[dusky burrow]

I know I got it working once on a submarine when in Sheep's

[tired crypt]

greece is the worst nation to invade up there w afghanistan

[hollow pulsar]

wait if they have a better module than you do,,, what's the module you need?

[hollow pulsar]

Benito-posting

[tired crypt]

afghanistan is equally as bad imo

or xinjang

[dusky burrow]

I am also an idiot, because the howitzer is not a heavy armament

[heavy vigil]

youll see it work :)

also license the SOMUA

[opal nymph]

I rarely have problems invading greece

[heavy vigil]

it has welded armor

[tired crypt]

my mughal empire runs have been screwed over by these two

[north tendon]

gn chat

[opal nymph]

Sometimes you just have to bash into Athens and get its supply

[heavy vigil]

hi jonathan whats up

[opal nymph]

Hi

Up is the thing above us usually

[tired crypt]

last i invaded Greece I was ottomans

[opal nymph]

Use the Turkish navy

[hollow pulsar]

you're not an idiot

[hollow pulsar]

goodnight chat

[hollow pulsar]

sparta mindset..?

[opal nymph]

Wait dont go, I need help for my intro to anthropology homework

[remote quarry]

it 100% doesn't work for tank

it works for ships in multiplayer conditionally due to a bug

[heavy vigil]

mp too

[north tendon]

what

[remote quarry]

and it works for any module except the first top row for planes(due to the license exploit)

[heavy vigil]

post peacedeal you get all

[opal nymph]

The class isnt what i thought it was and I only took it because I needed credits

[heavy vigil]

cuz you edit mio on

or a module

[hollow pulsar]

yes unfortunately it is not about Anthropology the store, it is about the subject

that's how they get ya

[opal nymph]

What's social control

[hollow pulsar]

I think they meant me but are you an anthropologist too?

[opal nymph]

I haven't had a lecture yet and im just reading books

Or a book

[hollow pulsar]

here I'll answer it in #off-topic

[opal nymph]

Neat

[dusky burrow]

I just had casey work me through it

Probably not for MP though since it requires reloading the save

[remote quarry]

oh yeah ship is something similar

in mp sometimes it happens when you hotjoin

[sudden thistle]

bro i NEED manpower

🗣️

[dusky burrow]

The feeling when you got some OP plane design but can't deploy it because you need 4000 people

[hollow mesa]

What path i should go to choose monarchy as hung (expect otto)??

[drifting sun]

Here we go again

[serene token]

Do I keep Historical AI on or off when playing Kaiserreich?

[young ocean]

I don't think it matters I think it goes non anyway.

[serene token]

It says unsupported, but I can't tell if its for Alt H or normal H.

[young ocean]

It's for normal since well, It hasn't happened before.

[serene token]

So unhistorical is the go

[young ocean]

yeah

[serene token]

Amazing lore

[opal nymph]

Classic menus not automatically scrolling up to top

[serene token]

Lol

[celest heart]

Is that patriot front or national socialist movement

[drifting sun]

Im playing patriot front

[celest heart]

Well I guess it’s better than atomwaffen

Either of the nationalists usually win civil war

In my experience

[drifting sun]

Not going the best for me so far, still prepping

[celest heart]

Dang that went poorly

Union swept

[drifting sun]

I won newengland too late to catch the union weak

[celest heart]

I guess you got unlucky

But Union will probably be too tired fighting commies

[drifting sun]

Ye im trying to wait for the western front to collapse for the union before I go

[celest heart]

Idk I wouldn’t take the risk of waiting

But I can’t say how strong Union is

[drifting sun]

43-183 divisions

To my 47

Ima save then see how attacking goes

Im such an idiot, I had 1/3 of my army training as I declared war

[opal nymph]

Mussolini moment

[drifting sun]

I jus forgor

[flat anchor]

anglo italian pact but fighting against italy

[frank acorn]

I want to cry myself to sleep

[sudden thistle]

Why

[hard glade]

Did you play tannu tuva?

