hoi4-general

[sharp sierra]

you went to service by requirement which is 10%

youre still at 1.5% or whatever and mobilizing

extensive is all u need to win

[snow rain]

change your garrison law

you probably have something around 800k in it

also stop training

[fierce mist]

i did test it to civilian got 80k manpower from it

brotha

wrong

[snow rain]

you need mp for garrisons first then divs. not enough for garrison is a deathtrap

[fierce mist]

2 sec

[sharp sierra]

my guy the only issue is the men havent mobilized yet

[fallen vigil]

i hate playing as minors

[snow rain]

you don't need to be on service by requirement

you just took too long to click the women in the workforce decision

[empty spindle]

^

Ima wait

Im so dumb ngl....

[sharp sierra]

3 research slots is all you need 😏

[snow rain]

you're at 1.5% at the time, you can go down to 5% and it won't change the fact you're still mobilizing

[empty spindle]

alr what path do yall reccomend?

Like any country path

[crimson knot]

peak

[hybrid galleon]

Who pinged me

[crimson knot]

Erich raeder monarchist germany

[empty spindle]

I assume you pick the dictator path

for the kaiserreich?

[crimson knot]

When the civil war starts you get a decision about the navy, you click the one where it says we must have their loyalty at all costs or whatever

[empty spindle]

and don't get the loyalty

[crimson knot]

this will force you to do the high seas fleet focus, and 2 otther

you dont

[empty spindle]

so you get a naval dictator?

[crimson knot]

and then he coups

[crimson knot]

yeah

its just like normal kaiser but i guess its not

[empty spindle]

I feel like just picking the dictator focus

who does it give?

Or getting strasser

[crimson knot]

or go historical, but dont do 4 year plan, and just use the stupid cheap infantry divs so that you can send volluunteers, and never join any wars directly

[crimson knot]

which one? like the military dictatorship? that one just gives you a weird leader i dont remember exactly

[empty spindle]

Do I make two types of infantry?

Because

I always use one

And I found out how important fuel is recently

[crimson knot]

NEVER use js one type of inf, atleast have port guards

[empty spindle]

Alr

[crimson knot]

or even better like 12 or 16w inf for defence and then a 30w offensive one if you wanna do infantry

[empty spindle]

I have 800 hours my dumb self never uses them

[crimson knot]

which i never do cuz blitzkrieg is fun

[empty spindle]

Just use old infantry divsions

[crimson knot]

i have like 500

[empty spindle]

So make heavy infantry i assume?

[crimson knot]

yeah

[empty spindle]

and port guards

[crimson knot]

OR just use tanks idk

[empty spindle]

Both tanks and heavy infantry

[crimson knot]

or use one type of infantry but to do any pushing you will need CAS

[empty spindle]

ik

[crimson knot]

i swear the AI somehow gets 10000 planes every time i play

[empty spindle]

Make good planes and cheap planes

thats what I do

[crimson knot]

aint the meta best engine and 2 slots w 4 heavy mgs?

and then wtv else you use like extra fuel tanks or wtv

[fallen vigil]

is this a good 1940 cas template?

[haughty sail]

No

[fallen vigil]

what do i do then

[haughty sail]

Up your speed and decrease ur weight

Also have a little air attack in

[fallen vigil]

what

you dont need air attack for cas

as long as you have fighters

and air superiority

[haughty sail]

If ur getting hit by other planes ye

[fallen vigil]

air superiority shouldnt be a problem in SP

[sharp sierra]

i just do dive brakes extra tanks and bomb locks

to me it doesnt matter much

[sudden thistle]

maybe armour plates /dive brakes

other than that its fine

[fallen vigil]

cant

literally cant add anything else

[sudden thistle]

oh yeah thrust

ur fine

[deep osprey]

Hey quick question, when going for the kaiseress, do I NEED to get Wilhelm the 3rd instead of his father, or is that just faster than waiting for his father to die?

