[green plume]

marines are more effective than amtracks if ur using heavy TDs

cheaper too

[junior imp]

Is the AI attacking and calling back every second a mating call or what they keep doing that

[sudden thistle]

I literally said amtracs would be more expensive

[junior imp]

cute cat

[scarlet cliff]

ik

[junior imp]

what is the allied navy doing

[fierce mortar]

good evening. is there a consol command do get trait points on MIOs fast? i want to test how they fixed the naval MIOs giving aiming bonus correctly

[junior imp]

first french units ever seen in a gazillion years in poland

[fringe shell]

which planes for naval bomber

i mean medium small

[desert echo]

What mod is this fine sir

[junior imp]

By that you mean?

[junior imp]

Supernova vs Dying Ant

same for this photo

[fringe shell]

yeah i think its gonna work

[junior imp]

your gonna win dont worry

[desert echo]

Hm

What anime is that

[junior imp]

Anime History mod

[desert echo]

Ooh

But the anime exist?

Or it's just for mod

[junior imp]

Not sure

[crude bronze]

is there a way to end a war once it started?

[split fulcrum]

rate the encirclemnt

[crude bronze]

or am i stuck forever

[split fulcrum]

win

or lose

[junior imp]

no without capitulating the enemy

[split fulcrum]

Cant you white peace too?

[junior imp]

who even uses that

[desert echo]

8.5 + 1 (because of port encirclement is goated)

[junior imp]

10/10

[fringe shell]

british briliant movement they just blowed up suez canal

[desert echo]

You can use white peace?

[split fulcrum]

Also they randomly disappeared

[desert echo]

I thought only Ai could do that

[vivid juniper]

Using player lead peace conference

[split fulcrum]

Did they get shipped away or beaten?

[vivid juniper]

I officially painted the map

[split fulcrum]

I dunno

I seen ai do it

[desert echo]

Same

[junior imp]

this little guy is abotta get touched

[desert echo]

I don't think players can do that

We've been asking for diplomacy expansion before

[junior imp]

Rarely

there is only

conditional surrender

[crude bronze]

they can just pull a dunkirk

[junior imp]

In ironman

[desert echo]

And that too ain't working properly

[junior imp]

white peace is

command only

[crude bronze]

not sure if its possible unless its the italian Ethiopian war

[desert echo]

Also, why the heck america got no nuke in 1945, in every single of my game bruh

[haughty bison]

anime mod?

[split fulcrum]

Even when theyre getting attacked?

I dont remember seeing that army again

But they did randomly disappear

[junior imp]

yes, anime history mod

[desert echo]

Instead of nuking Japan, they're nuking china in 1947 🫩🙏

[split fulcrum]

Instead of their numbers slowly decreasing

[sudden thistle]

Ai is bad

[haughty bison]

how is it ? worth the download?

[junior imp]

mhm

there is also a side model mod

[split fulcrum]

dont

dont

dont do it

[desert echo]

If you love anime style mod then why not

[split fulcrum]

please

dont

[haughty bison]

why?

[split fulcrum]

All roads lead to rome

[desert echo]

I think... That's for a different context for some reason

[crude bronze]

conditional surrender doesnt even work

[junior imp]

no

it doesn't

but it exists

[crude bronze]

i meant doesnt

[junior imp]

not a single being used it

[crude bronze]

i tried to test it out

“I am not the war leader”

even when i am not in a faction or even when i am the faction leader

[desert echo]

...

Yeah that's why

It doesn't work properly

[haughty bison]

this one @junior imp?

[junior imp]

yes check the description for models

[haughty bison]

models?

