[lilac atlas]

Coal keeps taking my factories

[zealous pecan]

poland is relatively light as long as you know how to equipp troops

[obtuse lodge]

isnt it hard to fight germans?

[paper echo]

hungary austria hungary path if you have gotterdammerung or poland if you have no step back

[paper echo]

just give up danzig

[zealous pecan]

you can push that problem off for a solid miniute by giving up danzig and then focus the soviets which are just meat w/o guns

[obtuse lodge]

i have both. i tried to find an AH guide but they were all from a few years ago with a different focus tree

ye

[stray pulsar]

should i cancel my MEFO bills or nah

[paper echo]

well for hungary you get some decisions which make them accept your demands easily

[obtuse lodge]

is hungary easy?

[paper echo]

for me it wasnt hard

[obtuse lodge]

did you wing it or follow a guide

[zealous pecan]

i dont like their tree at all

[paper echo]

but then germany does the sudetenland thing and its annoying

[paper echo]

i didnt follow a guide

[obtuse lodge]

this is the focus i have

[paper echo]

ok thats gotterdammerung

good

[paper echo]

send the left side

[zealous pecan]

i love how paradox showed how they really tried and put effort into gotterdamerung but now DLC's seem like small ripoffs of something that could be so good

[paper echo]

i like the new one

except coal

and new navy

[obtuse lodge]

this one?

[paper echo]

well i havent tried that much but it seems annoying

[paper echo]

yea

[paper echo]

zoom out a bit

[obtuse lodge]

hm?

[zealous pecan]

i mean yea, coal is js annoying, the tree seems like a copy of germany tho with democratic uniting all of the continent paths

along with communism

[paper echo]

i might have mistaken it with the austrian one

[paper echo]

i had fun with both xibei san ma and commie china

havent played nationalist china yet

[obtuse lodge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzWoiur2N1w&t=67s i found this guide earlier but i didnt have the same focus options

[paper echo]

thats the old focus

[obtuse lodge]

ah

is there a guide with new focus?

[paper echo]

also bruh

[zealous pecan]

if you got any tips for japan so i can win china early and focus on allies with actual time. lmk

[paper echo]

https://youtu.be/ieFJqz-dtQo?si=rmIiH9FgGKLd5PuX try this

[obtuse lodge]

thank you

[paper echo]

you could make collabs at the start for china.declare on the historical date and just do naval invasions at the coast

their units have little strength

i havent played japan on historical in this dlc so idk how much easy it is

[stray pulsar]

how do i get rid of economy of conquest

[paper echo]

you do "autarky achieved" focus

i think

[obtuse lodge]

bro how has he got over a full army already he didnt say anything about that

[paper echo]

when

at what minute

[paper echo]

he just spammed cheap cavarly units

[zealous pecan]

its js long(kind hard) for china and then keeping up with naval invading all the nations you need to

[paper echo]

with 2 batallions

[stray pulsar]

how do i get all of ts 😭

[obtuse lodge]

after what focus? im disarmed

[paper echo]

puppeting or annexing

[paper echo]

isnt there a focus that removes or replaces treaty of trianon

what does this do

[obtuse lodge]

the 2 or 4 ones?

[paper echo]

2

[obtuse lodge]

aight thanks

[paper echo]

he doesnt explain every bit but you can get the idea

its not a "guide" more like just showcasing the dlc but you can get ideas from it

[obtuse lodge]

ye

i wish people showed more of what they were doing instead of just skipping forward tons tho

is this production ok/

[woven raft]

Oh lol

[buoyant wedge]

why did paradox add a naval invasion cap

why

[stray pulsar]

yo, how long do wargoals last

if they are from a focus

[dire trellis]

Anyone know the zhung goutao path as a commie china

[meager valley]

There always was a cap, wdym

[buoyant wedge]

not like this

[meager valley]

You mean individual naval invasions not the number of divisions ig

No idea, it was a stupid change

[zealous pecan]

when is historical date agn

[haughty bison]

1937 or 38 cant remember

[buoyant wedge]

<@&846894118219022336>

[molten forge]

how do i know am ready to buy HOi4

[molten pasture]

poor mods got like 6 pings from that

[buoyant wedge]

😥

[molten pasture]

By looking at your credit card and seeing enough money

[molten forge]

another thing, does the main game have like a lot of content or is it mostly stored in dlcs

cus like it has 14-15 dlcs

so like @molten pasture any dlcs that are like so fun the main game aint even worth getting without em

[dim hazel]

why is fighting italy a pain so much

[pale terrace]

Scripted peace deal left the brits alive. Kill ME

[zealous pecan]

imma use light tanks tho

inf supply

[tacit dune]

Get more military factories (and more civs before that!

