[safe wing]

I remember seeing this commerical on TV

back in like 2009

[sharp sierra]

reeses puffs reeses puffs

peanut butta chocolate flavor

[safe wing]

I wasn't a big cereal person

[sharp sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dubbbz-tv-dance-green-suit-green-gif-5074759

[safe wing]

I was more into ego waffles with microwave sausage but the premimum brand stuff which was real meat btw

[sharp sierra]

this is my favorite cereal

[safe wing]

I tried that and I didn't like it but to each their own

then again that was 12 years ago

and my taste buds have changed alot

[sharp sierra]

its so good u have to be satanist

i dont compromise

[safe wing]

I'm gonna try again

[near schooner]

are mechanized inf good?

[safe wing]

anyone know what country this flag belongs too

[sharp sierra]

yea pretty good ig

when its in with tanks

[safe wing]

lasted from the 450's-486

its not the Roman Empire

[near schooner]

eastern roman empire?

idk

[safe wing]

Kingdom of Soissons

[near schooner]

and when its not?

[sharp sierra]

still good it boosts the defense stat a lot

[safe wing]

basically the last hold out of the Western Roman Empire

or second to last

depends on how Roman you consider the Romano-Moorish Kingdom to be, even you even believe they existed which in itself is debated

possible extent of Soissons btw

we don't even know the exact borders of this country

[near schooner]

hmmm

idk

[sharp sierra]

better stats by a long shot but that configuration might not be worth it

it would defend anything but if u wanna attack then make it bigger and add a few tanks if you want or just use special forces

but i dont have the secret recipe just do what u want

[near schooner]

i think this is better

but the problem is the org

[sharp sierra]

the arty is no good

[near schooner]

yeah

i will put tanks instead arty

[sharp sierra]

the division without arty has more soft attack per width than with the arty

[near schooner]

stop giving me divisions

[near schooner]

really? idk how that works

[sharp sierra]

well the arty has 3 combat width per battalipn which is no good

theres also terrain debuffs and supply issues etc people dnt like it

[sharp sierra]

the battalion arty just becomes worse as you get better infantry equip

is all

[near schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/the-punisher-wait-wait-wait-no-no-no-wait-wait-wait-no-no-gif-3953145018746293549

with level 1 equip its not too bad

yea i cant stand the raid mechanic

[safe wing]

what should I add when I get drop tanks researched

[sharp sierra]

dive brakes ig

or maybe nothing

me with cas is like eh itll bomb them

i know nothin

[safe wing]

i thought i could have the cores

[gusty oracle]

yeah commie germany gets 0 cores

its so powerful anyway though

[near schooner]

it doesnt make sense but okay paradox

[near schooner]

[static crescent]

can anyone explain me why I don't get an increase non core manpower like the supreme leader tooltip says?

[near schooner]

mmm im not attacking stalin in a while

[wet plover]

The other allies are finally coming to help invade Germany

Took em long enough

[warped flint]

I just realized, I have never played the UK

[hexed furnace]

For some reason this reminds me of when Hungary somehow managed to take over all of the Soviet Union (They didn't even do anything, they just got it all after the Germans made the Soviet Union capitulate.)

[fair horizon]

chat can operatives even gain levels?

i love my spotting cruisers

[near schooner]

why not one task force with all of them

[fair horizon]

so they can spot multiple regions

also the task force is under a different admiral

i had a spotting admiral

[dusky burrow]

Mech divisions are mostly defensive divisions as they have high defense and HP values

You can also rush them into undefended territory

[near schooner]

i used them as regular inf and they were good ngl

[dusky burrow]

Basically yeah

[near schooner]

better than normal inf

and making mechs is cheap

i had like 100 factories building them lol

[dusky burrow]

You'd be better off just adding more mech instead of artillery, as line artillery is not useful in even a normal infantry build

[near schooner]

yeah i deleted the arty+

[dusky burrow]

Mech has 10% more soft attack and 500% more hard attack

(yeah it is really 500)

So yeah rip mech

[dusky burrow]

[ruby flame]

or they need to be highlighted in peace conference screens

[woven raft]

Yes

German?!?!

I think they dislike France smh

[ruby flame]

were you spreading frrom german territory?

