Because people didn't like Stalin, they removed him from city names too.
Otherwise they wouldn't have fought him in the civil war.

how do you have 4000 submarines-

1000 light cruisers and 4000 submarines.

[signal oracle]

I DONT KNOWW

[round jetty]

and why are they in your surface fleet

[signal oracle]

THEY'RE JUST THERE

I don't know how to use Navy

[round jetty]

what year

[signal oracle]

45

[round jetty]

ok

[signal oracle]

I'm well into the game

[round jetty]

just put the submarines in a different fleet

put some of the light cruisers and/or into a third fleet for spotting

[round jetty]

and put the rest of your fleet into 1 or 2 task forces for strike force

i dont think theres a combat width equivalent for navy so you can just make really big task forces with no penalty

[signal oracle]

The subs are useless, range of bedroom to kitchen

[round jetty]

can you send an image

i think those are midget subs

💀

[neat kayak]

man i couldn't enjoy a single country

like i did in GGR

[round jetty]

those submarines are putting up prime lebron numbers

Nope. normal subs

[round jetty]

52 battleships sunk is crazy

[boreal crest]

im new to mp boys i was just wondering if what i experienced is normal

joined mp1 full of kids screaming down the mic and not starting the game

waited 40 mins and theres still no game

[signal oracle]

Thats just a random battle, I stack wiped the entire German, Italian and Hungarian fleet in one battle, 300 battleships and thousands of random ships

[boreal crest]

and theyre all screaming mics in their mouth

is this deadass mp

[round jetty]

i swear those numbers sound like 1970s

or you had instantconstruction on for ages

[ocean obsidian]

We might be cooked

[round jetty]

crazy how many cheap terrible ships the ai can pump out

[signal oracle]

what's instant construction?

[round jetty]

console command that makes construction and ship lines build instantly

[signal oracle]

Ah, no

I just have hundreds of dockyards

[round jetty]

i wonder how well my battleships will do against the ai

[signal oracle]

I had them on subs for like 3 years, only like 70-80 dockyards and then another maybe 6 years of 200 or so on Light Cruisers

[round jetty]

they have really high armour, soft attack and hard attack

[signal oracle]

Is it a good idea to have a training division, and if so can i have a template

"Just get a military advisor" no pp

"Send vols" playing as usa rn

[round jetty]

oh i see why you have no political power now

[violet veldt]

im bored and i wanna see if navy is good, but sometimes i suck with the navy and i just forget it exists

also i wanna ask for marine templates too 🙏

I'D LET THE WORLD BURRNNNNNN

[sudden thistle]

they have other problems bro

[violet veldt]

also is it better to like

[violet veldt]

is it better to get dwight d eisenhower as head of military and not do london naval conferrence

are those light batteries?

but too expensive

[signal oracle]

Lmao

[sudden thistle]

replace 2 of the batteries with secondary batteries

[serene inlet]

idk im communist germany i think its getting a little late and since the navy rework i have to engage with the royal navy

[sudden thistle]

and get the cheapest armour possible

[craggy trail]

Comes with a nice group of close advisors too

[simple citrus]

not bad

replace anti-tank with sup artillery

[serene inlet]

defensive or offensive

[craggy trail]

Looks good for defensive

[warm otter]

mixed

[craggy trail]

I would add an extra infantry battallion for 20 width

If you are going for more offensive infantry, you should use 30 width special forces

[errant plover]

what are the exact requirments of this achievment? last time I did it and didnt get achievment even tho I didnt expand beyon said state and flipped more than 5 states to me

[serene inlet]

communist germany is actually broken PEG + left path 500 factories in 41 whitout harsh quotas

[warm otter]

mountaineers?