[obtuse lodge]

[haughty bison]

Civ greed 4 the win

[pale terrace]

Pain and suffering

Ive been at war with the allies for 90% of the game

[haughty bison]

I would've restarted

[sleek scroll]

WHY DOES SOVIET UNION HAVE NO COAL?

[buoyant wedge]

[haughty bison]

Should work i never played Japan so idk if it will actually work but i made light work against poland as Germany so gl?

[buoyant wedge]

it was a bit confusing

[stray pulsar]

its ussr vs ssr 😭

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

[haughty bison]

Why does the ussr have 1 part of your land surrounded

[zealous pecan]

i added fuel drums for the light tank bc of the lack of supply and im reasearching logistical companies

[pale terrace]

thats Belarus

[haughty bison]

Yh that should help you

[sleek scroll]

2 and 4 numbers near of civ icon,what are those, im new

[coral girder]

Swinceball or chaotic furious whos the better hoi4 yt

[obtuse lodge]

thats the amount of factories im building in each province

[pale terrace]

Belarus got surrounded after the soviets invaded the balkans and poland

[haughty bison]

Although try and abuse naval invading china navy doesn't exist

[molten pasture]

It's good to learn the game without, then for dlcs there is a subscription which I'd recomend to get I month of and see which dlc you actually enjoy or use often

[haughty bison]

Tbh there like2 or 3 dlc that are actually needed/good

[molten pasture]

Yes, but some people really enjoy other dlc

[haughty bison]

True ig

[molten pasture]

Maybe he'll get really into spies or something

[haughty bison]

He will become french ew

[molten pasture]

Or spanish (w)

[pale terrace]

[solid dirge]

No it was before dlc

O was playin

Then crashed

[warped flint]

weird

[obtuse lodge]

is there any negative effect of doing this?

[tulip thorn]

nope

The only "bad" thing that happens is -20% politcal power

[dusky burrow]

I mean you do lose out on 64 pp

[warped flint]

where do I paradrop the uk

[zealous pecan]

did it a lil later than and once you push past the mountains and heavily supplied areas near beijing, the tanks start cookin a lil

a little clapped brother

[stray pulsar]

how do i fix this

[haughty bison]

I think on the port at the east of manchester
The port in the south are always guarded

[warped flint]

Alright

[haughty bison]

Make a save first

Not 100% sure

[warped flint]

50 transports for each paratrooper right?

[haughty bison]

Ataturky

The economy of conquest is basically you racing before the collapse

[haughty bison]

Dunno the game should tell you or just Google it

[stray pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-meme-trying-not-to-laugh-laugh-homeless-gif-9458928528704746136

[dusky burrow]

welp the uk is screwed hopefully

[north spoke]

why are some states green when im building civs and others less green?

is it just a weird style choice or does it have meaning?

[stray pulsar]

chat we have one ship

[gaunt thorn]

lord have mercy

[north spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/thin-bread-goofy-mickey-mouse-donald-duck-disney-gif-530026859388491098

[gaunt thorn]

my second 50+ div encirclement today

[north spoke]

i get 100+ encirclements all the time

its just its my divisions getting encircled

[gaunt thorn]

LOL

450k men gone

[radiant pelican]

when whould yall say that your not a new player anymore (like hrs)

[candid rain]

5000

[radiant pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-meme-holymoly-cool-wow-gif-5939717812699447142

[radiant hawk]

Average hoi player has like 6742.0 hours

So probable like 5000 yeah

[radiant pelican]

only at 467 rn but ill get there

[haughty bison]

I say it less about hours and more about understanding the mechanics of the game and how everything works
That my opinion

[warped flint]

my paras got destroyed instantly

Didnt even land

[haughty bison]

Rip

[warped flint]

Died in like 1 da

Idk what to do about the uk then

cause I cant naval invade

[haughty bison]

Yh uk is a pain

[warped flint]

and paras wont work

[haughty bison]

At this point just load a save

And try again

[warped flint]

Yeah I went back to before I para\

[warped flint]

Ill just die instantly again

[haughty bison]

At this point just guard your port/coastline with cheap division and build a good navy to invade

[warped flint]

That would take SOOOOOOOO long

[chilly trout]

should i put motorized artillery and motorized or tank into a cavalery unit

[haughty bison]

Welp go have fun in the ussr lol

[warped flint]

