[opal nymph]

But lose as the German military

[steel zephyr]

nonhis and i was in axis

[steel zephyr]

i played finland more recently

played as german civil war when i was barely into the game

still only 5 days into the game though

[opal nymph]

Even though Mackinson is weakened, he still gives at least 5% attack and defense

Maybe 10

[manic iris]

plez guys i am such a begginer in this game and i wanna do french empire

i need help someone 🙏

[opal nymph]

Build entirely mils as France after maxxing out civs in the Pas-de-Calais state

[manic iris]

[opal nymph]

You said French Empire

[manic iris]

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-napoleon-the-best-good-job-fantastic-gif-26235555

this dude

route

[opal nymph]

Do you have La Resistance DLC?

[manic iris]

maybe idk im playing with a friend

[opal nymph]

Just look at the right side of the focus tree

[manic iris]

[opal nymph]

It is down the Revive the National Bloc

But go right

You may not have focus icons though if you dont have DLC

[manic iris]

I need this?

[opal nymph]

Yes

[manic iris]

my friend does

[opal nymph]

[manic iris]

okay thank u

[silver eagle]

?...

Luxembourg you want WHAT?!?

[arctic nest]

they want the ports from hungary

and admiral horty

[steel zephyr]

subscribed yo yo yo

ffs why does cherkassy province cross the dnieper 😢

they really didn't just want to make provinces allign with the river

[silver eagle]

I hate it whenever I do a flank and then this happens... (btw Im German empire)

[steel zephyr]

new finland non historical

bought the subscription

so arms againts tyranny

[dusky burrow]

Don't worry too much player, you should get the Italian puppet

Just make sure to ask for Piemonte and Sardinia if you can

Does Czechoslovakia have Genoa or France?

[molten forge]

how can i export stuff to a specific nation

[dusky burrow]

I think everything you export is just up for grabs

[molten forge]

i accidentally became chinese puppet

i clicked wrong

[dusky burrow]

There's also trade influence, the more trade influence a nation has the more access they have to your market

That said, I don't know of any ways to influence other countries' trade opinion of you

Except for just blocking trade entirely

[molten forge]

mind if i ask

how can i get my autonomy up if were not at war

[fervent berry]

how did you accidently do that

what country

[molten forge]

yunnan

[rancid patrol]

interesting

[molten forge]

can i maybe somehow make china go to war with someone

[fervent berry]

hmmm

dont they go to war with japan?

[molten forge]

am waiting for that

[rancid patrol]

WHO THE FU-

[molten forge]

they should add a way to war your puppet master

[molten forge]

why the hell are 2 civs of mine gone

and wtg

[feral hedge]

If I capitulate the USA will they still be able to use their navy even though they capped?

[molten forge]

hey so like, all my civs and mills just decided to dissapear

[feral hedge]

It's random

[knotty vortex]

how do you stop the communists from starting a civil war as france

[feral hedge]

Did you go to war when germany remilitarized?

[knotty vortex]

nope

[feral hedge]

How'd it happen tell us

[knotty vortex]

i got up to diplomatic freedom

[molten forge]

i was just existing and all of a sudden all gone

[steel zephyr]

awkward situation as finland

[feral hedge]

A screenshot would help

[knotty vortex]

is it cause i increased the popularity of facism + non-aligned

[feral hedge]

Not sure

[knotty vortex]

hm

[knotty vortex]

ah

[feral hedge]

It appears that you have 1 factory either a mil or a civ

[knotty vortex]

<25% stability and not at war

thats what causes it

[molten forge]

it appears am blind

i found my issue

[steel zephyr]

communists lost in estonian civil war, but the country is more red now 🧐

[molten forge]

it was called

being at war

[kind vale]

I think i made a few more battleships than I should've

[molten forge]

ok nvm

so basically

china gave my ass up to the british

[kind vale]

How many boats is too many boats?

