nah only super heavy ships
Can u come out of the VC for a second? @unkempt stirrup
guys
i need to get into uk mainland but i REALLY cannot get naval supremacy, i do have paratroopers but they immediately get killed off in seconds, what should i do
build a navy
cant
who u playin
@heavy vigil ok I have decided that ultimately the worth of the Fipilinos is here

they are just speedbump at best otherwise
finland
gg its over
BRO I DO HAVE PARATROOPERS AND GOOD PLANES
i CAN land
but they get killed off immediately
and they have way too many divisions
on their mainland
like
i saw atleast 40
then make a distraction in the north so they send troops OR LAND NEAR OR ON A PORT
defending the dover area
i love new fleet!
then paradrop hull
Its pathetic that they cant defeat the communists but it helps me soo
thats if they dont join the allies
yeah if they do no peace conference
no navy
do they need territory to do this?
like could you genuinely make them roach manila
it should be enough to not cap
wheezzzzzeee
even if i do a naval invasion, they still have an insane amount of divisions just chilling on their mainland
what do i even do
did it get harder to invade the uk
gng then paradrop
its simple
no
the total pp cost for these is 425pp though
and 60d cooldown
gonna be hard to keep up
PHI max pp gain is only like
2.75
well that wasnt that hard
Update, China still cant win.
Yes, except if you only have dds in that fleet, they'll basically never be targetted by navs so their AA won't do anything
IC of ships is taken into account for targetting priority, as is ship class
All people in their country will be gone by the time they defeat the communists
Oh cool
What the heck
Big win
bro
u used a mod for ts
i only used rt56, player led peace conferences and postwar settlements
i have no idea wich one caused this
do u have ironman on
no
are they democratic
then u used console commands or edited the image
no 😭
yes
then explain 700 pp in 41
ts shouldve been gone
and it looks like u either lost barb and got puppeted or switched fascist and deleted ur army
Guys I need help can someone check #ask-for-help-hereplease
i went the fascist ussr path
and did a deleteallunits because i started lagging
bro
that dont make sense
what makes no sense
based
man south africa tree is dogshit hope it gets a rework sometime soon
the deletion or ur entire army for "lag"
???
who tf in their right mind DELETES THEIR ENTIRE ARMY
i deleted everyones army
that shouldnt break the game bruv
the ai doin shit with said army lags the game
not the unit
if the ai has no army then the ai cant do shit with said army
but the ai has more men and mils to make more equipment and remake said army
oh wow chile path might be interesting
itll never get reworked atp
unless next dlc is focused on the empire
but lets be real who plays new zealand in 2026
nobody does
and whos gonna buy a rework of australia for 40 bucks
NOBODY
you get a dog as an adviser yeah shits peak
The next dlc gon be about australia, siam and indonesia i think
i heard too yeah
They could maybe add a small focus tree for another country or teo
two*
Like in the south america dlc
They added small ones for paraguay and uruguay
palau dlc trust
Add 1000 focuses for new Zealand with 100 new advisors , 400 national spirits, 1/1 replica of New Zealand and more
Im gonna have an headache if this continues...
i might be cooked
then china urself
i already like new zealand
what?
kill*
yes
Im gonna do that. But the problem is that I wanted to wait until they defeated the comunists. Still hasnt been done.
Ngl Communist China is kinda easy
u get the bob semple and thats it
Just ally republicans, prevent anyone from joining and conquer everyone with them then betray
Is it possible for aussa to win?
taking a photo of your screen in the big 2026
???
bro does not play new zealande
you get engine 3 first focus
70 days into the game
cuz i dont play minors
you have air buffs
There’s not playing minors, and then there’s New Zealand
changes little
guys why does the uk sometimes NOT defend at all but sometimes do sht like in the second pic
Actually random
cuz it doesn't check for France
it checks GER tag and GER subjects and will stack up with they control coastal states on the other side of the channel
there is an overall script that triggers regardless of which tag, as long as they are enemies and control the coastal states
but it triggers too late at times
especially against France, because they can control those states right from the start of the war
okay THANK YOU
this explained ALOT
whereas Germany being at war with the UK gives UK more time to stack up first
there is some element of RNG with their deployment queue as well
AI will panic deploy all troops in training if they have surrender progress
but more or less the real difference here is that GER tag being aggressor gives time for UK to stack up
whereas with France you hardly give them any
yeah but its the best path for nzl
but in this case, maybe...
