[brave steeple]

why does a mod with 2 nations have superevents

[molten forge]

Should I learn to make mods and make my dream mod (Albania world conquest)

[brave steeple]

[molten forge]

[molten forge]

Do you wanna see Albania conquest the world?

[misty fossil]

design a heavy tank with howitzer then select the tank designation as artillery

gives +40% soft attack boost

the heavy TD is there to boost your div's piercing

[molten forge]

I can't edit tanks

[atomic grove]

[agile perch]

...

i got told offensive line

[atomic grove]

spearhead

if u are using tanks that are fast

actually no

if u are using tanks at all

spearhead

[brave steeple]

slight bug with this mod

you cant use navy

at all

its impossible

99%

other bad news i have zero focuses to do

[agile perch]

ok

[agile perch]

and if im using infantry

[digital aurora]

Man taking South america is gonna be such a pain

[fickle thicket]

mod?

[brave steeple]

good news

[brave steeple]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3580309817

extremely unfinished mod

2 great focus trees

zero other focus trees

also i used console for 1 event as it never triggered....

somehow

like it never ever happens

[fickle thicket]

alr

now let me watch my football

[brave steeple]

i would send a gif but pdx rules are absurd and may go against it

[digital aurora]

I think america may be cooked when i invade them, after the amount of encriclements they have suffered in asia, europe and africa they are down to 30 divisions

[brave steeple]

[Rule 8 - Common Sense]
⮞ Use common sense when following the rules. techically rule 8

i mean i know plenty of servers that would allow it

but idk for sure

and better safe then sorry or something

[fickle thicket]

send it tbh

[brave steeple]

[fickle thicket]

uh

eh

[digital aurora]

But even though its 1960 i am going to wait a bit for america to rebuild their divisions so i can have a decent last fight

[brave steeple]

saw it in suzerain discussion

because the mods closed cdh for about 6 hours

[fickle thicket]

could be allowed but would be shot down due to hitler being mentioned

they dont like historical figures being mentioned

[brave steeple]

i mean this is a game with him in it

[brave steeple]

this is mainly why i wasnt sure about it

i can mostly understand that symbol being banned

[digital aurora]

I mean its banned in germany

[fickle thicket]

yeah they never liked political figures being mentioned

[brave steeple]

but i feel like naming the guy which is the reason this game exists and not being allowed to say it is a bit absurd

[fickle thicket]

they shot down my image of mussolini being covered in bubbles

[brave steeple]

this is where i found it

this was to a mod

it still hasnt been deleted

[fickle thicket]

has he been banned

[brave steeple]

suzerain mods are semi chill

no

i dont THINK so

i mean they did clkose the entire general for 6 hours

[fickle thicket]

gng these paradox mods they strict to high hell

[brave steeple]

cuspeople were spamming emotes

and also talking about irl politics

[fickle thicket]

are the rt56 mods strict

[brave steeple]

no clue

name of the chat tho

also aparently ppl were saying slurs in it

and they got banned

which is the main reason

[fickle thicket]

justified

[brave steeple]

yea

100%

[naive obsidian]

this is exactly why im scared to advertise my mod yet

since our server doesnt even have proper bots

[brave steeple]

ppl got mad the chat was taken down tho

and started spamming emotes

[fickle thicket]

if u advertise ANYTHING here u get warned

[naive obsidian]

not here

[fickle thicket]

i think

[naive obsidian]

in hoi4 modding council

[fickle thicket]

oh

i mean if its finished then promote it

[naive obsidian]

still trying to get special forces doctrines to be public for everyone through tech tree since its an overhaul mod

[brave steeple]

this is everything i knew about it

someone said something

[brave steeple]

whats it called

[fickle thicket]

talk about it in #off-topic

[brave steeple]

true

[naive obsidian]

avatar the last airbender

[brave steeple]

doesnt that already exist

[naive obsidian]

worked with the old team that gave up on the mod and picked up on it

[brave steeple]

oh

[naive obsidian]

now we're reworking it

[brave steeple]

huh.