[frank acorn]

I hate naval invasions

I cry

So much

I am playing France and the Italians sunk my fleet in the med and naval invaded me

And touched me vigorously

[hard glade]

Doesn't France have a larger navy than Italy?

How'd you lose against the Italians lol

[frank acorn]

I have no idea

I am looking at my saves before and my navy was supposed to be out

I am trying to save it but I am not doing too good, might be a wraps

[heavy vigil]

Theres the issue

Its supposed to strike force, not be out

[drifting sun]

The line has stalled

Why does it show the wrong photo

Wha

[frank acorn]

Ima see rq what I have then on

They are on strike force

[heavy vigil]

Ok so what happened

A unit got convoy raided in the med

And they moved out

[serene token]

Which path is the best for the two sicilies?

[frank acorn]

Not even a single clue, i turned attention to Germany then looked down to see the Italians landing

Ima play back on my last save

[tiny plank]

40k hoi4 when

[young ocean]

Guys I'm playing as Japan and allied with the British we own most of Africa and are fighting almost all of Europe, with just Spain being a ally there but they aren't doing to great, I'm trying to start a new front but want to know where to start it. It has to be on the European Side of the Mediterranean, I could send a map of it currently too help you decide.

[tiny plank]

Send

[serene token]

I'm listening to the Siege of Vracks rn.

[young ocean]

here it is, I'm going to get the Frech out of Africa first.

Don't ask what happened, I forgot to turn non historical off till it was too late.

[remote quarry]

don't split your fleet

if you combined them it's probably not gonna lose to the italian fleet

[frank acorn]

You are correct 😭

[frank acorn]

Keep pushing though turkey ngl, and open up an Italian theater

[frank acorn]

These borders got me dead

[ruby flame]

at what point do you actually become facist as franco

[sharp sierra]

i wish the ai didnt do this thing where they prioritize defending their little allies

ig it makes sense sometimes but everywhere else is completely undefended

[hoary mortar]

fr

it is annoying

now gn happy september!

[serene token]

Question

Should I go for "Take the Fight to them!" Or "Defensive Stance."

[haughty gulch]

my stability is cooked, i shouldnt have made "The Bloody Professor" my leader

[analog ivy]

first time playing tno am i handling the economy like fine?

[remote quarry]

you need to click the decision to switch

need 60% support

[analog ivy]

nice i went from junk to terrible

yeah TNO sucks they cant even spell business correectly

[heavy vigil]

My main issue with it is that i cannot read a single event

[analog ivy]

Wasn't this one of the achievements that you used to be able to unlock automatically, just disable dlc

Bro idk what any of this means

[brittle oasis]

This feels like when your bro is trying to explain his path of exile build

[heavy vigil]

[real tulip]

Hello!

[proud tapir]

Yes play hoi4

[brittle oasis]

Work is temporary hoi4 is forever

Who needs money and relationships when you have hoi4

[frank briar]

hey guys

so i used to be the greatest hoi2 player of all time

i destroyed even the most autistic of europeans

i've returned and decided to learn hoi4. it seems way gayer and complicated but im in it for the long haul

whats the best inf and armoured div to build as germany

like can u give me any tips as to what upgrades etc are dead weight and what is most important

[brittle oasis]

Apparently slapping on 3 machine guns and 6 extra ammo slots to ur tanks is meta as Germany

[trim pike]

@eternal palm done

And this for tanks

[brittle oasis]

I'm a bit ignorant is that a space marine template?

[trim pike]

No

[eternal palm]

Space marine?

[trim pike]

Space marine is tank with inf

Thats just inf

[eternal palm]

bruh 💀

"it has armor, its a space marine!1!1!"

[trim pike]

[eternal palm]

BOgs mp looking ass

"no our support anti air cant possibly pierce 7 armor"

[trim pike]

LOL

Such an L

[eternal palm]

That is quite literally in their ruleset

[trim pike]

Whats the most ridiculous ruleset uve seen

[eternal palm]

they also ban csc cuz "its an exploit"

bruh

[trim pike]

[eternal palm]

But logi striking is allowed like

[trim pike]

what

[eternal palm]

Makes playing russia impossible

[trim pike]

Logi strike ok but no convert??