[craggy trail]

Mountaineers, Rangers, Marines

Typically Marines

[signal oracle]

Holy Meat grinder

[craggy trail]

But if you want mountain and hill bonuses, then mountaineers

[grand wolf]

Very pp consuming though

[serene inlet]

true but like i feel like it wasnt even a problem this game

[warm otter]

of course, the defense and offense are mountains

[grand wolf]

Non his Germany is always fun

[serene inlet]

conquered europe whitout much resistance with this

[stone swallow]

Hello guys, what is the shortest and easiest way to learn the hoi4 game? Thanks

[serene inlet]

USA is next when i get britain

[warm otter]

should i have an army full of spec forces

[signal oracle]

Remove I think its 6inf and 2 artillery and it’s better

[serene inlet]

hell no

why would i do that

[craggy trail]

As much as your special forces cap allows it

[signal oracle]

20w, much better for me, maybe not for you though

[serene inlet]

20w?? for offense?

[signal oracle]

380 damage

Soft

[serene inlet]

20 width 😭

[signal oracle]

I only have a few dozen hours so maybe I am wrong. Why is higher width better for offensive

[warm otter]

wanna replace the mechanized with med. tanks

[opal nymph]

More breakthrough

[serene inlet]

36 is ideal for offense

[opal nymph]

More stats

[signal oracle]

Ah, thanks

[serene inlet]

you just get more stats and you fill the terrain better

[opal nymph]

Less losses

[signal oracle]

I will try

[signal oracle]

I did 1.2 million to 25 million

[opal nymph]

16 and 18 widths are good for defense

[still loom]

Canon event

[signal oracle]

Should have done every single city except the 2

[opal nymph]

I took less than 100k casualties against Japan and Germany and I took out quite a bit

[serene inlet]

should i stop building because of coal

i can't build anything anymore

my industry is already gigantic

i don't have much use of it

[opal nymph]

I guess you can build infrastructure for more resources and in your allies as well

[grand wolf]

Ah I love a competent italy

[signal oracle]

Damn, I need to lock in.

they changed the way supremacy is calculated

[stone swallow]

Yeah I'm already trying that

[serene inlet]

cuz i get supremacy only with 36 fleet + light cruisers against us and british navy

Can an experienced britan player here help me? I'm practicing historical britan. Sometimes i get a free Hurricane (basic small airframe) fighter tamplate for free, and sometimes i don't. It's quite important, as in 1937-38 you don't have any air xp to design your own figter template, which means i'm unable to start a production line on said fighters. I assume one of the focuses give me the template, and i don't know which one exactly.

[gray delta]

hi guys
new guy here ( just bougth the game)
this game seems pretty complex

any good tutorials out there for a newbie?

Why would they post a invalid tutorial as they release an update

It's up to date, they got new navy

[grizzled yarrow]

I finally got the new dlc

[viscid stirrup]

waste of money

[round jetty]

im mass producing fighters with 87 air attack now

[fierce mortar]

No focus gives any template directly, yet i see pop up ship, tank, and plane templates out of blue. Maybe it's not a focus, maybe it's a research. i don't know that's the point. i want to know what triggers them

[viscid stirrup]

shouldve waited until the summer sale of 2029

[opal nymph]

You should get it on sale

[viscid stirrup]

sometimes researches give template

like mountainers

[grand wolf]

Blue bar in the faction tab has to be at 100%

[round jetty]

i joined world war 2 8 years late and i already have more kills on germany than the uk

[craggy trail]

Your faction's manifest is this bar

[grand wolf]

I had to kill germany as italy so its me vs the allies rn im not at war yet but I will be once I got my 48 space marines on the french border

[magic tree]

when does japan surrender now? do i need to kick them out of IC?

[grand wolf]

How many nav bombers is too many nav bombers?

[lone sail]

Omg invading china is so hard

[snow rain]

when you can't field them in your airports

[lone sail]

I should have never swapped off very easy difficulty

[round jetty]

i have a billion core population

[grand wolf]

Ima just make a million

The royal navy will be destroyed

[round jetty]

it doesnt activate sometimes

they still havent fixed that bug

[magic tree]

https://tenor.com/view/itsover-wojack-gif-4367840179675491690

[round jetty]

you can try paradropping them

thats what i did as the northeastern army and it worked like a charm

[magic tree]

im playing mao

[round jetty]

do the civil war

[magic tree]

can i do that without defeating japan?