[craggy trail]

@supple kettle @rustic furnace After some pressing matters later, we're ready to unleash the sun ☀️

[supple kettle]

ahhh yes and then instantly cancel war plan OwO

[fallen vigil]

how do i improve this? i have over 1k convoys

[sudden thistle]

convoy raiding i think

[supple kettle]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/204962483499171840/1417594202417664152/Frogmoh.gif

[craggy trail]

They need to defend their convoys

[split bane]

Convoy escort to try and get less of them blown up

[craggy trail]

The submarines are invading

[quaint kettle]

Chat, WW2, novum vexillium or mil. Dawn

[deep osprey]

Novum

[craggy trail]

You have to refuse to bring back Kaiser wilhelm from the Netherlands

So Wilhelm the III

[deep osprey]

So even though Wilhelm the second dies of old age eventually, that will block her from.being able to become a leader?

[craggy trail]

Kaiser Wilhelm III needs to die for the Kaiserin to go into power

[quaint kettle]

Fr

Just how do you work the EU in novum

[craggy trail]

"Request Restoration of British Titles" in your decisions when you get it

[deep osprey]

Oh I know the whole process, I just don't like Wilhelm the 3rd being my leader while building up to her. Was hoping I could enjoy her grandfather for a while until he dies, then replace his son with his granddaughter

[deep osprey]

But nobody does that, which makes me think that bringing him back stops the event chain or something

[deep osprey]

Tbh I don't even know what Novem is, I just don't like millennium dawn and though novum sounded cool

[craggy trail]

Yeah. Bringing back Wilhelm II will stop the event chain as far as I know

[frank estuary]

Mussolini, as per usual, has been incapable of defending his country on his own. For national security, I decided to step in and give them a hand, only for them to collapse into a civil war and lose key territory, obliterating the supply line (somehow). Any advice on how to proceed?

[deep osprey]

Spam ports, quick to build and supply well

[frank estuary]

As you can see, there are already ports and I'm connected to my capital. The only thing that might be making it worse is not being in a faction with Italy (just mil access).

[timber swallow]

this good for 100 hours??

[weary rivet]

Go the romanov route and core that entire land

[timber swallow]

ok

[craggy trail]

Not bad at all

https://tenor.com/view/derpy-derpy-hooves-mlp-my-little-pony-clap-gif-15401120

[soft shale]

guys i haven't played in a bit how do i make all supply hubs use trucks

[supple kettle]

just use the small icon near a general/ fieldmarshall portait

[soft shale]

Thanks mate

also i don't understand the facilites thing since i haven't played the dlc this is my first time is it important to invest in it in singleplayer or is it ok if i ignore it

[craggy trail]

You can individually click on a supply hub to motorize it as well

[soft shale]

yeye ik that

[craggy trail]

Other than that, your general/field marshal's motorization button is the second one to the left

[soft shale]

Thank you

[craggy trail]

New Mareland has it's own focus tree if they are allied with Daybreaker

[supple kettle]

yes very nicely designed

[safe wing]

Playing Lithuania

guess what path I'm going to do

[terse ether]

poland lithuania

@safe wing

[safe wing]

yes

[craggy trail]

God Empress

I also can use last stand and foce attack at reduced cost

[supple kettle]

played the path once its fun :3

[supple kettle]

even though its day for u , goodnight

[craggy trail]

Night night!

Eeep well

[buoyant flume]

hi

[soft shale]

can i change the company of something in production without me having to remove it and put it again because the effeciency will be wasted

[buoyant flume]

pov the crusades

[ebon osprey]

yeah sure I guess

[buoyant flume]

i fogor are space marines worth it

[fallow grove]

Yes

[buoyant flume]

time for humgray space marines

[fallow grove]

But one space marine won’t work you need a consistent number of them

[buoyant flume]

obvousily

[jade ore]

or stalin idk

[bronze mango]

I don't see any reason why stalin or chiang should be blurred out

[soft shale]

how do i change my garrison division

[leaden crescent]

why do my justifications take like 200 days im fascist and world tensions is 100%

[jade ore]

its a teaser idk

maybe hirohito

[bronze mango]

That just makes no sense

Same uniform colour as mao so chances are a communist china leader, or potentially a korea teaser

[paper echo]

its tsar nicholas ii bro trust

[glacial oasis]

omg
you know how nazis called the third reich the 'thousand year reich'
and theres a hoi4 mod called thousand week reich
the hoi4 devs missed the perfect chance to call the civil war focus for germany 'thousand day reich'

jesus christ

[jade ore]

thousand minute reich

[glacial oasis]

thousand millisecond reich

[jade ore]

thousand picosecond reich

takes us more time to blink

[rose prawn]

Habsburgs are the thousand year dynasty btw

[split bane]

Its called that because the civil war happens a thousand weeks after Hitler rose to power

[glacial oasis]

im aware

the civil war in hoi4 happens
about
1000 days after the nazis rise to power

[icy crescent]

Chat.
Name a non-major nation bigger than one state.

