what's a collab?
ok you are not going to capitulate the ussr
do u have spy dlc?
It isnt about being new but you have to pay attention to how youre playing, read things
He doesn’t have the DLC
Which youre clearly just not doing
so you think i conquered all of europe by reading nothing?
that seems pretty illogical
Yes at least by paying relatively little attention to production/economy/army setups/battle stats
Its not particularly hard to do that
man anything works against
ai
you are doing better than like 50% players:)
this is my first run on regular difficulty as germany
all previous runs were on the easiest difficulty
but well the game is designed for you to take france easly
i conquered poland as ukraine
yh bro i swear as soon as parios falls they js give upo
released from czechoslovakia
what national focus
should i go for
without the spy dlc the game is kinda hard to play
basically you need to go all the way into the urals/far east to capitulate ussr
loyalty to the furher, or any focus giving your efficiency cap
always prioritize those focuses
it should be illegal to force players to walk all the way to the urals
almost there
yeah its over bro
ah ok remember to pick those focuses next time
a whole lot of talking but no helping
army focus?
xd
oh yeah you have done most of the important stuff
make sure you picked army offense advisor
the focus give you
im feeling evil today
The four year plan economy of conquest maxed out to 100% and i ran out of the options to use gold and decisions to lower it
Thankfully the soviet union came back
yeah this is good
i cant do a lot to help you because to help you have a grasp of the most basic mechanics will take days
imrpove logi system is kinda useful also
walking you through the game and holding your hand while explaining everything down to the minute detail
i dont have time for that
just sit here and wait for the gun stockpile to recover now
a whole lot of yapping
also try use your plane, focus everything on one zone where the allies were bombing
yes
i have anti air in core germany
I was fighting in china alongside the china united front and i clicked on communist china and it said "independence guaranteed by the soviet union" ??? but i already beat them already and they turned into the russian federation
now ur just being rude to me
and i'm using fighters where air superiorty is a problem
And then i zoomed out and the soviet union was back
skill issue
just reflecting your behaviour in a direct manner g
just build more fighters
how dare you be rude to me im blocking you and telling discord about it
😭 😭 😭 😭
holy hypocrisy and rage bait
i'm gonna touch u tn
harassment
I'm going schizophrenic
e-touches read the tooltip
@moderation help
I hate Italy so much
I'd rather play unhistorical Japan than this
I have so many cores and so many questions to Germany that I'm mental struggling to process
i can recommend a youtube tutorial which i find pretty useful for the most part if youre up for it

FOCUS ORDER
---------------...

nah i was messing with that guy all g
🥲 Germany is so useless they won't to Anchluss and it's almost 1939
does this tutorial include and dlcs
any*
are you playing base game only?
yes with götterdammerung
it should be base game compatible
only dlc
yo yo yo
oh my god
every tutoriual i've watched has the spy network thingy
not sure what dlc it is from
personal advice but hoi4 is 20x better with all the dlcs except trial of allegiance and graveyard of empires
I did anchluss in 1937 that's the fastest i can get it
la resistance
I'm mentally gone right now, I hate Germany, LIKE TO ANCHLUSS
Just recruit infantry until you meet the requirements
Dont say that
None
Like..I'm..dying..rn
Send ss
I think you can put divisions that are just one guy and get it much faster
whats austrias country tag
Ast?
thanks
The chemist
run annex ast in console
Do you know why the soviet union would come back?
hoi4 bugging out
In my game the allies and axis defeated the soviet union and italy and poland in 1942, and the remaining soviet territory became the Russian federation
EXPLAIN TO ME PLEASE WHY GERMANY IS SO SO USELESS?
But for some reason in 1946 the soviet union came back and replaced russia?
Which is a very good thing because then i can go to war with them and communist china and iran without angering the allies
They're not expanding😭
It's making me wanna..do thing that aren't allowed
To Germany
Hm oh
Exactly
Try playing germany first
I'm Italy rn, I wanna try greater Italy so Mussolini gets to heaven
Also I have lik 171 divs and for some ungodly reason, Germany eliminated somehow like 24 divisions.
