hoi4-general

[vivid juniper]

But with generals

[trim lotus]

Question: does the AI recycle names of destroyed divisions? I'm facing the 1239'th German infantry division, and a part of me is hoping that's is actually the 1239'th infantry division and not the 1600'th or 1700th or something like that, because the casualties are already ghoulish.

[terse skiff]

how many divisions does germany have? do they have 1239 of them?

[trim lotus]

Intel estimate is 509-618. Zero manpower on all adults serve, because they took a beating taking out the USSR, then a lot of beatings from me.

[tulip thorn]

I used to play nothing but romania in mp

[heavy wind]

i mean...yeah but in singleplayer

[tulip thorn]

I was a romania main 💔

[heavy wind]

it feels like

idk

you dont really have goals do you

[tulip thorn]

I like romania tbh

[heavy wind]

like

[tulip thorn]

just really bad tree

[heavy wind]

yeah

definetly

[tulip thorn]

When I want to play romania ill just play road to 56 lol

[heavy wind]

i wonder how will they take it up tho

next dlc is like

czechoslovakia yugo romania

right?

[tulip thorn]

That dlc is only czech

[heavy wind]

no way

[tulip thorn]

and made 100% by a team of I think 3 really good modders

Like marjin

[tulip thorn]

Its true

[heavy wind]

i geniuenly dont know who that is

i dont recognize names well

but seriously?

im...bit disapointed tbh

[tulip thorn]

Marjin is a head dev for road to 56

and a mod here

[heavy wind]

well good for them

[tulip thorn]

You can check the steam page

This dlc better not be more than 5 bucks

Its a single nation

[heavy wind]

its gonna be 15

okay this better have some good mechanics tho

this arms exports isnt like...international market tho?

[tulip thorn]

Dont think paradox is that dumb

That would actually be a terrible move

[heavy wind]

yeah but...they make a lot of those lately...

[tulip thorn]

I dont think they are dumb enough to sell a single nation tree for 15 bucks

They are dumb enough to do a nation pack like south america for that price

[heavy wind]

idk, maybe not 15 but 10

they dont even sell the music packs for 5 bucks

i think (?)

[tulip thorn]

Bonus songs pack is 5 bucks

[prisma saddle]

overprice for our time

[tulip thorn]

Non focus tree things seem to be 3-7 bucks

[amber matrix]

absolutely beautiful

[tulip thorn]

Im sorry, But what is that army management

💀

[prisma saddle]

you know what is even more beautiful?

[amber matrix]

lets just say i have to manage 4 fronts at once

[prisma saddle]

THAT

[tulip thorn]

Field marshals my guy

[terse skiff]

Seems like he has field marshals

Just don't know why he wouldn't assign generals

[tulip thorn]

oh my god

[amber matrix]

😭✌️

[tulip thorn]

This is almost ai management

[amber matrix]

Im ai

[tulip thorn]

That is almost how the ai does it

[terse skiff]

Do you need that many troops?

[amber matrix]

Yes.

[terse skiff]

When I play Germany 120 is enough

[amber matrix]

I have 3 fronts

[terse skiff]

Ok I do get 121 1 Cavs to send 7 divisions to Spain

Just sealion already

[amber matrix]

Its not that easy

[terse skiff]

If you can't do the channel go from Norway to Newcastle

[amber matrix]

I tried that twice* and always get stopped right at england

[terse skiff]

Did you build carriers?

[amber matrix]

No

[terse skiff]

Well that's the problem

Carriers were meta before but now they're outright broken

[grand bear]

✌️

[amber matrix]

oh...

[grand bear]

wait lemme delte the encirclement then ill say casuelties

[amber matrix]

rn i have the soviets at 3.5m to my 800k

is that good @terse skiff

[terse skiff]

It's good

I mean it depends on what you're doing

[amber matrix]

i have moscow

[grand bear]

it was 370k

[terse skiff]

I had a 172k to 6m Germans run as Stalin

[amber matrix]

One time i randomly found 92 soviet divisions hiding in crimea

1.5m

[grand bear]

holyy

[amber matrix]

let me try to find the pic

1 sec

[terse skiff]

Yep this one

Only 4 days of fuel left though

[amber matrix]

Like 100 divisions

[cyan prairie]

guys do yall have the problem with the letter that sounds like V but is a bit harder

[amber matrix]

what?

[cyan prairie]

like on the keyboard "asd ..."

i cant type it

[terse skiff]

W?

[cyan prairie]

no

next to D

right side

[vivid juniper]

I finally did it

Also the Japanese AI is so stupid the US single-handedly
KO them made my job 10 times easier

[terse skiff]

F?

[cyan prairie]

ye

its not working

and so is my ctrl

[terse skiff]

Did you capslock

[dusky burrow]

what kind of army and air force are you using?

