Thank you

[buoyant hull]

Hoe do I get rid of the wnd naval treaties as usa?

[paper echo]

whats 1 thing yall want paradox to add

[buoyant hull]

I left the treaty and they still want me to delete parts of my navy

[paper echo]

just wait till they go away

[frail bolt]

I felt robbed when MTG became base game

[paper echo]

dont leave it

[paper echo]

yeah i bought it months ago

but im not even mad ngl

[buoyant hull]

I cant

If I didn't delete parts of the navy I'm fighting both france and the uk

[paper echo]

you shouldnt leave the treaties

you should restart the run if you left them

i once left as uk and usa demanded i delete parts of my navy 💀

[paper echo]

i want paradox to add a game rule where you can disable certain paths

[buoyant hull]

chat we are finally beating germsny

1944

[buoyant hull]

probably better peace deals

[paper echo]

or make it so countries never do historical paths on non hist

[paper echo]

i love border gore

[wary cosmos]

i'll try to beat germans as vichy france

https://tenor.com/view/marechal-phille-pétain-gif-24591035

[paper echo]

bro is gonna do reverse case anton

whats yall fav formables

[buoyant hull]

hre

[wary cosmos]

greater hungary, any polish formables except slavic union

also imperial federation

[paper echo]

i love forming austria hungary,polish lithuania and slavic union

[buoyant hull]

And greate hungary too!

[paper echo]

i REFUSE to play as hungary and not do austria hungary

[buoyant hull]

have you guys once played free france?

[wary cosmos]

no

[paper echo]

no

[buoyant hull]

During summer break I had the bright idea to do it

[paper echo]

did you lose your sanity?

[buoyant hull]

it took till 1946

I was playing for like 8 hours and my game crashed when the peace deal happened

[paper echo]

paradox should rework the whole increase resistance thing

i would love to cause uprisings to capped countries

[buoyant hull]

The most useless uprising is the polish uprising ngl

[paper echo]

yeah

[buoyant hull]

The ai should do it when france is liberated or somethiny

[tiny iris]

I think La resistance and BBA will be integrated into the base game in a few years. So I refunded BBA and bought BFTB and AAT instead.

[paper echo]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-try-not-to-laugh-gif-7682731162751353849

just why

[buoyant hull]

"will we get our money back?"

ahh message

[paper echo]

bftb is more likely to be integrated

idk why it didnt get integrated last year

[buoyant hull]

Bftb?

[marsh comet]

The Italians managed to take Cairo for some time in my play as Romania.

[rose prawn]

opinion on the navy

[paper echo]

battle for the bosporus

[tiny iris]

Why? Its just minor nations. it doesn't have major changes like MTG.

[buoyant hull]

Yeah, it includes minor content

So I think the same

[uncut pollen]

Its good

Ig

[paper echo]

well they did integrate a lot of old country packs last year

[dusky burrow]

All hail Raeder!

[rose prawn]

I sent u a good navy guide video

u can watch it

[paper echo]

so i dont see why btfb will not be integrated

[junior oyster]

BBA>

[tiny iris]

Yes but they had a bunch of gameplay featires too. Bosporus is just countries and cosmetics.

[dusky burrow]

You can always afford to have more light cruisers though

[uncut pollen]

Not enough time

[wary cosmos]

is it worth if i train troops as france cuz i will capitulate to germans to play as vichy, does training units as normal france increase my vichy troops as well?

[buoyant hull]

Chat

It's 1944 and the leader of the axis is the free state of slovakia

And Italy is in greece

[buoyant hull]

Build mils in vichy

[rose prawn]

yes

[rose prawn]

yes but we are going with adenaur with this time

[buoyant hull]

Try to cause as much casualities to germsny before capping

[rose prawn]

gotta form EU

[buoyant hull]

Make them weaker

[rose prawn]

so he can be the father of europe

I love how landing on the hull gamble still works

[paper echo]

i just spam light cruisers,destroyers train them and put air on sea zones

[rose prawn]

since the game came out

[flat gazelle]

this is surprisingly not that awful

i expected the soviets to just annex poland

i still dont like the fact that i have a frontline with them now

[rose prawn]

they will get stronger if you let them live

[flat gazelle]

thankfully i dont plan doing that

[paper echo]

who else loves it when ai constantly ragebaits you on non hist

[rose prawn]

are u going to reform austria hungary

or annex austria and czechia

[tiny iris]

Ok, I am paranoid now. I hope to God they don't integrate BFTB. Then I will have wasted 4 euros.

