I know a lot of their appeal is that they get a lot of territory very quickly.

proud tapir
#

That depends

old echo
#

And taking the time to establish a spy agency would slow that down.

#

does Romania get a lot of cores?

i have hoi4 subscription but some arent available

old echo

#

how do i solve this other than buying them

proud tapir
#

but

#

im not sure, it could help with garrisons for that compliance

#

I hope Romania gets reworked soon

they are fun but outdated and lacks flavour

#

On that note, does the collaboration government only take effect if you properly stage a land invasion, or does their peaceful annexation ignore it?

proud tapir
old echo
#

You can choose who to split it with.

proud tapir
#

i always invaded them

old echo
#

You can invite either Hungary or Italy to split Yugoslavia. The guide I read suggested holding off on annexing Hungary until Yugoslavia was gone, splitting Yugoslavia with Hungary, then taking the focus to invade Hungary. You get the entirety of Yugoslavia out of the bargain instead of splitting it.

i forgot which mod had freikorps lead Germany

I made some drawing can I show it somewhere

Like is there a channel

For example, fighting japan as poland

#

u could raise resistance in china or something

#

and long drawn out wars

old echo
#

Yeah, you can use spies to wage a "soft war" - kind of like the Cold War. You can stay "neutral" while screwing over some other nation by making the war they're fighting much, much harder.

#

dude i dont know if this is an unpopular or opinion or not but like

#

going from the newer dlc-touched countries like germany and japan

#

to america

#

its like a punch in the face

#

why does america not have a starting factory line

#

with trucks

ripe slate
#

America is especially bad though imo

bright sinew
#

why do they not have any damn trains being made

#

at all in the beginning of the game

#

what the hell is this

#

this is stupid lol

ripe slate
#

tbf some countries may start with a fair few trains

bright sinew
#

i understand they're in a civilian economy at the beginning of the game/in this time but like

#

just having 10 factories and they're not even all assigned and there's just infantry equipment, artillery, and the basic small airframe and thats it(do they even start with support equipment being produced?) is kinda silly to me and thats just one small minor dumb thing

vital cove
#

why do some countries start without train being researched

#

how does that even work

#

train existed for decades at that point

bright sinew
ripe slate
#

Tbf your trains are notoriously bad rn so probably better back then

#

at least you can still kind of cheese the end of the great depression easy asf

it really doesnt make sense how most european nations cant make any trains at all though

i just want to be able to click commandeer civilian trains

woeful knoll
#

also it makes sense for khotan ma not to have trains

vital cove
woeful knoll
#

cuz its a warlord state in the middle of the gobi desert with 0 factories

vital cove
#

ok and? they might not have the industry to produce trains but they know how trains work

#

i mean ofc irl logic doesn't exist in game

#

but its still stupid

woeful knoll
#

This makes 0 sense cuz how do u go from "HISPANIC empire" to malaysian empire

How does a country switch ethnicies twice and remain with there cores in hispanic countries

# warm falcon already 2,5 years

what is annoying for me is that if you go france 1939, put 14 divisions on the maginot line, and use the rest of your military to naval invade italy thru rome, you'll make italy capitualate EASILY but when you put your army on the alps, germany will NEVER go around the maginot, and the game will stay at a stand still

#

germany will never burn thru their equipment either, at that point the AI is literally cheating

the game glitched so I had to take most of siberia btw

they had like 2x-3x the number of divisions

I would use tanks but there arent many good templates without dlcs

I cant use sp or flame tanks or other tank companies

try to do inf only against something like this

well i still won using spgs and by nuking planning with operatives but yeah

Does anyone know if there are any mods (compatible with Road to 56) that allow for the editing of divisions to more detail? Like being able to edit brigades, and even battalions, companies, platoons and squads? I know it would get really gritty, but the army editing is like my favorite part of the game.

