that means GERMANY did WORSE than FINLAND against the soviets
I have not stepped foot in europe
or really out of the horn of africa
its all in your head ahh civil war
The German ai is notoriously bad
I didnt like it when they could solo the soviet union
that was kind of weird to me
but dude
they are WAY to weak now
they NEVER hit minsk without another country helping them
and they always just go negative KD wise
they nerfed germany
in the absensce of the germans
my empire shall prevail
even though im with the germans just ignore that
Thats a lot of red bubbles
just ignore that
I have enough manpower
trust me
Oh anyways
do either of you know what happened earlier?
I paradropped into the UK
and when they capped a peace deal came up
but only the capitulated allies were in it
the regular allies, like canada, america, etc etc, were not able to be taken
and now, the allies are dissolved, and each nation has moved to a new faction
so basically
they were all independant
and then the peace deal happened because of that?
only the cap'd allies?
when i play italy
african
ok so turns out that the soviets can indeed annex baltic states while at war ๐ซข
also all the americans are still there so
yeah!
!!!
amazxing!!!
AMERICA IS IN ALL OF MY COLONIES
GET OUT
Italy is so bad that The Iraqi state that just got couped took more british land
all hail bernie
tfr scuffed up and now i can use justify war goal
๐ฅ
god bless the quick load
wait nevermind
Stalin deployed his army of biplanes to their inevitable death
oops
why did I take hong kong
I accidently took it in the peace deal when I annex all of Britain to myself
Player led peace deals WHAT would I do without you
im restarting, going to do the global hegemon focus minus the civil war, i need good division templates so one tile islands like cuba dont turn into three day special military operations
oh my god italy
you actually did something!
I totally forgot about the soldiers in Britain
yes I see the issue
I got into a funky peace deal earlier
when Britain fell
and because their was still occupying US troops
they were already in my territory ๐ญ
it happened in Britain too, hence why I had to go and kick them out (again)
its honestly a huge issue
I just dont care
because inevitably once the soviets go down
I can just kick them out again
How do you get medium armaments as germany?
or stall them while I invade elsewhere
see
little rats in my territory
they eat my rubber
stinky rats
schizo path
i pulled out the rat poison
stalin it doesnt have to be this way
you can give up the city dude its been 3 long years
I was gonna say
the only thing thats a little odd is the finnish people
but tbf it happened 3 years prior
it actually took me 3 years to get this by the way
for some reason we could never take murmansk
this time it fell in like a day idk why
thats probably wraps now though
that was their only supply hub for all of the north soviet union
for bernie
3 years of death and agony and its JUST NOW starting to work ๐ญ
I have a game for you all
its guess the template
in general, if you had to guess what this was, what do you think?
well it was a fun 30 seconds
field hospitals, support AA, 8 mecha?
or 6 mecha
yo it canNOT be that serious brandler ๐ญ
it was pretty obv
fack
rn thats just a fast infantry division
I could've guessed it correctly if I wasn't playing sultunate of aussa
why dont u make a frontline
so I didn't have mecha, field hospitals, or recon
oh yeah forgot
well right now its because my divisions will soon be retreating to riga and surrounding areas
dude
please unninstall
i dont wanna
3 armored cars, 3 aa, 3 art, support AA, cavalry recon, field hospitals?
that's my best guess
I already sent it ๐
oh I didn't see
how tf does somebody guess that
were my supports correct?
just knows from instinct its 3 aa art and armored cars ๐ญ
nah it was the same support
where'd the inf equip come from?
AA, Mot Recon, and Engi
I meant same as last
oh I didn't know mot recon and engi took up inf equip
guys
I have a bad feeling about this
wow as soon I sent any divisions there it instantly got better
now
we can actually keep italy
LAMEEEEE
@heavy vigil december 1944 ๐
I love setting Italy to +50% strength and playing on Civilian
good cut off
And just taking over the world
all those divisions are stuck
so thats about a 20 division encirclement?
Ignore the high realm of livonia thats js me
Livonia mentioned
show navy
the siege of leningrad is almost over
my frontlines will finally merge
after 4 years of war
and over 2 million deaths
cringe
fym cringe
I literally could not
im gonna get my first dockyard soon
real countries have navies
hungary isnt a real country btw
very impressive after almost 2k hours
i'm the sultunate of aussa bro what should I do
what could this achievement POSSIBLY be
build a grand fleet
you should start a drama commentary channel
as sweden puppet japan lmfao
depends on what i'm doing
if I wanna instacap, then 1 batallion
otherwise, 9
yeah I just use 1x3
cause it can survive for like 3 seconds
instead of 1 second
and then die anyways
I actually use them to garrison a lot of the time
since they otherwise get very little action
I delete them if they're not being used
i have a plan, john.
why? im still centrum
I have a real. plan. john.
