sir, game can be cheese further
you never have enough steel
I smell the cheese
i wish i had unlimited steel
no hack
try it
Sounds hard
thats sissy
to difficult
thats boring
cheese legitimatly is fun
Why is ussr buffed
so buffer puppet turkey + romania and naval invade portugal seem the cheese meta for mega production and speedrun germany without taking poland
sir, my 100 factory on anti tank or tank NEED portugal
lacking tungsten is the problem
if you wanna cheese you want to put volunteers in spain
get +15% factory bonus woohoo
then do the equipment conversion trick to save resources?
whenever i try to get a tank army i only achieve it by 1945
does he know
tanks take so long to make
Why dose it take 1 year to get a war gole on Luxemburg?
war gole
because luxembourg is to badass
your too intimidated to declare war
Peakxembourg
same with tannu tuva
read the tooltip
lichstenstien when
i dojt know
game is unplayable without monaco and lichtsenstien
mk im finally doing acheivements for the first time since i started playing with mods
can you ask to play with like 1 or 2 people in #historical-multiplayer or does it have to have to be a big server
You can I think
what mods are you all using atm?
Currently playing left kuomintang in kaiserredux
So I should've taken Romania?
It's already available in game as an austria hidden path
Does Russia have a secret path
No, poland does though
I'd know from experience
any good tank designs to not die while invading soviets
bro invading the uk is the hardest thing as soon as i land they constantly force attack me de org me and then proceed to reinforce meme me out of every single province i landed in
Im the soviets
?
spam a port and the tile next to it
Try paratroopers
well have u lost riga and talinn
spam a port?
Thats findland
just keep on invading it
even if they fail?
yes, u should no1, put all ur air except for a bit on intercept over your industry onto the channel, once the invasion fires move cas and fighters to the region you're landing in
the problem isnt that i cant land its that i cant hold onto the provinces i land on
thats skill issue
the us is pretty powerfull
u need to build up air
fairly early
i usually put 15 on fighters and 10 on cas once i have heavy mg survivability and range improvements
mad at romania fdor declaring on sov when i was buildign up
also hehehe
rate the accidental infantry encirclement
hear me out.
RIGHT CLICK UR NOTIFS AND TURN DOWN UR SCALE I BEG UU
Hell nah
Tho...
yummy
guys im lazy i have all my armies under one firld marshal
Dear god that scale
i know TwT
It aint that bad cmon
it is
I play like this since day 1
Smaller scale = more focus fr fr
Ew
the second my tanks reach a port they drop to 4 organization
Chat do I have a bad pc if I have no graphics
show me ur tank dix
maybe a lil but hoi4 is more cpu
my tanks normaly have 44 organization
Why arent you researching doctrines fr fr
It's horrible
To you π£οΈ its beautiful
its the spec ops ones and im lazy
Rt56?
its better to js use inf or ideally use marines / amtrac/tank / floating harbor
do you have logistics company on it?
yes
alnd with inf then bring over tanks
thats what im doing
i may have waited a bit too long to bring in the tanks tho
Poland on historical is actual torture
330 isnt enough?
which side of grand batlle plan is better ?
well i sent like 100 there
yeah monarchist germany got me like 330 infantry
Btw this Is the irl size of ussr
btw 2 ham sandwiches are bigger than the uk
gasp
Yea, ik
what even was that
That was meant for a friend to poke fun at that account.
You're telling me that the soviets are infact larger than two hm sandwiches?
Wt reedem codes
What about 3?
Even 3...
Try 5
btw the tanks the germans used were bigger than their country
thats why it worked
Thats why the had fuel issues
like what do i even do as these guys
i had no idea the roman empire had a smaller land area than italy
this fire?
barbars inferrions π£οΈ
Spitfire
fire tank?
OH MY ORG
OH MY SOFT ATTACK
w design?
Yeah, I'd think it is
reliability doesnt matter btw
yae
too fast
(costs 45)
My average tanks have less reliability, I tend to make it 50
i would use christie but is it really worth losing 8 breakthrough
krill issue
Manpower issue
On fire yeah
You can steal manpower from Indonesia
Where extra turrets
Already did that
Why welded
breakthrough
Had 27 divisions
Its high relia anyway
For 20% cost
To the entire tank
But the had moterrighs and 2x the army and beter land for defends
do i put in the effort to make army groups
or just shove all them into one marshja;
Uh?
shut the up
What?