4 euros ain't that much tbh.

[junior oyster]

i wouldve wasted 10 leva

which is a lot

[rose prawn]

yes

[junior oyster]

(it can buy you bread)

i think

[tiny iris]

You're Bulgarian right?

[junior oyster]

yes

holy moly

[rose prawn]

10 leva can get you plenty of things

at turkey

[junior oyster]

why is everyone getting shocked at me being bulgarian

[rose prawn]

250 turkish liras

damn

[paper echo]

even your pfp says it 💀

[rose prawn]

you can buy like 15+ bread with that

[junior oyster]

dang

[paper echo]

tf is a focus pack

[junior oyster]

reason to move to instanbul and rename it CONSTANTINOPLE

[paper echo]

we have country pack and expansion

dont tell me they are doing another 20 euros dlc for just 2 random countries

[rose prawn]

u will run away from the city if u set a foot

its too overcrowded

[tiny iris]

So should I refund BFTB and get back my 4 euros before paradox integrates it?

Comments?

[paper echo]

you should just get bba back

i still dont know why you refunded it

[junior oyster]

wait a minute

arent they

supposed to refund us

[paper echo]

bftb sucks compared to bba

[rose prawn]

what was the BFTB

the france dlc?

[junior oyster]

everyone who purchased BFTB

has to get it refunded if its integrated

[junior oyster]

battle of bosporous

i think

[paper echo]

greece bulgaria turkey

[tiny iris]

Well, we ain't getting refunded on MTG.

[rose prawn]

i dunno

[junior oyster]

aint fair

[rose prawn]

I mean

yeah

it might

[junior oyster]

also why does yugoslavia have a unique focus tree

[rose prawn]

but u gotta wait like

1 year

[paper echo]

the country where it doesnt matter what path you do

[junior oyster]

was there also a dlc which got integrated

[tiny iris]

BBA sucks anyways

[paper echo]

you do monarchist and you can still go commie

[tiny iris]

The only good thing about it is the plane desinger and taking navies.

[junior oyster]

perfect for my confused ahh

[paper echo]

you should play as india then

[junior oyster]

(but still i main bulgaria)

bro

[flat gazelle]

i may not have a brain, but i have an idea

[paper echo]

a big idea

as venizelos said

[paper echo]

or a megali idea

[flat gazelle]

thankfully i already have 2 collab govs in the soviet union

and i have about 2 years before the us joins the allies

so i can blitz france and then try to kill the soviets asap

and i should have enough time for the uk

[paper echo]

uk is easy if you cas them till nothing is left

[junior oyster]

they need to add a greek communist focus branch

[paper echo]

theres one

but it sucks

[junior oyster]

yes i know

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

[paper echo]

greek focus tree sucks anyways

[junior oyster]

scam

[flat gazelle]

yeah but tbf i only just started building air

[paper echo]

it doesnt even have a seperate democratic path

[paper echo]

damn

[flat gazelle]

eh should be fine tbf

it'll be ready for the uk when i cap the soviets

[paper echo]

i remember playing as ussr months ago,i had double the german air but it got destroyed probably cuz i put no armor plates

[flat gazelle]

i played a historical soviets game today

just to try actually using tanks and air

and we decimated the german airforce

[paper echo]

as ussr i dont really build tanks

i spam inf

[flat gazelle]

even tho i only started building air in like 1939

[junior oyster]

ussr seems too hard to control

[paper echo]

its easy ngl

just fallback to the big river

Why does the Soviet union keep Bialystok after Germany's surrender?.

