hoi4-general

[safe wing]

For an hour

[slim nexus]

What server

Small or big

[safe wing]

Big and it fell under no politics rule

Even if it I just said that Japan surrendered

[slim nexus]

I expected it to be a small server where its practically a digital dictatorship

[sudden grotto]

Better than me wanting a 4tb ssd...

Its 300ish

Lovely

[slim nexus]

Why

[tepid crown]

Probably what I’ll do next time

[sudden grotto]

...

[tepid crown]

A good SSD

[slim nexus]

4 tbs is a bit excessive

[sudden grotto]

Some things are Better to let them be secrets

[slim nexus]

Oh fair enough

[safe wing]

What year did you start playing hoi4 btw just curious

I started in 2019

[slim nexus]

Like 2023

Very late

Ive degenerated in this game over those 2 years tho

[safe wing]

April 2019

[meager valley]

Degenerated?

[safe wing]

Didn’t get my first dlc until December 2019 which was all 4 of them

All of which are intergrated now

[slim nexus]

Are you trying to like grammar check me

[meager valley]

No, I’m asking what do you mean by that

[slim nexus]

I got all the dlcs at the same time through cd keys

[visual vigil]

i just bought COD WW2 and it’s fantastic!!

[meager valley]

Seems an odd word to use for the context

[slim nexus]

I was trying to imply that i have no lifed this game

[safe wing]

Call of duty world at war is better

[slim nexus]

It probably was

[meager valley]

How many hours you got

[sudden grotto]

Tbh, id you think about It, with all the games you might install...

[visual vigil]

nahh

[slim nexus]

1k

[meager valley]

<@&846894118219022336>

[tepid crown]

More than I should

[slim nexus]

Most of which are multiplayer

[meager valley]

Rookie numbas

[slim nexus]

I know

[safe wing]

I did have a life but it came crashing down thanks to covid

[sudden grotto]

You Just install all your steam librabry lol and forget that you even have them

[heavy vigil]

No modern politics.

[safe wing]

Which hit my state in march 2020

[meager valley]

But 1k in 2 years is a lot ig

[meager valley]

Thx Casey

[safe wing]

I almost rage quitted hoi4

[slim nexus]

I have a tb and its fine, even with big games like msfs

[safe wing]

Because I sucked at it

[soft tendon]

no satire allowed 💔
fun police

[slim nexus]

I just had a month break on hoi4 im washed now

[safe wing]

Until I won my first game as Italy

[heavy vigil]

Literally i have to be fun police

[slim nexus]

Why would you ever volunteer to be a mod for this server

Or any

[heavy vigil]

cuz im annoyed by those scam accounts

[slim nexus]

I understand if youre being paid or given some sort of payment

[sudden grotto]

Wt with ultra graphics 100+ gb

[safe wing]

I was a mod for a small server but i resigned because of how much of a chore it was

[heavy vigil]

I dont actually wanna punish anyone besides the scam accounts

[meager valley]

Honestly just don’t want to see Tramp in my escapism game. Idc in mods but no need for it on here

[slim nexus]

Literally

[safe wing]

Also it was summer and I like to walk outside

[sudden grotto]

Merciful today aint we 🔥

[heavy vigil]

So i do my best to let you guys get off with stuff, just dont push it man

[safe wing]

Which I do 9/12 months of the year

[slim nexus]

Which season do you not walk outside in

[flat gazelle]

australia naval invading socialist norway in 1938

avg non historical game

[urban ivy]

summer

[safe wing]

Winter because we get a ton of snow

[urban ivy]

rookie question

[slim nexus]

I feel like every season has a reason to walk outside

[tepid crown]

I hate seeing political stuff anywhere. It’s very tiring

[safe wing]

I do occasionally in winter

[slim nexus]

Isnt that a good thing

[urban ivy]

it s 2025

everybody has access to internet

[flat gazelle]

jesus

[safe wing]

When your a kid or a skier yes

[urban ivy]

and chatgpt

[flat gazelle]

i hate the ai

[slim nexus]

Wrong server then

[flat gazelle]

3 norways

[safe wing]

But when your an adult and have to shovel a meter of snow off the driveway no

[slim nexus]

Ive always liked snow and cold cause its quite rare where i live

[tepid crown]

Sorry, modern American politics

[sudden grotto]

I can fix her type shit

[safe wing]

I don’t like it because of how much we get

[slim nexus]

Canada?

[safe wing]

Close

Vermont

[flat gazelle]

also idk how but fascist italy is in the allies

[slim nexus]

North USA or alaska

But alaska is a desert

[safe wing]

Stresa front

[urban ivy]

happens when they cant align with germany

[sudden grotto]

Siberia 2.0

Alaska truly Just american siberia

[slim nexus]

Just a big bit smaller

[urban ivy]

except it has gold

[flat gazelle]

also they still didnt flip

[urban ivy]

a shit ton of gold

[sudden grotto]

HMMMMM

[urban ivy]

civil war incoming

[safe wing]

Siberia has a shit ton of oil which is black gold

[urban ivy]

oil didnt mean shit for centuries

it will get replaced shortly

[flat gazelle]

great peace deal from the allies

[tepid crown]

Nuclear fusion here we come

[urban ivy]

[safe wing]

My phone would explode

[tepid crown]

[safe wing]

Rome owned Antwerp so

[tacit onyx]

My phone wouldn’t

[tacit onyx]

What time

[tepid crown]

Midnight. Be ready

[safe wing]

Ando Verpia

[meager valley]

3 am EST

[safe wing]

Was the Roman name for what is now Antwerp

[tacit onyx]

So 12am CST?

