[vital cove]

its kinda too repeating
need more diversity

[proud tapir]

it needs

ORG

[heavy vigil]

like this?

[heavy vigil]

sorry

[vital cove]

add rocket arty and AT
and add another line of elephants or something

[heavy vigil]

i fixed it

[vital cove]

now you're cooking

[silk fern]

perfect division

[heavy vigil]

make sure to use that in your next playthrough

[vital cove]

add lang cruiser support company tho

[haughty axle]

is there tutorials anyone can recommend when it comes to division design? im still pretty new to the game and i dont know jack shit

[heavy vigil]

i dont have the tech

[vital cove]

its goated

smh

[zenith charm]

please let me out

[obsidian sigil]

Where irregular

Why do you have good support companies

Heli brigade

[heavy vigil]

irregular is actually good

[heavy vigil]

its all i have

[obsidian sigil]

Militia?

[heavy vigil]

its all i have

[obsidian sigil]

Italian irregulars cant be good i swear

[heavy vigil]

italian ones arent

but theyre 30 hp per batallion for cheaper than normal inf

so if you have a large div theyre great

[obsidian sigil]

Does this mean

Ethiopia run?

irregular only

[heavy vigil]

ethiopia has good irregulars

their industry just kinda is bad

[safe wing]

which is accurate

[heavy vigil]

and research time is cooked

[heavy vigil]

american

[obsidian sigil]

Yeah its the only halfway interesting country besides italy with irregulars

[heavy vigil]

afghanistan and mengkukuo are right there

[obsidian sigil]

I would rather boil myself alive than play afghanistan

[safe wing]

don't forget Switzerland

[heavy vigil]

afghanistan is great

[obsidian sigil]

Militia

Not irregular

[flint widget]

44 mils from one focus

[obsidian sigil]

What country

[flint widget]

france little entente

[safe wing]

France

[obsidian sigil]

Graveyard of sanity

[heavy vigil]

chile has a civ version of this

[obsidian sigil]

lobotonistan

[heavy vigil]

play elite difficulty afghanistan and the production line will stun you

[safe wing]

because a country having severe economic woes could totally give 22 countries militatary factories

[vital cove]

if you're playing Afghanistan and not using elephants you're playing the game wrong

[heavy vigil]

i played afghanistan before they got those im old,,

[cyan prairie]

the feeling of smashing the allied ddays skull

[heavy vigil]

communist path fun

i played it before update too tho

[flint widget]

nah i ate the german economy

we didnt learn from ww1 did we

[safe wing]

France didn't full on intervene in the Spanish civil war because of economic problems and political problems

[obsidian sigil]

biologists not understanding how affhanistan summoned 100k endangered/extinct elephants in 2 yrs

[vital cove]

[safe wing]

also Carthage, Seleucid Empire, and Parthians in Rome Total War

[obsidian sigil]

In the punic wars hannibal rode like the last syrian elephant

[safe wing]

you can make full on elephant armies for 200 in game years without damaging the population somehow

[obsidian sigil]

And yet elephants are seen as this common thing in ancient era

[safe wing]

same in Rome 2

[heavy vigil]

sorry i only play nations when theyre peak interesting

ethiopia is still interesting but its like ough

they made it like impossible to hold macalle whats even the point

i dont wanna retreat further :(

[obsidian sigil]

Always bet on italian incompetence

[heavy vigil]

they can push macalle pretty consistently now

[safe wing]

Italian incompetence doesn't exist in 270 bc yet

fighting Rome is rough in Rome Total War

[heavy vigil]

also if you dont know ethiopian geography (who even are you???) macalle is 2 tiles into tigray

[cyan prairie]

last pieces of d day btw

[safe wing]

i do somewhat because of the story I'm writing as Gondar is battle in the midwar of the fictonal war I'm writing

[trim lotus]

Do they have an active mission?

[fair horizon]

are they able to do the mission?

[gentle cloak]

Ew no

Hey Livadeia

[obsidian sigil]

Its breaking something

[maiden bolt]

lowkey i think its the technology mod

[heavy vigil]

is cav viable now chat

[obsidian sigil]

no shit lol

I could tell instantly

[viscid mason]

When was cav viable lmao?

