[quasi shoal]

buffs

and stats

reconnaissance isn't the only stat recon support gives

[violet veldt]

hard attack is only good if you're ating

or like

just doing regular meds

[quasi shoal]

hard attack isn't the only thing recon gives

[violet veldt]

what else

[feral hedge]

It's kinda useless

[kind vale]

I just deleted most of turkeys army

[violet veldt]

nuh uh

[quasi shoal]

armor

[violet veldt]

if you're fighting against tanks then it's useful

[quasi shoal]

against ai it is

[feral hedge]

I meant against ai

[quasi shoal]

which you don't really do in singleplayer

[feral hedge]

You slap supp anti tank and ai cant really do much

[quasi shoal]

and when you do half the tank div is soft anyways

[quasi shoal]

don't use anti tank against ai

[feral hedge]

Why

[quasi shoal]

there's better support companies

and the ai doesn't use enough tanks for it to matter

[feral hedge]

I mean if I need to I will

It's situational

[wicked haven]

why can you only give your troops theatre bonuses in one area at a time?

[feral hedge]

Not as the ussr I wont use anti tank against german ai

But maybe as greece it might be beneficial

[quasi shoal]

huh

[feral hedge]

What is that?

Theatre bonuses?

[quasi shoal]

new thing in ncns

faction theatres

[feral hedge]

The faction thing?

What? That gives bonuses? I thought it was for ai allies to focus on specific fronts

[rapid pebble]

nah i got enough ram

i just need to know how the hell do I fix my hoi4

[quasi shoal]

it does

not huge ones

[quasi shoal]

why is it taking up that much

also it's not supposed to use that much disk right

[rapid pebble]

there we go

tis lower

[hoary mortar]

nice

now gn

[wicked haven]

you can only select one regional command to boost your troops in

[quasi shoal]

well yeah

it's to balance it so you can't just boost all your troops across continents

[slim nexus]

Good morning

[wicked haven]

you should be able to boost a capped number of troops in each command

[slim nexus]

Thats good ?

[feral hedge]

Götterdamerung?

Turkey ate the balkans for breakfast it seems

[terse skiff]

two 600k encirclements

[distant knoll]

the time is now

[slim nexus]

No

Ksre mod

[quasi shoal]

is armored cars counted in either of these? if so, which one?

[terse skiff]

no, armored cars are their own category

[quasi shoal]

yikes

[quasi shoal]

fr?

💔

highkey hurts to put armored cars in divisions but it's worth it

[ruby torrent]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

or holidays

or

somethn

[quasi shoal]

guess the year

[green lodge]

1937

[rapid pebble]

ayy merry christmas

[rapid pebble]

[quasi shoal]

july 10th 1939 😼

[ruby torrent]

Btw

Italy took Paris before I could

But got kicked out

Then I took it

They were stuck at the door of France

[past elm]

Is there a way to hold the Germans as napolianic frnace?

France

[silk gust]

I have this on historical. How is this happening?

[sharp ginkgo]

HEEEEEELLLPPPPP

I'M PLAYING AS PERU AND CURRENTLY INVADING CHILE

THEY JUST JOINED THE ALLIES

I'M SO COOKED

OH GOD

PLEASE NO I'M SORRY

[quasi osprey]

For sweden is 24 military factories a lot?

[dense umbra]

Js fight them

[sharp ginkgo]

I'M TRYING

[dense umbra]

:3

[sharp ginkgo]

we're stuck at a standstill deep into chile

cause US forces came and backed them up

THEIR STATS ARE SO STUPID

yeah they just encircled my troops and kicked me out

i can't join the damn axis to get help because the game bugged and never cleared the amazonian war spirit

so i can't join factions

[warped flint]

im confused

I moved the save to the save files

and its not here

[kind vale]

This game jacked me of Douglas MacArthur

[quasi shoal]

huh

[kind vale]

Im tryna do the secret Philippines path

It made him leader of the non aligned party

But its not in power

[atomic grove]

i dont think u should play peru if u dont know what ur doing

[sharp ginkgo]

its pretty good all things considered

i USUALLY can do whatever i want in south america

its far away from europe and ww2 in general

i just didnt think chile would call THE ALLIES ON ME

i just needed steel :c

[atomic grove]

no

i mean

ur basically softlocked

besides venezuela, ecuador, and colombia

basically impossible to kill brazil via amazon

cant take guiana (obviously)

[sharp ginkgo]

i mean yeah but it's easier to get the basics down without france and the uk breathing down my neck