i tried it once

found it absurdly outdated thjat about about a year ago

[naive obsidian]

debugging it since december

and we're almost done

we're going to rework avatar mechanism too

[brave steeple]

2024 or 2023

[spiral summit]

Bru im so cooked the im in the Comintern as the USA and the USSR js fell 😭💔

[brave steeple]

your the usa

i dont see a problem

you get the most oil in the world

[brave steeple]

which i feel is a slight balancing error

[spiral summit]

I started playing a week ago so idk

[brave steeple]

do you have a navy

[naive obsidian]

new logo

[brave steeple]

ooo

[naive obsidian]

hopefully viacom or nickelodeon doesnt copyright strike us

[brave steeple]

looks good

[fickle thicket]

u good if u been building mils and shitting out troops

[naive obsidian]

after the amount of work we put into it

[brave steeple]

would send the image i sent before

but

[spiral summit]

I think like 2k conveys

[brave steeple]

i dont trust these mods

[fickle thicket]

pray they dont find out

[spiral summit]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1314432842356228115/1434311705697058888/tenor.gif

[fickle thicket]

so no navy?

[brave steeple]

we are talking about navy

proper ships

not convoys

[spiral summit]

Nope

[brave steeple]

this

[fickle thicket]

how tf did u lose ur entire navy

[brave steeple]

click f2

see what happens

do you see a navy

[spiral summit]

Yeah

[brave steeple]

nuke japan

its possible with aircraft carriers

[fickle thicket]

thats if he has nukes

[spiral summit]

I thought conveys did smth 💔

[brave steeple]

yes

this is why he wont

[brave steeple]

they do

[naive obsidian]

tbf doesnt hasbro own mylittlepony

[brave steeple]

they carry supplys

[naive obsidian]

and that one mod has still been up

for a while.....

[brave steeple]

you buy iron ect and carry it with convoys

you need convoys to naval invade

[fickle thicket]

i think

[spiral summit]

Then what has been helping me raid other ships??

[brave steeple]

they are very important but at the same time minor

[brave steeple]

allies ?

do you have subs

allies raid other ships

you might be getting convoy raided

and losing convoys

convoys can shoot down planes but are rly bad at it

they cant attack

but have rly weak defence stats

[naive obsidian]

we also had a new map but honestly this map is way too big and it'd be nearly impossible to put all of the provinces together and let alone do the strategic regions

[brave steeple]

i tbh wanna try modding

but i have no clue

how to

[naive obsidian]

trust it's simple

[spiral summit]

Im in like a three way war with the allies and axis

[naive obsidian]

you're just reading game documentation and changing stuff

[naive obsidian]

what nation are you?

[spiral summit]

Wdym

Usa

[brave steeple]

hes in commintern

[naive obsidian]

oh lol

[brave steeple]

no more walker plan

[brave steeple]

this is a suzerain reference

[spiral summit]

I didnt think i would end up in a civil war with the traitors joining the allies last second 🫩

[brave steeple]

the walker plan basicly the marshial plan

unrelated but suzerain is so peak

also unrelated but why is hoi4 merch so mid

they make a £30 plushy which costs more than a dlc less than the expansion pass

hoi4 merch is also absurdly expensive

this isnt that expensive

but its also just a shirt

with a german word stamped on

[atomic grove]

after that horrible disaster of a danish playthrough i went through before

[brave steeple]

play as austria

its so good

[spiral summit]

I bought the starter pack thing that came along with the base game

[brave steeple]

ignoring the fact you need to be competent to survive germany

ah k

recomendation dont buy 99% of the dlcs

french dlc is pointless tbh

like if you want to

get it

[spiral summit]

I was kinda sad when I found out Andorra doesn’t exist

[brave steeple]

rt56 has it

[spiral summit]

[brave steeple]

quite a good mod rt56

[brave steeple]

road to 56

a mod

[spiral summit]

Oh kk

[brave steeple]

uf you click workshop

you can open mods

.

weird

very good tho tbh

[spiral summit]

Im quiting this USA run, imma try bulgaria

[brave steeple]

try austria trust

tbh i find bulgaria to be mid but its def good for new players

no focus on navy

[spiral summit]

Ok

[brave steeple]

if you are new dont do austria

but if you know how to play somewhat

like you wont die to germany in a year as france

austria is good

[spiral summit]

Im in Austria and I js have the base research trees

DLC?

