idk home base something something idk

[steady thorn]

@coral gorge

[misty fossil]

you talk like im already familiar with it

[coral gorge]

Probably not, since I don’t know what you meant

[misty fossil]

how do i change home base

[jovial narwhal]

ctrl click i think

[true needle]

I like bokoen has a discount code right now for buying the DLC off of paradox's store

"bokoenone" or something like that

[steady thorn]

like, do you have a code we can use on the paradox store and u get a comission from the purchcase

[steady thorn]

oh bokoen gives discount? how much

[true needle]

no idea, I can link the video where he mentions it in the first few minutes

[true needle]

https://youtu.be/BXBkzFg50gs

[misty fossil]

@jovial narwhal

[steady thorn]

tysm ^^

[jovial narwhal]

what vro

[misty fossil]

look at my screenshot

ctrl right click

[jovial narwhal]

burger

basically same

[misty fossil]

also i cant set homebases for different TFs in the same fleet?

[flat fjord]

Why did communist china join the allies ggs faction rework

[jovial narwhal]

uhhhhh

idk

ask john paradox

paradox "hoi4" interactive

[zenith charm]

very nice

[steady thorn]

it gave no discount xd

[true needle]

welcome back "Yugoslavia has joined the Chinese United Front"

[flat fjord]

I dont think anyone playtested ts

[true needle]

mongolia assumed faction leadership of the commintern in my belgium game

[sinful cloud]

what's that color scheme, ew

[still loom]

They fixed it

[plucky sedge]

is it just me or is china way way harder to beat as japan now?

tbh from my first game i dont really like the japanese tree

[deep solstice]

just a quick example of why i DONT like austria

[flat fjord]

The longer you wait the harder it is but early war china is cheese

[deep solstice]

yes I was not microing, I had already given up 😭

[plucky sedge]

how do you do it early? it started in 1938 for me

[deep solstice]

Just wanted to marvel at the weakness of my own divisions

[plucky sedge]

is there a way to shorten the decision timer?

[flat fjord]

Theres a focus you can do

Not at my pc so i cant show

[plucky sedge]

is it on the left side with all the china stuff?

[still loom]

Will they give alternatives or at least reduce the coal amount required as you get more factories?
Because the multiplier is insane. Even with lower economy

[deep solstice]

Okay so instead of doing iron-man veteran difficulty Austria

I think im just gonna

[still loom]

It's so absurd

[deep solstice]

do some regular non-iron man

Ive spent about 7 hours total trying to not lose to germany as austria

🥀

getting very sick of this shit 💔

[wheat copper]

bro

go outside

take a shower

[deep solstice]

7 hours between yesterday and today

if it was all today I think id have shot myself by now

[plucky sedge]

forts:

[deep solstice]

max forts in every tile along the border

[sharp sierra]

forts rts

[plucky sedge]

forts and anti air is your biggest friend

[heavy vigil]

oh thats the issue

make mils

[sharp sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/forts-gif-26997101

[plucky sedge]

only go level 7 anything above isnt worth the ic

[heavy vigil]

have weapons

[deep solstice]

35 military factories

[heavy vigil]

get all the buffs to your units from advisors

[deep solstice]

20K gun surplus

[sharp sierra]

level 1 fort is cool enough for me

[heavy vigil]

have AA

[errant plover]

NCNS has been kinda underwhelming for the £25

[deep solstice]

valid

[sinful cloud]

how do you know much more mils/civs you can build depending on coal?

[errant plover]

Disappointing

[deep solstice]

Im turning off iron man mode

I need to be able to focus more and reload when I make mistakes

[heavy vigil]

neat

[deep solstice]

its mostly been back to back mistakes that are costing me entire runs

also

new idea

Im gonna recycle every division from the countries I annex

and then spam out 48 divisions of infantry

[deep solstice]

am I a genius

[indigo elk]

Any idea why I have no civ factories to use for trade??

[heavy vigil]

convert them into your own template

easier to manage the logistics and wont be weird when reinforcing battles

[sudden thistle]

peak game btw

[sharp sierra]

i never played it but i would watch tons of it on youtube

this youtuber called incursus gaming i think

[north spoke]

they need to rework conditional surrender

you should be allowed to enter into peace deals without defeating every major

[sharp sierra]

they just took a steamer on their whole game theyre neving adding that

[north spoke]

true

[sharp sierra]

but yeah that would make the game a lot better

[sudden thistle]

its fun but gets boring after a while

[sharp sierra]

i was thinking about buying it but i saw some people say theres only veterans playing these days and new players get creamed

like war thunder

[north spoke]

war thunder is a hellhole

both veterans and rookies get demolished by the sheer ignorance of the company

[misty fossil]

yeah it works

[weary forge]

there is no experience as painful as a new DLC coming out and rendering all the state mods unplayable, forcing you to play on the dogshit vanilla map

[grizzled zenith]

Damn no matter what I do Germany pushes me, I'm Luxembourg, I've united the Benelux, I have lvl 4-5 forts behind rivers, my infantry includes tanks (9 inf, 1 medium tank with 14 armour and like 30 soft attack+support companies) and Germany still somehow pushes me, I have like 20 of tank inf divs and 20 of normal inf, I have no deficits and Germany still pushes me no matter what I do.

