hoi4-general

[atomic grove]

so u NEED to mass produce them

this is common sense

[opal nymph]

Delaware also is absorbed into Maryland

[quasi shoal]

How many mils was it im lazy

[opal nymph]

Maryland consumes all

[warped flint]

How do you win the border wars in china

[atomic grove]

he had 13 mils on his new tanks

[quasi shoal]

Wtf

[atomic grove]

and 13 mils on some old tanks

[quasi shoal]

How many did he have on mecha

[atomic grove]

and then 5 on amph tanks

[opal nymph]

You place your 6 best units. Build planning bonus with 1 general before you start the conflict

Then pray

[atomic grove]

15

[distant knoll]

bruh what is this

[quasi shoal]

Wtf

[formal bronze]

Also, I'm running out of Steel, because I'm building a production line of THESE unbelievably stupid, but actually necessary in this playthrough, things. Yes, I might be building Ice Carriers, and boy howdy do they LOVE to gobble Steel when being made.

[opal nymph]

Just wait until you see the state of New England

[quasi shoal]

Isn't mecha like 8ic normally

[atomic grove]

then trade

or

[quasi shoal]

4 or 5 if you lower it with army xp

[atomic grove]

make ur economy law to limited exports

[formal bronze]

The map is running out of Steel.

[quasi shoal]

so don't???

You're not required to make ships

[atomic grove]

also i dont recommend building ice carriers

u already have a huge and good navy

[quasi shoal]

It's pretty easy to kill the entire world's navy with at most like 3-4 production lines of light cruisers

[opal nymph]

So, when is D-Day

[atomic grove]

u dont need more carriers

u need better TANKS

[quasi shoal]

And if you're feeling fun 1-2 carriers

[opal nymph]

Not a single troop to Europe

[quasi shoal]

Why do you have so many troops on continental us

[opal nymph]

Navy is fun, but you might want to try to do land operations

[quasi shoal]

No one's gonna invade their

[quasi shoal]

There

[formal bronze]

Eventually. I have problems though right now. The Soviet Union is literally about to capitulate and then Germany is going to core it. I kid you not.

[quasi shoal]

Why tf do you have 28 divs on guam

[opal nymph]

well

[atomic grove]

fym core it

they cant

they are fascist

[opal nymph]

Let's consider the following

[atomic grove]

they cant form eu

[opal nymph]

The US did operation torch in 1942

The US did operation husky in 43

The US did operation overlord in 1944

[quasi shoal]

Have you lend leased them

At all

[opal nymph]

This all involved them sending troops over to Africa and Europe

You have done literally none of that

And the Soviets are dying due to a lack of a western front aside from Italy

[quasi shoal]

They have 10 divs in iceland

[opal nymph]

Which I assume the British did

[quasi shoal]

So like technically

[atomic grove]

my man

where are the damn field marshals

i dont think u should play usa

[opal nymph]

We might have overwhelmed him

[distant knoll]

The long March

[opal nymph]

Nono, the US is a beginner friendly nation

Let him cook

The place might be smokey, but he might be making some really nicely smoked Jerky

[atomic grove]

like every hoi4 player'

theres a lot of mechanics

in hoi4

[distant knoll]

the next time im coming back to play hoi4 will be when they release a luxembourg dlc, or a new usa rework

no, it will be when they release a luxembourg dlc

bycott paradox

[formal bronze]

Somewhat maybe, but not really. A, Germany in this game fully commits to Barbarossa no matter the cost and will never divert forces, and B, these jerks have had something to say about it, Fascist Axis Portugal fighting Communist Spain, who is part of the Comintern. For a while, they held all of Spain and even held Gibraltar.

[opal nymph]

what im saying is involve yourself in europe

Naval invade

D day

Something

Take Berlin

Base naval invasion tech gives 2 invasions of 6

[formal bronze]

I'm probably going to have to go about the messier business of marching through Siberia to reinforce the Soviet Union.

[opal nymph]

NOO

WESTERN FRONT

You are worse than Chruchill when it comes to cross channel operations

Or attack from Italy

Why are you allergic to a western front

You need to relieve pressure from the Soviets

[quasi shoal]

You have 2 open western fronts right there

[formal bronze]

Hmm? I did lots of Naval Invasions in the Pacific.

