[azure walrus]

i havent even conquered austria yet

[serene breach]

[azure walrus]

ik

it was a joke]

referencing that mod

[unique oasis]

nvm i cooked

[azure walrus]

ive given up on getting france early through yugo, czechoislovakia is my new target

the treacherous brits better not guarantee

wait

the french guarantee dropped

when does ts guarantee drop

[sharp sierra]

i ts think 5that ts gurantee wont drop

i ts think that ts britain just ts did ts that

[iron iron]

2 achievements I want that are pretty crazy

[sharp sierra]

tsingtao

[iron iron]

Control Moscow as Napoleon IV

[azure walrus]

ts okay

[iron iron]

And and

Viva la France 😭

[azure walrus]

but ts wait, doesnt ts britain drop protecting czechoslovakia after letting germany have the sudetenland

?

[iron iron]

Does becoming Napoleon Iv make you faicst or

[azure walrus]

no

[iron iron]

What ideology

[azure walrus]

nonaligned

[iron iron]

Ok

[sharp sierra]

i think only france guarantees them but i could be wrong

[iron iron]

Only hard part abt viva pa France is axis

[sharp sierra]

i think its cause youre justifying on them

[iron iron]

Take Germany and Italy then legit wait

[iron iron]

They do

France does

Early

[azure walrus]

the french guarantee dropped

so did the romanian one

[sharp sierra]

yea but the british one isnt going anywhere

[azure walrus]

😭

reset ig

icl ts submissive ahh yugoslavia pmo

"yes italy, im sowwy, puppet me benny" ahh yugoslavia

grow a spine bro

youre the union of southern slavs

you liberated yourself almost completely w/o help

act like it

[iron iron]

how do people just melt the ussr with 60 divisions

[azure walrus]

😠

[iron iron]

Like genuinely

I can’t best then with 100000

[sharp sierra]

do u wanna have like a fun almost realistic game or do you just wanna paradrop france

[azure walrus]

uh

is it unrealistic for yugoslavia to resist italian demands when it has all of the little entente and france behind it

because if yes

[sharp sierra]

justify on them

screw doiing the focus on them

[azure walrus]

but the brits will guarantee(i will have justified on and killed austria by that point)

[sharp sierra]

why do u need austria

[azure walrus]

achievement

"nothing personal, adolf"

[sharp sierra]

well you got it now right

[azure walrus]

the achievement?

no

i also have to not join a faction with a fascist germany until 1945

[sharp sierra]

o lol

sit and build railways for the other achievement

[azure walrus]

also austria will be my core territory when I form Rome

and it denies Germany access to Austria

[iron iron]

Chat with the ussr

[azure walrus]

which slows down their progress

[iron iron]

Tell me if this stray is good

Strat

[sharp sierra]

try the france paradrop thing

[iron iron]

Pit tanks north and south (Leningrad and Stalingrad)

And have infantry go to Moscow

Put*

Cuz didn’t the moustache man do that irl

[sharp sierra]

idk

[azure walrus]

who me? alright, in my next game

[iron iron]

so is it gud or bad

Strat

Idfk

[jolly sparrow]

hey

[sharp sierra]

i think just start encircling and destroying divisions

[jolly sparrow]

what do you guys suggest a country for playing for the first time

and what tips should i know

[sharp sierra]

have you never played

[jolly sparrow]

i did couple times but not full rounds

when i get close to loss i quit lol

[sharp sierra]

in my opinion just bite the bullet and play germany till you understand most mechanics

id watch someone else play alongside your own game

like a lego instruction manual

[jolly sparrow]

i cant understand navy and air like i tried alot

[iron iron]

I

K

Tmrw I’ll try To defeat ussr

And get viva la France

Twin can’t you just turn Facist and join the axis and not the war with tha allies

Not join the war with the allies

[sharp sierra]

u could turn fascist and fight uk then usa

then germany and then soviets

annex all

[prisma saddle]

is this good?