[meager valley]

I just made it up, no idea

No one knows

[tacit onyx]

I am too

😞

[safe wing]

Should I make a mod that when you reform Rome you change all the names of the cities back to their roman names?

[sudden thistle]

And I got hoi4 in 2023 💔

[meager valley]

Make a mod where monuments switch to whoever has cores on it and owns it

[meager valley]

New player 😳

[sudden thistle]

Ok unc

[safe wing]

Thats me

[tacit onyx]

Make a mod where the games language changes to Latin as soon as you form the empire

[meager valley]

I am an uncle believe it or naw

[sudden thistle]

Unc^2

[tepid crown]

I’ve been an unc since 2006

[safe wing]

I meant like the names in the countries native tongues like we saw with Italy and Germany

[tacit onyx]

B.C?

[meager valley]

Feels weird

[tepid crown]

Yes

[tacit onyx]

“Mate claimed the holy land before the Jews did by calling dibs” ahh old

[flat gazelle]

this is the second time

[tepid crown]

I’ll make it the land of the map gamers

[sudden grotto]

Churchill smoking cigars with tons of weed in it

[meager valley]

They love dem meatballs

[flat gazelle]

nah its not even him

chamberlain decided to stand on business

[meager valley]

Watch the trailer tomorrow be like Pearl Harbor or something

[sudden grotto]

Time travelers moves a parlamient chair
The change:

[flat gazelle]

mexico decided to ruin my run smh

[sudden grotto]

Why they Always go for that lol

They have a thing for that shit

[flat gazelle]

no clue

it never works

[safe wing]

Churchill or Halifax when Sweden has 1% communism or fascism

Or Chamberlain

[meager valley]

Mexico has to not do that every non historical game

[flat gazelle]

non historical ai fix dlc soon

only for 150$

[meager valley]

Maybe

It’ll fix factions but not trees like Mexico

[flat gazelle]

non historical is pretty much unplayable ngl

[meager valley]

Mexico will still spam declare on USA or USA will get mad at oil nationalization

[meager valley]

It’s how I play most games 😭

[flat gazelle]

tbf 95% of my games are achievement runs

so maybe tahts why i hate it

too unpredictable

[hazy dew]

Шукаю тімейта в хойку, з модом Earth Shadowdawn, українця

[scenic moon]

Price of new dlc?

[scenic moon]

What is this supposed to mean

[meager valley]

I like the unpredictable nature ig

Next dlc will make it fun again

[hazy dew]

Translate that message into a translator, I'm Ukrainian, I'm not comfortable writing in English

[meager valley]

I’d guess $25 for DLC or $40 for Expansion

[scenic moon]

💀

[meager valley]

That’s what GDR and its expansion was

[hazy dew]

I'm looking for a teammate in Hearts of Iron 4, with mods for russia vs. Ukraine

[meager valley]

He wants a teammate to play a mod with

[scenic moon]

Oh.

[steel flicker]

i like to mix gold with platinum

[sudden grotto]

Where da titanium sauce?

[devout trench]

too expensive

but whenever i got it i use it

[patent thistle]

i barely have to do shit and the soviet defense is already crumbling-

[fallow grove]

Is worth it to invade Switzerland as Hitler?

[safe wing]

Do you get cores on Switzerland

[fallow grove]

No

As far as i know

You can only core Austria and Sudetenland

[sudden grotto]

For larp only?

You get good economic buffs if you ally them

With the opposite of the tannenbaum focus

[fallow grove]

What is the buff

Didn’t check it

[sudden grotto]

Something about production base, cap and consumer goods

[flat gazelle]

historical btw

[honest vale]

How do i debug nukes? The commands arent working

[safe wing]

Happens 50% of the time I play imperial Germany

[flat gazelle]

yeah i just now figured out why that is

[safe wing]

The other 50% Poland cedes land

[somber sail]

Rework Yugoslavia Paradox plss xddddd

[flat gazelle]

for soem reason they do the focus to partition poland with ussr

[safe wing]

Probably because they want Vilnius back

[sudden grotto]

What da Slovenia doin

[flat gazelle]

now im blessed with this

[sudden grotto]

Why macedonia Is the whole Macedonia but Albania no epirus

[safe wing]

Shrek is love shrek is life

Amen

[gilded vessel]

[flat gazelle]

[somber sail]

Whole Epirus?