Also as germany to avoid fighting the allies i instead of using justify war, i stage a coup and then invite the coup into my faction and join the war from there
They're schizon istg
Because justifying causes the uk/france to guarantee the country
Austria is guaranteeless
The ports are open and the first American divisions are coming to save us
The train of liberty
Allies reinforcing Poland is unheard of
🗽
Still not a single British help 🥀
In my current playthrough the allies helped me fight poland and even gave me their territory in the peace conference
Lucky
Time a facist coup to begin just after the soviet union attacks them and then once poland capitulates i go to war with ussr and Italy and facist poland join the war against Axis and Allies
Mainly the US, Mexicans, and Free France
That way poland's land is actually considered to be on the losing side and you get to take it without fighting allies
Me when I’m a Mexican fighting the Germans in Poland along side France
Wait, I just realized the Germans did not do Weserübung
So the allies are all flooding in
Also if you can lose really hard and let the ussr take over france and then push back and take their cities yourself you can declare the greater german reich once you occupy warsaw, paris, and the soviet cities
without fighting allies
guys,should i buy hoi 4?
yes
Is Weserübung defending the coastlines?
i mean i don t know how to play it but is interesting
and its so expensive
is 50 euro
Over 150 USD with all dlc
YALL
IM CRYING
GERMANY BE GOING WAR W THE USSR AND THEY DIDNT EVEN DO ANCHLUSS????
Not that hard once you learn the basics
I'm dying..
Like what did I do to Germany....
War w the USSR and they haven't even done Anchluss..
Germany's operations against Denmark and Norway
doesnt war with ussr need 500k troops on field?
So the Danish Bells are open to the allies to flood in
how did germany pick it faster than anchluss lmao
IDK
THEY CANT DO ANCHLUSS
THEYR ARMY IS TO SMOLL
BUT THEY HAVE 85 DIVISIONS
BUT LAST TIME I CHECKED THERE WERE LIKE 98
germany is type of a character who is strong as enemy
but weak as ally
so true in italy runs
now go get rome
Germany is probably strongest nation rn in player hands
In my game they aren't
soviet:
usa:
Not in players hands though
Get fked
Does anyone know what this is on land cruisers and what tech its under
Germany still stronger
I know
But they are rlly rlly schizo in my game
its under super heavy tanks as i know
need special project though
Its not
lemme check
oh i remember one being under aircraft as well
maybe check there?
Ill look
Nope not under that
Im using commands and i have every sp researched
Not playing an actual game im using commands to test divs
Im not seeing anything there
im pretty sure thats side machine gun or whatever the name is
Nope
@novel sedge should I declare war?
it opens from second or third slots from arms slot
are u searching it from first?
ur choice pal
AUSTRIA IS IN AXIS 😩😩😩
I thinkl the best bet would maybe be in navy research but thats like exploring untouched land
Im just gonna research everything and see if it pops up
U fellas think this'll work against UK? My carriers are arriving late and I wanted to have 30light cruisers by now
research all
is the command
Look at intel and see their navy manpower then tyours
Oh ok
I was using roic
Sure, i need to boost my intel
Is that the railway gun add in for it?
yuh
Now the issue is where the hell it came from
Wait
Its called the hull mounted railway gun so maybe its under railway guns?
omg lol
People research navy?
No its for land cruisers
Bunker emplacement
Where the hell is that research
Fort tech 2 iirc
Ok its the 2nd land fort research
thought u said underwater railway
Dude land cruisers take so much research
Wdym
Probably just radio?
Its not
Not sp either
Its a normal research cause it only popped up after i researched everything
Idk that module isnt useful so i didnt memorize it
Ok ill look
the ussr is allergic to capitulating
Like theyre fine in combat but terrain debuffs
Yep
I think the ussr needs a buff, sometimes i take over them in 1941 and they have no advisors, no commanders, half their army without generals, 50k guns in debt
Ive seen them get wrecked by the little entente
Propoganda
i'm beating them with a 150k gun deficit
debt*
aura
The ai needs buffed
Like, i get they were incompetent at the start, but there has to be a point where they get their stuff together and say, hey lets start behaving like an actual country
I do a lot of ussr ai save runs, and they are always so self crippled its hilarious
two words Sheeps mod
I think USSR is just too much for the ai to manage
Yeah new China looks amazing
Soviets by default get debuffs to keep them from being the insanely overpowered country that they had the potential to be
This might be best update ever
Borders are disgusting
I see you have never experienced the joy of eu4
Also I think the warlords are gonna give china a lot of needed content
Right now we have our base 7 chinas and a terrible focus tree
love this pic, forgot the name of the attack
Paradox attack of 43
as it should be
Chinese borders are never good imo
lmao
I have never played any chinese nation
Honestly theres many nations I havent played lmao
April 1940 rn. Gonnas start WW2 late
Not even PRC?