[woven raft]

Nah

I mean kinda?
But I owned it

since when can france attack from a neutral country?

[near schooner]

no what

[fair horizon]

i killed the enterprise

[near schooner]

my brain not braining i still dont understand lol

[fair horizon]

i like the enterprise

[near schooner]

oki

OHH because the star trek thing?

[fair horizon]

how to confuse non-naval players

[near schooner]

why u use the scout separately and not in one task force?

[fair horizon]

because that admiral has scouting perks

[near schooner]

i mean in one task force ughh idk how to explain it

[fair horizon]

i know

i have it that way so i can scout in regions i choose and dont necessarily have my specific fleet going to

also because i dont need that admiral to have combat stats

so its a crappy level like 3 admiral that britian starts with

but it only needs those specific bonuses

because i can use another admiral to command my other combat fleets

[near schooner]

oooou

[woven raft]

End result

[near schooner]

[warped flint]

Then restart

[stiff zinc]

Well

Rip

Damn it

I had such a good run with a quick civil war too 😭

[warped flint]

Why does poland reject met taking some territory, but instead gives the soviets have their country????

[slim nexus]

So tha tthry dont have to fight soviets

Hahahha most middle finger ai ever

[fair horizon]

you're stinky is why

[warped flint]

💔

[dusky burrow]

A -> B -> C -> A
Imagine A to be their allies, B to be a neutral where they have military access, and C to be the enemy

Their goal is to get back to allied territory, but the shortest path takes them through both neutral and enemy territory

[wanton whale]

You hunting those fleets, you go girl

is it worth buying the new expansion pass?

[tiny iris]

Yes

Everything Paradox does is good.

[slow sapphire]

Does anyone know how the game turns out if germany doesn’t invade poland until some years after 39 like in 43 or 45?

[fallen vigil]

is this a mod?

[indigo violet]

Nope

Götterdämmerung dlc

[fallen vigil]

how do i get it then it looks cool

i have the dlc

[indigo violet]

Monarch path, instead of getting the kaiser back you elevate the military

Should be a mutual exclusive focus right next to the kaiser focus

[fallen vigil]

so thats what that was for

right

thanks

[indigo violet]

Np

[tiny iris]

I think I may have underestimated my enemies

[fallen vigil]

god i hate invading the UK in the gtdm dlc

its genuinely hell

[wraith fractal]

it is

[fallen vigil]

idk what happened it used to be sooo much easier

now its a supply hell hole

and the british ai isnt dumb

anymore

[wraith fractal]

why arent their troops in afrika

[icy crescent]

UK is more reliable with the Navy now and puts more coastal guards on the island.

They are coded to have a priority on guarding the main island.

[fallen vigil]

i capped them already but i found a better tactic

if i puppet france

britain will send a lot of torops in africa

i wont call france in the war

and itll be much easier

[wraith fractal]

i remember playing hoi4 with my friend

and he (being a dumbass in hoi4 mechanics) forgot to cover air

and i easily paradropped in paris, calais and orleans

easiest mp cap

[tiny iris]

I always forget air and i have over 300 hours in the game.

[flat gazelle]

i agree, somehow they can perma push with 0 org

but if your inf is good enough it should hold their counter

time to continue this run

will be hell trying to push through china and siberia

[wraith fractal]

try 1400

and i always forget navy

most crucial part

i don want any landings on me like tf u mean

[misty fossil]

dont put your entire army group there?

[snow rain]

I mean, they now defend their country
does that makes it harder ? definitely
does it make sense ? absolutely

[tiny iris]

Guys, do you join factions. It seems like they are rarely needed.

[misty fossil]

no

i mean

no

nah

[misty fossil]

me when people fight back

[snow rain]

supply didn't change though. If you have supply issues then you're getting raided on your way in or are overstacking your troops. In both cases it's on you for not planning things better

[misty fossil]

yeah

[snow rain]

I prefer not to. Even when I play hist france for example, I never join the allies because I want to avoid the flood of allied troops when I push in belgium

[misty fossil]

at the very least you can make medium naval bombers

to deal with the subs

[ivory hull]

they literally have like no equipment, if youd battleplan with air you wil literally cap them