[frigid yew]

Who are you fighting as, and what year is it?

[prisma saddle]

germany

december 36

[craggy dove]

what to do with these annoying divisions that keep popping up?

[iron iron]

No no

Yk how

You don’t have to join a war

Just join the axis so they don’t attack you

And don’t join war with Germany and Shi

Against allies

[sudden thistle]

Puppet divs

[frigid yew]

You should wait with designing planes until you have the next airframe, where you should add heavy mashine guns and engine 3s.

What you should do is research dive bombers, which gives you a 50x research bonus on small airframe, and form the jagdwaffe that gives you engines 3 for free

[craggy dove]

is there any way to stop them from popping up? I think my divs finish training but its actually those useless puppets

[sudden thistle]

No

[frigid yew]

Nope 😭

[sudden thistle]

Just delete them every now and then

[prisma saddle]

but not producing anything till i get that focus will not make me more weak?

btw thank i never saw that focus

[frigid yew]

you dont really need to make that many planes in the begining because they are still pretty bad, and when it comes to war they will just get shot down

[prisma saddle]

oh

[frigid yew]

you should focus more of your factories on tanks, and other troop things

[prisma saddle]

because i saw so much people saying how airforce is important

[frigid yew]

the early ones will get shot down is what i meant

[frigid yew]

it is

but its better to wait and have good

than rush and make shit

[heavy vigil]

hi christigpa

[prisma saddle]

alr

ill make more quality vs quantity

[worn coral]

guys

i cant make an army after loading a save

i have 500 divisions

i cant do it without an army group

[quasi osprey]

is this a good run as lithuania?(white ruthenia and karelia are my puppets)

[chrome lodge]

someone kaiserredux?

[flint wyvern]

No

[quasi osprey]

what should I take over next then?

[craggy dove]

Germany controls your core state - Memel. Id say jobs not finished yet

[quasi osprey]

It will have to wait for now

I am in no shape to fight germany yet

[craggy dove]

yeahh, looking at the map it would be tough to defeat them

id even say impossible unless you play until 1950

depends if Allies lock in

[quasi osprey]

Although looking at the map I see some sneaky oportunities to betray germany

[quasi osprey]

in some areas they have

[quasi osprey]

they landed in greece with lots of troops and will probably connect with allied turkey

they also landed in sicily

[quasi osprey]

if I declare war on the germans will my puppets automatically join or they will be neutral which will severly shorten my borders with germany

[craggy dove]

neutral

how are you gonna leave axis though?

[quasi osprey]

yay

[craggy dove]

arent you at war with allies?

[quasi osprey]

I am thinking of flipping ideology

will that stop the war?

[craggy dove]

idk. Possibly if you cause a civil war and win with the side thats not in war

im not sure

[quasi osprey]

I can try I am not on ironman so I can make a save and try it

I can try going down this path

[silver eagle]

(btw not mine)

[quasi osprey]

look at the ammount of puppets I think for lithuania thats quite a considerable amount

[craggy dove]

why cant I create Reichskommissariat Niederlande? They are my puppet one step before annexation

[sudden thistle]

When hoi4

[sudden thistle]

They already exist

Kinda

[craggy dove]

so I need to annex them again? I want a beautiful grey/black world conquest

[sudden thistle]

Yes

[craggy dove]

i could form iberia and balkan, but maybe that because that formable consisted of many nations

[heavy vigil]

yesterday

[sudden thistle]

U gotta convince the other people to play commanders

It’s so peak

[quasi osprey]

yay I finally fixed my lithuanian industry

[dark spindle]

i didnt know she was in the game

[quasi osprey]

my painful struggle with the industry will finally pay off

[iron iron]

Hoi4 players when you tell them to own every dlc and not be broke

By Blood Alone

[inland falcon]

her dogs are advisors

[dark spindle]

fr

[inland falcon]

we corgi the flame

[lethal ether]

they should integrate some into the base game

like no step back, arms against tyrrany, la resistance

[inland falcon]

you're not gonna believe this...