[brave steeple]

gottemrang

[vital trellis]

Is this division design ok?

It's the same as the game's start

Didn't change anything so far

[opal nymph]

Not vanilla

Unknown if good or not

If it is vanilla with extra support companies, line at and aa are not needed. Support AT can be replaced with support AA

AA is just AT that can shoot down planes

[coral gorge]

There are mods that aren’t free?

[brave steeple]

prob yes

somewhere

idk

it def exists

[warped flint]

Should I be able to battleplan with this ?

[molten forge]

Wanna pay 1.99€ for 20 methods to world conquest as Albania (this is a joke I haven't even started making the mod)

finally

denmark defeating germany

what a scenario

[misty fossil]

Yeah

[viscid sleet]

Can someone explain to me the new power and coal aspect of the game please

[atomic grove]

coal is energy for ur factories

coal deficit = slower construction speed and less factory output

[viscid sleet]

So ibhave alot of it, is it automatically used?

[atomic grove]

the higher the coal deficit = even slower construction speed and even less factory output

[atomic grove]

yes

[viscid sleet]

I have a surplus of 826

So what do the power lines do?

[agile perch]

dang

[sour jewel]

guys I need quick help, im tryna airdrop troops into england and it says "An addition 2 transport wing(s) are required."

[heavy vigil]

you allowed them as exile?

and then they asked for rights to eritrea

which you accepted

[warped flint]

Yes

[heavy vigil]

and now they will always get that from you

whenever you have eritrea

[warped flint]

I am just very dissapointed I wasted hours on this run just for this shit to happen.

I stayed up to 4 am last night

[heavy vigil]

kill everyone else

[warped flint]

I basically did

[heavy vigil]

then it should take a few in game ticks to give it back

[warped flint]

besides like denmark and sweden

[heavy vigil]

allowing you the archievement

When do sabotaged resources recover?

[rich nacelle]

Click on the state that has them sabotaged and you can check.

ALSO WHY DIDNT YOU PUPPET ANYTHING???

[rugged sundial]

Does anyone have the exact calculation behind gaining Mastery?

[warped flint]

mass assault is ass now

superior firepower and grand battleplan are best

i prefer gbp

why is my invasion not launching?

[rich nacelle]

Ik. The meme was made before no money no compromise.

[rich nacelle]

The capital is grey meaning you aren’t at war with them I believe.

[warped flint]

Wait wtf

WE ARE JUST AT WAR

NO PEACE TREATY

HUH

I LITERALLY JUST NAVAL INVADED THEM A LITTLE BIT AGO

[rich nacelle]

Other than that, are you sure the divisions are prepared. Also, all those divs of yours have like half org so they aren’t the best lol. Upgrade the port.

[warped flint]

I am

[rich nacelle]

Click the world tension ball to see if any peace treaty you didn’t see happen.

[warped flint]

None

[rich nacelle]

Wtf

Are you shore you were at war with them.

[warped flint]

Yeah I literally just naval invaded them

and it failed

so I got marines

[rich nacelle]

…

Always use marines for naval invasions.

[warped flint]

Whats the best template

I didnt see any pinned ones

unless im blind

and there is one

[rich nacelle]

I use a marine with 9 marine battalions and 3 line artillery. I also use support artillery, anti air, engineers, and logistics companies.

Tho irrc the best ones are blocks of like 15 marine battalions but those take 50 years to train.

[warped flint]

i am using 36 width blocks of marines

Wish I could swap to this insteada of mountaineers

but it doesnt let me

[rich nacelle]

Ye you can only choose one

[rich nacelle]

I thought your sister was thick. Damn

[warped flint]

my sisters.....

