either boring conquest or boring lategame stuff

[mild roost]

when?

[sudden grotto]

Sadge 💔

[sudden grotto]

Sono ig

[lethal ether]

another quick cashgrab from paradox

[sudden grotto]

Soon

[sudden grotto]

Nah i think it Will be good like gotta

[zinc light]

Like the "Launch a Raid on the USA from Mainland Germany"
You need nuclear weapons as Well as the Atlantikbomber Focus, both of which are super late game

[hybrid galleon]

Russia is being a pain in my ass

Just surrender already

[lethal ether]

ure wrong

[sudden grotto]

Already did that

[zinc light]

Graveyard was pretty awful

[sudden grotto]

Nahhhhhhh

I trust them

[lethal ether]

i love the game but u gotta admit paradox is just looking for cash </3

[sudden grotto]

Am i the only tò actually like all the dlc lol

[zinc light]

Honestly, I'm Just waiting for Echoes of The Shroud DLC for Stellaris

So that my favourite Game has more stuff to do

Biogenesis was fine... Behemoth crisis is boring

[lethal ether]

dlc dlc dlc dlc dlc dlc

how many dlcs are there

in total

in hoi4

[zinc light]

For Stellaris?
I think 17

[stark coyote]

Indeed

[sudden grotto]

Bro look at Sims 4. 1.5k$

[zinc light]

Like any company..?
That's the whole point

[sudden grotto]

Real

[stark coyote]

But obviously they have to get from somewhere to pay the employees

[zinc light]

If it wasnt profitable, they wouldnt do it

[lethal ether]

thats another cashgrab game

[sudden grotto]

The moment where socialism wide spreads lol

[zinc light]

Sims is TERRIBLE in that aspect

[lethal ether]

some actually care about offering quality content instead of 2 features for 20 bucks

[zinc light]

You need so many DLCs just to make the game barely enjoyable

[sudden grotto]

Nah you poor. Money issue

[stark coyote]

Workers Revolution 🗣️🔥

[zinc light]

Paradox does tbh

So does Ubisoft Mainz (Anno devs) and FromSoft

[sudden grotto]

Me so poor taht my wallet Is worse than a soviet One in 1920

[golden bramble]

Sozialistischen Welt Revolution

[zinc light]

https://tenor.com/view/title-la-révolution-the-french-revolution-intro-opening-gif-18505753

[sudden grotto]

Volksrepublik tyoe shit

[hybrid galleon]

I accidentally messed around with the manpower command and now I have 2.14B manpower 😂

The shadow organization kidnaps future soldiers

[zinc light]

Casually emplyoing 1/4th of the global population

[hybrid galleon]

Fr

[zinc light]

Maybe unemployment will finally be fixed

[hybrid galleon]

Don’t question why a Romanian soldier is named Joshua Evers

[zinc light]

That's a very austrian name there

[hybrid galleon]

Holy shit the allies have jet aircraft

[stark coyote]

He will be Joshua for Evers

[sudden grotto]

@stark coyote what was the achievement taht you tried with mughals?

[zinc light]

I Dream of such Special projects, but Most of the Times my Games are finished before I ever get there

[stark coyote]

All of them

[sudden grotto]

Dayum

[stark coyote]

I havent finished that run, I capitulated UK and France but I need to invade USA

[hybrid galleon]

I wish you can turn off special projects honestly

[sudden grotto]

Imam try to do a run lol

[zinc light]

Eh, probably Not the best solution. Like Most are useless, but some are pretty good Like radar, flametanks and helis

[stark coyote]

Gl, get 5xp asap to get Cavalry and Invade ALL of India

So you get an edge

[zinc light]

Just make an option to research em as usual

[hybrid galleon]

my brother in christ the US is activly invading Italy

[hybrid galleon]

i mean like a game setting

[zinc light]

Yeah, that would be fine
So many Games would be much better If you simply got more options for stuff

[zinc light]

Completely Blockade___

WHO

[hybrid galleon]

No clue man

[hybrid galleon]

Yeah

[zinc light]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-guess-kanye-west-we-never-know-gif-5417590

