[thick kettle]

MP is getting too expensive

[sonic sand]

[azure palm]

Its good

[sudden thistle]

Mass mob ❤️

[coarse willow]

im surprised too cuz apparently my template sucks 😭

[safe wing]

Communism too

[coarse willow]

entrenchment stacking n some forts

[thick kettle]

MP is getting too expensive, i'm probably not gonna do this one and reduce 1 div due to manpower

-# ignore the cpu

[azure palm]

i just looked at the template, what is that?

[safe wing]

[coarse willow]

i thought it was good 😢

is field hospital good for my situation or am i tweaking

[safe wing]

This + marx portrait

[subtle elm]

best thing in the game

[azure palm]

can happen to anyone. But 3x3 is always good

[subtle elm]

i use mass mob for every nation

i WILL make it work

[safe wing]

I use GBP and MA

[sonic sand]

man i hate communist war tactics

[safe wing]

GBP for majors and MA for minors

[coarse willow]

[drifting igloo]

what does mining the waters do ?

like the sea mines

[safe wing]

Sea mines

Only put them in no
Mans land tbh

[craggy trail]

Mining also give some naval supremacy

[brittle cypress]

42w with line arty what is this

[drifting igloo]

why ?

[safe wing]

If you don’t have minesweepers your own ships can hit them

I think

[drifting igloo]

if im at war with ethiopia... Could i just mine all of the Mediterranean for the war with the allies

[safe wing]

Mine the area off Suez and Gibraltar only

[drifting igloo]

oh

[craggy trail]

Planes can also do aerial minesweeping as well

[subtle elm]

i just battle plan and hope enemy runs out of inf equipment (actual strategy for soviets)

[safe wing]

This only works as nations with insane industrial bases tbh

[subtle elm]

but for any other nation its likely gonna fail

[safe wing]

As someone who mains Italy this isn’t viable until I reform Rome

Which is late game

[cursive oxide]

How do I para drop the UK ?

[brittle cypress]

Paratroopers

[devout trench]

Get transport planes and a lot of fighters

[uneven portal]

its the meta, duh

[cursive oxide]

I now

[devout trench]

Also CAS if you don’t wanna die

[eternal palm]

😭

[devout trench]

1000 soft attack is gonna obliterate anything

[coarse willow]

yeah we r done now wtf

ive had to retreat twice

[devout trench]

The anti air is the only thing saving you

[dusky burrow]

"jesus christ" is right

[devout trench]

[coarse willow]

[devout trench]

Convert all civs into mils

[coarse willow]

[coarse willow]

what do i even do when i getting attacked non stop

[thick kettle]

im battling with ideology right now

let's hope i win (will hire advisors but they're 150 so i'm gonna have to wait)

[devout trench]

There is no point in civs when defending a singular province

[devout trench]

What mod is this…

[azure palm]

How can I afford this?

[devout trench]

This is kaiserreich level political power spending

[devout trench]

Put all of your mils on infantry equipment

[coarse willow]

REAL

the ratio was even worse early in the war

[uneven portal]

battle of verdun ahh fight

[azure palm]

is there any nation you all genuinly like playing as democratic?

[loud anchor]

the real question is have you lost a single province or are they still looking for that first meter

[coarse willow]

brazil

i will die on this hill brazil democratic is so fun

or like argentina but i played that a long time ago

[loud anchor]

France
you can early war rush as any country (germany, italy) so the bonaparist path was never really that interesting

[uneven portal]

hes lost everything thats not a vp in belgium

[azure palm]

makes sense

[azure palm]

have you one in europe?

[uneven portal]

cus apparently belgiums vps are just all packed in the center

[loud anchor]

I actually did a democratic game as britiain and it was a good time
i don't recall if I denied the czechs or not

[azure palm]

Im gonna go pray for belgium...

[coarse willow]

its basically like the US but slightly weaker but way more fun

[uneven portal]

czechs can go get gobbled up

[coarse willow]

u can have alot of fun researching cool shit and core south america

[loud anchor]

but you can actually get a really good army for the war with germany
and then defeat in detail Italy+Germany by preventing them from entering the water

[azure palm]

have you ever played Sweden Democratic?

