no
i mean a actual dlc expansion like NCNS
How you can give 0/10 if it's not even out???
Send 2 3 years tasmania forget
I just know.
Oh, ok, what I know is that seatenders planes are coming.
Ok, I see.
yes ik
@tawdry nebula i found the special projects folder
in the future ill add more SPs
Nice.
only land and naval projects ill add to my hoi4 multi mod aswell as air projects
Send 2-3 years dagestan and forget
@tawdry nebula
i already have enough and good ideas for more SPs
Like?
like: MBTs new afvs ifvs and apcs and ships like fleet carriers etc
and new aircraft
and new tanks
@tawdry nebula
There aren't really MBT in game, but I see.
alr
But yeah it's a nice idea markomrm24.
thx gamer
ill add SPs all the way from 1900 till 2026
Buy a division? What do you mean??
this seems to presume the trizone existed in 1945
Yeah, correct.
@tawdry nebula whatcu think of this?
It's nice, if you need to do a lot of research.
As for example Germany for sure it wouldn't had stop to the P.1000 Ratte.
alr
cold war gonna go crazy
thx gamer
all of these NEW SPs will be avaliable to ALL nations
You are welcome.
and please either call me Marko or just MRM
I have plan to do that in my run as Japan, but against Germany.
I will.
@tawdry nebula
took down soviets
dont even get their land wtf
Did you do the Peace Treaty?
ill add the MAUS SUPER HEAVY TANK as a new SP
which also unlocks the SUPER HEAVY TANK unit
ill add the P1000 RATTE Aswell
and the German E series of tanks
The Entwicklung series (from German Entwicklung lit. 'development'), more commonly known as the E-Series, was a late-World War II attempt by Nazi Germany to produce a standardised series of tank designs. There were to be standard designs in five different weight classes (E-10, E-25, E-50, E-75 and E-100) from which several specialised variants...
basically these
@tawdry nebula
they will unlock new tank armored units
yes
i legit got like so little pooints
this is so unfair
I see, if tbh those aren't really Special Project as they are evolution of real tanks, E-75 is also know as the Tiger III, E-50 a evolution of the Panther and Panther II that use a 88mm main gun while the E-100 is a side tank to the Porsche Maus.
Oh, well you need to better as the AI helped more then you it seem.
alr
ill still add em in
becus i can
without these SP techs i wont win ww2
as ESTONIA
nice thx
i will also add nuclear carriers
and super carriers aswell
they are better than normal CVs
And E-100.
Like WAY BETTER
thx gamer
You are welcome.
whatcu think of my new carrier ideas?
ill also add lhds lhas lpds lsts lcms lcus
and lvts amtracs aavs efvs and amtanks
It's nice.
alr thx
i will become a SUPERPOWER as ESTONIA
once ive researched ALL of the NEW SPs
ill also add jet bombers and jet cas
and transport cargo and attack helis aircraft and planes
and many new weapons guns and firearms
@tawdry nebula
Chinese Russia? What is that.
i figured a buffer state would be preferable to germany taking all the land
one of the SP weapon gun and firearm idea i have is these 2: MKB42s and STG44s
anyway, treaty ports, tibet and south Sakhalin await ig
there will a LOT of prototype SPs aswell @tawdry nebula
like from land naval and air SPs
like me262
and new other carrier types like light and large
and medium and heavy CVs
and super heavy and mega carriers
and new SP tanks and vehicles
@tawdry nebula
I see tibet
Please avoid posting modern politicans, even if its from a mod
wang jingwei respects tibetan soverignty (i cbf rn)
Sounds fair enough
Hey Teto obsession.
i legit did most of the work
Ok, but did you check if the AI had like 85% of contribution to the war during the war?
I mean like it show in here. @manic iris
That 92% and 64% of China.
i had like 20 % but i coulld swear every single like battle was in my name
i did all the work
and still
all im left with
And you allies what they had?
like 10% more
there was a lot of us
but little of them helped
I see.
That's what change the peace treaty.
When the allies have more war contribution then you.
what happends if i attack austria hungary thats guartendeed by italy ( my ally)
They will declare war on you.
italy?
If Italy is in your faction, Italy won't attack you.
yea im in allies with them
Then you're safe.
Yep.
That's not always true.
They can declare war on you in my experience.
They would have to leave the faction.
Unless the AI changed, they don't do that.
I see.
Maybe there is a special event I don't know about.
Bigger mods got tons of them.
Yeah.
