bro whats your budget

[crisp wyvern]

2

[cedar lance]

i hope in the next future dlc expansion they gonna add FLEET CARRIERs

[crisp wyvern]

I hope that in the next dlc they add a mecha hitler

[cold shore]

85 euro, the screen plus the displayport cable costs 83, and the keyboard coasts 37

[crisp wyvern]

That makes a final counter attack against the allies and soviets

[cedar lance]

alr

[devout rapids]

bro just get a cheap keyboard

[cold shore]

ok

is there a difference between brand ones and off brands ?

[devout rapids]

like I went from a razor keyboard 200 euro to a 5 euro temu b

bc the razor keyboard was too big and loud

[cold shore]

ok

[cedar lance]

@crisp wyvern still a FLEET CARRIER SP would also be nice

[toxic cypress]

what shld i do now

i cant fight the allies my tech and industry too weak

[devout rapids]

go on amzon and geta 1080p one thats rlly cheap and has eneough hz

[toxic cypress]

and expansion means fighting the allies

[crisp wyvern]

for you, I only start building a navy late game, and that's when I'm playing as a major

[devout rapids]

like 100hz-144

[cedar lance]

wdym

[crisp wyvern]

as a minor country, navy is only a wet dream inside my leader's mind

[crisp wyvern]

I like building a navy late game just to get the right techs and so my ships don't get instantly wrecked once departing from the coast

[cedar lance]

OH alr

[cold shore]

it is the cheepest

[crisp wyvern]

my last game as Monarchist China, I had a ship count of 168

[cedar lance]

nice

[crisp wyvern]

i usually use console commands as ESTONIA

maybe, or maybe I'm Steiner reincarnated into a body of a salvadoran hermit

German Soviet Republic?

[violet veldt]

You are not beating the argentina allegations😭

[crisp wyvern]

Estonia has basically no resources unless you use a mod that adds more resources or unify the Baltics to get enough civs so you can start trading for more resources

[cedar lance]

alr

[toxic cypress]

oh boy

[crisp wyvern]

0/10 allies, Britain is not in the faction

[snow rain]

build better divs, not more

[stable trench]

i made the entrie devision stuff like all the rows are just infantry with the last one mechanaised infantry, with anti air, and some buffs from the companys

[snow rain]

that doesn't sound good

[stable trench]

it helped me get to that point

i had like 300 divs at the end

[crisp wyvern]

I always make an 18w/22w division template as any country

[stable trench]

i dont get much about it honestly

[sudden thistle]

So 50w divs with support AA

[stable trench]

i think

[sudden thistle]

Bro 😭

[stable trench]

wait is more width worse i never got it

[snow rain]

at some point yes. If you exceed 36 it's generally VERY bad

[stable trench]

is like 10 better or worse then 20

[snow rain]

32 is the limit for mountains

[snow rain]

way worse

[stable trench]

So whats the best

[snow rain]

basically, there's only 2-4 correct combat width in singleplayer (except niche stuff)

• Defense = 16 or 18 combat width
• Attack = 32 (mountaineers) or 35-36 width

in multiplayer some stuff goes up to 38 in attack

[stable trench]

oh ok then, thanks

[toxic cypress]

LOL

ningxia left the faction

but all the people that also left were still in it

if russia goes to war their cooked

[stable trench]

i changed it to 3 rows of infantry and 1 of mechanised now it has 32 width, should i add tanks?

[toxic cypress]

their so cooked

infinite attritio

[quasi osprey]

how are the brits failing d-day😂

[frosty solstice]

how big should submarine convoy raiding task forces be?

[hidden oak]

By failing d-day

[hidden oak]

Idk

[heavy vigil]

because you have more than 2 divsisions on the d day wall and the vanilla ai isnt very powerful at naval invading places that are defended like literally at all

[quasi osprey]

I know well thats kinda the point if they fail d-day then germany probably wont collapse

[fierce mist]

Isnt it easy to take the uk if you do:

Space marines
Air that ai cant defeat
Paratroops and you just land bunch of paratroops after deafting the uk air and then spam in the space marines into uk maybe light tanks with god speed as well to snake?