[atomic grove]

if u try to kill central americas too much, u generate too much tension

u get the point

[atomic grove]

why not play brazil?

or argentina

assuming u like south america

[kind vale]

Play non historical Argentina and try and get senior hitler

[sharp ginkgo]

never tried it

[atomic grove]

u should

[sharp ginkgo]

peru is facist so its a lot easier to do whatever

at least in my experience

[atomic grove]

argentina and brazil are like way better than peru

[sharp ginkgo]

in my 70 hours

[atomic grove]

fascist does not mean u get to do anything u want

[kind vale]

Im tryna do the Philippines secret path but I got robbed

[atomic grove]

ur forgetting economy, expansionism, etc.

[atomic grove]

macarthurist philippines?

[kind vale]

Yes

[atomic grove]

its not that hard

[kind vale]

Ik

It switched from democracy to non aligned then instantly back to democracy

[reef lotus]

30€ for a DLC? Habt ihr einen Besen im Arsch gefressen oder was? 25 geht noch aber 30?????!!!!!

Rent is due

too much bro

[toxic lotus]

Du bist gehe wir franzosen

Franzosen esse snailen wir musst helfe snailen

[wicked haven]

If you complete the job focus it becomes much easier to achieve

[green lodge]

Nahh

[quiet vessel]

bratwurst farfegnugen sausage nein

see im fluent german

[rocky seal]

im getting hoi4 for christmas

anything i need to know

[misty fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/germany-ww2-gif-948640742913584331

how bro looked saying that

[quasi osprey]

I am not sure if this was a good idea but when germany attacked the soviets I declared war on the soviets as sweden also.

I have 24 military factories

And 20 divisions 8 of which are paratroopers

My idea was that I can paratroop to leningrad

[quasi shoal]

germany declared tho

so it's a fine idea

[leaden wave]

make some inf and air an go ig

[quasi osprey]

I have 180 transport planes and 8 paratroop divisions so I guess I will try to land in leningrad and then send my other troops to reinforce the attack🤔

[leaden wave]

you can do that but the remaining 12 divisions wont be enough for line

both

if u have max collab u gonna get both

[quasi shoal]

do it multiple times

[leaden wave]

yes 3 agents 50% intel network at least then some resources and thats it. But its gonna take some time

yeah and have to do it multiple times

[quasi shoal]

yes

use mediums for everything

no point in normal tanks if you have spgs tho

not really any point, at least

[green lodge]

Uh it's difficult

[green lodge]

Is that a special project

[kind vale]

Nah its easy if you get 300 divisions like the ai does

Which i cant do

[quasi shoal]

dude

I have told you about sp art

[green lodge]

I had 100 and france still broke through my line

[quasi shoal]

like 4 times

[green lodge]

UH I FORGOT

[kind vale]

Bot

[green lodge]

I finally capitulated the british raj

well the top half at least

Progress

[quasi shoal]

who're you playing

[green lodge]

British Raj

[quasi shoal]

ass divisions

[quasi shoal]

oh yh

[green lodge]

Yeah there was no support

And the divisions were all in Latvia

[kind vale]

I sadly cant get MacArthur as a leader for the Philippines😔

[green lodge]

Yeah so is it a special project ?

[quasi shoal]

son

no

i've told you how to do it and where to go like 3 times 😭

[quasi shoal]

can't you as china

[green lodge]

Uh one last time

[kind vale]

No?

[quasi shoal]

at the top where it says tanks

change it to artillery

[green lodge]

Where ?

What tab is this

[quasi shoal]

of the division designer

tank designer I mean

not division

[green lodge]

Hmm sneaky

No use it to take victory points fast

I was 24 hours from Burma when this guy showed up

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-rabbit-alice-gif-9929725

[quasi shoal]

sell or keep

[kind vale]

Use em as recon companies

[quasi shoal]

or maybe use armored recon if you want

[green lodge]

So Olive, no tanks anymore switch to sp art ?

I'm using Infatry+artillery anyway 😞
Not enough fuel

[quasi shoal]

for singleplayer you prolly should

do you have ncns?

[quasi shoal]

make refineries, or trade for oil, or invade ussr if you don't have fuel

[quasi osprey]

How to fix the manpower problem of sweden?

[green lodge]

Huh ?

[green lodge]

Assam has 8 oil, building infra there

[green lodge]

Take over Germany

[quasi shoal]

newest dlc

no compromise no surrender

[quasi osprey]

What about soviets

[kind vale]

What path you take?