[junior imp]

yes

unit models

the infantry and tanks

[desert echo]

Also I'm still trying to play Czech properly lmao, I got Bulgaria and Hungaria, but still get slapped by Germany due to little to no forts in Sudetenland

[junior imp]

wdym little to no forts

there are 7 each tile

[desert echo]

I know

[fierce mortar]

sneaky little change. went down from 10 to 5%

[crude bronze]

even when i am faction leader it doesnt work

[junior imp]

did you click this

[haughty bison]

i only care about the portrait dont care about the unit themself lol

[desert echo]

It's not enough, I ended up with the advanced forts

So I have level 3 forts around Sudetenland

[crude bronze]

theres no such thing as war leader pretty sure it refers to faction leader

[desert echo]

Nope

[junior imp]

its the starting number of forts

7 for each

[desert echo]

I don't know about that, but what I know is if I want to handle the German invasion, I must at least reach the final fortification focus

[junior imp]

no?

just get 4-5 and they stop attacking get AT and AA too

[desert echo]

I did

Eh nvm

I did stuck them in Sudetenland

They're pushing from Hungary bruh

[junior imp]

Fortify hungary

[desert echo]

It's like soft under belly or sum

[desert echo]

Yeah I think I should

Do you think martial law good

I need to reduce the Magyar resistance along with the Bulgarians resistance quickly because I need the civilian factories for construction

[junior imp]

No and yes

if they aren't getting any compliance anyways

[desert echo]

Hmmm

[junior imp]

than use it

[desert echo]

A okay

[junior imp]

Compliance is very usefull

gets you the resources and menpower of that state

[desert echo]

Yea I know the bonuses

[crude bronze]

how do i raise world tension as non aligned? i literally cant expand because tension got reset back to 0%

[desert echo]

Bruh what nation is this

[haughty bison]

just wait till ww2 start

[crude bronze]

anarchist spain

[crude bronze]

already ended

[desert echo]

Oh...

[crude bronze]

i said it got reset to 0

[haughty bison]

????

[desert echo]

How tf did it get reset to 0

[haughty bison]

what happened

[crude bronze]

peace conferences reduce world tension

[desert echo]

Yeah but... Not 100% reduction

[fringe shell]

bro imagine if usa would use their navy

[crude bronze]

i always thought anarchist spain could justify at 0% tension with anarchism knows no borders focus

i guess not

[desert echo]

I must say that this is a crazy work lmao

[desert echo]

Eh no

Unless you're fascist Spain then that's something else

[crude bronze]

now i cant do anarachist world conquest

[crude bronze]

i am just as suprised since the allies kept on invading random nations

and its still 0%

[desert echo]

Is the only way to achieve that is to restart the game?

[crude bronze]

maybe ill just wait for soviets to declare war on allies

that happens every game

[desert echo]

No worries fam, I'll still be around here if you want to talk

[crude bronze]

next time i play anarchist spain ill set war goals at 0%

its kinda cheating but theres no other way

[cosmic bone]

has anyone else been having issues connecting to multiplayer games since the new DLC?

trying to play with my friends and i get stuck on connecting

[crude bronze]

ill put a screenshot fo world tension in here

[haughty bison]

holy the anime mod is iron man compatibal ?

[crude bronze]

treaty of berlin lost a whopping 60%

[junior imp]

surounded by fascists and communist

[crude bronze]

why does britain have 50 divisions in gibralter

i wonder what they are planning

[junior imp]

[rose prawn]

[crude bronze]

[junior imp]

Pretty sure yeah

[scarlet crown]

just had to made sure I read that right. Seems to be the only state where you dont have an issue with 0 stability

[queen bronze]

so. im so lost.
so poland didnt take too long. i did well imo. mid august to late oct
russia didnt help despite ribbentrop pact
then i go to invade netherlands
france is there helping so that took a bit longer than it shoulda
belgium i cant even get into at all
and now, russia just declared war despite our treaty
so this is just. confusing.

oh and as of rn. its literally just me romania and itally

[spiral sphinx]

did we give stalin poland

[queen bronze]

i decided to not. because hes attacked me regardless of if i did or didnt.

[spiral sphinx]

wdym

did he attack you before cap of poland

[queen bronze]

i have done one try where i gave it to him. he didnt care
so this time i didnt. he didnt care

which is dumb cause bro didnt honor the pact to begin with

[spiral sphinx]

normal stalin only declares war on when you dont give him poland

[queen bronze]

well. ill try again ig.
maybe something will change.