[lethal ether]

some are

but they should integrate more

[inland falcon]

ehhh

[lethal ether]

you shouldnt need to pay to design a tank gang 💔 🥀

[inland falcon]

AAT wasn't even that long ago

[iron iron]

How do I get these things

[opal nymph]

By Blood Alone

[iron iron]

Thank you

besides, i feel like older fans already feel pissed enough about not getting compensated for old DLCs and new content

for some reason I thought this wouldnt work

[cursive oxide]

Wait what

Yo mods he hacking fr fr

[warped flint]

no im not

[fickle cove]

guys why isn't it working? basically i'm trying to do paradrop invasions with some units

there are transport planes in the province

but it says there aren't

why?

[cursive oxide]

Send screenshot

[warped flint]

how many do you have

[azure walrus]

division template

[fickle cove]

and yes it worked when i used the paratrooper trick on france

and here's what it says when i try to make paratrooper plans

[raw inlet]

just tried a china game and it deadass feels impossible

japan still comes super early before I can consolidate or do anything to put up a fight

[snow rain]

you have 80 transports
you need 50 per div on the same order
with 6 divs assigned to a single order, you'd need 300 transports to drop
if you were to divide it into 6 orders of 1 paratrooper, you'll need 50 transports but would only be able to drop every 6 hrs iirc

[azure walrus]

aaand the unionist revolt fails

[cursive oxide]

You see that red ?

[fickle cove]

ik that's how it works but i can't even do with one unit

[fickle cove]

ik what it says yes

[inland falcon]

there needs to be a thing where capitals return to where they're supposed to be after a civil war

[raw inlet]

are there any tips for a china play through to be prepared for when that happens?

[snow rain]

you also don't have air on top of your own airports

[azure walrus]

agree

[fickle cove]

OH THAT CAN EXPLAIN IT

[inland falcon]

i had an MP game where the british capital was plymouth

[fickle cove]

if you mean air superiority

[snow rain]

you need 75% air supremacy OR neutral air from the starting point to the landing area

[fickle cove]

sure but it says smth different

it says i NEED 50 transports in that province

which i have

screw it i'll try the paratrooper thing in a different air base

[patent thistle]

all hail to the death watch

[warm whale]

C'è qualche italiano?

[fickle cove]

still doesn't work

i'll try it in an air base in a core province

[azure walrus]

can someone explain what this is

second italian civil war

after mussolini crushed the communists

[eager bison]

Average Itally

no stability whatsoever

[azure walrus]

well, seemingly, "crushed" is an overstatement

considering he is mysteriously gone

and the fascist italy has the default tree

[eager bison]

I have no honest idea, it's just italy's AI. It practically ALWAYS goes into civil war at least once.

[azure walrus]

yeah but twice?

never seen it before

[eager bison]

same.

Anyway, I think I understand naval now.

[spiral breach]

Hello

[cursive oxide]

Hello

what is hard in navy bro

It was just plain confusing for me at first

But now it’s easy

should i?

Img

[azure walrus]

?

ts is me btw

[cursive oxide]

Israël and Nazi Germany teaming up

[azure walrus]

ah

yeah

[spiral breach]

someone wanna play?

[azure walrus]

i think I understand why this is happening

mussolini's gone somehow, so italy cant go for either of its other paths(culto del duce or convene the grand council)

so the communists just keep rising up

paradox, youve done it again 👍

i mean they were gored by iraq first

as evidenced by whatever that border is

but I should puppet them here right?

bc no way I have enough men to garrison allat

i think paradox should improve peacedeal ai...

they should be working on the state of their game all the time but they dont

well thats a little exaggerated

get indian manpower then you can world conquest by spamming troops

[mighty bone]

its june 41, how has the red army already entered bucharest and bulgaria

[azure walrus]

how do i get more men

i did some finaggling, left the axis, and declared war on egypt when the guarantees disappeared

yep

[short ore]

its telling me in northern france

[heavy vigil]

ethiopia has always had a pretty good army too, algeria has a large armed force

Do you guys know why axis ai is so bad recently? Im simply playing netherlands and beating the german airforce and army