[flat gazelle]

this is

surprisingly

not that awful

i expected the supply to be absolutely tragic

[misty fossil]

well you lost vladivostok

so it is absolutely tragic

[flat gazelle]

lost as if it was mine

i took it from germany in the peace deal

while at war with japan

[misty fossil]

oh

rip

[flat gazelle]

couldnt exactly prevent losing it

and the supply is actually decent somehow

at least better than the japanese

[misty fossil]

not too bad then

[flat gazelle]

loses estimated at about 15 dollars

[misty fossil]

monetary equivalent of 15 grains of rice

[flat gazelle]

why is the entire army of japan protecting somalia 🥀

[misty fossil]

kill them

[flat gazelle]

they'll end up like the 1000 axis divs

25mil casualties prisoners of war

[fringe shell]

thx

[flat gazelle]

the japanese will is truly unbreakable

76% stab and 86% war support after losing 11 milion men and getting nuked like 10 times

[valid prairie]

at some point honour turns into stupidity

[robust spruce]

Crazy

The Japanese will to fight never breakable

[safe wing]

gonna play Austria Hungary as Hungary or the Fascist King if Austria gets Otto

[flat gazelle]

do you guys think thats enough?

[snow rain]

no, you'll be lacking them in a year if you start launching

[flat gazelle]

i didnt know that was an event

[patent thistle]

give me one reason why i should EVER side with japan?

[eternal palm]

Every city gets this event when it's the first nuke of the game

[robust spruce]

How did this happen

[robust spruce]

What mod is this

[flat gazelle]

it isnt the first tho

[lime meadow]

The fire rises I think

Idk

[flat gazelle]

and it is obviously not the generic one where it just inserts the state name

[eternal palm]

Maybe cuz its capital? Idk

[flat gazelle]

because it calls sweden the venice of the north

stockholm*

[eternal palm]

Oh right

[flat gazelle]

also maybe because

[eternal palm]

Pdx shilling for Sweden smh

[flat gazelle]

paradox is from sweden

[robust spruce]

did it nuke stockholm cause the ai is not historical lol

[rose prawn]

which one are you

constitutional states or

the union

[flat gazelle]

i nuked

[robust spruce]

OH

what happens if u turn off historical in a hoi4 game @flat gazelle

[flat gazelle]

i mean

idek how to answer bruh its just not historical

the ai takes diff paths

[robust spruce]

does it turn into chaos

[flat gazelle]

yeah most of the time

dont worry guys

the geneva convention was simply never translated into portuguese

only japan left

[patent thistle]

welp, japan just got cooked, hard.

[bright arrow]

hitler is loosing a 1v1 against austria hungary lmao

[patent thistle]

tbf austria hungary is quite strong in this form and germany is still weak

[onyx jolt]

no anchluss or sudetenland = shit germany

[patent thistle]

basically sumarised it for me

[flat gazelle]

its just a little naval invasion

[patent thistle]

what doesnt help here is that here the czech army and the small austrian and hungarian armies are basically fighting together, and the czechs alone can hold germany for quite a while

[bright arrow]

Why does Poland invade Lithuania but always leaves that one bit of coastline

They basically lock themselves out of Polish Lithuania

[patent thistle]

not enough warscore maybe?

[bright arrow]

On a 1v1?

Now i need to figure out a strategy to kill sweden as Denmark

They have like 40 divs

[sudden thistle]

Japanese Norway and Ireland?

[flat gazelle]

28 mil dead

[flat gazelle]

no clue ngl

[sudden thistle]

Kill Norway first

also

[dusky willow]

a programmer? yeah

1 million!

[rose prawn]

can you check messages If no problems

[flat gazelle]

eh ill have to load up an old version then

[atomic grove]

highly recommend that after u kill wales and u want to go for the uk after the achivement for some reason, change all your divs into one anti air battallion for extra cheese

[atomic grove]

no it still works

in the current ver

u dont need to

[flat gazelle]

ffs i just closed the game 😭

but yeah alr good to know

but wait are you sure

[atomic grove]

if that doesnt work then do that

[flat gazelle]

because

if im not mistaken

he uses a naval invasion from spain

and you cant do that anymore i think

nvm

[dusky willow]

ive been doing all this on civ economy btw lmfao

[flat gazelle]

he's at war with them together

[flat gazelle]

based

[dusky willow]

when does germany go in on the soviet union?