[paper echo]

[paper echo]

who else hates it when you fallback on a supply zone to starve the enemy but they dont push

[flat gazelle]

genuinely have to restart this run

[paper echo]

or when the ai can certainly push a tile but they dont

[flat gazelle]

im so reta*ded

[paper echo]

i canttt

i need my dopamine

what about the falklands or the guianas?

and i really dgaf about useless navy focuses that arent even necessary for the run

245 days worth of focuses for nothing 💔

[lament swan]

Why does the german Flag look like poland?

[paper echo]

its just some small islands and a small state

[indigo violet]

I always ignore navy during germany runs

[paper echo]

i never completed the run anyways

[quiet vessel]

it feels so good to send my navy into one area on strike force and let it rip

[indigo violet]

Literally useless

[azure palm]

Also why is it easier to play as ethiopia and unite africa than to play italy and bring back the Roman Empire?

[indigo violet]

Because italians.

[flat gazelle]

i mean i was worried about invading the uk without it

[paper echo]

cuz with ethiopia you just cause revolts and puppet

[flat gazelle]

but tbf if i just steal the dutch soviet and french navies it should be fine

shit why havent i thought of that earlier

[indigo violet]

I‘d suggest paratroopers but I myself still cant pull it off

[azure palm]

And as italy you are a superpower with a great navy, sizeable army, okay airforce, and yet you cant even defeat britain at all sometimes

[paper echo]

yeah

i remembered i once spammed subs and naval invaded

i had 300 subs

[indigo violet]

Sounds about right yea

[azure palm]

i normally just blitzkrieg them with paratroopers after building an airforce the whole game

[paper echo]

build a navy that might be small but effective and get marines

[paper echo]

i dont like paratroopers

[quiet vessel]

army with 50% of troops being incapable crap bags

i just build marines

Paratroopers are goated imo when used right

[flat gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/donald-duck-sleep-gif-12073235593935901891

[azure palm]

I just take france and their navy

[safe wing]

Hence why I never do it as Victoria

[indigo violet]

^

why build a navy when you can simply steal the enemies?

[paper echo]

you get france before ww2?

or do case anton?

[flat gazelle]

yeah it was stupid of me

[quiet vessel]

gng are we getting the new dlc

[azure palm]

Good old Paratroopers

[flat gazelle]

but i cant be bothered to do another rerun

[paper echo]

end of november i think

[flat gazelle]

no yk what

i actually can be bothered

[azure palm]

DLC coming out on 20th of november

[indigo violet]

How do you actually do case anton? I never managed to do it in my germany games

[safe wing]

Same I did it once and it was a waste

[paper echo]

i honestly dont know

didnt do that either

[safe wing]

Just get to Toulouse asap

[flat gazelle]

istg if i do this civil war 1 more time

i will throw up

it makes me physically sick atp i did it so many times

[paper echo]

most historical hoi4 game:

[quiet vessel]

am i the only one who doesnt give a care in the world to africa

[azure palm]

just make every division like one artillery template after putting out hundreds of 1 infantry.

[indigo violet]

Is that literally it? Just marching in there?

[safe wing]

Yeah

[azure palm]

Depends on what Nation

[paper echo]

germany

historical

[azure palm]

i guess. Rarely play germany facist. Mostly communist and monarchist

[flat gazelle]

i mean i dont even consider that necessary tbf

[quiet vessel]

does gotterdammrug give germany more focuses?

[flat gazelle]

its braindead easy

[indigo violet]

Oh god the communist path

Its so bad

[paper echo]

when i do alt hist i wanna go non hist focuses but the ai just ragebaits me

[azure palm]

anyways, got to go. God night fellow ethiopia enjoyers

[indigo violet]

Gn

[paper echo]

idk if i can manage to do alt hist germany on historical

[flat gazelle]

why not

[paper echo]

idk i feel like i get nerfed as non hist germany

[indigo violet]

I rarely play any other path than democratic when i play germany. Just feels, the best

[paper echo]

might try kaiser on historical

[flat gazelle]

i myself enjoy a good historical switzerland run

[indigo violet]

Switzerland??

Are

You

Fr

?

