No
No frontline on the west, no air in the sky, crazy weird offensive lines
no air in the sky?
Look up
The airfields seem empty to me
casualties??
hey guys, the game is right now on sale for 8 bucks, to be fair i just saw the game randomly and the mechanics and war strategies look SO fun, could i get some opinions or stuff i should kow abt the game
im at like 2fps btw
assuming bro is playing sp, I don't think we can be too harsh
hoi4 try not to run like shit
you can seriously just draw battleplans with no air against poland and win as Germany
I will be harsh
its pain to my eyes
πππππππ
efficient? no but it gets the job done and all that mental energy can go to France
Afghanistan?
you need like a focused build
anti soviet pact
the issue with new players is no focus no build
i clicked the wrong button once
wwhat do yall think is 8 bucks a good deal? and is there stuff i should know abt the game
How did japan best china in my game?
Heres a tip, dont use trucks
They suck
And keep you're tanks in sepereate generals/armies, so you can use them to attack weak spots
Spare the trucks for logistics
will take a lot of time to learn
incorrect
make tank only armies
as in
0 infantry
im getting held off by 5 regiments in warsaw
HE HAS NO TANKS π
theres 1 starting light tank div in the screenshot
I feel like severe lag by 1939
Yea dont fight it anymore, stabalize the front
Retreat to a river if you need, but behind it, not infront
River provides defense
Year of our lord 2025, and Japan will still never escape 70 day focuses
my bad its 3 regiments
is it fun? i REALLY love army/strategy games,
just play until the 21st century
also can i create the french empire
@tepid nova isn't it beautiful π
Issue is he has no equipment, that tank is only good because it hasnt seen combat, but the others are starving
look at those BEAUTIFUL red and orange boxes
Im throwing up
why is there the whole german population on upper warsaw
shoutout to the East African division there
fair
good for you Italy
i think its fun
HAHAHAH
Just
Pull out you're tanks and stop all attacks, and then spearhead the tanks from the south where there isnt a river
i got a better strat
Put the tanks into their own army
Anyone that can kinda teach me some basics? I know some really basic things but need some tips ect. Doesnt need to be now. Just add me
NO PLEASE
reload back to jan 1938
NO
in 1920 some Ethiopian child was born, little did he know he would be fighting in Spaces' great offensive against Warsaw
21.30 production cost for a medium tank
hes fighting the soviets
italy refused my call
WHAT are you making?
please do the molotov ribbentrop pact for the love of god
Space can you please stream this so Sloth can watch
into the polish war
I want Sloth to watch your brilliant logistics work
Me?
We all want to watch
It is fun when you get the hang of it
Unless its like a 1943 medium tank, Idk how you got the price that high up
I cant
do you think 8 bucks is worth it?
We stand on the shoulders of giants (Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Napoleon, Space)
Cast armor
do you think losing half your army against 5 divisions in warsaw is worth it? (i am going insane)
Its 14.20 without cast armor
Speaking of production cost
hello yalls
8 bucks is the biggest steal you'll ever get for this game
Wait I always thought that was useless? New strat? π€
a titan doesnt meddle in the business of giants.
Space would have smashed Napoleon at Austerlitz
Im playing as the ussr and wanted to try it put, its 18.8 now since I replaced wet ammo with easy maintenance
a master of starvation
when i want to eat but my general is space
you should've seen my brilliant offensives as Communist China into Japanese held Siberia
yeah probably
red boxes and exclams everywhere
i bought it for more but i also knew about hoi for years
60% reliability
120 mountaineer divisions, big field offensive arrow, aggressive army
stuff of dreams
just do the pact bro please
yes i love that
can i cancel focuses
Molotov Ribbentrop is completely optional
space is drooling reading this btw
what happened
no aerial superiority
ill see if ill get it it just randomly popped up today and i looked so fun
dude just imagine
you didnt watch his games bro
is it simular to conflict of nations WW3? if anyone knows that game
When has the USSR ever justified
just an fyi you will probably have to pay more since a lot of the content of the game is locked behind certain DLCs
but you can just get a subscription per month for all the DLCs
no he cant push poland
or
are u kidding me
@opal nymph
just use mods
whatever this is, it's a thousand times better
Space can I 1v1 you
Oh, bro doesn't know how to use frontlines
I am equally competent at HOI4
I will be a stoppable force and you can be a movable object
please please please let me watch it
is the game still fun/ playable whithout those?
dude
Then use your field marshal to make a frontline
i do have field marshals
yes
but, for example, navies will look a lot more different without Man the Guns than it would with Man the Guns
are you using them as generals π
Man the Guns is integrated
oh my god i just noticed why is the red offensive pushing towards germanyπππππ
ah, there I go spreading fake news
isnt that the same?
