guys the only dlc that i don't have is Graveyard of Empires because some people said in the beginning that it actually broke the game and historical game does that still apply?
so it doesn't alter historical gameplay?
No
why reviews so bad still
Bc its release was bad
i hope you're not a undercover dev
I'm not
very reassuring thanks
If I was I'd have to tell you
im over the cover youre just under it
is this small poland not a puppet at this point-
😎
why cant i get the recourses
Sweden has an event where they can blow up the mines
Maybe its that
Ok
\nyone here have experience playing uk in sheeps mod/ mp?
gotta love when you have to restart the game cause for some god dam reason you dont see enemy units or any units for that matter
you know what i just go to bed
M
Click m
dont worry man i am going to bed cause got work early
gn
Dont let the bed commies bite
wow
Worst mils I done ever seen
a singular piece of artillery by 1940
lol im about to just use console commands
What country is this
Why?
idk they just like bullying people i guess
syupfet
?
yeah i dont think thats gonna be enough
please cancel this message, i don't want paradox to patch another fun exploit
Who' s from poland???
Ah I see
Either way
peep
Tell Sejozwak that artillery expert doesn't buff your division if you have no line artillery
It's really bad
In any case here is what happens when I add a cavalry specialist
I love Light Cruisers
true
I don't usually see them be this good, but they are very good
Expensive, but worth it.
You should go DP light battery by 1944
Or if you are willing to spend the steel you go light battery 4 (which increases piercing to 9 but isn't much of an improvement)
Could do, but they shred anyway.
You do have 1084 extra steel, but yeah typically late game I find I run out of steel
Tibet has a claim on khartoum, for some reason...
never in my life would I ever see this happen
Nice
central power victories
these borders rip
The European borders are atrocious
all I can see is Turkestan
good
is there any way to play ironman without auto saving every 5 seconds?
nope
good job paradox
turkestan stronk
Release as puppet and dot he focus for commonwealth and you get the formable
avarage hoi4 experience (its a n@zy german puppet state)
i have a very high end pc and i play at speed 5 so every 3 or 4 seconds i have to wait 1 extra and it really disturbs the flow of everything
its hungary lol
so when are we gonna fix rome
cause there's literally no way you form rome without being thrown into a civil war if you're trying to get all the cores lol
Which state are you playing as?
Wdym
Romanov Poland. Formed Slavic Union.
If you form Rome you're at war with the allies -> infinite naval invasions are ok to deal with
But if you want to go to war with Germany to core the benelux etc. It just becomes impossible to keep your eyes on all cores
And if you lose a singular core your balance of power ticks down
If you dont want to Deal with the Balance of power, Just bring back the king
You can still do rome
Or any of the 2 fascist kings
wait what?
Aye but mussolini is slightly easier in terms of conquering in my opinion
Also I'm just not that experienced in the game so the balance of power just makes it infinitely harder
Fascist kings?
I lost 2 provinces in turkey and that caused the civil war to fire.
Hungarian leader?
Oh oof
Balbo and Grandi are not kings lol
Yes, Italo Balbo and Dino Grandi
Not kings lol
The funniest rome is democratic king rome
You didn't lock down the Mediterranean?
Well okay, sorry I dont remember every nuance of the Game after a measly 200 hours
It's the same branch of the tree, so I thought it's all monarchist
I hire the prime minister to be leader and have the king as a national spirit
Eh, Grandi has some of the best air bonuses in the game
I did, however if Germany succeeds both Iran and Iraq are in the war too
And proceed to invade the world
well they're not kings, only the king is the king, they're alternate duces
I mean theres a focus gives you a wargoal on all neighboring countries so it's not difficult for any other verion
Oops
Italy has 2 kings Emanuel as either democratic or non aligned, his son, and then the 2 popes
And even tho my army was huge I couldn't multi task Germany, allied invasions, Germany pouring in trough the east with Iran and Iraq
Ah right
Ah, I usually try to defeat allies before dealing with Germany
Yes but mussolini gives you non core manpower as well and a bunch of recruitable pop etc.
Eh but the papal states spirits are pretty powerful though
That was the gameplan as well, but I thought Germany would be weak enough to rofflestomp after both the soviets and a good amount of fighting allied invasions and Africa
Once you secure the med, send the fleet to the English channel
They are, but I honestly didn't feel like going trough that first
I just link up to east Africa and call it a day with the africa campaign
Fair
wait since when did italy have this branch
Civil war tree
Appears to be the anti-fascist one
There's 2 versions of it
💀 💀 💀
did it come out with bba
or later
i genuinely had no idea they had a civil war tree lmao
Well how often do you get a civil war?
