hoi4-general

[gleaming acorn]

having fun

and i decided to see if i could play as france and beat the whole world with the best tech and best army

[worn coral]

time for the global defense council

[gleaming acorn]

and everything at my disposal

[worn coral]

hopefully this time the allies wont be allies

[gleaming acorn]

fr

[dusky burrow]

Honestly it probably is

[south crow]

Good template or nah?

[brittle cypress]

No bad double engine is awful

Swap to single engine and add an extra fuel tank and you’re good imo

Actually you may need to swap an armor plate to self sealing fuel if you do that

I don’t think you have enough thrust otherwise

[south crow]

alr thanks

[vague comet]

Any ideas how to stop making my Ironman run less laggy? Lower the video settings?

I have a GTX4070

[brittle cypress]

As far as I know gpu isn’t really relevant to this games performance, it’s more cpu based

Anyways if you’re running at 5 speed it’s basically impossible to get fps I think

Because the game will always run as fast as it can at that speed

Try playing at 4 speed I guess

[worn coral]

uh

guys

how do i win the spanish civil war as the regional defense council of aragón

[tired crypt]

uhhh

split half your troops on to nationalist and hold

rest towards taking the republicans

[languid patrol]

things may look good

buy they are not

[sudden grotto]

What da india doin

[opaque robin]

yo can someone gift me the ussr dlc?

[gleaming fern]

Guys how do I even make marines as commie china

[slender kernel]

i just noticed it, wasnt this like rare?

[slender kernel]

what happened to germany

[serene token]

Got Balkanized.

[slender kernel]

damn

[serene token]

Italy's color on that image is a war crime.

[uncut pollen]

damn😭

[iron cobalt]

88 factories in 1940 ?

[uncut pollen]

yeah

[ivory hull]

not any kind of expansion and 50 divs on rommel...

[iron cobalt]

Maybe because I play with the dlc but is german empire that bad without it ?

[iron cobalt]

Wilhelm didn't die for this

[iron cobalt]

The second

[uncut pollen]

i have götterdämmerung

[uncut pollen]

im just training them to level 3

[ivory hull]

you dont plan to expand to like 1941?

also

early mob?

in 1940?

[uncut pollen]

i dont want to go in war

[ivory hull]

yo bro

ive got news for you

thats the point of the game

[uncut pollen]

i know

[ivory hull]

you wanna expand early so you scale

[uncut pollen]

but with who i cant beat the allies

[ivory hull]

alone?

[uncut pollen]

yeah

[ivory hull]

as germany you can easily kill every major

[sudden thistle]

Get more factories and it will be easier😭

[uncut pollen]

but i cant

[uncut pollen]

what am i gonna do with 100k weapons trow them at the heads of the enemys?

[ivory hull]

use those weapons to hold and then use tanks

[uncut pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/ball-headshot-kid-gif-11569060095852748491

[ivory hull]

always the same thing

[uncut pollen]

anyways im gonna go

[worn coral]

guys

why does it say no units assigned to this order when i assign a naval invasion order

[warped flint]

Do you have the naval invasion tech researched

[worn coral]

yes

and the other order for the other commander is working as normal

[warped flint]

How many units are you trying to assign

[worn coral]

24

same as the other commander

[warped flint]

What naval invasion tech have you researched?

[kind vale]

Nuclear energy is safe, cheap, efficient, and amazing

[worn coral]

how do i see that

[warped flint]

Go to your naval research tab

[worn coral]

naval or naval support?

[warped flint]

Ima load up hoi4 so i can desribve it better

[warped flint]

I believe its in naval support

[kind vale]

Both

Nvm

Support

[worn coral]

the problem is

one commander can do it

[kind vale]

Naval invasion is in the support tab

[worn coral]

the other cant

[kind vale]

Send a ss of your screen and the naval invasions

[kind vale]

When you have 2 naval invasion commands from 2 different commanders only one of them will do it till the first executes the naval invasion then the other will start to prepare

[kind vale]

The second one is preparing the naval invasion so when your at war they should just execute the plan

[simple plank]

anarchist spain???

world defence counsil????

[worn coral]

yeah

this is only time i managed to pull it off

and unfortunately the allies still formed on random mode

[simple plank]

+rep

[simple plank]

oh poor u

[dusky burrow]

No they prepare at the same time, if you exceeded cap it wouldn't even allow you to assign units to the order

[agile trellis]

Is cadet edition normal game?

[storm forge]

I have 800 hours on hoi4 and still dont know navy at all

[simple plank]

navy is easy

[zinc light]

Bigger number wins

[flat barn]

hi

[simple plank]

hi

[flat barn]

isnt this just a copy of finlands winter soldiers

[sudden grotto]

Big guns = big dmg
Big guns = needs protection
Destroyers and light cruiser a = protection from mean bullies
Protection = big guns kill Lil guns
Big guns killed all Lil guns = Capital ships are done

[languid patrol]

ameirca?

[ripe slate]

same icon but that doesnt mean much

[dusky burrow]

Makes sense as Azerbaijan

Iran must go

Armenia is fake

[flat barn]

Hi..

[dusky burrow]

Hello

[unkempt void]

could someone tell me what iss the difference between cadet edition and stanndard editoinn?

[flat barn]

idk

[sudden thistle]

What comes with each

[unkempt void]

no idea

[neat kayak]

time to try the new italy

on GWR

and i still didn't get a hour of sleep

[sullen tapir]

hey i need help

so how do i switch countries fast

[sudden thistle]

Console

[sullen tapir]

like if i was playing as germany how do i go to poland

[sudden thistle]

TAG POL

[sullen tapir]

isn't there another way to do it

saw a vid and he was just clicking or something to switch

[sudden thistle]

Spectator mode?

