[patent thistle]

or if you get into war

[lost nymph]

sure but why dont they end their civil war they have the whole countrie now

[patent thistle]

because them joining the allies effectively makes the capitulated goverment an goverment in exile

[dusty hare]

Hello

[lost nymph]

wow that is really crazy

[patent thistle]

wow germany is doing really badly in the soviets

oh right they dont have hungary or austria

also dont ask what the hell is going on in croatia- hungary got hungry ig?

[sly venture]

we have alot of the alps but most importantly we have a port

[patent thistle]

shame on you on not taking more of italy.

but now make a navy

[sly venture]

does the alpine conferdaration give you cores?

[patent thistle]

yep

it gives you cores on italian stuff too

[sly venture]

i should have taken italy

[eternal aspen]

ion think agdir will have an easy solution for germany (me)

[sly venture]

this was my first time playingh swiss

[patent thistle]

shame on you

[eternal aspen]

this is in 1906

[patent thistle]

its time

[sly venture]

i will do byantium again

[heavy vigil]

hello peacekeepers

[patent thistle]

um, good luck horthy without a coastline?

[eternal aspen]

as germany in the early 20th century

[sudden thistle]

Danube

🔥

[patent thistle]

let me rephrase it, no dockyards lol

holy shit germany is actually doing horrible in the east lol.

funny how italy does not see the threat at all

[heavy vigil]

uh oh

[heavy vigil]

always dockgreed

[patent thistle]

rip

lol

my navy is barely out for a few days and the italian one is getting analiated

i swear is the entire italian army just in africa or what the hell is this

[pulsar saffron]

im not sure this naval invasion is gonna succeed

its kinda stalled out

and theyre bringing in more and more guys

theyve pushed me back a little bit in the south

[cedar wyvern]

holy even monarchist gets militia

[pulsar saffron]

i thought the germans would take the hint and send their army over but no

[patent thistle]

why even bother engaging

uhm, i broke the civilwar ig-?

[trim pike]

@junior glacier no external emojis

[eternal aspen]

hey mna, ion got reason to go to war

i have the largest navy, strongest army

i'm the most prosperous

and i hold most of africa

and it's still era1

[patent thistle]

cant do shit here BECAUSE THE AI COMPLETELY FOCUSES ON ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

THE EASTEN FRONT IS LITTERALLY COLLAPSING AS WE SPEAK

BUT NO LETS JUST FOCUS EVERYTHING ON THE PLAYER

[clever shuttle]

finnally got the zues, im coming for you africa

[sly venture]

oh yea

[rough tendon]

@cold bolt go Manchuria I’ll give you China

[eternal aspen]

so, uhh

ion gotta worry for ww1

237 divisions with max doctrine

[rich gulch]

I need guidance

Italy attacking Romania

[sharp sierra]

your units arent equipped

[rich gulch]

So what do I do

[sharp sierra]

attack where you can but you should probably chill and give yourself time to produce some equipment

maybe start making a proper unit

[rich gulch]

Ok

[rich gulch]

What does this mean

[rough tendon]

You have no equipment

Red means you don’t have it

[unkempt zodiac]

holy deficit 😭

[rich gulch]

Oh

[unkempt zodiac]

your men have no guns to fight with

[rich gulch]

Then why can’t they just run up and kill themselves

[unkempt zodiac]

thats what they are doing currently

[sly venture]

i re did byzantium but this time managed to capitulate romania before joining the axis

[rich gulch]

So how do I make peace with Romania

[vital cove]

by this artillery deficit, you're probably using line artillery. remove it

[unkempt zodiac]

who are you playing as

[rich gulch]

Italy

[rich gulch]

What’s line artillery

[unkempt zodiac]

Dude how did you lose so much infantry equipment

[vital cove]

artillery battalions, not support company

[rich gulch]

Idk

[vital cove]

the small ones on the side are support companies

[unkempt zodiac]

do you have a ton of units in training?

[rich gulch]

So I get rid of support artillery?

[junior glacier]

yeah i saw my bad

[unkempt zodiac]

NO

[vital cove]

no, you keep support

you remove line ones, if you use them

[unkempt zodiac]

support artillery is really cheap plus gives a really good soft attack bonus

[vital cove]

yeah stop this

delete them

[unkempt zodiac]

you dont need more divisions

[vital cove]

also don't use light tanks in general

[rich gulch]

Ok

What about horses

[sly venture]

construncytion of the greek maginot has begun

[unkempt zodiac]

if you take down romania turkey and greece early you should be able to have a good enough industry to build really good SPG's

honestly, in singleplayer just stack them in front of mountaineers and you should be able to rush france and the uk with those easily

[rich gulch]

What are SPGs

[unkempt zodiac]

armored artillery

you go to the tank designer

[weary lagoon]

tanks with a special role which enhances soft attack

[unkempt zodiac]

and you can change it from tank to spg

[rich gulch]

Oh I can actually research these slots next to tanks

[hasty linden]

oh damn , i was worried but now

denmark got my back

phew

[eternal aspen]

omg finally

1909 is almost here

[thick vector]

When it was my turn to send something like this, I was asked to take a screenshot, but this person didn't. Is this justice?