[quasi shoal]

Maybe 3 if you count the italy split

[opal nymph]

CROSS CHANNEL OPERATIONS

Like English CHANNEL

[quasi shoal]

Do that too

[remote quarry]

me when i do everything except trying to win the war

[formal bronze]

D-Day is HARD.

[opal nymph]

...

[remote quarry]

...

[atomic grove]

dude

[opal nymph]

It is hard when you have 0 troops in Europe

[quasi shoal]

So then go through france

Or through spain

Or austria

[atomic grove]

just go kill italy

and then

[opal nymph]

Okay, you have 1940 naval invasion tech, right?

[atomic grove]

land on wilhelmshaven

[quasi shoal]

Italy's dead 😭

[opal nymph]

That should be 4 invasions of 8

[formal bronze]

It's what I've been trying to do, but I've been busy trying to defeat Portugal's navy so I can get over there.

[atomic grove]

oh

[quasi shoal]

Oh my god

[atomic grove]

go thru yugoslavia then

[opal nymph]

That is 1 and a half armies worth you can land on the beaches

[atomic grove]

are u serious

[opal nymph]

Portugal has a navy of like 30 destroyers max

[quasi shoal]

1: it's portugal they have like 10 boats

2: they will prolly not be on convoy raiding

[opal nymph]

Because they buy from the UK/Italy

But never Italy due to perma war with ethiopia

[quasi shoal]

3: the convoy raiding is really not a huge deal

[atomic grove]

u have the strongest navy

[opal nymph]

The IJN? Weak
The Portuguese Navy? Death incarnate

[formal bronze]

There are roving invisible submarines across the entire world, I can't ship my troops anywhere.

[distant knoll]

the hoi4 community coming together to help a new player beat all of europe in 1946 as the us

[tulip thorn]

I love Portuguese destroyer spam

[opal nymph]

Take a few casualties

JUST GET TROOPS INTO THE UK PLEASE

[distant knoll]

there is NO way

you are scared of ai subs

die a bit

go send in your troops

[quasi shoal]

Can you even lose divs to convoy raids

[distant knoll]

its possible

[opal nymph]

Patrol the route you want the divs to take

[atomic grove]

dude

[distant knoll]

only if you stay there for too long

[atomic grove]

convoy escort

omd

[opal nymph]

Very possible

[quasi shoal]

And can't you just convoy escort and the BEST NAVY in the world will defend them

[opal nymph]

But that is usually me carrying divisions from Italy to Africa and the whole Royal Navy wants me dead

[quasi shoal]

It never happens to me but i avoid moving across contested areas usually

[quasi shoal]

That's the only time i move across contested areas

But i only do it like once per game

[atomic grove]

just please stop playing usa

play something else

[distant knoll]

let the man play the us

[atomic grove]

like germany

[opal nymph]

I usually like to keep casualties to a minimum

[quasi shoal]

Before i've sunk most of the royal navy at least

[atomic grove]

usa has so much

[opal nymph]

But wow

[atomic grove]

to keep track of

[quasi shoal]

If they struggle against the portugese navy as the us

[opal nymph]

You are going to lose maybe 15k max from convoy raiding

[quasi shoal]

Think about them trying to sealion

[opal nymph]

But please, send troops to the UK

[atomic grove]

oh yeah

[opal nymph]

Maybe from Iceland

[quasi shoal]

Maybe the 28 divs he has on guam

[opal nymph]

I doubt the Mid-Atlantic gap is causing many issues

[opal nymph]

He has 7 armies in the US

[quasi shoal]

That too

[opal nymph]

Man needs to take risks

[distant knoll]

gun behind every blade of grass ahhh

[opal nymph]

Just put some fallback orders in the UK and ship the divisions there

Just please, open a western front

How are you more scared of the Portuguese than the Japanese

[distant knoll]

the portugese just have that much aura

[quasi shoal]

TWO have been opened 😭

And he has 0 divs there ✌️

[opal nymph]

Italian front isnt the true western front but yeah

[atomic grove]

bittersteel would be screaming at this guy

[opal nymph]

0 divisions in europe

[distant knoll]

who is bittersteel 🙏

aint nobody cares about him

[remote quarry]

usa challenge: win the war without ever deploying any division or lend leasing any equipment

lol

it would be fun

[quasi shoal]

Ez

Spam air

[distant knoll]

its easy

just wait for the soviets to win

and raid the germans

[charred lake]

Germany didn't even anchuluss, bc they're at war with the US for some damn reason...easiest win ever

[distant knoll]

and the japanese

[opal nymph]

I was close with boat only

But I had amtrak, amphibious tank divisions as land boats

Also flying boats suck as dogfighters

[quasi shoal]

I should run strat and tactical bomber spam as us

Can you put fighter guns on heavies?