[molten forge]

when you have 1.5x more than UK

[kind vale]

So my 775 capital ships will be plenty

[knotty vortex]

how can you increase stability

[molten forge]

improve workers conditions

could be in focus reww

tree

[kind vale]

Make boats

[molten forge]

and maybe a leiader

[knotty vortex]

france dont really have any

[arctic nest]

or ban partys

[faint carbon]

yeah cuz after 3 years paradox hasn't still noticed that the troops that are meant to help you in the CW are in those island that are disconnected from the capital

[knotty vortex]

atleast not at my stage

[arctic nest]

i mean like communism or fasiscm

[kind vale]

I like boats

[safe wing]

Same I built a mega fleet as the Qing in road to 56 from scratch

[kind vale]

I uh

Im Germany rn

Ive built

A few boats.

[safe wing]

Did that as Germany alot I decided to do it as other nations (Monarchist Russia, Austria Hungary)

[kind vale]

Yeah i got 775 capital ships

[steel zephyr]

neat, soviet civil war

i never see stalin win

[somber briar]

no way that og soviets lose ts

[dusky burrow]

I've seen stalin win, but that's because the rebels attacked Romania

[steel zephyr]

if the soviets move their capital to leningrad, and leningrad is encircled, does that mean the rest of russia has no supplies?

[steel zephyr]

every time i see it, stalin always loses

[errant remnant]

the current map + Zoomed Europe

[somber briar]

ew bro just ew 😭??

[errant remnant]

[knotty vortex]

bruh i am

people always clown me for that

like mf i dont even touch civs

[dusky burrow]

also do cover your nothern border

[knotty vortex]

okay

[dusky burrow]

Paradox hardcoded the French AI to not defend the northern border and make it really easy for Germany to take over

[quasi shoal]

japan gets a 1 year and 100% research bonus to light aircraft, is rushing air as japan better for the axis in mp now?

[pseudo raven]

than do little entant focuse tree

[pseudo raven]

swiss army cookig

[sudden grotto]

[winged field]

Finland - Hungary brotherhoodship forever ❤️

[steel zephyr]

holy downgrade

gonna wait for the inevitable soviet-allies war to steal karelia

norweigan civil war still going on

[pseudo raven]

why this is so good against ai

[dusky burrow]

That division is semi-competent and the AI is not

[pseudo raven]

so what means competent if i just placed alot of infantry

[haughty bison]

Guys is this enough radar?

[haughty bison]

Semi competent? I thought it became the meta for inf with the new doctrine

[pseudo raven]

i guess it's the best balkan borders

xd they proclaimed grater hungary

[untold sphinx]

how do i get rid of the little entente

i can't do anything as long as they guarantee each other

[steel zephyr]

annexed estonia and mil factories doubled 🥹

[dusky burrow]

Those borders

[untold sphinx]

what's wrong

i justified on austria

[dusky burrow]

Why does Carpathian Ruthenia own southern Slovakia

[untold sphinx]

oh

idk tbf

no it doesnt

visual bug

do yk how to get around the guarantees?

[dusky burrow]

Czechoslovakia shouldn't be guaranteed post-Munich

[haughty bison]

And make sure world tension below 30%

[untold sphinx]

technically its not a guarantee it's.. that

[haughty bison]

Or else france and the UK will guarantee :/

[vital cove]

you want 36w for offense usually

and also medium flame tanks instead of light

and also can add more support companies

[haughty bison]

Oh didn't notice its 32 XD

[vital cove]

signal/helicopter/hospital etc.