[unkempt zodiac]

you can build something like this, mountaineers get their own special doctrines, plus spg's are cheaper than tanks

[rich gulch]

I’ve never seen those tanks before

I always lose before 1941

[eternal aspen]

medium SPG

artillery on tracks

[unkempt zodiac]

ahh wait i think its cus of dlc

[eternal aspen]

pretty cheap,only good tank you need in SP

[eternal aspen]

no, they exist without NSB

it's the sub-researches for them

[unkempt zodiac]

yeah and its like 20% cheaper than tanks in divisions

[eternal aspen]

yh

yk it's bad when i get a 100mb crash log for a mod

[winged field]

the hp ❤️‍🩹

[eternal aspen]

while not even 9 years in

in a mod that goes 160 years start to finish

[rain fox]

HELLO

[tired tendon]

hi guys, if it took aa year for me to beat poland as germany on recruit difficulty, and im experienced at strategy games, do i just suck at this game?

[rich gulch]

Sometimes I’m lost in what to research on, I’m always ahead and there’s a time penalty

[unkempt zodiac]

Yeah i mean you can edit these i just tried to make them optimized to push through the alps against france and packed them with as much firepower as humanly possible

[sly venture]

oh no

[eternal aspen]

what DLC do you have?

[unkempt zodiac]

plus you can stack ALOT of mountaineers cus they get a combat width reduction with their doctrines

[winged field]

yeah, idk why they made special forces have less hp

it would be too op I guess

[eternal aspen]

cause they're OP as is

[winged field]

valid

[eternal aspen]

marines with max right doctrine can get really strong

same with mountaineers, and i believe rangers

paratroopers are a one-off unit ngl

they can do one thing that they excell at, and that's only if yo don't drop them too far from support

unless you cap them in one drop

[unkempt zodiac]

with like assault engineers flame tanks and rangers they basically get zero bad modifiers for crappy terrain tho

[eternal aspen]

other than amphib

[unkempt zodiac]

yeah

[eternal aspen]

but i doubt you'll be crossing straits or naval invading with mountaineers

[rich gulch]

And I just lost my whole run

I swear I can never expand without losing

[sharp sierra]

how many hours do you have

[unkempt zodiac]

maybe you can like try playing the game with an easier major to learn how combat works

[rich gulch]

The only war I can win is the war in Ethiopia

[eternal aspen]

try japan ngl

[winged field]

really solid fr, we love terrain buffs

[rich gulch]

Like 30

[eternal aspen]

they're pretty easy if you don't attack the world at once

[unkempt zodiac]

as germany you start really strong nobody attacks you and you start the war when you feel ready

[eternal aspen]

how do you organize military factories

[rich gulch]

I hate Germany it’s so hard

It’s like you’re fighting off the whole world

[unkempt zodiac]

which part of it?

[unkempt zodiac]

yupp

[rich gulch]

As Germany you literally have no teammates

[eternal aspen]

italy, japan

the RK's

all the friends you need

[rich gulch]

I’m pretty sure that’s a joke

[eternal aspen]

nope

one is useless, the other screws you over

[rich gulch]

Tell me what Italy does

[unkempt zodiac]

italy is a bleeding front lol

[eternal aspen]

still an ally

[unkempt zodiac]

a terrible one

[eternal aspen]

benny musolini will send you guns and trucks

[rich gulch]

Literally another front for me to deal with

[rich gulch]

Wow

[eternal aspen]

he's good enough

[rich gulch]

I’m literally Germany I don’t think I need any more guns

I just need one less front

[eternal aspen]

trust me, you will need a LOT of guns

[winged field]

thats why u dont let them in axis

[eternal aspen]

like by 1943 you'll need 30 mils on guns just to sustain the army

[winged field]

or even annex them for the funnies

[unkempt zodiac]

Dude try buidling armored templates trust me

[rich gulch]

I’ve never even dreamed of getting to 1943 alive

[unkempt zodiac]

They are so much better in combat

[rich gulch]

What are armored templates

[unkempt zodiac]

tanks

[eternal aspen]

tanks

panzerkamphwagen

[rich gulch]

I always have tanks

I have almost 70 of them

And I still can’t kill Poland

[unkempt zodiac]

can i see your templates?

