[urban ivy]

i have all of japan annexed

[sudden falcon]

any japanese islands?

did you ever join a faction?

[buoyant fractal]

world peace (seems legit)

[atomic grove]

how tf did u get britain as a puppet without going to war with usa

[cerulean orchid]

kill them before usa joins

also maybe alt history game

bc usa has canada for some reason

[sudden falcon]

stalingrad was liberated by CHINESE forces

[sudden falcon]

i have to get a field marshal to lvl 9 and a general to lvl 9

its 1947 and they're at lvl 7 and lvl 6

[sharp sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/zhukov-gif-20082782

[atomic grove]

thats the thing

u cant

itll be much harder to kill japan if u try to kill japan before japan declares war on usa

[serene inlet]

finally something successful in my life

tbh i naval invaded britain before but lately its gotten hard

i realized i didn't even think of alot of things like moving my planes or doing the sea lion focus but i still beat them

tbh it was the tanks

[atomic grove]

wdym before

pre 2023?

[serene inlet]

no a few months ago

it was so much easier

[sharp sierra]

gotteranderung

[serene inlet]

i remember paratrooping britain with hungaryu

lol

[atomic grove]

it never changed

[vital quest]

Götterdämmerung

[serene inlet]

idk

isnt there a dlcthat could change it

[sharp sierra]

botteradmerung

[atomic grove]

idk if gotterdammerung affects british ai

[serene inlet]

i got all dlc recently

[sharp sierra]

it does

a lot

[atomic grove]

oh i see

[vital quest]

It's a free update i think not dlc

[atomic grove]

i thought it was an official ipdate

[serene inlet]

yeah tanks is the key to invading britain

[sharp sierra]

thats also why you see britain suez canal often against italy in the early war

[serene inlet]

400 soft attack mediums

[atomic grove]

that changed british ai

[atomic grove]

not really

[sharp sierra]

cause all their units are guarding the island

[atomic grove]

u can do it with either mediums or line arty

[serene inlet]

i mean thats what works for me

[atomic grove]

but i do recommend

[serene inlet]

i didnt even have air or supply

[atomic grove]

400 sofr attack mediums

[atomic grove]

no wonder u said its harder

[serene inlet]

and i just mined the channel + bombed all their subs

i had supremacy with 70 ships and they barely move their fleet

[serene inlet]

well idk how im supposed to have it

[atomic grove]

are you sure you bombed all of their subs and how do u know?

[serene inlet]

they have 2K fighters and im out here with no rubber

[serene inlet]

its an expression i didnt bomb all of their subs

[sudden falcon]

ok yeah but he had a starting level

[serene inlet]

but i bombed them for 2 years straight

colossal damage

[sudden falcon]

MY general was promoted from a division

why did they blow the suez canal

[atomic grove]

so u still got convoy raided then im assuming

[serene inlet]

yeah

invaded with 24 marines + 11 tanks

[atomic grove]

honestly the only solution is to only have 24-48 divs to invade

[serene inlet]

i had 35

[sharp sierra]

no

[atomic grove]

what template r ur marines

[sharp sierra]

thats a unit commander

[atomic grove]

im pretty sure

[serene inlet]

umm wait im still in the peace deal lmao

[sudden falcon]

we're in the alternate universe where china replaced the soviet union in the race for berlin

[atomic grove]

u couldve just combined ur marines and tanks

[sudden falcon]

this guy

[serene inlet]

puppet or annex

[sudden falcon]

top right

[serene inlet]

i tried on past saves and these temps didnt work idk

[sudden falcon]

theres an achievement for it

[sharp sierra]

yea i did it

[serene inlet]

i did marines whitout tanks

[sudden falcon]

oh

ok yeah but u invaded EVERYONE

[sharp sierra]

so

[sudden falcon]

i only took the chinese warlords, japan, and russians

[sharp sierra]

i have the chinese one too i think

is there a separate chinese one

[atomic grove]

because your tank deficit was probably too high

[sudden falcon]

lvl 9 field marshal

what do i put my mils on

i have a stockpile of everything

[sharp sierra]

yea i got that one too

just grind a general and then promote him

[serene inlet]

is there even a point in taking the british raj other than manpower

[sharp sierra]

why not

[serene inlet]

their resistance is so annoying and they barely have resources

[sharp sierra]

theres some factories there ig

[sudden falcon]

puppet them

[serene inlet]

nah full strength

[sharp sierra]

just wait 4 years and u get hella manpower

[serene inlet]

it just didnt work

marine + pioneer tanks is where its at

[sharp sierra]

from anexxed compliance territory

[serene inlet]

my tank divisions literally had +25 on coast attack

[atomic grove]

what was the template

[gusty oracle]

