100 over cap I actually crash out
DO NOT OVERSTACK MY AIRPORTS YOU APE
CANADA GET YOUR STUPID DAY ONE CAS OUT OF MY AIRPORT
YES
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO AC AS UK IF YOU ARE IN THERE
sick of the ai massing trash planes and blocking me off
I am talking about MP
It happens there too
That is the scarier part
Actually having to build 50 different airports in the late game instead of something useful is annoying
thats why I main sov
The allies overstacking your airport with ww1 and paper planes
Dont have to talk to people
And why I do Bulgaria or France
imagine there being a multiple players one country mode
i've wanted to branch into multiplayer, but i know the meta is a lot different and i have to abide by ban lists whatever they may be
I only play co-op
I go free France. I kill German tanks. I am forced to move out. I sit right behind el ala with tanks. Germany dies. Or Bulgaria i just ask for mech for my mechwall and then never speak with anyone
one handles politics others handle army
Cuz spacemarines are banned
like they are generals or something
I'll play multiplayer if the british player lets me go Mughal india and make elephants 🙂
Play non hist no disc
best gamemode by far
just join random games
That is a thing. Usually on Soviets you have 3 to 4 ppl. 1 guy does macro. Another does for example agency. Another micros Spain. And once barb starts everyone micros
good idea. I just have to hope the british players don't try to stop me. The civil war becomes extremely bad if the british step in
you can do it in vanilla?
In MP yes
You can enable it in gamerules
Just turn on the setting
yeah gamerules
it helps for many of the majors
soviets, britains, and german especially
Having just one person on navy duty is amazing
UK coop is so boring
You usually do nothing but watch
but what if, non-democratic 🙂
I was with toaster on top of all 😭
if its non hist then you play by yourself anyhow
Sleeperfest pro max
We're talking hist
ah
Huh
Hi casey
Could be MW RR
Hi hyxness whats up
LR tho 👌
Coming in to reinforce creep on the front line here
I cant be satisfied with making reddit good at the game
Oh hes crashing out fr
Just win lmao
Superior firepower is good for a small army , but on the long run it's by far the worst
Small divs*
Its only good division design is 10w with maxed out support companies
Yeah my bad
There is a funny thing on austria where you can get 70% militia attack and its like a 12w so sfp is actually the best doctrine for it
I gave up on SFP since may 2024
its mostly a gimmick though
a
But at that point just go MA left
After 3 months of playing
YES
GBP L 4L
GBP right my beloved
what does army infiltration do?
Gives you more army intel
I think it lets you steal army xp? Forgot
And can see the exact number of mills , div design and so on
Not surprising
god i hate playing Australia so much right now
Australia needs a rework
Australia in MP is just rush fighter for UK, rush gun3 for UK, make inf and hold el ala
At this point all the countries will get a rework sooner or later
A. Random events keep getting rid of my partial mob B. Referendum doesn't fire in time C. Turkey's leader dies too early because of B
Pls don't rework my bulgaria
It needs some focuses cut to 35 day
I'm going for Australia-Hungary achievement, and i don't want to wait until 1945
And maybe do something with the monarchist branch
That ends spontaneously
And you can go down via fascist route
But hey
I am gonna enjoy my Austria
After I finish work ofc
2x e3 rush is both possible by nzl and ast
But its rlly good in singleplayer if you do it because like airforce strong
I mean you only need to get chasis for UK. Bcs UK will gets its own fighter at some point
And youre on islands they cant contest
No?
You need to get basic medium frame it gets you the engine spawn in
For uk navs
What
I have never seen this before lmao
its in your air tree one of your designs gives you 2x e3
Same for new zealand but they dont need tech for it
so question: is alt-history for non-historical games
Their first focus just gives it
battleplanning on 5 speed germany with 1.7 million men fielded feels great
or where do i look for those games?