They literally cannot lol
Unless they leave your faction and declare immediately after
They cannot while they're in your faction
Alright, I see.
thats a first time i gues the USA missed me soo much they turned japan unto the philippines but other side with no sun or stars
which one is that
do you want to cheese
sure
tanks with high hp and field hosps, either overwhelming or no air (you have to have greatly posittive trades) if you want to do it legit
also either early or late war
late war allows better hosps and stuff
navy genuinely sucks bro I am doing everything right and it won’t work
exercise them
it's 39 start
i think (at least when i played) the manpower loss is checked only once per month
so go fast and capitulate them before the 31st of a month
How
click ship
click button with gear
aight ill try that
if that dont work ill do legiit
with new doctrine system surperior fire power looks very strong
blatant plagiarism
is surperior fire power better than gbp
who are you playing
idk maybe they're left over from the great war or a focus gave you them or something (more likely)
your divisions might've started with them and they got phased out
for the most part
although the starting bonus on gbp is def better
you need full mastery on branches to get the sfp bonus
why doesn't defend states or fallback line work in volunteers
I love Palantir, W Blackrock, God bless Lockheed Martin, Ice is doing a phenomenal job, and all hail our supreme leader Benjamin Netanyahu
Ok napoleon. But did they ever reach near moscow
ragebait used to be believable

HEHE the british arent passing through this Irish maginot line
not as good but enough
Nice.
Yeah.
It's called lend lease.
Rightclick the nation and lend lease.
You'll need some world tension tho.
Hey i dont wanna brag guys, but I've got a pretty big pp
i mean i've got a pretty big amount of pp
3.6 while doing a focus lol
in 1937 october
I can get even more pp, but that's more endgame
I can infiltratemaxx the Chinermen
then declare and boom capitulation
if i do before Japan takes Shanghai, i'll get to take all the land in peacedeal muahahahaha
farming social credits out here don't mind me
I can do 4 infiltrations at once with this build forever
(it's actually 3.6 but if u saved a lil pp you can keep on doing 4 at once)
Me being ireland
lol
omg
wait
it's even more OP than i thought
I'm the owner not controller hahahah
finally
i should've infiltrated entire china since it doesnt matter
northern ireland is mine
hello yalls
Hello all you.
Hi
euh 1938, i'm the owner of the red lands so i dont even need to take that
the rest is core
and japan didnt get the puppet
let's see if i can unify china before 1939
okey so TLDR
Japan got seperate Hebei Annexation??
You should declare on Sinkiang if you want that too
stronger industry than the japanese💪
Damn
uh what the hell, since Japan isn't fascist yet, the puppeted China is the actual KMT
So i can still infiltrate lol
what Special projects are good to use?
flame tank, S tier
super heavy howitzer is really good if you do inf only/special forces
armored engineering vehicles are good too, but not essential
cruiser subs are very good
ahechoic tiles are good too, if you have enough rubber
Super heavy battleship is a must-have for multiplayer navy
jet engines obviously
nukes are fun
why does HOI4 say: no available land routes to this province when they can just ride a boat
what part of land road do you need explained ?
for some reason I thought it was a good idea to send a almost fully tank attack to siberia 🥀
it is, if you have fuel in those divs though
Land route. Is going by boat a land route?
How do you see the paths in TFR?
Litteraly gained 12 divisions from the Sinkiang war
(infiltration)
bruh i cant even declare on Japan cuz the U.K. will guarantee them 😂 😭
i do like the way GDR added SPs
Fk it we ball
Just do it
U need Hong Kong anyway
i hope we get more in future SPs in future dlcs expansions
I almost feel like doing the completely shizo act of invading the ussr
Not a bad idea
Just painfully slow
all the advisors mao and the gueralla doctrine with mass charge and the 90% equipment capture ratio will mean:
I don't attrition
If I do I don't lose anything
I somehow manage to grab every gun the USSR leaves on the battlefield
Somehow infiltrates the entire Chinese state by 1938
Gets most of China in peacedeal before 1939
men don't eat
men don't need guns,
men don't attrition
litteral CCP zerg robots that spawn guns
declares war on USSR
profit?
meanwhile just infiltrating the KMT, so that if Japan declares when
they're fascist I've only gotta hold ports and the bumfuck mountainous north
why didn't mao do this in rl?
Because probably it wasn't worth ruin the reputation with Stalin?
And get sended into a Gulag?
The joke:
How Mao could've won sooner
don't ally with the nationalists
take over China by yourself
ally with the Japanese against chiang
What do you mean?
smh why didn't mao do this irl
You didn't get the joke. He was making a joke.
