hoi4-general

[fair horizon]

like if i got early land or research slots it would feel a lot better

[heavy vigil]

imo new zealand had interesting gameplay until update and now you get no doctrines and supremacy takes several ships so

its a lot harder

[eternal aspen]

I miss old navy ngl

[heavy vigil]

i think australia feels too small for what it is

[fair horizon]

at least with nz you only need to patrol one ocean thing

[heavy vigil]

like

you should have to deal with emus and stuff for flavour

like manchu bandits

it doesnt rlly matter but its flavour

[eternal aspen]

Well, Australia also had like, 60% unhabitable deserts

[fair horizon]

australia is minimum 5 sea zones to stop naval invasions on the mainland

[heavy vigil]

kinda not true

[eternal aspen]

But the emu-war was 1932, so maybe a spirit "loser of the emu war"?

[heavy vigil]

yeah im just saying give it some flavour

because its like ruling a continent thats really sparsely inhabited

[eternal aspen]

Aussie has 3-4 zones that can actually be worth protecting

[fair horizon]

another debuff

[eternal aspen]

-50000% stab

But +1% army xp gain

[heavy vigil]

invest in victory tho

[eternal aspen]

Average TFV content

[heavy vigil]

australia has some good buffs

its just your MIO buffs are locked behind puppet

[fair horizon]

oh yeah lemme just checks notes spend 2 years doing focuses to unlock it and then be at war with only checks again 3 research slots

its just not good

[cedar monolith]

ugh, 40 days wasted

[fair horizon]

its not bad

[heavy vigil]

i will flex on you with my 4 slots at that time as nzl

[fair horizon]

but it definitely isnt good

[heavy vigil]

maybe 5 or 6 if independent

[eternal aspen]

30*, you gain 10 days fir surplus

[cedar monolith]

ty for the reminder, lmao

[fair horizon]

if nz had manpower it would literally just be better australia

which if you get thailand it is

but eh

or taiwan rather

[heavy vigil]

it gets more cores at the end

so it is

it just takes work

itd be cool if both got updated and work together better

but idm if new zealand isnt updated

its pretty fire

[fair horizon]

or conquer each other

nz coring australia would be kinda nutty ngl

[heavy vigil]

i think working together if same ideology would be peaj

peak*

i think i just found the most unused unit in hoi4

modern SPAA tanks

[fair horizon]

thats a thing?

[mighty bone]

undisputed best path in hoi4, cores on US, UK, Canada, SAF, Australia, NZ, (France Germany Benelux Italy through form EU focus)

[fair horizon]

it shouldnt core the usa anymore

[mighty bone]

it still does

[fair horizon]

oh cool

still hate the entire process to get there ngl

[heavy vigil]

i just found out yes

[mighty bone]

its so easy

js gotta spam divs in 36 and 37

then be afk for a bit

[fair horizon]

casey my new favorite plane is mothership aircraft

[heavy vigil]

why

they get outtraded by supersonic

[opaque zinc]

Bruh

[fair horizon]

because i have no clue how to win air battles

[heavy vigil]

want good air designs?

[fair horizon]

so its nice when i get 200 and crush the usa

i mean i have the pinned one but it never wins for me

[mighty bone]

instead of crushing the usa, trick them into becoming british and coring them all!

[heavy vigil]

cuz you gotta outproduce your enemies/your losses

its very bad if you dont have enough industry

air is all or nothing

[fair horizon]

yeah i kinda hate that ngl

[azure walrus]

i guess this techncially isnt help

[mighty bone]

invade the reich?

[azure walrus]

twr doesnt let you justify manually

[mighty bone]

console commands:

[opaque zinc]

I just played as Netherlands I made the European Union had divisions that were 8 infantry support aa support artillery and engineer company and I had 60 of them and then I had 15 divisions of 6 infantry defending my ports, I had Poland and Czechoslovakia as puppets, I had 70 percent compliance on all colonies from Netherlands and Belgium, had Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece, Czechoslovakia, and Denmark in my faction but we still lost instantly to hereby

Germany*

I just wanna quit bro

[azure walrus]

also theyre democratic(i forced the toronto accord intervention to fail but Oster couped Speidel and did this anyway)

[mighty bone]

how did u lose to germany with all that?

[opaque zinc]

I didn’t finish building my forts ig

Idk

[heavy vigil]

i havent properly tested this vs jet supersonic yet but it might be nice for low fuel regardless

[fair horizon]

i always have worse agility than them with it though

[heavy vigil]

agility doesnt matter

it modifies your defense a bit

[fair horizon]

is that medium planes?