[quasi osprey]

Neutral

[quasi shoal]

desperate defense

up conscript laws

[quasi osprey]

Ok

Just I only have 23 k manpower😭

[green lodge]

Yes

[green lodge]

Uh take over Belgium, it's really weak, you heard ?

[quasi shoal]

that's fine for a major

[quasi shoal]

it is but they're sweden

kinda difficult

and germany prolly alr took it

[green lodge]

Oh i thought they were switz

[quasi shoal]

since ai germany can't breach maginot

[green lodge]

Just go around it

[quasi osprey]

I have 24 mil factories but most of the easy nations are taken over already

So belgium isn't an option

[green lodge]

Should've taken them over first..
Norway ?

[quasi osprey]

No its 1942

1941

Sorry

My only near nations are Finland soviets and germany

[green lodge]

When they beat up, Germany

You join them

[quasi shoal]

breaching it is easy tho

[green lodge]

try to build a huge fleet to go for berlin
Otherwise, i dunno

[quasi osprey]

Or I can paratroop

[green lodge]

Is there any focus that would help

[quasi shoal]

build cruisers and go for liberia 🔥

[quasi osprey]

Not really

I completed most focuses

[green lodge]

It's a waiting game atp

🥀

Should've taken Belgium when you had the chance

[quasi osprey]

Yes

[quasi shoal]

no

take netherlands if you're gonna take sumn

[green lodge]

Desperate defence

[quasi osprey]

Well also in thos run italy isn't hopeless germany alone has more divisions than the soviets so maybe I won't be able to go after the axis later on

[quasi osprey]

Also I already declared war on soviets😭

[green lodge]

YAH

ALRIGHT BRO START PRAYING

[quasi osprey]

Should have attacked the fins maybe?

🤔

[quasi shoal]

they're sweden

axis is at war too

[green lodge]

He's attacking the soviets with no manpower

[quasi shoal]

no cuz that'd give you a direct border that you'd have to defend

[quasi shoal]

he has like 20k

as sweden that's not horrible

[green lodge]

That's nothing
3 divisions

[quasi shoal]

and there are ways to get more easily

[quasi osprey]

That's true

[quasi shoal]

3 GOOD divisions

he's a minor

[green lodge]

3 shit divisions

[quasi shoal]

also he already has his divisions out i'd assume

[quasi shoal]

no

[green lodge]

Oh yeah he has artillery

i didn't have that

[quasi osprey]

I have 12 normal divisions 8 paratroopers a production of light tanks artillery and transport planes combined with producing coast defending ships🤔

[green lodge]

oh wow that's less divs than i have in 1937

[quasi shoal]

why the fucck do you have transport planes in production

hate this filter bro

[clever tendon]

what's the best run to do with Soviet Union in SP

[quasi osprey]

Also I researched the first 2 stages of nuclear engineering and 24 mils about 15 civs and there is an impending revolution in the soviets union

[green lodge]

discord

[quasi osprey]

So at least I will probably survive the war..

[clever tendon]

huh

[green lodge]

wait

i said decromatic

democratic

[quasi osprey]

😂

[green lodge]

shit my brain was somewhere else my bad

[quasi shoal]

why

[clever tendon]

is the civil war hard to win

[quasi osprey]

Wdym

[clever tendon]

also does the military get nerfed after it

[green lodge]

There's a civil war ?

[clever tendon]

well I'd expect there to be

if one would want to turn the USSR into democratic Russia

[green lodge]

I haven't played but democratic sounds fun

[kind vale]

Do the supreme soviet

[green lodge]

Just pincer Germany

[quasi shoal]

why research nuke stuff

[kind vale]

Just spam out 2 width cavalry divisions

You'll be good

[quasi shoal]

spam out 10 width cavalry divs

[clever tendon]

does civil war happen or nah

[kind vale]

Yeah

Every non historical ussr path has a civil war

[quasi osprey]

Well I researched most things that are in my time so I wanted to see what nukes need to be built

It was the only thing without a time penalty

[clever tendon]

are there any debuffs after switching into that government form

[kind vale]

Nah

[clever tendon]

also, does Trotsky USSR get military bonuses?

[kind vale]

Just make 2 width cavalry units and turn em into 3 width artillery units when you deploy them then once the civil war starts turn them.back into cavalry

[kind vale]

I believe so

[clever tendon]

better than Stalin?

[kind vale]

Yeah

[clever tendon]

artillery units?