I always forget to make them

[opal nymph]

USAF game

[opal nymph]

Heavy Fighters are medium airframes

Medium airframes can be flying boats

[quasi shoal]

Ik

Is there like super heavy fighters

[opal nymph]

No, large airframes cant sadly

I tried

[quasi shoal]

💔

[distant knoll]

me when i cant put heavy machine guns on my b-17

[quasi shoal]

Ok i'll run heavy fighters and bombers only

[opal nymph]

You can as turrets

But not as main armament

You can get an alright amount of air attack on bombers

But I have to head out now

Cya everyone, im tired

[distant knoll]

rest soldier, you have fought hard

[formal bronze]

@opal nymphLOL, now we're screwed. Cold War, here we come, eventually!

Free France is in the Allies, but capitulated at the moment. Once it's back in the game, we're at war with the Soviet Union.

[quasi shoal]

They're basically dead anyways

[atomic grove]

put field marshals

and put divs

[quasi shoal]

Do you just like let the ai do your army organization

Except they actually use field marshalls

[formal bronze]

Oh, I do use them. Those armies without them are mostly just USA garrison that I should probably assign to other armies, from the game's start. I try to have nearly everyone else have a general, and I'll try grouping some of these armies together with Field Marshalls.

[formal bronze]

I don't really see the point of Army Groups, 24 divisions, a single army is usually enough on a front because any more than that strains Supply.

[tulip thorn]

How is a single army of basic infantry ruining supply that much

[formal bronze]

Because they're all in just a few tiles?

[tulip thorn]

What kind of infantry are you using

[tulip thorn]

Yeah thats why

Dont keep that many units on 1 tile

Spread them out

A fall back line, a front line even area defense orders

[formal bronze]

7/2.

[tulip thorn]

That should not have huge supply issues in most areas

[formal bronze]

Front Lines are horribly inefficient, you take massive offensive penalties from not stacking ridiculous amounts of units on a single tile.

[tulip thorn]

This is just false

[formal bronze]

The AI attacks just fine with 10+ units on a tile.

As it turns out, less really is LESS, and more really is MORE.

Less is NOT more in Hearts of Iron IV, unless you're talking about Mothership Fighters, in which case, YEAH BABY.

[tulip thorn]

What are you even trying to say

[tulip thorn]

My guy, attacking with infantry for 1 is not good. 2 stacking lots of units on one tile gives you attack debuffs due to supply and combat width

[formal bronze]

if you want to break through enemy lines, you HAVE to concentrate forces ridiculously.

[tulip thorn]

nope

The humble exceeding combat width debuff and low supply debuff

[formal bronze]

It's not possible to match the combat width. The devs knew what they were doing, making a joke, when they introduced this mechanic. It does nothing except provide inescapable penalties for reasons.

It should be removed.

[tulip thorn]

You literally can fit combat width

Attacking from more sides increases it

And it forces you to make more efficient units

[formal bronze]

No, I mean terrain combat width.

[tulip thorn]

You mean combat width being different between terrains

[formal bronze]

Like this, see? 70 combat width in a game with an average division width of 20 defensively and 30 to 36 offensively is a joke.

[tulip thorn]

36 is meta combat width for pushing

ts lowkey tuff

[formal bronze]

Yeah, but two divisions of the same are 72 Combat Width, which exceeds the terrain's combat width.

[tulip thorn]

You do know combat width is increased by attacking from more sides

[formal bronze]

Is this a bad doctrine? Probably, but I'm not going to change it since I already completed it.

I used to be decent at Doctrine, but since the Doctrine rework I'm not so good at it.

[tulip thorn]

Its fine I guess

[formal bronze]

This is the one you like, isn't it?