Its the same in japan as well they couldnt even take shanghai

[long pendant]

basically the list we just made in that order

[leaden fjord]

yea

[long pendant]

because hitler

[leaden fjord]

your navy cna be some destroyers bc u caZnt compete with uk until u beat it and take theres

[mighty bone]

i mean the ai, its getting progressively worse each dlc

[short ore]

Only have lights

I think

[leaden fjord]

reaearch meds

mediums

[long pendant]

yeah because each dlc the game is more and more realistic

[short ore]

Its 1936 rn

[leaden fjord]

ok

[short ore]

First one is 1938

I think

[leaden fjord]

then wait till 28 or 39

[mighty bone]

its a video game realism isnt the point

[long pendant]

well yeah i meant that as in like hitler was dumb as shi when he invaded soviet union

[marble patio]

yep they won

[short ore]

Wont they be in the allies by then?

[leaden fjord]

dm

[marble patio]

is this an uncommon thing i've never seen republican spain actually win the civil war before

[short ore]

Aight

[stark rover]

he was on meth and reall high on power

[long pendant]

lol

[mighty bone]

japan ai cant even control what they have in the 1939 start date by 1940

[long pendant]

dude if the french had put forts near the netherlands and belgium as well germany would have lost

[mighty bone]

yo dawg im talking about hoi4 not the real world

[long pendant]

got sidetracked, but to answer your question btw, there and so many more mechanics added each dlc that the ai just cant keep up with simply troops

also the ai cant do anything while the game is paused

[stark rover]

na*zi germany had every opportunity to actually win ww 2 and exist till this day and be in place of usa, but they fumbled real hard on every decision after their one win. all because of hitler's stubbornness and racism (and meth)

[mighty bone]

the hoi4 ai has never been buffed no?

[long pendant]

i mean its incremental every like 2 years or smth

and usually its just to patch an exploit

[long pendant]

if hitler hadnt persecuted the jews, then hitler would have had 6 million potential troops willing to fight

[azure walrus]

if hitler hadnt persecuted the jews, then he wouldnt be hitler

[slow horizon]

Very cool first chat in here

[mighty bone]

when stalin locks in??

[long pendant]

damn ur right

[mighty bone]

i have never seen the soviet ai be so dominant

[long pendant]

which country are u?

[mighty bone]

im netherlands

[languid patrol]

cuz of new plane access feature

[mighty bone]

the soviets never even lost minsk

[languid patrol]

all of the allies planes go over soviet land

insane amount of cas and fighters

[azure walrus]

imma have to disagree with you on that one

[mighty bone]

ahhhhh

that makes more sense

i would assume the german air would be superior till 1943-44 though

[languid patrol]

3-4 major countries air against 1

[heavy vigil]

damn us ai be selling anything

[languid patrol]

historically accurate if ur playing as afganistan or iran

[long pendant]

https://tenor.com/view/thor-love-and-thunder-thor-chris-hemsworth-cute-all-the-best-gif-26016344

[terse skiff]

if hitler didn't persecute jews, communists, homosexuals, poles, soviets, roma, disabled, etc., he wouldn't be leader of the nazi party

[languid patrol]

and actually many jews did join germany army to avoid persecution

[long pendant]

yea, socialists wouldve won

[heavy vigil]

i will ask you guys to move away from this topic :>

[terse skiff]

they got kicked out of the army by 1940

[languid patrol]

if naizs didnt do nazi stuff they woudlve won

[terse skiff]

this is literally 1984

[heavy vigil]

no modern politicians, please.