15.....

[rich nacelle]

._.

It was a joke

[warped flint]

Ik lmao

[lilac glen]

I don't get the resources if I puppet? 😭

[rich nacelle]

I didn’t actually know you have a sister 😭

[rich nacelle]

Trade with them.

You can get 80 of a resource per one civ

Also if you have no step back, you can add resource rights, giving you the resources for like 4 years.

[lilac glen]

Ohhhhhhhhh

Damn

Epic

If I puppet, I don't get to be bothered by rebellions?

[rich nacelle]

Correct.

The puppets have cores on the territory.

[warped flint]

I cant take the island

[rich nacelle]

If you annex you just occupy.

[rich nacelle]

Skill issue.

[warped flint]

Ima just try with these marines now

[rich nacelle]

Just nuke them or smth.

[rich nacelle]

Tell me how it goes!

[warped flint]

Will do

[rich nacelle]

I usually don’t island hop. I just skibidy dibidy attack the mainland.

[lilac glen]

Thank God

[rich nacelle]

Yep.

[lilac glen]

Should I use Reichskommissariat?

[rich nacelle]

Nooo

NOOOO

DONT

EVER

NO

[simple vine]

a surprising alliance

[lilac glen]

Why?

[rich nacelle]

THEY DONT GET CORES

SO IT IS WORSE THAN YOU OCCUPYING BC THEY DONT GET MANPOWER

[warped flint]

reichskommasariats are the worst thing on this planet

[rich nacelle]

NEVER USE THEM

NEVAHH

EVAHH

EVAHHHH

[uneven jetty]

It was all promised by the yeshua and the fuhrer

[lilac glen]

Paradox, please fix

[warped flint]

They lasted 3 seconds

[lilac glen]

Bro, I love you

Seriously

[warped flint]

not even

1 second

[lilac glen]

You just saved my game

[rich nacelle]

💀

[lilac glen]

I didn't know puppets were th is good

[rich nacelle]

How did the marines do that ass

[rich nacelle]

Ye

[warped flint]

They have like 20 divisions on the island

[lilac glen]

God bless political puppetry

[rich nacelle]

Also, if you hover ur mouse over the occupied land and it says owner, you can click on your flag in the top left, go to occupied countries and territories, and release as puppet

[rich nacelle]

Ye

Uhh

Convoy raid the sea around them

That is your only chance

Although with 20divs I wouldn’t even bother

[warped flint]

That IS, their capital....

There was a annoying peace treaty before

[rich nacelle]

Don’t even try then

[warped flint]

and they were taiwaned to this island

[rich nacelle]

Waste of time

[lilac glen]

I am a complete dumbass

I somehow released Spain instead of puppeting it

[rich nacelle]

It happens

[uneven jetty]

Brother how

Did u js steal their resources

Or did you release republic

[lilac glen]

Reloaded

[rich nacelle]

Lol

[lilac glen]

Now I fricked it again

[rich nacelle]

LOL

[lilac glen]

Now I only puppetered some parts

And released the rest

[warped flint]

Wait, if I just keep spam naval invading, they will run out of manpower slowly

[lilac glen]

So confusing

[warped flint]

this is all they have

[rich nacelle]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[warped flint]

every one they lose is one permeanetly dead

[rich nacelle]

True

Although they will lose like 2 people per attack

[warped flint]

im patient

its already 1958

[rich nacelle]

And ur average div has 10k manpower

So that is 200k manpower

[warped flint]

I am researching amphibous tanks and armtracks

[rich nacelle]

Bro

It is 58

Did you stop researching

[fair horizon]

if you convoy raid they will have supply issues if they dont get it from somewhere by rail

[warped flint]

I went only inf and air

[warped flint]

That is their capital

[lilac glen]

I am so freaking confused

[fair horizon]

oh yeah nvm then

[rich nacelle]

The island is their capital

[warped flint]

There was a annoying peace treaty a while ago

[rich nacelle]

Did u have 100% war score

Oh u did

Wtf

Oh

Oh

OH

[warped flint]

Am I making enough ?