[rich gulch]

It took me 6 months

[eternal aspen]

that could be why

you're eating all your supply

[rich gulch]

Literally just all medium tanks and some trucks

[unkempt zodiac]

ohh yeah

[eternal aspen]

that's why

[unkempt zodiac]

supply is more important than the amount of divisions you have

click f4

[eternal aspen]

for early game tanks you want smth like 1:1 truck to tank

[unkempt zodiac]

and see if its red

[rich gulch]

And what can I do if it’s red

I keep making railways but it’s not helping

[eternal aspen]

s can handle this easier, i am going to bed

gn y'all

[unkempt zodiac]

less templates, and motorize your supply

[unkempt zodiac]

good night

[eternal aspen]

can also upgrade

[eternal aspen]

it's 11am 💀

[rich gulch]

So just tell me what country I should start with to learn the game I’m going insane

With Germany when I’m invading Poland France just makes a spearhead

[eternal aspen]

oh, yea defend the french front

that's why you lose

[rich gulch]

And I don’t know why this game is so historically inaccurate

[unkempt zodiac]

make this the highest

[eternal aspen]

110% that's gonna be why

[eternal aspen]

france pushed into germany irl

[rich gulch]

Literally why does the Soviet Union not help

[eternal aspen]

because they can't

pdx never coded that in

[unkempt zodiac]

you said you were gonna go to bed bro 😭

[rich gulch]

Then that’s inaccurate

[unkempt zodiac]

also time zones exist

[eternal aspen]

yh, realized it don't matter

i shld stay up to fix sleed schedule

[rich gulch]

Poland only lost cuz of ussr ngl

[eternal aspen]

and yknow

germany driving from berlin to warsaw

took a month to cap them

france was slightly over at 6 weeks

[rich gulch]

Then what country should I play to start off I’m literally losing my mind

[sharp sierra]

just germany

[rich gulch]

But it’s you against the world

I can’t handle the pressure

[sharp sierra]

yea youre the whole engine

everything you do dictates the game and its catered for you to win

[rich gulch]

What

[sharp sierra]

as germany

[eternal aspen]

the idea is to throw you right in the action with some knowledge and you ask questions or look things up for what you don't know

[rich gulch]

I feel like if I join allies allies lose and if I play Germany I get crushed

[eternal aspen]

another way, is with a mod

[sharp sierra]

figure out why you get crushed and try to fix it

[eternal aspen]

i learnt how to play hoi4 as Lanius in Old World Blues

because it hands you the early game, where you can learn things

[rich gulch]

Because ussr doesn’t help

[eternal aspen]

then lets you screw up

[eternal aspen]

they hold ~25% the polish army

alr i def gotta sleep i can feel my eyelid skin

[rich gulch]

That is irrelevant when my 30 units can’t push into their 5 units

[sharp sierra]

yea thats not the problem

you probably dont understand the combat stats that make your 30 units not effective

[unkempt zodiac]

maybe japan will be a bit easier? you have a really good navy and you can pretty much get all of china really early

[sharp sierra]

you can click on the battle and see whats wrong

[rich gulch]

What is a navy

I don’t understand why a navy is useful

[unkempt zodiac]

you START with a good navy

[unkempt zodiac]

invading uk pretty much

[rich gulch]

Yeah and that

When I play as Germany

All my ships are randomly destroyed by the uk in the middle of the Atlantic

Like what

[sharp sierra]

well yea

[unkempt zodiac]

those are probably convoys

[rich gulch]

Yeah and if I can’t trade I can’t produce

I can’t produce I lose

[unkempt zodiac]

you should try importing from countries you have a land border with

sweden, portugal, turkey

[rich gulch]

Also I have to ask

When I get Czechoslovakia

What do I do with them

Annex it, puppet it or split it with Hungary

[unkempt zodiac]

doesnt really matter

you can set slovakia as a puppet

[vital cove]

annex

always annex

[rich gulch]

And should I make the puppets in the Rosenberg office

[sharp sierra]

no

[vital cove]

no

[unkempt zodiac]

i would put civillian oversight law on bohemia bcs you alredy start with high compliance

[vital cove]

use civilian oversight in general

and do collabs

[rich gulch]

We have some very mixed opinions

What are collabs

The only collabs I know are McDonald’s and BTS

[vital cove]

on france, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium

[sharp sierra]

theyre the best

[unkempt zodiac]

collaboration governments

[vital cove]

do you have la resistance

[rich gulch]

Yes

Only this

[unkempt zodiac]

what does it matter with belgium?