[haughty bison]

I usually go with signals

[vital cove]

yeah signals are nice

i like hospital and helicopter

for getting veterans

[haughty bison]

I usually add them for my tanks cus i dont have gottermang to use the flame tank

[dusky burrow]

Oof

That is a problem

[untold sphinx]

it's so over for me

idk how that even works

[quasi shoal]

Livadeia do yk if japan rushing air would be better for mp axis now

[haughty bison]

If you can pump a bunch of units
You can try and take them out 1 by 1

Defend on 2 front and focus on the other

[untold sphinx]

too late czechoslovakia is gone

i'll just launch a balkan invasion in 150 days

[haughty bison]

Rip
Try and take the others?
Then join the allies later on to take your needed states

[pseudo raven]

actualy france is not as bad as i thought

just need some time

to ramp up

[warped flint]

Get it closer to 36 width

and its even better

[winged field]

medium flame tanks are better

[pseudo raven]

i ended this run

i got this twoo

now facist france run

oh wait

i need to be afk until 1948

and not cap

[knotty vortex]

dont they just get stood on?

[molten forge]

congrats

[knotty vortex]

and whats the best way to min max industry

[molten forge]

to what

[knotty vortex]

as many mils as possible

[pseudo raven]

idk i done this today

[molten forge]

i mean, honestly i can give you an idea but its irealistic and makes it uselles

[pseudo raven]

works perfect

[winged field]

build factories in your max infrastructure region first

[knotty vortex]

i do that

but then i get people saying that i lack factorys

from day 1

thats all i do

[molten forge]

what country is enjoyable dlcless and aint a head hurtinh

[winged field]

max out railways for the funnies

[knotty vortex]

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

i js wanna make european union

[haughty bison]

Maybe they use conversion strat?

[pseudo raven]

Turkey

definetly

[knotty vortex]

they always say they dont build civs

[pseudo raven]

screen of little entante

[molten forge]

when i said not head hurting

i meant not killing my braincells

[haughty bison]

Like you need civs to build stuff bruh

[pseudo raven]

hmm

[haughty bison]

You dont start from day 1 mil only :v

[pseudo raven]

fleet nations

[knotty vortex]

yeah i know but you can get civs via focus

[pseudo raven]

braincell stimulation

[knotty vortex]

you kinda do

[haughty bison]

Are we talking sp or mp?

[knotty vortex]

sp

[molten forge]

i dont have brain, i am stupid lol

[haughty bison]

You can build some civs at the beginning

[warped flint]

I dont really build civs

[pseudo raven]

like build civs and than convers to mils?

[warped flint]

I steal other countrys civs

[knotty vortex]

yeah but thats kinda annoying as france

[haughty bison]

Or to simple have more to build more mils later at a a time
I usually go late war that why

[pseudo raven]

mils from start

[knotty vortex]

thats what i do

[pseudo raven]

works againts ai

[knotty vortex]

but then i get told 70 factories in 1939 is bad 💔

[pseudo raven]

i got 60

and than anexed germany

[haughty bison]

The only advice is to simplify your templates

[pseudo raven]

local autonomy is the bes law

[haughty bison]

Maybe dont build tanks and focus on def and offensive inf?

[pseudo raven]

totaly ignored all of this

[pseudo raven]

idk

i done this path

[warped flint]

just build mils as france

[pseudo raven]

and just pushed into germany

[knotty vortex]

im tryna do facist france

so i can create european union

[pseudo raven]

facist countries can do europian uninon?

[haughty bison]

Wait fascist France make the EU?
There a joke somewhere but i can't put my finger on it

[knotty vortex]

pretty sure you can do that

the prerequisities dont say otherwise

[pseudo raven]

I remember brits can

[knotty vortex]

you just gotta hold all of benelux, germany and italy

nothing about politics

[haughty bison]

Huh
I should really try france then never played it before

[knotty vortex]

its not a france exclusive thing

benelux union can do it too

[pseudo raven]

british to

italy

germany

democracy germany

[knotty vortex]

see surely you cant do it as democratic uk

cause you cant justify on france

as theyre democratic

[proud tapir]

How my ally looks at me when i revoke the none agression pact and kick them from the faction (i need those 2 tiles for a formable)

[kind vale]