Yk what ima try to para Cornwall

[warped flint]

There dead alreadyt

[chilly trout]

playing as poland in kaisereich btw

[haughty bison]

None

Make a tank template for tanks

[chilly trout]

im doing cavalery only twin

[haughty bison]

Which consists of tanks + moto/mecha

[chilly trout]

well mostly cavalery in the division

[warped flint]

This is literally impossible

[haughty bison]

But that just doesn't work The cav is mostly used for garison

[warped flint]

Yk what

ima cheat a little

[haughty bison]

Try scotland

Or invade Ireland

[warped flint]

meh

it wont work

[haughty bison]

And use them as a springboard

[warped flint]

ima just cheat

[oak charm]

How do you know though

[warped flint]

There litterally garrisoning everyport and its surroundings like 5 divs

Also I cant invade ireland

[oak charm]

Just get green air 🫠

[warped flint]

Thats gonna take a whil

they hgave like 6-7 thousand aircraft

its insane

[oak charm]

Biblically accurate British defense

[ivory hull]

darkest hour?

[warped flint]

Yeah

[ivory hull]

i think you have to use marines

[warped flint]

I cant get supremacy in the channel

[ivory hull]

last time i played i just put all my cas on naval strike

and they kinda left

[oak charm]

Make more boats and or naval bombers

[warped flint]

Its so expensive with all their anti-air

[oak charm]

Well how badly do you want the British to capitulate

[warped flint]

Oh wow this is expensive but its working

they moved like 70 ships away and I sank a few

[oak charm]

Who would a though the naval bombers would solve the naval problem

[warped flint]

this wont work

[warped flint]

no naval bombers

[obtuse lodge]

if i turn to volunteer only will it then cost less to go conscription later

[warped flint]

stoped working

holy shit thats expensive

[meager valley]

Is the New Economic policy even worth anymore?

+35% energy usage is brutal

[ivory hull]

dude you had like 7 years to prepare a functioning navy

[warped flint]

Like I am gonna care about my navy while I am consolidating europe

[ivory hull]

did you do early anschluss?

[warped flint]

No

you cant

[ivory hull]

you can

in

1935

the war

with italy

[cedar latch]

sigh

[warped flint]

5 perceant chance

[ivory hull]

you also get south tyrol

[warped flint]

Yeah and then I would have to invade italy

[ivory hull]

if you fight the war its 100%

[cedar latch]

I spent so much time on a save that just...

[ivory hull]

you only have to occupy south tyrol

then its a white peace

[cedar latch]

corrupted itself

[warped flint]

That felts weird

[ivory hull]

so austria + south tyrol in 1935

[warped flint]

But idk how that really helps with the navy....

[ivory hull]

idk

i just spammed subs

from

like 1922

[radiant hawk]

It’s 150% per conscription level

[haughty bison]

Wait darkest hour starts this early?

[radiant hawk]

Don’t worry though, you are the US

[ivory hull]

it starts in 1933

but the tech goes back

[radiant hawk]

you have a focus that puts u on limited conscription

[open quartz]

bro this is a roblox game they just screenshotted hoi4 and put it as the thumbnail 😭

[radiant hawk]

And you should do the focus like in 36-37 anyways

[haughty bison]

Is it a hard mod to play ?

[ivory hull]

not really

it has a very basic economy system

but its quite easy

[warped flint]

My economy has like a 20K% inflation

[ivory hull]

bro

ive never gotten inflation

[warped flint]

bullshit

[ivory hull]

dude fr

[warped flint]

No

[ivory hull]

i went down

the civ path

[warped flint]

L

war

[ivory hull]

you get war eco

for free

early

on the civ tree btw

[haughty bison]

Civ greeding 4 the win

[ivory hull]

and synthetic maxxing for the win

[haughty bison]

I always say i will do that then forgot about until to late
I never learn

[ivory hull]

you have time from 1933

so you should be good

[haughty bison]

I should try this mod sometimes after i have my fun with kaiserreich first

[ivory hull]

just play kaiserredux

kaisserreich is just worse imo

[haughty bison]

What the difference?

[ivory hull]

more schizo

more content

[haughty bison]

Sure will replace it

[ivory hull]

it is a bit laggy tho

[haughty bison]

Oh god i am playing hoi4 on a laptop i wont it wont crash or smth

[ivory hull]

dont play kx

[haughty bison]

Most mods i have are just maps and road to 56 that it

Mostly TNO map

[buoyant lodge]

how do i win this

[ivory hull]

i dont think kaiserredux will run

on your laptop

try it out tho

[haughty bison]

Yh will try and see what disaster happens

Btw what the difference between road to 56 and road to 56 rp?

