You know what is surprising, this isn't even a Chak's Law either
I don't think there ever was a WW2 discussion
its neither funny nor appropriate here man, if you're tired, go to bed instead of trying to get urself in trouble here
Let's get backto HOI as a subject, please.
Lost cause.
the flag looks weird
So what does the tutorial fail at
Everything 
Someone ban his ass
Actual flag design that was designed but never used
This is a paradox game too
u could be another country as italy
Various micronations have come and gone over the last century, but few have left as pronounced an impact on the world stage as the State of Petoria.

The tutorial without DLC actually might be helpful as Ethiopia doesn't have as many troops
BETTER THAN BRITANNIA 😍
If you start as poland
Kazakhstan, greatest country in the world.
You get used to die
KOLECHIA >>>>>>>
Bandit anarchy>>>>>
New HOI4 players who try to follow tutorials exactly and crumple like a piece of wet paper when the AI does something slightly different
good that i never watched a tutorial
The tutorial could obviously be improved, however the difficulty always remains in fact that grand strategy games rely on you kind of brute forcing the learning process, AKA playing and failing to learn, because no matter how good the tutorial gets it never beats experiencing it yourself and figuring out how to improve
Byzantium rules all
Same empire sort of
True, I just know that Italy in the tutorial is weaker than if you started in 1936
Agreed
Because you have 0 production efficiency
It never reached this far
Just Byzantium had a better hand than the Western Empire
It did under Justinian
I'm back
Most of Italy was lost to the Lombards after he died
"we are too lazy to update it 🗣️ "
Imo the best tutorial is
And the Visigoths retook Spania
ho would one give themselves like 10k small arms 36 using the console
ae 10000 infantry_equipment doesnt work
Goth girls ransack Rome
Do the name of the equipment
like add_equipment 10000 Gewher 98k or whatever it is called
Their numbers must have doubled after that.
so for small arsm 36 it would be?
- Play Germany
- What am I doing?
- I think this is ok
- Not gonna build this ugly green factory
- Oh I needed those (1938)
- Poland will be easy
- Gets folded by AI
Over 200 years before the loss of Spania
small_arms_36
No underscores
Exactly as it is in the production menu
Vandals sacked Rome worse in 455
Goth Girl supremacy
like add_equipment 10000 MP 39
real
Military factories should be leveled out with your resources in my opinion.
got it
1/2 of new germany players when they play for the first time die to France because they didn't guard the French border
You can use ae 1000 MP39 too
Eastern or Western Goth girls
nice
Eastern for me
because they ruled Italy and tried to become Roman
best of both worlds
Go into detail
Well, you only use as many mils as you can use resources with
the Ostrogoths that is
You can have 1000 mils but you will be limited by resources anyways
Idk man, Western Goth Girls can get freaky
in theory, if i just keep grinding the germans at my extended maginot, will they eventualy nuke their own economy because of mefo bills?
Okay, so if your military factories are producing over one or more resources, you should change them out for civilian, unless you decide to trade.

I always trade when my resources are -4 or more in the red
Btw its going splendid, trading 30k frenchmen for 1.5 million germans
peak
If ur a minor nation always go Free Trade
i didnt ping
It helps SOOO MUCH
1942, barbarossa didnt happen tho
Free stats are free
Then you start increasing infrastructure in the areas you get resources, infrastructure = more resources (I think)
Yeah
Free trade is over rated
Some people build infra before mils
I always build infrastructure before civs or mils
Free Trade is nice
Yeh i do
Not needed, but it is nice
isnt free trade like the best law and should be the goal?
Fair, all the way up to 100 percent?
Yeh. Faster building speed and more supply
And more resource output.
Touch grass
I wont build up my whole country to 100% tho lmao
Only the ones with most building slots and resources
Who are you in the game ?
Is that a yes or a no
Playing Qing atm.
I just downloaded it today
Lete ask the mod
I easily white peaced Japan
I finished the tutorial and a yugoslavia run
I mean like 100 percent on the provinces with the resources and building slots.