[hybrid galleon]

Also the Germans pushed back a D-Day, at least SOMEONE is competent

Welp I just lost a entire army in Italy

[zinc light]

In my games they never actually do a D-Day

It's Like they forget that naval invasions into Germany are a thing

Taking rome? That's Not a Problem at all, crossing the english channel? Hell naw

[hybrid galleon]

lol

It’s always the US that do it in my games

[sudden grotto]

Bet

[hybrid galleon]

All of the British gains in Italy got removed when the civil war began

lol

Why did god make Italy mountainous WHY

[sudden grotto]

Con la piuma sul capello 🗣️

[hybrid galleon]

Why is Joseph Goebelles the leader of Germany?

[sudden grotto]

Che a noi serve da bandiera 🇮🇹

[hybrid galleon]

When did this happen

[sudden grotto]

Germany can choose another Fuhrer instead of hitler

[neat kayak]

Germany is the worst and best ally

both at the same time

best cuz they help you

worst cuz they declare on a country once they get a wg

[hybrid galleon]

I hate the lack of supply in Russia

I just want this war to end man

Germany is advancing

FINALLY

[marsh ravine]

Build some?

[worn coral]

my game is so laggy that time is slowing down

[marsh ravine]

Have u closed down other applications/your graphics setting on hoi4?

[worn coral]

it was on borderless mode

[marsh ravine]

?

Idk how thats relevant

[marsh ravine]

If it is then sorry but this is all I do to make hoi4 faster

Can also do debug smooth in console

Can't remember if it needs and underscore tho

[gusty tendon]

First time I’ve ever seen the axis win

It’s prob my fault

I played as commie Argentina

They are just about invading turkey now, and Spain and Portugal joined the axis too

1944

[drifting grove]

Are we allowed to doomer post about how dogshit the new dlc is gonna be

[gusty tendon]

Genuinely the most crazy axis I’ve ever seen and this is fully historical

[worn coral]

you can never have too many divisions

[safe wing]

oh god the contrarian is talking again

[drifting grove]

New mechanics are 100% gonna be broken, the current chinese mechanics are broken

[safe wing]

saw your twitter and man imagine hating on the prequals in the 2020's

that was so 1990's and 2000's

[drifting grove]

10 bucks says it releases broken, another 10 says it isnt fixxed right away

[drifting grove]

I dont have a twitter account

[safe wing]

you did*

you abandoned it out of rage

when it changed to X which is a good move

but I still don't get the prequal hate in the 2020's

because we get it those movies were bad compared to the OT

but compared to the Disney Sequals

I would take the prequals any day of the month

no year

no decade even

my point is you're hate on the prequals is 10 years late

[worn coral]

guys

are nukes actually usable?

[drifting grove]

I dont care about star wars im here to hate on hoi4

[rustic furnace]

Its going to be goated

Its a main dlc

[safe wing]

and you have been doing that since 2017

[rustic furnace]

Made by the main developers

[drifting grove]

Correct

[rustic furnace]

For a major part of the map

[safe wing]

and thats been 8 years of your life

[drifting grove]

It took them 5 years to fix the french dlc focus tree

[rustic furnace]

Pretty much Gotterdammerung for asia

[drifting grove]

Gdr sucked is the problem

[rustic furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/ragebait-ragebaiting-angry-birds-meme-reaction-image-gif-10677440901312669429

[safe wing]

the only reason you think it sucked is because of the alt history

[stark coyote]

Profesional Hater

Probably certified too (?

[safe wing]

because you can only do so much in WWII so many times

NGL I love the Kaiser path

IK its not realistic but Europa Universalis has never been realistic either @drifting grove

Byzantium surviving and then reconquering the Roman Empire

yeah as much as I love Byzantium it would never happen

given how dead it was in 1444

[safe wing]

don't talk to him he has wasted 8 years of his life on hating this game

[stark coyote]

Oh

Ig that's a massive life achievement

[safe wing]

not really

thats sad

[rustic furnace]

God damn

[safe wing]

imagine hating a game for 8 years

[rustic furnace]

Cant he find enjoyment in it a little

[safe wing]

and having 12k hours in it too

[stark coyote]

I probably play EU4 since Im not in the mood to anything rn

[rustic furnace]

Even just the smallest little bit

[safe wing]

he hates the star wars prequals for some reason as late as 2020

yeah we get it the movies were a downgrade

but to complain 15 years after Revenge of the Sith?

