[dusky burrow]

6 usd is cheap, but when has paradox sold a dlc for 6 usd

[maiden bolt]

The German Reich Has Collapse And the Axis Alliance has been dismantle The Ottoman Empire has Won

[empty furnace]

Hmm no time to play hoi4 anymore 😔

[sly venture]

they need to buff sub visibility

half the time it does not even work

[empty furnace]

I really gotta give kaiserredux eurasian union a replay

[sly venture]

also subs are a big investment if you want low visibility

[gritty tundra]

idk what im doing but atleast this sea is mine

a humble task force

2 CL borrowed from the english

and one rushed old sub

[acoustic grove]

first time i ever beat a regional power(s) as a minor nation

[cedar charm]

is this a good division

[woven gate]

dude made the wall

[gritty tundra]

the brick

[heavy vigil]

its goated

[fair horizon]

Chat were any of the ncns minor nations fun?

[fair horizon]

[heavy vigil]

prc

uuuhh

kumul khanate

uuuuhhh

allegedly some people had fun with khotan ma

[vast briar]

PISS for our time

[fair horizon]

I mean real nations with a coast i actually want to play

[heavy vigil]

uhm

they gave manchukuo a naval focus

it gives dalian, 2 dockyards and a destroyer

oh

oh philippines

they have navy foci

[fair horizon]

How is phillipines good though

[heavy vigil]

they get navy buffs

crazy navy buffs

they can also take the USN

[fair horizon]

Taking navies? 🤮

I like building my navies

Also hii casey

[heavy vigil]

YOU HAVE BUFFS FOR IT

im just saying you can do either or

[heavy vigil]

im going to SLEEP

good NIGHT (i hope youre doing well)

[woeful knoll]

ethiopia is hell

[lethal ruin]

welp

[dusky burrow]

35 combat width 25/0 hmmmm

but yeah it's goated

[pale flare]

yeah imma start investing more into naval bombers next now that ai seems to properly use em

[grand matrix]

Historically accurate naval aviation

[spring acorn]

This is without eastern German divisions btw

[gritty tundra]

bro im in a shitty situation

i want more manpower but i have to core polynesia as new zealand but to do that i have to take some island from USA and the only way is for USA to join the allies in 1942 or sum which means im crippled until then

i was able to take the islands from japan by joining their faction tho

the other way is to fight the US but that seems like a suicide

[misty fossil]

interesting flavour text

[gritty tundra]

yeah i think i shouldnt sweat it

time to play as another disadvantageous country

[twin nebula]

instead of making shitty updates paradox should add the thing we all really need

the IJA anti-misquito gear unit model

[azure kernel]

Sup guys

[azure kernel]

Damn right. Chill out for now strengthen your navy too so that you coukd transport your own men, supplies, plus more naval power means more defence for your territories in bodies of water as you, as New Zealand, is an archipelago

[misty fossil]

i still have 0 dominance in the english channel

what the hell?

[azure kernel]

Dont sweat it, build your army or navy stop challenging others for now and focus on yourself

Build factories, supply lines, hell even the air force

[misty fossil]

wdym

[azure kernel]

Sovetky Soyuz huh thats impressive yk :))

Its like my fav ship

[woven gate]

battleships have so much aura

[azure kernel]

Agree

[dusky burrow]

one hundred thirty

[maiden bolt]

American Empire vs Ottoman Empire They Both Got Nuclear Weapons who would win

[azure kernel]

Theyre big floating steel beasts capble of firing calibers larger than humans

[azure kernel]

Ottomans

The Americans are too far away it will take multiple ships to invade Ottomans as they are quite far

[azure kernel]

Stretching supply lines of the US would be like trying to see how much you can stretch your femur

[azure kernel]

What year is that?

[misty fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/feels-the-aura-gif-2347929915833160550

[azure kernel]

What year is the event of the game

[misty fossil]

anyway i dont get why i dont have naval dominance

[maiden bolt]

1946

[misty fossil]

i killed every single british capital ships

the us lost half their fleet

[azure kernel]

Ill still go for Ottomans

Supply lines too long

It takes too much time for the Americans to transport troops if they run out

Yeah sure they both have atomic bombs, but the range of Americans' atomic bombs are going to take a while to even arrive to the territories or important places of the Ottomans

Same with the Ottomans too

I doubt them even trying to use atomic bombs on each other using planes is fully possible as i bet they are all gonna get hit with AA soon by stabdby ships or standby AA's on their enemies' soil

[maiden bolt]

you know the ottomans and americans have Long reach Missiles right

[azure kernel]

Only the Germans had missiles during ww2 i doubt they already have missiles

[warm falcon]

you can just research them xD

[grand matrix]

Can you make Soviet Union into a monarchy again?

