Ah, that afghani meme path
bro my cavalry is crazy
France isnt real🔥
You get a 20% defence and offence bonus how did you even lose
carlist
the fire rises is one of the worst mods i've ever played. the sheer amount of collaborative buffoonery between the collective hivemind of low iq stratacel goons who have no actual taste in simulation games is crazy. every night i pray for god to bless every single one of you with at least one good opinion or judgement, but alas, he has failed you ever since you all came out of the womb.
10 percent
also the civil war stalemated
is this ragebait
no
ok
The power of friendship cant beat the power of racism -some guy idk playng a Eqestria at war submod
It’s the best hoi4 mod ever made
I agree with you
I love modern equipment and warfare and it’s not a nothing ever happens sim like millennium dawn
yeah
I do too
also i turned into the Kingdom of Spain
you are ignorant.
speaking of carlist
Nah
ive never played carlist
i guess ill play carlist spain rn since ive already played anarchist and falangist
you have no idea what different opinions are
i will never play francoist, communist, nor democratic spain
I will never play communist for reasons explained by my name
ngl i feel like every spain path is so overshadowed by carlist and falangist
gee dee ee
I have never played spain
MASSIVE TOTAL MOBILIZATION
because falangist lets you core basically all of latin america and mexican usa
global defense council of espanya
and carlist is just monarchy
and anarchist also lets you core quite literally the entire world
playing as the GDC is crazy cus you're basically all on your own
i feel like falangist is the best spain

u should
its fun
especially falangist spain (not francoist)
hey can anyone be a buddy of mine and try to help me play hoi4?
I kinda suck at the game
i forgot what does Greater German Reich do?
Sorry it’s 09:28 for me lol
cope
Good night 🙂
Cores on random stuff
Guys
Guyette
Super Heavy Railway Guns
Idk what I used
wtf is this helicopter
Is it a plane? Yes
Is it a heli? Also yes..?
what do i pick
That whole entire movie was one big fever dream
i dont even remember that scene from monster house
The one that got the best buffs
who has the best buffs
1st guy
why?
alr guys
the mod red dusk worked for a few seconds then lagged out and crashed before i could save the game
For the Japanese rework for Pearl Harbor they should make it as bombing raid mission that automatically declares war on the US and damages. Any ships in Hawaii also dealing 2.5 levels of damage to everything.
What if the ships were in guam 😔
Russia is getting destroyed by my light tanks
does anyone actually know how to beat seelow heights its like litterally impossible 😭
Lol
I'd take the other stuff but I don't feel like fighting the allies and some stuff I literally can't take because I'm a democracy
flip
Nah too gamey for my taste
but not gamey enough to form the eu in 44?
Eh I got lucky
France turned fascist
And Hungary got us into a war with Italy
bruh zakat is wealth tax😭
hello yalls
@fervent bobcat
No scream if you love Byzantium gifs 😭
Spain is more fun in Total war Medieval II
You can attack your southern neighbor at the start
what happens if you do collab government twice?
you add another 30-45% collab
The almohad caliphate
Though I’m the mod playing the Almohads are quite strong at the start
how is this even possible
Corn.
Polish AI doing 30 minutes of Hel campaign 🙏
While German manage to breakthrough Majinot Line
like owning a car, apartment or house and paying yearly taxes to the state only because you own them
no
its a percentage of income you have to pay as alms to the poor
why?
Could have sworn my largest city in the state did something like this
The results were disastrous
thats dumb
so
if u re working
getting a job that s paid 10 times better then mine but you really work
Probably a good thing I didn’t go out at night in Burlington
and i have a job where i do almost nothing and getting shit pay
Literally me atm
would u agree u give me some of your hard work money
basically for nothing
would it help me?
yes, in short term. long term i ll get used to it and when i stop receiving it it will be a catastrophe for me
its literally aid for poor people
that s not a proper way to aid them
it is
I swear if Thailand doesn't get a focus tree in this next DLC I will chug a whole bottle of mustard
u can aid them by making them not depend on others
That would genuinely be interesting. The focus tree I mean
how lmao
by letting them starve?
helping them find ways of getting more money
Btw Tsardoms has no schizo stuff
easier said than done
rich people should always give alms to the poor
Its a historically accurate as possible mod for the Balkans in the 1400s
to continue profiting and tax evading
Though I can’t remember if there is a 1300s start date
So that basically means it still on fire, minus the crazy HOI4 stuff
jk jk
In all seriousness, sounds interesting lol
hoi4?
