not that one or that one or especially not the one youre thinking about

nah but fr Kaiserreich has so many cool historical characters that died in the Russian Civil War or became irrelevant under specific totalitarian regimes

you can get Nestor Makhno as a general in Ukraine

[tribal frost]

maybe

[deep solstice]

this would be a nasty encirclement ✌️

[whole cave]

also a lot of really cool socialist groups exist at a large scale in KR instead of bolshevism taking over the internationale like OTL

Hello everyone! I’ve been largely inactive here for the past week! What I miss?

[deep solstice]

well besides this FIRE encirclement

nothing much I dont think

FINALLY LETS GO

I feel so tuff

the harsh truth:

[random epoch]

yokohama is a port btw so it's not an encirclement if they can escape

[deep solstice]

troops never leave tbh

AI normally doesnt pull them out

they just die

they are dying

like they are ALL dying 😭

and the game counts that as "encircled"

it gives the modifier

atleast

nice

[deep solstice]

DUDE

STOP OH MY GOD

you are NOT hot shit churchill 😭

hes so lucky I had 17 divisions near iraq lmao

what is happening rn

im actually kinda confused

[dusky burrow]

actually no from what I can tell, but your divisions are a bit understrength

[deep solstice]

are they actually just fried

[dusky burrow]

you have supply and they don't

of course the axis are fried

[deep solstice]

Oh yeah didnt realize

[dusky burrow]

but if you push deeper into Iran they might get supply again

[deep solstice]

honestly, with the chinese war going easy

japan is about to capitulate

this might NOT be a doomed run

if we (the allies) take all the chinese territory

we can literally just go straight into german controlled USSR

also Im gonna stage a coup

20% democracy support is crazy

once we get to their USSR territory ill activate war plan black and stage a coup

[deep solstice]

another good thing, iraq joined axis, iraq is back to back with iran, so we can try to push them into a closed encirclement within iraq

and if we do that, thatll be upwards of 50+ divisions down

even though its unlikely to work tbf

btw @dusky burrow do AI controlled nations have the ability to spawn divisions?

bc churchill had 150 divisions like 2 months ago

he has 208 now

where did he get 58 divisions, with an 80k gun surpluss, in 2 months

[heavy vigil]

yes?

did you assume they cant..?

[deep solstice]

I meant like, not train, like actually spawn

[heavy vigil]

oh no

[deep solstice]

It was more, instantly spawn them

[heavy vigil]

they cant do that

unless its a decision players get too

[deep solstice]

damn, how the hell did he get 58 divisions that fast?

[heavy vigil]

like home guards

[tawny galleon]

I forgot about Syria

[heavy vigil]

probably just trained them

[deep solstice]

churchill was a man of many secrets

[dusky burrow]

[dusky burrow]

Okay cool

[dusky burrow]

Your first objective should be bandar abbas, the supply hub in the south tbh

I think it'd work though

[heavy vigil]

theyre only support companies now tho

[dusky burrow]

and bad ones at that

[deep solstice]

teyh discovered my plan 😢

[split bane]

Bro I hate stuff like this
I'm trying to do a world conquest as Fascist Britain and Spain has like 200 divs compared to my 600 and its 1953 so idk how I'm gonna kill the USSR and PRC faction

[random epoch]

One of paradox's blunders IMO

[deep solstice]

😢

thats what im still confused about

In late 1941, stalin had 300 divisions

and the german reich had 330

??

I STILL dont know HOW that happened

[dusky burrow]

is France in Spain's faction?

[split bane]

No I killed France way earlier than this, I'm trying to attack Franco along the French border where every tile has 13 divisions and everytime I try to naval invade another huge army attacks before I can land

[deep solstice]

italy its one tile

genuinely, and whole heartedly, go away 😭

gg boi 🔥

[dusky burrow]

You can naval invade with 130 divisions

Franco will be doomed if he doesn't get outside support

[deep solstice]

I got japan!!

dont I look beautiful

[dusky burrow]

did you naval invade simultaneously with 130 divisions?

