[inland falcon]

like at the end of the day, it's a game, if some things are changed to make it more fun, cool, thats good

[frank igloo]

because I prepped for the communist rebellion

and not world war three

im going to be pissed off

[full quest]

Anybody got the link for the all dlc pirated?

[tulip thorn]

Not allowed here

[dusky burrow]

Challenge: Successfully sealion without any airplanes before the US joins the Allies

[tulip thorn]

Ill take up this challenge

[dusky burrow]

I imagine tanks and large inf with triple AA2 might be useful (don't use large unit tactics though if you're running tanks)

[quasi osprey]

I also have a pretty nice challenge take back all ukrainian lands starting with ukraine released from chechoslovakia as soon as you start your game

[random sinew]

yall know any mods lowk

[quasi osprey]

Millennium dawn and kaisserreich

[warped flint]

I just learned that luxembourg has 2 generals

[quasi osprey]

To be fair I played it for some time and the furthest I have got is just 4 mils 4 civs and 13 divs

[knotty vortex]

what is the method for making the european union

should you start out as france

and wait until germany take the belenux

then fight both germany and italy

and then during the peace conference you can take benelux + germany + italy

[dusky burrow]

Maybe, could be luck dependant tbh

[quasi osprey]

Yes

Idk why in my run as ukraine it was start of 1942 and germany didn't attack soviets yet

It was end of may

[quasi osprey]

Also depends on if ur fascist communist or democratic if ur fascist then it is pretty straightforward just trying to take over soviets and getting a big enough part of the peace score

[atomic wolf]

hi

[quasi osprey]

In my run as communist ukraine it would be pretty hard

[quasi osprey]

Now that I think of it I would have to actually wait for the soviets to capitulate and then fight the Germans so lmao I chose the wrong leadership for this challenge

[glad lake]

GUYS İVE GOT 2 OPTİONS ANSWER QUİCKLY

İ EİTHER LEAVE MY ALLİES TO THE SOVİETS

OR İ EİTHER LEAVE AFRİCA AND İM THE ONLY COUNTRY THAT HAS ARMY İN THE AFRİCA

SO WHAT İS THİS

AFRİCA OR ALLİES

İ CAN LOSE TO THE SOVİETS WİTH FİGHTİNG THEM

[dusky burrow]

Yeah that'd be straightforward

[dusky burrow]

This is so confusing

[quasi osprey]

Africa I guess they are easier then problem operation sealing and then u can attack soviets

[glad lake]

wait

a bad thing

[dusky burrow]

Soviets are weak anyways, you can probably conquer all of your allies first

[glad lake]

but im not that good player

i always lose to the soviet

but THERE İS ONE THİNG İ CAN DO

[dusky burrow]

division templates, doctrines, and air templates?

[glad lake]

dont have em

i suck

[quasi osprey]

Yes but not exceptionally easy

[dusky burrow]

oh my this is a dlc-less run

[quasi osprey]

Still easier than doing it as democratic or communist

[glad lake]

guys there is one more thing ican do

i can leave my allies

AND BECOME ALLİES WİTH THE SOVİETS

[dusky burrow]

I mean, seems like it

I thought you were allied to them already

[glad lake]

nah

so no allies?

no helping my allies

[warped flint]

tryna get this achievement rn

probably will get it tommorow

its almost 4 am

[warped flint]

Well

today

i guess...

[quasi osprey]

Soviets are usually stronger than italy so probably yes

[coral gorge]

good enough for a late intervention in Barbarossa ig?

[glad lake]

dayum

[quasi osprey]

Italy is usually useless

[glad lake]

nah

they cookin

the naval invading everything

[quasi osprey]

Well that is rare

[glad lake]

and for portugal

balkans and portugal did this

ngl italy is good like almost every game for me

[quasi osprey]

Then idk I had a similar run as spain where soviets capitulated and africa was taken by axis

[glad lake]

except fighting with franec

question

since the soviets isnt fighting with the

allies

does that mean when they naval invade africa

the land goes to the allies?

holy shi

NOO

leaving africa

wait i got an idea

what if i just did a line

to protect

Quick one, starting a new game today. I play to get Götterdämmerung but I am questioning the last 2 DLC as I am not reading much good about them. What are your opinions on them?