Germany can with the monarch focus tree

[pseudo raven]

mosly britain could do it

[winged field]

France when you try to help czechoslovakia against germany:

You literally just become spain 2

[rancid patrol]

fix

[pseudo raven]

4 more years of afk and achievment is mine

[winged field]

increase conscription law

[kind vale]

Should I reform the holy roman empire? Or do a democratic germany run

[knotty vortex]

what nation

[rancid patrol]

cant

im america

[haughty bison]

Toss a coin

[rancid patrol]

already limited socnscirption

[kind vale]

No i can't add more wood to the fire

[knotty vortex]

cooked

[pseudo raven]

all path of germany same thing

conquer and conquer

[winged field]

then just wait till u can war germany and then incresae it

[cedar kite]

Its only being democratic and a major for it to be visible but Hungary, Austria, and uk have different visibility requirements

[kind vale]

No im playing as germany

[winged field]

oh

[knotty vortex]

oh really

[haughty bison]

Wrong person lol

[knotty vortex]

i was wondering how uk could do it

[winged field]

Then just increase it

[knotty vortex]

because surely they have to be facist

[winged field]

cuz u can

[knotty vortex]

as you need france

[cedar kite]

Uk can only do eu with Mosley after doing imperial federation for it to be visible, germany can do the eu focus for it to be visible you can do it fascist as strasser

[knotty vortex]

whats the best way to do it as france

[cedar kite]

After they do imperial federation while Mosley is the leader

[cedar kite]

Don't join allies and fight germany when they invade so you get to occupy benelux and Germany and then go after italy

[pseudo raven]

stressa front italy or what is straser

[knotty vortex]

time to figure out how to beat germany as france

[cedar kite]

Strasser is the secret facist leader after doing civil war

[pseudo raven]

in france?

[cedar kite]

Germany

[pseudo raven]

ah

[cedar kite]

Hungary and Austria need either otto habsburg as the leader or do a specific focus while being a major

[pseudo raven]

first time doing it

[cedar kite]

Hungary can only do it with the final Austria hungary focus while otto is leader

[cedar kite]

Its very rng heavy

I wish they made it like the Italian one where the more compliance you have the higher the chance they accept

[pseudo raven]

i think this tree influenc result of focus

[cedar kite]

No

[haughty bison]

Or just improve relation?

[cedar kite]

Its literally rng

[dusky burrow]

Japan used to be able to immediately research 1940 fighters with one focus

[pseudo raven]

with ocupied teritory?

[dusky burrow]

But yeah as Japan you should rush air I believe

[viscid swift]

guys i feel like a real life general rn, sitting in my own room, eating salsa while i send my troops to die 🔥

[haughty bison]

Or right occupied territories
I am dumb didn't read

[pseudo raven]

well done comrade

[quasi shoal]

damn

[kind vale]

80 billion to Israel

[quasi shoal]

problem is i'm not sure they get any more buffs

for getting engines

[viscid swift]

this is a respond i'd probably hear from stalin if he was alive today

[quasi shoal]

although they might get sumn like dive bombers with germany that gives them engines by default

[pseudo raven]

thatš why i wrote it

EVERYONE voted for +55 resistence

peak colonial franch empire

[kind vale]

Invade them

Take away the rights of the people

[warped flint]

I just went afk and forgot to pause my game

so fun

[pseudo raven]

i am already playing france

[kind vale]

Use brutal oppression

Beat them

[pseudo raven]

usles?

glorious jordan fleet

[rancid patrol]

oh HELL no

[jaunty delta]

i wonder if playing germany or USSR correlates with your real life ideology

[open quartz]

not really

it's just that the democracies in this game suck

thus fascism and communism appeal more to the player

[quasi shoal]

yeah most of them are just "do decision, puppet, do decision, better puppet, do decision, annex, do decision, core"

or the historical democracies are just boring historical stuff

[dusky burrow]

The US navy is still toast

[open quartz]

they can't even puppet I think; that's the worst part

[dusky burrow]