[buoyant rivet]

is hard attack useless against normal infantry?

[atomic grove]

mid 1941

for some reason japan also goes for the philippines in mid 1941 as well

[dusky willow]

okay im coming up to march 41 and the relief would be nice

[atomic grove]

even though they are supposed to do that in late 1941

[misty fossil]

Yes

[atomic grove]

hopefully that gets fixed in the new dlc

[misty fossil]

hard attack applies against hardness

[dusky willow]

most normal netherlands playthru

[misty fossil]

its like shooting someone with an apfsds shot

i mean it hurts but

[buoyant rivet]

so the meta tank destroyer divisions are not actually meta for singleplayer

they are useless outside of multiplayer

[dusky willow]

holy divisons

this is the most fun ive had playing hoi4 in ages

[flat gazelle]

defending is surprisingly fun in this game

[dusky willow]

its july, but the germnas havent attacked the soviet union - is it because western europe is still alive?

[tiny iris]

Well, Hitler's idea for attacking the west was to avoid a 2 front war.

[dusky willow]

they havent even broke nthe non aggresion pact, the relief would be incrdibly appreciated

[pure nexus]

тут за русский не банят?

[tiny iris]

English only

[humble carbon]

(

[pure nexus]

why you no international player?(((

[humble carbon]

SLAVA KPSS!

[tiny iris]

That's why they won't attack the USSR. They won't want to give you that relief.

[cold owl]

ss

[dusky willow]

just incredily annoying :/

[tiny iris]

You thought HOI4 was gonna be easy?

It mostly is.

But its not CK3.

[icy crescent]

Collaboration Government's color is the same of the master nation.
I thought it was the case for Integrated Puppets too. That's false.

[pure nexus]

who play mp with my custom mod?

[dusky willow]

japan declared on the phillipines, waiting on america to join ow

[tiny iris]

Its probably shitty. Else you wouldn't promote it.

Not in the discord HOI4 server.

[pure nexus]

no,vanila upgrade

[icy crescent]

What is your mod about?

[oak kestrel]

So if i want to use like 4 paratroopers how many transport planes i need?

[trim pike]

200

[pure nexus]

ussr can core baltic,all countries now no have mutually_exclusive in army/fleet focuses

[oak kestrel]

so its 50 per unit?

[icy crescent]

You need 50 to be allowed to paradrop.
And 200 to make all drops at the same time.

[rose siren]

https://tenor.com/view/elrond-egld-nft-crypto-blockchain-gif-26551666

[trim pike]

[oak kestrel]

ok

[rose siren]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-reacting-response-answer-reply-gif-14579392

[icy crescent]

Nice. c:
Unfortunately not a sov player.

[rose siren]

lmao so a demo player?

[icy crescent]

Not a UK or USA player either, no.

[tiny iris]

Bulgaria greatest naiton in HOI4. Its such an easy defendable country.

[rose siren]

ahhhhh the good old tanu tuva player

lets go

[pure nexus]

I will repeat that all countries have army and navy focuses available, and there are no mutual exclusions between Germany and Hungary, for example

[rose siren]

and a very nice focus tree to for its age

[tiny iris]

Better than Italy's. Who goes the communistic Italy path anyways.

BBA was such a dissapointment but taking navies are so important

If you're Norway, you need to take navies to invade Britain.

[dusky willow]

The US finally joined the war

[rose siren]

i never play italy

[dusky willow]

oh lets gooo

[rose siren]

https://tenor.com/view/american-dad-good-morning-usa-good-morning-morning-good-morning-america-gif-22170867

[icy crescent]

Italy has some funny options.
You can release Libya as a puppet and allow it to form Maghreb and Arabia.
Style Points.

[dusky willow]

i need the us troops to help reinforce desperately 😭

here they come

[tiny iris]

Mussolini just frustrates me. I can be in the middle of a war then Mussolini wants me to research some stupid focus or make a bunch of uneccessart equipment and when I don't do it, i get a bunch of debuffs.

He wants me to invade Greece when it is my ally.

So this is how the Italian high command felt.

[robust spruce]

Bro I hate winning the war as axis

[tiny iris]

Prob not, they were as incompetent.

[robust spruce]

CAUSE UK JUST CAPIUTALED AND GAVE EVEYTHING TO Germany

[oak kestrel]

What is trickleback?