<@&846894118219022336>
what in tarnation
now we wait 20 minutes
that was the black sunday waiting time
Ye
vs the stellaris discord where if you swear once you get publically executed by the mods
300k easy
can i have a barbarossa tank div design?
Single or multiplayer?
single

So easy game
5 tank 6 motorised and your pick of support companies
Was like 2 mins for someone to clear that
Ye, you guys were unusually fast this time
I feel like I'ma pass out at work, lol.
Nah all jokes aside it was fast
im too weak to invade america, how should i help the axis?
what are the requirements for oster consipracy except the two blunders
cause ive played 4 runs where both sudeten and memel were denied and the oster conspiracy never fired
i think you need 3
is it 3?
is there a way to make this province a lvl10 fort
the wiki says 2
research the secret project for forts
didnt knew there was one lol
I think you need to start losing against czechoslovakia
that tile gets captured by germans every single time which results in total annihilation, is there something else i can do to help there
No, never played oster conspiracy
get better divisions
air
0 manpower
how
netherlands
?
Steal from Indonesia
wait u can do that???
theres like a few trillion indonesian men you can use
how do i use em
go to your division template
uh wait i think you need Together for Victory dlc for it
oh its integrated now
It has been integrated
ok yeah go to your division temps
ye
go to the top of the tab
this?
yes
Yes
They couldn't make it multi threaded π
only got copy and view as options
It got so laggy that I went BACK in time
gorp
yeah copy
then train
copy the best one
alr
Wai do the troops in map not change according to the designer
ty for the help lol
ideally you can research heavy tanks and add 1 battalion of Heavy Tank Artillery
max armor as you acn
tried that but becomes too much of a burden
its very much worthwhile
not for all your divisions
get a few
make your front as short as possible
mk so we're gonna ignore that run
MAXIMUM armor
completely disregard reliability
reliability only matters if youre out of supply
you can have 1% reliability and lose 0 tanks to malfunctions if you have supply
ill be in war with germans in like 3 months, probably gonna lose again but ill try it next round
I do think you could move that fort up there to the other side of the strait, it would be more defensive
eindhoven?
oh nvm
u said strait
if i give up that tile im losing control of the state
Yes, move the fort in friesland
ty for the advice though
Are the focus trees for China and Philippines part of a new dlc?
Yes they should be
hi
yeah
japans next
on the reveal
Waking the Tiger yeah
yeah a shit low effort one
like most of the paradox dlcs
A shit low effort that I bought tho
so they are charging us again to make up for what THEY did wrong
Can't they remake that one
they also already make a DLC for Eastern Europe and all the focus trees have since been revamped
No they are going to charge us for it
I didn't buy the new Germany one
I left Hoi4 since last year
I came back to see how was the game going
You should probably get back playing the game.
Pretty bad
People are getting pissed off at all the pay walling
Honestly i hate the paradox team tbh
Its ashame they make such fun games
Fair, but at least the dlc's aren't 60 dollars.
Dont give them ideas
Yeah but they are making us pay again for dlc that we already bought
@frail crescent i completely agree where your coming from i just dont know how to do it
Turn on non-historical and reroll until you get a german civil war and a communist britain, play defensively and keep an eye on the world and you should get it pretty easily.
Oh yeah dont mind me im just schizophrenic
Imagine getting achievements in non historical
WTT was added into the base game.
But
What about REWORKING waking the tiger
I did it many a time. As sometimes historical just pissed me off(denmark achievements suck)
instead of adding it to the game and making us pay for the same focuses
I just got 100% achievements in hoi4 recently
Hungary is my n1 most played country cause of those achievements
yep exactly
Denmark and Iceland
Miklos horthy and the habsburg prince?
Did they confirm that it was gonna be a new dlc, or a rework on the WTT?
and Afghanistan
nothing is confirmed
That's the only hungary achievement i've seen people complain about
A new dlc
u re only really paying a subscription
are you sure?
i think the new dlc is just phillipines siam and japan
On a focus that we already paid before another 20
+china
and that the china rework is confirmed
I don't think we ever had freedom.
