part of the strongest empire in the world gameplay
the axis collapsing and i cant even get the achievement I was aiming for because my puppet occupies a state i need to occupy and wont give it to me
🤤
britian wont let me have ceylon
gm
annex them
mass produce convoys
that's noob shit
what you actually do
is beg for convoys lend lease from other nations
and then give it to your puppets
or your overlord if you wanna get free

Cool flags tbh
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RL32aXAUw5s people invading ethiopia be like
so i declared on britian
and now im in a defensive war
how
ah thanks venezuela
I HATE THIS TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
how
I wish I could play the newest hoi4 update Patch but...
It has...
The coal
COAL
COAL!
And I do not wish to run my nation with FILTHY COAL
Sound like an environmentalist without context lol
Why is you, poland
jubilant and round poland
dissappears at times but comes back even more angry than before
Can someone tell me where Hungary gets overthrow the ruling government war goals on every nation on the planet?
I deadass just got into a war with the entire world because of it as the US.
what the happened here
I also checked their focus tree an there is nothing.
cortisol spike just for cheesy achievement
It’s very strong
its very dead
We won against Germany and now the French have dragged us all into a war with the soviets
lore accurate french
im planning something big
Hi indonesia :3
why did they add a india world conquest achievement 🙏
get wrecked british
QUIT HIDING FROM ME
Paid back in full for what they did to RNS Australia
ai peace treaties go hard
that looks like spain in 867 on ck3
holy
metalpipe.mp3
Is grand assault or infiltration tactics good as greece?
why do puppets do this
welp now i have to repair my battlecruisers
british fleet gots hands
Not as many hands as the american fleet
the american navy is a joke ngl
Grand assault or desperate defence
tell that to my 300+ ship navy that didnt lose a single crusier or bb or cv 😼
america lost plenty of carriers during ww2 wym,,
we talkin hoi4 here bud >:(
oh well im not fighting the usa currently but i usually scrap them easily
britian on the other hand likes to use carriers
and they use them well
Problem with AI america is just
theres like 900 of those shios
but when im at the helm
he
he
Wella ctually
I lowk spammed the hell out of DDs and Cruisers
i like beating up the major navies as a minor
which is all i needed to ratio the crappy italian and japanese tugboats
parry my 60 dds in a single fleet you filthy casual.
japanese ai is programmed to lose
How do you GENUINELY only get 60 DDs
british and americans build navies
Yeah why only 60
I had easily 20 fleets combined into 8
thats only like 40k ic
Because
wym
I had alot of zones to cover
should be 100
so I had to split into multiple fleets
So you fought your enemy with only one fleet
I mean it's ai you could build subs and still kill screens somehow
No.
I fought
with 20 fleets
anyone can fight with 20 fleets
im beating the british with garbage i built
Nav bombers?
no, far worse
my scrap iron flotilla
navy fighters
Ohhhhh
navy fighters go hard ngl
Not a soul uses this shit
not as hard as real planes but doctrines go brrr
how tf do you get to that screen
Istg I want some action,.
I'm gonna find a way to fight britan
I want the most elegant naval combat in the world.
nice
peak paradox coding
so peak
Kaiserredux is so peak
i am still wondering how there is no updated modding tool for hoi4
best we have are extensions for vscode
which are.. to put it lightly, very lacking
carriers ❤️
Long live the Transcaucasian Republic
nothing beats a bunch of supercruisers
ok totally give me a second
Did I do well?
what did you do to poland :(
kaiserredux ahh map
the long invasion
Jesus
Are fallback lines even useful?
Wish hoi4 simulated the battle of the atlantic better
As of in the game its moer like the battle of nothing
Germany never even tries to do anything to the allied supply lines
if you get full naval supremacy around the uk and keep that supremacy you should be able to lower their surrender limit
so whats the point of torpedo cruisers?