[grizzled zenith]

The only thing I don't have is air, but I have AA

[prisma saddle]

why they dont let me trade anymore?

oh nv,

nvm

[misty fossil]

how do i increase my naval invasion order limit? i can only make 2 rn

[random needle]

This may be the most fun I’ve had in a. While

Papacy Italy (the papal focus) I won in Ethiopia

im in a faction with Hungary fighting the Germans

Good navy

Good with the allies

Liberating Bulgaria front

[royal marten]

I think they broke the AI this update.

[glacial crag]

Naval invasion tech

[ornate marlin]

what are the most micro heavy countries excluding ussr and germany

[misty fossil]

nope doesnt give more cap

[brave steeple]

um what

first time trying update and i see this

[glacial crag]

Then u cant i guess

[misty fossil]

it gives division cap

[brave steeple]

tana tuva is even better to play as

[glacial crag]

What is the division cap at start?

[brave steeple]

100% historical

[misty fossil]

idk

10

[brave steeple]

depends on ur starting tech

[brave steeple]

if you dont have any of these techs you dont get any naval invasion ability

[rain loom]

ok hold on a minute

what the

[sudden thistle]

This is normal now

Idk why

But Tannu Tuva is goated

[rain loom]

eh

tannu tuva is life

[crystal marsh]

so apparently the new historical playthrough eventually grants vichy all of france assuming they survive 2 more years

why with calais though 💔

[wanton whale]

😭

What

[fickle thicket]

communist bulgaria in the axis 💔

[wanton whale]

I love it when your faction is carried by just you

All over mongolia btw

[stray root]

new dlc good?

[dry sable]

freude schöner götterfunken

[wanton whale]

It's peak

[stray root]

not scam?

k

[brave steeple]

???? i cant open the war menu

weird bug

[stray root]

womp womp

[sudden thistle]

Restart game

[wanton whale]

Holy

[crystal marsh]

welcome to hoi

also

did they update the wiki already

[zenith charm]

i hope germany will be thankful

[copper sluice]

I really have no idea what I did to deserve this

[autumn ether]

what country even are you

[dry sable]

Now you deserve to be nuked (twice)

[obsidian token]

I HAVE a question

If i buy the ultimate bundle do i get all future dlcs

[copper sluice]

japan

[autumn ether]

what did you possibly do

[copper sluice]

I was fighting china and then i declared war on siam

and then I was at war with Mitteleuropa

and when that war was over everyone declared war on me

[ornate marlin]

what are the most micro heavy countries excluding ussr and germany

[copper sluice]

sssr

[ornate marlin]

excluding ussr and germany

[copper sluice]

[wanton whale]

final major 🙏

[gaunt thorn]

DLC is so fun

I love managing my faction

[dusky burrow]

Well there goes Romania

[brave steeple]

???????

This isnt even a bug

just bad design

[royal marten]

thats over hyping it

[vernal river]

help i keep getting my ass kicked by china as japan

[royal marten]

Its okay, still too expensive.

The Faction rework is very bare bones and just feels like window dressing.

I really love the doctrine changes.

China is interesting.

[grand wolf]

Same bro same

[wanton whale]

It is good though

[grand wolf]

But soft attack divisions should help

[vernal river]

brother i am in 1937 japan

im still short on guns

[grand wolf]

Improve relations with other countries and buy some guns

[vernal river]

PP is low from all the other shit im doing early game

[grand wolf]

Also when doing historical or monarchy path you can do "ensure temporary peace with china" for some more time to prepare

[vernal river]

What's the point

They're building up divs

If anything I need to go to war with them faster I feel like

[fickle thicket]

no cuz ur gonna lose cuz of no gun

[vernal river]

but china also get more gun

more gun mean more divisions

[barren coyote]

Guys I still don't understand fuel 🙁

[vernal river]

more trash div spam

[vital trout]

guys

how i can get manpower i have 0 right now

[grand wolf]

Its an ai it wont build up as fast as you can

[barren coyote]

Coal*

[grand wolf]

Conscription

[vital trout]

ok but its still 0 i am traning units right now

[grand wolf]

Then raise it again

[vernal river]

cant break through

north is stalemate too

[heavy vigil]

june 1938

dont stall the war so long

[vernal river]

aaand that's what im talking about

[heavy vigil]

first 6 focuses

[vernal river]

i get told to sit back and buy guns + delay the war

[heavy vigil]

never do the crossed out focuses

[grand wolf]

Thats what we call a skill issue

[vernal river]

now im being told to go early

unkown silence

you gave me bad advice

[heavy vigil]

by who 😭

thats crazy

[grand wolf]

Never said sit back

[vernal river]

sit forward

then buy guns to make heavy soft attack divs

[heavy vigil]

meh

just get agency, spy advisor, xp guy

you can add line arty to the hohei shidan if you feel like you need more pushing power