[languid patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/1984-gif-19260546

[azure walrus]

maybe the off topic channel

[languid patrol]

joe is ancient 😭

[languid patrol]

joke ofc

no ban plz

[heavy vigil]

modern is anyone in office after 1945 #server-rules

[languid patrol]

just joking around

pulling ur chain

ruffeling ur feathers

[stark rover]

why is this restricted to say?

[long pendant]

FINALLY MANPOWER- oh wait it disappeared

[languid patrol]

son 😭

[terse skiff]

because it's apologia

[mighty bone]

best germany

[languid patrol]

no benelux conqured?

[terse skiff]

germany got out of versailles really fast because usa cancelled a lot of the punishment

[languid patrol]

cuz germany just didnt pay

[mighty bone]

its the bevjridign achievement run

[languid patrol]

o

[terse skiff]

not my fault that germans used all their new found money to find ways to steal from minorities

[mighty bone]

i spelled it correctly

[languid patrol]

bevrijding

[long pendant]

ger not so many troops

[languid patrol]

it means liberation

[mighty bone]

bejvirindg?

[terse skiff]

yeah and it was in usa's interest for germany to not pay

[fair horizon]

missil balistico, ngl whatever that language is is 10/10 in my book

[languid patrol]

languages like that are funny to me

[long pendant]

should i lower british to annexed?

[languid patrol]

it makes everything seem so much less threatning

[languid patrol]

what are u

[long pendant]

germany

[languid patrol]

do u already have them as a reichstaat?

[long pendant]

yea

[fair horizon]

you ever heard italian talk about anything war?

[languid patrol]

nah dont annex them

[long pendant]

alr

[mighty bone]

it seems like an error by paradox to allow nazi denmark to exist post capitulation

[languid patrol]

and then they took my gabagool

[ember vine]

Why can't I naval invade panama

[fair horizon]

carro armato = tank

[ember vine]

Why no naval dominance

[languid patrol]

spam out naval bombers

[fair horizon]

how much does the fleet give?

[long pendant]

was german denmark part of the war?

[mighty bone]

no it never joins

[languid patrol]

good strat for german

[mighty bone]

thats the problem

[ember vine]

Nothing because there are stripes outside of core mexican shores

[fair horizon]

you probably dont have enough dominance from the fleet to even get dominance because coastal defense ships are garbage

[ember vine]

Why

[fair horizon]

also coastals giving like almost less than a destroyer

[terse skiff]

it's good for ussr because that means I can justify on denmark when germany caps so only i am at war with denmark when i get the war goal and i get to own denmark all by myself

[ember vine]

I don't only have coastals

I have the entire fleet

[mighty bone]

also, post historical germany cap west germany is useless

they are forever stuck on 100% consumer goods

only soviet germany is good to puppet

[heavy vigil]

ballistic missile

[fair horizon]

this shows you how much dominance the fleet gives btw

[terse skiff]

also west germany will still have the fascism supporting increase so you're going to have a 70% fascist german puppet

[fair horizon]

iirc you need 350 for ocean zones

[mighty bone]

ur forced to always annex germany

[terse skiff]

you also need to own over 2/3 of all dominance

west germany has a lot of resources, just occupy them yourself

[ember vine]

Yes but it doesnt want to do anything at all out of mexican shores as I said

[fair horizon]

click the cog right there

that will let it use the most optimal base for doing that

[ember vine]

Ok

[fair horizon]

then it might have range

[ember vine]

Ohhh okay now it got range

Thx a lot

Now I can focus on not shitting my pants if panama joins a faction

[fair horizon]

lol

id be more worried about whoever joins their faction tbh

[knotty vortex]

whos the best balkan nation to play

[fair horizon]

greece

form byzantium

take constantinople back

[craggy dove]

how do I fix this ugly hungary?

[fair horizon]

alright so theres this button called justify war goal

takes a minute but then you can just roll over them

[craggy dove]

they my puppet

i wanted a reichskommissariat

[fair horizon]

ok so theres this button called annex if you give them enough stuff

[craggy dove]

but i gave slovenian lands to hungary

and integrated hungary into balkan

so now its shite

ig ill just have to annex

[serene breach]

nuclear albania

[azure palm]

Can anyone give me tips for defeating italy in historical as ethiopia?

