what dlc?
what was
complaining to them wouldnt do anything
.
We can feedback tho
is that gotterdammerung or what since too many shortcuts
all of those are mid but no steb back and gotterdamnurengssfhuhu are best
yea no step back and gotterdammerung straight up carry my hoi4 games
fr, raids are actually really cool when u take the time to do it
is there anyone without gottedammerung
and its great because any country can do raids, focus trees are only available for one nation
do you get the old nuke mechanics without it
click on the province then the nuke button and it auto delivers
yea but the tank designer solos everything
precisely
also i would include by blood alone ONLY because of air designer
air is so vital i cannot stress it enough
aint no one playing eithopia or aussa bro
if you dont build an air force as a major might as well go do something else
i spent like 70% of my hoi4 career not building air
thought it wasnt important
only usedstarter airforce sometimes
and i wondered why i was loosing wars
lol
then i watched bittersteels hoi4 2025 germany guide
and ralized "wait air is important"
where is my manpower
paradox turned the most insignificant conflict of ww2 and managed to make massive focus trees for it
sneaky super-heavy bombard???
yea
are railways gun even good?
since i dont see a difference when i use them
I just use them cause they give a little nice bonus to attack, like naval bombardment
like 10 16%
also the little explosion makes it look nice
enjoying china as a noob with best friend shanxi
67
my lawyer has advised me not to continue with the threat
what country u playing btw
army germany
what am i looking at
i just found out those explosions even happened due to railway guns, lol
sometimes. battleships can cause them
i thought that showed the intensity of the battle
If you're near the shore
like how many divs and whatnot
should i rejoin this server i don't have any roles
i had them but like
i was in the server before the roles were changed to be added on-join
which can give very nice buffs
yeah imma rejoin acc gimme a sec
epic submarine fight
(its also why boats hang around a landing site during the actual battle
ts to
ive seen less subs survive more
alr back
what has austria done
are you playing gwr
gang i swear that's kaiserreich
nevermind austria isn't named empire
great war redux yes
hi guys
I need some help
I made a cool motorized division as mexico with man the guns dlc but
the div isn't too good as far as I'm seeing
i am doing mobile warfare doctrine
the division has Support Artillery, Engineer Company and Motorized Recon
For main battalions it has 9 mobilized battalions and 3 mobilized artillery
When I engage in battle, for example against the germans, it just stays on like 83 Or something (green bubble) without changing. As if it's like stalling or something.
What did I do wrong and does anybody know what it is?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME
cooked
am i tweaking or is 83 with a green bubble not "very likely to win"
wait no this is rly good
you could lose even at 99 green
organization 😠
they moved their capital to the one place i would reach first...
tf
out of the super heavy howitzer divisions the SINGULAR MILILITIA UNIT I FORGOT TO DELETE gets a breakthrough
are we fr
you got that right
peak gg
i killed france and only NOW get this event
I ACCIDENTLY KILLED FRANCE SO BAD THE AUTO PEACE DEAL FAILED TO FIRE
did they pass?
"200 positive and 56 negative reasons they will accept"
they did not
how do i get hungary to actually accept
do i have to improve relations? lend-lease?
why did belguim just take northern france
gang i'm actually boutta disolve my faction to join chinas for manpower
.
bro go play the lottery this is a 1 in 1000000 chance btw
just why
modded
i meant the belgium taking nord pas de calais
what is scotland doing
guys how do i get better at hoi4
italy falls
is that KX
any mods that expand on other aspects of hoi4 except for combat?
black ice?
Sfp has really nothing to do with arty. I don't care what the flavour text says. It just doesn't. The prussian doctrine is literally best on mass mob/gbp
there are loads of mods that expand on stuff like 'what if germany won ww1'
It's not the arty attack, it's the inf attack
yeah i just think mods that are mostly vanilla but expand on things like trade or money to be really cool
like millenium dawn but ww2
5% soft attack and hard attack for artillery 🤤
Yea man, 5% hard for a tech that has 1 hard
So cool
What path Hungary should I do for a nice and realistic game
blakc ice then
its not EXACTLY eco game
but it expands on 'realism' combat and non combat
1939 infantry equipment however:
yeah actually my request is too ambitious for a game about combat, i shouldve asked for a different game entirely
It's not for the equipment it's for the divs
Slight difference
Arty attack is useless
Oh yeah I just got up
I was referring to rifles btw in case I confused you
And yes arty attack is useless
2 divisions lol
sometimes i get notifications that someone is planning against me and sometimes they just declare on me without a warning; what does it depend on?
average submarine enjoyer
Why is Thalman helping the Whites out?