Medieval II
t_t
Was about to say lol
Probably because you can take territory in game
Its the starting borders of each nation
Which are bound to change
i want to personally go to paradox headquarters to rework france
they tried adding trees like rt56
that are just full of blost
bloat
a lot of fking focuses
and the tree itself looks confusing
I HATE HAVING CONTENT
more focuses ≠ better content
Me who is playing as Byzantium in Medieval 2: with a powerful roster early game but under powered late game
Yup Byzantium falls off late game
true, but more focuses are usually indicative of better gameplay
no it s not
Depends on what the focuses do
it s just junk bloat
Not necessarily
honestly the best change they could do to france would be to give it a couple 35 day focuses
Its time that China got a rework
it isnt overbloated
And by extension, Japan
im still waiting for romanian rework
SWEAR
cause greece and bulgaria have factions system, hungary just got a new tree
romania is old af
while depicting the historical political focus tree almost correctly
u dont really have ahist options
like
I wonder if they will add flavor to Mongolia and the Soviet Union due to Khalkhin Gol
hungary only has 1 hist options
Which kinda blends into the war in East Asia
how would there be more than 1
when tannu tuva tree
Tannu Tuva would be funny but realistically, I am not sure what they would have in terms of focuses
like u keep ideologies and almost all decisions hist but go slightly off the track
but in sorry
otto von habsburg coming to hunger
hungary
becoming transleithania and diplomatically subjugating all the neighbours
I need to Upgrade Nicea to a small city
King Michael's Coup
meanwhile. romania has balkans dominance - only wargoals with fielded manpower requirement
why doesnt hungary have that shit
AI never lets you accept that in total war unless they are really weak and like you
hoi4
play austria
diplomatically annex all ur former lands
I was comparing to the total war franchise
despite having no army no industry
but u fully annex czechoslovakia hungary transylvania half of yugo
just because u "demand it"
cause yea it s very likely that serbia gives up half of the land to u
and refuse to give dalmatia to italy
Example as Rome when I conquered the central Mediterranean Rhodes was at war with the Ptolomies and asked me to make them their vassal as they were loosing and really weak
Most of my Total War experience is playing Shogun 2 lol
Most of it is the Rome 2 divide et impera mod
Look at the buffs
The german ai put erwin rommel in spanish civlwar
How to join tommykay rp session tho?
u cant
wth did you do
should I try Last Stand of Freedom
nice
So he was in prison in bautzen?
Yes it is nice
im gonna do WW3
against USSR
as USA
like when im ready
i need many new UNITS AND DIVS First
Irl
@zenith charm should i declare WW3 on USSR?
i think it happens via event in like 2008
a soviet plane is shot over turkey
should i also declare war against PRC and Vietnam?
SHOW ME THE MAP.
bruh im about to go outside i cant show the map
wow, how did they manage that
Is Moscow Berlin axis good
No.
i guess
Ye, tho irl he died in 1944 so he was in prison since 1933 ig
why ally when u can conquer
Why ally when you can make them a Reichskommisariat
Sounds like that One treaty of Spain and portugual splitting the world in half
What?
that was actually a thing
i forgot the name but spain and portugal promised to split the world up
among themselves
Like u can do special forces only - mountaineers with AT
(crazy)
ussr can do tanks only
but u also massproduce air
No like let's both have realistic arnies
The Treaty of Tordesillas, signed in Tordesillas, Spain, on 7 June 1494, and ratified in Setúbal, Portugal, divided the newly discovered lands outside Europe between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Crown of Castile, along a meridian 370 leagues or 2,100 kilometres (1,300 mi) west of the Cape Verde islands, off the west coast of Africa. That lin...