[dusky burrow]

kuwait moment

[heavy vigil]

they get camels

im doing a camel run

[obsidian sigil]

Only for like 4 contries

[heavy vigil]

idk how to get mils or freedom though

[viscid mason]

Yes camel is the new meta

[heavy vigil]

itll be a learning process

[woeful knoll]

How is cav bad

[heavy vigil]

a learning experience

[woeful knoll]

every time cav is used it gets crazy buffs

[obsidian sigil]

Shit base stats

[woeful knoll]

everything else its a fast infantry

[heavy vigil]

do i start with dockyards or do i rely on ahist uk rng

[obsidian sigil]

U need a poland focus tree

[viscid mason]

Enlighten me on why cav is meta lol. I think bikes are better because they get inf bonuses

[dusky burrow]

it's basically more expensive inf with worse terrain bonuses and basically no doctrinal buffs unless you go for one specific doctrine

[maiden bolt]

R.I.P that was my favorite mod 😥

[dusky burrow]

it is faster and has more org though

[viscid mason]

Idk if fwsv is joking or not.

So im taking it as either or

[dusky burrow]

also cavalry doesn't grind for doctrines because paradox

[heavy vigil]

new meta

[dusky burrow]

time to overrun iraq

[viscid mason]

Best suppression method

[maiden bolt]

overthrow*

[obsidian sigil]

umamusume ww2

[heavy vigil]

i have manpower for 1 of them

but no factories

i think ill go for 400 weekly men, then mils , then gun, then mils, then dock, then research slots

[dusky burrow]

basically yeah

[heavy vigil]

helper how fix

[viscid mason]

Did you try putting mils on guns lol

[heavy vigil]

i dont have those

[viscid mason]

Game ruined restart from scratch. You civ greeded to much /s

[heavy vigil]

kuwait is not a good nation to play btw

2 formables tho

[dusky burrow]

i know exactly what you're trying to do here

[dusky burrow]

at that rate just play iraq since they also have those same formables

[heavy vigil]

i hope the UK will take pity on me

[heavy vigil]

but they dont have hot dude leader

like he looks good compared to like all other leaders

[woeful knoll]

Just use paratroopers bro

France paradrop

[heavy vigil]

im a puppet and cant civil war

[vital cove]

2 more states in the second formable over the first btw

[woeful knoll]

Get a good uk roll on non historical

[heavy vigil]

big

[heavy vigil]

im doing this run, random ai

either RNG is with me or i suffer

[vital cove]

cooler name tho!

[heavy vigil]

uk is going ahist

it might not be over

[woeful knoll]

they need to go decolonize i think

[viscid sleet]

hey question, im the protectorate of Denmark now, what are the best ways to lower autonomy and do these decisions help lower?

[heavy vigil]

im doing arabia last

btw

[vital cove]

smh

[woeful knoll]

Build in them

[heavy vigil]

saudi arabia has aura now

you can form arabia and then do the starting decision to become saudi arabia again

but with more cores

oman can do it too but oman isnt aura

like oman has irl aura but not in game aura

[viscid sleet]

do the decisions help lower? bringing them into war help? asking for troops?

[woeful knoll]

Another trash focus with a unique flag that doesnt change your name

"rebranding" and u dont rebrand

[woeful knoll]

idk

look at them

denmark is just a pain tbhy

i would rather annex them

[dusky burrow]

you can build in their territory

you can also lend lease equipment

[heavy vigil]

uk going communist its a high roll day

always gamble

[silk fern]

all of grifonias tanks in one encirclement 🙏

[heavy vigil]

gbp or mobile warfare for the kuwait camel build chat

[viscid mason]

why should I use mobile warfare for camel? does it give good doctrine bonuses for camel?

[heavy vigil]

speed

i dont need good stats its ok

ill do mobile

[distant knoll]

Bum ass game

Smh

[heavy vigil]

true

[woeful knoll]

were elephants nerfed

and do cav bonuses allply to elephants

[distant knoll]

They were nerfed like 2 days after elephants were released

[woeful knoll]

are they still goo

good

[heavy vigil]

goo

[fair horizon]

Mobile warfare LETS GOOOO

[safe wing]

I'm gonna do Mobile Warfare as Germany because why not

[heavy vigil]

its only because im kuwait

and im making METAMAX divisions

im the first person to have ever seen this guy as a field marshal as a non dev

[woeful knoll]

theres no way this is real

Why does paradox design this for us

[heavy vigil]

META

[woeful knoll]

Is this what the ai uses

[heavy vigil]

do you start with that?

[woeful knoll]

yea

as malaysia

[heavy vigil]

awesome

malaysia

most starting techs out of any generic country

its powerful

[fair horizon]

Does it start with navy tech?

[heavy vigil]

yes

and tanks, and RADAR

no air tho

some arty too

[fair horizon]

It starts with radar?