[spiral sphinx]

did you attack a comintern country

[queen bronze]

no
i have only attacked poland, netherlands and belgium

[spiral sphinx]

did you do stuff with finland

[queen bronze]

no'

[hazy kiln]

can anyone dm me a good tank template??? and design? for Singleplayer use

[desert echo]

I really hate how allies play in this game or irl lmao

[sudden thistle]

Wdym

[desert echo]

Western betrayal

Me using Czechoslovakia and still holding in 1941

[fringe shell]

how do i get my ahh to british mainland

[desert echo]

Germany didn't attack the poles, Japan losing to China, etc

[prisma gazelle]

do oyu guys have the link to the hoi 4 modding discord?

[desert echo]

Little entente is so goofy bruh

Yugoslavia fell first before Czech could

One more, since the poles didn't get attacked

The allies are just relaxing along with Italy who's in Axis but doing nothing at all

[queen bronze]

in this, i start against netherlands in dec 39. this time france broke my line tho. thats nice.

[sudden thistle]

I barely see France even break into the Saarland 😭

[crisp wyvern]

hey guys, imma try and send a video about my playthrough as austria

let see if it works

[desert echo]

I still don't understand, how Czech holding up contributed to china winning against Japan

[crisp wyvern]

huh, it worked

[crisp wyvern]

declared on hungary to try and form austria hungary as non dlc austria

germany declared on me and italy joined as well

[desert echo]

1940, and allies still smoking blunt

[orchid spear]

why is turkey lowkey ass without ataturk

i mean yeah the ottoman path is kinda good but without doing it, the country is straight up bad

[prisma gazelle]

Should i really replay old world blues and equestria at war?

[crisp wyvern]

non dlc turkiye players be forming the ottoman empire with ismet

but its kinda awkward to play as turkiye without ataturk tho

[crisp wyvern]

lore accurate historical turkiye in the 1930 and onwards:

[icy crescent]

Very difficult. But nice attempt. :o
You could consider forming it playing the Czechs.

[ripe slate]

Worth a good try yeh

[crisp wyvern]

i was surviving because of the fact that i have made a plan to survive using the mountain ranges as a natural barrier and forming a division line near the river and Villach for Italy's front, and for germany, they were busy fighting the czechs and allies lmao

it took me 125,000 austrians to kill off hungary and 76,034 austrians to cap Italy in the end

the czechs and allies later smoked the germans and yeah

[desert echo]

There's a reason that Ataturk has tons of fans

He buffed the country hard

[crisp wyvern]

austrian army strong

[desert echo]

Yeah for monarchy path

Same goes for communist path tho

[icy crescent]

Look at Atatürk stats.
That dood is a walking green wall.

[crisp wyvern]

i dont have the dlc to have the austrian focus tree

so i just downloaded a better minor nations generic focus tree and thats it

fun

[desert echo]

Oo

[icy crescent]

Hello, Arnold.

[crisp wyvern]

im too broke to afford the newer dlcs

[desert echo]

Need Czech expansion along with the Balkan countries

[crisp wyvern]

greater bosnia focus tree asap

[ruby robin]

Early Hirohito had the most beautiful 100 Chins i've ever seen

[desert echo]

Czech and poles have tons of potential for dlcs

Especially poles

[desert echo]

[queen bronze]

can someone give me general numbers that i should have going into 1940 as germany?
i dont know enough to know what im doing wrong.

i feel like my army is good for what it is

i could use a better airforce but its not awful maybe

screw the navy.

[crisp wyvern]

i have a mod that replaces that portrait with a better one for hirohito, im still in version 1.16.9

you may ask why

well

most of my mods became downright useless in the newer version after the new dlc came out

so

yeah

[icy crescent]

^ this.

[ruby robin]

To quote Fat Bastard in Austin Powers: i have more chins than a Chinese Phonebook

[desert echo]

Germany in my game is tweaking hard lmao

Not attacking poles and just go straight for Sov

[crisp wyvern]

the japanese and manchurian leaders portrait were missing, the ai broke, and historical games were broken too

and the faction thingy was also glitchy

[ruby robin]

Did Germany do Danzig or War?

[icy crescent]

There is no faction thingy without DLC.
Unless you bought it.