[worn coral]

dude

my troops are taking forever to cross ussr

[rustic furnace]

I dont know anything about star wars

[worn coral]

i just want to start a war

[safe wing]

lets just say the prequals were medicore at best

but some fans really couldn't live with that

they almost drove an actor to off himself

irl

yeah...

[rustic furnace]

oh

[safe wing]

anyways the Big Al vs Covini score is 4-0 currently

[rustic furnace]

Damn

[safe wing]

He wants hoi4 to be realistic

But eu4 which was released 3 years earlier isn’t realistic either

[rustic furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-tanamen-gecky-incorporeal-gif-21102682

[safe wing]

Byzantium restoring the Roman Empire is a fairly tale

Especially in 1444

[rustic furnace]

Why do people want hoi4 to be realistic

[safe wing]

Because they think realism = good

It doesn’t

Look at Europa Barbarorum the rome total war mod

[worn coral]

come onnnnn dude

[safe wing]

It takes months to finish a single campaign

It takes 1200 turns to get to the Marian reforms

[rustic furnace]

Oh my

I feel like he would love Black ice mixed with the hoi4 in real time mod

[safe wing]

It took me a weekend to conquer Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy)

[safe wing]

He wouldn’t

He just hates the alt history stuff and that its not exactly like 3

[rustic furnace]

He hates alt history in hoi4 💀

Thats like one of the best parts of the game

[safe wing]

Yup

[safe wing]

The france bug he is referring too is Napoleonic France not getting a war goal Luxembourg

I can think of 7 more countries that Napoleonic France should get war goals on

Spain, Mexico, Portugal, USA, Canada, Italy and Yugoslavia

All of which were attacked or France had territorial claims on at one point

But Luxembourg

[worn coral]

guys

guys

guys

how do i start producing a nuclear bomb

[rustic furnace]

By eating lots of uranium and plutonium

That turns yourself into a nuclear bomb

[sudden grotto]

noice

[broken sky]

Having played Iran, I now truly understand why being flattened by other powers is not fun

[worn coral]

dude

i pushed the soviets back so hard

i didnt expect it to be that easy

[broken sky]

R u playing as Germany?

Yeah, the Soviets tend to never make good divisions

The AI

[worn coral]

holy shit

dude

im so cooked

the allies just betrayed me

guess i have to load a save and submit to austrian demands

[rugged lance]

AI in general never makes good divisions

I dont think I ever see AI Germany with any tank divs past the ones they start with lol

[worn coral]

dude

hoi4 is so fun when stuff actually works

[deep relic]

Bruh the game is so easy

[worn coral]

it wasnt when i first started

i still dont know how to use navy tho

[deep relic]

Its very easy

[deep relic]

Do you use dlc or not

[worn coral]

yes

but im germany

and my enemies dont have navies so whatever

[deep relic]

Bro i dont suggest using dlc if already dont know how to build a navy because dlc makes it a lot harder

[deep relic]

What

[worn coral]

Technically steam first

[deep relic]

Where is workshop

Below achievements at the top

[deep relic]

Aha

[pearl jackal]

Yep

[deep relic]

Thanks so this is where i get all of the mods

[heavy vigil]

Well they dont go for milutary expansion

Theyre just fascist

[lone sail]

which one joins the axis

[heavy vigil]

I think both idk

[lone sail]

i hate kemalism so im gonna try to do the militarist one

[digital aurora]

Also will AI try to avoid forts when advancing if possible? Because if so I have a lil funny idea for Germany when they start Barbarossa

[worn coral]

[heavy vigil]

Not exactly but you can try

[worn coral]

oh dude

[cursive portal]

Jk don't play that country

[heavy vigil]

Where are you from? :3

[worn coral]

tell me another one then

[heavy vigil]

Its got like better core pop than saudi

[cursive portal]

Palestine

[cursive portal]

Turkey

[heavy vigil]

Oh cool, i wish you well

[cursive portal]

Both are so hard to play

[heavy vigil]

Yemen is definitely easier of the two

[cursive portal]

Never tried it

I tried Saudi

And couldn't do anything

[heavy vigil]

Yeah they have much less supply everywhere, no civs, no connected supply and incredibly bad core pop

[dawn mango]

what do yall think abt the new paradox games getting more alike vic 3??