[vital cove]

eco

[unkempt zodiac]

meh

[vital cove]

you do 1-2 collabs on them

don't need 3

[unkempt zodiac]

i would rather have 100% compliance on france then 30% on netherlands and belgium

[vital cove]

you do 3 Poland and france

you have enough spies

[rich gulch]

Is it embarrassing to say that I’ve never conquered France

[sharp sierra]

ur brand new

[sly venture]

this is looking pretty well

[vital cove]

then collaboration governments are something you do with the spy agency

[slow vortex]

guys whin will the no compromise no surrender go on sale

[rich gulch]

Literally if I could just get Poland and France in one run I would be happy

[unkempt zodiac]

dude, check your supply, and equipment

95% of the time why you cant push its these two issues

especially against poland

[rich gulch]

Can I just share my screen lmao

[unkempt zodiac]

yeah send a screenshot

[patent thistle]

FINALLY

[rich gulch]

I’m gonna blow my hair then start a Germany run

Are you gonna be online

[unkempt zodiac]

Yeah i'll try to be

just ping me

[rich gulch]

How long do you think I’ll need to do Poland and France

[unkempt zodiac]

conquering all of this took me until like 1940

[worn cliff]

november 37

expansion pro max

[unkempt zodiac]

you get really strong as germany so dont worry

[sharp sierra]

time to pull out cool screenshots

[worn cliff]

average 1937 eco

[rich gulch]

What’s the asuka reich

[unkempt zodiac]

im just trying to help man 😭

[sudden thistle]

Holy civ greed

[unkempt zodiac]

[rich gulch]

Why didn’t you go for Poland

[unkempt zodiac]

[unkempt zodiac]

[rich gulch]

Oh

[worn cliff]

not even civ greed its only 37

[worn cliff]

[worn cliff]

[sharp sierra]

but yea i didnt care about collabs

[vital cove]

that is

a sus amount

[worn cliff]

nope

[vital cove]

is that vanilla without cheats

[patent thistle]

I STOLE ALSACE OF FRANCE LOL

[vital cove]

[worn cliff]

[vital cove]

[worn cliff]

[worn cliff]

well you rush the focus dummy

im playing german empire bro

[unkempt zodiac]

[worn cliff]

this is how u do it

u go P.E.G (always even as fascist) and rush every annex focus

[worn cliff]

clean map

[unkempt zodiac]

thanks bro

[rich gulch]

Ok wish me luck I’m starting @unkempt zodiac

@unkempt zodiac which focuses do I go for first, what do I research, what do I construct and what do I produce

[sly venture]

we landed on sicily

[sudden thistle]

rip bro

[patent thistle]

i swear its a garantied soviet loss if japan gets involved

[sudden thistle]

im even more cooked

since its sheeps ai

[sharp sierra]

you mean guaranteed learn ot spell idiot

[rich gulch]

Bro💀💀💀

[patent thistle]

says the one with a typo himself

[sharp sierra]

youy look like a typo

[unkempt zodiac]

okay so, just to make it simple go for prioritize economic growth

because its much simpler than dealing with mefo

[rich gulch]

Should I cancel it?

And I started constructing military factories in the west

[unkempt zodiac]

if you know how to play with 4 year plan it IS better but its more difficult

[rich gulch]

So what should I do pretend you’re talking to an idiot

[unkempt zodiac]

Okay

[sudden thistle]

that g word that I cant even spell is annoying to spell lol

[unkempt zodiac]

just train enough divisions to fill up 5 generals worth ot soldiers

so a full army

[rich gulch]

Ok

And after that I stop

And what divisions should I train, what template

[unkempt zodiac]

After that it wont matter

[unkempt zodiac]

but heres the thing

at the start of the game

build civillian industry a bit, maybe 6 months or so

[patent thistle]

as a non-native english speaker some words are super annoying to type for myself too

[unkempt zodiac]

then you can go into military production

[rich gulch]

So civilian factories

[patent thistle]

als is the german writing version of as you can guess how annoying that is

[errant remnant]

Try to guess the year in this alternative history game LOL/

[unkempt zodiac]

ideally, 5 factories on anti air 5 on artillery 2 on trains (always keep atleast one factory on trains) maybe some fighters and the rest on guns

also 2 on trucks too

from the start of the game always produce trucks on trains

[rich gulch]

Is anti air artillery

[unkempt zodiac]

if you arent gonna bother with an air force you should put anti air in your divisions

[rich gulch]

Ok

[unkempt zodiac]

you need to research them from the artliiery tab, yes

[rich gulch]

How many factories on artillery

[unkempt zodiac]

but im pretty sure as germany you start with it

[rich gulch]

What about support equipment

[unkempt zodiac]

it depends, are you gonna build tanks?

