... good?
?
Do you have a coastal guard?
I genuinely do not know
Check your... coast?
I have ships
I’m new I’m sorry lol
No, it's fine.
Do not push too much.
Wait for your guns to be produced and ask for lend lease.
Build more mills and you should be fine.
Asking nations for equipment.
When you rightclick a nation, in the diplomatic tab.
Yeah, that's lend lease.
POV: the hosts WiFi had a colective brainfart:
I got so lucky
the Soviet AI forgot to defend my lost fort tile
with more than 1 dying ant
so I took it back
was so close
I have also officially killed 550K soviets
am i the only one that wants hybrid battleships=
Depends
defensive or offensive artillery or pure infantry?
.
I’m mostly infantry lol
Yeah but does your divisions have artillery line battalions
I have one artillery thing per division
for example this is pure inf
than go uh
Superior Fire Power
too small my guy
?
that may work for port guards
I need more people in Ït?
atleast 8 infantry divs
I have 9 now
that works too
Oh I can make paratroopers now
please tell me you make battle paratroopers.
What are those
basically instant of going many paratroopers you go for paratroopers which have some bite in them
guys what are some fun achievements to do
What
they dont have to be magic but 6 paratroopers with support artillery often do the job
How do I use paratroopers?
50 transport planes
Uh
are required
See uh
and air supremacy
I don’t think I have a single transport plane
Wait how do I know I’m selecting a transport plane
im gonna start a germany playthrough and i hope i will capp the allies this time'
am i the only one that still wants BattleCarriers in basegame?
man this game is annoying
is there something I can do when the AI keeps infinitely cycling divs on a tile so that they never urn out?
get higher speed
How do I make a peace deal?
anyone wanna play as the balkans and just fight against the axis
How do I make a peace deal?
i am just giving you the warning that my WiFi sucks
5-6 more people
nah he would just throw a rock from space to your exact coordinates
peak
who will you be?
lets be honest some nations arent needed
ro
Guh.
Can someone tell me how to make a peace deal?
i mean maybe but it would be more interesting if we had a yugoslavia, greece, albania, bulgaria, turkey and maybe
hungary
no mods right?
win the war
no
alr
I don’t want Croatia getting all the land 😭 all the land Ï claim goes to Croatia

Grraahhhhhhh
oh nvm i guess theres eagles on the shield in thier flag
Yepp
i just had the craziest mp campaign
ww2 in 1937 cuz germany declared on france
hang on i left i miss the quiet playing in my room
i remember once my friend asked me to stop helping him as italy, he capped in 39
ah man that was so fast
Took me 4 hours, but the british finally let me sink the hood
congrats
Darkest hour is actually really fun
Idk why there arent more yt vids on it
It seems to be really well made
who should I play in hoi4
I remember I got that achievement not on purpose when doing naval germany
that was fun
luxembourg
no
why?
I want to be a bigger country
sure
👍
is this a good div with the german doctrine for better motorised
why can australia just steal indonesia
Huh
when you turn 44 on the 7th of january you will get 462 K on your birthday and you will have 28 presents waiting under 77 seconds when your daughter turns 30
@primal jasper
An arabic copy of mein kampf being distributed by Hamas uses the HOI4 portrait
which doctrines are that
Signal company and logistics
Is what I would add
True
You should add 9 more motorized
I usually either do 9/2 or 9/4 late game
But anyways yeah I'd probably go with a full 18/0 build for motorized
Are you pulling my leg
I guess I'm just to unc for you Meta players
I love my flame tanks and you can't take them away!!!!!
i finally got through russia lol
I mean everyone has different playstyles
Oh yeah flame tanks are nice
There's an issue of making them 12 kmh though to catch up with motorized
If you could though, replace the motorized recon with light tank recon for more breakthrough
all that oil just for 101.6 soft attack? just get mechs and spgs
should i get god of war ragnorok F1 25 or smth else
what do I even do now
I cant do anything
if I go invade iraq, the british will invade me from both sides
I cant take turkey cause then the allies and axis will kick my ahh
accept deaft
never letting ai cook peace conferences again
Invade iraq ofc
meh im not doing the run anymore
bro stop spamming
The allies are losing all of africa
so I have to fight the entire axis there
Has barbarossa happened yet
nah
Stay Neutral Then
no get a job instead of being in here its 20 bucks minimum wage is 7.5
an hour
not our problem
then leave
Pretty sure it goes to 15$ sometimes to
not everytime but I think I have seen it at 15
never seen it go to 15
no mf knows u
and ya think anyone cares about buying a stranger a game on steam
Please do not beg for the game, it isnt exactly a primary need in life
finally mods stepped in
Am I the only one crashing around the time yemen starts blowing up
do croatia world conquest
WAIT YOURE the real john parker?