I think UK simply has less troops due to earlier date

one more thing
what am i even supposed to begin doing in the second situation 😭
nothing
just sit there and defend
wait for like 1-2 months
then you can think of something
gonna give Hoi4 another chance. so complex game.. 😄
dont. its worth it
Does anyone know any good modern day mod for hoi4
That is nit millenium dawn or novus thing
The Fire Rises, and Red Dusk.
I played tfr and I did all of the focuses fir each country
Great mod
Red dusk is shit
Too laggy and incomplete
Great, than that’s all the modern content your going to get.
Join the dev team to help speed up the next update.
Im sad that developers for FMTW didnt release mod
It looked great
Better than Millennium Dawn
Red Dusk is the best modern day mod imo
TFR is
Are you insulting me?
Which is better for the game
Guys i dont have any dlc, and i already play 100h of HOI4, what kinda dlc i have to buy it? and someone have one video about marine haha? or tanks templates?
Lots of proxy wars to get involved in
No Step Back
Boy you dont want me to go racist mod
Then AAT if you have spare money
?
No Step Back and Arms Against Tyranny are your go tos
La Resistance is alright
If you dont have dlcs get road to 56 mod
Road to 56 is okay
I can get achievements from steam, with that mod?
Why are people with steam obsessed with achievments
Because funny
You know whats more fun?
my first successful peace meeting

Beer
I see why the hoi4 community is looked down upon
Its nice, because u have goals when u play
Чивапчичи?
something wrong?
Не
Like i would never play with greece, bc without dlc is a shit, but u can get some nice achievements, thats why
Either way, the one thing that makes me sad is that Red Dusk made it to where McCain cant be president day 1 as he got replaced by Bush
Oh well, guess we can invade Iraq now
Я ыубыу тебе
I went to Constantinople and all I got was this lousy achievement
Top tier achievement name lol
Кринџ
Looks like we got a rule breaker
Oh come on, if u taste superbock.. well my friend u will became a alcoholic
Nah
I just said his username
And than I said " I love you"
And than "cringe"
i just finished botl of vine
am i alcholic
We got mr tuff over here
Because you are single?
I almost get it.. i get 2 another from greence, like liberate albania, and one more i forgot now
idk what counts as single
wine?
Being bitchless
yes
Red, white, rosé?
white
Taste Porto wine, is a red wine, is the best in the world
it was with discount
Tuff
Okok, understandable, but red is for mens
Nonchalant
I prefer beer honestly
Democratic Germany with hist path is kinda cool
How the f am i supposed to win as japan
they broke through the rhine, nooooo
is this with dlc or no dlc?
ahh is it worth?
The Gotterdammerung German focus tree comes in vanilla
kinda bought it for the alt hist
oh yeah
germans went to war with the soviets
and the japanese are also at war with the soviets

guess im gonna take my chances
the darn fr*nchies am I right
yeah its a disaster, ill retreat somewhere where i can defend
which one?
How does this even happen
im a beginner
i only used inf and motorized
i have to invade denmark just so i wont be naval invaded that much
How do i win as japan chat
ok take ur time
all i see is an insane encirclement
bro how
the ai DOESNT EVEN ATTACK
from alsace lorraine
did you put no divisions on the border
i put 34
24*
special made for defense
also DEMOCRATIC GERMANY
wanted to use hist path with democracy to easily form the eu
democratic germany 😭
bro wheres the tanks
this looks like sum shit wilhelm'd see in his nightmares
didnt even use them yet
also austria joined the entente so
im cooked
should have built more civs ngl
just restart at that point bro
or
nah
manually disband the faction
put them in the south
i didnt know i could fail so bad
i got balls of steel and blood of molten iron mfs aint gettin through this
just pull a tommykay and blame supply
it will be a glorious endsieg
good luck ig
try to get the soviets to fight for you, maybe?