Idk but w communism
battle royale ahh moment
Guys why are my dlcs not showing up? I have them all installed
And activated
Cuz my tank designer it’s working, I got no step back active
restart you're pc
I have had this problem happen too
Ok
best hoi4 exploits?
wtf
No
Which sucks since old nukes are better
Raids are mostly meh too
yes just means you don't have enough divisions
you should have had full mass mob by now
wait no you are fascist
just go up conscription
no guns
...
i was at war with them
once more ☠️
u must free norway
teach this man how to play white finland💀
free them from germany
just to put them under another fascist regime
do u not also have the text finland tutorial saved?
it's not non aligned
which supposedly should be easier
its the same thing if u do through referendum
doesnt rlly matter
just gotta get stab
@flat gazelle doing world conquest
100%
i understand that its really hard to set up a nuclear strike irl back when it was new but theres no reason to still have to rely on that same mechanic after a while
really hurts if you want to use nukes as a tactical/operational weapon
Latvian classic
lmao
WWI mod?
gl
its actually kinda fun once you get uk out
ok
question, why is it that when i try to save a refitted ship designs it stops saving after a while?
tbf the entire run is fun
i ended civil war btw
its mid 37
but getting cores on whole south america in one focus is crazy
like no pp needed
what does control trade do
controls trade
how does navy work, how do i get troops to go sail
Why is my tank designer not working? I have mo step back active? (Novum vexilium mod)
is that a tno 2.0 or what
Sooo if Brazil does "Demand Total Portuguese Submission", Portugal is doomed to have 0% stability eventually?
they start with that
and their leader gives the same upwards
unless hes changed out
yeah they get generic tree when you do focus
China became a rail company?
yeah
1800’s US reference
bem
The comments said it was a kx for TNO
TNO being kr
oh i understand
imma see if it has content for more important nations
unlike original tno
is it me or is the german civil war harder than what it used to be?
i think the fascist used to start with militia like you too
but now they start with just infantry divs
Its the slightly improved ai
HII CHRIS
Do u have a strat bomber design for mp
Perchance
I’m doing a Chinese water torture build today
Add engine add bomb add range maybe
What about wings
No
Are those needed
Not needed
Ok
In germany, the trains run on time
so based
Level 1 rail in austria
the good ending
now release all the German states to undo the mistake of Prussian Militarism
Me when I make super Germany in vic3
its just Bulgaria though
also why did not split Yugoslavia between Serbia and Montenegro via releasables
because i wasnt at war with them?
ah didn't know
I usually have to fight Yugoslavia
with austria you barely have to fight anyone tbf
true but Yugoslavia is stubborn in my runs
fair I need to replay Austria, because I primary play Hungary for Austria Hungary
also Germany was breathing down my neck as it was historical
Fav ww2 weaponry? (including vehicles)
USS South Dakota
because my Great Grandfather served abord it
from 1942-1945
good battleship too
not so "mittel" europa
even if it broke down at Guadalcanal
probably would have been sunk there
had the USS Washington not intervened
this is disgusting
Not gonna lie, this is probably my fav in the theater Im interested in because it looks so weird at a glance lol
everytime
Dunno when it was used, or if it was even used
The year listed could be inaccurate lol
Maybe its not even used by the Central Government
But its still interesting
German KV1 is intresting too
its basically a converted KV1 to suit the Wehrmacht's needs
Thought i asked in off topic 😔
had to give up bucovina and now the borders are ugly 💔
ooof
how many divs do you have
and how much manpower and spare equipment
i could easily defeat them
i just cant be bothered
didnt make a single collab gov
then why did you give up Bucovina
.
didn't see that
but unless you are certain you cannot defeat a nation that demands land, you should fight them via defense or offensive given your situation
anyways I have a bizzare plan to not loose the Sudatenland as Austria Hungary
10/10 war plan
get in the Axis as Hungary led Austria Hungary
anyone wanna play?
i found out why i shouldnt declare war on the usa in 1937
bruh
2025 vs HOI4. Spot the Difference
now i just have to wait to core all of germany and until the british defeat japan
seems accurate
how do i break through the netherlands holding the largest river with 8 troops in each tile
if i do this focus wont it just be harder for me to turn communist?
anyone wanna play?