Then make a frontline with them
You have like 0 frontlines aside in a tiny area
oh no no no no
Field marshals are generals for your generals
dear santa, all I want this year, Is for paradox to allow making frontlines across multiple countries
dont tell me like whithout DLCS there isnt tanks and stuff
Use the garrison order and make it cover borders
do DLC like heavily restrict the game?
Or you simply wait until you are at war with everyone
nah, there are tanks without DLCs
There are tanks
the difference is in the way you can design and use tanks with or without DLCs
i dunno, but they aint restricting me losing to poland!!!
Just not customizable tanks
Its not the same π
That's very good compared to what I usually produce
actually i dont have dlcs
I always do 85%+
by "use" what do you mean
is the meta for France still heavy TDs
The uk is not very smart
with 5% reliability
Space, did you use your air force
the 20% reliability petroleum electric engine fueled heavy tank looking at this message agrees
I always use maintenance companies with my tanks anyway plus your division counts average equipment reliability not the tank reliability
just design, I should say
Good thing I do tank only divisions π
so DLCS mostly like act in the looks?
do they restrict what you do or where
DLCs give more game features
The org goes crazy
Org is for loosers
are they like important features or?
And often result in countries getting kneecapped initially but getting buffs for later
Important usually
No Step Back and By Blood Alone are your designer DLCs
Ironically I use those engines on light tanks
They allow you to customize equipment
Breakthrough goes hard
Arms Against Tyranny allows you to use very useful designers and the international market
Especially having high breakthrough recon and flame tanks in your inf
yea i guess when u produce 60 tanks a day u dont really care about tank reliability
thats basicly restricting the game to nothing
No
Base game is quite playable
like what how is the market and intel system behind a paywall
Reliability becomes a problem with battleplanning and fighting shit terrain, I usually keep my tanks in plains
sf doctrine...
so strong...
dont you need the internacional market to survive?
No one uses the market
Intel system is useful, but there is a base game one
This is so cute
wait until about the space frontline method
would i still enjoy playing whithout DLCS
Yeah
they should split up the territory of the uk in yemen into protectorates because thatβs historical and cool
I use the market a shittton
are mods a good replacement for them
I sometimes turn off DLC for the no DLC experience and it is not bad
Eh, sure?
What's the point of wasting my ic on guns when I can keep buying them
BTW does the game focus more on strategy or more on just spamming troops and attacking randomly
You usually want up to date guns with more stats
is there alternative of this mod which works
My up to date guns go to sf's and tanks, frontline inf can have all the shitters
Strategy so you can eventually get to a point where you can roll over everyone
the bundle with every DLC and game is 100 euro, which is way diffrent from my 8 euro budget
thats good
Plus up to date guns don't shoot down planes
Why is the uk inviting me to the allies
Up to date guns allow frontline inf to battleplan to a degree
does the game have like anti air and stuff?? artilery
also itβs funny to have british protectorates that were forgotten before egypt in base game
whats up to date guns
There is AA, Arty, and AT
It is 1939 and you own 1939 guns
That only negates bombing to a certain degree but doesn't wipe their airforce
And not using 1936 guns
ah yes
does the game advance like gradualy using higher tech stuff or only in 1936
just like timetravel
Guys I think Bitt3rsteel and Tommy need to step aside
wait until u hear about the cool 1 infantry 30 anti tank divisions
the real HOI4 king is Space
wait holt shit can i be the turkish empire
It goes from pre war to 1952 for planes
you can, I had one last game that ruled all of the Middle East
Battle for the Bosporous gives 0 game features
so no F22 raptor :<
yes u can form turan be turkish empire or do ottoman
mmm gun
Me as China using basic rifles in 1940 and pushing because my entire army has lvl 5 veterancy
i love gun
You can rename a plane to it
Wait till that washed grandpa sees the new meta that space came up with
Bro π
me as China force deploying at 10% training level with a -120k gun deficit
his technocracy will know fear
wait u also design jets??