cause a war with them and entente
no im in the central powers
i know
ill wait until the soviets go in on romania
poland exists so if ussr decides to invade im gonna take back some of my territory
did they do trotsky or something
yer
also greece is probably going to die cuz they went communist and formed the balkan socialist union
they are at war with japan
does the nuclear reactor count as a nuclear power research
worst world scenario
french faction dominance
anyone want to play ww1 mod 💔
Great War or Great War Redux?
ww1 multiplayer rebalanced
Not anymore, it was added in Man The Guns which was made free a little while ago
y'all give me an achivement thats not too hard but still medium to hard difficulty
Hot take, paradropping france is boring
Plus I can pretty much just walk in anyways, not like they defend much
Race for Germany. Capitulate Germany after the fall of France as the Soviet Union before allies control 1 German state.
Sounds pretty easy
Just limiting enough since you can’t cheese early Germany, but free enough to where it can be done with a lot of different strategies.
bittersteel ahh situation
oooh i like that one thanks
send ts to distastersaviour yeah
how do i get the save
bro 2067 my year fr
Can I give you a challange again but easier
lwky how do we feel about the new navy rework?
л
easier for new players
easier how? a deathstack on strike force doesn't work anymore
works even better because ai splits their navy
fuel has died but will take some time to figure out fleet configuration. problem is minor powers doing anything hasn't been properly accounted for. they should of added better white peace mechanic
So L is a no?
paradox said they were gonna fix the navy AI so idk
naval invasions are worse, way worse
it takes 40-50 days no matter what invasion u do which is idiotic
+2 dlcs back to back making sea lion even more annoying
yeah, the dlc named no comrpomise no surrender and conditional surrender stays the same like wtf
pretty sure it takes less with marines
havent tried tho i dont use marines
nope,same
yea factions rework without that..... would have made me want to spend the $30 just if they had made that better
This challange is using Germany btw
Volga germanY?
What
The challenge is conquesting Europe but dlcless and non historical
What do you say
wait a sec, factions rework? what did they change
I forgot about engineers on Albania and took maintenance comp
i havent bought the new dlc (yet, maybe?)
do not buy its not worth it
Did you know there's a secret Germany hidden in RUSSIA? And it's incredibly disgusting and weak? And it can reunite germany? Help me.

what does it do other than that one new building and new trees
hoi4 devs do be greedy tbf, the dlcs are so ass lol. modders do better job than they
how tf do I invade china
Revork of doctrines, navy, and new coal resource
mooders and mods are like one of the only reasons the game is doing so well and is so succesful
the game keeps growing and growing
And alliances
added so that you could have faction rules and made it harder to join allies because now you can set factions to require ideology.faction theators for minor buffs and faction goals
the navy and coal rework also works without the dlc
Oh
sayonly paid stuff.thats all in the free patch
so you can set faction requriements in a way
I can't be the only one who hates the new navy, right? It just doesn't work as intended for me.
thats fine its paradox trickory at work
yea. and block ai from wars with 1. honestly its at most $10 woorth of stuff
I managed to get Japan in the Comintern in early 1938 since we were both at war with China and I had diplomatic pressure.
No DLC
But Japan not being in a faction at game start hugggge
the 10 dollar priced ones are the tank skins and radio packs, i'd say 15-20 as it actually brings new content
would have to refer to the dev diary for more.but i cheaked out the stuff in an mp game and most of it would not have much game impact if your someone who likes to paint the map in your countrty color
Focus trees, skins, radio, all pretty meh and only worth if you have a lot of disposable income.
My God, joining Allies has became so tricky. Now I have to guarantee any country Germany haven't touched yet, while playing as non-aligned country. Declaring war will prevent joining allies because offensive war
The actual content DLC’s that add designers or other UI elements are good.
then $15max especially scince i owned waking the tigger before and this dlc was just an improvement on that
Does setting up the naval invasion of Normandy as USA require constructing Naval Bases to increase the dominance? Setting an admiral and fleets on Patrol, Strike Force, and Convoy Raiding only extends my range so far? Is there possibly a tech research I am missing?
yep sounds abt right
this is another reason why im happy without dlc.parodox making minor country playthroughs annoying
im pretty sure the new dlc nerfs china even more which i like playing by making it lose more territory
am i the only one that liked NCNS a lot
idk man it just feels good to have a competent DLC
sure its expensive but
i liked it
Yeah China is even more disgusting to play now imo
yes I think so
I actually really enjoy it. Although as my previous messages suggest, I am struggling with the Naval Dominance mechanic as USA.
