Or at least beat soviets navy

[crisp wyvern]

the soviet navy is just like the tsushima one

[fervent minnow]

[crisp wyvern]

Joseph Stalin spawning 345M soviet soldiers out of the thin blue to defend a small house in dnitropetrovks

[mellow spire]

I fought soviets and I lost like 400k men and they lost like 2 mil or snt

[crisp wyvern]

i fought against the peruvians as colombia in an attempt to restore gran colombia once

war took soo looong

[mellow spire]

Superior fire power clutched lol

[crisp wyvern]

375K casualties from colombia

and 1.78 or so Million casualties for peru

that's like a quarter of peru's population, or around that

[wet plover]

I’m currently fighting the Soviets and they’ve taken like 34M losses 😭

[crisp wyvern]

i have no idea what just happened, but anyways, what are your guys best run in hoi4?

[safe wing]

<@&846894118219022336>

[marsh ravine]

Poland ahist

[crisp wyvern]

Bulgaria

managed to fend off the romanians and Yugoslavs and capped greece

[marsh ravine]

Far into Russia and got declared on by usa+democratic ger when the nearest division to that front was at leningrad😭

That was one of tje most fun games I've ever had in sp

[crisp wyvern]

the most fun i had playing hoi4 was playing as austria hungary

defended czechoslovakia with undertrained divisions, lacking equipment, and with no air support whatsoever

had to defend the entire country until the allies could come to bail out my ahh

i got germany as a puppet after the war

[marsh ravine]

For mp its playing the ww1 mod as german coop, accidentally threw the entire eastern front but still managed to win the whole game cos Russia players for some reason were rly bad at pushing me further than kustrin or however u spell it

[crisp wyvern]

1.2M losses for germany btw

[marsh ravine]

The bit infront of berlin

[solar tundra]

how do i make divisions

what layout is good

[marsh ravine]

BASED

[crisp wyvern]

i also got poland, romania and turkiye as allies after that

[solar tundra]

can i play as croatia

[crisp wyvern]

sure

here

i challenge you to kill 1M serbians as croatia

make slobodan milosevic mad

or karadzic

idk

[solar tundra]

How do i make croatia

[crisp wyvern]

Release it as Yugoslavia, if you can't, then just go down the focus to release all of them as either puppets or independent nations

Or get the Axis to invade Yugo

[safe wing]

If some creepy 20 year old walked to my cousins and wanted to play with them, I would call the cops

[solar tundra]

But then can i play as croatia

[marsh ravine]

Could release it as Italy but jts alot harder

That way

[crisp wyvern]

Yup

[solar tundra]

:3

[crisp wyvern]

Just open the console and type "tag_cro" and play as them once they are independent

[brittle cypress]

How does Croatia form normally in vanilla? I forgot

I never see it happen

[solar tundra]

can i take over the world as croatia

[marsh ravine]

German dec on yugo

[crisp wyvern]

I shall not permit that

[marsh ravine]

And they r not capped quickly

Or whatever

[crisp wyvern]

https://tenor.com/view/montenegro-flag-montenegro-kingdom-gif-15842010821586188223

[solar tundra]

marker 2000 do you know a good division templates

[tender yoke]

The sandbox mod lets you become ridicilously OP and I love it I can form Rome, Persian and Ottoman empires at the same time

[ivory hull]

please intervene bro🙏

[crisp wyvern]

just the ol' 18w or 21w divisions for line defense

offensive wise

not really

[solar tundra]

for a country with low manpower and resources and factories

[solar tundra]

i don't know what that means

[crisp wyvern]

like bhutan or el salvador?

[solar tundra]

canada or croatia

[crisp wyvern]

just go for a 2 line 12width division tp, idk

no idea

yo AL

[safe wing]

Yeah no

[crisp wyvern]

any good templates for rebecca?