[coarse willow]

thats also really fun

[coarse willow]

please do

[loud anchor]

uhmmm
does kaiserriech count?

[uneven portal]

sweden is a country in central africa, its capital is singapore, it borders the coutnries Australia and Paraguay

[azure palm]

I love going the centralized nordic army command focus and then uniting the nordics

[loud anchor]

yeah
I didn't buy that dlc
so I did in in rd56 with the monarchy

[coarse willow]

please include belgium in ur prayers

[uneven portal]

[coarse willow]

this isnt even a quick death

all these battles are so slow

[uneven portal]

u woulve held longer if u joined as the germans declared on the dutch

cus like

[safe wing]

Democratic Germany is really fun now too

[uneven portal]

the allies usually shove 500 divisions in the benelux

[coarse willow]

the number goes down 1 by 1 by 1

[uneven portal]

and think it's funny

[coarse willow]

true

i still hold the port of antwerp idk why the allies dont do anything with it

[uneven portal]

that shit is full of river crossings bro

[north spoke]

The AI is artificially unintelligent

[coarse willow]

It always is strategy games I play without mods

[coarse willow]

cough cough

i hate the allies

its over

[dusky burrow]

First of all 40 width bad

[safe wing]

In one of my Attila total war games as the Western Roman empire @north spoke a whole army of Jutes literally killed themselves by staying in a swamp near Londinium

[dusky burrow]

You could do mass mob and drop the combat width to 32

[uneven portal]

you literally dont, 9/0 is good enough

[north spoke]

Real

Ai is always dumb

The allies are so stupid but I still can't sealion

[safe wing]

They could have easily taken it too

[coarse willow]

the only country in all of the allies that has battle plans based in my country

is india

and their units arent even here yet

[safe wing]

But they would rather get Malaria than riches

[uneven portal]

can u speak english? i dont understand europa universalis-ian

[north spoke]

I don't appreciate how the British can pull a bunch of divisions out of Narnia to foil my sealion, but it is pretty realistic that the citizens would step up

[safe wing]

A game about the fall of the western roman empire

[azure palm]

good night

[coarse willow]

are you guys proud of me

[safe wing]

The Jutes the native people of Jutland at the time invaded Roman britian in my game and just wasted away in a swamp

[wind swift]

[uneven portal]

at 2000 sir

by then you should know the basics

[azure palm]

i have 800

[wind swift]

Ok nice

[uneven portal]

at 5000 you find out how ships go vroom

[wind swift]

I sunk a ship once!

[devout trench]

560 hours to learn infantry

[uneven portal]

at 12000 ur a sweaty comp mp player

[azure palm]

and at 7000 you find out how airforce works

[uneven portal]

you sank a ship at the cost of your navy

[uneven portal]

[wind swift]

At 10k im a ginger German streamer 5hat never finishes a campaign

[uneven portal]

the easiest shit

[wind swift]

Dont expose my strats! 😅

[uneven portal]

i never finish my campaigns too

[azure palm]

yeah not that long but it took me way to long to find out how airforce works

[wind swift]

Tbf they never really end

[uneven portal]

its just click plane, click mission, click region

voila

whats so hard

with that

[devout trench]

Air Force is just staring at menus for a little bit to understand it

[azure palm]

i dont know.

[devout trench]

and watching number and bar go up and down

[north spoke]

The real annoying thing is navy.

[azure palm]

Its easy, but i somehow did it wrong and started only bombing citys

[uneven portal]

navy is actually really simple if u understand

[azure palm]

IF you understand

[north spoke]

So is everything

[devout trench]

I end my campaigns at conquest of Africa, europe, and Asia

[azure palm]

wich one

[devout trench]

If I have to ever open navy view to get somewhere it can be left alone

[north spoke]

I hate navy because the British empire

[uneven portal]

[uneven portal]

its tommykay

[uneven portal]

bro their navy is so shit they tell their marines to swim to japan

[north spoke]

Tommykay vs supply hubs. Who will win

[devout trench]

Why do supply hubs take so long to build fr

[north spoke]

Good question

[uneven portal]

just build it early

[azure palm]

I already know im gonna fall into a rabbit hole watching every single video this man has ever made...