[tulip thorn]

I personally like this one

Dont know how streamlined deployment isnt done yet but whatever

[quasi shoal]

Dude

Why do you just not have other doctrines

You have 300 army xp

And a -50% cost for at least one of them

[tulip thorn]

Im 75% sure they let the ai play for awhile before taking control

[quasi shoal]

Cuz armor mastery is really slow for some reason

[quasi shoal]

I think so

[tulip thorn]

I've noticed that

Its 46

Been training my armored divs for 8 months now

[quasi shoal]

I might start pumping out 50 width light tanl divisions to exercise

[quasi shoal]

Oh training gives nothing

Basically nothing

[tulip thorn]

Just 2.2 more months

[quasi shoal]

You need to attack/defend for like any mastery

[tulip thorn]

almost there

[patent apex]

I just found out if you go fascist britian imperial federation you can still do EU and core europe

[formal bronze]

What's the strategy with Flame Tanks? Light, Medium, or Heavy, and do their personal stats matter a ton?

[tulip thorn]

Tragic, i've run out of nations to easily attack against

[tulip thorn]

Mediums

Medium flame tank

[quasi shoal]

Mediums or heavies if mp, and high breakthrough

That's it

[tulip thorn]

Breakthrough

[quasi shoal]

Yeah it's annoying

2.2 months is pretty good tho

[tulip thorn]

Thats only because I have 30 of them lol

[dark stag]

where are trains in the production area

[tulip thorn]

The fact fighting the ussr with nothing but armored divs cant max armored mastery is crazy

[quasi shoal]

That's good for 30 i think

[tulip thorn]

The same place as guns, artillery and trucks

[quasi shoal]

Civilian trains under the guns and stuff

[quasi shoal]

How many mils do you have

Where you have 230 on inf and art

[tulip thorn]

942

[quasi shoal]

I think at that point you've just won the game

[tulip thorn]

Late game

Still have the usa and south america to cap

[quasi shoal]

How 😭

Usa is gonna be ez

[viscid hazel]

https://youtube.com/shorts/xl3foJmYNzI?si=_ExeXTC3hTXsIo1u

[quasi shoal]

And do you really need to do south america

[tulip thorn]

I know

Thats why I made soft attack meme

[quasi shoal]

😭

[tulip thorn]

Why not go full sandbox at this point

Thats why I like playing germany, just a damn sandbox

[quasi shoal]

Be a REAL man and max out soft attack on your divs

You can get like 6k

They die in like one hit tho

[tulip thorn]

This is the max I can get with it still being usefull enough

[quasi shoal]

What are your tank divs

[tulip thorn]

I could get way more soft attack, but i'd rather be able to use this thing more than once

[quasi shoal]

And are you using altered mecha

[tulip thorn]

?

oh like maxed mech

I lowkey forgot I could do that

[quasi shoal]

I usually do too

[tulip thorn]

I always just max the thing that makes it cheaper and forget about it

[distant knoll]

u have too much mech

[quasi shoal]

Yeah i forgot about that til recently

[quasi shoal]

They want it to be actually useful

Not just insanely high soft attack and ic

[distant knoll]

200 hp is more than enough

[tulip thorn]

Let me fix that

[quasi shoal]

You wanna know where it got that hp

[tulip thorn]

32 hp

[distant knoll]

is this peak?

[quasi shoal]

Omg wait

Are you running mobile warfare

[fickle agate]

dropped 3 nukes on Japan at the same time

overkill?

[quasi shoal]

Nooo you are 😭

[tulip thorn]

I forgor to change 💔

[distant knoll]

unc i think its the super heavy spg and land cruiser

[quasi shoal]

Too late now

[tulip thorn]

I realized my mistake around late 40

[quasi shoal]

No they dont have the last slot and the only subdoctrine they haven't maxed is armor

[tulip thorn]

After I had already maxed everything

[quasi shoal]

💔

This happened to me a few times lol

[tulip thorn]

I do it way to much

[distant knoll]

no like thats the reason for the high soft attack, aside from the heavy spgs

[quasi shoal]

I know

[tulip thorn]

Heavy spgs my beloved

[quasi shoal]

But they're running mobile warfare

Which is pretty bad unless you're doing a memey speed build

[distant knoll]

me when my division costs as much as a stacked super heavy battleship

[quasi shoal]