[vernal river]

like im bad at the game but i remember it being far easier to kill china

[heavy vigil]

1 or 2 batallions

[heavy vigil]

its easier now than before

[vernal river]

also industry is a problem

[vernal river]

really

i used to be able to just have them hold up by beijing then encircle the whole NRA

[grand wolf]

I dont like how the basic infantry division for japan is 24 width

[vernal river]

this is what i have right before i go to war

[heavy vigil]

the warlords in and china combined start with a 100K gun deficit

china starts with 0 efficiency on their mils and a 30K fun deficit on its own

they are SO weak

[vernal river]

where do they get their hands on so many divs

even if they're undersupplied

[heavy vigil]

just standardize your units)

[tropic canopy]

I've never had to consolidate so many divisions before 😭

[heavy vigil]

keep the hohei shidan

[grand wolf]

Alright jun of 1937 and I got 600k men with no lack of guns

[heavy vigil]

keep the tanks if you want

make the rest just holding inf

[grand wolf]

They have alot of man power

[vernal river]

does AI force deploy

[heavy vigil]

use toshizo nishio as your main gen to push

[heavy vigil]

no guns

youll win

[grand wolf]

I just purchased 9k guns from everyone

[vernal river]

which one is that

can't find that one

[brave steeple]

china ai is still not smart

[vernal river]

should i just go straight for shanghai when the war starts, or shandong?

[silent root]

guys anyone know why this isn't launching?

[heavy vigil]

thats his name

[grand wolf]

Shandong

[ancient marsh]

pdx try to release a decent dlc that isnt overcharged to hell and back

[grand wolf]

You dont have naval superiority

[silent root]

am paradropping

[grand wolf]

Ohhhh I dont use those so idk

Is it an issue with air superiority

[deep solstice]

FINALLY

now I get all the core territory bonuses

damn that was hard 😭

[silent root]

nope I have grounded the airforce of the UK

[grand wolf]

How many attempts

[silent root]

How did germany not attack you?

[grand wolf]

Huh

[deep solstice]

lol

[grand wolf]

Good luck😂

[vernal river]

i think i just need to start the war even earlier

ts shit sucks

[heavy vigil]

general

not division

put your pushing divisions (hohei shidan, maybe the tank) under toshizo nishio

[silent root]

I have no clue bro

like I can't do anything

[heavy vigil]

and just push from the border

encircle stuff

[deep solstice]

IM GONNA RUSH GERMANY AND PRAY ❤️

[grand wolf]

Try deleting the plan and making it again

[deep solstice]

hopefully they forget a front or smth

[grand wolf]

Germany weak

The german economy is probably falling apart

[vague abyss]

guys so when I patrol and strike force and my strike force joins a battle from a spotting cruiser how can i see the spotting stats that were added to the battle

[fresh jay]

is there any way

to leave a faction?

like manually?

because like i tried prc and im kinda stuck

[sinful cloud]

democratic japan with civ decisions is mega op

[fresh jay]

like i have war goals against my fellow chinese states

but am still in a faction with them xd

[sinful cloud]

2 civs for 75 pp in 35 days, and you get a ton of pp

you can also do it in paralell with multiple countries

[grand wolf]

When in the faction tab its near the top

[fresh jay]

ah but we are fighting japan

so not allowed

haha

this is so stupid

but thanks i guess

[idle onyx]

can someone gift me a dlc

https://tenor.com/view/curry-ball-galaxy-basket-basketball-gif-17152221060007105459

[thorn sleet]

Play Darkest Hour Mod if you want peak Japan Experience.

(Historical)

[deep solstice]

YES

OH MY GOD YES

THE ALLIES MIGHT SAVE ME

IM SO SERIOUS

POLAND WHAT THE HELL

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED

POLAND YOU BASTARD

[grand wolf]

Thats so stupid why do they force ai nations into your faction

[golden jackal]

Paradox moment

[idle onyx]

why do yall like that as the germany flag the normal one looks better

[sudden wasp]

mods?

[brave steeple]

Huh....

[deep solstice]

Bc I dont care tbh

[grand wolf]

Because historical

[deep solstice]

I like the other flags in the mod

so idrc about the german one

[grand wolf]

Which mod is it?

[brave steeple]

epic map mod i asume

i asume

changes german flag but also a map mod

[idle onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-ishowspeed-ballon-d'or-ballon-d'or-shocked-ishowspeed-noway-gif-9357582452923318096

nahhh really?