They're gonna ban me aren't they
Yeh i do that.
Ight.
Then i build straight in them after
cant discuss that here, please do not ask again.
Just do not make anything cracked related question
Ok
I always go for production boosts and decreased building time.
Sorry, won't happen again
I love Link Park and Green day to tbh
15 minutes left of my shift.
You into metal?
I love the clone wars
Rock more than metal
Both for me.
Y'know from Johnny be Good, to Joan Jett, but just recently I am listening. Too The Prodigy

Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun is a real-time strategy video ...
such a GOATED RTS
me who has been saying this since 2021:
You playing without Man the Guns?
I use man the guns
Ooh
USA should get a rework.
Also Roosevelt should get political power trait or some buff it’s the only major leader without any trait
Well dislikes Germany atleast give him bonus attack against country i guess
Maybe.
Niece ambience music
played this game when I was a kid
probably the most depressing RTS game atmosphere wise
given how an alien resource has poisoned the earth which is sick and dying from it
You played the Hoi4 mods yet?
They reworking Japan when no one plays Japan
with it mutating Humans
No i don’t know which one is good for the us
🤬🤬
japan can be fun if they rework it tho
Try Road to 56
Maybe that adds more.
Old games were another total vibe
Meh it tweaks the game a lot
Hmm
Tweaks?
No one plays Japan
Why even bother with them
yeah its on Steam BTW
You should see the number of mod about japan
@trail zinc hey man this is for you
you can get all the games in the franchise for less than 20$
via Steam
Maybe it will make more people play with Japan.
Another one down next nation please
which is like 15 games
this was dreadfull
How is it called
especially commie britain
Ngl i think half the hoi4 player base only plays der fuhrer anyway
i hate 70 days focuses
Command and Conquer Ultimate Bundle
Many people play different nations.
Anyone here plays Tannu Tuva or machukuo
I plan on playing them on my next playthrough.
one empire achievement?
Rn, I'm doing Old World Blues, reforming Texas.
Instead of reworking stuff why not give Mongolia a focus tree and siam
Fair.
U should try the Black Requiem mod then watch the anime its based on
I don't watch Anime.
Its in development but its a good mod
Fair enough. Ur missing out on this show tho
Hm
What other nations you think should get a focus tree?
Venezuela
That's a good choice.
Tannu Tuva
Cotica
Ye me
The releasable nations should get focuses as well.
Luxembourg
THEY DID A GERMANIC DLC AND DIDNT ADD LUXEMBOURG
Maybe
And my shirt is over.
CHAK EXPLAIN YOUR TEAM FOR THE HERESY OF NO LUXEMBOURG
What about Lichenestine?
Why not Luxembourg
Don’t think it appears on the map
Well, it should.
Hello roman friends
I'm Celtic, so
Oh its him again 👀
I would love for Ireland to get a focus tree.
new record
Cool
As a hoi4 player what is your most used infantry template
9/1 +Support Arty, Support AA, Engineers, Radio Company
And maybe logistics
Depends how im feeling
guysss how do i continue
me : i support judeo-ism
how do you finish off the gcw this quickly?
it takes me until september usually
or october
i meant why cant i complete it
What does it say on prerequisite
it says
Dividi et impera
Do you have any decisions
You can start an unaligned coup
Maybe you have decisions for it
most enemy divs were encircled in southern
holy moly
This was fun
how did this happen lmao
germany got a peace deal with france ??? they literalyl own france now ...and their african land
both vichy and free france are exiled in islands LMAO
9/0
Just goated
Question : One player plays communist china The other regular china, They release eachother at the same time. What happens?
tbh carnaval do brasil is one of the best soundtracks in the game
sad that it's pre-order locked
you can just search it on youtube or get it through a mod
i think 1919 was the least stable year ever for the world
i agree
i've heard it on youtube but mods make it feel illegal to listen in a game because i never pre ordered trial of allegiance
i started playing a month ago
to new audiences thats just locking them from purchasing it legally
i've heard about it and instantly became addicted to it
only fair to do what you think is right tho
ive bought everything paradox legally
only because i didnt know there was another day
way*
they probably have to get it in the base game one day
maybe in 2030 or 2040 might they have all pre order tracks get in the base game
So true
is this in the base game
or is this a mod
seems like the deport hungarians focus may be from 🇷🇴
Who Is the man in the pfp
Are there policy for language restriction on the Paradox forum? As in I can only write in English? Does anyone know?