Italy is knocked out of the war
I mostly just stick to mainland europe
China currently is a tad boring
Actually I might have checked them out like a year ago
when I was very shitty at the game
Asia is my favorite continent in hoi4
boring
😡
Everyone is weak there so you get to build up everything yourself
Also only continent where you can conquest without consequences
no
thats south america
South American countries be joining axis sometimes though
asia theres some consequences you just always have a lot of core pop
Europe is a pain to fight in sometimes
Austria gets by Italy, Czechs, Romanians, Yugoslavs, Turks, Greeks all guareeenteed
Not to mention all of the north gets saved by Britain
If I ever play Europe I change my game rules to make guareentes invalid
Second my next cruiser line is complete I'll start. Just in time before wargoal expires too
Or just go as Austria and annex half the continent by making threats
how do I decyrpt my enemys? I have like never done this before
welp ima start
Good luck
Yup ty <3
Well, you can't take BBA without navy
wait
no
You can't take navy without bba
Bittersteel?
I see it
1 more requirement to go
How come your colors look so smooth?
For another time 
Buff land cruisers
Its probably my map mod
FPS map
U made that?
No
Oh lmao
What's the practical difference between taking state or taking puppet?
thanks m8
Yo what country has the best armor research bonuses if anyone knows
I wanna do a singleplayer game where i rush land cruisers
yu can
you*
puppet then annex puppet
Yugoslavia lowkey needs a new focus tree
About BBA, I got the DLC for free, no idea why, Paradox support couldn't tell me either. They said I was free to keep it tho.
Any thoughts?
HEHEHE
Germany alone will be stronger than all of them combined
im not part of the coding or steam team so i have no clue but happy for you
So yeah im stuck now
allies aren't doing shit
and the stupid spanish naval invaded me when I was on the offensive
makes sense
take the dutch tile and then push from your river beachhead
also thats just 4 divisions
more
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING FOR GOD SAKE
when will italy have their civil war
sometimes they just will not
i had it multiple times that they just cap before they go into civilwar
corrupted save
play bhutan frfr
So I think im stuck like this now
Can't build a airforce cause the allies are worthless and are somehow losing the naval war it seems
lemme try
well
you gotta pin the dortmund tile
and the other one
if you want to focus one tile
in a stalemate
pick a tile with multiple connected tiles
whos tiles next to them
also has tiles connected to them
3 understrenght units on dortmund
push that
my ideal push spot is a 2:1 for tile ratio for the 3 tiles im pushing
2 to pin them in place forcing them to bring up reserves
SNAKE
good job
GO GO GO GO GO
take the airfield too
Damn
I thought he was doing the Dutch
The Dutch have that path too
Wdym u didn’t memorize every single path in the game
find holes and push them... pause... not like that
Going for the south now, there super weak
hoi4 micro is pattern recognition
Hoi4 micro is just pincer spam tbh
THEY HAVE NO ORGGGG
@lofty jacinth I Found you.
I already did
eh im good
Trying to encircle dortmund
its better to get an encirclement tho
There, small but its something
push that tile thats attacking your 12 stack
when it stops pushing
then the tile next to that
Maybe let him play the game himself 🥀
no
he is posting updates
i will micro for him
British ai just got a breakout up here and I took advantage of that
peak
cut them off at emden
ik you are
but you could starve off a bunch of
REVENGE
now THATS an encirclement
how many units is that
a 14 stack, 8 stack, 6 stack and 2, 4 stacks
oh wait another six stack
and a bunch of other troops
61 divisions from everything i can see
There using my own forts against me....
@warped flint just let them be
just have them exist there
they have no supply
or well little supply
Yeah i took some more ports so there probably gonna die
I feel like im gonnna get encircled
guys what should i respond?