Are they like the same mod ? With just added stuff for multiplayer?

[opal nymph]

Did you forget to do decisions to expand your territory?

[buoyant lodge]

yes

[opal nymph]

Well

I think the prognosis is bleak

[haughty bison]

So i can play road to 56 RP on sp with no problem corret?

[buoyant lodge]

i'll retry then

how do i give this man one of these traits

[drowsy ravine]

well thats new

[brave bloom]

uhh should I reorganize the Wehrmacht or Heed con Neurath’s concerns

[buoyant lodge]

dawg how do i do this

[haughty bison]

Uh the one one the left give better bonuses

[brave bloom]

Alr thx

[haughty bison]

Army preparation and the one below it

You can still conquer czech no need to be friends them

So no worries of being locked

[brave bloom]

also how do I get more manpower in divisions in the field and get more infantry equipment

I need that to annex Austria

[obtuse lodge]

:/ how do i stop romania pushing

[haughty bison]

Division in the Field is just the current army that you can control
Inf equipment is just a waiting game until you produce them

[brave bloom]

send those troops in the north into their lines?

[brave bloom]

Alr thx

[obtuse lodge]

bruh

[brave bloom]

?

[obtuse lodge]

they are 2 cavalry theyd just drain supply

[brave bloom]

oh alr

Mbad

[haughty bison]

Why dont you covert your cav to normal soldier?

[obtuse lodge]

i did convert a lot

[haughty bison]

I honestly don't know how to help you unless you wait till italy invade yugo or you join german faction

[haughty bison]

You are simply outnumbered hard

[obtuse lodge]

i cant rlly wait because they are pushing not just sitting there

[haughty bison]

Retreat behind the river and hold if you can?

That will leave 2 tile without a river to defend rather than the whole front

[obtuse lodge]

would it b better to restart

[slim nexus]

Idk maybe u can encircle west serbia thru zara

[crystal marsh]

can acceptance rate increase based off military power

also, can i reask in the future?

[amber rapids]

@orchid pewter what mods?

[vital stump]

I'm constantly losing faction influence as China because of "Events". What are those "events"?

[dire trellis]

Lmao how cursed

[ocean mirage]

Events.

[vital stump]

yeah that I know, but specifically which ones

do other warlords get scripted events to lower my influence?

[hybrid stirrup]

!templates

Ugh

[light tendon]

why cant i do this focus,all of british colonies are puppets

[hybrid stirrup]

Where are the templates designs and such?

Cant find the pins

[molten pasture]

You don't control newfoundland I guess

[light tendon]

i do

oh

i gave it to canada

[molten pasture]

That tooltip is a mess

[light tendon]

when i released them

can i do something about it

the last one i cant even do it

its confusing i did the same run some time ago and it worked

[hybrid stirrup]

#templates

Ugh

[opal nymph]

The events is subjugating warlords

[vital stump]

you mean fro those decisions?

[opal nymph]

The ones that arent the integration ones

The ones that have the 15%

[vital stump]

ohhhh so thats what this stands for

[green magnet]

does my div's veterancy xp go down over time if they're inactive?

[brave bloom]

I js got the Sudetenland yipeee

[dim hazel]

how do i obtain 400 divisions as germany

plz i need to barbarossa

[opal nymph]

1 and a half army groups is all you need to barb as Germany

If you have good tank divisions and air superiority

[dim hazel]

ion know how to make good tank divsions that are cheap

[opal nymph]

Good tanks are not cheap

36 width or nothing

I barb with about 16 tanks?

Because I dont play optimally

But i can still achieve the fueher directive

[heavy vigil]

1 army should be fine

[light tendon]

they have to change the navy mechanic again because it sucks

It was much easier before

[heavy vigil]

people will learn

[fallen vigil]

guys if im not in someones faction but we have a mutual war can i use their airports?

[hybrid stirrup]

Where do i find decent templates?

[hybrid stirrup]

Need to join in their wars. If that is already a thing, than you should be able to use their airbases. If not. I think there is a option to request access to military bases but i cant recall if thats a mod or not

[dusky burrow]

#1, you're going to get attacked by Germany very soon

[split bane]

Just annex them, you'll bypass the Imperial Conference one and if you did the Dominion of North America decision you can also get cores on the US's land

[dusky burrow]

#2 you should be able to turtle behind the Tisza

[dusky burrow]

they hadn't yet

[hybrid stirrup]

@dusky burrow hey can you tell me where i find the templates channel?