[cyan prairie]

no

[amber matrix]

@tulip thorn do u like my front ❤️❤️❤️

[dusky burrow]

to not have enough fuel while you have the Caucasus, Iraq, and Iran

[tulip thorn]

I hate it

[terse skiff]

It was during bba so I forgot unfortunately

[amber matrix]

🥰🥰🥰

Im very human

[cyan prairie]

there we go

i fixed it

anyway

CHECK THIS LADS

after YEARS of making my own templates

[amber matrix]

Honestly invading turkey was such a mistake as germany

[cyan prairie]

my mechanized smashed through russia

[steel zephyr]

does 100% compliance core?

[terse skiff]

This is a more current one but I definitely can improve since I produced too many spgs so I can add more heavy machine guns on them and I used motherships for the lols

[amber matrix]

unfortunately no

[cyan prairie]

european italy 💀

[steel zephyr]

built level 4 railway between Helsinki and Siberia 🤤

[cyan prairie]

uuhhhhmm guyysss

[terse skiff]

Somehow only 65% participation when I occupied all the way until brittany

[amber matrix]

Build a supply hub

[cyan prairie]

how do iget man power 😔

i got 0

[amber matrix]

Switch law

If u are already scraping the barrel and need need more

Get despeate defense for +5%

[cyan prairie]

a.

[amber matrix]

?

[cyan prairie]

im kinda doing nice

[amber matrix]

Good job

[cyan prairie]

but when the allies wanna annoy you

they d o

[steel zephyr]

higher level rail means faster troop transport across them right??

[amber matrix]

bro micro dday

what are u doing

[cyan prairie]

i am

[amber matrix]

good good

[amber matrix]

Bro just set a defensive order

[cyan prairie]

NAAAAHH

no need

imma disband some of these spammed divisions

and make some port guards

[amber matrix]

Also i just build level 7 forts on Belgium and Normandy

[cyan prairie]

oh

[amber matrix]

I cant have another front rn

[cyan prairie]

ALSO

question

:>

[amber matrix]

?

[cyan prairie]

do u go through caucausus

for oil

[amber matrix]

Did u invade turkey??

[cyan prairie]

nuh

[amber matrix]

yes

That has lots of oil

Good for autarky focus

[cyan prairie]

good industry factorie thingy?

or do i need to put actories somewhere else

[terse skiff]

you most likely don't need 81 factories for guns, check your stockpile

ad you should definitely change lights to medium spgs

[amber matrix]

u dont need that many guns lol

even 25 (what i usually put) is way too much

15 is probably fine

focus on fighters and cas

more than guns

[terse skiff]

Tbh his production efficiency might be low

What is your industry tech level?

[cyan prairie]

i am suffering.

[amber matrix]

This is why this is the best strategy

btw i added more now lol

[violet veldt]

Divide them into fronts

[amber matrix]

no.

2 encirlclements

[loud socket]

is there any good spain mod for playing as democratic spain?

[ancient quiver]

what is it?

[amber matrix]

beautifully disgusting

[wild marten]

yes game of course this encircled spanish army has full supply

are they getting airdrops or what

[dusky burrow]

state supply from infrastructure

these units are like 6-widths, they consume marginal amounts of supply but the state gives them some

also do you have unplanned offensive modifiers

but being 6-widths they're also really weak keep in mind

[viral rain]

Yo, is there a way to figure out what game version older saves are?

[tulip thorn]

I dont think so

[sly venture]

why does Germany deadass do better without me in the war

[viral rain]

UGK

[tulip thorn]

You could jus try setting your game to older versions to figure it out

[viral rain]

True

ITs a pretty old save

I think before AAT

[sly venture]

When I play as Italy in every scenario Germany has an easier time with the Soviets when I don’t attack

do you guys know why?

[tulip thorn]

Are you trying to play it lol

[viral rain]

Found it

[viral rain]

Yes cuz I am making a submod and something is not right about something in the world

and I dont remember how many units I put on that part of the world

[tulip thorn]

Im pretty sure its going to crash to an error

Since its in a total overhaul mod

One that has changed its map a little bit since

[viral rain]

....

Well

I cant even launch the version the save is in

[tulip thorn]

1.14.10 will work

[viral rain]

Alright

Thanks

Yup, crashed on startup

Thats fine, I will make stuff up

[tulip thorn]

Rip

Had a feeling

That was so long, and EaW has updated quite a bit

[viral rain]

Im mad cuz I SPENT MY TIME RENAMING ALL OF THE UNITS FOR MY CODER TO CODE

Oh well

[tulip thorn]

You know, I think it might still be possible to look at the save data and troops without loading into said save

[ancient plover]

Hello my friends

why this non agression pact doesn't have a date to expire?

[terse skiff]

non aggression pacts don't have an expiration date

look at the tooltip it tells you when you can cancel it

[tulip thorn]

Read the tooltip

Its telling you when it can be canceled

[sly venture]

does anyone know?

[tulip thorn]

Not when it expires

[terse skiff]

because you can't revoke the pact yet with Jimma

you already can with Chiang so it doesn't tell you when you can revoke

[tulip thorn]

Mostly just german ai rng

But also because the germans arent using as many troops to bail out a failing italian ai

[amber matrix]

i have 4 million men in the field

[wispy ginkgo]

May I ask, what mod is this? And what path are you going as Germany?