[worn coral]

no way

[sudden thistle]

There is only 3 ways that I know of

[kind vale]

So basically 10ac and 250lc beat navy

[worn coral]

borderlands 4 is real

[sullen tapir]

can i send u a link in private and u tell me

[sudden thistle]

Ok

@marsh trench why

[marsh trench]

my motha ate fries

[sudden grotto]

Basically...Bismarck by sabaton start

[analog ivy]

bro novum vexillum is like the best modern day mod its not overcomplicated and it feels like vanilla without literally changing the game so much that it doesnt even feel like hoi4

[tame copper]

Should I make my own HOI4 mod

With a new country

Or a couple

And some really insane stuff

Ultrahypersocialism

Anarcho-totalitarianism

Gamerism

Those are just ideologies byw

[analog ivy]

esoteric nazism like in tno?

[tame copper]

Gamerism

[analog ivy]

oh im dumb

i forgot about that

[tame copper]

Goddamn everything all at once

[analog ivy]

that would be fun

[tame copper]

Ultrahypersocialism is just

Communism

But like

[analog ivy]

you should make a mod that adds new focus paths for extreme ideology's and stuff for existing countries

[tame copper]

Ultra authoritarian

Robot

Space

[analog ivy]

like you could make an ultrahypersocialism germany

i'd play that mod lol

[tame copper]

Scientocracy

Robots

I should add GMRESS infantry lmao

Genetically modified robotically enhanced socialist supersoldiers

[tame copper]

Yeah actually

Most content would be for like my country

[analog ivy]

OHH THAT WOULD BE FUN

[tame copper]

Called the Ultrahypersocialist People's state of Nerduzzia (yes this is serious(

[analog ivy]

you should make like a total overhaul alt hist mod set like 100 years in the future or something

that would be REALLY hard but someone should do it lol

[analog ivy]

(something other then fallout)

[tame copper]

I tried doing a mod once

That's where my profile pic is from

I think i still have it somewhere on my computer

To be used for the mod

[tame copper]

My idea was it to start in 1936 like base game

But like

Everything is gonna go insane

Original iteration of nerduzzia

Ok bye

I'm gonna actually think about making it

[dusky burrow]

literally just greater finland lmao

[tame copper]

Idk man

There's supposed to be some lore of like nerduzzia separating from the Russian empire

And stuff

That's not been worked on

I have not made up any viable stuff

The Bolsheviks were too little communist for the UltraHyperSocs

[analog ivy]

murmansk not being part of nerduzzia is actually annoying me lol

[tame copper]

There's something to it

Idk

War

I should really refine it

[magic pine]

BELISARIUS

[tame copper]

Like that it's it's own state

Or something

The birthplace of anarcho-totalitarianism

[analog ivy]

also if its actually hyperultrasocialism then you have to actually mod in the ideology instead of making it fascist (which is THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM)

[tame copper]

Yeah that's old mod

It had weird shit

[analog ivy]

ohh ok

[tame copper]

Like that

Nerduzzia used to be Gamerist

And fash is closest to Gamerism basically

[paper echo]

petition for paradox to put the tag "submod" on the workshop cuz if tired of seeing the fire rises and kaiserredux submods

[tame copper]

Wait

You have any idea if tfr works on Linux if I use prton

[paper echo]

i dont know anything about linux

but if hoi4 works then why shouldnt tfr also work

[tame copper]

Tfr specifically says that it doesn't work on Linux or mac

I blame lazy devs

[paper echo]

damn

currently you dont really miss much cuz only a few countries have content

[tame copper]

BUT I WANT ZE NEW WORLD ORDER

[paper echo]

play tno lol

or twr

[tame copper]

You don't get it?

[dusky burrow]

🫡

[tame copper]

Klaus schwab

[paper echo]

oh yeah i get it now

[tame copper]

Also AWD seems cool

(this doesn't reflect my real beliefs)

I remember my like month long red flood phase

[analog ivy]

prob because they cant be bothered trying to figure out how to make it work on linux and mac when they specifically built the mod on windows and most likely dont have a mac or just dont know how to use linux

and even then most people use windows sadly so they dont bother with the other operating systems so they can focus on actually adding stuff

[tame copper]

French gay intercourse cult still seems interesting

[analog ivy]

because if linux and mac had to be supported it would take significantly longer for updates to come out because they have to make sure that each update doesnt break on each operating system

and the developers would have to switch between operating systems to test the mod very often and its just a headache

[fair horizon]

paradox pls give australia tree a touchup in the new dlc :)

[tame copper]

Yk they won't

[analog ivy]

yeah definitely not

its asia dlc not australia dlc lol

[tame copper]

What will be dlc after next dlc

[analog ivy]

australia has already had their dlc

[tame copper]

I would like like a redo of the old ones

[fair horizon]

i asked for a void dwellers rework for like 5 years and it finally happened

paradox will fall to my peer pressure again

[tame copper]

Like new stuff for Czechoslovakia Hungary Romania yugoslavia

I want yugo partisans goddamnit

[tame copper]

No not hungary

That's been done

New British rework?

It feels shit running out of political focuses in 1943

[fair horizon]

they did a british rework?