[safe wing]

Yes

[ivory hull]

18w inf with engineers and support arty

[safe wing]

9/0s and mountaineers

[solar tundra]

i have only played one game of hoi4 and i ended up losing to the uk trying to take over canada as usa

[safe wing]

Because Yugoslavia is mountainous

[solar tundra]

but i got mexico at least

[crisp wyvern]

least nationalist american:

[solar tundra]

i had to split half of mexico with the soviet union though

[safe wing]

Assuming you said it yourself

[solar tundra]

i left half my divisions in China and forgot about them and i also didn't know about making armies and the front line thing

[merry harness]

yo

where is Zara

[crisp wyvern]

Lets move on from this chat, here's a funny meme

really funny

[crisp wyvern]

SJSLSJSKSK

relatable for me

[merry harness]

RAHH

[crisp wyvern]

i used to mess with the console commands when i was a freshie in hoi4

[solar tundra]

they were fighting the capitalist china and Japanese

[merry harness]

good people on the server of Hearts of Iron, im wondering where the Region of Zara is in the game Hearts of iron IV

[crisp wyvern]

you mean communist china, right?

[solar tundra]

the japan that i made with a coup before world war 2

[crisp wyvern]

or am i tripping

[gusty oracle]

that is true

[ivory hull]

because he gets paid, not because he soley enjoys it

[gusty oracle]

you're not wrong

[dawn mango]

is there an way to unassign an unit from moving? i do not mean like control H i mean stop them from moving (more then 1 at a time)

[solar tundra]

no they were fighting alongside communist china and ussr

[crisp wyvern]

The region of Zara is the friends we made along the way, dear mushroom

[nocturne cedar]

THE KING HAS POSTED

https://youtu.be/b2WA2QBs6VA?si=k9wRff9hZzx5Q0CX

[gusty oracle]

[dawn mango]

tysm

[crisp wyvern]

I will build a time machine and then kidnap and throw bittersteel into it so he can save a massive irl german disaster save during operation bagration

[odd mesa]

Am i being daft - what else am i missing for the greater hungary achievement?

[nocturne cedar]

based timeline

[nocturne cedar]

croatia

[crisp wyvern]

just bring back Austria-Hungary atp

[odd mesa]

g g

[solar tundra]

like the ussr also helped with taking mexico and defending against canada

[eternal palm]

And the rest of transylvania

[crisp wyvern]

greater germany????

[eternal palm]

I presume

[odd mesa]

i forgot to apply pressure before doing the croata focus

[crisp wyvern]

i hate the ussr sm that i always assign them to go the trotsky path

[merry harness]

i see this face and i think italy will win but no they wont

[crisp wyvern]

played as italy once

[solar tundra]

what does that mean

[stone anvil]

Lock him up

[crisp wyvern]

had the entire balkans under my grip

[safe wing]

Played as them a ton

[crisp wyvern]

defeated greece with a naval invasion instead of ramming them from Albania

and defeated france and reached algeria and egypt during ww2

Italy has no boats though

[crisp wyvern]

chaddolini

[crisp wyvern]

i hate stalin

[safe wing]

Wdym they have 162

In 1936

[crisp wyvern]

Floating trashbins

[solar tundra]

not after i was done with them

[safe wing]

Yeah that ended up shredding the royal navy in my last game

[crisp wyvern]

Same with mine

[ivory hull]

greater italy playthrough?

[solar tundra]

As america i built 1000 boats before world war 2 started

[safe wing]

Italian Empire*

Monarchist

[gusty oracle]

you're america

[ivory hull]

did you ever try the mod world ablaze?

[solar tundra]

I was

[safe wing]

I did

[solar tundra]

Before canada took over

[ivory hull]

you liked it?

[safe wing]

It was a while ago I would have to replay it again to get a better opinion

[crisp wyvern]

i hate britain

i hate britain

i hate britain

i hate that stupid hand

that stupid little hand that i hate

✋

[ivory hull]

bro i played hungary to austria hungary, to had to get otto secretly, otherwise czechia and yugoslavia would declare on me, then i got austria, germany pressed anschluss and the little entente formed

[solar tundra]

this was in my second playthrough i was canada

[safe wing]

Guarantee hand?

[safe wing]

Thats insane

[crisp wyvern]

yes

[safe wing]

I hate it when Germany and the UK guarantee Turkey

As Italy

[crisp wyvern]

The UK guarantees the independence of Ecuador

[safe wing]

Worst part is they will do it regardless of the world tension

Because Turkey asked them too via focus in early 1939

[ivory hull]

i wouldve had to hold for 120 days

to peace out

not with germany tho

also

i was at war with france

pre their civil war

wich booted my stability

[safe wing]

Why is Poland at with you

[ivory hull]

because of a national spirit

[ivory hull]

little entente formed

[safe wing]

Poland and Hungary were friends in 1936 I thought

[ivory hull]

poland joined via a focus of them

so yea

uhh

[safe wing]

Because Hungary refused to join the war in 1939 because they didn’t want to fight Poland

And also because they thought it was sucidial

[ivory hull]

i played a facist hungary on historical

[safe wing]

Same for Lithuania

[ivory hull]

was the same on like forest tiles too btw

[safe wing]

Germany promised them Vilinus back but they said no

[solar tundra]

can i change the name of my country

[safe wing]

In vanilla no

With mods yes

[odd mesa]

mashallah

[wanton whale]

Just go around!