[obtuse lodge]

i restarted how do i sort everything out in time

[dusky burrow]

requisition the troops from your puppets but don't call them in

That should give you numerical superiority over them

well at least romania, not sure about romania + yugoslavia combined

[obtuse lodge]

i have cz troops here

[obtuse lodge]

dont they guarantee eachother?

[dusky burrow]

you can check

but typically romania guarantees yugoslavia and yugoslavia does not guarantee romania

[hybrid stirrup]

Or dont answer my question...

[obtuse lodge]

uhhh

[dusky burrow]

Uh... idk either tbh

[dusky burrow]

France will remove their guarantee in mid-1937

So you will be able to attack them soon

[obtuse lodge]

ah ok nice

[azure quartz]

I know by switching to kumul khanate, you can form the empire of china, unite the turks, and reunify greater mongolia.

But is there a specific order you need to do it in?

[dusky burrow]

no

[lost hemlock]

anyone know how to remove deflation for francew

[obtuse lodge]

i did have the troops from cz last run too though and still got decked by yugo and romania

[dusky burrow]

i see

[dusky burrow]

idk tbh

you just don't need to defend the Czech borders until October 1938

and you don't need to defend Austria at all

Just never have Austria join any wars

[obtuse lodge]

i have 1 full army of the default inf division, and 1 of 2 horse divs

[dusky burrow]

now the Germans, Yugoslavs, and Italians will have to garrison their Austrian borders

But you won't

[opal nymph]

I quite enjoy new navy

[tulip thorn]

Same here

[opal nymph]

Just had to get used to longer naval invasions

[lost hemlock]

im just trying to get the continental system up and going but i need to have the deflation effect gone

[dusky burrow]

@hybrid stirrup what do you think about the new naval system

[dusky burrow]

Oh that was for Otto path Hungary
As for France I don't remember

[opal nymph]

Im just saying, the best patrol fleets have an escort carrier and spotting heavy cruiser with them

[dusky burrow]

Disjointed government is the worst thing anyways

[opal nymph]

You gain dominance extremely quickly

[dusky burrow]

And you want to kill that as soon as possible

[obtuse lodge]

should i train more troops or make my current divisions better

or convert cavalry to inf?

[dusky burrow]

Cavalry is fine as hungary

But I think you should make better divisions

[lost hemlock]

how do i do that?

[obtuse lodge]

i have an army of each of these how do i make them better?

[dusky burrow]

rush down the focus tree that gets you the monarchist path, then you have to wait 365 days

[obtuse lodge]

last time i did this but i lost obv

[dusky burrow]

Make both of them at least 16 width

(if you can)

[lost hemlock]

ok, i already have napoleon as my leader so i think i just wait

[obtuse lodge]

16 width of pure inf/cav?

like this?

[dusky burrow]

Yeah

[obtuse lodge]

how long does a non aggression pact last

[clear dagger]

a year at least

at most like 3 i think

depends on the amount of troops on your border to break the pact and stuff

[stray pulsar]

can someone help me in #ask-for-help-here

[obtuse lodge]

is this enough armies? i switched the 2 i own to those templates. cant switch cz divs though

[fallen vigil]

JUICY ENCIRCLEMENT

[fading elk]

Well 2years into my first kaiserriech game

Besides my inefficient goverment issues which I can’t seem to fix id say it’s coming along good

Austria got balkanised but alder to join me which all their puppets did too

Italy and Spain went syndicalist

[coral gorge]

wow the situation seems terrible

good luck

the only good thing in this is that Socialist Russia is weak as AI

and that Austria got annexed by Germany

[fading elk]

My main concern is that I’ll be on a two front war

[ancient marsh]

accidentally killed jiang

[fading elk]

But I think I’ll be able to capitulate France fast

[coral gorge]

nah your main concern is that you are Social Liberal

which means you are in a failstate

[fading elk]

I’m still not really familiar with the kaiserriech political system

But I have been getting lot of those debuffs from inefficient goverment

Rn it’s -45% pp

[coral gorge]

yeah, so it might be very hard

you are potentially only at 50% the strength of AI Germany on the same path by the time of war

but then again, you might achieve a good breakthrough in France

SocRus AI is very, very weak, so the eastern front wont be an issue

[fading elk]

France has around half the troops on their border, and I have the focus attack buff 5% vs them

Itlay will be annoying

But I’ll try hold the line vs them

[obtuse lodge]

whats the requirements for hungary accepting this

[hard grove]