You can just hold the sutedenland against germany with austria-hungary by not calling in Austria and making some extra forts along the polish border
regarding these pdx games no
yeah do we know if its in the dlc or if its a rework which will be included
I want to play the phillippines finally
they got a unique tree
and i'm excited for it
i wanted another island country
wait is the new hungarian tree exclusive for Gotterdammerung
Australia and iceland suck too much
THEY GROZIN π±
or is it integrated to Death or Dishonor
i m praying thatthe day good devs start working on games comes sooner
oh hey, non-hist
i might not get to live that day though
Third rome go BRRR if done right
and it looks like ukraine and belarus never showed up
so good luck with that border
The new Hungarian tree is with GDR
If you don't have it you'll just have the old tree
the hungarian tree
so trve
the new dlc added a new focus tree for hungary
the one with death or dishonor
ok
is base game
they integrated that dlc into base game
and made it mode expensive
to prevent ppl from cracking more dlcs
at least they pay a higher amount for the base game now
rip to all my fellas who bought TFV DoD and WtT
- it s a pain in the ass to make a dlc compatible with 50000 versions of the same game
the game is more expensive now
as expensive as apl those dlc
all *
The game does go on sale.
6β¬ from eneba
so do the dlcs

π
i played a mod
a custom mod
that allows u to have peace deals
separated from the whole faction
if you cap an enemy country
life could be a dream
u can request them to either give u land, reparations or other stuff
achievement cheese would be a cake walk
how does expeditions work? i sent 24 divisions to help germany and they disappeared
and they can accept or refuse
check your theaters
wdym backrooms?
they arrived and disappeared??
no they disappeared the moment i sent them
Still nothing about new dlc right?
nothing
Alr
its been 45 days
π
could the convoys they were on been destroyed?
Damm my pc can't Handel 1.1K+ troops
Force it too
I'ma get a steam deck, hopefully
Why ?
I can't afford a really good pc
I'm on break rn, AT MY JOB.
π€ is that good in your country?
How is it that germany has a more historically accurate barb than on most historical games?

Kaiserreich is still good
Yall i tried to make an modern map without any mods or anything, just console commands, is it good
Its September
you know what that means
MERRY CHRISTMAS
( im filipino )
budgeted md
Choom
How did you do this
You released certain countries?
toolpack
NATO is missing sweden, croatia, portugal
Btw you forgot Croatia and Sweden for NATO
Thought Sweden was still pending.
nope
Sassperilla is good.
sorry didnt watch the anime i only know the base of the anime not evrything
Play the game.
Its based off of a game.
yeah i know the game the game is cyberpunk 2077 and the anime is cyberpunk edgrunners (edgers)
how do i get rid of seperationist sentiments as brazil?
In millennium dawn what is Manchuria called
is anyone down to play some hoi4?
Yea
northeast
Austrians refused Anschluss on historical mode
maybe reich was too weak
italy went non hist
that is why
prevent austrian anschluss focus
also others may help
Oh nahh they joined allies
if a country goes non hist it will affect everyone else
hey guys i need friends to play hoi4 with shi gets boring alone after awhile lmao
i got hoi4
f off
me too !
backfired
<@&846894118219022336>
i thought this was another server (mine) same layout
is that a self promotion
larp
larp
ok but likeeee hoi4?
i use alpine btw
I'm learning Linux just so I can pass College with a cyber security degree.....
are we getting a japan rework?
almost certainly, yes
guaranteed
months ago
finally
I bet an egypt/saudi arabia dlc is going to be after the pacific dlc
or a british/america dlc
or a france/italy dlc
country packs usually dont have major nations
Italy!? but theyre focus tree is so recent, its already very good
it kinda sucks imo
vichy france better than the mid napoleonic
No France is best though.
Have y'all read 1984?
Was forced to in school
Been thinking about the last part of the book a lot lately.
literally 1984
How do we know that Ingsoc stopped the advancement into Africa.
