it also removes their cores from those countries
and it works for other places like the princely states
holy slop
i think its because dlcs are already semi implemented into the vanilla game
if you lack gotterdammerung the game still tells you that helicopter recon gets a buff from support company research
should i go for balkan ambition?
yes
same with all spy activities
then immediately send a million demands to yugoslavia
demands such as what?
how can i collapse here and end up in an endsieg like scenario?
you can demand dalmatia and montenegro which they usually accept
if you take the focus to annex albania you can also demand kosovo
and you can demand they be your puppet
Did you add a My Little Pony General’s Mod?
oh nice
theyre almost guaranteed to accept all of these demands except montenegro for some reason

ok i rebranded
brother its equestria at war you dum dum
man
how do i play the Phillippines
i just can't
There are too many 70 days focuses
and when i break free and go towards the last branch
no ships
and only claims
?
this new dlc is too laggy
i need tips and tricks
overall its worse than graveyard of empires
oh i still have this image
the only decent thing abt it is japan
should i occupy albania?
Gotterdammerung was something else
yes
i stayed 12 hours to complete that dlc
have you noticed the lag or not?
never pass up free real estate in this game
Tbh i barely expected lag
I think italy could use some 1936 german freedom
i found one of the stupidest country names ever
Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Socialist Union
im experiecing lag in minor ares. Like, clicking a button increases lag by a billion
Man f me
but i can't enjoy this dlc
even GoE enjoyed it
Iran and Afghanistan
idk where to start
i couldnt enjoy it either man
i tried japan
For space marines does the tank need to be good?
went to cw
the navy nowdays is just so confusing
it feels like they changed the navy entirelly too
like, i cannot naval dom anywhere
tried the new navy system
i dont get it
left with a headache
theres also commune in the north of ireland
One more option is Reino De Phillippinas
monarchist Phillippines
F me i stayed over 12 hours to complete GTG
And after that i played Austria 5 times in one week
i dont get what's good with austria
All of my mods still work @tulip thorn @supple kettle
hungary is so much better
Austria is my blood nation
i am not austrian
but everytime i need relax
austria is my go to
why'd you respond to my message?
Why does china just not even guard their border really and just get walked through like butter whenever there is a division? it takes only 2 months to kill china
oh ok
Do yall think I can beat italy as germany in 1936?
Ai? yes
Yes the ai
I got 48 infantry divisions rn
current progress
did coal nerf Germany then?
coal nerfed everyone for the most part
especially minor nations
who did it hit hardest
UK US USSR and GER should all be ok I assume
basically any country with little to none coal and not many civs
like dutch east indies, netherlands, ireland, etc
the us probably got buffed tbh
Italy try not to suck challenge impossible
they have a huge monopoly on coal
as long as Germany has enough coal it doesn't really matter who else has it wrt non majors
Nah i did the impossible, most important step is to kill off any and all divisions you cant disband using the Sino Japanese war
223 coal for germany
did germany get resistance nerfs?
234*
they should add the ability to make oil from coal
since it was explored irl
by Italy and Germany especially Iirc
Ah yes liquid coal great idea
it would make synth ref less universal
Italy has a whole 7 divisions on the border we share
does Italy really only get 4 coal
Yes
its time
how can i gain naval supremacy with the new dlc?
Very
Im bouta invade italy and annex them for that sweet sweet navy
can you stockpile coal?
ALSO
italy is my puppet
so logically speaking actually 3x the size
More ships in the area than your enemy
I should stall the war with italy and do the army focus that need war with a major
glad i didnt buy this game
wouldve wasted $50
all the interesting countries have crappy focuses and its not interesting
AND paradox has 30 dollar dlcs instead of updates
this too lol
So there's like 250$ of dlcs that should have been updates
There's like 23
but this game came out in 2016 lol
Paradox really cooked with hoi4 then left it to get moldy and stale
agreed
greater east asia wang jingwei?
Normally its
Country Name
Faction
Leader Name
so for some reason
half of japans puppets
dont have names anymore
This Naval rework is beyond stupid, and I don't mean because it's difficult. It definitely is that, BUT...
What's wrong with this picture?