When a country become a major country

[fading elk]

Then when France falls I’ll be able to split them

[obtuse lodge]

wait

romania i mean

[fading elk]

Spain is also gonna be a pain but I assume they won’t be able to fight once France dies

The uk will be annoying

But I have a much better navy

So I can naval invade them

Tho I am wondering

Will the entente side with me, or the 3rd international

Portugal being entente is very handy for vs Spain

[coral gorge]

Entente never sides with 3I

Their whole existence is against 3I

You need to help them in civil wars as well

Like sending vols to Bombay Pact

Well tbh if you can hold vs France but can’t push, its best if you just hold vs France, then divert troops to Russia to push them back first

SocRus is weak

[fading elk]

Russia has around 50% more troops then me but I think I can be fine

I’m sitting between 120-135 divs rn

But I can always request troops from allies which aren’t in fighting

They won’t be as good as my divs but their filler

Also India is still in civil war

Tho I did try send volenteers to some nations

But some like Austria actually denied my help

[fallen vigil]

this is the most i can do idk what else i can really do

[obtuse lodge]

do i declare on romania first?

[gaunt thorn]

coal worst feature oat

[blazing smelt]

Brooo IDK if I should buy this game or not

[lapis summit]

Real question, since the dlc came out i never plaed austria, did they fix the bug that make it impossible to continue your decisions to puppet other country with Otto Von Hasburg ?

[quiet moss]

if you dont want to learn for 1000 hours then dont

[obtuse lodge]

i think i outnumber them now. is this winnable?

[brave bloom]

i started a 1939 game and the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was already signed. Yet the Soviets didn’t attack Poland with me, does anyone know why?

[copper sluice]

bro I am pretty sure the turkish investment thing is rigged I have only gotten single factories so far

[split bane]

They don't actually attack with you, you need to fight the Poles on your own and then the USSR will get the eastern lands afterwards
If Road to 56 the Soviets will actually join your war against the Pole tho irrc

[sudden thistle]

They never attack Poland

Because that would be screwed up because of the wonderful game coding

[quartz canyon]

I just saw a naturally occurring instance of King Edward being killed and King George VI taking over.

[drowsy ravine]

how the hell do i get everyone to stop garuenteeing turkey i just want to recreate the byzantine empire 😭

i hate my life

WHY DO THEY KEEP GARENTEEING

THE UK AND GERMANY

ARE BOTH GARENTEEING

TURKEY

AHHHHHG

[tired jackal]

they must of buffed spg 's

bc there no way

[sudden thistle]

Just do it quicker

[sudden thistle]

They did

Hover over the number

And read

[drowsy ravine]

just rush down politics?

nothing else

?

[sudden thistle]

I think

[drowsy ravine]

dear lord

that war is gonna be hell

[tired jackal]

u have to time it

[drowsy ravine]

but its better than dying to the british

[tired jackal]

there a point in the turkish focus tree

[drowsy ravine]

uh

what would the time frame be

[tired jackal]

where they revoke all guantees

[brave bloom]

Yall how do I win a war

[tired jackal]

idfk it been years

[drowsy ravine]

captitulate the enemy

[tired jackal]

look it up

[drowsy ravine]

so eventually they will be revoked?

[brave bloom]

Cause I can’t win with like 3 times the numerical advantage

[drowsy ravine]

if it just wait

[tired jackal]

there like a 140 day time stamp

[drowsy ravine]

okay

[tired jackal]

where they do a focus in which they get rid of every

[drowsy ravine]

so if i wait

[tired jackal]

guarntee

[drowsy ravine]

i can do war

peak

alry ty

[tired jackal]

not really.

[drowsy ravine]

alr ty*

[tired jackal]

just look up a video

[somber forge]

Declare on Yugoslavia first

Dont declare on rom

[obtuse lodge]

how am i even losing this

[drowsy ravine]

what do ur divs look like?

[somber forge]

You using Austrian/Bohemian Divs, they are bad tbh

[drowsy ravine]

wait wth i thought i needed the research for this

i do NOT have nuclear research

[azure quartz]

I gave my puppet philippines indonesia and malaysia as a joke and it formed the federation of malayan peoples

[obtuse lodge]

@somber forge

@drowsy ravine oops

[drowsy ravine]

?