Yeah
Damn
Time to make Bogs nz usefull
this is the saddest shit oat
Or just check the multiplayer tab in hoi4
casey clarified already
to be fair, i use mozilla firefox
i don't like chrome nor edge
god thats even worse
only thing worse is probably opera gx
I use opera bcs I like my Chinese spyware
My goat 70 days into the game
Peak
but ykw atleast bing got this
tactical bombers gotta be the worst type of aircraft
You can ignore the entire plane besides the engine
Oh wait I cant do this in Bogs. Swapping plane role from license is banned
You can still do it its just worse then :D
So i'm bulgaria and went the fate of the balkans route and of course i wished to invite everyone to my faction, i fit all the criteria to inv turkey and they accepted like 3 times in a row but each time they accept they leave 2 days after and it lets me send another ultimatum and they accept that one but then leave again. Does anyone have an idea on why this is happening?
I know
Just put all tech on air and be air factory
But your MIO sucks
Sadly
Generic air :(
Kinda hard especially with how good Supermarine is early on
It gets outscaled tho
You just make navs
Have you generated any world tension?
You dont make like fighters
2.5%
True
Ofc uk fighters are better
Yea that could work
Do they have a neutralist ideology of some kind, national spirit, etc.?
2.5% shouldn't make a problem
they are a democracy
what's your ideology?
check national spirits.
Oof
WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS 😭
yeah that would cause it
bro none everyone around me went communist and joined either corfu cooperative or joined 4th international
yeah, it's 100% that national spirit, i'm so sorry man
i hate doing bulgaria things personally
my entire idea was to steal the troops of people in my faction
and fight with their armies
instead of mine
Are you going for any achievements?
so i have a practically nonexistent army now
If you stakni you know you could die
or just having fun?
nah, just playing with my friend and having fun
wait i got an idea
if i get just enough political power for ultimatum + subjugation
try the communist path that invites people. And hopfully get at least 1 of: Greece, turkey, romania, or yugoslavia and integrate them for the free territory
i can immediately fire off subjugation
when they join
and puppet them
so they stay in my faction
that could also work
and have no option
my game looks so cursed ngl
canada replaced the allies with their own faction
mexico has a faction with paraguay
declared on britain and the us
uk is non aligned
commonwealth faction?
Normal
Yeah they broke from the crown
Normal
Normal
YO a non-historical and mexio went trotsky????
india is fighting pakistan which is normal
that's awesome
Ironically that happens like nearly every single non hist game
i would really like for germany to do a civil war for once
they literally never civil war in my games
the last 5 non historical games ive played
they remilitarize the rhineland
i found a decent way to get the mexico trotsky puppeting soviet achievement
bro
the uk just allied with germany..
😭
i guess i'll have to be the "lone liberator"
make the bolivarian faction early for spy master + max passive defense + look for counter-intel spies.
including my friend who is.. luxembourg..
then go for cruiser subs to invade the soviets
LOL
Do you not know what king's path entails for UK?
they always team up with germany, if you have fascist germany it's a game death sentence
i basically never play uk
they kill EVERYTHING
its a mid focus tree
is my friend cooked?
Did he build max level forts and anti-air?
and go for a strong division that has support anti-air
Guys denmark or guanxi?
both of those suck tbh
he should know all that
I FINALLY GOT TURKEY AS A PUPPET
WOOHOO
now i have a decent army
and an ok industry
denmark if germany is an ally. Guanxi if denmark is going to die
I want to experience the Northern lights
This is a must do in life
they should give extra mils and civs
be wary of using it. they will slowly work towards freedom via war contribution.
cuz of ferdinand
no no im requesting the forces
If you Choose denmark i gotta do the commie Path, guanxi Is vs all chinese states + japan
If you want factories you need to make them integrated puppet
That counts
Anytime you fight with their units, it boosts their autonomy
not true, ferdinand has an op modifier:
shrugs
they should give 40% of them
even when theyre not an integrated puppet
the last buff thingy
then it must be related to puppet status + modifier
that 40% must only stack if you already get factories from them IE: integrated
oh nvm
it came in
:D
it's not much yet
but it'll be something eventually
once i kill the bloody corfu cooperative..
which will be hard
yooo
my friend pushed one tile
:D
he so good
commonwealth of nations
and holy moly
the uk did a naval invasion
on france
italy thankfully
isnt in the axis
if they do influence my politics
i can invite them
to my faction
pretty sure
oh wow
greece canceled our non aggression
do they wanna start the war with me early?
