[flat gazelle]

war crimes have been commited in the peace deal

[warped flint]

Is it possible to make a country capitualte with console commands? They stopped attacking the mongolian country, and they need to cap for me to continue doing focuses.

[sudden thistle]

Tag to them

Delete their army

Then tag to the other one and do the tp command

Don’t unpause if ur tagging to someone

[warped flint]

Just did it, thanks

Just capped

[craggy trail]

you can also use "op TAG" after deleting their army and it'll occupy all the territory from that tag

[dry kayak]

[zenith charm]

total war mod still on 1.14

[brittle cypress]

Oh I asked this yesterday I think lol

[dry kayak]

there's one thing i hate in this game is the fact that you have 2d design but half of the 3d visual are missing

i keep seeing ww2 fighters instead of jets

[zenith charm]

trve

am i making enough planes

[dry kayak]

give some to the puppets or allies

btw the more old you have more time is required for update them

[zenith charm]

dont worry

i didnt start making real planes until like a year ago

[warped flint]

This is so damn painfull

i want to rip my hair out

[dry kayak]

forgot to build forts?

[warped flint]

I don't think that would work even if i did

[patent thistle]

non agression pact cheese

[nocturne cedar]

too late my man

i know a thing or two by the lore due to EAW

(imo the best mod)

[indigo barn]

in a non-historical single player round china provoked me into war (as japan), and I invaded china while they had some chinese warlord splinter invading them as well, and they requested to join war with me and join my GEACPS faction, and together we completely annexed china, and then that country became china itself, but they were still allied with me and in my faction with good diplomatic standing lol

[patent thistle]

lol-

[indigo barn]

the funniest thing was I didnt even want to attack china in the first place, they kept provoking so I had to invade

[craggy trail]

Yes. The starting focus tree for Abyssinia. Don't worry though. Stuff will crumble shortly

[patent thistle]

they just do it until you either leave china and korea as a whole or invade them

[zinc light]

Yeah I saw it opening Up as soon as I Chose my path, havent gotten far into it yesterday

[patent thistle]

honestly a stupid mechanic.

[indigo barn]

and the chinese were also like at war with the soviet union and allied with germany, and I also ended up in that war on the side of china, or on the opposing side I cant remember now actually

[patent thistle]

considering you will litterally have this even happen if you do democratic japan

[indigo barn]

but then the soviet union fell and china took half of it and such

[indigo barn]

what if you do communist japan and china is overtaken by communist china?

[patent thistle]

restart, sinkjiang refused.

[zenith charm]

how far the axis has fallen

one after the other

[indigo barn]

which anime mod is that?

[craggy trail]

I've still got other paths to have to try out

[haughty basalt]

what pride of fleet

[zenith charm]

i wonder who did the most effort

[sudden thistle]

New Zealand

[zenith charm]

idk why theyre majors belgium and the netherlands are too

[patent thistle]

world of anime

[indigo barn]

i think thats the same im using currently actually

i know either im currently using it, or its the other one that I tried

[sudden thistle]

That’s a lot less

[worthy widget]

We are going from gibraltar, not through istanbul, nooooooo we are going through the caucasus, up to fkn moscow and then only then will we reach german lands

[limber jackal]

[vocal mauve]

https://youtu.be/KcbEL2yCkAo?si=FZiKgF8CLrVgz0KG

[vocal mauve]

All you need is on Youtube

[limber jackal]

thx

[vocal mauve]

Ur welcome

[limber jackal]

so i need to civil war germany, return the confederacy in control and wait for hitler to request to be leader of confederacy?

thats what i got from the vid

[vocal mauve]

As I understood, yes. the Nazis have to capitulate

The german civil war might be the ONLY way

[limber jackal]

bah

guess ill set it

[vocal mauve]

Try to do it like in the video, it's the "easiest" way

[flat gazelle]

idk what to torture myself with now

its either chile, norway or iceland

i think ill do the brazil wc first as it seems the least awful achievement that i have left

[misty fossil]

Why are you polish

And why is the description in english

why have i never thought about this

[fair horizon]

POLAND 💪

[flat gazelle]

idk its weird

maybe because i have the game in english

and steam in polish

or smth

[flat gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/scream-love-poland-gif-10918710646251769391

[icy crescent]

Don't know all the remaining stuff.
There are some rare but actually easy achievements.