The only missiles in the game are anti ship missiles for planes
withthe dlc
There are jets, yes
thats fun af
he said design no?
Jets are base game
not produce
(millenium dawn base game)
oh yea
oh so i cant design them
Jet engines are base game, im quite certain of it
they are
I have played too much HOI4 that's gone into the 50s to not know that sadly
People are so used to DLC, they forget base game features
π
I think you need to unlock jets to get the modern* air frames
ohh thats why i picked the other option
guys I'm sorry I have to go to bed, instead of fun HOI4 achievement hunting I need to study chess tomorrow π
(Modern for their time)
i have a feeling im gonna waste my money on a unplayable game whithout DLC
well i guess i will have to delay it until after the soviets war finland
It is quite playable
Better than it has in years
is it ** FUN**
you should ask the Soviet soldiers shooting at you why Molotov doesn't want a non-aggression pact
what are the like some really important stuff the DLCS have that base doesent
You have generic focus trees on some nations, but those trees are powerful when you know what you are doing
i have to follow a story?
i cant attack whoever i want?
Designers (2 DLC)
Intel Agency (1 DLC)
MIOs (1 DLC)
There is a justify war goals button to do whatever you eant
MIO?
But you want to go down focus trees usually
Military Industrial Organizations. Upgraded industry designers
what does that do
So you can customize them rather than get some flat stats
Base game, they give you some stats
With DLC, they give you some stats, but can be customized to a degree
hm,
i mean i dont think im missing out tooo much
Did you make a frontline with them?
what do these allied armour axis armour stuff? design?
They are texture packs
which of these seems the least cancerous to do
Completely optional, they do nothing gameplay wise
Md jet fighters be like
@opal nymph please help me make a good strategy
@tepid nova
The Juannines
You never made a field marshal frontline
wait im confused, with the design i can make my own tanks and stuff, whithout the DLC, do i still get the normal IRL tanks? or is there just a basic design for a tank everyone uses
this looks so fun
is the game purely a map game? do u participate in battles or do the troops do it for you
european nations should pay the countries they colonized trillions in reimbursment, as well as putting their leaders on trial for the crimes they have commited. millions have been killed in the righteous struggle for liberation in the various independance struggles of colonized nations, and the lands have been exploited and plundered
also is there multi or single player
Put all you're generals into a field marshal, so you avoid overstretched/cluttered front lines
With the field marshal, make 1 clean one
POland is easy to beat, so just draw an offensive line all the way over west and behin in
Further, dont throw every airplane you have, deploy limited but strong air battalions so you have ample reserves to reinforce downed planes
And keep tanks in their own armies/generals, dont incorporate them into the main infantry armies
Without DLC you research tanks and get some tanks you can mess with the stats a little
With DLC, you can fully customize tanks
Same applies with planes
Haiti being left on hold whenever they ask the french for compensation
It is purely a map game
You arent directly fighting
You give orders for troops to fight
theres horses?
Cavalry
replace african nations with european nations and you just got the treaty of versersies
until what year you said planes and tanks continue? do i get to see modern equipment or do we just fight in propeller planes
German steppe riders
there was calvalry in ww1?
The game is set between 1936 and 1948
If that helps
never knew AI could break in this game, spanish civil war lasted till 1941
Cavalry was used in WW2
oh damn
had to reset the game
Horses were used throughout WW2 when dedicated cavalry divisions became obsolete
is the game multiplayer or singleplayer btw?
Didn't anzac cavalry encircle the Italians in Africa
it is purely a map game, you ogle the screen for hours and the only thing that changes is the colour of the map
also dont the unit counts seem low? or is it just how the game normaly is
Richard O'Connor wiped out the Italians in Operation Compass with like 3 divisions where the Germans had to bail them out with Rommel
if i get this game im totaly bringing back the holy roman empire
βair battalionsβ
Surprisingly not DLC locked
Real ones bring back the Holy Albanian Empire
i can play as the roman empire?