[north spoke]

But supply hubs should be a priority

You should focus on taking supply hubs during a war

[uneven portal]

no shit

[devout trench]

I focus on making red circle turn green

[north spoke]

I feel like supply hubs affect that

[icy crescent]

Didn't know you get the event even when going the red path.

[thick kettle]

Chin

[uneven portal]

love the mod

❤️

[azure palm]

accept.

[devout trench]

supply in China is unheard of

[uneven portal]

sigmas of iron

[slim nexus]

What do you all think next years big dlc will be

[thick kettle]

never again

why are there only 2-3 railways on barely any province

[north spoke]

True

[azure palm]

supply in africa is even worse

[thick kettle]

no sherlock

[uneven portal]

uk usa reowrk

[devout trench]

In Africa your fellow troops are the supply

[north spoke]

Definetly

[slim nexus]

You think they’ll do both in one dlc

[uneven portal]

if mtg is getting integrated, they need to give the usa and uk a cooler focus tree

[icy crescent]

Red path leads to a civil war.
Nay, not going to give them the Hilter man.

[azure palm]

prob, they always do multiple nations in one DLC i think

[north spoke]

Prob not the same dlc but the same bundle

[uneven portal]

probabl

[devout trench]

Indonesia and Vietnam supply

[slim nexus]

They usually dont do 2 majors in the same dlc

[north spoke]

Japan and china

[uneven portal]

they do

[devout trench]

China and Japan

[uneven portal]

china isnt a major

[devout trench]

It is

[slim nexus]

Im thinking like germany, italy, japan, usa, uk and france

[north spoke]

Nationalist china is

[uneven portal]

it only becomes a major in the sino japanese war

[wind swift]

Im playing hoi4 while I'm supposed to be listening to a teams meeting about October sales

[uneven portal]

it isnt a major on game start

but in the sino japanese war

[terse ether]

technically they're on the major pick screen

[uneven portal]

it ascends to major status

[terse ether]

and considered majors by everyone

[icy crescent]

It is a major because they create a faction.
And faction leaders always become majors.

[uneven portal]

exactly

but theyre a minor on game start

[north spoke]

So theoretically I could make Luxembourg a major

[uneven portal]

yes

[devout trench]

Yes

[icy crescent]

Yes.

[uneven portal]

if you have the national spirit to create factions

then yes

[icy crescent]

Not exactly spirit.
More like a check.

[sonic sand]

peak fiction.

[slim nexus]

I mean like these countries

[devout trench]

Base focus tree actually is better than some dedicated focus trees

[slim nexus]

On the top with big portraits

[uneven portal]

those are the majors

[sudden thistle]

Majors…?

[slim nexus]

Yes

[uneven portal]

and>

[icy crescent]

Very majors.

[uneven portal]

??

[slim nexus]

I dont think they will do two of them in the same dlc

[sudden thistle]

Very major much

[slim nexus]

But id be happy if they did

[north spoke]

Cold take: Italy shouldn't be a major

[dusky burrow]

Ahahaha what is the German Reich doing in this list?? 😭 😭 😭 😭

[sudden thistle]

Germany isn’t even important in this ww2 game

[icy crescent]

They have the required factory count.
Actually more than Japan.

[devout trench]

Italy could be defeated by ma clique

[sudden thistle]

Get them OUT of here

[sonic sand]

Hot take: poland should be a major just like look at these borders

its huge

[uneven portal]

i mean japan is a major and since china becomes a major within the first year of the game, thats 2 majors in one dlc

[dusky burrow]

To make it important they have to give like 50% more political power gain and 90% construction buffs what is this

[slim nexus]

True they should lowkey just remove the focus tree for germany its unnecessary it doesnt add anything

[sonic sand]

should i just post cursed hoi4 images?