[brave steeple]

wait no

it isnt

[grand wolf]

I got a mod that changes how things look

[wanton whale]

It's over

[brave steeple]

epic map mod changes map aswell

which hasnt been changed

jkust a flag mod

[grand wolf]

I like the TNO and vintage map mods

[brave steeple]

also delete this before a mod does

[grand wolf]

I wish the ocean in the TNO map mod was black

[drowsy ravine]

largest airforce: 2 😭

[opal nymph]

That's just plane crazy

[drowsy ravine]

slaps knee AH AH AH AH

[sinful cloud]

git gud

[brave steeple]

wrong ussr

why does this exist

[opal nymph]

The border could use adjusting

[brave steeple]

no i mean

why does the code

not let me

(i know why)

but why is the code like this

[drowsy ravine]

so like

[brave steeple]

why not the tags for both ussrs

[opal nymph]

Well in either case, I am going to go insane in my 1939 start date China game

[drowsy ravine]

why is the new DLC still not loaded into the pack :(

[brave steeple]

instead of the 'true'

[brave steeple]

what u mean

oh

the pack

expansion

[drowsy ravine]

the DLC pack

[lapis snow]

small indie studio pls understand

[drowsy ravine]

still no new DLC

i might just buy it atp

[brave steeple]

i hate how factiosn isnt in base game tbh

not gonna buy dlc tho

[drowsy ravine]

yeah thats kindah stupid

[copper sluice]

is there a disadvantage to fusing all of these into 1?

[brave steeple]

might buy kindom of rizia dlc in suzerain

[drowsy ravine]

are there subs

it makes all of them go as fast as the slowest ship

[brave steeple]

thing i hate about hoi4 is how expensive the dlcs are and how little content they bring tbh

[drowsy ravine]

thats abt all i know abt it

[brave steeple]

this update is good

but the dlc itself is also just overpriced

eh well

time to get suzerain dlc

its a good update ruined by the faction update not being added

rly good idea to win war

ignore all strategy

march

[deep solstice]

im finna js give germany the sudetenland fr ✌️

[heavy vigil]

@lapis snow they fixed reinforce memeing

[brave steeple]

are you kididn gme

[lapis snow]

que?!

[brave steeple]

they now have 0% capitulation

[heavy vigil]

its fixed

[lapis snow]

how

[heavy vigil]

not on all units tbf

but i will say

you can get 100% reinforce rate

[lapis snow]

ohhhh the irregulars doctrines right

[heavy vigil]

no

[grand wolf]

Do you not build forts or get stronghold networks?

[deep solstice]

I have 56 divisions

they have 120

I aint winning so why fight it fr

[grand wolf]

No you can win

[deep solstice]

you literally cant

austria has worse guns

and less men

unless you just go crazy somehow with industry

[grand wolf]

You dont need more men to win, you can also get better guns

[deep solstice]

its only may 1939

[grand wolf]

What path did you do?

[deep solstice]

the wrong one 🥀

my friend told me now

[grand wolf]

Ima try it

[deep solstice]

he said between the two

this is the much harder path

go ahead tho

give it a try

iron-man, regular difficulty

I actually wish you luck

[grand wolf]

Im in regular im just gonna keep it off iron man since I got mods on

Also you could buy guns from other nations

[brave steeple]

I WAS THIS CLOSE

THIS CLOSE

[ornate jewel]

is the dlc worth the price

[mild yarrow]

when new dlc?

[past pasture]

is this useful ?

[grand wolf]

Very

[opal nymph]

Holy smokes, we are turning the tide

[past pasture]

in what case ?

[deep solstice]

its the manpower

and its honestly just

the numbers

[grand wolf]

Offensive tank divisions

[lapis snow]

assault engineer support company

[brave steeple]

no tbh
however i havent bought it

[deep solstice]

like its very hard to sustain over 50 divisions

cause you gotta remember

[past pasture]

ok

[brave steeple]

its very expensive tho tbh

[deep solstice]

your a pea sized nation until late 1937

[grand wolf]

If I can hold a bit as Belgium I should be good

[brave steeple]

for pdx its mid

for non pdx

horrid

[deep solstice]

best of luck

ima hop on multiplayer

[brave steeple]

i have seen good map game dlcs

[deep solstice]

and play with my buddy as germany

[sinful cloud]

does anyone else feel like there's much less hype about this dlc than last year?

[brave steeple]

i know very good map game dlcs

[deep solstice]

so I can be supa austria 🔥

[marble igloo]

How do you disband a faction in the new update?

[grand wolf]

What were you doing first? Economy, military, or political?

[sinful cloud]

barely anyone's posting on reddit, no videos on youtube like it was last year

[copper sluice]

guys which ones do you take here?

[deep solstice]

your choice

its a mix

[grand wolf]

Ima just spam economy rn😂

[deep solstice]

just do all the focuses i did and see what works

[sinful cloud]

i usually take yasuda for the -20 consumer goods

[deep solstice]

best of luck...

[copper sluice]

yea but sumitomo gives u more research buffs and the stats arent bad either

[grand wolf]

1942 for one military factory😭😭

[sinful cloud]

irc there's plenty of research buffs elsewhere in the tree, not so much with the consumer goods

[lapis snow]

Germany was the main character in GD so it got a lot of buzz. Asian hoi4 communities might be different

[deep solstice]

this is the ONLY route ive had that actually worked

literally one wrong move

and by 1939 ur getting fried

and btw, since your trying to fight germany

[copper sluice]

ok but u get down to like 15% consumer goods anyway, 20% barely makes a difference then

[deep solstice]

once you take czechoslavakia

[grand wolf]

Economy go brrrrttttt

[deep solstice]

make sure to deny it from them

[deep solstice]

real

[grand wolf]

I need czechoslovakia to make those yummy forts

[copper sluice]

does resource gain efficiency just increase the amount of resources of ur states?