the famous austrian airforce
spanish civil war bordergore
It will be when the second half starts
ig
they annaxed it
They need to rework Portugal
spend 2 years coring germany just to get a cool name change
no shit
i meant that the phillipines are an us puppet and they havent fought them
Puppets are always better than annex unless you’re retaking a core or forming (or can core the annexed state)
Literally unplayable
Tbh sometimes puppets are way more annoying to manage
Would you rather that or 50% resistance in all of your territory with 20% compliance
Like when a puppet increases autonomy you need to build in it/lease it and then you need to wait a month to decrease it's autonomy and then you also need pp for all of that and you also directly feel losing resources/factories from a puppet while resistance is a background thing
If you know how to manage resistance and don't ignore it it won't be like that
In my experience most puppets don’t try and reduce their autonomy ever
guys how do i annex german france?
i want to from the greater german reich
form
oh wait i can
i'm stupid gng nvm
Lower its autonomy by building in it, lend leasing it, etc.
will that allow me to annex it
Yes eventually
how long
Decrease it's autonomy like 2 or 3 times and then annex for 300 pp+50 pp for every decrease in autonomy level
It’ll take a few years be patient
Wait you’re fascist you have the op puppets
how do i fix thius
If you lease it like thousands of convoys it can be like 2 months but you probably don't have like 2k convoys and 400 political power
There should be decisions to lower that
ONE YEAR????
-# almost
Yaay
Hey so I was going for the achievyment habsburgs habsburgs everywhere; I was play as Karl/poland and in a faction with otto/austria; it turns out the requirement is complete the focus habsburg alliance and has nothing to do with factions (like the check it runs is completing the focus)
Everybody loves long focuses
yes but no
I'm pretty sure it requires you to be in a faction with 2 other Habsburgs
Worth it
You're thinking no friends only family
Kk
cool hat
yea
The most important thing about any hoi4 leader
Also the moustache
@flat gazelle who should i invade first?
i usually go for paraguay and uruguay first
then argentina
then chile
then bolivia
and then peru
and ecuador colombia and venezuela
Yes
There should be decisions to decrease that
Also focuses
Sieze gold reserves decisions
Aim for higher % oned
Ones*
If at ww2
how do i form roman empire i tried taking uk but they threw a quadrillion divisions at me
you don't need the UK to form Rome anymore
or at least the first part of the formable
Is the RDCA Gonna win?
Which country are you
nvm, i invaded the whole south america alr
i am brazil btw
I’m pretty sure there’s a national focus that removes the spirit
You only need all of the Mediterranean
Then you have decisions to expand the Empire
the one to start the process
Btw don't you core all of Turkey and Spain and France once you form the Rome?
you core them via the expand the empire descion
I thought I cored all of Turkey
the Western Russian Empire?
IK
yea
not that he was a good person he was a bad dude but not batshit insane
the funk
yeah so it's Nazism + Romanov Cult
schizophrenic paths always have the best GFXs ngl
like Dugin's Solarists
you can't convince me it doesn't look cool af
he was only a Monarchist because he wanted to fit in before he became pro nazi as he was born Jewish as the Jews were persecuted by the Tsarist regime
not again
"take Mein Kampf, replace Aryans with Russians, glorify Romanovs - Call it Imperial Cult"
I hate the Tsarist regime the more I read about it
I feel bad for Alexander II
same
the people act when it's too late and people are ignorant when it's time to act
but Alexander III and Nicholas were pretty crappy leaders
Yeltsin?
