hoi4-general

[zenith charm]

that's the map mod it works completely fine

[prisma steppe]

but it isnt dh in itself?

[zenith charm]

it's the map mod

[stable pelican]

its the thing that leads to the ball bearing trade

[shrewd inlet]

then yeah

you get bonuses

• you can boost your allies

[zenith charm]

yeah bro i got times for festivities

[stable pelican]

so i should reject i then?

[lost dawn]

Germany did a bit of an oopsie. They declared war on me while being at war with the UK.

Now, Germany will die

[shrewd inlet]

cheering

[prisma steppe]

honestly a fun mod would be taking the colonization mod, reducing the numbers game by a fukcton like in owb, and making the tiles like in civ5

or at least funny mod not really fun i imagnine after further thought

[shrewd inlet]

no

i dont see why you would reject it

[stable pelican]

because then i get the ball trading

[shrewd inlet]

so if you reject the agreement then you get ball bearings or if you accept

I'm kinda confused

[shrewd inlet]

ohh its that

yeah I usually reject the agreement

[stable pelican]

the focus tree gets a bit confusing sometimes

[shrewd inlet]

real

I dont usually play sweden anyhow

[stable pelican]

its really fun tho

it can be strong too

[shrewd inlet]

I personally like norway more

sweden is too much of a stomp imo

[still mason]

what u guys playin

[misty fossil]

hoi4

[stable pelican]

norway is also really fun but also more hard

[misty fossil]

huge encirclement

[stable pelican]

it has also cooler formable nations

[misty fossil]

[shrewd inlet]

[shrewd inlet]

[safe wing]

You can

[shrewd inlet]

the soviets start off with the best army

[safe wing]

It’s just not fun imo

[shrewd inlet]

truth

[safe wing]

It defeats whole purpose of the game as the USSR

[strong thicket]

W template with 43 tech and max henschel?

[patent thistle]

(age of imperialism)

[wide osprey]

[lethal ether]

operation sea lion

[kind reef]

Lowk USSR might be easier than Germany

[atomic merlin]

Cap Britian before poland, take netherlands very early at the very start of war have your planes already in the chaneel and southern england you can paradrop and no british troops at home

[knotty grove]

dont

[misty fossil]

what

[lost dawn]

I am so close to making the biggest encirclement I have ever made

Just need to recapture Constantinople and the enemy will have no choice but to supply their troops via the black sea

which is where my fleet is waiting

[sly venture]

ONLY 2 fronts this looks like a good potition

[atomic merlin]

huh?

[atomic merlin]

did german ai just justify on all those countires

cause no anchluss

no conquest tree

[sly venture]

it bypasses the anchuluss

[atomic merlin]

cause faction?

[sly venture]

yes

yk when italy join your faction you can just bypass that focus?

same thing

[patent thistle]

why the flying hell did france just explode-?

[vocal bolt]

maybe a there is a focus for that ?

france has focuses to shatter germany and italy

[patent thistle]

age of imperialism and i accepted a limited treaty with france and russia

[unkempt sun]

what does the thunder of the gates dlc focus on

[patent thistle]

mostly the rest of asia from what i can read going into oceania

@fair horizon be happy australia is getting updated

[ivory kelp]

oh my

most war score

im now a major apparently

[bright arrow]

the comeback of the century

[patent thistle]

the austrian partition is so real

[iron iron]

A Russian empire path for the ussr

Would be so solid

[lucid dagger]

I haven’t done it, is it bad

[patent thistle]

boy, there already exists one-

[lucid dagger]

Yeah it comes with no step back right?

[patent thistle]

yep

[lucid dagger]

I have it

But barely play Russia

Heard it’s like.one of the only good dlc

[patent thistle]

its almost required to have for many, same could be said for BBA

[safe wing]

April-June it looks like

[patent thistle]

ye

[sly venture]

the german offensive is not slowing down

[patent thistle]

going for the "finish him" achievement?

[sly venture]

no am practising

[lucid dagger]

By blood alone??

[patent thistle]

ye mostly because the plane designer

[lucid dagger]

Does it change Italian tree?

I have gotterdamerung

[patent thistle]

yep

[lucid dagger]

Ngl I’m butt at this game

When i play Germany i can’t get past Belgium

[woven gate]

https://tenor.com/view/flight-reacts-flight-surprised-shocked-gif-14940640833910619525

[vital cove]

i was gonna ask how even did you reach that many casualties but i can already see some of the reasons

[iron iron]

So there is part of the focus tree on restoring the Russian empire?