Thats busted

[heavy vigil]

one of two nations to start with RADAR

[fair horizon]

Australia gets it for free from a focus

[heavy vigil]

the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland also starts with RADAR

[fair horizon]

British empire*

[heavy vigil]

what do i pick for kuwait

[fair horizon]

I dont even know tbh the new doctrines confuse me and i dont own ncns

[heavy vigil]

ok ill do rocket arty ive never used it before

[subtle tiger]

rocket artillery kuwait build?

they should make an achievement for that

[heavy vigil]

i dont think they should

kuwait sucks

[fair horizon]

How much core pop does kuwait have?

[heavy vigil]

lots

[fair horizon]

So communism?

[heavy vigil]

no

im staying non aligned

[woeful knoll]

Best elephant template?

[dusky burrow]

Why do people like motorized recon? It's worse than literally everything

[fair horizon]

I dont get the reason for recon at all tbh

[heavy vigil]

it has 10% attack to arty tho

[opal nymph]

Defensive Positions

[heavy vigil]

its good in real combat

[opal nymph]

Doing the larpy picks

[heavy vigil]

hiiii jonathan

[opal nymph]

Hi

[heavy vigil]

im ATTACKING

with the METAMAX divisions

(theyre really bad)

[dusky burrow]

So does cavalry recon and armored car recon

[opal nymph]

Defense is breakthrough clearly

[dusky burrow]

And the latter is literally better than motorized recon in every way, including IC

[heavy vigil]

if you were iraq would you be scared

[dusky burrow]

Also I see people using motorized recon in divisions without artillery

[viscid mason]

light tank recon/ ranger recon is better

[fair horizon]

Yeah iraq's divs are butt

[opal nymph]

Desert Storm time?

Wait, if we are doing desert storm...

Rapid Domination

[dusky burrow]

BTW, oh wow

[opal nymph]

Mobile infantry

[fair horizon]

Wait casey how can you afford so many divs

[heavy vigil]

theyre better equipped than mine

[woeful knoll]

Nice graveyard of slop

[heavy vigil]

whats up

[woeful knoll]

Afghan civil war during me attacking them

Now i lost all my divisons

[heavy vigil]

im on grand assault because i already nuked my stats

[heavy vigil]

losing to half of afghanistan is cooked

[woeful knoll]

Not lost

but i dont have war goal

on the new afghanhistan

and i cant justify

[dusky burrow]

Things

[woeful knoll]

lmao

[viscid sleet]

does anyone knwo how to improve relations better so they join a faction ?

[dusky burrow]

Wait what?

[woeful knoll]

it broke

and my 2 elephants died

because the civil war spawned on my divison

[dusky burrow]

Paradox damnit

[woeful knoll]

marginized muslim community when im literaly a muslim nation lol

[heavy vigil]

ok im lowkey failing to invade iraq

shouldve gone saudi first

well i could just be at war with both

ok i highkey messed up

but thats okay

[fathom shard]

best way would just to be at war with one of their enemies

if they ever get one

[viscid sleet]

they should go canada soon, im at war with the commie UK but just cant get across the straight

[shrewd inlet]

American Caesar

[fair horizon]

They cant win they dont have camels

[fathom shard]

what even is happening in my games bro

alright bro

[heavy vigil]

i didnt have the logistics im bad

[sudden thistle]

why did bro cause so many civil wars

[woeful knoll]

Why is tibet my puppet?

[full jewel]

Can someone explain the hoi4 drama that's going on and who's in the wrong here or if this is just a joke that everyone is doing together i can't tell.

The one with the youtuber Hansen I think

[woeful knoll]

The youtbuer feedback gaming bots his views

Hansen makes a video showing it

Feedback contacts him and tries to sue him with ai lawyer

[full jewel]

Is it true or is it just him claiming it because people critiqued him?

[woeful knoll]

What do u mean is it true

is what true

[viscid sleet]

i dont get it

i lot 92 ships to a handful before

[woeful knoll]

are u germany or engladnd

[viscid sleet]

germany

got do they not hit anything?

ive been trying to get across for 2 years

[woeful knoll]

Listen to reader

Plan z

[woeful knoll]

but firstly

how do u have 40 subs in one battle

do u have 100 subs in a fleet on patrol?

[dire quail]

I saw some guy using this tactic to annex Japan to get achievement for Turkey, but did they changed it ? Can't join cominterm

[woeful knoll]

go next to it

click on the button itself and see

[viscid sleet]

thats how its structured

[woeful knoll]

you dont need that many submarines

you need at most 100

10 packs of 10

i just do 10 packs of 4-8

secondly

put them on convoy raid

not patrol

they are enganging battle fleets not convoys

[viscid sleet]

ok ill give thata go, the big ships not on patrol?