[unkempt zodiac]

ph yeah

[rich gulch]

Someone said light tanks were ass so idk

[unkempt zodiac]

5 on support

[zenith wyvern]

Who wants to play co-op Germany with me

[unkempt zodiac]

they are

always build mediums

[rich gulch]

So I’m just not gonna make them

[zenith wyvern]

Anyone

[rich gulch]

IM TRYNA LEARN GERMAY RN

[zenith wyvern]

Ok

Join my sever

[unkempt zodiac]

Im not exactly sure because without the DLC the research and templates for tanks are different

which dlc's do you have

[rich gulch]

Just la resistance

So it’s very basic

Just make them or not

It doesn’t have like parts or modules or companies

[zenith wyvern]

Btw

I am broke so I have no dlc

[rich gulch]

Download them free online

[zenith wyvern]

I got hoi

[worn cliff]

tds?

[unkempt zodiac]

This is singleplayer

Ai doesnt build tanks

[tulip thorn]

Spgs in single player

tank destroyers are a multiplayer thing

[patent thistle]

dang germany actually made improved subs

[unkempt zodiac]

this is PERFECT, put the rest on guns

[rich gulch]

That’s it

[unkempt zodiac]

also you can delete the medium airframe

tactical bombers are useless

[rich gulch]

Ok

[zenith wyvern]

Join

[sharp sierra]

i would do 1 and 1 on trucks unless you ever need more

[tulip thorn]

If this is day one

Just cut out all starting german planes

They are pretty bad

You can make the cas though

[rich gulch]

What about CAS

Ok

[zenith wyvern]

Join so we can play

[tulip thorn]

The fighters are not worth making

[rich gulch]

BRO IM TRYNA DO SP RN

[zenith wyvern]

Ok

[worn cliff]

im lowkey tempted to make light spgs but no breaktrough

[unkempt zodiac]

he doesnt have by blood alone, so planes dont have dedicated designs

[tulip thorn]

The cas is ok I suppose, extra cas never heart

[sharp sierra]

join what

[unkempt zodiac]

its literally just "Small airframe"

[tulip thorn]

They still arent good

[zenith wyvern]

Co op Germany game

[tulip thorn]

Without BBA you should still rush the next frame and upgrade it lol

[sharp sierra]

where whats it called

[tulip thorn]

That starting fighter aint good

[zenith wyvern]

It’s hoi

[rich gulch]

So right now it’s like this

[worn cliff]

making planes in 2026

[sharp sierra]

ur server

[unkempt zodiac]

Yeah this is good

[zenith wyvern]

Yes

I have my main there

[tulip thorn]

Pretty good

[unkempt zodiac]

Now for your divisions

[worn cliff]

why are we making vanilla template panzerschiffs brodie

[unkempt zodiac]

If you arent gonna build tanks at all atleast try to make good mountaineer templates

[rich gulch]

We’re not

[sharp sierra]

do u have a server up or what

[worn cliff]

as germany i just do the naval dockyard focus and spam light cruiser if u struggle with royal navy that much

[zenith wyvern]

Yes

[sudden thistle]

ok yeah the soviets are dead

[rich gulch]

So what do I produce

[sudden thistle]

200 divs 😭

[rich gulch]

Cavalry, trucks, infantry mountaineers?

[unkempt zodiac]

Just this exact same

more guns

[rich gulch]

I lost a battle with 30 units on 5 units bro so yeah

I meant like divisions

[errant remnant]

Try to guess the year in this alternative history game

[sudden thistle]

that doesnt matter

[unkempt zodiac]

you had no supply

[rich gulch]

💀💀💀

[unkempt zodiac]

plus they cant all join the battle at the same time

[worn cliff]

[errant remnant]

JKJK its 1959

[unkempt zodiac]

in your "Q" tab you can hire political advisors

[rich gulch]

Yes

[unkempt zodiac]

when you get 100 political power hire an land military advisor

[errant remnant]

Its not late game tho

[unkempt zodiac]

he gives you army xp

[errant remnant]

its like midgame

[patent thistle]

these 6 battleships arent worth it putting in the fleet due to them being slow af

[rich gulch]

Political advisors or high commands

[unkempt zodiac]

high command

its the first one

on the very left

[rich gulch]

The chief of army?