[tame copper]

Mtg

Man the guns

[fair horizon]

oh so nothing recent then

[tame copper]

It gives alt history paths to the brits

[fair horizon]

british tree still sucks then

[tame copper]

Game is still so laggy at that point that usually stop playing before that

Except my most recent game

[fair horizon]

purge faster

[tame copper]

I'm still doing it

[tame copper]

Huh

[fair horizon]

you purge the other empires to stop late game lag

[tame copper]

If I'm axis britain

[fair horizon]

they cant cause lag if they dont exist 🧠

[tame copper]

Maybe not

But like

Should I unpotato my pc

Upgrade CPU maybe

[paper echo]

a dlc which adds 2 new states and changes 2 portraits and it will cost 50 euros

[fair horizon]

also adds something completely game changing which you actually buy the dlc for

[paper echo]

oh yeah

us content

[analog ivy]

uh oh

nazi germany is back

and its himmlers daughter

[paper echo]

what mod is this?

the more vanilla based md mod?

[analog ivy]

novum vexillum its basically classic MD

but better

[paper echo]

yeah

[analog ivy]

and simpler economy

[paper echo]

i heard of that one mod before

[analog ivy]

and more vanilla like

its VERY fun

[paper echo]

how is the speed

does it run the same as md

[analog ivy]

very smooth

im on 5 speed

on MD i cant go past 4 speed

[paper echo]

good

[analog ivy]

even on 4 speed it lags on md

[paper echo]

my md runs okish

[analog ivy]

honestly i like novum vexillum mainly because its more vanilla based and i can actually go to wars and stuff without being bored waiting 10 years to do something

its basically what millenium dawn was meant to be

not an economy sim

[river elbow]

‎

sorry gang

misinput

[runic spoke]

secret china meta: tank china

awful division template

[fair horizon]

wym

[runic spoke]

its not awful its just disgusting to me

[fair horizon]

its 1938 bud

[runic spoke]

too much cav

[fair horizon]

you dont like horses?

[runic spoke]

no i DO

just not like

[fair horizon]

someone golshi this dude

[runic spoke]

14/4

[icy crescent]

The division gets pierced by support anti-air.
Therefore not a good tank division.

[fair horizon]

then make the tanks cheap

[runic spoke]

tanks are doodoo with 0 armor

i just have them for soft attack and so i could just grind panzer leader tbh

couldnt afford research for engine and armor upgrades

[sudden grotto]

lovely

[cloud perch]

when hungary (or any other nation) goes into a civil war when you do austrian decisions, it can literally block doing it ever again for the rest of the game

meaning you can't annex or even get a wargoal on hungary, chechs and so on

[silk fern]

i always put hungary, Czechia, and the rest of them on historical because of this

[hushed lodge]

can paradox ban the mp hacker hiding lobbies?

[sudden grotto]

persia rules 🙏

[dusky burrow]

Your support companies are off, other than that it isn't bad

[dusky burrow]

What's happening in Italy

[sudden grotto]

Regno del sud rebelled aka my puppet

[dusky burrow]

Oh

[sudden grotto]

Funny how germany has 58-74 divs in 1946...

0% stab, mackensen still in charge lol

GG for the german broskies 🙏

23 light cruiser in One Battle 🔥

And the germans realised that tò win the war in their core terriotry its best to full Attack on the french front...200 iq move

beatiful

[dusky burrow]

Yep

[wraith mauve]

Why u should play fire rises https://youtu.be/3A2ZwzP9Yw4?si=d79Wp2yRGk5t3mfL

[silk fern]

not sure how that adds up to 85%

[ripe slate]

Theyres other already-met requirements that arent showing

But ngl it is stupid that it shows in such situations

[glad cairn]

Hi again

[silk fern]

1939 and winston is doing this nonsense

[glad cairn]

Has anyone played India with road to 56, going facists. Getting agrarian society and famine, then switch to the new government with fascism only to not be able to remove famine giving crazy debuffs?

[gloomy charm]

Playing as ottomans and landed in Britain and couldn't get further than this before they started stacking up, now I just keep moving around my soldiers and are bleeding manpower but uk got less manpower than me and are loosing more, should I keep going or is there a way to push further in? Can't do planes since my industry's shit

[sudden grotto]

first time i see resistance actualyl rebelling lol

huh

[sudden grotto]

they finally reached 13M with this

[grizzled zenith]

Was Luxembourg always able to form the Lowlands?

[jolly kettle]

I ain't never seen Japan fighting in Europe, crazy

[grizzled zenith]

That's actually not so bad as you get to reset the resistance after you cap them lol(and compliance is sad but if you had such resistance it's safe to assume it wasn't very high before the rebellion either)

[silk fern]

worst spanish civil war oat

[grizzled zenith]

I assume Nationalists are in the East Asian Co-Prospherity Sphere, Carlists are in the Allies and the Republicans are in the Comintern?

[sudden grotto]

Thry Lost like, 3M to mr

[sudden grotto]

They aint my enemy so i wont care much about It lol

[grizzled zenith]

Oh

I thought it was yours

[sudden grotto]

If you look under Russia Is my ally ( puppet )

[grizzled zenith]

Are you neutral?

[sudden grotto]

Non-aligned

[grizzled zenith]

Yeah

[grizzled zenith]

Also are you Iran?

[sudden grotto]

Persia

[grizzled zenith]

Ok

[sudden grotto]

They added von mackensen pfp to wt

Dayum

[jolly kettle]

lol why do so many of your generals look the same, is this just a thing with Turkey/Ottos?