Which is fun tbh

[tulip thorn]

I also made 5 stacked super heavy battleships

Love them

[distant knoll]

what year is this

[tulip thorn]

So expensive

late 46

[distant knoll]

you should have 25

get outta my face

cancelled on hoi4 redit

[tulip thorn]

I focused more on aircraft carriers

Carriers my beloved

[distant knoll]

how many

[tulip thorn]

Only 20 rn, making 20 more

modern carriers

[distant knoll]

god

[distant knoll]

what mod is this

[tulip thorn]

Ik im sorry, I have upset the navy gods

[quasi shoal]

Without navy focusing

[quasi shoal]

Yes

[distant knoll]

modern carriers?

[tulip thorn]

How many of those are modern carriers

[quasi shoal]

With light cruiser focus

[quasi shoal]

All of them 🥶 🥶 🥶

Cuz modern is subjective

[distant knoll]

me when i make 100 carriers with 1 landing module and call it a day

[quasi shoal]

So for the time they were modern

[distant knoll]

(i made the greatest navy ever)

[tulip thorn]

Rookie

[formal bronze]

@quasi shoalWoo-hoo! Take that, Germany! It's going to take you a bit longer to make Land Cruisers.

[distant knoll]

ice carriers are where its at

[quasi shoal]

DUDE

Instead of raids

[distant knoll]

wow

[quasi shoal]

What if you invaded them

[distant knoll]

such a useful use of time

[quasi shoal]

And took the land facility

[distant knoll]

i support this

[tulip thorn]

Havent even researched them

[quasi shoal]

Isn't aa on them bad or sumn

[distant knoll]

you bring shame to the house of navy

[quasi shoal]

Same with armor

[tulip thorn]

So

Who cares if its bad

It makes it more expensive

So I like

[distant knoll]

u kinda need to have a module there for aa

so like

[quasi shoal]

🥶

[quasi shoal]

What

[tulip thorn]

Take that new york

!

Thats what you get for being new york

[quasi shoal]

Actually more productive

[distant knoll]

its the aa module slot

[quasi shoal]

You dont need to fill it

[distant knoll]

bruh im just going to sleep, i cant be dealing with this

[distant knoll]

if its there

you have to fill it up

if you see something empty

actually ill stop right there

Using those instead of facility raids

[dusky burrow]

they're either killing themselves or debalancing the enemy

[steel zephyr]

W speed

free divs

tuff

[thorn sleet]

The Darkest Hour Map Mod makes things always seem more epic.

No wonder Kaiserturn keeps using it.

[steel zephyr]

another 7 soviets

[vast cipher]

First game👍 😀 (i didnt last 10 minutes they junped me)

[dusky burrow]

cavalry finland hmmmm

[thorn sleet]

How does a Scandinavian country even breed horses.

[heavy vigil]

tank finland better tbh

[steel zephyr]

all my units are this

i somehow got the equipement to support it

and 86k mp in reserves still

frontline doing good, i dont see any reason to really push on further

balkan league and soviets are at war

may try take leningrad

YOO

[deep geyser]

usa just bombed me, do i give up?

[fair horizon]

chat should i keep destroying the battanians in bannerlord or play another australia playthrough?

[steel zephyr]

how is leningrad not encircled and still has supply?!

[fringe shell]

fuh argentina

became a major in allies

[vital quest]

Port

[deep geyser]

put subs down

[fringe shell]

fuh it here we go again

bro i swear if left ball republik of india will become a major im gonna fuhing quit

[steel zephyr]

soviet supply is cooked

i fear french and soviets may soon form faction

or maybe not

shit

[misty fossil]

oh my god bruh

[steel zephyr]

sea of green

[junior imp]

Its leningrad

what do you expect

It won't die until you make them only 1 tile

[steel zephyr]

🤤

on 1 tile now

[junior imp]

now attack

Btw you DID add AA right

good you did

[steel zephyr]

about to get gangbanged

the only other person fighting the soviets are fighting the allies too

[junior imp]

Soviet union is the easiest major power to destroy as anyone with solid national focus tree in Unhistorical

they just murder themselves in a civil war

I have defeated them so far as Poland like 3 or 4 times with shitty templates Austria Hungary with goated templates

and Finland in Historical

Oh btw

why are you attacking

In 1942

just start justifiying the second you can as by at least 1938 they will just show proof of them being the 3rd Roman Empire

Aka civil war

[junior imp]

I doubt you can capitulate them tbh

unless civil war gives surrender progress

[steel zephyr]

maybe but i mean

barely a civil war

[junior imp]

You got unlucky Ig

[subtle wharf]

what is better, annexing or pupetting or it just depends?