civil war
Any exceptions (besides having 1 territory)
no
Not even like for big nations?
if they have 1 state then political discussions
otherwise civil war
for xp
And do you just delete army and recreate it on your side ir
no half the military goes to u
if u want to cheese make ur entire army 2 width arty pre civil war then retrain good divs
Algeria and Tunisia is having a best day
We don't know
No?
At least I don't know how to help
I was thinking of doing something hyper stupif
I'm running bandit war stuff I got that 1 general u get right after that
Can't really help since am one of the newer people still
I got the -100% division creating cost for cavs on there
Come up with something dude
Come up with SOMEthing
Idk bruv, I usually combine my infantry with a bit of artillery and set up my country with anti air and focus on air superiority
THE ALLIES CANT EVEN PUSH PAST SICILY BRO I'M NEVER GOING HOME 😭
Maybe the same with cavalry and mobile artillery
Or tanks with the same speed as cav and max armor/softattack
Maybe 631 with artillery?
Idk y u can't alter camicie nere or y they don't get some kind of suppression buff in occupations
631?
Let me also check some cavalry + mobile infantry templates on the internet
Is cavalry your main unit?
Oh yea
And you have light tanks developed or not really?
New update is peak
What you playing
benelux
Gl
I got the 1st improvement researched but that's it
And the year is?
1938
No you wont
alr saved
no
mods ban beam link
I meant to send image idiot
image perms u get at level 20
@manic gate basically first 2 rows do 3 cavalry
they messed it up again
Third and fourth row light tanks
Same idea
5th row do 1 anti mobile vehicles
I'd reccomend engineer and hospital support
Understood @manic gate ?
Can someone help me?
I’m trying to make a peace deal with Yugoslavia where I get all the land but Germany Ïs also in the war aswell as Croatia
Sounds good, I wasn't thinking to use engineers w/o infantry
I don't plan on entrenching just pushing through little breaks real fast
Hearts of Iron
2
I just got done as hitlers germany, and it kinda sucks compliance wise imo. Is there a way to fix or improve that?
good news guys
we won the war in the pacific
even if we are losing against the axis
i control okinawa now
now the americans can get back to doing useful things
i wonder if anybody playing on benelux has annexed part of japan before
prolly not
How do I gain manpower quickly?
you like map painting?
guys i think i might be saved
italy had a civil war and the american troops got in
d-day finally happened guys i can go home in 2 years

Habsburgs 4l
inbreeding final boss
nah it's not the final one
i am still thinking if i should leave it at russia
or tackle the USA too
idk why the british wanted to compete but ight
Yo the siege artillery commander ability is op. Using 2 36 width light tank divisions I’m pushing 4 French divisions including a mountaineer off of the maggot with it.

How hard is germnay ? 🥀
guys what should I do playing as communist china
Use militias
they are overpowered
I couldnt fight japan and eveytime I wasnt ready, they declared on me
with the new doctrines
what are the new doctrines?
This sistem
let me give you the good ones for commie china
People militia on far left
cool, do I need artillery and tanks or just infantry?
And guerilla on far right
Support arty is enough
and aa
tanks
these rlly helps fr, cuz idk what to put
oh but researching tanks and creating them need a lot of equipment isnt it
I am afraid that I wasnt ready building up my country and japan declared on me
Do the raids and border conflicts
and then expand to the coastline
the two nations
how so
the ROC always lose, but I dont wanna join them in the early
xibei san ma and shanxi?
Hebei chahar
And shandong
idk if they are
let me check really quick
sorry, was new to the game I have alot of question
oh u are playing hungary
I said corect
I thought was china
is this multiplayer
do you have all the dlcs?
oh and another proof that militias are busted
With money
how so
the old version bugged?
Austria Game
only militias
Only militias and air
No compromise no surrender
but before buying it
buy No step back and By blood alone
they add vital things to the game
such as reworked supply , tanks , officer corps (NSB)
Air (BBA)
then buy whatever expansion you want
but imo these two are vital
where do I find them?