[unkempt zodiac]

Yup

[rich gulch]

Which one do I do

[worn cliff]

how do people genuinely bother with navy

[unkempt zodiac]

Army offence if you can

[rich gulch]

There’s 4 2 of which are unavailable

[errant remnant]

i hate communism

[unkempt zodiac]

but Army manuever is good too

[patent thistle]

MACARTHUR IS THAT YOU?

[rich gulch]

The 2 you mentioned are unavailable

[errant remnant]

No

Im acc cooking

[unkempt zodiac]

Defence is also fine, you only really need him for army xp

[errant remnant]

Its " Fourth Supreme Army Command"

[patent thistle]

its funny thats why

[rich gulch]

There’s only army drill and army org

[unkempt zodiac]

Can u check dm

[rich gulch]

Ok

[worn cliff]

idk only funny thing is making super heavy battle ships as usa and having fun in the pacific

navy is boring because seas dont change color anymore

they ruined it

[errant remnant]

:)

[patent thistle]

switzerland with a navy, do i have to say more?

[worn cliff]

isnt it just draining balls out of ur resources

[errant remnant]

like on the actual number

[tired smelt]

that is not rise of nations b

[winged field]

lol true

[sly venture]

i did nothing on germany but

[winged field]

looks decent for sure

[severe lion]

wow

[unkempt zodiac]

"democratic, no elections" ahh 😭

[crude quail]

I did get hoi4 (last year??), my computer just can't run it without it going super duper slow

[crude quail]

idk what is even happening there

[severe lion]

democratic republic that is communist

[severe lion]

whats ur specs

[crude quail]

looks like you're turning to ☭communism☭ or reverse

https://tenor.com/view/plague-doctor-war-crime-swag-walk-gif-23135785

I was testing if gifs or images work

[faint fiber]

what did donald duck say when he went to the restaurant?

[worn cliff]

decent?

[severe lion]

holy tutorial division

[worn cliff]

what

i cant bother replacing with mech

[severe lion]

ok and

[ivory hull]

its a very good div for singleplayer

id recommend tho

switch logistics for support arty

and assault engineers for armored engineers

[heavy vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/black-gsd-gsd-black-german-shepherd-german-shepherd-tail-wag-gif-3509066816823785281

[ivory hull]

assault engineers are bettter for forts

but worse for the rest

[worn cliff]

support arty on tanks?

[ivory hull]

yea?

free soft attack

[worn cliff]

guess what

[worn cliff]

u realize logi is essential on spgs

[ivory hull]

dont attack over a river tho

no its not

[severe lion]

enf

[ivory hull]

im using spgs without it

[worn cliff]

cope honestly im doing it for the challenge

i gave france 200 mils

[ivory hull]

bro

your gonna lose like 2k tanks

by just doing that

[severe lion]

theyve been stuck for the past year

[ivory hull]

with no progress

[fathom shard]

are you building this for sp

[ivory hull]

just dont do it

[worn cliff]

we'll see

lol

i have railway guns on it aswell

[ivory hull]

its like -60% attack over a river

[worn cliff]

and i buffed france 50 percent

[ivory hull]

just please go via the northern land connection

[worn cliff]

so they get 40percent + defense

[ivory hull]

attack from multiple sides in the north

maybe a fort buster

trait

and you should click them

especially with cas

[severe lion]

good line?

follows river

[worn cliff]

dude thats the easy way

[severe lion]

and fortified

[ivory hull]

its the smart way

attacking over a river

just means losing tanks

that you dont have to lose

[worn cliff]

its the im scared of the maginot line way

[severe lion]

as if you can do it the hard way

[ivory hull]

how

[severe lion]

just use siege artillery

[worn cliff]

just wait up lil bro

[severe lion]

gng

[ivory hull]

your still gonna break the maginot at the rhineland

but attacking over a river with tanks into lvl 10 forts

is just noob gameplay

[worn cliff]

i did it before easily but not buffing them

[severe lion]

@worn cliffassign only non river crossing units to the plan

[worn cliff]

i meanw anna see i think i have a recording

[severe lion]

shouldve checked logistics

[ivory hull]

i dont need to see to know that its inefficient

[heavy vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/isopod-dance-silly-silly-guy-bounce-gif-9098501747213389321

[severe lion]

not even strategic redeployment saving u

[heavy vigil]

isopod

[severe lion]

ok

[acoustic wasp]

guys if im focusing on lets say an army of medium tanks thats very overpowered, should i assign infantry on the same frontline but with no offensive line instructions? will they adjust to the new frontlines when my tanks have a spearhead assignment?