[obtuse lodge]

they look like that

[drowsy ravine]

uhh

personally i use 7 infantry 2 art and those support companies

[somber forge]

You have no soft attack at all 🥹

[drowsy ravine]

yeah

that soft attack is kinda very ass

[obtuse lodge]

damn the other guy said it was good i swear this server is so contradictory sometimes

[somber forge]

Also half of divs doesnt have manpower

[obtuse lodge]

yea

oh i can do extensive conscription

[drowsy ravine]

i love concentrated industry

as a minor player

this brings a white tear down my leg

[radiant hawk]

Cas but no fighter line

And 2k support equipment

[drowsy ravine]

freak fighters

who needs fighters when u got cas

cas go brrr

[tulip thorn]

Got the hood

[drowsy ravine]

(im playing historical besides germany (restore the kaiser) and britain (reorganize the blackshirts)) i love how germany declared war on poland and is now at war with france and soviets

[leaden mulch]

you can build it before but you need the research for the special projects

[drowsy ravine]

ohhhh

[copper sluice]

every hit of a hammer hits the enemy

[drowsy ravine]

its 1941

and turkey

is still garenteed

dear lord how long do i have to wait

ive heard the focus tree is long but DANG

[mild elm]

bro

the new japan dlc is so good and bad

[warped flint]

Who should I play in hoi4s

sorta wanna play hungary?

Yeah man play hungary

Good idea

Thanks friend

[mild elm]

no

play czech

[warped flint]

Someone already sugggested I play hungary

[mild elm]

no

[mild elm]

no

[mild elm]

na

[warped flint]

bro

look do you not see that???

[mild elm]

no

[tulip thorn]

German and italian fleet VS United kingdom

[opal nymph]

Give yourself the naval expert tag

[mild elm]

where was this

[opal nymph]

Look top middle

[mild elm]

no i mean

mp

single player

[tulip thorn]

Single

I have never done navy in mp

Since I never play naval nations

[digital aurora]

Should i refit the early cruisers i get into carriers? and then the early destroyers into mine-sweepers?

[tulip thorn]

Converted carriers are honestly pretty bad

So not really worth

[digital aurora]

I gotta find out what to do with the bunch of early cruisers the Soviets get

[tulip thorn]

Navy soviet game is crazy

[drowsy ravine]

its impossible

i do NOT have enough divs or navy for this

[short ore]

why....

[weary forge]

pssibly stupid question but can we remove rules from a faction?

this one is really screwing me over

[digital aurora]

The Red Fleet is coming back with this one lads!, I mainly just spam destroyers and submarines aswell as a couple of light cruisers

[split bane]

Hit edit then click on the rule and you can remove it with one faction point thing (I forget what it's called)

[copper sluice]

I always make sure my navy has aura

[digital aurora]

I also have a very long plan of getting 16 super heavy battleships as the soviets

[weary forge]

ah k thanks

[split bane]

Np

[drowsy ravine]

i give up

i hate the british

with every fiber of my being

[green plume]

in vanilla hoi4 mp could germany out-navy britain and america

[remote quarry]

if you build dockyards

yes

[green plume]

what if they ALSO build dockyards

OR could you beat britain in the dockyard race alone

[split bane]

-George Washington after paying a 3% tax on tea

[remote quarry]

well if your only goal is to beat uk navy then ofc

but you would end up with a bunch of dockyards and no mils

[green plume]

goal is 1940 sealion

then mil stack

[remote quarry]

well if it's 1v1 you win 100%

[green plume]

autarky achieved n stuff

[remote quarry]

definitely don't do that

[green plume]

if theres a rule where america cant join till 1941 is it viable?

[remote quarry]

yes

or like it depends more on the player

if they don't do anything you could easily win navy

[green plume]

so like beast mode uk vs beast mode germany with navy

[remote quarry]

If I put myself on uk and on germany then I can probably ensure that I don't get sealioned

but it depends a lot on the players you are playing against

[green plume]

interesting

[remote quarry]

if germany can do the exploit with Hilfskreuzer they are guaranteed to win 100%

[remote quarry]

or ok

can america lend lease?

that's also a question

[hoary mortar]

nice

[analog ivy]

w border gore? just puppeted germany

and took resource rights and war reparations

[unkempt quarry]

am i crazy? is Man the Guns missing from anyone elses library/steam?

oh, sounds good to me, $10 absorbed into vanilla, thats fine

smh

[ornate gorge]

Ueli Maurer

[ornate gorge]

Guess switzerland isn't important enough

[analog ivy]

this is starting to look alot like the roman empire..

italy is definitely the most fun nation in hoi4

now the worst part is having to build a navy to kill the uk

and the USA

cause for some reason the USA joined the allies like 3 years after i killed germany

[clear dagger]

why is germany blue

[analog ivy]

its a puppet

of me

i have basically all of europe as a puppet

except luxembourg, switzerland and the ussr

and the nordic countries

its 1942 btw

[clear dagger]

you should put yugoslavia out of its misery

[analog ivy]

how

is it a decision

NOOO MUSSOLINI

they naval invaded rome and i took it back and mussolini's dead

the casualties i've done are actually c razy

all of my allies are puppets btw

even germany

holy nvm i thought destroying 10 destroyers was good

[fair horizon]

how bad is coal?