I didn’t know that

I have no step back but I barley play USSR

[patent thistle]

"beaten but not defeated" is the path

[safe wing]

Also includes a fascist and theocratic path

[patent thistle]

i suggest avoiding the fascist path if i was you cause its boring as hell

[safe wing]

Well aware

4 civs and war goals on the Middle East is all you get

[lost dawn]

This has to be the largest encirclement I have ever made

[patent thistle]

and the choice to make a faction with germany

ig

[safe wing]

Tsar can do that too btw

[patent thistle]

ye but with the tsar it makes like 0 sense lol

[safe wing]

Actually it does make sense

Vladimir III collaborated with the Nazis irl

[glass finch]

WTF is this? why do my colonies have more faction influence than i do

[safe wing]

As well as many of the generals you get as the whites

[patent thistle]

tbf most of them just really hated communism and did not care about the nazi cause 🤷‍♂️

[safe wing]

True

[patent thistle]

if they were actually in charge i doupt they would support the genocidal ways of the nazis on their own people

[severe lion]

anyone know a good naval bomber design for unhist germany

[iron iron]

I only want Russian empire

[safe wing]

You can form the panslavic union as the Russian empire too btw

[balmy bronze]

Krasnov was a Nazi, and he was one of the most prominent members of the white movement

[severe lion]

is papa Stalin included in them

[safe wing]

You get cores on all Slavic nations

[severe lion]

WHAT

thats so op

[safe wing]

Poland, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria

[safe wing]

Not really as you only get there by 1939

[severe lion]

I hate how hungary is randomly mongolian

[balmy bronze]

Finno Ugric

[rain loom]

i capped china in oct 38 is that good?

[severe lion]

eh

[safe wing]

Hungarians always thought that as far back as the 1200s

[rain loom]

ok

[umbral agate]

how did this happen

[safe wing]

They literally thought they were descended from Attila’s Huns

[severe lion]

kinda cool how Americans and Hungarians are genetically like the same people

[balmy bronze]

That's why they're called HUNgarians tho

[stiff locust]

hey guys, I need naval superiority for an invasion but I can't quite figure it out. Why do the ships stay in port and not go add points???

[safe wing]

They even sent a guy to go find the old Hungarians basically steppe nomads and they told him about the Mongol empire

[balmy bronze]

By this logic every human on Earth is genetically same people

[severe lion]

they arent Hungarians because they are hungry thats basic hidtory

[severe lion]

no they are both Mongol

[balmy bronze]

Hungry is a description for another region on our planet

[severe lion]

imagine being bad at geography

[balmy bronze]

Couldn't be me

[balmy bronze]

Uh huh

[sly venture]

i wish there was an order to start burning everything as you fall back

[severe lion]

you're only good at geopolitics

[south mountain]

What is HOI4's lore?

[severe lion]

scorching earth

[sly venture]

yea i know

[severe lion]

russian ahh tactics

[balmy bronze]

And how did you come up to this conclusion

[safe wing]

Hungary gets cores on these right?

[severe lion]

wait why are you using Russian tactics as finland

[vague abyss]

so im cooked...

[sly venture]

whatever pays the bills bro

[south mountain]

Is Victoria 3 connected to HOI4?

[last fjord]

huns arent hungarians

[safe wing]

Yes because it ends in 1936

[safe wing]

Ik

[south mountain]

So they have the same lore?

[south mountain]

Interesting game design ngl.

[safe wing]

It’s a prequel basically

[balmy bronze]

Wow

[south mountain]

We need to research HOI4's lore.

[vague abyss]

guys im cooked what do I do

[balmy bronze]

So is base game a prequel to millenium dawn

[severe lion]

any good anti British naval bombers here?

please

[safe wing]

Millennium dawn is a unofficial spinoff

[severe lion]

pretty please

[balmy bronze]

Ah true true

[severe lion]

its just hot buns

[south mountain]

Europa Universally is a prequel to victoria 3!!!