WAZAAAAA
cringe plane enjoyer
Im about to launch 400 planes into enemy territory in south florida
build a navy smh
land in miama
I can drop to limited conscript ๐ฅน
what country are you playing as
I love extensive conscription
best conscription
I love it
sultunate of aussa
can't even go there
scrape the barrel.
im scared
sit in 1 mountain tile untill srussoline becomes tired
these shitty americans took all my land
yes I know how to
with naval invasions
I lost literally 90 million non core manpower
how do you think I got a million mp
dammm
non core population*
DAMN YOU AMERICANS
I HATE YOU
GET OUT OF AFRICA
WHY ARE OYU HERE ๐ญ
THEY TAKE
AND THEY STEAL
AND ROB
cant have shit in detriot man
me once as EU cap US trough dying mexico
"ill be there."
are there any support companies that use 0 supply
"every christmas eve. Ill be there"
you wish
logistics company
for the first time in 4 entire years
my soldiers have seen the faces
of their long lost brothers
๐ฅน โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
might be useful
i'm running irregular only sultunate of aussa
I love it when I try to make a legitimate peace deal as Axis and then Italy annexes all of Canada ๐ฅ
rich
that's what I will research next
"yo bro come outside we aint gon jump u"
Why is it MY divisions in here.
italy this is YOUR country bro
WHAT did I just deploy
when did I start training these bro ๐ญ
nah it's genius
cuz 0 supply use
dlc or without?
without it cant do perl harbor
all dlcs
and for some reason siam joined axis
should i get TFR, TNO or great war redux?
gwr
i dont usually check this screen but holy shit
but play the expanded
alright the 1 batallion divs were a bad idea
oh it's cuz they were exercising
silly me
whats the difference?
tfr
ONES MORE FUNNER THAN THE OTHER
dude
thats your best encirclement?
can we get much higher
what fhe tuck did you expect
i dont think it was an encirclement
what nation should i play then?
PINK KAISER WILHELM 2?
USA and go down Remember 1898 path its hella fun
you get roosevelt as a general
what map mod is this?
Vintage Map Mod
thanks
dude this is like the 4'th random encirclement in my lines
I just killed off another 23 divisions and see this
keep in mind
this is the strongest nation in the game
not only pushed back in italy
but also
losing on EVERY single battle
to a bunch of finnish people
not even german
just finnish
and italian
see I could stop this
but im too nonchalant
so ima let it happen
once the USSR and the entire comintern faction falls
the table under the board shall collapse with the game

why did italy just randomly become usefull on historical lol
Impossible
What is truly impossible is how far you have to push as the western Roman Empire to kill Russia
In collapsing world rise of radicalism
yo stalin GENUINELY
just give up
its over gang
my allies might be struggling but im not ๐ โ๏ธ
green checks against the USSR is crazy
lets see how this goes !
yeah its over
actual air superiority
OH MY GOD
THIS IS IN ITALY
THESE ARE US PLANES
how did this even get this bad
I thought the US always has a crazy air force
italian civil war started
but
too late
all this gave the new italy was palermo
sicilia
as you can see it actually gave us more land
so thanks italy and america
they had a line all the way up to firenze
like this
what a fall off
lmao
germany declared on ireland so i gotta clean em up
god BOTH of their templates are ass
america btw
this my plane btw
like
I can literally make 3 of these a day
and shoot down 26 planes

oh cool didnt even know this existed
skill vs spam?
