[sonic sand]

so like

a league of nation country who has a lot of influence

can declare war on another country without league intervention

[simple citrus]

epic

if i could code i'd do that a mod

actually yk what

[sonic sand]

so that like it doesn't completely ruin early game wars and what not

say 100 political power can have a spy do like a mission to influence the league

[simple citrus]

lets ping mods and tell the devs to implement that into some dlc

[heavy vigil]

No

[sonic sand]

great idea. (we will be shot on sight)

[simple citrus]

worth it

[heavy vigil]

If you want to suggest something, go on the forums

[simple citrus]

where are they

[heavy vigil]

Do not ping devs it will not bring any change

[heavy vigil]

Its the same site as linked in every #hearts-of-iron-news post

[simple citrus]

i don't watch them

thanks tho

[sonic sand]

oh wait i just realized you would need la resistance for influence

or rather for spys

so maybe 100 political power and 15 command power as a decision

making it not too cheap but also not too expensive either

[simple citrus]

i feel like 15 cp is not really cheap

[sonic sand]

HANK

DON"T ABBRIVIATE COMMAND POWER HANKKK

[simple citrus]

command power is too long to write

[sonic sand]

its not supposed to be cheap

i don't think hungary would have an easy time swaying the LON

[bright arrow]

Whats the largest amount of casualties you've guys seen in a war?

[sonic sand]

25m

on each side

[slim nexus]

10M when I fight against USSR with at least 80 tank divisions.

While I take 100k myself maximum.

That's not too much because I win the game before I can massacre them all.

[simple citrus]

12m for German Reich/28m for United Kingdom

[slim nexus]

In my games I don't take too much casualties myself nor I deal too many because I end wars fast.

[bright arrow]

Ok, 28M for UK? Thats wild. My UK is at 8M, they still have 4M reserves, but i think they cant pump out more divs

They have like 10 divs left

I think i crippled their economy

[simple citrus]

...twin

[sonic sand]

i once got 3m kills with hungary against germany.

[simple citrus]

you got it wrong

[sonic sand]

believe it or not i only have like 100 hours or something like that

[bright arrow]

My soviets are at 37M casualties

[meager cypress]

when shoudl i start researching planes

[slim nexus]

Lockelle you reply to yourself too much are you schizo?

[sonic sand]

who you playin

[meager cypress]

poland

[sonic sand]

do AA

[slim nexus]

When you feel that you have enough troops on land.

[sonic sand]

unless you have enough industry to do planes

[slim nexus]

Yeah do AA

[sonic sand]

[meager cypress]

I go poland romanian path

[bright arrow]

Alliance sides, we both around 75M each

[meager cypress]

So i have

[slim nexus]

You're not gonna beat Germany + Soviets air, that's a fact.

[meager cypress]

Yea

[sonic sand]

^

[dusky burrow]

As whom though

If you are the US+UK you definitely can

[slim nexus]

As Poland.

[simple citrus]

sweden-norway

[dusky burrow]

Oh

Yeah you'd really struggle

[sonic sand]

this is why i just beef the AA whenever im playing hungary, nonaligned, otto path

[simple citrus]

is that genshin on yo pfp @dusky burrow

[dusky burrow]

No

[simple citrus]

aw 🙁

[sonic sand]

because I know damn well i get declared on by the germans over Sudetenland

[slim nexus]

Man is only 14 YO and knows all the weeb stuff there is to know.

[tiny tartan]

Evil european union

[sonic sand]

and then the romanians

[bright arrow]

Canada is at 4M casualties, how many canadians are there even in Canada

[slim nexus]

Man, I feel like I've achieved unc status now.

[meager cypress]

Who?

[sonic sand]

non aligned europe

i believe

[slim nexus]

I'm old

[meager cypress]

Ok unc

[sonic sand]

[simple citrus]

I THOGUTH IT SAID 17

LOL

[slim nexus]

Unrestricted since 7 years old? Man, kids theses days get into the internet before they can even talk.

[simple citrus]

77?????

[dusky burrow]

Germany is screwed as usual

[meager cypress]

Lmao

[meager cypress]

I tought germany was strong, but without air its weak af

[bright arrow]

Dam, my UK must be hella broken, they just dont want to make more divisions, so i cant get them higher than 8M

[simple citrus]

i'm talking abt losses

[dusky burrow]

You are accusing someone who doesn't know things of actually knowing too much

[sonic sand]

it appears the polish are hungary

[bright arrow]

The US however is at 20M loses

[slim nexus]

Ok, so this african american fella is fighting Chile who also happens to be a major in his game, I'm confused.

[bright arrow]

What year did these games even run?

