what your troops see as youre teleporting them

[misty fossil]

im wondering if that gif is allowed here

since jake paul is wearing an ss uniform

[wicked root]

so is himmler in the game 😭

does he not

[misty fossil]

true

[bright forum]

I think I've spent this entire thing demonstrating that I knew you needed to land at a port but that I think that rule is lame.

[misty fossil]

idk its at the mods discretion not me

[twin nebula]

I still can’t find a map mod to replace the one I lost but eh, I’m probably screwed anyway given the fact I still don’t own Gotterdammerung etc

[bright forum]

Let my baby troops just land on the shore without me having to do another naval invasion.

[dire oyster]

ok

[misty fossil]

you need a port for anything with a keel depth lower than 1 metre

[wicked root]

you could have naval invaded the ports instead of just mountains and land

[misty fossil]

do you just drive your motorboat onto the beach

[bright forum]

For some reason I thought there was a port there 🤷‍♂️

[misty fossil]

pure skill issue

god save your soul

[bright forum]

They drove tanks onto the beach.

[wicked root]

oh yeah sometimes they look like their on the tile youre invading

[dire oyster]

@wicked rootwhere u from

[misty fossil]

do motorboats have tracks

[south tendon]

scraping the barrel

[misty fossil]

do convoys have tracks

[heavy vigil]

@safe wing day 1, in a year or in 2 years?

for war

[bright forum]

IDK I think you should be able to do this by just drawing a front line.

[misty fossil]

omw gonna mount tank tracks to my 40000 ton battleships

[wicked root]

[bright forum]

Enlighten me, then.

[dire oyster]

ok just wanted to know

[misty fossil]

supplies brother

[twin nebula]

IDK what to do

[hallow orchid]

god bless lithuania

[misty fossil]

how tf do you transport food for 50000 men on LSDs

[bright forum]

IDK they apparently did it here.

[misty fossil]

oh my god

[bright forum]

Just do the same thing but when I draw a front line.

[misty fossil]

😭

[bright forum]

Like fundamentally, what is the difference?!

[slow nova]

that glocke from total tank simulator

[bright forum]

Yeah, a front line has my troops get off at a port.

That's fine.

[misty fossil]

because the army consumes more than those landing ships can transport????????????

have you ever considered that

anyway im off to bed

[slow nova]

yes that

the die glocke

[bright forum]

https://tenor.com/view/wall-gif-24534315

Me rn.

[misty fossil]

are you ragebaiting me or am i ragebaiting you

[bright forum]

Perhaps, neither of us are ragebaiting.

Or both.

[wicked root]

is this still aboit hoi4

[bright forum]

Or it alternates.

[soft tendon]

why are steam workshops links banned here tho

[mellow parrot]

Logistics

[misty fossil]

idk

[mellow parrot]

Logistics is a part of HOI4 lol

[wicked root]

idk follow the rail roads or something

[bright forum]

If my dudes can do it the first time, IDK I think they should be able to the second time.

[wicked root]

air transport

[misty fossil]

i mean i can still go on but i had 4 and a half hours of sleep today and ive been awake for 18 hrs

[bright forum]

"Logistics" yeah bring that on boats too.

More boats.

Bring enough boats that I can do all that shit without having to take a port.

Give a logistics debuff or something to balance it out.

But just let me make all my troops wade dammit.

[mellow parrot]

Just needa make sure that you have a good flow of logistics coming in

Naturally they will use up whats on the initial landing ships

[misty fossil]

before i go ima just throw this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGc999bv1kY

god i love bagpipes

[bright forum]

With enough grit you can transport anything across a bit of shoreline.

Ports are totally unnecessary if you have the gumption.

My guys did it the first time, make the rest of the army do it too.

[mellow parrot]

Isn't there floating harbors or something

Allowing you to land on non port tiles

[bright forum]

Has anyone used floating harbours in the history of ever?

[mellow parrot]

I did like once lol

[bright forum]

I just assumed they were an accidental programming error left over.