But now you have alt paths and fascist one is quite bonkers lately with integrating different parts of Asia
honestly would be liked more if price was better and if persons who had waking the tigger before got some benifit to purchasing it
i really like the new faction mechanics actually
yeah thatd be nice
reworks actually look fun and faction mechanic
you now need to have some ships on patrol and some on strike force, a deathstack on strike force doesnt work anymore so heres that
and the new home base port mechanic is weird icl
I’m gonna wait a while till more mods integrate faction mechanics and goals and till the price drops cause I don’t have alot of money right now.
ig the issue i have with this DLC is as japan no matter what you do youre one way or another in a war with China
i gamed that already
but past that its pretty good imo
Yeah, I've been splitting my fleets. Destroyers patrolling, subs raiding, larger ships strike force in the area, but the range just stops 2 to 3 tiles in to the Atlantic and doesn't go further.
you meant the update right, even without dlc u get the same focus tree
honestly japan focus tree is all i was asking for
yea someone should just make a mod and call it ncns but for free
now we need US, UK france and vichy france they're way too oudated
cuz you have to set that port as your home base
where is the chalenge?
either turn on automatic home base shit or press ctrl + right click on the desired port whilst selecting ur fleet
It’s the ui mechanics, hard to mimic.
and ensure its free update.or leave it as it is and just give me hoi5 if your gonna charge me a whole game for it anyways

hoi5 is probably gonna end up like eu5
well maybe in 3 months i might end up on the pirate train after paying for every dlc up to this point
Oh hey what’s up
Is that a specific mechanic? Outside of selecting an admiral and docking them at the same Harbor?
control click the port you want to select as its home base
yea there is a button at the top of your fleet with an option to set automatic
yes, you must select a home base for ur fleets so they can freely move around that port
otherwise they won't go out
Idk if it's possible to keep only one task of a fleet under one admiral in certain port. I played mapuche Chile once with NCNS, asked Guatemala for docking rights, all my ships were in one fleet/under one admiral, and instead of putting a single task kf like 4 ships into Guatemala with ctrl+rightclick, all fleet was driving into Guatemala. I don't feel it's supposed to work like this, it can be painful when you have to keep those ships under stronger admiral and separate those ships into another FLEET, and even then they weren't putting any naval dominance. Might try it again later.
btw are space marines considered cheating in SP
Okay, gotcha. Will do.
What I've been able to get to work is as follows: Separate Destroyers and set them on patrol in however many areas and SPLIT task forces. Then a doomstack will automatically strike force the area if in the same fleet.
think selecting individually might work.but the home base is for the whole fleet as far as i know.only done tiny fleet stuff so far
CHINA IS MINE
CHINAAAH -DJT
I just want to naval invade! 🥲 considering disabling NCNS
will do absolutely nothing btw, even without NCNS the navy stays the same
maybe there are some mods that bring back the old navy idk
Damn, that's unfortunate!
take tibet
Also, don't believe so.
Play how you want
It's technically cheesy, but it does make sense for armored infantry support
I had my first game crash yay!
Congrats those are always fun
I love when my game just randomly crashes for no reason
my entire gpu crashed due to this game bro
it really doesn't it gives too much armor and bonuses for a single tank battalion
it's not really about me, I'm just curious
Not really cheating
But cheesy yes
Its my first japan game i have no idea what im doing
Cheating is like a cheat mod or the console
I said it's cheating and ridiculous in hoi4 subreddit and people were pissed, and that's a light way to put it
Is it that worth building self-propelled aa investing like 10 or more mils when regular aa exists?
Reddit must be avoided at all costs
Or space marines are any SPGs?
You get weird people out kf Reddit
deadass lol
What does thorax have to do with anything
I suppose so?