[crisp wyvern]

i think it had to do with the fact that the game thought that i bought the dlc when i didnt

[desert echo]

SEA and Balkan + Slavs Expansion, give me that paradox pleaseee 😭 🙏

[crisp wyvern]

and the dlc didnt appear at all

there was just gotterdamerung

[desert echo]

They did, but I held them off with Czechoslovakia until early 1941

[icy crescent]

Sounds like a Munich Disagreement.

[desert echo]

• Little entente, I lost because Yugoslavia and Romania fell first

Czech follow suit because Italy joined

• french lost in just a month even though I dragged the war till 1941 wtf

[queen bronze]

what nation. cause how tf do u do that
i cant even enter france as germany thats how bad i am.

[crisp wyvern]

is this tuff?

[desert echo]

Is this Qing Empire?

[crisp wyvern]

yes

fascist qing empire

[desert echo]

Ooh lmao

I went for the non-aligned path

[hard grove]

Playing any kind of Chinese country narrows my throat

[crisp wyvern]

to be chinese, one must suffer

[hard grove]

Like China is a whole another world bro

[crisp wyvern]

i have no equipment and i must defend shanghai

[desert echo]

The Philippines is arguably better than China

[ruby robin]

I know in the Old Versions Danzig or War immediately declared war on Poland if they refused

[hard grove]

I just ran a Soviet run and bro those goddamn Kuomintang suckers are just annoying

[desert echo]

Philipine got tons of buff + Batman prep time

Meanwhile any Chinese countries are weak and unprepared with tons of debuff

[desert echo]

LMFAO

What mod is that, ADHD Pro Max?

[queen bronze]

please guys. can i get some help figuring out whats gone wrong.

Which dlc is that

[queen bronze]

france broke my line this time too.

[crisp wyvern]

the fun dlc

[desert echo]

The one that buff Sweden and the other viking countries

[hard grove]

Just feed your army with guns and produce decent amount of air support if it is needed

[crisp wyvern]

arms against tyranny ig

[desert echo]

Ooh

[hard grove]

Nothing so complex

[icy crescent]

Looking at your tank and mechanized divisions, you appear to have neither tanks nor mechs.

[crisp wyvern]

i dont have none of the dlcs aside from the ones that come with the game already and man the guns

[desert echo]

I feel like waking the tiger is useless after no compromise no surrender dlc bruh

Except for the soundtrack, but I can play that thing in Spotify

[queen bronze]

yea thats part of my issue. is i cant get enough production. and so far this has been my best round for it
some do. but im helllla short

[crisp wyvern]

is it useless? not really if you dont have that much money laying around

[desert echo]

Idk

Waking the tiger is free or not, I don't remember much

[icy crescent]

It wasn't free when it came out.

[desert echo]

Yeah

[queen bronze]

5.5k med tanks short. with 30 factories going towards that. 11k mech short with 25
and thus very little room for guns and planes.

[desert echo]

Useless as in the expansion and such since new dlc pretty much covers it up, but not if you don't want to spend bucks

[crisp wyvern]

btw, these are the games i play the most if im not playing hoi4

[desert echo]

[icy crescent]

When not playing HOI4, you play HOI4.
Good one.

/j

[hard grove]

Do you have enough military factories? If yes, do you use offensive line a lot

[crisp wyvern]

day 1 no hoi4

[desert echo]

Just four?

Any other games?

[icy crescent]

Can't blame him.
I ran out of space on my SSD too.
I only play 4 games as well.

[desert echo]

Fair enough

[queen bronze]

i have 70 mili factories. and that was with essentially 100% of my time spent building them
and yes offensive line is what i use

[crisp wyvern]

i dont play cod anymore

[desert echo]

Holy smoke

All of that?

PC or laptop

[crisp wyvern]

pc

[hard grove]

That is the reason, let the army be fed bro holy hell

[desert echo]

Ah good

My laptop could never

I mean it's a laptop

[queen bronze]

how.

[icy crescent]

SPLIT/SECOND LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

You cool.

[queen bronze]

also is there a defensive specific line.

[jaunty delta]

[desert echo]

Try stalker 2, it's good

[desert echo]

Tuff library

[hard grove]

Do not use the line all the time, micro manage sometimes

Attack a tile from more than one sides, you'll probably take the tile easily

[crisp wyvern]

is this tuff?

