[pearl jackal]

hi chat

[analog ivy]

the ai is actually pretty smart ngl naval invading the netherlands while fighting belgium

letting the belgians push so they can encircle their troops

[pearl jackal]

are u sure the ai isnt just shit and got pushed back?

[analog ivy]

ngl i love the ai update in gotterdammerunbg

[pearl jackal]

at least they made an encirclement

[analog ivy]

probably but they encircled the troops so maybe its a big brain move

[pearl jackal]

yeah

[analog ivy]

i wasnt expecting a naval invasion to be set up before the war even starts

thats so cool

[pearl jackal]

accidental big brain most likely

[pearl jackal]

true

fair

[analog ivy]

sometimes i get outplayed by the ai when i dont pay attention lol

like i never garrison my coastlines and the ai takes advantage of that

[warped flint]

D-DAY

[analog ivy]

never seen the ai do d-day in north germany

[warped flint]

Right when i started to turn the situation around

Polands a loser

[analog ivy]

theres code in the game written for d-day that like gaurantee's that the uk naval invades near normandy in 1944-1945

its probably a random naval invasion

[warped flint]

les go

[warped flint]

idk

i have seen lots of tiny tiny naval invasions near there tho

When its summer ill launch a all out offensive to crush the red army

[digital aurora]

So in theory if i take the gibraltar strait and Suez canal than i have free reign over the entirety of the mediterranean sea?

[zinc light]

What is that komissariat left of Romania?

[zinc light]

Why Not the US?

[analog ivy]

COMMUNIST US

[analog ivy]

probably them too idk

i dont remember

[zinc light]

It was their plan after all

[analog ivy]

yeah probably

its most likely just the allies in general

not just the UK

[zinc light]

Yea

I love seeing Australia appear in Finnland '43

[analog ivy]

when is the ussr going monarchist lol

i made them go monarchist in the ruleset thingy

its 1939

maybe there was a civil war and they lost

[zinc light]

Yeah that Happens quite frequently lmao

Set the spanish AI to do Carlist, watch them get stomped because they're too dumb to do it properly

I mean so am I

But thats besides the Point

[analog ivy]

too late lol it didnt even cross my mind

im lend leasing equipment to carlist spain tho

maybe that would do something

im gonna do a focus so i can send volunteers

bruh my game crashed

why does the game not let me have allies?

[trim pike]

Theyre non aligned

[analog ivy]

welp there goes germany

[analog ivy]

whats the point of making a faction then lol

[warped flint]

I am using reichskommasariats plus

[zinc light]

What the hell

Oh, mod

Shouldnt that be Part of Reichskomissariat Balkan?

Like, they got lazy and smacked all of it in one

[warped flint]

Russia did a small counter attack here, ill retake all that

[warped flint]

I actually don't think so

not 100% sure

some don't consider Hungary to be balkan i think

[analog ivy]

w poland snaking

[warped flint]

I might have to go to service by requirement

[analog ivy]

i guess we have the polish empire lol

HOW

[frank harbor]

Ireland 👍

[warped flint]

The allies are approaching. i need to take the soviets out quick

[craggy dove]

which countries have best or unique naval buffs? Like for example iceland can convert convoys into cruisers and destroyers, canada has research and production buffs for ice carriers

[analog ivy]

might be cooked here

[lone sail]

i restored the ottoman empire and the austrian empire as my puppets

[frank harbor]

[neat kayak]

Chat

Today we will see the Phillies review

[frank harbor]

The what

[warm palm]

Im seeing the ai use paratroopers

[neat kayak]

Phillipines

[clear dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/look-up-scared-willem-dafoe-gif-17761333

[fallen vigil]

you dont control the suez though

[neat kayak]

I think i found the secret for navy

You dont really need capital ships

Only screens and torpedoes

And maybe carriers

[atomic grove]

i kinda have an idea

[neat kayak]

