But wait, now you can play the DUTCH EAST INDIES in 2026!
buying states everywhere is kinda fun but thats genuinely all there is for east indies
give me the british malaya and burma dlc or i uninstall
and make it 50$
why buy them when you can just play as romania and steal them
also do a separate one for nepal tibet and bhutan
Bro
have you seen the
AUSTRALIA DLC
expansion pack
this will happen one day i hope you guys know that
Bro
Agreed, which is why I'm doubtful about getting the expansion pass this time around
i only know abt philliphines china and japan
we had country pack we had expansion.now we'll have something called focus pack
my game crashed when i tried to start an ireland game
have you guys even watched the Expansion Pass 2 video
I'm confident NCNS will be a good DLC like GD was, but country packs are often made by external devs
i wonder how much czechia dlc is gonna coast
no i did not 🤯
shocking
THERE WILL BE A AUSTRALIA + SIAM + DUTCH EAST INDIES (probably) DLC
GOE wasn't developed by the main team and you can tell.
The same thing happened with BfTB, which had a lot of problems - Bulgaria was the only tree out of the 3 that wasn't buggy
oh dude come on
i gotta go 1 whole year back because i decided to declare war on russia
should fix the dlcs that are already out first
and not announce 3 more
is there a paradox dev that can confirm whether or not the seaplane tender skins are for destroyers or cruisers? i saw something that said they're for destroyers
its the expansion pass
It's destroyers
But that doesnt make money
thats why i said announce
bro paradox needs to add a " (target country) is fully independent" prerequisite when you invite people to faction cuz why did austria steal my puppet bulgaria when it did central powers path on my romanian game
germany is just pissing me off
mexican ai is still suicidal
almost everytime they do historical
doing everything but making ahist playable
At this point
romania #1 
let us use the console commands on ironman
They have a 50/50 Chance so yeah, they do more historical than any other nation
stole all the land
Unless you set it manually
i hate that ngl
i want it to be random
oh you're actually playing them... im sorry
It is random as far as focuses go
It's just that all ahist paths are locked behind 1 Initial focus
oh wait ffs
also you cant even pick the focus manually cuz they have a battle plan at the start.if they wanna go historical and you pick civil war path then they wont do the other non hist focuses
i just realized
we need a balkan + Usa update
of course i did
i officially have -0.1 sanity
literally the single worst country in the game
cant wait to justify on every single african national manualy
Mentally stable hoi4 player
well i wanted to steal all the land
managed to do alexander empire kinda
chat am i cooked?
that was when i started playing
not im unstable
We should have a Eurasia formable
bro said romania is the worst country but he plays as ireland
you deserve the unstable title
play formables plus mod
it has it i think
Ive played it dw
just
like fascist
russia
should have one
how much pp should i be making with germany in 1940?
paradox should make a game rule to disable EVERY historical path
im playing rt56, id rather play regular generic tree ireland over romania too
enough
did a mod about it but the problem is that the ai picks a battle plan at the start so sometimes it doesnt work
me when i lie
how much is enough?
what could you possibly do as ireland
you are more unstable than me
occupy uk
uhhhh
and put brutal oppression
probably like, depending on difficulty, around 1.6-2.0 pp
romania literally has the worst tree in hoi4 period
no industry
no land
no core
no manpwoer
0.30
czechoslovakia exists
What am i doing wrong?
do you any dlcs
thats why you puppet hungary and steal all their troops 🤑
and your stupid leader takes your pp or consumer goods every single month
all of them
they never stop printing units
how 😭
its the inner circle
germany has an insane amount of pp
i think
Did you do the correct inner circle
yeah thats annoying
i think it goes away when you force abdication
well its 0.2 for every guy
how can you do that wrong?
didnt do hess...
i went for goeblers (whathever his name is) and the spy guy
alright my goal is to take over britian
its goebbels
here is hess as leader
its in rt56, yes, but its still fine.
its the exact same in vanilla.