[desert echo]

DDLC?

[crisp wyvern]

ignore ddlc

[desert echo]

My man

[crisp wyvern]

JSDAJKDASJKASD

[queen bronze]

yea ive been doing tha

[desert echo]

Cultured

[crude bronze]

they did me dirty

[desert echo]

Monika is overrated

[crisp wyvern]

cultured or chronically online, choose

[hard grove]

Use F4 all the time, check how are your supplies going

[desert echo]

Cultured geeks

Poetry final boss

[jaunty delta]

idk how you even get that screen on steam lol

[hard grove]

Should I run for an anarchist Spain fellas

[topaz bobcat]

Why do I feel that HOI4: peace in our time should have a better name?

[queen bronze]

i have been.
doesnt really help me either cause its not like i have any ability to fix supply lines when i can barely build enough military factories

[crisp wyvern]

you know these?

[icy crescent]

There are like 4 squares.
Then click on wat you own, I guess.

[desert echo]

Ah snap, I don't know any of those

[icy crescent]

🤨

[hard grove]

You should be building civilian factories until 1938, then switch to building military factories

[desert echo]

Try Miside bro, it's peak

[crisp wyvern]

KBP detected, give this man an aerospace engineering degree

[crisp wyvern]

already have it

[desert echo]

But too short for me, I hope Miside could be longer

[icy crescent]

That's kinda late.
Build enough civs for the research slot, then spam Mils.

[queen bronze]

i did that sorta

[desert echo]

P4G is perfect for me since you grind and the story is quite long

[queen bronze]

i have 78 civ factories

[crisp wyvern]

crazy how i have more than 430 hours in hoi4 and only have one achievement

[hard grove]

Oooooohhh, what about the Economy of Conquest or whatever the hell that is

[desert echo]

Yeah

Economy of conquest

Is this 1939 Ger?

I'd rather start from '36

[hard grove]

36 of course, no one plays 39

Only for the two achievements

[desert echo]

You don't know me when the first time I played this game lmao

[queen bronze]

yea i started from 36
afaik ive done what i can for that.
i am gonna seize foreign industry in a month

[hard grove]

🥀

[desert echo]

Rookie mistake

• all units stacked into one

[hard grove]

39 is so miserable tho lol how people plays that

[desert echo]

Basically letting my units get encircled for good

[desert echo]

Hardcore?

[hard grove]

Meh

[icy crescent]

Challenge.

[hard grove]

The achievements are incredible tho

[desert echo]

Not really a challenge if it's '39 Japan

[icy crescent]

Japan kind of starts strong, yeah.

[queen bronze]

part of my issue is that like.
the allied powers decided to just screw me so hard by not doing seemingly anything normal
french are in netherlands. russia didnt help against the poles.
france is occasionally breaking my line from the maginot on random loads of my save.

[hard grove]

Like capitulating Germany as Poland without giving any casualties lmao

[desert echo]

'39 China however

[icy crescent]

Russia never exactly help out against Poland ingame.
It's just a non-aggression pact.

[hard grove]

Show us the Economy of Conquest you have

I really wonder the hell you screwed up lmao

[queen bronze]

why tho. the ribbentrop should be a 50/50 russia pole attack

[desert echo]

MEFO Bills for the win

[queen bronze]

what tab would i do that with

[hard grove]

Nope, Germany capitulates then gives eastern Poland to the Soviets

[desert echo]

But I removed it right in 1936 because I play German monarchy path

[hard grove]

National spirits

[icy crescent]

Because Poland is guaranteed.
And if Soviets run into Poland, the Soviets would be instantly in the war against Allies.
While it happened differently historically, the game forces it this way.

[brittle cypress]

probably because paradox didn't want to have to adjust the war mechanics

so that soviets aren't at war with allies

[hard grove]

For example

[brittle cypress]

i mean they could just stop poland from calling in the allies

[sudden thistle]

I learned the game by doing 30-50 France games on that date

[desert echo]

...