I'm not going to explain it
fr fr
wanna see what Stalin should have done irl too?
Don't ignore the Intel?
Zurge rush Finland
Ignore the Japanese. Oh wait he did do that
Do I see puppets?
Smh
^mistakes were made by the GER
Clearly not meta gaming hard enough
yes it was just a troll game
Oh, ok.
best hoi4 division in existance
4.0 K/D against germany with the USSR debuffs
while battleplanning
with a spearhead instead
under one general so no stat bonusses
useless signal 😭
while attritioning because the network cant supply 6.6 million men
bruh
you could get super heavy howitzer or medium flame tank in there
Armored engi when you're attacking?
Why not assault
You clearly weren't defending
Nah signal is fine
Almost mandatory
not in singleplayer
in MP, sure, it's very important but in SP ai has so little stats, it's basically a waste
Reinforce rate still good
This is like saying, back when mass mob was a thing, that it was unnecessary because u didn't need reinforce rate because AI is so shit. Like, no? It's still good
How do i fix it 🥀
I can’t declare war on Mexico as fascist USA.. why’s is this
What does it say?
Do u have a war goal
Need caused world tension above 25
Well there u go
U need World tension
Reading is hard.
World tension is at 100
How much have you caused?
Idk how do you check that
Hover over World tension
Chat
Oh wait just go into your faction tab and remove the rule that prevents you from declaring war
Signals are meta in current update
Why is Afghanistan's all focuses trying to fucck its stability over
It's some where in there
If i gain some factory output, i lose like 10% stability
in MP
it's not needed in SP because AI has no stats
look at the totally historical irish colony of dunkerque
@snow rain
Not entirely correct
Read what I said
Nothing is needed in sp tho such as super heavy howizters or flame tanks
Signal is still good
Same argument too
It's still wrong
Arguing about "necessity" in sp is kinda pointless because if you go that route, everything is kinda pointless?
You can win without any of that
Doesn't mean that those things are bad
That’s what I’m saying
Nothing is “needed” in sp but it still helps ofc
We should focus more on what's good and what isn't
Not what's "necessary"
Because that's a very arbitrary measurement
Germania rules the waves
don't have much time to argue about it but signal isn't required in singleplayer simply because, wheter you do bricks or meatwall, you won't get memed
that's because AI has no stats, so they can't knock you out fast enough. In the meantime, having more stats paired with coordination from GBP allows you to straight up smite the AI divs that attack
Signal is good, but it's overkill against AI and generally a waste of a lot of IC that could be used elsewhere. There's almst certainly a company you can use with better endgoal
I can say that AI can and will meme you. Depends on how bad the situation is. Again, necessity assumes a lot of things. If everything is going well, you don't need it. But it's not always going well. In general, signals aren't a bad pick
Like, if you have green air, and assume you always do, you don't need any support but you obviously don't always have green air
So I want to judge things on a case by case basis
Knocking someone for using signals is kinda dumb
to be fair, I just talked in MP. He's overstacking divs that have thus no supply and is trying to take advantage of the mass charge from mass assault
to get divs in faster when combat width increases
that's not a good use of it imo
The Mass Charge is the one the Soviet Union used during WW2 right? I mean the infinite wave of T-34 and so on?
I mean, not really, of course battleplanning is wasteful but it is fast
So it's not really a bad use?
They retreated afaik
Like do you have a method of winning faster than the battleplan
And waited for the winter to save em
ill do it tommorow
Don't infer reality from hoi
Please Dont do that
the soviets did not use human wave tactics in ww2
It's not pertinent if the "mass charge" tactic was employed as actual doctrine by the Soviets. It is just a tactic in the game.
Officially, the Soviet doctrine was "deep battle" not related to the one in game
We don't know if "mass charge" was part of it
@eternal palm so in two words rt56 nonhist
Skill issue
2 words 💀
I meant more during the attack in the Eastern Front.
attack
It was called deep battle
Alright, I'm just associating history.
ye soviets intervention into my civil war
I see.
Yea don't. Please.
Why?
nah
Because hoi is extremely unrealistic and borderline rewrites history if you take anything at face value
It's not of any educational value to history. It might spark an interest in history but it does not teach history
I see.