Idk how we are supposed to do such a conquest thing in 2 yeard
realistic armies and allies?
why not specialize in doing one thing perfectly
The alliance lasts for 730 days
Because meta is for nerds
u re saying nerd like it's supposed to be an insult
hi guys
Meta is for the ppl who dodge every water molecule in the shower
you can just reinvite the ussr
when the faction is deleted you'll both be at war with the same country
Oh yeah
so literally just reinvite them or make a new faction
paradox didnt think it through probably
they never really do
There should be a mod where the world is split between Nazi Germany and the ussr
Like spheres of influence
A cold war
We could do the thing line that after we have conquered everyone else
We break the alliance
And them
Nuclear war
@grand sluice dms
are you gay
No
off topic plz guys oomg talm about hoi4 no anime girls
anime girls are perfeft wdym
Me when i lie
u aint no girl playing hoi4 multiplayer
but anyone know anything about a swiss achievement being broken
Idk
cant get the none shall pass achievement like it wont fire
the other 3 i got already
i did disabled by balls alone if that affects anything
not trying to play swiss focus tree
focus maze*
this is what my decisions tab now looks like after re enabling by balls alone in a swiss save where i had it disabled
whats that
Swis gameplay
rainbow six siege may aswell be a unity asset flip game made by a russian kid
but in bautzen?
and why is the germany flag the norway flag with diffrend colors?
scandinavian cross
sorry not sorry
thats a cosmetic flag
and that means?
its something that changes a countries looks without changing the country itself. When you create the roman empire you dont change italy itself, you just change its flag, name, color. the tag is stll the same
oh ok but can i change it back to the old flag
i liked it more
yeah do the command
set_cosmetic_tag GER GER
its in ironman
oh then i think not, maybe try to get puppeted?
say it with me! N-E-R-D!
Greetings @ alan reet! How are you doing in this fine morning, buddy?
tordesillas created brazil and latin america
thank tordesillas
@ alan reet also, congrats on passing the VDV test.
We welcome you.
portugal got so much for such a little country
although they had a strong alliance with britain tbf
Portugal got barely nothing.
Spanish kingdom got the entire world
not fair in the slightlest
we drop dead bodies out the sky
If you find people kind enough in mp you can play a minor country like romania and make Germany puppet you and capitulate the balkans for you then give them to puppet(you)
different sources switch which country’s get which side but either way portugal got a lot
heh, you think
in reality
portugal would've only gotten the Nordeste region of brazil
sure, portugal's navy at 1500s was great
hell, almost reaching britain's lvl
shut up
but they wouldn't be able to take out the entire world
nuh uh
no
bbox base
they should add an official kost levytsky portrait to the game
they only got mykhailo pavlenko
whats the best way to get ready for 1937 (ragnarok mod)
i will never me able to unsee this one pixel in the suez that isnt apart of its province
yeah
its also why some places have those ugly artifacts, especially if you zoom in/out
its especially annoying to see states like Israel that have one state when its supposed to have more
these states were promised to me 3000 years ago!
hey he started it
This is not kindergarten "he started it" is not an argument you can use here
its funny
and dont bait each other to continue
true
I wanna listen to my French music
can i bait you
ragebaiting is the best thing ever ong
alr
Competitive rage baiting is not for #hoi4-general 😛
Im thinking of playing Road to 56 but idk what country
i want to get the polish bear do i need to control the states or just have divisions in it and which states ?
argentina
hello yalls
does someone know ?
fastest way to decrease puppets autonomy?
are u french
????
no
Albania
Zog I is very OP and so is Mehdi Frashëri
build anything in their territory or lend lease a lot of convoys to them
I got brazil puppeted and i am building infrastructure to all provonces that got resources
is that good?
dw u also get the convoys that you lend leased to your puppet back if u annex them
yeah
the more stuff that is currently being built by civs in their territory, the faster their autonomy goes down
Aussa
add rage bait channel
Well he was First imprisoned near Berlin, then hannover and then got transferee there so
Just common Knownledge
Super cool
I am visiting a cousin now in bautzen
Now you have a random fun fact to tell him 
afghanistan is quite good
Thank you
Im gonna tell him and he has no idea what i am talking about
How to win american civil war?