Balkan expansion next mark my words
idk
Albania , Greece , Romania , Yugoslavia
FFS please no paradox
how do we know that ingsoc even owns all that it claims. it could just be britain
Been thinking about that as well.
isnt ingsoc in anglo countries only
Saudi and egypt will be peak
The book throws so many curve balls.
depicted as such atleast
but thats what ingsoc says so...
i hate naval invading so much not even 49 divisions can defend against 16 when they lose all org traveling to a port its nearly impossible to hold onto provinces while getting reinforce memed left and right when you are supposed to be attacking
The book takes place in Britain, but it says Ingsoc controls all of North/South America, some Africa and Australia/New Zealand.
We dont know, that's the thing. They May and csn be lying about everything. There May Not even be a war at all
Which could be another thing.
Also, the Epilogue is written in past tense, I think.
So would that mean that Ingsoc was overthrown or captured?
does anyone know if you can get the HRE by going down the military government path
wehrmacht?
dear that guy who said that landing on uk is hard
its hard if u dont rush and u like wait 2 years imo
oh yeah duhh
but even then its not unbeatable
Rushing is harder
js invade as soon as france caps
It's doable at any stage of the game
see above image
how so
peak
Cuz you cant as easily kill uk navy?
this is the focus i mean
yeah but most playthroughs you usually just pray for a lucky second where the channel or the north sea is green atleast i do i have no clue how to play navy
they pull out of chanel all the time
they had less than 40 in when i sent
Ok thats not the point
Supremacy isnt rlly the issue
Subs convoy raiding you is more the issue
if you build destroyers early its ez
in shallow sea
Yes
You just need navs up regardless
Subs arent that scary
if its that big an issue jsut convoy escort
Destroyers just die
bathtubs
okay so the issue here is you are saying its hard when i have just landed for the second tiem today on my second run today
No?
screening
Im not saying its hard
anyone know if u can do hre down this path??
this
Yeah i didnt say its hard
It is hard if you don't prepare
havent played monarchist on new tree id assume just the old one
guys churchill heard me taking shit
i love the magical cheese button
no defense?
German France, and you dont annex alsace?
truly disgusting
i did the reintegrate focus and it still gave the collab that
collabs take away cored states when released, that probably should be changed really
truly tragic
help i have 14 troops who wont listen to any general or field marshal order
lmfao
Taking out the allies early is boring
doing an acheivement run cuz i usually play modded
I mean that is how they failed to defend Malaya IRL
It is time to select troops and manually move them
The joys of micro
trust
The only way to micro is to set small battleplans and tell them to go
you can use tab to make battleplans chain
I know
But I want to attack 1 tile in particular and battleplans tend to not do that
Should we attack into the tile that we surround on 3 sides against 5 infantry, or should we attack from 1 direction to a tile that has 4 inf and a tank using only 1 division?
you can easily just day one it
usa or sov first?
Me when i mass mob
USA is quite easy imo
The only "hard" thing is figuring out the basics of navy
Which is, group the navy up, seperate the subs and put them under another admiral, then make an atlantic fleet
Not enough build slots to be relevant
Millions of dollars and they can't make it run on multiple cores
I go back in time cuz of tha lag
guys
I got 1937 stuff in 1936
is having high velocity canon on tank for defence only worth it ?
Prob not
hmm thx
Wait
Im not a pro
Im just sayin from what I know
I don't think a tank for defense is efficient
no choice with urss
well
yes but, I want tank
lol
with only about 80-100 tungsten its not enough, trying to reduce it
maybe can make some tank hunter div using high velocity canon with a basic tank defence using only steel and chromium
"tank for defense only" youre already done
you wont need that against AI man
just put AT in ur inf
youll be fine
it just to hold the line really i can use cas to push after I bleed germany
AT need tungsten, alot
anyone help me
why axis is losing at 1942
who you talking about?
(not like im complaining, just curious)
anyone wanna do a duo game or soemthing?