[sudden grotto]

Generic

[plucky girder]

guys

[jolly kettle]

ahhhhh okay

[plucky girder]

does anyone have the image with the next dev corners release dates?

[dusky burrow]

Classic example of convoy raiding

Make sure you have actual supply in the UK

And also aerial supremacy

[grizzled zenith]

What you can do is invade Scotland where there is this narrow space between 2 ports on 2 sides, take them and connect them and create a new frontline there, the UK has way tougher time dealing with 2 frontlines and in case anything goes wrong defending in the Scottish mountains shouldn't be that hard either. Or you can just bleed their manpower but it will take a long time

[gloomy charm]

The british absolutely anhiliated my navy the second they notices I had superiority💀💀 I just saw how it suddenly popped up hella naval battles with skulls

[grizzled zenith]

Damn

That's why you don't put your navy out more than for 1 second of naval superiority

Now all you can do is bleed out their manpower and go through the South England

[gloomy charm]

Yess

[silk fern]

1941 austria if they locked in

[obsidian token]

so czechoslovakia didnt accept fedralisation dose that mean im done for

[worn coral]

why is your screen so small

[woven dragon]

HOW DID YOU DO THAT MAN!! I AM IN THE OPPOSITE POSITION OF YOU THE SOVIET ARE KICKING MY ASS BECAUSE I HAVE TO KILL THE GERMANS IN ITALIANS!!! So please sir share your secrets on how you did it

(I am not shouting at you I am just mad at myself)

[silk fern]

just steal all your puppets divisions, i killed russia with 17k austrian casualties and a million poles, hungarians, and yugoslavians. if you are playing fascist austria and not habsburg it might be more dificult

[dusky burrow]

Brusilov Offensive avenged

[dusky burrow]

"everyone else does infantry so south africa austria can spec into tanks"

[rain quail]

@silk walrus can we do something about the guy that just griefed a game that we were 2 hours into

[worn coral]

guys

how do i get command power

[rain quail]

from just playing

[woven dragon]

I was doing Habsburg, Regular and Ironman

[fair horizon]

they really aint trying then are they?

[fair horizon]

poland ❤️

[dusky burrow]

You get a steady amount of command power per day, but you can get more by increasing war support

And also quick improvisation

[grizzled fiber]

i just lost to poland and france as germany

[sudden thistle]

@modest jolt when evolve smp

[serene token]

Y'all got any good armor division templates?

[faint yew]

Whenever we get enough people

[vernal moon]

Don't have them yet.

Okay, thank you.

[misty fossil]

real

[warped flint]

This was quite fun

Except the like 10 naval invasions

in under 1 year

Communists vs fascists

Wait no

THE POLISH GREAT TRIAL?

[tardy compass]

US and UK focus trees being left to rot while everyone else got or is getting updates 😭

[ancient marsh]

thing is those are good trees even if barebones by standards now

[tardy compass]

the UK MAYBEEEE but the US barely even has alt hist and their historical doesnt have that much content

[ancient marsh]

i imagined that this dlc we're getting was going to be for usa AND japan but doesnt seem like it at this point

[tardy compass]

yeah china needed it but still

US focus tree is buns

[ancient marsh]

an america-centric dlc will not be good however

because its just going to be rehashed usa, canada, and mexico

[clear dagger]

counter dday

[ancient marsh]

not really much room for anyone else except cuba or others getting uruguay size trees

[clear dagger]

there are 16 tanks in this holy

[tardy compass]

throw in tanna tuva for fun

[ancient marsh]

either way usa and uk trees are functional and id say good

[tardy compass]

but either way canada was a consistent participant in the war and the US was the industrial and economic powerhouse of the allies

[serene token]

How?

[ancient marsh]

all of japan's tree is finished by 1941/1942 and the historical political branch has like

maybe 12 focuses?

[tardy compass]

lol yeah japan rly needed a rework

[heavy vigil]

More work

[ancient marsh]

and they have pretty much 0 flavor

[tardy compass]

honestly they shoulda just thrown in the philipinnes in an america DLC

to help justify

[ancient marsh]

idk its too early to judge the scale of the dlc yet

[ancient marsh]

because they want to revisit china heavily

[ancient marsh]

equally plausible that they lean more in on south east asia or just announce america and lump asean into the next expansion pack to me

[tardy compass]

if an america-centric dlc was truly an issue they could just do the anglosphere in general

all of them could use a rework

[ancient marsh]

all we know at the moment is japan, prc, roc, and philippines

[tardy compass]

3 minors 2 majors

[warped flint]

I love stealing land

[serene token]

Oof

[ancient marsh]

paradox hasnt done expansions with more than 1 major as the focus though

[tardy compass]

the warlords are definitely getting SOMETHING

[serene token]

I used to be a moderator for some games.

[ancient marsh]

too early to say if theyll break tradition

[tardy compass]

china + japan though

[ancient marsh]

they are getting minor touch ups but nothing actually new

[heavy vigil]

Its voluntary idm lol

[ancient marsh]

like little addendums to them universally afaik

[serene token]

Lol

[ancient marsh]

china isnt a major in the

[warped flint]

This is a obvious lie

[ancient marsh]

context of how hoi4 plays

[warped flint]

its slave labour

trust me

it is

[ancient marsh]

and im reallyyy concerned with how they can mitigate power creep on china

especially in any war against japan

[serene token]

You're a slave to the system, you're a slave to the system, you're a slave to the system.