[eternal palm]

Yeah......

[trim pike]

Russia is alr hard rn

[eternal palm]

And when u try to argue they ban you for being toxic

[trim pike]

U fall fast

Its just sad

[eternal palm]

uhh btw they buffed mefo so you can do autarky after getting swedish resources

Cuz of course

[trim pike]

[eternal palm]

Yup

[trim pike]

Who

Pdx

Or the mod

[eternal palm]

The mod they use

[trim pike]

Ah

They kinda sound like nazis

Usually those who

Buff ger too much

Are

[eternal palm]

Yea you'd think that but I dont know if they are

They dont seem like it

They just weird asf

[heavy vigil]

Expensive af

[eternal palm]

ok 🤷‍♂️

[proud tapir]

Hoi4 mods be like:

Germany-national spirit that gives 10 gazillion soft attack and 20 gazillion defence

USSR-All of your factories blow up and you start with 0 because

Oh and some stupid army debuff
-10 gazillion attack

[eternal palm]

Play Horstorical

There its the other way around
"what if we buffed sov starting IC by 100% and gave them both sides of their eco tree"

[proud tapir]

I watched bittersteel and some other youtubers play mods and the ussr just

has such stupid debuffs

and half of them make no sense either

[proud tapir]

Btw i saw u talking about stupid mp rules

how do people enjoy that?

how is that fun for anyone

[eternal palm]

Either they are always on the admin team so they're stacked and they dont care for game balance. Or they are too bad or too stupid to understand what good mp rules are

They probably also never played russia against a good germany so they dont see the problem

"just build state aa bro"

"just use armored trains bro"

[proud tapir]

state aa isnt a miracle building
You still need an air force 😭 🙏

I read up on state aa and yes its a nice thing to have sure

but like

it will wont stop cas and the enemy from fully bombing your stuff

[eternal palm]

Its just wasted IC

[proud tapir]

But man do i love forts

[proud tapir]

something about grinding down the enemy with your stupid little bunkers

[eternal palm]

If u do state aa you lack IC, which you already have less of so wasting even more on state aa is worse or you wont have rails and then your supply is gone anyhow

[proud tapir]

its fun

[eternal palm]

useless above lvl2

get 35% defense and be done

anything and everything has fort attack now

[proud tapir]

Bro i remember playing France
I extended the maginot, had pretty high level forts along the entire border from Germany to Italy

30k Frenchmen for around 1.5 million axis soldiers alone

[eternal palm]

Thats probably not due to the forts but oh well

WEll not those above lvl2

35% defense is big though

[proud tapir]

But the issue was

[eternal palm]

so not having lvl2 forts while defending is pretty bad

[proud tapir]

Germany had so many DIVS
Like sooo many

neither they

or me could break trough each others lines

[heavy vigil]

In singleplayer yeah

Ai doesnt really punish forts in vanilla

[proud tapir]

Forts are so funny and they build pretty quick

[real tulip]

Did some funny

[proud tapir]

Btw guys

[real tulip]

?

[proud tapir]

i never understood

what is the avarage civ/mil ratio

[real tulip]

Me neither

[proud tapir]

i never understood when should i focus on one over the other

[real tulip]

I just spam infra, then civ, then work on mils fast

[eternal palm]

Not a relevant number cuz starting counts are always different

basically, if u go to war in 39, build civs until march 37

[proud tapir]

hmm alr

[eternal palm]

if u go to war in 41, you can get away with building civs till december 37

if u go to war before 39, dont bother with civs, build mils day 1

[proud tapir]

ok cool

[eternal palm]

Germany is the exception and does mils day1 because you need early IC

you get civs from france, poland and benelux, make sure to have collabs

[proud tapir]

And because a lot of focuses just give you a bunch of civs already

[analog ivy]

gdp just doubled after taking belgium

[eternal palm]

not really but sure

[proud tapir]

I just hate fighting germany in general because

idk they always seem to have an absurd amount of divs

[eternal palm]