What did japan go?
They will likely join the axis
my prediction: France dies, commonwealth eventually gets USA OR usa forms its own faction, Soviets and any communist countries come under fire by UK, Germany, and Japan in one faction.
thats the one thing i hope they dont
What is Italy's alignment?
fascist
they might join axis late, or they might join another faction. What are hungary, austria, czech, and poland doin?
what are the difference between these 2
oof. really rough game
normally in non-hist you want them to form something useful and stall germany
Your worst case scenario: 4 power axis, UK, Germany, Japan, Italy
In which case, you're done for
bro why cant i ss a single thing
i need to do a whole screen shot
not just a specific thing
my pc is crashing out ig
neh
meh*
screen shots don't want to work for me rn either
this is the world rn
not sure why
the beautiful green is bulgarian faction
non faction view
closeup of the awful europe
i find it funny how my friend held longer than france did
actually he's still holding
What's up with romania?
urm
so
they declared on trotsky
while he was still fighting the ussr
trotsky allied with germany
to fight romania
cuz germany declared on czech
and czech was guaranteed
by romania
so trotsky in the end
puppeted the alive part of romania
germany took the other thing
Gentleman
when they won
ah, that's good
Honest to god question
it's rlly messed up
do you guys think paradox uses AI for the portraits
no
maybe newer ones, but that stuff wasn't developed enough for the early ones which they ripped off wikipedia
yes
thats what Im talking about
what one would be ai??
compare it nice old ones
can yall send an example
with the shitty new ones
i dont think ive seen one that would look like ai
which one is a new one
can yall send one
I think the graveyard of empires portraits, you'd have to do non-historical runs and check each one
And the new dlc coming out definitely
oh yeah no now that i do a closeup of it it looks abit ai
id give it a 60% chance of ai
and this is like
with ALL new portraits
bottom ones are old
oh
top ones are the reworks
i didnt notice that the german leader was ai
he doesnt look ai to me
if i had to be honest
Idk
we don't know if they are or are not AI
maybe only the middle looks like ai to me
either way it looks terrible
but I do think they look AI like
german leader looks decent enough
Personally i think pink adolf looks better
The wrinkles are less defined and its more colorized
the skin is smoother
Hi :3
bro they're a puppet of poland??
the lighting is worse
hoi4 non-hist at its finest
I have returned
okay mac arthur
Oh right it’s not 2024 anymore
Sigh
What’s the situation?
Pioneer talking about new portraits possibly being AI art
Well are they
and Ink possibly going to horribly die in his non-historic game to a gigantic axis
THEY MIGHT RUIN MY MAO PORTRAIT
oh good, you got lucky
LUCKY??
they went down the kill italy path
💔
but now they get regno maybe....
italy hopefully joins a good faction
look at the axis faction members bro
this is NOT lucky 💔
why did my friend have to choose luxembourg bro
germany+hungary+uk = scary
o
i just realized a con of practically taking alot of turkey
(the army)
they now cannot defend against greece
which i mean
i left 7 divs
that should be enough
they should put them in defending against greece
not on my front
on which im dominating
So who are you at war with?
Looks like Yugoslavia
so im not at war with germany
i refused that
i told my friend not to inv me
im at war with greece and yugo rn
which thankfully isnt going bad
greece is fairly weak early on
only con is im going grand battleplan
cause i thought this game would go abit more normal
Yugo you might be able to force them into a civil war with croatia
If you can hit them down a few vps fast enough
That’s only if Germany invades
rn im trying to push
so far
i've taken all the historical claims
in greece
and abit of yugo
Who is the one leading corfu?