[rich nacelle]

The striped states are the ones you can do stuff to

You gotta click puppet and select the whole nation first

Then do resource rights

[fair horizon]

MORE

[rich nacelle]

Perhaps

[fair horizon]

AMTRACS ❤️

[warped flint]

i am out of steel

[fair horizon]

get more

[lilac glen]

Got it

Really confusing UI

[lilac glen]

Also

[rich nacelle]

Are amtracks even good lol

[fair horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-more-gif-21856591

[rich nacelle]

Yes?

[lilac glen]

This is literally the only visual indication something changed

Very misleading

[rich nacelle]

Yes

That is bc they are ur puppet

[uneven jetty]

“Foreign power”

Why not Germany

[rich nacelle]

For fascist nations, it uses specific names for the type of puppet. Reichskommissariat is one of them

[rich nacelle]

It says they are one of Germany if you hover over the flag

[uneven jetty]

That tracks

[warped flint]

are amphibious tanks okay

[rich nacelle]

Idk

Probably good tho

[lilac glen]

I know, it's just hard to notice

Anyway

What should I puppet?

Literally everything?

[warped flint]

Wait I cant use my medium howitzer on then

they are ahh

[rich nacelle]

yes

[lilac glen]

Why do I have such shitty planes

[warped flint]

You captured them from a capitualted country

[rich nacelle]

Either A: your making them or

B: you took them from Spain when you capitulated them

[rich nacelle]

MOAR

[lilac glen]

B and Italy's gifts

How do I get rid of them?

[rich nacelle]

You don’t lol

Or deploy them and put them on nighttime excersizes forever until they die

[warped flint]

You could sell them

I would do that

[warped flint]

Suicide mission

trust

[lilac glen]

They are quite abysmal

[rich nacelle]

Gets rid of them tho

[lilac glen]

It's embarrassing to deploy such garbage

[warped flint]

Take out 1 soviet aircraft for 1000 losse

[lilac glen]

They look like toy planes

[rich nacelle]

Real

[lilac glen]

Anyway

[rich nacelle]

They are

[lilac glen]

How do I release territories as puppets?

I am stupid and can't figure it out

[rich nacelle]

Click on ur flag and look on the right of the menu that pops up.

Right below faction name

Should be a shape in a circle

Says occupied territories

Click

And release

[lilac glen]

Oh

I thought release would just... let them go lol

[rich nacelle]

You can choose to do that, release as puppet, and to release but keep your own cores if you both share them.

[lilac glen]

I can't

[rich nacelle]

Oh

Rip

Yea just suffer from the occupation.

You will have to kill the Brits to release them.

[lilac glen]

This is just freaking stupid

[rich nacelle]

They are in the allies so not really

[lilac glen]

Not they being in the allies

[rich nacelle]

You are at war with the allies

You went to war with Yugoslavia

They joined the allies

[lilac glen]

I think the fact you can't make puppets without the original gov's consent is stupid

[lilac glen]

Not what I meant

I just think the logic is dumb

[rich nacelle]

If you could it would be too OP

[lilac glen]

;-;

Sad

[rich nacelle]

Because imagine

You conquer mainland Europe

Set up puppets

You are unstoppable at that point

[lilac glen]

Fair point

I just think resistance is literally the worst feature in this damn game

[rich nacelle]

Well I mean

[warped flint]

YES

[rich nacelle]

People aren’t just going to accept being occupied

[warped flint]

I DIDNT LAND BUT I KILLED LIKE 2 DIVS

[rich nacelle]

Rahhh

Also like 99/100 times resistance does nothing too bad.