They have less now lol

They used to have way more before the dlc

[proud tapir]

They used to have

more

[eternal palm]

germany especially early on is weak

At least in 39 in comparison to today

though germany is way stronger late game now

borderline unbeatable

if they annex russia

[proud tapir]

Oh yeah i have had that happen once

kinda my fault for calling Russia against Japan

and they got annexed

[eternal palm]

Yea russia is stil weak asf

[proud tapir]

Allies were unable to land in Germany at all

after that

[safe wing]

Happy VJ day

80 years since WWII ended

[vast quiver]

yo chat

[real tulip]

Yes?

[sharp sierra]

started a brazil game on ahistorical

portugal kind of rining the whole save

[eternal palm]

Yea dont go monarchist brazil, it sucks
Commie and fascist brazil are much stronger

[sharp sierra]

i am doing fascist

[eternal palm]

Ohhhhh

[sharp sierra]

its just portugal did a royal wedding

[eternal palm]

omg

[sharp sierra]

-1% stability ticking down every week

basically ill just have to start over

[eternal palm]

Just restart at that point yea

[frank briar]

i dont care about "meta"

i care about what is best and most efficient

[sharp sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/very-happy-gm-gif-27565238

[frank briar]

so all infantry companies

nothing else

[eternal palm]

Ye

arty is useless

[frank briar]

no artillery no other shit

[eternal palm]

Yea

[frank briar]

man this is just like hoi2

hell yeah

vanilla inf and solid panzer divs

[eternal palm]

Thats.... Literally what meta means 💀

[frank briar]

plus so many fighters nerds cant believe it

yeah but meta implies u r listening to what other nerds are saying

[eternal palm]

because thats not necessarily a bad thing? And it doesnt?

[frank briar]

i just find the best shit to build and go for it

create my own meta every game

[eternal palm]

💀

Ok so you dont care whats best, u just do what u like

Thats very different but oh well

[frank briar]

why the halftracks

[eternal palm]

Also u literally asked for help, so u are also listening to other nerds

[eternal palm]

Cuz its better than mot

more hp

[frank briar]

that's different

[eternal palm]

motorised is ass

💀

"nah trust me bro, I'm different"

Kek

[frank briar]

in hoi2 i would consult the paradox forums and read what ppl had discovered

then integrate that into how i played

im not asking ppl for some strat or build

[frank briar]

tell me about motorised

is it not worth building in hoi4?

[eternal palm]

"I'm not asking for help, I'm just taking others advice after I've asked for it"
That aside, the lack of self awareness is crazy but ill leave u to it

[eternal palm]

Not for divisions no

[frank briar]

i am asking for help

[eternal palm]

You still need it for support and supply

[proud tapir]

"German reich invites us to war"

[eternal palm]

So u are listening to other nerds

[frank briar]

im consulting you guys properly, and i cherish your input

[eternal palm]

cuz I'm that nerd

[eternal palm]

lmaooooooo

well appreciate the compliment

[frank briar]

hang on so

an infantry division

it marches on its feet and is slow right

[eternal palm]

Ye

[frank briar]

but can i speed it up with truck attachments?

[eternal palm]

Nope

[frank briar]

that was what we dreamed of in hoi2

ok so how do i make my inf fast

[eternal palm]

Speed isnt averaged, a div moves at the speed of its slowest part

[eternal palm]

Speed is pretty irrelevant since it gets affected by infrastructure, supply and weather it gets nuked by everything so investing into it doesnt make much sense

[frank briar]

speed is always important

[eternal palm]

It really isnt

[proud tapir]

well no, because you still have normal infantry.
Your motorized basicaly have to keep up with regular infantry.