It is not difficult
What is wrong with THIS picture?
Seriously, what is wrong with this picture? Can you tell?
Why do you got no navy leaders
I have a few late-war Fleet submarines with ridiculous range, but LOOK AT THE DATE.
That is a lot of range
I can see that being done on that date
You got a focus as the US to get them faster I believe
Sure, but in reality models like this one did not enter service until late 1942 or early 1943.
And atomic bombs weren't dropped in 43
The power of tech rushing in hoi4
My point is that USA Naval has gone from Carrier supremacy to Cold Waters but in Hearts of Iron.
Bruv is blaming research💀
IDK those games
In either case, I didn't make any subs in my last US game and it went very well
well I made 1 which was in the starting queue
Cold Waters? A Cold-War Submarine sim game?
Yeah, I never played them
It's only one game, LOL.
No, I meant to say that USA Naval went from CARRIERS being the best strategy to basically just playing Cold Waters but in Hearts of Iron IV and spamming long-range, advanced submarines being the best strategy.
the good guys
European Belgium
I'm also going to mine both the Coast of Japan and the Sea of Japan, even though I think Mines still suck, don't they? Regardless, it was done in reality.
Duh
I just know mines suck in deep ocean
dont mines suck always
Speaking of Submarines, LOOK at this production! LOL. Ignore the duplicate Fleet Sub, that will replace all production of the old variant when the next submarine is finished.
how much cas does one need to beat switzerland without mountaineers 😭
(it was at 130 a bit earlier lool)
any japan strat ?
for what
How many german super heavy battleships to destroy the royal navy
lol i complained too early
carriers r the goat
ngl u can prob beat any ai fleet with carriers + early heavy cruisers
... so u wanna make super heavy battleships but cant make carriers
arent carriers like half the cost
Yes I want big boats that take 50 years to make
SWITZERLAND DEFEATED
lo
HOLY CRAP WHAT HAS ITALY BEEN UP TO? For SHAME Britain, you are getting PAWNED!
i wonder if destroyer spam still beats the british
I will have a single battleship in 1941
oh damn ..
now you know why they wanted to do it by blood alone
Who needs aircraft carriers when you just shove 100000 nav bombers into the English channel
Planes dont sail
ac can help boost region dominance iirc
That doesn't save the subs
Thats what superheavy battleships and 1000 destroyers are for
thanks that reminded me ive been making these
Hey guys, is the Hoi4 game on Steam opening normally for you?
Tno is peak but it's also hot dogshit
The situation has developed not necessarily to Japan's advantage
Eh ill make 4 ac just for that one german mission but im not making more than that
Real
Nor has it for the Axis. Stalin was zero help and is at 99 percent surrender. I just might decide to liberate Ukraine and Belarus from the bastard.
I think I'm invading the USSR after this as punishment for them being useless. PDX needs to buff the USSR AI, they get slapped by the Germans every damn game now
Does this new Coal resource annoy anyone else?
It limits snowballing, as the US I've had to drop down to partial mob in the late game
Nah cuz I dont spam 10000 civs
Peak
But I don't mind it. My only complaint is that the US should have WAYYY more coal
tbh ussr needs a buff imo
US coal reserves were far from running out at the time
historical accuracy needs to be sacrificed in the name of game balance
Of course, today it's a different story, but that's because we've long since exhausted surface reserves and the whole discovering climate change thing
if there was a mod where hoi4 was 100% historically accurate, the axis would always lose
If this game were accurate, any Axis player would make Hitler look like Einstein
You're blowing your brains out in the Fuhrerbunker 1941 at the latest
was hitler like that bad when it came to war tactics or like
like
To be fair, the resource distribution in this game sucks, China has almost no resources in game, probably because they weren't discovered yet. But there should be Tungsten and Chromium there to represent the vast rare-earth mineral deposits discovered there.