[brittle cypress]

it's probably also to give poland a bit more of a game since you actually have to be a little better at the game to fight both at once

[desert echo]

They're already guaranteed

[brittle cypress]

what

[desert echo]

Poles are already guaranteed by French and British

[brittle cypress]

ok and

[desert echo]

Why wouldn't those two join

In a war

[brittle cypress]

they would join

against germany

[desert echo]

Yes? That's good

[brittle cypress]

yeah

what's your point

i'm confused

[crisp wyvern]

i hope that im not the only one that plays ''will of the red army'' or ''defence of moscow'' or any song that helps you micromanage or successfully do a defensive line against a major more powerful than you in hoi4

[desert echo]

Idk about what you're to say here

[icy crescent]

What was the point again?
I forgot.

[crisp wyvern]

i played defence of moscow when i defended myself from mexico and confederated america as central america

[desert echo]

That's what made me confused

[sudden thistle]

Sir u need equipment

[brittle cypress]

Add the Soviets joining the invasion of Poland, but don't let Poland call in the allies against the Soviets so it doesn't ruin the game

but becomes more accurate

[queen bronze]

thats for sure

[desert echo]

Hmmm valid

[icy crescent]

It makes playing Poland more painful tho.

[jaunty delta]

I make equipment, do the civil war, and the opposing party gets all the stuff I made?

genuinely wtf

[hard grove]

@queen bronze Send us the save if you can

[desert echo]

The west ain't gonna help the poles even if the Sov invades anyway

[hard grove]

I really wanna see what you have done

[queen bronze]

like. the file?

[hard grove]

Yes

[desert echo]

Western betrayal truly wrecked Czech and Poles

[icy crescent]

Yes.
That's how it works.

[hard grove]

I feel like BitterSteel lmao

[desert echo]

Lmao

[queen bronze]

whats the path

[hard grove]

Lemme see

[sudden thistle]

Files

Paradox interactive

Hoi4

Save games

Compress then send file

[hard grove]

[hardy marlin]

mfw when i save scum and it corrupts my entire save

[desert echo]

Bruh

How

[icy crescent]

Yeah, had that with Finland several times.

[hardy marlin]

idk

i was playing kaiserreich ukraine for like 6 or 7 hours

[icy crescent]

Anti-Save Scum technology in there.

[desert echo]

Lmao

[desert echo]

Hm

That's tough buddy

[desert cradle]

Nah

Ukraine is easy,

[sudden thistle]

Save scumming 😔

[jaunty delta]

save scumming is not the way to do because imagine if the german reich could savescum in ww2

[desert echo]

[hardy marlin]

ok but i was doing the black sea union path

i beat russia in like 6 months but i had to face the entire reichspakt which also included france

[hard grove]

I never understood Kaiserreich 🥀 how do you play that bro

[hardy marlin]

and a united austria

[desert echo]

Kaiserreich fanboys

[hardy marlin]

its peak

[desert echo]

🫩🙏

[slim nexus]

Kaiserreich my favorite always

[jaunty delta]

kaiserreich has too many buttons to press

[slim nexus]

No where

[hard grove]

I played a Luxembourg mod and it was so funny lol

[jaunty delta]

i want to see the world map expand, and not have 500 word text about kaiserreich lore

[hard grove]

LMFAO

[desert echo]

[hardy marlin]

you would have a heart attack playing TNO

[slim nexus]

Kaiserreich lore is best

And tno lore

[hard grove]

What is that

[hardy marlin]

[desert echo]

The new order

But yeah

Watch only, I have bad reading comprehension

[hard grove]

I grind achievements mostly

[hard grove]

I don't have a lot tho but still

[steep parrot]

I love this ai, out of the blue democratic germany decides to create a faction with communist sweden while i attacked sweden as monarchist norway

absolute cinema

[jaunty delta]

and then you choose the incorrect option prompt in kaiserreich and just see your economy plummet by %200

[hard grove]

I feel that

So tell me guys

What is the difference between Kaiserreich and Redux

[steep parrot]

i turned off the microphone but lowk you can tell what i was thinking even from this lmao

[jaunty delta]

idk even

ive got a math exam in 6 hours and im playing hoi4, im just failing life

calculus

[desert echo]

Lemme guess

[hard grove]

[desert echo]

[sour nymph]

[craggy trail]

You're trying to go in the server but you can't go through automod?