[flat gazelle]

well i have the norway, chile and iceland ones left

and all the goe ones

apart from that i also have the one for luxembourg left and the magic school bus

and thats all i think

trying a brazil world conquest now

if i get the us before they join the allies the wc is easy

[fair horizon]

did you do the no losses poland/france capitulation?

[flat gazelle]

yeah

it was easier back then than it is now tho

[fair horizon]

well crap

you've tortured yourself enough i guess

[icy crescent]

Was that without the Order66 exploit?

[flat gazelle]

i cant remember honestly

it was over 2 years ago

[fair horizon]

do brazil world conquest

[flat gazelle]

im doing rn

just got done with the civil war

im gonna rush south america now and then the us asap

[icy crescent]

Condor Legion Achievement done?

[flat gazelle]

🔥

did it as venezuela a few days ago

[icy crescent]

Easy, yeahh.

[flat gazelle]

i gotta say some of the harder achievements are actually fun, but some of them are just annoying

this one isnt really that hard but its still insanely fun

[icy crescent]

"Go ahead. Macau my day" with Monarch Portugal was nice.

[flat gazelle]

those 2 were more fun then i expected

[flat gazelle]

yeah

tho i dont remember it that well

those 4 were fun

finland is super strong

did them all in one run which is also a nice bonus

[icy crescent]

Got these two too?
Got Finnish Him! ?

[fair horizon]

literally the worst part about that entire thing, its like easy and annoying af at the same time

[flat gazelle]

just naval invade the vp's

[fair horizon]

yeah

but sometimes hoi4 does the switch capital thing even when they would capitulate

[flat gazelle]

yeah, forgot to include that in the screenshot

i did that in 2023

[fair horizon]

like you grab the 3 on the coast and then it moves to the western part for no reason

[main geyser]

Would anyone be willing to teach me HoI4, I’ve never played it and I’m thinking about getting it?

[icy crescent]

I don't have Graveyard of Empires.
I just built roads and spammed Better Worker Conditions.

[fair horizon]

ask away in here bud, people are usually helpful (though istg no hoi4 player can read)

[uncut pollen]

I gotta do that in my next run

[flat gazelle]

naval invade with the cav divs in the port near sao paulo and rush curitiba

invade porto alegre and rush north

[fair horizon]

yeah i do that, like i said its more annoying than hard

[main geyser]

Well I literally have no clue what to do

[fair horizon]

buy the game first

then choose a country (germany is easiest)

[flat gazelle]

i'd recomend youtube tutorials at first

just to get a grasp on the basics

[icy crescent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvHT121_lWQ&pp=ygUMaG9pNCBzdGFydGVy

[flat gazelle]

hoi4 players will overcomplicate it and try to teach you everything at once

and you would just get overwhelmed

[zenith charm]

operation bagration, huzzah!

[main geyser]

Should I get any of the DLCs

Or no

[icy crescent]

It's a big game.
It is not exactly noob-friendly.
It's normal to be overwhelmed by information.

[flat gazelle]

eventually yeah but i'd test out the base game first

to see if you like it

[fair horizon]

i would suggest not buying the dlcs unless you want to get them on sale

[flat gazelle]

unless you're willing to just throw that money

then go for it

[fair horizon]

but its a lot of added kerfluffle

[indigo barn]

was invading poland and these guys popped up outta nowhere mid invasion, and now that poland is annexed, they want to join axis and stuff, should I accept or should I just completely steamroll them and take rest of poland lol

[main geyser]

It’s only $15 rn

Is the starter edition worth it

It’s $3 more

[fair horizon]

go ahead unless you have a claim on them

[flat gazelle]

why are you invading poland before even getting austria or czechoslovakia 😭

[indigo barn]

they're so tiny i dont see any reason to not steamroll em

[icy crescent]

The Starter Edition does not add any new game mechanics.

[fair horizon]

go ahead with that

[main geyser]

What does it even add

[icy crescent]

Music and some Allies 3D models.

[zenith charm]

divizion azùl has been neutralised

[fair horizon]

actually what is even in it?

[flat gazelle]

and i think a shitty polish tree?

not sure tho

[fair horizon]

wait the starter edition os just bs lmao

[flat gazelle]

poland united and ready

[fair horizon]

its literally man the guns music and cosmetics now lmao

[flat gazelle]

there was something like that

[icy crescent]

No.
No new polish trees.