[deep solstice]

I shouldve

I only did 6 🙄

[dusky burrow]

well fair enough if it works it works

but the sight of seeing dozens of divisions launch simultaneously is a spectacle to behold

[deep solstice]

I did that with my war with china as france once

veyr peak

[deep solstice]

honestly

I know its only like 1944 in my save

but with the germans controlling the USSR

dude they have like 800 divisions

im not doing ts dawg

🥀

allies declaring war on china

japan doing ANOTHER war with the allies

ive been picking up allied slack since 1941

I am DONE with this save 😭

chopped run

lets just rewind back to the beginning

and also never play ironman again

first and ONLY iron man run, and the soviets collapse in the big 1942

thats undeniably planned and I will not fall for this propaganda

like look at ts

800 divisions 🥀

[leaden mulch]

have u considered just making a save anyways

[deep solstice]

wym

that was kind of an unsaveable run

I was gonna be a stalemate until 1953

that was genuinely hot garbage

[dusky burrow]

yeah the terrian there is terrible

[deep solstice]

oh yeah NOW im playin peak

wrong photo oopsies!!

oh yeah

[dusky burrow]

cringe

[deep solstice]

excuse me

this game is amazing

do not hate on the greatest game of our generation

[opal nymph]

Im just saying, if i won the 1939 start date as Canada, you can win that game as the US

The power of atomic weapons can help turn the tide

You have to use them tactically and vaporize airfields

[limpid mantle]

anybody else believes that the USSR is a statistical curve

from high to low

when invading it

as you lose more supplies

[marsh ravine]

They have the uk alive its VERY winnable

[limpid mantle]

more equipment

every land gained

[marsh ravine]

If uk was dead invading Europe would be annoying

But they have the uk

[old gyro]

What’s a fun mod nowadays

[deep solstice]

Lowk

starting to realize

the US is so boring to play

its crazy

I did 5 years of buildup

for a bunch of foreign wars

and helping the allies 😭

that was genuinely lame 😭

[tepid crown]

In single player? playing any major power is a joke

[deep solstice]

honestly

the US should be the tutorial

instead of italy

its so easy

basic focuses, foreign wars ONLY

and it teaches you how to intervene with other nations and factions

now that I got those achievements tho, theres kinda no reason

I might play the USSR next

or maybe austria

[tulip thorn]

Its italy because they start at war

[deep solstice]

oh yeah

I forgot abt that

but like as a beginner friendly country

if you ignore that you HAVE to intervene in most affairs with the allies

you get 5 whole years to just build

and, none of the wars are at your doorstep ykwim?

[deep solstice]

Is austria fun?

i might play as them

[tulip thorn]

Very

Do you have Gotterdammerung?

[wet plover]

I played it as my first nation and yeah, that time to build and understand the economic/military building systems is very important. Along with politics, diplomacy etc.

[ancient marsh]

would you rather be rich but happy or poor but sad

[plain tusk]

Guys is it ethical to take over another nation to make then declare war (i.e using the tag command to make Germany declare on USSR) as long as there is a valid justification?

[brittle cypress]

poor but sad suffering builds character

[tulip thorn]

?

[brittle cypress]

why are you asking us what's ethical

[opal nymph]

To be fair, this was me playing Darkest Hour USA.

Soviets literally died before Japan declared war on me

[brittle cypress]

yes opening the console is cheating but if you're just using it to larp who cares

[plain tusk]

I want to use the tag command to make UK declare on Japan so that I can get the pacific theatre going. Japan has several volunteer units in pratically every front and is currently in the proccess of taking out the remaining warlords

[opal nymph]

They mega buffed the Axis, or at least Germany in that mod

[deep solstice]

lol that is pretty bad

[opal nymph]

Also didn't understand their division template system so my troops were bad

[plain tusk]

I just feel like it doesn’t make sense for the UK to not declare seeing as Japan has done a lot of shit

[deep solstice]

It was really because I was in iron man mode

and as my first time playing iron man

[marsh ravine]

Then have japan dec on uk?