@sudden grotto look i am right, you are a nerd
😂 😅
dont piss of the guy
If i create faction with my puppet, can i annex that puppet later while its in the faction?
hes a nice dude
yes
thanks
Well what if i have a country in my faction and i do a focus where i get wargoal on it?
how does that go then
Bruh
daje
scherzo fra
which path is best timurid or pashtunistan for afghanistan
just joking ofcourse🙃
guys
guys
i played a tournament in another game
how the hell did i take 5th place if i only lost in the semifinals
someone explain please
it wasnt rage baiting actually hes a cool guy
hello yalls
yo sup
wassup
have yalls played or still play RED DUSK?
what are yalls honest opinion bout Red dusk?
@stable trench
i didnt really play it but it seems fire
alr
okay
im gonna go to war with ussr Prc and other commie powers
to rid the world of commies
yeah
Whats the cruiser sub used for?
range
Its a tier 3 sub but you can get it earlier
me when
hello yalls
who here has played or stilll plays Estonia in SP hoi4?
You can change their themplates now
You can change their themeplate for now
At this point of the game you have already won
he aint really making progress
Nice!
capitulated yugoslavia
he isnt advancing
he did menage to get ther with 6 tanks medium divison on london
at tjis point he just do not want to advance
I've never seen this happen
u ve never seen monarchist uk
nope
it was a statement not a question
Is Senor Hitler Adolf Hitler?

hilter
yes
so is Adam Hilt
and Adolfos I
💀
But like, I've played like maybe 40 non historical games and have never seen Britain go this path before
Ah yes, glad that I refused him
cause uk usually goes democratic -hist, democratic ahist, fascist or communist
communist is the least likely
pedro pablo ramirez has much better looks
I've seen communist the most
why
u could core germany
and be 4th german reich
Will it trigger Europe war again?
Now I am annexing Uruguay
And Brazil demand me to retreat
Will he attack me if i don't do so
mp crash
They can either back down, or attack, I think.
Ferdinand's ass.
How to beat Japan as communist China?
whats the best doctorine for defence overall?
im playing France and wanna grind the germans down with all the funny forts i have built

here s the neat part you dont
directly
i did it and im still a newbie, its not hard tbh
GBP left
prc is really fun
alr thx
nah, they are commies
Republicans won
ye
once you eat all the smaller warlords and cheat Japan out of most of China in the peace deal
You have pretty much all the population and industry you could ask for
u good then
Train like 5 cavlary and rush the warlords around you, always have a justification going on
Until you kill everything right and left of you
Then push into the industrial part of China towards their capital
u start justifying a wargoal on sinkiang. u do the focus to get wargoals on shanxi and xibei san ma. from here you have 2 strategies.
Strategy 1. push japan out of the continent, force a white peace. then do one china policy and kill nationalist china.