[green lodge]

Artillery

[quasi shoal]

have you never researched artillery

[kind vale]

A division with one artillery battalion and nothing else

[quasi shoal]

or looked at the designer 😭

[clever tendon]

line arty is bad

[green lodge]

Nuh uh

It's great

It helps a ton

[kind vale]

Thats the point of making it every division you have before the civil war starts

[green lodge]

It did

[clever tendon]

but lack of org

[green lodge]

So wat ?
They're great offensively

[kind vale]

No

They just give you more losses

[green lodge]

If i only have infantry and artillery

[kind vale]

At that point just add a superheavy artillery support battalion

[green lodge]

I'm gonna use them 🥀

I didn't even get tanks

and only 5 mils

[quasi shoal]

that's the ENTIRE point

[quasi shoal]

son

do you know what org is

[green lodge]

No dad

[quasi shoal]

if your org reaches 0, the fight ends

[quasi osprey]

😂

[clever tendon]

but why turn cav into arty and then back into cav

what's the secret

[quasi shoal]

civil war

the other side gets the arty

[quasi shoal]

you get the cav

[clever tendon]

ohhhh right

I remember this

[green lodge]

41 org is quite nice

[quasi shoal]

is that your garrison what

[clever tendon]

with the German civil war

[green lodge]

No big boom

[quasi shoal]

no not rly

[kind vale]

Watch a video on how to cheese the German civil war and you'll see

[clever tendon]

why do that as garrison

[quasi shoal]

stats are mid too 😂

[kind vale]

No thats horrid

[clever tendon]

yeah yeah I get it now

[green lodge]

Normally

[quasi shoal]

why the fucck is that named offense son

[clever tendon]

but when turning into the other government form, should I switch to spamming mils instantly and deploying 36w mediums with 9/0 inf?

[green lodge]

I have 10 mills btw

[quasi shoal]

also org is low cuz of tons of support comps

[green lodge]

It's offensive

[clever tendon]

that should be defensive

[quasi shoal]

push with tanks

[kind vale]

Or special forces

[clever tendon]

tanks are goated when playing USSR

no matter what

[quasi shoal]

tanks are goated on every country

[clever tendon]

uhhh

[clever tendon]

I tried em with Sweden

[green lodge]

it'll get better soon

[clever tendon]

but ig I need to learn to play minors

[quasi shoal]

sounds like you were js broke

[clever tendon]

might be

[quasi shoal]

you won't need 2 on art if you don't use line art

[green lodge]

But then what ?

[kind vale]

Ima use armored cars in some of my templates

[green lodge]

Just full infantry has way less sa

Like half of that

[quasi shoal]

put some on tanks

[kind vale]

Infantry is better for defending they suck at pushing

[quasi shoal]

I js did an armored car build on uk

it's so funny

they go so fuccking fast

[kind vale]

Im using them as recon rn since its 1936

Im playing as japan

[green lodge]

Oh wow sp art

That's actually nice

Wait i'll have to update all my divs now

[clever tendon]

wouldn't Stalin USSR be best as you don't have to rebuild after civil war

[green lodge]

Yeah but you wanted fun

And fun is challenging

[kind vale]

Dont have to rebuild much

[clever tendon]

true

[kind vale]

Plus supreme soviet gives better buffs

[quasi shoal]

no you won't

do not update all of them

[green lodge]

It's fine

What's the harm

[quasi shoal]

only use sp art on like 2 guys

[green lodge]

Only like 105

[quasi shoal]

deficits

deficits are bad

worse than you think

[green lodge]

It'll fix itself soon

[clever tendon]

bet

[quasi shoal]

do not convert all of those guys

[green lodge]

Why though

[quasi shoal]

at that ratio have like 10

[quasi shoal]

2020 ass

[green lodge]

Why no full sp art

[quasi shoal]

expensive

[clever tendon]

this was literally mine, as a 10 year old's humor

lmao

[quasi shoal]

and if you don't have the sp art then the divisions are shit

[quasi shoal]

what

[clever tendon]

facebook fw it now

tho

[clever tendon]

such memes

[quasi shoal]

oh my god bruh

[green lodge]

Oh so 20 defensive divs
10 sp arts - 20 sp arts
Rest tanks (10 Light- Rest Medium Art)
Mountaineers

[clever tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/sopranos-sopranos-puss-sopranos-bonpensiero-sopranos-id-eat-her-sopranos-i-ate-her-gif-12839406395351986847

[quasi shoal]

no

I think

sp art is a replacement for tanks

[kind vale]

It is

[quasi shoal]

so think of it as you only need tanks to make pushes, and too many eats up your supply and stuff