You're a player and the US isn't

[quasi shoal]

they can't in war conferences

but stuff like china and germany let you puppet iirc

through decisions

[open quartz]

you fight this giant war and gain no benefit unless you want to garrison areas that rebel faster than poland

but

[quasi shoal]

poland doesn't really rebel if you play right

[open quartz]

they are interesting to play

democracy is sorta the game's "no you can't have fun" ideology

[mossy fulcrum]

theyre fun in mp

[pseudo raven]

helnah

[pseudo raven]

italy democracy is goog

good

[open quartz]

really?

hmm

the main issue with democracy in this game is they have no way of expanding territory easily

I assume italy takes control of libya?

or does something else happen

[quasi shoal]

denied 😂

[modern torrent]

its time

[pseudo raven]

as democracy italy you can do roman empire path

wich give you spirit that allow you to justify wargoal with any ideology

1946 not enough coal

[mossy fulcrum]

hm?

Democracy is the best team content

for hoi4

Fascism and so axis doesnt really compare as germany is the carry

[molten forge]

any advice for taking nations bigger than me

[snow rain]

why are you building armored cars 😭

and light flame tanks 💀 ||only use medium flame tanks, except for paratroopers)||

[snow rain]

don't battleplan, only use its planning bonus but micro your units

[molten forge]

dont what

you mean no spearhead or attack pattern

[snow rain]

the battleplan is the big arrow that serves as an attack plan

you don't activate it basically

[molten forge]

just simple automatic manouvering

should i maybe tell you what am fighting

[snow rain]

you place it as it gives a planning bonus, but when playing minors against majors you don't activate it

[snow rain]

coudld help, yes

[molten forge]

afganistan vs iran

am afgan

[snow rain]

well, that advice is even more important since you're fighting in mountains

concentrate your assaults, aim for supply lines and encirclements

[molten forge]

OK

[snow rain]

if you activate the automatic attacks you'll most probably die

[pseudo raven]

what if

[molten forge]

not like i use em 99% of the times

[molten forge]

can i give you an idea for a game of hoi4

[pseudo raven]

i don't need it becaus ai sucks

[pseudo raven]

yes

[snow rain]

indeed, but no point in not getting literally free stats

[pseudo raven]

still meh

only for defens purpous

i understood why its good

but no need again ai

maybe on minor

power

to save mp and have armour

[molten forge]

mobile infantry + paratroopers + subs + strat bombers, nation can be anything but germany, USSR, USA, Brazil, France, UK

what do you say

[pseudo raven]

all land units in 1 template or separate

and what about othermajors?

[molten forge]

paratroopers are optional, the idea is about not having mountaneers or marines

[molten forge]

like?

oh yea forgot japan

and china

[pseudo raven]

Itlay Japan Buthan

[molten forge]

italy is ok

just dont join germant

[pseudo raven]

k

will abuse paratroops for france

and form roman empire

[molten forge]

its all your choice

[pseudo raven]

k

[molten forge]

just remember that you also need to use mobile infantry

[pseudo raven]

1 game on new year will be this

[pseudo raven]

only mob

?

[molten forge]

and for air strategic bombers, for navy subs

[molten forge]

mob and paratroopers

want me to make it a little harder?

[pseudo raven]

only taccts also?