[main geyser]

So don’t get it

[icy crescent]

The starter pack originally added Man The Guns.
But that became free.

[fair horizon]

garbage value now

[flat gazelle]

wait am i seeing this right

theres a

fking

dlc

for

[fair horizon]

unless you really want your allied tanks to look pretty

[split sable]

out of curiosity, why "Mandatory Palestine" not just "Palestine"?

[flat gazelle]

soviet focus tree

icons

😭 😭 😭

[icy crescent]

Because it is under the control of the British.

[flat gazelle]

because it's a british mandate

[split sable]

Ah ok

[fair horizon]

bro what is that

they want $4 for some changed art

rt56 mods when they give away all their art for free in their mod:

[soft tendon]

I..

[indigo barn]

[ripe slate]

Theres actually an insane amount focus icons

[ripe slate]

Welcome

[icy crescent]

You are in the Allied Faction.

[soft tendon]

f

[icy crescent]

Therefore the rules of the Leader apply.
And the Leader is blue.

[fair horizon]

i like and hate the new ship icons in rt56

[ripe slate]

Rt56 has like 2195 focus icons and vanilla only has slightly more

[soft tendon]

thanks for helping ❤️

[fair horizon]

also tell someone to fix the radar focus in australia

[indigo barn]

ugh czechslovakia is guaranteed independance by france

[icy crescent]

c:

[fair horizon]

requires the radar tech to do the focus that gives the radar tech

[flat gazelle]

just do the focuses to get them?

[fair horizon]

did you decide to become the proud owner of 1 hoi4?

[zenith charm]

[fair horizon]

We dont do war like other countries, we are an unstoppable force

[orchid lily]

Bro am i actually gonna have to fight this civil war 😭

[flat gazelle]

why do we have15 carrier fighters

[orchid lily]

my country was so stable

[flat gazelle]

thats tuff

[orchid lily]

i don't wanna become a german puppet I CARRIED US THE WHOLE WAR

[fair horizon]

you should have 30, america sold them some

[flat gazelle]

prob lost half in the civil war

[fair horizon]

yeah

[flat gazelle]

i call this dropshipping

[orchid lily]

I CONQUERED THE BALKANS, AFRICA AND COVERED THEIR BEHINDS IN LIKE 50 NAVAL INVASIONS

and they can't even finish barbarossa...

[fair horizon]

thats the planes

probably used on the langley

[simple citrus]

yo gurt

[flat gazelle]

140 days til i can do something

[simple citrus]

yo

[orchid lily]

YES

MY GOAT IS BACK

[simple citrus]

the balkan war started

[flat gazelle]

1 bulgarian avarages over 1000 kills

[orchid lily]

What does being a puppet actually imply

[flat gazelle]

mad

[orchid lily]

like what do i lose

[simple citrus]

mofos killed 2 bulgars and lost 7k people

[ripe slate]

part of your factories/not being able to attack people independently/your warscore to your overlord

[fair horizon]

its like a dominion, depending on the level you lose certain things. if its low enough you lose factories to your overlord

[sudden thistle]

Rights

Factories

[simple citrus]

deadass not tuff bru

2 kills

[flat gazelle]

😭

[sudden thistle]

Political things

[orchid lily]

MY ARMIES

[simple citrus]

against 7k

[orchid lily]

MY GENERALS

[flat gazelle]

3,5k kills per bulgarian

[simple citrus]

one man army ahh shi

[orchid lily]

can someone actually tell me why a civil war triggered 😭

i had almost perfect stab and war support

[fair horizon]

that would go great next to my etruscan boar vessel

[flat gazelle]

bro who made this focus 70 adys

70 days to create a faction

that does nothing

[fair horizon]

paradox because they hate us having fun

[simple citrus]

monarchy is cooler than fascism

[fair horizon]

also because for some reason they expect you to puppet your cores

[twilit orchid]

Can anyone answer pls...

[simple citrus]

lampiao
mofos got a great leader shiii
socialist monarchy or sum shi

[simple citrus]

is there such a thing?