Very
They also automatically make your troops strat redeploy
Yeah but what do they do??
its like drawing a frontline
except its not at the border
and you cant do stuf like draw offensive lines etc
I thought it was where units just 'fellback' (hence the name) to if they were losing on the frontline
eh
it doesnt really work like that
if they lose the frontline theyll just move back but the frontline order stays
you can
you can delete the frontline
and then they'll fall back once you order them to take the position
note: they WILL counterattack immediately if the line is breached, which can cause a lot of unneeded death
here comes the legions of supply stealers
amtrac divisions?
allies
Wait that focus to form austria hungary actually works?
Did you play on historical or no
I figured stuff like the austro fascism spirit would stop them from flipping ideaology
I turned off a historical AI
someone explain how someone is still able to consume supply if ive turned ally supply off?
Also i have done it before with historical AI before but only once so yeah
Huh
Meanwhile I am stuck trying to work out how to break germany as austria hungary
Pretty sure planes plus ai templates are the main issue stopping me there
Again
Didnt have an industry
So no planes
And I cant force aa into puppet units
That i needed to steal in order to not die
This probably works better on non historical
Since well, anchluss
Yeah
guess where i was fighting based off my railways map
Because for some unknown reason to me
The austro hungarian vassals
Dont, give, factories
Hm
Austria itself, is tiny, and doesnt have the factories to realistically keep up with making guns
And planes
Yeah
Its not even, I wasnt trying to use anti air
The problem is that i cant add that, to the templates you get via request forces
Yea
Yea
I had a production line for that
Oh and of course
Austria is stuck with 12 width units
12 width is tiny
And just gets ground up by the 18 width german units
But austria has, manpower issues
What I would do is try to hold the lines with bunkers and stuff and try to make the German manpower drain to nothing which could take forever but yeah
OH so the ai is screwing you over
Usually their equipment cracks first
But it still makes them beatable
Did u make Austria-hungry with hungry or Austria?
And i havent quite figured out how to drag the allies into that situation
Austria
Hungary instead you get decced on over the sudetenland
I know
Because i tried that too
Okay so I don’t have all of the DLC so the game so I don’t know what the force tree looks like or how good it is?
I actually didn’t know u could use Austria to make the Austrian-Hungarian empire lol
Yeah
Both austria and hungary can form it
The problem is turning yourself from whimpy
Since both start with god awful spirits
And low manpower and industry
Yeah I guess that it’s just I can only do it with Hungary
Yeah
This is my first China playthrough, How do I even begin defending this? The game thinks I am supposed to have 80-90 divs when I have 32. I can't even train new ones because I am -30k in deficit in inf equipment. And I am supposed to train 90 in under 120 days or else I will get -10 war support and -10 org+-10 defense
But only having austrias industry
This is 2 months into the war
Jesus Christ
Is not nearly capible
Is november 1937
Good, god
HOW ;w;
They couldnt even naval invade yet
They broke through the north
I had around 18 defending in the north because I didnt realize China was so weak
At start
Havent actually played china myself but how I handled the invasion myself was to naval invade
And slam into shandong
That is while playing japan
Hmm
Your situation is basically japans best outcome
Yea
Which lets you puppet everything
And get so much industry early
China has industry, its just split between all the little chinas
And the big one
So the big one cant leverage all of it
If u wanted to do a Chinese campaign I would start again and try to build up as fast as possible and make a lot of bunkers but idk if that would help
Yea u right
Japan cannot sustain that war
So I guess just build up a lot of military factories
China has a stupidly deep manpower pool, and is like the soviets where they have to march all the way to chongqing to cap china
Yeah
You basically cannot hold all of china
Ofc
You more just need to hold enough to not die
Even then thats still a long front, but if you dont die early china easily outscales japan
More states, more mils
More war equipment
also as we are talking about china wtf happened here most of asia is at war with japan even russia
Thats why ai japan stalls out i think
yeah i think ur right
Its not that japan doesnt make china bleed for it
But the ai has such an issue actually breaking them
Puyi has to lock in
Seen upwards of 4m dead chinese troops if it drags out
Attritioning china out of men is, not doable
Yeah he does
Unless you want to either use nukes, or wait for like 20 years
oh god it looks worse the most I look at it
Jesus christ
Monarchist germany, or germany is very easy
If you dont make two major misteps I have found hurt monarchist germany, very badly
You try to do war stuff too early
Yeah
Since you need to raise up a fully equipped army group first
For, basically anything you want to do
And, forgetting to up conscription during the civil war
If you dont, you lose like a million manpower
yeah i dont think this war will end anytime soon.