[icy crescent]

You need like 54-57 factories at the start of 1936 to be considered a major.
(70% of the average of the top 7 nations)

[uneven portal]

they should delete turkeys focus tree

[slim nexus]

Damn right

[uneven portal]

no u dont

LMAO

[sonic sand]

is this accurate

[uneven portal]

yes theres a minimum factory count u need

[sudden thistle]

Yes

[uneven portal]

but its not that high in 1936

[icy crescent]

It is.

How high is it then?
You calculated it?

[uneven portal]

dont the japanese have like no factories

[sonic sand]

lore accurate US?

[uneven portal]

on game start

[sudden thistle]

46 I think

[sonic sand]

no factories?

[uneven portal]

yep

[terse ether]

its 35

iirc

[uneven portal]

yes

i remember it being 35

[terse ether]

so he's kinda right

[uneven portal]

35

[icy crescent]

Yes, but Japan has the 7th most.
Therefore a major.

[sudden thistle]

34? 💀

[uneven portal]

its not 54-57

its 35

[uneven portal]

typo omfg

[icy crescent]

What?

[dusky burrow]

Everything is bigger in Tibet

[terse ether]

MAJOR_IC_RATIO = 3, -- difference in total factories needed to be considered major with respect to other nation
MAJOR_MIN_FACTORIES = 35, -- need at least these many factories to become a major

There is also a hard count of 7...or to put another way, if you annex all of the existing majors the 7 countries with the most IC will be considered majors plus any country with at least 70% of the average of those top 7.

MIN_MAJOR_COUNTRIES = 7, -- MIN_MAJOR_COUNTRIES countries with most factories will be considered as major countries
ADDITIONAL_MAJOR_COUNTRIES_IC_RATIO = 0.7, -- Countries will also be considered major when having more factories that the average of top MIN_MAJOR_COUNTRIES countries' factories times ADDITIONAL_MAJOR_COUNTRIES_IC_RATIO

[sudden thistle]

Still

[terse ether]

(from forums)

[sudden thistle]

Not much

[uneven portal]

thank you bittersteels minion

[sudden thistle]

Nerd

[sonic sand]

i wonder who wins this

[restive saddle]

Has anyone tried using AI(ChatGPT, Gemni ones) to make optimal divisions?

[icy crescent]

70% of the top 7.
And it happens to be around 50.
Because the USA is really inflating the number.

[uneven portal]

[terse ether]

https://tenor.com/view/minon-gif-9887453683667785394

my money is on nationalist spain

[terse ether]

no, dont

it gets its sources from old reddit posts

[uneven portal]

moddie please take ur time to read this @icy crescent

[restive saddle]

SO thats why it suggested 9/1

[terse ether]

yes

[terse ether]

thats a 2017 division

see

[sonic sand]

yes.

[terse ether]

it sucks

[icy crescent]

35 factories doesn't make you a major.
It is a requirement. To allow you to become a major.
You don't become one.

[thick kettle]

I'm done

[sonic sand]

oh lordddd

[uneven portal]

yes we're talking about the minimum factory count

[uneven portal]

14/4

14/4

We weren't.

[sonic sand]

14/4

[terse ether]

this is so ahh 😍

[uneven portal]

sure

[restive saddle]

I was thinking of manually explain the land battle mechanics (explainining important stats too), then feeding it the battalion stats to limit its information then ask it to make divisions
may seem like too much work but I am writing a paper on this

[uneven portal]

14/4 meta is revived

long live the 14/4 meta

[terse ether]

prolly won't work too, listing pure stats won't help as the ai doesn't have practical experience in-game

it also doesnt take all factors into account

[sonic sand]

i wonder what would happen if we made chat gpt play

hoi4

[terse ether]

it also doesnt know shit about meta

[sonic sand]

like would they be cooked?

[dusky burrow]

At this point all 40 widths are ragebait

Raging me of course

[uneven portal]

14/4 + sfp destroys all multiplayer meta tanks

Noooo not the chat gpt hoi4 advice

Thats like most of my research meta bais vs AI thinking

[terse ether]

this message has been approved by the hoi4 reddit sub ✅

[dusky burrow]

You naval invaded into mountains with 14/4s?