W?
It does literally nothing it’s just for roleplay
If you were being serious
Nah that’s a minor L
yeah my ships needed more repairs. I dont like how many cruisers I lost since I only killed destroyers
i am stupid but not that stupid
bro
FINNALY
gj
Upon further consideration, I will be using 1940 sub spam as China due to the 1940 base sub being 200 cheaper than 1936 cruisers.
Shall I try to capture north Africa and blow up the suez? Or sea lions first
Damn lucky
Just sealion and win
Naval bombers???
Or cas on naval strike???
many naval bombers I have. so sur eill use em
Finally my carriers ar edone
K. Because they allow for you do sometimes just delete a task force in own battle.
True. Just gotta wait to find those damn British cowards in their fancy ships
You can also do port strike to hit ships that are repairing.
Bc then bombers can damage a ship at sea and then port bomb it to the bottom of the ocean.
lol
Just take the suez or smth and block em in
Yeah I have nothing in North Africa. Time to send Rommel ig
Prolly should. If you take suez you can also encircle a lot of troops in North Africa.
ggs
me as hungary
Time to go to Tobruk
MY EYES
i balkanized russia
and united all of scandinavia
and the actual balkans...
theres also uh 2 russias
Allies and Soviets been doing this for 2 years (its 1942). Should i wait till something happens or should i join the fun?
join in on the fun!
ugh no hungary
holy shit spain instantly took Gibraltar when I allied them
Against who?
whos winning
None
it appears that the polish are winning
i helped the poles to get to kiev in the first place (volunteers)
What if i backstab france and poland?
whatever
then you need to deal with everyone else
well, my military is a banger
I have so many maxxed out tanks
dunno
Mostly bc of spain, bulgaria and poland
Civilwars yk
thats why theyre at war in the first place
communist poland joined comintern
and the other one was with allies
Now im just watching infinite casualties
just wait for them to
The only W Franco will do
front btw
just let them hit eachother forever
andd
stab both of them in the back
30 days till dlc🈵 🈯 🎋
BRO IT WAS BEAUTIFUL
yo name says 40
yes
THEN THE STUPID FRENCH DEMANDED THAT GERMANY LIVES IN SILESIA
kill em
I will
i bloody hate hoi4's autosave sometimes
Fr
in 1946 is lowkey kinda bad
wdym
stalemate or good advance rn?
when did u declare on em?
The soviet union came back
I took moscow stalingrad and leningrad in 1942 originally
but?
Then declared on them in 1946 again as well as communist china and iran
Because the soviet union came back
nvm then
i took berlin and moscow btw and this is what i got stupid British
my eyes hurt
i know!
japan rn btw
The allies helped me in war against poland, Italy, and the ussr in early 1941 to 1942.
the allies don't let me take shit in germany besides some minor territories even though I beat the crap out of germany ALONE
I TOOK BERLIN
I ROLLED INTO HAMBURG
IT WAS ME WHO HELD ALL OF THEIR LINES FOR 3 FRICKIN YEARS
player led peace conferences mod
AS HUNGARY
how so?
i just don't like the idea
???
time to get 0 supply
You can give the ai its fair amount of territory
rip
With 30% of the war score i was able to demand Poland and the territories up to the 3 major Russian cities
Actually the uk gave some of Poland's states to me because i had claim on them
yeaa but it only really works
if
you are doing
this is what I hate about Africa
i push through north africa fine until i get to Egypt theres NO PLACES FOR SUPPLY
Also, one of my volunteer units got from Veteran Level down to Regular over time even while attacking. How can that happen?
This is the closest supply depo/port :(
Then after the war with ussr there was war with Japan which i joined and dragged Ukraine and Hungary into and we took those places and i allied with China
the germans will never get me! (I already made like 500k casualties on the germans)
Im chilling rn. USSR at war with allies and japan. Im just waiting to backstab them all in a year or two.