[molten forge]

wdym

only tact bombers

[pseudo raven]

yep

[molten forge]

do you need it a bit harder or its fine rn

[pseudo raven]

lets do it fo fun

[molten forge]

no companies

[pseudo raven]

oh

fine i gues

guess

[molten forge]

tho

its only if you want it to be harder

[pseudo raven]

k

[molten forge]

this one is completly optional

[pseudo raven]

k

[molten forge]

also i joined the cominterm

[pseudo raven]

hello there

300~ factories from trade

almost achievment

[fervent berry]

W

[pseudo raven]

i was afk since 1943 i guess

[rancid patrol]

yeah and how laggy is it

[pseudo raven]

not really

no wars heppening

[rancid patrol]

LOL

is polands faction just poland or is that the default setting

[limber ravine]

worst possible ending xd

france taking over the world

[pseudo raven]

rulling nato btw

so yes

[molten forge]

btw you gonna stream the italy challange

[pseudo raven]

yes

[molten forge]

can you ping me so i can also wacth

[tulip thorn]

I love forming nato as fascist emperor showa japan

[copper sluice]

how does one get good at civil wars

[ornate marlin]

honestly speaking is using space marines in sp cheating

[limber ravine]

no

[safe wing]

For me yes

[arctic nest]

yea it is

[viscid swift]

guys what combat width should i make mountaneers?

[arctic nest]

shows that you cant win with normal divisons

[arctic nest]

depends

on you manpower industrie and spec cap

[viscid swift]

i think the spec cap is 24 so i'd just go with that

[rain loom]

he will return

sooon

[clever tendon]

chat

should I do historical USSR

or

trotsky

or bukharin

[pseudo raven]

Vlasov

[clever tendon]

that's possible?

[marble patio]

if the allies will not save me, perhaps the soviets can..

[pseudo raven]

there was the wasy for vlasov

[marble patio]

i wonder if germany will leave me alone now

i'm in comintern so

[pseudo raven]

I found guide from russian dude

[clever tendon]

about Vlasov?

[pseudo raven]

but there is auto dub for eanglish

about hoi4 Vlasov ussr

[clever tendon]

send Vlasov guide

also

what ideology

happens

[pseudo raven]

comunism

[clever tendon]

what's fun about going Vlasov

[pseudo raven]

he's scripted traitor in hoi4

if he betrays he still will be in charge of soviets

[light nova]

Is it possible to have a productive game as Lebanon

[pseudo raven]

but germans could use him as general

[pseudo raven]

https://youtu.be/3odVWW7u4SQ?si=a17rO4b76VbOR6A6

[light nova]

The only way I can be independent is wait for France to fall and refuse being a puppet of Vichy France and they leave me alone but I'm still stuck in war and I can't do anything as I have 1 whole tile

[pseudo raven]

As I said in Russian

[light nova]

And that leaves me no gameplay

[pseudo raven]

But with eanglish dub from YT

[marble patio]

lebanon is like the luxembourg of africa

you have two choices

[light nova]

It's Asian

[marble patio]

die immediately or escape and watch everything go to shit

[marble patio]

is it?

[pseudo raven]

Ilustraition of pure power

[light nova]

It's in the middle east

[marble patio]

damn i thought it was in africa

[light nova]

Like right above Israel and right below Syria

[pseudo raven]

this small french pupet?

[azure dagger]

You can also get vlasov as leader of soviet union if you use rt56 and go monarchist path

[light nova]

No but I get declared kn by Slovakia but no one invades

[light nova]

Sad but true (Metallica reference)

[pseudo raven]

interesting

[pseudo raven]

xd

[light nova]

It's such a shame we don't have a focus we were going through some interesting shit in the 1930s and 1940s

[quiet vessel]

you're gonna be (the) unforgiven for that one

[pseudo raven]

yes basic generic tree

[clever tendon]

I understand Russian somewhat

[light nova]

Damn my world is fading to black rn

[light nova]

A nice 3 mils and 5 civs

And max infrastructure so that's good

[quiet vessel]

must've ran out of fuel

[pseudo raven]

you can try find mods

[light nova]

The metal militia got a lot of fuel

[safe wing]

To escape creeping death

And the thing that should not be

[light nova]

I wanna pull this off in vanilla

[open quartz]

i love mobile warfare

[quiet vessel]

i have an URGE to make a focus tree

[light nova]

I'm independent but I can't do shit because Syria became a puppet of the ssnp, is there a way I could like stage an uprising in Syria for it to be independent

[light nova]

Lebanon?