[sudden thistle]

Light tanks should just never be used ngl

[reef verge]

8 subs should be enough

[celest zenith]

unc are you playing world ablaze? just 18w with green air is more than enough

[frosty solstice]

alr

[frosty solstice]

nah i use them a lot when i need to use less supplies but still need high damage

[celest zenith]

they made sealion easier by making it only that patrol gives naval dominance so you can invest small amount of ic, ~500 navs and force UK to repair so you can get naval dominance easily

[frosty solstice]

well it kinda makes sense you cant control a region by keeping your ships in port on strike force

[celest zenith]

ik but navy update buckbroke multiple layers of not already well functioning AI (script)

[frosty solstice]

should i integrate a few subs with torps in my main battle groups?

[sudden thistle]

No

Subs will slow the fleet down

[frosty solstice]

yeah but against battleships and heavy cruisers couldnt they help?

[azure palm]

instructions unclear. My microwave is burning.

[celest zenith]

most countries start with day 1 efficiency on light tanks so you can produce and convert them to high velocity cannon 2 TDs to complement your medium tank divisions

[heavy vigil]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1441947710625157310/1451031090687901736/image0.gif

[celest zenith]

If you end up in a situation where you have lots of mils to assign but not enough resources or trade partners for import you can use this light design that costs only 1 steel https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/589311099674034176/1456667741275558080/1steel.png?ex=695d278d&is=695bd60d&hm=cdddb682b0accad3041ab6c696fc81ab67dd06c74e4015169829910c628d671f&

[heavy vigil]

you should build your army around your resources available

not the other way around

where you make it regardless of resources/terrain etc

thats also a 9 IC light tank

the equivalent of a 11-12 IC medium tank

it would be less of an issue if it was an SPG/TD/SPAA

[celest zenith]

you can only produce and deploy certain amounts of inf eq, arty and support equipment

[heavy vigil]

but it isnt

[heavy vigil]

air then

[celest zenith]

excess IC in this game goes to air or tanks

[heavy vigil]

you do tanks when you have steel/tungsten

but no aluminium/rubber

[celest zenith]

ur jst trolling atp. air is extremely resource intensive

[celest zenith]

unc ts a excess IC but not enough resources situation as I explained

[heavy vigil]

only rubber/alu

in singleplayer you can also make CAS that only takes rubber

also in 1.17 CAS got buffed about 200%

[celest zenith]

3 aluminum per factory and most scarce resource if you are not friends with the allies 😭

[heavy vigil]

without doctrines

[celest zenith]

they reverted it in 1.17.3 iirc

[heavy vigil]

nope

they made a slight change but its still a lot more damage

[remote quarry]

making air is not a choice

if you play like hungary or turkey or whatsoever and your build involves killing uk you have to be building air

[celest zenith]

hungary gets 28 rubber with new focus tree

resource question is not an issue for neither

[crude schooner]

Is vicky 3 worth it?

[celest zenith]

I never tested it but what is the minimum number of air you can have and still sealion with air superiority + navs over english channel

[heavy vigil]

its like the feeling when you civgreed but as a game

[crude schooner]

That’s an interesting approach

[heavy vigil]

best way i can describe it idk

its nice

[remote quarry]

you need exploit the ai

by fighting them over like northern france

then you have detection from land but they don't from radar

like a few hundred proper fighter is enough to kill the uk airforce slowly

usually you put a few factory on basic cas with dive brake day 1 and nav bomb with those

[celest zenith]

How do you force English to a air fight over northern france if it is completely under German control? Won't they ignore enemy air zones?

[crude schooner]

I heard the combat is shit, how bad is it?

[remote quarry]

if you play germany you should see that the ai loves sending their tactical bombers out

[heavy vigil]

yeah combat sucks but thats not the focus of the game

vic2 is a lot more combat oriented in that sense

and so people still prefer vic2

[remote quarry]

oh you also want to kill their tacs so you don't get cased

[celest zenith]

Well what if you are a minor nation like spain or turkey that only has airbase access to axis?