[paper echo]

its funny cuz from 1933 to 1936 around 1000 days have passed

so it would make a bit sense

[paper echo]

tibet

[icy crescent]

Interesting.

[paper echo]

i have a better one

oman

[icy crescent]

I already tried Oman.
Lack of manpower.
Otherwise forming Arabia Achievement would be slightly more enjoyable.

Maybe another time.

[safe wing]

Poland

[icy crescent]

Yeah, no.
Mr. Mentally White said Tibet already

[paper echo]

syria then

try that after tibet

[icy crescent]

Then I got with Syria.

[paper echo]

can you also play with releaseables

if yes then do kurdistan

not the iraqi path

[icy crescent]

What flavor of Syria?

[paper echo]

you use that mod?

do it with vanilla generic

[icy crescent]

Yes.

Nay.

[feral lark]

did i do it right?

[soft shale]

managed to defeat all allies and soviets in july 1941 is that impressive or

[safe wing]

It is

[icy crescent]

Both before 42?
Nice one.

[feral lark]

as germany?

[icy crescent]

Still good.

[feral lark]

oh yeah, it's impressive

[soft shale]

i did it with mass assault

it really is op

[feral lark]

never seen an M in the combat log before...

also, apparently my planes are out here birthing enemy soldiers...

[hollow pulsar]

Victoria 2 ahh ahh scenario

[buoyant flume]

[fallen vigil]

what are some fast templates that can move fast not just in plains like in hills and forests since trucks are painfully slow in anything outside of plains

[tame frigate]

what to do with all this land? (I'm turkey)

[sharp sierra]

civilian oversight get to 60% compliance mayb

[feral lark]

you can get rid of the line guns, too, to make it even better

[fallen vigil]

tyy but whats that 4th support company?

[feral lark]

stormtroopers. it's a germany-exclusive div.

[fallen vigil]

thanks i appreciate it

[feral lark]

if i wasn't playing germany, i'd probably get rid of the line guns and replace stormtroopers with AA

[sharp sierra]

why include rocket arty or any line ordnance at all

[feral lark]

because it's bleeping 1958 and i still have all of south bleeping america to conquer before the peace deal pops

[sharp sierra]

including that just makes the unit more dogshit with better infantry equipment

[feral lark]

they're lucky they don't have freaking land cruisers in their divs

[sharp sierra]

get flame tanks inthere

[feral lark]

to schlep through the amazon? ehhhh

[sharp sierra]

uh yeah

[feral lark]

that seems like a supply nightmare

[sharp sierra]

ur trollin

supply nightmare is the dog shit line ordnance you have in that template thats why u need the logi company

[plucky girder]

guys, does building on my occupied territories give them more compliance?

[feral lark]

taking out all the line guns and the logi company puts supply usage only .1 less than with them all

[feral lark]

that does indeed seem better

use that, yeah lol

what's your flame tank template?

[sharp sierra]

i actually make them a little more priocey then other people

[feral lark]

not a concern

[sharp sierra]

those modules for the breakthrough

you could actually just max the armor tick and stuff

if u have infinite factories

radio too maybe

[feral lark]

which model is that?

advanced?