[tulip thorn]

Looks to be road to 56 maybe

[sly venture]

because most of the time I have like 300 divisions as Italy and we are doing worse then what German npc would do by himself

[tulip thorn]

Look at the political pie chart colors

[wispy ginkgo]

Yeah I was guessing Rt56, I was curious what path cuz I haven't seen that flag before

[tulip thorn]

Im also guessing a sub mod that adds new flags?

[wispy ginkgo]

Yeah prob, pretty sure Rt56 doesn't have any swastikas on their flags

[tulip thorn]

Because the swastika doesnt exist in normal road to 56

[tulip thorn]

yeah

[sly venture]

Also do i use tanks when invading the Soviets

[terse skiff]

if you can produce and equip them

[tulip thorn]

Depends on how you want to play

[terse skiff]

in the current patch spgs are meta in sp

[tulip thorn]

Spgs my beloved

[sly venture]

I was trying out no step back so I was just absolutely spamming tanks

but we lost to the Soviets so I decided to load another save and go for Africa

[terse skiff]

show us your divisions

also did you already cap uk?

[sly venture]

I was planning to do that after getting a decent amount of Africa

[terse skiff]

it's always better to cap uk as soon as you can

but that requires you getting naval supremacy

[weary lagoon]

purely a coincidence

[sly venture]

I wanted to get a some more navy so I can guarantee it works

[terse skiff]

if you can then invade

once you take uk's navy you don't need to worry about navy any more

[amber matrix]

i remember my first barbarossa it was a absolute clusterfuck

i took more casualties

and i didnt even get to kiev

because i didnt know i had to micro i though a battle plan was enough

And i had the default panzer divsion

[dusky burrow]

oof

[vital cove]

battleplan is enough

i never micro and barb is piss easy

[amber matrix]

I also care about casualties

[vital cove]

yea you can battleplan the soviets with like 10:1 casualties

[amber matrix]

wizardry

[vital cove]

not really the ai is just bad+if you use high hp units you don't take much casualties

[sacred pilot]

more useul than the un??

[vital cove]

just more useless ais that'll steal your warscore

[sacred pilot]

thanks to me, russia joined the allies.

[fickle thicket]

ragnarök 39:

[heavy vigil]

good day

[silk fern]

i was hoping italy would be able to deal with 3 little portugese colonies for me 😢

cant trust those people

[sacred pilot]

after that image, i declared war on the german empire, i won, BUT, the game crashed.

[tulip thorn]

I love non historical

I love it

[uncut pollen]

Hello

[heavy vigil]

how are you miss flowi ?

[sacred pilot]

happened to me too, but the opposite.

[spare belfry]

Can someone give me some tips on the game? I have some questions

[tulip thorn]

What are your questions?

[uncut pollen]

Im playing deltarune so everything is fine

[spare belfry]

I don’t know how to beat uk in naval dominance

Playing as Germany

[uncut pollen]

Since i find one caracter cute there i play it every time im lonely

[tulip thorn]

You need better ships than them

[spare belfry]

I have captured France Yugoslavia Norway Poland but I am struggling against uk now

[tulip thorn]

This is your typical light cruiser that you will mass produce in a naval game

[spare belfry]

So I can just produce a basic cruiser like this with that design and its ok?

[tulip thorn]

I would also make a carrier or 2

[heavy vigil]

mid

[tulip thorn]

:(

[heavy vigil]

torp dds is where its at now

you get like -60% vis

[tulip thorn]

Really

[spare belfry]

What should I do gangsters

[heavy vigil]

idk do you need naval range?

[spare belfry]

Idk I need naval dominance to capture them via naval invasion

My army and everything is strong but not the navy

[atomic harbor]

Guys i started WW3 in 1963

After ww2 ended, i went in and conquered south america as uruguay, when i got to mexico to push to USA, mexico joined european union, scaling into a full blown ww3 with me being the owner of the allies, with poland, spain, portugal, yugoslavia and greece against germany, france, turkey, finland and norway and few other countries

Poland now conquered germany lol

[azure walrus]

are there any shcizo countries i can play to schizomax

[atomic harbor]

uruguay

im trying to do world conquer

[azure walrus]

hmm alright

but how do i beat brazil

im bad

[atomic harbor]

uruguay its this little piece of shit

[atomic harbor]

i left brazil for almost the end

i nuked them

like

10 nukes

then naval invasion

[azure walrus]

then who first

argentina?

[atomic harbor]

i went into ww2 and grabbed a lot of territory from france

which gave me factories

and resources

then i grabbed italy

and asked nicely for paris

[azure walrus]

what if im not tryna do a wc

[atomic harbor]

Then i went yes argentina and they became axis after i conquered them i became leader of allies lol

[atomic harbor]

idk

you can play non historical uruguay

[azure walrus]

i just remembered, i have an achievement run to do as italy

[glacial oasis]

i think it's funny hitler picked the year with the coldest winter in the 20th century to invade the soviet union

[tulip thorn]

He should have used psychic powers to learn that 1941 would have the coldest winter

[glacial oasis]

exactly

[tulip thorn]

Major skill issue on his part

[glacial oasis]

PETER GRIFFIN?!