[sinful cloud]

there's a few focuses down the tree which buff the factor again, and you might need to go up an economy law because of coal. it depends really. in my playthrough the -20 was a really godo bonus

[deep solstice]

I think austria really is the hardest nation

[copper sluice]

eveeryone wants to kill ur ass

[lapis snow]

yes, so does infra and having a supply hub/port in that state

[brave steeple]

yes yes yes they were 10 days from independence

china is torture but not because they are hard

[copper sluice]

and what does factory output do?

[deep solstice]

slows down all factory types

so -10%

[brave steeple]

more factory output if 10%

[sinful cloud]

increase the number of equipment you produce

[copper sluice]

it takes me until 1940 to kill them but im bad so

[deep solstice]

means -10% building speed, and -10% military factory output

[nocturne cedar]

Is this a good encirclement?

[copper sluice]

and production efficiency?

[grand wolf]

You should've gone all the way down industrialization efforts

[deep solstice]

I trust you

Im very interested to see how this goes... 👀

[copper sluice]

honestly maybe Mitsui is the better choice

[grand wolf]

Maybe I can get Italian support if I take my claims off old Austrian Hungary lands

[deep solstice]

Italy will backstab you no matter what btw

lol

[grand wolf]

Oh, well they suck

[deep solstice]

yeah italy is an annoyance

they always are

[quartz valley]

with a friend we encircle +100 soviet division

[crystal marsh]

i love the new japan

[deep solstice]

just, if you actually want a chance at success

rush your expansion focuses

or industry (maybe)

[tacit helm]

italy does bad things to my butthole when i ask then to not do anything to me if i remove my claims

[deep solstice]

repost

[sinful cloud]

how did you get axis to help you out there? mine were useless

[steep trail]

My favorite bug from the new update so far

[grand wolf]

Im doing economy for all of 1936 rn if I cant do more economy ill do military

[steep trail]

Imagine living in a country called 4x jet engine

[deep solstice]

you got this buddy

[crystal marsh]

axis didnt do shit btw

[quartz valley]

in my game Italy is cooking africa, asia ( ai )

[crystal marsh]

i capped usa, ussr and britain

[crystal marsh]

in this order btw

[sinful cloud]

did you play historically or cheesed capping uk?

what year is it

[crystal marsh]

feb 49

[tacit helm]

what im hearing is that theyre cooking dudes with swords and shields

[sinful cloud]

yeah seems about right, took me a while as well to get going

[grand wolf]

How early did you get off of civilian economy?

[brave steeple]

oh wow

[deep solstice]

First thing I did

its almost mandatory if you want anything built

[quartz valley]

they protect their coast, conquest almost full africa, iraq turkey and all by their own

[crystal marsh]

under what path do you go buddhist as japan

[grand wolf]

Alright good

[hazy cave]

How do I go monarchist as a warlord?

[sinful cloud]

i think it's the middle one

was just about to start it

but didn't wanna read the wiki yet or spoil it for myself

not sure though

[grand wolf]

Im restarting, this time ima cover for the phoenix thing

[deep solstice]

I didnt

[crystal marsh]

chat

rate profile

[grand wolf]

You'll get more man power if you do

[still loom]

So

[copper sluice]

I think japan needs more dams

[still loom]

Why are space marines called space marines?

Why this name?

[grand wolf]

Way more

[copper sluice]

am I the only one who thinks theorists are useless now?

arent doctrines just a lot cheaper now

[drowsy ravine]

because space marines are basically infantry with hella armor and thats what the divisions do by adding an ultra-armored tank

[still loom]

No I know how it works

I'm talking about the name

[drowsy ravine]

yeqah

thats why

[still loom]

Okay I asked the wrong way

What's a space marine?

Forget about hoi4

Where does this term come from

[drowsy ravine]

im not very versed in 40K so this is probobly wrong but

a space marine is a very skilled very strong soldier with heavy armor protecting them from many if not all attacks (idk this is just what ive picked up)

[uncut ocean]

they’re like marines but in space

[dusky scroll]

how do i even get more range this patch

[still loom]

Warhammer 40k?

[drowsy ravine]

yes

[dusky scroll]

i built naval supply hub on one of my islands and thats still not enough

[drowsy ravine]

they are from warhammer 40k

build ships with more range

[still loom]

I've heard that game but only know the dude who looks like Doom Guy with...

Paladin armour

Ah

[dusky scroll]

its gonna take 50 years

[drowsy ravine]

theres probobly a 40K nerd somewhere in this server

[grand wolf]

@deep solstice how many civs did you have in January of 1937?