But that 1 time out of 100 it is horrible

[woven sparrow]

second time ive crashed the game just by trying to move 80% of my navy around

[lilac glen]

Dealing with resistance feels like this

[lilac glen]

Yes, but damn, there must be a better way to implement this

This is hell

[warped flint]

YES

JAPAN IS DEAD

THAT TOOK WAY TO MUCH EFFORT

[lilac glen]

I am sure that irl the Nazis didn't keep switching between civilian oversight and brutal oppression

[woven sparrow]

oh great it didnt save my submarine fleet changes

[agile perch]

[woven sparrow]

now i have to extract them all out of their current fleets again rename them all again and set up patrols again

[agile perch]

bradaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar italy is useless

[lilac glen]

@rich nacelle

If I just put the occupation law in the middle and have enough garrison, can I just forget about resistance?

[rich nacelle]

Ye

[simple vine]

damn even hungary is still there

[lilac glen]

They sabotaged literally everything

[rich nacelle]

That will happen

Gotta wait for compliance to climb

[warped flint]

Use local police for

force

Use this garrison, or just 1 cavalry battalion

[agile perch]

im dead

[lilac glen]

That's the exact garrison I use lol

[warped flint]

how can I check if theres any tiny country alive

Eritea is my puppet

btw

[lilac glen]

Won't compliance be stuck tho?

[rich nacelle]

Click on your own country, at the bottom right of the screen you can click on county list.

[warped flint]

Switzerland

forgot about them

ty

i hate how it takes so long to justifly on switzerland

[simple vine]

wait greater hungary!???

damn

maybe go with switserland on your next run can't die while playing that ig

[warped flint]

Alright its just me and my puppet

[simple vine]

show us

[agile perch]

💔

[warped flint]

Wait shouldnt I be able to get a achievement for a world conquset?

Yeah this

[simple vine]

wait you conquered the entire world with im?

neat

[warped flint]

This is my first ever world conquest

im very

happy

i have played until 1959

[silk gust]

Almost capitulated so I had to lock In as Bulgaria in Kaisereich

[heavy vigil]

mid game

[warped flint]

what is a good game?....

[tulip thorn]

Anything after 1960 would kill my poor little cpu

[heavy vigil]

after the 80s it stops slowing down when everyone has all tech fully equipped

it might run better even

the pc killers are when theres mega wars usually

which also stop lagging as much when nations run out of manpower

[tulip thorn]

I dont really ever play past 48-51 anyway tbh

By then I get bored

[warped flint]

Wait do I have to be fascist britain?

[heavy vigil]

yes

i believe so

[warped flint]

oh

ok

[heavy vigil]

not sure

[warped flint]

is there not a achievement for just.

conquering the world....

[warped flint]

I do own the entire world

[heavy vigil]

maybe its not ideology locked idk

[warped flint]

so it is probably that

[lilac glen]

Does the game get harder mid to late game?

[heavy vigil]

no

i mean, maybe

[lilac glen]

I invaded all of Europe (besides the USSR)

[heavy vigil]

you might be less knowledgeable on what the ai uses lategame

[lilac glen]

And have 5 armies worth of men

[heavy vigil]

but as long as you counter their builds its the same difficulty

[heavy vigil]

as who

[lilac glen]

Germany

I guess Germany is just super easy mode

All that industry and stuff

I am already passed the US in factory amount lol

[heavy vigil]

it is but not for the reason you think

it has amazing factory modifiers and just the best battle modifiers

like your stats are out the wazoo theyre insane

[lilac glen]

I will be brutalized when I try anyone else, won't I?