Btw, always wondered why there isn't an event for Hitler becoming a good Nazi
how bad was he when came that way
he already built the camps
More that the Axis had zero shot
If he was good he would have won the war
"the only good nazi is a dead nazi"
If he was good he wouldn't have started it too
Inshallah
Hitler became a good Nazi when he blew his brains out
9 years since release and Hitler still only commits suicide if his own army overthrows him
Ussr was buffed this patch
he went to Argentina according to the CIA
The snow thing helps them
I think there should be an event where if you take Berlin, he decorates the walls of his bunker with his brain and Germany gets a debuff to surrender progress, with Admiral Donuts becoming leader for a bit
Hitler committed suicide
Coal is great for bloated countries like US, Germany or USSR
9 years since release and all forces surrounded and destroyed are still exterminated to the last man, rather than being taken prisoner.
We know this for a fact
Just dont go war economy, it sucks now late game
I've always abstracted casualties as including captured troops
we is you, I prefer to trust the CIA
man i hate when i have an urge to play alt history germany and remember theres an entire civil war to do

That's just bad design.
Nah his dog killed him
AI 😭
theres no real evidence to suggest he escaped
I wasn't there so i can't say for certain
The conspiracy ironically enough came from Soviet propaganda
the CIA had a file on it
the soviets had a skull fragment from a woman
But they knew for a fact he killed himself.
Also, keep in mind there were living witnesses to Hitler's demise
The guy after Hitler died tried to peace with the allies and join hands against the USSR
Who all gave the same story to Allied interrogators
Doenitz?
Correct.
He had zero intention of doing anything other than trying to surrender to the Allies and spare the remaining Heer from destruction
He was pretty much just the guy meant to sign the paper
why does the automod block my messages which word is bad
Ohhhh
i cant say the crazy vril ocult place underground
i was gonna say
Ye they are suppressing the trvth here 😭
Conspiracy nuts also belive that a US training excercise in antartica was them actualy fighting the nazis in a secret underground base
A bunker?
bro what
how does that make any sense
still 1942 germany and now there's not enough coal not even for partial mobilization
no the schizo hollow earth thing
Lore accurate Germany
yeah
absolutely not
so italy left my faction, the netherlands disbanded their faction, italy made their own, then the netherlands joins italy
there is not enough coal in the world to fuel any resemblance of an industry
thats the og vril, before the hollow earth nutjobs we had this
Who do you trade with
for coal
everyone that sells it
are your naval routes good?
Maybe you are not getting enough coal because your convoys are getting bombed to shreds
I think coal could be a mini nerf to late game so it limits industrial capacity
bussolini is worried
maybe makes late game less painful
lmao look at this scenario
i just cap china with 10k death in 37
I know but it's stupid, like the limiting factor to industrial growth is not that "sir there doesn't exist enough coal in the world to run it"
how many factories do you have?
how so
623
bro
build fort, infra, anti air, supply
how tf do you have 623
Yeah bro no wonder you have no coal
And to be fair its not everyone in the world tho
You cant trade with maybe the biggest possible supplier next to the USSR
the US
Yeah i have been trying to master Germany
Im gonna sealion them soon but with paratroopers
did you attack the ussr first?
yes
cause it's cheesy otherwise
to end the brits first
got to have that two front war
i asked Italy to join so they can take home troops to Africa and leave stuff undefended
fair enough
hopefuly
why do you want Italy to join
Ofc i put an army to garrison the entire Italian coast
i dont trust them
they might take out the royal navy tbf
and sent an army to North Africa to help too
Then if i manage to sucsessfuly kill the UK, i can pull everything back home for barbarossa
Air germany is fun
i love seeing 7 to 30 kill ratios
first time playing soviets in ages and i wasnt anticpating to hold the germans on the border lmao
Man planes are so easy with bba
it feels like a chain was broken
im so happy i got it on sale
so worth it for the air designer
I dont even play Italy, i just wanted planes that can do stuff
36 width divisions of doom and dispair
no step back
wait isnt that an achivememt
if you dont let germany take a tile
until a specific date
this is so cursed
oh yeah it is
unfortunately i lost a few tiles to finland
Russia offers its half and Japan offers its half
euhh how do i get rid of my own faction when i am the only member, i am stuk in one now??
cant see it in the new faction window\
What cruiser template should I use? I used a lot of medium batteries but they removed them so idk what to use now
Also should I build destroyers? Basically, what ships should I build?
destroyers reflect domi so you can naval inv
What about cruisers and subs?
the new faction window looks nice but way to complicated
subs are only good for conv raiding and use them solo not comb with survice
so you use bb, cl and dd
and ss solo
400k casualties in a month
Lol
Yeah but I have no fleet, what should I build and research?