Well I honestly love history from years, but I like create alternative timeline a part keep reading things of History tbh CreepAgeDE.
in the soviet deep battle doctrine, the soviets relied on using powerful tanks to break through the enemy lines, with air and artillery support, then use the infantry to clear up any remaining enemies. the primary difference between deep battle and blitzkrieg is that the soviets aimed to breakthrough in several places, disrupt communications, destroy the disorganized enemy, and continue advancing all simoultaneously. this left no room for the enemy to reorganize, and destroyed large amounts of troops without attempting encirclement, which can be risky
Like it happened in Stalingrad?
With the 6th Army of the Wehrmacht.
Yea no. Not a fan of fan fiction. And do bear in mind, alt history is just fanfiction. Harmless at best and borderline fantasy at worst
So no, not a fan
I see.
Saying hoi4 doesn’t teach any history at all is unfair
deep battle was only partially used in stalingrad. the best examples are from operation bagration and the vistual oder offensive
It doesn't. As I said, it sparks an interest, it does not teach anything beyond extremely basic knowledge
No not even that
Oh, ok I see.
Because it is so inaccurate, you'd need to read up on it to even get a picture of reality
I honestly read full page of Wikipedia and also some books of WW2.
Yea man, Wikipedia 🤦♂️
wikipedia is highly reliable
What a great source for academic knowledge
I don't read there only.
the wikipedia moderators get a notification whenever theres a new edit
Good.
I have at home a book with all the Strategy the US Army used during WW2 against the Japan Empire.
unexpected alt hist clutch from russia
vandals keep tryna turn the page for nothing into literally nothing
ever notice how russia doesnt have a democratic path?
How do i raise war support 🥀
For example I still have open this page that I'm still reading of the Unryu-Class Aircraft Carrier of the IJN.
https://naval-encyclopedia.com/ww2/japan/unryu-class-aircraft-carriers.php
justify war goals then cancel them at the last second
not world tension
21% war support , 15% world tension
They betrayed me
we all know that it was actually the soviet invasion of manchuria that made japan surrender
at that point japan was only in the war to keep some of its colonies
the soviet entry into the war destroyed any hopes of keeping any colonies
Yeah, true.
Fahh
with that political power just make war goals
then cancel them
easy world tension
But yeah WW2 and Cold War era is my favourite subject to keep studing of History timmy tuff knuckles.
world tension speedrun any %
WAR SUPPORT
world tension raises war support
world tension raises war support
No it’s teaches basic knowledge, it teaches you about the Anschluss, Munich conference, Winter/continuation war, etc it’s also great for teaching borders (not 100% perfect) but teaches what you need to know
well if you have better alternatives, use them
Yeah, if I like to go more in depth tbh HazzLaz.
Extremely basic and is widely inaccurate in some areas
Like reading about Kriegsmarine Plan Z, Operation Citadel and so on.
At this point, why am i even fascists 🥀
So, yes basic. Thats not any good or really useful
REVENGE
Can't even switch off of the worst eco law
what alternative do you have?
My blood boils every time hoi players laugh at the supposed ineffectiveness of the maginot line
Basic is good for a large chunk of people who play who haven’t heard/have no knowledge on anything about the time
I hope they naval invade you lil bro 🥀
I agree.
OK maybe that's due to me being German, so I'd find it hard to find someone that doesn't know about this particular period so sure
Fine
Maginot line served it’s purpose it made Germany fight in Belgium instead of France issue was with the French high command less than the army tbh although it still had its issues such as radios
why offended ?
See that's what I wanna hear
Not "haha they went around lmaooo"
THAT WAS THE FKING POINT
The French high command just fumbled hard
Yeah there's no way to raise war support, fucck me
Thing is tho that’s not paradox’s fault
And the CIC just fking died of a hard attack mid battle
And French command structure was really convoluted and I could go on and on
It was not due to the maginot line that France fell
It's because France thought that Germany would end like in WW1 as they failed and never listened to Charles de Gaulle warning.
Oh yea the great Charles de Gaulle predicted everything
No it's not due that entirely
It's not that simple
Nothing is
It's like 1200 reasons
I know, but it's what I had read years ago.
Is that the only thing the book said lol?
Oh they didn't listen to Charles de Gaulle that's why they lost
Lmao
Sure
beautiful
It's one of the thing I remeber I had read.
When's a focus for Mongolia, Tanu Tuva, Tibet ?