From what I heard light attack it's the only thing you need in sp

[atomic grove]

declare independence, spam cheap destroyers, go fascist, ask a country in europe for mil access via opinion and maybe diplo pressure, declare war on the dutch, do the impossible naval invasion, begin spamming submarines and create divs using indonesian manpower, invade spain, join the axis, invade vichy france, join the war and kill the uk, and kill japan

[serene inlet]

my volunteer division were in yugoslavia and now italy make it its puppet, and my divisions are stuck there????,

nah what the actual hell

like i cant get them back

[atomic grove]

i wont test this strat rn though

[sullen parrot]

this looks super cool with the names, like straight out of Kaiserreich or even better. What mod is this if I can ask? Or did you map paint by hand with commands?

[neat kayak]

For what country?

[urban ivy]

japan

period

[atomic grove]

philippines

[atomic grove]

japan and usa

[urban ivy]

usa doesnt have raiding fleet mio

japan has tora tora budd

buff

i think that beats any nation

[atomic grove]

usa starts with a shit ton of civs and dockyards

japan has that but without the shit ton of civs part

[urban ivy]

ok so?

japan can fully grind their admirals

[atomic grove]

therefore japan cannot build more dockyards all in into other stuff

[urban ivy]

in the sino war

[atomic grove]

so can every country

also china barely has a navy

[urban ivy]

i bet u ve never actually played japan

doing naval larp

[atomic grove]

i have

im too lazy to reorganize the navy and the other parts of the navy

because

im not playing it anymore

[urban ivy]

yea

why didnt u fully annex china

[atomic grove]

because why would i

i have them as reichskomissariat or whatever its called

[urban ivy]

cause u do 100% collab

[atomic grove]

plus i have a bajillion civs and mils

[urban ivy]

and u can fully utilize their factories and resources

u lack aluminum and steel

[atomic grove]

nah

i didnt

[urban ivy]

in china u can get that

with escav tech

[atomic grove]

and i boosted that

[urban ivy]

and japan can get fully grinded admirals

before joining ww2

[atomic grove]

i know

[urban ivy]

so the "so can every country" argument is not valid

[atomic grove]

i simply destroyed the british navy

in the indian ocean

[urban ivy]

yea cause it s AI

[atomic grove]

to get better admirals

yes

[urban ivy]

ai doesnt stack their fleet

doesnt refit shit

u can just use land navs and subs

u can down the enemy fleet

[knotty sonnet]

anyone wanna play hoi4 with me?

[lone sail]

im not letting china take this

i have level 10 forts there

[urban ivy]

💀

[hollow anvil]

Does anyone have a spreadsheet or smth for prioritize economic growth vs 4 year plan? On germany

[lime sphinx]

oh my lord they weren't joking

first thing I see here

[hollow anvil]

Joking about what 😭

[cedar lance]

🇪🇪 6 Months on from PEARL TALLINN

[plucky sage]

how do i get to justifty as japan against china in 36 with democracy focus

[silk furnace]

prioritize is better for 39-40 start if i remember right

and 4 year plan is better for really early war

basicly prioritize=more civs

[hollow anvil]

4 year plan is garbage if you don't get autarku anyways, I'm looking for a spreadsheet cuz It's for MP 😭

[silk furnace]

4 year=more mils

[silk furnace]

ohhh

ik its garbage without autarky

[hollow anvil]

Even for late game?

[silk furnace]

i dont have a spreadsheet sry

[silk furnace]

depends on if you get autarky or not

autarky is op

[hollow anvil]

Assuming everything goes right and I get autarky yes, I will invade spain for autarky 😭

[lone sail]

you have a focus for puppeting them

[hollow anvil]

Yeah but they join allies so you can't really puppet them ever

I just turn them into a reichkommisariat iberien

[lone sail]

spain never joins the allies

their fascist

you can puppet them pretty early on

[hollow anvil]

In my game they always do 😭 I don't have dlcs so I assume it's cuz of that?