[sharp sierra]

well in the screenshot is was interwar

i would use basic at most

[feral lark]

im just messing around with the template and didn't want to be too far off

[sharp sierra]

i mean do whatever u want

[feral lark]

no i mean i'm going to post a screenshot too

too off in comparing

even more expensive, but also more breakthrough

[fallen vigil]

chile starts with two research slots why can i only add one more...

i thought the minimum was 4

[cerulean anvil]

paradox pwease add the rest of the hoi3 songs 🙏

[safe wing]

I used something like this

it worked

way too well

[sharp sierra]

extra ammunition storage is the best module

jk probably hmg is better

for regulars yes

for flames no

[bright sinew]

which path for poland

[serene token]

Anna

[bright sinew]

well i should say

ive never played poland before but i have 3.8k hours

[serene token]

Go to the November 4, reject the kings like 8-9 times

[bright sinew]

this is actually a p nice focus tree

i dont remember it being this big when i last opened it

[serene token]

Then you should get a decision for Anna

[sharp sierra]

poland romania

[serene token]

Anna

[bright sinew]

ok well like

whats the first focus then for anna

[sharp sierra]

a decision tab will happen

it will keep giving you options

reject them till you get the person you want to lead

[safe wing]

I'm going to become a naval expert in real life

[visual pasture]

[wind swift]

Finishing a game of hoi4 is so sad

[safe wing]

good luck

also you're gonna have to claw up the ranks to become a naval expert

you're gonna be a sailor first before you become an admiral

[tacit onyx]

Even as Germany?

[slim nexus]

When will the devs add good states so you can make nice borders

[wind swift]

Especially

700 mils at max eff cap. And nobody who needs them

[glass folio]

Yeah I know lol

I was just makin a joke

[clear dagger]

theres a secret poland path?

[sharp storm]

You can get a secret leader who claims to be Anastasia Romanov if you deny all the monarchist candidates

[clear dagger]

is it good?

[sharp storm]

Haven't played it, but I've heard it's pretty good

[clear dagger]

i wonder what happens if you also deny that and they just have a chair to rule for life

[sharp storm]

I don't think you can

[split bane]

It just makes you pick the Comonwealth Claiment iirc

[sudden falcon]

couldnt i just start the civil war, play as the fascists and intentionally lose

theres no way this is possible

wtf

[safe wing]

did you do the rally the free corps focus

I take it you didn't

because it gives you 48 divisions

[sudden falcon]

great game design

i lose the civil war because i didnt know to do ONE FOCUS

[safe wing]

show me what focuses you did

you wanna do these 4

especially the bottom 2

[sudden falcon]

this game is rigged

[analog ivy]

uh oh

[night lintel]

i wouldn't go for fascist america it really sucks tbh

[safe wing]

yeah its bland

gonna play as the Kaiserin for the achivement

I'm gonna beeline these 5 focuses

35.2/0's here I come

[analog ivy]

this is bad

[safe wing]

what path do you consider the best for the USA? its either Communist or Democratic IMO

[astral forum]

lmao love when this happens (ignore that I lost Kiel in the German civil war the south was weirdly hard to get through 😭 (its been a few months))

[safe wing]

what?

I win it by July 1936

[astral forum]

yeahhh its been a really long time since I've played the game so I've forgotten how to do anything in it 😭

[drifting kiln]

someone ban this guy for being a nazi

[night lintel]

how it that nazi

[hoary mortar]

im tired gn all have a good weekend

[split bane]

Chat, is this mod peak?

[night lintel]

yes (it does nothing but still peak)

[rich nacelle]

Is it like impossible to make a strategic bomber with the By Blood Alone DLC? I have tried everything and it never is a strat bomber.

[dawn copper]

How long does an MP game usually take?

[opal nymph]

Large airframe

Put large bomb bays

What have you been using

[sharp sierra]

i think too long thats why nobody with a life plays

[fair horizon]

wrong UK 🤮

[brittle cypress]

host left the game just as barbarossa started rip

i mean i did a shitty build but still

oh my god i think i would have won against germany this is what i get

i thought i messed things up

[dusky burrow]

What was the germany player doing 😭

[brittle cypress]

so like

hold up i gotta launch another instance

i only see the factory count right, and he's got all of europe and like 50 more mils than me

and i see he's making heavy tanks so i'm like hmm this guy must be good

the heavy tanks were using medium cannon 2, the doctrine was mobile warfare, he had no air

i would have just had to press battleplan and eventually i would've been in berlin

it was an early war though so i was still like 2 nodes away from finishing mass mob so i panicked

[errant remnant]

