[sudden thistle]

And whenever I play kx everyone joins the Reichspakt

[cerulean orchid]

i just did a kx game as communist france

it was pretty fun i united europe and got cores on everything and had like over 2000 factories

[quartz vigil]

Bad ending 2: everything is France 💔

[paper echo]

i wish it happened to me

cuz it was too easy and ruined the fun

all it took was 1 battleplan

[sudden thistle]

It’s still easy lol

Just spam out mediums and win

[paper echo]

welp its still harder than my games for sure

in this kx game germany flopped

it started losing at the start of the french war

i got a big ass navy from them

[sudden thistle]

Kx is a gamble

Either Germany locks tf in

Or just doesn’t do anything

[paper echo]

i surely know a lot about that

i wanted to play as tibet and do asia union thing and mongolia did mongolian empire

and it declared on me and i died

[tiny iris]

It seems like deleting the starting units and producing new ones with the old ones supplies, sucks. You get fewer soldiers and your manpower dissapears which means you can't produce more.

[paper echo]

imma declare war on third internationale

[gilded vessel]

why is everything german

[kind vale]

Should I use grand battleplan or mas mob as rexist Belgium

[pulsar sequoia]

Should I keep the empire as fascist UK?

[sudden thistle]

Yes

[dense citrus]

because i puppeted them

[zinc rune]

wtf 4 gigabytes for two mods

[gilded vessel]

millenium dawn and rt56?

[crisp wyvern]

[cursive ice]

how do i view other nations wars?

[sudden thistle]

I have 94gb worth of mods

[crisp wyvern]

i shall bow down infront of your majestic existance

[gilded vessel]

do you have the entire workshop downloaded in your playsets?

[sudden thistle]

Yes

[crisp wyvern]

my computer has a damn rtx 3060ti, 24Gigs of ram, a whole ass ssd and a hdd for the storage and speed, a good motherboard

and the thing still lags during late game

[gilded vessel]

100 mods vs hoi4

[stable trench]

hey have yall heard about the Nuclear Deterrence Mod? how do i blackmail a country?

[cursive ice]

7900 xtx and a i7-14700f, still lags for me too

[crisp wyvern]

i have a mod that adds the feature that whenever a nuke is dropped over a tile, that same tile is inaccesible and just changes to "radiation"

and after a year or so, a country can later annex that tile, lmao

[stable trench]

no its not that

this

[crisp wyvern]

just wanted to mention that mod, no idea how to blackmail a country too

[stable trench]

alr

[zinc light]

so as Belgium, you do all this preparation, all this interaction with the Congo, fixing your Economy, only to get your cheeks served to you on a silver platter later down the line?

[pale stream]

did I miss the hoi4 schizo update

btw china didn't even join anything

it's just straight up lies lmao

[zinc light]

Communist States of America

of course

[dusky burrow]

It will not avail them

[sudden thistle]

what

[leaden niche]

hoi4 went from sigma to ligma ngl 🥀

[inner jewel]

I love getting 100% world tension in 1938

[flat barn]

how the yalta conference should have went

[inner jewel]

POV: Poland has replaced Soviet Union

[flat barn]

yes

literally

since i beat narrrtzi germany

[sudden thistle]

so many soviets omg

[ripe slate]

this is how it should go 😛

[flat barn]

yugoslavia is a pretty major power

that feels right

[flat barn]

next update?

[ripe slate]

I added this in Road to 56 a while ago

Im pretty sure adding Yugoslavia in the example made it get so many more likes xD

[flat barn]

the bolsheviks have been forced to terms and have agreed to retreat to interwar borders

[flat barn]

we need a yugoslavia buff

yugoslavia is so poorly represented in vanilla

[ripe slate]

Yugoslavia actually has one of the larger post WW2 armies

[flat barn]

yeah

[zenith charm]

be happy with what you get.