[kind vale]

Better than tanks actually

[green lodge]

SO IF I HAVE 10 SP ARTS AND 80 DIVS, What are the rest 😭

[quasi shoal]

infantry

[kind vale]

Infantry

[quasi shoal]

to hold lines

[green lodge]

Wait i've been spamming tanks

SHIT

Maybe that's why i'm losing fuel

[quasi shoal]

send a ss of your logistics

[green lodge]

what's dat

[quasi shoal]

in india is crazy

[quasi shoal]

at the top left

menu for logistics

[kind vale]

Ive only got 12 width infantry deployed rn😭

[green lodge]

I quit

[quasi shoal]

bruh

[green lodge]

I'm doing Afghanistan

[quasi shoal]

js convert back

[quasi shoal]

that's even worse 😭

[green lodge]

Why ?

[quasi shoal]

at least as india you have the support of allies

so even if you do bad uk can hold

[green lodge]

No, i fight them at the start

[quasi shoal]

maybe

[green lodge]

That's why i've been resetting the past 5 days

[quasi shoal]

ok well you still have a lot of divisions

just convert some of them back

js play a major 😭

[green lodge]

So for defensive infatry, you think 9 infantry

[quasi shoal]

the majors in europe don't need to worry about supply hubs rly

and fuel is pretty easy to get

[quasi shoal]

how many guns do you have

[quasi shoal]

wdym you were spamming tanks

oh you switched

bruh

[quasi osprey]

That's true as sweden the only
Peaceful solution to fuel shortage are synthetic factories🤔

[quasi shoal]

use 9 infantry then yeah

[quasi shoal]

trade 🚂

[quasi osprey]

That requires giving away civs

[green lodge]

I have 9 battalions

[quasi shoal]

whoops

[green lodge]

🥀

[quasi shoal]

do it

[quasi shoal]

yeah?

[quasi osprey]

Well I have synthetic factories I have enough fuel

[green lodge]

Where do i build ?

Infra first ig

🥀

Let's see how this guys

[supple summit]

anyone know a good armour division template for a minor?

[quasi shoal]

Which minor

For some it's better to not use any

[supple summit]

Hungary

[quasi shoal]

Normal sp art should be good

Hungary can get good industrial power

[supple summit]

Alright peak

what about one for the Polish lithuanian commonwealth?

[quasi shoal]

Same thing

Isn't that a major

[supple summit]

Uh I mean kinda? I dont think their one as soon as you formit

[quasi viper]

It not bein completely full is bothering me immensely.

[supple summit]

and either way they dont have much factories from the start

[quasi shoal]

They're

Shortening for they are

[quasi shoal]

They do by the time the commonwealth is formed, no?

[supple summit]

respectfully i could care less about grammar 🙁

[quasi shoal]

Also iirc annexxing sovs is easy

[supple summit]

Dont think so no

[supple summit]

Idk how to

I never fought the soviets as the plc and won

[quasi viper]

Also, wtf is that pfp @oak mantle 😭

[supple summit]

I just dont know the right tactics and I always stock up on guns

[quasi shoal]

Aura

I thought it was batman for a sec

[quasi shoal]

Tanks

And infantry

And cas (or at least fighters)

[supple summit]

Cas? Wont the soviets just absolutely outnumber me in plnes

planes

id rather use anti air

to shoot down soviet planes

unless im tweaking

[quasi shoal]

So use fighters

[quasi shoal]

Use both???

[supple summit]

But the economy isnt all that good?

I'm just confused here

[quasi shoal]

It is?

[supple summit]

I wont even have 50 mils

[quasi shoal]

As long as you build mils from the start

[supple summit]

or maybe barely scraping 40

[quasi shoal]

Are there not eco focuses for poland

I haven't checked the tree in a while

[supple summit]

I usually form the plc as lithuani

lithuania

[quasi shoal]

OH

[supple summit]

mb

sorry

[quasi osprey]

In my game the germans are twice as powerful as the the soviets😂

[quasi shoal]

Don't

[supple summit]

nah its fun and ive seen others do it

[quasi shoal]

Division count =/ power

[supple summit]

thats always normal

[quasi viper]

I'd rather have hordes of cavalry than infantry or tanks. Like the PIE ancestors.

[quasi shoal]

Why

[quasi viper]

I said why

[supple summit]

brb

[quasi shoal]

Armored cars superior>>>>>

[quasi viper]

Proto-Indo-European ancestors aura.