[deep solstice]

it was very boring and discouraging to have all the worst things happen

[marsh ravine]

Its singleplayer you can quite literally do what you want

[opal nymph]

Average "historical" mod
Kneecaps the Soviets to being absolutely worthless
Megabuffs Germany to Blitzkrieg

[marsh ravine]

This is hist

[deep solstice]

I was on a war of EVERY front and it genuinely just sucked

[opal nymph]

Swastikas everywhere

[marsh ravine]

As well

[deep solstice]

Like the US is fun, but genuinely so much bad stuff happened I actually just didnt wanna play anymore

[opal nymph]

I enjoy playing vanilla US when I want to turn my brain off

[opal nymph]

Invade Normandy

War over in 42

[deep solstice]

I invaded italy

but the UK kept selling

[deep solstice]

well let me set this up for you

cause it basically was

[opal nymph]

Or early 43

[marsh ravine]

I tend to do the literal mp ddays😭 😭

[deep solstice]

Soviets fall in JUNE OF 1942

[tulip thorn]

Just wait, the japanese will declare lol

[deep solstice]

I am fighting japan

doing very well

they are on their last last

[opal nymph]

Okay, you are the US

[deep solstice]

africa is just falling to high hell

[plain tusk]

Good point

[opal nymph]

Liberate Europe AND Asia

Do you not have air support?

Air support wins wars

[deep solstice]

?

dude I won the war with japan

it was when the allies declared on china

that it got bad

thats what made me just geniunely leave the save

[plain tusk]

Tbh I think they will do so in around early 1943 and I don’t want to wait that long

[opal nymph]

You have access to North American Aviation, one of the better air MIOs

[deep solstice]

ye

[marsh ravine]

Brittany -> Normandy -> Netherlands
Then I do what I want which is:
Bordeaux -> Tuscany -> Dalmatia -> Greece

[opal nymph]

You can pump out P-38s and P-51s

[deep solstice]

the point still stands 😭

[marsh ravine]

Should be December 1941

[tulip thorn]

Its 41 and 42

not 43

and thats not that long

[opal nymph]

Opening another front in Europe as soon as possible could have saved the Soviets

[tulip thorn]

Unless your one that doesnt play hoi4 to 45-48

[deep solstice]

Soviets are gone, china is at war with us, and japan was still up.

It was just

a lot of very bad occurences

so rapidly

and I was NOT locked in

I guess I couldve went on a dual front

[marsh ravine]

I rly wanna play a long game tbh

As allies

[deep solstice]

but japan was doing insanely well

[marsh ravine]

But u have to kneecap urself so hard

[deep solstice]

i dont know why genuinely

but between being bored

and for some reason

japan was DESTROYING CHINA

and the germans were DESTROYING the soviets

[opal nymph]

Just play 1939 start date Canada

[deep solstice]

I mean I had to intervene or genuinely it all wouldve crumpled by 43

[opal nymph]

I think my game lasted to 44 or 45

[plain tusk]

Yeah 42 I skipped a year

My bad

[marsh ravine]

Thats kneecapping yourself😭

[plain tusk]

China did capitulate

[marsh ravine]

Skibidi focus order skibidi industry

[opal nymph]

I played special forces Canada (huge mistake)

[plain tusk]

There are two warlord states that aren’t in the comintern

[opal nymph]

Should have done tanks

[deep solstice]

either way it was such a brutal stalemate, I was in like a 20K gun defecit

attritioned to high hell

[marsh ravine]

Honestly I would say thats by far the best thing you can do

[opal nymph]

I only had 2 offensive units and 16 width inf

[marsh ravine]

Ahh then maybe tank could work

[deep solstice]

I was ready for the japanese, and dealt with them

[marsh ravine]

Amphib tank+amtrac

So u make fill use of commando expert and tank expert

[deep solstice]

however simply put, I overestimated the soviets

[opal nymph]

Still won with sub 500k casualties

[marsh ravine]

🔥

[deep solstice]

btw also I want to mention, by 1942 the german reich had 380 divisions

that is

thats insane 😭

[marsh ravine]

Yeh Just do a small dday into Brittany

[dusky burrow]

should be

[opal nymph]

I know i streamed it all and made a highlight video

[pastel urchin]

Non hist is killing me

[marsh ravine]

Brittany is easy af to hold

[deep solstice]

im gonna do an austria run

[opal nymph]

Soviets died in 1941 or early 42 in my game as well

[deep solstice]

that america run lasted way too long and was just boring asl

[marsh ravine]

The soviets cappinf

Makes it fun

[deep solstice]

Buff the soviet union

[marsh ravine]

Imo

[deep solstice]

they did not lose the war 😭

[opal nymph]

Also, my Workers Congress of America game vs the entire Reichspakt and Entente

That was pain

That was suffering

[marsh ravine]

Otherwise u win EXTREMELY easy imo

[opal nymph]

But Europe was liberated

[deep solstice]

the allies declared war on china as I was setting up to invade italy in early 43

I had no choice

but to suffer through a war of attrition with china

[marsh ravine]

Did japan capitulate?