[south mountain]

It ends in 1821*

[safe wing]

And crusader kings to Europa Universalis

[severe lion]

god forbid anyone sends me a naval bomber design

[balmy bronze]

Genius logic

[balmy bronze]

Yo

Js google ts

Not that hard

[south mountain]

So HOI4 is in the same universe

[balmy bronze]

Go on reddit

[safe wing]

And imperator Rome is a prequal to Crusader kings

[severe lion]

all of em are from 3 years ago

[balmy bronze]

Not really

[south mountain]

We need to research what happened in hoi4's universe

[balmy bronze]

Damn

How many hrs do u have

[safe wing]

Italians aren’t Roman’s and yet they can form the Roman Empire

[severe lion]

idk

[balmy bronze]

History I'd assume

[severe lion]

I have like 600 total

[foggy sentinel]

Uk backs hitting France in bed to make baby USA and baby Canada

[severe lion]

yet im still hot shit

[balmy bronze]

Why do u need naval bombers at 600 hrs tho

What for

Just build subs

[safe wing]

And Czechoslovakia can reform the Austro Hungarian empire which they would never do

[sly venture]

do i just give up on soviet land and retreat to the scandinavian countries

[severe lion]

britain

[south mountain]

Learn the navy!

[severe lion]

fuh naw gng

[balmy bronze]

You don't need to worry about navy yet

[south mountain]

Navy is ez trust me

[balmy bronze]

U playing as?

[balmy bronze]

Idk what they have done to it

[severe lion]

rt56 germany

[balmy bronze]

It was ez before

[balmy bronze]

Ahh yo

Js paratroop it

[south mountain]

Navy does the managing for you in HOI4.

[severe lion]

idc

[balmy bronze]

Whats so hard

[south mountain]

It is simple

[balmy bronze]

Air is ezier than navy

[severe lion]

im doing kaiserreich

[balmy bronze]

Yeah and?

[severe lion]

under canaris

[south mountain]

You are supposed to build a navy

[balmy bronze]

What year is it

[severe lion]

soon 39

[balmy bronze]

It's ok son, js build air

You still have time

[severe lion]

yeah but I cant find a design

thats still viable

[azure dagger]

Call Steiner bro

[balmy bronze]

Fair enough

[azure dagger]

Or bittersteel

[balmy bronze]

Idk js spam some cheap fighters to have arial superiority

And then paratroop UK

Ez

[south mountain]

Use AI to help you in your game

[safe wing]

Call this guy

[azure dagger]

Only claims

[balmy bronze]

Never trust ai in hoi4 bro

[severe lion]

fuh ai

[balmy bronze]

What kind of advice is ts💔

[severe lion]

ruins the game

[tiny iris]

I am turning off BBA, I hate the plane thingy.

Just let me play the damn game.

[south mountain]

What? Why?

[safe wing]

@vague abyss

[tiny iris]

If I wanted to design, I would play Tank Designer or whatever it is called.

[balmy bronze]

Becuz ai advises u the most diabolical nonsense

[azure dagger]

Planes are easy

[severe lion]

true

[tiny iris]

Like 5 Euros on Steam.

[severe lion]

its diabolical

[balmy bronze]

It hasn't reached a point where it understands the game yet

[severe lion]

it gave me a cas design

[vague abyss]

yessir

[azure dagger]

Also BBA is the best dlc cause of Italy focus tree

[balmy bronze]

How could one reach this point tho

[south mountain]

That is the sign to build a Navy in hoi4 as germany!

[severe lion]

mod

[balmy bronze]

It doesn't look like a mod to me

Seelow heights is different

And idk any other mods similar to ts

[vague abyss]

Sheeps mod and a bunch of mods to make the game harder (I have 5000 hours all legit)

[severe lion]

there was a endsieg mod

I saw a video on it

lemme send it rq

[balmy bronze]

Ahhhh fair enough fair enough

[south mountain]

Yo, do you want a challenging mod?

[balmy bronze]

Endsieg is dead

Seelow heights basically is a successor

[severe lion]

https://youtu.be/TrfZTzfgPTA?si=zywi7p0amW9Djmg4

here

[sly venture]

finland must be defended

[balmy bronze]

Seelow heights this is

[south mountain]

You can "downgrade" the game.

[balmy bronze]

The version

But I don't wanna

It's so bum

Let the mod be dead

[vague abyss]

dawg this is the hardest endsieg

[vocal bolt]

is there no achivement for getting wojtec on the throne

[vague abyss]

nah i already make them situations

[balmy bronze]

Not really

Just hold on to North and Denmark

[vague abyss]

this was earlier btw

[south mountain]

I recommend to you HOI4 Black Ice mod since it is actually a challenge

[balmy bronze]

And wait until Soviets and Allies kill each other

Ez

Win

[gaunt hearth]

hyelo

[vague abyss]

wait wrong ss

[balmy bronze]

He has 5k hours I think hes aware of it

[gaunt hearth]

endsieg

[south mountain]

This mod is made to be ultra fun.