greece
Focus on the major of corfu and take them out, hold off the other
Yeah exactly
i shoulda thought of that sooner
sigh
if only i had a useful ally
and not luxembourg
Luxembourg is goated wdym
i just realized it is 6:30 am for me. i woke up at 7pm by accident yesterday, and i have a doctor's appoint me in 3 and a half hours
guess i am not getting anymore sleep
U woke up at 7pm?
yeah. my sleep got disrupted twice
Oh cmon
went to bed at like 2 am the day before. got a phone call at 10 am, then woken up at 2pm, and somehow slept again until 7
i don't know. my body just said don't get up i feel like crap
Legit me every morning
The bed is so comfy
BRO
LET ME ATTACK
STOP ATTACKING ME WITH NO ORG
their org is lower than my hope for this game istg
ah, is the ai doing that dumb tippy tap bullcrap to you?
yeah
hate when they bug out like that
lower game speed and look for an opening
or spam right click on whatever tile you want to hit, or battleplan it
hi friends
ok no
my friend is startring to go insane
and say insane stuff
honestly
i dont blame him
im going insane too
ADHASEDHJASDHA THEY CAPTURED MY AGENT
F
italy is still holding
~~send me the game ID, i'll join as italy 🙂 ~~
which i respect
i wouldnt mind 😭
but my friend gtgs in 5 mins
i wouldnt wish to continue without him
nah we always finish our games
no matter what
that's our policy basically
cause he's bri'ish
and british people never surrender
i sure wonder where he got that one from
am i doing badly (excluding the mp which im working on)
im trying my hardest to hold with entrenchment whilst pushing
just hold in turkey, thin your line up near yugoslavia, and focus on pushing into greece. use supply map mode and focus towards supply points
Look for your best units and use them as offense
Can I play hoi4 without a graphics card
you cant run a pc without a graphics card
yuh huh
my pc works just fine
ok
integrated graphics card vs non-integrated
so can i play hoi4
and you could play yes
yippee!
it's not very graphics heavy
but at least try the minimum specs
and maybe turn on settings that are toaster friendly
i have an i5 10600k
that's the cpu
yarr
4.1 ghz
6 core 12 processors
that's a hell of a lot better than mine
I wish there was a mode in between historical focuses and looney tunes - ahistorical things happen, but with a strong bias towards the feasible ones
it was top of the line when I bought it in 2020
that makes sense
hello yalls
good news
im gonna get for christmas and for my BDAY a Gaming PC from my older uncle
its used
but its still good
im angry i cant use my second monitor bc it has a VGA and my new card doesn't support that
but he hasnt yet replied
Is this mod alright?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3554369121
you just said that lol
alr sorry
time to play rt56
Bro
dude how he get in the lake
I've seen desert troops before but never a lake one
that's impressive
he belongs to the lake now
its a partisan division so i did not put it there
i cant even disband him
bro
this is a USELESS division
absolutely no use
what does "multisample level" mean?
that's hilarious
yo
yo
this game
is actually broken
i can declare war on someone
WITHOUT a wargoal
im on ironman
as well
either that or im just
stupid
I've had that bug a couple times doesnt actually work
they drowned themselves in the digital lake
multiple samples
hmmm
game randomly crashed
gg man 💔
yo wait
why tf is every country itw democratic
wth
how do i get rid of the mefo thing if i dont have the option anymore
mefo bills?
use gold to lower mefo bills cost
i should be able to cancel it
I SWEAR IM ABOUT TO TNO RUSSIA
you cant cancel if it hits 100%
PEG sucks
brrrrroooooo
you gotta invade
do i need to reload
invade who
anyone
No?
Just eco growth is like bad
everyone is guaranteed by the allies
and get the decisions to steal gold
You can do cancel MEFO
trust invade ussr 1936
Better
Cancel MEFO bills while on MEFO path
he says he doesnt have the option
Then do price control decisions after cancelling
i cant
Not anymore yeah hes on PEG
nah ima just reload
also
why do communist revolutions in bordering states take literal years?
if he did peg how did he reach 100% consumer goods factor?
like this focus tree is shit or what
1940 and like barely any contry has gone civil war
Thought on this 1946 tank division?