Apparently spam wins
yo actually Im so happy we are holding them
cause if italy went down
everything would instantly fall apart
I said earlier you only need cheap, efficient planes
and you guys doubted me
it is genuinely easy to just make a cheap spammable Engine II double Light MG plane
and send like 3 thousand of them to their death ๐ญ
Another achievement
Also
uh
i turned human ai after germany capitulated and my game crashed
is because america will demobilize some troops
and leave the italians to hold themself
however because the civil war italy has like 300k manpower
if you just let them attack you
and it looks cooler
the dark green is tuff
as shown in the photo
ok dude we get it
yes the dark green is tuff too
keep in mind hes talking about the color
im talking about this
dude what
in gwr why tf does greece have a focus tree 3x bigger than japans
literally just fallout at this point ๐ญ
the ai's designs are so bad ๐ญ
in gwr greece has a bigger focus then like all of the majors
Is this tfr?
ussr and germany with austria is tuff
in 2030
fun
No Step Back
Arms Against Tyranny
Ok
britain naval invaded ireland and I had to move divisions cause thats where all my airports were
I was gonna get arms against tyranny but should I get no step back first
You can get most content in the game with those 2 (that really matter)
Cause that has the custom tank designs right
BBA is alright as well
and now I lost a port and about to lose like 40 divisions
No Step Back is the tank designer one, yeah
You also get Soviet alt hist, Poland alt hist, baltic trees, and some other features
I donโt want to be a master at navy, but just what are the basic basic fundamentals that I should know
keep putiing navy till the water turns green
i hate this game
who doesnt every now and then
look at these pockets
barbarossa again ๐ญ
#ask-for-help-here can sm1 help me?
Possibly the least fun I have had
this isj ust painfull
they wont run out of manpower
WHAT
Hello gentlemen
so beautiful
How do I build a navy?
Not design wise
Production wise
Do I just make 10 production lines with 3 navy yards for every ship type?
honestly if china nukes sydney i would be in the fireball
Bruh im waiting for gym emplooye to open the shi
Am I the only one still play hoi2
whats it like
I heard it is a balance between hoi4 and hoi3, is this true
Kinda, but HOI3 is more complexed and detailed than hoi2
Chiang himself seems to have the least amount of content in main China wtf
damn
UHH
What's the best warlord to play as ?
Like strongest base ?
I picked Guangdong but is there a better one ? ๐ฅ
i want to be AUSSA
no formables
i just woke up i should continue the agony
ethiopia core isn't formable
the formable gives you cores on somalia and eritrea
wdym it changes your name abit no?
anyway ivegone right side tree
25% pop factor will be useful one day
its worse for non core pop than the other side...
i will cope
also why did you use like actually good doctrines
whats the point
theres no army
did he not use militia irregular shit
shi man idk
I didn't really use good doctrines
I switched to guerrilla war later once I didn't need the mp from desp defense
mp is fake
i dont believe in it
it's real
and considering how bad I was, I needed the extra stuff
i dont think my run was very lucky ngl
besides a bit in the early game
mine was unlucky cuz I had to play hist
and cuz ethiopia like insta died
thats a choice
Chat, what's the best warlord ๐ฅ
I forgot
warlords, it's either that one with the cavalry buffs or one of the ones in the south
I think it's guanxi and guandong?
that's prolly fine
Yeah guangdong i think
I built 2000 planes while taking over China as Sikiang last time
manchukuo is great
Forgot to build the air bases though
SO
they get the easiest decent air MIO
most research slots easily attainable
and some other good buffs
i love manchucko
why does aussa get an air mio but not a support equip mio ๐
the little touch up in ncns makes it a bit more fun too
i just dislike the foreign policy branch
you get generic
might as well not have one
i'd like a support equip mio
Where's the aluminum/rubber dammit
I had engis on my guys for a bit
Do i need to kill france ๐ฅ
during the long period of defending from italy
insanity
wdym
they dint give mountain or desert bjff
buff*
theyre gonna waste manpower and equipment since no hp
they give entrenchment buff and general defense buff tho, right?
and youre spending valuable research on them
I don't think they did
its not that much
base entrenchment is 5
I had like nothing else to research
had almost maxed out
you have 2 slots
I was stuck in a hole for WAYY too long
had almost maxed out
wdym maxed out
like researched everything
I had almost gotten all guns
only things i was missing was night vision 2
what
totally fulfilled
-5k?