"all infantry trickleback + 0,2%"

[strange silo]

Is navy getting another rework?

[icy crescent]

How many casualties goes back to the divisions.
Instead of losing 50 men, you lose like 40 or whatever the % says.

[rose siren]

mussolini was incompetent, it is fun to get rid of him but staying fascist

[tiny iris]

Yes, they stole man the guns from me. I paid for that DLC.

[tiny iris]

I like to make him a field marshal. I think its so funny. He is terrible btw.

[strange silo]

Great. Well hopefully I'll still be able to do torpedo spam to ignore learning it

[rose siren]

lmao just like himmler as field marshal hahaha

[rose siren]

same

[tiny iris]

You are forced to use the navy designer now. Hope you're happy.

[strange silo]

Back to old world blues I retreat

[icy crescent]

Kind of sadistic of Paradox to give all the players the Navy designer for free.

[dusky willow]

what the hell france?

[tiny iris]

I think it is good cuz else it will be like the sims where all dlcs costs over 1k dollars together. But it annoys me the ones who bought MTG don't get any compensation.

[strange silo]

I already spent 300usd on stellaris i cant with hoi4 lol

[tiny iris]

Me when italy naval invades the UK:

[icy crescent]

DLC becoming free isn't new.
My friends originally bought Waking the Tiger and Together for Victory and all the other integrated DLCs when they were new.
No compensation there either.

[rose siren]

dont blame france.... Its the italians that are cheating by starting a new front

[icy crescent]

Nice for new players.
Bad for the veterans and the players that helped the game becoming big.

[fringe shell]

HEY

guys

look

[tiny iris]

If you become a big HOI4 youtuber, paradox will give you all DLCs for free.

[fringe shell]

wth

why is it free?

[icy crescent]

Because it became free like one or two weeks ago.

That's not news anymore.

[fringe shell]

on god yesterday i could buy it

for money

[icy crescent]

On another website other than Steam and Paradox?
Your loss.

[bright arrow]

My entire army is stuck in Austria Hungary

How do i get exiled divisions back?

[icy crescent]

Usually they leave and try to get back.
Try asking for military access.

[bright arrow]

They wont give me

My troops are just standing there, and they cant comeback

Possibly cuz Austria Hungary doesn't have a port

[dusky willow]

oh my god france is so cooked

[icy crescent]

Yeah, if they are really stuck and landlocked, then you are stuck.

Sorry to hear that.

[lapis snow]

try getting access to someone that borders them

[icy crescent]

Could you screenshot?

[bright arrow]

Bad game design, anyways i used cheats to give AH a port province

Then they started moving

[paper echo]

well well well

[bright arrow]

Troops should at least teleport back to the capital at the end of a war if they are stuck in another country

[paper echo]

of course france falls

french classic

[icy crescent]

99% it isn't an issue.
But that 1%.

[flat gazelle]

couldve used the tp command

[dusky willow]

ok the US has finally dedicated troops to it

[icy crescent]

Or the yesman command.

[dusky willow]

they may be saving france

ok theyre being pushed back from paris, using expeditionary forces

[robust spruce]

To Italy btw

[dusky willow]

ok thats 10 italian divs destroyed

first time im actually playing competently :kke

[robust spruce]

I’m doing fascist Brazil and I’ve never been this mad before

[flat gazelle]

get in

first chile achievement

[dusky willow]

FRANCE CAPPED

THE BLOODY FRENCH

[icy crescent]

Let's goooo.

[dusky willow]

this play through may be cooked

i dont think germany is going to declare on the soviets

[robust spruce]

W

goddamn French pmo

[robust spruce]

As holland hows the Dutch east indies doing

[dusky willow]

not capituated

and java is completely unoccupied

[random snow]

facist much?

[rose prawn]

hold on

what is that flag?

I never saw that benelux flag before

[dusky willow]

Benelux Federation

[rose prawn]

ohh I never saw that

also does france still has their disjointed government

[robust spruce]

guys

[patent thistle]

what have i created-

[robust spruce]

can u take over the uk as British union fascists in 1936

[flat gazelle]

i love capitalism

[patent thistle]

.