[heavy vigil]

neither of those have resources for air

and turkey does have good MIOs for it which helps but its just likely not your build

[celest zenith]

hungary gets 28 rubber with new focus tree

[crude schooner]

Does vic3 have any cool mods or smth? I’m thinking of buying it on the summer sale

[heavy vigil]

again your resources dictate your build

[heavy vigil]

yes and you said spain or turkey

[heavy vigil]

idk i dont really play it modded

[celest zenith]

both can trade with hungary + turkey likely puppets hungary

[heavy vigil]

???

well as spain you never ever do it

you have the worst air MIO

[remote quarry]

you join the axis

since you need their airbase to send paras

[heavy vigil]

no research for it

[remote quarry]

it's not a choice

[crude schooner]

so you are saying you can play a paradox game unmodded and still get hundreds of hours?? This is unheard of!

[paper echo]

L france

[heavy vigil]

i mean yeah

[celest zenith]

For Turkey (Ottoman path) before NCNS it was substantially harder

1. Strike force used give dominance so UK could sit at the northern ports and avoid getting bombed

2. airbase access didn't exist so you actually had to beat the UK navy and needed medium airframe for range

3. before gotterdamerung and 28+ Hungarian rubber it was harder to produce air

My current route is kill greece, bulgaria, yugo by focus war goal

get -15% justify war goal tension limit from faction justify on hungary + spain

get wargoal on hungary in november 1939 and puppet without resource rights

kill romania after france caps ~ February 1940
kill spain ~ April 1940

build navs and fighters at the mean time

declare war on Uk as soon as possible and ask germany for airbase access

cap UK

declare on germany before barb

cap axis before soviets invade iran (iran joins your faction and becomes puppet from focus tree, avoidable if you don't want it)

cap soviets

[flint wyvern]

Friend pls check dm

[sudden thistle]

Doesn’t Hungary have the focke wulf mio

[toxic cypress]

oh boy

once i get my supply hub up

free 40 unite encirclement

[celest zenith]

Well I asked the minimum air IC for English channel for specifically the scenario I posted above to force UK fleet to retreat.

Paratroopers are too cheesy for me so I don't use them like the port strat

[remote quarry]

if there's one thing don't build nav build cas

[remote quarry]

why do you care about their fleet

ah

[celest zenith]

I always naval invade

I mean this challenge is one of the few ones as a minor nation that actually takes effort to pull of

they killed most fun

[heavy vigil]

no

[toxic cypress]

why the hell

does russia have so much manpower

god dam

[fierce mist]

not bad doing paratrooper build capped france in 1 sec battleplaned belgium netherlands and poland and winning air war

just realize the whole game is about bonuses and stats

[wind meteor]

id just wait, youre winning nethertheless

until theyre weaker

[warped flint]

I just took it

now I will just sit here and micro the few tiles I am having issues on

[wind meteor]

good luck mate

[spiral linden]

idk what to do here 💔

[warped flint]

SHIT

THEY TOOK MINSK

[wind meteor]

id micromanage carefully

and make 10-20 strong division, tanks if you have them researched

if not just special forces like mountaineers

with art

[spiral linden]

Yeah it's 1937 tho so I haven't been able to get medium tanks yet

1937 and I got jumped by both communist Germany and Italy 💔

[wind meteor]

i mean youre doing good

just wait until they dont got any manpower and equipment no more

[spiral linden]

True

[toxic cypress]

YES

bouta encircle

a shit ton

[spiral linden]

What I did at first was build forts in the alps then pray they start losing manpower and equipment faster then me

Then I pushed north into Germany and that's when Italy attacked me

[fierce mist]

Well what can i say some paratroopers and battleplanning

[wind meteor]

id just stay in the alps since there are many uncrossable provinces

[vital cove]

whats your division template

[warped flint]

Okay, I cant hold vinntysia because of how many areas they can attack it from, but I managed to retake minsk

[spiral linden]

Uh it's 1937 and for some reason I have like 0 production for army experience

[wind meteor]

nga actually has more men then they have bullets

[spiral linden]

So I could barely modify austrias base template for infantry

[vital cove]

do you not have chief of the army

[spiral linden]

I wasn't expecting and attack so early into the game so I was rushing eco

I got him like a month ago in gamr

Game

The defensive guy

[toxic cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/ninja-fortnite-reaction-ninja-low-taper-fade-gif-1784137995500051652

[vital cove]

well. do you have anti air in your divisions?