12.6K
damn
I don't think I ever went into a gun deficit
except maybe very early on
mostly cuz I wasn't training many units
i just got about 40k guns from requesting lend lease
Hi
hello
Hooray
late 40
i dont think ive had full strenght units in the past like 2 years
as in all being full strenght
I didn't have full strength units til 1940
cuz of mp
and I didn't have enough units to push
well I mean
I could push but I couldn't hold
when i started pushing i had 1 unit per tile or less
they had like 3 divs per tile
oh btw right side path lets you get a no-dlc tech
special forces tech 1
its awesome
same for now
but i will later
goal is still to somehow unify china
idc about any other land
Europe is German now RIP
scraping the barrel
DAMNN
this is why you desperate defense
also the irregular inf doctrine gives recruitable pop
this is also why you core ethiopia
then i wouldnt have 60 tanks tho
60 tanks or tank divs
60 tanks
oh my god bruh
bruh
Did you convert your garrisons into tank garrisons?
i dont have tank tech yet
im working on it
how are you even in a gun deficit with that many mils
the most I ever had on guns was like
3
not anymore
since i capped saudi and iraq
but resistance
oh
I had 3 mils for most of that game
then I got 4 after ww2
damn, chinese generals are kinda cracked
yeah but you didnt occupy like anything lol
true
also my tank count doubled
120 ๐ญ
i have 120 light tanks now
why does sp art lower garrison stuff
less equipment needed
if I saw an sp artillery moving through my town I would be extra compliant
no like
when you switch from tanks to sp art
it's the same equip amount right
but it's like wayy less garrison thing
whatever it's called
True
im dying
garrisons genuinely killed my ability to fight
ph
when you switch from tanks to sp art in the designer, iirc the suppression drops to zero
or to some really low number
its always been less suppression
I randomly got motivated tonight and made this 
idk
im giving up on this run btw
unable to get manpower due to garrisons
you should've cored โ๏ธ
too many enemies for 19 divs
i dont think that wouldve fixed 55% resistance in south africa im gonna be honest
should've just
not gone down there
ig
or in syria,lebanon etc
and not have had any eco?
make a spy agency early
didnt have civs
sometimes its just out of your control ๐คท
idk if i should try again but it was kinda fun
Mid 39 on historical and Japan is still over 300 days away from starting the war 
Wang jingwei the great peace maker
There was this one run were I formed The holy Roman Empire as Italy and immediately left the save after forming it because my port guards were extremely stretched thousands of equipment down and a massive naval invasion was liberating France
Giving them 2 coal for extra time I see!

well if its italy its never out of your control tbf
youre a major you have the resources to prepare for that stuff
Yeah I was rushing it lowkey I completed it by 1942
ah yes
42 is like late
"Sir, the Chinese have given us 3 tungsten from Yunnan"
"Damn, hold hold off on invading for another 180 days"
anyway aussa is a lot more rough
For me no I usually form those bigger ones by 1945
Them 3 tungsten feed our entire country!
We canโt invade them weโd be fools!
Do people here realize there's an official tfr server
Yes.
I am muted for a week right now
They didnโt like my cheeto impression quite frankly
The 1.5 million well equipped Chinese divisions waiting in the north east :
I wasn't muted but I did leave because it's full of "Loji fans". Loji jokes get really unfunny really fast
Whatโs โLojiโ if I may ask
No fun allowed.
Chinese AI leader the new left can get in power if they lose the taiwan war
what's a fun and easy nation and path?
depends on how easy
I think this is kinda obvious GERMANY!
germany is easy but I don't really find it fun
Yeah thats kinda just the case for all easy paths
are you allowed that tag? ๐ญ
aside from germany, i've just played germany
Who's gonna stop me?
Try Italy
Italy can be a bit tricky but isnโt overly complicated or powerful either
it wasn't really fun without dlc from what I remember tho
Besides navy you wonโt catch me dead understanding navy
Tbh I used to just pirate DLCs
Now Iโm a changed man
Besides CK3
Some guy dropped his ship templates (I think they came from bittersteel though) and I just pump those out. Does the trick against the AI
it's pretty simple
you shit out light cruisers
and then you put them on patrol with naval bombers
boom you win navy
I mean I like playing navy with a actual navy if you get my drift
I try building an actual navy!
that's not too difficult either
not too difficult to understand, actually getting an actual navy is hard
If you're not larping you aren't playing paradox games properly lol
Well the reason itโs kinda hard is because building it takes forever and if you Pheck up along any way you loose the thing you built up for 2 hrs depending on your computer ofc
the real larp is playing italy, not making a good navy, and selling every war you do
Well now in The Great War Redux you are now expected to sit and die on the historical path
fool didn't do the sultanate of aussa world conq
Iโm so glad the game is informational
I wouldnโt of known it was Norway
Or Norwegian at that
is this norway
No itโs Norwegian Norway
i saw that on the reddit lmao
reichskommissariat got enough compliance and autonomy, so it formed a collab government
anyone wanna play pve?