Yes
i wasnt playing as italy
Oh
even if i do, i dont have that much of a skill issue to get the civil war
me and my buddy reformed the central powers (im germany hes austria) and we went to war with the soviets bc they wanted his territory
so the soviets randomly declare on iran
and for whatever reason
iran was in the allies
so now
the entire allied faction, and the central powers, are fighting the soviets
oh
and the east-asian co prosperity sphere
literally the whole world is against the soviets 😭
Chat
I think my homeboy is a tactical genius wtf
WHAT is he doing
What
oh i am FRYING THEIR ASS definitely
Elite player levels
well we've both played for over 200 hours
Aint no way you can make austria win
i think he has like 1.2k
and i am the homeboy he speaks of
🥀🙏
all diplomatic
i have 1.2 thousand hours
ignore my name
yeah with goterdammerung you can diplomatically take back all of the lands that the austrians once held
I yearn to play hoi4
doing so good i can just grand battleplan it and marvel at my victory
Holy smokes
yeah
pushed the changelings quite good. What are you all doing to save the changellings here?
Isnt ts ww1
im kicking the soviets ass
National Socialist German*
well
Ohh
No because
literally the whole world
is against stalin now
like
we are with the allies
and the greater east asian co prosperity sphere
we have the WHOLE WORLD against stalin
😭
every faction just hates him gng
im doing the heavylifting for the team btw
Ok yeah they cooked
chat is this tuff ?
Dang what is bros template?
Basic 9 infantry and a few support companies
Wow
I'm actually moving like prime Brady
I AM
WEVE GOTTA GET THE SOVIETS
I HAVE A PHONE
Here I am struggling to understand why I suck at templates 😭
I understand everything BUT the stupid template
Support AA, engineer company, and if you want armor (which you should) add a light recon company (recon too)
then just 3x3
18 width is so peak
and for tanks
Field hospitals if you can afford it, then medium tanks and mechanized infantry
I don't have the no step back dlc
I have all free dlc and the expansion pass 1 (not worth it, should've just gotten gotteradmurung singly)
ye
Graveyard of empires was a meh
this is just medium tanks, mechanized inf, and the support companies
Bro I don't think I can afford that 🤣
"No mission too hard, no sacrifice too great" -Stalin to his army
I am freezing my ass off outside rn
if you want mechanized
I should've worn a coat
I need advice, when do you usually start building mils?
well its a mix
I usually do it mid-late
try to have atleast 30 militarys
but civs should be first
for all intensive purpoes
Start of civ greeding
What I do is start building mils around late 37
and then a mix until 1942
Is that valid
That's fine with majors
and then once im at a comfortable amount like 120 civs
or around 60 for smaller nations
I do mils
in general though, especially in iron man
you want more civs 90% of the time so you can reinforce yourself more
100 civs will always do u right fr ❤️
Yeah I think that's why I keep loosing wars, I call myself an advanced begginner even though I have 200 hours in the game lol
Also what're everyones thoughts on the alternate japan democratic path?
For the DLC that is coming up
they were in austria less than two years ago btw
Just found out that -
You have to disable Men The Guns now to be able to play Egypt and to get that achievement. 
Because then you can release Egypt as a puppet and play as it.
@nocturne cedar
what
You just finish the decolonization path
nice EU4 mod
You have to play as Egypt tho.
Unless I am mistaken.
Yeah you aren't clearing that I think
another turkey enjoyer
W
ts gone too mainstream
Why does my need of guns in this game never end 🙁
I used:
1
2
6
7
10
11
For 10 my airforce was good but not insanely good, the RAF was better than me in terms of fighter
I invaded from Northern Ireland
America actually not going historical in alt hitorical
Who is real China?
Mongolia mentioned rahhh
I took all of the north anyways
all he wanted was the resources down south
and I wanted all the resources.
🤤
What’s the most disturbing/scary thing in boi4 (including mods)

@wraith mauve
guys... i lost 1 vs 2 to my friends...
and i just went full downfall mode germany
from the movie
i already broke my keyboard too much but its still working (the exact same keyboard i use for writing)
funny. I just bought a white monster
uhhhhhhhh??????????
If i recall they didn't actually own them, they owned the money that would come from scrapping the vessels
(Also wasn't it cancelled eventually?)