[heavy vigil]

you can get this by war as germany

[tulip thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-mlp-fim-g4-gif-17555461819503233361

[heavy vigil]

no youll probably learn to interact with the game more as youll feel a "need" to

[lilac glen]

2.8% combat width penalty

https://tenor.com/view/john-marston-john-marston-death-red-dead-redemption-red-dead-redemption2-rdr-gif-27003131

[heavy vigil]

thats pretty bad

its probably like 10-20%+ less stats

[lilac glen]

I am having so much freaking fun lol

I will never get bored of this

Also

[lilac glen]

This is such a confusing thing for me tbh

Not your stats

That's quite normal for Paradox games

I just can't seem to be able to replicate this stuff

In my games

[heavy vigil]

what general do you use?

thats a good start

[lilac glen]

I dunno

I am in bed rn

[heavy vigil]

ah i see

[lilac glen]

3 AM

[heavy vigil]

you memorize these things when playing a lot

[simple vine]

i usually save it for another time if i get bored

[lilac glen]

I should be sleeping but I am injecting HOI4 cocaine in my brain

[simple vine]

shame on you you're in bed but don't even know which general you used

[lilac glen]

I hope I will get massive stats as well

In the future

This game is really fun

[lilac glen]

I am just melting through everything, I just couldn't care to remember 😭

Also, I designed my tanks with so much love

But my infantry is just crushing everything

[simple vine]

whut infantry division template did you use

[lilac glen]

I am actually having a massive deficit of rubber

So I have almost zero production of tanks

I only got 6 tank divisions

[lilac glen]

9/1 (or 9/2? I forgor 💀)

Surprisingly efficient

Ton of support ofc

[simple vine]

hmm

[lilac glen]

The balkans was kinda disastrous

I reached literally 0 manpower left lmao

But I got back to ~300k guys real quick

The big issue wasn't even meat grinding

Is that I was mass training my manpower

I have 7 full armies already

Why did I do this?

PTSD from getting attacked by the Soviets while only hzving 2 and a half armies

I canceled all training except tanks now tho

[silk gust]

BULGARIA FOREVER

[fair horizon]

who the heck plays bulgaria 💀

[lilac glen]

Everyone plays their own country at least once

[silk gust]

I almost capitulated but then one single horse division walked into Belgrade and Serbia surrendered

[fair horizon]

fair enough

[atomic grove]

why did u accept their surrender

free puppets

[silk gust]

Because it like getting to like 1938 and I didn’t know that would happen

[atomic grove]

be the bulgarian genghis khan

[silk gust]

lol

[atomic grove]

i think u get like a division debuff

[silk gust]

I’ll just go to war against them after the 2 weltkeig

[atomic grove]

but if ur able to make them surrender

then u should be able to also kill them all the way

[silk gust]

Oh okay

I checked my stats and theirs nothing that gives me a debuff for that

[atomic grove]

i meant if u refused their surrender

[silk gust]

Ohh

[atomic grove]

but i believe youd still be able to kill them with that debuff

[silk gust]

I just refused ottomans surrender and it only give -10 wat support

War

[atomic grove]

holy

[atomic grove]

forgot u can take the entire ottoman empire as bulgaria lol

[silk gust]

Jesus bro

Really?!

[atomic grove]

yes

[atomic grove]

u can encircle ottoman divisions very easily

[silk gust]

True

[warped flint]

got it

[silk gust]

BULGARIA FOREVER

[warped flint]

[sly elm]

[woven sparrow]

is there an ideal all around infantry template that only requires minor amounts of editing for different terrains?

[vital cove]

16w for defense, 36w for offense

[woven sparrow]

👍

[fervent minnow]

hey guys

i mightve messed up a bit

what counters a 9inf 1arty infantry?

i accidentally gave somebody my ideal division but i lowk dont know how to counter it

like what width

[azure dagger]

any space marine division ig

[fervent minnow]

do they work in mp

in sp i never saw too much of a change with them

they just feel like a myth to me

[misty fossil]

consider switching to limited trade or no trade

simple

[vital cove]

they are kinda useless nowadays because AI uses support AT

[misty fossil]

do they

[vital cove]

and in mp people use at and tanks as well

so

yea

[quasi osprey]

how in the world are democrats still in power

not very democratic of a democratic country

this is 1940

İt kicks me out when I try

[misty fossil]

the natsocs are gerrymandering

is that south africa?

who plays that country

[vital cove]

16w for defense, 36w for offense

road 56 and chaos mod

[lavish skiff]

Is there a console command for adding a command resource?