[flat gazelle]

ah yeah forgot about that

you get puppet wargoals for your cores

[fair horizon]

yeah ill puppet them (annex)

[simple citrus]

yea sounds good

releasing ur cores

to declare war on them

and then annex them

puppet maybe

[fair horizon]

no you dont have all your cores

dirty stinky entities like chile and all the other SA nations hold them

[simple citrus]

ew chile

[twilit orchid]

Yes , google "hoi4 boardgame"

[fair horizon]

but for some reason someone decided yeah your cores? you want puppet war goals

also they have your fleets too

[orchid lily]

yeah this just ruined the whole playthrough omg

[flat gazelle]

trucks are the only thing we have

[fair horizon]

POLISH MONARCHY 💪

[orchid lily]

half my army has just vanished and now my strongholds will collapse because a civil war started for literally no reason

no event chain no focus nothing

[fair horizon]

WINGED HUSSARS 🐴

[flat gazelle]

70 days to get a faction and 35 days to core the entire continent

sounds balanced paradox

[rose pumice]

assault engineer or armored engineer company for my tank divisions?

[fair horizon]

and another 70 days to declare war on half of them and then another 70 for the other ones

[brittle cypress]

just go with assault

Armored is better for defending

[rose pumice]

ok

thanks

[brittle cypress]

I’ve seen the discussion in which is better be controversial

[flat gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-life-a-bugs-life-bruh-not-smiling-ants-not-smiling-gif-8815283262918161887

never had them care about uruguay before

[fair horizon]

qookie skill issue

[flat gazelle]

i mean

i easily beat them

[fair horizon]

yeah it happens sometimes and it something to do with the pope or something

[flat gazelle]

its just annoying bcs i went for uruguay and paraguay at the same time

and now

i cant make a frontline

because paraguay is in the middle

[fair horizon]

i dont ever mess with paraguay until i have it encircled

river boat navy dont mess around

[rose pumice]

who should i rather promote to field marshal?

[fair horizon]

use one of the ones you already have?

[flat gazelle]

i mean

this works better for me anyway

they cant even cover the front

[fair horizon]

argentina civil war be like

[rose pumice]

i have both it just shows as grey cuz im in the field marshal selection thing

[fair horizon]

yeah use one of your already existing field marshals

dont promote them

[rose pumice]

oh

ok

[serene token]

How do I break through this?

[fair horizon]

more cas

like 10000 cas

and green air

[serene token]

I have green air

[fair horizon]

or super good mountaineers

[flat gazelle]

shouldnt have tried to be the heroes

[flat gazelle]

you dont

im sure it was worth it guys

protecting uruguay

actually just made the war easier for me

[fair horizon]

defensive war btw

or something like that

clearly you were just protecting yourself

[flat gazelle]

clearly

[fair horizon]

they just fell on the annex you were conveniently holding

[flat gazelle]

i'd never be the aggressor

we're just getting our cores back

[fair horizon]

my least favorite thing about south america IS PERU

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS JOIN THE AXIS IF I DONT CAPIUTULATE YOU IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH

[flat gazelle]

they never did for me

maybe its bcs of historical or smth

[fair horizon]

nah they do it on historical if you struggle

[flat gazelle]

only had france guarantee colombia once

[fair horizon]

cause they're fascist

[flat gazelle]

thats all i had in terms of problems in south america

[fair horizon]

i swear sometimes they do the fascist thing and dump 40 divs per tile (all of their manpower) on those mountains

[flat gazelle]

if only i had tanks researched

the industry is crazy

[orchid lily]

figured it out it was because i totally forgot about the balance of power feature, scum saved a few weeks before civil war because i am not playing like that

[fair horizon]

WHY ARENT YOU BUILDING A NAVY

[zenith charm]

Victory, Victory at All Costs!

[flat gazelle]

because idgaf about navy

i will steal the american one anyways

so whats the point

[orchid lily]

navy is lowk so fun

[zenith charm]

no

[orchid lily]

(for the 7 days you get to use it)

in my experience navy has been a cycle of: build for a year, train for 5 months, fight for 2 weeks, repair for 3 years and repeat

but idk i think it's more fun than air

air is so weird to me

[fair horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-cat-sad-cat-me-when-i-dont-get-orod-tickets-gif-14719271510681695442

[flat gazelle]

i agree air is so ass

i just follow a build from a random steam guide and it works

[fair horizon]

just build the same improved fighter till the end of time

[orchid lily]

i just throw fighters at my problems

it works sometimes

[flat gazelle]

bro idk what to use my factories for anymore

its too many

[fair horizon]

more ships

build dockyards

make more ships

build the greatest navy brazil has ever seen

[orchid lily]

MARE NOSTRUM

[fair horizon]

who cares about guns

[orchid lily]

