but they gonna join germans
motorise the supply lines
bruh
oh i usualy declare on Romania and Yugoslavia mid 1937 ish or whenever im ready
Since all the guarantees on Yugoslavia drop
that's like one of the most important thing you must get regardless of builds
you can declare on them and also fight against Romania because they guarantee Yugoslavia
yeah but iam idiot
don't stand in a no supply zone until then
yeah i dont think germany can do anything atp
so everything is guaranted by uk
medium tanks are just too goated
how do i get carlist spain to spawn
DONT declare on Romania first
Always declare on Yugoslavia to get Romania in the war otherwise you fight the allies
finally
template
And make sure the guarantees dropped on Yugoslavia
i use this one every run
Best Hungary tip is also to go fascist
Horthy is cool and all, he has drip
but like
at least make it 32 width and use all support companies :(
Fascist Hungary is wayyyyy easier because you can declare early and eat up Yugoslavia and Romania
also are you sure these dudes didnt just have infinite manpower
plus join the axis in like 37
where did they even get infantry equipment from
guys
no, they just have a lot of pop and high conscription law
operation barbarossa
oh
yikes, as commie China i was a bit at fault for the USSR dying because i asked for help in Manchuria
who could i invade now
crazy
wow
insane
i declared total victory as China after Japan died because i didnt want to fight Germany after i realized the allies are unable to land in Europe
my divisions stand on front but arent doing anything
that would just be a headache
The German puppets
afghanistan
Ja
guys dont ask about my agency's name
i oughta do that to ease up on my garrisons
Communist kolchak
Both
Save some guns for the rest of us
✌️
im scared, i dont want Italy to die like they did when i played imperial Germany
They lost Rome in 1939 that time
how TF did this happened
lovely borders
after they lose bessarabia usually but since you went ahist it probably changed
when they will join im gonna loose
not sure if the ussr is surviving ts one
no
Mongolia will win
you know youre cooked when german tanks instantly push your 7 division full strenght and supply off the tile
if you feel like you can't help or can't do anything anymore sure
but don't play as mongolia
at least choose a country with focuses
afghanistan
today
yay
but i wanted to do no more patritions
i went romanova path
too much cores, i forgot
so need to replay
love the fact that if the germans annex vichy than france just loses savoy
OH I JS REALIZED
WOW its working
ye...
u doing achievment?
nah
ok
i just wanted a chill and cool game
cuz if yes, u couldve turn off gtr
fr
hello @iron berry did you like the fanfic that i wrote
can't you choose a begginer friendly country to play as historical so you don't get overwhelmed with imprevisible stuff ?
with who...
also, afghanistan is a shitty country if you don't know how the game wxorks
how tf i loosed cracow it was green buble
@iron berry hello?
i hope staling and hit?
dm me
green doesn't mean you're winning
Why is my game starting in 32 bits?
it means you're loosing less org than the enemy
yeah but 99 green buble
nvm im bored of hoi4
no
oh you're in this server?
i didn't actually read it
if the enemy has 100 org and you have 10, no matter the color of the bubble, you'll still lose
and that's not counting the reinforce meme, the CAS or armored divs
goddamn guess I need to expand my block list
interesting
or see if I can explain to the mods here how you guys are mentally ill
why tf my puppet have wargoals on all allies
Hello

🥺
focuses
Maybe from a focus?
gl w that
i jst got here
can u ping him again
ahh yes best moment for this focus
im not involved 🥀
im joking
sobs
@thorn storm the tldr is that this eavo guy is part of a group of people from another game who think it's extremely funny to run coordinated harassment campaigns occasionally
we have banned them but they still float around the fringes and bother people
oh dear
💅 ✨
what does tldr mean again
too long didnt read
What is it I can't load it
ohh
i thought i told u already
i forgot..
which one
im not familiar with that abbreviation same with cba 🥀
anyway i js lurk here

The 2 you send
the only interaction we've had in maybe like 2 years is me sending this fanfic to him
what game
its the mons game bro
wow you guys known each other for a while huh
oh yea showdown right
yeah :/
yes
i tried playing once
HEARTS OF IRONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN 4
My old ass fhone can't load this to
i did NOT understand
better luck next time
🥀
thank you its gonna help
soviets aren't monarchist
why they are sending divisions
alright bro 😭😭😭😭😭
yeah but they hate germany
A bit
it was ironyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
isok u got a laugh outta me for that one
Also how you losing you have more divs
aint no way

italy ai

is the best ai i have ever seen
AI wil take over the world
AI....
headache..
bruh how do i not suck at hoi4
By getting good
how do i getting good
i had air supority and my divisons were well supplied
Just watching genuine gameplay helped me learn
and i cant even invade france
Good divs?