It’s armored
Hoi4 reddit is where you go to be flamed for doing nothing
support aa works very very well already, so i'd say not
I dunno I saw you guys posting ponies and I wanted to join in sorry 🥺
doesn't matter when AA is dirt cheap, you're never gonna run out of it
Hmmmmm
No
It’s pretty good for space marines
it was US
UK too
I personally have a feeling that SPAA can be good only when enemies have too many planes and you produce none like fighting majors
Otherwise just SP artillery I guess
The Soviets did most of all in the starting months of the war
sure it's historical and it was very effective irl but it still gives way more stats and it's way more op than how it was irl
I disagree, but it wouldn't piss me off. Haha
Self propelled artillery my beloved
it's a game afterall and division templates in hoi4 are calculated really weirdly
yea fair enough
would need to go back a version completely
you don't think it's a bit too busted?
It doesn’t give most in terms of extra AA
Honestly, so obnoxious. Took a LONG break from this game. Finally came back to learn the one mechanic I've avoided and now it's even weirder LOL
Dlc less Europe conquest, but you cant do historical path
It’s easy, have a destroyer fleet on patrol and your main fleet on strike force
xd
I think it's too strong, but not cheating.
Space marines arent too strong against a player atleast
If they know what they’re doing that is
it's very easy to counter it in mp but in sp the ai doesnt know any better
I think space marines are too overrated even in sp
you're gonna need full heavy tank divisions in mp if u actually wanna do something
yeah pretty much
If u don’t have enough fuel you Cant even hold that many
Play USA 🙂
And if you’re planning on having only a few divisions of them, just get a whole tank division at that point
Me when I play the US (I don’t need space marines)
LOL
I don't use them either. So many cool templates, I would rather just make a less sweaty one that's cool and serves the correct purpose.
US is probably the most op and easiest nation to play in sp anyways
extremely hard in mp though
Agreed
youre single handedly expeceted to carry all of the allies
Yeah, the whole D-Day thing in MP isn't quite the surprise it was IRL, huh?
Space marines arent sweaty at all
I think it’s easy in both sp and mp
Im a us main
Never once failed a d day in my life
The savior I have been looking for. How the heck do you get the navy to work for it?
In current build
peak
Do you want designs or something
Navy has not changed
In terms of designs snd stuff
It's just the mechanics for domincance. Watched a few videos at breadth, but not translating to the game. I came back to HOI4 specifically to learn the Navy as it was the last piece for me.
Although if you want to beat the Japanese now, if they know navy well enough at atleast, youre going to have to micro your ships to where they are present
I see
Okay so every ship basically has dominance
The longer the ship stays the better the dominance, once it reaches the max dominance possible for that ship it will stop giving dominance
Epic
So you have to constantly be on every tile you want
We an definitely talk pony pony here, of course in reference to Equestria at War
Patrol with destroyers
Reminds me of the equestria game I did the other day
I did not bring on democracy when the war was over
And strike force ON the tiles you are patrolling with your main fleet
wheres my german reich
Had to keep celestia around ofc
If you have subs they work the same way as before
Right. I tried to gain dominance in Atlantic. I can acheive up to about 98 percent on 3 tiles and then it stops on any further tiles.
Keep in mind when you are patrolling to split your fleet into more task forces within the admirals
With Destroyers Patrol, Subs Raidning, and a SF
You must have more task forces under your admiral
Splitting the task forces? I have tried that too. I must be doing something wrong.
I've tried anywhere from 2-16 task forces all with patrol, SF, and raids
thats too extreme
Like you know how you halve the fleet from 16 into two eight strong task forces?
think you meant to say based
no
You need more
yes it is based but too much
wasn't even directed at anyone but sure
There should be a task force for each tile
Have The Loud House mod for hoi4
holy cancer
Why must this exist
Id rather play tno
or even millennium dawn
is millenium dawn optimised for 2026?
no
It's compatible with the latest versions, but definitely not optimized
and it wasnt the ussr capping or anythnig
why'd anybody even wanna play that mod in a total war game is beyond me
testing out if it crashes
am curious to see what it is
I understand. i have had anywhere from 2-16 balanced Task Forces set to take dominance over lets say about 8 tiles and they just stop at 3
im pretty sure theres another mod thats like milleium dawn but with less bloat and bs
idrc to play modless or with mod
i was curious if its hype
Novum Vexillum runs faster than Millennium dawn in terms of modern day mods
yeah that's the one
can i ask yall for a light tank template (no i cannot design my own tanks)
And then there's TFR which is another modern day mod in another universe of Earth
in mil dawn?
idk does anybody even use light tanks
i am a noob bassically so why not use em for once
Light tank recon / airborne light tank
i dont have the dlc to make space marines
What is so better at medium tanks over light ones?