Just tell my boys to grow up and wade.

[mellow parrot]

I mostly play China and its Warlords

that or Tuva

[bright forum]

"B-But we'll get wet."

Shut up and walk.

You shouldn't need a port to do this shit.

[candid rain]

They had floating harbours xd

[twin nebula]

Anyone got any advice?

[wicked root]

uh

yeah

[bright forum]

I don't believe you.

[wicked root]

well in world ablaze you habe to

[candid rain]

I've done it like 5 times

[cerulean anvil]

do yall think the jfk renovation is a focus or a decision

[bright forum]

This is propaganda by Paradox to give them an excuse to not just implement my troops manning up and wading.

[candid rain]

I repeat, these guys used em

Those trucks ain't wading

[wicked root]

still waiting for infantry designer

[bright forum]

Just bring more damn boats.

[bright forum]

If your truck can't get through a bit of sand, it's bad anyway

[bright forum]

Yeah but like, they weren't mandatory.

They helped, might have even contributed to the success of the invasion.

But you don't need 'em.

[candid rain]

To sustain the operation they might be

I'm sure you can unload enough to last a few days at the beginning

[bright forum]

I just wanted my troops to land on some territory they already controlled.

[candid rain]

But to keep it up would be really hard

[bright forum]

Tug the boats out and cycle them.

IDK give a big supply debuff or something then.

[safe wing]

7000 ships at D day IRL

[candid rain]

You know tugs only work on water

Beached ships require a lot more torque

A LOT

[bright forum]

Really? I mean that makes sense but I really would have thought a tug boat could still yank one out.

[candid rain]

That's why you just wait until the tide goes up

[bright forum]

IDK 2 tug boats then.

[crisp wyvern]

imagine going back in time only to tell hitler that the key to invade britain is to wait for the microsecond the entire royal navy is out of the british channel to naval invade

and boom

there you have it

[safe wing]

why are we talking about tugboats

[crisp wyvern]

you created wolfenstein

[candid rain]

When I say a lot, I mean a lot

[misty fossil]

tell him about the ever given

[candid rain]

Compare friction on water Vs friction on sand

[bright forum]

Because I'm mad that you can't transport your troops to a shoreline without a port.

[safe wing]

not how it works because the UK had a navy on standby just in case

[safe wing]

thats how it works irl though

unless you have specialized landing craft

[bright forum]

I mean, if you've researched the tech for naval invasions you have the craft.

Is what I'm saying.

[wicked root]

did you lost the battle when you landed

[bright forum]

Just lemme do it.

[safe wing]

which only the USA had really

[candid rain]

You should be able to naval invade onto land you own yeah

[safe wing]

and that was mainly in the pacific

[bright forum]

Nope. I won and controlled the land, but there was no port, so my troops couldn't go there.

Well, the rest of my troops.

I guess think of it this way, you can order a naval invasion onto land you already control.

[candid rain]

Excuse me?

[bright forum]

So clearly if you can naval invade somewhere, then you clearly have the capability.

[safe wing]

okay the UK too

[bright forum]

So just let me bring my army over with the same boats.

[safe wing]

sorry I forgot them I thought the USA lend leased them all the landing craft

[bright forum]

Let me transport my troops without them going to a damn port, basically.

[wicked root]

you could just paradrop onto ports

[bright forum]

Or another naval invasion order.

[safe wing]

look up the battle of the Scheldt

[wicked root]

because paratroopers are broken as shit in this game

[safe wing]

it really show cases how important ports are irl

[bright forum]

Yeah I'm not saying ports aren't important.

[wicked root]

and then you can have your army jump from port to port

[bright forum]

I'm just saying, you can, within all confines of real logic, land a bunch of troops on a beach without a port.

[cerulean anvil]

what happens if you paradrop on a tile with enemy troops?

[bright forum]

It's what happens every naval invasion.

[safe wing]

like Canada had to fight to secure Antwerp basically for a couple of months

[bright forum]

Let me do it for my army.