[prisma saddle]

what is the best infantry template to use as front holder in russia?

with support companies

18 width infantry is almost universally the best template for defense

Hey guys, I recently switched computers, and have a 2k screen. UI is either very small or text is kinda blurry when I scale the UI... also I have dual screens and mouse keep getting out of the game screen, any solution/mod was made to fix this ? Or should I just make one myself

[finite plume]

Added some stuff for Saudi Arabia so far

[gentle briar]

hmmm

can you get achievements with mods installed?

i wanna get player led peace conferences

[finite plume]

[knotty vortex]

twin you better get to playing germany then

[terse loom]

Breaks here and there but I’ve been on more

[knotty vortex]

i pay for DLC

its £12 for 3 months

thats like

insanely cheap

and if you stop playing

just unsubscribe

The USSR lost a war against europe

and lost millions of soldiers int he process

and they got puppeted during the peace deal

can i just delete soem of their manpower through devmode?

[vital cove]

that's just ruining the game for yourself

[hot oxide]

not really

youre telling me after russia capitulated and got puppeted all of their dead soldiers came back to life?

[vital cove]

Russia just has that much manpower

[hot oxide]

no they dont

cos i saw they were on all adults serve

and now theyre on limited conscription

[vital cove]

whats their conscription law

[hot oxide]

wait no

volunteer only

after 15 years of war?

from like 1941 to 1958 the ussr was fighting germany

millions died

and then they got puppeted

[molten forge]

would the intellegence agency help a lot if i prepare it before a war

[hot oxide]

and now theyve brought back all of their soldiers from the dead

and im ruining the game for myself for saying thats bs?

once you destroy their main bulges

they just die

my airforce doesn't seem to enjoy it tho

[flint wyvern]

Can u check out my save game now

[coral gorge]

is it still in 1.16?

then no

I will try not to care

[flint wyvern]

Why cant you downgrade?

[cold vapor]

man ur kinda cooked, but remove some divison from the maginot line and try to fill the hole

[coral gorge]

I just don't have spare memory on the disk to duplicate my HoI4 folder anymore

so I cannot downgrade

too much trouble for modding later

[knotty vortex]

okay

[fringe shell]

ahh yes soviet logistic

[coral gorge]

still can't remove Low Legitimacy

[glad lake]

yo guys how do i understand navy

i want to invade the uk

[coral gorge]

you don't really need to understand the navy to invade the UK

just do the basics such as

stacking all the ships in one task force, but separate the submarines

try to fight some distance away from home island

ie not the adjacent sea zones

bait the screen ships out and kill those

eventually they won't have screenships left for their main fleets

then you go in to kill the main fleets

[vivid orchid]

holy yap allat to just spam subs and pray

[fossil olive]

It’s not messing you up too bad

Still pretty bad especially cause your at war

[cold vapor]

lol just pray the uk ai put their ships somewhere else

[trim lotus]

Of course. Ahistorical game, 1943, get bored and prep a massive invasion of Venezuela just to have something to do. And then, just days before the invasion is set to commence, I finally get the chance to get involved in a real war when Burma begs for help against France.

If I have auto reinforce ON for my naval task force, does is strictly only reinforce for that specific type of ship? E.g. the TF has heavy cruisers in it. i'm happy with the port reinforcing with normal cruisers if I have no heavy... is there any way to set that or will it just leave it empty/not reinforced if I dont have any?

How does one win the german civil war

[coral gorge]

I already did in 1940

I have deployed approx 10% of the great nation of Ireland into the Navy where we will fight for our lives against literally everyone at once

[signal oracle]

with or without cheese?