[quasi shoal]

Armored cars are better>>>>

[quasi viper]

There is nothing as honorable as riding alongside your comrades into battle

[quasi shoal]

Speed

Speed is war ✌️

[quasi osprey]

Me playing as sweden just observing the destruction

[slender kernel]

damn

the pope never comin to hungary

[quasi osprey]

why cant I paratroop?

[slender kernel]

are your troops the right weight?

check the template

if there is a little insignia with a paradrop sign and a check then thats good

[quasi osprey]

it is standart paratroop template

[slender kernel]

ion know then

i hope yk that u need air superiority

[quasi osprey]

it would say if I dont have air sup

the area I want to land in is green

[quasi shoal]

Try putting the transport planes on sumn

[quasi osprey]

wdym

[quasi shoal]

Like make them put on a place

You might just have to wait too they might not be there yet

[quasi osprey]

they are in the same tile as the paratroopers

[quasi shoal]

Like order them to do smth

Also if you just made the airwing it takes time

[prisma saddle]

is the alpine confederetion peak?

[quasi osprey]

finally

[prisma saddle]

holy sweden

[quasi osprey]

you should see what the germans are doing in my run....

[quasi shoal]

Depends on how you play it

They give infinite manpower so... 🤔

[wary dove]

is agility important for aircraft?
Is there a way it should trade off with air defense/attack?

[quasi osprey]

1942 borders😂

[quasi shoal]

I mean yes but there's no solid line

[rocky seal]

should i get hoi4 for christmas

[ripe slate]

On sale the base game should be very good value, idk if it is rn

[rocky seal]

its like 15 dollhairs

[ripe slate]

Yeh that seems good

[rocky seal]

alr

do yall find the game really fun

[quasi shoal]

I mean yeah but it's not for everyone

[ripe slate]

For 400 hours or so and then I started maining mods

[rocky seal]

yea but i like strategy games so

[quasi shoal]

Don't look here if you want to ask that 😭

[quasi shoal]

🔥

[ripe slate]

first 20 hours or so are a struggle as youre mostly learning

[rocky seal]

no i will ask that

and i will look here

[quasi shoal]

You'll prolly like this game then

[quasi shoal]

Ppl here will be biased

[rocky seal]

alr lol

[quasi shoal]

Yh

[rocky seal]

electric guitar is harder to learn

and i got a blue stratocaster 😎

[ripe slate]

Great game buy all the DLC download all my mods

🙃

jk jk

I think its fun though

[rocky seal]

cool! im getting it tmmrw then thanks

if i like it should i get no step back or gotterdamerrung

[quasi shoal]

If you plan on getting every dlc forever i think subscription is higher value

[marble patio]

chat we made it through ww2

[quasi shoal]

No step back

[marble patio]

i have 3 colonies now

the one in the congo, the indes one, and some land i got in south america because i was on the allies

sun never sets on the benelux empire

[rocky seal]

someone said i should do the netherlands bc im from there

but i felt like italy to start off

[quasi shoal]

Not amazing without dlc imo

[quasi shoal]

Majors can be difficult to play at the start

[rocky seal]

lol but it got colonies in indonesia and south america i think

[quasi shoal]

It does

[ripe slate]

Not a great country to start with imo

[quasi shoal]

It has a puppet in indonesia and 2 states in curacao (idk how to spell it) and smth bordering french guiana

[marble patio]

netherlands can be a pretty fun and rewarding playthrough

[quasi shoal]

Esp without gotterdammerung

[marble patio]

IF you know what you're doing

[ripe slate]

Maybe set historical and go fascist and join Germany

Otherwise Id play someone else

[marble patio]

pretty much all you gotta remember is you have to unite the benelux and annex the indes as soon as possible

because if you dont germany will invade you and end your run early

but if you do one or both you can survive in africa or indonesia

[rocky seal]

what if i go ethiopia and beat italy

[marble patio]

its gonna be hard

[quasi shoal]

Possible

But doubtful

[quasi shoal]

Orrr

[marble patio]

if you want a neat scenario that gets u an achievement

play as spain and do the revolution

[quasi shoal]

You can just beat them 🔥

[marble patio]

hell nah bro

[rocky seal]

they call me the hoi4 demon where im from

[marble patio]

max you can have before like 1940 is 30 divisions

i had 30 divisions

and when germany came

i lasted like 2 months

lost 73k men

all my divisions in exile

had to start over in the indes

[quasi shoal]

Js lock in

[marble patio]

worst part is i didnt even get to just vibe there

japan came and invaded me and british malaysia

[quasi shoal]