[paper echo]

remember when i told you that you prob gained sanity?i take it back

[flat gazelle]

once again hoi4 players vs the concept of sarcasm

[paper echo]

well im sure people actually enjoy that

[indigo violet]

Some people

And i wanna stay far away from those

[paper echo]

i once did alpine federation and it was boring

almost fell asleep

[flat gazelle]

wait am i crazy

[indigo violet]

I raged at the balance of power thing because my god

[tepid crown]

You should try Switzerland historical game

[flat gazelle]

or do mefo bills kinda suck

[paper echo]

i despise them

[indigo violet]

When I play fascist i usually stick with them, but any other path and they are useless

[paper echo]

i despise the thing after mefo bills

[gusty oracle]

very fun

[flat gazelle]

should i still go for four year plan tho

[gusty oracle]

economy simulator

[paper echo]

thats what i always pick

[quiet vessel]

am i the only one who always takes prioritise economic growth

[paper echo]

idk what the other one does

[quiet vessel]

i hate mefo bills

[paper echo]

i pick prioritise economic depression

[flat gazelle]

its basically nuke your entire economy just to rebuild it and make it better kinda

[indigo violet]

I think it depends on the gameplay, if you are fast paced and jump into action i think mefo would be better

Then again i eyeball most things

[paper echo]

aka economy of conquest when i do non hist and ai forms a big ass faction

[quiet vessel]

mefo bills just stress me out

[indigo violet]

True

[flat gazelle]

from what i see the only thing that reduces mefo on monarchist is austria

which sucks

[paper echo]

yeah consumer goods thing sucks

[flat gazelle]

oh and poland

[quiet vessel]

i just like to see nice green numbers

[paper echo]

what about czechia thing

[flat gazelle]

surprisingly

i dont think it does

[paper echo]

you will prob get a decision

[flat gazelle]

no

[paper echo]

if you do a specific economy focus

[flat gazelle]

its specified for austria

maybe its bcs you give the entirety of slovakia to hungary or smth

but that just seems silly

[paper echo]

when you do a specific economy focus you get some steal gold reserves decision from countries you occupied

you might see one for czechia after you do the focus

[flat gazelle]

maybe

i think ill go economic growth tho

[indigo violet]

Just do economic growth and hire the giga chad ludwig erhard fr

[safe wing]

I only go mefo if playing the nazis and economic if playing non hist

[quiet vessel]

a fun challenge i love doing is getting the most land peacefully as germany

[paper echo]

just send kaiser to the front lines

[quiet vessel]

you can get a decent amount

[safe wing]

Make him give out medals

[paper echo]

if ai doesnt screw you over

[indigo violet]

Fascist?

[quiet vessel]

yeah just a whole lotta demanding

and fates

[indigo violet]

Ohhh

I tried that once

Then got bored XD

[quiet vessel]

i tend to do danzig for slovakia

or whtv it is

cus i couldnt care less abt slovakia

[indigo violet]

Real

[paper echo]

only reason i would do that is so i can get an achievement

where france needs to be fascist and get danzig without going to war

[paper echo]

for that achievement you just need to have la resistance off so you can coup easily

[quiet vessel]

why die for biscuits

[indigo violet]

I wanna try that now, play as historical germany and try to be peaceful and see what happens

[paper echo]

not that hard ngl

[paper echo]

just turn off la resistance and do danzig for slovakia

ai says yes

and stage a coup on france

[indigo violet]

Ah

[paper echo]

i think it gives it even if france is still on civil war

[indigo violet]

I like my spy agency thing tbh, its a fun mechanic

[peak carbon]

any games going on?