[round jetty]

yes but you might still need some port guards

china also does a good job at protecting the coast after japan is kicked out even when in another war

[magic tree]

alr

[cerulean orchid]

is it js me or is the japanese civil war lowkey hard

[warm otter]

fighting the allies

[grand wolf]

The lack of pp makes it hard

[grand wolf]

Fellow Italian player

[round jetty]

each of my armies have 2000 cas and 2000 fighters attached to them

and its absolutely wrecking the germans

my entire frontline is uncontested because i shot down most of their planes

i also just shot down erich hartmann

[grand wolf]

I got like 2.4k fighters rn

[round jetty]

there isnt enough air bases in the entire soviet union for my airforce

[grand wolf]

I got 133 subs in my main fleet😭😭

[cosmic stirrup]

whats a good inf template youd reccomend for manchuko?

[grand wolf]

Depends what ur gonna do

[copper sluice]

never seen one with 4 starting traits wtf

[spare laurel]

WTF is this?!

[cosmic stirrup]

historical and not eat shit as a noob in a multiplayer game

something easy but still viable would be best

[grand wolf]

You could do a basic 30 width offensive infantry template to help japan easily invade china

[cosmic stirrup]

how would that look like?

[grand wolf]

It doesn't require the engineer support company

[cosmic stirrup]

i was told arty sucks on inf

[agile trellis]

Did hey release the new dlc

They

[grand wolf]

Its been working for me alot

[agile trellis]

Can any1 confirm plz

[grand wolf]

Yeah

[agile trellis]

[agile trellis]

How much

Thx for ur answer as well

[grand wolf]

When fighting china its good since they use all infantry and since alot of them wont have guns

[grand wolf]

I got no clue how much it is

[cosmic stirrup]

its good to not put arty in defensive templates right?

[grand wolf]

Yeah

I got a 17 width defensive template with 9 infantry battalions and 1 heavy tank destroyer

[green plume]

for germany Mobile Warfare or GBP

[grand wolf]

I use gbp

[green plume]

i still wanna know, yare naval bombers worth it in multiplayer as germany

or cruiser bombers idk

whatever annihilated cruisers

[warm otter]

If Germany can do the miracle moving around the Maginot Line, then I'm saved

[green plume]

annihilates*

[warm otter]

Germany help me in naval

[random venture]

bruh

i stll cant even play hoi4

shit update

[green plume]

y

wuts wrong with it

[random venture]

freezes and i cant do anything when it loads to main menu

old versions work

[green plume]

it do be doing that

js dont run mods

[random venture]

wow

i deleted all my mods

[green plume]

wait a few days till mods

[random venture]

btw

all my saves

[green plume]

hm

[random venture]

why

ii dont use mods

[green plume]

cs theyre not all updated if ur using em

[random venture]

i dont use em

and its still broken

[green plume]

thats butt

[grizzled yarrow]

yall how do i beat japan as china

[cerulean orchid]

it literally took me until 1939 to win

and thats mostly bc for some reason i had like -30k guns at the start

[grand wolf]

At least you won

[cerulean orchid]

im suprised i did

the main hard part was they deathstacked near osaka and kept spamming last stand and it took them forever to run out of equipment and thats when i won

[random venture]

omagad i fixed it i turned the cloud save thing off in settings

[cerulean orchid]

js the shape of japan makes it hard i think

it lets the ai easily defend the like 2 tile wide front

[grand wolf]

Whats the point of having forts if the enemy goes around them?

[grand wolf]

Southern france is getting destroyed by my defensive infantry💀

[copper sluice]

britain moment

[grand wolf]

And im destroying the royal navy????