[knotty maple]

As much cheese as possible

[opal nymph]

Concentrate your actual army on the border pre war so when the war starts, you just rush Berlin

[signal oracle]

with? convert every single unit into the worst template possible, maybe a single bicycle, and then start civil war and then convert yours back to normal, decent units and it's an easy win

[knotty maple]

Ok

[knotty maple]

Thats foul

Imma try

ncns didnt really turn out it looks like

?

WHAT

they still get infantry

???

[finite plume]

I think the only positive rated one that came out recently was Gotterdammerung

[signal oracle]

You make a template with a single unit in it, then you convert every single unit into that template, declare war, switch the template of your troops back and kill them

[knotty maple]

it didnt work

those pesky notsees still got infantry

[signal oracle]

Hmmm? Did they parch it??

[finite plume]

Most civil wars have hidden OOBS (Code that spawns troops)

[astral forum]

Half of it is people complaining about prices (valid but get mods... free for better) and the other half about people saying it's just a Waking the Tiger copy which is bullshit bc they were begging for a China rework lmao

[finite plume]

So even if you change it, they'll still just spawn an army

[finite plume]

It was around the same time they integrated MTG without refunding/compensating anyone

[knotty maple]

gonna try again

[finite plume]

That's why people were mad, they paid for the DLC just for it to go free with no compensation for them

[signal oracle]

Shi mb man, I didn’t know it was fixed

[knotty maple]

any other strats?

[finite plume]

Winning

[knotty maple]

i suck at the game

[signal oracle]

For Civil war or for in general?

[knotty maple]

for the german civil war

only time i do good is if i have the American industry or the finnish winter warfare buffs

[finite plume]

Yeah that one spawns troops on both sides so you're never gonna get the enemy's templates to be all weak

[signal oracle]

Hold a river line and grind out their troops, paradrop onto victory points

[astral forum]

Which is valid, I'm pissed about the MTG thing too

[knotty maple]

paradrop?

[finite plume]

That's why I just have the subscription

[knotty maple]

i didnt know you could get paratroopers in 1936

[fair horizon]

kinda weird because tbh its my least favorite dlc

[finite plume]

If they can just make DLCs free with no compensation at any time then do you really own it

Idk what year you’re in man 😭😭. I’m saying general strats

[knotty maple]

[pastel olive]

Is there any workaround for this or to know total numbers of all ship types in entire navy so that i can plan my reservers accordingly?

[finite plume]

Modded in power plants

[finite plume]

Like

The doctrines system just means you can't have as much content in them as before

[fair horizon]

i mean the issue is that it doesnt even feel good for majors since they win by the time any of the research is done

[finite plume]

And the naval system is so complex even the AI can't use it

So now navy is just utterly boring and meaningless

[fair horizon]

the only one that uses it well is america

[oak mantle]

doctrine is just ass now

[fair horizon]

but even then ive seen their capitals like twice?

[finite plume]

Literally zero use to Army/Navy/Air XP now

Maybe like buying 5 things each but then it's just useless

[oak mantle]

armor doctrine is incredibly hard to get so soviet tank build is a lot worse cause u dont get much fighting until germany but germany gets a bunch of armor doctrine

[signal oracle]

I love it 🙁 I got a 1 death (random ally DD) to 1,414 kills once

[oak mantle]

they gotta buff armor mastery gain

by a LOT

It's not that they're bad in the sense that they're useless, it's just that compared to the old system it was way easier and smoother

you dont need naval forts if you dont have a army

also your numbers aretn realistic with 60 factroies

[fair horizon]

sure you can

[arctic nest]

wait imma look rq

[signal oracle]

Yes, lots of oil in Iraq and Iran and so, just went off open market

[supple snow]

4,000 carrier fighters is like, nothing

I start a line with 1 factory in 1940, turn around and upgrade it in 1944 and find I have like 1k in stockpile

[arctic nest]

i thought you played ireland

[signal oracle]

I do?

[arctic nest]

iam talking about the navy

[clever shuttle]

when causing civilwar on for example uk with la resistance what amont of civilwar ideology support is needed for them to win?