[lapis snow]

they're both soviet disaster saves I did from the 50s

first one is 52

[bright arrow]

Im trying to wipe out the allies as CCP but its so hard

Ironman, so i cant even cheat and get it over with

[slim nexus]

CCP? Commie China?

[bright arrow]

Luckily the war started after the Bruxelles meeting or whatever, so half the allies left

[slim nexus]

CCP is commie China?

[bright arrow]

Yes

[slim nexus]

Btw, why not play Manchukuo?

[bright arrow]

Because i clicked on Communist China

[lapis snow]

yeah I posted the 2nd one because its higher, over 100m

[slim nexus]

Sounds like hand to eye coordination issue then.

[heavy vigil]

Hi baba

[bright arrow]

So far my WW3 is at 130M casualties

[violet veldt]

who is he

where's mao

[daring tundra]

Have you killed the entirety of China?

How does the UK still have +100 divisions after 15 million dead (like 30ish percent of its core population?)

[lapis snow]

it was a british china puppet

but there were a lot of dead yanks

[sudden thistle]

he is Zhang Lan

[uncut pollen]

The Leader of communist china

[violet veldt]

yeah should i wait untill i have 1939 stuff before i make this?

wait what if i like

took the tank

made the template with hmg

then made a conversion template?

just changing the gun

[sudden thistle]

not rlly worth it if u build it that late

the strat is good only if u have multiple years for it

like sov

[violet veldt]

oh

so just make it like this or did i do smth wrong?

[lone otter]

Your canon is trash

[violet veldt]

yeah ik mate

[lone otter]

Also

Radio

[sudden thistle]

just use howitzers for mediums if ur doing sp ngl

[violet veldt]

don't have good arty i need better arty :[

it's like 1938 mate i'm preparing for like

spread communism

[lone otter]

I wouldn’t produce tanks

[sudden thistle]

i mean u can have it by 38

[lone otter]

Focus on air

[violet veldt]

in 1938?

[lone otter]

Yeah

No need for tanks

[violet veldt]

like focuses and whatnot?

[sudden thistle]

why

tanks are goated

[violet veldt]

are you trolling rn

is this ragebait

tanks are like

I'd need tanks way more than air

[lone otter]

No you don’t

You’re not playing mp

[slim nexus]

No need for army just get rid of it boss

[heavy vigil]

Duh

1938 is when you should have improved airframe with all modules

[violet veldt]

Like if i produce good enough air (Which I don't think i can do cause like. Not enough mils to make a dedicated airforce) I think it'd be way easier to just like make good tanks then rush inf with no breakthrough hoping CAS can pick up after them

[drifting igloo]

I went a little over board as Denmark...

[violet veldt]

If I could make good tanks lmao

[slim nexus]

Tanks are only worth it if the enemy themselves use artillery.

[heavy vigil]

???

[slim nexus]

Arming up yourself with artillery is more important.

[heavy vigil]

Artillery doesnt counter just using inf lol

line arty in this game is ass

[slim nexus]

Ok maybe I'm capping.

[violet veldt]

Jesus christ I am so confused

[heavy vigil]

This isnt rock paper scissors

Some things are just better

[slim nexus]

That looks tasty

[drifting igloo]

i ranout of manpower :< i had to run away

[violet veldt]

"You don't need tanks just use air"
"Don't convert tanks if you're not going to have a lot of time to do it"
"Tanks are only good if inf is using arty" hwat

[slim nexus]

Nah I was capping

[violet veldt]

a lot of stuff being said

[lone otter]

Tanks are only needed in mp

[violet veldt]

??

[lone otter]

Against ai just use inf

And cas

[slim nexus]

But I disagree with people's here assessment about line arty.

[violet veldt]

Dawg I'm playing spartacus germany not soviet union

[slim nexus]

Big Sad smol danes

Matter fact

[vital garden]

https://tenor.com/view/palestine-gif-24381216

[drifting igloo]

im gonna try to do this in Mp ... turn denmark into a fort and wait until the war is over XD

[dusky burrow]

Most tank research is arty research

[violet veldt]

yeah that's true

[slim nexus]

You could just cap Germany yourself, it ain't that hard.

[dusky burrow]

Germany will just naval invade and kill you

[slim nexus]

Denmark isn't Luxembourg.

[dusky burrow]

True, but Germany can send 10 tanks at you and you will die

[drifting igloo]

im using sheeps mod
I Didn't Flip the ruling party

[violet veldt]

is this good enough to be decent to mass produce before i get good stuff

[drifting igloo]

I build a level 7 forts

[slim nexus]

Denmark more like Switzerland 2.0

[violet veldt]

wait should i like

just replace gun with hmgs at this point

[violet veldt]

why not mils at that point damn

[drifting igloo]

Why build mils if i cant use them

[slim nexus]

That is good enough but you should put like 2 of theses in your attack infantry template with some artillery.