They cant speed past the bulk of the army and go rambo against the enemy lines

[frank briar]

unless they've completely made a different game

[proud tapir]

[eternal palm]

Uh yes, that was kind of the goal

[frank briar]

i dont want my motorised infantry keeping up with regular infantry

[eternal palm]

if u were trying to take ur hoi2 experience into hoi4 I gotta dissapoint you

[frank briar]

i want infantry keeping up with my amour

[eternal palm]

That really does not matter

Tanks arent gonna magically outrun the inf, supply makes sure of that

[frank briar]

how does it not matter to be quick and run rings around the enemy

[eternal palm]

on average everything moves 4 kmh no matter the base speed

[frank briar]

wtf

[eternal palm]

Cuz you dont need higher base speed to do that

supply is the biggest factor

[pearl jackal]

hi chat

[frank briar]

no you have to be lying

[eternal palm]

If ur enemy doesnt have supply, it moves slower than you do

[pearl jackal]

how do i form italian east africa

[frank briar]

or you dont understand the game

[eternal palm]

Hence u can encircle

[frank briar]

this means theres zero point playing hoi4

everything goes 4kmph???

it cant be real

[eternal palm]

on average*

considering every factor, supply, red air, infra, weather etc

[frank briar]

yeah i ignore that

[proud tapir]

Ok so im playing Italy atm

[eternal palm]

LMAOOOOOO

[proud tapir]

In your focus tree

[frank briar]

if i have armour and motorised inf they go quick

thats the whole point of armour and motorised inf

[eternal palm]

The point is stats

not speed

[proud tapir]

You have a focus that allows you to crown a new king over your colonies in east Africa

[pearl jackal]

mhm

[proud tapir]

Just go down your political focus tree

[pearl jackal]

where

[frank briar]

i dont care about stats

[proud tapir]

And you should see it

[pearl jackal]

which focus?

[frank briar]

i care about creating pockets

and destroying the enemy

[proud tapir]

lemme find the exact one hold on im not on my pc atm

[pearl jackal]

k ty

[frank briar]

wait dont tell me you cant create pockets in hoi4 either

[proud tapir]

@pearl jackal

[frank briar]

is this game ww1 simulator

[proud tapir]

you must take the "Ministry of Italian Africa" and "The New Emperor of Ethiopia" focuses from Italy's national focus tree. After completing these, you will be able to take the decision to "Establish the Africa Orientale Italiana"

[pearl jackal]

yeah?

[pearl jackal]

alr thx

[proud tapir]

Thats how u form it

np

[pearl jackal]

i dont have bba btw

[proud tapir]

Neither do I

[eternal palm]

have you even played the game?

[proud tapir]

but a large part of Italy should still be there

[frank briar]

i played it last night for an hour with a friend

[pearl jackal]

alr

[proud tapir]

Bba is for alt history i think

[eternal palm]

woooow

yea go play some more buddy

[proud tapir]

and minors+air design

[frank briar]

we doubled as germany and got to like... april 1937

1936*

[eternal palm]

💀

in an hour?

Bro were u playing on 1 speed

[frank briar]

we sent rommel with 2 panzer divs to spain but then had to quit

so i havent tried the combat yet

[frank briar]

i was learning the ropes

also in hoi2 mp even the slowest speed was too fast for most nerds

[eternal palm]

unc stop comparing it to hoi2

[frank briar]

because there u had to micro every unit

[eternal palm]

its a different game

[frank briar]

and u had 300 of them

yeah well i need to learn it

[eternal palm]

I dont need to hear allat

[eternal palm]

u dont seem worth my time, frankly 💀
go play some more

[frank briar]

im thinking i set my guys up with this battle plan ai nonsense

then micro all of them

and especially micro all my air units

[frank briar]

you have no idea who i am

[proud tapir]

John Paradox himself?

[heavy vigil]

You really dont have to and shouldnt

Only micro offensive units

[frank briar]

SirDavidHasselhoff

the paradox forums used to cringe at the mention of my name. that was 20 years ago tho

[frank briar]

i am purely offensive

[eternal palm]

ja diggah lass ma 💀

[proud tapir]

Mr.Paradox please give me dlc

[frank briar]

everything i do in hoi is offensive

[heavy vigil]

then you battleplan and dont micro :3

[frank briar]

if i have to defend ive lost

[heavy vigil]

Defending battles are fine

[eternal palm]

Sprichst du überhaupt Deutsch?