[toxic cypress]

why does your common wealth have an indian chakra

[warped flint]

idk

maybe monarchist ?

[void eagle]

128 convoys

[inland falcon]

to be fair, south africa is very accustomed to minority rule already

[void eagle]

How is my game

[quasi osprey]

well I will have to wait untill 1943 now

[inland falcon]

what are the white south africans gonna do? complain about representation?

[void eagle]

Is it good?

I'm pretty new

[inland falcon]

i have no idea whats even going on here

but it sucks either way because himmler exists

[quasi osprey]

ussually in most countries when fscists are gaining popularity in desicions there appears a tab that says fascists on the rise south africa doesnt have that

[void eagle]

i have this much hours

im addicted

[inland falcon]

doesn't saf have like a focus or something that changes your ideology?

[quasi osprey]

only through civil war

but the democrats get most of the resources factories and army

[inland falcon]

i mean, white ethnonationalism can't be that popular among the people lol

but yeah its probably the only way you can do it then

[quasi osprey]

well in 1943 the elections will probably change me to fascists but thats a lot of time

[inland falcon]

south african content is pretty awful anyway tbh

all the together for victory content is

[toxic cypress]

nah

the british focus tree

pretttty peak

[inland falcon]

didn't man the guns do most of that?

hello yalls

this game sucks

[opaque mulch]

ikr why can land cruisers not use nuclear engines

[mellow jetty]

Mr and Mrs, i presume

[eternal palm]

Can relate

[fervent minnow]

cold war

except its poland vs us

[inland falcon]

the worst part is that i still don't understand navy 😭

[eternal palm]

Make these

Simple

Deathstack your fleet but separate the subs

[inland falcon]

yeah but what about like numbers, how many of each should i be going for

[eternal palm]

As many as you can

[fervent minnow]

what about some of those sweet, sweet cheap ass destroyers

[inland falcon]

ogty

[eternal palm]

You can make a navy with as little as 20 docks

[eternal palm]

Oh right

Don't have a design for those since it's literally just gun and engine 1

[fervent minnow]

torpedo and attack

[eternal palm]

Uh no

[fervent minnow]

i do two

one for torpedo

one for attack

[eternal palm]

We don't have any data supporting torps being any good lol

[fervent minnow]

and maybe an anti sub one

[fervent minnow]

i dont care about meta

torpedos are cool

[eternal palm]

Why multirole

Makes no sense

[grizzled yarrow]

Pooland

[fervent minnow]

it does

[eternal palm]

Yea don't mean it's good

[eternal palm]

Make 2 designs

[grizzled yarrow]

Holy playing a minor nation is painful

[eternal palm]

You have more of both

[fervent minnow]

otherwise you'd stack all of them on one and it would do less damage then it would if it was two seperate ones

i like to seperate my fleet okay

it worked so far for me

[eternal palm]

Again if you don't care that's fine but don't argue that your was is superior when you're not even trying

Just keep larp Ing

[eternal palm]

Doesnt mean it's good

Agsin

[fervent minnow]

i'm not arguing

i'm just saying it worked for me

[eternal palm]

If you don't care, don't talk about it

[eternal palm]

You quite literally are

But oh well

[grizzled yarrow]

I just realised

Rangers exist

[fervent minnow]

bro

its not an argument at all

i'm just saying

i, PERSONALLY, like to seperate them

[eternal palm]

You literally disagreed with me. Is that not an argument

[eternal palm]

See that's fine

[fervent minnow]

thats an disagreement

[eternal palm]

Yea whatever

[fervent minnow]

not an argument

[eternal palm]

Kinda sounds like it though

[fervent minnow]

how

literally how

how is something that i say has worked for ME an argument to YOU

have i said "no what youre saying is wrong?"

[eternal palm]

In the way you tried to make a case for your design and I frankly disagree

[fervent minnow]

no i havemt

[eternal palm]

But that's semantics

[fervent minnow]

i can't defend my ideas?

[grizzled yarrow]

I got a question