[violet veldt]

ohh resources yeahhh forgot

[slim nexus]

Because thoses tanks by themselves won't do much unless you also got CAS.

[violet veldt]

Civ trading?

[violet veldt]

"attack infantry" why not just produce tanks at that point

I get that like

tanks are not that easy to produce

[drifting igloo]

not really you can get like 10 to 15 with just the Focus tree

[dusky burrow]

Railway guns + 65% anti-fort bonus

[violet veldt]

and have templates for them

[slim nexus]

Two tank battalions per infantry would be enough

[drifting igloo]

damn

[dusky burrow]

Your forts are effectively worthless

[slim nexus]

And with attack infantry, I mean like 4 infantry divisions or something.

Not 24 inf divisions.

[spark lava]

why is israel in india

[drifting igloo]

what if I join the ussr... because the game lets you with the Focus tree

[violet veldt]

[violet veldt]

[dusky burrow]

20 soft attack :(

[slim nexus]

It's anti tank though

[violet veldt]

[slim nexus]

Unfortunately they haven't taken down the soviets.

It isn't that hard

[untold sphinx]

I fought all of europe

And im planning something bigger

[slim nexus]

Take down the USSR, Scandinavia, Turkey and Ireland then basket in your glory

That's all you need to do.

[untold sphinx]

Idc about scandinavia kinda

I'll bring the 2 big boys down and call it a day

[slim nexus]

Yesh but that would unify Europe.

You are so getting banned

aw man

yeah man why you bring that in here

Nah, he'll just get a watning.

Mods are chill.

[toxic badger]

well sorry

it's gone now as you can see

[slim nexus]

Chill out people.

[slim nexus]

it has already burnt into my retinas

[tiny iris]

I got banned for having a AI generated Elon Musk at the battle of Waterloo pfp as a joke. I had to appeal the ban. Took I think 2 days before they appealed my ban.

So from my expierience. They are quite strict.

But I should have read the rules.

I did but I should have read them closer.

[slim nexus]

I don't read rules tbh

They're just common sense most of the time.

[toxic badger]

I only really use this place for update news, and don't talk all that much. I guess I'll leave.

[slim nexus]

Not worth checking out.

[slim nexus]

Stay.

We got a lot of fruitful discussions here.

Stay.

Then someone tell him to come back.

[lone otter]

map mode name

[craggy trail]

[slim nexus]

nice one

[tiny iris]

HOI4 kinda easy ngl

Taking the USSR as the German Empire is easy

[slim nexus]

Doing anything in the late game is easy

Doing it in the early game ad a minor is the hard part.

[south yarrow]

nobody answering me in help so might as well ask here, for the commands that say "command only available for developers" is it really impossible to use them? i know it's a dumb question but just making sure

[loud meadow]

Idk, but you can try starting the game in debug mode.

And see if it works

[south yarrow]

i've heard of it, i'm pretty sure its where you just change the launch mode into -debug and i did that

pretty sure this is it

[surreal swift]

holy shit i went to the server mp lfg, and too much noise

[loud meadow]

Yes

[south yarrow]

damn, i saw that it should make the dev only commands work but it doesn't

[slim nexus]

bless ya

[south yarrow]

is it worth it to try"debug" instead of "-debug"

[loud meadow]

Idk if that changes anything

[south yarrow]

probably wouldn't but sometimes games have to be specific lol

[surreal swift]

idek why i went there i still dont know what i am doing in this game

[loud meadow]

What's the hoi4 mp scene looking like these days?

[south yarrow]

apparently it's -"debug" instead of what i did, so maybe i was right

[craggy trail]

TFB, Rt56 Discordian are the mainsway mp games I've seen along with the usual historical/ahistorical

[unique crag]

good?

[loud meadow]

What's TFB?

[craggy trail]

Their Finest Bruh

[loud meadow]

I see

Is it mostly casual or tryhard?

[craggy trail]

Most of the time competitive

[loud meadow]

Damn, I remember the RT56 Casual games 😔

yeooh whats a good motorized division template for ww1 germany

[tiny iris]

No

[unique crag]

As Germany, its not impressive.

is anything impressive as germany

[unique crag]

its mid 1940

ye

Doesn't matter. France still sucks no matter what ideology it picks.

[real heath]

you're also fascist, would have been a tad bit more impressive if you were monarchist

[unique crag]

hold up

[tiny iris]

@unique crag even this is alright.

Germany is extremely easy.

[real heath]

yeah

[safe wing]

which diplomatic path?

[unique crag]

my eyes have been bleeding at this map

[safe wing]

Brest Litovsk or See to the Eastern Front

[tiny iris]

I am the Kaiser

[safe wing]

yes I know but you got two diplomacy paths as the Kaiser

[tiny iris]

I don't have götterdammerung. That is my next DLC I'll buy.