[random venture]

aw hell nah the trade menu got plastic surgery

[unreal patio]

I feel like the doctrine rework leaves an opening for an utterly ridiculous SPG build somewhere

with all the stuff I see that just hands out random ass bonuses to self propelled artillery

[grand wolf]

I got Gibraltar

[oak mantle]

What do u guys think the best infantry doctrine is for france

[grand wolf]

Its gonna depend on what you wanna do

[oak mantle]

Defend with inf push with tank

[sudden thistle]

What 2tile wide front is there 😭

[oak mantle]

Should i apply to mcdonalds or should i remain unemployed

[heavy vigil]

a job is good to spend your days usefully

[oak mantle]

Naa

Games are better

[grand wolf]

Use grand battle plan then

[oak mantle]

Which sub doctrine

Nvm

[prisma gazelle]

question

[grand wolf]

I got large unit tactics which I find very op

Self propelled support

[sharp sierra]

so hows it mulling over with the new dlc

[prisma gazelle]

will peace in our time, and the other pack squedue to launch next year, break any mods?

[grand wolf]

Armored spear head, Armored infantry support or tank destroyer force

[still loom]

Soon invading soviets

[grand wolf]

And any operation you want

[ripe slate]

As a PfoT dev, I believe we cannot share that detailed info on that yet, but you can make a pretty good estimation based on our store page

[prisma gazelle]

i just asked, since i will download hoi 4 again

[ripe slate]

I should be able to say probably not

[hollow narwhal]

omg!! they changed how guarantees work

..to the worse

before democracies could only guarantee when world tension was above 25% but now the uk guaranteed when its at 16%

and they also guaranteed the overlord instead of just the puppet

[ember tapir]

whats the use for civilain trains?

[buoyant lodge]

nice historical playthrough

[hollow narwhal]

they give supply to divisions

[ember tapir]

even overseas in ethiopia?

[hollow narwhal]

they deliver to supply hubs if there isnt a river or a port connection

[ripe slate]

Theyre statistically identical to war trains except for cost if you wondered

[hollow narwhal]

well from the port to the supply hub if there is one connected by railway

[ember tapir]

how many should i keep in the production line? just starting a new playthrough as italy

[hollow narwhal]

jus put 1 factory

[ripe slate]

1 factory should be enough

[ember tapir]

alright

[ripe slate]

maybe 2 if you wanna get through the backlog and then delete the production, assuming you dont expect your trains being bombed which might reduce the stockpile

[ember tapir]

i dont really use supply hubs in the first place

still getting around to most mechanics

[ripe slate]

They're pretty critical, though building extra is a pain in the ass with how ridiculously expensive they are

[grand wolf]

Malta has fallen

[round jetty]

the axis finally died

germany had about 20 mil casualties i think

[ember tapir]

is this right? im moving my troops from italy to south ethiopia

[grand wolf]

24 in the north and 22 in the south

[peak mason]

Spotting cruiser any tips?

[prisma saddle]

mhhh yeah

[ember tapir]

do i have to take the troops from yugoslavia aswell?

[buoyant lodge]

is it optimal to start a playthrough in 39

[oak charm]

Probably not

[grand wolf]

Yeah you should finish off Ethiopia before you need them back in italy

[signal oracle]

Is there a way I can put my Navy into storage in a way where they don't use millions of Manpower?

or do I just have to delete it all?

I ain't got enough Mp to waste 5.5m on some ships

[ember tapir]

should i finish moving my troops in ethiopia before attacking?

and not establish an offensive line until theyre here?

[grand wolf]

Nah attack while their in transport

[ember tapir]

alright

[grand wolf]

If you can capitulate them in April then the uk cant do anything

[ember tapir]

what do i do with the 120 planes?

[grand wolf]

Send them all on over and attach them to the divisions in the north and south

Only 200 in the south

[ember tapir]

alright, ill bring in planes from italy aswell

[true needle]

I would say reduce the gun 2 and fire control to the lowest tiers to reduce cost and add more floatplane catapults as well as an MIO, other than that its good

[grand wolf]

Also build subs and the cheapest destroyers you can for now

[unkempt zodiac]

why does the ai always use shitty templates

[peak mason]

Alright

[jade hinge]

is anyone experiencing a shit ton of crashing with the newest dlc

[grand wolf]

Nah ive crashed once

[jade hinge]

i got the dlc 20 mins ago and already crashed 12 times

[grand wolf]

Oof

[jade hinge]

legit just happened again

[nocturne cedar]

is this good progress? War started in october of 1011

[true needle]

should I continue with MEFO bills or do prioritize economic growth? Its been a long time since ive played germany

[true needle]

yeah, thats usually where I get before my frontline grinds to a halt

[nocturne cedar]

depends

ur going historical?