[heavy vigil]

but not significantly

small

[fair horizon]

howd you get more than 3 guns?

[opaque zinc]

I had like so many military and civilian factories and oil refineries too

[heavy vigil]

its supersonics

[opaque zinc]

I just don’t know how I lose so quick

I lasted like 2 months

[mighty bone]

imperial federation should get 6 research slots

[fair horizon]

is that like a special project?

[azure walrus]

good idea

[opaque zinc]

I really like this game but I might stop playing it

[heavy vigil]

probably not equipped, no air kinda stuff

[opaque zinc]

It’s just too difficult for me

[heavy vigil]

yes its the best plane in the video game

[opaque zinc]

I had lots of planes and great supply

[heavy vigil]

share screenshots

[mighty bone]

what was your div template?

[opaque zinc]

All my divisons were equipped

[fair horizon]

is that from the new dlc?

[opaque zinc]

I would but I capitulated

[heavy vigil]

gotterdammerung

[mighty bone]

did u have any tanks or air?

[heavy vigil]

load save

[opaque zinc]

Oh

[fair horizon]

oh its after axial jet

[opaque zinc]

Oh let’s go it crashed

[heavy vigil]

yeah its very late gamey

[opaque zinc]

Let’s try again

The crash reporter crashed

[azure walrus]

stopped to eat up poland first

[mighty bone]

thats an error i had recently lost a 1946 usa achievement run to that

very demoralizing

[opaque zinc]

It was 1939 and I honestly had no tanks

I just researched useless things I think

[fair horizon]

yeah honestly i dont think ive ever got past axial jet engine

[opaque zinc]

They didn’t have tanks either though

[mighty bone]

theres no need to by that time u've conquered the whole world anyway

[azure walrus]

hmm, germany had the wholesome chungus Oster coup and isnt engaging in the reconquest of their former Sphere... do they deserve annihilation?

(it should be noted that belgium and the netherlands are still fascist)

[mighty bone]

Yazov or Shukshin? type question

welp time for eurotrip

[azure walrus]

On one hand, they did commit to democracy even after I deleted all of the Toronto Accord's troops to cause the TA Intervention to fail

On the other...

[marble patio]

bro is preparing for the somme

[azure walrus]

theyre Germany so yeah they deserve it

[opaque zinc]

@heavy vigil I was on Ironman so no saves

[mighty bone]

nah i got 900 factories in 1942 so what else to do

[marble patio]

how does an ai even beat this bro

[mighty bone]

theres no hope

[marble patio]

motorized tank artillery mix

[opaque zinc]

I mean I did have max supply and my Lower line had less divisons

[marble patio]

with full support companies

[opaque zinc]

But I’m so confused how the top fell

[marble patio]

you could legit end the war as we speak

[mighty bone]

what is ur div template

[marble patio]

i use the basic ones, maybe slightly modded to have more manpower or some support divs

i play smaller countries cuz im better at developing economies then doing war

[mighty bone]

not you, i meant the other guyhe said he lost a run where he was much better than the ai but died

[marble patio]

oh

ai can be very random

even if u think things are going well

they can suddenly just turn into the dead men at any minute

[mighty bone]

what is this default tank name bro 🙏

[azure walrus]

they even gave Czechoslovakia a puppet state!

[marble patio]

i should know i fought against siam like 6 times

[opaque zinc]

My divison templates could’ve been better but it was 8 infantry support artillery support anti air and engineer company

I still think I should’ve atleast held

[marble patio]

i hate siam so much

they always come for me in my benelux runs

if its not japan its siam

and the british ai is so buns that i have to kill millions of my soldiers just to push them off of my godamn island

[azure walrus]

how cute!
too bad theyre all joining my sphere

[mighty bone]

you guys think europe has a chance?

[azure walrus]

twr encirclement

[fair horizon]

its a shame what happened to her irl

[mighty bone]

dont worry my royal navy will protect her

[azure walrus]

darn this is harder than i thought

[fair horizon]

it couldnt protect her from her captain irl :(

[mighty bone]

i cant believe this but i can make a full field marshal group be all 40 width tank divs in ironman in 1943

[cedar monolith]

revolution, mid-war 😂

[sage anvil]

one or two?

[mighty bone]

close battle

realistically if a modernized force fought this its likely theyd still lose i have more ships then they have bullets

[azure walrus]

this is why democracy is lame

[fair horizon]

why no win

[mighty bone]

win?