That germany makes great use of when you dont rush
and give your troops actual guns to use
Yeah ofc
Yeah, unless they pick a fight with the us
Assuming you didnt cap them also
Uhm
They aint beating the IJN
The kaiser got hungry for colonies
Yep
Yea
and the IJN has better ships than the RM
Period
Italy cannot break the IJN with how the ai uses fleets
Hell the IJN can break the royal navy 1v1
Japan has powerful battleships
And carriers
Italy has no carriers
here is the proof
You probably missed like fiji or something
But somehow THEY have the American focus tree so
Yeah I did ;w;
But I am not mad the name kinda cool tho
Paul von lettow vorbeck is also a good general
Very good
Kinda annoying only monarchist germany gets him
Yeah but it makes sense
i like him because he has a cool hat
no other reason
REAL
Hell yea
ALSO I somehow got the choice to make the central powers into NATO because of my American puppet
you should do it it'd be pretty funny
no not really, it's basically when you are the most powerful non-communist faction i believe
doesn't matter if you're in faction with the us or not
I just have never seen the option before
So I just assumed it was because America
i also didnt know that was an option
Also I hate how Austria left the central powers before it became imperialist nato
That peoples front would be so annoying to cap
YEAH ;w; ima try tho
Just force puppet it
Maybe that’s not a bad idea
But it’s really like the Cold War now it’s funny to me to be real
But also I do have the Americans tho.
I kinda wish nukes could cap a country like what happened in real life with Japan (I know the Americans were dangerously close to the main land of Japan just saying tho)
i think russia just nuked sussex
Jesus also why is the English blue
the facsists won the civil war
appeasement is kinda fun
guys
so like if germany just didnt attack poland or smth then they'd be like this fr
nah what are those borders
if wonder what the radiations is, i may or may not have eradicated the romanian population of that area with nukes
teehee
hungarian spotted
france fought a 3 year old civil war against the commies only to get gang'd up by me and fall in less than 4 months
nowhere near close to the most ugly borders ive seen
and the netherlands declare war on me
with 12 divisions
while i had 24 divisions on their border, waiting
japan conquered all of asia and is still probably gonna lose
i basically degloved, mutilated, killed and boiled the dutch alive
stupid AI
belgian spotted
the dutch with only 12 divisions after losing to the british vs a 150ish maned army of germany
Oh I know same but still there is two of them ;w; in the same faction
mongolia is so great they wanted two of them
💯💯
i had to deploy 3 nukes on italian soil to cap them out of the war
roma doesnt exist, and the tile itself only had 450,000 core pop after the nukes fell
Very
same with venetia
best doctrine perk in the entire game
Jesus Christ
i love causing nuclear armaggedon on inocent countries
killed 1M people in total after fighting poland, romania, yugo and italy together
plus, 4 nuclear bombs dropped
Real same
ALSO why only 13-30 divisions like they have a lot of man power
w poland
macarthur speechbubble
DAMN
Planned on launching nukes on London but the RAF had the skies guarded
Muhuhhyae
They were later defeated
What that one single Russian peasant saw before getting vaporized by the bomb:
I couped Germany in 1937 and it became a republic and joined allies
I degloved the Netherlands alive
They thought they could defeat me with 12 divisions
Bro is not bitt3rsteel
And then I ripped them in half and puppeted then
We defeated the remaining axis in February 1945
The axis in my run is no more
Because we are the pact of Danubia
And I also gave Hungary her lands back
happy Ungarn
remove china from hoi4
irrelevant country
romanian spotted
And the soviets were already fighting a civil war bc my coup
Hideki Tojo speech bubble
nearly 5k hours in game has not touched china once
So we killed them in a little over a year
china basically zero resources
murki I need you
but lots of kids
Just get a resource mod from the workshop
?