[grand wolf]

Peg is way better than mefo bills

[true needle]

yeah

[nocturne cedar]

the frontlines are slowly getting slower tho. Supply's getting scarce in everyone's side

[buoyant lodge]

i always js do mefo bills to spam mils b4 invading the entire world

then i achieve autarky once that wraps up

(basically when u can establish the greater german reich)

[true needle]

yep, and while your line keeps stretching thin they can just keep spamming out infantry

[round jetty]

bro what

italian east africa got a somalian collaboration government

[nocturne cedar]

this could be a problem

[true needle]

yep

[nocturne cedar]

do you think this will end up like 1943-1945 germany?

[true needle]

happens every time for me, I only managed to beat that war ONCE

[nocturne cedar]

i've managed to win 3 times

and howd you win once?

[round jetty]

i exiled philipe petain to kerguelen

[true needle]

it always goes good for the first year or so, I inflict a massive amount of casualties and conquer half of them by 1011/1012 and then the frontline stretches thin and stallliongrad reinforces

[cerulean orchid]

ya that happens and they js fragment themself

[true needle]

by then ive lost my momentum and they start pushing me

[cerulean orchid]

theyll do that with eritria too

[nocturne cedar]

then? what happens after?

[cerulean orchid]

and whatever other cores they hold

[hot patrol]

is there a mod that lowers the map opacity like this

its so nice

[dense citrus]

why can manchuria just steal half of the warlords 💔

[ember tapir]

what do i take?

[true needle]

I end the playthrough

[rocky sedge]

is there any working map mod

[nocturne cedar]

send me one of ur disaster saves

[rocky sedge]

for 1.17

[true needle]

this was like 2 years ago

I havent played EaW in a while

[rocky sedge]

they all js end up looking like this

[grand wolf]

Everything

[true needle]

does everyone just keep their saves around long after you're done with them? like once im done with a playthrough I get rid of the save so it doesnt clog up my load game screen

[empty gorge]

How to naval invade in new update

[ember tapir]

but doesnt that mean more resistance and less compliance?

[empty gorge]

It says that I need 272 ships just for 4 divisions

[ember tapir]

do i just not puppet anything?

[empty gorge]

😭

[grand wolf]

Nah thats not a problem

What dlcs do you have?

[ember tapir]

none

or well anything thats free i guess

[grand wolf]

Okay keep the Ethiopians on secret police till you get colonial police

[ember tapir]

alright gonna take everything now

[round jetty]

it isnt changed

other than requiring dominance instead of superiority obviously

[empty gorge]

I putted all ships in yellow Sea region and it still not drops

Before update I was dropping easily

[round jetty]

you dont have enough naval dominance then

check the reason ingame

[empty gorge]

But its china

It has no fleet

[round jetty]

not how dominance works

[ember tapir]

it now says my bases are in low supply

[round jetty]

thats fine

[empty gorge]

I even joined as China using tag command and there's no ships in region

[round jetty]

can you PLEASE read for 2 minutes ingame

how the new system works

[empty gorge]

Where

[grand wolf]

Put garrison on low

[buoyant lodge]

chat who's winning, einheitspakt or danubian fed

[prisma gazelle]

where do i see the list of all avaliable mods for hearts of iron 4?

[grand wolf]

Im going to bomb the holiness out of the usa

[prisma gazelle]

the mod iceberg is a bit lacking, in my hosnest opinion

[ember tapir]

how?

[round jetty]

invading the allies is gonna be a pain

have to invade the us, france, uk, and brazil

then as im about to finish invading australia is gonna become a major

[grand wolf]

The Roman empire is back

[grand wolf]

Recruit and deploy tab

[buoyant lodge]

is it actually possible to form rome as italy

[ember tapir]

then i make a division with 1 unit?