[fair horizon]

like your navy would have crushed france's

[mighty bone]

they ran away

[heavy vigil]

i think i lost the pride of the fleet in my game too because like

i had this fleet

of a bunch of old ships

didnt really plan to use it

and then it got into a battle and got slaughtered

[fair horizon]

yeah but like also you didnt get any capitals killed, did your carriers not have naval bombers?

[mighty bone]

no

i stopped making them

[fair horizon]

ah makes sense then

[mighty bone]

I only make tanks and air now

[fair horizon]

oof

[mighty bone]

when the game gives you 917 ships

you lose the need to make good ones

[fair horizon]

honestly all the sydney class cruisers besides hobart had pretty bad fates

[native forge]

yes, america

[mighty bone]

"i am from england AMERIKA"

[fair horizon]

so its a hypothesis of mine that people from great naval powers like naval in hoi4

[fair horizon]

i speak american you brit

[native forge]

huh interesting

[mighty bone]

no

im not british but thats an old meme on the internet

have u never seen it?

[fair horizon]

yes

[mighty bone]

so a few americans are playing cs with a russian guy

he doesnt want to admit hes russian

so the americans ask him where are you from

and he says i am from england amerika

[woven gate]

then says his president is michael jordan

[mighty bone]

yea

[fair horizon]

why is this stuck behind trade interdiction?

[mighty bone]

cuz hoi4 dev team cares more about spamming out dlcs than fixing their game

[woven gate]

because having 6 variants of a submarine is easier than having 6 variants of an aircraft carrier

[fair horizon]

locking spirits behind stuff is stupid

[woven gate]

also because the devs are israeli

[fair horizon]

surface fleets use more than just torpedoes

[woven gate]

this explains it then

[mighty bone]

???

[trim lotus]

While I hesitate to attribute coherent thought to HOI 4 AI, IRL, I'd suspect an ulterior motive to the US joining my Germany-centric faction. I'm building up a navy to take on the (fascist) Royal Navy, and one could assert "the US is joining so Germany doesn't feel the need to build up its own massive navy which could challenge the Royal... then United States Navy".

[wary sparrow]

allies are next

[fair horizon]

why

like why is something useful for the average surface ship on a grand doctrine for subs?

[quasi shoal]

Huh

[fair horizon]

you need trade interdiction for integrated designers and juene ecole

trade interdiction is for subs

[heavy vigil]

french

[fair horizon]

subs arent surface ships

[heavy vigil]

french doctrine

[marble patio]

well germany just kicked my ass right out of europe

[marble patio]

i killed 18k of them and they killed 66k of us

[fair horizon]

so i got lucky in an ahistorical game

india went to war

[quasi shoal]

isn't trade interdiction just anti trade stuff in general

[heavy vigil]

pro gamer

[fair horizon]

the idea behind trade interdiction from what i understand is its kinda like the submarine stuff germany did during ww2

[heavy vigil]

i thought you were done with australia smh

[fair horizon]

YOU DID THIS TO ME

[heavy vigil]

what did i do

actually

[fair horizon]

made me want to play more australia

[heavy vigil]

if you have new zealand or any pacific nation as a dominion

and you give them all the lil islands

[quasi shoal]

but also convoy raiding efficiency

[heavy vigil]

they could (could) form polynesia

only as dominion tho, all other puppet levels no work

or theyd need to be independent

and then you can larp with your puppet/ally with many many cores

did you know the polynesia formable cores rapa nui

i didnt know until recently

[fair horizon]

playable australia is real

[quaint girder]

Turns out the british civil war is really easy

You just kinda run them over with infantry

[fair horizon]

alright australia world conquest time

[heavy vigil]

ahist with free everything makes the game a lot more playable

like justification, vols and stuff

its like you can play a democracy and manually justify

its great

[quaint girder]

So now its 1936

And all the dominions are full annexed

Mid 36

Its only june

[fair horizon]

rip imperial federation

[quaint girder]

So the play now

Go beat up the USA

[heavy vigil]

easier actually

[quaint girder]

Unite the anglosphere

[heavy vigil]

i dont believe they get spawn in units

could be wrong

[quaint girder]

Not sure

[heavy vigil]

if theres no spawn ins, delete the army

then truck

[quaint girder]

I know I got blackshirt units

[fair horizon]

they do

[heavy vigil]

over

vendrip this ussr

is so cooked

theyre done mobilizing scraping the barrel

stalin gives 2% recruitable

and theyre at 0 manpower

because theyve gone through like 1? maybe 2 wars before where they lost so much

in one of them they even capped

[quaint girder]

How did the ai not annex them if they capped?