[lone sail]

maybe

base game hoi4 is💀

[silk furnace]

pirate them

[hollow anvil]

Nuh uh, I no no wanna russian viruses

[silk furnace]

its not russian viruses

and my pc is fine

oh no mod is typing

[sudden thistle]

Not a real hoi4 player if u don’t put ur entire net worth into dlc

[silk furnace]

quick hide the messages

[sudden thistle]

I’m not a mod 😭

[silk furnace]

ohh

welp

too late

[hollow anvil]

Looked like a mod 😭

[hollow anvil]

Not worth it 😭

Like the dlcs cost too much

And there's more than one paradox game...

[silk furnace]

dont say that

[lone sail]

MANGOES

TAHITI

[sudden thistle]

Sales

[silk furnace]

they still buy em tho

[sudden thistle]

Or just get a friend that has them

[lone sail]

when the moderation is so bad you can say whatever you want

[silk furnace]

what is a "friend"?

[lone sail]

paradox has to increase their conscription law because they dont even have enough manpower for garrisons

[silk furnace]

just ask their indo puppet for more manpower

[golden stag]

Don't pirate any DLC.
There is no way you can find the files on a website starting with cs

And there's no technology that can unlock the DLCs

[silk furnace]

there is

its 1957 tech

[golden stag]

In any case do not download anything whose name starts with "Cream"

[silk furnace]

ikik

im not that stupid

[golden stag]

well it's immoral

Piracy is so wrong

[lone sail]

ngl piracy is only moral if the product isnt available in your country

[golden stag]

Here comes the 1984 guy

Literally btw

[dusky dawn]

The current risk of Anschluss is Medium. Should I be scared?

[icy crescent]

Where even is Germany located?

[sudden thistle]

Yeah

[uncut pollen]

yeah

[icy crescent]

Yeah.

[dusky dawn]

should i build forts?

[uncut pollen]

yeah

[silk furnace]

yeah

[silk furnace]

so true

especially after ww2 has started and it means litterally nothing

[uncut pollen]

[uncut pollen]

i mean if you attack poland very early poland dosent join the allies

[silk furnace]

but then there isnt a guarantee

[coarse trail]

I always attack netherlands and poland early as germany

[uncut pollen]

trust me

they cant join the allies before 1939

[sudden thistle]

Why

Why not just larp

[uncut pollen]

larp?

[coarse trail]

They mean do a historical playthrough

Let poland join alies

[sudden thistle]

Yeah

[uncut pollen]

i get defeated

every single time😭

[urban ivy]

blud doesnt like building rubber

💀

[sudden thistle]

Just get better then

[coarse trail]

Me too private

But i still keep going

[sudden thistle]

If u send me a save of ur game before u declare war I can look and probably see what u did wrong

[uncut pollen]

well i play after i get defeated always some papers please

its qalming

[silk furnace]

civ greed till 41

always works

[coarse trail]

I do civs until 38

[urban ivy]

too late

[uncut pollen]

ok than im gonna start a new safe rn

[urban ivy]

u should not do civs

at all

infrastructure in 3 states and mils only

that's germany gameplay rn

[silk furnace]

you should until like maximum mid-late 37

[coarse trail]

Only if you're USSR or USA

But you'll need civs bro

[urban ivy]

no

u do not

[coarse trail]

As other nations

[urban ivy]

u do anschluss rush

[coarse trail]

Oh well right

[urban ivy]

actually ussr is one of the only nations

that build civs

as minors it's a waste. u get more value if u do mils

[silk furnace]

i usually build civs as ussr

but def not as japan

[coarse trail]

I'll keep that in mind

[urban ivy]

and ussr it's good if u do them until mid 1937

[silk furnace]

japan just rushes stuff

[urban ivy]

but for germany u have A LOT

of civs

u dont need extras

u get ur industry from austria and czechs

[coarse trail]

I just build 4 civs as ussr and build mils

[silk furnace]

im a huge civ greeder

[sudden thistle]

I build like 5 civs as Japan or atleast until I get 2 full construction lines

[vapid bough]

max out every single dockyard as USSR before building mils

[coarse trail]

I just make sure i can build 2 mils at once

[silk furnace]

i mean, maybe, sometimes i do that

depends if im going hist war start date or 38 war

[golden stag]

How

[coarse trail]

Spit ur shit king

[bronze mango]

Build infrastructure till 43

[silk furnace]

i might even try that

[coarse trail]

Build forts bro you're just asking for it

[golden stag]

Germany gonna crush u bro

[silk furnace]

nah

[vapid bough]

naval ussr secret key to godhood

[coarse trail]

On gah

[silk furnace]

they wont attack me

right???

right?