Is that not normal?????
Holy Russian empire
wtf is this
Yo blud
Do u play tno often!
no
@tired epoch
peak name
Bro beat the tutorial (they don’t come with prizes bro)
Rise of shit
its 1940
almost until my game crashed
Real shit
how did dead uk embargo me wth
i have like 3k naval bombers in reserves cuz why not
I dont need them rn
U can still train them and make em better at killing ships
Also dont waste mils on naval bombers
Build dockyards and produce 40 light attack light cruisers
bruh
Wicked Island
anybody know a good 1920s mod?
This thing spawned in my save in Turkey, and quickly joined the Comintern. Turkey fought Kurdistan, only to be retaliated by the USSR
wanted to do a full soviet playthrough and i figured starting with tgwr and then a 1920s mod would be a good start
currently this is my situation lol
based
almost 1946, lets see if my grand country of New Zealand can land in Europe or if it will just me another slaughter house like the last 500 attempts from the other allies
Good luck on your tank armies
do I disable my mods and ACTUALLY get any achievements....
OR do I leave them on and never worry about achievements ever again!
still waiting for the day this game goes on sale
You switch your playset to no mods
Wait
I like my map mods
Idea
😢
Play mods that are either:
A. Ironman compatible
B. Have achievements of their own
theres ironman compatible mods?
let me look through my mods
rq
its probably player-made peace conferences
which I dont care about
Yeah, that is not ironman compatible
Makes it so the player can decide everything in a peace deal instead of the AI being able to screw them over
I do NOT care about that lol
unless im going for world domination
in which I would not use iron-man mode
tbf
gonna play as the US, since they should allow me to get most basic achievements
MY VINTAGE MAP MOD
I dont think its ironman compatible.
NOOOOOOOOO
I LOVE THAT MOD 😭
wym
ah man I love starting a new USA run
its so niche
and I dont have to worry about war for five years 🌻 🔫
Question! Does deleting your units pre-civil war lessen the units the other side would gain? I've seen Chaotic Florius do it but never really tried it myself out of fear for screwing myself over 💔
depends on if there are spawnins in the civilwar
if there are no spawnins they will start with 0 units and so will u
so train up divs day1 OF the START of your civilwar
then deploy asap
cos if u have units in training the ai gets some of them iirc
and then can deploy units as well
Gotcha
Thank you sm!!
np 🥰
Yeah its not, very sad
Especially since I've started doing more achievements recently
Woah dude careful on the b word
What AREN'T you researching atp 😭
its only june and I have like 70% of ALL the years reserach
Japan is gonna stare at me in horror as I unveil a tank 7 YEARS before it was supposed to be researched 💔
speak of the devil and he shall arrive, japan declared war on china 😢
Navy
Based
navy is peak btw
I LOVE the navy system
dont care what any1 says
even if it is a little bit
...
unfair sometimes
Actually?
yes actually
in 1775 on november 10'th
I should train 400 marine divisions
and go into a 1.3 million gun deficit
😭
Wikipedia already is set to the 11th
Playing as america again, since I only played them on my first playthrough*
they are lowk insane
no tools tech 🤬
150 civs STARTING
always research tools 🔥
owned? should be like 128 and then like 30 from trade
I go to 150 civs and then just spam mils and dockyard so by 1939 im just a war machine
or tanks 2 years ahead of time for a lovely discount of 100 days 🗿
Wait I did that wrong
10% cap is op
Truly play the US.
Build like 20 mils total between 1936-41 like 20 dockyards, and the rest civs
Then you convert all your civs to mils
r tools 5
ew base game
cos tools 5 is a 43 tech
the bane of my existence
u can int tools 4 alot of the time
tools 3 u should always be researching from day1
i dont see any reason not to
I love the base game bc it genuinely just makes it easier to get achievements (for me atleast)
im also too broke to get all of em
🥀
and im about to buy dispatch
so yk
30 out the window
fr
Wait surely this won't force the USSR into Poland's defensive war
I'm playing the Lithuanian SSR 😭
r they alr at war?
shouldnt do
also they r guaranteeing u
r u at war or at peace
No but it's letting me gauruntee poland
you should? have the choice to call in soviet
also
if you jsut dont click on the call to arms
u dont suffer any penalty
Wait wuh
I don't plan to interact with germany until I annex Latvia and Estonia
i would assume thats how it works
then just dont accept the call to arms?