[heavy vigil]

theyre allied to china they wont lose

[heavy vigil]

cuz its ahist

[quaint girder]

Ah

[heavy vigil]

they were in a mega faction with japan and stuff

and it was like a trillion people dead

uk ruined

germany no manpower

france ruined

soviets dead

then i killed japan after the war deleted all their mils they didnt have puppets etc

so every great power besides usa got like game ruined

and now the US is invading the USSR and failing

[quaint girder]

Jeez

Time for me to have no manpower

Since now I have to garrison the british empire

Since well

Annexed all the damn puppets

[heavy vigil]

current world war has a total of about 83 mil casualties

[quaint girder]

How are they still going?

[heavy vigil]

this is without minor nation casualties

[heavy vigil]

pop grows every month etc etc

also china is very strong

as well as some nations like denmark are punching above their weight

[quaint girder]

The hell is the tenth crusade?

[heavy vigil]

malta

[quaint girder]

That actually makes sense

Knights of malta and all that

[heavy vigil]

also if you see nations like the uk

this isnt like 1936 uk

[quaint girder]

Yeah their flag changed

[heavy vigil]

their army is max 700K soldiers

airforce is like max 5K planes

7K* sorry

[quaint girder]

Thats uh

Tiny

[heavy vigil]

and a fleet of max 90 ships

they really lost their form

france too is crippled

so is germany

soviets despite getting completely murdered are the second least crippled starting major

[quaint girder]

Good god

[heavy vigil]

and their forces are just small because of manpower

but they have like 900 mils

[quaint girder]

It also seems like the allies are, somewhere past berlin

Since an east germany capped already

[heavy vigil]

east?

they had all of germany

[quaint girder]

Oh the soviets got all of it?

[heavy vigil]

well they won the world war yeah

[quaint girder]

I guess france went fascist?

[heavy vigil]

it was like uk, france, germany all of europe vs ussr, japan, china

monarchist ger

[restive sable]

lebanon in a lobby full of randoms

[opaque zinc]

New hoi4 challenge

Have fun as New Zealand

[heavy vigil]

its not comparable to a hist game

[quaint girder]

I am only going off it having the fascist name

[weak rock]

i wish the german ai would be more competent if italy held med (malta, suez, Gib) and greece without german help

[quaint girder]

Nation francaise

[heavy vigil]

theyre fascist now

they were communist before too

[quaint girder]

But werent before

They have been flipping a lot I guess

[heavy vigil]

wow

were almost full circle

i reunited the 2 uks so they have like 300 ships

and i remember germany having like 900 ships but thats down to like

MAX 590

while the US navy is down to like MAX 350 ships

its almost full circle with the royal navy being one of the largest navies

the reason the uk went downhill btw was because i was naval blockading them for like 10 years

they had no production, had a lot of people die to resistance

no new ships

no fuel

[sharp sierra]

loll the blockade thing is so annoying

[heavy vigil]

its so awesome

[sharp sierra]

yea

i like it

[heavy vigil]

its really annoying but really good at the same time

its easy to break as a player anyway

[quaint girder]

I just realized a problem of playing as fascist britain

Garrisons

You have to garrison so much

Can the dominions break away if you beat them in the first war?

[heavy vigil]

yes

[quaint girder]

I figured as much

Since they wouldnt be fascist

They can break away

Time to go kill the USA

[heavy vigil]

oh yeah i explained my game poorly

the US isnt losing in the classic losing land sense

theyve just been brought to a stalemate where theyre only really getting pushed back sometimes

and they wont win war of attrition vs china and ussr

[quasi shoal]

that's what you think...

wait til they get nukes trust

[heavy vigil]

they already have those

and have had them for a while

moscow got nuked too

[quasi shoal]

wait til they get enough to launch them a ton

[heavy vigil]

they have like 60 i believe

[quaint girder]

Yeah they will lose that long term

[quasi shoal]

wait til they get enough strat bombers

trust

[heavy vigil]

sorry i checked

[quasi shoal]

us will win

[heavy vigil]

74

[quasi shoal]

usa will win 🦅

[heavy vigil]

they have 2500 deployed

[quasi shoal]

more

they need enough to launch every nuke at once

[heavy vigil]

they dont have any ICBMs tho

wait nvm they have a singular ICBM

[fair horizon]

1938 australia lmao

[heavy vigil]

i could give them some i have like 1K but eh

[quasi shoal]

at least you got tungsten

and coal

[fair horizon]

i havent even gotten my free factories yet

[heavy vigil]

why not research slot?