[ancient marsh]

it should be way harder than ethiopia if you don't go united front but you should be able to get universal faction spirits with united front imo

[tardy compass]

my 3000000000 man army armed with muskets in 1940 in question

[ancient marsh]

soft caps on industry will definitely limit production scale

and i believe this was probably a decision made partially cause it's the east asia dlc

no more 500 division armies

[tardy compass]

i just want an america update before they start chucking unimportant countries dlcs

cause after this dlc its 100% gonna be the most outdated major

i also feel like US states need reworked because i genuinely run out of room because of the US industrial capability

[ancient marsh]

they probably wont even separate new england in whatever patch comes with them

they wouldnt split the rhineland

[tardy compass]

theyd be small states but they'd still have more people than states like nevada and wyoming

[cerulean orchid]

suprisingly didnt take that long

[tardy compass]

like i understand chucking RI in with CT for example

[cerulean anvil]

is this a good late game division if i didnt invest in tanks at all (canada)

[dusky burrow]

Honestly just mechanize a handful of whole divisions if you're so inclined, instead of having motorized artillery in an infantry template

Motorizing one battalion, whether artillery or infantry, adds 5 breakthrough to your division (and yeah if you're doing this better motorize infantry first)

[cerulean anvil]

wait do i mechanize if i can or are there benifits to motorizing

[jagged fjord]

Fascist Scatman??

[dusky burrow]

Also what's your artillery research looking like

It isn't too late to make tanks

[dusky burrow]

Yeah you can, mech costs 3.76 * 40 vs 2.37 * 35 so it isn't that much more expensive

Do eventually convert them to tank divisions later on

[dusky burrow]

And the AA tree?

[cerulean anvil]

up to 1941

its mid 1944 rn

[dusky burrow]

Because that's the main thing with tank techs, it's mostly artillery techs

You could use interwar tanks to the end of the game if you were so inclined, of course you will get pierced to no end though

Walking pace, but serviceable (ignore that previous comment, two man turret is worth it and you do armor clicks, also you can do heavy cannon 3)

Also fairly capable (you can replace with howitzer if you want)

[heavy vigil]

iw heavies suck

just get basic

never use them

[bronze plinth]

where can i write a suggestion to the hoi4 devs?

[hoary mortar]

maybe forums

idk

[dusky burrow]

Also true

Except when you catch yourself having to make a heavy tank production line but for some reason don't have basic heavies for 150 or so days

Which is a failure in planning

[vast quiver]

yo

just started a new world as hungary

[hoary mortar]

nice

Now gn fella shave a good weekend

[vernal moon]

Peter griffin for Japan!

[frank briar]

hey guys

[wary sparrow]

ah yes, we conquered the known world just to give my leaders wife 40000 titles

[drifting grove]

of course the new hoi4 leaks are just as disapointing as they all have been recently

compare WTT and MTG to more recent updates, WWT and MTG had a major GLOBAL mechanic added/majorly reworked, along with 2 major countries, they can barely manage one major, and the new naval systems looks ass

its sad and pathetic that "make carriers do theire job more then half the time" is a new mechanic, and even more pathetic that this is cheered on, and not seen as a "finally" thing

[frank briar]

still waiting on someone to give me the most efficient ftr grouping

[jagged fjord]

Man why didn't I use CAS before- it makes invading 10x easier bruh-

[silk fern]

zero reason for the mormons to have this big of a focus tree

[rough pond]

what mod?

[dusky burrow]

Maybe the person who made the focus tree had a much better idea of what they wanted to do with Utah than other places?

It happens

[silk fern]

somehow my experiment making a superweapon out of microwaves failed

[crude dragon]

i hope hoi4 dlc discounts arrive soon

coz i want arms against tyranny and gotterdamerung next

[candid forge]

ah

[clear dagger]

things are looking bleak here

ive killed like 20k allied tanks yet they still keep on coming

ww2 truly was won by american steel, british intelligence and russian blood

[candid forge]

what's thsi KD ratio 🙏

better ai ahh

[clear dagger]

how did germany screw up so bad so quick

https://tenor.com/view/and-now-the-end-is-near-the-end-is-in-sight-drawing-closer-the-ending-is-near-here-comes-the-end-gif-17182292

[crude dragon]

are you a major

[clear dagger]

yeah im luxembourg/benelux

sheeps mod has anime lore accurate allies

[warped flint]

I just got a mod for super events

and i almost got a heart attack by 1

like seriously

it was so peacefull, quiet

Then i hear people screaming and loud music

[crude dragon]

is it uraaa

[warped flint]

Nah

it was for the japanese-chinese war

[sharp laurel]

im a beginner what should I do during war?

[warped flint]

Encircle the enemy divisons

[sharp laurel]

i mean the basic controls like how to attack or retreat etc..

[warped flint]

Oh

Then just right click tiles

[sharp laurel]

of what?

[crude dragon]

win

just kidding

form your infantry divisions as frontliners that will prevent breakthroughs

and armored and motorized units as the one who will do offensives

[sharp laurel]

so if i right click on enemy units my army will attack them right?

[warped flint]

Yep

Also, if you have 1 divison attack one

you can click a division which also borders that tile

and hold ctrl and support attack

[clear dagger]

wtf

[warped flint]

which means after the battle is over

[clear dagger]

this is just one tile

[warped flint]

that unit will stay on that tile

[sharp laurel]

ok how screwed am i

[clear dagger]

theres like 7 tanks per tile

[warped flint]

Very

[clear dagger]

how the hell did the soviets go from literally 7 tanks to like 200

[dusky burrow]

woah that's a lot of vehicles

761 vehicles per division

[clear dagger]

my only chance is to cut off their flank which they left completely exposed

[dusky burrow]

If they're counting mech/motorized that makes sense, but if it is just mediums then eh..

