hoi4-general

[frosty solstice]

since if im not mistaken compliance goes back to 0 after integrating the puppet

[fallow grove]

Can someone explain to me why the ai in 1943 has only 68 military factories

What are they building

😭

[frosty solstice]

67 for fun and 1 for infantry equipment

[zenith charm]

i wish there was a exploit that allowed you to get fuhrerprinzip while going ahistorical it'd be so op

[fallow grove]

Britain ai is producing 10 types of different fighters

[frosty solstice]

yo i want to invade britain as italy in 1937 how should i proceed

[exotic bridge]

diversity and effeciency

[fallow grove]

They only killed Italian fleet because Italy is incompetent

But they did not kick them out of Africa anyway

[hidden spruce]

cheats?

[exotic bridge]

I feel like 10 different designs is a bit much I'd make maybe 3 different fighters for specific things

[fallow grove]

Well Italian ai in 1940 has 40 military factories

I wonder what they were doing because they only got 34 civs

[exotic bridge]

is this tuff?

[jovial bough]

The devs were prob laughing their shit off when they made this focus

[glossy marsh]

truly the bedrock

[sudden grotto]

💀

[coarse trail]

A shining example of european democracy

Deport Hungarians

[sudden grotto]

Thats a nice tag ngl

[coarse trail]

Patient 0

[frosty solstice]

why is getting italian yugoslavia as italy so easy

it shouldnt be this easy lol

[coarse trail]

Because yugoslavians are too blind to do the zara method

[glossy marsh]

yugoslavia

has a horrible army

[sudden grotto]

Yugos really like pasta

[frosty solstice]

[jovial bough]

Secure Gibraltar ig

[exotic bridge]

[coarse trail]

Make sure to get AOE or puppet all of your african colonies in the meantime

[frosty solstice]

[coarse trail]

Or paradrop yeah

[frosty solstice]

[remote quarry]

[exotic bridge]

yeah I know

[frosty solstice]

[exotic bridge]

I'm still taking it as a compliment

[frosty solstice]

can i core stuff if it reaches 100% compliance?

or are decisions and focuses the only way

[coarse trail]

Just release them as collab government

Much better than annexing

Unless you're doing formables

[coarse trail]

Ya only that

[celest dirge]

yeah, but 100% compliance is more than enough.

[frosty solstice]

alr

[warm palm]

I cant use a saved tank design because i dont have a bunch of modules such as close support gun. How do i get them?

[frosty solstice]

im tryna do rome

[quartz vigil]

Probably

[languid patrol]

[quartz vigil]

Then not

[zinc light]

So it apparently took a whole 9 months of Holding Out against the germans as poland for them to completely collapse
They're being pushed in the Benelux, by my ESTONIAN PUPPET, and I broke through in Slovakia

[languid patrol]

why puppet estonia? sov will declare war on it

[quartz vigil]

Maybe to have a justification to do so

[zinc light]

Cuz I cant core it, and sov will Go in on you If you have it

[quartz vigil]

.....or that

[zinc light]

Yup
I can Join If I want to

Imma Just let my puppet be taken

Not much I can do rn

[languid patrol]

:(

[quartz vigil]

I mean, in the end puppets are good for many things!
Like manpower.

[languid patrol]

what does ur poland look like rn

[zinc light]

Tho If Germany never does Danzig or War (because you already are at war) and you refuse Memel, the soviets will never actually get a Goal on you

[zinc light]

Oh its tiny lmao

[languid patrol]

bruh

[zinc light]

Well, I'm Holding good Terrain, behind rivers etc

Basically searched for a good Defensive Line and held it

[latent galleon]

[broken plover]

Wait yeah spain

[latent galleon]

[quartz vigil]

True.

Aaaaand you have to know how to get the best of what little it has

[broken plover]

More outdated than japan and USA?

[latent galleon]

No

[zinc light]

Just remove that unplanned offensive altogether, boom, much more bearable

[latent galleon]

Both of those have got a be like bottom of the barrel outdated

[broken plover]

I finished civil war

[quartz vigil]

I mean, it can't be as outdated as Japan.....

[kind vale]

Neither you should should make a new game and play as Luxembourg

[quartz vigil]

Worse mistake you can make

In my opinion, at least

[latent galleon]

Bro

[broken plover]

Which has the default focus tree 🙂

[latent galleon]

Do not join axis

[quartz vigil]

I just make civs, then build up and THEN do stuff

[broken plover]

What's the best one then?

[quartz vigil]

I told you.

[kind vale]

Better than japan and spains

[broken plover]

[heavy vigil]

[quartz vigil]

The best part about Spain is that you usually don't have to get into conflict unless you want to

[heavy vigil]

Possible but hard

[broken plover]

[sage plover]

[quartz vigil]

.....when you are commiting war crimes and conquering all the way to the Urals, you probably don't want to have to take care of micro-management

[tame copper]

I want to do imp Germany but with an ICBM arsenal

[heavy vigil]

its useless you dont have the industry to produce them lol

but you can rush them if you want

[rare ingot]

🙁

yes if you dont conquer !