I haven’t tried them yet

[azure kernel]

And if the Ottomans tried, they would only hit the North-West of African territory of the Americans

[warm falcon]

thats it, playing with console now again and white peace everytime with the us, wont start thousands of time new

[azure kernel]

Yes, probably the Americans have missiles standed by in their North-West African territory but imagine if the Ottomans get to destroy those nuclear sites

[warm falcon]

what you talking about

[azure kernel]

Look at their territories far apart

[warm falcon]

you build a facility for aircrafts and stuff and research special projects for mrbm

[azure kernel]

Theyre going to hit each other with MRBM's and i think thats a big thing they can do but an in ground invasion would be suicide as they both have powerful navies and their MRBM's are gonna run out if they dont got enough. I just dont think theyre gonna be able to kill each other fully immediately but the US has an advantage of their major cities not being hit by the Ottomans' MRBM's as it is way over on America and MRBM's have 1k-3k Km of range

[warm falcon]

they have 12k km of range and the ai dont really use the rockets anyway

so the ottomans still win since its himself playing as ottomans

xD

[azure kernel]

Oh yeah absolutely human beats AI in that game as long as the AI doesnt think like Napoleon XD

I didnt realise the Ottomans were the human guys

While the Americans were the AI

[trim plume]

neither because ai is as intelligent as a 4chan user trying to not commit crimes against humanity unless its about going against really bad people

and human makes mistakes

[azure kernel]

Correct

There is still a chance that AI could still win in this game

[grand matrix]

Question, so US joined Allies with me (Britain) being in the head of it, but the pop-up says they’re close to take control of it (at 90%). Is there a way to enforce my position in it?

[trim plume]

spam industry

and or spam air

[warm falcon]

there is, but the ai dont "steal" your alliance

[grand matrix]

I have like 140 military factories and 110 civies

Over the entire Commonwealth, most in the main Britain

[trim plume]

actually ai can't out division you

[fair horizon]

Dont let them have more factories or troops

[trim plume]

they do steal your alliance

if you have less factories or troops

[grand matrix]

Ic

[grand matrix]

Time to make more divisions

[fair horizon]

They can assume control

[grand matrix]

I kinda neglected it

But I do need to invade Mexico again

[trim plume]

its either divisions or js spam factories

[grand matrix]

And then Japan

[azure kernel]

Extend your supply lines and make more CAS in case of a land invasion through your coast

[fair horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/mass-effect-harbinger-collectors-video-games-reapers-gif-14520191

[azure kernel]

Prepare bombers

[warm falcon]

well there are a lot of times where the ai was stronger than me and they never took control of it

[trim plume]

look its the ai

[grand matrix]

Against US?

[trim plume]

what do you expect

vro

[azure kernel]

Well yes if you want your island safey safey

[grand matrix]

Lwk, it’s 1941, and Kingdom of Germany just defeated USSR

Japanese Shogunate took half of its territory

[azure kernel]

The US will be distracted by Germany

And Japan

[grand matrix]

Germany is Democratic

They’re a consitutional monarchy

[azure kernel]

Excuse me WHAT?

[azure kernel]

[fair horizon]

If you occupy states it counts towards the leadership thingy

[grand matrix]

Yeah

[azure kernel]

What about Japan

[grand matrix]

Italy is now Chezoslovakian Italy

Mexico is communist and tried to invade US

[grand matrix]

Japan became a Shogunate again

[grand matrix]

Twice btw

They became socialist twice

[azure kernel]

Are they an enemy of the Americand?

[grand matrix]

That’s how I got territory in Mexico

Because I sent troops there

[grand matrix]

Not sure

[azure kernel]

Well what you should do is befriend Mexico and try to convince them to attack the US form the South so that you can attack from the East using transport ships

[grand matrix]

Soviet Union doesn’t exist anymore, it’s democratic too now I think

[azure kernel]

Thats what id do

[azure kernel]

My baby...

[grand matrix]

Btw

It’s all still 1941

Actually no

[azure kernel]

MY SWEET SWEET BABYYY TURND DEMOCRATIC!😭

[grand matrix]

1940

But

[azure kernel]

Pearl Harbour doesnt happen until 1942

[grand matrix]

I have made all my Dominions into Commonwealth of Nations

I now am the biggest bird of the world

[azure kernel]

Is your game historical?