Doubt they will get a focus any time soon I would just recommend you use a mod like rt56 or smth for those
Theres probably a rework mod for those
USA/Commonwealth Nations need a focus, Northern Ireland, Hawaii, all the Pacific islands, Ireland, so of the islands near UK (Isle Of Man,...), Brittany, Wales, Scotland, England if it fragments
USA has one, commonwealth is getting a rework
Yay more irrelevant countries in a dlc worth $20
We need every single HRE principality in the game
YaaaY
There's alot of countries that haven't had a update in a long time and another didnt even get a update
Portugal and Spain would love to see a new focus tree (maybe I'm a little biased because I'm
Portuguese)
The portugal and Spanish trees are good though no
Maybe not a entirely new focus tree but just a rework/add some focuses like they did to Manchu
Spain had this
Spains tree is pretty bad I’m ngl, Portugal is decent tho
For the falangist path
Nah Spain tree is fine
If you go Republican you have like no content
I just don't get why you have to core your own territory
Which leads to all sorts of bugs
I hated that so much
Yea but theres always bad paths
how much stab can i lose as france before commies rise up
You need to be above 50%
or can i get rid of it with banning the leagues
Probably supposed to represent remaining Guerillas/opposition my knowledge on Spain after the civil war isn’t strong so I could be wrong here but that’s my guess
i am at 22% and wanna send volunteers to spain
Portugal had much more political parties and movements during that period
First of all, go national bloc
itll be a -20%
Should be easier for gameplay tho
Popular front is ass
its hist
So
U will explode
I’m pretty sure
its historical
Again, so what
It’s 25% btw
You're still democratic
i didnt kno
is this good?
Put your fleet on patrol for +10% stab and click improved workers conditions
I THOUGHT LEFT WAS THE HIST PATH
There was a planned operation by the US to invade Azores
Hist path is popular front, but any mp hist games will allow you to go national bloc
It technically is. But right side doesn't make you not democratic
And right side is simply better
ye but now i see left forces me to be commie
No you don’t with popular front as long as you don’t go down the Commie branch
@radiant cloud dont leave midgame without saying nothing please.
so i go right of this?
Go reform the labour laws
As long as you don’t do invite communists ministers your fine
And keep stab above 25%
Also you want to go for strengthen government then the focus below that to remove disjointed or you go down further below labour laws to get Aton of industry
what if i wanna send vols to spain
also cant i just trigger a civil war to get rid of disjointed gov quick
Put your fleet on patrol and click improved workers to get high stab
Idk i went commie france in rt56
I’m p sure the civil war gives you a really bad debuff after
all of it or just the pride of fleet?
Its a majof waiting game
All of it apart from subs and split into any seazones that’s next to a core state max you get out of this is 10% you’ll see core costal states if you hover over stability
PORTUGAL POLITICAL PARTIES
Portugal had this political parties that i think that aren't ingame
DEMOCRATIC
MUD
LDR
COMMUNIST
US
NON ALIGNED
CCP
UIE
FASCIST
CNNA
each country has 4 parties
1 for aech ideology
yooo
Nice remember Corsica is a core state as well so make sure to cover that sea zone
Also this works on any country
Yes, but depending on the country it could be completely different or very similar
It’s only core states
And it’s always max 10%
MB i got banned
i think armored has better terrain stats
What the fk 💀
Only when defending
also 32width militia with mao build have perfect supply without trucks/trains/supply hubs
Not when attacking
the infrastructure of SIBERIA is enough for these guys
POV the infrastructure in question:
Just tried 6 mountaineers, 6 infantry, 6 SPGs, crazy strong division
Any other weird meta changes in ncns? (Sp)
infantry monke build
I keep seeing people put the radio support company now never seen that until ncns
for SP just spam armored cars after upgrading their speed to 25km/h
40 width armored cars slap
Armoured cars are good now?
like enemy has no chance you overrun everything
nah still poop but their speed makes them an insane cheese strat
So a handful of standard tank divs or mountaineers divs to push, flood the gap with armoured cars
Ye because reinforce rate is rare now since mass mob is gone
It was good even before
If you're so inclined
It's not any good though
U could just battleplan and win faster
I usually just do spgs mixed with motorised or the 6/6/6 mountaineer/infantry/spg thing
Kinda cursed and border line unecessary
Just replace the mountaineers and inf with rangers
Much better
CNNA is more conservative and MNA is for fascist, UN was the Estado Novo political party and conservative, CCP was more clerical, UIE was more economic based, PCP was and is the communist Portuguese party, US was more Democratic Socialist, MUNAF only wanted democracy, MUD wanted democracy but it was socialist, LDR also wanted democracy but it was libertarian
Mfw a game doesnt have accurate political parties 🤯
Kinda not the point of the game?