[meager valley]

Me tryna find allies in Singleplayer

[meager valley]

“The allies have kicked you out”

[flat gazelle]

[pure cape]

you dont have enough aluminium

[craggy dove]

[somber sail]

I dunno, Tito dont like Albania for sone reason (it were big reasons)

[craggy dove]

[pure cape]

[sudden grotto]

Duce duce duce

[sudden grotto]

Integrated them*

[pure cape]

oh damn i though he took them cuz he like hated em 😭

[sudden grotto]

Why would he lol

[pure cape]

bcuz they are albanians

[sudden grotto]

Albania Always had good relations with italy

We even got a sicilian-albanian dialect

Crazy mix

[pure cape]

fr

what do yall listen to while playing hoi

[sudden grotto]

Depends

[pure cape]

on what

[sudden grotto]

On the level of chillness

[pure cape]

full on scale war, combined arms no time for peace

[sudden grotto]

If larp, normal war songs
Id chill, prob ado or sum japanese shit

[pure cape]

tensions like over the limit

[sudden grotto]

Careless, normal hits

[pure cape]

lowkey try sabaton

[sudden grotto]

Its in my war songs

[pure cape]

which songs

[somber sail]

Mick gordon while i play Bulgaria

Dubstep on Austria

Finish anthem on Finland

[pure cape]

play Njet Molotoff as finland

trust me

[sudden grotto]

Panzerkampf, Bismarck, primo victoria, fields of verdun

That type of shit

[somber sail]

War thunder 2.0 ost

[pure cape]

if u like them try

or carolus rex 100%

[sudden grotto]

Panzer battalion too

Ghost division

[pure cape]

try wehrmacht

[sudden grotto]

Some doesnt feel good enough so i dont add them

[pure cape]

fair

i have a playlist consiting of only sabaton

[mellow jetty]

i play Levvan Polka

or sakkijärven polka

[pure cape]

hell yeah

[patent thistle]

you can get cores i am pretty sure later on through the focustree

[sudden grotto]

Thats a miku Song fr fr

[pure cape]

i also play "White Death" or "Travisota" by sabaton not in finnish but still abt finland

[mellow jetty]

the original is nice as well

from 1996

[sudden grotto]

Uraalin miss

[safe wing]

Depends who I play as when I play music

[pure cape]

the glorious soviet onion

[patent thistle]

yeah. expected

[safe wing]

Example I play Imperial Eagle by Desert when I play as the White exiles

I play red alert 2 music when playing the ussr

[sudden grotto]

This Two too

[pure cape]

"The Red Army is The Strongest"

on top

[somber sail]

And I really want to know which DLC would be first: Little Entente rework or South America 2.0?

[mellow jetty]

This is fantastic

[somber sail]

I want endsieg as Ecuador

[pure cape]

HAEH

Ecuador?!

why

[fallow grove]

Little entente because sa is newer

[safe wing]

Little entente should be packaged with France

[fallow grove]

But im hopping for a us and British rework tbh 😹

[pure cape]

USA got a weak tree ngl

i though it would be better

[fallow grove]

I just hope if they ever rework us don’t make it like the Soviet focus where they cripple you for the first 2 years of the game

[safe wing]

They will though

Given what the USA was going through

[fallow grove]

They can keep the new deal and fdr but not make it as harsh as they did if u keep Stalin

[slim nexus]

If they dont do that then the usa will just become too powerful

Especialyl for their fascist path

[pure cape]

they need to add an alt focus tree or smth where u can like create NAU

[safe wing]

Honestly USA, UK and France should be packaged together like the 3rd to last eu4 dlc

Which covered all the majors

[fallow grove]

Then just make fascist path lead to civil war

[slim nexus]

Even if it was like that

[fallow grove]

Without elections possibility to flip

[slim nexus]

Imagine its like the german civil war

You could flip after a 70 day focus

[sudden grotto]

The rock version Is Just Heaven

[slim nexus]

Then you just speedrun world conquest

[safe wing]

No that won’t happen

[pure cape]

i prefer original

[fallow grove]

Make it like Russian war

[slim nexus]

Russian civil war is beatable before 1937

[safe wing]

It takes till 1939 to go fascist as the USA

[fallow grove]

It takes a while for it to happen

Is not instant like Germany

[slim nexus]

??

Not rlly

[safe wing]

But for the love of god why is Alf Landon the man who backs the fascists

[slim nexus]

Its quicker than a year

[patent thistle]

should i what remains of russia split up between other puppets in siberia?

[safe wing]

The civil war itself yes

[fierce mist]

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

[safe wing]

But it requires a ton of focus to start it

[mint adder]

Inspiring words

[safe wing]

Plus you got wait till November 1936 to get the republicans

[slim nexus]

The entire civil war can be done within a year

[patent thistle]

.

[slim nexus]

For soviets

[fallow grove]

A nice idea would be to make the us just lose political power and factories with the Great Depression like it is right now

[safe wing]

Did it in less

[fallow grove]

And add focuses that improve the us army

[safe wing]

US army should be very weak

[fallow grove]

Like deutchess heer

Kinda

[safe wing]

Given how our army budget was almost non existent in 1936

[fallow grove]

In 1941 we were tripling German budget

[safe wing]

Soldier quality wise our army was inadequate

[patent thistle]

.