Mykhailo Pavlenko
(I changed it from Kost Levytsky because I wanted official portraits from the game and not fan made ones)
Pavlenko is the only Ukrainian leader who has a portrait
Huh
All the others have the generic guy
wait that's a dds file
let me save it as a jpeg for you to see it
this guy...
u germany?
yes
have you heard of blitzkrieg?
yes
that will help
i have
oh
yeah im new
try to use defense on the border and deploy all your troops near the border
Yes you’re getting naval invaded
Check your territory
AND DEFEND IT
Blitzkrieg as a doctrine is bad 😔
start sharing details man
templates, fielded manpower,
most difficult focus tree(not even the best hoi4 players can do it)
ppl cant just magically guess why youre losing
it has nothing to do with the game…
oh i didnt know that
it does
well what are you using
theres a blitzkrieg doctrine under mobile warfare
a doctrine wont make your 5 divisions magically attack and win 30 that have air superiority and good templates
i didnt say that
you said it wasnt related to the game
mobile warfare is a doctrine, blitzkreig is a tactic that you cant replicate ingame
because the game is on a bigger scale
blitzkrieg still works in the game
The Tactic of Blitzkrieg that Germany employed during WW2 was what made them so successful in the battle field. The word BLITZ means lighting and Krieg means war. LIGHTING WAR #war #ww2 #blitzkrieg
dont blame it on the heavy tanks or the 1948 ai
yes i know what blitzkrieg is
u cant tell individual vehicles what to do lol
i dont think you understand hoi4
what
is it worth it to give OWB a second try?
owb?
old world blues
i havent played the mod
did you like ur first try?
not really it was boring i played it for a few mins
Hmm

im the only country in the axis pushing in canada all my allies are just piling their units in labrador 😭
unlucky
Guys

Hoi4 needs a performance update
make the game run more smoothly
also funny thing my sister's best friend works at paradox
Tell her to say that to the friend, who will bring it to the Hoi4 devs.
Wait, do the devs even interact on here?
Jee idk

fr
Is this worthy for somone to gift me a dlc
La marine furrance has been destroyed
Is it?
What i gonna do now
vro why does everyone have the same keyboard as i do
How much is it?
How have mods not deleted this 😭😭😭
How many countries can i invade in 1936-1938 before the allies do something
normally they start garunteeing after you have generated ~7% world tension
Depends on tension and guarantees.
I turned off guarantees
Hmm
When is that
Anyone have any challenges for me ima 270 hr player who wants dlc in exchange for a challenge Im not doing world conquests
Beat Germany as Luxembourg or take over the Raj as Bhutan
Ok
DMs
Almost October
lost to poland again
is the dlc about asia confirmed?
i heard they are working on china japan and thailand probably
Korea is gonna be a nation apparently.
my main infantry division and production
some people are gossiping about korea and south east asia
Tanks?
take the artillery battalion out its not whats causing your issue but still do that
not confirmed, but as a korean it will be great to play my country
put 1 or 2 factories on the truck
What about his width?
who cares abt combat width
Thought width is terrible still
can i see the org on these?
i'd put a little more arty on there, what nation you playing?
germany
show us your front line when youre figting
are you new?
yes
remove that line artillery and remove 3 infs
you want 36cw on tanks
oh
these things are true but it probably is not whats keeping you from winning exclusively
you sound really new
artillery is noob bait
he said he's new
it was already established
Arti is good for defense only?
arty sucks
so do i just remove arty
i still use it for frontlining
rate my navy battle
I'll keep that in mind.
we can go on about artillery and combat width but i want to see your front line
i just started a new game after getting my ass kicked by poland
heres my front line rn
i outnumber poles greatly
are you just clicking the button to make the troops attack
yes
ye ur gonna win but why haven't you annexed czech yet
need more alphastrike so things actually die instead of disengaging out
if ur new you can use this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbpWbSD6hEY&pp=ygUSaG9pNCBnZXJtYW55IGd1aWRl as a starting point, though some of the tip in this video isnt optimised

u aint need allat ngl
Wouldn't putting more units in East of Prussia help?