[safe wing]

ah MB

[tiny iris]

BBA is only important for the navy stealing thing.

[safe wing]

but basically you can befriend Eastern Europe or subjugate them by recreating Breast Litvosk

[tiny iris]

But I ain't paying 200 Swedish kronor to get a damn peace conference option.

[safe wing]

befriending is better compared to subjugation

considering you can form the European Union as Imperial Germany

[real heath]

depends

[bright arrow]

I gotta be honest, stealing navies, actually ruins navy by making you super lazy

[safe wing]

and get a flag that looks like the Galatic Empire

[real heath]

you can still form it with brest litovsk

[real heath]

this

[safe wing]

agreed

[slim nexus]

but feels nice

[tiny iris]

Exactly but if you play like Norway and wanna take Britain. Its super useful considering the nordics have a decent navy. And taking them will give you a good navy.

[safe wing]

Anyways Monarchist Italy time

[tiny iris]

I do wish they added the peace conference options to the base game. Or atleast a seperate dlc.

[bright arrow]

In some cases its good, but i don't remember ever spending the time researching ship modules to build ships

[tiny iris]

Cuz BBA sucks.

[bright arrow]

Cuz i usually just take a navy and rule the seas

[tiny iris]

But the navy taking is so important.

[real heath]

this is just so satisfying

[sudden thistle]

Nuh uh

oh, right, thanks lol

such softies tho

[sage plover]

im suffering bruh, i physically cant land a naval invasion for the life of me </3

[tiny iris]

Yeah, I too think its stupid considering you are allowed to mention Hitler and the nazi's.

[real heath]

and the soviet flag

[bright arrow]

I think its because its banned in Germany

[real heath]

and the japanese imperial flag

and the usa flag

[warped flint]

Should i hold near the border or behind the big river

But rules are rules

[sage plover]

i was told off for mentioning hitler once

[simple citrus]

https://tenor.com/view/echidna-anime-gif-18161374

[tiny iris]

What tag is that suppose to represent?

[simple citrus]

dunno man

beam.ng drive probably

[simple citrus]

flip yo fone twin dis aint rite ✌️

[bright arrow]

Not enough spains

[vague lion]

These are all hackers btw. If you see them or hear them report them

[azure palm]

Wait, is it impossible to annex puppets when youre democratic?

[craggy trail]

Generally you can annex your puppets through autonomy integration as any ideology

[azure palm]

but Im playing austria democratic and it says always false can annex

[vague lion]

.

[orchid lily]

started a new game as italy and in the last one i tried using the default celere division template but it kind of sucked, what should i modify it as?

[craggy trail]

You may ned to go down through your focus tree to be able to integrate them

[azure palm]

Im already at the bottom

Also its a supervised state, dont know if that chanegs anything

[dusky burrow]

Yeah you can never annex supervised states

[orchid lily]

idk much but last time i used like 2 light tank batallions and i think it was too little

[azure palm]

damn it. So basicly they will just become free at some point? All my demands in the peace deal useless?

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

[azure palm]

shit

[tiny iris]

Mini modddddddddddd

jk

Pretty sure its witch hunting or something

To yk, post others peoples username and accuse them of things.

[craggy trail]

Yeah. Tends to happen a lot with MP

[bright sinew]

so like

when the red army irl had the winter war

and then barbarossa started

were all of the initial encirclements and troops that were killed mostly from the winter war

like the same armies?

[simple citrus]

yo wtf

[vague lion]

They are already all banned

[simple citrus]

why is kingdom of italy in equestria at war

dis shit pmo

[vague lion]

@ivory elbow is the only one unbanned

[craggy trail]

Wingbardy mainly

[simple citrus]

what

[craggy trail]

They're our version's Italy

[simple citrus]

as in

lombardy?

[craggy trail]

Not exaclty, but they are close to interwar italy

March on Rome, etc etc

[simple citrus]

agrrghghrg

how do i stop fascists

[craggy trail]

historically, Beakolini takes power and establishes an empire spanning southern Griffonia

[simple citrus]

what the fukc

is there a landing on sicily

[craggy trail]

He's a lot more competent than real world Mussolini

[simple citrus]

aw man

is he atleast cute

i don wan no ugly ass old wrinkly mofo

[craggy trail]

The other one is the King, or the communists who can form a Worker's Empire

[simple citrus]

yo uh

where do i look for abyssinia

[craggy trail]

Southern Continent

[simple citrus]

which one

i haven't launched ye

t

[south yarrow]

guys how do i play hoi4 "debug" mode

i tried putting -"debug" and -debug into launcher but that doesnt work, any other recommendations

[fiery vapor]

guys

how do i fix this

[sonic sand]

thats the neat part

[fiery vapor]

i don't know how to give my garrisons the equipment

[abstract kiln]

Okay Germany

[sonic sand]

go to recruitment tab

[abstract kiln]

Still field 300+ divisions with 16 million losses 🤣

[fiery vapor]

k

[sonic sand]

then click the green button

where it says

garrison

it should be at the top

[fiery vapor]

yes

[sonic sand]

central panel

[slim nexus]

Was he or he wasn't?