[deep solstice]

yeah I cap'd them

[marsh ravine]

Genuinely where does it say

You need to fight china

[opal nymph]

Communist China joins Allies

[marsh ravine]

What will they do

[opal nymph]

That's the classic

[marsh ravine]

"Oh no I lost vietnam"

[deep solstice]

exactly

[opal nymph]

Called it

[marsh ravine]

China does not matter

You can ignore

[opal nymph]

Just ignore the China front

Go take out Germany

[marsh ravine]

Until germany is dead

[deep solstice]

you can NOT ignore the chinese

[marsh ravine]

It is FAKE

[marsh ravine]

YES YOU CAN

[opal nymph]

Yes you can

[dusky burrow]

nice

[opal nymph]

Just dont put troops there

[marsh ravine]

What will china do

They have no navy

[deep solstice]

you wanted me to just

[opal nymph]

Put your army for Overlord

[marsh ravine]

Where do they go

[deep solstice]

let my colonies die

and let them take all my land?

[marsh ravine]

At ABSOLUTE WORST

You lose malaya and raj

Put 30 divs there

You hold both

[opal nymph]

Raj and UK will hold the line

[deep solstice]

they didnt

[marsh ravine]

Because indochina

[deep solstice]

I had to expand my frontline to help them lol

[marsh ravine]

Is horrendous

For supply

[opal nymph]

Well. Guess you make a new army and overlord anyways

[marsh ravine]

Holding indochina is cooked

[opal nymph]

Or abandon china

[deep solstice]

the british raj got cut clean in half immediately

😭

[marsh ravine]

Where was the front

[deep solstice]

I just genuinely didnt expect it all to be THAT bad

[marsh ravine]

In indochina

Or burma

Or actual india

[deep solstice]

India

[marsh ravine]

Bruh

[deep solstice]

actual india

[opal nymph]

Is this R56

Or vanilla

[deep solstice]

Vanilla

[opal nymph]

You just had some renamed countries

So i was curious

[deep solstice]

I mightve gotten the name wrong ngl

im not on hoi4 rn

[marsh ravine]

Raj should definitely be able to hold idk what the ai did😭

[deep solstice]

the AI was exceptionally bad

[marsh ravine]

Its this

Not anything else

[deep solstice]

the UK did not even try to invade italy until like late 44

[marsh ravine]

Thats not vanilla flag

[opal nymph]

The fun in hoi4 is winning impossible situations

[deep solstice]

I use the flags mod

its iron-man compatible

mb

[marsh ravine]

Yeh thats why we asked cos r56 has same flag

For japan

[deep solstice]

valid question

[opal nymph]

Changed the name of the country too

[deep solstice]

I think I just said the wrong name

ngl

[opal nymph]

Empire of Japan is nonalliged

Japan is Fascist

State of Japan is Democratic

[deep solstice]

here let me rephrase 😭

[heavy vigil]

thats also possible in map mod

state name changes

doesnt have to be ideology

[deep solstice]

"vanilla"

[opal nymph]

I see, just didn't think it would be ironman compatible

[deep solstice]

I use some light cosmetic mods

I thought that would be considered vanilla thats my bad

[heavy vigil]

the way i play isnt ironman compatible but a lot is

[deep solstice]

probably these two

[heavy vigil]

[marsh ravine]

omd yes i remember that

[deep solstice]

I HAD LEFT THEM A SLIVER OF LAND

AND THEY DECLARED ON US

[heavy vigil]

it isnt a set date

[marsh ravine]

i thought without dlc it still goes at same time?

[opal nymph]

I literally played Spain once pre LaR and it took until 38 for the civil war to happen

[heavy vigil]

it could technically happen post ww2

its RNG

[marsh ravine]

[deep solstice]

I HAD TO FIGHT THE REMNANTS OF THEIR FALLEN EMPIRE

AND DIVERT MORE OF MY FORCES 😭

[heavy vigil]

[opal nymph]

Did you not puppet Japan?