[cerulean anvil]

is there a battle

[safe wing]

because it was the only port we could realisticlly use

[wicked root]

did normandy have a port

[bright forum]

I already control the land, lemme just reinforce my troops from it.

You can reinforce troops without a port.

Sure it's less efficient.

But it is possible.

[safe wing]

Cherbourg I think

but the Germans damaged it to the point where it was inoperable for a few months

[wicked root]

there you go

[safe wing]

the allies built Mulberries

[wicked root]

they should add that to the base game fr

[safe wing]

which were artificial harbors

[mellow parrot]

floating harbors!

[safe wing]

they are in the game though

as floating harbors

[bright forum]

They should add letting your troops walk off the damn boat.

[wicked root]

https://tenor.com/view/leonardo-dicaprio-rick-dalton-point-finger-pointing-hand-right-there-gif-20349799

[safe wing]

one got wrecked in a storm

I think

[bright forum]

On a fundamental level, what makes it different from just another naval invasion?

[safe wing]

which is the reason we went to take Antwerp

[bright forum]

If you can naval invade territory without a port, why can't you transport the rest of your army without a port? 🤔

[safe wing]

Brest, Calais and many other major ports were German occupied until May 1945

when Germany surrendered

[mellow parrot]

So basically what you're asking is

Why can't you bring troops to an established beachead where there is no ports

[bright forum]

Yeah pretty much.

[safe wing]

this happened at Gallipoli

and we all know how that went

[bright forum]

Yeah but like, it's theoretically possible.

Especially if, keep in mind, I controlled the territory already.

I'm not saying "Let me transport my troops into enemy territory willy nilly."

I'm saying "Let me transport my troops onto a beachhead I control without a port."

You can do it in real life, it is technically possible, it's even possible in game by just queuing up another naval invasion. Let me just draw a front line and have them sort it out.

Guys, how important is navy?

[fast slate]

truth

[fast slate]

depends on what ur wanting to do

depends on the country

generally it isn't important

[fast slate]

best country to build navy is th Soviets

it rlly helps against the germans 100%

[tiny iris]

Cuz I wondered if I should buy Götterdammerung like the Kaiser stan I am or if I should buy BBA to take peoples navies.

[fast slate]

tbh navy isnt alll that important, unless ur fighting japan, us, or UK, but like honestly just build naval bombers and then invadr when u crippled their navy

[tiny iris]

Yk what, I shall buy Graveyard of Empires.

[fast slate]

DONT DO IT

[safe wing]

William Afton needs help dealing with the automation or something/j

[sudden thistle]

Kill those dirty wirebacks

[safe wing]

[sudden thistle]

Gas guzzlers

Oil leakers

||clankers||

[safe wing]

I wonder if William Afton did give us the orders

[ivory hull]

[scenic spade]

anyone know a way to contact the MD devs

i found a gamebreaking bug which is a infinite PP dupe

[sudden thistle]

MD server

[scenic spade]

send link

[snow rain]

check mod page

[scenic spade]

i dont got time

just send it

pls

[snow rain]

we don't either

[scenic spade]

god my pc will crash if i open more apps then hoi4 md and discord

[snow rain]

if you don't have time to look for it, you don't have time to report the issue ngl

[snow rain]

steam is already open bruh

[scenic spade]

how is steam open

[snow rain]

if hoi is booted up steam is booted up as well

[scenic spade]

i closed it

[unique crag]

they'll remember this one

[snow rain]

you can't close steam without closing hoi lmao

you can close the tab but not steam itself

[scenic spade]

well i closed the tab

[unique crag]

steam has to run so you can play

[snow rain]

it still running, just open it back up

[zinc light]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-oh-no-anyway-gif-18887547

It's Just Birmingham, literally nothing lost with that Nuke

[scenic spade]

they dont have discord link

[zinc light]