15 docks on convoys too

[fair horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/battleship-gif-26936399

[orchid lily]

too bad you cant put 10 or 15 docks on capitals

this is my fleet what do you think?

reserve

[fair horizon]

im convinced people who dont care about ships is because their country doesnt have cool battleships

[fair horizon]

W, more cruisers for the fleet

[flat gazelle]

lowkey

too many

[orchid lily]

i think it's more because the country they choose is physically unable to make a decent navy

[flat gazelle]

take everything away from me

too much equipment for the army

[fair horizon]

nonsense

do you have a tile connecting to the ocean? then you're good

[flat gazelle]

i love selling foreign airforce

[orchid lily]

like playing as something like bulgaria or turkey can be fun but their navies suck booty

[orchid lily]

italy has a really decent starting fleet, most of my capitals come from the start of the game

[flat gazelle]

too bad the tanks get good in 1940

[fair horizon]

bulgaria has a naval tile

[orchid lily]

heavy or light?

[fair horizon]

hungary is just sol bad country

[fair horizon]

light

[orchid lily]

i found that heavy cruisers sink so damn easily

[fair horizon]

and more carriers too

[orchid lily]

not too sure about carriers

[fair horizon]

heavy cruisers are not heavy for any reason other than their guns

[orchid lily]

i suck with air 😭

[fair horizon]

dw navy doesnt care about stats

[orchid lily]

no i literally do not know how to manage my air both gameplay wise and logistic wise

[fair horizon]

build the crappiest naval bomber you can and it'll function as good as the best one you can

[orchid lily]

i'd probably lose air superiority everywhere

[quiet vessel]

im lowk so bored of hoi4 rn i have no dlcs and ive dried out all the mods💔🥀

[fair horizon]

navy doesnt care about superiority

[orchid lily]

how bro 💔

i've been so scared to approach carriers i havent even researched deck conversion 😭

it's 1945, is it too late to start researching them?

september 1945*

[sudden thistle]

Get dlc then 🔥

[sharp laurel]

it is time operation moscow activate

[flat gazelle]

[zenith charm]

[orchid lily]

makes me remember when a child gave me half their country's supply of something while they were getting railed by the brits

[flat gazelle]

i cant stand the soviets getting podlasie in this game istg

its so annoying

[flat gazelle]

give us back białystok 💔

[zenith charm]

in the mod the region looks goofy

[orchid lily]

no little bulgarian boy i do not need 12 bombers that's half your airforce 💔

[flat gazelle]

its the same in base game

[zenith charm]

that way it fits germany's maximum extension in 42

[zenith charm]

no its not

[flat gazelle]

HE'S JUST TRYING TO BE NICE OKAY

he doesnt know how to make friends

[flat gazelle]

ah makes sense

its to match the german occupation ig

[zenith charm]

otherwise i wouldnt mind

and hey i saved the poles during the warsaw uprising

and even let them stay independent

[flat gazelle]

unrealistic

you didnt leave us to die

stalin could never

[orchid lily]

bro 😭

was i supposed to say yes?

when THIS is their economy?

[flat gazelle]

im very grateful for the south american nations for making equipment for me to steal

[shut sable]

is there any war of 1812/ american civil war mid?

mod

[orchid lily]

chat how do i save this 💔

i do have an army coming south but idk if it's gonna do the job

[flat gazelle]

do you even have any ports there

[orchid lily]

i have one

and it's encircled

oh shit hold on

i might save it

i can connect to the support army

damn almost 20 divisions died

[flat gazelle]

bruh

i did not want to fight them yet 💔

[dusky burrow]

If your troops survive for 7 days you can naval land in Tunis

[orchid lily]

they all died bro 💔

[dusky burrow]

Oh

Oh

This situation is really bad

There's no supply

[orchid lily]

the ones in the middle blob evacuated

[dusky burrow]

The Allies somehow took every piece of land behind you

How?