As Philippines
dep on what you wanna do
Does sub spam still work
not as it once was
Mainly have naval dominance and protect my convoys
Ok
I'm planning a world conquest so I'll need to build a navy
as the philp??
Yes
damm bub, thats a hard one
Nah, I can do the Hispanic Empire and it shouldn't be that hard
nerf japan please*
But I need a good navy
tbh should i abandon the philippines since my navy has no range somehow
And idk how to build it
even in port
Iirc I need to build like 4 heavy ships, like 20 cruisers and then spam destroyers and subs?
Or idk what I need to build
4cap and 8 cl and 20 dd
Has anyone measured how much of a difference fps map makes? Very much depends on pooter I guess but still, is it significant in general?
4 capitals, 8 cruisers and 20 destroyers?
I think you need to change their "home base"? Part of new update afaik
Yes but is that what I need to build?
wdym
Also what if I ask Japan for licenses instead of researching my navy
yea not sure with the new update do
your ships range is calculated from san diego as of now according to screenshot, you need to change that
you will HOLD
to phillipines
i BELIEVE!!!
I guess I'll just spam cruisers
Is there a mod that lets me nuke a country and forces it to surrender?
thats stupid ngl it should be calculated for which port u in not a set position
yep, they changed it this update, don't remember their motivation
think they changed the way ship supply is calculated
it's dumb
great i gotta split up my navy into 2-3 task forces to deal with just the pacific
pretty underwhelmed with how shit the german offensive is going
awww
i have the historical 3 million men
sometimes I turn up the modifiers for my enemy
and they have not a tank divsion in sight
to make it "fair"
yeah looks like i must do that
you could try playing germany(non-ironman) as normal as far as you like, then sometime during the war you switch to the soviets and try to defend the Germany you set up yourself
that would certainly be interesting
I lend leased the germans like 30 thousand guns and now there pushing
i just kind delete my faction, thats a pain in the ass realy
I do like that I am still managing to run into some of the problems the soviets historically had
I have produced so many divisions that I no longer have any more support or artillery equipment which means for my new wave of reserve armies I must strip them of all additional support. Its just the Soviets historically did this after losing 2 million men in 2 months while im doing this because the germans pushed 2 tiles near brest
whats the current japan meta for china war? ive seen multiple ppl spam cheap 12-14witdh divs and beat under a year
YESSS
Man i am returning his acc back
i am gonna get back to my acc
i simply can't enjoy this dlc
so i am gonna play austria
leave the game, i dont think so
i will work around it and make it work\
that's what i meant
🙂
The phillies just simply can't work
🙂
bro what did they do to japan and germany
Germany AI is literally piss
and Japan AI has held out against the allies so far until 1947
what the actual hell
I was wondering where the german panzers were
this dlc left me in a fever dream state
Japan being stronger than the US : 🥀
Man this dlc feels strange asf to me
Bro its cause they SCREWED the power balance
Dude I just watched 6 japanese divisions
while encircled
hold off the soviets + allies
for a month
Man don't tell me about power balance
THEY WERE NOT DOING THAT
i played aat and toa
i know what power creep is
game mechanic too much please explain
this dlc feels too safe
and i can feel some GoE influence
especially in the Phillippines
they really need to do work on peace conferences man, how do i capitulate qing china (they rebelled against me as japan) and i dont have enough war score to annex them!?
the world would be in shambles if that happened
for elimination the operation
im gonna give all my support to Israel
why did they do this, why did they make america into it's own faction
US or UK?