[junior imp]

Most times I get very lucky and the soviets get touched very hardly by civil war in both Archaglensk and Ukraine

But I have yet to get civil war in ukraine

[junior imp]

depends

[steel zephyr]

though their civil war helped me a bit

helped me shortern frontline by not worrying about murmansk

and let me incircle quite a few soviets in karelia

[junior imp]

Actually I'd call that not helpful

You could have formed Greater Finland

[atomic grove]

depends

if u can core it or u very desperately need it

annex

[junior imp]

but now you can't and will have to justifyu another

war goal to the 2nd USSR

[steel zephyr]

free 7 soviets to encircle

[subtle wharf]

alr thanks

[atomic grove]

if none of that, then puppet and add war reparations and resource rights

[steel zephyr]

NOOO

they escaped

atleast thats 3 encircled

cant attack head on so ill just wait it out

[winged field]

You can tbh, they barely have equipment

You can just spam attack and they die

[steel zephyr]

asked for mil access and I LOSE ALL THIS

yeah ok

well leningrad fell but i dont really get anything from fightig this

only bittersteel could save this bruh

captured narva atleast

pskov

[pale flare]

NO WAY

[low peak]

Nah. This is UK screenshot. Wiped like all in Europe - rest is probably in med or Pacific? Im too lazy to go there 😅

It's like this for me

[quiet yacht]

Why the right opposition rarely wins

The AI is so stupid

[silver burrow]

Yes

[pale flare]

ah lmao

UK in my game actually did proper fleets

though theyre dead now

this genuinly scared me

oh damn i missed a fight

im gonna invest a bit more AA i think

[low peak]

I never play air 😅

It's just too hard for me 😭

[eternal palm]

Holy bloat

[willow plume]

cas is rlly good though

itll help u win battles if u can figure it out

[gleaming iron]

yo guys is this cool

[eternal palm]

Spelling error in "Legitimacy of the forward bloc"

Otherwise fine

[gleaming iron]

ooh ok

[eternal palm]

Maybe the factory focuses are a bit uninspired

And Ban, instead of despise communism

[gleaming iron]

nah

im gonna add a communist path inside of it

[eternal palm]

Despise makes no sense in this context tho

Like wdym your national focus is to despise it, of course you do, but like, what is the action here

[gleaming iron]

its gonna make a communist civil war in the civil war of independence.

[eternal palm]

..... Then despise makes even less sense?

You know what it means right

To despise something/someone

[gleaming iron]

i know

[eternal palm]

Do you?

[gleaming iron]

bruv

[eternal palm]

I'm asking simple questions here

[pale flare]

unplayablke

[gleaming iron]

its forward bloc btw

not block

[eternal palm]

Ye whatever Mr. Legitamacy

[eternal palm]

Literally is

[undone dove]

how do i get better flamethrowers

[atomic grove]

r u trying to make a reworked indian focus tree

[atomic grove]

research them

[undone dove]

like

[gleaming iron]

yes

[undone dove]

oh wait

ye i see it

bruh 1941

[gleaming iron]

because GOE doesnt have a big focus tree for netaji

[atomic grove]

u should add a focus tree for the azad hind state that appears when clicking the decision "form the provisional government of free india" as japan and adding a decision after forming it that gives u the decision to stay as japan or switch to the new azad hind

and giving it an actual tag maybe?

thats just my idea

[gleaming iron]

nah im gonna do it the british raj way

[atomic grove]

alright

[gleaming iron]

because im tryna learn how the goe focus give me blood and i will grant you freedom works

[misty fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/strategize-pgtd-hitman-pixel-gun-tower-defense-gif-25817487

[gleaming iron]

me making this mod:

[misty fossil]

Lol

[atomic grove]

how about making it similar to the 2nd russian civil war path in vanilla?