So I'm playing Qing china I kicked Japan out of mainland China part from pieces in actual Chinese territory but I'm kinda scared because I'm probably going to have to fight the whole chinese factiom completely alone
the teefeeraw one isnt good to learn with, it uses sheep ai which plays well (which means Germany gets boosted by its minors)
i disagree
still covers a lot of optimisation techniques like spies, collabs, conversion etc
planes, optimal division designs
whatnot
so true
Japan got completely demolished
true, but you wont have identical numbers even if you follow the guide exactly
all of that can be achieved in vanilla and will absolutely stomp vanilla AIs
Thinly they only have like 40usn divisions left
if you follow a guide to the T you arent learning anything
upgrades isnt a deficit
it just means thats how many old planes to be replaced
its a non issue
watch the guides i just posted
just
stop playing
and yea do that
for a bit
I'm loading Old World Blues
bittersteel is good for some basic concepts
his mountaineer template 💀
Guys what should I do about the Chinese front
whats the optimal mountaineer design anyway
I think that shows your stockpile.
Did you deploy your airplanes?
8 marines 8 mountaineers? @sharp sierra
something like that
im not a crazy optimal theory crafter
ill put a tank battalion or two in
I just do mountaineer space Marines so op
S-S-Space Marines?
@modern bison also this guy explains meta mechanics https://www.youtube.com/@segl99

DEATH KORPS OF KRIEG.
you're*
Me or Read?
Ypu
Fair, I fully agree with him.
Why does my son only play Germany with historical flags on
Help, why is my son playing as Ceasers Legion
what is that from
skibidi legion
roadblocks
Anyways, here's the Provisional Republic of Texas.
alr
I know what kind of person you are
Not u
yea ik but like what about me
Idk bro
synapse
Hey, did you deploy your aircraft?
So true, free Schlep
yeah i just got destroyed by the allies
im gonna play again tmrw
its getting late
i got school tmrw
Because I think the yellow deal is what you have in stock.
nope its def not
thats just how many planes you have to replace or some shit
i dont know its basically not important
wtf
What?
Doug Doug
Historical
i didnt know you could throw the p word around in here without having your spine thoroughly discombobukated
and i messed up the L
Why doesn’t anyone use motti tactics anymore irl
its called guerilla warfare
@grok fact check this please
It requires freedom of movement
Typically not found without air supremacy for the defending side
Typically not found for the attacking side because the territory is controlled / trapped by hostile forces
Small encirclements would work, sure, if there was no remote methods of spotting
RADAR, drones, binoculars
Typical frontlines are very well monitored in modern day
Phones are tapped for camera info, media is analyzed
USA trying to sell me a suspiciously unholy amount of energy, is my game cursed?
Marshall plan
still doesnt apply to places like yemen or myanmar
or sedan
sudan*
sedan 🤦♂️ i really said that
yeah its my plan
i remember this being in my (vietnamese) curriculum
They are also well monitored by the parties that want to
Even the west papuan frontier is monitored with drones
Its just typically having cameras into forests/jungles is challenging
Will USSR attack if you take over Baltics as Germany?
so weird to think there are still places untouched by humanity
like papua new guinea
?
relatively
They are fighting natives there
Which i cannot go into
Because thatd be modern politics
i should find out whats going on there
Yes you should
nobody talks about it even though im literally in australia
Its west papua btw, not papua new guinea
Theres an australian news network reporting on it
Ill dm you
oh? everyone calls it PNG
still my point is its weird to think there are still literal tribes walking this earth at this very moment
No its a different place
like the north sentinelese or the ones in brazil
is it better concentrated industry or dispersed industry?