[steep parrot]

i only play the game because lowk it's just addicting, and i say this while i've been playing the game cracked since 2017

[queen bronze]

whats the file type of the save files

[hard grove]

Just watch normal gameplay videos, not tutorials

[sour nymph]

u wanna play?

[steep parrot]

just bought it last year

[prisma gazelle]

I enter the server, but can't get past automod

[jaunty delta]

hoi4 gives me the same dopamine that gambling does

[steep parrot]

yeah bro sure

i'm down

[sour nymph]

maybe your right

[jaunty delta]

its something to do with the colors growing

[sour nymph]

dms

[jaunty delta]

seeing your color expand in the world you know is good

[steep parrot]

LMAO

so true

[desert echo]

I think that's weed not gambling

[craggy trail]

I'll have my commissars check it out and see if they can help you with your current issue

[jaunty delta]

that too but the last time i did weed i couldnt see anything at all

[steep parrot]

i think gambling fits

[queen bronze]

ill send u the save later. im at work and cant find it rn. dm me so i dont forget

[steep parrot]

ofc

only if you're playing on unhistorical

[desert echo]

What kind of weed makes you blind bruh

[jaunty delta]

the pressure in my eyes spiked and it all went grainy

[prisma gazelle]

Thank you kind pony. Can i say the emperor protects, or do you prefer the omnisiah or the princess?

[desert echo]

Man sniffed it too hard 🫩🙏

[jaunty delta]

i genuinely didn't see anything and just curved into a ball on the ground lol

it was just too much thc for me

[desert echo]

Lmfao

[hard grove]

Do not take health advises from AI

That shit is lying a lot

[desert echo]

Especially ChatGpt

[craggy trail]

I wouldn't really know for sure

[desert echo]

I don't mind Grok

[jaunty delta]

fr but like im talking from experience

[hard grove]

This damn clanker made people suicide bro lmao imagine

[desert echo]

Wait, you sniff or smoke the weed? I think there's a difference between the two

[desert echo]

Chatgpt?

[jaunty delta]

like i remember hearing very high pitched sound and just going 👨‍🦯 afterwards

[hard grove]

Yes

[desert echo]

Damn why am I not surprised

Is there any news that cover it?

I'd like to see it lmao

[hard grove]

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/06/us/openai-chatgpt-suicide-lawsuit-invs-vis

[desert echo]

Ah you sniff it then, smoking weed rarely does that imo

[desert echo]

RIP

[jaunty delta]

sniff? who sniffs

[desert echo]

Idk

It looks like white sand/salt

Idk how to describe it in English

[jaunty delta]

wait what

[hard grove]

Powdered sugar

[desert echo]

Am I confusing weed with other drugs

[hard grove]

Probably with cocaine

[desert echo]

Ah bruh

[hard grove]

I am not an expert but yeah

[desert echo]

Yeah it's coke

[jaunty delta]

i really want a hoi4 discord user meetup sometime

it would be so fun

[hard grove]

Trust me most of us are normal people lmao

[desert echo]

True

[jaunty delta]

so am i

[desert echo]

I think better than most of undertale fan

[hard grove]

Farttale

[desert echo]

[jaunty delta]

i have a 22 year old friend who watches undertale videos, goes to fnaf movies, and then watches clash royale videos during his learning time

[desert echo]

I still remember the Umamusume vs 4Chan with deltarune arts

[jaunty delta]

he is on the spectrum so i am not too surprised but still

[hard grove]

I always forget what to choose

[desert echo]

I'm not sure but I go with Guardia civil

[hard grove]

Why

There must be a reason lmao

[jaunty delta]

i always go left path

it just feels correct to me

[desert echo]

Looking for them stability

But Guardia de asalto does give you better army

Guardia civil gives more divs if I remember correctly

But weak asf

[hard grove]

Yes

I chose civil

[orchid spear]

aye what is the best way to play albania?

[desert echo]

...