I need you
when hoi5
tomorrow
ok
In what way..?
Charles de Gaulle awakens from his grave and rewards us with a copy of hoi5
romania good country
I need you now.
i held out against ussr and germany for 6 yrs
No, Ungarn good country
For what?
they weak
usa jus peak do nothing and build
I just need you, with me.
ussr is peak kill ur kids and win
Ungarn
i agree
Why that
usa economy too power
Because I like you/j
USA literally easier to play than Switzerland
get a billion kids into the coal mines
and get infinite coal supplies
me when im at war with usa and have 0 steel or oil
Actually 🥹
woah buddy
Yes 🥹
we dont use that word here
im first to be killed in human vs clanker

Sleep
I only got hoi4 because I like history
i agree
Nice draw lad
why is hoi4 community goat
My camera was shake
because real men
historical? no. a historical? i prefer like czechs or austria or hungary
In my current Austria hungary playthrough Italy declared on Swiss and after We defeated Germany before deleting the Italians the french went to war with the soviets for no reason
I love Karl I
They liked me as soon as I disolved my own faction
So they made me join allies thank god
If only france wasnt stupid
Actually mad they made it so I had to fight on 4 fronts
I want to clap Hetalia Italy so bad bro ong
I love it
Aaaand thank you french
might have to play Germany again just to clap Italy rn
would
Woah
I'm the true horrors of war for the French
It was so much better before the French declared on USSR unprovoked 🥹😭
Missing the unfrench days
Im sleep now
I just found the best cheese strat
i just sent my battleships from ethopia to murmansk without escorts :)
Hello stalin

It seems the mod team went off the rails….
Yep
hello yalls
hello chat
hello olive
yo mud do you ever play any multiplayer 👀

Commnuism on top
1 message hidden from likely spammer
Gg
democratic's fun til you can't do shit until war
democratic is fun says the major player
i love being a democratic minor with 0 manpower
chat i lost 2 ships to mines
i didnt even know you could
2 destroyers 😭
the democratic minors are too
no
There's a certain feeling to "yes, this costs a heinous amount of rubber, but consider the following: I recently acquired Indonesia."
how does one just accquire indonesia?
What’s the best ideology
Commnuism or
Democracy
I main communism
For the manpower
The Allies decided to be weirdly aggressive, then Vietnam and Laos came begging to me for protection.
They then graciously decided to poorly garrison the region gift Indonesia to me.
how nice of them to gift you indonesia :)
dayum
HOLY HELL??
non aligned
wrong, and only because i really like marx zombies
counter argument
So, the Chinese Soviet Republic being stupid and threatening war on my Indochina allies got me thinking: has anybody ever used paratroopers to conquer a country they have no sea or land routes to? In theory, they could be supplied by a ridiculous amount of air transports.
portrait fits
chat rate the div
also dont mind the shovels
i was too lazy to make armored shovels
line artillery?
but then just use the pure mech for defense?
its not for defense
this seems like something that can compleatly stop D-Day
its to support my tanks pushing
ohh i thought its a line filler
its to hold the line and do damage if i need to attack from multiple tiles
cant you just remove the line arty and and a tank battalion?
if my industry wasnt so bad i guess so but then it would be pushing so
what are you doing with this division? mechwalling?
just to support my tank division pushes
like to expand combat width while actually doing something
when do i unlock medium armament for tanks
alr
you're not a real navy player if you dont know what this symbol means
hungary demands habsburg subjugation even tho im the habsburg
they somehow went down this path
Uhm
supersonic jets with heavy machine guns
like cheap design does this much damage
which one
chiang please get your shit together im trying to win your war 🙏🙏
is this that one cold war mod?
where u gotta get shanghai to hold
or ur doomed
(as nationalist china)
i'm not playing chiang but im trying to
not make them lose faster
is this a good tank (yes i changed it to support company)
funny thing
unless nationalist china somehow gets shanghai to hold
i got the pop-up for that but nothing happened
they are 100% unironically going to always lose
shanghai stood?