Well acshually 🤓 you can also run the game with the PDX Launcher

[scenic spade]

oh yeah i used the pdx launcher

[unique crag]

im boutta nuke every single one of their cities because of you

may the npc gods have mercy upon you

[zinc light]

You better continue with Reading, Leicester and Birmingham (yes, again)
All of those are of zero historical or societal value

[unique crag]

im just doing warcrimes

i like them debuffs

[zinc light]

Ah, belgium in Congo kinda deal

[unique crag]

yeah

but heat

[tight zephyr]

Damn anarchy Spanish is worst nation to conquer world

[safe wing]

Because no political power

[tight zephyr]

No not because of that

[safe wing]

Stability

[heavy vigil]

al im figuring it out

[tight zephyr]

Becuse of the neighbors and everyone hates you

[safe wing]

Makes sense

A nation that rejects the ideas of borders would alarm everyone near it

[tight zephyr]

Look stability is not that much when you choose this nation

[tight zephyr]

Yes

[tight zephyr]

Why

[last cave]

millenium dawn in islamist path for chechnya

[zinc light]

Any hoi4 mod trying Not to give the smallest Nation The absolute biggest schizo paths:

[tight zephyr]

Hey guys do you think hoi4 shows us axis were good side or its just me?

[devout trench]

Kaiserredux

[tight zephyr]

I agree 👍

[zinc light]

Yeah that's just you

[tight zephyr]

Oh okay

[devout trench]

It’s because hoi4 doesn’t show the horrid crimes commited by the countries you play as

[tight zephyr]

Yes i know but its too fun play axis

[devout trench]

Hoi4 kinda just shows everyone in a neutral way

[tight zephyr]

Yeah kinda

[devout trench]

That’s because axis at the time had insanely easy opportunities for expansion and development

Most of the world kinda sucked back then

[zinc light]

Also that playstyle is simply much more fun than playing as any of the dominions besides maybe raj

[devout trench]

invasion funner than defense

[zinc light]

That's ignoring the fact that any nazi depictions are banned from the german version

[zinc light]

Yah

[tight zephyr]

Yeah that is why we start with Germany

[dusky burrow]

Or maybe you shouldn't

Because defense is actually quite important

[devout trench]

yes that is true, but hoi4 doesnt really show any of the genocides or attrocities that germany did

or japan

[zinc light]

Mhm

The belgians only Held Out 18 days historically
So all my attempts were actually better

[honest night]

Hoi4 is a game for more of a military perspective and it would be pretty incensestive if they had the atrocities of the axis in the game and then at the same time had a path where the Austrian “individual” is in like Argentina

Also axis is more fun as you choose when to start the war and who to invade

[sudden thistle]

France in the 1939 scenario was my fav country to learn with

[devout trench]

communist china

top 5 hoi4 country fr

[zinc light]

Nah that's just cheesy and Not fun

[thorn dirge]

is there somewhere a pic of the new dlc background?

[sudden thistle]

Wdym background

[zinc light]

To actually Fend Off the japanese, you just... Never John the united front

[devout trench]

i learned the entire game playing them so i have gotten used to it

[thorn dirge]

from the new dlc, it's seen for a few seconds in the new shwocase

[sudden thistle]

Dunno

[misty fossil]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1019111111498420244/1369701297757884454/evil2.gif

[heavy vigil]

i would not recommend uruguay vs the world

its a bad experience

[eternal palm]

Nah but how do u get 2k pp within 7 years seems a but much

[misty fossil]

can we agree we should call small countries something other than "minors"

[uneven portal]

yurugua is fun

[eternal palm]

Me thinks it's on civ diff

[misty fossil]

yuriguay

why are you like this

let yourself have fun broski

embrace the uh

meta

idk

[heavy vigil]

i dont break my own knee its simply going to war with every country on jan 1st 1937

[daring tundra]

If you address "the issue", then you have to address the fact that you are allowing the players play as germany or any morally bad country (or at least grey) in game... which is at least half of them and practically all of the significant ones

[sudden thistle]