i can't even play austria properly
God my head hurts and spins
i am gonna play Fascist hungary
And for NCNS
i will try and watch it more
read more on reddit
and maybe i will get it
cuz this dlc feels too eerie
they get an event to join the allies
ok any mod on?? how do i desovle a faction when i dont want it?\
i am the only member\
all quiet on the eastern front
i have been actively playing minecraft for 6 hours rightnow-
war casualties in the war ui count fighters shot down and ships sunk right
because they do indeed have manpower
in them
Yes
What is the curreny meta for the ussr? Spamming tanks or just shitting infantry until it fixes the frontlines
Watch sum begginers tutorials or Learn the hard way (i was a dumbass and learned everything from scratch)
omg why is my front line still spawning to neighbor
? What
You mean when Ur at war with 2 countries that border each other?
tanks won't defend
just get a good defensive template
and get ready to push with mountaineers or something
its still that when your front line is falling to other nations but you own\
geniunely what
almost historical timing too
I have learned from this
Basically to make germany win barb is to have some elite divions encircle the soviets, and make sure to keep the germans good on guns
i played as 2 countries in kaiserredux
both of my playthroughs end up with Long winning in 2acw and aus ending up as a monarchy
and okay i get the first one
jacobite kingdom jacobites james iii etcetera
but
crowning Jesus of Nazareth as a King of America???????
I don’t think a new one has had time to develop with the new doctrine system.
why is mengkukuo sending divisions to germany bruh
they're defending their coastline
why is manchukuo in budapest
what kind of school trip is this
If I attack Argentina will the US attack me?(I'm Philippines)
Cuz Argentina is cored
By me
is the fire rises any fun?
compared to other modern day mods like red dusk or millenium dawn
or ig tno
How should I design my capital ship designs like heavy cruiser or like battleships/battle cruisers either one of em
USA! USA! USA!
guys ı made peace with japan but still fights me why ?
how to fix some divisions not in position
what's the general feeling of the new doctrines?
Apparently GBP is still meta in MP?
@upbeat burrow you know?
no clue
is there a yellow exclamation mark?
red
I sent my fleet to a tile to gain naval dominance but I get no naval dominance?
Why doesn't it work
Like a moth have passed
Uh are you sure you've actually assigned your divisions to the order?
I haven't played since the new update came out but I'm 99% sure you've just not assigned divisions to the order
prolly
Select the divisions, hold ctrl and click on the order you want to assign them to
ok
lmk if that helps, or at if it changes the red exclamation mark to a yellow one
that was it bro, appreciate ur help
tysm
np, for next time, sometimes when creating new orders some divisions may not actually be assigned, so red arrow just means you need to assign them, if it's yellow arrow it can either be no valid path to the plan, or bad logistics. A yellow exclamation mark issue can be a bit trickier sometimes
but all in all, Paradox tooltips are actually quite good, so if you just hover over an icon you don't understand, usually you'll get some information. I'm pretty sure you'd get "division not assigned" if you hover over the red exclamation mark
You can also get keyboard shortcuts through tooltips on the general order bar and other icons
People more knowledgeable than me on hoi4
Is this any good?
you can get insane communist militia atm
So my snip screenshot is considered good or no?
they will have good reinforce rate
I'm gonna assume yes then.
Finally truly Kebab.
Factories needs power. Power is coal. No coal, no factories.
mils and civs consume it, no coal=factories run slower
for both mils and civs?
more factories = all factories use more coal
its still better
why cant i get dominance here
Every 40 or so factories, use per factory doubles
Is this good?
put navy on patrol then strike force
i see
Nah, you can spam, can trade or build infrastructure in regions with coal, take 80 coal from puppets for 1 factory.
how so?
the doctrine system does though
you start with a base of 10 coal
always
so you only need to start thinking about importing at 40+ factories or so
ah
still not working
it takes 30 days iirc
nvm i guess u can only do one zone at a time
coz the dominance ticks up
ts new system weird bruh
huh i just realized i forgot that i guess i didn't do the special path like i thought i did
i guess u have to put the emperor on house arrest before assassinating him to get the special empress path
didt isp got it by accident
yeah
i did a run recently and thought i could just skip the 50/50 to assassinate him and killed him outright
unless i missed something else i guess i need to do the 50/50 and lose
Am I tripping?
click the zone
'Insufficient naval dominance: we have 201 out of the 84 required'
you need 66% of the supremacy
it says your divs are still preparing
but idk
are you at war?
with norway
Naval invasion fully planned and all divisions are in the port I Aam invading from
Yes its Me and Sweden vs Norway
Never in my 2700 hours have I been this confused
ah
no
you need a minimum of 250 points for zone control
your current control is below 250
that might be the issue
whydoes it say no accessable regions
you need access to a naval supply hub nearby
Looks like you've put the no access mode on
which i think has to be your own
Ill try, this is my first game in this mod since I just came home from Denmark
didn't they change spg combat width?