Guys give me an extremely almost impossible challenge im bored

Then imma do a poll of em

[dusky burrow]

I see

[wind swift]

Late game is sort of relaxing

[dusky burrow]

True

[brittle cypress]

insane take imo

[fair horizon]

tibet world conquest

[dusky burrow]

Like you have no enemies and all the techs

You screan when you go to a true peer-on-peer war

But you can just gobble up countries like no tomorrow

[brittle cypress]

late game is stressful

or at least not relxing

you just sit there waiting for things happen

or you're constantly microing

and you're tired and you're impatient

[rich nacelle]

I thought you could use mediums 😭

[fair horizon]

why would i bother microing late game? i didnt spend the whole game doing nothing

[brittle cypress]

ok well if you don't even have big enemies left then it's even worse you're just waiting for naval invasions and messing with navy

or watching the game run slow

[fair horizon]

like if you get to late game and you havent won by air i guess that sucks

yeah thats fair

brazil world conquest acheivement was kinda crap

[opal nymph]

Tac bombers are not strat bombers

[median jackal]

Do civil wars not suck yet?

[opal nymph]

Wdym

They kinda are meant to be annoying

[median jackal]

when i played long ago there was no way to know how many armies each side would get

[uneven portal]

ah yes lets arm our aircraft with nuclear missiles to ensure the enemy planes are dead on impact!

this'll do the trick

We need a mod that ruins the EaW gui fr fr

Make it unreadable

[misty fossil]

fighting equestria UFS was such a slog

they fielded tank divisions that fully pierced my armour divs

[dusky burrow]

That's a lot of missiles

[misty fossil]

not even full air cover could defeat the UFS horde

i eventually had to pop that super speed boost thing to overrun all of them

[misty fossil]

just need a few more armour modules

[rustic furnace]

Thats not enough

Weak plane

[misty fossil]

mind you i invaded around stalliongrad so i was fighting on plains instead of the jungles in the southwest area

shush

he didnt run improved air rework

[drifting kiln]

is this a mod?

[misty fossil]

looks to be vanilla

[craggy trail]

I've gotten pretty far since the whole war started

[misty fossil]

someone should check if celestia is doing well

how do you play as her anyway

trigger civil war then tag switch?

That or you can also do that during the Great War as well

If you want a better ship during ship refits here are the followings that you should do:

2 upgrade secondary armaments
3 upgrade radar and range finder acoustics

Guys I am bored, what mod should I play?
Just give me some or one lol

[craggy trail]

This took painfully longer to take out Stalliongrad

I lost a whole army group in the north from encirclements

ouch

shouldnt have done that

[craggy trail]

Well all of Equus apart from Hawkland's possessions in the Dragon Isles are mine now

[misty fossil]

500k manpower

yep rip your army

[craggy trail]

Something in my brain told me that having no line artillery is good...

[misty fossil]

because its bad

line arty is

[craggy trail]

I can't really comprehend it

I know that high org is good on defense, but that extra soft attack means a lot

[supple gulch]

Uh maybe but no cuz this would take up industry space

Instead follow the tips i left for all of you

[craggy trail]

Especially +170 soft attack

[misty fossil]

because uh

for one thing you're designing an offensive template

for that id just use pure mountaineer + marines blocks

[strong belfry]

lil bud looks like an american politic

[misty fossil]

secondly line arty sucks for defensive, which should be what you 're aiming for

[vapid bough]

broke

[craggy trail]

My tanks do the offense for me

[misty fossil]

then drop the arty

you just dont need those redundant ic

also make that 36cw

and make amphib tanks with amtracs

much more damage output that way especially over rivers + special forces bonus

[supple gulch]

And also if you want to hunt down convoy escorts efficiently, look for the deeper oceans

[strong belfry]

use heavy tanks

[craggy trail]

Medium tanks are a lot preferable for me

[craggy trail]

The ai uses line artillery in their infantry

[misty fossil]

so if they use their inf to attack you they bleed harder

[trim pike]

High org is always good

[craggy trail]

They had too many tanks

[supple gulch]

Yeah go with it too

[trim pike]

Dont be a sucker for soft

U get bad terrain

Bad hp

Lower bonuses

Lower org

[craggy trail]