[silk fern]

why is soviet denmark (only greenland) a major power lmao

[tulip thorn]

Because they are the strongest

[glacial oasis]

i have another question

[silk fern]

what

[glacial oasis]

why does swedish spain exist

[silk fern]

no idea

[heavy vigil]

argentina is harder

their starting army is better than brasil

[azure walrus]

well then

stuck between a rock and another rock

[heavy vigil]

no because brasil starts very weak

they have like maybe 10 divs and like 2 mils

iirc its less

[azure walrus]

how fast can they increase that number

[heavy vigil]

and their mils get like crazy debuffs

[azure walrus]

and how fast can uruguay

[heavy vigil]

very slowly

[azure walrus]

hm

[heavy vigil]

they never have enough to guard all ports and border

[azure walrus]

since when does uruguay have a good navy

[heavy vigil]

you have a ship

[fair horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/comunisto-dogo-gif-15433861177915232836

Do the other commie south american states get good industry buffs? Ive only played argentina braizl and colombia

[heavy vigil]

fascist uruguay is good

you get a bunch of spawn in units

[amber matrix]

uhhhh

42000 a day?

[heavy vigil]

converting

[trim lotus]

The US has been at war for nearly a decade now. The USSR fell to the Axis as the US built up its strength and dealt with countless... distractions. Mexican distractions. Japanese distractions. Venezuelan distractions. Chinese distractions. But, at last, Berlin has fallen, and the only two majors left in the Axis are Hungary and Turkey.

And now, communist UK has decided to declare war on Germany. Coulda used your help ages ago there Britain

[amber matrix]

ik but still

[heavy vigil]

well no not a still

its probably converting just MIO upgrades which isnt a huge difference and like 0.10 cost

[mystic sand]

Soviet encirclements are so fun

[crimson knot]

Holy ratio

[jade ore]

how do you stop it from zooming ur camera into the nuke location

[leaden mulch]

not the greatest but still decent

[timber ferry]

can someone please tell me if my Pfp is or isnt violating Rule no.4

I DO NOT WANT TO GET BANNED IN ANOTHER PARADOX SERVER PLS

[timber ferry]

it usually doesnt?

[jade ore]

when someone else drops a nuke like the ai

im tryna make a timelapse on tfr but it keeps zooming in 💔

[timber ferry]

it never happened to me

i think its cause of the news report thingy

[barren coyote]

Finally I understand war!!!!!

(I added generals after this screenshot)

After 200 hours of trying again and again I finaly got my big encirclment and won the civil war

[finite plume]

No straits Philippines is gonna be so fun 😊

[opal nymph]

But did you add field marshals?

[barren coyote]

Oh yeah I did that to

[opal nymph]

Nice

[barren coyote]

I was just locked in the war and I forgot to add generals and field marshals

Feels good to win

[opal nymph]

Doesnt it always?

(Fun fact, no)

[barren coyote]

Going to be completly honest the ai almost encircled me wall I was encircling them but I fought back

[amber matrix]

just capitulate im crine

PLEASE

[runic spoke]

look at how my friend organizes his armies dude jfc

hes actually an AI istg

[amber matrix]

im more ai

[runic spoke]

nah

it would be like 1 division per stack

no general

[wary sparrow]

it really is super easy to just wipe out the allies and then the usa

[crimson knot]

500 ships vs 260 ships and ofcourse the Royal Navy still wins, i hate this game so much

[wary sparrow]

hoi4 players when navy

[crimson knot]

I started spamming ships since i became monarchy, and still cant defeat the british navy

I had ~400 ships, put them on strike froce, with like 50 destroyers on patrol, and they sank half of my ships, i barely sank their really old ships, now i have 580 ships, including 200 shitty subs

[wary sparrow]

ngl everytime i play germany i wipe out france, put my like 70 boats in the channel on patrol then quickly naval invade and blitz em

[crimson knot]

The whole reason im at war with the uk is because of Italy, which joined the allies, so did france put they left somehow so i declared on them and stole their navy

its 1946, and only now i noticed this lol

[wary sparrow]

soft attack does wonders to your casualties

[wraith mauve]

What’s a good post World War One mod

[wraith mauve]

Definition of skill vs spam

[woven gate]

i've been wondering this

[wraith mauve]

Like 1919

Or 1920

[woven gate]

The Great War (the original one) has a postwar part but it doesn't have a lot of content

Poland's fun in it though

[wraith mauve]

Ik one it’s called collapsing world but I’ve plade all Germany paths but no communist ones because I am bias

[wraith mauve]

Ya

[woven gate]

teaches you Manuever Warfare

[wraith mauve]

How so?