[orchid lily]

the ones on the top blob died a bad death

[orchid lily]

beacause i looked elsewhere for 3 seconds and didnt get a naval invasion warning

[sharp sierra]

playing like real italian ai

[orchid lily]

bro i messed up once im carrying this war

[dusky burrow]

Oh there's a port in the middle blob, you can also naval land between the middle and bottom blob to evacuate those troops too

[flat gazelle]

i would love to know who's there

[slim nexus]

How generous

[orchid lily]

the middle blob evacauted and so we lost the port, the bottom blob is holding nicely for now and should be able to meet up with a support army before the big railing from the enemy arrivesù

[dusky burrow]

I see

[orchid lily]

CAN RUSSIA FALL ALREADY

I HAVE LIKE 48 REALLY GOOD DIVISIONS OVER THERE

this is the full picture btw

[sharp sierra]

slurp

[simple citrus]

uhhh so

[flat gazelle]

cant wait til we actually get the tank and air research done

[orchid lily]

port being built in gabes

[flat gazelle]

then the factories might actually be useful

[slim nexus]

please fix italy

[orchid lily]

is this a mod? what is it

[rose pumice]

lol

[dusky burrow]

Kaiserredux?

I think

[simple citrus]

vasic is an imbecile and a degenerate who didn't guard the belgrade
so
serbia capitulated
and i'm not forced to guard serbiam fromt anymore

[simple citrus]

kaiserreich

[ivory hull]

looks like kaiserreich

[slim nexus]

Kaiserreich is overrated

[ivory hull]

why do you have nato symbols on?

[dusky burrow]

Don't know of a Lombardia in Kaiserreich

[ivory hull]

kx is just better

[slim nexus]

Reich and redux are both overrated

[ivory hull]

nah

[slim nexus]

Tried em both and dont understand the hype

[dusky burrow]

What's your issue?

You can't break Thermopylae?

[ivory hull]

maybe because like every country has a decent to even big focus tree?

all with events

[slim nexus]

I get it

I just dont like the context and story

[ivory hull]

that doesnt mean the mod is bad tho

or overrated

[slim nexus]

I wouldve preferred if they did that set at like ww2

[ivory hull]

bro what

[slim nexus]

Mod isnt bad

Just overrated

[ivory hull]

play tno

or twr

its not overrated

you just personally dislike the setting

[slim nexus]

Literally what i said

[ivory hull]

that doesnt mean its overrated tho

[slim nexus]

It is in my opinion

[ivory hull]

mhhh

because you just dislike the mod

and dont actually compare it and put it into a neutral perspective

[slim nexus]

I think if they made it set on ww2 and revamped all focus trees and added the depth which they did then i believe it would be a great mod

[ivory hull]

bro what

like actually

[slim nexus]

Im comparing it to other mods ive played

[ivory hull]

it wouldnt make any sense then

wdym by ww2

[slim nexus]

It would?

Set it on ww2

[ivory hull]

like its all about how germany won ww1

[slim nexus]

I get that

But its not my cup of tea

[ivory hull]

like if germany won ww2?

i like actually do not get it

[slim nexus]

I dont like tno

[ivory hull]

play twr

[crisp wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/hoi4-hoi-hearts-of-iron4-hearts-of-iron-adrien-arcand-gif-25167469

[slim nexus]

Seems like an issue with your ability to comprehend stuff

[ivory hull]

bro, your saying that a what if germany won ww1 mod should be set in ww2, like it literally starts in 1936 and is about the ww2 of that perspective

[flat gazelle]

okay my entire plan now

is rushing mid tanks

getting them asap

and

trying to naval invade the brits

[loud shuttle]

wsg gang hows your current game going

[flat gazelle]

i have about a year

[simple citrus]

what the fukc

[loud shuttle]

accurate

[orchid lily]

dear Lord

[slim nexus]

I meant i wish they put the same work into a mod related to ww2, rather than an alt hist scenario. If they had put the same energy, money and development into such mod then i wouldve enjoyed it. It's literally personal preference

Considering it would also appeal to a bigger audience

[heady python]

Lore accurate

[slim nexus]

It would make sense for them

[ivory hull]

so you fully dislike kaiserredux and just want a mod with the same amount of content for a ww2 mod

[simple citrus]

no i was just absolutely horrified of the balkan war

[slim nexus]

I dont fully dislike kaiserredux, in all honesty i was turned away because of the country selection and then i clicke don a country and was turned away by that as well. I wish they hadve put the same amount of content into a hoi4 ww2 mod

[simple citrus]

is everything okay with my world

[simple citrus]

hoi4 ww2 mod
twin just play vanilla

[ivory hull]

i know what your talking about, but wouldnt a ww2 mod just fuel into the already existing ones? youve got rt56 with a big player base already

[slim nexus]

Yes

[simple citrus]

yea that too

[slim nexus]

Its not that far fetched lmao

[safe wing]

Monarchist Chile?