if not

then that's 100% the reason

without anti air you just get shredded by cas

[spiral linden]

True

I was totally unprepared for a war with germany

I have done the communist path once so I forgot they attack austria very early on

So when I saw they where justifying on me I had to make some last minute preparations

Which is how I pushed so far

But Idk if I can defend both Germany and italy

With my bad templates

[vital cove]

its possible probably

can you send the save

i wonder if i can do it

[spiral linden]

[celest zenith]

[molten forge]

i love avoiding ww2 cus i delayed rearmying too much

[fierce mist]

Poland and powerful?

something new

@warped flint So how am i supposed to win over axis and soviets then

[warped flint]

I didnt do this path ever before

do the monarchist one and wait and refuse all of them untill the romanov one comes

[vital cove]

you can always do the donut

[sudden thistle]

The middle one is rlly good I think

[heavy vigil]

yeah its meta

[stark pebble]

good start so far (altho spain might be a bit fd)

[quasi shoal]

btw the indonesia rubber may be useful but on hist it makes japan declare on you around '41

[stark pebble]

i did not know that
does it make a difference that i only puppeted indonesia?

[quasi shoal]

no

they get a war goal on whoever owns indonesia

[coral gorge]

pessimistic timeline

[stark pebble]

i need a non aggression pact asap

[quasi shoal]

only slightly delays it

[stark pebble]

fuuuuu

welp

is it so bad that i should restart?

[quasi shoal]

if you kill the british fast enough you'll be prepared

[quasi shoal]

it's not really a huge deal

cuz they declare on the allies at the same time

[stark pebble]

if i had liberated indonesia, would that have worked in them not declaring on me?

[vital cove]

yes

[copper sluice]

how do I get to use this guy

[stark pebble]

wait, can i just release them and then have japan not declare on me

[copper sluice]

or is he just bugged

[flint wyvern]

Can someone show a good marine template

[vital cove]

there is no option to just release puppets

[coral gorge]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[vital cove]

the obvious choice is declaring war on both factions

[supple pawn]

Will france invade me when i start to invade poland and benelux if i dont have troops on the border?

or will they only be defensive

[vital cove]

if you have absolutely nothing yes

pretty sure

[digital aurora]

there is like 5 NATO task forces stuck in the mederterranian sea, that i have just been bombing constantly since my last naval invasion on the island failed

[vapid cradle]

i think my games glitched, for ffs i cant just take a fleet and move it here to get dominance, what is this

mighty this be a dlc

im gonna loose it

[digital aurora]

the US fleet is cooked, i recently sunk the pride of their fleet which was a early heavy ship

[vapid cradle]

someone please help

[digital aurora]

[vapid cradle]

what gear

[copper sluice]

why is spains cavalry div template so big

[vapid cradle]

what now

[vital cove]

now it should work

[vapid cradle]

yeah thanks

what a shbitty game tho

nothing was historical

was it casue i was playing tutorial?

[digital aurora]

because umm Budyonny did a little prank

[vital cove]

never did tutorial so idk if its optional to have historical ai there or not

but in general its a switch you can turn on or off

[vapid cradle]

austria hungary became alive germany dexlared war on ussr in 1940

was it cuz i has no idea what to so in italys tree?

[vital cove]

once you start doing non historical stuff, the ai will do non historical stuff too

but Austria Hungary should not have happened without having historical turned off

[vapid cradle]

like austria and hungary became one

[vapid cradle]

i just did germaby allaince slightly late

[vital cove]

yeah, the ai won't do that on historical

[vapid cradle]

im so washed u have no idea

i used to ne half decent

do ppl follow tutorials for the trees?

[supple pawn]

If I set each of my fields marshals armies to have a section of the frontline, but I give the attack order to the very back of poland by the field marshal, will they all attack from their respective sections? or will they all end up piling up

[vital cove]

for some more complicated ones watching a yt guide can be nice

[vapid cradle]

imma do a classic german reich run tmrw

get back a bit

[warped flint]

can someone tell me why im not getting wojtek? I control hamedan and I went into italy

[vapid cradle]

whats the new meta ?