The base of tank

But its determined mostly

Like your Theatre of war

You can't create a random Bulgarian tank

With German Pak 40

You need to use Krupp 75 L/27

#

And engines from old Panzers III

#

Protect this tank from enemies artillery

#

Be sure, it won't break random way

And totally safe for crew members

Instead of creating esse

It was heavy interceptor / tank destroyer

Became useless

Due to unmixable conceptions

#

are bicycles playable

#

i never tried them

shrewd inlet
#

they're goated

vital cove
#

i assume they probably have inf but worse stats

shrewd inlet
vital cove
#

do they count as mounted infantry

heavy vigil
shrewd inlet
#

they should?

heavy vigil
#

br/bel/nl/japan get them

heavy vigil
vital cove
#

ok so they're identical stats besides speed for double the cost

#

lmao

heavy vigil
#

yes

#

you can use them

vital cove
#

i could do a Japan bicycle game

heavy vigil
#

its a unit for sure

shrewd inlet
#

only real mounted divs that are worth it is camels and elephantry

heavy vigil
vital cove
#

mostly

heavy vigil
#

haafy you should do bicycle inf only japan it would actually be kind of hard

vital cove
#

as a better cav

shrewd inlet
#

yeah

heavy vigil
#

well you have to fully equip them or its easy

shrewd inlet
#

They have decent desert stats

heavy vigil
#

you have to set artificial limits to challenge yourself

shrewd inlet
#

true

vital cove
#

why would it be hard

shrewd inlet
#

I've been playing Nationalist China like crazy, they're actually really fun

vital cove
#

i kill and core china

shrewd inlet
vital cove
#

its fine

#

it's Japan

shrewd inlet
#

I havent played jap so I wouldnt know

heavy vigil
shrewd inlet
#

all i do in asia is splay China and bully Japan players

#

❤️

vital cove
#

#

its fine

#

I'll beat china mid 38

#

shrewd inlet
#

well yeah you just drop into shanghai and nanjing is freew

vital cove
shrewd inlet
#

China isnt that bad

vital cove
#

well in vanilla it is

heavy vigil
vital cove
#

china is not terrible but japan starts in a way better situation

shrewd inlet
#

Well yeah

#

feudal society vs "modern" nation

vital cove
#

unless ofc you also have warlords players

shrewd inlet
#

naw

#

warlords as players actively hinders you

wet flicker
#

ive been cycling non stop too

shrewd inlet
#

literally just steal their divs and use them as org walls on the yellow river and the coast

shrewd inlet
#

China scales really fast

heavy vigil
vital cove
heavy vigil
#

warlords and prc have better mils

vital cove
#

they can rush gun techs for you

#

they can produce better

#

research better

heavy vigil
#

warlords filled with players would be goated

shrewd inlet
#

prc is the only warlord I'd want 🥀

#

all the other ones are getting annexed

heavy vigil
shrewd inlet
#

I do not need a nnortheastern army player

99% of the people who play warlords are trolls 😭

vital cove
heavy vigil
#

china war balance is china favoured

shrewd inlet
#

big shock

heavy vigil
#

its just, the warlord ai doesnt work well together

vital cove
#

but some others you can't annex easily

shrewd inlet
#

It's actually accurate historically 🙏

heavy vigil
#

like your eco was just not enough

#

they still won

#

but thats because skill issue japan

shrewd inlet
#

China pre NCNS was significantly better starting wise, the army debuffs were pretty ass but you get hella xp from grinding against warlords

heavy vigil
#

like trust me when i say this

#

everyone used to have a skill issue as japan

shrewd inlet
#

China post NCNS scales faster

heavy vigil
#

even the meta players

shrewd inlet
#

I've seen so many jap players bounce on china

#

it's so funny

heavy vigil
#

skill issue

shrewd inlet
#

bounce on china and day 1 get naval invaded by USA

heavy vigil
#

china cant bounce pre ncns if you set up correctly

#

its not a thing

#

like you cant bounce japan

shrewd inlet
#

pre ncns Japan can bounce on china

heavy vigil
#

no

shrewd inlet
#

Yeah

heavy vigil
#

only skill issue japan can

shrewd inlet
#

uhuh

heavy vigil
#

you crit a lot

shrewd inlet
#

literally the worst thing abt china now is not having day 1 acess to the yellow river or beijing