[slim nexus]

Hoi4 vanilla isnt the peak of content

[ivory hull]

so ignore the actual content and reason behind kaiserredux, and just demand an overhaul mod?

like bro what

[simple citrus]

mmmm monarchy

[slim nexus]

I think we can agree to that

[safe wing]

Most vanilla games aren’t

[slim nexus]

Wdym demand

[orchid lily]

GERMANY

[slim nexus]

Im expressing my personal opinion

[simple citrus]

no shit sherlock

[orchid lily]

YOU HAVE A SURPLUS OF 200K YOU GREEDY BAS

[slim nexus]

If most people like it then keep it of course

[ivory hull]

didnt wanna say otherwise

[safe wing]

Empire at war, and total war have medicore vanilla games with goated mods

[slim nexus]

??? Whats ur point then, if its not the peak then make an overhaul

[simple citrus]

no

[flat gazelle]

in 40 days ill start making tanks

i expected it to be later ngl

[simple citrus]

don't

[slim nexus]

I prefer ww2 and historical scenarios, you prefer alt hist scenarios and i respect it

[ivory hull]

there are already existing overhauls with a very large player base

[flat gazelle]

i have to

[slim nexus]

I dont like rt56

[flat gazelle]

so i can speedrun britain

[safe wing]

I have notes on a France rework somewhere

[flat gazelle]

and make usa/mexico much easier

[simple citrus]

i don't make any tanks at all as bulgaria

[simple citrus]

am i an imbecile

[flat gazelle]

because as bulgaria you have the industry worth about 2 snickers bars

[safe wing]

You can not cap and become vichy or free france and continue the war in Algeria

[simple citrus]

3

[safe wing]

Which was an actual plan

[simple citrus]

84 fabrics in 41

[ivory hull]

you could in theory just add a lot of overhauls together and just make a big playset

[safe wing]

But you still have all the alt history scenarios of vanilla just better

[flat gazelle]

all i want for vanilla atp is a rework for ahistorical

make it less cancerous

[crisp wyvern]

since someone mentioned mexico here, they went through 4 different revolutions during my central america playthrough against the democrats, catholics and fascists

[safe wing]

Same

[flat gazelle]

and make the german ai not get stuck with the military junta

[sharp sierra]

make it more cancerous

[crisp wyvern]

and after those 4 revolutions, they declared on me and went on the defensive

[simple citrus]

can we make a mod where uh hitler fails and like uh germany loses ww2 and ww1

[simple citrus]

that'd be pretty cool

[safe wing]

I hate that alot

[crisp wyvern]

in the end, america and i jumped mexico from both sides

[safe wing]

Just go anything but junta Germany

[crisp wyvern]

partioned mexico and then left and refused to elaborate

[simple citrus]

or like make a mod with a huge historical change

uh

[safe wing]

I hope you guys like two Napoleonic France subpaths

[simple citrus]

kokoomus restores monarchy in finland

[flat gazelle]

please give me another mod where the allies lose ww2

there is NOT enough of them ‼️

and it is SO original ‼️

[safe wing]

One emulating Napoleon I (war) or Napoleon III diplomacy

[simple citrus]

ew war

hate war

[safe wing]

You ally UK and Italy on the last one

[flat gazelle]

war in my game about war? ew

[simple citrus]

why war if can not for

can not war*

[safe wing]

And get alot of stability

[sharp sierra]

how bout one where italy wins ww1 and its like a wannabe roman empire

[simple citrus]

do not war war bad

[flat gazelle]

ww2 solved

[safe wing]

Someone made a scenario where Rome (somehow) never fell

[flat gazelle]

get this guy in ukraine

[safe wing]

Because Belisarius restored the west somehow

[simple citrus]

guess what

[safe wing]

Even though it’s grossly unrealistic that that would ever happen

[simple citrus]

age of the steam machines

[flat gazelle]

why am i seeing a german naval invasion of palestine

[safe wing]

1936 is exactly the same as 1936 just with different nations and borders

[simple citrus]

lookin for the last bastion of 🧃

[safe wing]

Which I dislike

[simple citrus]

what

[safe wing]

Because 1936 doesn’t always = 1936

[flat gazelle]

YESSSSSSSSSS

[simple citrus]

aotsm happens in 1800's

[flat gazelle]

BRAZILL

[simple citrus]

i forgot when exactly

[safe wing]

Not talking about that one

[simple citrus]

oh uh

[orchid lily]

did i miss something 😭

wheres hitler boy

[simple citrus]

but that's a scenario where rome is standing tall and proud

[flat gazelle]

bro i promise trinidad is not that important

[safe wing]

Im talking about a Roman world

Its brand new

Kinda wish someone made a mod where the Western Roman Empire survives and east falls instead

[simple citrus]

"just be hitler" brutal.