[finite nacelle]

finaland got metal balls bro

[hollow shoal]

yo guys can i get some tips for hoi4 i already understand the justifying war and declaring frontlines and offensive lines and i know the leader system same with national focuses and research but im not too put up with agency factories and etc.

[tulip thorn]

Always use field marshals

[hollow shoal]

yup i do but what about other stuff except combat and when someone attacks me idk how i recapture the lands

[hollow shoal]

its tank dempsey from cod

[fair herald]

I wanted to do a cursed Strasser HRE, is it possible to first get Victoria, then go Fascist to form HRE as Volksreich?

Because GGR is very boring in my opinion

[brave steeple]

i tell you this fleet is bugged

it cant patrol this region

it cant strike force this region

it cant do anything

this region is bugged mainly the sea zone

it doesnt let me just SEND IT TO THAT REGION

nvm found out why

why

[dusky burrow]

Hover over this, what do you see

[brave steeple]

i just said i found out why

i am confused why the kr devs made a 'straight' idk what to call it there

[dusky burrow]

Ah my bad

[mystic sand]

mostly historical Finland or Random Chinese Warlord

which should i do

[brave steeple]

flip a coin

[mystic sand]

too late, doing finland

[brave steeple]

picked chinese warlord

i flipped a coin landed tails

[mystic sand]

i wanna goof about with the Karelian uprising mechanic

[brave steeple]

this also depends if you own the dlc

chinese dlc

[mystic sand]

i do, but i already did the fengtian clique

[brave steeple]

k

i do not own the dlc do i have no idea what their focus tree is

[stark pebble]

I declared war 4 motnhs ago, and having conquered the netherlands in 1937. how the hell have i not advanced further?

especially with the coup i orchestrated in france

ok finally i seem to be winning

still dont understand how belgium managed to conquer half of the netherlands when i had 24 divs to conquer them with

[fierce mist]

1937?

Divsion stats? design? equipment?

Focuses taken? etc

you should declear on poland 1939

take out poland then go for benelux and france

not 37

Just to clarify it was bad message.

Watch yotoube toturials

[stark pebble]

1937 was when i conquered the netherlands, without anyone else getting involved
I started the big war in 1939

[wraith mauve]

Can 10 18 width division maybe kill Sweden

[sudden thistle]

From the south yes

The west maybe

North and east is a no though

[fierce mist]

lowk funny playing default focus tree

[wet sonnet]

Hi

I watch a lot of hoi4 videos on yt but I do not have a pc sadly so I cannot play

[rustic basalt]

guys i have a question

does poland have a foucs to attack germany

[stark pebble]

dont ask me how the hell poland is still alive and with THAT territory specifically

[queen cobalt]

there is

[rustic basalt]

no wonder

[stark pebble]

oh and how is belgium still alive

[drowsy bronze]

dawg

20 divs?

in that small area??

[rustic basalt]

so i was ganking belenax and france then i saw fall of berlin

[drowsy bronze]

15 on ONE tile

[queen cobalt]

poland has the focus of dismantle fascist empire smth like that if they choose the worker revolution

[rustic basalt]

i looked back and see poland in berlin

[fierce mist]

Im cooked

[stark pebble]

that doesnt looks nearly as bad as some of my last few saves

[dusky burrow]

Some guys's multiplayer game:

[stark pebble]

Good lawd

[dusky burrow]

dutch and danish are annoying ig

[stark pebble]

No that's not the Dutch

That's Belgium

And not even that

They've capitulated

That's the foreign troops stuck in Belgium

Who are holding out for months

[dusky burrow]

Oh

[stark pebble]

And I only just invaded Denmark, they should be fine

[terse skiff]

dude i mastered all the doctrines just to realize i stayed at mass assault 💀

[magic aspen]

oh boy I sure do love defending northern canada

supply does not exist

[winter fulcrum]

me using the imaginary trucks to bring me my supply:

[magic aspen]

there's just zero supply hubs anywhere close, I tried building one and the UK managed to push through and take it

that's the bubble on the south end

oh and now the US is pushing me

well I die now

[austere basin]

rip american army

[opal dust]

Guys what nation do I pick

[austere basin]

600k soldiers gone in like 7 days

[magic aspen]