Also why Enclave, BoS obviously superior

[wanton whale]

Yes

[slow nova]

ok

[slow nova]

awesome

[wanton whale]

I'll dm you once it's here and I've eaten it

[restive saddle]

I tried explaining how artillery is bad combat width to damage stat wise.
it still suggested adding line artillery in divisions

[slow nova]

you like girls???

it's a question

[slow nova]

a division with full artillery is OP

[wanton whale]

I have a girlfriend

[dusky burrow]

I'll get to that point, but first I have to fix its combat width calculations

[slow nova]

and I can assume that

[wanton whale]

Went on a hike with her today

[slow nova]

ok

[icy crescent]

Skip liking.
You understand girls?
Huge.

[wanton whale]

I don't understand girls but, I'm doing something right

[restive saddle]

I will try that I have chat where I have broken down and explained most land combat mechanics, by breaking down the code

[dusky burrow]

I've never seen the AI do this before, interesting

The funny thing is that I actually used this template before

But in GWR

Where field artillery is 2 width and guns only have 1 breakthrough

It's doing much better

[misty fossil]

You should make a 14/4 copypasta and send it to me

[misty fossil]

is that chatgpt

[misty fossil]

highly respectable pfp btw

[dusky burrow]

Yes

[sinful cloud]

[flat gazelle]

genuinely first time ever seeing this

[misty fossil]

[dusky burrow]

I don't think you can tbh

You have 0 manpower

[sonic sand]

anarchism is so dumb like... you need a state otherwise a state will be forced on you

[misty fossil]

emirate of afghanistan is crazy

[sonic sand]

I'm modding 🥀 Just wondering if I should put a bit more stats into heavy attack or piercing for heavy infantry

[hot patrol]

[devout trench]

Because it hasn’t been fully released

[finite plume]

They aren't out yet

[hot patrol]

bruh

that doesn't make sense

how do i have the dlc then

[devout trench]

The license for it is on steam for pre-order

[finite plume]

Ever heard of pre-order?

[hot patrol]

i mean yeah but if it shows up that i have it in the launcher then its a bit misleading isn't it

[safe wing]

But thats only because I peaced out ethopia

[wheat copper]

wtf is anarcho communism? arent they complete oppisites?

[safe wing]

Because Goering actually said that

[wheat copper]

hoi4.exe

[safe wing]

Unsurprising given how grossly incompetent he was

The greedy, corrupt, addicted head of the Luftwaffee

[sinful cloud]

yeah i shouldn't have went with irregulars in hindsight

[safe wing]

Who was detested by his fellow nazis

[dusky burrow]

No don't actually do 11/5 or the like, I hadn't completed my chatgpt questionnaire

That said the serious answer would be a block of 32.4 width mountaineers or 32 width mass mob infantry (you're Hungary, you're fighting in a lot of mountains)

[safe wing]

In the final days of wwii he betrayed hitler to save his skin

[dusky burrow]

Afghanistan is perhaps the best cavalry nation in the game rn, the irregulars branch isn't too bad

[wheat copper]

damn

I dont blame him tho

hitler was a pretty bad dude

[safe wing]

To save his skin And try to get the allies to fight the USSR if I remember correctly

Neither worked

[safe wing]

Himmler did the same

[wheat copper]

imagine a world where the bolsheviks lost.

and communism stopped existing

[safe wing]

Germany and italy would be communist tbh

[wheat copper]

probably

[lilac mango]

No enemy bomber can reach the Tannu-Tuva. If one reaches the Tannu-Tuva, my name is not Göring. You may call me Meyer.
-Hermann Runstedt maybe

[wheat copper]

nah but what is yalls favorites dlcs? out of all of them

mine is Götterdämmerung

cause germany

[safe wing]

No step back, and gotterdamerun

[wheat copper]

oh yeah

[bronze mango]

Greater germanic reich

[wheat copper]

I forgot abt no step back

[safe wing]

And Hot take I liked by blood alone for Italy

[frank estuary]

Played Cangaco in my first run. Is ANL a better option?