Oh I’m the only person other than Chak to have a pinned message here

Ez win

[misty fossil]

i open hoi4 just to play navy

[uneven portal]

tralalero tralala

[misty fossil]

nah i meant to say you're handicapping yourself and i dont think that makes the game fun

[zinc light]

I open Discord Just to envy people like you

[heavy vigil]

it makes it difficult

[misty fossil]

i just thought of breaking your knees and said it

ok but is it too difficult

[heavy vigil]

in difficult scenario you get high stat

high stat = fun

[misty fossil]

navy is literally far easier than algebra 1

[heavy vigil]

its on the line of me being able to do it

a good player prob could do it easier than me

[misty fossil]

how hard is algebra 1

[zinc light]

I hate any form of maths

[misty fossil]

if you cant do it no way i can do it

you talk as if i dont despise maths

[uneven portal]

r a g n a r o k 1 9 3 7 in 2025??

wow

weirdo

[heavy vigil]

as uruguay without buffs

not the germany thing

[daring tundra]

it is easy, it just takes more than 5 seconds to understand thus people don't bother

[misty fossil]

exactly

bro

[uneven portal]

casey

do it as lux

[heavy vigil]

no

[uneven portal]

if u want to

suffer

[misty fossil]

its so easy i have to install a navy mod to make it more entertaining

do it as rapa nui

[uneven portal]

better yet casey,

do it as aussa

[zinc light]

Nah all there is to understand that you cant have fun with it since its such a godawful dogpiling feature

[misty fossil]

do it as the weird island in the southern tip next to antartica

[heavy vigil]

i dont want to?

and i think both might be easier

[zinc light]

The Winner of any navy Battle is the one with better Tech and fleet
Literally nothing Else matters

[uneven portal]

how

as lxu ur faced with ger and fra

[heavy vigil]

resources, starting army for aussa

resources for lux

[daring tundra]

bruh, you only have to build destroyers and boats that kill other boats

[uneven portal]

uruguay has no steel?

[heavy vigil]

you have that anyway

everyone is in a faction

[daring tundra]

the problem is the AI can't navy because then people cry

[runic wraith]

my first even time invading poland

[heavy vigil]

ive survived as yemen before

that was sheeps tho not vanilla

vanilla is harder

[daring tundra]

like they cried when sealion was improved

[zinc light]

People cry about literally any change

[daring tundra]

yeah. like the new approach to focus trees. Paradox has said they want to limit their schizo outlook

[misty fossil]

HAHAHA WHAT

it is so over

[zinc light]

No more Mapuche Chile Ver. 23?

[daring tundra]

and you find people wanting to get a mongolian empire formable path

[uneven portal]

am i wrong/

[heavy vigil]

all plains too

[uneven portal]

oh

ok im right

dang

[runic wraith]

close up

[uneven portal]

thats tuff

[misty fossil]

and im one of them, quite literally

[uneven portal]

ur tuff

[misty fossil]

oh that is so fun

[uneven portal]

casey ur so tuff for taking the whoel world on alone

[misty fossil]

no honestly i dont know what to feel bout the addition of coal into the game

[heavy vigil]

im not

[uneven portal]

thank you for protecting us casey

[heavy vigil]

its hoi4

[misty fossil]

hi not im dad

[heavy vigil]

coal tank

[daring tundra]

we should wait until we get a dev diary or see the map of resources

[zinc light]

Oh No, another mechanic I have to think about for more than 5 seconds

[uneven portal]

casey is the president of the weirdo special empire, sponsored by paradox interactive

please lead us to victory my king

[misty fossil]

"all we want for christmas is coal" ahh update 💔

[daring tundra]

if it is balanced so you can get some while playing bhutan, for example, cool. else...