Cuz you gotta do focuses to lower it
If youre at 100% MEFO its sitll fine
OH WAIT yeah i forgot 😭
peak mod
thanks
quick question as white russia am i fried if japan went shogunate
i dont have a nearly strong enough army to fight them
Just give concessions during war?
Sometimes I lie to Chatgpt that I have friends then make up some crazy story involving them so it looks like I have a fun and interesting life.
lowkey shouldve done that
yo
thats so real
i'm honest to ChatGPT about everything
AI rn is kinda stupid. But we evolve it so fast.
I don't mind it
Its an advanced search motor. Better than google IMO.
ChatGPT helps with expanding my view on this world
No it just gives average result
Not fact checked just most common
Terrible way of finding stuff
I guess. But I do believe that like 5 years in the future, it will be a great searching tool.
No
Its made to give average
East Christianity or West Christianity?
Its designed for that
western is the original one iirc
Anything chatgpt gets accurately would take 2 seconds to find
And the rest often is just incorrect
Well, that makes sense. I agree.
Btw, what is that A like symbol in your username?
⨺⃝ discord doesnt display it centered correctly :(
The base game Germany civil war path is kinda shitty IMO.
ye i wanted new alt germany and Hungary+Austria rework
Love all 3
Oh, alrighty.
i was thinking of getting bba or nsb for the dsigners but figured that can wait.I want to have fun with new focuses for nations i like
I love the Gotterdämmerung Hungary tree. I am a big Hungary fan, when I play Germany. I always give Slovakia to it.
bba is basically a must have imo
cant play air properly without it
No step back and by blood alone are the must have DLCs.
Yeah but honestly, i figured id get it on sale because buying it simply for planes and peace deals didnt seem worth it
good thing i have every dlc except the newest one
Man the guns are also important but you can play without it.
i heard theyre reworking japan and china in the next one
China?
Meanwhile gotterdammerung gives me everything i ever wanted in a dlc pretty much
no
iran
i dont think the
chinese dlc is out yet
i hope its gonnabe out soon tho
i love playing china
Graveyards of empires. The only good thing it brought was elephants.
I love elephants so much.
im excited for the new chinese socialist republic
honestly
woooow is the new alt history germany tree so big and actualy cool
lotta stuff in here
Money well spent, loving what im seeing
i didnt like basegame alt germany ngl
democracy communism or
5 years of playting htisd game i still odnt understand navy
Oh My God Bruh
i like seeing enemy ships sink
Man looking trough the gotterdammerung commie germany woooow this looks so much fun
Make sure you go the Sparactists
I wanna see what they changed about Hungary. I enjoyed basegame Hungary
for now i notice horthy has new drip

why the hell did britain have so little divisions?
is it when you play communist germany and declare on them whitout the rest of the allies
People hate that btw
they just tweak out and make zero divisions?
i enjoyed my one gameplay...
Basicaly made something cool even cooler
the Austro Hungarian path is now muuuuch more fleshed out
I also did, but "ahistorical!!!"
Ngl bosporus is sooo cheap, you get new trees for 3 very fun nations 🙏
That is NOT the way to restore the Habsburgs bros 
allemagne
they are confused
im gonna help italy in a bit
i wanna kill germany
sweep in and kill the entire central powers
nooo way, a focus just to have my Austria Hungary blessed by the Pope?
this is such a based new Hungarian tree
10/10 for that one single focus
oh... ok...
Papa stalin has come to save me!!!!!!
Nahhhhhh burgundy Path Is good
Black ice?
can i do nothing about it
hey i mean
wtf stalin sent me FIFTY THREE DIVISIONS
Lol
tno??

Degrelle belgium*
ah so no map horror game
im gonna save drip horthy for later. I wanna play my new alt history germany
hi
japan
Prob like
Switzerland
well are u also new or just want something easier?
its easy
hello
bhutan
bro
I finally did it, i got australia hungary after like 6 to 10 hours of trying.
i only find germany and ussr fun now ngl
wait until china dlc
11 achievements left to get now.
same goes for britain they just have no good paths
i assume youve played bonapartist france more than 25 times for it to not be enjoyable
not nerfed tho they aer strong
No.