Dispersed for first year of having a mil producing a piece of equipment and for railway guns
Concentrated for everything else
concentrated
i found a weird bug with italy where if you go concentrated and streamlined production lines your efficiency gain bugs out and drops to 0
At some point they made it 1%
Its kinda funny how that path is meant to be buffs for railway gun
Worst way to build railway guns cuz production base efficiency matters for them
speer or goring?
todt
why
then an event will fire which lets you select goring
construction speed
gives me such whiplash knowing speer is an architect
Todt first then speer
Speer gives more output than goring because your cap is so bloated
As a military high command guy
Not as like the fuhrerprinzeship pick
100% cap is equal to 200% output
what does fuhrerprinzip goring do
So if your output is +75% from base but your cap is like 110
Getting +10% output is like better than 5% cap
Which would ofc be equal otherwise
Give prod cap
And some other stuff i forgot about
hm
how tf do u have 11m manpower as byzantium
what is ur conscription
wtf is a conservative grandee
Grandee (; Spanish: Grande de España, Spanish: [ˈɡɾande]) is an official aristocratic title conferred on some Spanish nobility. Holders of this dignity enjoyed similar privileges to those of the peerage of France during the Ancien Régime, though in neither country did they have the significant constitutional political role the House of Lord...
Anyone play tfr mod a lot?
is this a TNO reference 🗣
yeah me
union of america is the easiest to win as
UoA is fun too
I play patriot front to much
Atomwaffen or American liberation
then go american liberation army
god damn
Ok
that shit was aids
first one seems very easy
🧢
Anyone play a lot of tfr mod
the fart rises
hello yalls
love a quick game of hoi
a couple hundred billion people actually
no hablo espanol
take a shower
hey buddy, i go to taco bell like twice a week so I'm deeply famliar with hispanic culture
nuhuh
I love the roter morgen path in KX
ahh
lmao no way how did i accidentally time 3 researches perfectly
atomwaffen is worse to play as
well thats interesting ...
I got my elite infantry in the south, this war should end real fast
Franco being a master diplomat
“blitz war”
when your soldiers are looking like this
What do you mean.....
no supply
ima add logistics soon
just one supply hub away from total victory
statements before disaster
holy shit
ill take some stuff
playing hoi
If they're unguarded you can put some horse divs in for speed
fine ill build a supply hub
NO!!!!
alright no then
eh
so you are not wasting civvies!!!
just missing some minor stuff
germans will exterminate u
Last time i did this i incinerated them
like
it was bad
i had the same amount of divisions as the entire einheitspakt
Lowkey
i will play them next
they seem cool
do this while listening to the chinese united front radii
its on the workshop
Ok gn
bye
is roman empire hard to form?
how do i take britain before 41 tho
if u were able to get france and benelux in the peace conference, its even easier
move ur navy to weser ems
before u go to war
if u didnt
i took bulgaria romania yougoslavia greece
u cant
because instantly when u declare
they have it there
i tried
its even easier to form rome if u got the balkans early game
then there is nothing you can do
then kill the uk
still got time
restart
no u do
i need to restart before i declared on the allies
japan attacks the allies in like september 1941
idk even then i skipped 3 months and didnt get it
theyre just not moving it
also i gave up on africa
use ur subs to convoy raid in north sea and western uk
u only need like 60 subs
or 50
and then wait a bit and uk will move their fleet
mhm
ill redo before i declared on the allies and try again
i got a few tanks and marines so i should be fine on land
sorta a fast war...
just sorta...
hello yalls
which one is better
uh what am i supposed to say?? thanks??
Yamashita's.
So kind!
You are germany why you are asking equipment in the first place
are we getting the dev corner in 2 hours like it was last time?
💀 from hungary of all people LOL
because i need equipement
but then i realised that most my equipement loss came from garrisons so i switched to my garrisons
i lacked like 7k trucks and thought it was cuz of having semi motorised logistics
yes
6k bseems enough
Did you motorized them ?