[grizzled zenith]

Are rangers good?

Or should I stick to mountaineers?

[grand wolf]

Yes it the formable is called "Regnum Romanum"

[hollow narwhal]

i will keep my civil war war economy >:)

[grand wolf]

A mix of both would be good

[round jetty]

oh

you can core the entire world as japan now

[grizzled zenith]

But mountaineers have reduced combat width

[grand wolf]

No set garrison to low priority

[grizzled zenith]

What width should I go for then?

I normally go for 32,4 width mountaineers

[grand wolf]

You can make 2 separate templates 1 mountaineers and 1 rangers

Now I must kill Switzerland

[grizzled zenith]

32w rangers and 32,4w mountaineers?

Ok ig

What about the doctrines? I normally go for marines+mountaineers but now I can go for rangers+mountaineers

[proud tapir]

man i got bba and finally realized how good air is when you have good aircraft designs.

The deafult designs suck so much, but with a simple meta design, even the 1936 airframes can shred the RAF with heavy mgs and extra fuel tanks.
I dont even play Italy but the plane designer is so crucial

[grand wolf]

What nation are you?

[grizzled zenith]

Philippines, I'm trying out the focus tree but 99,9% of the times otherwise I'm playing in Europe

[grand wolf]

Are you planning on just defending the island?

[ember tapir]

done, what happens now?

[grizzled zenith]

I'm planning a WC and I'm mostly using special forces as shock troopers

[grand wolf]

It'll take less equipment man mp from you

[round jetty]

yeah guys

[grand wolf]

Build up a civilian industry

[round jetty]

i found a strategy to core the entire world

[grand wolf]

WC?

[round jetty]

as japan

[ember tapir]

what about this?

[grand wolf]

Oh nvm

[grizzled zenith]

World conquest

[proud tapir]

also cant wait to try out the tank designer, the deafult designs can stay in no-dlc hell where they belong

i can finally have an airforce and tanks

[grand wolf]

Make more guns and modify the cavalry division and make it the one used for garrison it should be just cavalry

[grand wolf]

Get the marines doctrine the rangers are just for pushing forests when needed

[round jetty]

make a new division template and put nothing but 1 cavalry battalion in it

because of how the game calculates suppression this is one of the most efficient garrison templates you can make

set that as your garrison, and set your garrison law to local police force as that requires less

[grizzled zenith]

Yeah I guess mountaineers are just better since they have some bonuses to forests too iirc

[grand wolf]

Ye

Roman formable is op i went from 0 to 6mil mp

[round jetty]

rangers are useless tbh

[ember tapir]

oh alright

[round jetty]

i have 86 million

ive cored the soviets and china

and im about to core india

[jade hinge]

is there anyway to make the new dlc stop crashing every other minute

[grand wolf]

I got the European population💔

[grizzled zenith]

But the European Union is even bigger, as Italy you can do Constitutional Monarchy and have the king as your leader while being democratic and have both the EU and Roman Empire formables, the only issue is ur democratic.

[round jetty]

anyways as the greater east asian federation you can integrate and core any "asian" puppets

the only check for the country being asian is the location of its capital

[grand wolf]

I like my monarchy

Old man king looks cool

[round jetty]

you can theoretically get your puppets capital in an asian city and then core them

it cores all of their core states

so for example if i got germanys capital in beijing, integrated them, i would get cores on all of germany

[grand wolf]

16mil mp now

[round jetty]

this is also way faster than the anarchists because instead of slowing coring individual states you core entire countries at a time for 200 pp

[ember tapir]

now that i created it and set it as the garrison along with local police force what do i do?

[round jetty]

dont train them

click on "occupied territories" in your country overview

and click on the division symbol at the top of the menu

[ember tapir]

oh its already set as that

i thought i also had to train them

[round jetty]

ok

thats good then

[ember tapir]

so now do i just wait for the compliance to go up?

[round jetty]

also later on when you complete a certain focus

you can choose to create italian east africa

they still dont get cores on ethiopia but they basically manage all of your east african colonies for you

the point of creating it is that you dont inherit their weapon deficits and even if they get -999k guns from garrison it wont affect you at all

theres also decisions you can take on the map that increase compliance in ethiopia

[prisma gazelle]

hello?