Idk the name twine pine βοΈ
you know albania?
but you get what I mean
You can play as Italy and form Rome
air wings
shit thats rare to see
Hell yeah HRE is amazing
The first Reich
Though Mare Nostrum might be DLC locked. Not entirely sure
im glad to see my cuntry has some recognision
I once did the enver bunker challenge as Albania and killed 2 mil Germans
albania does have so many bunkers its insane
he was paranoid of invasion
fun fact lol our day of independace was yesterday
All those Albanian bunkers joining the EU raaaah
π¦π±
I once tried to play Exile Poland by not upping my conscription law so I would eventually fall.
I took 5 million Germans with me before I finally let them cap me when it was getting a bit unmanageable after I needed to consolidate like half my army
Ima just keep holding the line in poland till I have high war score
Because they were completely exhausted, i could do the Warsaw uprising
the stuff yall are discribing making me buy this game like right now
It does
Oh no... do you not have DLC
CAN I PLAY AS ALBANIA?
i do
or kosovo
where
Oh, it's there then
Yes but it most likely gets pummeled by Italy
Yes
They declare war on you in a year
Look down the political tree
like this?
yep im so buyinmg this game
Left side of the focus tree
yeah it doesn't eixst
ill cook
Bruh
Just type it into search
If you the modern day kosovo or Albania experience get the millennium dawn mod
You literally start off with 2 factories and a bloke with no guns
oh yeah
And torched
huh
but why doesn't ie light up when i typed the name?
2 factories is more than enough
There's a modern day mod with a 2000 start date
Incorrect spelling?
It's awful
no i did type it correctly
oh shit right after the war
Against Italy's 80-100 factories
Pov every nation is central America and Africa
in 1 year ill make 2000000 bunkers
I like it
italy wojnt do shit
It's my most played mod
Millenium Dawn is what if we make a war game, and put it in a time of peace between majors
can i create empires
Its time consuming tho gotta either lock tf in or be patience
And make it a diplomatic game in a game with limited diplomacy functions
wait btw does the game take 3 irl days to take 1 country
No like
delete all the front lines
Then select you're divisions, and put 24 infantry into 1 army by lickcing the + icon at the bottom
Do that until you have all infantry in an army, max 24 per army
Then all you're tanks should also go to their very own aswell, so they arent mixed with an infantry army
When you are done wit hthat, asign generals to each army by clicking the grey portrait icon in the top left when selecting the army
then once you did that, hold shift and select all you're armies by clicking each, and press the other + icon to the left, creating a field marshal, who controls the armies, 1 marshal can control 5 armies
With the field marshal, make 1 frontline, which auto assigns each general to them and makes it perfect
Turn on railed world war
im not licking the + icon
And any war would have resulted in mutually assured destruction
The only time consuming part is getting the tech up enough to produce ifv's, tanks, spaa, spa, light tanks and attack helicopters
alright
can i create empires or do u just call it a really big country
True
I hate MD, idk what features are in it
In vanilla, you can form empires
Hate how you got 6 size in all mio's rho
MD has good enough features, I dislike crashes tho
Vanilla Albania is a survival challenge though
Since Italy wants to annex you in 1938
Ice never had it crash on me past the initial loading screen
I run out of mio slots quick, especially with a more naval focused power
ill do anything to protect my nation
Rip, I tried playing as japan and couldn't do a thing couldn't even make a single 2 unit
How tf
just conquer the world
ill be considering this game yall ty sm for the help im rlly hyped up
Japan starts off so technologically advanced
Ah yes, the interwar mediums
wait guys LAST thing is it multiplayer? singleplayer?
i didnt lick it though
is there like sessions with other people or for example can i play w a friend against AI
I give up
Millennium dawn japan
Guys WE ARE ALL watching the fortnite live event in 3 hours right?
Japan starts off with 4th gens off the bat
A good 4th gen design of 200 planes can wipe out the Chinese horde stack of 5k planes
wait is the game WW1 or WW2 since if it lasts until 1948 WW2 is happening
??
how many medium tanks should i have before ww2 as germany?
It has both.
Public MP is where much of the scum of the Earth are though
what happened here then
yo
how many medium tanks should i have before ww2
all of them
so like sessions with other people? everyone has its own country
I had 3 in my game
alr
what about before war with ussr
the more the better
Yeah, there is also coop
doesent that seem a bit low no?
I had 16
did u win
Like this!
You see how its differenet?