[fiery vapor]

set it to high priority?

[sonic sand]

that should prioritize your garrisons

yeah

[fiery vapor]

and then that fixes it?

[sonic sand]

but you'll have less equipment for troops and whatnot

[indigo violet]

oh no, pls not Mark Felton 😭

[sudden thistle]

He lived in Germany

[sonic sand]

more or less

[sudden thistle]

In ww2

[azure palm]

was that the air marshall or his brother?

[fiery vapor]

ok tysm

[indigo violet]

the air marshall

[sonic sand]

np

[azure palm]

Probably not

[slim nexus]

Indeed he is exploring some unspoken topics

I personally believe Göring was the transvestite

[indigo violet]

only one that comes to my mind is Ernst Röhm

[indigo violet]

https://tenor.com/view/blinking-eyes-white-guy-blinking-meme-what-huh-gif-26334322

[sonic sand]

#off-topic hmmm

[bright arrow]

drive the americans into the sea

a true hallmark of the revolution

[dusky burrow]

Oof

[languid patrol]

thank you, poland

[gusty oracle]

I see mark felton all the time but whats his deal

[indigo violet]

idrk, i just find his videos quite boring and monotone

[split sable]

JFC I just learned that you can select all of unit types by clicking their icon in the army window

[sonic sand]

so russia got balkanized

[languid patrol]

more like hungary

[split sable]

now USSR start is infinitely less painfull

[mint adder]

Anarchist spain uprising won’t steal half my army as republican spain, right? Right?

[sonic sand]

totally

[mint adder]

What

[sonic sand]

just like germany would never invade poland

totally

[mint adder]

Dude

Please tell me its a ragebait

Please

[sonic sand]

no?

[mint adder]

Bruh

[sonic sand]

its sarcasm

[mint adder]

So no?

[sonic sand]

its not ragebait

why would it be?

germany invaded poland

and you lose half your army

[mint adder]

Alr

Thanks i guess

[sonic sand]

yeah spanish civil war is

not fun.

[mint adder]

I did manage to take over some territory before the war starting

Ended up with many encircled divisions and managed to destroy lost of them

Also did a push on salamanca and it was a success

Guess the fun wont last long

[bright arrow]

Has anyone ever tried Fleet submarines?

[mint adder]

Kinda

[open quartz]

Wdym

like submarines in a task force? not convoy raiding?

[bright arrow]

these things

[open quartz]

Oh, I see

What is its specialty?

[dusky burrow]

Fleet scout?

[open quartz]

As opposed to a regular submarine

[bright arrow]

I assume its acts as a patrol sub?

[modern kestrel]

is it not the cruiser sub?

special project

[daring tundra]

The Spanish civil war is not hard

[bright arrow]

No, cruiser sub is other one. This one also is a special project

[mint adder]

My plan is to focus on one point at the time

Concentrate my force on one point on one enemy

[daring tundra]

If you want to play it fast, you can reduce grotesquely the Nationalist territory greatly by doing the focuses and coordinating yourself wrll

I have had times when I ended the war as republican Spain before the anarchist uprising

[mint adder]

Especiqlly after carlist and anarchist uprising, i will mainly focus on the nationalists

And attack throught the plains with the best divisions i got

I’ll try to hold as much as possible on the other side

[daring tundra]

Spain is in due need for a rework, btw. The focus tree is awful. Too many 70 days focus and barely any good content besides the schizo anarchist path, which is ok but has some lacks

[mint adder]

I defeated the german military junta as german reich in the german civil war

So i think i got a possibility of winning in the SCW

[mint adder]

Curiosity

I still dont know how i managed to win

[slim nexus]

Depending on how the czechsolovakia modder dlc goes down they might do a Spain one

[daring tundra]

Yes please.