Now germany has declared the greater german reich and owns 20% of the world, without ever fighting the allies
I let the ussr push all the way to Paris and then retook it to get the decision
@unique crag personally what I would want is paradox gives all capital cities a tag "original capital city" if you take that city in the sense that it was your troops that did over 50% of the damage done to the units in the tile during the last time that tile exchanged hands. not who controls it or who got there first. who did the most damage in the battle. gets idk 5% more warscore or something
and then
every city will start as a "original large city" and "original small city" giving 3% and 0.25% respectively
🔥
if you're liberating land
then the score is halved
so if you liberate the original capital in the same war
say if you liberate a captured paris
you get 2.5% more war participation
something like that would be cool
because
Yes like i only got 30% participation meanwhile the entire battle depended on my troops being there or not
exactly
like you hold the line
and take the main objective
just to be told britain has more war score because they
messed up some italians in africa
in the middle of the desert
and also invaded iran
I don't know even if stuff went on in africa i wasn't looking
or the US getting 30% of the war score for existing and sending 50 million guns
everywhere
to every rock that calls itself a nation
The united states were not involved in this war :3
and whos willing to fight anyone that isn't a democracy
they did join for japan though
go into your occupied territories
impossible to get supply into this sand hole
found it
@unique crag what are we thinking about the war score rework?
Hella Fire
also
I agree 100%
also if you're fighting a defensive war
then simply not capitulating
should give war score
not too much because like
Participation trophy
new zealand doesn't deserve war score
well like
okay
lemmie give you an example
I play hungary a lot
in the monarchist hungarian path
one of the things you can do is puppet czechoslovakia
if you do
the germans will
how do i check if planning bonus is applied?
ask for the Sudetenland eventually
i will then sit on the czech mountains
which already come decked out in level 5-7 forts
no researching forts required
They deserve like 1%
Yo chat
0%
...
NZ my goat 🔥
The weirdest thing happened to me rn
but like i watch as germans waste away on my frontlines being entirely unable to push so they just don't push ever
So i was trying out Netherlands focus tree cuz Man the guns went free right
I have surrounded all of germany with level 7 forts
I have no dlc except for battle for the bosporus and man the guns
Up to moscow and leningrad
and i just wait till the soviets declare war on poland because
I join on my save which was on iron man mode
and down to Italy
Suddenly i got the dlc features?
this has happened a few times
But not the focus trees just the features
actually
Like spying and international market
Fr?
yeah they added shit for a bunch of people
i hate egypt
someone earlier today got by blood alone for free
Just like that?
^^^
nice
just like that
Congrats
For no reason whatsoever
A lot of people too
it appears they're giving out handouts to people who owned man the guns iirc
peak fiction
WHAT
That too
Lol
Ofc I have to own every dlc so I get nothing free
I just wait till 80% of the french leave france for the eastern front and then proceed to cut poland off supply and take france so that all british, french and allied divisions on the eastern front are stuck with no supply. I then go into stalemate there and let the soviets fight them like some idiots both are and proceed with taking britain through paratroopers. Ill send rommel to do the africa thing together with Balck who i got desert fox in libya while fighting the italians and that should be it. Maybe ill take spain and portugal to establish some reichskommissariate and im good to go. The allies are at war with everyone and everyone is at war with each other so it shouldnt be too much of a problem for me to abuse that.
My fortifications make the maginot line look like a divot drawn in a sandbox by a child
holy yap
I have 90 nuclear reactors
300 dockyards
i got 192 👅
lady we get it you got a lot of shit
I have room for probably 1000 i would guess
AINT NO WAY
I am so so so happy, I refunded blood alone 2 months ago. If I got robbed of MTG and BBA on the same year, I think I would genuinly delete everything Paradox related.
I HATE ITALY
italy is ahh
ASS
600 civilian factories
i might have a few free dlcs
because i don't actually own them all
i just use the subscription
i bought the 7.99€/m for all dlc's
IN THE LAUNCHER IT SAYS I OWN THE DLC?
wild
Dude i just canceled my subscription btw the one for 3 months
hm
I wasnt planning to even like, continue it
It def did
I got multiple notifications, and my dlcs were disabled
you know what i think happened
Like a couple weeks pass by and i het them back
?