[full jewel]

Sorry no notification. But I meant the claims on the dude by Hansen, but from my understanding Hansen often does stuff like this for clickbait and has previously deleted a channel over it because he was found out so I'm taking this dram with a grain of salt.

[woeful knoll]

I know your big ships are trash so dont put them on patrol but if u made a real navy you need a battle fleet ang spotting

[viscid sleet]

what should i do with them now?

[woeful knoll]

Make a few carriers all ur starting capitals and then just build up

put the big ships in 1 big stack under enrich and then build spotting ships (light cruisers with only spotting gear)

put these on patrol, no engange and ur 1 or 2 big fleets on strike force

[viscid sleet]

yeah just building subs currently to try get to england to end this war

[woeful knoll]

Hoi4 isnt realistic

they never surrender

if u want to take the uk out you need to sealion

anyways make 10 wolfpacks of subs and put it on convoy raiding

thats kriegsmarine 101

dont do this

[woeful knoll]

idk bruh but i think its real

[viscid sleet]

ill give this a go now

[full jewel]

I hope it's not and its just some idiot trying to ruin someone else life like usually but you never know these days after all I got to experience the scp confinement show incident

[woeful knoll]

if uwant to w9in naval war u will need to restart

[opal nymph]

He had a third channel?

[full jewel]

Idk don't follow him all I know is there was drama he started like a year or 2 ago that was proven false then he deleted.

[viscid sleet]

just build subs to have lots of small groups?

[woeful knoll]

nooooo

[opal nymph]

Well, the whole hoi4 drama is based on his evidence that feedback probably botted his views

[woeful knoll]

build both

and btw this is optional but

i learned navy by going german empire path

so u should try that

[fair horizon]

? Just make a half decent fleet and blow up the british navy by dakar

[opal nymph]

And if he didn't, he decided to go on the attack rather than simply give evidence that he did not

[woeful knoll]

yea

[fair horizon]

They'll slowly feed ships in

[woeful knoll]

my strat works bro

[woeful knoll]

feedback obviously bots

200k views 200 comments and 3k likes

the comments have 100 likes on them

every since the hasen vid dropped his views went from 200k to 12k

[opal nymph]

I say probably so I dont get vaporized by feedback lol

[woeful knoll]

@wind pendant opinions?

[opal nymph]

Everyone is escalating the crap out of this

[viscid sleet]

ok thanks, ill give it a go and pray ahhaha

[full jewel]

From what I have seen in this incident and other previous similar incidents is that youtube does just sonetime randomly recomend video to people even if they don't like it , then just stop recommending for no reason, so while this probably doesn't actually mean anything and could be wrong it would be really funny if this was just youtubes fault because there ai randomly just boosted his channel for a bit

[fathom shard]

what is feedback gonna do

[full jewel]

Agreed

[opal nymph]

I know that the algorithm does that, but not to those levels

[full jewel]

Well he responded on youtube in a note thing I think

[opal nymph]

Like at most, I got 15k

[fathom shard]

let's not forget he doxxed the person that exposed him AND SHARED IT with other people

[opal nymph]

That was my highest jump ever

[full jewel]

Idk I have seen it a few times with another hoi4 youtuber where he got boosted a bunch

[opal nymph]

200k?

[full jewel]

Apparently "according to him" he shared something with someone who then shared it to 2 youtubers who then doxed him but idk

[woeful knoll]

the moment hansen vid dropped he went down to 12k before he was consistently doing 200k

250k views 1k likes and 75 comments

he clearly bots

[fathom shard]

most of them were partnered videos too

[full jewel]

Zamn

[fathom shard]

which could count as fraud

[full jewel]

400k at Max this is for hollowbeing

[woeful knoll]

I hate hollowbeing

[full jewel]

Explain?

[woeful knoll]

Hes so trash at the game bro

he pmo

he cant use focucus trees for shit

[fathom shard]

if feedback gaming wouldn't have done all of this and would have just ignored it he would've been fine but now he's just bound to downfall

[full jewel]

Ik lol that what's so great about him

[plush goblet]

is there an event going on

[full jewel]

He just makes you want to tear out your hair lol and he just makes it harder for himself

[full jewel]

Just scroll up a bit

[plush goblet]

oh i see

thanks

[opal nymph]

Guess I can't post graphs

[fathom shard]

1. it violates youtube's policies
2. if the video goes thru youtube partner program fake views generate illegitimate ad revenue and misleads advertisers into paying for views that AREN'T real people

[woeful knoll]

why

[full jewel]

I agree Socrates but I also believe this has been a series of unfortunate events with something being mistaken for something else