It's not a polsim
I usually fight in mountains like balkan near greece so mountaineers are needed to an extent
Eh sure
But why are you making tanks then
I researched not saying it must have all period political parties
Just make mountaineers
Oh good
In my experience it’s one of the easiest divs to make as a minor that allows you to greatly reduce losses, so it’s good for small countries with limited manpower and industry
Spgs aren't easy as a minor
Tanks are kinda more expensive than guns
Cause SPGs melt everything very easily
I'm saying you could send less and get the same result
The political parties besides the ones in the game arent that spicy
I disagree, unless we’re talking micro nation
It’s quite easy to spg max by 1938 as sweden, greece, romania, portugal, siam
It's easier to just make guns though
And you get the same result
Spgs aren't required
It’s pretty hard to not get to 0 manpower because of losses if you only make guns as minors imo, it requires much more careful combat, spgs aren’t necessary but they’re probably the most broken division in ncns sp at least from what i’ve seen
Field hospitals>>>>>
And go desperate defense I guess
Wbat
Unless you’re playing aussa
You're complaining about manpower
But say that desperate defense isn't worth it
Yea no wonder
It’s a less effective solution than my solution
It really isn't
I disagree
I know
Idk if there are any other formable nations with Portugal besides: Iberia, Fifth Empire, Portuguese Empire, Kingdom Of Portugal And Brazil, probably
SPGs are just much easier to use
Isn’t there a communist one?
Probably, I don't remember havent played in a long time
Last DLC i had was the South America one, so I'm 3 DLCs behind
they literally aren't
microing on 3 speed for 3 hours is not faster than battleplaning
even if you were winning faster in game time it ain't worth it, and you're not even doing that
I’ve never microd my spgs i just put them on the front line with some infantry and do general offensive plan, on regular difficulty that beats almost anything without much issue the only time I can remember where it didn’t was in poor supply desert and right after a naval invasion when I hadn’t gotten more than one port
Is the allowtraits command really cheating?
Fought both axis and allies simultaneously with SPGs as a minor, wasn’t that hard, and I’m not very good at hoi4, so for me SPGs seem very good in ncns
yeah that's not better than having strong infantry then
Well yeah but you can define what is and isn’t cheating in sp, some say paratrooper cheesing is cheating, for me I’ll do anything but console commands and not call it cheating
unless you have literally endless industry and no manpower
opening the console = cheating
no matter what you do there
I haven’t been able to pull that off as a minor without much manpower, it’s probably possible but I imagine it’s harder to figure that out
its not that hard
just use good divisions and get gun 3
I always delete the weird units I don’t want as Italy, just looks cleaner
gun 3 is huge
When can you realistically get gun 3? Isn’t that quite late?
gun 2 is ×1.5 the atk of gun 1 and gun 3 is ×1.33 the atk of gun 2
gun 3 early ❤️
its a massive difference
Gun 3 is 1942 tech right?
you can get it way earlier
So if you rush it you could probably have it by 1940
And then u need to produce it
Still slower than spgs i think, both allies and axis capped at end of 1939 with spgs as greece, waiting for gun 3 I don’t think I could do it that quickly
i mean gun 2 compared to gun 1 is also big ofc you aren't expected to have gun 3 in 1938
Never made any infantry other than 18w for general purpose and 12w for port garrison, unsure what a good all infantry template is
Nice, but the warlord in the north isn’t it better to let them get capitulated before you attack?
Wich?
Is that not the weird clique thing? Maybe its sth else
The little brown
Oh its japan, why is japan brown
guys i think i'll stick with asking for division templates to this server cuz chat gpt suggested 9 inf / 4 art 😭 and uh yeah so im wondering what division template to use for the achievement to occupy moscow as monarchist france :3
well. that explains. 36w is the width you want for any offensive unit
Ah, is that historical? Never seen it
Idk how I would spare the manpower as like greece unless I’m Switzerland and field hospital maxxing with their weird bonuses
which path of greece
and desperate defense is huge
fellas what division template is the best for infantry offensive and defensive
5% manpower instantly is insane
36w, 16w
dont use AC unless you know what youre doing lol
Byzantium fascist I usually do, if venezelos is alive for a while u can pretty much cap allies and axis before 1940, once you get turkey cored you have a bit of manpower but it’s still not much
The 6/6/6 mountaineer infantry spg works well allowing you to push balkan mountains without much issue, maybe infantry could work as well but im still worried abt manpower cause even with only high hardness divisions for offensive u run out of it easily
are you trying to save manpower?