[drowsy ravine]

too damn bad

idk what else to say

[deep solstice]

probably like 30

lol idrk

building stuff i had 9 though

[copper sluice]

does this ever not result in war

[grand wolf]

I have 15 building things with a total of 19

[deep solstice]

nice

it probably wasnt 30 then

[grand wolf]

I sent 9 off to get some guns

[torpid skiff]

Naval invasion capacity CANT be icnreased by anything

[still loom]

Space marines. Marines with armour I see.
Will Paradox ever fix that? Or at least introduce something like: If the majority of units are infantry you benefit from the armour less or not at all

[torpid skiff]

it is a bug

stuck to 1 order and 4 divsions

doctrines, tech and spirits dont increase naval capacity

[grand wolf]

For naval invasions?

[torpid skiff]

yes

[heavy vigil]

its always war

[still loom]

Umm

We also reduce org by 50%?

[grand wolf]

Theres tech that does

[still loom]

I didn't know that

[torpid skiff]

it doesnt work, i tell ya

[grand wolf]

It does

[still loom]

If it exists, why not use it lol
Alright from now on I'm adding one tank or at least armoured recon to my infantry

[torpid skiff]

this one?

[grand wolf]

Yeah

Look at the navy officer corps

[grand wolf]

Your game is bugged then cause it works perfectly fine for me

[torpid skiff]

noted

[grand wolf]

Try reloading the game

[brave steeple]

OH WAIT ITS MIDNIGHT ...

[lapis snow]

it's actually 9am

[brave steeple]

no

waitr what

[lapis snow]

timezones exist

[brave steeple]

no its the fact

my name is s...

i have obs open

why do i even have obs open

[lapis snow]

no longer sporty I guess

[oak mantle]

How do tactics work?

[oak mantle]

No they dont

[torpid skiff]

the hell you mean Country -75%???

invading germany from france, How can they reduce my attack my 75%???

[grand wolf]

Yes

[misty fossil]

That description is silly

[oak mantle]

U prolly have a busted national spirit or smth

[torpid skiff]

OH NOTED

[grand wolf]

I thought the usa and the allies wanted to keep peace

[torpid skiff]

mutinees

i forgot

about the mutinees

[sinful cloud]

was this changed? where is it from

[grand wolf]

Ah yes the economy has been fixed

[cyan arrow]

What does this even mean

😭🙏

[humble spruce]

its telling u that a country called “rally for congolese democracy” took 6 states and puppeted a country called congo dr

[oak mantle]

Does the defend -60% mean like -60% less defense and the attack is -70% attack?

[cyan arrow]

No shi-

But

3 Democratic Congos

[deep solstice]

so how'd it go?

[cyan arrow]

????

[grand wolf]

Its going good so far

[humble spruce]

idk how to explain it but js focus on the colors lowk green is good red is bad

nevermind

i dont know

[oak mantle]

I mean how would the attack one work

[humble spruce]

youre defo past 1945

[oak mantle]

It could be good or bad depending on whether or not ur attacking or defending

So it wouldnt really be green

[cyan arrow]

Its Millennium dawn-

[marble igloo]

As japan i sent volunteers to ethiopia, then they capitulated, but my volunteers have not been sent back. I am now at war with china, they have not been sent back. How do i get my troops back?

[oak mantle]

Unless they make tactics based on a defensive outlook

Which if they do then that makes sense

[humble spruce]

check if italy is at war with ethiopian exile goverment

[humble spruce]

nah they do for both

is that a defensive or offensive tactic thats what u gotta check

[oak mantle]

Oh

Wait nvm

They make attack green no matter what

If its - or +

[humble spruce]

rt56 supremacy

[oak mantle]

So it must just be -70% attack

And -60% defense

And -50% combat width obviously

[humble spruce]

yeah but -70% attack is somehow positive

[oak mantle]

The tactic effects the battle for everyone involved not just urself

It effects the enemy as well

So if u rdefending and the enemy gets -70% attack its a good thing

[hybrid galleon]

i love needing supremacy because my invasion goes two inches into the florida coast

[umbral agate]

i got a battle ship in my mountaineers

[copper sluice]

how do I get military factories faster xd

[ancient marsh]

higher production growth and efficiency

[lapis snow]

💀 no way
been ages since I've seen this bug

[ancient marsh]

see the green and red bar

your guns have relatively low production eff

while your arty is currently at the highest possible

[copper sluice]

yea and how do I fix that

[ancient marsh]

if you just want more mils build them lol

[ancient marsh]

tech

focuses

[hybrid galleon]

how

[ancient marsh]

national spirits

time that passes

[copper sluice]

well yea I am on it but its going slowly

[umbral agate]

idk

[ancient marsh]

itll gradually go up

[hybrid galleon]

either convert civies or keep pumping those military factories out

[hybrid galleon]

pretty fire though

[ancient marsh]

dont convert civs to mils there

u probably only have like 40 civs at most

actually those are 39 guns so idk

[still loom]

I think space marine templates can be interpreted to something like this

Which makes sense

But not fully realistic though because the tank value isn't enough to cover... uh 60 tanks for 1000 dudes?

[copper sluice]

what an IDIOT

now the war is basically won

how do I get the ranger support company?

ah nvm

[crystal marsh]

IT HAPPENED

[oak mantle]

Is 10 combat width good

[crystal marsh]

depends on the terrain

[grand wolf]

No

[oak mantle]

How not?