Ai did something stupid and lost
Because you held them off from taking the french eco? Lol
If anything they should die earlier
Skill issue
i didnt i just held 5 of my provinces, belgium and france just won on their own
i was busy eating dinner :d
saw that axis was losing after i came back
Yeah so you held them from taking france lol
They need dutch supply to kill belgium
Belgium to kill france
in my previous playthroughs (i did pretty much the same things with little tweaks every time) germany just won everytime
without capitulating me
like in the previous 3 playthroughs it just punctured thru belgium
and capped france
also do u know why it doesnt declare war against soviets
like it never did in 4 playthroughs
even though capitulating france
(in the other 3)
that's not an endgoal
alpine (linux) users are like the hoi4 players who disable all dlcs, dont care about meta, use the same 20 infantry only, CAS only if mathematically optimal, has small IC cost, low supply usage, maximum efficiency
ive only played mp how do ppl do mp tanks
u played only MP
and u dont know how ppl do tanks in MP?
Any ship template suggestion?
no more howitzer :<
germany would make something like this
and replace one of the small cannons for radio 2/3
also make something like this
guys, are +10% more soft attack +- same as +10% defence ? (I know depending the attacker)
Alpine F1 >>>>>
hello im new to this server is there any multiplayer games for new players without dlcs
every attack adds organization and strength dice rolls. that dice roll's chance to hit is determined by the defense. no defense left = 40% chance to hit. defense left = 10% chance to hit
You dont need to match the host's DLC on HOI, you can MP with anyone
you get dlc if u join a host who has it
temp
wait really
yeh
You can find games in the multiplayer category
dw I see this assumption more often
@urban ivy the β aint welcomed 
thank you very much lovely people
bruh
π€βοΈ
im lazy i really wish there was a way to just draw a attack line for multiple field marshal
@stark coyote use your eletricity pole against them
i dont wanna make multiple marshal ordersss
Well that was quick ! Pretty much destroyed the british fleet in the med while funny mustache man was able to get navel superiority and land in the UK.
starting to understand navel a bit
Back in the good old days where field marschal could have the whole army lol
rahhhh
considering just ignoring the limit and tanking the debuff
proceeds listening to good japanese music at max volume (battotai)
120 divisions is enough
the casual barbarrossa
120 divisions is indeed enough for barb
building moar airfield cuz i have hella air
gang what
as germany the soviets get crushed by 43, as soviet the germans get destroyed by 43
atk is always way more powerful than any other stat
this is simply because attack stats are used in all combats while defence is only used in defensive battles and breakthrough only used in offensive battles
Atk stats also are the only thing dealing damage while defence/breakthrough doesn't serve any purpose if higher than enemy atk stats
although this is with seperate armies of like 10 divisions for marines and tanks
No more howitzer since you have to push high hardness and high armor tanks
actually howitzer has its place
in vanilla
Yeah I shouldn't have said "no more howitzer" tbh
Ware wa kan gun wagateki wa
Doesn't it have something to do with standardized MIO and wanting to grind it to level 6 so that you can put it on heavy tanks or something?
And they aren't bad at taking out the large amounts of Soviet or allied marine infantry
Against who?
Dying Light type shit
good plane?
that as well
no
what do i change
y?
if u want to upgrade something, upgrade the engine
from engine 3 to engine 4
when u will eventually get that
researching alr
for top slots
u need 3 x 4 heavy mg
for bottom slots... up to your need
self sealing, extra fuel tank, armor plate is standard
Locked tf in
u can do self sealing and 2x armor plates for more defense
u can do self sealing and 2 x extra fuel tanks for more range
also as germany u dont use Messerschmitt
u use the range MIO
Yeah basically
well i finally got to test something i have been wondering
No, you cant start a chain reaction from guarantees
If France has a guarantee on Romania and Romania has a guarantee on Yugoslavia
Fighting Yugoslavia will ONLY drag Romania into the war and France will not join or the other allies.

you could have simply asked

Even after the peace deal, you are left fighting Romania, they wont join. Which is SO nice to know
ooh mb
who did u want to invade yugo as
However i want to backstab the axis when they start losing to get the rest of Romania and Croatia
Hungary
π
Because they did not give me banat
or vojvodina
So Me and Germany ganged up
However i didnt declare war first, Germany did lol
I just joined

Wow is Hungary so much easier knowing guarantees dont have a chain
I was always worried about France if i invade yugo or Romania early
Yeah cause you aren't attacking the guarantor, they are declaring on you
I wonder if they go to war with those that guarantee you
french remove their guarantee on yugo
in march / april 1937
Croatia has yet to taste Hungarian freedom tho, that will be taken care of in due time
czechs do it in july 1937 iirc
oh ye ik about that, i did the vojvodina focus around that time
If he has electricity π
wth bro
china
aura
@rose siren disgusting π£οΈ

Man i should do Romania again after im done with Hungary
Romania is genuinely so easy simply because you can flip sides

So no matter what happens, YOU WIN!!