[cedar monolith]

finally time for the good part

45% war support too, no stopping now

[warped flint]

I am gonna play a mod where I have to fight the entire world, ima play as russia, wish me luck

[safe wing]

Why did you not flip fascist? Just curious

Well aware of the Republican path trick where you can go full world domination mode

[fair horizon]

wym?

the bottom one? needs this too

[safe wing]

You can do the same as the Democrats with the communists as well and it’s way more powerful

[cedar monolith]

didnt flip facist because every video i saw does that and it renames the country, not for me, democratic hegemony

[safe wing]

Fair enough

Also no civil war

[cedar monolith]

also, im probably butchering the way this should be played/timed out but i havent found a good walkthrough for skipping the silver shirts, and yeah, no civil war

[safe wing]

The devs actually intended this option btw

Which surprised me a lot

[cedar monolith]

i would think so, as its a much slower but seemingly more powerful build up. and with historical ai off its possible

[warped flint]

I am ready to unpause

ima rush the baltics and finland

[safe wing]

@heavy vigil sorry for pinging you I pulled this off last night

[warped flint]

hmmm

Wait

why am i doing this

I dont wanna do this

I have free will

no i am not doing this to myself

[heavy vigil]

awesome! :D

[grave fable]

Interesting

[fair horizon]

chat ive just discovered that converted battleships are more efficient than converted cruisers in terms of plane space:IC

[grave fable]

Mp lobby stuck on my screen why I do

[fair horizon]

did the game start?

[grave fable]

Yes

[wary sparrow]

mussolini picked 3 years but hitler denied it, otherwise italy would be strongest power

[safe elbow]

where are the real n g's

come lets play

[wary sparrow]

ethiopia deserves hell

cause of their stupid african rebellion buffs

now i burn them to the ground for my inconviences

[safe elbow]

why is ethi alve

@wary sparrow

why it is alive

[meager nest]

chat which minor nation should i play next

[wary sparrow]

cause italy sucked on historical, then italy went into civil war

so they just chilled

and ruined my compliance in africa

italy collapsed due to ethipoia smh

[safe elbow]

crazzy

[wary sparrow]

much better

balkans be ded now

[heavy vigil]

yes

but also no

its more efficient when building a new ship

but not more efficient when converting a ship

[fair horizon]

well yeah thats what i mean

[heavy vigil]

theyre convert hulls

you can take a cruiser and make it into a carrier

[fair horizon]

cause the carrier engine is better overall i went with it

and it seems like the game wants to limit you to 80 planes a battle so

also its intresting that converted battleships dont get battleship armor

[kind vale]

If only the pope could be a Italian leader

I love USSR openings they are so fun

[edgy canopy]

look at this jjba meme i created

[icy egret]

You can intervene in China through communist guarantee and allowing them to execute Chang Kai Shek, you can do double justify and southern thrust to invade like five countries at once, you can demand submission from MORE countries, peak.

[icy egret]

I don’t get it

What does it mean by MEGAC

[edgy canopy]

look josuke from this picture when he hits something and breaks it he can rearange it and fix it like it never hapend so he did that to your eyebrows

[icy egret]

[tender stump]

Do you have fast divisions so that you can take the neccessary tiles before they are reinforcing?
(Also if you see them move more troops in pin the other tiles)

[ripe slate]

[iron iron]

How does iron man work

What if I have to go to school or sum

And close hoi4

[ripe slate]

It saves on shutdown

If it crashes it backups either weekly or bi-weekly

[iron iron]

I was worrying so hard Ty

Getting viva la France

With a different strategy

Join axis and don’t join wars w allies

I am stable Facist France in 1940 so far

[lavish veldt]

update: after the 3rd attempt i was able to break through much more easier and do encirclements

[iron iron]

And how do I remove disjoined government nation spirit as France

Safari ain’t saying shit

[ripe slate]

Progress down focus tree

every path removes it

[iron iron]

Oki

[amber matrix]

uhhh

[lavish veldt]

omfd

my game js crashed

its like around august 1838

1938

idk what to do

[iron iron]

I’ve never played as France before so it’s prolly ass

[amber matrix]

[amber matrix]

[icy egret]

[lavish veldt]

[amber matrix]

[lavish veldt]

yes

ill show you modlist after verifying integrity

[bright forum]

I think I gotta just stop trying to play Germany. I never win, I frankly have 0 interest in understanding the bigger picture of why I keep losing, I have more fun playing as the USSR anyway.