[safe wing]

USA didn’t fight any major ground battles until 1942

Guadalcanal and Torch

[patent thistle]

correction: the US didnt win any major ground battles until 1942

[fallow grove]

Yeah so

What i mean is there should be focuses to skyrocket mills

[patent thistle]

they did fight on ground battles earlier (phillipines mostly) but didnt win any until midway

[fallow grove]

Like irl

[safe wing]

We won Wake island the first time but that was a minor one

[patent thistle]

you then proceeded to lose it when it was important:

[safe wing]

Should be an event for MacArthur to when Macarthur was recalled from the Philippines

[fallow grove]

Literally we fought 2 front war

[patent thistle]

now i kinda wanna do japan and kick the americans in the butt

[fallow grove]

Against Japan and Germany

[broken sky]

I mean, to be fair, the US already has an insane amount of starting civs. Just that it is locked behind the consumer goods Great Depression debuffs

[safe wing]

Where you can either have him remain or recall him

[patent thistle]

it would honestly be mercy if i done that

a fate like this might be worse then death-

[fallow grove]

But when you get rid of Great Depression and isolation you need to build your mills and wait for the productoion efficiency to build up which happens by 1943💔

Or even later

Depending what you make

[broken sky]

Arsenal of Democracy takes time to build up, babeh

[safe wing]

Great Depression should give -90% mill construction speed IMO

[fallow grove]

No

[broken sky]

US already has mil cons debuff

[patent thistle]

make it -50 and its a bit more realistic

[broken sky]

No need to stack more, geez

[fallow grove]

Should give mill debuff but no civ debuff

[fossil dragon]

Geting real close to 100% just 32 more

[broken sky]

And besides, the US mostly just refitted their existing factories to create their old miltaro-industrial complex

They should give it civ-mill conversion buff tbh

👆

[patent thistle]

have you lost your sanity yet or is it still holding?

[broken sky]

amazing

[fossil dragon]

No I lost it long ago

[fallow grove]

The us should have focuses to get military national spirits

Department of defense is ass

[broken sky]

Too OP

Allies already have superior production

[fallow grove]

Germany has them

[twilit juniper]

what time discount coming? Im waiting more than 2 week

[broken sky]

Germany has buffs because it needs to be given a chance

Literally

[fallow grove]

Japan will have them

[lethal ether]

because germany is industrially inferior

manpower-wise too

[fallow grove]

Meme bills 💔

[broken sky]

Imagine this:

Soviets have the Five-Year Plans

America has a huge starting industry

Britain has a HFG and good industry/puppets

And France... uhh...

Yeah.

There's France

[pure cape]

aint nuked

[heavy vigil]

Manchukuo also has five year plans

[twilit juniper]

🧐

[fallow grove]

France has nothing

[heavy vigil]

They have some of the best tanks in the game

With good starting tech for them

[broken sky]

I mean their heavies r ok

Buuuut compared to most of the Allied powers errrrr

[heavy vigil]

They have howitzer from day 1

In singleplayer its easy

In mp you have uk air

Youre not weak

[fallow grove]

You know Germany by 1940 has the same civs as the us and like 250 mills just by seizing other countries?

[patent thistle]

.

[fallow grove]

So how is the us superior?

[broken sky]

Usually in MP they make me do France surrender

[heavy vigil]

Sucks to be you

[fossil dragon]

In singleplayer it's easy until you play ethiopia or chile

[twilit juniper]

I learned game with crack hoi4 but my friends waiting me for mp I need a discount to buy hoi4

[safe wing]

Why play historical mp

[broken sky]

Ethiopia is actually okay

[safe wing]

It just feels repetitive

[patent thistle]

i need an answer-

[broken sky]

Sultanate is the more suffering nation to play as

[fallow grove]

Plus if done correctly Germany can even be in total krieg before seizing Poland

[heavy vigil]

Those suck but bolivia is worse fr

[fallow grove]

Which makes them get insane buffs

[heavy vigil]

Actually ethiopia is fun

I like it

[fossil dragon]

Bro 14 factorys in 1940💀

[broken sky]

But Ethiopia gameplay is boring af after defense, tho

Just like Spain

[patent thistle]

early game? yes, late game? hell no

[broken sky]

The only fun there is is the micro

[merry harness]

Hi

[broken sky]

Otherwise its an ehhhhh

[heavy vigil]

Better than switzerland

[twilit juniper]

turkey is fun

[broken sky]

Whaaaa

[fallow grove]

[broken sky]

Switzerland is good

[broken sky]

Grees

Megali idea

[merry harness]

What you talking about with the mod?

[fallow grove]

Also the us intervention in america decisions are bugged or not even work

[twilit juniper]

You are doing misak-ı milli with only country tree

[fallow grove]

Seizing Cuba does not even work

Most of the time

[merry harness]

Ngl switzerland late game is strong

[patent thistle]

atleast the alphine protectorate focustree is somewhat strong

[broken sky]

Vanilla

Switzerland has strong militia buffs

+Terrain buffs ig

[merry harness]

1944,no d-day and i fought against switzerland (as germany) and they destroyed my south

[merry harness]

...

Discord mod

[twilit juniper]

and easyly you can get more than 500 plane and minimum 10+ tank unit

[heavy vigil]

Its not fun

[broken sky]

OH

lol

[fallow grove]

Imagine being the us in 1940 when you get your stuff ready in hist just to see Germany has the same civs as you and 250+ military factories plus their army buffs

[sudden thistle]

Noob

[heavy vigil]

Its better but less fun

[broken sky]

mb

[merry harness]

Nah they just good 🙏

[patent thistle]

it is when the AI tries to deny your expansion and you murder them early = )

[broken sky]

Switzerland manpower is suffering cuz u have to progress more in the trees to get okay troops

[twilit juniper]

hey dc moderator what time is discount?