Is People Militia patched or it required dlc?
Wonder why fascist china can core all of southeast asia, eastern russia, central asia, but not korea
i have a naval supply hub and i still cant do anything
Probably cos no one lives in those areas other than korea
Imaging this you invite some chinese peasants into the middle of kazakhstan and boom they are the majority pop
oh right and there are chinese in southeast asia already (I am one)
please someone help
Bro you turned your naval access off in those regions
I shouldn't even be speaking on the new system because I'm only 1938 in my first campaign since the update
to 2
you need to have it as fleet homebase
also its cuz early destroyers
how do i do that
range is VERY limited now
how do i set ts as my fleet homebase
Praise the mighty fallschimjager, i did a sucsessful sealion and im about to knock out Britain completly in 1940

Babies first sealion
is this good for a last stand?
i love the airforce, i love paratroopers
I love stupid line artillery divisions that deal a bunch of soft attack
who needs navies anyways
why are some of the tank subdoctrines hidden?
would it be better to use destroyers or cruiser submarines for scouting?
destroyers may be cheaper and can mount radar but cruiser submarines can mount radar and possibly a floatplane catapult
wow this is like crack man, it feels so good to sucsessfuly invade the UK
does the UK still cap it's empire post sealion?
ill have to do some math to find the best balance of spotting to cost, scout cruisers are really good at spotting but they are 3k ish IC at the cheapest
Ctrl right click a port to set a homebase
ye but they should now have better range than dds or subs no?
which is important since range is now severly limited
Two of them require the NCNS DLC
Anyone know when the map mods are gonna get fixed? Cus when I load blue marble, the inf mode doesn't work properly
cruiser subs have decent range for how early you can get them, though they are worse than sub 3s
true
but they could potentially be better at convoy raiding with the gun module and floatplane catapults
the gun module is so much worse than the range option...
new communist china is amazing. full mercenary army is crazy
china by far the best economic boost late game
Does anyone else experience this issue with this new DLC; it freezes every time it tries to save automatically?
I smell 2w cav
And not only that, but it starts saving automatically for everything all the time, even when the auto-save option is disabled.
That just happens every time
DLC or not
Yes, but honestly, I feel like it's even worse.
1940 i won
well that was a long and annoying peace deal. I think i know which mediterranean country i might have in sights if barbarossa goes well......
I had to balkanize India because the stupid Italians wanted it.
I did the sealion, NOT YOU.
you know theres an ironman compatible game setting to change war score right
you can transfer from low score, to faction leader and it automatically is on for transferring to overlord
interesting
i didnt know about this
thx
man was this fun, finally a true sucsessful german game
Absolutely demolished the UK with paratroopers and inf division spam once the port was took
its at the bottom
💀
What in the flying frick is that? A furry mod?
Some doctrines are DLC Eclusive. For Tanks, both Armored Cavalry and Tank Destroyer Force subdoctrines are NCNS exclusive
Yes. THe My Little Pony mod for Hearts of Iron 4, considered by a lot of youtubers to be top of its class in the Total Overhaul workshop community
Equestria at War
Hey, sorry for your loss... when I was a kid, we had a Black Lab/Blue Healer mix named Lexi... died tragically at 11 years old... it hit all of my family hard.
She was a good dog.

I just noticed his bio
Oh
As seen in the screenshot XD
Dang... you really run out of coal fast though lol
I am starting to feel irl Japan's pain.
why crash my game when i zoom in to japan in 1950?