he looks so depressed
ye
so i guess ill replace him for goebbels
he knows irl he got imprisoned by britain
early on
hes great
Goebbels is
bro i cant understand why the tile above belgrad belongs to croatia state
hoi4 balkan states need to be studied
to match the irl borders from the axis occupation of yugo ig
well, i did it early game but better late than never
doubt it
always do pp first
would probably do the same for berlin
(in most situations)
yugo was during ww2
it still doesnt make sense to me why it belongs to that state
i would probably either put it on serbia state or the other above
i mean i just told you why that is
probably the only small detail in borders they ever bothered to put in
and its these details that piss me off lol
also idk when they added this state
do yall think new dlc is gonna have schizo paths
yeah
i hope it does
no schizo paths = not a good dlc
guys recommend me dlcs pls
this entire game is schizo
easy game 😎
no step back
why does my game crash instantly when germany gets involved in a war???
others?
by blood alone
ireland 💪
i hate myself for being a completionist because i decided to go back to 100% achievements
götterdammerung maybe?
it might seem bad but plane designs are goated
and now im forced to play this game
also dont buy man the guns cuz it will be free anyways
arms against tyranny?
i had it before
only if you plan on playing nordic countries
finland is very fun in it tho
i play finland,turkiye,greece and usa
la resistance is also good on some cases
yeah but spain..
collab govs are sanity saver
spain sucks a bit
at least you can do collab gov on ussr and you wont need to push past the urals
you wont even need to get moscow sometimes
yeah that's such a game changer
especially for the soviets and usa
yeah true
china too
i cant live without collab govs on the soviets
im not a masochist and dont play japan so idk
i hate this game crashing whenever germany does something
anyone has experienced something like this
bro won against Italy and decided it's time for a new drip
can you get hacked if you join a hoi4 mp lobby with a hacker?
i have 2163 hours but cant play navy still..
based
not only for japan
navy is hard for me
if you fight china as a nation late game its so annoying to push there
1557 and i suck at navy and airforce
i have 1613
i started hoi4 at 2022
hell yeah
tbf i havent done a wc in a loooong time so i forgot about the fact that you can fight china as someone other than japan
2022 december or smthng
i started playing a bit in 2023 i think or 2024
i never did a world conquest
i play better turkey+ now as a mod
i was close but i didnt wanna lose more sanity
non-socialist ethiopia is locked to 4 research slots
couldnt be assed justifying war goals
idk if i did more than one
i did one with monarchist england for the achievement
and why the hell is adolf looks like garbage now
and maybe i did one with germany
he looks like old
if you want ultimate schizo play greece rework
yeah i like greece mods
i need third rome mod
ohhh they're doing the funny thing
its a soviet path
venizelos
you can do it on no step back
i think it might be a problem with mods (if you have them installed) if not that then your most likely running below the required specs for the game
third rome thing
bulgaria is better
oh okay
bulgaria on top
i don't wanna remove every mod i have atm
yugoslavia has joined the chinese united front
i tried removing some and its still like that
lol
just remove any that modify germany
i did
i have RT56, and a few other things but really no big deal
hmmm
for vaterland.
guys open smoothb motion if you have nvidia 4000series
its helpy
i had 40fps when i reachg 1945 now 60
that shit locked me out of my focus tree
france completed mod
how
and i was forced to make the original afghanistan annex the other so i could continue
wait no
it isn't
wait wait wait i just removed better laws and policies for RT56 and its not crashing
the original afghanistan didnt control 2 states so i couldnt do a focus.thats exactly why civil was sides should have dynamic tags or smth
I’m bored so why not
this is exactly why paradox should stop making slop
original afghanistan is the same and the other one should be like AFG-2
if you think hoi4 slop is bad look at any of the other paradox games...
eu4 is goated tho
yeah i dont have any bought
i only buy subscription when i feel like playing eu4
would take me years of subscription to match the price of the dlcs
the faction for independence have pressed their demands
and then you have a revolt of 50k troops
EU4 in total is like 300 something dollars
real
then you hit alt f4
then you dont play the game for months and probably even delete it
guys what od dive breaks do for cas??
did they integrate something into the base game or smth?