[supple snow]

Ooh

[arctic nest]

so you also controll iran and iraq

[signal oracle]

Yes? I am allowed to control other countries??

[fair horizon]

you can build a good navy by 1947

even with less than 10 dockyards

[arctic nest]

you didnt sad that

[signal oracle]

You want a full rundown of my playthrough?

[arctic nest]

well 350 destroyer and 48 lightcruiser and 12 battelships

[signal oracle]

2

[arctic nest]

no i dont realy care

[fair horizon]

yeah?

[signal oracle]

You appear to

[fair horizon]

battleships assuming you make aa battleships are around 6k

[signal oracle]

Lemme check rq

[arctic nest]

idk his design

if they all just bare bones

[fair horizon]

light cruisers can be as cheap as 4k with level 1 everything on a early cruiser

destroyers are cheap cheap if you make them as you should with only 1 gun

its not a "good" light cruiser persay but its good enough

[arctic nest]

atleast get engine 2

also armor

[fair horizon]

nah thats expensive

the goal of that is to keep cost as low as possible

[arctic nest]

oh

[fair horizon]

if i were to change anything id do it on a basic cruiser

[arctic nest]

than you can get rid of anti air

[fair horizon]

eh probably but thats only like 60 ic or some small amount like that

[arctic nest]

realy

dawng

[fair horizon]

its tiny compared to other modules

[past pier]

()&

[craggy trail]

[fair horizon]

really the only issue with cruisers that cheap is that their piercing is lower so they do less damage to other cruisers

but they soak hits just fine so

[untold harbor]

dose someone wants to play road 56? and can host?

[rain loom]

hello

i suck at this game

[fair horizon]

same

[rain loom]

so i have made the executive decision to play black ice

[fair horizon]

anyone else hate how when macarthur makes his speech world tension drops to zero?

CAUSE I REALLY DO

[versed edge]

https://tenor.com/view/africa-nodding-yes-wide-eyes-african-man-yes-gif-326621635136294496

[arctic nest]

mac arthuer could realisticly never lower world tension

[fair horizon]

ayo someone that actually knows planes is this a good heavy fighter?

[fair horizon]

LMAO TRUE

[supple snow]

Looks good enough to me

Sturdy and big

Personally tho? I’d slap some machine gun pods on the side

IMO you can never ever have enough air attack

[fair horizon]

thats 4 hmgs

[supple snow]

I know

[arctic nest]

i think you can add a 1 defense turret

[neat kayak]

insane pocket made by this man

[fair horizon]

weight exceeds thrust if i do that

[supple snow]

Lmao, florius jumpscare

[arctic nest]

1 light turret?

dawng

anyways it should kill any ai plane

[fair horizon]

well 1 light turret would fit but it lowers my air attack

[supple snow]

Really? Oh shit I see!

[neat kayak]

GO FLORIUSSS

[arctic nest]

and i hope you plaing as usa

and no other country

[supple snow]

Question before I make another recommendation:
what country are you playing?

[fair horizon]

australia

[arctic nest]

what

dawng

[fair horizon]

doesnt really matter though

[arctic nest]

go use normal

[fair horizon]

im just trying to figure out a heavy fighter design

[arctic nest]

it doas

heavy fighters suck

should allways build normal fighters when not playing us

[supple snow]

Yeah if Australia just go with normal fighters tbh

If you must tho, Australia has the industry to spare since it can easily have more guns than men, so upgrade to the 4 engine setup

[fair horizon]

need the oil for my navy

[supple snow]

Ah, I see now

[fair horizon]

i have 5 sea regions to cover so

[supple snow]

How’s the Scrap Iron Flotilla you built?

[arctic nest]

lol

[fair horizon]

it beat every other country's navies so

[supple snow]

That’s so based

What’s your taskforce looking like?

[fair horizon]

i have 2

got some bbs from italy but otherwise i built all of my ships

[supple snow]

Communism?