[grand matrix]

….yeeeeeeeeees?

[azure kernel]

Wdym

[grand matrix]

No it’s not

[azure kernel]

💀

[grand matrix]

I’m just joking around

[fair horizon]

Historical is boring

[azure kernel]

Then Pearl Harbour will possibly not happen

[azure kernel]

It helps

A bit

[grand matrix]

I wanna try USSR next

[fair horizon]

Everyone joins the allies and you cant have fun

[grand matrix]

Turn them into a monarchy if I can

[azure kernel]

Is it historical?

No?

Yes?

[grand matrix]

No it’s not lol

I just said

[azure kernel]

[fair horizon]

I mean you can completely game stuff because certain things dont happen until certain times

[azure kernel]

Alright then yeah just try to station troops on East coast of US and make then distracted by Mexicans in the South

[grand matrix]

I’m lwk

[azure kernel]

Yeah

[grand matrix]

Prob just gonna take Mexico entirely

They’re a nuisance

[azure kernel]

[grand matrix]

And then Japan

[azure kernel]

[grand matrix]

Actually

[fair horizon]

Ahistorical is great because ww2 can kick off in 1937

[grand matrix]

Wait

I forgot

Mexico doesn’t exist anymore

U.S. took all of it

[azure kernel]

I wouldnt dare Japan they have a powerful Navy

[azure kernel]

Oh my gahh...

[fair horizon]

You're playing britian right? Just take over france

[grand matrix]

I’m literally THE mf British Empire

I shall rule the waves

[azure kernel]

I guess their friendship after 800 years of war has to end i guess and turn themselves to prime nemesis

[grand matrix]

They took all of Spain

[azure kernel]

Yes... youre acting like Queen Victoria now oh no ohhh no no.

[fair horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/british-march-walking-gif-15489877

Brittania rules the waves

[azure kernel]

I can hear the song

[fair horizon]

Not france

[grand matrix]

That’s why I’m spamming carriers

And gonna start building my marines

[azure kernel]

CROSS TO THE ENGLISH CHANNEL, MEN!

GOD SAVE THE KING

[grand matrix]

It’s funny

We’re still a consitutional monarchy

[fair horizon]

this was the charter

[grand matrix]

Churchill is the prime rn

I’m developing nuclear stuff

Then need to start developing rockets

Make a rocket battleship

And finish my jets

And then I should be ready to start playing EaW

[fair horizon]

EAW is so good i hate it

[grand matrix]

I tried it and Changelings beat my ass bruh

I had to roll back to vanilla to learn the mechanics better

And lwk got addicted

No wonder people have thousands of hours on this game

And that’s without any DLCs yet

[fair horizon]

I played the changelings and beat equestria's ass

[grand matrix]

So it was YOU

[fair horizon]

Chrissy demanded their love or w/e

[grand matrix]

Okay chrissy is hot I can accept that

But I wanted to try the what I thought was easiest nation to play

As it turned out, Equestria is pretty tough to play

Maybe I should try them out

Changelings are just a copy-paste of Germany no?

Do they have actual interesting mechanics?

[woeful knoll]

Does german ai have a secret buff?

Why are there divisons so good

playing poland rn, literally all red bubbles on offense, even tho we have same divs and i literally outnumber them

[fair horizon]

Yeah they have a mechanic that turns every country's resistance to like 90%

[icy egret]

Just beat Equestria on Elite difficulty with them being max buffed

The trick is that Equestria doesn’t mobilize if you just don’t invade Olenia till way later, so purposely handicap yourself by not making them your puppet and letting Olenia build.

[fair horizon]

Yeah but then you have to naval invade

[icy egret]

Oh and just invade Griffonia in the meantime through Northern Tribes and Skynavia

[icy egret]

No Olenia still surrenders after pushing just a little bit.

[fair horizon]

I like pushing through the crystal empire to stalliongrad

[icy egret]

That is a good strat I like doing that

[fair horizon]

I should do a crystal empire playthrough

[fair horizon]

They get attack bonuses on you

Like 15% attack and def

[icy egret]

Crystal Empire is so assss don’t do it

It sounds fun but it isn’t

[fair horizon]

Y tho

[icy egret]

It’s focus tree and content is so old

Insanely old

The Sombra tree is okay because he is hot

but yeah all trees and content for crystal empire are ancient. It gets no cores, no expansion options, no nothing.

Sombra fascist path can invade Equestria and is strong and gets cores but it is monumentally bare on focuses and events.