[deep solstice]

that run was COOKED

[deep solstice]

No score

[heavy vigil]

youre bad at ignoring stuff that doesnt matter

and focus on quantity over quality

thats why you lose

[marsh ravine]

set a goal

and do NOT deviate

you MUST tunnelvision

otherwise china does stupid stuff

tunnelvision europe

[opal nymph]

I hope faction rework makes China focus on itself and not cause ww3

[marsh ravine]

do not get distracted by evil

[opal nymph]

There is only Europe

Secure the West

The West is all that matters

[tepid crown]

Wow USA moment

[marsh ravine]

i alw play sheep mod/not that far into game it never bother me

[opal nymph]

Middle East DLC proves that people only care about Europe

[heavy vigil]

thats happened in my ahist game

[marsh ravine]

[heavy vigil]

ive been sharing some of it

its like

the most historical ahist game ever

[deep solstice]

japan*

[heavy vigil]

not historical ww2

but like yk

[deep solstice]

I literally couldnt

[marsh ravine]

japan isnt dead right

[deep solstice]

like I just genuinely could not puppet them

[marsh ravine]

@heavy vigil

[tepid crown]

Still easy to beat them. They still can’t make tanks

[heavy vigil]

i made it die

[marsh ravine]

sheep mod...

[deep solstice]

[heavy vigil]

[deep solstice]

[marsh ravine]

THEY ONLY TAKE INDIA AND MALAYA MAX

[tepid crown]

I still need to try that mod. Still won’t compete with a player

[marsh ravine]

TTHEY HAVE NO NAVY

[opal nymph]

I should honestly play historical USA

Build like 20 mils and 20 dockyards and the rest into civs and special research facilities

[marsh ravine]

THEY CANNOT GET SUPREMACY

[deep solstice]

I had their homeland

they declared on my allies

i left them some land

[tepid crown]

Build 200 dockyards

[marsh ravine]

you had chinese homeland?

[deep solstice]

bc I had genuinely like no score left

[heavy vigil]

it doesnt matter

[deep solstice]

japanese home islands

[marsh ravine]

oh

tkae japan

thats it

u can even leave japan

it doesnt matter

[deep solstice]

The first thing they did was walk into my territory I just took from them

[marsh ravine]

"oh no"

[deep solstice]

I mean I guess I couldve left japan alone to focus on germany

but they wouldve definitely cap'd china

[heavy vigil]

so what 😭

[opal nymph]

Europe First Strategy? NoNo

Everywhere else but major countries that can pose a threat? YesYes

[deep solstice]

would japan not have been a pain in my ass?

[marsh ravine]

"oh no"

easier for you

[deep solstice]

Im america, would japan not do bad things to me 😭 ?

[marsh ravine]

they now go into india

[deep solstice]

they are literally at war with me

[heavy vigil]

even if they take hawaii they cant invade you btw

[deep solstice]

oh

well

didnt know that

[heavy vigil]

theres not enough naval range

[deep solstice]

[opal nymph]

The classic Attu to Alaska to Seattle Route

That's what I do

[heavy vigil]

ai doesnt do that

[opal nymph]

I do that

[heavy vigil]

[opal nymph]

Ports

For range

[deep solstice]

[opal nymph]

New naval mechanics

It might not work

NOOOOOO

[tepid crown]

Smh, Jonathan is ai bot

[deep solstice]

either way I just think america is boring

[opal nymph]

I have to relearn navy 🙁

[tepid crown]

Yes

[deep solstice]

no reason to play a nation that gets no action besides foreign wars 😢

[opal nymph]

Reaffirm Monroe Doctrine

Invade Mexico

Brazil

Argentina

[pastel urchin]

I hate uk

[deep solstice]

Oh I mean

[opal nymph]

El Salvador

[deep solstice]

[tepid crown]

[opal nymph]

Peru

[deep solstice]

Ill do that next time

[opal nymph]

Venezeula

[deep solstice]

Okay man I get it 😭

jesus 😭

im playing peak rn while I think about playing as austria

[opal nymph]

Secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity

[pastel urchin]

I feel pure hate

[opal nymph]

You do not win as America unless all majors are democratic

[deep solstice]

oh shakespeare

[deep solstice]

I actually had an america run

where the soviets didnt get slammed

[opal nymph]

No... the US Constitution

[deep solstice]

and I didnt intervene in any wars until 1943 😭 ?