[fair horizon]

the littoros are on patrol btw

yeah commie brazil is the best one

[supple snow]

Many communist trees are great, Brazil tho almost every single tree is perfect

Brazil is like Mexico, easy expansion

Argentina is cool too, haven’t yet had a proper chile run, maybe when they fix the crashing

I am holding off playing Australia until TAOG

[fair horizon]

sucks that navy doesnt matter becasuse the ai is braindead rn

also love how the game is so bugged that this is an issue

[magic aspen]

pro tip, don't start soviet civil war on the non aligned/ fascist path accidentaly before you do any focuses or take any states

[flint wyvern]

I lost a 100 divs so that's why it's less

[magic aspen]

this is just after the peace deal

you might notice the war was more than 4 years long lmao

[flint wyvern]

@signal oracle

[signal oracle]

What's up?

[vivid juniper]

America Du Sul

[flint wyvern]

See the ss

[signal oracle]

What about it?

[flint wyvern]

The 600 divs

[signal oracle]

Nice one man

[magic aspen]

alright time to start my regular gameplay in 1940 after a 36 start lol

it's a good thing I'm going down the fascist path or Germany could basically walk into Moscow at this point

on the positive side I moved my capital to Chita so they would certainly have difficulty taking that

[icy lion]

guys im new to this game, and somehow when invading greece as italy the soviet union capitulated.

poland is more powerful than the ussr

[grave mist]

did u enable historical focuses

[icy lion]

uhh i think so

[grave mist]

uh show a ss of the map?

[icy lion]

i dont have it open rn

[grave mist]

if u had allies in the war they prob capitulated soviets

[icy lion]

so finland and poland managed to defeat the entire massive union of soviet socialist republics

[grave mist]

if they took enough cities

[icy lion]

lol

[grave mist]

if not

get an antivirus

😭

[icy lion]

yeah poland is a superpower they took moscow where germany could not

[magic aspen]

Anti-Russian Russia

[icy lion]

lol

they ready for civil war

[grave mist]

how do u even come up with these scenarios

[magic aspen]

it was an accident lol

this is my first time playing russia

so I accidentaly got the civil war super early because of paranoia

[icy lion]

how tf did you make anti-russia while playing first time as russia

[magic aspen]

and it lasted until december 1940

[heavy vigil]

civ eco not using xp not using mils sooo much spare pp 💔

[magic aspen]

I had nothing to do with pp

[heavy vigil]

???

[magic aspen]

I did literally every focus available to me

had no advisors to appoint

and was doing every decision that mattered

[terse skiff]

youre on civ eco

[heavy vigil]

eco law... conscription... decisions

[terse skiff]

You only have 181 factories

[magic aspen]

yeah I just finished the civil war

for most of the war I controlled 2 provinces

[heavy vigil]

tbf right side russia eco is really bad

no baltics either

[magic aspen]

yeah because I was holed up in east russia with a single province lol

mistakes were definitely made but I wanted to stick with it and see if I could pull out a win

honestly I'm quite proud of the fact that I did

[heavy vigil]

thats not the main issue

you just dont really have time for 5 year plan

[magic aspen]

but yeah because my civil war was so long by the time Germany signed the anti soviet pact I was still at war

[heavy vigil]

in the same wya you normally would

way*

[magic aspen]

I mean being at max factories with no slots to build anything for 4 years also did not help

[terse skiff]

Do you know how to get all the equipment during a civil war?

There's a trick

[magic aspen]

I do not

[grave mist]

lend lease to someone else before civil war

[magic aspen]

unless it's the lend lease cheese

[grave mist]

and when it breaks out return the lease

[magic aspen]

yeah I didn't want to do that

[heavy vigil]

im not sure if they patched that

afaik they did a while ago

[magic aspen]

I'll probably do it next time but for my first game with the soviets I wanted to try to actually do the civil war

[rose narwhal]

do someone know of a good div to play as canada

[magic aspen]

I'm already on civilian I didn't want to make it even easier

[supple snow]

How does that sheep mod do navy?