Ja dachte ich mir kek

[frank briar]

nah im gonna figure out how to make panzer armies in this game and go on mad encirclements

[proud tapir]

Ja Ja, autobahn.

[frank briar]

i just need to know the best makeup for the panzer divs

[proud tapir]

Panzerkampfwagen

[frank briar]

[heavy vigil]

For what purpose, grinding in spain? Fighting actual enemies?

[eternal palm]

Panzerkrampfwagen

[frank briar]

why the halftracks? what does that do?

[proud tapir]

Volkswagen

[eternal palm]

Das Auto.

[heavy vigil]

You should read the modifiers

[proud tapir]

Ja ja

Having wheels on light tanks reduces cost

Which is frankly insane

[proud tapir]

oh that i do have

i have mtg and gotterdammerung

[eternal palm]

it basically means, you always get stuck in belgium due to raiding

[proud tapir]

😭

[eternal palm]

So I dont really blame all the no dlc noobs when they get stuck

they literally have no other choice

[proud tapir]

This is one of the best customization mods i have ever seen

[pearl jackal]

can u core libya as italy? i dont think so right?

[heavy vigil]

No

You have to build up the railway

Which is sad

[proud tapir]

You have a lot of focuses that give you compliance anyways

[trim pike]

Arent u tired

[pearl jackal]

alr

[eternal palm]

Not on historical

[pearl jackal]

alr

im on non-hist

[proud tapir]

But Libya is usualy pacified

[heavy vigil]

Yeah i have to stay up for like 3h+ ideally

So its yk a normal time

[bronze mango]

Communist italy i think can core African territories with a focus

[eternal palm]

Yep, they can core all of africa

[heavy vigil]

Or sleep for 2h exactly

[proud tapir]

oh btw dont make the same mistake i did
You want to do focuses that give power to Benito

But some of them require to have a specific balance of power precentage

When you unlock that trough your political focuses

Click on your nations flag and under your thing where you select focuses you should see the balance of power precentage

click on that and you have decisions to shift the balance in either the councel or Benitos side

[pearl jackal]

fair enough i mussolini is an alright leader i feel like

[trim pike]

No german because we dont know german

So we cant moderate it

No non English basically

[proud tapir]

i didnt realize at first that you can click on it and have decisions that shift power to unlock further focuses

So keep that in mind

[trim pike]

Its so obvious lol

i got bored so i merged them into one mega fleet

[lone sail]

is that a good idea?

[sharp sierra]

yis

[primal timber]

i sunk the royal navy doing that as france last time with my 105 destroyers

[sharp sierra]

its what you do

[lone sail]

so were not supposed to have multiple task forces?

[sharp sierra]

if you want to win a naval battle stack the best surface ships you have into one fleet

[primal timber]

i only needed superiority over the channel

the US needs like multiple task forces for escorting convoys

[sharp sierra]

most of the time thats all of which you possess

[primal timber]

because theres 6 seas between new york and liverpool

[sharp sierra]

u can have little asw fleets if you want to be cute

and if you have the industry ig

[primal timber]

me?

[sharp sierra]

i never do that though

[primal timber]

i only need to hold the sea and coast of japan

also i can't help but notice

the quite

extensive route

for my chromium from turkey

[eternal palm]

omg why is it a land route

this mod sucks bruh

[primal timber]

actually i think that's just an

i am importing

barbarossa

not looking too great

that's probably where all the soviets are

busy trying to blow up germany

im gonna take advantage of this

and steal the far east from them

the allies are invading from spain in the west

germany's in a bad spot

but the soviets have collectively turned their brains off and decided to not garrison our border

All you have to do is to hold out, and to ensure no naval invasion manages to land

Also hi flowi

build a bunch of mills or something in thier territory

Where is the oster conspiracy?

czechia refused

lithuania too

[burnt vine]

Why does Romania has Slovak territory?