Its just pure war goals
i think there is a space in the production tab that allows u to get historical designs for army exp
or is it in the tech tab i can't remember
very fun
very outdated
also your stability gets tanked
i feel like france really needs a rework
huh?
after japan fs
britain is still alright but soon enough should get a rework
usa barely has a focus tree
very bland
well send me screenshots of production tab pls
have you seen their fascist path
and communist path
and lack of icons
that are unique
alright let me start up my game rq
yeah ive played it before
whatever its fine
but yeah those countries desperately need a rework
especially japan tho the focus has remained the same roughly since wtt? dropped
i hate how long they left it
Achievements i have left to get in hearts of iron IV: somehow he has returned, Islas Malvinas, Snakes on a plane(was glitched when i first attempted it), The danelaw(god i hate playing denmark), Lamento Boliviano(recurring theme, i haven't done much with argentina yet), Med plutonium 2(again, hate denmark), The dragon rises, Reconquistadors, King of what?, And the snake smoked, And the last one is need is New World Order(saving this one for last)
i honestly really think they should rework the napoleonic path
shouldve saved friend in need for last
on base path
all u get is just free wargoals and the ability to just release puppets
you just have some economy focuses locked behind 70 days
Any suggestions for The Danelaw achievement? i was having major issues playing as denmark. I tried teaming up with germany and making the axis work out, but it was really hard.
french focus tree is ROTTEN
actually I don't think that's possible
SMELLY
The axis just loves to fall apart at random times(thanks italy, and also germany hating vichy france)
is it our pcs that make 1943 laggy or is it paradoxes engine guys?
Is that the single tank they sent norway?
they should let you core its old territories like catalonia, piedmont and tuscany, the benelux, weser ems, and rhineland
literally everyone says late game is laggy
production tab
the path is surprisingly rotten for a very iconic empire in history
aren't there buttons at the top that they added
My best bet is by 1943, with the sheer number of divisions moving around for WW2 is causing the lag
I did a similar test by just getting 800 divisions and just shuffling them all over the map, same type of lag
OH YEAH
I SEE THEM NOW
thank you!
np
and you are correct
Like exact same. If you bump it up too high it eventually crashes. I found an entire secondary issue is the insane number of international trades on the market
life saver fr 🙏
I opened up the trading tab, it was like 1000+ items and it lagged hard
the game has to do like a billion calculations for the morbid amount of divisions of every country
which causes lag
Yeah
Some numbers really shouldnt be doing this much
because there are so much factors like org, movement/attack/def buffs in different terrain, strength, etc.
BUt they do. Number of divisions and nation tags lag the game. Cuz the game has to calculate leaders, portraits etc for those nations even if they dont exist
hence why most optimised mp mods remove even the useless releasable tags
its normal
its the engine
honestly i feel like the game should have a penalty on ur amount of divs that depends on state amount, core population, and conscription/mobilization law
Best mod is sigma of iron dont change my mind
Go play Kaiserreich lmao
because late game germany and ussr can just spam the living shit out of infantry divisions
hot take : i dont like kaiserreich
i did
AGORA does it too
My dms ❤️ 😊
China is worse
jk my internet adapter is shit and i cant fix it
but goddamn black monday crisis beats the shit out of non syndicalist countries' economies
yes
bruh
my discord lagged for a second
I never play mods tbh
that too
💀
I use colouring tools and state transfering things
thats about it
Oh and playerlead peace
Vic 3 hoi4 or ck3
hoi4
Real life war
Desperately need a mod that adds the thousand week reich ui into vanilla
Btw hoi4
what is this i have in my screenshots
Russia
Pietro Badoglio what are you doing here shouldn’t u be dead
russia never surrenders sometimes
its zo annoying
Wolks weich
a russia without collab govs
WHAT IS THIS