strategy 2. justify wargoal on nationalist china and finish it before japan attacks them. start preparing yourself for the invasion. join the battle when china lost most of the eastern coastal states. push hard. more losses = better cause u have more warscore. dont forget to join japan's faction so they give you most of the land in the peacedeal. in the peacedeal, you get most of the land(if not everything)). then u prepare to invade japan
forts are definitely not good
And in the peace deal, take first the thing Japan cores/claims
The coastal provinces
u can defeend from germany by simply using 6/0 infantry spam
put like 72 divisions on the benelux border, 20 on the maginot line, 40-ish guarding the italian border
no doctrine no special divisions nothing
im still new and feel like i should be able to bunker down safely but thx for the advice
I use the
dont build forts. they re useless
9 block inf plus support arty,spaa and engineers
alr built them
that's overkill
for just defending
also, lower combat width = more org
so u can defend for longer
Yeah my plan is to just grind them up
with the 9 block u might get broken tiles
Absolutely deny any tile
then use what i said
to deny any tile push
and make some tanks to push them back
i have a pretty well organized front for now, no overstack
and grind encirclements
too low combat width makes the defence too low. strike a balance
i planned ahead, i just need to be done with the uhh focus that removes the stupid debuff for the army doctorine
Im doing it rn
Germany still didnt justify on benelux
i have a lil bit more time
And since i struggle with industry rn
i just maxxed out anti air in like half of my regions in France
no time to produce aircraft
no
u dont care about stats u care about org
plus support anti air in my divisions. Should be enough
more org = hold for longer
but if their attack is higher than your def you take critical hits
so what
u hold for longer
ai is bad
trust me on this one i was obsessed with playing france in sp
for some time
might not get to play tourney today :/
6/0 works better than 9/0
sad day fr
keep in mind guys im still new, so still learning
i just spam air whe i play as france and it carries
btw quick question
does it matter if i build stuff while my stuff is bombed and needs repairs? Should i not build stuff to have as many civs on repair?
Same here, lol, I'm trying to gobble down the info the best I can.
Nice, we will become pros one day fr 
theres like a thing at the top to choose how many factories to have always focusing on repair
oh boy it's been a long time since i last played france 💀
they slowly repair tho without factories
Hopefully so.
most historical game i played:
I have a 300 dollar laptop, so I might not make it to late game.
Hmmmm, maybe i should not build once germany starts to cross into belgium
I wanna have all my forts, anti air and industry maitained and repaired
That's why I'm saving for a Steam Deck.
i hate that interwar plane picture that always puts itself on the basic
yes
You have the France DLC?
i have all dlcs
im looking for the picture
that shows u how to set up ur inf / tanks placement
to grind as much as possible
out of germany
I'ma get them all, I'ma just gonna pay the subscription on it.
17/20 times they dont even invade ussr
I tried once, not familiar with the game so my navy instant die when fight with Britain
19/20 times they dont even invade benelux
i didnt build any navy
or refit any
i just used air
ah there you go
FRANCE HOLDING THE LINE
no air required
Did you surround some German units?
simple camel-heavy tank templates
Sweet
As soon as I said that, I got a notification from YouTube "Touching Grass, Hoi4 style."
Drain Germany's manpower.
med
wdym
iw heavies are trash
can't even reach 4km/h
basic heavy
u can just use the basic heavy
ofc not iw heavy
dw
when the soviets are gonna capitulate...
u can just hold xp until u get rid of "victors of the great war"
pump all xp into mountaineers doctrine
what's left into gbp
and use 32.4 battleplan mountaineers
when u reach urals
or invade vladivostok
"Mein Fuhrer, they surrounded us again and retreated."
mein fuehrer they didnt capture charleroi let's defend it
"Mein Fuhrer, do the pinch and twist on them."
prepare better
I have like 6 mil population
...
Plus i have to keep garisons in the provinces I captured
A lil country like me managed to capture leningrand/rostov/Baku and soon murmansk
what i see is german occupation
Were you playing Estonia or something?
not bulgarian
Bulgaria
U know the soviets are cooked when the germans keep 100 divisions in the west alone
Idk what's with this ai
Gemmanyinvaded sweden
(we play historic)
things didnt really go historical yk
u can't expect the ai to act fully historical when what u did isnt fully historicial
I finished my tech tree literally in 1941
Without doing the navy ofc
besides i can definitely remember how vichy france never actually formed, stalingrad got captured and soviets lost baku oil fields
everything screams historical accuracy
u finished of USA and UK?
No
I assume we are gonna invade uk soon
After the soviets capitulate
the capital automatically moves to the city with the most vps
yeah i think after the first wave of attacks and them losing 23.6k soldiers to our 26. It really made them confused
I am the wall.