[paper echo]

yeah but you stage coups ridicilously easy without that dlc

[indigo violet]

That is true

[flat gazelle]

fighting soviets without spy agency is masochism

[indigo violet]

Idk not much of an achievement guy

[flat gazelle]

collab govs are life savers

[quiet vessel]

how is as germany reclaim all yr former colonies such a low gained achievement its so easy

[flat gazelle]

yeah me neither

[indigo violet]

._.
I rarely do collabs on the soviets since i cant be bothered most of the time

[paper echo]

that was easy ngl

[flat gazelle]

most of the achievements are low gained

[quiet vessel]

i cry in no dlc

[flat gazelle]

people dont care about iron man

[paper echo]

i just declared on poland and germany at the start

[flat gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/jimmy-butler-jimmy-butler-paper-confused-gif-14478007832172093541

what do you even use it for then

thats like the only thing i ever use the agency for

[indigo violet]

Funny boom boom sabotage

[flat gazelle]

sabotage out of all things?

https://tenor.com/view/jimmy-butler-jimmy-butler-paper-confused-gif-14478007832172093541

[indigo violet]

Nah I‘m pulling your leg XD

[quiet vessel]

ill cry with my boost party popularity and plan coup buttons

[paper echo]

thats fun ngl

you just stage coup whenever you feel like it

[indigo violet]

It really depends on if i even remember to create the agency

[quiet vessel]

it usually takes like over a year and you need high party pop for it to acc work

[paper echo]

well the outcome is fun tho

usually

[flat gazelle]

thats so real ngl

[paper echo]

but yeah i suggest you get la resistance

cuz without collab govs invading ussr is hell

[flat gazelle]

had many runs where i noticed in 1939/40 i still didnt get it

[paper echo]

china too sometimes

as japan i usually try to max collab on china

[indigo violet]

Fr

[quiet vessel]

the urals are fun what do you mean

[paper echo]

totally

[indigo violet]

But yeah, I just push em to the urals and capture tomsk and im done

[paper echo]

my units are just learning dicipline

anyways imma break one of the main hoi4 rules and take a shower

brb

[indigo violet]

Woah

[quiet vessel]

pmo when japan declares on me every game cus their greedy ahh always need sum colonies

[flat gazelle]

i'd never play japan

its so ass 😭

[indigo violet]

Me taking a random ass colony island in the pacific.
Japan: Imma need that.

[quiet vessel]

japan when they realise a random ass island produces 1 steel (they're going to die for it)

[indigo violet]

Clearly the Japanese high command feels invincible and can do whatever they want

[quiet vessel]

wait until they realise ive research nukes

and im not sparing tokyo this time

[flat gazelle]

i have no clue who thought this was acceptable

[lethal ether]

or u can send volunteers or join the war

[flat gazelle]

ik its old af

but still

wtf is this

[indigo violet]

Nukes are so much fun after Götterdämmerung ngl

[flat gazelle]

its either going historical (which should have an option for peace just for realism) where you can only do historical stuff

monarchist where you just fight the soviets

and yeah good luck with that

pushing them through siberia

[lethal ether]

communist japan

[flat gazelle]

communism where you just dont do anything

your playthrough is

lose manchuria

reclaim manchuria

an absolute banger

[indigo violet]

Dont forget the civil war the ai manages to get stuck in for the entire campaign

Love watching that

[flat gazelle]

or democratic japan which surprisingly is the most acceptable one of the 4 paths

its trash but makes sense for what it is

[quiet vessel]

am i the only one who gets rly confused by the mexican focus tree

you can switch ideology like 4 times

no define path

its just kinda go for it

[flat gazelle]

i mean you just have to balance the church

[clear dagger]

communist japan with 75%+ facist support

[indigo violet]

TRUE

[quiet vessel]

ever thought

who do you play as

[flat gazelle]

surely this cant be real

[indigo violet]

opens console
types "research all"

[hallow orchid]

nah the generic portrait general is just goated

at the game

[clear dagger]

[buoyant hull]

I ak

I'm producing more than the british

crazy how I have only 180 divs in 1946

France has 173

And UK 300

[indigo violet]

I think the us is more of a navy nation rather than a army nation

[buoyant hull]

Yeah usually

[lethal ether]

never count divs count battalions 💯

[buoyant hull]

You can win even without a navy as usa

If you allied uk

[quiet vessel]

hate it when im being so happy taking everything in south america but then some random ass country i invade joins the allies cus i forgor world tension so i genuinely destroy my pc and begin a nuclear war

[buoyant hull]

allies always be glazing minors

wait

Minor nations**

[dusky burrow]

[sudden grotto]