Yeah, I dont play optimally
u have to hold shift when doing field marshal thing
jonathan ur the big tech support guy right
are the soldiiers like IRL numbers
or they they astronomacily huge
3-5 tanks before polish invasion is fine as Germany since you typically do the hardest hitting fat divisions
I said that
it has more colors
oh srry lol
Your division consists of a few thousand men
Because its a field marshal frontline
Since they consist of multiple battalions
@tepid nova this is a field marshal right???
i clicked on the field marshal
and made a frontline
its the one on the left
ohh i thought the numbers on the screen were like individual units
Yes the guy on the left with 5/5 is the marshal
Press him, and then frontline and select poland
Individual divisions
jaapnese civil war is hard
guys should i get this hearts of iron or bannerlord im in a debate rn
Yeah, I got stalemated in my game
are reichskommisariats even worth it
They make fun borders
its not looking pretty like yours
I just delete all my divs and spam deploy militias and swarm it
You had to hold shift
Worked flawlessly
Now you are doing it right
Now just draw the offensive line with the fieldmarshal, and wait for you're units to be ready to attack
I assume before the military goes on strike
Yup
fund the civil war π
It's hilarious how I accidentally did it the first time cause I was 1 div training
can someone do mp with me and help me beat russia
No, now the bottom troops will only attack,
JUst draw it along polands soviet border
ohh thats how its works
and if you want a bit more indepth control, after you finish the plan, you can hold ALT and press the arrow, and move it around, changing how you're units will complete the plan
i thought its the path it takes
oh lol
yeah thats good
Perfecto
Now wait for most of you're units to be at their position and press the attack button above the field marshal
guys if u play speficic nations, like japan, can u use their techinques? like example for japan the famous air technique we all know abt
with planes
Yes
Yes
You can fly planes into ships
theres the kamikaze ability
You can kamikaze
kamekaze is already a mission
in the gamew
this game is so perfect wtf
@manic iris This focus allows for kamikaze strikes with japan
Generic focus tree is quite powerful
The end branch of the political tree gives you kamikaze ability
isnt generic focus tree the one that the game devs havent made a specific focus tree for yet so it just defaults to it
Yeah
do u have the game yet
oh
No.. im thinking abt getting it π
The UK needs a new focus tree imo
Im debating on bannerlord or iron heatt
On Cdkeys its 8 bucks
Most allied majors do
Im planing on hetting it there
u can annex all ur puppets with a civil war
More than half of the focuses are just research boosts for air and navy
70 days for a frikin railway
And also no army tree?
Air research boosts are good though
Iβm worried with new dlc theyβre going to take those away
This game has strategy, history, kamikaze, what else does a game need
Good ai
Air research is pretty meta, yugo is currently the fastest at rushing advanced airframes
It has it
Nukes are so lame rn
You can get normal nuke strikes and later thermonuclear strikes
Can get them in 1939 too?
So wait, i fan make the roman empire, get.planes in the roman empire, kamikaze them, AND i can launch nukes
What the
nukes are so funny in hoi4
If you have strat bombers you can
I'm not too familiar with the details anymore but whenever I spotted a yugo being an axis minor, he instantly took over the air research from hungary and romania
Nukes should reduce population in the area not just lower surrender limit
tru
Idc if they are usful the idea of the Roman empire launching nukes and kamizake is just
Unreal
Cause I know USA and Germany can get advanced frames in 1938/39, and supersonic jets by 1941/42
question
sweat saves blood, blood saves lives, but brains saves both
what r the best doctrines for grand battleplan in the new update? im tryign to survive as poland
I HAVE to get this game
how do doctrines work in the new update btw
@tepid nova is this normal?
Wait is singleplayer fun?
guys just saying dont ping everyone i tried it before and it didnt go well for me
Wait is the austrian painter in the game?
I like the new doctrines you donβt have to spend 100 army xp for every single part of the doctrine
obviously
wellll i think im cooked
but u can blur his face
Can i play as hkm make him control italy
How did we reach this point
wdym
Which part?