Read the stats
i dont think so?
Read
only thing i hate in eu4 is that you wanna fight a nation then they ally with the whole world
hamburger
i once played vic3 when it was free for a day but i closed it almost immediately cuz it was too complicated for me
every possible bonus and I still cant break an entrenched line
they dont even have a fort
i personally dont think vic3 is too bad
reinforcements lol
cas them to extinction
Same
i got something like 100 hours in vic3
I am 😭
its not bad but it was too complicated for me
936zl for all the content dlcs or 36zl/month
its an awesome game, I am just too dumb for it
would have to pay for the subscription for 26 months for it to cost more
can you send me a pic of the area you are fighting in
so its worth it for me
thats actually higher then mine damn 😭
not that complicated fr if you just spend a week or two reading the tooltips
its the 45 damage one
its been going up and down arond 30-45
i thought it would be like 1000 ngl
No fog of war?
uh what?
invade sicily.its their weak spot
I have max radars
thats EU4 with ALL dlc
Or really good intel network
I dont have the intel DLC
I see
its still ridiculous
that game is unplayable without the dlcs
HOI4 is like over 200€ as well
coughing baby vs atomic bomb
goes for every single one of the paradox games ngl
you thought that was expensive fr?
I am playing france so I just extended the maginot and boom I cannot lose
vic2 is absolutely goated for only having 2 dlcs
the 45 is not damage, I think that's organization ratio
To get damage you have to click on the bubble
have yall seen the review bombing mtg has got 💀
ck2 is the most expensive out of them all i think
They saw an opportunity to make more money
With Vic 3
I sent that screenshot earlier
I didnt realise it was org ratio though, thank you
who else is waiting for autumn sales
me fr
about to get gotterdammerung on autumm sale
I read that as autism sales
hoi4 playerbase would be feasting if those existed
Time to collect your seasonal dose of autism
nah thats just for people that wanna buy ea games on sales
paradox gamer hating on ea 😭
brother its the same thing
i could argue that paradox is worse
at least paradox games are more fun
but they're a smaller company at least
see, EA makes a good game once every 5-10 years
i love looking pixels changing
paradox makes one game every 5-10 years
wow they're actually winning for once
every time they rise up in the north they just stand there for years
actually hoi4 and stellaris both released in 2016 🤓 ☝🏼
i honestly forgot stellaris existed
and ck3 in 2020 🤓
in recent memory it’s hard to even call them games
The only way for them to win is to take Moscow
their more kinda just like
it took them like month or two to win lol
they’re just templates missing necessary features to later pack into dlc
trotsky russia always wins
its unusually quick
the only game that looks like it won’t be a total snoozefest at launch is eu5
paradox is the equivalent of EA
but EA actually makes the games slightly playable without dlc
ea if they werent already filthy rich
will become playable after the 10th dlc
another paradox classic
well paradox isn’t as big a studio at all nor makes big AAAtitles
Is Prioritize economic growth better for Germany if I'm achievement hunting? Going historical for this one, I want the By Beer Alone achievement and Operation Sea Lion - which somehow I have never gotten in 8 years of playing this game despite invading Britain many, many times. Probably because I mostly play with mods on
EU5 launch is gonna be only the menu screen and you gotta buy a dlc to unlock the starting screen and etc
paradox slop is on the level of EA slop or even worse at this point
why don't my units ever attack when I tell them to
i have mixed feelings about this
I assign them to an order and they just sit around at the front not doing anything
they most likely dont have enough org
its good because they wont be annoying in the americas
and they will be easier to conquer
it's an order
grrrr uk called romania against me
because the AI is stupid fr
wait till you see the true union of britain
put the battleplan on aggresive and watch
when does the dlc sale end
but on the other hand they will release a trillion new nations
and i have to do a wc
they're going against skeleton crews of units and empty fields
and they're too afraid to attack
im scared
how is uruguay ai even justifying
guys
the ai doesnt justify until they got like
focus tree
oh forgot
PEGging scales to mefo by mid 39 but murders your early eco
Mefo has better concluding modifier if you cap allies but you’re on a clock to take land and seize their resources
secret poland path
free oil
i might actually do tank brazil this run
Man the guns is free YAY 🤑
mass mob on top
w path now take slavic countries and form slavic union
Time to conquer the world as THE UK
i will
but first
i will end the axis war
and destroy the uk
im 3 years behind on hoi4 meta ngl
if i have the manpower
i just go with superior firepower every game if i dont use tanks
now thats a problem
if i use them i go mw
1 width divisions are the new meta
thanks will try
1 width AA btw
and i cant fight russia yet
forgot to say that
push frontline = encirclement
yeah but i cant even hold it properly
guys I dropped the vase
asia first
then russia
how bad are your divisions...