[fathom shard]

and the one time he showcases a good strategy it's not his

[opal nymph]

Idk

[full jewel]

OK thanks

[opal nymph]

This was my one algorithm blessed graph

[woeful knoll]

I like his strategies tho

[fathom shard]

his japan world record strategy isn't his

[full jewel]

[woeful knoll]

wait fr

[opal nymph]

It was a small boost that was under 19k

[fathom shard]

AND his time on it is also SHIT

[full jewel]

Woaw

[fathom shard]

and he still calls it a world record

[opal nymph]

It lasted a day

[woeful knoll]

that vid made me learn how to play japan

whod he steel it from

[fathom shard]

i went on and tried it and capped china 1.5 months before him

[full jewel]

How do you see this sort of stuff

[opal nymph]

It's my channel

[full jewel]

Oh OK congrates

[fathom shard]

he steals his strategies from discords or reddit

[opal nymph]

I'm just showing what a blessed algorithm looks like

[woeful knoll]

china got buffed

[opal nymph]

It is a 1 day boost

[fathom shard]

nerfed

but yeah

[opal nymph]

This was a few years ago

[fathom shard]

it is actually easier to capitulate china now

you can do it by april 1937

[woeful knoll]

Bruh they have infinete teleporting divs

[full jewel]

I refuse to play Japan due to having to focus on navy which I can fo but it just requires more effort

[opal nymph]

His discord used to have a thing where you could post exploits and earn money (doubt anyone got paid)

[heavy sleet]

rah i just bought the game

[woeful knoll]

Feedback is addicted to ai

ai thumbnail, ai pfp, ai lawyer

ai videos

[viscid sleet]

i went back to a saved file, i think i found a way to get america in ahah. declared on cuba before their civil war, at war with usa and they are alligned with the uk, fascists usa will be against uk also and should align with me

[full jewel]

Well in the end we will have to wait about a week or a month to see if any of this was real

[fathom shard]

he also got most of his "exploits" from other people in that discord

he doesn't even credit

[woeful knoll]

nicd

nic

nice

[full jewel]

From my understanding hasn't he said that people from his discord gives him ideas or am I thinking of someone else?

[woeful knoll]

u should try the kriegsmarine coup path

where u put the navy in charge of germany

[opal nymph]

Kriegsmarine path funny

[fathom shard]

he should credit the author not the people

[full jewel]

Fair enough

[viscid sleet]

how do you do this?

[opal nymph]

Do you have gotterdammerung

[fathom shard]

imagine you find out an insane exploit and you get credited as "people from the discord"

[viscid sleet]

im not sure what that is?

[full jewel]

Also quick question for everyone which would be the best dlc to buy first if you only have base game

[full jewel]

Great way to put it, living up to your name

[woeful knoll]

german civil war -> german empire -> military dictatorship
Promise to expand the kriegsmarine but dont do it then they will coup after about 2 years

also u need the germany dlc

gotterdamerung

[viscid sleet]

oh dont have that and gig adolf pathway

[fathom shard]

no step back

[full jewel]

That the tank one?

[fathom shard]

la resistance and bba are also great

[fathom shard]

yes

[full jewel]

Most excellent

[fathom shard]

yeah tanks are very essential

[woeful knoll]

Poland: United and Ready prob

[full jewel]

Thank you, when I got some more money that shall be the first purchase of many for thos game

[woeful knoll]

it adds plane designer

[full jewel]

Never heard of it is it real

OH

[woeful knoll]

yea the first dlc

[full jewel]

Cool

So tanks and plane are on my list first then

[woeful knoll]

also get battle for bosporus

it adds mios

[full jewel]

Yep

Wasn't there a chance though with the next few dlcs we could get tanks or planes dlc for free as base game like navy?

[woeful knoll]

no

the navy one was a old dlc

[full jewel]

Fiddlesticks

[woeful knoll]

the tank and places are newer

planes

[fathom shard]

i'd also recommend buying dlcs right now cause they are on a promotion

[full jewel]

Wait I thought you said the planes were from the first dlc or something

[woeful knoll]

im just kidding

lol

get bba (by blood alone)

and no step back

[full jewel]

Not much money so I'm going to wait for the next dlc

Sale

OK so those are the main dlc to go for thank you guys

[fathom shard]

holy shit

eu4 is 5 usd

im taking that shit

[full jewel]

Ooh la la

[woeful knoll]

be prepared for pain bro

[full jewel]

$7 for me should I take it. I have no idea how to play

[fathom shard]

ive played it alot before on my friiends steam family

[woeful knoll]

eu4?