Russias best chance IMO was Febuary 1917
ngl I also feel bad for Lenin
dictatorship was a temporary measure, yet he got shot by some anarchist
which allowed Stalin to rise
I somewhat do too because he BEGGED trotsky to suceeded him
and Trotsky said no
He prayed to Marxist spirit for Trotsky to succeed ngl
he was outplayed
Stalin pulled the strings
Russia will never prevail if the people won't understand the Russia
they work because that's all they have to do
Zinyovev and Kamnev if I'm saying their names right helped Stalin only to get betrayed
Schizo paths are always the best anyways
That's why I love kx
It's filled with schizo paths
only true gamers balance between making people feel the ultimate paradise and making people suffer till death
one wholesome day, another gaming day
I know alot about the 2nd part
One time I needed to take EVERY SINGLE Soviet victory point for it to cap
I've played Sablin, Zhdanov, GO4 Speer, RFK
dunno what else I played
from wholesomes
Are these tno paths
yea
I played holy Russian empire and burungdy
I once played Burgundy and I felt like LARPing against AI
like I don't simply win the civil war and World ends
I instead combat Germany and nuke the World
when will you guys play mutliplayer
Idk if i wanna play as Germany and do the civil war
I am bored af
Burgundy is just managing minorities on states and stuff
you can't tell me schizo GFX isn't badass
Didn't do anything else
that's why I felt like fighting over German influence
since Burgundy doesn't have unique mechanic for that, I just played with thoughts in my head till I won
I don't remember Germany being this messy on civil war
that's Second Brothers War
or SS War
or Second German Civil War
Never saw that
Play as Heydrich -> Don't fall into Burgundy's hands -> Collapse and fight for influence
Tno:
Add content on European nations ❌️
Add Antarctica and south American content ✅️
Trotsky didn't say no, he never even found out
In Lenin's will he basically said that anybody (EXCEPT STALIN ANYBODY BUT HIM) was fit to rule after him, but Stalin and his lackeys got ahold of it and got rid of it while Trotsky was busy in the Caucuses
Is collapsing world worth playing
Get employed
I have been playing this save a bit too long, the AI has gone all funky with borders
TNO:
Add content to Canada, finish HMMLR path, work on literally any of the countries in Europe that lack stuff ❌
Add Antarctica content ✅
Imagine playing tno
TNO 😴
how?
I already have been for 7 years at this point
It sucks innit
Happi
pay is high to the point that a hoi4 dlc is basically pocket change
U r really lucky
I know
which one is better?
im doing light aircraft
but multirole gives good staats
stats
mavag
probably shouldnt buy anything from paradox interactive anymore
alt history focus tree for germany
more special projects
it literally won't change your playthroughs at all
so should i buy it
what why
that's up to you
are they bad
well it wont affect me if i buy it or not right?
so its like a donation
yep
surely you get focus trees for Hungary and Belgium and Austria as well
but you won't be playing as those nations 99% of thr time
The only dlc you should actually buy are No step back and By blood Alone
those give you alot of options
intresting choice for By Blood Alone
given how it only impacts Italy Switzerland and Ethopia
we are talking about game mechanics
ah okay
Arms against Tyranny i would recommended too for Speical forces and arms market
and MIO's
people are going to keep buying and theyre going to keep over pricing
for alot of countries?
paradox DLC's are overpriced but compared to Tota War Warhammer
oh god
doesn't help that Warhammer is complete downgrade compared to Attila Total war
theyre still overpriced compared to that
cant i just get all of this with mods
did you hear about the Shadow of Change Drama
2 years ago
no i dont really follow any of that
in which the whole community threw a fit and forced CA to lower their prices for the DLC
good thats what paradox interactive player base will never do
and their has been some more drama because of how badly broken some factions are
they dont care about the average user's experience
every company TBH
there's mods for focus trees and history
but these mechanics you need to buy like the Tank and plane designer from these dlc
people keep buying
mine included
though the company I work for ensures quailty production and if you f up you're out the door
they only need players if multiplayer is the main goal
players meaning low money spending users
because the company I work for is basically quailty over quantity
they compensate spending a lot of time and make u feel like u accomplished something
so like here s 1$ worth of game currency
for your day spent playing this
so that users who spend money instead can have other users to play against
that s based actually
we make compotention pistols
I have to assemble the gun magazines
hi
hi
they are going to pay for us employees to play Paintball
on the 17th
I'm attending
as long as it doesn't pour
yes

We had free sliders
As in small burgers
Anybody know any fun less known total conversion mods

Just pirate from Fitgirl duh
Lol
paradox deserves nothing
Fr
i said before 2 secret service paradox agents dragged me away
Hey they are knocking on my door rn ☠️
Do it
Pack not individual
Support for political party?
Btw twin, ever played Viktoria Louise? @merry harness
am i cooked?
She is such best girl lol
yes
The hell you did with Sweden
now naval stockholm
they naval invaded me instantly
naval invade back
i didnt think that through
I am playing Sweden rn lol
I have never naval invaded once in my life
i did on uk
hardest thing in my life
before i did i built the bismarck
i just let my pal john host and he gets the dlcs from some random guy
so it protects the convoy
Dang
but he’s at basic training so i haven’t been able to play
Just pirate it
Why Peru lol
and brazil was allied to ussr
more allies
Wtf USSR in millennial dawn
the ussr was allied to japan
no vanilla
i was at war with both of them

Get the 8 dollar subscription
I am confused
all my troops in england
And decide from there
How did the AI-
I killed USSR 
germany
i pushed back
italy was a powerhouse and joined me
Wtf is wrong with ur timeline lol
china declared war on ussr
Whaaaaaa
i pushed the ussr back

...