Did you make tanks?
yes
Then clearly not good tanks
how do i make good tanks
Show the tanks you use
what should i do for cas and fighters
Small cannons* in the modules
3x HMG, E3
Armour plates 2x and self sealing if u want
But you have the kgb and a hammer and sickle?
Interesting
guys is there is a mod to play from 1936 to 2000+?
CAS is E3 and max heavy bomb locks with armour plates, drop tanks, and dive breaks
if i declare on yugoslavia as austria hungary, and its guaranteed by romania, and romania by france, will i have to fight the french aswell?
because i didnt declare on romania
No
Only Romania/yugo
ok imma try it
how did it go
germany wanted sudetenland so i will have to deal with them first i think
Wait until November I guess
Maybe it changes for better or worse
i mean i dont even have to fight japan if i dont want to
at least for now
You have to If you want Manchuria and Hebei back
Assuming Japan is going historical of course
No
what can i improve?
You just don’t have enough factories for 43
i'vve been making a ton of forts
The rest of America, mostly. Also Hawaii and a handful of other islands.
because i am the impenetrable fortress
i'm non-expansionsit
i've only been influencing other nations
turning them fascist
no dlc moment
i have the götterdammerung dlcv
pacifist nazi germany bruh what am i seeing 😭
If you’re playing Germany historical you should have more factories than that in 41
It looks like you just said you haven’t conquered anyone though lmao?
So I guess
idk
Mmm, some delicious border gore to start the day
Because they're all stacked on one single province 🥀
Yeah don't put all 56 tanks in one place
does that actually matter
Yes
Also your tank divisions are tiny
That's like putting 1M people in a place that can only support 50
4 tanks and 2 mech per division?
They're gonna start starving
bruh
i just gifted a friend of mine hoi4 because i still had a key laying somewere from a giveaway i won
should i thicken it up?
In either case you can't possibly get like the 100+ supply needed in one tile
gang
yes,
who shouyld i play as
Truly a revolutionary army
(i only have 1k hours 😢)
Yes, consolidate these into 28 tank divisions and then add more mech
Your division would have 8 tanks and 10 mech in it
War started in Dec 1936, it’s May 1937 (ignore German empire I set every nation to a random path)
who are you
poland
or usisr
And don't forget to add flame tanks and hospitals as well
I think they're the USSR judging by the arrows
USSR
“Mom I want winter war”
“We have winter war at home”
Winter war at home:
@tsarsheepofbulgaria
yo who ever wants to do historical hoi4 hop in mp1
im so glad that sinkiang somehow refused to join the united front
.
POLISH CIVIL WAR NOOOO
it's 6 divs?
youre also exercising them
when you exercise it automatically lowers the org
and because youre also stacking them
attrition
💔
POLAND CALLED IN GERMANY THE HELL
Try rushing them all down
GERMAN NAVAL INVASIAN OF LENINGRAD
HUNGARY JOINED
That's still too small
tank design...?
yeah? like where you put the guns and whatnot
do you have no step bac k
i don't
I did say 8 tanks and 10 mechanized
ah ok
aight i'll need to get some xp rq to do that
Only time hoi4 players will hear that
nope.
every time.
they have something too small after making it bigger.
like
How do I make good templates, is there a up to date video anyone can send me please?
infantry make a 9x9 brick
*3x3
9x9
you kinda have to figure it out yourself there are many opinions
lol
learn what the stats mean and then build off of that (cas and green air)
yeah
with engineer and supportt arty
learn how to use combat width and what all the stats mean
I more so need to figure out how to make tanks
if you cant produce enough arty cut it
30 width is where you should be
do you have Götterdämmerung?
do it like 8 tanks to 10 motorized/mechanized
Yes
no step back?
Ok thank you do the tank types matter?