You're tanks are speeding ahead, but I would stop them there since they are out of supply and frontline gaps
The frontline being skinny/thin, idk why, I just know it happens
Best way to fix is to delete it, and make it again, dont worry you dont have to retreat back
No
or just make him own italy
idk i just building maginot around whole europu and its just stacking from 170% construction to 40
He be the next emperor of rome
idk prob not
Should be similar speed then, Australia is another one with advanced airfames around that time
thats just dumb
who
Painter
if u play as germany
no
if u play as an allied country
yes
or if u have a civil war
That's just mp meta
The uk focus tree is small.. Like how does BELGIUM have a bigger focus tree and many more paths to take
mps are so weird
Majority of the mp games, Romania is the axis minor rushing advanced airframes
Im gonna make a coalition and force stalin and painter to join and bam we habe the strongest contry in the world
idk
no?
Same
just improved
theyre very slow at advanced and advanced is bad
and majority of games they also dont
they just get railway gun
My bad, got it mixed
Romania does improved but hungary has a bonus for advanced frames
Does each country have their own specific units and military
their own buffs yes
Own design?
with the mapuche path, is it possible to switch communist, get the mp focus, then switch back to non-alligned?
Or all same

most ai make unique templates for their tanks and armys

Can i hypothetacly control a republic country and just turn it into a monarchy
this should be my new pfp
a german tank wont mimic a french or italian tank
yes
Hm
9 times outta ten, yes
very, very rarely, there will be a set path that wont let you deviate, tho i may be wrong
Im guessing there will be major civil wars but ill just stop them the napoleon way
what r the best doctrines this gme?
yeahh sorta depends. some focus paths require a civil war
like the german one
Why did i got every dlc for free
That's if it even has a monarchy
if u wanna go non-historically
Hoi4 is on sale temporarily
You have access while it lasts
i only get the dlcs while the sale lasts?
Do have to follow their paths
should i do light tanks as germany
If u buy a item during a sale its urs forever
if ur a monarchy and u puppet it i think u can
like if u go down monarchist germany, you can switch back to facist, while still keeping the monarchist focus
I only bought the base game
helppp what r the best defensive doctrines for poland?
because before i puppeted it
i didnt even activate the plan
it was communist
defence is gonna be grand battleplan
gang getting too excited
yes im gbp but each doctrine there
Praying to Jesus
Example something today is kn sale from 20β¬ to 5β¬, when u buy it fkr 5 β¬, its urs forever they dknt take it back
is this kaiserreich
that too
give danzig
Im gonna nuke everyone and everything cant wait
SFP is the defensive doctrine, GBP has no relevant tactics lmfao
nuh uh
Im enlisting eevryone in the military since 16 no one survives
Polish habsburg monarchy easily slaps Germany tho
yea I wasnt talking about that...
honestly, your best bet is to give land to the USSR, then defend on the rivers
you cant survive a 2 front war
nvm i misunderstood something someone here said
I've received the best defensive stats on mass mob so far
Does the game include like the terrain? Like height advantage and stuff
r u going historicla poland and w'at to fight ussr and germany smae time?
lmao ive never played it so idk the focus tree and saw u were austria hungary and some of the names of the focuses were different
new doctrines dont have all of mass mob's features available in any combination
and had kaiser in it
you cant get width reduced infantry with guerilla and recovery rate
uh finaly ( the 1k division is just defending whole europe
im going commonweatlh
militia π
Whatever is the most right grand doctrine called, my memory is doodoo
but im not amazing at the game just under 170 hours
desperate defence is honestly amazing
you should do that then
that extra mp alone carries me </3
you dont take mass assault ever in new doctrine system, irrelevant milestone stats
I got carried by reduced combat width
you take SFP for defense or GBP for offense
im playing mapuche
i have no idea how ur gonna fight both the empires at once but u should stream it id watch
i need all the mp i can get
hell yeah
will ai surrender if i spam nuclear their country
Plains, urban, hills, marshes, mountains, forests, desert etc
different terrains do have different modifiers
And rivers
different combat widths, buffs and debuffs
For both sides?
huge buff
where will u stream it
why is singapore so buggy
encirclement bonus
Encirclement penalty is a thing
Guys someone help, did they actually lower the time it takes to construct ships? In 1943 now I see Japan, UK and USA easily have over 12 carriers each, and even germany has multiple every game
Large unit tactics is good for the infantry part I believe
if u attack into a tile, the battle uses the modifiers of the tile your attacking into
peak
And the defender can get bonuses on certain terrains
Mountains makes you more immune to bombing
if u want i can help u abit. it can take a while to get used to, but id be down to vc or be there to dm
If i get the game ill let you know
π
oki :3
it can take a good while to learn
took me 50 hours to get my grips, and i had played similar strategy games for over 600 hours
My fiancee still hasn't figured out the game after 200 hours
is there a reason why I physically cant take it?