[jovial kite]

I feel like the no compromises dlc should’ve been labeled as a theater pack because well it updated japan’s and china’s focus trees

And Manchuria

[grand matrix]

He’s so right?

[grand matrix]

Isn’t it bad?

[grand matrix]

As Chnagelings?

[icy egret]

Yeah

[grand matrix]

Hmm gocha gocha

I like navies, should I focus on subs?

[icy egret]

I also made a mod that replaces the portraits of characters I like with ones that are hotter from derpiborru

[grand matrix]

Share? For a friend?

[icy egret]

Yeah, make subs, that should be your groundwork.

[grand matrix]

[icy egret]

No sadly I have not uploaded it

[grand matrix]

Damn

[grand matrix]

Is Historical preferred?

[grand matrix]

Subs and carriers?

[fair horizon]

Not if you dont fail the decisions

[grand matrix]

Isn’t high resistance to invasion bad in general?

[icy egret]

As Changelings no, because you can take advantage of alt history way more however I like historical cause it’s a fun challenge and I feel more patriotic.

[grand matrix]

Ah fair lol

[fair horizon]

Likes navy, still refuses to make surface ships smh

[grand matrix]

I mean, torpedo cruisers are surface :3

And the giga-battleships

[fair horizon]

Torpedo cruisers smh

[grand matrix]

Look, I’ve been playing for less than a week

Not an exaggeration

I don’t even know how to transfer individual ships between fleet yet

Been clicking every button

[wet flicker]

does anybody wanna co-op world conquest with me and 1v1 at the end

[wet flicker]

Yk the blue part where it shows you the number of ships you have on the top right when looking at the navy

You press one of the ships, like you might see 12 submarines for example or something

You press it so it’s highlighted, and then right click the fleet you want to move them into

[fair horizon]

Click the ships you want and right click the recipient fleet

up in the theater window on the right

[wooden agate]

Hey just to clarify but Peace for our time is made by a group of modders right?

[tulip thorn]

The type of navy every naval larper dreams of

[misty fossil]

"i dont know navy"

[distant knoll]

navy taboo is what normie hoi4 players think a hoi4 meme is

[grand matrix]

Is that just one task force?

i shouldnt have rushed putting the medium there

[distant knoll]

[misty fossil]

oh yeah i turned on the 20ic dockyard output mod for some reason

[wet flicker]

oh nvm

[distant knoll]

[wet flicker]

[bright sinew]

so im sitting here playing the new dlc

and once again im left wanting

so uhhh

if you are going to add the bigger faction system and integrate the agency system in with it somehow

how about also changing the way the parties in the game works so that for example

im playing the usa right now

i am still democratic this game but i want to be independent of the allies

but

i would like to try getting canada into my faction peacefully

so why cant i just use the agency to orchestrate a coup for some pro-independence party to get them in my nation without brutalizing them to do it and going to war against the uk

oh because to do that id need to be not democratic

[clear dagger]

i just captured a land cruiser lol

1: she is pretty :3 2: she unified the hives mostly peacefully 3: she industrialized the hives 4: she took back land occupied by the Olenian Deers when Lycidia gave them up, 5: she actually gives the bears land in the north because she is a good ally 6: she actually invests in her allies in her focus tree rather than just take, 7: she stands up against equestrian colonialist imperialism, I dont see any changeling colonies but plenty equestrian 8: her army is modern and values the lives of her subjects and gives them nice tanks to shoot from unlike sloppy equestrian mass assaults and trench warfare 9: she works with the existing monarchs of all the hives rather than just assert herself as a supreme ruler 10: she feeds her starving populace by going and invading to get more food, 11: Her army is extremely meritocratic and doesn't promote nobles like Equestria with Blueblood 12: she gets her hooves dirty and is on the frontline with her troops in the show and personally puts herself at more risk than any of her subjects, 13: she is pretty :3

Mmmm, not wrong tbh, their tech tree is pretty interventive

[grand matrix]

Where are those?

[upbeat tundra]

the hell is the qing gunna do

"qing china declared on yunnan"

[icy egret]

New Mareland is a equestrian colony in Griffonia near Wingbardy

also almost every game Equestria is like solar empire or lunar empire, benevolent god rulers are BAD.