Yeah
so heavy tanks
alright yeah
are well
I’m not exactly new just haven’t played in a long time
medium tanks are pretty mobile and strong
but they're slower
it should be something like 4 tanks in two rows and then 4 mech in the other two
hes got that right
and keep on adding until you round it up to 30 width
and light tanks are speedy but paper thin
its hard to explain it in text
yes and no, heavies are the best but have terrain negatives. mediums are the jack of all trades, lights are fast and have way less terrain negatives but statwise are the worst
basically
yeah
Ok thank you all
if you negate the terrain negatives for heavies they go hard
Is there any specific metas for tank designer or just do what looks best stat wise?
no problem mister united kingdom
How do I do that in designer?
and heavy tanks are best defensively vs lights which suck
but if you only got light tanks
then use em
below the stats you'll see terrain buffs/nerfs
Singleplayer mediums are something like this
cant do it in the designer you need to use support companies that help like rangers, armored engineer, and flame tanks
just keep whatever tank type you have uniform in the template
am i cooked? im playing as poland trying to get the bear in charge of the nation but for that i need to control italy
Yeah ok I just wanted to know if it was in tank designer or divisions
Something like this is quite good
I see thabks
500 breakthrough? 🤮
with your graphic mod i can't tell what on earth is going on.
💀
is that like ironic?
bro only has 500 breakthrough as germany 🥀
literally everyone is in the allies
Breakthrough is a myth
lock in vro
frfr
breakthrough doesn't exist.
Peep the template chat
man idk why but building railway guns is busted for defense
(I stole this)
peak fiction
It gives like a huge negative enemy attack modifier
now thats a division worth using
yeah
in ww1 mod
We love it
you're building roads?
90275261990662150
just roads?
which one should i do
Yeah I dont know why....
i seek to replace mr h
average civ greeder:
both
i have a mod that removes mutually exclusive focuses :3
Most normal template
Loyalty is very strong
spain has now be exlied to central africa
Do it if you're running out of resources
don't be dissin Artillery 1936 A like that
wheres iowa
But otherwise no
thats actually so broken
also leave nebraska at 0
I kinda am
I see
somewhere
its for the AI too
blud cant even point out iowa on the map 🥀
Anschluss as monarchist germany 🔥
go communist after going facist
Iowa is right here
russia having 3 civil wars
no wait its that little island next to the iowonian sea
the one at the very end of the unmarked landmass
hmmm v ery mysterious why the fascists are getting bigger and bigger in the UK
iowa
why? Should I be able to do that?
this actually happens
quite often
mr mosely is whispering in churchill's ear like wormtongue
never happens for me
don't make me ill-annoyed
on ahistroical uk always goes communist
for me
la resistance cringe
nuh uh.
a lot easier though
Sometimes they go fascist
oh boy cant wait to research 5 things to get an extra spy and never touch the thing again
thats exactly why not having it is cringe
makes sense
$15 btw
I actually use spies in my playthrough
show us your spy agency upgrades rn
fr having a button to just throw a country into civil war with no prep sounds very balanced
usually i get civilian, diplo training, comando training and anti partisan
oh and psyc warfare
thats right
researched 5 things and then didnt want to play with the agency upgrades anymore
i may do codebreaking later on tho for those juicy bonuses
if i get nukes before the ussr
can i just nuke him into capitulation
or how does it work
anti partisan goes up to 4 levels
nope
nukes cannot go into capitulation
nukes are borderline useless
unfortunately
its why i have a mod called nuke into capitulation
permanently installed
I'm not sure about their ideology to be honest
(besides if im doing achievement runs)
ahhh stalinism
lore accurate stalinism
I think you should surrender at Appomattox
(i have angered all tankies to ever exist)
I’m saving that
i hate when i have to shower, that means i can't play hoi4 for like 30 minutes bruh brb
its in kr btw
whats kx?
kaiserredux
ka is er dux
whats that
mod
worse somehow...
whats a mod?
schiso kaiserreich
a modification
I have been playing this one hoi4 Bulgaria game. For 5 hours.
Its 1948
I am invading the USSR
I already took Germany
if its not 11 hours you're not doin it right
i dont have any mods installed my country leaders have always been on a mewing streak
timezones are so cringe.
just
use one time
its simple really
CST of course
just have it be day everywhere
GMT is where the timezones start.
i dont make the rules either thats just how it is
sad
The USSR has taken 12 million casulties. And that is soldier casulties.