[heavy vigil]

Idk look at steam trends

[merry harness]

75% of my troops were in finland and romania fighting the ussr

[heavy vigil]

Its always the same time

[merry harness]

So a discord mod and hoi4 Player? 🤔

[twilit juniper]

I look it ww1 games at discount

[safe wing]

Not always

[heavy vigil]

You got me there

[safe wing]

They were a helped before not that long ago

Yo WHAT

[safe wing]

Why this piece of filith

He is bottom of the barrel

[heavy vigil]

Idk i just help people in #ask-for-help-here

[fallow grove]

As the us you start in even a worst position than the soviets
The soviets can just invade the Turks and get romania for free and even some other country
The us is democratic they just sit there and wait

[heavy vigil]

And then sometimes have to come in as fun police

Because im like obligated to

(no random ass russian strip going deep into siberia anymore)

[merry harness]

Nah it's Not real, just mostly hoi4 players are femboys, fat people or randoms and when they are mod most People think of that (i have bad Experience with discord mods) 😔

[patent thistle]

still better then a long ass russian strip going till almost the far eastern border

[fallow grove]

The uk also starts in ruins

France is another whole level

[mint adder]

Why does paradox hate yellow bruh

[safe wing]

I have had mixed experiences with discord mods

[fallow grove]

Allies are just bad

[mint adder]

Firstly congo then china

[heavy vigil]

dw i am like as hesitant as i can legally be when it comes to punishments

[fallow grove]

And they should be better

[heavy vigil]

Just like dont be a nuisance

[safe wing]

KMT China being Blue is better

[heavy vigil]

Please

[lethal ether]

arent you a hoi4 player too

otherwise why are you here

[merry harness]

🤔🤔🤔

[merry harness]

Bc im a germany Division

Im angetreten

[fallow grove]

So my question is will devs ever adress the starting disparity between allies and axis or comintern

[merry harness]

Thank you paradox for creating me 🙏

[mint adder]

Wym

[fallow grove]

Germany starts in steroids

[safe wing]

No because thats a canon historical event

[fallow grove]

The allies start weak as hell

[safe wing]

USA and USSR crushed Germany to dust

Oh

[broken sky]

That's... the purpose...

[fallow grove]

The Soviet is weak but they are free to invade and justify

[broken sky]

A strong Allies would crush the Axis

[mint adder]

Who was stronger economocally in ww2

[broken sky]

Bad Army debuffs start

[fallow grove]

Plus Soviet army is insanely big

[broken sky]

• Purges

[mint adder]

Germany or usa?

[fallow grove]

Insane big army does not even matter

[patent thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/heavy-tf2-smile-gif-11401179400597532886

[fossil dragon]

USSR has to be the strongest at the start

[mint adder]

Which of the 2 had an economic crisis during the 1930s

[fossil dragon]

not papa stalin

[fallow grove]

Then why not the us for the allies?

[patent thistle]

both

[broken sky]

Both

[mint adder]

Oh

Um

Lol

Anyway

[broken sky]

Though the US was hit even harder thh

[patent thistle]

the US had the wall street crash and the german economy collapsed because of that

[broken sky]

tbh*

[fossil dragon]

well navy is weak but on day 1 they have 120 divisions

[fallow grove]

Soviets start weak but what is realistically stopping them from attacking turkey or even going into Poland then into Germany?

[brittle cypress]

nothing

[patent thistle]

threats from the west

[fossil dragon]

there is a strat to cap USA as USSR in like mid 1937

[brittle cypress]

If you want to win asap as the Soviets literally just justify on Poland and then on Germany

[patent thistle]

they thought the west and germany were gonna team up to end them

[mint adder]

The allies consist of gigantic nations way more industry and resources compared to the axis just like irl

[broken sky]

Real

[fallow grove]

Demand Alaska then use it to go through canada into the us

[brittle cypress]

They have the strongest starting army

[mint adder]

Its simply balancing

[broken sky]

You can win in '38 tops

[mint adder]

For hoi4

[fossil dragon]

it's just one step foward achivment

[fallow grove]

But they start weak

[mint adder]

What if they start strong?

[heavy vigil]

Peacefully annexing china as prc lets you have an army that could fight the ussr

[mint adder]

How quick would ww2 end in hoi4?

[heavy vigil]

But yeah

[fallow grove]

They democratic they can’t do shit anyway

[brittle cypress]

France starts with a stronger army than Germany

[heavy vigil]

1943 max

[brittle cypress]

Uk has the strongest navy

[heavy vigil]

Cant wait until they make LaR free

[mint adder]

Its simply balancing

[heavy vigil]

Thats gonna be nice

[broken sky]

That's the purpose?

[fallow grove]

Again is democratic can’t do shit other than denying Rhineland

[mint adder]

Thank goodness that at least

[brittle cypress]

Ok and

What’s your point

[mint adder]

Industry sizes arent historical

[safe wing]

Axis and allies is like hoi4

[mint adder]

That would be even worse

[fallow grove]

Soviet can literally go into Poland then to Germany day one

[safe wing]

And its balancedish

[fallow grove]

Nothing stops them

[brittle cypress]

Ok and

[safe wing]

Yeah but that’s illegal in mp

[broken sky]

Yeah... if you're in singleplayer.

[heavy vigil]

France can insta cap italy lol

[safe wing]

And I never do that in sp

[fallow grove]

In mp works is just they insta ban you

[safe wing]

Because it kills the immersion

[mint adder]

I should play mexico more

[broken sky]

Real, and Italy can insta-cap France faster

[mint adder]

Its fun annexing central america

[brittle cypress]

How does France insta cap Italy

[patent thistle]

you gan guess what is coming next

[fallow grove]

Ok and how you get at war with them if u democratic

[kind vale]

How

[heavy vigil]

Flip ideology

[mint adder]

You wait 1940

[broken sky]

MP functions with a build-up, immersion system to replicate the scenarios of WWII in a close approximate basis

[mint adder]

Go down focuses

[kind vale]

Boring

[patent thistle]

.