like

[gleaming iron]

im trying my best to add events that the guy actually did

[quiet yacht]

I'm also trying to make focuses. I'm reworking the american communist path to make it similar to the first russian civil war

[atomic grove]

or

u could make events that are about the great depression

and if u make some really bad choices

u are able to start planning

for the civil war

sorta like the kaiserreich 2nd american civil war

[gleaming iron]

nice idea

[maiden verge]

Despise in this sense would probably be something related to decrease communist support instead of civil war

[atomic grove]

and what about making it so that the great depression national "idea" in usa has a negative weekly stability

[maiden verge]

However, if the point here is the indian independence, I really doubt that they would care that much about communism when the common goal is the independence itself

[atomic grove]

and if ur stability gets to a very low point

then u can start planning for the civil war

but the closer u are to ending the great depression, the negative weekly stability gets weaker

[unkempt zodiac]

hi chat

[fringe shell]

damn

[atomic grove]

those are my ideas

[maiden verge]

Hello!

[quiet yacht]

For now my idea is: try to solve problems with an organised coup, a coalition to counter it is formed, the communist militias are decisive so they gain more influence, the commies take power, civil war between some confederate and texan indipendentists, militarists, constitutionalists and perhaps fascists

[unkempt zodiac]

polish lithuanian commonwealth is also fun to play

[unkempt zodiac]

how are you

[maiden verge]

Im fine, thanks and you?

[fringe shell]

bro i played for 7 hours and wanted to do world qounqeust nut with 2 fps i cant do a shi😭 🙏

[unkempt zodiac]

takes way too long to justify as non aligned

[unkempt zodiac]

im good too

[quiet yacht]

And i plan to allow to integrate american territories into the communist usa to make some sort of union of american commie republics

[maiden verge]

I think would be good if the great depression was reworked

[pale flare]

what?

[eternal palm]

Does what it says no

Ur Danish puppet wants to join the faction

[pale flare]

oh

[eternal palm]

Ye they aren't in your faction even though they are your puppet

It's weird

[pale flare]

i thought puppets automatically join factions

oh werll

[eternal palm]

Denmark is the sole exception lmao

In all other cases they do

[pale flare]

huh

[eternal palm]

Lol

[fringe shell]

thanks god

[pale flare]

interesting

[unkempt zodiac]

i think its cus of germany

cus they usually surrender but not enter faction

[fringe shell]

i thought i played 7 hours for nothing and broken save

[eternal palm]

Not all the time, it's simply how the Danish capitulation event works

It works the same for every country

[maiden verge]

What is save's current year?

[pale flare]

you know what, imma let them get whatever

[fringe shell]

only 48

[eternal palm]

Only 💀

[gleaming iron]

[patent thistle]

[storm mica]

Guys I am wondering how to steal a navy when you capitulate a country bcs I am seeing it on yt but never saw the option in my own games

[meager valley]

[celest zenith]

By Blood Alone, Italy dlc.

[pale flare]

[storm mica]

[pale flare]

[tropic trout]

[fair horizon]

[patent thistle]

i have killed off most of the austrian army-

[fair horizon]

probably coverage btw, your planes probably cant fly far enough

[fair horizon]

OTTOMANS?

[patent thistle]

[buoyant flume]

[fair horizon]

[patent thistle]

that one war where austria and russia tried to team up against the ottomans

1789

[fair horizon]

[fair horizon]

too busy with the birth of the greatest country to ever exist

[cedar lance]

hello

[gleaming iron]

most normal path

[patent thistle]

the funny thing btw is that losses are even more devistating here then basegame

you cant just replace troops quickly

only these buttons if you meet requirements will give you units

[cedar lance]

[quasi osprey]

[gleaming iron]

[tulip thorn]

True true

Ireland is the 3rd strongest in europe

[supple breach]

what scenario was this 😭

[stark pebble]

no im historical germany and this is me being a complete idiot at the game lol
i got the game like a week ago

[supple breach]

no like the starting scenario, like 1936/1939

[stark pebble]

1936

this polish frontline happened because i didnt declare war on them and sent my troops from there to the western front, but then tehy joined the allies

slight miscalculation

somehow italy is the one saving my ass

[paper echo]

since when is italian ai competent