I only had 8 at the start. Lost 2 tank divisions, an entire infantry army group and several more infantry divisions from overruns

[trim pike]

All bad on offense too

[green moss]

is it alright if I'll reverse-engineer into HOI4 files in order to make my own console command

I know that it's assigned in scripted effects with "d_command"

but I need specific command like human_ai

[craggy trail]

But I really want to counter high soft attack with high soft attack, even sacrificing some org just to hold on

[trim pike]

U do u but overall removing arty and filling inf will counter better

[cedar lance]

Hey

alr

[green moss]

I want to make console command that automatically manage my factories and resources whenever I'm larping as an AI leader. Non-ironman, of course, that would be cheating

[willow plume]

what kind of chem?

[cobalt star]

So, what's the point of playing Austria? You have crippling national spirits, barely any researched tech, can't produce anything, have no resources, have Germany breathing down your neck and most of your starting focuses are 70 days rather than 35.

[cedar lance]

i want to make new console commands for MANPOWER in hoi4 sp basically you enter a number like for example: a number like 100 and then a letter like k or mil

[willow plume]

lots of mountains?

[cedar lance]

k letter gives thousands while mil millions

[green moss]

manpower (100 * 10³ (for k), 100 * 10⁶ (for m))

you do the formula yourself

[cedar lance]

alr

im tired of having to remember how many zeroes are in 100 mil

[green moss]

just add zeros while counting to six

[trim pike]

Organic, equilibrium and acids

[green moss]

and then two additional zeros

for 100 mil

[cedar lance]

alr

id be better if i make my own new CCs

[green moss]

you can

[cedar lance]

really? i didnt know that

thx

Though manpower you can just do with toolpack

[green moss]

like this one (it's not working code)

[cedar lance]

alr

thx

[cedar lance]

alr

[willow plume]

sounds interesting

organic chemistry is literally everywhere

[craggy trail]

Well hopefully I can figure something out tomorrow

[cedar lance]

i will add those NEW Console commands in the future

[green moss]

gl

[cedar lance]

thx rev

[green moss]

I'm tired of managing factories and resources all by myself whenever I'm playing non-ironman

so I'll just one day add command that does it automatically

[cedar lance]

alr

atleast i now know i can now make my own HOI4 CCs

first ill make the 2 main MP CCs

like: 100k and 100 mil

[hollow pulsar]

Saar Offensive??

[green moss]

maybe try something like "d_mp2" with tags (the only acceptable ones are 'k' and 'm', each is converted into their designated numbers)

in the game the command will be mp2 [tags]

such as mp2 100 k, mp2 52 m

[cedar lance]

alr

good idea

[clear dagger]

how many times do i have to deny the polish king candidates before getting the secret path?

[cedar lance]

@green moss thx for the GOOD ideas

ill also add 2 other CCs like:
insant production aka IP
and instant build aka IB

[clear dagger]

nvm finally got it after denying each king like 3 times

[hollow pulsar]

three times

gottem

finally together

[median jackal]

how can I make a negitionated peace as an attacker?

[rustic furnace]

You need to capitulate all major nations in the war

[proud dagger]

[hollow pulsar]

Reconnected!!! The Czech Legion returns home!!!

[trim pike]

Alr exists tho…

[cedar lance]

yes ik now

sorry mb

[fallen vigil]

Endsieg!

Totalen Krieg!! Totalen Krieg!!

[small bay]

why is it so difficult to figure out how to do a naval invasion

[scenic moon]

Its ez

[small bay]

ive watched plenty of videos and they just have different results

either they do some random keybind i dont know

or some foolery

[gloomy charm]

The last allied land in africa, no port🔥🔥

[scenic moon]

Select units, click naval inv order, right click port, left click to invasion goal

[heavy vigil]

Left click port right click destination enter

[drifting kiln]

is this a mod

[hollow pulsar]

I believe so if it isn't in Gotterdammerung

[drifting kiln]

also dam how did u kill them in 1941 thats crazy

[drifting kiln]

wdym its your game u should know what mods u have..