[flat gazelle]

all infantry soviets are boring ngl

[robust spruce]

Bru I thought India was independent in 1936 didn’t know they became independent In 1948

[brittle cypress]

Was I a little dismissive? Yes that was wrong, but if you’re asking what the TD design is (not even asking for the build) then you’re gonna end with 3 divisions by war that have 300 hard in combat

Something like mass mob would work a lot better

[bright arrow]

wtf happened in China

[patent thistle]

hey if it works, it works.

[patent thistle]

thats what happends if a warlord claims chinese leadership and the nationalists refuse, as to what the hell happend to yunnan properly the nationalists trying to puppet them and then refuses

[robust spruce]

Can u choose the outcome of ww2 in road to 56?

[icy crescent]

The outcome?
No.

[bright arrow]

They were all on the Chinese Inited Front, last time i checked, and then i come back to this. Everyone is at peace

[icy crescent]

Steering into the correct direction with buffing nations maybe.

[bright arrow]

Japan reorganized China in Shanxi and Shaanxi, Guanxi got Annexed, but somehow survived in Ma Clique, Yunnan Somehow got bigger, and Kai Shek is now the CC CLique

[patent thistle]

ma clique and sinkjang dont get turned into reorganized china

and shanxi like said eariler properly claimed chinese leadeship

[bright arrow]

Shanxi is gone, thats the Reorganized China

[twin tusk]

man this game is ass

[twin tusk]

I have 1300 hours on it

I haven't played for like 3-4 years I told myself I'll go back

[cursive sorrel]

1300 hours too many my friend

[twin tusk]

how tf did I play so much of this game

[patent thistle]

if they do that it turns into china

[twin tusk]

I just played as germany buffed everything to the max and keep in mind I don't remember anything

I tried to play a historical game I just accidentally destroyed the uk and france

[patent thistle]

dont forget you pay taxes tho

[bright arrow]

But they were all on the United Front, and then somehow died, and then everything became like this

[flat gazelle]

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

[bright arrow]

Japan barely took a chunk of china

[twin tusk]

like fr compare hoi4 to eu4

[flat gazelle]

imagine paying taxes

[twin tusk]

there is just so little content

so few mechanics

[flat gazelle]

hoi4 mods > eu4 mods tho

[twin tusk]

it's just a shit game how do people like it

[ebon wolf]

How to gain autonomy fast?

[flat gazelle]

but i agree eu4 is better

[flat gazelle]

then dont play it lol

[twin tusk]

like how tf

[bright arrow]

Thats because you like it

Thats 2 months straight of gameplay

You could have probably become a doctor, but chose hoi4

[twin tusk]

yeah 1300 hours is well over a year in university

effort wise

[random snow]

I have about the same time

[flat gazelle]

https://tenor.com/view/dj-khaled-another-one-one-gif-5057861

[random snow]

plot twist im reunifieing china as germany with volunteers

[dusky willow]

the germans are finally commpasing

collapsing

in france that is

[flat gazelle]

28 left

[bright arrow]

I think next dlc will be huge, just because of how bad the Asia side of the game currently is

[little gazelle]

lets hope they test run it this time 👍

[flat gazelle]

[bright arrow]

Oh god, i have 1600h

my spies are amazing at their job

[dusky willow]

oughhh what an encirclement

[flat gazelle]

historical france 🔥

because i want to take a break from achievements

[bright arrow]

Historical paths can be pretty fun because of the larp

[rose siren]

good job amilie!

[dusky willow]

what does larp even mean

[safe wing]

Live action role play

[dusky willow]

ah i see

[flat gazelle]

live action roleplay but in hoi4 community its just playing realistically ig

[safe wing]

Not even the correct term tbh

Correct term would be roleplaying

[rose prawn]

wait so

did france lost

and then vichy france was established?