[ivory hull]

every single tile had 4k defense and i had no tanks

[wanton whale]

(Yeah I assumed that lol)

[ivory hull]

i did have assault guns tho

[wanton whale]

ahh

That's something

[safe wing]

How are assualt guns

[ivory hull]

pretty important to push city tiles

[safe wing]

I never use them because medium tank divs

[ivory hull]

i only played 1 actual game tho

as hungary

[ivory hull]

i only had them as a support company

[safe wing]

Interesting

[ivory hull]

as the hungarian eco wasnt there

until i gave myself all my wanted territory

[safe wing]

Ottoman Empire and Russian Empire would like to enter the chat

[wanton whale]

Russian empire is allowed, the sickman of europe is denied until they recover.

[safe wing]

that was in the 1400's only

when the Ottomans proclaimed themselves as the Roman Empire

[merry harness]

i hate germany

they joined the allies when i attacked them

[safe wing]

Ottoman Empire was very powerful in the 1400's

[merry harness]

now im at war with france and the uk

[safe wing]

not in the hoi4 era because of the decline

[wanton whale]

True true

[merry harness]

my troops are only enough for germany

[wanton whale]

Balkans would like to talk though

[sonic sand]

juicy

[junior coral]

Im about to try kaiserredux for the first time what nation do you reccomend? I have about 300 hours playtime so I want a nation that is not terribly hard.

[safe wing]

Russia

[unreal raft]

that one

[safe wing]

they usally have path guides

and Russia has a ton of options

[gusty oracle]

Kx is easy so choose any

[sonic sand]

man I love that time in history where the austro hungarian forces lead by Otto Von Hapsburg rolled into berlin

[gusty oracle]

I recommend russia or usa because content

[wanton whale]

As a Christian, evolution is a supported theory

He got timed out lmao

[safe wing]

good music tastes though

[tender yoke]

Yeah you can handle the Ottomans I think

[safe wing]

Call of Ktulu goes hard

[safe wing]

just watch out for Syria, Egypt, and Iran

[tender yoke]

No biggie

[terse ether]

its terrible

straight up makes the ai cheat

[ivory hull]

bro but challenge

[terse ether]

its like black ice but terribly balanced

and less in-depth

black ice's difficulty lies in the number of mechanics you have to deal with

world ablaze's difficulty lies in the debuffs you get bombared with

[safe wing]

it can be overwealming for a new player though on their first playthrough espically

[terse ether]

only way to win is to play EXACTLY like the devs intended

[north spoke]

Is it a good idea to paratroop into the UK in southern england or should i keep trying to naval invade scotland?

[safe wing]

do both

[north spoke]

alr

[safe wing]

at the same time

[north spoke]

Should I deploy tanks to any of these sites or leave them out

because sometimes supply is hard

[safe wing]

have them in reserve

[north spoke]

is there anywhere in particular i should paratroop or just along the coast

[safe wing]

inland supply hubs

[north spoke]

alr

[safe wing]

or supply hubs in general

[north spoke]

I dont think paratrooping london would work would it

because then the british would pull a bunch of home defense divisions out of their ass

[safe wing]

Sheffiled and Liverpool

[north spoke]

I dont think I will have enough range for that

[safe wing]

Bristol then if possible

[unreal raft]

i am back

[safe wing]

because thats the most imporant one other than London

[north spoke]

Alr

[safe wing]

and maybe Birmingham

[wanton whale]

true

[north spoke]

Do I hold anywhere in particular or should I try to close both fronts in on london

[safe wing]

take London ASAP

[north spoke]

Ok

[safe wing]

speed is of the essence

[north spoke]

Should I get the paratroopers to London and hold there while I'm securing Scotland or should I try my best to keep going

[safe wing]

keep going

[unreal raft]

joker and the thief is a very good song

I cant do anything in europe as my brother is hyper expansionist but I dont want to exile myself off to a corner of the world because then im just playing alt-history SP

THE UNION FOREVER!
HOORAH BOYS, HOORAH!
DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS,
AND UP WITH THE STARS!