[heavy vigil]

Yemen at least has core pop and small borders

[cursive portal]

And you almost can't invade them

Every time I need to nuke them

[heavy vigil]

Realism xD

[cursive portal]

Where are you from by the way @heavy vigil

[safe wing]

Same

Though I should be in bed

But Im up playing total war Medieval II

[misty fossil]

Tip of the arabian peninsula

right at the red sea

oh wait

[misty fossil]

^

How does someone not know where yemen is

[low quail]

Wasted 5 hours on an achievement I can't get because apparently going Third Rome from Non-Aligned disqualifies you from Romanov's Laugh Last even though Fascist doesn't

F my stupid chungus life

[outer path]

is my airforce stat good

[misty fossil]

Yes

[misty fossil]

that sucks lmao

[low quail]

I will still continue tomorrow for the Tsar Bomba achievement but will not play Russia for a long time because of this

[heavy vigil]

howd you get a battle that long

[misty fossil]

60k tanks in a battle

in a single battle

[low quail]

I already disliked playing as them anyway so this was the nail in the coffin

[misty fossil]

thats pretty metal if you ask me

I mean

achievement hunting has always sucked

you can just not get them

its just not worth it for me

[cerulean orchid]

les go

[sudden falcon]

🇨🇳

[cerulean orchid]

🇫🇷

[lone sail]

The soviet bear is growing...

[stark coyote]

Conquer Moscow dawg

Aint a French Empire without beating the russians 🔥

[cerulean orchid]

i might play ts again and then invade the soviets

rn i dont really feel like doing it

espicially bc i forgot to build a collab

but ts is the first time ive actually done anything as france so it was fun

the uk was suprisingly easy to invade

[stark coyote]

Yeah, UK is kinda ez

[glacial oasis]

i

finally get TNO

[urban ivy]

just to clarify this

i need to own these states

or control them

[cerulean orchid]

control

[sudden grotto]

Control

Its written down

[cerulean orchid]

the way the requirements are written is kind of confusing to be fair

[sudden grotto]

"conteolled by the Imperial kwantung territories"

[sudden grotto]

Ig

[cerulean orchid]

tell me how it goes ive been wanting to try that mod

[smoky trail]

wow millennium dawn really is a noob trap, looks so fun then you play it and its just not

[glacial oasis]

then try it yourself

[cerulean orchid]

its really just economy simulator

and a bad one

[smoky trail]

I keep trying to give it a chance but the idea of it always sounds better in my head

[stark coyote]

Control

[sudden grotto]

I wanna speak to your manager 🗣️

[smoky trail]

tno at least has some cool events to read

[sudden grotto]

You border them

[fallen vigil]

oh

[sudden grotto]

Release altai

[fallen vigil]

thanks yall im dumb

[sudden grotto]

Altai Is enough

[urban ivy]

is one enough

or do i need all

cause pdx is tricky with this

never trust tooltips

ok i need all of them cause i control guangakigbnhofjdkfhbn*

[opal nymph]

I think some people were able to just get Taiwan from Japan and get it

[urban ivy]

i have it as well

all i miss is hong kong

[opal nymph]

Interesting

[urban ivy]

but british condom has big alliance

[opal nymph]

How many are majors

And do you have easy access to take out the British

Should be able to get Mediterranean access semi* easily

[urban ivy]

a lot

france is soon going off the list

and commie china too

so sweden will definitely be there

[opal nymph]

[summer cove]

Anyone up for multiple

[idle berry]

is BICE considered self harm

[dusky burrow]