I don't understand people who say this game is too easy

this is legitimately the hardest game I have ever played

I can't win no matter what I do unless I buff my nation

[sudden thistle]

i was just gonna come in here and say the game is rlly easy when i read this

perfect timing

[magic aspen]

how

[sudden thistle]

what do u struggle with

[magic aspen]

everything

every game I get crushed no matter what I focus on

even when I try to focus on strong infantry my infantry still gets run over

I even try following guides and it just doesn't seem to work for me, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong

[sudden thistle]

i would say send me ur save game right before u declare or get declared on

i can look at some things

and tell u what ur missing

[magic aspen]

I'm on Ironman so I dont have a save game

I was trying to get the Canada achievments

[sudden thistle]

are u only playing countries like canda

[magic aspen]

I got the one to join the axis cause I don't have to do any fighting for that, and the one for completing send in the zombies

[sudden thistle]

and other small ones?

[magic aspen]

I mostly play Germany

[sudden thistle]

germany is easy to fix usuaully

send me one when u get to one

[magic aspen]

Mostly Democratic so I only have to worry about Russia

[sudden thistle]

and yes ironman has a save game

do u have any dlc?

[magic aspen]

yeah I just meant I don't have one for my current game back before I got declared on

yeah I have the subscription

[sudden thistle]

alright

[sudden thistle]

i mean u can send ur save now

i can look at it rq

[magic aspen]

ok I'll do that

do I just go until autosave since I can't manual save?

[sudden thistle]

yes

[magic aspen]

ok brb

[sudden thistle]

do u know how to send saves?

[winter fulcrum]

so randomly i hear a double ding like noise but only when i play hoi4, does anyone know what that means?

[magic aspen]

I do not

I got it to an autosave

nvm I found it

[sudden thistle]

ok this country is just really really hard to defend as

hm

no need to touch air at all

u wont make much of a meaningful impact

ur still on civ eco in late 41

[magic aspen]

omg I forgot to change my economy

facepalm

[sudden thistle]

u have an awful amount of political power

[magic aspen]

that was stupid

[sudden thistle]

always do these guys btw

while ur mech is a good call

their divs are too small to make a meaningful impact

[magic aspen]

ah ok

[sudden thistle]

always do this to mech btw

reliability doesnt matter

[winter fulcrum]

i can help pyou

help*

[sudden thistle]

i would say not play minors like canada in this fashion until u learn more of the game

[magic aspen]

yeah that's probably smart

[sudden thistle]

since u WILL struggle

[magic aspen]

tbh I mostly wanted to see if I could get some of the achievments as my home country lol

[winter fulcrum]

i love you norway 😍

[sudden thistle]

canada is fun just give it a while

if u send me a save for another big country i could look at that one too

since its easier to mess up on them

[magic aspen]

I've only ever managed to win as democratic Germany which I find really fun, but I generally still need a lot of help

from my allies I mean

[sudden thistle]

fascist germany is fun

i mean its also like that germany

but fun

[magic aspen]

my last game before this one I tried to do nationalist france but I quit when germany turned me down cause that was kinda the whole point of that save lol

[magic aspen]

lmao

which tree is the base image from?

[tulip thorn]

A tno meme I think something like that

People have got in trouble for sending the og image

[magic aspen]

sorry whats tno

[tulip thorn]

the new order

[magic aspen]

ah ok

[tulip thorn]

I do not like the mod personally

I think it along with all modern and cold war type mods suck

[winter fulcrum]

yeah i think tfr is kinda bad, js my thoughts tho

[tulip thorn]

I didnt like tfr, but I also havent played it since it came out

[magic aspen]

tfr is the final reich right?

[tulip thorn]

I think of tfr as the fire rises

[magic aspen]

that makes sense

[tulip thorn]

Are you thinking of twr

?

[magic aspen]

probably

[tulip thorn]

Thousand Week Reich?