[vague abyss]

this was earlier

[severe lion]

son

[balmy bronze]

Fun?

Yo what kind of black ice have you been playing to have fun in it

[gaunt hearth]

(anyone who plays this will want to point a gun to their own head)

[south mountain]

Are you doing historical?

[vague abyss]

this is what my situation was a year ago in the east... we don't talk about the historical gameplay rn

[vague abyss]

well I didn't intend to but ig

[gaunt hearth]

30 minutes of hel

[balmy bronze]

99% historical accuracy

[severe lion]

is this normal for 1938

almost 1939

[balmy bronze]

Uhhhh

[gaunt hearth]

depends on the country

[south mountain]

NO

[severe lion]

its road to 56

[balmy bronze]

Show me the total num of factories u have

[vague abyss]

we retreated out of hungry btw#

[balmy bronze]

Doesn't matter

[gaunt hearth]

what country are you playing bro

[severe lion]

i got 84 civs

[vague abyss]

but the AI has a bug with north east as soviets they sometimes abandon the pozen area

[severe lion]

unhist germany

[balmy bronze]

Kaiser germany

[gaunt hearth]

oh

[south mountain]

You don't need so many

[gaunt hearth]

depends on the mils

[south mountain]

💔

[balmy bronze]

It's ok for 1938 since u prob wasted couple starting months on civil war

[severe lion]

42

[severe lion]

yes

[balmy bronze]

Idk atp u should concentrate on mils

[severe lion]

absolutely

[south mountain]

This is bad ngl

[balmy bronze]

Very much

[severe lion]

ik but stleast I can build 5 at a time

[balmy bronze]

If ur close to 1939

[lucid dagger]

Man i love hoi

[balmy bronze]

42 mils is terrible

[south mountain]

Not worth it.

[vague abyss]

my tanks are holding the western front

[balmy bronze]

Whats ur template

[vague abyss]

good air

[south mountain]

I recommend to wait until you have 100 mils.

[balmy bronze]

Based

[south mountain]

Or else it is almost impossible to play the game.

[balmy bronze]

I mean

Org is a little low

But overall its good

[vague abyss]

I have been begging for paradox to add dynamic airfields... how is templehof airport in seelow heights yk..

[balmy bronze]

Oh

Whyd u go this doctrine tho

[sudden thistle]

No tank destroyer force?

Despite doing tank destroyers?

[balmy bronze]

Do u need it against ai tho

[vague abyss]

nah not really needed focus on org and soft attack

[balmy bronze]

Yeah

Ai barely makes tanks

And if does, very shitty ones

So not important

[vague abyss]

yeah my inf has decent org

and tanks

[balmy bronze]

Tanks a little low

I prefer mine above 35

Cuz if ur doing a breakthrough

[vague abyss]

my mec are armor cored though so they can somewhat break through the AI's 20 divs per tile

[balmy bronze]

And get pinned

Ur tanks are dead

[vague abyss]

soviets are at bay

[vague abyss]

nah ill show u my tank

[south mountain]

False

[balmy bronze]

Yo

No

[vague abyss]

high armor = free reinforce rate i literally held with 1 of these on calais against like 30 divs pinning it earlier

[balmy bronze]

31 org is not optimal

For a tank template

[south mountain]

It is above average.

[balmy bronze]

Only 5 km an hour?

So u dont use them to breakthrough

[balmy bronze]

No

[vague abyss]

yeah I got heinz gudarian on my theorist

[balmy bronze]

I get that, I mean theyre really slow

Like regular infantry

So why u even bother with them, u can js make mechanized with relatively same stats

And higher org

And way cheaper

[severe lion]

decent?

dont mind the engine

ill upgrade it

i dont have research because kaiserreich in rt56 starts without any air research

[vague abyss]

i mean I needed some reliability yk

so also we're somewhat at a stalemate time to counter

[runic spoke]

holy shit why is this flag so aura

[vague abyss]

horthy holding onto dear life, I sent in some divs because he earnt it yk

[balmy bronze]

Uhhhh

[severe lion]

sorry for no screenshot

the way I connect to internet is really shitty

[balmy bronze]