Yep, that's nice

[idle berry]

wish me luck

im gonna lose to poland arent i

[slim nexus]

ussr feels the most like an actual war and not just map painting

the war takes a while so you need to stop and resupply equipment during the winter and then go for sweeping offensives in the summer

from the german pov though the ussr collapses like a house of cards and you win in a few months

it still wasn't very hard though i was only pushed out of 5 tiles in 1941 and that was due to poor supply

[urban ivy]

ou yes

[urban ivy]

excuse me it's a mountaineer that pushed through switzerland

[sharp sierra]

what are these little buildings

[dusky burrow]

Oh huh

[dusky burrow]

But you can drop paratroopers and then convert them into mountaineers later on

[mental plover]

You need supply connection iirc

[dusky burrow]

I did that once against the UK, and then tagged over the UK to save it

[mental plover]

To switch templates

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

Get that first of course

[urban ivy]

ok so

what i need for this campaign is

[dusky burrow]

I failed badly

[urban ivy]

get 16 oil in manchuria

fully annex japan (impossible)

get hong kong

[dusky burrow]

China's not cored, right?

If it is then it should take 2-3 years to build up a fleet and then wreck the Japanese

[sudden grotto]

United kondom mentioned? 🗣️

[sudden grotto]

Why not Just Mass encircle them and paradrop on Japan?

Its way easier than Building a navy

[dusky burrow]

Or that

Or that, but I think navy is better when Manchukuo has mainly steel

[sudden grotto]

Is this for the annex japan achivement?

Or Just normal game

[dusky burrow]

Oh wait there's a lot of aluminum in Sichuan

Yeah then paratroopers could work

[sudden grotto]

Korea: hold my beer

[dusky burrow]

My bad

[urban ivy]

it is almost fully cored

i dont have tibet yet

[serene inlet]

britain needs to be nerfed

[dusky burrow]

But you got the rest of China cored, no?

Is that what you're saying?

That's good

I was doing some calculations yesterday, basically with 5 dockyards you can build 1 decent capital ship in 1.4 years

[sudden grotto]

CAP

Buff it

I want to see "britain rules the skies" spirits

[urban ivy]

yes

[sudden grotto]

+20% agaility on planes

[dusky burrow]

50% dockyard output from research, 20% from stability, 20% from continuous focus, and 5% from limited exports since you need a lot of steel

[urban ivy]

that should be enough

ig

[dusky burrow]

Honestly yes

As long as they're good designs

[sudden grotto]

Historical manchu fleet

[urban ivy]

imperial kwantung territories

[sudden grotto]

Manchu

[sudden grotto]

Looks like Manchu to me

What da danes doing

madagascar actually

i d say this is taiwan 2.0

[dusky burrow]

Ryukyu islands

Rightful chinese territory (semi-ironically)

[slim nexus]

I've got USSR locked down tight atp now i'm able to shit out a full army of medium tanks and two army groups of infantry fully equipped with anti air and anti tank by 1941 and the germans cant do shit

I might have to try the other ussr paths now

[pearl jackal]

As a newbie I won the Ethiopian war as Italy by April seems pretty good for my standards

[lone sail]

Does anyone have a Cossack king cavalry division

[buoyant fractal]

a couple planes

[urban ivy]

1/3 done

[mental plover]

Airport workers on overtime

[serene inlet]

i fail to invade them always

idk i dont have any problem taking any country except britain

[urban ivy]

good enough

[serene inlet]

usa is way easier

[stark coyote]

How can you still be complaining about UK actually defending instead of learning how to invade UK properly?

[serene inlet]

Idk

it feels like i do things right but it doesnt work

[dusky burrow]

Just how many civil wars can we fit into this place

[stark coyote]

What are u doing?

Like, everything

[hoary mortar]

69

[serene inlet]

i'll do a fresh run and try to think of everything

maybe i should make tanks to invade on afterwards tbh

[brave steeple]

i just beat a random nation with no army and they had 1 state and i couldnt afford it ...