I would but it's too late
hehe
Holy Battleplan
yeah there was no one on the front for awhile and i didn't feel like microing
also its the ai so gaf
Do you guys think that France+Italy+Spain+Portugal will win or will Germany solo them all
tbf during ww1...
If italy was on the right
They could have won
ww1 was Soviets + france vs Geramny + Austria Hungary
British was trying to make sure nobody grew too powerful
italy was being offered stuff to stay out or stay in
cool
france, italy and portugal were all in the entente, and ai spain is a pushover because of the civil war
so they basically dont count
scanning for mexicans
@leaden oyster am tryin again to do HRE
Who's there
It's your joke ๐ฅ
guys how do i get more war support
cool right
okay man whatever
which one is better
Panzer
Damn bro
i did prussiian
guys could yall see how im doing, idk really if these divs are good
i modified them myself im not sure if they r good
Good morning guys.
thanks guys.
Build SPGs if you want soft attack
what are those
I just donโt get it bro
I donโt even know the basics
How do I defend against naval invasions
How do I do that
Port garrisoning
What does that mean
You should watch bittersteel
I do
He teaches a lot in his disaster saves
Using your weaker troops to hold ports
So the enemy canโt capture it and use it as a base of operations
Iโll try to understand navy more itโs just like this big brick wall
Yeah cause doesnโt the ai automatically send divisions to it
Is that dangerous though
To widen the gap
Itโs risky on the aiโs part but just as hard for the player
Depending on circumstance
Ok
Right now uhm
Iโm the Russian empire with every country I can fragmented
So Japan has a war against me
With no borders
And idk how to naval invade
I could paradrop but I have no clue how strong the mainland Japan is
paradrop or smth
Iโm also playing rt56 cause I canโt afford dlc so idk if that changes anything
Not really
DLCs just add additional country content
Or gameplay content but it shouldnโt be that much different
Transport planes and paratroopers
You need to rule the sky also
Dude this is just sad
๐
One question guys.
The Expansion Pack 2 is a sort of pre-order in which you will get all the dlc right?
You need 75% air supremacy in the areas you want to land in
Go 1 billiard
wdym
I need more planes in probably just gonna restart
Why wont romania give me oil
One billiard losses
Every paradox game at this point is a game unfinished and only made for DLCs
Because you need to subjugate Romanias economy
Itโs a focus
Iโm going back to Hungary I canโt do this major shit
And it makes it easier to get oil from them in trade
I don't find it unfinished tbh as I'm enjoying the game as I have it from 2019.
I mean modern day paradox games
As I have 2261 hours also.
Oh, ok.
Itโs not 5 billion to 1 so 1/10
Most of their newer games are games set up for DLCs
d. 500 ๐
I have 1600
I have 2,600
Nice.
I did 1 coloborattion on belgium and 2 on france
Also ignore how I am barley using factories I just take the beneluxe and france
1255
Nice.
my first airlion
i hope stalin has a nightmare and shits the bed
factions are definitely not fixed still because why tf would the soviets ever accept the PRC into their alliance while the germans are invading in the west and mao is already losing
Good luck in the Battle of London.
they sent a bit of troops lmao
my cas is letting me hold
im doing like 60 cas whenever they attack
I see.
I suggest to send in the Panzer Division. @warped flint
Like the 6th Panzer Division and so on.
Got the southern uk
Nice.
In what year you are in our run ches? Just for know.
1941
As you are doing Operation Seelรถwe.
Well
I was about to
but I was justiflying on small countries to get them for free
and sweden somehow counted as a major
and it took me to long to cap t hem
and the us got in
why am i building infrastructure in a state i dont control
en โช ment
hello all yalls wassup
this is not John f Kennedy
You're just a really good friend
Well in reality you control it as East Prussia during WW2 was a German Territory from Century, I mean from the Prussian Empire.
Juan F Kennedy
WAIT A SECOND
HEY
WE HAVE RHE SAME PFP
WTF
They're poland
ye
no
i hope the next new dlc expansion adds Fleet carriers
and other SPs
Wait Dimko is playing as Poland or Germany?
I just said they're playing as poland
I have played till 1960 to see the tษmu version of him
someone reply to this
like a NEW SP would be: MBT tanks