[analog ivy]

really bad

especially when you're a major

[copper cobalt]

Haven't had much issue with coal tho o.O

Just stay partial mob

[grand wolf]

How???

[placid zodiac]

we are at peace

[wicked haven]

is Don’t Die for Your Country still doable?

[gentle void]

cha5t

[grand wolf]

You can do it in the factions screen

[gentle void]

I got one question

[grand wolf]

In members

[gentle void]

is the anchsluss strat patched?

[grand wolf]

Early anschluss?

[gentle void]

ye

im tryna do that

[analog ivy]

idk

[grand wolf]

Nah but apparently you gotta make like 30 infantry divisions now

[analog ivy]

i dont see why they would

[gentle void]

30 for the strat?

[grand wolf]

Yeah hasn't worked when ive done 10 at all

Even with all my factories on guns

[gentle void]

HOW TF DO I DO 30?

HUHH?

i CAN BEARLY DO 22

welp

[grand wolf]

Itz ez

Just do 8 at a time

You can get it after getting to anschluss and doing an inner circle focus

[gentle void]

aight

btw

max priority or nah?

[grand wolf]

Nah all your units are already at max equipment

[gentle void]

aight

[grand wolf]

Do you plan on using infantry or tanks?

[gentle void]

Yes

Ofc tanks

I gotta rush Poland

[grand wolf]

How do you make enough tanks by then

Every time I try i never have enough

[gentle void]

I just leave 2 factories for tank

just give em a bit of production

u can always get more mills from austria

[grand wolf]

I give them a mil and let them build production efficiency but still never got enough even with 15 or 25 mils on them

[gentle void]

well once u get 1M+ mp just focus on tanks

and try to speedrun molotov-ribbentrov pact

so u can get the research buffs for medium tank

[grand wolf]

Ahh okay

[gentle void]

btw

one tip

what are your politcal advisers?

I can help u improve em

[mellow jetty]

How it took so long, or how i managed lol?

[grand wolf]

How do yall get enough for more than 4 divisions

I got around 1-2k tanks in 1940

[gentle void]

jst do the 20% spam

cuz its pretty easy

the tanks can gain passive training

[grand wolf]

20% spam?

[wicked haven]

20 divisions all at min strength 😎

[mellow jetty]

The trick is to hold the rivers and mountains behind the chinese wall and wait/pray for your -35k gun deficit to sort itself before pushing

And when you have gun surplus = get more cheap 10× divs

[grand wolf]

We are talking about germany and tanks

[mellow jetty]

10w*

Oh hahahah

Sorry

XD

But you tagged me

[grand wolf]

OHHHHH im stupid

[analog ivy]

is naval invading/paradropping the UK past 1943 impossible?

[grand wolf]

Paratroopers are ez

[analog ivy]

i have a great navy, great planes but everytime i land all of the divs just dissapear and die

they just keep spamming divs and then once the USA joins the war they'll have 50 divs on each province

[analog ivy]

even paratroopers dont do anything

[grand wolf]

Take the eastern part of the uk

[misty fossil]

By building the same chassis through the entire game

cant lose production efficiency if you dont switch equipment

[grand wolf]

Thats what I do, I do medium tanks

[misty fossil]

obviously you eventually upgrade them with better radio and HV3

Germany doesnt have to build a single civ because they can plunder it through annexing austria and czechoslovakia

so you start building tanks right from jan 1 36

same deal as sov

[heavy vigil]

which one

[grand wolf]

Interwar till I have basic then improved then advanced then modern

[heavy vigil]

ah

yeah thats how you lose a lot of tanks

just dont upgrade the chassis but upgrade the gun and modules

so you dont lose 90% of your production

[grand wolf]

Oh

Okay

[regal heron]

what is the best choice for this

[ripe slate]

Hmm Id imagine short term the puppet, longer term the occupation if you get compliance

[regal heron]

ok

Puppet them if you get all of Europe and do the ss recruitment you can incorporate them into something