They don't even have an expansion

[hard grove]

Not playing

[desert echo]

I've played it once, kinda feel awkward

I mean, you have Italy on your neck

And you can't do anything about it

Not to mention if Italy can't beat you, the Axis would, since they would go from Yugoslavia to Greece, and Albania is just right next to Yugoslavia

[orchid spear]

yeah, the army is weak

plus you’re sandwiched between yugoslavs and greeks

[terse lantern]

Now that the DLC has been out for a while, what country do we think would be the best to learn navy? I used to get told it was USA but could it now have changed to be Japan?

[desert echo]

Philipine

Start small and tons of prep time

[terse lantern]

Mmm I can kinda see that tbh

[desert echo]

Their paths also give you a lot of dockyards

JPN and USA have too many ships, and you would end up learning nothing but feeding your opps

Those ships are crucial for pacific theater, so... I wouldn't recommend playing USA/JPN just to learn navy

[hard grove]

Should I run for two tick for provinces all the time

Is three tick needed

[desert echo]

I'd go for two-three

Mostly two

[hard grove]

Alrighty

[desert echo]

Three if I feel certain

Five if I'm high asf

[hard grove]

It is fun that I forgot how to play it lmao I have played anarchist Spain before

[desert echo]

Sneaky last stand is fun to play bruh

[craggy trail]

Let us know if you have any other trouble

[prisma gazelle]

thank ya

[craggy trail]

No problem

[worn hollow]

how to play italy in hoi4 🙏

🥹

[fickle thicket]

u do what mussolini did: lose

[worn hollow]

nvm what abt france

or britain

[fickle thicket]

ew fr*nce

[fickle thicket]

uh js do navy meta and inf

[worn hollow]

what abt focus

[fickle thicket]

up to you

[worn hollow]

why does france have such low stab

[mystic mantle]

How are they getting supply? No planes in area

[worn hollow]

they are eating themselves and the grass

[fickle thicket]

cuz they france

[upper shuttle]

What are the best formidable nations?

[heavy vigil]

jordan capital is in that tile

so they have a capital supply hub

[mystic mantle]

Amman is 2 tiles above and they already capitulated

[heavy vigil]

i know

they have only 1 tile controlled so their supply capital is there

it does not need to be a fully controlled state or a victory point

[mystic mantle]

That makes no sense

[heavy vigil]

thats how it works for any nation

[worn hollow]

who wants to do axis run with me

i call germany

[leaden mulch]

Erm

[leaden mulch]

#1239926537512292362

[worn hollow]

finished

wanna do axis run

[dusky burrow]

Probably an invisible capital hub

Yeah they can make a capital hub anywhere now it seems

[worn hollow]

i got one in multiplayer forum

[dusky burrow]

If you got some extra CAS you can use them to bomb the enemy into oblivion

If you cramp a unit into one tile and they lose all org they die

[worn hollow]

someone run an axis powers anyone? #1239926537512292362

@past sparrow stop pretending to be georgy zhukov

[novel otter]

bro things insulting people makes him cool lmao

[desert echo]

*Think, I'm not trying to teach you, I'm bad at English too

Also what's with the trashtalk here

[indigo elk]

Do you need naval dominance for your strike force to attack?

[desert echo]

No, I guess?

[novel otter]

its a normal behavior here, the mods actually promote it

[desert echo]

Naval dominance is for naval invasion

Strike force is strike force

[novel otter]

Especially for people who play multiplayer that are unnecessarily toxic lol

[indigo elk]

Can't understand why my strike force was not leaving port at all, despite my patrols finding multiple enemy ships

[desert echo]

E... Fuel?

What nation is this?

[indigo elk]

Full

[desert echo]

Weird

[indigo elk]

Argentina

[desert echo]

Can you show me your screen

Argentina?

Ooh

Repairing? Refitting?

Do you see any blue line on your map?

[indigo elk]

A ship was, but I removed it from the task force and it still wasn't doing leaving port. I can't show the screen because I restarted

[desert echo]

Oh alright

Wait...

Lemme guess

The ship is a destroyer?

[indigo elk]

It was just a fleet, full of everything except subs

[desert echo]

I've played Uruguay before but never Argentina, but I know that Argentina has a fleet for sure

Every time I try to attack Argentina's fleet, they're going to be around their capital

Buenos Aires?