Yeah that happens

[marble patio]

but we had a trio with the two of us and america and we kicked their asses so

[rocky seal]

im gonna go tibet

[marble patio]

canada was also briefly there

and australia

and then as soon as that war was over d-day happened and i got my land in europe back lol

[quasi shoal]

No

Play romania

[rocky seal]

or cyprus

[marble patio]

bro wants to torture himself

[quasi shoal]

Someone with a fun focus tree, strong industry, and minimal balancing necessary

[quasi shoal]

You can't

[marble patio]

"yeah its my first time playing so i think i'll do luxembourg run"

[rocky seal]

good idea

[quasi shoal]

Unless you like decolonize as uk or sumn

[marble patio]

honestly i cant even lie

i did luxembourg first and it went extremely well

just side with germany and if you do it right this will happen

northern france belongs to ME

unfortunately this save became outdated so i had to delete it 🙁

[rocky seal]

[kind vale]

Ah

Good luck

Is that the rexist path for Belgium

[solemn hinge]

no Roman path

[kind vale]

What roman path

[solemn hinge]

like its called vnv or smth and allows you to form belgica gaul which was a roman province

[kind vale]

Ohhhh

[solemn hinge]

mabye if i hold long enough turkey will join allies and invade soviets

[kind vale]

Maybe

[woven dragon]

Can someone help me with my Shanxi run

[kind vale]

Nuke them all

[woven dragon]

I am in the Japanese Faction

So the Nuking will be done once I backstab the Japs

[kind vale]

Why not nuke the Chinese

Do what Douglas would do

[woven dragon]

I killed the Communists

Which I am surprised I did in the first place

[kind vale]

Nuke the republic now

Kill them all become what they fear

[woven dragon]

I already DO have a Nuclear Research Center

Okay, let’s Nuke China

[kind vale]

Ain't got nothin better to do

[coral gorge]

actually so cheap

dirt cheap

well

not dirt cheap

but still cheap

[kind vale]

Spg better

Why does it have 2x more hard attack than soft

[coral gorge]

cuz they are TD

[kind vale]

Are you playing sp?

[coral gorge]

the SPG would kinda look like this?

[solemn hinge]

achievement!!!!!

[quasi osprey]

very little sweden😂

[coral gorge]

nah, this

[kind vale]

Why light.

[neat kayak]

Bro Gotterdammerung it's still a peak dlc

[coral gorge]

because they are cheap

[kind vale]

They suck

Absolute garbage

[coral gorge]

does that stat look bad to you?

actually why tf do they have so much break and shjt

[quasi osprey]

how good is my run as sweden?

[coral gorge]

this is weird

[kind vale]

Would be double with mediums

[coral gorge]

new DLC is bloated

[sudden thistle]

This is fun to read

lol

[coral gorge]

try

[kind vale]

I have

[coral gorge]

try

post the image

[safe wing]

Roman Gaul was briefly its own empire

[coral gorge]

or I can do it for you

[kind vale]

Okay lemme build up some as Belgium

[safe wing]

Also Belgica wasn’t Gaul it was its own province

Part of the Gallia area

Trier was main city n the region too

[coral gorge]

where is your double stat?

[solemn hinge]

yep. im aware

[coral gorge]

☠️ it is just 20%~25%

for 3K more IC

[kind vale]

What template for mediums are you using

[solemn hinge]

there was belgica gaul tho

[coral gorge]

which is 60% increase in cost

[safe wing]

True and Belgica Germania

[solemn hinge]

ye

anyway this new belgican empire is about to crumble

[coral gorge]

you probably don't need the small cannons, actually

[kind vale]

Ew a radio

[coral gorge]

but that reduce stat increase too

late game on max armor clicks you always benefit from radio

why not add it

tf do you want me to ping Shady over this

[quasi osprey]

playing as neutral sweden is op I attacked the soviets and defeated them so now I am huge and I am not at wwar with anyone🥳

[kind vale]

I wonder what'll happen if I invade france with the Germans

[solemn hinge]

with zero manpower and worthless siberian lands

[atomic grove]

ur neutral but attacked the soviets??????

also taking those russian lands were honestly useless

u took the most useless parts of russia

[quasi osprey]

thats the only part that wasnt contested

[solemn hinge]

the dream of a roman Belgium is dead.

[woeful night]

Heres the plan tell me if its good as soviets ill invade turkey prompting a response from romania and then I invade japan so that when operation barbarossa begins im safe from Romania and usa will never join the allies since pearly harbor never happen.