[mint adder]

Let them build factories

Then you invade

[fallow grove]

Democratic nations should be able to guarantee at 0 world tension

[kind vale]

How about I just play as Germany and annex Austria in May of 1936

[mint adder]

Boring

[kind vale]

No they shouldn't

[kind vale]

Nah

[fallow grove]

They should

[kind vale]

Why?

Ruins the fun

[fallow grove]

So if a Soviet cheese they get at war with you

[patent thistle]

i use the shit fleet i stole from the entirety of europe and the 2 japanese ships for naval invasion support and my real ships to murder the british fleet

[mint adder]

Bro i dont want the uk guaranteeing half the americas in 1937

[fallow grove]

And at least it ruins their stability

[brittle cypress]

I always Anschluss mid 1936

Free industry

[patent thistle]

i suggest to not do that as it lets austria still do some industry focuses

[heavy vigil]

No

[brittle cypress]

Fake news because I produce way more than them

[fallow grove]

You can even do it right after reorganize the Wehrmacht if you make horses

[heavy vigil]

You wanna schluss well before spain

June

[fallow grove]

10 horses will be enough

[brittle cypress]

I do todt first and then I do that

Like 5th focus Anschluss

[heavy vigil]

Bohme my beloved

[broken sky]

Göring ate the party system

[spare mountain]

What do i do when my freind doesnt progress in time?

[brittle cypress]

I used to use von kluge and Von bock but bohme is just better

[fallow grove]

My Hitler gang is todt then Hess then himller

[heavy vigil]

Ive been saying this

For a while now

Hes so good

The rng of rolling attack is basically gone

[brittle cypress]

Todt hess speer and then uh goebells I think

[patent thistle]

you cant change my mind that this siberia looks atleast a little better then if i still had that small russian strip in it

[fallow grove]

Gobels sucks it just gives party popularity

[woven dragon]

Just a question about Austria, but why do they not get a dedicated Facist Path that could lead to Seyss-Inquart taking control just like in real life?

[brittle cypress]

he gives stability and all that too

Better than himmler

And todt is useless later in the game so you gotta replace him

[heavy vigil]

Video game

[patent thistle]

.

[broken sky]

Historians not making most of the game

[brittle cypress]

I don’t want a random Russian strip in there no

Border gore

[spare mountain]

Pls help me lads

[patent thistle]

thats why i removed it mostly i hate it

[fallow grove]

Himler gives non core manpower and less resistance which is great when you control all Europe

[heavy vigil]

Thats the FER

Not russia/ussr

[brittle cypress]

I don’t remember what it looks like honestly

[brittle cypress]

Uselessssss

[heavy vigil]

It gets a special puppet name 'siberian army' when its a japanese puppet

[fallow grove]

Siberian shogunate

[woven dragon]

Himmler leads to Steiner which leads to the greatest counterattack of all time

[gilded vessel]

shrek is love shrek is life shrek is reich

[fallow grove]

🥰

[spare mountain]

why is this happening please helppppp

[patent thistle]

?? thats just the tag of the far eastern republic-

[heavy vigil]

Yes

[brittle cypress]

Just run the game for a few days and see what happens idk man

[heavy vigil]

Typing it out is long

[woven dragon]

Restart the lobby IDK

[spare mountain]

I have restarted it 10 times brooo

[brittle cypress]

Why would fer have a random strip in the middle of there then

[heavy vigil]

Theyre the only releasable with cores there

[patent thistle]

can you explain to me tho why they just refuse to remove that russian strip in base game=

[heavy vigil]

Their total cores are a bit larger

[gilded vessel]

what is the problem?

[heavy vigil]

Because its probably gonna be used for japanese content

Again, make it a japanese puppet

[spare mountain]

bascially time progresses for me but he is stuck at 1 in 1st of jan i have no clue how to fix it

[heavy vigil]

Vladivostok too

Youll see

They have special cosmetic names

[gilded vessel]

he is probably lagging terribly

[patent thistle]

i am talking about the strip that goes along the trans siberian railway

[spare mountain]

He isnt he has good internet and low ping and lives close to me

[heavy vigil]

Because thats the trans siberian railway

Theres no minorities according to the video game there

[gilded vessel]

mods?, restart the lobby

[patent thistle]

that shit

[spare mountain]

no mods no dlcs lol

[gilded vessel]

its very unlikely to be a server issue so it must be a client issue

[woven dragon]

Maybe try closing the game ( both of you do this ) and give it about 10 minutes and try again

[patent thistle]

why do the most random ass countries in this game get cooler names them most of the majors-

[gilded vessel]

the equivalent of saying please try again later

[spare mountain]

we did this yesterday didnt work but then treid agian today and still doesnt work

[woven dragon]

Yup

[gilded vessel]

something must be wrong with his game files or performance/internet

[spare mountain]

Would could be the issues with his files

[woven dragon]

Bhutan’s Facist name is the Thunder Dragon Empire or something like that

[gilded vessel]

Would could?