[mighty bone]

how does imperial federation change with the addition of all the extra colonies for uk?

It seems like it js screws over that path

[fair horizon]

MORE

[fair horizon]

wym? the only ones that matter are the dominions

[mighty bone]

do you annex the other ones too?

haha

[stark rover]

ally with us and sit in mountains and just don't engage unless you have upgraded equipments, until they will eventually give up because of low man power or suplly

drain them

[frail cave]

Does anyone know which country gives the most non core manpower? and what path historical or ahistorical?

[trim lotus]

My first serious playthrough of Germany, and I have discovered something about Russia.

To my shock: Russia... is big.

[azure walrus]

what path

achievement run?

this achievement is cheesy + it has my name on it?

(maybe take over axis while youre at it)

(idk how ncns faction mechanics work)

[hard grove]

Bro what is this mod

Millenium Dawn is so boring 😭

[patent thistle]

the rebel alliance seeing a litteral sith that violently took over mandalore: "what a prime canidate for the alliance"

[storm forge]

Guys i achieved no life

[patent thistle]

should i actually do it 🤣

[warped flint]

more

[trim lotus]

Is the USSR declaring war on Iran part of their focus tree or something? Stalin decided to declare war on Iran when he should really be focused more on a Germany which has him 82% capitulated with no signs of slowing down..

[ripe slate]

Yes

[fair horizon]

is that mod good?

[knotty vortex]

the what now

how does such occur

[patent thistle]

its good

this can be considered bullying at this point

[knotty vortex]

what path does germany do for this

[eternal palm]

No path, its a formable that Nazi germany has

[cedar kite]

No as long as you are fascist and control certain states the decisions pops up

[eternal palm]

....isnt that what I said

yes I know about strasser

jfc u guys really are pedantic

Point is: Its a formable

[coral gorge]

Yeah, but UK can trigger it too

[trim lotus]

I feel the funniest result of Stalin's "grab for Iranian oil" is that Iran is seizing key Soviet oil fields.

[nimble pivot]

The ErrorLog video was originally posted and had some fair points obviously biased in editing and design choices. Manipulating audio during interviews to make the source seem untrustworthy or “evil” is just one example. But since then with every new video about the topic pushing their narrative it feels like beating a dead horse. And less about helping the community and more about “check out my channel” and views

[finite plume]

https://tenor.com/view/saul-better-call-saul-saul-goodman-saul-sweep-titans-gif-21970301

I have no idea what any of that is 🙏

[nimble pivot]

a dude made a couple of videos about the great war redux and now everyone thinks that mod is hell or something

[finite plume]

Ah

[brave haven]

I can't launch an invasion of England.

[blissful grail]

yummers

[oak mantle]

Is there a way to rush the italy-ethiopia war

[finite plume]

This must've been awkward

I wonder if they used the tanks like broadsides

[nimble pivot]

you have to turn them on

on the playset

[brave haven]

I can't launch an invasion of England.

[ocean flume]

You mean enable them in the launcher?

They are

[finite plume]

Gonna like- show a pic or any other further info or are ya' just gonna keep stating the same thing

[nimble pivot]

are you running a beta

[ocean flume]

I was running 16.10 beta cuz millenium dawn doesnt run on 1.17

[nimble pivot]

thats probably the issue

[ocean flume]

And novum vexilum neither does

[finite plume]

Because you're using the mods at their most updated state on older versions

[brave haven]

@gentle grail KİNG how are you?

[ocean flume]

Millenium dawn from the steam workshop is only on 1.16* no?

[finite plume]

No? Major mods usually get updated ahead of time

[brave haven]

Dude, I've played so far but I haven't been able to get a knockout.