Tell me if this plans good and after this i do trotsky rebellion

[quasi osprey]

Also these lands have oil and steel so not comp[letely uselless

[kind vale]

Completely useless

[quasi osprey]

for me not useless before this I had no oil at all

[kind vale]

How nice of france to tell me no when Germany is my ally

[woeful night]

Because when I declare trotsky revolution it will be 1939

So is the plan good or I just straight up invade japan??

As soviet russia??

Because my thought here is I either turkey early as soviet and invade japan while theyre on china??? Or just invade japan and dont bother with romania??

[solemn hinge]

why trotsky? and also how are you getting to japan mainland. also when wt is high enough usa will join regardless

[woeful night]

Because trotsky my guy and 2nd i gather all my fleet in vladivostok and when japan begins attacking china

[woeful night]

The only reason they join the allies is due to pearl harbor

[solemn hinge]

in the short term yes but they will always join sometime

[solemn hinge]

the japanese fleet is stronger and they dont have horrible naval debuff like soviets

[woeful night]

I Naval invade japan with what fleet I have since japan focus on china and capitualate china and the usa wont join the allies

[kind vale]

France died

[woeful night]

But theyre spread out thats the issue and isorrow prove my theory in his latest youtube video

That japan can be invade as soviet

[solemn hinge]

wait lemme check his video

[woeful night]

And here is the funny thing about that video you can invade the usa as germany IN 1937

HOW CRAZY IS THAT

Thats why my plan for my soviet run again is to see if I can try to annex romania and turkey and rush japan before i begin my trotsky revolution

[south spear]

i think the biggest thing you can do with germany is invade UK as early as possible

[solemn hinge]

ig your strat would work but he prob took the german navy

[south spear]

USA is easy if the allies are gone

[woeful night]

True though

[woeful night]

The only reason why I want japan is to deny pearl harbor attack and I can release them as puppets when I do trotsky revolution giving me free allies for my faction

[south spear]

you can destroy allies with france early game

i have done this

[woeful night]

By invading belgium and prompting a response from france

[south spear]

oh btw

[woeful night]

By the way hossi the reason why I want romania is because when hitler attack me he wont declare war on romania so when I have a blitzkrieg debuff from german ill only face german troops since all the italians, bulgarian and hungary troops are focus on romania borders.

Just sitting theyre doing nothing

[south spear]

recently I watched a tommykay video, and I was so dissapointed that I said i will do this and ill DOUBLE down and do it twice

its the brazil own all states achievement

[woeful night]

Okay

[south spear]

I am doing it in vannila

and I will do it in kaiserredux too

not far from ending rn

i also did most brazil achievements in one game

except the one where you need to be in the allies and control berlin

i also paratrooped into rome, then died

and lost 30 divisions xd

but it was worth it

[violet veldt]

hot take but i like it when im forced into war

[marble patio]

true

also WHAT

WHY DID THE UK GIVE ME NEWFOUNDLAND

I DID THE FOCUS BUT I DIDNT THINK IT'D ACTUALLY WORK 😭

[pale flare]

[slim nexus]

[wintry swan]

Is British Malaya going to be split up in the new dlc

[safe wing]

Doubtful

[fair horizon]

yeah yeah w/e other minors get stuff

[safe wing]

One of which has a alot of resources

[wintry swan]

Because British Malaya didn’t exist like ever it was a bunch of smaller states no?

[safe wing]

And a massive population

[safe wing]

It did it broke apart into Brueni, Singapore and Malaysia

[fair horizon]

good for them y'know? getting to be a sideline in the australia dlc

[fringe shell]

[fair horizon]

i want to conscript half my population as australia

[green lodge]

[shy temple]

[shy temple]

[quiet vessel]

[fair horizon]

if i say yes will it release sooner?

[safe wing]

Since always

[shy temple]

what ideology you play as?

non aligated or democratic?

[silver lodge]

I'm not sure if those restrictions go away if you get a wargoal or not

But I think some of the NCNS dev diaries suggested something like them would be added

[atomic grove]

still useless

and honestly just not worth it to guard

virtually no supply, bad terrain, large border, and no manpower

[lunar smelt]

Hi how is everyone.

[supple pawn]

Playing as britain is nice but something's missing

someone from bomber command is not present in high command

[kind vale]

Invade france

[supple pawn]

an artist of explosive strokes

wondering why he is not in the game?

[molten forge]

What HOI4 dlcs are like the most worth it

[analog wave]