[light nova]

The phantom lord could help

[pseudo raven]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2975868119&searchtext=Lebanon extension for kaiser redux

[light nova]

The Reich* not the ssnp

[quiet vessel]

lebanon focus tree?? thats a great idea icl

[light nova]

Yeah

[pseudo raven]

but nothing historical

[safe wing]

Schizo Carthaginian path with formable when?

[light nova]

Isn't this the 1914 mod or sum idk I don't really play mods and I got this game like 9 days ago

And I really REALLY don't wanna play millennium dawn for Lebanon

[pseudo raven]

idk

[azure dagger]

I just watched and basically you can get any admiral and general as leader of soviet union

[pseudo raven]

not millenium

[steel zephyr]

🥀

[light nova]

Yeah yeah I'm just saying

[pseudo raven]

its 1or2 ww

[pseudo raven]

cool probably

so lots of random

[light nova]

Like with Syria it's so easy to become free and you can literally capitulate France

But Lebanon

[clever tendon]

what should I research as historical USSR

construction and industry?

[light nova]

Oh no you're stuck until 1940 doing nothing

[pseudo raven]

construction of gulag

[supple breach]

why?

[wraith mauve]

What music should I listen to while liberating west Russia

[light nova]

Because it's 1 tile so you can't stage a civil war, all you can do is wait for the Germans to capitulate France and then refuse being a Vichy puppet just to become free

And then you can't do anything else

[pseudo raven]

leto i arbaleti

but it''s to political i guess

[supple breach]

oof

[light nova]

You can't even do anything, Syria and Jordan are under colonial rule, you're forced into the allies to fight (which is fine because you won't get invaded but you can't do anything)

So if you wanna form a nice little country

You have to wait until WW2 ends

[pseudo raven]

and gain war score

[arctic nest]

withe girl

[light nova]

Or rush 10 focuses and sit on the autonomy continuous until you're free

[supple breach]

i assume most of the axis are to busy doing smth else during 1941+

[light nova]

You have no starting division template

[arctic nest]

white

[light nova]

And no army experience

And no army

And 0 civilian factories

And then how am I getting my troops to the fight without lend lease which reduces my autonomy

[light nova]

This is the only thing that could work

[pseudo raven]

https://youtu.be/8mGBaXPlri8?si=z00AnZNSweGKx40C

[supple breach]

what does autonomy do?

[light nova]

And it's not a great idea

[light nova]

It gives me independence

[supple breach]

ahhhh

[light nova]

Lebanon starts as a colony

[arctic nest]

california girls

[light nova]

It needs 500 autonomy to become a dominion

1000 days

[supple breach]

💀

[light nova]

And 750 or 1000 to become independent

That's another 1500 to 2000 days

[supple breach]

dude

[light nova]

That's almost like 8 years

Or I wait until 1940

[supple breach]

i cant even defeat the soviets as the germans 😭

[pseudo raven]

https://youtu.be/ZHwVBirqD2s?si=IVySpcJDbOFZZhEQ

[light nova]

And then hope Vichy France doesn't declare

[pseudo raven]

every atemp for 30 minutes of hell

[light nova]

Hold the Line by toto could work

[supple breach]

wait

how many divisions do you generally need for the soviets (as germany)

[pseudo raven]

https://youtu.be/yyNkeBCBPZI?si=o6fkGpkGtkw201cB

for horse poland

[light nova]

So idk but I heard bitter steel say like 5 divisions or sum and a panzer division

I'm not sure j didn't finish that video as I lost to Poland

[supple breach]

i have NO clue how panzer divisions work

i never really use them

[light nova]

They're like offensive divisions

Infantry is defense

Or sum

Idk I usually play Bulgaria

Lebanon to me is a lost cause

[supple breach]

do u need infantry to support them?