[magic aspen]

I've never really looked into mods so I only know a couple of them by name

[naive obsidian]

i feel like

[magic aspen]

mostly just Kaiser redux from watching Stakuyi

[naive obsidian]

mods and mod developing is the only reason why i still play hoi4

[tulip thorn]

I really only play hoi4 because of mods

[naive obsidian]

if a hoi5 came out i would be very reluctant to buy it simply because of the variety of mods in hoi4

[tulip thorn]

But not total overhaul mods

[magic aspen]

I barely understand vanilla I definitely won't be adding mods for a while lmao

[tulip thorn]

I mostly play with a huge list of mods that run in vanilla

[naive obsidian]

oh im only interested in total overhaul mods

[tulip thorn]

I only really like kaiserredux and equestria at war, when it comes to overhaul mods

[naive obsidian]

i love kaiserredux, owb, and avatar the last airbender

got tired of no updates from the last one so im fixing all 6000 bugs. started since december 2/3rds finished

[naive obsidian]

ive never played equestria at war though. is it good

[tulip thorn]

owb was pretty good

[tulip thorn]

Its really good

[naive obsidian]

might have to give it a try

[tulip thorn]

Even if your someone who doesnt care for the source material

[naive obsidian]

i just thought it was kinda weird tbh because of the source material

but who am i to judge

[tulip thorn]

I can understand that

Thats how I used to be

[magic aspen]

advice on divisions for historical germany?

[tulip thorn]

Just make normal 18w infantry with support artillery, engineers and support anti air

And if you have no step back, the current meta is medium self propelled artillery

36w

[magic aspen]

and should I cancel MEFO?

[tulip thorn]

Only if you are doing prio eco growth

Never cancel if doing 4 year plan

[magic aspen]

ok I'm going 4 year plan cause I always go eco growth on democratic so I wanna try the other path

[winter fulcrum]

anyone know where to check crash report files?

[tulip thorn]

this pc < documents < paradox interactive < hearts of iron 4 < crashes

[copper sluice]

can someone tell me why this basic ass div is running over everything

and how do I make it better

[tulip thorn]

Support anti air

[vivid juniper]

Do sending all your equipment to Spain, still work for Civil Wars?

[dusky burrow]

Which special forces doctrine are you using

[copper sluice]

mountaineer

imagine trying to tell wtf is going on

ok

this game is so fked

[winter fulcrum]

what country are u

[copper sluice]

global defense council

I think I got the hang of the spanish civil war now, or maybe I just got lucky a few times

[magic aspen]

is diplomatic fascist germany any good? like trying to ally a lot of countries instead of making demands of them?

[copper sluice]

this might be the most fun hoi4 campaign i have ever played

[copper sluice]

its still germany so its prob still better than most other countries

[magic aspen]

lol

I think I'm gonna go full chaos and fully ally with russia

[copper sluice]

how do I get pp as the defense council lol

[tulip thorn]

Just dont take a focus for awhile

you signed away your right to political power the second you went anarchist as spain

[rough tendon]

Hello, im newer in HOI4.
I need help figuring out how to produce units tho, I just dont know how to make them

[wraith mauve]

“Yo bro paratroopers aren’t that good”

[tulip thorn]

this button

[silk gust]

Is this cooking?

[copper sluice]

oh yea I forgot

I am on army training focus rn lol

[tulip thorn]

then find a unit and hit train

[silk gust]

I have 90 divisions of those

[tulip thorn]

then you can add more units to be trained right here

Very simple

[copper sluice]

why do some provinces cost 50 to core and some cost 150

[tulip thorn]

Some are worth more than others

Victory points

[tulip thorn]

no

Combat width 💔

[copper sluice]

and this one

[wraith mauve]

Do I need to have air superiority in where I’m lunching from or just where it’s going through

[tulip thorn]

this is good

I'd just get support anti air

Whats the combat width

if its 24 thats less cooking

[wraith mauve]

Someone awenser my question

[heavy vigil]

afghanistan?

[tulip thorn]

You need air superiority in all airzones that the line goes through

[wraith mauve]

Including where it starts

[tulip thorn]

yes

[wraith mauve]

I don’t have the planes for that

As burgundy

[tulip thorn]

Better make more planes

[wraith mauve]

Yup

[tulip thorn]

:)

[copper sluice]

20.4

[copper sluice]

spain

[tulip thorn]

Thats fine I suppose

[copper sluice]

thats prob a good idea considering I have 0 planes

[tulip thorn]

Support anti air is good even when you have planes

atleast on infantry

[copper sluice]

does the council have any compliance gain buffs