[woven gate]

i don't like communism either bruh

[woven gate]

you've gotta use your Cavalry to snake and move where the Soviets aren't instead of directly engaging them

[wary sparrow]

this template has a bunch of soft attack which i put on all my soldiers to defeat the sovs and americans

[left tusk]

i love getting juicy encirclements during the spanish civil war

[woven gate]

it makes you think ahead

[woven gate]

you could pump these out so fast as the US it'd be unstoppable

i might try it next game

[wary sparrow]

i literally have just a 5 army group maxed out with these and i just walked through europe

[wraith mauve]

Oh ok

[wary sparrow]

if i was rushing it i coulda beat soviets in 1940

[left tusk]

no wonder the chinese are losing

[woven gate]

1943 US could probably drop that many

i'll give it a try

that with air cover will just melt everything

[wary sparrow]

yay

[crimson knot]

I beat the UK, stole what remained of their navy and then i had to go to the toilet. i came back, and after the peace deal the game kept running. now im at war with the US faction, so the whole of the Americas, half of africa and Spain, while in my faction, is me, now the EU, the rest of europe which i havent annexed, China and the Timurid Empire, which controls all of India almost

[left tusk]

is this good or abysmal dogshit

[heavy vigil]

for what

[wary sparrow]

boom axis world domination

i was to lazy to invade norway and denmark

[tulip thorn]

Denmark flips to you anyway

Instant surrender

[heavy vigil]

and then you have to click buttons to annex them

[tulip thorn]

True

But what if you love clicking buttons

[left tusk]

a destroyer

[heavy vigil]

yes but what are you using it for

[left tusk]

idk

[heavy vigil]

like trying to win the naval war? did you start with the design and have no xp?

[left tusk]

idk tbh i just have spare dockyards

and not a whole lot of destroyers

[cunning saddle]

facts

[vale dagger]

id make that deal

[digital aurora]

I have to say the worst thing about the cap on how many staffed headquaters you can have is the fact you can't actually man all 4 soviet fleets

[icy egret]

“Gains core on North Slovenia” lol

[tulip thorn]

Wish i had core on north slovenia 😢

[digital aurora]

So turkey has its independence guaranteed by Romania, and Romania has their's guarenteed by France and Czechoslovakia, If i go to war with turkey will that snowball into france getting involved?

[tulip thorn]

no

if you declare on turkey

only romania will get involved

[fair horizon]

[fair horizon]

i love when i move my fleets and driveby them with a port strike

[tulip thorn]

Still havent found the hood....

Dont know where its hiding

nvm they capped

weird

[fair horizon]

usually in a port

just drive around the isles and put all your carriers on port strike

[tulip thorn]

Not allowed to sink it anymore

They did not have much of a navy left

[tulip thorn]

#server-rules

[grave mist]

oh

ty

[shut sigil]

You can delete it, no? Irl that has the same effect as sinking in

[tulip thorn]

Not as satisfying

Plus why would I delete perfectly good free ships

[shut sigil]

Ik but atp that's the closest to sinking that ship

Btw why does everyone want to sink it?

Never understood that

[tulip thorn]

Because its the british starting pride of the fleet

and very famous

Its also a achievement

[shut sigil]

Thank god my pirating ass doesn't care about that

Because

[atomic grove]

why would u say that

[tulip thorn]

Thats actually insane

Thats the first thing I do

[atomic grove]

you're in a server with a whole corporation

[tulip thorn]

Also your not going to get banned I dont think

[atomic grove]

idk how that makes sense for u to think that

[tulip thorn]

Just delete your message

And dont talk about it again

[atomic grove]

mods got him

[tulip thorn]

Damn

Rip

Well

You kinda get that coming when you dont read rules

Its pretty easy

Its like really easy to read rules

[heavy vigil]

huh

damn they left

[tulip thorn]

Oh they left

Damn

[crude schooner]

what are the consequences of talking about piracy btw? (I am NOT affiliated with piracy, just asking)

[gaunt moon]

guiding/enabling people to is a ban

[crude schooner]

ahem

[gaunt moon]

[tulip thorn]

Something doesnt seem right here

[heavy vigil]

[tulip thorn]

They secretly lead it

And the save keeps crashing

[heavy vigil]

corrupted prob

what day what hour does it crash

its its hour 03:00 its someone joining the war causing the crash

[tulip thorn]

[tulip thorn]

[heavy wind]

Ive been called a table-master in MP game the other day

What does it mean

Who is a table master

And why is it an insult

[tulip thorn]

Very fair battle

[heavy wind]

What is a table

In hoi4 MP terms

[heavy vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/table-photo-animated-gif-10417961

[heavy wind]

No but i gueniuenly want to know

[tulip thorn]

And there goes the rest of the french fleet

rip

[atomic grove]

do you have to do this for schwabist eu path? (russia is ruled by medvedev)

[heavy wind]

Tbh you dont have to do anything

But do it

Since federalization progress is a pain in the ass to get

There is a mod that shows how to get every path in TFR

Btw

[atomic grove]

u have to get as much federalization as possible before losing the european war?