Who are they fighting
Just Romania and Hungary ?
I mean crazy that yugo is winning that but still
think they mean hungary
they should've lost in an instant
that happens quite a bit for me actually, balkan entente? I think it is
im training 127 more
it’s cause they chose a habsburg
but my manpower is absurdly low
and then didn’t agree to the restrictions
and i dont wanna raise to all adults
and somehow there isnt a portrait
they forgot the leader fr
bro what is this frontline
did me defeating italy cause romania a stroke?
its the anti-munich conference line
can i get help with templates
and why are the czech refusing to give up sudetenland if they dont have any forts built
no way
before i war poland for the third or fourth time
it ended in 1938???
in 35 days
replace ALL of it with infantry
my conquering of asia starts
swap to mass assault
can you not mess with me dude
im like actually trying to ask
not get trolled
non historical mode has random paths for the ai to go down, even though czechoslovakia doesn't have much of a focus tree, theres a random chance it'll be stubborn as and will fight to keep its land
mass mob is best way to go?
@grok, is this true?
1941 and i own almost 1/5 of the world
no dont you get it bro trolling people who genuinely want help is so funny in 2025!!!
crazy
template here
had to deal with czech entente
wiped them out like crazy
i suck at the game sorry
alr
random screenshot I found online, there'll be historical and then a variant that says historical - ignore appeasement, or something like that
use ur land facility to get armoured suppourt and flame tanks, do medium flame tanks then put them in ur div
for tanks do 10/8
bro ik
add a light tank or 2, get maintence company
10 tanks 10 motorized/mech
that wasnt a serious question
the date is august 1939
i don't think i have enough time for that
you have no idea how much times the ai has screwed me over I have to explain it
ohh did u do the 1939 date
no
and yes u do have enough time
lets goo
i mean ur tanks will live without those 2
hey I found a bug for Ethiopia!
"A Federal Empire" says it ends the balance of power
but there's several focuses that require your balance of power to be on x side, which you cant do apparently
but its reccomended
so i can just do ten mediums ten mech
scientist and start project
ok
8 mech but yes
okay, thanks
its over for you
also
i don't happen to have mechanized stuff, just motorized right now
lovely borders
Noo horthy
i reccomend getting it
whats ur conscription law
thats rlly low manpower for ur div count
why not
limited
i wouldn't put that many divs in east prussia
you're right
whats ur infantry templater
ill probably just keep my infantry there
yeah
btw put some divs on the french border
because they will join the war
i wanted to see the space marine thing
yes
lovely encirclement
my man is DRIPPED OUT
don't yall just hate it when your 3 div stack gets red bubbled by an infantry division with rifles and a cavalry division
How do I even do this
balkan entente 😭
half a million men?
you need to watch Bittersteel’s video man
i mean, you’ll win atleast
whos gonna tell him
why are your units not on max strength
i deployed them early
are you not supposed to do that
go watch a guide
that's not the issue
watch bittersteel’s guide
do you not have tanks?