[clear dagger]

bruh hungary is sitting on his fat ass

get up you lazy piece of shit

[warped flint]

Thick ahh hungary

[proud tapir]

Army group center/10

[vague comet]

Anyone got template for modern tanks and fighters?

[clear dagger]

hard to fight off 26.6 million troops

screw this im falling back to fortress luxembourg

[opal citrus]

2nd time playing hoi4

i have played for a grand total of 3 hours and somehow collapsed france before ww2 even startetd

[dusky burrow]

non-historical?

[urban ivy]

yea

u never declare war on spain

this early

ur stability is way too low

if it goes below 25% u get a timed decision. if u dont get it higher, then u will have a civil war where "vichy france" territories and nord pas de calais rise up as communists against you

[drifting kiln]

abismal mate

dont even try playing france at first play something in south america or like portugal

[dusky burrow]

Portugal is pretty good, Chile isn't

Because if you're Chile you have to manage conquering powers much stronger than you

[pearl flume]

That one run when I play as the Soviets 💀

[clear dagger]

why did japan leave the other warlord states

[pearl flume]

Japan just declared war on them

[fallen vigil]

how do i stop this its genuinely impossible to prevent

[mellow arrow]

What is the best two countries/paths to play sort-of-coop multiplayer as?
As in, two countries that naturally ally in certain paths and have near-0 conflicting claims [can be alt history or DLC paths]

[heavy vigil]

Wdym

Low risk is what you want

[fallen vigil]

i literally cant stop it no matter what

idk how

i do the decisions

yet it eventually goes to imminent in 1938

[heavy vigil]

Just have to keep expanding your army

[fallen vigil]

mmm okay

[heavy vigil]

Instead of decisions

Just look at the german requirements

If they cant meet them youre good

[rough pond]

join a faction

they can't anschluss you if you join a faction

[clear dagger]

join the breakfast club

[vital quest]

@heavy vigil mod

[heavy vigil]

Hi tac hru

[rough pond]

not true, the requirements keep dropping as time passes, eventually no matter what you do besides joining a faction, germany can do anschluss

expanding army only stalls

[heavy vigil]

No it caps out

At like a few times your army

Like 10x or something

[rough pond]

I remember having like 60 divisions as greater austria and germany was still able to do anschluss at like late 1938

[vital quest]

Ur divs have max strenght?

Maybe thats why

[exotic coral]

Historical germany and italy, soviets and prc, Poland and Hungary, Siam and Japan, ottomans and kaiser

[fallen vigil]

how tf do i end this war

[marsh ravine]

By capitulating Switzerland?

[fallen vigil]

god i hate people like you i was clearly implying of how to defeat them

thanks mr obvious

[marsh ravine]

Make good divs, probably mountaineers and just push

[heavy vigil]

Go above

[marsh ravine]

Through bottom tile first

[marsh ravine]

Is that less penalty

Than bottom tile

[heavy vigil]

Despite the fact switzerland has only aluminium

Their ai does not make an air force

Which is an uh interesting decision

[marsh ravine]

Oh air

[heavy vigil]

Either paradrop or CAD

CAS*

Or both

All their buffs are for on core ground combat

So youd like to avoid this as much as possible

[mild roost]

when will the new dlc be released?

[heavy vigil]

Probably like december? Idk

[slim nexus]

join the allies, worked for me

[mild roost]

👍

[cedar lance]

as the ESTONIAN drive for WAR accelerates

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[violet raptor]

If I want to learn the game which nations should I play first?

I have that South America mod that redid all South American countries.

[misty fossil]

console commands

[stoic mortar]

Play Hungary maybe

[slim nexus]

is there any tournaments happening right now?

[fallen vigil]

tbh operation barb should give germany 75% attack and defense bonuses

it would be more realistic

[slim nexus]

any multiplayer games happening?

should i play as sweden or germany historical or smth else?

[proud tapir]

Romania is a fun one

Go watch a guide on Romania

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

[slim nexus]

maybe germany

[crystal marsh]

Q4 2025

[steep tapir]

why is the only good path from the belgain focus tree is the facist

and the dutch focus tree sucks

[crystal marsh]

Just a heads up, its impossible to prevent anschluss, you can only delay it

What I do is I hold and wait for ww2 to start

[cedar lance]

wassup yalls

[crystal marsh]

If my lines start crumbling I retreat to the alps

Thats like only 3-4 tiles to defend

[crystal marsh]

And once that happens I start small pushes

That is assuming you play historical

If you go habsburg and already have all of central europe under your thumb then go ahead and push the moment the war starts

It will start later anyways, given how you’ll have a larger army

[steep tapir]

Hoi5 wil prob come late 2030s

Cuz theres so mutch content possible to add

[drifting kiln]

so made money to be made*

[steep tapir]

Content= money

Or it gonna drop mid 2030s

I dont think it will drop in the 2020s

[pearl flume]

this is horrifying for the Germans

[steep tapir]

Bro you should able to make your own character and be able to start as a ganrele then progres as a field marshal then start a political party rise to power be able to be a dictator

[analog ivy]

yo what i hate about the ai in this game is the HUGE AMOUNT OF DIVISIONS THEY USE TO GARRISON THEIR ENTIRE COASTLINE

like if the AI focused atleast 90% of the divs on the actual frontline then they would actually have a chance

thats why i think the frontline ai mod should be integrated into the actual game

[icy crescent]

Got a screenshot?