[heavy wind]

I mean thats just optimal if you do

But its not neccesary

You need to do a certain path once you loose the war

Because there are 3 leaders to choose from

Look it up because I dont remember if its left or right economic path

Its not very intuitive

I belive it was the worse one

[left tusk]

china is getting absolutely violated by japan

[atomic grove]

ik

but do they require the focus?

or like a lot of fed?

nvm i realized

[vital cove]

do the allies not exist lol

that's usually what happens when the allies don't exist so focuses that make you join the allies make you join the us

[crude scroll]

can someone say to me how i need to play hoi4? i have 625 hours in steam but i can't do nothing , every country i want joins in alliances and there is great wars anywhere , what i should do?

[astral wedge]

@red robin yes we are still looking

[cedar lance]

hello yalls

🇪🇪 2041 the turmoil of ww3 enters its 27th month

🇪🇪 freedolist japanese storm shanghai

🇪🇪 freedolist estonia stands at the gates of moscow

i wanna do ww3 in MD as ESTONIA

[fair compass]

like always

[heavy wind]

Thats just kinda how the game works

You just have to go after the allies or some other gigantic faction at some point

Thats one of the issues i have with the game

[slim nexus]

I once had a china game in older versions of kaiserreich where india joined japan and cuf killed them and the russia invaded east turkestan so we killed em too after they won ww2 that was the craziest china game to this day ive had also japan lost later on

[late trout]

I killed the allies before the US joined the allies

and i was playing germany in a alternate path mod

[marsh comet]

After world tension builds over 25% the British or other democratic countries will guarantee independence, the British have the most powerful navy but army isn't number 1 but pretty strong.

[slim nexus]

hello everyone

[green lodge]

Chat is Brazil fun ?

[slim nexus]

i have a question about army

why should i add marshal

[green lodge]

Free buff

Do you not want at least 2.5% more atk, def, planning and supplies

[slim nexus]

omg really?

[fair horizon]

Commie is

[green lodge]

Yeah the four icons

Same for generals

[green lodge]

Nice, i haven't really played communist
something about fascism jsut attracts me

[slim nexus]

thx for help

[crude scroll]

So what i need to do ? I'm doing nothing , only economics but brits or others make the tension.

[tulip thorn]

Poland is going crazy

[woeful berry]

Femboy kingdom

[violet veldt]

Poland if the allies got their shit together and stalin let them cook:

[coral gorge]

[tulip thorn]

Indeed

[heavy vigil]

hi sheep, whats your fav warlord?

[violet veldt]

Honestly the only reason why the axis even got to take off is because everyone didnt immediantly quell them

[coral gorge]

either Khotan or Kumul

[heavy vigil]

i loved playing kumul

it feels so rewarding/fun

[woven gate]

Guangxi

[woven gate]

France could've packed up Nazi Germany in 1936 with relative ease

[violet veldt]

Yeah

Even combined allied- soviet incompotence wasnt enough to save them thankfully

The french and the british still contributed in taking them down

[woven gate]

i don't know if it's thankfully

[woven gate]

and then we came in and folded them with surprisingly low casualties

i guess that's the power of industry

[violet veldt]

Yeah when they were preoccupied with the soviets and the british

The british were ruling the seas and even the air

While the soviets were getting every man woman and child into the military

So many encirclements and yet they still outnumbered the shit out of a later teenage majority army

[woven gate]

i still think it's impressive

[violet veldt]

Soviets beat the shit out of the fascists with somewhat shitty tanks that they mass produced

[woven gate]

US industry was so cool

[violet veldt]

The us is the cleanup crew of the world wars

Join a war thats already won late and take all the credit

[fervent wadi]

chat

[violet veldt]

I admit that the american army is strong

But they dont take any risks

[fervent wadi]

novum vexillum vs milanium dawn

[violet veldt]

Even their founding, when they fought against an actually capable military force

They were half across the world

• terrain theyve never been to

[heavy wind]

Novum vexilium

Its just more fun

And runs better

[heavy vigil]

its more fun as "unintended" nations

[heavy wind]

Exactly

I mean millenium down is like

6 hours of setup

And then fight

[heavy vigil]

its pretty fun

[woven gate]

maybe i'm just patriotic

[heavy wind]

And has so much "Immersive" BS

[heavy vigil]

infantry is stupid OP

[woven gate]

i think we did a hell of a lot

[heavy vigil]

i was just annoyed because all pacific nations blow in the mod

like fiji has content

but its like

[undone pebble]

Do units with AA contribute to air superiority just by sitting around somewhere or do they need to be in combat

[heavy vigil]

ough

[woven gate]

it's not like thinking your own country is useless in a world war will make europeans not magically look down on you

[heavy wind]

They dont

[violet veldt]

I admit the lend leases were amazing

Thanks for that

[heavy wind]

They just reduce cas damage and air superiority stat in land combat

[coral gorge]

AA doesn't contribute to air superiority in the first place,

but divisions in reserve in battle, those that are not yet directly in combat, do contribute to anti air

[heavy wind]

Hope that helps

[violet veldt]

But when you look at why the americans didnt declare war on germany sooner its horrifying

[worn cliff]

thoughts on this?