i got the pop-up for mao declaring victory
normally at this point he would annex almost every ROC state
but they're still here
what's your consumer goods
bet
i thought MEFO bills were supposed to eat up your consumer goods
yeah
down option gives u recovering economy
but by that
they mean 75% consumer goods
and shittier production
now
permanently
how do i use paratroopers
chiang i am telling you to lock the shit in
u need 50 transport planes
to use paratroopers
1 paratrooper div requires atleast 50 planes to land
if you keep moving this im lowkey sliming your ass like nguyen
france could just attack me rn and slime me out
why use paratroopers when u have navy
what is your plan here
you see
paratrooper can go over land yes
boats famously cannot
trust the plan bro
i don't
what is the advantage of having all of your divisions on a giant line strking through saxony
why dont you have czechia?
trust the plan bro
trust the plan bro
what is your bloody plan
the plan could be shoving my head in a meat grinder and feeding me to the dogs
you could have all of czechia for a year at this point
Is there a mod which colours the different types of planes so its easier to see a differenece betweeen CAS, Fighters and such on the map?
my plan is that i kinda forgot to built an army
how do you even forget that
i was making a crazy template
you didnt even send volunteers anywhere
then i was like holy shit its almost 1939
forgot to pause the game
rookie mistake smh
you can get czechs in 37
\no i was pausing
well its 1938 so you probably didn't
year and a half rather
i remember being able to do early war with france like early, maybe mid 37
so its gotta be before that
i can take the uk i think
via focus tree i think the earliest was around mid 37
if i lock in
if you don't have an army you probably don't have a navy lmao
your bloodline better start praying then 🙏
chiang i need you to lock in
great it just snowed
what are you doing here MOVE
does anyone know an great guide for forming the eternal north swedish empire?
chiang i hope you know you're an utter buffoon
ngl bro ON EVERYONES SOUL I CAN TAKE THE UK
Holy law suit
Whats that mod called again
OMG ITS AUGUST 1939 ALREADY
lock in mate
Roblox 💔
here comes uncle sam
The only good thing to come out of roblox was guts and black powder, everything else is mid
Twin what is that mod
Everything else is mid and sucks
Roblox used to have some bangers
Novum Vexillum?
Now its just a bunch of slop
clearly you havent played brainrot RNG
bait used to be believable
Im trying to guess what you are playing 💔
its 1950 mate 🙏
I will admit, its the only modern day mod I dont hate
Yes WHAT is the mod called
road to 67?
Its sub mod still works
💀
which
alright its november
Isnt that mod made for version like 0.1
ww2 started kinda late
hey ike can we get an ICBM headed their way
idk
The sub mod that adds alot of mid focus trees
whats it called
Novum Vexillum Global Conflict
maybe wouldve been useful during my like 3 games as Fiji
which like
couldve played mildawn
it does have content in mildawn
Are they a bunch of focus trees that allow luxembourg to get the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world and end the human race
but the enemies have literally no armies and the content is like actual torture
oh man losing all the stab
no pp gain
Millenium dawn has too much slop for my liking
only modern day mod i play regularly is TFR
Like NO i do not want to launch satellites
its an alright mod if you wanna inf battleplan
make a run for it
Runs way to bad for me to even give it a fair chance
Same
Trucking to moscow 💔
not like they're gonna notice
Its like 1 day every 5 seconds on 5 speed
The game just constantly crashes for me
Ive never had md crash on me before but i havent let the game run long enough for it to happen
novum is also silly
dempsey did you see that vid where the guy talked about revisionism in mods
I seen that video
no
oh here comes china
novum vexillum does less revisionism than like vanilla
Was he talking about the ww1 mod
my troops lowkey walked though poland
Thats normal
for a few patches
for anyone who doesnt know
xp gain was actually 0.06 - 0.09 per advisor in your high command, but all slots would give xp
Yeah he was crap talking top 5 mods oat; The great war redux
Which is something i cannot stand for
so like day you want mil xp
youd get your high command guy obviously
but he gives less individually
beating france is impossible
its just you can stack it with up to 3 more
I dont like great war redux even in the slightest
they legit
Beating france is easy
broke thru 10 medium panzer divisions
I dont understand this system, like how do i make it go up
I quite enjoy it every now and again
Be stronger
france crazy resistnace
so as turkey you can do the kemal people or the traditionalists and i never know which one should i do when?