When u can add a defense turret

[severe lion]

im lazy to do it

[balmy bronze]

And overall yeh its good enough

[balmy bronze]

Its ok dw

[severe lion]

I just remembered germany stole our money

lmfao

-100 opinion

[vague abyss]

steiners counter attack

[balmy bronze]

This looks more like Wencks ca

[severe lion]

yall should try ashes of germany

rlly fun mod imo

[balmy bronze]

I only play tfr and md

[severe lion]

its alt history

[vague abyss]

YESSS

[balmy bronze]

I like modern tho

[severe lion]

Just try it out

as prussia is best

u like have to get rid of economic depression

rebuild

then justify on germanies

retake the land

[vague abyss]

I pulled my tanks from the eastern army to help, this is basically my battle of the buldge

[severe lion]

form german empire

retake ur land from poland

take ur revenge

ect

[balmy bronze]

Alrr Ill see

[balmy bronze]

Bulge

[balmy bronze]

Perfect

[vague abyss]

it actually worked

I think my tanks are meta ngl

[balmy bronze]

They're ok, meta are higher speed and org

Imo

[vague abyss]

now we take denmark

[balmy bronze]

I js cant with slow tanks that lose their org each time wind blow

[vague abyss]

gg

we also got over the river but they have so many divs and tanks they're easily pushed but lowk I think my army might be meta doctrine and tanks ngl

btw those last two tanks in the template were suppose to be spg so even more soft but yeah

gg

[sly venture]

BRO PLS CHILL

[vague abyss]

gulp

[severe lion]

what airframe are naval bombers

THE GERMANS ARE OUT OF THE SCANDANAVIANS

[chilly sapphire]

Finland is so stupidly broken

[sly venture]

i know the focus buffs are crazy

[molten forge]

non core manpower increase while spain is your neighbhour is crazy

[chilly sapphire]

Portugal gets 20 % non core

[molten forge]

ik

[chilly sapphire]

Afghan horses are most broken trust

If you stack it

Can be 60% attack

[molten forge]

might be best path besides portugal and brazil unificatoin

[chilly sapphire]

Tbh Portugal can get good industry

But wars are hard

With the axis

[molten forge]

whys that?

[severe lion]

apraleurks kejrteporne mantaro

Did you just take a photo of your screen with a phone?

[chilly sapphire]

Do you think I can afford a screen recorder

In this economy

[lost dawn]

They are free mate

in this ecomony indeed

[chilly sapphire]

Uhh

Nvm

[zenith charm]

kid called shift+win+s

[knotty vortex]

is it true the USA managed to produce 1 tank every 5 minutes at peak production during WW2

[crude field]

no way they made 300 tanks a day

surely not

[chilly sapphire]

Yeah

Somehow

Shermans were cheap to make

[knotty vortex]

i only saw the number on tiktok so could just be totally untrue

it does seem insanely high

[terse skiff]

Yeah but in game you can do much better

Usa's ic was nerfed to a quarter for balancing reasons

[zenith charm]

nice

[knotty vortex]

yeah seems untrue

wikipedia says 1943 they produced 37198 that year

which is about 101 per day

[zenith charm]

i mean there were 50k total shermans produced something

[knotty vortex]

says 88,000 tanks were produced across 1937-1944

[zenith charm]

what?

50k shermans were produced

i think you're referring to the t34

[knotty vortex]

no i’m looking at the US tank production

[zenith charm]

mind sending a screenshot

[zenith charm]

that's overall tank production not shermans only

[knotty vortex]

it is wikipedia though; so could just be wrong

oh yeah i meant overall tanks

i assume they did produce 50000 shermans

[zenith charm]

yes

it was the 2nd most produced tank in the war

[knotty vortex]

the giant did indeed wake

[molten forge]

not the navy

[vague abyss]

whats the ruhr pocket

[sly venture]

nope

[vocal bolt]

I dont think portugal can do anything lmao

[molten forge]

the allies are against them

yes sir

[vocal bolt]

join in

[molten forge]

alright

[vocal bolt]

I doubt you will get alot of warscore but you wont die thats for sure

[molten forge]

i wont join allies tho for one specific reason

that means having to fight germany

[vocal bolt]

but for the love of god keep your ports guarded

[molten forge]

[molten forge]

i have a smaller but special army ready fort hat

[south mountain]

How many languages do ya speak?