fair </3
normal for a hoi4 player
i got about 500 hours, i aint perfect but i do know my way around
I did make her suffer as China back then and I carried the war as guanxi
Is sloped armored worth it on space marines?
i had to carry as italy, my mate was germany
i got to paris before him
he was still loosing in poland </3
Ive plaued a lot of simular games
A friend of mine almost took a L as Sweden against Norway
My brave 200k Estonians spawned in and pushed them back
Norway joined the allies and the brits swarmed it
There is a game called Conflict of nations it seems rlly simular to this
i hate the allies so much oml
Were the estonian light tanks involved in this
im just glad that they dont care about south america XD
I'm pretty sure that place had never heard of a tank
wait until u declare on cambodia
that, isnt south america?
thats in south east asia
ok well idk whats going on everytime I attack anything the attack gets cancelled instantly
Deorged from no supply
why does every map mod just make the map extremely dark lol
Most People donβt like being flashbanged
i love being flashbanged by a map though
Love china spamming their infantry
You haven't seen cs2 players trying to minmax visibility
Stares at myself
How fix
They keep up until midgame when you just spam close support gun light tanks
question
imma just do mediums
at what time do the soviets show up against poland?
Whenever molotov goes off, they have a free reign against you to justify whenever
Hello?
You can prolly get away with it if you give up the east
You usually get an event for it
Downgrade to 1.16
K
Otherwise you can keep delaying it by releasing belarus and ukraine
Any 1.16 or just 1.16
Soviets only have claims on their cores
Idk
Ima try 16.9
Wonderful
whats a good infantry template
i think its in pinned messages somewhere
click the gear and then properties
change one of the beta's to the one u want
whats a good infantry template
figure it out yourself
Which verision is the latest one from before the new dlc?
like before 20th of november 2025
should i switch to mechanized?
That lack of hard attack hurts my brain
no f way i was abel to take prussia from germany n now the west fron it completely stalled
5 24 infantry regiments on the german border
1.16
Hist poland?
always
1.16.9
ok thx
commonwealth
i rushed the suply hub in prussia and their units just got red supply
encircled like 7 tank divs
I'm surprised you didn't go Habsburg
is it better?
Czechs sit on a lot of industry
sorry first time playing polnad
I usually go habsburg if my main thing is bashing germany
No czech annexation for them which means they have WAY less equipment
You get the czech army for yourself for free
And all the industry
bro ts so annoying i uninstalled, i verified game files, i deleted the paradox folder and its not fixed and also its not a map mod cuz i tried with no mods
oh ok sorry
its been like that for ages
You didn't do anything wrong
lol
Commonwealth is usually the weaker path to take as Poland, well until you get all your cores in the Soviets
You core most of Ukraine and all of Belarus
my plan is to beat germany before the soviets come to me
Poland has some focuses for buffs in core territory so you'd pretty much be rolling the Soviets on anything Belarusian and Ukranian
I just don't remember much about the focus tree anymore
Haven't played it for months
i think the german ai is stupid
why r all of their forces in the south by silesia?
there r almost none in pomerania
germanyy just collapsed
The AI likes to swarm any minor nation territory you border
I assume slovakia was stacked
why did germany call italy into it when it was at 96% cap
Got dam historical china is boring as hell
wha's legitimacy
litearlly happens when communist china exists in the region
fun
Fascist China gets you the quickest unification and somehow your underequipped starting army trashes all the warlords lmao
Cause you get buffed to hell on core territory
just don't let them reach mid-end game
everyone in china has a massively underequipped army
that's because their railroad sucks
wha
let alone barely even upgrade their stuff
what does a railroad do with starting deficits
lacking supply
Guanxi and guangdong usually is the quickest to equip their armies
Cause they get equipment from their focuses
that doesnt do anything with it
what about the starting debuffs
lack of military factilities
let alone being the major warlord that is
is there a way to check ace total
im confused on how you think railways affect all of these
actually im just confused
dawg ace tab making my game crash
Spamming your army with guns early game is hilariously easy, you just buy all the guns on the market
3-4 is enough for cheap guns
the factories will be used to store all the guns insteadπ
im beginning to think unlimited vols are bad
I remember when Tibet funded my efforts to have anti air and artillery in my shitty warlord army
Thanks tibet
Easiest world tension
Bro what changed with navy, why cant I invade midway no more wtf
Now you gotta use patrol instead of strike
I know
but I dont have range ?