[bronze mango]

Real

[wheat copper]

havent played italy to much ngl

[safe wing]

I think he was referring to the whites winning

[wheat copper]

might have to try it again

[safe wing]

So we would have communist germany

And italy

Instead of the USSR probably

[wheat copper]

communist germany before gta 6 is crazy

[ripe slate]

Italy's best path is free though

[safe wing]

Monarchist isn’t free

[wheat copper]

also do yall wanna see my democratic germany playthrough?

I just defeated italy

[bronze mango]

Well duh. Nazi germany would probably still form and Russia not having industrialised gets crushed

[safe wing]

Mussolini is good but monarchist has better bonuses

[wheat copper]

and made them my puppet

[safe wing]

Not necessarily

[ripe slate]

I like the USSR/Italy shared diplomacy branches which are free

[lilac mango]

Are there ppl use mountaineers?

[safe wing]

Hitler and Mussolinis rise was based on the fears of communism by parts of their nation

[wheat copper]

well I got a hot take for you. nazi germany would still form if hitler got into art school

[safe wing]

Not true either

[dusky burrow]

Yes

[lilac mango]

[wheat copper]

I think another dictator would come to power

to replace hitler

[safe wing]

Mountaineers are goated

[bronze mango]

Unlikely, its sorta is hitler that rocketed the nsdap to power

[safe wing]

There were other parties

DNVP KPD

[bronze mango]

Also hitler's paintings were pretty bad

[dusky burrow]

ChatGPT thought organization was summed instead of averaged 🙁

[lilac mango]

How

[safe wing]

To name just 2

[safe wing]

I had 250 soft attack

[wheat copper]

not true

[safe wing]

They were bad but still better than most artists on deviant art which isn’t saying much

[lilac mango]

What width

[safe wing]

Also deviant art is a shithole

[bronze mango]

The bar is ludicrously low

[safe wing]

Thats what I said

[merry idol]

Are you a politician by any chance?

[safe wing]

No and nor do I want to be

[bronze mango]

Quite nice. Bonus points of not being literally hitler

Huh, 88 piercing for AA2? IDK

[ancient marsh]

obv it has mp application though

[grizzled zenith]

Bro Franco is cooking

[safe wing]

Given how the kriegsmarine was gutted after the campaign

[grizzled zenith]

Why is Hitler so stuuuuuupid

[ancient marsh]

the royal navy actually suffered worse losses but the kriegsmarine couldnt sustain what they lost

given they lost the admiral hipper

err wait they may have lost another heavy crusier

i dont know

[safe wing]

Blutcher and 12 destroyers

And a few light cruisers too I think

[ancient marsh]

ik they lost a heavy cruiser and some light cruisers

[safe wing]

They lost half their destroyers

And some idiot a few months ago said Germany could of won because they could have gotten the azores from Portugal to secure oil supplies from Venuzuela

The problem is they couldn’t have protected their tankers

[ancient marsh]

people will always think germany had a chance

[merry sequoia]

Guys what should I do to build my German economy I have already gotten as far as I currently can with prioritize economic growth are there other focuses?

[safe wing]

He was very anti semetic too

[ancient marsh]

romanticization of them as some behemoth of a military

and more common nowadays romanticizing the government and ideology,,,

[ancient marsh]

what year is it

and what are your goals

[dusky burrow]

This is hilarious

[merry sequoia]

1937 just started I want to build my civilian economy so I can build my military later on

[dusky burrow]

4 light tank recon

[ancient marsh]

how many civs you got rn

[safe wing]

Even though he was British and of African descent

[ancient marsh]

if you're PEGing you can stop at around 70-80 civs

since your consumer and output and growth penalties are worse you can spend more time to reinvest into getting more mils out after the fact

[merry sequoia]

Currently have 51 building 31 more

[ancient marsh]

you'll catch up in production by mid 39ish

[sudden thistle]

Ez win

[ancient marsh]

did you rush anschluss

[merry sequoia]

No

[ancient marsh]

going to assume no

id

begin prepping to anschluss and cut that 31 down to 20-22

[feral lark]

well, this is shaping up to be an.....interesting....game.