[molten forge]

maybe i can get that italian puppet yk

[zenith charm]

better than this

[molten forge]

gonna let the italians lose some supply and men while making usre germany doesnt penetrate france

mf

these french people

[zenith charm]

when the french stop attacking me

its the eastern europeans

already racking a 1:10 kd

[molten forge]

dont judge me but

what should i do instead of 3x3 infantry

[zenith charm]

well i got 9 inf with shovels arty and aa in them thats it

but i don't use them for pushing

only to hold

i have tanks to push

i'd be insane to try and push with them

[heavy vigil]

https://tenor.com/view/arting-siamese-cat-gigachad-ambatukam-ambasing-gif-26293326

[viscid mason]

hey casey

wanna play hoi4?

[heavy vigil]

rn?

[viscid mason]

maybe once i get off vic3

[heavy vigil]

so never

:P

[viscid mason]

oh in a bit

[molten forge]

is it bad i took greece islands for naval bait

[terse skiff]

Is vic3 good now?

[vocal bolt]

how did you get pushed by benelux and france

[zenith charm]

dude look at the map

[viscid mason]

im still new at the game to judge lol

[vocal bolt]

why change

if it isnt broken dont fix it

[vocal bolt]

thats a 1942 problem

that happened bc france didnt cap early enough right

my question is what happened

[zenith charm]

no

i gave myself a challenge

beat all of europe commie in the comintern

with gamerules

cuz vanilla hoi is too easy

[mighty zephyr]

neglected my navy so much i got navally invaded by italy as the uk 😭

[zenith charm]

i spiced it up

[molten forge]

it aint doing the best

[vocal bolt]

3x3 is defensive

use them to hold the line

then make another offensive division

[vocal bolt]

use it to push

[severe lion]

so much moneyyyy

[vocal bolt]

also cas

[vocal bolt]

how did you click allat

[molten forge]

italy is stronk

[severe lion]

plonker

[vocal bolt]

can you make tank divs

[molten forge]

already did

[vocal bolt]

also are you producing artilerry ?

[molten forge]

theyer horrible but i am already in the war

[molten forge]

hell yea

[vocal bolt]

if you feel like infantry is not doing great you can add one line arty

not optimal but should give you a little bit of a kick

[severe lion]

HOLY GUACAMOLE

[vocal bolt]

DAMN

[molten forge]

too late

[severe lion]

@chilly sapphire@sly venture1940 btw

almost

[vocal bolt]

moar mils

[zenith charm]

really

[craggy trail]

<@&846894118219022336>

[vocal bolt]

<@&846894118219022336>

haha

did it first

[wide osprey]

[gaunt garden]

I have a question,does it matter on where you put a type of division,like panzer or cavarly or smfh,like does it for a example mean anything if you put a template in the rhineland in instead of koninsberg

[uncut pollen]

Keep dreaming

[severe lion]

what is france doing

soviets delayed my attack

[gaunt garden]

Anyone?

[severe lion]

free pic

[vocal bolt]

what

[gaunt garden]

I really need a answer to this

[vocal bolt]

go through maginot

[vocal bolt]

yes

[severe lion]

free land

[vocal bolt]

every troop has a diffrent modifier for a type of terrain

movement attack and defense

[gaunt garden]

Ohh so it's terrain,ik like cavarly is good in flat land

[molten forge]

i lowk wish i understood navy

[vocal bolt]

yes

and tanks suck balls in marsh and mountain

[gaunt garden]

Ok now how does consumer goods affect you,like I always see the mefo bills,like why should you keep track of factory output and consumer goods

@vocal bolt

[vocal bolt]

% of factories you cant use

civ factories

a certain percentage is always for consumer goods

like lets say you got 50% consumer goods (not good) and have 10 civs

you can only build with 5 civs

mobilization and some advisors lower that

you want it as low as possible

[gaunt garden]

Consumer goods is basically like products and stuff right

That we use usually

[vocal bolt]

civilian stuff

[terse skiff]

You have a base percentage of consumer goods needed based on your econ law and the consumer goods factor is a percentage based buff

[vocal bolt]

you cant use them

[terse skiff]

The equation is on wiki

[vocal bolt]

you want it as low as possible

[molten forge]

what nation should i play (i got bored of portugal)

[ivory hull]

soviet union

[vocal bolt]

mexico

[terse skiff]