You get more range by assigning your fleet to a different naval headquarters or port
Oh brother
what...
Wait so how does your fleet work then
so I cant do it without the new dlc or what
I mean I still need " naval dominance"
I need to put it on patrol
but it just doesnt have the range
Click on your fleet and you should see a port name on top of your ship list
Like a button to assign your fleet to a different port
They changed how ships operate and get supplied with ports
okay let me try that
Like I had to go from Asia to the Med and begged the British for access to Alexandria port just to have range and supply there
thank you asuka langley
goated
Now watch your deathstack starve in a lvl 1 port
Im gonna commit war crimes again
I upgraded it...
the variant naming system (i have no idea how to phrase it)
the mk1, mk2... whenever I upgrade my equipment
belgium joins the allies while i have a guarantee with britain great job bullshit
is there any mod that disables that?
They guarantee your independence not your freedom of aggression
Boohoo moment
"boohoo" they joined the allies the moment they had 3 divisions left
Have fun
its unwinnable i didnt expect them to join
Time to bunker up then
How does equipment capture work? When I tried using it as Ethiopia(like 70% equipment capture rate from 1 focus) I got 0 equipment from defending and someone told me it only works with attack, but LegitBurger got thousands of guns from just defending as Communist China
Italians definitely have some guns I would get from defending and attacking didn't seem to change the fact I never got any guns
Some friend explained that a 70% increase from 0 is still 0, you need to have actual capture ratio
Maintenance companies or generals with scavenger or both
Oh ok
Ok
My entire Chinese high command had scavenger and I captured so many random tanks from people
Then I gotta do my Ethiopia run again with stealing lots of guns
I had the same problem as Finland where they have the focus for capturing but I needed maintenance companies to make it work
Are scavenger generals enough? Because the Ethiopian focus gives scavenger trait to 2 random generals
Ok
Does it work for defence btw?
I assume attrition and equipment reliability also plays a role on how much can you squeeze out of the enemy
Enemy attritioning to the point of literally dropping guns to you
Italians usually are fine on supply
Iirc they had literally no supply since I retreated to the mountains in the South
And in the North I held
i have a question people
And attrition?
is there a way as japan to make the allied powers surrender without actually invading the americas or europe
Idk how to check attrition
or just have them give up their colonial possessions
Italians will catch a lot of attrition when they're attacking from desert and mountain tiles in ethiopia
Or tiles with scorching temps
Yeah they were attacking from the deserts
And I was in the mountains since they're easier to hold
I'm only aware of 2 desert tiles on ethiopia
Nah I think I'll just do a Luxembourg WC I don't want to play Ethiopia
The aussa part
I think there are some deserts in the south?
And mountains in the North
They're plains
The south crumbles easily cause it's mostly plains
what nationalist turkish path should i go for???
I retreat to the mountains normaly
I've commited to holding as ethiopia usually
But what do you think I should use for Luxembourg, mountaineers or cheap space marines?
They waste so much equipment trying to push my ragtag militia
If you're just holding on one single tile, mechanized
What are meta templates for tank destroyers?
It has the highest defence stats
I'm going to attack Belgium in 1938 and then the Netherlands and unite the Benelux and then hold against Germany and unite the EU
Idk how to hold a single tile anyways
You'll most likely get bogged down in the ardennes
UOSROEAE was not a fun experience during the peace deal
Oh right I forgot, Luxembourg is 2 tiles now
Easier to hold cus no encirclement penalty
It is?
Yeah
Fantastic π
But I retreat to my capital
XD
hello bro
So it's still easy
Hi
But what do you think I should use?
Mechanized
this achievement was suprisingly easy it took me 2 tries only
Whats a good cost for a medium tank?
Bro it's a 1940 tech how am I supposed to get it
Oh hold on mechanisation tech
Generic focus tree gives you research bonus for trucks and then mech
Ok
Just mechanised with no tanks?