[coarse trail]

Right.

[silk furnace]

like why would they

[vapid bough]

the Germans always respect Molotov-Ribbentrop why are you scared?

[silk furnace]

exactly

[dusky dawn]

idk. after war with germany the anschluss tab was still there. i could even get garrisoned state modifier on german territory

[vapid bough]

If you build a single mil though they will assume you are planning to attack them and will attack first
so the strategy is to not build a single mil the entire game

[silk furnace]

yes

[golden stag]

Based

[deep oasis]

Befehle?

[silk furnace]

i have played like 20-30 ussr games and the germaans never attacked me

[atomic grove]

ive never seen a norwegian civil war before

[sudden thistle]

Go into files

Find the save

If file is too big, compress the file and then move it

I don’t get home for 10 hours so u will need to wait a bit though

Finally, my country gets a focus tree

[coarse trail]

I knew it bro, philippines had to get a tree

Indies and siam getting one 100%

[neat ether]

Agreed

[sudden thistle]

Go to save games

[sudden thistle]

Look for the save game in this folder

[primal timber]

spend 2/3rds of a year to get an army

they better do japan devblog next

[rancid bramble]

Not “I shall return”

It’s “WE shall return”

[zinc light]

I'd call that pretty solid

[analog ivy]

is this the best focus in the game?

[west sequoia]

whats the most casualties you guys have seen in a war

[uncut pollen]

there are alot of folders

[golden stag]

Philippines

So Philippines, Japan, China, Communist China, Siam. French Indochina might get released with no content

[golden stag]

The folder you're looking for is literally named save games

[analog ivy]

went from 29 factories to 37

[golden stag]

No, because you need to have finished all Allied Investment/Axis Investment to do this

as in the effect

[uncut pollen]

no save games folder

[neat kayak]

The Phillipine ft looks small

Especially communist branch

as for SP it would be my Ragnarok run back in 2018 or something (before waking the tiger DLC) where there was something around 300 million casualities

[uncut pollen]

@sudden thistle

[fallow grove]

Can someone explain to me what means blow the Suez Canal

[snow rain]

probably not, you get a total of 3 civs, 4 mils and 2 dockyards. It's not that much. considering some focuses (like soviet tankograd) gives you up to 10 mils
also, this one requires you to have done quite a lot of focuses beforehand

[golden stag]

Is this TWR?

[candid forge]

Blow the Suez Canal up

[candid forge]

no

[uncut pollen]

suez canal goes kabumm

[primal timber]

they're not very big either

If i control it Britain has no way to enter the Mediterranean right?

[golden stag]

Mengkukuo and Mongolia

[primal timber]

cause europe is "the important boys" trust me

[golden stag]

And Austria is actually interesting to look at because, well, Austria Hungary

The Austrian Commie tree is also bad

[uncut pollen]

they can enter it trough the street from gibraltar

Oh

If i have both ways Britain can’t trade with its colonies?

Is there a server or info out there that can help me win against a player controlled Italy while playing Ethiopia?
The player in question has less than 250 hours so it may be possible.

[fallow grove]

You can’t

They can send their whole army to Ethiopia

And you might need the whole lobby to send you volunteers

[clever fog]

Dont take this the wrong way but do you know of people who discuss things like this

Its doesnt need to be ethiopia exactly

Not really

[cyan elk]

TNO I think

[clever fog]

Alright, Because im trying to try to teach a bozo a lesson for what he did to me when we first started playing but I want to humiliate insted of outright destroy in a fair fight. I also want to make sure they feel confident they can win so that they dont run away

I'm trying to go for lone wolf achievment but the soviets got that little island between sweden and me. Naval invasion tech is still 75 days away.
What would the best plan be if i'm to late and soviets have capped while i try to go for the sweden & norway core after i get the island back ?