Using any mods?
yea
Its my little pony, get it right
It might be if you are using too many mods, or it might just be because it's late game.
mhhh
soviets are doing their best as always
you guys actually don't understand navy? i thought it was a meme
as japan are you literally supposed to just figure out how to capitulate the UK or did they add some sort of way to make a peace deal with them
Slowly make your way over
Go India, Arabia, Africa
Or just try to get mil access from Germany
wtf is this
Looks like partisans to me
rate my encirclement
partisans
in single player, motorized infantry+lots of motorized artillery is so busted
from what
tanks cost way more than these, and are slower
partisans
speed is underrated
you should try the AC 3 build
yum
whats that
speed
its faster with new doctrines
I want to see that it action
Encirclement 101
Very speedy armored car
bro is helping me with my marines
italy actually doing well on the ethiopian front? shocking
Can you make Naval Bombers with light airframe or do they have to be medium airframe?
i always use light
yes
Awesome, thanks.
lets gooooo
is china easier or harder to play historical this update compared to before?
probably harder for most people
just wondering what to expect this time around since im going to try KMT china again with new dlc
i used to be able to beat japan eventually as china but at the same time I used to have a much easier time beating china as japan, so things clearly have changed a bit

Yes
They made one of churchill as well
In london i believe it is
Crazy how big hoi4 is
And nuclear gandhi
hoi4 humor at 3pm actually
bro lives in hawaii or something
New Zealand time zone
Now that the DLC has been out for a few days:
Which nation that's been worked up in the DLC would you guys say is best for beginners?
Alright. It's time for me to ask. How do you guys like the new expansion?
No idea.
It’s bad
I tried Communist China without saving my progress. But only like, an in-game day or something.
Wow.
But it updated many of the Asian countries' focus trees.
You think it's bad? I respect that.
bro is so wholesime
I haven't given it enough of a chance.
its time for hoi5
coal is just an annoying feature
HOI V with some alternate history focus tree paths for the big countries like Germany.
I hope they upgrade the engine for hoiV
Make multiplayer great again
i havent played yhe dlc yet but it looks kinda cool to me
I'd like to play a vanilla HOI game and have a National Bolshevik Germany. Ernst Niekish (probably mispelled), Karl Otto Paetel, etc. Or heck, even the Conservative Revolutionary Movement in Germany with Oswald Spengler. Imagine Spengler leading Germany in an alt history path in HOI 5. Would be awesome.
Its underpowered af
It’s not, trust me bro
There isnt enough coal
if they just made a more efficient engine then the game could practically become a ww2 game with the addition of the korean war
what is the longest recorded multiplayer hoi4 game
Facts
I wanted more content for Communist China. I did get what I wanted.
it has to be days long
Brother all I wanted for china was for KMT china to be blue
Slop content
My wish was granted and more
Why?
I guess I'm still a normie. What's blue? What does blue mean?
Democracy?
it's just whenever I think of the chinese KMT regime I always think blue
Blue on flag, blue insignias, blue uniforms
Blue side of chinese civil war
Oh you mean that you literally wanted it to be the color blue.
That's cool.
Yes
I dig that, yo.
idk i feel like hoi4 now is kinda messy
how to do naval invasion?
you wont be missed yellow china
All that hoi5 achieves is reset back to hoi4 launch barebone state and years of reselling features back
says who
Anyone that knows paradox business model
you got me there 💔
I would hope that they would take much of the content from hoi4 they've already developed then upgrade it to a new engine, maybe add UI/graphical improvements, then keep polishing the game mechanics from there
But I'm not done until muh USA rework
someones gonna make a mod to make china yellow again i can feel it
yeah exactly
either way
eu 5 better

One can hope but then they cant resell the features to us
And then it would not be paradox game
Anycase i wonder if they are going to adapt this naval HQ system to air and land battles too
I'm not buying a single new paradox title that uses the stupid clausewitz engine
whats the problem
UE5 
that’d be interesting
Tbh would seem like logical step
old engine that's inefficient
1938 historical and these 2 joined the allies (and the french alliance that exists for some reason) stupid paradox
although i dont know how much using UE5 does to improve performance in euV
im still not 100% sure what naval hqs do
How stuck the logic is on 1 core i would not hold my hopes too high
But no worries they will fix that bottleneck issue with UE6 as per sweeneys words
all my cores sitting here waiting to be used
And will wait for while
i yearn for the max speed latewar korean war
Time for good old LN2 and bruteforce
how can u possibly deal with coal???????????
i formed rome and now im in need of 1000 coal and theres like only 500 that i can get from trading
You don’t
do i give birth to coal
wither skeleton farm
It was never made properly because it wasn’t in from day one
r the devs just gonna sit and jerk off instead of you know trying to fix it?