[hollow pulsar]

well.. hm..

not like I can pull up the mod list mid-game lol

I've got some QOL mods, Sheep AI

[drifting kiln]

so how are u killing them by 1941?

did u declare in 1936?

[hollow pulsar]

I think the Endsieg mechanic is either under Conditional Surrender or maybe Reichskomissariats Plus

[naive wraith]

I can't find the right new dawn mod every single one is for another version

[hollow pulsar]

Nope they declared on me in 1938, I held out until 1939 when Germany declared on the Netherlands and the wars merged

[hollow pulsar]

lots of decent fighters, sacrificing my economy for guns on the international market, and max Sudetenland forts

[drifting kiln]

idk still kinda crazy even playing as the soviets with normal ai i cant kill them until 1943

although they only attack u in 1941 so

[hollow pulsar]

I don't have mods that make the game necessarily easier (the AI has access to any benefits too) but I also have a division cap mod which is working heavily against me

owwie

[hollow pulsar]

well the Soviets have tons more debuffs than the Czechs to be fair

[scenic moon]

Is this like land force limit in eu4

[drifting kiln]

oh i thought u were playing as france

[hollow pulsar]

Czechoslovakia is in the perfect position to deny Germany conquests to steamroll everyone else and also is in an amazing terrain position with the hills in the Sudetenland

[drifting kiln]

yeah but it equals out with czech small industry and manpower pool

in comparison to russia anyway

[hollow pulsar]

you can cuck Nazi Germany every single time by playing Czechoslovakia because it's so necessary for them to grow in power

[dry kayak]

guys if you are playing italy or any other fascist faction not in the axis, dont waste political power in coups, the fascist coup faction will join automatically the axis

[hollow pulsar]

yus I get so many debuffs,,, but I need these divs

[drifting kiln]

adolf cuckler ❤️

[ripe slate]

Hey Shion

Also hello chat

[paper kiln]

historical game btw

[hollow pulsar]

Hallo!

it is 2:14 am

[ripe slate]

If you went ahistorical Germany, people will stop going historical

[ripe slate]

Go eep

[drifting kiln]

germany going nonhistroical screws up alot of stuff in some of my games they go commie

[paper kiln]

oh didn't know that

[hollow pulsar]

nyet

[paper kiln]

thanks

[ripe slate]

Yeh Germany going ahist cancels most country's historical setting

[hollow pulsar]

it's a game mechanic meant to be in response to your actions as the main character basically

it's a counterbalance to your actions

[ripe slate]

Germany for some reason cancels historical when Sweden goes communist

[dry kayak]

ahistorical Reich 99% of the times is kinda unstoppable, and i noticed that if you grow with your faction the brit empire, even the not facist version, will join the axis

[hollow pulsar]

sweden is the true main character of HOI4

[drifting kiln]

nah germany histroical is better imo

maybe it was a mod or something i was playing but last time i did monarchist civil war its actually like hard to do without serious micro

[dry kayak]

in my games everytime we split the world in 2

[drifting kiln]

we?

there is no we

[dry kayak]

ahahah

my faction split the world with his, but they have always better allies

[ripe slate]

AI was improved in both No Step Back and I think also Graveyard of Empires

it makes some wars more difficult

[woeful sail]

Why the hell pepole randomly ban from multiplayer?

[atomic grove]

what did u do

[dry kayak]

and moreover if they have the southeast asia they will dominate the rubber trading and you can't keep up with the plane production

[atomic grove]

german civil war is easy

[drifting kiln]

as im saying idk because i had some mods installed

[atomic grove]

just push into the czech border to encircle bavaria

[drifting kiln]

also if u have rt56 u cant say that because it makes it 10x easier

[atomic grove]

what mods

[drifting kiln]

gdr and a few others

[atomic grove]

i honestly only played rt56 once

[atomic grove]

whats gdr

[drifting kiln]

its a good mod but the ai is just so bad there its not really playable

[atomic grove]

ohhh

[drifting kiln]

germany like in 60% of my games cant kill benelux in historical

[drifting kiln]

goats revamp mod

i think it makes some countries harder/buffed but im not sure because i havent played pure vanilla in a while

[atomic grove]

yeah i found out

idk a lot of hoi4 abbreviations

[ripe slate]

[drifting kiln]

got sumthing to say huh ?

say it then mate

[ripe slate]

I think thats false

[misty fossil]

you can use that c word??