[grizzled zenith]

Should I build subs or cruisers as Greece?

[hot patrol]

who tf is the brotherhood of europe

[grizzled zenith]

Germany always creates it with Austria if you remove Axis for some reason

So you can get Austria for free ig

But no cores, too bad

[unkempt falcon]

Lol never seen this before but playing Portugal, I joined the axis a few weeks after Germany Caps France.

I planned a naval invasion of england right away and both when I planned it and when I launched it 2 weeks later the Allies had literally 0 naval supremacy in the english channel.

I did take Gibralta pretty quickly so maybe thats why?

They would've had enough time to pull ships out though, I wanted to port cheese some allied troops so I left i open surrounded by my troops and it wasn't until a German Division walked from France into the tile that I actually took it.

[shut gazelle]

what happens if I encircle the UK navy in de mediterranean, I got gibralter and destroyed the Suez cannel

[unkempt falcon]

If u have a strong navy and decent planes that can port strike u can shred them. Probably better to just keep them there and steal them in the Peace conference.

Sea lion should be pretty easy

[grizzled zenith]

They can't get it out of here so you should have an easy time invading the British isles

[shut gazelle]

will their ships get out of fuel or just sink by itself or not?

they still have malta and cyprus

[grizzled zenith]

No they will be there stuck forever unless you sink them yourself

[grizzled zenith]

The best thing you can do is ignore them and take the navies when you cap the Allies

[shut gazelle]

k

[hot patrol]

i don't really need austria

i just want a fun and realistic-ish german empire

[safe wing]

That is realistic tbh

[hot patrol]

you know its bad when "stargard" is the capital of deutches reich and himmler is the leader

[safe wing]

Given how no one wanted Austria Hungary back

[hot patrol]

Thanks big al

[unique crag]

i cant even let my allies run on their own for ONE MINUTE OF ME DRINKING SMTH

[hot patrol]

yippie

[safe wing]

Any Germany would have seized at the opportunity to annex Austria

Imperial, Democratic and Communist

[unique crag]

and my game just crashed

[hot patrol]

now i can just battleplan silesia

[safe wing]

I usually have the civil war over by now

[unique crag]

civilwar takes a few minutes

usually

[bright arrow]

You can get the war over by August if you are careful and micro

[safe wing]

Usually around June or July

[bright arrow]

But if you just wait for the Axis to kill themselves and then battleplan you will take much longer

[safe wing]

Thats a bit later than usual for me

[unique crag]

dude i just bust the germans as soon as it starts and go for sum big cities

encircle and abuse them

[bright arrow]

What? When the war starts the Axis start with an upper hand

[gleaming acorn]

hmmmmm

[bright arrow]

They have full inf battleline while you have only militias

And they go on offensive immideatly

[unique crag]

i delete all units before i do civilwar bruh

[bright arrow]

Lame

[unique crag]

nah

i like me not stressing

and i usually cut off bavaria

[bright arrow]

Hoi4 players when they are faced with war

[safe wing]

I only delete after and thats only if I want Victoria

[unique crag]

dramatic times require pussy-like measures

i delete all units

[safe wing]

And train 18 infantry divs

[bright arrow]

When war is over you only have like 15 divs left

[unique crag]

so?

[gleaming acorn]

aye but then you have to work with only shitty milita troops

annoying

[safe wing]

You can train more

[safe wing]

You can train units during the civil war

[gleaming acorn]

i mean you can i guess

[unique crag]

but i got generals with sum more traits

[gleaming acorn]

idk i just hate the milita units

[unique crag]

cuz militia is usually stuck and can farm xp

[gleaming acorn]

dont like using them

[gleaming acorn]

aye

[unique crag]

what about ss?

[gleaming acorn]

[bright arrow]

Do you guys do the civil war as the first focus?