[light nova]

Nah just hold the line or sum

I'm no expert I downloaded the game 9 days ago

[supple breach]

ok so

[light nova]

I have a mere 65h on this game but that's just what I heard

[supple breach]

my best runs have gone super well up until the soviets

[supple breach]

I HAVE 49 HOURS AND I DOWNLOADED THIS GAME A YEAR AGO 😭

[light nova]

Tbf I spend a lot of time afk just watching bitter steel do the gameplay and then just follow what he does

[supple breach]

i watched like

one tutorial

and then learned the rest on my own

[clever tendon]

as USSR do I start with infrastructure or spam civs right away

[light nova]

Yeah I watched a basic tutorial and then specific country paths I usually just watch videos on it

[supple breach]

my runs in general just go like:

1939 start - declare on poland - capitulate them - do around maginot - take out the benelux - capitulate france - establish vichy france - attempt for the 92nd time to invade the soviets - fail

[light nova]

Dude the only video on lebanon in hoi4 is on millennium dawn and I REALLY don't wanna play millennium dawn

[pseudo raven]

i guess alpine federation is really cool

[supple breach]

i aint never played millennium dawn

[light nova]

And I never want to

[supple breach]

until italt declares and asks germany to join

italy*

[pseudo raven]

not a problem

[supple breach]

i just dont wanna fight the entirety of NATO

[pseudo raven]

i need to declare on some one and win

for achievment

[icy wyvern]

just beat china as japan in may 1937 on my mamas computer

i’m on an boring ass road trip

[light nova]

I have a better challenge if you're up for jt

[icy wyvern]

what

[light nova]

Become independent as Lebanon and conquer the Levant

[supple breach]

your options (before 1940) is austria, france, italy, germany and smth else

austria prob ur best bet

[icy wyvern]

wait

that’s crazy tho lol

[light nova]

Yeah I've been trying

And it's not easy

You get a max of like 15 build slots and 5 civs (and 3 mils) but max infrastructure is cool

[icy wyvern]

like the us and allies would be annoying if the axis don’t cook

[icy wyvern]

ye

[light nova]

No one give a damn

Axis declared on me and didn't even invade

[icy wyvern]

what why be rude🥺

[supple breach]

oof

[light nova]

No like no one cares about Lebanon

I left Vichy France and they genuinely did not care

[icy wyvern]

yea got it now lol u did not mean to be rude

[supple breach]

vichy france lowk suck at combat

they either need to call germany or fail entirely

[light nova]

Basically you have to hope the axis win quickly in France and pray they lose quicker

Or like

Use spies to infiltrate Syria

I actually haven't tried that

That might work

But you do need 12k guns

[light nova]

I think

[kind vale]

I love playing as germany with a guarantee from the uk

[torn copper]

bro

hours into a run

and one slip of concentration and laziness

ruins the whole shit

wtf is the navy update

[pseudo raven]

not that dramatic

[pseudo raven]

now navy is easy

[worn agate]

I still don’t understand navy

[molten forge]

did you do it?

[celest isle]

to what

[pseudo raven]

your challenge?

i written that will do it as first game in new year

[molten forge]

ok

[ornate marlin]

if germany declared war on the us in 1944 what were they doing until 44

were they mainly fighting in the east or wat

[orchid vine]

what am i looking at

[pseudo raven]

what

[dusky burrow]

Oof

Rough

[celest isle]

how do i make it better tho

[dusky burrow]

Modern political figures and modern politics are banned in the rules

[oak mantle]

Add more batts

And support companies

[celest isle]

?

[oak mantle]

Battallions

[celest isle]

how many

and which supp comps

[oak mantle]

Maybe until 10 combat width if you cant afford anything expensive and like support arty

Im not 100% cause i dont use paratroopers often

[celest isle]

it is 10 combat width

[oak mantle]

3 battallions of paratroopers (as shown in your first screenshot) is 6 cw so you must have changed it

[celest isle]

is this good?