[worn cliff]

here

thats no buff tho ill try to do the same with french being buffed

[severe lion]

if the big e (erich von manstein) has fort buster then yes

[ivory hull]

battle planning is crazy

a lil bit late

in november 1940

ig thats for the arty tech

[worn cliff]

no

[fathom shard]

whats the point of going thru maginot

[worn cliff]

aggressive battleplan is good micro against ai

[acoustic wasp]

👀

[severe lion]

OMG SWASTIKA BAN HIM!!!!

[worn cliff]

showing u have big ball

[severe lion]

use siege artillery

[fathom shard]

everyone can do this in sp bro

[severe lion]

when u attack

[fathom shard]

but it's just stupid

[ivory hull]

its funny

but wastes tanks

[fathom shard]

wasting his 100k production cost tanks

[worn cliff]

i have big enough stockpile

my eco is cracked as german empire

[severe lion]

is it normala to have more divs than yugoslavia

italy

[severe lion]

as yugoslavia

wtf

[fathom shard]

yes

[severe lion]

did ui say

[ivory hull]

just because you have 100 bucks dont mean you have to burn them

[acoustic wasp]

i was planning on running a two line motorized, 2 and a half line mediums with flame support, armoured recon, anti air armour engineers

im a bit new to the game

is that some prototype i research?

[severe lion]

its militrary operation or wtv its called

attacks forts directly

[acoustic wasp]

ok i'll look for it

[worn cliff]

js wait we'll see how it goes

[severe lion]

its only on him

click him

it should be here

[ivory hull]

your gonna break it

but still

[severe lion]

once u do it he destroys forts

[ivory hull]

its inefficient

[worn cliff]

france is the easy part anyway

i tagged russia look

[severe lion]

japan done more prog than germany

barbarossa going well

[worn cliff]

i made them tsarist and gave them 90 civs + 90 mils

[ivory hull]

just play with sheeps ai

[worn cliff]

yea its cool but the AI does low ass moves icl

like getting guns 3 in 39 is kinda devious icl

because they make their colonies some sort of technocracy

with 50% research buff

[ivory hull]

the ai just plays good

[sly venture]

what do i take

[ivory hull]

full byzantine borders

[sly venture]

what are they

[young lake]

God I LOVE Czechoslovakia 🥹

[fathom shard]

is that enough mountaineers

[worn cliff]

no

[ivory hull]

one more battalion

and change field hospitals with armored engineers

[fathom shard]

you're right it rounds up to 36

[fathom shard]

no

production cost shall stay low

in mp maybe

[ivory hull]

saying no to allat?

[fathom shard]

but this is for sp

[ivory hull]

its still good

[fathom shard]

yeah this is just overpowered

[ivory hull]

ic like barely changed

for hella buffs

[fathom shard]

wdym barely changed bro

[ivory hull]

[worn cliff]

@ivory hull

[ivory hull]

[worn cliff]

[west jungle]

Are med tanks still meta?

[ivory hull]

yes

use the design the guy above send

[west jungle]

It has 0 hard attack, I’m doing sheep’s mod

[ivory hull]

[slim nexus]

Don't argue with me big fella

[warm falcon]

well should i tech into planes and paratroopers than or how else can i cross water

[slim nexus]

depends on your allies and the condition of the japanese navy

[warm falcon]

france and italy, but the ai is to dumb to set the navy right

and japanese navy is very healthy so is their air

[sly venture]

should I do ottoman or Macedonian

[slim nexus]

you could navy but fleet is a strong word maybe just subs and destroyers, but you could make a decent airforce faster then a fleet

[slim nexus]

Germany for the 287th time

[sly venture]

Germany is way too easy

[slim nexus]

no one here said it was hard homeboy

[warm falcon]

ok i could land in japan

xD

[sly venture]

I need a challenge

[warm falcon]

5 navy battles in one tile or something both lost 20 10-20 ships in each battle and i landed xD

[royal marten]

I see USA's disbanding factions and remaking them in mp, I heard its a bug/exploit, doesn anyone knolw about it

[slim nexus]

[fathom shard]

yeah i just odn't like cheating

[ivory hull]

bro tf are you talking about

how is that cheating

its just a mod

that adds more rk's

lol

[fathom shard]

you get to integrate bohemia-mahren and generalgouvernment

[ivory hull]

you dont have to

not forcing you to

[fathom shard]

yes but i only play vanilla iron man

[ivory hull]

just adds the feature

[ivory hull]

you gotta have less than 500 hours

[fathom shard]

1200 hours

[ivory hull]

and youve never played with mods?

holy

[fathom shard]

i have

[ivory hull]

so

its working for me

so i cant complain and only recommend

[fathom shard]

do you have all dlcs

[ivory hull]

yes

workshop comments are 90% bs

[fathom shard]

??