[simple citrus]

ew

[safe wing]

Probably would work better as an eu4 mod

[sharp sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/frisbee-catch-john-travolta-gif-16055863

[simple citrus]

i'd rather kill myself than exist in a world where such a mod exists

[flat gazelle]

bro why do you have so many songs to send

[safe wing]

Why its more original than x country wins x war

[flat gazelle]

its a ww2 game

[simple citrus]

have something against it?

[safe wing]

The western Roman Empire would still be in a horrible condition in 1444 btw

[flat gazelle]

why make a mod about something that happened so long before

[safe wing]

Fair

My idea is for eu4 though

[flat gazelle]

it wasnt at first

[safe wing]

Which is more in line with the timeframe

[flat gazelle]

i love waiting for army xp

its so fun

[simple citrus]

oh right it's a mod where x country puts down x nationality and stays kinda alive

[flat gazelle]

i only need 125 more

[robust spruce]

Always knew heinrich himmler is a genocidal nerd

[pallid zephyr]

how do i make it so my divisions attack a tile but they dont move to it?

[simple citrus]

wanna play a mod about rhodesia?

[simple citrus]

you don't

[flat gazelle]

no it was possible

i forgot how tho

[safe wing]

Puts down? Nah more like slowly declines Germany is united as the Kingdom of Germany

[robust spruce]

in kaiserreich is there a global war?

[brittle cypress]

Control right click an already ongoing battle

[safe wing]

Most of the roman army was Germanic by the 4th century anyways

[brittle cypress]

if you just control click to start the battle it won’t work

[pallid zephyr]

ok

[brittle cypress]

You should see blue arrow

Not red

[safe wing]

Foedorati

The Visigoths and Franks were basically given land and money in exchange for military service

[flat gazelle]

its 1940 and im getting 1926 planes

[safe wing]

Rome did this because they had manpower shortages thanks to serfdom

[flat gazelle]

i love brazil

[safe wing]

International market?

[toxic lotus]

whats a ggood heavy td tank template too use as france in mp

[ivory hull]

ww2 between france, uk, germany and russia

[safe wing]

Brazil IRL didn’t have the economy or industry to produce their own designs

They usually bought them from foreign countries

Most Brazilian wwii equipment was american made and given via lend lease

Brazil almost joined the Axis irl too

Well more like they toyed with the idea

Before joining the allies

[pallid zephyr]

[simple citrus]

[safe wing]

DNVP wins the election of 1932 and fights the USSR via realpoltik and war

[flat gazelle]

thats the point

you have to be

[safe wing]

They have a Bismarck like character as leader

[indigo barn]

OH

lol i took that the other way

[safe wing]

I ended the story in 1940 on a cliffhanger with Germany and the USSR about to go to war

[heavy vigil]

Exactly

You need to be at war with a major country

[safe wing]

There is no canon ending btw

[simple citrus]

mmm made a sandwich with 9 slices of cheese 2 tomato slices some ham and lettuce

They were stalemated against the Ptolomies

[patent thistle]

they still had a chance to rebound for a bit

[simple citrus]

what's even africa nova nru

[orchid lily]

some allied fairy tale

[patent thistle]

egypt wasnt doing great either during the war

[safe wing]

True but Antiochus IV wrecked that

[orchid lily]

this is all germany's fault for being an incompetent idiot in barbarossa

[safe wing]

Basically a roman client state

[maiden inlet]

Well i see that germany has most major cities of russia

Non?

[patent thistle]

no shit the ruling dynasty wasnt just controversial because of that alone

[flat gazelle]

i just need 1 lucky day

[orchid lily]

i literally had to dump like 48 really good divisions in russia for germany to advance

[maiden inlet]

Oh

[orchid lily]

plus they had to concentrate on literally only one front

[safe wing]

I read that the Ptolomies were more inbred than the hapsburgs

[orchid lily]

i was covering their coasts and they had no other battles

[simple citrus]