Does it not fit into literally every terrain

[still loom]

I was wrong. That's an almost 1:7 ratio. 17 infantry per 60 tanks.

Make it heavy now and you'll get 25 dudes per 40 tanks

[grand wolf]

So does a 16 combat width

[still loom]

That's actually cool and useful

[fresh jay]

is it normal that troops of allies and enemies fight each other in your land

[oak mantle]

Not without a decimal

[fresh jay]

even though you are not at war with them?

and they fight forever like none can beat the other

[quasi shoal]

why does japan just get total mobi but without the manpower nerf

[unique geyser]

what is the meta for germany rn?

imma try to go for roman empire

[subtle heron]

historical germany tbh

[blissful grail]

For the usa tree is it worth getting the 20% recruitment factor?

[unique geyser]

todt or hess first?

both construction speed and political power sound good

but which one first

...

if i had to choose i would say todt

but it might be slightly worse as well since with political power i can do the government

[subtle heron]

Todt (but switch to speer when given a choice)

[copper sluice]

did they like increase the need for fuel with the patch

[subtle heron]

in early game

[signal radish]

Is there a server tag for ts server

[cerulean obsidian]

Hi my name is Joe. I’ll be your server

[subtle heron]

1 Todt (but switch to Speer when given a choice)
2 Hess
3 Goebbles
4 Himmler (drop Goebbles after he's completed his capstone)

[unique geyser]

left or right? i always go left since i dont believe in myself to win early

[cerulean obsidian]

You go right and not do conquest economics

[subtle heron]

I only tried the Four Year Plan historical path. tbh

[unique geyser]

yea ill go left

[tulip thorn]

They are both good

[subtle heron]

with autarky you lose all debuffs and get more buffs soo

[tulip thorn]

Peg is better late game though

[misty fossil]

How do i get enough range to invade the us as japan?

[unique geyser]

submarines, secure sealine towards america

[tulip thorn]

Im still trying to figure that one out myself lol

[unique geyser]

use that line to get troops there

[subtle heron]

I still don't know how to do naval invasions xdd

[misty fossil]

real

[tulip thorn]

I have a japan game where im stuck not being able to finish the war

[cerulean obsidian]

Even with recovering economy if you are taking over a lot of territory you will have so many factories it doesn’t matter

[tulip thorn]

I got all of asia and Oceania but cant end the war

[subtle heron]

like 1k on hoi4 and and I still don't know how to do naval invasions

[tulip thorn]

I've had to relearn all that

[unique geyser]

wtf is this?

[rugged nova]

something sort of cool

[unique geyser]

armor!!

[bright forum]

Wait...but what if I want to?

[subtle heron]

I don't make the effort to learn, it's too tedious.

[bright forum]

Yeah why can't I accept the Ethiopian exile government?

[tulip thorn]

New doctrines

ITs so op

[tulip thorn]

Not really

[signal radish]

why doesn’t subscription give the new dlc

[subtle heron]

the faction window its peak

[misty fossil]

new doctrine tree

very fun

[subtle heron]

The best part of the DLC

[misty fossil]

just make sure to read the tooltip

[bright forum]

It just happened again, why can't I accept their request? I wanna let Ethiopia chill out here.

[tulip thorn]

The best part is 100% the doctrines

They are soo good

[subtle heron]

Do you think so? I haven't played the DLC yet, but I will soon.

[tulip thorn]

Yeah the doctrines are so peak and amazing

[misty fossil]

thats wonderful

[subtle heron]

I saw the focus trees from China, Japan, and the Philippines. They look decent.

[spare dirge]

apparently the faction system ISNT FIXED YEEES

idk how but china just unpuppet itself randomly and join the allies....

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-doakes-squint-stare-suspicious-gif-14432154109786838518

me watching paradox

[tulip thorn]

Like really, there should be a peace out if the american navy is gone, and you control all of asia

[misty fossil]

france detected

[subtle heron]

i mean the dlc dropped yesterday

[misty fossil]

have you tried replenishment

[spare dirge]

Oui 🥖

[tulip thorn]

?

[ripe slate]

Im guessing they did some pro-Allies focus that was missing a puppet check

[tulip thorn]

That one special project that uses so much convoys

[spare dirge]

i mean it destroy my game because now i need to RESTART the chinese war and fight against the allies and destroyed my plan to invade USSR and my economy but that's ok i guess

[ripe slate]

Id just use cheats to fix what bugged

[spare dirge]

kinda interesting

how to annex a country ?

[ripe slate]

console command is annex

and then the country tag

Or you could use my cheat mod

[tulip thorn]

The humble toolpack:

Literally cant go without it

[subtle heron]

I didn't say it was good, but you know how the game's AI works, haha, sometimes they go crazy.

[tulip thorn]

About to have nukes

in early 44

Im about to prank germany and japan so hard

[shell storm]

what are fun country to play?

[spare dirge]

[spare dirge]

[half onyx]

Italy just got half of Burma for some reason...

[subtle heron]

chili

The slowest gameplay I've ever seen

[spare dirge]

bouthan time ?