[full jewel]

I tried to play crusader kings 2 I think when it was free but I gave up in the tutorial

[full jewel]

Yes

[woeful knoll]

i dont see why not

its a lot of button clicking but once u get it its simple

i would get it

[full jewel]

OK I shall then let us see if I will regret this purchase once I get around to playing it, since I feel like another fallout 4 playthrough

[fathom shard]

is it possible to not ever be in debt in eu4?

[woeful knoll]

yes

play a rich nation

[fathom shard]

like

[woeful knoll]

venice bro

[full jewel]

Omg it's only $17 for I think all the dlcs in the game is it worth it

[woeful knoll]

yes

def

[full jewel]

If there is only 10 dlcs

[fathom shard]

venice is pretty boring in my experience

[full jewel]

Wait I can't read it's just the starter edition

Is it still worth?

[fathom shard]

theres like 20 dlcs in eu4

[woeful knoll]

i jsut get the subscription for paradox

cancel it after a month

only 5 bucks

[full jewel]

I'm sorry but I refuse to get any subscription

[full jewel]

Holy moly

[woeful knoll]

based

[fathom shard]

subscriptions to plaay a game

[full jewel]

It's literally the worst thing I could imagine and yet I still want to play WOW so very much

[woeful knoll]

every dlc adds more buttons to click

[heavy vigil]

games or video games

[woeful knoll]

wow is trash bro

nobody even talks

i played it and i had no community experince just mashing 1 and 2

[full jewel]

It's not that it's trash it's that I'm an Explorer and I have been ever since I first played when I was like 5

Also I did interact with quite a few people in the trial

[full jewel]

Unlimited game but no bacon or unlimited bacon but no games

[fair horizon]

I miss old wow, so lively

[heavy vigil]

im kinda bored of hoi4 for a bit chat, just dont really know what to do in it thats fun

vic3 tho

im really bad at vic3

[full jewel]

I wish I got to experience all those old games in there peaks examples wow, call of duty black ops, halos and other similar games

Like I did get to somewhat experience wow cause I played on my mums account but I explored everywhere and interacted with people it was actually how I learnt basic morality

[heavy vigil]

old...

[full jewel]

Nah just played it when I was really young

Like maybe 3 I first started

[heavy vigil]

when i was really young i was like i like reading books

and then i read a lot of books

[full jewel]

Same I loved reading

[heavy vigil]

which makes it hard to relate to people

[full jewel]

We're they science books on like the planet or animals or space

[full jewel]

Or were they just like regular children's books

[heavy vigil]

history.

like books about 17-18th century pirates or like, napoleonic wars books, and a lot of ww2 later

and a bit of medieval fiction

[full jewel]

Ahh fair enough I did the same but not as much until I was older but even then I only had access to the generic ww2 and few other time periods books

[full jewel]

I wish I got to learn more about then and medieval period

[heavy vigil]

for me it started when i was like 6 😭

[full jewel]

Yea wasn't until maybe 8 or 9 that I did start reading those I believe

[fathom shard]

from reading books to moderating discord servers

[heavy vigil]

i still read books sometimes 💔

[full jewel]

Oof

Shot through the dark and that ok

[full jewel]

What type of books do you read now anyways?

[heavy vigil]

youll never guess (im currently reading one about the colonization of australia)

[full jewel]

[heavy vigil]

also, need to sleep, good night

[full jewel]

Good night

[lime mist]

Guys im playing as germany rn and I defeated poland but im wondering should I attack france or the ussr

[ivory dust]

Both

https://klipy.com/gifs/ishowspeed-meme

[lime mist]

lol

[full jewel]

Then make sure to declare war on the USA when Japan does

Also go after Greece cause you don't like how they talk

I SAW THAT

[craggy trail]

Eep well

[full jewel]

I SAW THE FLAG

[lime mist]

K

[elfin nest]

hello

[random needle]

Do yall believe in me for sea lion

Ima try to do paratrooper which I’ve never used before

Playin democratic Germany tryna get France in faction but Belgium and Dutch are in a faction with the Brit’s for some reason

I can probs over run low lands and drop into Britain

[gilded wasp]

How.. have you accomplished sea lion WITHOUT paratroopers.

[random needle]

No

never took Britain before

[gilded wasp]

Oh yeah just a quick heads up

[lime mist]

Guys how can I stop a country from assuming leadership of my faction

[random needle]

Doesn’t southern Britain have anti air

[random needle]

Get more industry I think

[gilded wasp]

You are NOT out-navying britan till like 1956 or something.

[lime mist]

Alright ty

[gilded wasp]

Well.