[finite plume]

It's likely you had submods active that aren't compatible anymore

[finite plume]

You just said the same thing with different wording-

[ocean flume]

Ok thx ill try

[brave haven]

RELAX man

[finite plume]

You're the one using caps lock 🙏

O

[tender stump]

I've just been wondering, anyone know how much the attack stats of your ships actually affects shore bombardment bonus?
Is it a fixed number?
does it scale with fleet size?
Does it scale with the type of ships (so destroyers add only a bit and a battleship adds a lot)
Or does it actually scale with the attack stats of your fleet, namely light and heavy attack / light and heavy guns.
And how do aircraft carriers tie in?

[finite plume]

Yes

Hold on a moment

[brave haven]

ım not troll

Is there any resolution left then?

[mild hazel]

who knew that creating and dismantling factions over and over again managed to hype up your population for war so much you get more manpower than your whole population

least buggiest paradox moment

[proud tapir]

"The new faction system should fix all of the issues with how old factions work"

[ripe slate]

how does that work?

[mild hazel]

make faction, dismantle faction, own land that isnt a core

thats all there is to it

[ripe slate]

weird

[fair horizon]

Cheating

You have better troops and therefore its cheatering

[fair horizon]

Commie iceland can easily just recruit more people to its army than they have

[mild hazel]

would have to start by getting non cores though. so still requires building up an army

to take out some random minor nation

[fair horizon]

Well iceland has a core pop of 100k and commies get the free 500 a week

[mild hazel]

oh

i thought you were talking about the thing i was talking about

forgot about the karl marx portrait of prosperity

[fair horizon]

Nah i havent bought ncns

Love me karl marx zomvies

[sudden thistle]

Every commie can

[vital cove]

it duplicates the manpower you have on garrison whenever you dismantle faction

[ripe slate]

weird

[vital cove]

you can also cheese faction mechanics for infinity army/navy/air xp

[marble patio]

uhh guys

something is wrong

its october and they havent invaded

and they're putting troops on my border

should i be concerned

[uncut pollen]

If you play as poland

Yes

[fickle thicket]

hes playing the benelux

[marble patio]

im not poland im benelux

germany is acting very sus

they're a month late to make the pact with russia and right after they made it they put a shitton of troops on my border

[uncut pollen]

Ohhh

[marble patio]

it makes me wonder if they're going to fight me and poland at the same time

[uncut pollen]

You gotta be careful with the ussr

[marble patio]

i think we are relatively chill besides different ideology

i have not done much to piss them off

germany on the other hand

[uncut pollen]

Is it historicle?

[vital cove]

don't expect the ai to be exactly historically accurate

anything you do will affect it

and even without doing anything it won't be exact match

[cloud moth]

what do i even do in this situation

[uncut pollen]

Go to a Corner Lie down and sart crying

[cloud moth]

im cooked

[heavy vigil]

world war

[wary sparrow]

Anyone ever done thiis path instead of the Kaiser?

[fair horizon]

yeah its just ridiculously easy with iceland

[fair horizon]

hold constantinople and azerbajan or w/e that state is called and push the allies out of syria/iraq

[vital cove]

why is there a spain in france that is different than the spain in spain

[terse skiff]

it's just pain

[quaint girder]

I did

Honestly monarchist germany kinda felt like diet communist germany

But yeah you can bring in the oberste heeresleitung if you want

No idea if its mechanically better than the kaiser but its a cool spin on a monarchist path honestly

[wary sparrow]

huh

never happened before

[wary sparrow]

nah monarchist is actually peak

you can form hre, eu, get tons of free land

[quaint girder]

Yeah maybe i did something wrong

Because I only got poland for free

[wary sparrow]

ive played it so many times ive now locked down the strat

[quaint girder]

While as the commies I got all the free puppets

Which is insane

[wary sparrow]

try a game where you do the danzig for guarantees

[quaint girder]

The industry squeezed from them is, nuts

[wary sparrow]

then do mitteleuropa customs union

then literally everyone will fold for you

[quaint girder]

And that keeps the soviets from hitting poland?