[misty fossil]

💔

[daring tundra]

if will make playing lithuania more annoying

[misty fossil]

im definitely mortified of black ice

[uneven portal]

black ice wc as uruguay

[misty fossil]

touch grass

is there a tooltip for grass

oh yeah

[zinc light]

I never tried that mod tho
So, you're more qualified than me

[misty fossil]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grass

read the tooltip

[misty fossil]

no i have never tried that

and for good reason

[zinc light]

Since I dont feel like putting in the effort and time to properly Git gud

[zinc light]

Ah

[uneven portal]

ragnarok 1937 x sheeps mod x blackice collab

and ur playing as uruguay

[heavy vigil]

Ok

I can do that

Except not sheeps

But i can try in BICE

Again ive said it before sheeps mod is prob easier for uruguay anyway

Than vanilla

Vanilla ai is more aggressive against small entrenched positions allowing them to eventually break through given enough advantage

Sheeps ai is coded upon finding weak spots in large fronts and gaining an industrial advantage

[grizzled yarrow]

I dint rlly use any

It kinda just

Stockpiled while i was at war

[normal galleon]

are there any other achievements I can get as byzantium?

[grizzled yarrow]

Nah its like

On the regular one

Idk how i got that much myself

[safe wing]

Bad romance

As Byzantium control all the Romes, Rome, Romania, Russia

[normal galleon]

tyty

[safe wing]

Your gonna need a lot of luck and sanity

[normal galleon]

I figured lol

[last cave]

well it happens

[heavy vigil]

BICE didnt work

[sonic sand]

the new

[heavy vigil]

Its over

[sonic sand]

thing

looks legit

[normal galleon]

I'm already at war with romania, so maybe join germany, declare on albania to get a free war with italy, and just take moscow after we beat the soviets?

[sonic sand]

who you playin as

[safe wing]

Communist Japan is finally viable

[sonic sand]

i will not be playing anything

because

I don't care about major powers

[safe wing]

China Kmt and CCP and the Philippines called

[normal galleon]

byzantium

[normal galleon]

lol literally watching the vid rn

[sonic sand]

no China is peak fiction

i have a lot of fun

[safe wing]

They aren’t a major that’s the joke

[sonic sand]

yes

i know

[safe wing]

And they are going to be updated

[sonic sand]

its amazing

[safe wing]

I have a prediction its gonna be alot harder as the kmt

[sonic sand]

I cannot wait for an Albanian tree

[heavy vigil]

If it is then itll die very very fast against a player japan

[safe wing]

Play Egypt in road to 56

[sonic sand]

red and black i dress eagle on my chest!!!

[safe wing]

Because you can merge with Albania

[sonic sand]

cool

I would also like to see a dissolved yugoslavia tree

[indigo violet]

whats better, mwd left or right?

[safe wing]

Mwd?

[indigo violet]

mobile warfare doctrine

[sonic sand]

mobile warfare doctrine?

left i think...

I think

I don't remember

[safe wing]

Use grand battle-plan left for tanks instead

[indigo violet]

nah

[dusky burrow]

Hello

Do you not have any units @limber mural

[sonic sand]

I prefer superior firepower because it is the lore accurate best doctrine

[versed rapids]

so if japan gets that thing, it's basically over for everyone

[safe wing]

Grand battle-plan left is better for tanks right? As Tobias doesn’t think it is

[dusky burrow]

Yes

[safe wing]

He is using mobile warfare for tanks

I’m trying to talk him out of it

[heavy vigil]

I use it for inf builds in sp sometimes

I dont see the issue

[sonic sand]

lungs of aluminum 5's balancing goes hard

[heavy vigil]

Its a doctrine

[safe wing]

Fair

[safe wing]

Thats if Japan can do it

[heavy vigil]

If he wants to use mw he can use mw

[safe wing]

True true

[versed rapids]

unite china, get a small portion of british colonies and boom

now not only does the uk have to worry about germany in europe, but also japan that could be a MASSIVE threat

[indigo violet]

never said i dont think it is better, just saying i'll use mw instead

[safe wing]

that’s what happened irl though

[versed rapids]

yeah not really, they didn't have their "miracle" up until the end of the war

[safe wing]

I meant the UK part

[versed rapids]

right

[safe wing]