like jstu leave it
you dont have to touch it
🫡
nothing happens if you dont touch it
Yeah ik!
nothing ever happens
Just thought it was interesting I could drag the soviets into the war against germany this early on
😨
does anyone know if the US is gonna get a focus tree as in depth as germanys? cause rn the US tree is kinda buns
remebrance day today
Lest we forget
wrong one
I just funny have it in my saved gifs
I don't think it does, but I might be wrong
Lithuania can remove the guarantee before a war starts or something like that
Or just not click on it
And nothing happens
pretty good place to be
messed up my army experience a little bit
gonna take me a couple months to get some tank divisions
but besides that all is well and my production is fire
193 civs, 62 mils, and 55 dockyards
in other news
The house always wins
Miklos Horthy supremacy
He should be the leader of the communist and democratic party too then hungary could have a 4 way civil war
He's literally fighting his inner demons
RIP yes king guy
Hinegarian-Spain collaboration right there
guy must be a leftist with that much infighting
why communist paths are lackluster compared to fascist and monarchic ones?
paradox bias?
Daamn
chat if you ever needed a reason to think the french are weird they have a marching song about onions
and its a bop ngl
onion bread loverism
the austrians can't have any though
So if you start a civil war how do you determine how much of the military will be on your side?
Kaiserreich mod, cannot design ship as the module is inaccesable by this litlle image lower left. Is there a way to fix this?

Yes
As your front line advances will aircraft redeploy themselves to more forward airbases themselves?
If they have active missions in that area
dont believe so, you can set them to follow an army and they will but they also suck at being in the right regions
Does anyone use stronghold network?
if you're in a truly disastrous disaster save or in a very desperate situation and you can build them maybe
other than that, no

This manpower pull from puppets
Is it considered cheating in your book?
I'm not sure if it's actually considered exploit or not
you can do the same by 1939 if you're prepared enough
but yeah, germany's OP, most balance has gown down the drain since Arms Against Tyranny DLC and all that followed
bftb bulgaria:
the mod famous for overcomplicated equipment and the black ice
fixed the typo for you
me watching pdx slowly turn hoi4 into actual bloat like eu4
my HOI4 MULTI MOD will and shall Be the BIGGEST HOI4 MOD ever MADE
true, but they're limited by manpower in MP still, even if they can core everything italy never leave all of yugo to bul
they do
ai always accepts when you ask for territory and players should too
bice is more famous for it than MD
I meant in MP
MD is known for running poorly, though apparently its been optimized a while ago
also one of the leaders give infinite compliance
italy wants factories to build planes
im not aware if MD has a ton of mechanics to work with as well
- core
yes but they don't have planes
like bice have a lot of resources and techs and so on
you also get better MIOs
and can do mech
italy is mandatory to get the balkans so its played more
bulgaria is better to give balkans to
yes too, but italy needs the factories for planes
its less IC in the faction
its just worse
doesn't matter
if you have no air you lose
and bul doesn't need all of yugo to have a solid DDay wall
????
ofc they dont but you have more total IC
its like
straight up better
italian mils are shit
Based on your name Id think you enjoy overcomplicated mods like KX? that need path guides
If you have a dday wall in normandy and britanny + lots of planes as it's supposed to be, DDay is almost impossible without nukes or late game jet fighters from USA
i like overcomplicated mods but dont like overcomplicated mods?
yes
you can still make air as bul
What about rt56
or just make mech + inf for the faction
too lte for it and no resources
so they can use their core mils for air
Do u optimise it a lot
honestly i dont like mods that give like a billion things to read
like its fine to have ita have it
you just make mech and inf guns but you're still very limited by lack of resources
trade
not early and mid game and since most MP doesn't get past 1943 ...