Eh?
How tf
in another playthrough i splitted the US with japan
yes
well look for it and let me know
whole world was under germanys feet
Wolfenstein
played ww1 once and poland was formed during the great war and survived for 6 years
Pathetic
they were formed like an snake
well i was hungary and couldnt do much
played non historical
Well yeah, he could drag it on so...
i did the most
It was a german client state from 1915 -1918
I drag WW2 to fight fascist as non aligned and then soviet
austria took my fame
Until it became independent
Ohh
I knew there was plans about a polish kingdom/republic but I never really looked into it
It was one sided
Viktoria Louise is wife material. This is fact. I am an AL enjoyer
hearts of iron is peak cinema
To germanys benifits
Free buffer state fr
@merry harness is playing Wolfenstein on HOIIV lol
by doing..?
Being Germany
👏
Yeah but they still did get a buffer state between them and the Soviets
me as uk
Even if it wasn’t the same ruler or government
had my troops from kiel till münchen
True that both cananbalized
My brother from SCP 🙂
Lol
did I miss something?
and germany struck back
Nah he is being a freak
??? tf does this sentence even mean bruh
As usual
makes sense
You are from scp
Just ignore him
Hoi4 discord server is just 90% freaks and 10% people actually talking about the game
I’m in the 10%
Hey ):(
goodbye to your 7 divisions
same.
That kinda feel offensive
just hold berlin a little longer https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/7fss5WF5vuXRHvMsYRQXQH?si=8535b06dcc5c48c5
Its true
I am in both ):(
Not how it works
oh yeah forgot... germany pushed me back
Yes it is
i attacked berlin like napoleon went to mosco
Uh no, you have to pick or the other
why is there a blue and red german division? Or is that norway?
I talk about game and also woo Viktoria Louise
I was referring to the SCP comment
<@&846894118219022336>
Don't let them! 😄
Historically accurate
sorry mods for saying weird shit
but I just can't hold myself whenever I'm talking about schizo paths in HOI4
"If you win SSCW: Your leader "commits it" and Germany turns into anarchy.."
...
Oh hell naw
❤️
How is your day, guys?
i'm doing fine rn
Okie, keep doing fine
<@&846894118219022336> I hope you have a good day!
my democratic germany in 1943
Looks funny
Who was it
wanted the benelux but last second netherlands was allied with me
Idk some random guy posting those Elon musk Twitter scams
Take your goddamn meds
I am overdosed on my med, what do you mean
Jk am ain't crackhead
Sur, where are your divisions
Cute
Idk man everytime I play HOIIV, I am extra nice
Habit
HOIIV
HOIIV
);)
If I don't play HOIIV for a day I gunna be really hateful
ohhh
democratic play throughs rot my brain
HOIIV is better than therapy and it's free
??? hoi4 isnt free dude
oh i had it on civ
I mean it doesn't have monthly subscription
Only 1 time
that doesnt make it free
It doesn't cost thousands of dollars
and therapy does?
What do you mean it doesn't
what is that leader
I no like Nazi and commies, Unaligned is my girl
Absolute forking giga chad
Anime History
Is there a way to keep that guy tho
On fork god
yes
crazy
someone played fembavaria once
I traded bro for Viktoria:(
And you get him back
Yep
I woo Viktoria
Viktoria is peak though
how many hours on hoi4 do you have
Dunno like 100 or more
actually general question
Did you know, in real life, viktoria was a massive supporter of the NSDAP until the end.
I stopped counting at 100
who has over like 1k hours
Wha-
I'm like 100 hours away
Ik
Yes
damn i'm only now 500
Viktoria was a supporter of the NSDAP
560
I understand navy
She doesn't know right?
She knew near enough as much as the average waffen officer did
She doesn't know what they did
Oh she did ^w^
"i understand navy" bros when they get the man the guns dlc and that entire knowledge is completely obliterated
She didn't support that aspect of it though
Still waifu material
I've had man the guns DLC since I first got the game sir
damn it! :(
Just like me back then
hehehaw
I got all dlcs 🙂
i just do the classic sub spam in the mid 40s or 39
same
Lame
lol
Build an actual navy
i mostly play as minor nations too, major wise i only play germany, republic of china or italy
And do a grand battle
Fair fair
Bismarck my lova
i finally manged to defeat uk
I actually did build a good navy
As Guatemala
turns out paratroop spam is op
I got my Sweden navy lol
After i formed the central american republic