The strat for germany is invade uk

[serene inlet]

wait

peace deal

[gusty oracle]

and with tanks

[sudden falcon]

how do u get the warsaw revolt or whatever its called achivement

how many states do i have to get the resistance to what lvl

[serene inlet]

+35 on coast is OP

just flank them

[lone sail]

whats the best afganistan path

[sharp sierra]

finally letting up on the attacks

they have no one else to fight on mainland

i have bba disabled

so no swiss focus tree

[serene inlet]

swiss is so hard to take sometimes

[sharp sierra]

all the time

[rose siren]

Bruh 😭

[serene inlet]

is it wise to declare on USA with 1.7m fielded

or do i need more

[lone sail]

my pc just lagged

sorry about that

[sudden falcon]

mountains, rivers, shit ton of factories from basic focus tree

small nation too

[lone sail]

chat is this op

[sharp sierra]

well that certainly looks very good

dude germany is never even going to declare on the soviets

i could join comintern and call them in

thats what i did last achievement run

but it was an offensive war

this 1 is defensive

their equipment bars doe

[lone sail]

never nerf this paradox

[hybrid galleon]

I’m deciding to play hearts of iron IV first ever version

Can’t wait to see how scuffed it is

[sharp sierra]

show us

[quasi viper]

Belgium EU creation is so bust... Just can't get these countries to fricking say yes.

[gusty oracle]

its pure RNG

[quasi viper]

Hm?

[quasi viper]

It's pure rage inducing is what it is.

[gusty oracle]

that too

[misty fossil]

2.5km speed?

HOW ARE THEY SO SLOW

[quasi viper]

This should be fixed stat.

[gusty oracle]

reminds me of something

for a period of time not too long ago they completely removed dutch alt history paths on accident

[quasi viper]

Also, the UK being able to decide for the Czechs over the Sudetenland even though they are in your faction is BS 😭

[sudden falcon]

its called winter + siberia

and they are infantry

[lone sail]

wtf

[spring hedge]

bruh how do i make etheopia not join the allis

[celest dirge]

[celest dirge]

he said this, man i wish op just give up this game.

[spring hedge]

hall nah what did he even do

show the post

[echo barn]

some people just aren't strategically inclined, don't be an ass

[celest dirge]

yes, that why he shouldn't play for 3 years.

[lone sail]

[echo barn]

tbh new ai after gd is hard, i play since may 2020

he isn't awful, stop trying to justify reddit circlejerk

[celest dirge]

he isn't awful, but tbh, after 3 years and i haven't got anything from a game, then it bettter just quit, it just a game.

[clear dagger]

[zinc light]

HOI IV: Dis ability Edition

[hidden crystal]

soviets in ww2:

[clear dagger]

those are germans

[hidden crystal]

german ai late ww2

the german ai just chucks divisions at you when its losing

[warped flint]

oh noooo

[potent zenith]

[warped flint]

Decent casualty ratio

[atomic grove]

every ethiopian state nation's focus tree and aussa are quite literally the same

[slim nexus]

I never play minors they are so boring

[sudden falcon]

i dont think you like the game then

[slim nexus]

i do

caps lock

Minors spend the entire game catching up

[slim nexus]

not very fun i like experimenting with stuff minors cant do that

[warped flint]

I am offering the fins a new free house

just a small drive from where there at tho

[zinc light]

Ethiopia Puppets = Sultanate of Afar Tree

No unique stuff

[zinc light]

Meanwhile, average minor Power experience:

[slim nexus]

Minors are fun in everything except vanilla imo

[zinc light]

Since minors were mostly irrelevant for WW2, we get to do whacky stuff with em

Afghanistan: Play all sides, at once
Austria: Put the world Back to WW1 borders
Belgium: just unite everything 5head
Chile: funny button presses, America is one

[slim nexus]

Everytime i would play a minor it would end up with me trying to expand and then some major guaranteeing them or them joining a faction leading to a huge war that will never end. Thats why i wish hoi4 vanilla started a bit earlier

[warped flint]

hey guys

this is reasonable right?

[slim nexus]

Austria hungary be like

before ww1

[sudden falcon]

then you simply dont know how to play as a minor

china counts as a minor nation

[sudden falcon]

and look at what i did

[slim nexus]

Yeah but conquering the world as a major is more fun since you have more tools at your disposal

[clear dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/skinenr-gif-20761908

[warped flint]

What

it is right?