not enough civs for planes
it is still worse
just takes up too much
it doesnt matter
did you not read what i said
ita could go 0 on inf
cuz you get LL
its just more mils you can use
you don't need all yugo to give ita all the guns they need, especially with rom and hun lend leasing as well
I've been in games with tight ruleset with ita that had no factories on guns and support eq, they had yogo, left greece to bul : there was big ass DDay wall and much more planes. No need for a big ass bul eating up early factories of ita
Ive heard poorly balanced from some MP people but that seems greatly exegerrated
german air > italian air btw
Idk about singleplayer reputation, Im not exactly impartial
german builds base air
ita converts
germany has henshel for tanks, it builds basically nothing but that and amtracks + plane base
why 😭 no focke wulf
focke wulf is so strong
cuz its better than base range mio
simple math : Ita has an equivalent and advisors but doesn't have henschel
in games where germany can't go mass mob (forbidden), no air ita is troll as you either lack air or lack tanks
you do air ita for CAS obviously
and maybe fighters
im just saying german fighters are better
italy rlly sucks in this version (in vanilla)
mods usually buff them
I just built econ and a bit of political and I had enough factories to solo, seems a bit op post GTD
USSR has no chance
if you knew just how OP it is with correct play its insane
on a 1v1 you cannot lose
it takes like a coordinated allied faction to take down germany
ussr is fine
AI ussr is really weak
U can fix that by playing sheep’s mod
And iirc in pve it’s unable to go toe to toe with Germany
ai any nation kinda sucks
That’s universal
yes but thats all theyre supposed to do
its doing its job
is it possible to set a homebase my ships?
strike force lets you sit in a port and "reinforce battles"
my naval supremacy is at 0%
and it has a range of 3 zones from the port youre in
i have like tons of ships
you can move port by right clicking/control right clicking a port
oh
but i still don't understand why it still says docked in whatever port it is in in germany
Because its docked in Germany and not in Vladivostok
it really is more like projecting supremacy without a battle unless your troop convoys get raided/another surface battle happens
becsuse you put it there
you have to move it to a port closer to the zone you want supremacy over
i tried right clicking a port in asia but it doesn't let me
click select all and then try right clicking
click the ships
not the navy
okay okay
its the icon to the right of what you have selected in the theatre
thanks
oh that
i kept clicking the left one
and the bottom one
the admirals
then right click to a port
is that why it didn't work?
well yeah when you select the admiral/fleet you select missions and zones
when you click the ships you can move them manually
thanks a lot lol
and into different ports etc
if i asked way earlier i would've already ended the war
holy rock
There a way to reactive a notification if i accidentally right clicked it?

Eurasia lore
How do you do this which path
Btw I have no dlcs so pls let me know if it needs a dlc
no
single player?
multiplayer?
sp
inf
mass mob
mass assault right branch
16/0 and 22/0 once u reach the 7th doctrine node.
can i use a diff one
for supports: arti aa hospital flametank rangers
you sure can
ion really like mass assault
this minimizes the losses
then don't use infantry
do grand battleplan left/right and use special forces
32.4 width mountaineers
i like inf but with mass assault just swiss gives 3m losses avg
max out mountaineer doctrine: L L R then proceed with gbp
I indeed said this once
and use 18/0 for mountaineers
when will the dlc be released?
mass assault reduces inf width
doesnt it have a limit to spcl forces tho
so u can fit more inf in the same width
u get more hp in the end
which means u lose less equipment and manpowe
i wanna speedrun them beforer they reinforce our border
80% of their troops are in south eu
when will the dlc be released?
🤌
when u do mass mob infantry u re actually doing air build
???
how do i make a checkpoint
/it wont let me save
ironman mode doesnt allow it
Does anybody know the secret to making Yugoslavia accept their fate?
I must save them from themselves!!
thats what I get for playing legit

hello yalls
what if stalin succesfully assasinated tito instead of getting cooked 5x in a row
Happy veterns day chat!
What if Stalin sent another assasin that got caught and tito sent one back and suceeded?
stalin stopped because of titos threat
Given the abundance of pro-Moscow cabinet members well before 1948 which they were then well-purged after that, Stalin would likely feel the need to prop up a surviving Soviet-aligning member with significant influence (which were unpopular in Yugoslavia) to legitimize the new Communist party he would be installing.
I know. Its a what if
but nearly impossible
Nearly, yet not fully
Earlier De-Stalinization. Simple answer.
Errr, not by a large margin?
There were no massive revolts post-war under Stalin's era, save for the small revolt in Berlin
And even then, it only occurred 4 months post-mortem
Under who was the prague revolt again?
So I may be the only one that wanted this but I kinda wanted to see PT boats added as a new Hull type in the dlc
Prague revolt?
Wdym?
The 1945 one?
Or the Prague Spring?
that one
Ah
didnt the soviets stop that one with tanks?
Oh brezhnev
The comically-large belly-man
Unfortunately, despite the wishes of many like Suslov who were against the idea
Go alt-hist, I'm afraid
I don't think Yugoslavia succumbs to the focus, even if you have a massive army near the border + high relations + Yugoslavia fascist percentage.