She took off the feeling and out fk to it

[flat gazelle]

i feel like the german ai because i cant do the next focus 💔

[sudden grotto]

It was in a her concert

[flat gazelle]

if i just did anti democratic raids smh

[flat gazelle]

useless

not worth 150pp

[quiet vessel]

https://tenor.com/view/silly-seal-seal-seal-tongue-seal-funny-seal-cute-gif-25826560

how i feel doing focuses in the weirdest order possible to practically softlock myself from doing the path i wanna or making my life hell

[flat gazelle]

how i feel after wasting 150pp on nothing

(im gonna need a ton of pp soon)

[indigo violet]

Me in kaiserreich

[flat gazelle]

why did i even go for that path

but dont worry guys it will be good by 1941

also lmfao i have the entire navy even tho i didnt do that thing where i accepted the navys demands

[robust spruce]

@flat gazelle give me a fun idea I’ll do it

[indigo violet]

Tannu Tuva

[robust spruce]

Someone give me a fun idea

[flat gazelle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

at least we have trucks ig

[lament swan]

Something is Wrong...

[dusky burrow]

No one ever

[dusky burrow]

Strange

[lament swan]

yeah i am playing as them and the war has been going for like 4 months i should have at least 1 dude dead

[flat gazelle]

what could they possibly need 1 tactical bomber for

[dusky burrow]

33.1k Belgians killed by the French yet Belgium has lost 0 men

[dusky burrow]

Raiding the Reichstag

[lament swan]

No, 33.1k French killed by Belgium and Belgium has lost 0 men

[dusky burrow]

Ah I see

My bad

[lament swan]

Wtf how did belgium get this much stuff

[uncut pollen]

Destroying the Royal navy

[opal nymph]

Some border gore, but historical Austria campaign is done

I can't be bothered to go to war with the allies for a couple of provinces

[uncut pollen]

Building

[lament swan]

but they should not have that much stuff by 1940

[indigo violet]

"South Germany“
Only half of the country is actual german lmao

[opal nymph]

lol

[uncut pollen]

How is Austria called Süddeutschland?

[opal nymph]

I did the focus that let me do it

[uncut pollen]

Ah

[opal nymph]

Instead of doing the option to core all of germany gradually

I chose the option that gave me cores instantly because no one else clicks it

[flat gazelle]

🔥

[opal nymph]

I could have gotten 150pp, 10% stab and something else to just stay austria

[uncut pollen]

And why liberate saxony and the other?

[indigo violet]

What is that deficit?

[opal nymph]

Because no united Germany allowed

[flat gazelle]

dont know what you're talking about

everythings fine

[opal nymph]

A united Germany invaded me, so split them up

[uncut pollen]

Ah i see

[queen lava]

Tryna do Brazil WC conquest on steam deck no air

This is so rough it goes so slow after a certain point

[uncut pollen]

Bad news

The world is now brazil

[queen lava]

Not yet but going for the achievement

Have to now kill the mega faction

[uncut pollen]

The axis

[queen lava]

Yeah it’s the rest of the world vs me pretty much Soviet Union and France are both dead and the rest of world is axis

[uncut pollen]

The fear of the Ussr and france

[lament swan]

Holy... what is the belgium ai on?

[uncut pollen]

Like always

[dry kayak]

90% of the time ahahah, that's why i'm trying to do a world conquer with my own faction

coups can shuffle the game rng

[uncut pollen]

Yeah the allies are useless and you cant Join the axis

[kind scaffold]

Rate the peak i made?

[dry kayak]

kill the reich and become the major fascist/nationalist faction, it works

the btw, i think for balance, sometimes even though you make a fascist coup that nation joins another faction and not yours😂

[sudden galleon]

As USA what field marshal I use for Europe?