theres only so much you can do but just dont overinvest in all units and focus on your offensive divs more
having low manpower means you have more IC per manpower to spend (industrial capacity)
if both are low you have to cope and do a special forces build which saves some manpower but not as much as tanks/air
I use 12w inf to hold the line if I invest any less the line crumbles
I only upgrade to 18w when I got balkan cores
Cause then I can handle it
But thats late game like 1941
No it just makes them less likely to get caught in said country
Which is why u typically do local recruitment to get soviet born spies in ussr so they don’t get caught instantly
Same with china u do local recruitment and get japanese spies
12w is fine yeah
well
you shouldnt be fighting strong enemies
you could go lower, but smaller units always take more casualties so whatever
Both axis and allies are conquerable without much difficulty as a minor in 1939, idk when they get better but I think it’s around 1940-41 for germany and 1941-1942 for allies
Lublin is a ghost town.
Even then it’s mostly just a manpower issue it’s not like they ever get good divs they just have too many of them
ai civgreeds
germany stays bad because MEFO punishes civgreed and theyre on dispersed but they have the best ai designs on average
other "good" ai designs are uk/italian air somewhat
Is there ever any reason to build civs in sp other than like a handful
I feel like most focus trees give enough civs, sometimes too many civs so I end up swapping them to mills when building slots are full
I'm friends with the Chinese
Conquered most states required for Mongol Empire
Russia is cooked because it's after a civil war and getting invaded by Japan (I'll backstab them)
Manchukuo is planning to backstab Japan (I'll backstab them too)
It is good day to be Mengkukuo
depends on nation
but for like regular gameplay ending before the 1950s yeah you have plenty
how i feel buying more hoi4 dlcs even tho i've never won ww2 in the game and suck ass
Thousand euros for rage quit
def real
i've prolly spent 100+ euros in total on the base game and dlcs just to struggle pushing trough the benelux at 170h playtime
how do i get to canada
fight the usa
the hitler portraits in my game are blacked out even though im pretty sure i didnt download the german version how do i fix this 😭
but i feel like usa will devour my cheeks
change his portrait
theyre getting stronger if u leave them alone
how do i do this
attack and try to cap him fast as possible before they wake uo
is there no way to do it without any mods 😭
idk
🥹
they're so hard to fight in 1943 they Devorme
ur cooked
is the Götterdämmerung austriahungary path something i should do as a guy with 170h in game but i still suck ass?
do I did in 50 hours
they're so op
don't forget to defend ur army high command
don't let Nazis get anything in government
or they will kill him
should i play historical or unhistorical for the best results
tasty
unhistorical is hell
also should i just use infantry or what divisions should i use?
Why must I suffer. China. die...
🥹
my biggest ever encirclement
space Marines are little bit op tbh and get some motorized when going offensive
nice
is this the part of the tree that will take me down to austriahungary?
yes
ts was in a vanillia normal game dawg tf
LATVIA LIVES
idk how im leaving the allies
uh oh
how do yall usually employ your free mils in the 1936 germany?
how do i get those
a strat bomber?
if im going austriahungarian austria, should i leave the league of nations by not embargoing italy?
I am loving it
ngl Philippines leader manuel quezon kinda looks like the stein
chat when is q2
which one do i research for intercontinental bomber
a navy
and 10 strategic
About 3 minutes ago

😭
What can I do with this thing
Its doesn't answer comands
iirc you gotta get improved large airframe first before you can see it
how do i get that
It's either
You can get 20 Strat bombers OR 20 intercontinental bombers
For strat bombers you just need the large airframe and put bomb bays on it
For intercontinental I think you need to research better airframes and maybe get jet engines but I'm not sure
@frail meteor Hi! How are you!
Infantry and if you can afford it tanks
Please dont post images including nazi imagery, including in game mods
Why allies
nuclear subs
you better be going ottomans
@leaden oyster
i legit cant
bro messed up the confusing decisions 🥀
collapsing world has either the ottoman goverment in istanbul (which doesnt have content)
constantinople
or the turkish national movement
here its called istanbul
no
I always invade like that as Japan for some reason. Getting the entire Army over isnt possible most of the time.
thank you
also if you have a few spare battleships dont forget to put them on shore bombardment
returning
oh yea right
thanks
last thing
can teh french navy beat the uk onw?
exactly
it can always beat the british navy if you dont go into a carrier death stack
yeah just dont try to slug it out with the home fleet
it does indeed have hands still
its about similar to how you use the south american navy
(once you have united it all)
the south american navy lacks carriers
yeah thats fine
and the battleships are not good
the battleships are fine
the issue with france is that you're so close they can take all the home fleets to attack your one meatball
south america doesnt have to worry about that
is there a way to drag the royal navy away from the channel
cause i need to invade
No it's big enough
That'd work fine, the thing is amphibious bonus is capped at 50%
This is why you often see random other infantry or tanks in marine templates
anybody able to guide me?
rate my borders
Is there a specific channel to report presumably unintended in-game occurrences?