WHAT

[ripe slate]

The civil war is literally the same afaik

[hollow pulsar]

Try saying it, I will check the automod. You will not be punished.

[misty fossil]

i wont test my fate

[drifting kiln]

well ai in rt56 is bad but last time i tried playing german reich in the civil war in rt56 they have no tanks whihc they usually have 1-2 divs and they have less equipment and divs

[hollow pulsar]

Sheeps mod!!

I haven't noticed a difference in the AI yet

I mean

[drifting kiln]

are thye compnatible?

[hollow pulsar]

does it really change the AI?

[drifting kiln]

sheep mod?

[hollow pulsar]

I think Sheeps mod is mostly compatible with other mods if they don't change AI behavior

[drifting kiln]

or rt56?

[heavy vigil]

No

[hollow pulsar]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3265939166&searchtext=sheeps

[heavy vigil]

Its not compatible if you want ai to perform well/better

[drifting kiln]

why is everyone a mod here im like the only non mod -_-

they just letting any1 be mods

[hollow pulsar]

don't tell me this mod's AI is actually worse

[heavy vigil]

Its just not compatible

[frail bolt]

What is poland even doing

[hollow pulsar]

with?

[heavy vigil]

If you combine it with other mods it probably doesnt override it/changes less

So say you have a div limiter mod it wont adjust

Cant adjust for focus tree changes

Etc etc

Like it will run but not be strong

[hollow pulsar]

:o

[heavy vigil]

Just because it runs doesnt mean its compatible

[drifting kiln]

why did u give hungary burgerland

[hollow pulsar]

thank you

[drifting kiln]

they should be called fed

[ripe slate]

Not true, you have to be able to read and write-
Uhm, that's it

Nah jk

Yuh naval supermacy

[small bay]

yea i still dont know how to do that after watching a video

[drifting kiln]

its not that hard bro..

just build a navy

[small bay]

its easy for you to say your experienced

[drifting kiln]

naval supremacy = having supremacy in the navy department

[drifting kiln]

who are u playing as

country is the only thing that matters for navy

[small bay]

germany rn cuz i wanna take uk

overall just learn naval invading

[drifting kiln]

ur not gonna do that as a noob trust me big guy

just play argetina or something until u learn the game

[small bay]

im not a complete noob ik how to play the game i just dont know how to naval invade

[hollow pulsar]

Please be nice and constructive in your advice

[drifting kiln]

idk naval invading is like one of the important things in the game

[small bay]

thats why i wanna learn it

[drifting kiln]

ok what part do u want to learn

[drifting kiln]

yea im just saying your still kinda a noob if you dont know how to do it

nufink wrong with that tho

[small bay]

all of the things that are mandatory to naval invade

cuz i just cant escape europe or asia

or any other island in europe

[drifting kiln]

well i mean if u wanna invade uk your gonna have to do it asap so probably 1941 at latest

before you invade ussr

[small bay]

ye i been there

[drifting kiln]

u should also help italy to occupy alot of allied troops

and u just build a navy and airforce theres not much else to do

and good marines that important

[small bay]

and then u just do the

uhh

the thing where u wanna

[drifting kiln]

the uhh what??????

[small bay]

invade

[drifting kiln]

??????/

[small bay]

like

[drifting kiln]

yeah the command in the officer tab thingy

[small bay]

u take the guy u right click ur port and left click

the country

[drifting kiln]

idk whats its called exactly

[drifting kiln]

yeah and make sure u take a port and spread your divs to atleast 3 tiles

optimal place for uk and around dover and that port next to it

u should invade with like 20 divs so research craft 2

[small bay]

so u just set up a navy u get superiority and u strike

[drifting kiln]

yeah basically its not hard to do as germany

just do it before usa joins and make sure u have a large enough airforce

and u will have to build extra dockyards probably 10-15 and do a few navy focuses

and for me anyway just use the default ships with abit of naval buff research

[paper echo]

wow uk did decolonization and india did not become free because i became the raj tag

really bro?

this game man