[safe wing]

Yes

[gleaming acorn]

what the german one

i love the german one

one focus

and the cival war happens

immedialty

[unique crag]

but why do my units sometimes just not attack on an open front right after i declared war? i gotta move em away from the from and wait till i lose territory just to finally start advancing

[bright arrow]

Its one of the oldest focus trees

[safe wing]

With a descison regarding the navy and what not

[bright arrow]

At that time having a civil war wad something crazy

[gleaming acorn]

hm

[unique crag]

am i the only one that builds a bunker in königsberg before civilwar so i dont lose it and have to hope they surrender?

[safe wing]

yes

[gleaming acorn]

most of the time its not really nessary in my opionin tbh

[bright arrow]

I usually send the mountainier over to make a 2 line

[gleaming acorn]

i sometimes do it

normally if i really wanna hold it tho

[safe wing]

you can win without Konigsburg

[bright arrow]

The starter mountaineer sucks anyways

[gleaming acorn]

yeah easily

its a good thing to have tho

[vapid bough]

The bros landed a naval invasion while they had 15% naval supremacy somehow

[grizzled zenith]

Yeah

[jovial carbon]

Yikes either you gotta invade a nation and take their navy like france

[grizzled zenith]

On destroyers?

[tropic lance]

on battleships

[grizzled zenith]

Nah I want to build my own

[grizzled zenith]

K

[tropic lance]

destroyers are used for torpedos

[jovial carbon]

Your gonna have to wait a long time

[tropic lance]

i don't know what people do with cruisers

[unique crag]

spam subs

[grizzled zenith]

Ima form the Macedonian Empire through the monarchist path cuz I'm bored doing Byzantium for like 4th or 5th time

[unique crag]

wait

can i send gifs or will i lose my right to win arguments if i do

[grizzled zenith]

Yeah but that's fine

[icy crescent]

One of the hardest formables. Damn.
Respect.

[grizzled zenith]

I also formed the EU as Luxembourg it was pretty easy (with no paratroopers)

But I realized I never did the Macedonian Empire

Also I realized I've never built a navy of my own

So why not combine the 2, Greece is a good one to build a navy

It has some research in the navy

[icy crescent]

Saying "easy" is kind of boasting.
Given that you gotta take out Allies and Axis for it.

[grizzled zenith]

Nah I just formed the Lowlands and then held out against Axis and then stole France from the Allies on the peace conference lol

[jovial carbon]

What???

[grizzled zenith]

.

[unique crag]

do you, have a girlfriend perchance?

[icy crescent]

Belgium has a bigger army than you could ever organize in my games.

[jovial carbon]

❌

None of us do

[unique crag]

of course we dont

too busy sweating on luxembourg

[icy crescent]

I believe I had one before I had HOI.

[grizzled zenith]

I went communist and built infantry with medium tanks, then hold out against Belgium and you can either do a bunch of encirclments or if the Belgium is stupid enough once you take the closes big city it caps

[jovial carbon]

If you have a girlfriend as a hoi4 player you probably suck

At hoi4

[grizzled zenith]

[unique crag]

i regret breaking up back then

[jovial carbon]

All of my life ✅

what mods I should try out

[unique crag]

seelow heights

[grizzled zenith]

Never had a girlfriend, only once a female friend and then I didn't see her ever and probably won't ever too, and my only 2 friends left from school are in 2 different countries from mine

[jovial carbon]

I don't think I'm good enough for that..

[unique crag]

im slowly losing my friendships too.

only female friend is moving away

[jovial carbon]

I struggle on trying to form rome

[grizzled zenith]

My reason was pretty special

[unique crag]

and all my friends are failing school and moving too

[tropic lance]

coincidence? I think NOT!

[jovial carbon]

My female friend became a vape. And drug addict

✅

[unique crag]

[jovial carbon]

[jovial carbon]

Ik it's sad

"Bewährung"

[trail zinc]

translates to probation

and thats what you get after sitting in prison for a bit

if you behave

[icy crescent]

Depending on the severity/charges you can go to jail for younger people with 14 years.

thats what he can get

he said he thinks he'll get probabtion or fines

You want to create puppets for your allies in the peacedeal?

eg frace puppets a certain bit of land and then britian does aswell

[icy crescent]

Dunno, no idea.
Best you could do is having communist faction members.
They tend to use the puppet option more often than the annexing one.

[echo dawn]

Otherwise you could tag over to them and release occupied territories as puppets.

when you click the decisions tab they should appear on the map

they loose the Romanian one only too replace it with the British and German one

December 1938- January 1939 would be my best guess