[spare mountain]

What* sorry multi tasking here

[gilded vessel]

can he play singleplayer without issues?

[spare mountain]

Yes

[gilded vessel]

what about you?

[spare mountain]

Yea

[gilded vessel]

has he made any mods or modifications to his copy of hoi4?

[spare mountain]

No i am getting him to verify game files

I am doing the same

[sudden thistle]

Uninstall and reinstall the game?

[unkempt falcon]

Lol why did Paradox make Fascist Finland soooo good. Can pretty easily cap Germany by the end of 1939, and u get to core all of the nordic countries in 38 essentially peacefully and have like 100 factories basically soon as u do this.

I built forts along the soviet borders, and am about 2 months into the war with them, and have 2k casualties while they have 300k+ lmao

[sudden thistle]

This happened with one of my friends. The game just doesn’t work if we try to play together

[gilded vessel]

shrek is love shrek is life and shrek was reich

biggest encirclement in my hoi4 carreer

[paper echo]

are you playing the shrek reich mod?

[gilded vessel]

yes

[paper echo]

played it once

good mod ngl

[gilded vessel]

yeah

monarchist path is good

[paper echo]

i played the fascist one

[gilded vessel]

also i think you can annex the ussr in communist path

for free

[paper echo]

i like how it doesnt have anything generic

[gilded vessel]

the fascist path is longer

but you get less free annexations and cores

[paper echo]

the dev worked more into that than the group that made goe

[sudden grotto]

Cursed.

[sudden grotto]

Based rk move

[gilded vessel]

playing nonalligned shrek i conquered most of middle east + balkans

[static hare]

My friend told me to do this and before the DLC for Germany came up u could conquer most of Soviet Union thanks to that and get cores on Ukraine and Belarus.
Also after u get into Pro German pathway u get a cool Polish historical leader Roman Dmowski 😭 Which for some reason is considered facist even though he hated Germany and facism

[patent thistle]

I can though playing chinesse nations is boring as hell for me but sure 😭 fighting for supplies at all costs gameplay.

[gilded vessel]

or

and not boring

play sulnate of aussa

you can get many cores on africa

[static hare]

BRO 😭

[gilded vessel]

what bro?

[craggy trail]

Soviet 🧅

[static hare]

I mean like countries which actually can industralize and have manpower 😭

[gilded vessel]

assyria

its a fun nation to play

a releasable of iraq

[static hare]

Well that's better one but what pathway?

[gilded vessel]

i think its called assyria

or something close

Hey, dudes

[gilded vessel]

you can form the neo-assyrian empire

Never really touched this shit before, but does Demand Alaska ever work?

What is this second nation?

[static hare]

It actually once worked for me.

2 years ago.

And they agreed 😭

[craggy trail]

Sometimes it does

[zenith charm]

[gilded vessel]

Neo-Assyrian Empire is a formable nation representing one of the ancient empires that collapsed many centuries ago. However, assyrians still exist to this day and you can reclaim their glory via a decision. This is a formable exclusive to the nation of Flag of Assyria Assyria.

[patent thistle]

OH COME ON UK ATLEAST TRY

[gilded vessel]

for a sec i thought that was the albanian flag

[broken sky]

Alright, then

I'll try to stack positive opinion so that I can annex the US

[patent thistle]

at this point the UK is just suicidal

you know its bad when your sunk by a pre-dreadnought

Will the next DLC basically be the last?

There's nothing else to rework in a big scale

[south river]

is there a console command to add population to a country

[slim nexus]

Some balkans/eastern european countries need reworks and some south american countries could use a DLC

But after Japan I don't see nothing major

[fierce mist]

https://tenor.com/view/ronnie-coleman-yeah-buddy-light-weight-bodybuilder-gif-13490358335738779484

[slim nexus]

I can't wait for HOI5 tbh

[south river]

when will it release

[slim nexus]

We need a reworked system from the ground up

[south river]

just play rise of nations on roblox

[slim nexus]

Idk but the game's dev cycle seems to be done

[south river]

i see i see

[heavy vigil]

The US?

UK?

[slim nexus]

Japan and China were the last majors to need a rework

[heavy vigil]

France+

? *

[slim nexus]

LMAO

[heavy vigil]

Honestly wont happen

[slim nexus]

Dude US and UK got reworked in Man The Guns

[heavy vigil]

Hoi4 is profitable and rising in popularity

[slim nexus]

And France in La Resistance

[heavy vigil]

Which will be free after this next update

#hearts-of-iron-news

[slim nexus]

The countries that actually need DLCs are south american nations and eastern europe in general

The game is almost done

Man The Guns being free is kinda crazy considering it has the naval designer

Will Paradox make all the designers free?