[opal nymph]

The Preamble

[deep solstice]

but either way

I went in

[tepid crown]

Impossible

[deep solstice]

and took down axis

[deep solstice]

real

I didnt join in any wars until 1943

[deep solstice]

and didnt help the soviets till 45

WWII technically lasted until 1950 in that save

yo I was ass at this game looking back

WHAT was I doing until 1943 😭

was I just watching in silence

as china fell

[heavy vigil]

💔

[leaden mulch]

Bro was isolationion maxxing

[heavy vigil]

if you cannot win against ai as the US idk what to tell you

[deep solstice]

I WAS ISOLATION MAXXING 😭

[tepid crown]

Unfathomably based

[deep solstice]

Oh no, we still easily won

[heavy vigil]

does this look scary to you?

[deep solstice]

it was just 1949

[heavy vigil]

you literally still have java

your rubber is fine

[pastel urchin]

Im lowkey craving for a burger

[deep solstice]

it was more, "why did I do absolutely nothing to stop this"

my first few runs of hoi4 were

very special

and then I took over the world as germany

[heavy vigil]

Because its pointless?

germany is big scary threat

japan is like a side enemy

[deep solstice]

they kinda are

[opal nymph]

What kind of burger

[deep solstice]

I honestly never thought to just ignore them

[pastel urchin]

A big one

With tenderism

[marsh ravine]

industrialise the south 🔥 🔥

[opal nymph]

Joint Chiefs of Staff circa 1942

[marsh ravine]

(50 build slot mod)

[still loom]

Well ima stop here. Estonia run was quiet challenging but I managed to resist soviets and teamed up with axis to invade them. Made so many mistakes and thus not worth to push for a world conquest

[tepid crown]

Yes

[opal nymph]

Was JCS a thing in ww2

I forgot

[heavy vigil]

germany threat: take over the entire world eco
japan threat: take away your rubber (refineries exist)

[still loom]

I formed baltic too. It was so cool

[leaden mulch]

Unironically india and austrailia can handle japan

[heavy vigil]

not in sp

hes playing sp

but japan doesnt move far enough in sp to take africa and stuff

[hasty owl]

You did not micro at all

[heavy vigil]

its so non threatening

[tepid crown]

Probably still doable against ai

[still loom]

I did but not that much

[leaden mulch]

True

[still loom]

in the end I just spammed divs

[marsh ravine]

you didnt see my japan build where i took malaya and burma then immediately skipped india and the rubber to go into tanzania

[hasty owl]

@heavy vigil why are you a femboy?

[leaden mulch]

Goofy ahh question

[heavy vigil]

[still loom]

freaky people

[leaden mulch]

Why is the sky blue

[heavy vigil]

[marsh ravine]

[hasty owl]

You actually are?

[marsh ravine]

(i was pushing raj with 12w with 0 support very slowly cos of cas)

[heavy vigil]

[marsh ravine]

[opal nymph]

My beacon of democracy

[heavy vigil]

[marsh ravine]

give me perms to @ everyone pls

i will be responsible

[heavy vigil]

ask chak

[leaden mulch]

Pluh

[marsh ravine]

casey = chak

[opal nymph]

Both are evil

So it is true

If a=b and b=c, a=c

[heavy vigil]

what did i do to be evil 😭

[hasty owl]

He looks like he'd be a nice man who never says anything rude.

[opal nymph]

Cruely punish nonmeta gamers with the meta

[leaden mulch]

True

[heavy vigil]

im very nice to any non-germany players

[leaden mulch]

I knew no meta before I met casey

[marsh ravine]

casey calls me bad words

casey is very mean

[leaden mulch]

Except the standard 9/1 with aa, engineers, and arty

[marsh ravine]

!!!