Steam
in steam or paradox
wait
ultimate bundle?
bba and nsb aren't on the pdx store
when i bought the game again
i bought the ultimate bundle
and then bought Gotterdammerung separate
it was 20 december 2024
then bough the dlcs individually
dang the ultimate bundle was around 1K HKD
such as Graveyard of empires and finally NCNS
Hong kong nice
Gotterdammerung
okay I saw the blood alone and gotterdammerung u said
Are you guys seriously still not done with the dlc
so these are the new dlc?
Ive seen people talkin bout buying dlc like 2-3 days ago
cuz I am new to this HOI4
I just brought this game 2 days ago
special projects, new ahistorical stuff for Germany , new Hungarian focus tree , new Belgian focus tree , new focus for the Belgian Congo and new focus tree for Austria ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
ok
Maybe it was a different person
Bro let the guy know what to buy
its been a few days
its a different person
to not buy bad dlcs before the essential one
prob wasnt me I just joined this server minutes ago not even half an hour

Yeah
My advice is to buy the ultimate bundle
it's expensive yes
but you get the most value of it
I couldnt afford that tho 😭
rather than buying them individually
try on someone account the dlcs
or via familly share
and then buy them for yourself
oh
you test for example
No step back via familly share from someone
see how is it
and then buy it for you acc
okay it's alright, can I just get the No compromise and NO surrender dlc
cuz I notice that the vanilla's and the new dlc are different especially nation focuses and research
Some focuses are shoved in dlcs
what is it
No step back!!!!!
and By blood alone
But no step back first
no step back refreshes the soviets , Poland
and adds a national focus tree for the baltics
kinda rushed for the baltics
but it is what it is
This is no step back
By blood alone
Arms against tyranny ( my fav one)
Gotterdammerung
okay does this effect asia countries
NCNS
And there is la resistance
but i suggest getting this one the last for expansions
I think for communist china will need this?
yep
okay thanks I should check it out
the communist china kinda fun tbh
it is
cuz they dont have a lot in the starting, u gonna build up one by one
do we train soldiers in starting
and speed the time up?
or we just gonna justify on other countries
always train new units
but equip them
is better to have 48 fully equipped divisions
than having 120 barebone divisons
bro
it's an example
a comparison
get an army that you feel comfortable going to war with
ah alright, but for how do I gain more equipment and MP to train more soldiers
sometimes the recruitment can work but sometimes it shows up "!"
send a screenshoot about the "!" sign
Like here?
That's when you don't have a specific type of equipment
to start training a new division
!!! Start training a new one, not already training!!!
Yeah i can take down this bear
Millitary factories
or the market
if you have arms against tyranny
the dlc?
yes
the market is not that important
it's a good thing to have
but it's mostly forgetable
imo it's easier commie china before the dlc
cuz you can expand in the other warlords
shanxi , xibei san ma , and sinkiang
oh
increase conscription
cuz just now my MP just went from 600K to 0
from where to find this thingy?
This is the economy tab
might have question later but I think I have learnt some from u
you start at civilian economy
and you have to work your way down
either to partial mobilisation or war economy
Glad i could help
okay, I only got 1 factory should it be CIV or Military?
What country should I play
China
i really want an operation to remove guarantees
Not historical ones
such as british guarantee of poland
stupid ones
LIKE CANADA GUARANTEEING HAITI
in my recent Mexico run
They should like make distance a factor
Something to nerf guarantees
so like if argentinia invades uruguay britain doesnt gurantee them
Bc i don't want to fight Britain over a sliver of land
But only issue is colonys...
Yeah there very easy to invade
if you are an average player
which knows his way around with templates and maybe a lill bit of air
air is king
against Britain
Meh you dont even need air
just basic infantry
get like 3 ports then theres nothing they can do against you
tbh when i fight britain
i don't cap
but kill their divisions one by one
then cap them
thats just evil
I dont really kill their divisions cause I only really play communist germany when I naval invade them
and you can core the british with communist germany
and yes i hate britain
it's a game bro it's not that deep
there aren't war crimes in this game
Britain f over 200 of my runs
millions surrounded? KILL THEM ALL
in many ways
guarantees . not going the route i want, shoving the US down my throat very early on
is this evil? :)))))
should i take the US down ?
this is accurate btw
start of the game
you should have a civ and a mill
Anti air
ok
do you want my strat?
sure
When you have 10 hours playtime on Hearts of Iron 4 vs. 1000 hours of Hearts of Iron IV playtime lmao. Don't ask what people with 1000 hours have on HOI4 though. You don't want to know what that much HOI4 does to you...