How many space marine divisions are needed to capitulate the ussr
it kinda ruins the whole already non existant lategame
thats what they always do
paradox is the devil yo
like how do i even manage to get out of a 1000 coal deficit
guys remember when hitler ran out of coal!!!
truly a german failure
hitler would have won if only he had more coal
coal is exponential
maybe paradox r historical geniuses
if you have more factories, all factories use more
so youll have to have puppets/deal with debuffs
i dont mind this, how do i get more coal though????
i have deficit of 800 while already trading and gettign all the coal
if youre too big of a country you have more need than you can possibly produce
oh yeah asain china
marijn said it goes up every 40 factories
I got tannu Tuva becoming owner of the Comintern earlier
like where????
why is that still a thing
from your territories idk
italy is also very coal starved

if only mussolini had more coal he'd have broken through the greece lines
like i get that its coal starved sure but
once you form the roman empire u shouldnt have to worry about coal
imo
Most of Europe is
I had plenty after taking all of central Europe
I am the one who starves
time to trade with morocco bro⏰⏰⏰⏰
what do i do now chat
trade for coal
Who are you
italy
Make a puppet out of east Africa
ethiopia?
Yeah its in the decisions tab
wont i lose all my factories in it tho
u already dont have much cause of resistance i think
also it isnt in the decisions tab
u have go down to
new leader for ethiopia and ministry of africa
Not really, plus it'll be a puppet so alot of its industry will go to you
then itll appear
i need more compliance in it
who r u playing as? @oak charm
Put Ethiopia on civilian oversight
so release ethiopia and then that way i can go safari without uk dunking on me?
already done
who r u playing as
mussolini if he was based
oh
Then wait and do focuses and take decisions that raise compliance
command power bruh
me when i fricking hate morocco
hey bro can u not bomb rabat i just bought my confo
uhh huh. sureeeeeeee buddy
?
anyways
what
too late
any tips for playing as monarchist britian? I turned histiorical focuses on. how should I beat the axis?
The glorious adolf hitler will claim the mandate of heaven and trade for coal.
Santa loves COAL from hoi4 so much he turned it into a real thing!
Anything works you got the biggest navy so naval invade near the Italian and german capitals and rush for the victory points
i thiink early war with france and try to set up a puppet n u mostly do africa campaigns until barbarossa n u make sure italy loses all navy
ight bet
basically ww2 allies no us
sounds good
No need to wait till germany invades the ussr
btw how should I organize by navy? I put all my subs on their own thing convoy raiding and the rest of my ships on strike force (if they surpass the 10 I split them up)
u think he has enough to win against prime germany in 40 in core land?
so then should i safari or should i take greece
Did you puppet the northwestern army or something
Depends, I use capital hunters for subs
hmm
Its the ai its pathetically weak
What did Morocco possibly do to deserve this
very weird thing to do but u justify on yugoslavia and get a war with romania yugoslavia and france (no uk) and eat everything
Integrated operations for screens
yea true
fr
Exist

your going to get killed
does justifying on france not bring the uk in
ill find your location
Good luck getting to china
24 space marine divisions would be more than enough to cap germany if you land by Denmark
ur justifying on yugoslavia and if u declare b4 france join allies u arent at war with ul
space marines are ASS. I use 1 width artillery to fight my battles
i was reading there loc in the main menu
what
Nah they op
i refuse to fall
peak asia
they are in the allies, rip lol
I love EUROPEAN CHINA
ouch
erm ackshually its asian china
holy
dont focus africa tho its useless just build up italy u dont have much choices
ive been waiting for this moment
The uk looks like they could use some mass bombing campaigns
🗣️ 📣 "Yo France, free Algeria"
Why is everything Asian
where did you get the 1-width artillery 😭
Bruh
Because main country is Asian Federation.
famine resistance things