USA had war plan orange as early as the 1920s

[versed rapids]

crazy when you think about it

[safe wing]

Most countries have war plans

[versed rapids]

did they really have a plan for france 💔

Or switzerland

[safe wing]

Probably

[versed rapids]

wtf

[safe wing]

They had one the Uk

War plan red

[versed rapids]

what did switzerland do

[sonic sand]

i can't wait for Canada to have defense scheme No.1 added

[winter charm]

@little python

[safe wing]

Nothing USA had war plans against Germany, Japan, Italy, USSR, China, Japan, UK and France and its continental neighbors primarily

[sonic sand]

if Switzerland were to ever fall to a position to not be allied with the US or actively fighting against the US they would need a plan

[safe wing]

Because its always good to have a plan like Batman

[sonic sand]

every country has a warplan against every other country

[versed rapids]

right

[sonic sand]

I wouldn't even put it past NATO members to have secret plans against other NATO members

[safe wing]

Incase they go rouge

[versed rapids]

WAIT JAPAN CAN CORE ALL OF ASIA

WTF

[sonic sand]

I am nearly 100% sure Hungary has a warplan against Romania

specifically for Transylvania

[safe wing]

Germany can core all of Europe as this point though

[sonic sand]

every european nation can core all of europe

[versed rapids]

there's more ressources in asia and manpower tho

[sonic sand]

through a decision and a bit of political power

[safe wing]

Manpower only

[versed rapids]

and ressources

[sonic sand]

up to the Urals

[safe wing]

China has less resources tbh

[versed rapids]

asia isn't all about china bruh

[safe wing]

Well china is the largest country entirely in Asia

[versed rapids]

you forgot the warloads state underneath it that has alot of aluminum and iron

[sonic sand]

it is

literally

all about china

[safe wing]

Only Guangxi

[versed rapids]

wtf is that supposed to mean

[sonic sand]

area of asia by percent

[versed rapids]

it's not about size

[sonic sand]

without Russia which is commonly considered European

[versed rapids]

i'm talking about ressources

[brittle cypress]

Is bro using chat gpt for his geopolitical analysis

[sonic sand]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asian_countries_by_area

[brittle cypress]

Damn

Nevermind

[safe wing]

Europe has the most resources in everything except Rubber

[sonic sand]

i wouldn't use the wiki for a paper but for basic knowledge its fine

[versed rapids]

that should already explain why it's broken

[sonic sand]

if i own a plot of 5 by 5m full of natural resources

its going to be less

[versed rapids]

not in hoi4

[sonic sand]

than every other country with those resources spread out

[sonic sand]

on average it will be less

the less land you have

the less resources you have

[versed rapids]

not really

[sonic sand]

geography is a key factor sure

[versed rapids]

except for minors

[heavy vigil]

dual booting vic 3 and hoi4 to proof a point will my computer explode

[sonic sand]

think UAE irl

[heavy vigil]

pc exploding is not the point btw

[sonic sand]

they make their money off oil

but import everything else

[versed rapids]

japan is big but has nothing
same for every countries in africa
middle east
eastern europe

so that doesn't mean anything

[sonic sand]

why do we think japan went imperialist?

[safe wing]

Venezuela has oil

South Africa chrome

[sonic sand]

this is true

[sonic sand]

also true

[versed rapids]

🤦‍♂️

[safe wing]

Turkey has Chrome

Iran has oil

[versed rapids]

why did you deviate the subject

it wasn't about x has y

it was about why coring asia is better than europe

[sonic sand]

japan has nothing

china has next to nothing

[safe wing]

Pretty much

[sonic sand]

the only place that has something

is Singapore

[versed rapids]

apparently we're not playing the same game

[safe wing]

Places* being India, dutch east indies and Malaysia

[sonic sand]

well im playing lungs of aluminum 7

what are you playing?

[versed rapids]

rubber sim

lungs of aluminum 7

(its a roblox hoi4 copy)

anyways