[dusky willow]

yes

[rose prawn]

did the american divisions liberated themself

[dusky willow]

Not anymore tho!!!

we're so back

[rose prawn]

re you still alive

[dusky willow]

yes

the dutch, have held

[rose prawn]

wonder how german has resources

peak netherlands

nice encirclement

why dont you attack to

friesland now

so you can expand the front

[dusky willow]

i wanna unify with the french front

[rose prawn]

forcing germans to withdraw forces near luxembourg

[dusky willow]

then ill setup an attack order

[rose prawn]

do you have EU decisions

[dusky willow]

no not right now annoyifnly

[rose prawn]

haven't you gone democratic

[dusky willow]

yeah

i have the choice to MAKE the EU

[rose prawn]

make sure to steal german and italian navy

[dusky willow]

yeah no im good

[rose prawn]

then refit their cruisers

[dusky willow]

im good thanks

[sudden thistle]

U got it

[rose prawn]

dang so only you will take germany

then call it off

well I managed to beat british and US navy as netherlands but

well I failed to push them at france

because they had billion division each

[dusky willow]

time to go o nthe offensive

[rose prawn]

BERNARD'S COUNTEROFFENSIVE

Wish netherlands could activate bakker schut plan

[dusky willow]

yeqah we aint pushing

htr germans have reinforced to hell

that probably doesnt help

[willow plume]

i thought u may be running a bit low on infantry equipment

7.7k surplus trucks

bruh thats a lot

btw guys how hard and complicated is the black ice mod ?

[dusky willow]

apparently very

the french

let the germans

break through again

og mty god

[rose prawn]

why no tanks

[flat gazelle]

i love the fact i can hire myself

[rose prawn]

let tanks push ngl

[slim nexus]

Netherlands is so weak

Belgiums better

Netherlands is weak cause of research

[slim nexus]

Thats what i like to call a dictatorship

[willow plume]

what?

i thought the netherlands would be stronger

[slim nexus]

They have like no starting research

[willow plume]

theyre the larger country right?

[dusky willow]

break thru!

[willow plume]

very good

[dusky willow]

hell yeah

[slim nexus]

And its very difficult to get a research slot as the netherlands

[dusky willow]

not rlly

[slim nexus]

Starting off yes

[slim nexus]

Kinda is

It takes a while

Netherlands is quicker to form the benelux however yourte kinda locked to democracy if you wanna do that

But the research just kills you

[dusky willow]

to berlin!

[slim nexus]

I personalyl prefer belgium

[willow plume]

bruh playing as a democracy is no fun

u cant declare wars

[robust spruce]

What difficulty

[dusky willow]

regular ironman

[robust spruce]

Nice

[amber finch]

next payday ill buy Hoi4

[robust spruce]

I don’t like Ironman I’ll try it soon tho

[dusky willow]

[slim nexus]

Play facist belgium

[robust spruce]

Bruh black ice isn’t updated

So I can’t play it

[flat gazelle]

"me cant declare wars me no have fun"

[robust spruce]

I can dominate on regular but still idk how to naval invade I do know but I forgot

[slim nexus]

Thats usually how it goes with singleplayer

[dusky willow]

gatess of berlin lets gooo

[willow plume]

damn thats mean

[robust spruce]

Ye I can see ur losing

[willow plume]

well thats kinda the point of hoi4 tho

to conquer the world

[willow plume]

how have u reached berlin so quickly bruh

[amber finch]

as Sweden!

[willow plume]

did they just completely collapse?

[dusky willow]

yeah

a breakthrough collapsed them

[robust spruce]

Yo I’m playing black ice the hell does this do

[dusky willow]

!!!

right

grab a snack

will finish campaign after

not looking to fumble

[sudden thistle]

The point is too have fun

[robust spruce]

What does black ice do

I’m playing it and don’t see nothing

[willow plume]

good point \

[sudden thistle]

U prob didn’t do it correctly

[robust spruce]

True

[slim nexus]

I almost agreed with this but then i remembered hoi4 multiplayer

[sudden thistle]

That’s why u play it with friends and tease them when they do something wrong

Btw @fast slate is a very good France

[slim nexus]

Friends are fictionial

How do you spell that

Fictional

There

[sudden thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/pig-bad-piggies-angry-birds-piggy-tales-ballin-gif-9703016461412432730

[slim nexus]

I wanna be the best belgium player in the world

[bright arrow]

Honestly, European Union Netherlands is so much fun

[slim nexus]

Say that to your research

You literally have to research interwar tanks

Id rather play communist china

[flat gazelle]

if you hate bad research never play brazil

2 research slots and basically no tech

[slim nexus]

No the thing with brazil is there isnt a better counterpart

But with the netherlands

[flat gazelle]

fair