God knows how many civillians have died.
gotta pump those numbers up
How many men do they have😭
how many civilians do they have?
like 200m smh
They still have a minimum of 350 divisions.
dont forget stalin was for equality too
too many
I am not getting sleep tonight
if u gonna do encirclement every minute, they gonna still have it
I think every military aged men in Bulgaria is dead
scraped barrel?
I get like all my manpower from captured Russian territory
All adults serve
do scraped barrel xd
smh they're hardly even trying
everyone
I have already killed 12 million Soviet soldiers
It barely made a dent
scrape the barrel
Those are heavy heavy casuatlies
ik
I have to ask my allies for men because I got none left
thats only for garrision purposes
yeah
consider
downsizing your army
or
halting your push inwards
I did
for the time being
bro hes bulgaria hes gonna have to delete it 🥀
My marshals and generals are great defenders
guys uh
is signal company any useful
W?
Shiny pink color username person tells me to do something, I'll do it.
ofc w
completed the first focus but won't be able to complete any more
huh
WHO HAD 35 M CASUALTIES???
no please don't
ragnarok
Imagine not only paying for HOI4 and spending your day playing it, but also paying for boosts for the hearts of iron discord server.
they boost the server
could have been like 100m more but i got bored
ah ok
this
i havent played hoi4 at all this week
couldn't be @sudden thistle
Could never do that.
which one should i pick
which boosts
this is like an alcoholic saying "i haven't drunk this week"
graphite
purified graphite
graphite
why
god forbid i like a game
better moderator
i think its possible that
physics wise? idk
game wise? graphite makes them build nukes faster but cost more ic
heavy water makes them slower but cost less ic
yeah
and you're locked into the one you pick
nuk boms yay
It feels like I met you before a long time ago in another server. You and everyone else dogpilled me.
nope!
Maybe its just the pfp.
But its the exact same pfp
dude i chose like the 3rd one off google
rate my template guys
guys!!! at what lvl do soviets stop attack? as poland
Ok, I think I just got confused cuz of the pfp.
level?
9/183
pls translation
yh
level what
You mean fort level?
ye
Is that Swedish?
support aa and art, engie, hosp, signal comps 3 batallions of inf
just build 7 forts, on rivers or mountains
ts
soviet ai will attack regardless just farm off them
whyyyy why do people do this?
garrison your coasts ofc
its so cringeeee
Sweden is in NATO. That means NATO symbols are Swedish.
bro not
welcome to sweden
The nordic langauge is so wierd.
The AI kind of refuses to push into everything higher than lvl 5, I think.
Or less attacks. Germany doesn't really like going into the Maginot for example.
will bombing someones facility make them declare war on me
huh
welcome to sweden.
they stopped attack at 5 lvl forts
Yes, that is Sweden.
turn it off and its
so much easier to understand
You cannot bomb sth you are not at war with.
oh
they attack lvl 10 too
i would love a paradox game thats a mix between hoi and europa universalis set in ww1
sooo
something with a much more personal feel on the battles
austria hungary, pre GDR
have you ever heard of prt sc button
WHAT
but before they change the name to austria hungary
Cba
Ik
gray
give them a bunch of debuffs
sometimes
and take away
it's litearlly 1937 wtf
like 5 troops
can it start a civil war
what's going on in my ahistorical vro
no
you can start a civil war
by starting a civil war
and through focuses
no they don't
Nukes reduce some stability and warsupport and most likely damage factories of the state.
yes they do
yes.
How do I get rid of political paranoia
as the soviets?
dang i just wanna tear the USSR apart
Yeah
i played as poland and built 5 lvl forts, they didn't attack
you gotta use
this is the only way twin
political power
❤️
ok
I hope you get beat by Denmark. As the nazis
i don't play as nazi germany
Got 989 of it
hit the decision button
Who you play then
why do u have 989
and press the options
Cuz
would it be a perfect time to strike if the USSR is at war with the allies?
everything besides nazi germany
^ same
bronana peel
Ok
I have
ok
what?
Not rude
Forge satisfactory production reports?
rate the template
i need to know if that division template capable of withstanding anything
I'd say too many support companies for not enough men.
I would either add more battalions or reduce less support companies.