[heavy vigil]

trusting me as source is like going to a lottery and expecting to win btw

[opal nymph]

Line arty is good

[heavy vigil]

like youll probably get bas advice because there are smarter people

[opal nymph]

Ive seen a 2016 video

[heavy vigil]

i like for china

[opal nymph]

The 7/2 is best

[leaden mulch]

I have won many times tho

[opal nymph]

7/2 roll over everything

[marsh ravine]

i would like to make it public knowledge

casey has never won against me

[opal nymph]

Superior Firepower also good because soft attack

[marsh ravine]

but i played with casey once and lost

[opal nymph]

[marsh ravine]

casey is bad

[leaden mulch]

1w is better

[heavy vigil]

i made you crash out before

so thats a win

[marsh ravine]

no me being tired is why i crash out

[opal nymph]

1 widths fit in 100% of terrain types

[marsh ravine]

so sleep hormone won

[leaden mulch]

Truth

[opal nymph]

Line AA/AT is the meta

[marsh ravine]

why do u think thats an albania build

[marsh ravine]

spaa?

[opal nymph]

I thought SPAA was 2 width

[leaden mulch]

SPAA is 2w

[marsh ravine]

i thouight it was 1w idk

[heavy vigil]

i was gonna try light spaa japan build but they dont start with aa :(

its so sad

cursed ways to china war

[marsh ravine]

roic it

just to try

[heavy vigil]

cuz it sounds funny in my head

[leaden mulch]

SPF is the best doctrine

[heavy vigil]

damn

this is like the first ever game where im gonna reach 9/11/2001 and wont be able to nuke the US

thats so sad

[leaden mulch]

My games never last that long

[opal nymph]

Me reading that and being concerned

[heavy vigil]

ive only done it like 5 times

[opal nymph]

Why would non Americans hate America. What did we do besides everything?

[heavy vigil]

1 time i set it up to double nuke every state

[opal nymph]

We sponsored Panamanian independence so we can dig in the ground

[heavy vigil]

they shouldnt usually i think?

[leaden mulch]

South and central american politics after the cia and other various 3 letter US government agencies...

[mellow shale]

bro guys

[opal nymph]

We needed bananas

[mellow shale]

[opal nymph]

Did you do research

And focus trees

[leaden mulch]

[mellow shale]

[opal nymph]

Hungary is the best beginner nation imo

[heavy vigil]

its ok for beginners

[opal nymph]

Learn to fix debuffs

Get free land

[heavy vigil]

it takes like reading to play germany

[leaden mulch]

False

[opal nymph]

Axis support

Or Canada

Allied support

[leaden mulch]

Damn

[opal nymph]

Learn to fix debuffs

[heavy vigil]

guam best beginner nation because you dont have to worry about anything

[opal nymph]

When was that a tag

[leaden mulch]

Did u turn off mefo bills despite going down that branch?

[heavy vigil]

its split between US and japan

[mellow shale]

i went down historical path

[heavy vigil]

i learned this video game repeatedly playing rwanda vs burundi and congo so idk

im not a good source on beginner nations

[leaden mulch]

Did u do the decision to remove mefo bills

[mellow shale]

no and yesn't and never

[opal nymph]

I learned thr game from playing Romania

First time I ever sea lioned was as Romania lol

[leaden mulch]

Good

[mellow shale]

i was winning on the south

the thing is

i got folded on north

[heavy vigil]

i high castled as czechs in a game

[mellow shale]

they almost took berlin

[leaden mulch]

What do your divisions look like

[mellow shale]

[opal nymph]

Oh

[mellow shale]

[leaden mulch]

Then why are you asking here

[mellow shale]

hoi4

game

[heavy vigil]

do you need me to show you a short playthrough on how to not die as germany

[opal nymph]

Oh

[mellow shale]

yes

[opal nymph]

Well now you learned the importance of air support

And why air supremacy wins games

[leaden mulch]

Ok

[heavy vigil]

uuugh fine

[mellow shale]

idk how to do air support

[opal nymph]

And that's why you lost

[leaden mulch]

You don't even need air theoretically

[heavy vigil]

i dont wanna log out of my game rn but fine ill play germany

[opal nymph]

Make planes
Select air bases
Make air wings
Give air wings missions and air zones

[opal nymph]

Yeah but why win slow when can win fast

[mellow shale]

i had panzers on every division stack i had

[opal nymph]

Now did you