[heavy vigil]

I mean if theyre gonna treat hoi4 like say stellaris yeah

Eventually theyll be free

[slim nexus]

Because it doesn't make sense for only the navy designer to be free

LMAO WHAAAAAAAAAT

VENEZUELA HAS A HIGHER RANKING IN RISE OF NATIONS THAN POLAND LMAO

[mild plaza]

Stellaris doesn't have any integrated dlcs afaik

[bronze mango]

Man the guns is being integrated

[heavy vigil]

I meant like

Long term development

Tho hoi4 is more "space" limited

[brittle cypress]

can't wait for the no step back integration

(never happening)

i mean it is genuinely the most important dlc

but it's also the most profitable

and the tank designer is never being changed

so yeah it's not happening

[patent thistle]

behold, whatever remained of the commonwealth fleet,

the 2 heavy cruisers were australian

[mild plaza]

Stellaris is way different. So you can't do the same thing with hoi

[heavy vigil]

I know

Its just the closest pdx example

[patent thistle]

from all i remember all the others are just economy simulators

[mild plaza]

Stellaris for example made robotic species available if you have either machine age or the or robot dlc. They didn't integrate it

[bronze mango]

• crusader kings I guess

[brittle cypress]

there's a reason hoi4 is the most popular game

by paradox

[mild plaza]

Because they didn't really need to. They did go back and rework the species packs and increase their price tho

[bronze mango]

Cause it's actually a game

[zinc light]

I have done it!!!

[patent thistle]

welcome to the sad excuse of a navy that was left

[zinc light]

germany just capped

[brittle cypress]

are there even any hoi4 competitors out there?

[zinc light]

now we turn to romania and italy

[patent thistle]

some roblox games can work, ig.

[brittle cypress]

roblox games arent games they're slop

[patent thistle]

RON mostly

[mild plaza]

Stellaris isn't all eco. Neither is ck.

[patent thistle]

that one fnaf 2 remake completly made in Roblox left the chat:

[bronze mango]

Rise of nations? Is that a hoi4 mod reference?!

[patent thistle]

nah a roblox game-

[mild plaza]

Not really. Mostly because pdx has their niche with strategy games. Its not really worth it to try and compete

[bronze mango]

I know its the slop modern day game, still better than md though

[patent thistle]

there are some great games on roblox, i aint saying roblox is good i am just saying there are some really good games under the roblox engine

[brittle cypress]

can't wait to go play child money stealer simulator 7 again in roblox

[mild plaza]

There's some good devs. But they'd be able to do much more with a better engine

[brittle cypress]

aka every single roblox game

[patent thistle]

again, not every.

[bronze mango]

Like I do remember playing some good games there for sure but roblox is indeed mostly slop

[desert pollen]

can someone explain this in hoi4 terms

[kind vale]

Rise of nations is the superior roblox game

[bronze mango]

Rise of nations is mid

[kind vale]

Better then the rest of whats on that app

😭

[dry kayak]

i was playing another run, the AI has infinite manpower, even when encircled, 0 manpower left, seas blocked for convoy refills at 100%, the enemy nation just spawn infinite ultra wide battalions fully armed

no f*** sense

[kind vale]

They got cheats

[patent thistle]

YEAH.

[bronze mango]

Weak industry

That is a lot of dockyards

[patent thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-avengers-infinity-war-im-sorry-little-one-gif-12454554

[dry kayak]

tf is that 1308 factories? lol

[dry kayak]

i also encircled 2 abandoned USA division in an african forest

they kept refill the supply and coordination lol

[kind vale]

The ai has so many units from cheating they forgot about some

[dry kayak]

so the "balance" in the game is: make better divisions and keep the supply till the AI infinite cheat division spawn ends 😂

[kind vale]

Nah just get a 36width medium tank divisions with like 500 breakthrough and 300 soft attack and you'll be good

[dry kayak]

that's crazy btw, i never notice that loop until some battles that i was following in micro

[mild plaza]

They don't. Unless you're using mods the AI is pretty easy to beat

[rose prawn]

I quit playing it

2 years ago

[bronze mango]

Same

[rose prawn]

they do

[bronze mango]

Haven't touched roblox in ages

[kind vale]

Yet I've been struggling till my most recent run with line arty mixed with infantry

[patent thistle]

the portugal part wasnt a war that was a straight up execution-

[brittle cypress]

Idk how people think the ai cheats when it’s this bad

You literally see ai Germany divisions out of strength from battleplanning for a month

[patent thistle]

same with spain but i couldnt show since they died too fast

[mild plaza]

Because line arty isn't good. It makes you lose way more manpower

[kind vale]

But it beat Poland and france🥲

[dry kayak]

enemy nation full blockade, encircled with 0 man power, bombed the supply and factories and keep spawning huge full refilled division how do you call it?

[patent thistle]

portugal, HOW.

[mild plaza]

Yea but once you're out of manpower you've lost

[rose prawn]

they tend to do illegal retreats, not using the same supply the player does, If you are attacking to their division, they somehow magically move them without any issues

or once you attack them,

[mild plaza]

You can use it fine at first but it'll drain your manpower way faster than a good tank division. Or even just standard infantry with cas spam

[rose prawn]

they somehow get divisions on the same defensive tile not getting affected by your attack

[kind vale]

Still got like 2mil mp just gotta take out the ussr then I'll stop using them cuz by then I'll be able to make more than 20 tanks a day

[brittle cypress]

they get local supply, they can't deploy divisons with zero manpower you're just wrong on that, strat bombing will never be able to remove every factory because of free repair and all that

[dry kayak]

they do

[mild plaza]

Thats 2 million with extensive conscription?

[dry kayak]

happened few moments ago

[brittle cypress]

ok so tag over to them and prove it

[dry kayak]

prolly

[brittle cypress]

they don't have zero manpower if they have divisions training

[dry kayak]

you can see it from the details table

[brittle cypress]

they may be out of manpower and moiblizing it straight into training divisions

[kind vale]

I think