[zinc light]

That's Part of the experience? Most nations do lose guarantees at some point, and you can prevent them getting guaranteed If they didnt start with it

The Game isnt supposed to be "Steamroll everyone by '36"

[slim nexus]

Yeah i dont do that. The thing with minors is that you have to make the same build pretty much overtime since you are so weak

[zinc light]

Honestly, that is fair. You can simply do more stuff, it's much more fun to use flametanks, Armored Support and Tank divisions than the endless infantry spam

[slim nexus]

I love playing navy and minors cant do that

[zinc light]

https://tenor.com/view/begone-demon-exorcism-garlic-begone-demons-gif-15627834

[cedar crystal]

as it should be

[slim nexus]

Aircraft carries are so dope and thats why i love playing japan and usa

[zinc light]

"I Love playing Navy"
Literally No HOI IV Player, ever

[slim nexus]

Ok maybe i dont really love navy but i find war ships to be cool so i like building them and using them in battles

[zinc light]

Fun fact: Czechoslovakia, a landlocked country that is awful in every aspect, has a part of it's focus Tree that is only unlocked by having a shoreline

[warped flint]

why did they say no

well

[slim nexus]

Czechoslovakia is a really fun nation since you are pretty much a smaller version of france

[warped flint]

ill take everything by force

[slim nexus]

I think they have one of the strongest starting armies

[zinc light]

If you like bunkering down and being beaten Up for many many years then yeah, it may be fun

Holding against Germany? OK fine
Uh oh, hungary joins
Northern Front open, Poland gone

Pretty much a worse Ethiopia experience

[slim nexus]

If war breaks out because of sudeten they will have a civil war after a year

[zinc light]

No?
I lasted until 41 last time, they started in 38

[slim nexus]

I remember that being a thing

[zinc light]

Huh

[tepid edge]

the frontline is so dense my divisions can't even participate

[proven rock]

wild stuff going on

[zinc light]

Fighting their inner demons

[proven rock]

they forgot their meds

it were the brazillians

[pearl jackal]

I thought it was green poland

[zinc light]

Put a brazilian in northern Germany, they'll See demons

[pearl jackal]

Exactly what I was gonna say lmao

[proven rock]

i have not seen green poland to be sure but i got the habsburg prince in poland the family business

[pearl jackal]

Oh, I've seen green Poland a few times

Through civil war

[proven rock]

i mean it is litteraly the world vs player but without the mod

[warped flint]

The Great Trial will continue onwards.

[pearl jackal]

[pearl jackal]

Oh

[proven rock]

so yes this is the real trial of the gods

[pearl jackal]

Indeed

[pearl jackal]

The very important nations of Yemen and tannu tuva are at peace with u tho

[proven rock]

tannu tuva does not exist

[pearl jackal]

Nah it's just too strong

[zinc light]

Tannu Tuva is a lie made up by the USSR

[pearl jackal]

I mean its only recognised by ussr and Mongolia

And paradox apparently

[proven rock]

theory: paradox interactive is a soviet puppet

[zinc light]

Finland wont be happy about that

[proven rock]

also nothing is better the overrunning russian tanks with inf

[ripe slate]

You could look who owns PDX, I dont think its the USSR

😛

[pearl jackal]

Yeah probably

[urban ivy]

yea

[proven rock]

hmmm. you might be right

[urban ivy]

chinification

tencent

[inland niche]

So not USSR but Sweden

[proven rock]

by the way what is the best tank for singel player and what is the design for it

[trim pike]

Yes

Maybe thats why china dlc

[urban ivy]

no

thats why core tibet dlc

also they should REWRITE what coring actually dose

does*

and make countries able to CORE TERRITORY EVEN IF IT S NOT HISTORICAL CLAIM WHATSOEVER

cause u can definitely core territories through mass deportation

[urban ivy]

inter war medium tank

[lethal ether]

whats the point of it then

spread out your population?

[urban ivy]

medium 3 man turret, howitzer 2, radio 2, 2 x heavy mg, 1 additional mg,

[urban ivy]

100% local factories

[digital aurora]

I feel like if you get 100% compliance in a area for a long enough time you should be able to co-core the area

[lethal ether]

who gonna be working in the factories if u deported everyone

[proven rock]

any newer tank pointless?