Hey, I’m ayooluwatomiwa.
I’m a student who’s into gaming and character modeling. I enjoy games with strong character design and creative worlds, and I like being around people who share that interest.
When I’m not studying, I’m usually gaming, checking out different character styles, or working on small creative things on the side.
I joined to connect with others who enjoy gaming and character modeling and to share ideas, interests, and good conversations. If that’s you, feel free to say hi.
Should I focus the foreign investor for my equipment?
Wow finished that really fast
Tonight, I learned just how bad I am at the game in Ironman mode with no mods.
Here's me sucking at the game, on the middle difficulty setting, on Ironman mode, losing against France, and barely chipping away at Czechoslovakia.
ty
ty for the cat
Great Britain joined my faction for no apparent reason, and they wound up barely helping me fight France.
you mightve went to war too fast...
I was gonna let the Soviet Union be if it stayed with Stalin or moved to Bukharin, but it went to civil war with, I think, a Democratic Russia that happened to win.
So if I sort out all my problems in central Europe, the next move is to take control of eastern Europe, and then later set up German colonies in Africa (which I would not do in real life, EVER, but I am just trying to have fun in this game).
Yeah certainly.
democratic russia path? where?
I'm used to mods, Ironman mode turned off and lower difficulty settings.
Oh maybe it wasn't that. It was something.
Sinister Sam
Idk I logged out of the game for now.
badass bil
It said something like "Provisional Russian Government." Maybe it was unaligned.
Naughty nathan
fascist or unaligned
It definitely wasn't fascist this time.
horrible henry
love this game 😭
its so peak
guys russia had 4 revolutions
1.pugachev revolution
2.decembrist revolution
3.february revolution
4.october revolution
lmao
Paratroopers are genuinely way too busted
It’s not even about taking VPs, you can cause massive encirclements by just paradropping behind enemy lines
Yeah you definitely can
Just requires green air
Dont ever do the bottom
Yeah I will but I am just curious
Yeah bottom one just kills the entire royal family
Who would be the leader then?
Idk
What happens if I put all my equipment in the international market before the German civil war
Bottom
You get new leader
And can do smth with hre
You can do the hre if you do the focus conquer italy
Even without Victoria
But the only viable HRE is the one with capital in Wien
damn it my game crashed
first time defeating france in ironman casual mode, its the 16th of february 1939
got the true blitzkrieg achievement
i thought your name was based but its austria and not australia
poland-lithuania is such a good formable
i am winning 2 front war against soviets and germans
the tiny finland be like
how did finland get murdered by germany??
idk
they joined allies
when the soviets attacked
They did not get danzig in fact
Leningrad has fallen!
based

@fickle thicketThat one's pretty innocent but technically no non-game images of controversial people either
damn it
99% of hoi4 players quit before they get supply
Lmao
Are you serious?
KX already takes an infinity to load so i thought this would make it load faster but NOPE
mods ban swastika present
i wanna play mexico whats their best path?

As japan, 26th February event didnt start, so i cant use main focus tree. How to fix that
restart
Can't, spent pretty much time on this savefile
the event fires in early 36 js restart
I spent too much time , I can't
Which id of this event?
Question it's my first time playing hoi and I almost died to Poland do I restart my run or continue with my safe file
idk havent got around to playing japan yet
depends on how bad the situation is
30 percentage cap needed Russia to bail me out
send screenshot
Don't have any
then take a screenshot
what mod is this
loop
Portraits?
units also different
road to anime i assume
no
pakistan in europe 🥀
afghan pakistan 
Anime History and 3D Anime Units - All Countries
allat for east bengal
guys i just won ww2 as axis and now it says incoming raid detected and that the usa will nuclear strike paris
what do i do
they have war goals against me
as the netherlands do i want the dutch east indies as a puppet
rather than integrated
okay
Integrated is better
why?