[flat barn]

Yugoslavia in real life - goes communist and wages a guerilla warfare capaign
yugoslavia in hoi4 - goes fascist and does nothing at all

[ripe slate]

IIRC they got like 30 divisions, of which 2 tank divisions based on German and Soviet tanks

(I got this from a publicized CIA report from 1950~ so might not be accurate)

[flat barn]

yeah

post war they had like an army of 350 k

smaller than i thought

[wanton whale]

Graveyard of empires was 6 months ago

[flat barn]

maybe i wasnt counting reservists

[flat barn]

Yeah i forgot all about it

[ripe slate]

Makes me feel so old

[flat barn]

Forgot it was a dlc tbh

[wanton whale]

Only good thing out of it was the East India company

[flat barn]

Same with trial of allegiance

A lot of bad dlcs released

[wanton whale]

Gotterdamerung was good

[flat barn]

Yeah but we paid for a german rework already

they sold us what we paid for before

damn paradox for that

[ripe slate]

All Axis nations had only recently been allowed to build new armies IIRC, so for Eastern Europe I think they probably were easily in the top 3 (excluding USSR)

[flat barn]

they are lucky they have such a loyal fanbase

[wanton whale]

they are too busy with prison architect

[flat barn]

Do you think yugoslavia could have resisted a soviet invasion

[craggy trail]

Le Resistance

[ripe slate]

Realistically no one could do that post WW2

[flat barn]

afghanistein :

[ripe slate]

Hahaha

[flat barn]

louxembeherg :

liechtenstoun :

listenburg :

[ripe slate]

I think USA had like an army of 10 million and USSR of only slightly more than that, but of the US army, only like 2 million was actual troops on the ground IIRC

[flat barn]

Yeah i always get confused when viewing army numbers

[ripe slate]

Dont take those numbers literally, my memory is shady, but US army was mostly support, and USSR mostly direct units

[flat barn]

It says the USSR had an army of 32 million

Yet on the frontline it only shows 6 million peak in the army sizes ww2 videos

It confuses me

[sudden thistle]

do u know if there is a way to un-ironman a hoi4 save?

this one save game has been pissing me off so much

[ripe slate]

I assume you havent save-edited before?

[sudden thistle]

no

[ripe slate]

Go to Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV and in settings.txt

set save_as_binary to no

[flat barn]

do you like yugoslavia

[ripe slate]

See if that turns the ironman saves into editable files as well

[icy crescent]

Self Balkanizing gives you tons of factories.
Hell yeah.

[flat barn]

do you wish it survived?

i sure do

i love yugoslavia

[sudden thistle]

it opened and i edited it in the notepad

[flat barn]

it has such lovely borders

[sudden thistle]

is that good?

[ripe slate]

Yeh sure

[sudden thistle]

imma guess i reload the save then

[warped flint]

I love this conversion stuff, i can get so much air and just incinerate sov air

[sudden thistle]

Ironman is still on

Do I do anything more?

[gilded vessel]

omg ai luxembourg world conquest

[flat barn]

Im a luxembourgish nationalist

[ripe slate]

You gotta run the save for a moment so that it resaves non-binary]

then you might be able to open it in a text editor and remove the ironman flag

[flat barn]

[icy crescent]

Interesting choice.
Will try next play.

Aight, thx.

[dusky burrow]

The majority of supporting assets, like ships, were provided by the British

For instance of 4100 landing craft, 3300 were British

[wary sparrow]

communist?

[languid patrol]

no

[wary sparrow]

hrm

well

[dusky burrow]

?????

[wary sparrow]

usually civs going away is cause of civil war getting ready to start

[languid patrol]

an excellent idea!

[wary sparrow]

but maybe its your trade going down

[dusky burrow]

True

[wary sparrow]

since you get civs from trade

[languid patrol]

ahh maybe

[wary sparrow]

and if you are using more of your resources theres less to sell

[languid patrol]

they just all came back

out of no where

[wary sparrow]

Partly I wanna get the achievement for restoring Ottoman empire, partly because I've never tried the Otto path because after my first time playing Turkey I came to the conclusion their focus tree is kinda doodoo

If that path is better tho I'll try another game in that path

[sudden grotto]

Hardly anything sevres? Thats, quite the achivement

[mint arrow]

I restored the Ottoman Empire in my save through sheer will and kebap juices running in my veins.