[digital aurora]

Me, i will solo operate all of them

[urban ivy]

newer chassis doesnt really offer much

[inland niche]

how do i even design the tanks? I didnt figure it out in 400hours

[proven rock]

i am in the year 1951

[digital aurora]

I have never gotten past 1941, because germany breaks through my defenses and i loose hope in my game

[lethal ether]

fill the combat width, fall back to rivers and maintain air superiority

[urban ivy]

this is the "earliest good design"

[digital aurora]

Instead of putting like 5 armies on a singular defensive line i might split them up into smaller groups along different rivers and such so i can defend in depth

[urban ivy]

so what

go for as high as u want

[proven rock]

okay

[urban ivy]

u can start making inter war in 1936

and it doesnt require research

thats why i prefer it over others in single player

[proven rock]

understood

am i cooked?

[glacial oasis]

fun fact: TNO has 395 post thermonuclear war events

[proven rock]

i am going to bother you even more what would a good tank template look like

[urban ivy]

cheapest best one is the one i sent already

[proven rock]

sorry i mean division

[urban ivy]

.

[cedar lance]

hello yalls wassup

[urban ivy]

since it s singleplayer i d say skip the tanks and just put more mountaineers

u dont really need tanks

[proven rock]

it is just that i need a spearhead division do tear appart the enemy

currently it is just inf

[cedar lance]

i make all kinds of new Templates/divs as Estonia

[cedar lance]

as Estonia

so i have enough Divs for ALL fronts

[proven rock]

is this good template?

[urban ivy]

i literally sent the picture above

[proven rock]

i know

but it has mountaineers

[urban ivy]

so what

that s what you should use

if u dont use mountaineers, use 9 tanks 9 amtracs

supports: engineer, flame tank, hospital, logistics, rangers

also just in case u dont have any air

having green air and cas is more important that having tanks

[cedar lance]

is it possible to do like Real life templates in hoi4?

[warped flint]

The Russian horde approaches Germania.

[urban ivy]

yea but you have to look into what they looked like

[ripe slate]

To an extent

[cedar lance]

alr Mar

[ripe slate]

Real life post-war divisions might have like 8 types of support companies, all of very different sizes

[graceful loom]

Hey folks

Does anyone here have old world blues by any chance

[urban ivy]

u can't make a division that's completely identical

[ripe slate]

Irl the hospital section might be pretty large while the radio section is three dudes, just as an example

[graceful loom]

I was hoping to host a game

[ripe slate]

#1239926537512292362

[graceful loom]

Thanks mate

[cedar lance]

i create NEW real life templates like from fire and maneuver team to region theater

[atomic grove]

whats the most fun south american country

[rose tartan]

I want to go for my first Elite difficulty game to challenge myself a little bit more. I want to play with Germany and I want to go for historical games, so no cheesy exploit like Paris jumping into France. Just a normal boring way. Any tips for me? I want to go the most bad way I can go, so historical AI, Elite difficulty. I will Strength the Russians, the English, the French, and the Americans, so most pain it can be.

[sudden grotto]

Chile

[atomic grove]

which path

[lone sail]

argentina

[tepid edge]

i accidentally destroyed the union of america

[rose siren]

[atomic grove]

yeah

[atomic grove]

i did a successful world conquest as stalinist soviet union by like 1951 but it took like 1960+ to integrate most of the puppets i created

[viscid stirrup]

Yeah and i did a ukraine released from czechoslovakia world conquest

That lasted until literally the 80s

It wasnt fun without any focuses

[cedar lance]

[cursive portal]

Sad

[fallow grove]

Lmao

[cedar lance]

uhm

[fallow grove]

Anyway playing Afghanistan is pain in the arse

[cedar lance]

alr

for me estonia is also a pain in the butt

[atomic grove]

one problem: army is weak

[lone sail]

yeah but still

[atomic grove]

sure u get to basically have inf defense ebcause of terrain

but u cant counterattack

[lone sail]

cores on almost everyone is great

[atomic grove]

plus

all of your neighbours are pretty strong

except for iran

[atomic grove]

but how will you get em though

[lone sail]

your fascist, join the axis

[cursive portal]

Iran Iraq and Saudi are weak

[atomic grove]

how u gon get warscore though

u cant kill the soviets

[lone sail]

oh yeah

[atomic grove]

[lone sail]

i use player lead peace conferences

[atomic grove]

honestly

[lone sail]

i hate border gore

[marsh ravine]

yes they can?

airlion

sealion

coup if no dlc

[atomic grove]

i think the only way that this could work is if you turn off historical and just hope that either uk goes commie or japan becomes non aligned

[atomic grove]

no

[marsh ravine]

yes

spam empty carrier

supreamcy fleet

[atomic grove]

[heavy vigil]

You have funny irregulars

And elephants

[atomic grove]

no like everyone around u is stronger except for iran

[heavy vigil]

Nah

[atomic grove]

sinkiang might be weak

[heavy vigil]