Tbh in early game things like 15% consumer goods factor means like 1 less civ so it doesn't matter a lot

[molten forge]

mexico and soviet, lowk never played those

[gaunt garden]

Ok final question how do you build factories?like I always see % on them and I think you shoulda build on the ones with low stuff,like I don't know how much money I have since everything costs some money,like when I started the game I always maxed everything with civilian and millitary favorites

[gaunt garden]

Hallo,maybe uh unite south america as Brazil and get all of the americas

[vocal bolt]

depends on nation and playstyle

[molten forge]

no dlc

[molten forge]

i ended up deciding to go carlist spain

[vocal bolt]

like I wouldnt really build alot of civs as germany bc you conquer alot of people and steal their industry

[terse skiff]

3.5 years before war, start building mils

[molten forge]

early game still build some

[terse skiff]

So if you start war when Germany invaded Poland, mils on day1

[vocal bolt]

if you are a minor nation build just civs untill atleast 15 civs

otherwise buidling other stuff will take forever

[terse skiff]

You'll get that by like 1945

Just build mils, you get civs through focuses

[molten forge]

if youre france just invade germany right after getting a war goal

[vocal bolt]

I am including focuses too

[gaunt garden]

One thing I always do which I think Isnt good is how I always force the military to attack instead of planning,like make it red,like as communist yugoslavia I wanted Bulgaria it was pretty weak only 13 divs and I 25,so I attacked thinking it was easy but I could get anything

[vocal bolt]

never force attack

[terse skiff]

Watch segl

[vocal bolt]

unless naval invasion or somn

[terse skiff]

Or maybe 71cloak although his stuff might be outdated

[molten forge]

btw if am going carlist should i rush the carlist uprise or not

[vocal bolt]

idk I dont play spain

[molten forge]

my best has been winning as anarchist

[gaunt garden]

I watch bittersteel and some other YouTuber that doesn't really help in hoi4(swince ball)

[vocal bolt]

basicaly

[molten forge]

but germany went demo and i didnt wanna fight the germano-french alliance

[vocal bolt]

always try to have a frontline and frontline order even if you wont use the plan

it gives you planning bonus

which is one of the most powerful things in the game

[terse skiff]

Bittersteel provides things that newbies can follow. If you want to improve you need to go to more advanced ytbers

[vocal bolt]

also

what divisions do you make

thats also very important

most ai ones suck mega balls

italy "tank" divison

lmao

[gaunt garden]

I'm still a noob so I think cavarly is bad and outdated so I almost always do infantry

[terse skiff]

Sooner or later you'll realize there are only three things that matter for an army: atk, max planning bonus, and terrain buffs. Maybe aa if you can't get green air

[vocal bolt]

how many inf

canyou send picture of the division design ?

[vocal bolt]

towed aa my goat

[terse skiff]

Ok actually I forgot hospital support, those things are extreme qol upgrades

[gaunt garden]

Not playing hoi4 rn,but I for some reason sometimes max it out,I know it's bad but idk how I should calculate it

[terse skiff]

Just read pins in help

[vocal bolt]

thats

not very good

[terse skiff]

Also worry more about industry and production, that's 80% of the game. Templates are at most 5%

[vocal bolt]

unless mass doc

[vocal bolt]

the 15% is cas and supply

[terse skiff]

Cas and air

[vocal bolt]

best starting point for divs is 3x3 btw

[terse skiff]

Not just cas

[vocal bolt]

eh I meant air when I said cas

[vocal bolt]

do 9 inf and support arty

[noble anchor]

i suck at this game so bad, i lost a war with poland as germany

[vocal bolt]

how

[noble anchor]

idk how do i improve in wars

[vocal bolt]

did you leave maginot undefended

[terse skiff]

Follow bittersteel's Germany guide and try to recreate his steps

[vocal bolt]

what did you do bro

I think you can even just battleplan through poland

[vocal bolt]

I feel like the issue wasnt army

[noble anchor]

got some horseys and infantry and use front line and offensive line

[vocal bolt]

prob just supply

[terse skiff]

Maybe they're half equipped

[vocal bolt]

no tanks ?

did you get your planes out aswell

[vocal bolt]

watch bittersteel and learn to micro

playing for encirclements is a great way to win wars

poland already starts with a half closed pocket too

[terse skiff]

You don't need encirclements to take out Poland and Benelux and france

Pure inf can easily win against them

He's doing something horribly wrong

[vocal bolt]