[serene token]

Do you have a previous save?

And normally they don't cap when Moscow is taken, if I recall correctly.

[quasi wharf]

nope don't have a save

[west sequoia]

that's a lot of monthly growth

[quasi wharf]

germany is getting close to stalingrad also

[serene token]

If they don't surrender then, you'll have to truck it to Asia, I think.

These ruining my perfect Reichskommissariat color 🙁 I guess it's cause I made the puppets before the war ended?

is Hindustan still broken causing Burma to look like that?

No idea. They are all my puppets. Thought I could give them to the big ones after the war. Same with Turkey

[fallow grove]

Naval invading them

If france declares war on you i believe they go to civil war against French commune

[rancid bramble]

They do

[hollow anvil]

Can't get naval superiority for some reason, the AI seems to prioritize the naval zones better now

[rancid bramble]

Im having same problems

[fallow grove]

Invite Italy

[rancid bramble]

I just spam subs with torpedos

[hollow anvil]

But Italy won't join the faction in 1936

Unless there's a way to invite them in 1936

[fallow grove]

Then you need to fight their navy and send them to repair

[rancid bramble]

My advice, search up a video for navy

There you go

[warm forum]

Best light cruiser for spam?

[hollow anvil]

It's 1936, literally, I don't have time for building navy 😭 it takes years to build up navy

I wanna speedrun allies cap 😭

[rancid bramble]

I know.

Is very sad

I just try to spam subs and pray to god

[vivid furnace]

The new US MP meta would be having the Philippines as the "2nd" US player.

[sudden grotto]

Paratroopers is the way fr fr

[hollow anvil]

Can't drop on a port : ( cuz they defend everything

[fallow grove]

Or just wait to 1939

[sudden grotto]

Not everytime, you can encircle them and put thousands in cas on them

[fallow grove]

Attack other countries meanwhile

[sudden grotto]

Trust me

It works

[rancid bramble]

You get air serpremacy?

I can get sh-t in my games as Germany 😭

[hollow anvil]

Yeah but I don't think paratroopers are good enough to actually fight those divisions 😭

I might be wrong

I think Chile did something too

[cursive oxide]

Guys do use the koningsberg troops form there or from ? the main front

[limber jackal]

Very close to the U.S.A.

[limber jackal]

[timber swallow]

thx i watched like 3 hours of strategy before this game 😉

[broken plover]

I have a question I was in multiplayer and we toke USSR and germany had 1500 points and I had 600 points at the end I still had 400 points and germany had 150 points and I was trying to get a land from him and the lands point to get them was 300+ but somehow germany was still competing with me and KEEP GETTING POINTS like at the end all lands were 500+ and my points were getting less and less but he's points got from 150 to 180 and still could try to get the lands How is that?

[quartz vigil]

That's normal.

[broken plover]

How?

[heavy vigil]

If you demand land first, and someone tries to demand off of you, its much more expensive for the latter

[quartz vigil]

When was hoi4 fair?

[cedar lance]

jesus

[broken plover]

Wait what like he had the lands before but I tried to compete so he could compete on them with less points cause he had them?

[broken plover]

Well not always

[broken plover]

What?

[quartz vigil]

You don't know Jesus?

[broken plover]

No I mean what does he mean by saying "jesus"

[heavy vigil]

Yeah

[cedar lance]

i mean that jesus christ thats HORRIBLE

[quartz vigil]

Ohhhhh.

Do you know what 'Man the Guns' and 'La Resistance' is-

[ivory veldt]

yes

[primal timber]

la resistance is midder than mid

[quartz vigil]

Do you have them.