Afghan is bloated af

but 1 tile on 1 tile is impossible

[heavy vigil]

If you go for the quami side you can do border conflicts against raj basically

Peace out and take states

Core pakistan that way

[atomic grove]

damn

[lone sail]

you can instantly get 24 of these whenever you want

[heavy vigil]

Itll leave you strong enough to take down india

uk will never surrender though unfortunately

[heavy vigil]

Ok so what

[atomic grove]

i think

[heavy vigil]

Who cares

[heavy vigil]

Or you can just leave it at taking paki and go west

[atomic grove]

it means youll indefinitely be in a war with the allies, and later the usa without a navy

[lone sail]

honestly id just use console commands after take india

[atomic grove]

thats what i thought of

[heavy vigil]

You dont need to 😭

Afghanistan is strong af

[lone sail]

fighting colonial powers without freedom at gunpoint is shrimply impossible to someone with a skill issue

[heavy vigil]

No??

[lone sail]

not enough to invade britain

[heavy vigil]

Ive done it

[heavy vigil]

Yes enough

[lone sail]

how

[atomic grove]

this is like finnish army's buffs that they took from another universe but with irregular infantry

[heavy vigil]

Just start beating everyone up 1 by 1

[lone sail]

you cant get a good enough navy as AFGANISTAN to invade britain

[heavy vigil]

Take pakistan, then go for iran maybe iraq

Go for ussr eco

[atomic grove]

howd u even get a navy

[lone sail]

iraq=britain

[heavy vigil]

You can world conquest so easily you have all the stats

[lone sail]

they guarantee them

[heavy vigil]

I know?

[atomic grove]

did u just defeat japan quickly?

[heavy vigil]

Thats why i said maybe lol

You can do that too

But like if big coastline you can just make a navy

Shouldnt be hard

You could also make an airforce

[cedar lance]

hello casey

wassup m8

[craggy dove]

why do I have red air when all my planes are on intercept and all enemy planes are bombing?

[misty fossil]

its because you are on interception

not air superiority

interception doesnt contribute to air superiority percentage, which in turn dictates whether your air is green, yellow or red

read the tooltip

[barren crag]

Hey guys can i ask you a qustion related to the upcoming DLC?

I wonder this will be a new season or a single DLC

[lone sail]

how am i not a major yet😭

[neat kayak]

Broken dlc

Best reason why

[snow rain]

40% irregular attack is pure madness

[neat kayak]

it's gonna be an expansion hovering the Pacific , Japan , China and commie china reworks

[snow rain]

not faction leader apparently, or not enough factories

[lone sail]

i have +50 percent

[barren crag]

Yeah but it will be just a single DLC or it will be a season pass?

[neat kayak]

it might be expansion 2

[barren crag]

Live we had with germany rework

[lone sail]

and +40 percent cavalry attack

[barren crag]

Ooo thats would be great i hope USA will be included in the new season like what happens with stellaris Psionic and bio rework in a single season

[neat kayak]

Usa won't be reworked in this dlc

mark my words

[barren crag]

I know

but i mean to be part of the new season pass

thats what i wonder

[neat kayak]

and the second one i bet will include the rest of Europa or some American country pack

if it's a bundle like gdg and Goe

[barren crag]

Yeah new focus + reworks like we what with gdg

[neat kayak]

Gdg was a good addition

but raids weren't necessary now imo

But the focuses are good

belgium and congo are a bit weak

but still fun

at least belgium

Austria is my long lost love

[barren crag]

the czechs, romania,yugoslavia and netherlands should be reworked imo

[neat kayak]

Netherlands are good

[barren crag]

Really?

[neat kayak]

MtG was pdx peak

yeah

have you ever played the dutch?

[barren crag]

How about the majors like USA, France and UK?

[barren crag]

Not really

[neat kayak]

Dude you missed a gem of a country

go and play the dutch

[uneven mulch]

how do i get naninf in balatro

dude i swearits impossible

[barren crag]

Yeah but there is a chance to see rework of USA, France and UK in the new season pass?