Nobody's Business but the Turks

I ain't doing hardly anything svres lol

At least not yet...

Hear me out, these things are OP

No they aren't, but they can be pretty useful

[jolly kettle]

How's your Australia game going? Which path did you take, allying with Japan or making your own faction?

[flat barn]

Allying japan

Havent helped in china yet

[inner jewel]

The problem with the focus path imo is the lack of cores

[jolly kettle]

It's why I puppeted everything

in my game

[flat barn]

Thats why i gave myself cores

[wanton whale]

They are just faster infantry

[flat barn]

Feels surreal playing so close to the iron borders lol

[wanton whale]

If you can use them, there is no reason not to

[inner jewel]

This is the first time I've been able to get this large ingame and I'm proud of myself

[jolly kettle]

Good job!

[dusky burrow]

Expensive

[inner jewel]

thanks :)

[dusky burrow]

They cost 10 support equipment = 40 more ic than infantry

[wanton whale]

To be honest, if you have a good industry, the support equipment shouldn't matter

[dusky burrow]

This increases the cost by 69% if you use guns 2

[inner jewel]

I like how Germany is just Poland lmao

[dusky burrow]

So you can get less than 3 bicycle divisions for every 5 infantry

[wanton whale]

well, if Belgium was able to do it then surely the bigger powers can?

[jolly kettle]

You did what the USSR did to German "diaspora" except you pushed them Eastwards lmao

[wanton whale]

I've been using just them the whole game

[inner jewel]

lol

[inner jewel]

they don't have a single core too XD

[loud shuttle]

united states of ohio because thats what i unified as

[dusky burrow]

I mean they can work for offensive units so yeah

Although the breakthrough would be a bit low and mass mob infantry would work better

Not that.
The transporters.
Do you have them?
And actually 70% air and not just green?

[digital ingot]

bro what is that ottoman empire

[digital ingot]

YES

i have said that like one thousand times

[icy crescent]

Are they set to a mission?

Or idle?

[digital ingot]

100% on all

and 80% on one

[icy crescent]

The transporters need to be idle.

Are you at war with Japan?

[placid sleet]

[digital ingot]

[placid sleet]

the world rn

[icy crescent]

Hmmm.

[digital ingot]

[placid sleet]

the germans have 60 divisions

the ottomans have 283

[digital ingot]

so uhh

what should i do

i really need to paradrop them

[placid sleet]

just cheat lil bro

[digital ingot]

im playing ironman

[placid sleet]

then do a rambler fail

[icy crescent]

Your paratroopers are really on the correct airport with the transport planes on idle and NOT on supply mission?

[digital ingot]

yes

the tranport planes are not in mission

and they are in the correct airport

even worse japanese hasnt capitulated china

and yet they are resisting like bro

[weary osprey]

My laptop is pretty old
So utilising even 4 threads at max potential would probably make the game run pretty good

[undone vale]

sadly it will never happen

they would have to make an entirely new engine and then basically rewrite the whole game

[placid sleet]

hoi5 surely...

[digital ingot]

it says i can do it

[undone vale]

one can dream 😭

[digital ingot]

nvm i just did it

it was bc i had too many divs

[fading rampart]

whats a good medium tank division

[sharp sierra]

one that has a bunch of good tanks and a bunch of good support companies

[flat barn]

this is so endsieg

we need to secure the raj and pacific before china and the soviets come crashing down on us in full

my navy is small but is inflicting good losses but is it enough?