[ember tapir]

im going for the triumph in africa national focus right now

[round jetty]

yeah thats the one

i think i have a silly idea to core european countries

[ember tapir]

resistance is going down a lot now tysm

[round jetty]

no problem

[versed rapids]

why is japan the only nation with leaders made using 3D modeling softwares

[unkempt prism]

there truly exists not enough coal

1942 germany

war economy

buying coal from anyone in the world selling it, and still in a deficit

[versed rapids]

build more infrastructure and develop ressources in your decision tab

[unkempt prism]

there is no coal to be developed

and infrastructure is at max everywhere

[versed rapids]

annex more territory

nations like japan are not selling any

same in south america

[pseudo saddle]

You gotta demobilize an economy law cause you have simply that many factories

[versed rapids]

• yeah

i was about to say it

go on partial mobilization and youll have more coal

[unkempt prism]

Rip

[rocky sedge]

average nonhistorical game

is there the us

[rocky sedge]

dont ask me im the philippines

also icl i hate how the update broke every map mod

[oak charm]

How the hell did the us get over here

[rocky sedge]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

this dlc broke sm istg

[ember tapir]

should i develop ethiopia?

[oak charm]

The president, how many convoys does he have?

My Ironman mode mods still works. I'm happy

italy has much better infrastructure

[round jetty]

why switzerland ):

yeah if you want

[ember tapir]

well originally it was corsica

[round jetty]

you can justify a wargoal on them in the diplomatic menu

[true dune]

Once again, they Hoi4 dev team failed to remove 'Shogunate' from Kodoha.

If they don't fix it, (although those fleets of angry sound trucks never really come) maybe every night they come to Hoi4 dev team members' dream.

[round jetty]

but be careful because the brits might guarantee them

[ember tapir]

is there a way to take over corsica without angering france?

[round jetty]

they sound so robotic 💀

[round jetty]

france likes keeping its territory so no

[peak mason]

I’m finally starting to understand navy

[round jetty]

youll have to go to war with them

[sour hare]

nice info Thx

[ember tapir]

the political path is the foreign affairs one right?

[craggy trail]

With a bunch of extra mods as well

[round jetty]

yes

[ember tapir]

what happens if the power balance gets to a 100%?

[craggy trail]

you get some buffs for mussolini

Im gonna play as germany and use space marines

[rocky sedge]

should i invade the dutch east indies as the philippines

[round jetty]

yes but join the axis

[round jetty]

so germany will invade the dutch

[rocky sedge]

im in americas faction rn

what mods are for historical flags n everything?

[grizzled zenith]

Yes

[round jetty]

theyre not gonna be able to invade the netherlands

also the us disbands that faction later

[rocky sedge]

ill be fine i can solo the dutch fr

[round jetty]

uh

from where are you gonna naval invade or paradrop them

[worthy crypt]

whats the country tag for reformed government of china

[round jetty]

the only plane thats making that distance is an intercontinental bomber

[worthy crypt]

like the japanese one

[round jetty]

ill check

[rocky sedge]

wait good point

give me 1 min

[ember tapir]

wait really?

like how?

as fascist japan, what's the point of integrating your puppets?

you can steal their manpower

would be really nice if there was a place i could report bugs

damn, so no formable for fascist japan? thats ok im still gonna destroy the americans

[stiff forge]

yeah lol thats like most of the complaints

just weird democratic routes

[grizzled yarrow]

Yall how do i beat japan as china :D

[round jetty]

as china you can demand countries to release "colonies"

basically it lets you ask countries to release any annexed nation in asia like vietnam, laos, etc

[celest dirge]

Scrolling through code and I can't not believe what I see. AI is a complete failure this time. current dynamic naval AI by pdx is overwriting previous scripted AI, and I have to say it sucks, even worse than a dumb and motionless script.

[round jetty]

what they didnt account for was that it works for ANY asian nation, including core states