[ivory veldt]

I know the DLCs I just cant make a decision

[primal timber]

1. france
2. janky spy system

[quartz vigil]

True

[lethal ether]

man the guns < no step back

[quartz vigil]

But it gives a focus tree to my beloved Spain and Portugal

[ivory veldt]

Pain?

[quartz vigil]

For the time it was cool.

[primal timber]

MTG has a naval designer

but no sane hoi4 player cares about the navy

[quartz vigil]

Cough.

[primal timber]

just happens most of us aren't sane

[quartz vigil]

I only spam subs and destroyers

[ivory veldt]

I'm doing spain as navy rn actually
I have no idea what I'm doing so I'm using the power of tutorials

[warm forum]

I never bought any DLC, i only pay for the subscription to have all of them, because the prices are very unapproachable for us in South America...

[primal timber]

if your destroyers don't have a gazillion torpedoes and a singular depth charge throw it in the trash

[warm forum]

Weak currency and all that

[quartz vigil]

Reasonable, honestly

[ivory veldt]

I've only recently realized that task forces shouldn't be a whole fleet, fleets are under an admiral, task forces is just how they are split up under said admiral

[primal timber]

how does the pricing work down there

cause i bought a 25 dollar game for 14 up where i live

-# (it was deltarune)

[quartz vigil]

Who needs quality when you have quantity.
-Iosif Stalin

[cedar lance]

i have 2 good hoi4 mods:

1. no div limits
2. no building slot limits

[primal timber]

ah yes just

give zhukov 432 divisions

and fill the entirety of chernigov with military factories

no roads

[cedar lance]

alr XD

im gonna use it as only as ESTONIA

[lethal ether]

do you know theaters and field marshals exist

[cedar lance]

yes ik

but mods make the game better for me

[primal timber]

yeah im sure zhukov can command one and a half armies worth of divisions

[ivory veldt]

Which DLC adds a better general & FM system again?

[lethal ether]

why do u gotta type ESTONIA instead of just estonia

[ivory veldt]

Is this guy an ESTONIA hater?

[primal timber]

otherwise he's a fraud

[cedar lance]

becus i can

no its just weird that he types one word full capital 😭

[cedar lance]

Becus i can

[quartz vigil]

He speaks Undertale bruh

Is there a problem.

[warm forum]

Just so you can have an idea:

HOI4 costs approximately 50 US Dollars, right?

A US dollar, is 5.41 brazillian real.

So, Hearts of Iron IV costs R$ 270,00 here in Brazil, and the DLCs cost R$ 150 each, meanwhile, the average monthly minimum wage here is R$ 1500.

Inflation and weak currency ahh country

[lethal ether]

For brazillians its def better to buy the dlcs

Subscription can double in cost just for fun fr

It was a Paradox Genius move to make that subscription

Imo the whole subscription vs buying dlcs just depends on your currency

[cedar lance]

just subbed to a new hoi4 mod called: no special forces cap

[cursive oxide]

I got Poland

If youre like USD or EUR the subscription is fine

But if your currency is weak its so bad

This way you can try the DLCs so you can find out which one you want

[warm forum]

Definitely

You are the attaccer

they attacc

[cedar lance]

whadya yalls think bout this mod

[primal timber]

starting off on some shaky ground here because the conversion rate here is like 1 dollar to ~57 for most of the year
you said hoi4 costs 50 USD
that would make the game 2,850
but of course thats bloody ridiculous
so they shifited it down to 1,999
minimum monthly here is 7,000 for scale
so deltarune's 25 dollars
that would make it 1,425
but toby "radiation" fox or someone else made it 765

like region-specific pricing can save your bacon quite a bit

[cursive oxide]

@warm forum smal problemen

what was i doing

oh right

being chiang kai-shek

hang on i swore hoi4 wasn't 1,999 when i bought it

[warm forum]

Once i've heard Gabe Newell said that the most effective anti-piracy measure is region-specific controlled pricing

That's why almost everyone have Valve's games in their libraries

[cursive oxide]

1937 mar 17 sir

[primal timber]

yeah no i think they increased the price when they

included death or dishonor and

the other one