[analog ivy]

not rn but i'll send one once im in a faction

but its literally the main reason why the ai is so bad at winning wars they just care about getting naval invaded in east siberia rather then the 30 tanks freely going through their territory

[fallen vigil]

no ironman mode

yolu used the console

hahaha

[pearl flume]

Console is empty

[fallen vigil]

if you restart the game it automatically becomes empty

hahahaha

[analog ivy]

basically this (we arent at war but it'd be the same still)

[pearl flume]

It's not THAT hard to fortify Stalin line

I put all mils onto infantry and support eq, mobilized like 500 divisions and put them all there

[flat barn]

tbh

thats only in peace time

italy is extremely breedable and submissive when the war starts

they have a massive coastline

we all know what britains like with naval invasions

[violet raptor]

A long long time ago I played Romania and I think I beat the Soviet Union but it has been a long time and I don't like them as much.

I will try to play in a smaller nation like Romania or even a South America one.

[flat barn]

just a tip

the breakthrough tends to come near latvia or the romanian front

so when your trying to push

go for one of those places

[pearl flume]

I already pushed from everywhere

[flat barn]

can i see

[flat barn]

oh shit that was like an hour ago lol

[flat barn]

now THAT is cute

seems like the allies are doing their part

[flat barn]

for once

[flat barn]

good

not the most crippling blow tho

[pearl flume]

I didn't know Soviets were this easy

Always played them like any other nation and wondered why I kept losing

but with Soviets I got basically infinite manpower

[flat barn]

Why am i not getting supply?

I have convoys

[icy crescent]

That's not "the entire coastline".
There are many gaps.
If you think, this is too much - it is wrong.

There are no defenses. Would be a cake walk.

[pearl flume]

This is quite.. realistic 💀

[marsh ravine]

Only 2 yrs early

[pearl flume]

e

[pearl flume]

Can you help me please

I want to release the balkans and eastern Europe as puppets

But I can't

And I don't think I can do any of these focuses

[marsh ravine]

Then u r stuck sadly

Or use cheats to release them

[vast stone]

I have great idea for adding event to Australia
In 1936 Tasmanian Tiger went extinct in zoo in Tasmania
There could be some event about it

[pearl flume]

Paradox should fix this, it makes no sense

[tame copper]

@analog ivy I got a new idea for an ideology

One that is against the entire idea of civilization

Lile

You do wc

And then

Abolish yourself

Or lile

Destroy everything

[silk matrix]

Rimworld player saying hoi4 is trash

[atomic grove]

its to prevent people from making barbarossa easier

if u release belarus and ukraine and lithuania just before barbarossa as puppets

u basically only have to do nothing but protect your coast

[pearl flume]

Yes but after you defeated Germany, you should be able to do whatever you want

[atomic grove]

i get that

however

they also probably dont want people from doing that with the allies or some other nation that isnt germany

for some reason

[astral slate]

what do i do as italy after taking ethiopia

and how do i fix my missing equipment production and insufficent recourses

[heavy vigil]

You need to produce artillery

For resources you trade or conquer

[astral slate]

how do i produce artillery

[atomic grove]

did u get a peace deal screen?

[astral slate]

not yet i have half of ethiopia but i think im losing

[heavy vigil]

Make a new production line

[flat barn]

hi

[atomic grove]

what month is it and show me ur screen

[astral slate]

i screenshot?

[atomic grove]

yeah

[astral slate]

i cant ss

is there any other button i can press

[atomic grove]

press prt sc

[heavy vigil]

Print screen

[astral slate]

that doesnt work

it just takes me to discord

[heavy vigil]

Play on windowed fullscreen iirc

[astral slate]

i must restart the game

it says my units are affected by attrition what does that mean

[atomic grove]

it means they are losing equipment overtime

[wicked cloak]

Js watch a guide smh

[atomic grove]

because they are not being properly supplied

[wicked cloak]

It's better than asking every question like dis

[astral slate]

im not watching a 2 hour guide

[atomic grove]

u should

if it teaches you about all the basics

then its likely worth it

[astral slate]

my units under ethiopia arent moving even tho i made an offensive line for thjem

[atomic grove]

did u do the tutorial?

[astral slate]

i should probaly do it again

i lost to ethiopia

[atomic grove]

yeah

[astral slate]

but should i just do a front line then an offensive line

[atomic grove]

yes

however

i recommend spearheading instead

[astral slate]

ok i can ss now

my planes arent doing anything

[flat barn]

Bruh how do i win this

[atomic grove]

simple

you dont

give up danzig

but if u want a challenge, then keep danzig

[astral slate]

do i use naval against ethiopia

[flat barn]

its really just hopeless

[flat barn]

what lol

[kind vale]

Just make alot of guns

[atomic grove]

no

anti air

every country can already make a ton of guns

[kind vale]

I was gonna say that but got lazy

[atomic grove]

just put 15-25 factories on guns

[kind vale]

Not really 😭😭

Tried playing as a central American country i was making like 1 a say

Day*

[astral slate]

why do my troops stop attacking

i send them to attack and then they jsut dont move

[flat barn]

how am i facking falling when i have no cas damage against me

stupid paradox german bias

nazi sympathisers

[gilded vessel]

every minute there is a new naval invasion on my allies yugoslavia or greece

[atomic grove]

dont be surprised when the entire german army is on your border

[flat barn]

we literally have nearly equal army sizes

[atomic grove]

and the fact they probably triggered their decision to give offense buffs to them in ur territory