hey guys im looking for someone chill to enjoy the game with im the only one in my friend group that loves hoi4 and just want someone to play it with if your interested plz dm me
Add me on steam and on discord if u wanna
Finnaly the soviets capitulated
Idk how Soviets, UK and China manage to get in once alliance
yesss moar anti air bonuses
Sweden doesnt like the term foreign anymore
Im having so much fun just turning France into one giant cinderblock of defence
i am the wall that keeps germany out
why is sweden planning to invade ukraine
Sweden dont like the word foreign
foreign as in illegal migrants
most historical game
guys what do i take? (its jan 1937)
Laaaaaaaag
all
all of it, maybe exile france on an island
do u have collabs on them?
no
if u dont it s better to puppet and war reparations
also id annex the middle east thingies
you did this by naval invading?
and other important colonies i would puppet + resource rights
paratroopers
like vietnam, niger, congo
it takes awhile to master paratrooping france
to get rubber
took me around 5 attempts to get it right
alrr thankjs
well britain is more important
rubber malaya
thats why i attack france first
to get their navy
if you can paratoroop france so you can paratroop uk
nah
in france all u need to do is snipe victory points
uk you need the hole island
u cant do that in uk u dont have range
yea
and even if u beat uk u cant garrison all their colonies if u choose to annex
also what is up with ai just cancel attacking instantly
good thing about fascists is that u get integrated puppets
yes, 65% of their mils (unfortunately) but still u do get it
without having to build in their land to lower autonomy
literally tried 3 runs to rush britain in 1936 just couldnt
u shouldnt even do that
but with you can just annex the south east asia for the rubber and puppet the rest?
no compliance
so not many resources
u can build infrastructure in their land as overlord
and buy the resources 80 to 1 civ
as netherlands all u need is equipment
u can use DEI manpower
whenever i have puppets, i make a garrison template using a subject' template
and basically all the manpower that dies is their manpower
the equipment is yours
hi
it doesnt hurt when the divisions is just infantry
and thats whats is important as germany
not really
oh also
pro tip
u can use
divisions
DEI divisions
u disable equipment
so they dont get guns
and u basically have meat org walls
IF THIS DOESNT DO IT IDK WHAT
am actually a soviet player but thats intresting
wrong
lets say germany ready for war in 1939
paradrop somewhere in the mainland
why
in the center?
london, Birmingham, etc
i sent them here to encircle the ports
victory points
to distract the troops from shores
u want to drag the attention off the shores
so those troops leave
and then u paradrop on the porta
when the portguards are after ur bait troopers
and immediately as u land take as much land as possible to buy time for ur divs
yea
and then set another paradrop order
with a different general
for ports
and u only launch the one to cities
when it s safe to drop on ports, click it
???
i dont know i saw a guid and he said use this
what you mean?
when someone tells you "do this"
u just take it for granted
dont u wonder why that guy said "do this"
so i diverted them for a second and paratroopers died and i manged to push a lil
well i think its super dump if you give people guide about something and its wrong
good
thats why i didnt ask
so you literally take everything for granted
💀
why dont i have air superiority i outnumber them i have higher mission eff and my stats are better
emmmmmm
does the game just hate me
not everything
Who knows.
u know
that in order to have air superiority in the english mainland
if u re using french airports
u also need superiority in the english channel
just move the airplanes to mainland england
@urban ivy so this advice about the air general is a lie?
Are you still producing planes?
yes
everything u think u know is a lie
damn
Try putting production more onto planes.
it should say something about detection
yeah how do i improve it
dont tell me this is wrong
u have doctrines and spirits
dogshit
Would targeting UK's radar work?
which air doctrine is the best
i have 450 air experience
for single player i d say middle
because u dont need fighter buffs
ai makes bad air
middle doctrine buffs cas
?
for multiplayer, it's the one for fighters
right
use 50 air xp on an air spirit
2nd air slot
u should see like an angry eye
or smth
gives u more air detection
this one right
Isn't that an Eagle eye?
yes
right
what should i use?
single player?
yeah
i d say less range more defense