the important thing is that do you know each unit uses equipment
depends
when you don't have equipment, you could deploy the division
but if your tank division has no tank in it
i have a full 24
what is it gonna do
i mean do you have a deficit of tanks
you have tank divisions deployed, but they may not have actual tanks in them
why would they possibly want that from brazil
let me check
damn what going on in mexico
brazil mentioned
belgium is capping france 😭
you can click on the division, then click on its icon, to see
lol
yes
spain 2
😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 😭
..
they have there own world war
pls remove the tanks from your infantry template
shush
their guns are the cannons
cant be worse than the italian tank template
🔥
yeah
and im flippin winnin boy
thats what happens when you have 303 divs
you are lacking resources
yes i am
trade with siam or sweden
ffs the us decided to actually use counter intelligence
true
heres a tip: invade netherlands first and the rest of the benelux next
yes
or youll get stuck in belgium
you shouldve taken danzig when you declared
its demilitarized so its open
thats good
SLAMMEDDD
nice that many colonies stayed in the allies
will make it easier to get them
atp you shouldve capitulated em
- german high command 1945
I have historical on, what the hell?
So now the Carlists are going to mess everything up
whats your air situation
why did you not put any plane..
these days im just repeating the phrase "this game bro..." for a reason
losing on all fronts but he keeps declaring wars
- no field marshals
- red air everywhere (did you even build air, you're losing the air war to POLAND)
- constantly battleplanning even on the defensive
- your air force is doing literally nothing
you'll learn, dw
king blawg of albania
have fun there man
just email the save to BittrSteel at this point lil bro
Filipinos are built different
watchthem lose
dont get too excited.youll probably lose them all in china cuz of attrition
"why am i not winning guys? i have more divisions than them!?!?!"
at burma
this is a moment in history frfr
this is so based
steiner will save this
tf is happening in croatia and bosnia
is that a trotsky ussr
not quite
i want ai to do sssr
cuz it never ends and you have a free ussr
wtf
original by taoscar370 on youtube
recently connected a keyboard and mouse to my macbook, so playing hearts of iron IV might become a bit easier
they're actually pushing now holy shit
they had a plan all along
blessed romanian manchuria
I am so scawy
by naval invading
yeah thats not happening
why
paradrop then
all my navy is from countries i capitulated
just wait for the next ice age and walk
no allies close enough
then make a better navy
i dont wanna
and destroy their navy with naval bombers
invad the soviets and occupy vladivostok
I already bought a China expansion, it was called Waking the Tiger or something 💀
now the Steam news is saying there's gonna be ANOTHER China expansion?
paradox:
update dlc for free ❌
make a new dlc that updates a dlc ✅
IS THAT MY GLORIOUS LI ZOGREN
waking the tiger was a really old one, and it was integrated into the base game earlier last year
make a dual monarchy with ma bufang
how would i even do that
bro thinks im playing romania
romania stronk
10 years of fighting here awaits
wouldnt have happened if i didnt forget about getting some port guards
what is germany doing
this map blinds me
austria hungary prob
why does it look so bright
is this daynight cycle or smth
i didnt realise it was on
can someone tell me why every time i declare war on spain they always gotta join japans faction
im playing as czeckoslovakia
high tension, and mabye the only faction willing to take em
as what country
also its cuz japan is desperate
aswell
like germany
plus why do european nations join japans faction y cant tere be a mod or update where they cant join japans faction unless like puppeted
dude
after the faction rework it will prob not happen again
i have a bunch of divisions basically isolated on another country because the convoys are getting destroyed so they cant leave
i hate u japan
can there also be a update where when operation barbarossa happens soviet union gets a invitation to the allies
a lil bit more historical
the problem is that poland is also in the allies so ussr wouldnt puppet it
if we are talking about historical
and i cant think of any way to make it scripted
oh yea that kinda makes sense
and after faction rework it will probably be worse to add it
imo ussr should declare on poland
poland wouldnt be in the allies till it caps
similar to ethiopia
ussr would still be at war with poland but not get debuffs (like italy) and the allies wouldnt be able to join the war
also they should make guarantees work like defensive pacts against
world conquest not going that well
if germany has war goal on nation and uk guarantees it should only be against germany
so if i declared on the nation with peru for example uk wouldnt join against me
why you got beef with guatamala
nah nah anah nah tell me why u got beef with guatamala
i am not even at war with them for now
in the next 3 dlcs only 3 countries are getting completely new content
philippines, indonesia, and siam
PLEASE
i dont think the warlords are even getting anything new
why are you pushing with infantry 😭
this new dlc so far feels really small in comparison to any of the last major expansions
but ig we havent seen any dev diaries yet
it's literally expanding countries that already had DLC lol
waking the tiger
because its the amazon jungle?