It's not stopped by DLC. You can still have a tank batallion in your infantry divisions, although you won't be able to customize the tank to suit your infantry needs
Better stats, can use a better gun.
i still kinda need a division design so
just do 7 light tanks + 8 motorized with logistics, support anti air, med flame panzer (if dlc, if not then use maintenace company), and assault engineers
this is quite decent and good for sp
For your convenience. Currently, it is on sale

having medium guns without sacrifing breakthrough
ty
everything except speed and cost
like, can i have a screenshot i guess
this but ignore the medium tanks and put lights there instead
btw with like all dlcs, are there way more unique focus trees?
to which country?
dlcs do add a LOT of new focus trees and reworked ones though
in general
like lets say for south america, does it all for like a lot of nations?
yeah with all dlcs u get basically focus tree for every country except saudi arabia, central america yemen, nepal bhutan and very minor nations
yes theres one that gives all of south america focus tree
i love that one
im pretty sure it was brazil, argentina, chile, uruguay, and paraguay
i heard chile can core like all of america
i think so yeah idk ive not played chile
if you have time rn maybe wanna play it
im on mobile and on vacation lol
dont even have a pc at the moment
ooh, enjoy your vacation
thanks bro
also i need to find out why game constantly freezes
vanilla? without millemium dawn or any major mods?
yea
no idea hoi4 doesnt freeze without any crazy mods for me
its the only game that freezes this much honestly
could it be cus of non historical?
Could be lots of reasons
theres no communist brits or french so
How long is the freeze.
that's normal
set autosaves to less frequent like monthly if it bothers you
also, any advice for increasing war support if am on the basic focus tree
bruh it does that for everyone
if it really bothers u u can change autosave to every 6 months or a year in settings
wrong everyone has the attache
i dont think it crashes like yearly for everyone
freezes... idk about crashing it doesnt crash for me
my game boutta lag from unaligned britan
Those damned britons
Anyways I finally got The sun will never set
I'm satisfied now
non alligned italy
it freezes due to peace conferences and civil wars/wars beginning
I'm trying to do a fascist uk run and before I even became fascist France just declared on me??
Does anybody maybe know where this is coming from
justification or focus
or decision
Yall does this look decent? (New player, oppose Hitler, free elections, anti commie bloc Poland and other nations in faction max tank researched and inf)
1948
well, modern tanks suck (see #ask-for-help-here message)
all your mechs are severely underequipped
you haven't assigned your armies to a field marshal (do it and use its frontline tool, maintain SHIFT when assigning it to create a fluid frontline)
and heavy tanks aren't really good in singleplayer
I’ve done field now
also, that very few divs for 1948
I hope these are at least of very high quality (and that you have air)
Mhm
Wdym under equipped
the orange bar says your divs (mech and tanks) are extremely underequipped
or undermanned
Also I have more deviaions on commie France border
I think so I’m producing stuff so it should be good
it isn't right now
check your deficits
hi
Yeah in like 2 years it’ll be fine it says it will catch up
2 years 😭
either increase production dramatically or convert divs back to infantry
I’ll be fine it’s not like soviets are developing nuclear program
soviets will have wall of divs
you'll need something to hold them and push, and those underequipped division will be dogshit at either
although, they'll hold, if you have enough air and CAS
I’ll call my allies maybe?
I’m building that up rn
you're only building military factories, right ?