[sharp sierra]

how much other territory do you have

[sharp sierra]

i wouldnt use the surface ships for anything except supremacy u should build subs if you really want to trash the ai at sea

or to take out the enemy escorts

[fading rampart]

is sub spam good

[sharp sierra]

why woudltn it be good

subs are good

you could do the always engage thing or not its up to you

[silk fern]

always does the job eventually

[flat barn]

im doing light cruisers

convoy raid

baited engagement

killed 70 allied naval vessels in a battle

[sharp sierra]

how many u got so far

ig ur industry just gonna explode at this point anyways

peoples tips as far as what theyd do in a certain situation half the time are useless

[flat barn]

20

be mindful i lost like 5-8 in a battle

worth it tho cuz i killed 60-80 naval vessels of the allies

[sharp sierra]

for suure

what armor tech

[flat barn]

2

you dont usually need armour since light crusiers plow through ais shit

but i gave it just cuz i cant afford to lose them

[sharp sierra]

yea there might not be a huge noticeable difference with and without armor but armored light cruisers is kind of why theyre so op

[flat barn]

progress i made island hopping is now being undone

💔

[sharp sierra]

ig australia starts with all the necessary navy tech

[flat barn]

nah

cannons 2

[sharp sierra]

yea thats all you need

[flat barn]

mnedium

thats all i ever bother to research as brazil or whoever else

im fine with early cruisers even idc as long as they got armor

why do you have 5 mils on artillery

[sharp sierra]

yea i noticed that too

[misty fossil]

line arty is utterly useless because it offers lower soft attack per cw that line inf

[remote quarry]

not using the equipment anyway🤣

[sharp sierra]

idc to say anything about it anymore the artillery rigamarole is never ending

[misty fossil]

just use support arty

look at the stockpiled number

[flat barn]

raj has fallen

[flat barn]

its on marines only

its the meta

[sharp sierra]

no

[flat barn]

i have a shit ton of everything

[flat barn]

yes

[sharp sierra]

that unit isnt that good

especially late game

[flat barn]

india has fallen

indochina is a shit show

chinese front is declining fast

manchuria is now korea

[placid sleet]

somehow china succeeded in their dominate japan focus

[flat barn]

im at a loss

what do i do

[sharp sierra]

save japanese divisions in the north

ig

idk

[flat barn]

it's time for the greater asian pact to sign a temporary peace settlement to focus on the bolshevik threat

[crystal marsh]

vanilla console-made 1750 map

udmurtia serves as a placeholder nation for states with no occupant at the time

oh in this case

the spiritual state of udmurt vos

[chilly cipher]

Udmurt fascism

Oh and the collective security policy focus is useless for me now

[crystal marsh]

i made it fascist so it could better control all the occupied states

[chilly cipher]

The political advisor got purged just seconds after I completed the focus

[crystal marsh]

through brutal oppression

[flat barn]

the western allies have withdrawed from the pacific inorder to preserve their presence in europe

[shell gyro]

Why did HOI4 go back up to 49.99$

[crystal marsh]

its always been 50 dollars

[shell gyro]

Yee whizz

[crystal marsh]

they just often do 70% sales

[shell gyro]

Oh right.

[crystal marsh]

a bit too often id argue

[chilly cipher]

Summer sale ended

[shell gyro]

It’s best.

[crystal marsh]

for us yes

but that just makes sales drop during non-sale hours

[chilly cipher]

I’m sorry generals but your equipment is more expensive for the next few months

[shell gyro]

I feel like Total War is outselling…

[crystal marsh]

its just a stupid decision corporate wise

[crystal marsh]

then again it could be viewed as a compensation for the ungodly high prices of dlcs

[shell gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/grail-knights-total-war-warhammer-bretonnia-charge-warhammer-fantasy-gif-19375204

[dusky burrow]

It's even worse for marines since they get soft attack bonuses

[crystal marsh]

i will stand by this opinion till my grave, hoi4 dlcs should be limited to alt history content

no feature or historical branch should be behind a paywall

[shell gyro]

No…

[flat barn]

how do i change it

[crystal marsh]

elaborate

[shell gyro]

Nvm I take it back

[flat barn]

yes

you are right

[shell gyro]

I take it back

You got a point

[flat barn]

paradox is greedy and scummy

[crystal marsh]

i saw

[shell gyro]

Although aren’t the DLC’s all in HOI4 vanilla, as mods???

One big present, wrapped up in cash

Over 100 dollars spent..

[crystal marsh]

pain.

[shell gyro]

Tip: never use marines, use regular troops, for any landings.

[shell gyro]

I new it

[flat barn]

what why lol

[shell gyro]

Aren’t marines more expensive?…and also, they suck at defending ports..