[flat barn]

those buffs cant mean my entire collapse

[atomic grove]

add more divisions to the places where they are concentrating divs more

[flat barn]

its dedicated to their shitty ai armour too

[atomic grove]

the place where they concentrate the most divs are where they plan their offensives

[flat barn]

they are too fast to respond to

even on speed 3

[atomic grove]

might as well restart

[flat barn]

i couldnt have done anything better

i have save files

before the war

[atomic grove]

if you lose more than 1 tile as poland and they have fast tanks there u should just give up at that point unfortunately

[flat barn]

i focused on industry did the danzig focus then politics last

[flat barn]

i hate this games design sometimes

[hexed ridge]

anyone have ideas to bring this game back?

[flat barn]

you shouldnt be losing as germany

[atomic grove]

germany has a lot of army buffs

specifically in their army branch

[flat barn]

too many

germany relied on lots of luck

[atomic grove]

give it to bittersteel

[flat barn]

i just dont get how 5 % armour buff decides the game

[atomic grove]

also how tf did that even happen

[dapper veldt]

im the france player in this game

idk man

[astral slate]

how do i add more troops

[atomic grove]

recruit them

im pretty sure it says in the tutorial i think

[cedar crystal]

i got it guys

[hollow anvil]

How to get autarky without attacking the soviet union? AND without capitulating the allies

[opaque atlas]

guys

[astral slate]

oh i dont have any equipment

[opaque atlas]

does china's warlord decisions also work for commie china?

like if i puppet them

can i get mao as a general?

[atomic grove]

then make them

[atomic grove]

i dont think so

commie china aint a warlord

[gilded vessel]

bro why is the ai doing so many naval invasion like i unpause for 1 week and there are already 2 new naval invasions and like 3 failed ones

[opaque atlas]

hmm

[atomic grove]

they're just an insurgency'

[opaque atlas]

yeah you have point

shi

[astral slate]

is this making them

[atomic grove]

yes

[astral slate]

where will tehy spawn

[atomic grove]

i genuinely recommend u watch a tutorial so u get to know everything

[astral slate]

yeah i think im gonna do that

[gilded vessel]

when you spawn them

[flat barn]

polish meat holds the frontline? 😢

[gilded vessel]

what about the east*

[flat barn]

i got a nap with the ussr

im going to build an army when i can

This is so unrealistic paradox

im doing western defensive plans now

[icy crescent]

When I turn into the Sanatation Poland, the Danzig or War event doesn't trigger and they receive an instant wargoal against me.

Dunno why.

[atomic grove]

what year is it rn for u

[icy crescent]

The last games were like that around historical mid-end 39.

[flat barn]

World war two be like

[atomic grove]

your stability scares me

[flat barn]

why

im being bombed

im at war

half the countries gone

we are fighting a super power

we are a dictatorship

its not gonna be pretty

[atomic grove]

u should have political loyalty

not bold attack or the defense version of that

[flat barn]

ok that took me up to 50 %

[atomic grove]

more

[flat barn]

no

[atomic grove]

country people will stop working even though their country is on the brink of surrender

= your industry explodes (in a bad way) and u get some other bad stuff

[sudden grotto]

When you dont have Money this Is what you get

Are yall Born Rich or sum? 💔

[flat barn]

we have begun to stalemate them 💪

[atomic grove]

theres a way to make ur screen "bigger"

just lower the ui size

in settings

[sudden grotto]

Ye and seeing nothing

[atomic grove]

and then restart hoi4

[atomic grove]

wdym

[sudden grotto]

Nevaahhh, do such a thing

[flat barn]

germany is about to do around the maginot

[atomic grove]

german army will be distracted with the benelux

u can either take your time to build more forts and static anti air

or

retake your territory

and east prussia

[flat barn]

yeah

im gonna take an offensive into krakow

also im not gonna resist the soviets

i'll be back for them later

oh yeahh this is the same relief as taking a shit after a long hard day

@atomic grove

💪

[atomic grove]

why tf did u let czechoslovakia join

[flat barn]

i released them for a shorter frontlin

[atomic grove]

ik

but

why the hell

did u call them into the war

[flat barn]

desperate distraction

[atomic grove]

if u wanted a shorter frontline

[flat barn]

only once they got encircle

they had like 5 divs

it actually worked

gave me breathing time to entrench

[icy crescent]

You better get some trains, bbro.

[flat barn]

my men are running off cocaine peruvitan and sheer will power

[icy crescent]

Yes, but who drives the horses?

[sudden grotto]

*pure polish vodka

[icy crescent]

Na zdrowie. 🍻

[frank briar]

hey guys

[icy crescent]

Heya.

[tame copper]

In the next dlc

Should Chinese warlords get the option to side with japan

And try to become the new govt that way

[ivory kelp]

how does one beat soviet union

(new)

[autumn pond]

She hearting my of till I iron

[tame copper]

Why did you balkanize Germany?

[flat barn]

because im playing as poland

they want to kill and enslave all of my people

its just karma

[tame copper]

You coulda just puppeted them

[flat barn]

No

They dont deserve to be a strong and unified state

[tame copper]

Or annexed

[flat barn]

Resistance and ugly borders

[tame copper]

Annex and brutal oppression

[flat barn]

I like that