Get some fancy Mountaineers. :o
6/10
k so get rid of signal and add mech inf
gotcha
Sure.
Hospitals is a nice touch, because Greece doesn't have much pop.
Signals is just a bit weird.
better?
you need to progress down to this focus
yea
Dang. Eh.
We need an Infantry Template Expert for that.
Because the armor stat is so low, it gets pierced.
The Hardness is somewhat nice.
Maybe safe the Mechanized for tank divisions.
carried china here
this hurts my eyes
btw does the peace deal still exist?
the one after pushing japan out
Will do
Gonna declare on Germany first
The ussr still has a minimun of 2 million manpower even though they suffer 14 million casulties
I hate my lifw
I just wanna sleep
I am never playing as Bulgaria again
Guys, should I call it quits?
this is why kaiserreich is the best mod
Its 1948
road to 56?
help
vannilla
bc it often happens there
damn
how many hours do you have in hoi4?
looks like shit
yeah
i got like 140 by this point
wth front with allies and front with me
maybe 150-155 even
atp all you can do is just pause the game
type in tag sov
delete all their divs
type in tag bul
nice
and wait
bruh can the damn nationalists just take the white peace
good job uk
I have a better idea. I pause the game and click "Exit Game". Then delete this save file.
help
atleast make soviets suffer before you go
watch them crumble
get your speck of happiness
why does it tell me that i have no divs asignet and 0 transport
Of course
Anyways, last time I play Bulgaria in my entire life.
what is the best way to win the GCW in Götterdämmerung?
not enough transport tec?
Everyone shows screens so I drop mine
you need to research the second one to get more than 10 naval invasion capacity
tf
699 transports aint enough?
anyway rate this encircelment i made a while ago in gwr
why did you release pakistan
Attack attack attack
why did you uhm
i am not talking about convois
um
also got green seas in english channel
kkkkk
why did you give entire ethiopia to fcuking aussa
Cut the Nazis in two at the czech border

semi-constitutional monarchism
My college professor mocked me for playing hoi4 cause he hates the game and saw it in my library
???
How does your prof even know about it
He’s only in his 30s/early 40s
Is this a "my teacher played CK3 to teach us about the Crusades" moment but he really hates Hoi and wouldn't do that ever
He’s a massive history nerd
I’m doing a game development course ofc he’ll know it 😭
Why does he hate the game? Mad cuz Bad? does he think it's not accurate enough?
He played it back when it just came out
vhbjcjevj
Mean language
Super mean
I mean, did he tell you why he hated it?
He just said he didn’t like Germany’s focus tree 😭
He also said I look like the type to play it which like what does that mean 😭
Does he not know about GDR? Like if he played it when it first came out ofc he's gonna think it sucks but even after WTT it was pretty acceptable
You look like you don't pull
I have a gf 😭😭
He never payed attention to the dlc
Never said you couldn't, I just said your prof might think you don't look like you can pull
They said the same about me Bro. They hate us cus they ain’t us
Tbf he knows I have a gf cause she’s in my college class lmao
Ok I'm running outta reasons to justify this man's thinking pattern
Projecting 😳
GDR was peak on release
Unlike GOE 😭
I was speaking to this guy who plays hoi4 in my college class earlier and he was surprised I play it cause woman, and he was so annoyed when I told him I was gay 😭
He was indeed delusional
lobotomy
How did the roc get over there and how did the prc do that now
you should ask him what his fav chinese warlord is.if he doesnt say xibei san ma dont ever talk to him again
they just invaded them i asume
All my homies love the Ma Clique
fr
Ma Bufang moment
He’s one of the reasons the game got banned in China 😭
He fled to Saudi Arabia
time for my THIRD campaign as Italy
hopefully i actually learned something from my first two and don't die miserably
again
You practically won the game
duce path
so historical
but im playing with non historical ai
damn
non hist ai is ragebaiter final boss
idk it's more fun imo
made zero progess 1% complete must take paris
it is fun until all commie nations form a big ass faction which you cant defeat because they dont stop printing units
Even if I did pull I would be too oblivious to even know
Same ngl 😭
Didn’t start paying attention till after college and realized how many opportunities I missed
i'm still not too sure about the template im gonna use, they really confuse me
i just use a 3x3 inf with support artillery and engineer company