Spain needs a face wash

[slim nexus]

I have a feeling they’ll do it for most countries that have a default focus tree

Like Syria and stuff

[daring tundra]

I can't compare it to Czechoslovakia, but Spain is dull

[slim nexus]

Because why would they waste time on another Middle East dlc 😭

[daring tundra]

And it has so much potential

[mint adder]

I honestly wanted to originally play the anarchists but then i realized its my first time so its better if i try the repubicans

[daring tundra]

Don't suggest

[mint adder]

For the global defence council

[slim nexus]

They’d never do it cause of how goe went down

[daring tundra]

If you do alright as the republicans throughout the war, the anarchists will get a proportional part of the territory

[mint adder]

Is goe still bad or did it improve a bit

[daring tundra]

Not worth it

[slim nexus]

It got slightly better but it’s a waste of money

[daring tundra]

India is decent, everything else is bad

[slim nexus]

If you don’t use a mod to fix it

[daring tundra]

Except Mughals, which are not fun at all

[slim nexus]

honestly I’m only playing it for the achievements tbh

[daring tundra]

Particularly when you have to fight the allies for a civil war where you start with the territory west of the Indus

[mint adder]

Its weird how paradox manages to profit out of DLCs while also allowing the creations of mods which kinda make dlcs not worth it

[slim nexus]

This is not fun

[mint adder]

How much hours?

I have 500 and only 2 achiviements

[slim nexus]

in my current steam account, just over 600, on my old ones I had 5k total

[daring tundra]

Modding attracts a community, and some of them may buy some dlcs. If they didn't allow nodding, they may not have got that money at all anyway

[mint adder]

Makes sense

[slim nexus]

We cooking

[mint adder]

I have around 430-500 hours (ive played without wifi sometimes)

[slim nexus]

Fair

[mint adder]

Also i took long breaks

[daring tundra]

I have officially 420ish hours

[slim nexus]

The longest I’ve went without playing hoi4 was a week

Cause someone bought me pc game pass so I was looking at it

[mint adder]

I bought hoi4 iimnw in november 2023 maybe

[crystal marsh]

weak

[mint adder]

Around autumn

[crystal marsh]

although fair the playtime doesnt make it look better

[daring tundra]

Although I have played significantly more because I was a soldier before a general

[slim nexus]

This is on an account that only got the game like two months ago

[crystal marsh]

fairs

[mint adder]

I honestly should play mods with different maps

Not world map

Totally converted ones

[daring tundra]

No way

[slim nexus]

I can’t count so maybe like 3 months

I had to beg one of my online friends to get me a key for the game

[willow plume]

wait can u explain

i dont understand

[mint adder]

But my pc runs hoi4 at 20 fps i dont think its a good idea

It goes so slow i micro at 5 speed

People call me a monster for that

[daring tundra]

I own the game legally, but this hasn't always been the case. It is as simple as that I bought it once I could afford it

[slim nexus]

Is that not normal? 😭

[bright arrow]

finally making progress over Britain

[daring tundra]

And when I did, I bought all the dlcs

[mint adder]

It being slow pisses me off ngl

[slim nexus]

I refuse to play mp cause I only play at 5 speed

[willow plume]

ahhh ok that makes sense

[mint adder]

One of my classmates has the game pirated but then i discovered he actually bought the game on sale

He doesnt even play it much

[bright arrow]

my biggest flex is having this in my fleet

[daring tundra]

Exactly. Much to my misfortune, I like this game and I bought it to support the creators, despite the fact they have occasions when you doubt whether they deserve it

[daring tundra]

GoE mainly

[slim nexus]

Honestly atp idc about the meta I just spam out nuclear subs late when I get them

[mint adder]

I honestly hate pirating in general because people who worked hard on it deserve the money

Just buy the game on sale

A time i waited months to get a half life game

[daring tundra]

I agree. But I have been there and I know how it feels, so I like to think that I buy the game so others don't need to

And will buy it when they can

And the cycle continues

[mint adder]

In the end piracy will never stop

No one can do anything about it

[daring tundra]

In Spain we say it is to out a door to the countryside

[ripe slate]

Please dont discuss piracy in this server, even in this form

[slim nexus]

Honestly more games should use regional pricing on steam

[mint adder]

I thought we could discuss about it but not promote it

I apologize

[ripe slate]

It was reduced because people were using VPN/gifts to get games in other regions

(VPN can get your account banned anyway)

[open quartz]

i'm not even going to question why communist china is trying to perform operation sealion

[slim nexus]

Yes, it reduces revenue for the company in the short term but it is made up for by more people buying it

[slim nexus]

Interesting

I just mean in general on steam, not specifically paradox games

Cause they banned the vpn thing

[daring tundra]

x2

[ripe slate]

I think Steam in general reduced it? I might be misremembering

[mint adder]

Got confused with the subreddit

Which btw

Is the sub official?