[dry kayak]

some good at naval invasion, you can encircle faster

[uncut pollen]

I feel that

secured britain

tanks really are great ngl i gotta actually start using them

now i just gotta kill the soviets and go against usa

[left sigil]

how do i play as israel in r56

[tired crypt]

you don’t

you play as an actual country

[runic moth]

Zhukov moment

[tired crypt]

has anyone tried the molotov line

[safe wing]

Play the mandate of Palestine and choose Israel

[slim nexus]

🇵🇱

[runic moth]

yeah but it's not worth it, it's right where the germans start pushing

[wind swift]

Should I avoid N Africa as Germany? It seems almost impossible w supply etc but im also fairly new

[tired crypt]

do they break it

[runic moth]

they did for me but it could have been a skill issue on my part, it delayed them though

[tired crypt]

ah

[runic moth]

it all depends on where you want to hold , eastern poland is condensed and belarus and ukraine give way more space

[flat gazelle]

i did kinda mess up

[honest vale]

guys how do i get rid of these combat bubbles

[flat gazelle]

should've made sure that the allies dont exist after my war with the uc

because now ill have to cap australia AND the us to kill them

what is this

"british north america" and its just german canada

anyways ill finish up this run tommorow by killing the us and australia

[wheat drum]

https://tenor.com/view/mmmm-mmmm-dave-chappelle-saturday-night-live-planning-rubbing-hands-gif-19226537

[runic moth]

just remembered the ai tries to avoid big level forts, i shoved level 5 forts on the areas without a river to protect them and theyre barely getting touched

[slim nexus]

yall i be wanting to play millenium dawn but it always crashes 2-3 years into the game

what do i do

[paper echo]

its not really mittel"europa" now

[fair horizon]

golshi defends* russia

[tired crypt]

more military intelligence to see the outcome if that’s what you mean

[wind swift]

Where can I see my spec forces cap?

[tired crypt]

recruit and deploy tab

[fair horizon]

Top of the recruit tab

[wind swift]

The knife w the wings?

[tired crypt]

yeah

[wind swift]

Ok and thats the number of battalions?

Not divs right

[fair horizon]

Number of battalions yeah

So 10 marines in a div is 10 cap

[merry relic]

Any tips on armies and battalions?

[wind swift]

And does that cap go up based on total number of divs i have in the field?

[runic moth]

by a hair although i managed to stop em along the dnipro and worked my way up to belarus w forts

[fair horizon]

Im not 100% sure how its calculated but people usually do 1 horse divs to increase it

[fair horizon]

Time to pump out t34s like no tomorrow

[wind swift]

Keep organizing above 40% min, keep reliability above 75, anything over 100 reliability is wasted

Pay attention to combat width for tiles ull wanna fight on

[merry relic]

Reliability?

[wind swift]

Yes

For armor/motor

These divs wreck ai

[merry relic]

I'm confused

[wind swift]

Sorry nvm

YouTube can explain better than me

[wind swift]

Word thx

[wind swift]

Basically org between 40 and 100, soft attack is king vs Ai.

[merry relic]

can you explain it?

[wind swift]

Reliability?

[merry relic]

Yes please @wind swift

[wind swift]

If you make tank divs, the average reliability will tell you how much stuff youll lose to non combat (tanks and truck breaking down)

Are u playing vanilla or dlc?

[warped flint]

What can i do to increase special force cap

[merry relic]

probably Vanilla to start . i'm a beginner

[runic moth]

uhhhh about that

[wind swift]

Crank out more divs.

More normal divs

[warped flint]

Alr

[fair horizon]

WHAT

ZHUKOV SMITE THIS HORSE

[runic moth]

i might have forgotten abt tanks

[tiny tartan]

hoi4 DLC idea
sell a historical path, and the ahistorical path of a country seperately

instead of making 1 DLC for Czechoslovakia, they could make two

In fact why not sell EVERY path seperately
a DLC for every ideology

4 czechoslovakian DLCs

[flat gazelle]

neither mittel nor europa 😭😭

[tiny tartan]

make 4 monarchist paths, 2 fascist paths, 3 commie paths, 2 democratic paths, and sell all of them seperately as DLCs

11 czechoslovakian DLCs

[eternal pilot]

hi

[bronze mango]

Make the czechoslovak dlc a paid monthly subscription

[tiny iris]

Genius

Stupid AI

[proven folio]

Im not too hyped for the new dlc (even though they are good)