[ivory hull]

in 90% of cases the people commenting havent even read the description

or just using incompatible mods

from my experience

[static prawn]

you're saying our hearts... are of iron, 4?

[fathom shard]

and tbh i don't see the point in balkanizing the world

[ivory hull]

you can unite some rk's

[fathom shard]

if you're going for a world conquest just make reichskomissariats and then annex them

[ivory hull]

but personal preference

[ivory hull]

or

just dont make

[fathom shard]

true

i think germany has well over enough to garisson the whole world

[opal nymph]

I enjoy puppet spam because puppet spam

If only they made it to where their troops dont instantly become your unassigned divisions

[strong umbra]

everytime i ally with germany they give me the worst performance possible

[opal nymph]

One can dream

[strong umbra]

germany is losing 50 more men than the soviets

[opal nymph]

Facts

[fathom shard]

ai germany is just shit now

it used to be good against the ai soviets

[strong umbra]

im so close to stalingrad

[fathom shard]

supply of doom and despair

[strong umbra]

wby are the soviets putting all their planes against me

[ivory hull]

are you missing manpower?

[strong umbra]

no im still mobilizing

I have enough

[ivory hull]

then why arent your divs at full strength?

[strong umbra]

im also training divs so thats why

[sly venture]

retreat back to Berlin asap

[strong umbra]

oh bad supply

[sly venture]

the art of war says to retreat if you are out numbered

[strong umbra]

it was made for a bunch of ixxxciles

[strong umbra]

berlin isnt even my capital

if im retreating then im retreating to Constantinople

[sly venture]

Byzantium is one of the most fun things to play

[sly venture]

if we ignore the turkey war

[fathom shard]

the turkiye war is the easiest part

[strong umbra]

no

[strong umbra]

exactly

[sly venture]

what is the hardest then

[strong umbra]

none

[fathom shard]

fighting axis or allies

if you had to choose one

[strong umbra]

just air

[sly venture]

I had a lot of fun fighting the axis

[strong umbra]

air in this game is stupidly op

[strong umbra]

btw im fighting comintern and allies

[sly venture]

at the same time?

[strong umbra]

yes

[sly venture]

year?

[strong umbra]

41

btw italy is having its cannon event

[sly venture]

how do you kill the axis so fast

[strong umbra]

i havent

[sly venture]

nvm

[strong umbra]

im in the axis

[sly venture]

What I did was killed the axis

[crude field]

how do u win the turkey war as greece

[strong umbra]

anything works

[sly venture]

encircle em

[crude field]

clearly doesnt if u just try push normally ur too weak

[whole sun]

If microing in HOI4 is your power, what are you without it?

[strong umbra]

you see this part?

let the turkish walk into it

then naval invade behind

[crude field]

ooooo

[sly venture]

I thought I invented that way was it already known?

i thought the way everyone does it is incrcle in the choke point of insta bull

[strong umbra]

hell naw

its still 41

twhat the hellie

[forest osprey]

uhm...

they dont like me too much

this is with brutal opression btw

its at 76 now

[ivory hull]

local police force is better

whats your garrison template?

[forest osprey]

the default

[ivory hull]

which is?

[forest osprey]

idk

[ivory hull]

use a single battalion of cavalry

for your garrison

and put it on local police force

[sudden folio]

Should I start fresh or continue the world conquest using prussia

Its lit js the mughals and the qing left

And some other random stuff

[mystic arch]

8 hours straight of pure EaW gameplay i background recorded (it takes up more space than HoI4 itself)

why is turkey liberalism

[crude field]

what country is that and why did u take ireland

[forest osprey]

ulster nation

You listen to ye?

[lethal ether]

correct me if im wrong but isnt that the cheap cheap version

[ivory hull]

yes

[acoustic wasp]

chat.. what do i do here?

[errant arch]

is there a way to tell where the airfield will be when i build it?

[snow rain]

it's cheap, it's easy
it gets the job done

[errant arch]

this long ridiculous state, it could either be useless or perfect

[ivory hull]

no

[snow rain]

1 cav or 20 billion cav without MP support company is exactly the same thing

[lethal ether]

sure but 20 billion cav WITH mp is better

[ivory hull]

you can even build in enemy land if they occupy parts of the state

[slim nexus]

yeah he is a good lad really

[snow rain]

it doesn't matter much to be fair, since the airfield range is based on the center of the region it's built in
which can be funny to see in sideria where airports spawn out of range of the fighter's in it