You get more factories and manpower from them
ohh i have more control
well its getting close to just a puppet
so how do i stop that
ah
theres nothing i can do then really
i need that rubber
actually
ill just change my source
this entire focus tree is ahistorical right?
Hist is cave to British but not really further down
ah okay
i might be slightly cooked
that went well
Trying to get by with dutch manpower typically ends this way 💔
i mean atleast it wasnt just me
nice to see the british putting in a shift
so
where did i go wrong
firstly
probably not taking the focus to annex the dutch east indies
Not using Indonesian manpower
because i said 'a captain always goes down with his ship'
you can make new units with their manpower
but i left them in the east indies
With your own units and equipment
im gonna keep playing
im gonna hope the dutch east indies pull of something
and dominate the entire world
They wont
Now you can design your own templates but will use mostly their manpower
You still need a tiny tiny bit of your own manpower
You need to click copy first
The indies is integrated so you'd be using 100% of their manpower
ohhh
So thats what that means
about that
i made them a puppet by accident
because i was too greedy for rubber
Huh
typa greed they talk about in the bible
They start off as integrated puppet
Never fully understood that, and could have sworn anytime I use east indies manpower I see myself using a tiny bit of my manpower
How the hell
I just trade rubber with malaya if I'm doing planes
Cause the Indies go up in autonomy a lot when their divs are used
i did change half way through
after realising trading with them = bad
Plus I end up stacking the indies with mils cause integrated puppets give 75% of their factories
I'm surprised you didn't even do the Benelux path
it was my first time
You double your factories and can create a swarm army of Indonesians with it
Like atleast 120 divs
Right side democracy path
the netherlands sounds more like an indonesia playthrough
Where you form the benelux faction
ohh that gives me them?
do i remain the netherlands
Try getting manpower as the Netherlands, it's not happening in a long time
You stay the Netherlands tag but form into unified Benelux through a decision
when the germans invade denmark
Belgium and Luxembourg gets cored
oh cool
should i rush that
Not sure about how much Belgium changed with gotedame whatever dlc but I used to rush it in the old patch
The formable usually ends up having the same economy as AI Italy which is pretty strong for a minor
Moin, habe mir das Spiel neu runtergeladen und brauche mal hilfe um dieses Spiel zu verstehen. Wenn jemand Lust hätte sich mit mir in einen Voice zu setzen und mir das Spiel zu erklären wäre ich sehr dankbar. (Am besten jemand der Deutsch kann) Danke
This server is English only, though Ill leave your message in case someone wants to DM you
Belgium is quite strong tho
@inner iron beneloux federation flag looks awesome
managed to rush it and form it in apr 1937
doubled my civs
omg and i gain congo
huge
im finna be unstoppable
the belgians of doom
(the germans are gonna destroy me)
before the germans could get austria
absolute cinema
where even is lichenstein
between austria and switzerland
have you modded
yeah road to 56
ah makes sense
Very cool great war redux
Balkan ai is so idiotic, we lost the 1st balkan war against the ottomans.
Very cool, leave 70% of your frontlines unmanned
very cool
awesome

darkest hour mod isn't 1.17 compatible right?
didnt even realise
What did you start as
im playing wit console for smt
what is the best way to play nationalist china in the denouunce feudalism path idk how to reform my army quiclky to have good div to beat up the warlord the japanese and the soviet after
and didnt realise i gave soviets perfectly 369 dockyards
grand battelplan
all on super heavy battelships
if ur not defending
Any filipinos here?
so apparently the nordic union has its communist variant
Any dlc for the special forces
nearly there...
neato
its me against the whole world so yeah
why is china lowk easy now shandong clique hasnt even capitulated yet
every naval invasion they do gets destroyed
because u have guns now
also im surprised u actually managed to successfully defend against the japanese as how paradox intended it to
im not even that good
i just did a simple frontline and they keep slamming their heads into the wall of chinese
japanese probably werent pushing hard enough on the hebei front
this is my first time playing china in ncns
i expected absolute hell
i think i got lucky here
i have never seen someone successfully hold the frontlines in place without needing the jinan river
netherlands cannot be possible
IM PUSHING THEM
just get steamrolled by the germans every time
have u ever tried fascist china
i need tips so hard
they havent reached my starting territory yet
i tried to play it but beating communist china is impossible
😭😭
early reunification is a pain
this is my first china game lmao
yumm