basedbasedbasedbasedbased
cut them off at the port first..? so they starve?
what do you think im trying to do?
only reason the previous DLCs were made free and now MTG is just so they can rehash old nations in new dlcs
attacking them in the forest for some reason.
you just said so yourself!
where tf else was there to attack
naval invasion go brrr
yes i can see my brazilian navy outclassing the american one
seems legit lol
issue of skill!
Brazil is the second strongest nation on Earth, it is known.
dod integrated, immediately hungary rework in next dlc
tfv integrated, upcoming aussie content
I didn't even know they were integrating DLCs until today lol
totally
each dlc costing 20 dollars
the romanian ocupation zone of manchuria
are we praying for nz rework in that upcoming dlc
at least minor changes*
Not me
I like nzl
Just their ahist is kinda bad
Australia is full on just bad tho
Well, ahist nzl at least gets like 2 more research slots for being independant
It isnt like yk a path with OP buffs but its pretty powerful
based polish berlin
NZ paths:
Historical
A hist but tech sharing with the Soviets
A hist but tech sharing with Japan
Declare war on Australia
how do i gain naval supremacy? i moved fleets in the area but still didnt increase it
Well i mean you can just ignore ahist paths mostly
Your air research buffs are decent
Best part of NZ is the Big Bob
And you have enough slots to make good air
You dont really get good tanks
Or good infantry
The main issue is not having an air MIO
If they got one itd be a lot better
NOOOO
My Bob Semple gif!
There we go
the brazilian tank program starts today
we may be researching 1938 tanks in 1942
but
as they say
better late than never
60 days until i start the main offensive
against mexico and the us
HOW DID THEY GET HERE
ai always plans naval invasions in the most random places
it's quite normal for me actually
when will the new dlcs come out
most of them are useless cavalry divs
this is not a drill
we're actually winning ts
the us has a suprisingly small army
up to a maximum of a 125 divs
watch out for supply in the desert
fr
100% of my industry is building railways and supply hubs 😭
that's good to know.
THANK GOD FOR ITALY
makes the wc so much easier
wont have to kill everyone one by one
now that they're in a faction
Only good thing Italy does 💔✌️
Seems normal to me.
true
the brazilians have entered texas
You don't get to hear that sentence anywhere else
No doubt that it’s from hoi4 🥹
i reckon you could hear the current american president say that one day 😭
😭😭
because hilter hated black people
Ts so beautiful 🥹
all rightfully brazilian territory
FINALLY
?
yes
ts so based
polish colony in turkey
lol
this is a thing that exists
qookie that gotta be the weirdist game i ever saw
this stuff always happens in all my campaigns
didnt even notice that at first
polish switzerland
we're litterally the greatest nation on earth
Just bought the game! Hope to have fun!
sending prayers🙏
Dw you’ll start having fun around 600 hours 🙏
in this universe young thug will be born a brazilian
The only other HOI game i've played is HOI3. I'll be fine.
Fair enough
At least you have experience with hoi
go outside
its night time
sleep
im wide awake
play something else
please just cap already
i was playing wt
and before that i was playing the op poland
but then i got f'ed up
are you playing historical?
no
okay
now
i can either get canada
or naval invade ireland from accros the world
canada.
im so glad that everyone in europe sucks
god all the wargoals take over 100 days
💔
Just be patient for once
i have to do a world conquest here
hard to be patient considering how many war goals ill have to make
"patience is key"💔