Rework of all majors would be neat

Only majors remaining for rework is UK, France and USA

[neat kayak]

Not now though

pdx will not rework them

now

USA def needs a rework

[barren crag]

Agree

[neat kayak]

it's simply garbage

too many 70 day focuses

[barren crag]

Lets hope atleast USA will be reworked

in the new season pass

[hollow skiff]

Bro the Dutch focus tree doesn't have enough cake </3

[neat kayak]

F you mean?

it's a good ft for it's age

[hollow skiff]

It was

[neat kayak]

I still enjoy it

[hollow skiff]

But it's not anymore bro

[neat kayak]

same with Mexico

it's still better than most modern nations

latvia , greece ,ethiopia , iceland ( this one hurts to say) , Goe

[worn coral]

dude

i didnt know it was even possible to get negative political power

[hollow skiff]

It's a little outdated. And the Dutch focus tree has a couple things you can do but it moves really slow and also like you can't really do anything except go democratic unify the Low countries and then make the European Union and any other path except the monarchist path of the Dutch really isn't anything special

[hollow skiff]

It is unfortunately </3

[neat kayak]

Mexico has one of the best ft

[hollow skiff]

That's true the Mexican focus tree is quite good even now

[neat kayak]

Mexico can hold it's ground 5 dlcs from now on

[hollow skiff]

Idk about that one. Like, sure it's good but it also depends on the one playing it. And the buffs you get as mexico isn't really enough if you're going against USA most of the time

[neat kayak]

btw what's your fav nation?

[hollow skiff]

Probably like Soviet union or Hungary

[neat kayak]

Hungary it's a solid one

my fav one is Austria

[hollow skiff]

Yes it is 🙂‍↕️

That's also a really good one 👍

But fr though

Australian focus tree is 100% better /j

[neat kayak]

Austria was the first one i played when GTG dropped

and i feel in love with it's ft

[neat kayak]

NZ>

[hollow skiff]

Lmao 😂

[neat kayak]

70 days for a railway in jungle 🔥

only in australia

[hollow skiff]

I mean why the hell not right? X D

[neat kayak]

yeah sure

and idk why

[hollow skiff]

I played Germany first I know I'm a baby 😔💔

[neat kayak]

estonia and lithuania have too many 70 day focuses

[hollow skiff]

Same with the Netherlands and most older focus tree's 😔

[neat kayak]

My order was Austria ( monarchist annexation), Hungary ( Bela kun) , Belgium ( EU and i fumbled hard) , Germany ( Imperial) and congo ( the kingdom with the palm flag)

[hollow skiff]

DAAAAAMN

I didn't even play congo yet cuz I thought and still think it's too boring 😔

[neat kayak]

It is

but has some upsides

[hollow skiff]

I played Germany historical first and then like Hungary Otto von Habsburg path :3

[neat kayak]

i really wanted to try commie hungary

[slim nexus]

[hollow skiff]

Oh yeah I remember

[neat kayak]

[cedar latch]

[neat kayak]

You can do EU and Rome in a single run as italy

[cedar latch]

History is written by the victors

[trim pike]

Anyways

[hollow skiff]

[neat kayak]

Chile is also fun

[cedar latch]

[hollow skiff]

Debatable

[neat kayak]

[hollow skiff]

I did it like 4 times I really need to touch grass 😔💔

[cedar latch]

an old tale that most have forgotten

[neat kayak]

Rome full decisions

[hollow skiff]

Damn nice bro

[neat kayak]

My fav strat for italy

is rush france with paratroopers

[misty fossil]

ugh i should do a supreme soviet run

[neat kayak]

then straight into uk

[hollow skiff]

I mean it's like if you form Rome you basically already won

[neat kayak]

and after this you're basically unstoppable

[hollow skiff]

Probably

[misty fossil]

hurr durr

[neat kayak]

also in that run i did it as none other than the pope

[hollow skiff]

Yeah it's really strong if you do it like that. I prefer taking it slower and more painfully 😔

[neat kayak]

Also opposittion italy is fun too

[hollow skiff]

We love the pope 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[neat kayak]

Commie and Democratic are fun

[hollow skiff]

Didn't play it yet sadly 😔

[neat kayak]

Commie italy gives daily compliance

if you liberate Gramsci

[warped hill]

how do u form rome as russia

[hollow skiff]

OOEEEHHHH NICEEEEE

[hollow skiff]

Beaten but not defeated patriarch path

[warped hill]

huh

oh alr

[proud tapir]

what is happening. I went none historical, and now the US joined the allies in 39 and has a navy in Europe already because commie mexico joined the axis

[neat kayak]

Welcome to ahistorical

[hollow skiff]

Lmao X D

[warped hill]

i like playing germany because of the fighter mio

[neat kayak]

where mexico is in kamikaze mod in 4/5 runs

[warped hill]

best airforce by 1940

[hollow skiff]

We love suffering here ✨

[proud tapir]

I might aswell coup with king Michael and join the allies to fight Italy after they kill Germany

[hollow skiff]

You should 🙂‍↕️

[proud tapir]

Germany cant fight Poland tho or go around the line in France

they dont have 950k manpower

[hollow skiff]

YOOOOO FELLOW CATHOLIC BROTHER 💪✝️

[proud tapir]

they are stuck trying to break trough the forts

[proud tapir]

My man

[hollow skiff]

AAYYYYY

[proud tapir]

Brother in Christ

❤️

[hollow skiff]

Brother 💪❤️

[proud tapir]

fr fr, always nice seeing fellow Catholics

[zenith charm]

IT TOOK ME TWO YEARS BUT FINALLY

[hollow skiff]

Yes definitely 😁

[hollow skiff]

Oh QWQ

[proud tapir]

Was it worth it?