[terse skiff]

Create 1 line artillery divisions. Convert all to this division. Lend lease everything else, once civil war begins cancel lend lease and you get all equipment back and can convert your artillery divisions back to normal divisions

[magic aspen]

yeah I do that as Germany

[terse skiff]

Literally the only thing that line artillery is good for

[magic aspen]

true lol

but yeah I know my game is not going particularly well I just thought it was funny that I accidentaly made anti russian russia

[grave mist]

should i do france civilian or germany recruit next? i know most of mechanics by my third germany game

[fair horizon]

wait why are basic destroyers allowed to have 2 seaplane tenders but improved can only have 1?

[heavy vigil]

its pretty good against gun 0 and gun 1

[magic aspen]

well Germany declared on me so I guess it's time to restart and try to do the civil war maybe a little faster lol

[restive sable]

is this focus bugged?

or am i just dumb

[fair horizon]

chat can you guess what my favorite ship type is?

[vagrant matrix]

Carriers

[fair horizon]

no french allowed

thats right

[vagrant matrix]

I’m Dutch😭

[fair horizon]

basically the same thing

[vagrant matrix]

Ouch-

[signal oracle]

Oi vey

[fair horizon]

you're a monster

only 2 carriers? smh

[signal oracle]

I have like 30 dockyards, what do you expect 😭

[fair horizon]

more

just replace like 10 of those destroyers for a carrier

[signal oracle]

Uhhh

[long igloo]

yo guyz

i have a question

[long igloo]

can we create custom countries in hoi4 just like eu4?

[fair horizon]

port striking time

FINALLY

unfortunately the carriers and the battleships got away

usa just casuallty leaving 4 carriers in a port

why do my ships just stop doing their job?

[vagrant matrix]

They hate you. They gained sentience

[fair horizon]

well they are italian so i guess

[signal oracle]

Not even with planes or smthn

In a single war from sinking literally the entire Allied fleet I now own most of Africa, middle east, england, belgium, netherlands and obv the North of Ireland

History teaches us one things

Humans are just endless perpetrator of their own end

[jagged acorn]

...like most life.

[safe wing]

Isn’t that one of the themes of the story I’n writing atm

[jagged acorn]

Humans are just complicated... you can't judge them as a collective because no two human being are the same.

Some are selfless altruists.

Some are selfish monsters who would mortgage over people to death.

[jagged acorn]

The species is held together by duct tape, and hope, as it has been done ever since we crawled out of East Africa. And whether we like it or not. We will most likely persist. In what state? Entirely debateable.

[signal oracle]

I genuinely don't know where they are attacking me

I actually dont

but I am losing so so much

Scoreboard

The Benelux is a hole rn

[fair horizon]

so theres a workaround for the bug if anyone encounters it but you have to change bases when they're not on patrol

and that works for a few months

[signal oracle]

I might have to retire the Surface fleet again. We lost a whole task force in one battle. 1/30th of the surface fleet gone

[fair horizon]

howd you manage that?

take your ships off their task and right click your port when you have them selected

anyone know why i cant do this focus?

u control all ur cores so u cant do it

dont have dairen

if it aint in the list then it dont count

that's so stupid

why even have that as a prerequisite

[fickle thicket]

idk

paradox is paradox

[restive sable]

if i were to release china or something as a puppet would that allow me to do the focus

[azure palm]

these fronts hurt. Also, why is vichy france green?

[frail locust]

playing 1.16.10 without any mods, idk tbh it just seemed ordinary for me

[azure palm]

vichy france is normally this weird shade of blue I think

[frail locust]

it just felt funny as it stretched to sinkiang lol

[frail locust]

yes i remember that being in previous versions for me but idk

[azure palm]

Also China is yellow. But that is probably because you dont have NCNS

or because its an earlier version

[frail locust]

yes as far as i know i only have 2 dlcs

[azure palm]

which ones?

[frail locust]

i think the austria hungary one and a different one, let me check