I am just tryna teach in general

poland itself takes like 0 effort and you can win it without learning like half the stuff

using all the strats on poland will be practice

[severe lion]

which 1 of these is genuinely the best for naval bomb

[vocal bolt]

id just do medium airframe

you already have it researched

[sly venture]

i came to the conclusion that this empire is bugged

[severe lion]

do u have a decent design atleast

[vocal bolt]

no

[noble anchor]

this is how it looked like, like right before the war ended

[terse skiff]

Heavies cuz you can stack 3 torpedoes

[vocal bolt]

ah

but yeah

just nothing but torpedos

[severe lion]

i have to send my units to get rubber

damn it

[severe lion]

u mean large

[vocal bolt]

quick trip to the dutch east indies should fix it

[severe lion]

HOLD TIGHT

[terse skiff]

Oh yeah mb

[vocal bolt]

its lowkey diabolical how germany can just snipe the dutch indies at the start of the game

[severe lion]

wtf is GER_heavyarmorcar

[vocal bolt]

armor car

[rapid furnace]

is this a good construction set up

[vocal bolt]

no

[severe lion]

i either just lose airplanes or lose airplanes that killed enemies for now

im tryna get rid of the bad planes rq

[vocal bolt]

dont build the experiemntal facility

takes forver

and you are a minor you want have use for half of the stuff till 40s

[severe lion]

radar tho

[vocal bolt]

build a few civs/infastruce then mil it up

[severe lion]

oh

its ground

[gaunt garden]

Oh-
I also don't know how to give them their equipment like for infrantry I saw that it wasn't doing good,so I made alit of guns,also I Force deploy when it is green and looks good,since I don't think it automatically drops when it's good

[severe lion]

just make air facilities

radar

[severe lion]

sta seres

[vocal bolt]

if you have by blood alone just steal navies instead of building em

[vocal bolt]

bro

heh as 11 civs

[obsidian sigil]

Will britain guarantee nations in any random order or will it do first one justified on first one that gets guarantee

[severe lion]

6

didnt know

[vocal bolt]

afaik first to finish getting declared on

or somn like that

[obsidian sigil]

Scheibe

[gaunt garden]

Sorry I'm a noob

[vocal bolt]

what non historical does to a mf

[knotty vortex]

its a bit annoying tbh

everything in non hist just turns into everybody agaisnt me

[vocal bolt]

does fracne still ahve disjointed govement

[severe lion]

i genuinely have no idea waht i was doing here but is it decent

[knotty vortex]

nope

[vocal bolt]

yeah you are cooked

[knotty vortex]

they basically got capped by the british and i revived them

[gaunt garden]

Isn't not talking in English not allowed in this server anyway

[snow rain]

medium airframe, make it heavy fighter-naval bomber

[severe lion]

like 2 words gonna do much

[gaunt garden]

I'm just asking

I don't wanna have beef with you

[severe lion]

https://tenor.com/view/heart-hearteyes-eyes-tom-and-gif-24318898

[snow rain]

either go all in on torps or all in on light attack
no mixing and certainly not stacking air atk

[severe lion]

there are 3k on english channel

anti air might be useful

[snow rain]

if you don't have air, your navy will die

[terse skiff]

Just build good fighters

Ai Uk doesnt know how to use supermarine

[snow rain]

no matter how much anti air, you'll have crappy navy and get bombed anyway

[serene breach]

holy supplies

[severe lion]

@snow rain

[snow rain]

you're using a wrong module or the wrong ariframe

[severe lion]

improved medium

[snow rain]

the design I sent is on the basic chassis
you can ditch air an defense module

[severe lion]

this is the min

no more allowed

[knotty vortex]

when do i use the price control decisions

is there a certain point in the MEFO bills?

[ivory hull]

immediately

[knotty vortex]

like literally just spam them all?

[ivory hull]

yes

[knotty vortex]

are they 1 time choices

[ivory hull]

no

[vocal bolt]

dont they keep consumer down

[ivory hull]

you can do all

[vocal bolt]

they come back

afaik

[knotty vortex]

oh awesome

[molten forge]

anyone wanna do mp

[knotty vortex]

ohhh

the cheap ones also give negative modifiers

i see

[molten forge]

i feel like rage quitting

where the hell are these 2 last cities

[knotty vortex]

you dont need to kill these guys

theyre not majors

they cap if you kill the majors

[molten forge]