[hollow skiff]

Looks like it is 😁

[hollow skiff]

Nice pocket dutch approved 👍✨

[zenith charm]

it took the iranians

2 months to get 2 million casualties

for my 20k

and then

it took 2 years

again

[hollow skiff]

Lmao nice dude 👍

[zenith charm]

no its not i'm losing 50k per tile i take thankfully this encirclement saves me

[proud tapir]

its so mental how Germany absolutely is just stuck not being able to go around French forts because they dont and cant get 950k manpower to fight Poland and continue other focuses

[zenith charm]

they have 20% strenght but so many divs i can't push except with hard mental power

[hollow skiff]

It's alr. Cuz 10 times the casualties you've inflicted on the enemy is really good

[hollow skiff]

German ai not aiing 😔💔

[warped hill]

cen cen cen cen centre guy

[proud tapir]

Ahistorical is fun

and i just love how Romania can switch sides trough the focus tree

[zenith charm]

every single battle has theses stats like its cooked from the start

[proud tapir]

consequence free

[warped hill]

unhistorical is so clear of historical

[proud tapir]

Italy stole all my Balkan claims

but the allies should be powerful enough when Germany dies

to take them on

And ill just eat up the Balkans

Pays well to be on the winning side of history

[hollow skiff]

I mean you can also build supply hubs and get tanks/cas to help :]

Or use a couple nukes to help you :]

[hollow skiff]

Very true 🙂‍↕️

[hollow skiff]

Always has been

[hollow skiff]

Wait which country were you playing?

[proud tapir]

Romania

[hollow skiff]

Oeh nice!

[proud tapir]

One of the most fun basegame balkan nations

[proud tapir]

i want to play more of Hungary and Bulgaria once i get bosporus and the german dlc

[hollow skiff]

I like playing Bulgaria and Greece more tbh but Romania isn't a bad pick at all!

[zenith charm]

planes... about that

i don't have a single one

[hollow skiff]

Build them :]

[zenith charm]

but in this mod supply hubs are 4k IC so i built like 4

[hollow skiff]

Research them

[zenith charm]

and i had enough supply to keep going

[hollow skiff]

You definitely should

I recommend buying Gotterdammerung first and then battle for the Bosporus

[proud tapir]

Basegame Hungary is ok but im missing out without the german dlc that revamps the focus tree

[hollow skiff]

Oh damn-

[zenith charm]

i dont need planes i need the swords of iraq

[proud tapir]

plus those sweet alt history german paths

[hollow skiff]

Yes you really are sadly

[hollow skiff]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Cas is really powerful tbh :]

[zenith charm]

i know but i cant do anything against the 2k planes iranian airforce AND american volunteers and air

but i agree cas is king

[hollow skiff]

Definitely buy Gotterdammerung first

[proud tapir]

fr fr i will

My dlc priority list:
Gotterdammerung
BBA
NSB
Bosporus

[hollow skiff]

It is, then tanks I'd say. And don't forget to put AA in your divisions

[hollow skiff]

All of them-

[hollow skiff]

Nice list approved 👍

[zenith charm]

my tanks suck so much my infantry is better than them lmfao

[hollow skiff]

How 😭

[zenith charm]

they got used over the world india south africa sudan ethiopia sri lanka

[hollow skiff]

You should redesign your tank template and tank divisions then probably

[zinc light]

Romania's Focus tree is much worse than bulgaria and greece

[zenith charm]

no tank designer in the mod

[hollow skiff]

Like a 40 with tank divisions is good enough

[zenith charm]

i have 1980s tanks tho

[hollow skiff]

Damn 😭

[zenith charm]

thats the reason prob

[hollow skiff]

It is yes

But I'm saying Romania isn't a bad pick not that it's the best out of those three 🥀

[hollow skiff]

Probably, the tank designer is really powerful

[zenith charm]

2 months into the war vs 2 years into the war

[hollow skiff]

;-;

👏👍

[zenith charm]

i took a year more to prepare cuz they absolutely destroyed me the first time

[hollow skiff]

Oop-

[zenith charm]

attrition so bad at some point i was forced to halt offensives cuz i was 40k down the hole in guns

[hollow skiff]

Jeez that's a lot of infantry equipment you lost ;-;

[zenith charm]

🥱

[hollow skiff]

Did you put anti air in your divs?