I build civ early games now mil
you have rubber secured for the planes ? noconvoy raid or war with rubber-holders or you have enough refineries to cover your need ?
decided to check why tf france still couldnt kill the austrian netherlands, yeah. i "might" have killed too many frenchmen during the 1st coalition (im prussia)
I’m trading fine with USA I’ll get enough stuff from it I have lots of civs
well then, worry about the deficits now. ensure you have enough of everything before the war and, most importantly, make sure it's useful quality
if you have tank and plane designers, there's basically 1 or 2 designs you can use at most this late in the game (especially the latest)
if you have built a plane that's even 10% inferior to soviet's, they'll get shat on in no time as an example
do you know a mod that adds path to small nations
road to 56
Well I’ll research end game cas and fighter I already have end game tank so yeah I’ll focus on that and when I have enough of everything I’ll attack with the coalition.
good luck then ! don't forget to ~~avoid ~~ not do massive assault with red bubbles and you'll probably be fine
there are also many smaller mods for specific nations
Thanks! Ik how bubble work
but I don't know of any
rt56 ? idk
probably the latest but they probably have submods or forks. check the workshop
i meant the game version
it's not like it's hidden or anything, it's literally the most subbed mod on the workshop
googling <nation> focus tree mod has a good chance to find results
read again
since its meant for 1.16.10 but my dumbass doesnt know to change this
they asked if I knew of any, I tell them the one I know about ...
.
yea im just adding to what you said
then reply to them, not me 😭
mid
rt56 is updated for 1.17.2 wth ?
then i got wrong one
sort by most subscribed on the front page, it'll be the first mod with no filter
i replied without ping to you just because wanted to say it as an addition to what you said and they were in chat lol
anyways doesn't matter
i dont understand this game bruh i keep losing to france and poland as germany how?
skill issue
time to play denmark and see if it works
ok it worked
it def worked
this game has a learning curve. its fine that you lose, everyone lose their first games, just try to understand what everything does
you can watch the beginners guide
and read the tooltips
the problem is that i dont understand why exactly im losing
i cant make out the reason
either horrible templates/designs or strategy
i still dont know how to make a good army
you wanna do some multiplayer maybe
18w inf
nah
i always use it and works like a dream
so what do you say
how does it get to this bruh
why medium tanks its expensive
too little inf it seems
medium flame tanks are the best flame tanks
if u can afford em
and u dont need light recon
none of the companies are must
there are a lot of good ones
its just an example
helicopter, signals, etc. are also good
if u can afford arty replace liek 4 14/4s are good
hey
budget offensive units
line arty is not good
is it normal for all of my units to be at low org all the time
no
u need to set a defensive line and hold
welp if it works it works
especially against ai templates
hey
wanna do a normal multiplayer game
i can't, not near pc for the weekend
i can
lets do it
alr
I just got the 1947 Imperial Confrence Event! The Brits are doing it!
any country you wanna specifically play
1947...
might as well a germany game
prob would like to take this into dms
ok
base game or mods
base game for now
alr
dmed you
all of my allies in blue are my puppets/ colonies. why have i not gotten the soviet onion achievement? 😭
why are they all anime girls
maybe sakhalin?
something could be up there
wow its all anime girls
why did you do this in the most difficult way possible
the most difficult way possible would have been fighting the allies too. astaghfirullah
why didnt you go down the autonomous soviet republics route and just release everyone
i'm now doing it the easiest way possible by becoming soviet union aland
i was also testing a new infantry build for USSR so i wanted to fight the germans
ooooh
always read achievements on paradox wikis, paradox does a horrible job at decribing what u must do get the achievemnt on steam
i fixed the soviet onion wiki page a while back
it was a bit wrong
so, i can confirm the method in the soviet onion page on the wiki works
(since i sorta wrote it)
the original paradox wiki?
wait a sec anybody can change it?
thats how a wiki operates
yurr
youll get smited if you vandalize, but yes you can change it
shit maybe that's why teachers always advise us to not use wikipedia
id trust a community maintained infodump over textbooks from 1926 thanks
@mild hazel is it because some of my subjects are colonies instead of puppets?
the req states it needs to be subjects
so colonies should be fine
dominions should even be fine
Japanese protectorates
i updated that page before ncsn dropped. if its out of date then woops
@mild hazel will i get banned if i put the most outrageous and misinformative shit in the wiki
of course you will
interesting
Japanese focus tree page was out of date for 1.5 months. Idk how it's now
omfg
i thought guarentees werent possible under 25% wt
i don't know
I got other fun thing
black magic uk guarantee
How do u play France like the focus order and stuff
which path?
Hist, world tension 18%. I think wargoal on Japan was from focus.