[ripe slate]

IIRC no

[bright arrow]

Cuz the British didn't give me Hongkong

[mint adder]

Theres a guy who works a paradox that posts info both here and in the sub

Forgot his name

[slim nexus]

I just checked and I think they did for most games cause hoi4 (starter bundle) is like 220 cny (30 usd) not on sale compared to some games like bo7 which is 348 cny (48 usd) instead of 60

[daring tundra]

Anyway, back to how I would sacrifice my firstborn child for a Czechoslovakia-like rework for Spain "No pasarán"

[mint adder]

I honestly hope the czechia dlc gives some small mechanic or smth

[ripe slate]

Wdym

[mint adder]

Like the small additions that were added in death or dishonor for example

New research stuff for example

[slim nexus]

I think it’s Just a focus pack

[mint adder]

Or lend lease iirc

Oh alr

[slim nexus]

I’m just looking at an achievement and it’s gonna be so painful to do 😭

[ripe slate]

Then dont do it

[willow plume]

what's the achievement?

[ripe slate]

All of them are painful because you cant play with mods /s 😛

[daring tundra]

Spain is by 1936 doomed to have a war, but I am sure they can flesh out the gameplay a lot. There really is no need for every single focus to be 70 days or to have your country to be forced to watch through WW2

[slim nexus]

Sunrise invasion and czechmate

[ripe slate]

those do sound tricky

[slim nexus]

Icba to conquer Mexico then Europe before 1945 as Japan tbh

[daring tundra]

Like, it would be great to be able to defend a democratic Spain and get some immersive politics for the post-war

[mint adder]

Even if i kinda dont like the idea of a single nation dlc i DO want a new czechia focus tree my man

The current one is so bad

You can get crazy amounts of manpower but still is so bad

[daring tundra]

Or have Francoist Spain to be a mechanic to align with the axis or the allies depending on inversion, much like Ireland in KR

[slim nexus]

I found what MacArthur is doing in china chat

“I have a Chinese name now”

Is the caption

This man jump scared me opening bilibili 😭

[robust spruce]

Ngl im glad paradox was born

If they weren’t born I’d be so bored

[bright arrow]

when you fight all the biggest navies in the game at the same time

i dont think 27 carriers are enough guys

[mint adder]

In case you need to naval invade

You can just walk on the sea now for how much metal there would be in the sea

[orchid lily]

Was there enough steel in 1936 to even build a fleet like that 😭

Wait that's not 1936

[devout trench]

they must of been materializing steel to make fleets that big

[bright arrow]

The UK has 30 carriers, Japan 28 and US has 20

And they are all in the allies

the first prey

[orchid lily]

Carrier alone

Crazy

[devout trench]

PRC is best hoi4 country

[bright arrow]

67 to go

[orchid lily]

Navy is such an underrated part of hoi4 imo

[slim nexus]

Real

[bright arrow]

Im spamming 1944 subs

[orchid lily]

Idk how to use subs tho

I feel like they just waste dockyards

[bright arrow]

But i have the German Bismark in my pocket

[slim nexus]

I just spam subs and put em all on mines or convoy raiding

[bright arrow]

I made it my Pride of the Fleet cuz how often do you get Bismark as Communist China

[orchid lily]

Real men print a destroyer every hour

[slim nexus]

real women just use subs

[nova snow]

Isn't being a girl and playing HOI4 in different DLCs?

[orchid lily]

Real women lose their whole fleet to my 7th reserve fleet

[slim nexus]

Maybe in the west

[slim nexus]

Real women don’t waste time on trivial things like navy

[bright arrow]

I wonder if theres an achievement for having everything researched

[open quartz]

with the industry you have honestly make aircraft carries and you will shred the ai's navy

[slim nexus]

There isn’t sadly

[nova snow]

Real people play as tannu tuva

[mint adder]

I love spamming cheap destroyers ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️

[orchid lily]

Real women then wonder how 70 marines divisions suddenly appeared on their coast

[nova snow]

And conquer the world

[slim nexus]

Real

[slim nexus]

Real women defend their coasts

[open quartz]

if you haven't tried tanna tuva world conquest I don't wanna hear it 🙏

[mint adder]

A time i built the perfect strike force fleet as japan just for the british AI to avoid me and troll me with subs convoy raiding

[orchid lily]

Eventually it will fall with enough marines divisions buddy

[nova snow]

Gng I conquered the world as free france🙏🙏🙏

[slim nexus]

Lowley in my communist china game I jus had the coast constantly guarded for Japan

[orchid lily]

Doesn't matter when I have 59 battleships shooting at your puny battalions

[nova snow]

Took me until 1957

[slim nexus]

Never happened to me

[nova snow]

Dont ask

[open quartz]

wait did you capitulate then conquer the world?