[random needle]

Don’t plan on it

just wanna get air dominance and drop

[gilded wasp]

Anti air my 250 soft attack paratroopers with total air dominance, peasant.

[gilded wasp]

Well para is easy

The second you cap a port its over.

You just front line the port so it pours in the army and you try to spread out before your guys starve to death.

(Def never happened to me, im a sigma germany player trust.)

[random needle]

any tips for air dominance

[gilded wasp]

Two things.

Just focus a bit more industry in air then normal.

If you have to, funnel the factories from cas to the fighters.

And you have to split the wings.

[random needle]

Aight

[gilded wasp]

So like

[random needle]

I normally just put everything on one front 😭

[gilded wasp]

Alot in the channel, a good ammount on the mainland

[gilded wasp]

Yeah, bad idea, they'll shoot down ur planes flying across the channe;.

Definetly DIDNT learn that the hardway once again.

[random needle]

Ima put naval bombers on channel

Is that a good strat

[gilded wasp]

No, you need to put fighters there too

Or like I said

[random needle]

Ok

[gilded wasp]

They'll be shooting down your planes in the channel AND mainland.

[random needle]

So fighters over both and bombers on both?

[gilded wasp]

Bombers on the mainland is unneccessary unless you can logi strike.

[random needle]

Ok

[gilded wasp]

I cant, but ive heard logi striking the home guard into starving is silly.

[random needle]

Aight

I’m putting 2 factories onto both fighters and transport (I clicked the x5 compress thing)

And I’m researching better fighter tech

[gilded wasp]

Ohhhh

[rich finch]

man in the high castle

[gilded wasp]

You have the DLC that lets you actually make your own fighters?

Or is that like an old system.

[uncut pollen]

no nazi flags/imagery please.

[rich finch]

the game made it like that

i cant control it

[random needle]

I have all dlc

🤑

[gilded wasp]

Rich boy.

[karmic viper]

there is a guy in vc likes poop get me away from him please

[random needle]

I give all my allowance to paradox

[gilded wasp]

I have no clue about designing fighters.

[random needle]

Christmas money

[gilded wasp]

Because I CANT design fighters.

[uncut pollen]

Cencore it

Or dont send a Screenshot

[gilded wasp]

Im sure theres a guide or two around there that tells you the meta fighter designs.

[random needle]

I normally put heavy cannons and light mg, extra drop tanks for range, and stuff

They work pretty well

[sudden thistle]

lemme find it one second

good picture

[subtle tiger]

nah it's not that hard

a fat ton of naval striking gets it done

[gilded wasp]

I dont need the design, I got NO dlcs beside the one I got in the pack i got with the game.

[random needle]

There is a meta

You get heavy batte ships and spam big guns

and you can sink their fleet pretty easily

[sudden thistle]

i think just pump up the air attack +

[random needle]

I just am to lazy

[sudden thistle]

i havent played no dlc in like 3 years

so i may be wrong

it may also just be a numbers game

[rich finch]

<@&846894118219022336> someone saying HH in vc

[gilded wasp]

Sounds about right. Bombing a fleet until it doesnt exist will usually make you have a better navy.

[sudden thistle]

more plane good

[random needle]

This is my infantry temp

[gilded wasp]

That's your temp for germany?

You have the industry to make it like super good.

😭

[sudden thistle]

u dont need the line arty

the default div works perfectly fine

[random needle]

I highly suck at templates

[random needle]

My doctrines grant better arty attack

[gilded wasp]

I used 4 line arty for my templates.. God those troops were SO expensive.

But that soft attack 🤤

[wise bridge]

new hardest achievement?

[woeful knoll]

yea

[sudden thistle]

@heavy vigil i think u got the reasons for this

i need to lock in for my engineering work u got this bubba

[gilded wasp]

I put all my effort into the rest ok >:(

[sudden thistle]

no its fine for a new person

[wise bridge]

is this for off or def

[gilded wasp]

Im the agressiv eplayer, iont need allat defensive infantry.

[sudden thistle]

i just dont have the time to get into a explanation

[gilded wasp]

SHUT UP IT WAS LIKE MY 2nd GERMANY RUN.

[tulip thorn]

Damn

[gilded wasp]

that template won me the war, ong..

[uncut pollen]

The hardest is the where you have to play as poland 1939 and survive

[gilded wasp]

The allies were no match for.

4 big boom sticks.