[zenith charm]

im not even kidding during some months every battle i lost atleast 20k men same for iran

[hollow skiff]

Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[zenith charm]

there is aa and at in infantry like the batallion

[hollow skiff]

Okay good, I wasn't sure if you did that or not :]

[hollow skiff]

Uh

[hoary mortar]

[hollow skiff]

[zenith charm]

also thoses 400k come despite me having field hospitals 😭

[hollow skiff]

Hellon!!

[hollow skiff]

Oef 😭😭😭

[zenith charm]

[hollow skiff]

Lmao ig they weren't lying 😂

Which mod is this?

[zenith charm]

red dusk

[hollow skiff]

OOOOEEEEHHHH GOOD MOD 👍👍👍

[zenith charm]

im never playing a big nation anymore

i used to be able to push only with nukes

and now that nukes got reworked

[hollow skiff]

I mean you can still use nukes just not uhhhh

Spam them :]

[zenith charm]

yeah well iran army looks like it got nuked

and i still couldnt push

[hollow skiff]

😭

[hollow skiff]

How 😭😭😭💔💔💔🫂🫂🫂

[cyan elk]

Is this overkill

[hollow skiff]

Yes ;-;

[zenith charm]

2 months of straight up throwing men at my line

[hollow skiff]

They have nothing on that Frontline how can't you push? 🥀

[zenith charm]

stats

we both have atleast +75% from country also terrain supply and air

[hollow skiff]

What are your division templates? 😨

[sudden thistle]

Omg

[hollow skiff]

Like a one infantry Battalion division or something 🥀

[sudden thistle]

Nothing are in those divs 😭

[zenith charm]

literally just base iraq divs

i recorded iran throwing itself at me but its too big for discord ill try to uh make the file smaller

literally a month and they lost 2 mil im not even joking

[hollow skiff]

You can maybe make it like a 27 with or 24 with preferably I thinj

[hollow skiff]

Also AA support company will do wonders trust me

[zenith charm]

iwill compress video and try to send it here even if it will be bad quality

[hollow skiff]

Ikr 😭😭😭💔💔💔

[hollow skiff]

Okay gl :]

[zenith charm]

the arms of iraq held back the iranians

[hollow skiff]

Basically holding the country together 🥀

[zenith charm]

verdun ahh battle bro 😭

[hollow skiff]

HELL NAHHH

[zenith charm]

also

this is why i couldn't push

[sudden thistle]

Hear me out

[hollow skiff]

[sudden thistle]

[misty fossil]

[zenith charm]

[limpid mantle]

[zenith charm]

@hollow skiff watch

[sudden thistle]

What mod

Red dusk?

Or red dawn I forgot

[hushed shell]

Held back Ai

[snow rain]

I mean, you shouldn't have any cav or motorised div in your lines
your tank divs should be TDs divs and mediums are quite inneficient in MP builds

also, stop producing light tanks except for support companies

[zenith charm]

yes

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[hoary mortar]

btw have a good weekend fellas

[hollow skiff]

Jeez that's unhealthy ;-;

[hollow skiff]

Red dusk

I should play with grand battle plan doctrine more often but I just go in my mind:"SUPERIOR FIREPOWER AND MOBILE ARMY DOCTRINE GO BRRRRRRRRRRRR".

[zenith charm]

we will unite arabia

[hollow skiff]

Grand battle plan doctrine is really strong for minor countries but I just refrain from using them somehow cuz I think like. Maybe I'll use tanks in a year? And then 3 years later the war is almost over and I still haven't built a single tank 🥀

[hollow skiff]

AAYYYYY

Do it >:]

[cedar lance]

just subbed to RED DUSK

what nation should i play as in RED DUSK?

[zenith charm]

the last country with content most recent is the uk

else either the soviets/iraq/yugoslavia have content

the usa too but its not fully fleshed out

[cedar lance]

alr

[quasi wharf]

wtf did the ai just gave me ? I actually wanted germany to have the northrend stuff.(have my own faction) Was only pushing into Marseille before france capitulated. Playing on historical

[cedar lance]

is RED DUSK a good mod

[proud tapir]

Vro the axis keep asking me to join the war.
We? Whos we?? You didnt give me slovakia, im not wasting my 90 divisions.

[warped hill]