[orchid lily]

Yeah because ai doesn't have the giant brain of a superfleet strategist

[nova snow]

Yeah

[orchid lily]

Like me

[open quartz]

💀

[slim nexus]

In multiplayer I mean

[orchid lily]

Just look at my superfleet

5 WHOLE DESTROYERS SUNK

[bright arrow]

I got the US down to less than 100 divisions

[orchid lily]

Giant victory many blessings upon glorious navy soldiers

[rose prawn]

Not just normal destroyer

TORPEDO destroyer

The goats

[orchid lily]

Torpedo is lame

[open quartz]

free france gameplay sounds fun but I guarantee UK takes everything in the peace deal because they blended all their manpower with failed invasions

[rose prawn]

They are op

[slim nexus]

Ugh 7 am again

[rose prawn]

After you penerate their line

[orchid lily]

Yeah and lame

[mint adder]

A time i played a mod and had to destroy the entirety of a nation because it had 0% surrender rate

[mint adder]

Not even taking all victory points was enough

Every single tile

[orchid lily]

Which is NEVER

Because you don't have guns to kill their screening

[willow plume]

just use area defence

[rose prawn]

U do

[mint adder]

They had like 150 divisions and 1000+ defense

[willow plume]

1000+ defence

wtf

[mint adder]

And i had to use heavy tanks and interwar bombers

[willow plume]

thats insane

[bright arrow]

The soviets have 100k planes lmao

[rose prawn]

Honestly I sunk tons of British French American ships as denmark netherlands germany Sweden etc

[mint adder]

Because thats a mod set in 1900’s

I killed like 5 milion of them

[orchid lily]

Last game as Italy I had like 30 dockyards printing destroyers lol

[mint adder]

In idk how many encirclements

[nova snow]

Rn im trying to remake the holy Roman Empire as Luxembourg

🙏

[orchid lily]

I must have been making at least 1 a week

[nova snow]

Gonna bould lvl 7 forts

[rose prawn]

You should have get those heavies first

[willow plume]

bro is gonna be suffering ngl

[nova snow]

Then prepare for the main invasion

After the allies beat germany

[rose prawn]

You can stole vichy navy as well

If you were in axis

[orchid lily]

Italy at the start has a lot of capitals

[nova snow]

Ill turn on France who will he weak after the war

[orchid lily]

By 1937 I had like

[mint adder]

The first time i ever invaded the ussr

[orchid lily]

8 battleships

[rose prawn]

Nice

[mint adder]

It went a little bit too good

[orchid lily]

8 heavy cruisers or more I think

[rose prawn]

Did you had Aircraft carrier

[mint adder]

So good that i couldbt take all of ussr at oeace conference

[orchid lily]

No I didn't use carriers

[nova snow]

Then ill bould up my army take down America and the soviet union and after ive done everything release all the land except the one of the holy roman empire

[orchid lily]

I started a new game as Italy and I might try them

[nova snow]

Seems abt right

[willow plume]

is there a formable nation?

[orchid lily]

But I always struggled with air forces

[orchid lily]

I'm never able to make enough planes

[nova snow]

I dont think so

Nor achievement

But im js so tired of the main game I wanna so sum of my own

[open quartz]

If you don't have the industry to produce fighters then make anti air and add it to your divisions' templates

[willow plume]

hmm maybe u could make or find a mod

[nova snow]

I have like 80% achievements done

[dusky burrow]

You're Portugal or the UK?

[willow plume]

is anti air and anti air buildings enought to country enemy cas?

[orchid lily]

Italy

Portugal dragged me into engagement while my fleet was going to rep

[open quartz]

sometimes but if the AI is feeling intelligent it will use tactical bombers to disable anti air defense systems

[orchid lily]

Yeah that's what I did

[nova snow]

Ill do 30 minutes of hell

Thats seems right

[dusky burrow]

NOOOOOOOOO

[nova snow]

And ill do the Luxembourg thing tomorrow

[willow plume]

ok so bombers can counter aa

so its only effective in single player

[open quartz]

i haven't experimented a lot with them

nor heavy fighters

and strategic bombers can also disable anti air

[nova snow]

I like experimenting w tanks and disabled units

I got the disabled through a mod though

But I js like to make the fastest tanks as the german reich and literally encircle everything

[bright arrow]

The soviets just turned democratic omg

[torpid mist]

snoic.

The soviets kicked me again

I have no choice

I must turn against my old allies

[serene token]

This reminds me of Ramnestine.

Also, is EU4 worth it?

[sudden thistle]

It’s mid imo

[serene token]

So don't get it?

[sudden thistle]

Watch some videos on it and see if you like it

[slim nexus]

I’d wait for eu5

especially if you aren’t a big fan of the economy stuff cause it can be automated in eu5 iirc

[robust spruce]

I wouldn’t ngl

[slim nexus]

Ugh I need to actually lock in and play eu4

[robust spruce]

Actually im buying eu5 if its with the Christmas sale

[slim nexus]

I have it but I need all achievements

[robust spruce]

Even tho I got eu4

[slim nexus]

Fair

It comes out like two days after my birthday 😭

[robust spruce]

My birthday all the way in April