[quartz vigil]

Yeah, but what if you are.

[rare ingot]

having core on all persian shit is strong tho

[heavy vigil]

also for ICBMs you need nuke projects too

which iran doesnt get bonuses for

[tame copper]

Is Iran getting missiles early a politics reference

[heavy vigil]

idk i didnt design it

[rare ingot]

I see 100$ in nuclear bonus

[sage plover]

persia + byzantium is so OP

[rare ingot]

100% *

[sage plover]

you can get cores on italy as iran

[rare ingot]

no way ?

didnt know that

[tame copper]

How

[heavy vigil]

doesnt help you need breakthrough points in air and stuff

[rare ingot]

lol

[heavy vigil]

which is tech slots

[sage plover]

ye, its a secret path

[heavy vigil]

iran gets max 4

[rare ingot]

hidden path ??

[quartz vigil]

Oil is either a curse or a blessing.
Plus points for the first one if you are an Arab country.

[rare ingot]

yeah iran technologic side is fu c k e d

[sage plover]

if greece forms byzantium, then theres a iranian path that lets you core all byzantium cores

[rare ingot]

you can get those 4 focus by 37 tho

[heavy vigil]

dont bypass filter or mods will get u

[rare ingot]

sorru

[heavy vigil]

👀

[sage plover]

only issue is that its greece

[rare ingot]

im losing my mind with iran, getting crazy

slowly but surely

[sage plover]

and unless your in multiplayer with a cooked greece player that actually forms byzantium, your 99.99% not getting it

[quartz vigil]

I love playing Yemen.

[rare ingot]

Ohh yeash I love small nation too

[lucid falcon]

greece needs to do byzantium, core italy then you need to form persia and core greeece. but it can only be done with cheats bc the ai sucks

[rare ingot]

yemen cool

is iran world conquest possible ?

[tame copper]

Imagine if they added genetically modified robotically enhanced socialist supersoldiers to the game

[sage plover]

if luxembourg world conquest is, iran is

[rare ingot]

fair enough

[quartz vigil]

Everything is possible with the magic of friendship

[rare ingot]

that buldge you got going into romania is czechia post 1938

silesia is above

yeah i can see it

[warm nimbus]

@split sequoia why did u leave mid game bro

[robust lily]

that codetjio guy aswell

[serene token]

I sense a missed opportunity to do an encirclement.

[languid patrol]

units couldnt push through those but they had all of their units on the front line so i just walked into their territory

[serene token]

Ooh

[fallow grove]

Anyone knows how to make Siberia as Tannu Tuva

[heavy vigil]

click decision

[silk furnace]

damn

amazing answer

couldnt have said it better

[fallow grove]

I just wanna know a nice way of doing it because tannu tuva even though tannu Tuva is the super major of hoi they got only 1 division

[languid patrol]

not the best but i like it

a bit border gory imo

[heavy vigil]

make more

probably play ahist so ussr is weaker cuz civil war

[glossy void]

How do I open the console?

[silk furnace]

or if you wanna do it hist i think Bittersteel has a good video for it

basicly just rush taking a part of china with your allies

then ask stalin for guns

rush mongolia and trans-siberian supply hubs

only attack soviet union when germany attacks

[fallow grove]

I need 50% world tension to ask for guns

[silk furnace]

welp

also get the portrait of karl marx for ticking weekly manpower

are you not communist?

[fallow grove]

Yeah im communist

[silk furnace]

then why do you need 50 tension

i might be forgetting something

then i guess ask for guns when ww2 starts

[fallow grove]

Im going to try

[silk furnace]

and also you do know how to make the ai think you have negative guns right?

[fallow grove]

No

[silk furnace]

just start training a lot of divisions

like as much as you can

make yourself be in a huge deficit

and then they will give you guns more likely

[sage plover]

ello

[ebon wolf]

Did monarchys have any political views?

[sage plover]

irl or?

[ebon wolf]

irl

[sage plover]

oh, ye ofcourse

monarchs had a variety of different political beliefs

thats why the holy alliance was established

because of the rise of liberal idea's in the west, the conservative kingdoms of germany, austria and russia teamed together

fredrick the great of prussia was also a pretty liberal monarch

napoleon, arguably a king all in name aswell

[ebon wolf]

Oh ok, thank you very much much

[sudden grotto]

As in?

[sage plover]

i just assume they mean in general

like, left, right, center

liberal or conservative,

authoritarian

[fallow grove]

Someone here plays Victoria 3

Is it possible to get Adolf as leader of Prussia?

[sage plover]

what

[fallow grove]

If the Austrian painter appears in the game and i can have him as country leader

And do ww2 there

[sage plover]

in victoria 3?

[fallow grove]

Yeah

I was looking to buy the game but I wanna know

[sudden grotto]

A commie prince would be...something

[fallen vigil]

its mountains and theyre probably entrenched and there are forts and you probably dont have air superiority

[sage plover]

[sage plover]