heavy vigil
#

id play pre ncns war with you

shrewd inlet
#

everything else is goated

heavy vigil
#

china cant win it

shrewd inlet
heavy vigil
#

nah

shrewd inlet
#

I'm a shitter so I cant, but it is possible

#

naw, the japanese space lasers strike chiang kai shek's house

#

😭

#

pre ncns

heavy vigil
#

you need to add line arty pre ncns

#

to crit

#

and escalate before pushing

shrewd inlet
#

LINE ARTI 💀

#

we love line arti

heavy vigil
#

and you can also get inf leader in ethiopia

vital cove
heavy vigil
#

thats why people had skill issue with china

#

no crit

#

then you bounce and die

shrewd inlet
#

line art iis the funniest thing ever

heavy vigil
#

but if you crit china is unholdable

#

#

there will be a lot of small naval invasions

wet flicker
#

vital cove
#

wet flicker
#

but ig it happens at random

heavy vigil
wet flicker
#

allies havent done it once this entire game bruh

heavy vigil
#

you have to actively neglect the d day wall for them to even land

wet flicker
#

#

vital cove
wet flicker
#

#

i forgot to switch off free trade

vital cove
#

that's what the convoys are used for that

vital cove
#

its just lend lease

wet flicker
#

yea its lend lease

#

that and free trade prob

vital cove
#

feee trade doesn't matter

wet flicker
#

switched it off and i got so much back tho

vital cove

hey, so I need help, like each time I try to play vanille again I suck and get bored, while so I stopped and played only KR, and had a lot of fun but I wish to find a way to go back to vanilla and have fun again there so I can experience all DLCs content

if that interests you

if he cant play vanilla i dont think he can play sheep

#

Which is more fun, France or Italy

#

Or the UK

#

or Portugal

#

Or Spain

#

Or Japan

heavy vigil

id say like

rich gulch
#

I have no idea what I’m doing with navy btw

#

Trying to learn it

heavy vigil
#

japan>italy>portugal>uk>france>spain

rich gulch

But it’s harder than my algebra

rich gulch
heavy vigil
rich gulch
#

Japan has a lot of missions and if you don’t complete them you lose a lot of pp and stuff

#

And idk why but I can’t push through China

heavy vigil
#

beat up and annex china with collabs, make a lot of air, fight against allies with airforce and special forces

rich gulch
#

I’ll try to look up a guide

heavy vigil
rich gulch
#

Oh wow

#

This is a bit too much

#

And be honest for me is navy worth learning

lusty orbit

rich gulch
#

Japan seems so hard

#

Compared to Italy and France

#

Maybe it’s just because there’s a lot of navy involved

heavy vigil

france is also hard tho

2.5% of the way there

defended against the german blitz as uss

#

uk takes everything

#

i put 3m germans 6ft under too

#

smh

sly venture
#

what is harder Germany world conquest or uk world conquest

shrewd inlet
#

uhhh

#

honestly I'd say germany

#

UK has a much better placement

cold gazelle
sly venture
#

Japan is most likely easy if you know how to play it

rich gulch
#

Idk anything about navy

sly venture
rich gulch
#

And every time I play Italy or Germany my entire navy gets sunk by the uk

sly venture
rich gulch
#

It’s not my choice

#

They’re in the allies

#

And I have to deal with them when I invade France or Poland

sly venture
#

k use paratroopers then

pliant yacht
#

I remember the good old times

#

When you could just block UK with 100 submarines

#

For our sadness

#

Fleet was reworked

snow rain
#

You can still do exactly that

#

What changed that made it impossible to do ?

snow rain
heavy vigil
#

but you can still raid them

#

i think they mean initial mtg patches and stuff

snow rain
#

Yes but they're talking about blockade

heavy vigil
#

when it was 1 ship = 1 supremacy

#

also they kill subs

#

ive had a lot die trying to blockade uk later in game as brasil

#

but tbf they were all basic subs

#

many died

snow rain
#

Yeah well basic subs are made to die

heavy vigil
#

but what if you make more of them

#

tbh i was just too lazy to research navy

#

still sealioned tho

#

through the northern route even