[woven gate]

got you bruh

[worn cliff]

1939/1940 div

[heavy wind]

Dont use inf in tanks

[woven gate]

also the naval battles are pretty badass

[worn cliff]

my spgs are 4kmh

[woven gate]

if you don't wanna be american where do you wanna be?

[violet veldt]

Yeah your carriers are great

[violet veldt]

If i could pick my nationality

Id be mexican

[undone pebble]

huh they don't even shoot down planes? damn

[woven gate]

interesting pick

[heavy wind]

They shootdown cas during land combat

[woven gate]

if i wasn't American i'd be from Australia

[undone pebble]

cool, otherwise the aa does nothing?

[heavy wind]

Still no reason to use inf

[heavy wind]

No not really

Also use only AA support company

[coral gorge]

they do,

[worn cliff]

farms hp and org

look

38 org

[coral gorge]

well, anti-air is averaged of all divs in combat, even if in reserve

[worn cliff]

if u put mechs it would be like 30

[heavy wind]

Yeah but motorized inf does have that

And you dont loose as much div exp when switching to mech

[tulip thorn]

30 org is enough for pushing units

[green lodge]

War crime
replace the infantry with acv

[heavy wind]

Also mech have more hp+hardness

[green lodge]

cav

[heavy wind]

Which in singleplayer is like

Top 2 stat

[worn cliff]

this was a mp div

[green lodge]

Soft attack is top 1 chat

[worn cliff]

well it shreds like 15 divs infantry stacks

i don't need hardness i couple it with heavy tds

[heavy wind]

Hardness just reduces damage against soft attack tho?

You would loose less tanks overall

[tulip thorn]

[heavy wind]

Its a fun meme Div tho

[worn cliff]

yea true tbh i might make mech im just lazy tho icl

my industry was booming

[heavy wind]

I mean to them it looks like inf LOL

[worn cliff]

i always go P.E.G germany and get like 400 mils by barb

[modern torrent]

shut up mom im unifying china

[violet veldt]

History, culture, ezln, flag

[heavy wind]

Teach me your ways

[violet veldt]

Mexicans go through horrible conditions, on top of the cia funded cartels, i really look up to them especially if they live in mexico or former mexican territories occupied by the us

[worn cliff]

3 collabs on france belgium, justify on netherlands at the start of the game and get war reparations on indies, get every civ building buff out there, ruch austria and sudetenland

by like mid late 37 you should have 80 civs on construction

if u dont u did something wrong

by battle of france u should have 200 mils

[heavy wind]

Is it vanilla

[worn cliff]

then atleast 330 by barb but if you get more puppets like atleast 380

[woven gate]

they basically are american atp but they have my respect

[worn cliff]

yes

[heavy wind]

Alr

[woven gate]

anyone can be an american as i see it

[violet veldt]

Theyre americans but theyre not usamericans unless theyve lived here

Anyone whos lived in the us is a usamerican to me

Natives are americans

[woven gate]

i'm part native so i guess

[toxic cypress]

they call me the goat (i afked for 9 years and didnt do shit)

[violet veldt]

Brazillians are americans

Venezuelans are americans

[random sinew]

yall know any good modern mods, except for tfr and md

[toxic cypress]

sul americano > norte americano

[woven gate]

you ain't wrong

[toxic cypress]

oops

alot of typos

https://tenor.com/view/cat-laptop-typing-shit-posting-internet-gif-14350882

[violet veldt]

Anyways i think the cold war was the best war period for the us

[worn cliff]

wait nvm u should have 255 before the battle of france

[toxic cypress]

bad take

ww2 better

[sly venture]

yall rn I have battle for bosperous gotterdamerung and no step back do I get la resistance or by blood alone

feels like playing sandbox

[toxic cypress]

usa isnt even the most op

its the uk

https://tenor.com/view/british-british-empire-countryballs-country-humans-history-gif-4534512254373427845

[worn cliff]

early game sure

democratic uk is mid

[sly venture]

isn’t USA just build factory’s until 1941

[toxic cypress]

facist uk is THE strongest nation

cause u can core north america and commonwealthy by 1939

and then just take europe and core all of europe

3 continents cored

[woven gate]

hell yeah

[toxic cypress]

north america oceania and europe

[modern torrent]

LR is after that

[heavy vigil]

id rather have LaR tbh

[eternal palm]

Air designer is big

[heavy vigil]

big boring

[eternal palm]

But u don't play the game like anyone else

[fair horizon]

Air designer is for nerds

Miss me with that crap

[heavy vigil]

sometimes i do....

sometimes i dont...

[fair horizon]

(I really wish australia had a plane mio)

[heavy vigil]

it does

you just cant use it when going ahist

[eternal palm]

Naval designer?