[ripe slate]

not possible but you could load mods

[true needle]

any nations that start with no navy but can build a really large navy very quickly?

[subtle heron]

It depends on the path you choose for me, the only good path is fascism and imperialism.

[true needle]

I want to humble the UK

[subtle heron]

They're fun and a little faster.

[spare dirge]

italy ? i mean, is that a navy ?

[unique geyser]

should i get this?

sounds good

[true needle]

I wish to build SHBBs

just one or two, but ill only need one or two

[shell storm]

what mod is that?

[spare dirge]

click on eat and check each steap

[unique geyser]

[tulip thorn]

Its been awhile since i've seen the ussr and germany have casualties like this

[unique geyser]

[true needle]

[subtle heron]

how do you organize your military divisions? I'm still looking for a good template

[deep solstice]

I said it wouldnt be easy

[stray salmon]

One down 🙂

[deep solstice]

hey this was YOUR choice 😭

[spare dirge]

16 width defense
24 with attack (7 inf, 2 arty)

[copper sluice]

that was an extremely lackluster explanation but it helped me so ty

[grand wolf]

I got the ability to make units as soon as they declared there was nothing I could do

[deep solstice]

real

[misty fossil]

finnmark?

never knew its chinese territory

[grand wolf]

This time im getting that ability earlier

[spare dirge]

i know, even in my language, people have difficulties to understand what i wanna mean lmao

[subtle heron]

late game?

[spare dirge]

no ?

i mean

could be

[copper sluice]

I successfully secured filipino independance

now the path is paved for me to annex them instead

[spare dirge]

who's filipino

:stare:

[subtle heron]

Thank you, good Samaritan.

[spare dirge]

Samaritan?

[copper sluice]

dude WHAT

because my chinese enemies invited america to their faction, they all got their country back when america ended the war

there is no way thats intentional

[uncut carbon]

dont bring up samaritans here that stuff goes south really quick

[ancient marsh]

invading china rn is way more of a pain in the ass with naval invasions getting nerfed

[copper sluice]

and now my entire army is landlocked behind all of the chinese

[wicked plover]

imagine paying for a dlc rework of another dlc(waking the tiger)

[deep solstice]

look at my big fat austria

[copper sluice]

so do I just disband all of them?

[deep solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/rdc-mark-mark-phillips-youngboy-skit-gif-2755510000585805666

[grand wolf]

So cool, how did you get to that point germany keeps tryna anschluss me

[tulip thorn]

Lmao nukes

[deep solstice]

I told you it wouldnt be easy

austria is the hardest nation IN THE GAME in my opinion

well first

try to get the central powers up before 1938

bc it prevents ancshluss

[grand wolf]

Nah Luxembourg

[deep solstice]

then focus on rapid expansion

damn ur right

[sudden thistle]

[sudden thistle]

||sea of irradiated Cobalt||

[tulip thorn]

Exactly

[deep solstice]

try to form ALL of the austro-hungarian empire before 1939

[signal radish]

Join or make

[grand wolf]

Very good to know now

[deep solstice]

I shouldve proclaimed the austrian empire

damnit

[grand wolf]

Does it go above very likely when annexing our neighbors?

[quasi shoal]

that alone made italy the top causualties against the uk

[deep solstice]

Not necessary to go above that tbh

although it might

Ive never failed even on uncertain though most of the time

[grand wolf]

Alr ima just annex them

[unique geyser]

[tulip thorn]

Well, nuclear MacArthur

[unique geyser]

i really like the +10% civ build speed

[grand wolf]

Mass assault Austria

[deep solstice]

I might declare on germany rq

just to see how THIS would go down.

italy would save em

ye I wont do that

[grand wolf]

I might do a Switzerland run after this

[deep solstice]

REAL

I was gonna do a switzerland run too

I figured id try out all the tiny nations

why does luxembourg even exist

real question

[grand wolf]

Switzerland is fun and very op manpower wise

[deep solstice]

oh absolutely

[grand wolf]

Especially with the helicopter medivac

[tepid crown]

Yes

[deep solstice]

axis has me encircled....

hmm....

Cant go to war with em now

thats for sure

germany has literally no divisions on my border

what would they logically do to stop me

WHO would stop me?

romania borders bulgaria

if i even slightly support them

thats romania

I ATE half of them anyways

italy sits there

with their shitty army

and then its just me and berlin boy

[tepid crown]

I’d probably delete this, they won’t like this screenshot

[uncut carbon]

yes

delete that

if casey sees

we're all done

Is there a way to instantly change autonomy in HOI4 without the cooldown

Using console commands to make a 2025-era map from base HOI4

[grand wolf]

I am now invading poland

[coral gorge]

what cooldown?

well you can set autonomy directly

eval_effect TAG = { set_autonomy = { target = TAG autonomy_state = autonomy_state_name

[chilly cipher]

I did the command what do I have to do next

[deep solstice]

german air power scares me

this is my only way to keep them out

trust me

there is 0 german divisions on my border

they trust me WAY too much 😭

[chilly cipher]

set_autonomy RAJ free?

[deep solstice]