IDK why I keep doing it to myself, but I gotta stop.

[icy crescent]

That's fine.
Play what you have fun with.

I still keep myself from playing Majors. xd

Only Major I played was Italy but with early France paratroop cheese, because I wanted Greater Italy and let Libya form Magreb and Arabia.

[cursive oxide]

Like losse the all wars or losse the end part of the game ?

[bright forum]

I win early game, fight USSR, do well for a moment, then die.

So...historically accurate I guess.

I tried this method some YouTuber was talking about that spam made a bunch of these 1 unit divisions to rush Anschluss, didn't get it working.

[iron iron]

So they don’t attack me

Viva la franc escheiv

Acheivment

[cursive oxide]

I can get France and uk before 1940

[iron iron]

Only

[cursive oxide]

Paratroopers

[iron iron]

[brave haven]

@iron iron hey "❌" Remove this

[iron iron]

Why

[brave haven]

You are harming my campaign.

[iron iron]

Your just asking people to like your stuff whether they agree with it or not?

[brave haven]

The number of signatures is decreasing.

[cursive oxide]

@vital cove I Always get field hospital when I play minor's is that good ?

[iron iron]

What if I disagree?

[vital cove]

[brave haven]

My friend, you just liked it a moment ago.

Why did you do this now?

[cursive oxide]

A true

[iron iron]

Didn’t read it before just read it

[brave haven]

You just pressed green, now it's red.

[iron iron]

Yeah because I didn’t read it before?

[brave haven]

Okay, what's the problem?

A very good article.

No problem, why are you against it?

[iron iron]

Kurdistan is irrelevant

[brave haven]

There is

[iron iron]

I don’t actually reckon building a whole focus tree for it is reasonable

[cursive oxide]

Aslo how I get the actievement where I annex Istanbul and rename it to constantenobal as Greece with no dlcs ?

[brave haven]

It matters

[iron iron]

It’s irrelevant and whatever

Not bothered to continue

[brave haven]

My friend, Kurds are a large number in the Middle East.

[iron iron]

Honest waste of time

[brave haven]

This has to happen.

[iron iron]

Play as Greece and take Constantinople

[brave haven]

This is the truth.

[cursive oxide]

how do I get this man's family in charge of other nations with out dlcs ?

Aka the habsburgs

For the No friends only family. Achievement

[brave haven]

The Kurdish people need this; would Australia be pleased that it doesn't have a focal tree?

[grizzled yarrow]

Yall

What are the best offensive inf division templates

[iron iron]

Australia sucks in hoi4

Don’t care

[brave haven]

It's not terrible; it has its own focus tree and is very diverse.

[iron iron]

To to far away from everything

Don’t like it at all

[eternal palm]

Diverse? 💀
In what way. In terms of focus trees, we've gotten a lot better ones than the tfv ones. Which were shit even when it released

Like I don't see any case for Australia having a good tree

[fierce peak]

https://tenor.com/view/hearts-of-iron-4-naval-gif-12542253955591881556

[sudden thistle]

Uhmmmm

[brave haven]

In my opinion, the focus tree was quite sufficient; I can't comment on your opinion.

[cursive oxide]

Guys what's to worts focus in game ?

[brave haven]

ISIS supporter welcome

[eternal palm]

But in comparison to trees that other minors have gotten over the years, we can say that the Australia tree is small and almost not worth noticing. Especially in comparison to countries like raj

Like Sure, it's compact and concise, but lacks the power that other trees have

[brave haven]

You can even establish the European Union.

[pale flare]

this guy is impenetrable

[eternal palm]

Were talking about australia

Not Austria

[brave haven]

@steep zodiac hey

[vital cove]

Austria focus tree is like the most broken in the game lmao

[eternal palm]

Yea

[vital cove]

Monarchist Italy with the Democratic King path is the second best Italian path behind the pope prove me wrong

[iron iron]

Naval

Units

[brave haven]

Creep

No units to naval invade

[eternal palm]

As Italy, justify on Austria, join Germany, justify on Malaysia and invade UK

Should still work

[vital cove]

[brave haven]

You are a strange person.

[vital cove]

in 37-38 uk has no army

[eternal palm]

Idk Mussolini is still pretty strong

[safe wing]

You get no civil wars with this path too btw

[eternal palm]

Don't gotta justify your larp

[heavy vigil]

[vital cove]

[eternal palm]

Yea and