[bronze mango]

i think you need to start capitulating to the czechs, not kill them off

[terse ether]

12, 14, 16w

18w isnt optimal but also works

this is if you dont do mass mob

[terse ether]

you need to be losing to the czechs

[neat kayak]

i was

i lost vienna

and munich

[burnt vine]

If u have less divs with more w

?

[terse ether]

so only the south?

[neat kayak]

ye

[terse ether]

pretty sure you need a bit more

but dont quote me on that

i never played the "path"

[neat kayak]

i will invade britain first so that i avoid the US entering later

and i will do the blunders later

[terse ether]

its a bunch of math

i dont have an excel sheet for it

[burnt vine]

Ok I will look it online

[terse ether]

its better to have 5 16ws in battle than 4 18ws (example)

so more width for less divs doesnt always work in your favor

[green moss]

is this tuff

[terse ether]

the first scenario would have 80w worth of battalions

while the second would 72

[burnt vine]

Is this cuz of org

?

Like more divs mean more org?

[fallen vigil]

guys how do i get trotsky to take contorl of mexico??

[terse ether]

and the cherry on top is combat efficiency isnt that different between a 16 and a 18w

[terse ether]

somewhat

[icy crescent]

It takes 150 days for the event to fire.
Did you take Austria by force?

[neat kayak]

Does it matter that i did this?

and after i will try to do the conspiracy

[devout trench]

Did you skip Eastern Europe or something

[analog ivy]

just wasted 3 hours playing the soviet union just to forget that finland exists and get fully capped by them cause i didnt put my troops there while i was micro managing on the frontline with germany

[terse ether]

how does that happen

theyd need to walk through the urals to cap you

taking all the european part

thats serious skill issue gng

were you tunnel visionned on vladivostok or something

[icy crescent]

You zoomed too much into the frontline it seems.

[neat kayak]

God lithuania is so stupid

just refuse for f sake

[icy crescent]

^ Did you delete your army?

[neat kayak]

yes

czechia said no

i declared war

had an army to not cap

lithuania said no

[icy crescent]

Nvm, you need 9% surrender progress.
Then they would refuse.

Eh. Tricky.

[analog ivy]

yes

the war in china was really interesting

[eternal palm]

Oh you actually wanna 1v1? aight sure bud

[umbral agate]

how do i get this

[eternal palm]

Lendlease your puppet

[eternal palm]

Why didnt u kill finland

[icy crescent]

Wanted to stay a little too historical.

[icy crescent]

Lend lease large amounts of stuff.
Convoys work well.
Otherwise build stuff in there.

[atomic grove]

build anything in their territory + lend lease a lot of convoys to them (u will get them back after annexing them) + u need 300 pp to annex them

[umbral agate]

k

[neat kayak]

WHY DOES IT ALWAYS COME TO THIS F NATION?

[serene token]

Best buildings is factories, and lend lease must be stuff you produce.

[atomic grove]

why tf r u at war with czechoslovakia as germany

u should not be at war with them

[neat kayak]

oster conspiracy

[umbral agate]

im doing the thign where i make puppets then annex them to get factories

[atomic grove]

damn

[atomic grove]

ive never gotten it to happen

[serene token]

You'll still have to deal with revolts and compliance though, which will limit the amount of factories you can use, I think.

[umbral agate]

its way less though

i think

[atomic grove]

just let them do their industrial focuses

[umbral agate]

ik

[atomic grove]

u get 75% of all their mils and 50% of all their civs

also

[green moss]

Let's say that one factory contributes one billion dollars to the GDP. How much GDP does your country currently have?

[atomic grove]

im pretty sure u should've just let croatia exist as reichskomissariat

[umbral agate]

if they lend lease me wil it decrease autonomy

[trim pike]

Yes

[umbral agate]

alr

[trim pike]

Actly

[neat kayak]

and no conspiracy

6 months passed

[trim pike]

Increase

[atomic grove]

if they lend lease to u it will increase their autonomy

[neat kayak]

please tell this is not rng

[trim pike]

But ai doesn’t lend lease enough to increase

[atomic grove]

oster conspirancy is rng

its very rare

[eternal palm]

Trade is more impactful