[ancient marsh]

after that point shit out mils

also try to build on states with dams

[merry sequoia]

Lemme just finish my rur dam rq

[ancient marsh]

like westfalen, hessen, and rhineland

[merry sequoia]

Should I go for Poland before allies help?

[ancient marsh]

you might be past that point and it becomes impossible after anschluss but if you want ?

if japan already dec on china dont bother

they'll get guaranteed

[merry sequoia]

No Japan's done nothing yet

[ancient marsh]

its 1937 they'll dec before your done justifying

[fair horizon]

im scared to ask what this means

[safe wing]

Prioritized economic growth

The alternative to MEFO bills

Viable as alt history Germany

[merry sequoia]

Wait what I didn't get Austria Hungary did

[fair horizon]

no, now you just get both of them :)

[merry sequoia]

True

[glacial crag]

anyone knows if the shaken not stirred achievement works on the latest patch or is it still broken?

[safe wing]

I don’t know

[ancient marsh]

probably still broken

its been broken for at least 4 years now

[tropic lance]

waiting for isorrow to comment on it

[tribal zephyr]

Reminds me that the, 4th building slot in a few settlements such as Aelia Capitolina for example is still broken in Attila and will never be fixed because CA abandoned the game

[azure palm]

do you know any template for germany that are really good but also sustainable?

[safe wing]

What kind? defensive or offensive

[azure palm]

i would say offensive prussian doctrine

[safe wing]

10/8 armor/mechanized

[azure palm]

ill try

[burnt delta]

I'm on rt56

[azure palm]

Currently im using a full inf template with one row of light tanks and a lot of support artillery. Its not sustainable at all

[sudden thistle]

💀

[azure palm]

I have like -9000 tanks...

[safe wing]

It uses la resistance

[azure palm]

the infantry isnt bad, i have 96 full infantry divisions and it works perfectly, just the tanks are really expensive

[sudden thistle]

Bruh

[burnt delta]

ah

[azure palm]

plus im at war with austria wich are now the axis, russia wich are facist and then japan...

and my only ally britain is fighting a war with the USA...

[stark wedge]

1947 and the germans are still in russia

[crisp stone]

Why dis be lookin' like a MC Iron helmet 🥀

[leaden rover]

how much civilian factories should i get before starting to build mils as historical germany

[tropic lance]

it's nice to build 2 or 3 more before building mils

you can never have too many civs

[brittle cypress]

The usual advice is just don’t build any

[tropic lance]

recoveing economy is going to cripple your civs though

[brittle cypress]

you can build like 1-8 civs (not optimal) depending on if you don’t rush Anschluss (not optimal) so that you can still do your research slot focus

[brittle cypress]

Simply go 4yp

It’s hist Germany

[wanton whale]

A button

[tropic lance]

prt scr is clipping button or something

[brittle cypress]

Windows key + shift + s

[terse skiff]

you'll want 50 to get the research slot, otherwise usually you build civs until 2.5 years before war

Welp, WW3 in 46 ig

Only 9 hours I need to waste more of my time watching colors change

Oh misspelling

[gaunt flint]

hey, I know this is prob a stupid question but this is my first time trying the US. I was trying to go fascist and got a civil war, but had no option trees like other civil wars. for example I could not make some places come to my side etc, I didnt see aynthing in the decision tree

[safe wing]

that civil war is outdated

[gaunt flint]

and I lost because I barely had any divisions. the civil war just broke out without me seeing any decisions in the decisions sections like other civil wars

[safe wing]

though Work with the Bund and the FreeCorps are mandatory focuses

as the Bund gives you the midwest

[gaunt flint]

I see

[safe wing]

and the Freecorps 48 9/0 infantry

[gaunt flint]

yeah I skipped those

I expected to have a buffer period before the civil war starts and I could have a decision tree similar to others

well actually I mostly play communist or historical and I have that tree where I can organize workers, so mayeb that is just how fascistic revolutions go? I dont play fascist often

[gaunt flint]

anyways thanks ill just go with these then

[deep solstice]

tf goin on in turkey

ill add these

[deep solstice]

Honestly

why did the soviet union

do better once I quit helping them

they were in like sverdlovsk