Would you care showing the medium panzer divisions in question
no italy u will not steal my war score
Depends on what you wanna do. If you want ottomans, do the traditionalist, if not then kemalists
okay so traditionalists are for the ottoman path and kemalists for every other way i wanna play?
become stronger. Also, dont request troops from your allies
As non aligned ye
that lowers your influence
what if i go communist or something?
Since every ideology has access to all diplomatic branches
yes
oh got hundreds of them to defend coast
just dont request troops from like your puppets because that takes influence from you
The flavour is a little different but fundamentally you have the same diplo Branches
And because they suck
Like horribly
what do i change for the invasion of the soviets
Oh and they take war score from you too
Change the inf into tanks
Remove 3 inf, remove the maintenance
before the update I would regularly do that
Add logi
just dont call them in?
why 22 width?
It's still shit though
yeah but they arent useless for like garisson in africa or something
do i replace the inf with anything
or wars against like liberia
technically its really good to take their troops
Waste of combat width
because theres a bug
They pretty much are
also what about anti tank
when equipment gets upgraded, say gun 2 -> gun 3
Useless AI doesn't do tanks
Not good ones anyhow
the old equipment goes into the stockpile of the nation who controls the unit
k
so having lots of puppet divisions under your control can end up being quite a bit of free equipment
Have you ever seen chinese light tanks
but first let me slime out the uk rq
Use self propelled arty instead and make some cas
France is way weaker than Germany in HOI4
uh, thanks france?
This game is worse than RoN on roblox lol.
22k:395k against poland
RoN can be great but i have lost interest in roblox in general due to everything happening (especially after the age group thing they added)
I meant that this game is worse than RoN which is a HOI4 inspired game.
and i just said it can be good
thanks?
They really like you apparently
wait, isnt that facist australia or something?
could also be hellas but looks like facist australia
won't the new guns draw from your stockpile tho?
YES BRO YHES
they equip it
oh
i thought when you take troops you use your equipment/manpower for them
well ai takes years to upgrade to gun 3 anyways
by the time they upgrade from gun 2 to 3 gun 2 won't be that useful to me
just for garrison or something
Dont let them reinforce the borders
its an example
if that happens, it will take a while
it goes for any upgraded equipment, also if its just MIO
Hi there, i want to play hoi 4 multiplayer, i just played once hoi4 multiplayer like 2 years ago. I'm hosting now but I prefere to join, anyways, anyone wants to join?
HAHAHAHAHA
no nazi flags/imagery please.
I want to play hoi4 online ( normal game , no mods ) anyone?
You gotta ask or look in #alt-history-multiplayer #historical-multiplayer
Change the conscription law
im at extensive
Go up
The debuff isn't as bad as being out of manpower
any focus to help?
fascist australia
No just go up in conscription law
i crashed oput so i had to save scum one time
Imma need some tips
First
Barbarosa or invade uk
Its like early 40
I dont have much manpowrr
Invade uk
Won’t have to worry with naval invasions
Id take mainland and puppet the rest
puppet is what I do
Puppeting gives manpower?
and its a VANILLA flag
no it makes you not spend manpower
no garrisons
We still dont want it in the server
Not in all versions of the game
not in the german probably
Yeah
btw what do I take
what the hell
Everything you can
Are the British going to invade France before dday
I have almost no man power
is this div good
you get more manpower from annexing than garrison cost
the division soft atk stat is not the only thing that matters
Yea so inf really doesn't have stats. For the stats arty gives it's really not good, it's expensive and the width is also terrible
If it was 1w it would be better but it's not so
but it cost a lot, gives terrain debuffs, doesn't give hp, org, defence or breakthrough, reduces recovery rate, doesn't give much soft atk compared to cost
Inf wins with org and hp not pure stats
its finally over
alr so ill remove one art