[wary sparrow]

become puppets

[wary sparrow]

no but by the time they do you can wipe em out

[quaint girder]

That works

Since honestly the soviets arent too painful to fight

[wary sparrow]

even democratic germany is op

[quaint girder]

Just slow

[wary sparrow]

i mean

just get all the artillery bonuses from monarchist and you can clean house

[quaint girder]

Didnt try democratic germany either

Since i had just done three germany games in a row at the time

[wary sparrow]

i described it under my review from yesterday

[quaint girder]

Yeah no democratic germany is more interesting than I expected

Seems like democratic japan is the same way

Where the euros decolonize and you, walk in

Getting the setup div wise for fascist britain

Seems like you have to have x manpower sitting in dominion states

So I took control of their puppet divs

Indias the hard one because its huge

I think its doable with the right setup to rein them in

[quaint girder]

Yeah no I 100% have to had done something wrong with it

I should try it again

[spark spruce]

This game looks great but i am broke could someone get it for me?

[wicked narwhal]

oh hi italian greb

[vital cove]

yea its easy

[spark spruce]

hello italian american greb

[vital cove]

just annoying

[wicked narwhal]

gabagool

[quaint girder]

The paradox wikis got a guide on where every div should go

Its just a pain

[wary sparrow]

historical btw

italy failed in ethipoia and went into civil war

[quaint girder]

Ouch

The other italy is democratic?

[native forge]

navy is my favorite part of hoi4, i dont know why.

[fair horizon]

Naval fight cool

Are you from a great naval power irl?

[heavy vigil]

i like missile warfare

but its so expensive lol

[restive sable]

i do it just because i like the flag better

[wary sparrow]

i only did it for the name

kaiserreich is cool

[heavy vigil]

vendrip are you proud of me for making australia a great power

[eternal aspen]

Often times it could be a while without updating

[fair horizon]

no you used planes

[eternal aspen]

But every battalion shows where it's good and not good

[fair horizon]

also yeah kinda

[heavy vigil]

world factions rn :3

[fair horizon]

my issue as australia is expanding early

[eternal aspen]

Ngl it looks like you had a good run

My aussie issue is just how boring the tree is

[fair horizon]

like i want to take java but y'know they're part of the allies and such

[heavy vigil]

the main good thing about the run is the ai being on its thirth/fourth world war

[eternal aspen]

If you go alt-hist yoy gotta wait for points so you can leave UK

[heavy vigil]

its rare ish

i dont play hist its boring

in sp

[eternal aspen]

If I play hist, its for w country with more than 20 minutes of actual content

[fair horizon]

if you do you still end up with the issue of everything around you besides siam being part of the allies

[eternal aspen]

Siam ends up going Japan

[fair horizon]

unless you take it early

[eternal aspen]

So youre better off early game attacking DEI

[heavy vigil]

i did a civil war and got into a fight with the commonwealth nations because of it

[fair horizon]

howd you deal with the naval invasions?

[heavy vigil]

uk wasnt in

[eternal aspen]

Then trying to work with allies, Comintern, or Axis, to beat any invasions

[heavy vigil]

so it was like fraud faction thats annoying

[fair horizon]

ah

[heavy vigil]

i naval invaded new zealand tho

[quaint girder]

Turns out, theres another option

[eternal aspen]

?

[quaint girder]

Just fight the civil war

[eternal aspen]

Ah, true

[quaint girder]

And annex the dominions

I might just go for that one

[fair horizon]

ive gotten to the point where i conquer the indonesian islands and part of china before deciding to quit

australia just doesnt have it ngl

[heavy vigil]

it really doesnt lol

[eternal aspen]

Ngl best bet for huge aussie is alt-hist for UK whi goes kings party/fasc

[fair horizon]

hopefully the dlc fixes it

[eternal aspen]

Idk if communist they lose the dominions or just colonial possessions like africa