I do that once i levrage the axis and want to take their territory
u can like uh
so you can simply backstab them once they start losing
finally after 2000 hours of gameplay i flippin did it
For free yes but im greedy
I want more
I want to betray my allies
Yes, but im not skilled enough to fight alone against one faction
I depend on my allies a lot

italy is dogshit trash
So the king Michael coup really comes in handy
that's the weak link
no matter how bad you are i promise your allies will ALWAYS be relying on you
hold the line with germany at the slovakian/hungarian border
hold slovenia as well
invade italy from dalmatia
push towards the north
Ah yes, Mughal capital be like
Why is the Italian AI just bad in general?
historical accuracy
nice lol
Like i genuinely hated Italy when trying to play Imperial germany
next time i wanna play Imperial germany, im gonna side with the anglos and kill Italy
cause u play infantry only
why not enslave all
They lost rome in 41
AFTER WE KILLED FRANCE
AI when im playing against them vs with them

Btw current Hungary game was so peak i love this nation
πͺ ππΊ ππΊ
Peak childhood
look who's back
boutta be so fire
coulda been bigger but lack of supply
Ew
Let start throwing hands π£οΈπ₯
anyone help me
i can't enter the game, every time I try the game crashes
I have a video to show
It's 1938 and my like second time playing Japan. Just wondering if this is good or not?
Is it RT56?
No
What is it then?
PIllBox20 Bulgaria - Battle for the Bosphorus edition
thats alright
shouldve done collabs
K thanks
you waited with pushing until ichi go right?
No? Was I supposed to?
The negative stats don't do much tbh
yes
its useful so you dont feed china xp to fix their army
Yeah I really just encircled all of them and it ended with them have like 12 divisions in the end.
I dont think they got too much army expiernce.
How to get Konrad Adenauer
This is kinda what youd ideally see (i pushed too fast and had to wait on collabs :()
Dang alright.
Also you wanna drag iran in
Because pure vanilla japan doesnt get oil
Get their oil rights + puppet
become democratic
Alright thanks, forgot I turned historical off and so i'm just going to invade Russia and get the oil there, they are in a civil war.
THIS COLOR SLAPS
since when is that the third bulgarian empire colour?
ah ok
Facts, One punch man type shit
i have never used it
i think pope is a little OP
ANYBODY WANTS TO MULTIPLAYER
guys, i decided to play as soviet mexico today
already have guatemala as my puppet
and gave them honduras
im fighting against el salvador and these mfs just refuse to die already
Whatβs better for a Austria-Hungary game now, Austria or Hungary?
82,000K mexican casualties against 200,000K salvadoran casualties
these guys are made of steel
yall i suck at this game ;-;
Same
bruh
same here
i thought defeating el salvador would be a piece of cake
its been 2 years in game
π
they have 202,000 men π
i didnt mean that bad
well, they have lost*
im playing defensive too, these guys are more entrenched than soldiers in the battle of the somme
make a couple good breakthrough divs to kill em?
Or cas...
yeah
im building some military mills so i can start pumping cas, i have air superiority but i only have fighters in my stockpile
turn all divisions after ethiopia war to 1 width cavalry
2
to spam spanish war with volunteers
im playing as mexico
too bored with my life that im gonna make mexico a nuclear superpower
a superpower that cannot defeat the thumb of america
π
Yikes
Tbf it is 24 units a tile
forget that casualty count, it has skyrocketed to 250K casualties now
the spanish
1.68M people living in a small territory
and because of maximiliano's fascist ideas
boom
big army
lol
even after all those casualties, el salvador's army still stands with 138,000 active personnel 
what do we think of this?
very pretty :3
they done balkanized russia, 10/10