[heavy vigil]

worse

[fair horizon]

DIRTY DEMOCRATIC AUATRALIA DOES

NOT FUN AUSTRALIA

[heavy vigil]

its locked behind not being free too iirc

like even if you cheat it in

[fair horizon]

If the australia dlc is bad im probs just not gonna play hoi4 anymore tbh

[heavy vigil]

can it be worse

actually, maybe

if its like chile its worse

imo

[fair horizon]

If they keep the war advisory council and the invest in victory focuses im just not gonna buy iy

[heavy vigil]

wdym

inveat in victory is peak

[fair horizon]

If im locked out of my research slots until 1939 its over

[tulip thorn]

Poland just decided to lock in this game

[heavy vigil]

watch

australia first nation to start with 1 slot

actually thats prob be nzl but whatever

[fair horizon]

They did that in one of my games, second largest superpower with like 700 destroyers

[heavy vigil]

poland actually isnt ai restricted

like france

[fair horizon]

Actually nvm they can keep those terrible focuses if they let me core java for no reason

[heavy vigil]

have you tried cheating

if you do the dutch colonial focuses the state modifier stays

[fair horizon]

No because thats cheating

[heavy vigil]

so you get manpower

more manpower

[heavy vigil]

i cheat

[fair horizon]

tbh java is like a million manpower just for making it compliant so

[heavy vigil]

cant wait for the fiji focus tree

mildawn has it

why not vanilla

[left tusk]

a lovely KDR

For every 10k we lose they lose 100k

[fair horizon]

Cant wait for the next dlc to come out so people complain about america again

[heavy vigil]

beat mine

[fair horizon]

Is that from convoy raiding?

[heavy vigil]

no thatd be more moral

[left tusk]

https://tenor.com/view/vesuvius-baby-baby-ash-gif-2339947883921805569

[heavy vigil]

hundreds of nukes and air trading

air trading is why the 2K losses

[fair horizon]

Using planes cost me like 100k australians before i decided i dont care about using planes ngl

[heavy vigil]

this is more realistic this was without nukes

germany can do better

because its germany

[heavy vigil]

planes are good

if you have the research for them

[fair horizon]

Now my planes only exist to defend my oil fields because i cant trade

[heavy vigil]

vendrip when are we doing anzac mp for fun

[fair horizon]

Yeah but without a plane mio even when i outnumber them they just mulch my planes

[heavy vigil]

i didnt have that issue because i made better planes

[fair horizon]

When you want to play at speed 3 (if we're lucky) because my internet is garbage

[heavy vigil]

im fine with that

you can host so itd be your 5 speed

[fair horizon]

I just made good marines tbh

[heavy vigil]

unless your upload speed is bad

then dont host

tho it should be the same?

[fair horizon]

Nah my upload is the issue

I live in the middle of nowhere so the options are pretty terrible here

[heavy vigil]

damn that sucks

[fair horizon]

Anyways im going to bed so gn hoi4 chat

[heavy vigil]

gnnn

[viscid swift]

guys does AI poland ever do this focus?

[green lodge]

Uh it never does on historical that's for sure

[toxic cypress]

steiner will counter attack

[visual pasture]

the AI is sometimes... questionable...

[slim nexus]

the dishonor

[spark lava]

Ts why i hate playing non historical

[runic spoke]

am i the only one who doesnt like navy rework

i feel like navy just got more tedious

i was hoping for a more fundamental rework that would make building ships actually worth but its still just nav bomber spam it looks like

[spark lava]

Same

It got more complicated

[runic spoke]

its just more annoying now

especially having to split navies to patrol multiple areas for supremacy

and the naval hq stuff

i dont wanna be bothered

[left tusk]

good news paris is in sight

SWITZERLAND WHY?!?!

[left tusk]

oh shit double good news we just finished off the french

[violet veldt]

Okay i agree with you partially

[heavy vigil]

sheep mod update today

[violet veldt]

My take about ww2 was theres no good guys during it, only bad guys- the axis.

[heavy vigil]

not yet fully out but bugfix is

[toxic cypress]

i think there was a pretty good guy and its name is brazil

[violet veldt]

You can say things about allied atrocities but the axis just outdoes their evil at least tenfold

[violet veldt]

Idk enough about brazil during ww2 to verify

[toxic cypress]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_in_World_War_II their already winning so lets just join

[toxic cypress]

they literally saw allies winning and said lets join em

literally 0 reason to join

[heavy vigil]

a lot of nations did this in 45

[toxic cypress]

they did it for the vibe

[toxic cypress]

thats why i said brazil only

lame turkey joining basically after winning

[violet veldt]

This is mixed

[toxic cypress]

brazil did it before it was 100%

[violet veldt]

Pure opportunity or to make sure that the axis's graze is dug?

[heavy vigil]

even egypt joined

[toxic cypress]

italy lol

[heavy vigil]

liberia was the first nation to join the allies (in 1944)