Here would be okay too
is that only shown in battle cause i know on the tooltip ive seen 80% before
You deal with it
bug reports are mostly PDX forums
theres no channel here other than immediate - non coding help
unless youre modding of course
Just realized you can’t make peace in this game
I may have declared war on nation wasn’t ready for
Ukraine is pretty fun, and the anti Hetman path is pretty challenging
i will give it a try
i avoided ukraine cuz it seemed pretty complicated lol
but now i think it's the best time to give a shot
Alright
lithuania taken with 1k too
That’s actually a really interesting take to have no peace option only victory or surrender
Kinda wanna play more now
yeah and you'll end up playing navy
not so nice when britain guarantees Lithuania 😢
@split bane i got social democracy out of the hetman rev
yo how do you take estonia
actually nvm
ik how to do it now
i get a full army if I take latvia for latvians
push parnu, then once its captured just rush narva and tallinn
encircling rest of their army but that doesn't matter because when tallin and narva falls, they'll cap
i might go for it to prog my subdoctrines
gonna forever be bombed now
a certain salesman might say "Now's your chance..."
oh wait you dont get cores on soviet belarus
a certain salesman also aknowledges that he doesn't have the army for it
fair
but neither might the soviets
oh yes they do
if I annex a puppet do I get cores on them
look how theyre struggling against 2/3 of the little entente
no
rip\
Lil bros dont know SA?
pretty sure we do
Yeah
hmm poland in axis with us
Its Sturmabteilung
(For those who dont know, the SA(Sturmabteilung) was the Nazis' paramilitary force before the SS' ascension)
oh there ya go
unfortunate for you
now you wont get your polish belarus cores 😢
unless Poland revolts
Why my best msg got deleted? 😭😭
but you'd have to hurt poland 😭
poland deserved it ngl
sitting on their ass doing nothing whilst brave latvians died for vilnius 😠
bro germany took memel too 
Read the rules
german ai casually being slow as hell
rip?
ok
as long as your not capped you are not lost as soviet
They have factories 3/1 on me lol
just hold
it will soon be <100 mil factories
do your focus
it's expert AI
whats your infantry template
20/0
it's shit
AA+Anti tank
with Zhukov?
fix this
it's massive debuffs
also for your template
do 9 inf
with 1 artilley company, if you can afford to you can add 1 or 2 arty brigades
and of course AA company
but remove anti tank
do not use line arty
what do the Germa divisions look like
its not vanilla
idk what exactly expert ai uses but if they can't pierce them without at then its not necessarily a bad idea
its a mod
idk
not enough intel
we switched to 9inf
polish republic was lwk winning the civil war, but then russia came in, annexed 90% of their land, and they instantly capitulated to the sanationists 💀
what are you waiting for bro paris is wide open
how good are british improved light tanks
(I have a hunch that this focus only gives improved light tanks)
(considering thats the only thing its offered me so far
thechnically speaking would not paraguay be the best country in the game because u get free unlimited building?
Huh
they have an focus where the landowners choose every 240 days to add an random building + building slot
they are like super far right that the land owners choose to manage the economy
240 days is kinda slow, no?
yea but imagine in long run
Also i think states have a max of 20 building slots
idk if it continues but idk
That's like 35 buildings by 1976
yea
Which is really slow
olive the great what ur fav country to play?
It's way quicker to just conquer countries
Hungary, prolly
They're fun
but hard tho?
like what even is habsburg?
The easy path
cheeseland?
plus olive the great ngl but i find it very hard to use mech when playing an minor nation with low oil
You dont have to always use mech
But for hungary, mech can be semi-easy
nah but i mean like in general
is there anbything else that adds hardness without messing up the fuel
ecofriendly
electric cars would be useful in 1939
leningrad finally falling
wtf happened?
alla this js to get the spain own gibraltar achievement 😭
so true
u should have done anarchism path
u could core stuff
got so frustrated at lithuania being stolen from me I invaded the soviets
i mean why they turned pink?