[stark coyote]

Tanks should go after landing, at least they are amphibious ones

[hoary mortar]

Yeah. WHat I did for my last UK invasion was spam subs and planes. ESPECIALLY NAVAL BOMBERS

[serene inlet]

yeah thats what i was thinking

[hoary mortar]

Beat them in either sea or the air, although both is best

[serene inlet]

should i go heavies or mediums

i dont evne have any designs in mind

[stark coyote]

Meds

[serene inlet]

i struggle on land usually

[hoary mortar]

Have infantry naval invade on, or right beside ports so u can move tanks in

[hoary mortar]

Mediums. heavy tanks can come later

[serene inlet]

i'm gonna try to rush the allies as soon as possible

i can usually get all of europe by 38

[hoary mortar]

I think my last UK invasion, I invaded across the entire southern coast and a few on the east too

[hoary mortar]

nice

but ye getting allies out fast is very good. Especially so USA cant get involved

[serene inlet]

what design for meds thgo

[hoary mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/dekeskui-dekeskoui-gif-20086751

[lone sail]

congo and ethopia should have access to border conflicts

[serene inlet]

i wish it was this easy

[hoary mortar]

Same, its honestly tough and nearly a gamble

[serene inlet]

its hit or miss

i hate invading them

[hoary mortar]

Yep. Island nations are always hard

[serene inlet]

i mean my last run was terrible

for some reason vichy france wasnt my puppet???

[hoary mortar]

dang

[serene inlet]

so it didnt make a front in africa and they had like 100 divisions on the main land

[hoary mortar]

RIP

Hopefully you successfully invade UK this time

[serene inlet]

yeah

[hoary mortar]

Anyways ima hop off have a good weekend cya fellas

[serene inlet]

good weeken

[cerulean orchid]

prolly fastest ive done ts

[urban ivy]

idk

what the f are the requirements

for this focus

[sharp sierra]

swiss so fun when you disabled by balls alone

[urban ivy]

but i definitely do not own hong kong

[cerulean orchid]

you just need to control it

[urban ivy]

and united kondom stole japan from me

[urban ivy]

dont control it either

and im not at war with uk

[cerulean orchid]

also btw how did you go about beating the rest of china

ive wanted to play manchuria but i have no idea how to beat them because they are weak as hell

[sharp sierra]

help japan in the war

u could go the loyalty side and then break free through autonomy

theres a focus which gives u cores for all of china

[urban ivy]

mountaineers

[sharp sierra]

japan will give you it in peace deal

[cerulean orchid]

judging by him being called imperial kwuangtang territories im assuming he didnt get any help from japan

[sharp sierra]

then ur op and u can do whatever u want

[urban ivy]

loyalty locks u as a puppet

[sharp sierra]

i remember breaking free

[cerulean orchid]

because youre named that when japan does communist path therefore you dont have them as an ally

[urban ivy]

or democratic

[cerulean orchid]

then again ig they got the navy that prolly helped

[heavy vigil]

hot take but the japanese communist path kinda sucks

[cerulean orchid]

what

[urban ivy]

half of it

and it didnt

[heavy vigil]

played it like once

wasnt that good

[cerulean orchid]

are you telling me giving up literally all of your colonial possessions and half of your navy and having to do a civil war isnt fun

[heavy vigil]

civil war is easy

just truck around after deleting army

[urban ivy]

you sir are a fish

[cerulean orchid]

why do they give random islands in the pacific to manchuria

that just legit doesnt make sense

[heavy vigil]

just all japanese colonies

you can avoid that btw

just win civil war without taking tokyo

[urban ivy]

i guess nobody asks why britany exists

[buoyant fractal]

they can try

[urban ivy]

how can they even ask

[buoyant fractal]

balls of titanium

[urban ivy]

2/3

[sudden falcon]

argentinan super soldiers in romania

as china im closer to stalingrad than the allies are to berlin

why dont i have a core in tibet

[fallen vigil]

5k loses to defeat france in 1937 LOL

[fallen vigil]

bruh how do you peace out with japan i couldnt cap them since i didnt have a navy

[buoyant fractal]

the art of paradropping

[urban ivy]

im LOSING MY MENTAL SANITY

[silk fern]

play nonhistorical and hope they become democratic or communist, that worked for me

[buoyant fractal]

yeah what about it

[serene inlet]

why tf isntvichy frace my puppet?