people who returned a dlc got it back free today
Woah
bcs like
man the guns got made free
i bet you it was probably supposed to be like
for man the guns only
YOOO
and someone at paradox did a goof
Loaded an older save. I am not pushing more into Africa until railways are done
because everyone would collectively storm paradox studios
although
whenever you get a paid thing for free out of nowhere
its always a good idea to believe that it will be eventually taken away
is that WALTER WHITE
Im going to hand my germany over to the ai and declare war on the world and see what happens
so use it while you have it @faint tusk
Yh ppl would be pissed if u take stuff away from them after u just gave em sum
Yeah ima try to enjoy it
plase
they probably just lost a lot of money
its kaiserriechdux
yesssss
?
insane amount of focuses
don't play kaiserreich redux
Are there any mods that can comment on this
think they already did
germany and india
Rlly? Where
russia is INSANELY good on kx
and also spain
i mean... LOOK AT THIS
(the focus tree is also well done
as you have to control the crisis
before civil war
Finally. Waited 2 months to build some railways and harbor no thanks to SHITALY
^^^
and btw this is only the LEFT path
there is a RIGHT path
double the focuses
double the power
double the fall
that is not a big focus tree
i have seen vanilla trees bigger than that
STAR WARS REFERENCE
Oh dang ok
have you
you clearly havent seen it well enough
and as ive said
the right path has been hidden
so
what focus is that
that is the hungarian focus tree
yes and the spain has a bigger focus tree by the looks of it
as i said
only half the focus
for vanilla hoi4 +Götterdämmerung
yall think theyre boutta do naval invasion?
there is the right path that has been hidden
guess what kx focus tree this is
i suspect you will guess germany or russia
suspect
this nation isnt that big
any ideas
how do i check planning bonus
why is spotify autoplay lwk cooking
On steam it says i dont own any dlc
i am getting good songs
italy or austria
FINALLY.
what are these focus names and icons
🇵🇦
Panama so i dont rly expect anything great
okay...
guess focus tree (this is ONE SIDE of a civil war nation)
im selling that
well you seem to be a big supporter of one of the worst overhaul mods on the platform so i wasn't expecting much outa you either
its panama
focus tree big is not a good mentality
i had a girl hug me because it was cold and she wanted to warm me up, and like despite all that shit, i'll ask her out and she'll just say no, im nearly 100% sure lol.
like why are people so weird wtf?
ask her out then bro
its not that deep
if she says no then thats fine
if she says yes congrats you got a girlfriend
she's 9 years my senior, i'm 20
spotify autoplay is so good
"shes 9 years" 🗣️
so you get a girl older than you again so what
this is the hoi4 discord of all places
why are you asking here
hoi4 players know the best
i was gonna send a hoi4 screenshot but its banned for existing
you should know no one here has a girlfriend
and anyone who says they do is lying
but fr
just ask her out @jaunty delta
whats the worst that could happen?
she'll say no, which doesn't make sense
Finally captured Egypt and north Africa. Wheres the decision to blow up the Suez?
MY FPS
you don't hehe [/j]
they need to own part of the suez
also what on earth is the
one thing i hate about kx is how it lags your game however i do think this is 70% hoi4
bloody hell
archeological stuff
idk, i rarely do it
is it vanilla?
tfym give it back
they needa own one of the tiles
Bruh
on the banks iirc
so many allies nearby
welp i wont be able to now because the italians moved in
ty italy
maybe shes feelin the same thing
Thats stupid tbh that u need to give 'em 1 tile. I own the entire thing let me do what I want
I think its supposed to be a last ditch event
A competent Italy ai whaaaaaaa
how do i check planning bonus
what does raise the jolly rodger do
Also nice
true but sitll annoying
Oh they were the opposite of competent.
I had to build the entire supply line in Africa myself
I become a pirate I think idk
😭
god bless you bro
Loaded earlier save. Should this be good enough to nuke the canal?
any german join mp 2
for your wisdom
Oh no problem
my division org is so low
add more
ss?
template for now
Still no decision to blow up the canal
and the field
When will the DLC come out?
🫃
bruh
So why the hell is the decision not there Paradox
Maybe thats for the allies only
idk seems like its available for any nation
No like
You need to own all of it for Germany or italy
Idk
You also need to hold the canal
Wait are you Germany?
Yes
So you can't do it
so keep pushing into Sinai then?
It isn't
You need to control the suez
sure
Mmhhhhh
Germany needs to own the land
I LOVE YOU PARADOX