[uncut pollen]

[sudden thistle]

[safe wing]

USSR is fun it’s just that they shine in the late game

[little compass]

I have to spit out a 30 page scientific paper on thermodynamics cycles and waste heat recovery and a 15 slide PowerPoint in 5 days 🫩🫩

We r cooked

[safe wing]

Germany is just uh overpowered in comparison

[sudden thistle]

I also have a nuclear power presentation tomorrow

I’m still in high school

[little compass]

Oh

Turkish flag

[sudden thistle]

(The steam engine owns it though)

[little compass]

ORC is the GOAT

I'm actually gonna write about nuclear uses of ORCs and SRCs on my paper tmmr

This is supposed to be a 3 man project and im doing it all on my own

[sudden thistle]

Thank god I’m not doing that right now

[little compass]

🫩

[sudden thistle]

It sounds atrocious

[sudden thistle]

Damn

[little compass]

It is

I tried reading one of the papers recommended to me by the prof

[safe wing]

I’m gonna play Attila total war as the western Roman Empire on very hard very hard which is also atrocious

[little compass]

By page 10/30-something I couldn't understand shit

[sudden thistle]

Makes sense

[little compass]

And I had to do that 25-30 more times

(I didn't)

[sudden thistle]

What major are you going with?

[little compass]

I'm not even writing this essay anymore I have resorted to chat gpt cuz we can't meet the deadline

[sudden thistle]

Valid

[little compass]

It's like electrical engineering

But it specializes in the energy stuff

It specializes with anything energy related

[little compass]

It's supposed to be a 3 man project

[sudden thistle]

Did ur team abandon you?

[little compass]

One person is a friend of mine that hasn't done anything yet and the other is some random ass guy who we have never interacted with before or after he joined our group

We have no idea who he even is

He never tried to find us or anything

[sudden thistle]

It’s Einstein himself trust me

[little compass]

I'm pretty cooked here

I'mma try the corrupted file trick

To get more time

[safe wing]

Sounds like the average group school project when I was in high school

[sudden thistle]

Goated

[little compass]

Lowk I'm cooked af

[safe wing]

I tired the procrastination do it at the last minute trick

[little compass]

I guarantee u I won't even get a 5

And this is worth 25% of my grade

[safe wing]

It worked albiet at the cost of my sanity

[sudden thistle]

Ok u may be cooked

Ask ur friend to do something bro

[little compass]

I did

She told me she'd look into it tonight

[sudden thistle]

And we should prob move this too DM’s since this is a public server

Deleting what part?

[little compass]

Lmao

Anyway gn

I got work tmmr

(I'll get destroyed)

[sudden thistle]

[sudden thistle]

So true

[little compass]

Tmmr is a national holiday so cafes and bars are gonna be filled go the brim

And I have no power to do that

I'm still recovering from yesterday's work

😭

Managing an entire kitchen and it's staff is hard

[sudden thistle]

If u need food just like eat the bed

[little compass]

True

[little compass]

(I'm the only person that works in the kitchen)

[sudden thistle]

Bro ur cooked

U gotta have people help you

[little compass]

It's a tiny kitchen I barely fit in there

And I don't make anything crazy

It's shit like sandwiches and stuff

[rich finch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1337279952235790460/1344161604190605342/attachment1.GIF

[little compass]

Shit you get when you order drinks as a side dish

The problem is

Yesterday I prepped nothing

And I doubt the person that worked today prepped anything as well

[sudden thistle]

Doesn’t sound that bad

[little compass]

Yeah

Till you need to make 10 of them

On a single sandwich press

[sudden thistle]

Is it like simple 20 second deli sandwiches?

[little compass]

The square ones

With cheese and a cold cut

It's very simple

But after u cook it u gotta open it again and add other shit

It's not that it's hard to make

It's the quantity that you need to make

And you gotta do this while also washing dishes and making other dishes

Like

[sudden thistle]

Atleast you are doing something 😭

That’s a bright side ig

[little compass]

Shit gets rough when there's tons of people

I'd sit and explain but

Yk

[little compass]

I make minimum wage 😭

That's 18€ per day

And I work for only 3 days a week

[little compass]

That's 210€ per month

My rent is 480€

[sudden thistle]

Ask for a little more perchance

[little compass]

Lol

Lmao even

[sudden thistle]

(It won’t happen will it)

[little compass]

There's a 0% chance of it

There's a 100% chance of getting yelled for asking for one tho

After all

It's not like I'm hard to replace

[faint fiber]

im about to cry if I cant get this to work

[little compass]

Anyway I gotta hit the bedroll tmmr is gonna be a long day@sudden thistle

[heavy vigil]

what

[dusky burrow]

well if all of your divisions are large infantry templates then you might run out of equipment

sure

but you shouldn't be running out of equipment, artillery isn't that much more expensive than infantry equipment per combat width