[buoyant fractal]

prolly a focus

[serene inlet]

which

[buoyant fractal]

idk

i said prolly

[cerulean orchid]

you dont puppet them

pretty much useless to create unless you really dont want the allies in french africa

[urban ivy]

i need it

to get the achievement

[buoyant fractal]

what achievement

[heavy vigil]

Youre like

[sudden falcon]

is this enough bomber range guys

[heavy vigil]

22/0 battleplan nation #1

Go 22/0 battleplan

[sudden falcon]

only has 2000 kilometers more range than a third of the circumfrence around the earth

is that enough range guys

[heavy vigil]

Cant hit new zealand

[sudden falcon]

it can from the japanese island

NOT sakhalin

it cant reach the us tho so its USELESS

[cerulean orchid]

airplane in usa: 🤮 👎 👎 🤢
airplane in china: 🤑 😍

[sudden falcon]

(it prolly can if i make an airport in the soviet island inbetween alaska

infact lets test it out

[buoyant fractal]

oh yeah

[sudden falcon]

we can hit everything except south america the contient and east us

butt if i remove navigation for a 6th extra fuel tank

what do commericial nuclear reactors do

[sharp sierra]

they may as well not even exist

im never having that in a game

[sudden falcon]

bro why did they add this lmfao

[serene inlet]

good tanks for like 39?

[sudden falcon]

get 40 org

or 30

[serene inlet]

41 is fine no?

[sudden falcon]

i have no clue

i mean

combat width

[serene inlet]

oh

40?? combat width

[sudden falcon]

41 org for a tank is more than enough

[sharp sierra]

why dont you deck the support companies out

use medium flame tank instead of light also

[sudden falcon]

30 org is sufficient for tanks

[serene inlet]

i cant put more but that was the idea

[serene inlet]

umm should i replace them

[sharp sierra]

yea use medium flame tank always

[serene inlet]

i alr started making lights

okay

[sharp sierra]

its just better modifiers and stuff

[serene inlet]

i think i might aswell do marines this run is better

more manpower more guns than last time

it was a mess honestly

i tried to alaric but vichy france wasnt my puppet so i declared on them and they joined the allies 💀

[buoyant fractal]

oh, fair

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[sharp sierra]

manchukuo achievements were rally fun

[urban ivy]

yea

2/3 i still need 3rd one T_T

[sharp sierra]

i was doing the swiss ones today and last night

disabled the dlc

[buoyant fractal]

im not good enough for achievement runs

i just play for fun

[sharp sierra]

the achievements are fun and most arent very hard at all

ive just seen and even felt this weird unhealthy mindset wher if im not playing to get an achievement im wasting my time

[gusty oracle]

I know that feeling

then I stopped playing ironman

[sharp sierra]

yea its terrible very terrible

[urban ivy]

more content pls it's 1943 and i ran out of focus tree

[buoyant fractal]

tf are they gonna do

[sudden falcon]

that focus is like

a few years old

in a few months the chinese japanese dlc drops

[urban ivy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[sharp sierra]

puyi is a god

[gusty oracle]

I had such a bad time playing qing china

[sudden falcon]

they should let regular china form qing

invading german owned soviet land makes supply hubs rarer than diamonds

[buoyant fractal]

seriously? lebanon as the faction leader? are you trying to make it easy on me?

[atomic grove]

if they do that they should make some way for puyi to become leader of china

[urban ivy]

mindless battleplan 0 encirclements

it wasnt even mass mob T_T

[sudden falcon]

if they're gonna have korea be a puppet in the new dlc (was occupied by japan) then they shouldnt care about historical accuracy

[urban ivy]

annexing is controversial

boo-boo people will cry about 0.5% inaccuracy

[sudden falcon]

i hate having puppets as japan in china

[clear dagger]

i have no mic and i must scream

[sudden falcon]

my entire construction queue is railways