[crystal marsh]

marines are like heavy tanks

too costly for too little of a difference

[shell gyro]

Rlly…?….

[flat barn]

i was using them to go on the offensive not defensive

[crystal marsh]

if you have the industy, go for it

but its just not worth as minor powers

unless all you do is naval invasions/island hopping

[shell gyro]

Japan be like:

[crystal marsh]

yeah marines are good for japan

at least in mp

[shell gyro]

And Us

US*

I think from Britain’s too…

Marines suck tho for the Soviets since…they a massive block…

[crystal marsh]

marines are good for all majors with good navies in multiplayer

[shell gyro]

So let’s say Spain….?

[crystal marsh]

is spain a major to you

[shell gyro]

It’s like a second world nation.

[crystal marsh]

i meant nations like japan, usa, uk, france

italy to some extent

although no i take that back

italy's theatre doesnt require marines

unless you want to take a heavily fortified gibraltar/malta

in mp

[sharp sierra]

mega poop

[shell gyro]

It requires some smart generals

[crystal marsh]

crazy

[shell gyro]

[umbral agate]

is 3 150% industry tech boosts better or worse than 7.5% civ construction speed?

[crystal marsh]

worse

[shell gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/hoi4-micromanage-gif-20717885

[crystal marsh]

@umbral agate does the construction speed boost expire

or no

[umbral agate]

no

[crystal marsh]

if yes for how long is it

ok then go for it

[flat barn]

funny thing is thats the raj front

[crystal marsh]

Do you play Total War, Napoleon?

[magic tendon]

just watched that on my recommended lol

[umbral agate]

alr well ima play my game

[magic tendon]

yeah it needs to change

[crystal marsh]

yeah you can

[umbral agate]

ill tell u how its going

[crystal marsh]

but it wastes you an advisor slot

[shell gyro]

Saving this.

[crystal marsh]

and the research boosts are finite

[umbral agate]

i want to get the advisors

[chilly cipher]

SHOULD I ACCEPT?

[crystal marsh]

i always want to look for the long run

[flat barn]

👊

we are on the counter offensive

[shell gyro]

👍

[crystal marsh]

there are better advisors than civ construction speed ones

[shell gyro]

They will incircle you in lower Manchuria..

[crystal marsh]

forgot how they were called

[umbral agate]

its 36

[shell gyro]

Albert Speer

And uhhh

Nikolay Voznesenky

[cedar sable]

what do i do first civs or mils

[shell gyro]

Mills…so you have a proper production of weapons etc.

[flat barn]

i dont think so

[serene token]

Depends on how much civs and mils you have.

[shell gyro]

Nice counter-attack.

[cedar sable]

so what if im italy

for example

[serene token]

4 out of 1 million divisions.

[serene token]

I haven't played Italy in like a month, so I don't remember how many civs they have.

[shell gyro]

You should first push into Mongolia since they have an a## army, and go around to incircle the others.

[flat barn]

Now that i dont need to garrison the homeland 48 divisions will go to china

[shell gyro]

Past Chita.

[serene token]

Normally I even then out, unless you don't have enough resources needed for military production.

[flat barn]

Soviets have 4.47 million deployed

[serene token]

Shoot

[flat barn]

However i dont think the majority of those men are concerned with manchuria...

[serene token]

They at war with the allies?

[flat barn]

Yeah

[crystal marsh]

No as in the role

[flat barn]

Britain declared war on soviet iraq

[crystal marsh]

Not the advisor

[serene token]

So that should help out quite a bit.

[shell gyro]

Oh.

[crystal marsh]

Like fortification engineer, illusive gentleman, etc

[shell gyro]

Iraq lost its monarchy?

[crystal marsh]

Oh I got it

Captain of Industry

[shell gyro]

Isn’t there one that buffs defenses.

Or I mean

Troop exp.

[crystal marsh]

Thats a mil chief of staff

[shell gyro]

Bot defenses..

Not*

[shell gyro]

Could you tell me which advisors I could use for…let’s say….construction speed buffs.