Maybe Finland or Uk have some focuses for that.
Like Turkey
yeah that's my best guess
getting guarantees from both Germany and Uk for free
freaking annoying
i dont recall any for guaranteeing finland in 1936
otherwise soviet union and britain would go to war in the winter war
Hist?
It's still in process😭
well...you let the germans beat you in 1940, then establish vichy france, get exiled to your colonies and use the new focus tree it gives (its pretty linear and explains what you should be doing with each focus)
idk, im not good at historical larping paths
I can give you broad strokes.
- Devalue the franc as first focus
- Remove disjointed government modifier as quickly as possible via focus tree (you can search for it in the top right and then just read)
- Build up fortifications starting in Jan 1939 along your italian, luxembourg, and netherlands boarder. Finish the focus 'extend the maginot' before 1940.
i thought they said they wanted historical?
i think they mean historical france ideology but not losing to germany x3
how historical are you looking for @flint wyvern
I don't wanna spam forts I wanna use tanks and anti tank
What?
good luck
if youre just playing democratic france, you dont even need the buildup. just get mad at the germans when they remilizitarize, declare war on 1936 since they havent pumped up their army at this stage and just get a free solo germany win
I want them to take Czech and austria
make sure you have troops stationed near the north for the communist uprising
oh
it's hardly solo with czechoslovakia and uk and poland usually joining
(by the time you beat them)
so you want to deviate from history only at the 1940 battle
I want like a real historical run
Yes
ok then this route is perfect
lol
sorry
Ye but I don't want to extend the maginot
just make good defensive templates then
Like what 9/0 with flame tank?
germany in 1940 without any forts is brutal
And other supports
yeah france starts with a land warfare facility i believe so rush flame tanks then, if possible always get flame tanks lol
but have a few heavy hitters and then do line filler defensive units
agreed. i've tried many many times to make something feeling 'satisfying' curb stomping ai germany as historical france, but you just don't have enough industry in 1940 with all the BS from the focus tree taking so much time
Soviet union 🙂
Ye I'll obviously make a tank division
@mild hazel is it okay if I had you? I have like no female friends who play this game 🥺 👉🏻 👈🏻
prioritize defence until they spread themselves thin with the soviets
my bad😭 just messing around
of course, im not really good at mp though
If you're editing wiki articles I'm sure you have enough knowledge to curb stomp most casual players if you really wanted to LOL
nah, mp is on a whole nother level
idk. when I've joined MP pvp dedicated servers there are usually 1 or 2 'good' people. the rest are noobs who will forget to build civs as germany or something
competitive hoi4 players have more bark than bite.
Average Hungary Game
How did you even get all of France
hungary's natural borders
idk road to 56 has a thing where you can just do whatever you want for treaties and no other nation choses anything
Oh by the way
Player led peace conferences?
yes it is amazing
you have the choice of making accurate borders or extreme border gore
allwyas has ben Hungary.. Allways will be... 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺 🇭🇺
hungary the global hegemon

road to 56 idk it migth just be a glitch
north america 2026 map leak
Who owns British Columbia? Why is there just a random yellow country there
Supply is an issue in this region, and also Anticosti island is connected to the rest of quebec
Commie japan
I have a supply in every province there
i hate that
You might have supply issues going deeper into Quebec, at which point you can naval invade
But tbh it doesn't matter since i am spreading like i am in plague inc
usa is not on war economy
How to core New Zealand as Hungary:
First, have New Zealand have a referendum to join Australia
Then reform Australia-Hungary
they are still on ind isolation
I want to fight the full power USA

Yk what i am switching tags only to set USA on War economy
Please tell me that is a joke
Nope
Oof
Done , let's dance mr Truman
lowk whats the best infantry german template mid game
also is anti tank support even worth it?
in sp absolutely not
hard attack is useless
I think this was my best Ethiopia war so far
i cant lie pure 13 inf with support artillery, aa and logistics works well asf for early mid and late game in sp
no idea why
Mk ima gice that a try see how it works for me
bet
gives you all the warscore
so you have to give the AI what they want
or border gore
or take it all
or accurate
i found a country with no leader
I hate the fact there is no event for the fall of washingtong for the USSR