[grand matrix]

Oh I lwk never even looked at that part of the world

[upbeat tundra]

best use of PP frfr

[heavy vigil]

decisive battle is the best one

so its fine

good for when you get a navy

[upbeat tundra]

yo rt56 geninely crazy

20 extra divs from a war declaration

[worn cliff]

i once tried to like play unified china and build a navy and do cool stuff

reality hit me like a truck when i tried to invade india and deathstacked infantry japan with one supply hub per sometimes and the whole allies on me

[upbeat tundra]

more IMPORTANTLY 20 FULLY SUPPLIED DIVS

[icy egret]

Yeah so when Chrysalis does colonies in eastern equestria its justified lol

[heavy vigil]

burma needs to build supply yeah

[grand matrix]

Huh, tbf, they also look cool, so there’s that

[upbeat tundra]

roc is so smart declaring war with no supply

[clear dagger]

if im going to kill 1 billion people im gonna need to get the spanish and portuguese tungsten

[grand matrix]

Whoever is the pony equivalent of Victor Hugo is a genius in game too

[upbeat tundra]

yo

how many debuffs can they possibly have

[heavy vigil]

why attack the like only tile you could feasible encircle early on

[vital cove]

communist china has infinity pp

so its whatever

[upbeat tundra]

becoz

[vital cove]

they can have like

4pp per day

while doing a focus

[heavy vigil]

road/no dlc

[upbeat tundra]

big road

am poor

[heavy vigil]

take the tile to the left of it

and the one to the right of it

and then you move around

[upbeat tundra]

omg i just saw their eastern defence

[heavy vigil]

encircle the guys

[upbeat tundra]

3 guys and 4 shovels ass defence

[heavy vigil]

west*

[upbeat tundra]

same thing

[worn cliff]

maybe its more interesting to start as an already unified china

[upbeat tundra]

thats just called beating on japan with inf manpower

[worn cliff]

its not about beating japan

its about rebuilding everything from scratch navy airforce armor and getting ur shit up and becoming a colonial power

unless u wanna do that super late game

butt

ehh

[upbeat tundra]

just mobilize 50 million ppl with 1 rifle for a div

[fair horizon]

I like the blue one

[heavy vigil]

prc gameplay but no colonies

[sharp sierra]

hoi4 xenogears mod

[heavy vigil]

you scale better than ROC by a lot

[icy egret]

Lunar Empire is blue, but also the Equestrian Republic is also a rly light blue

and also Equestrian Liberation Front is Dark Blue

[sharp sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/xenogears-jrpg-rpg-psx-playstation-1-gif-22863848

[upbeat tundra]

anything scales better then ROC

[heavy vigil]

not the usa

their scaling sucks

[vital cove]

usa tree is honestly so stupid

like. they literally have nothing on the tree

[heavy vigil]

5% prod cap

[vital cove]

crazy

[heavy vigil]

and like 5% recruitable when you have the guy

or when youre communist

[vital cove]

no relevant research bonuses

no buffs

[heavy vigil]

air

[vital cove]

just issues you need to fix

[vital cove]

irrelevant

wow you get heavy fighters against ai

[heavy vigil]

its the only thing you have an MIO for that doesnt suck

[vital cove]

so useful

[heavy vigil]

youll need it when invading mexico

[vital cove]

truly

[heavy vigil]

idk i tried playing the nation

[vital cove]

which is like

irrelevant

because you have too much core pop anyways

[heavy vigil]

the only semblance of fun i could find was doing monroe alliance - > fascist civil war - >annex alliance

[clear dagger]

GO MY MOUNTAINEERS GO

[vital cove]

if Philippines go Hispanic path its also kinda nice

you get to annex the faction

and to get off eco law

[heavy vigil]

who wants that smh

[upbeat tundra]

incirclemint

nice job china

so geniunely bad i can just battleplan atp

[vital cove]

truly undisturbed isolation best eco

more consumer goods more happy citizens

[icy egret]

of course the roc and qing work together

ROC are spineless

Total Communist Victory

hey the qing emperor worked for communist china

[icy egret]

worked FOR them

"muh muh general only gave me 10 bullets and a 1930s rifle i cant function" - chud roc soldier

"I use a sickle to rip the hearts out of the enemies" - chad prc farmer conscript

now time to get rid of the skibidi san ma

[heavy vigil]

did you know

the old US tree used to have you go from undisturbed into isolation before mobing up

but then they removed it

[vital cove]

lmao

[heavy vigil]

and so now isolation is only used for iceland

[vital cove]

which dlc is the us tree again

[upbeat tundra]

rmb when usa had guarantee independence on ALL of south america

[heavy vigil]

no modern politicians/controversial figures please

[upbeat tundra]

that made south american games super fun

[heavy vigil]

none

its free

[vital cove]

isn't part of the alt history a dlc thing

[vital cove]

they still do

[severe ice]

monroe doctrine

[heavy vigil]

no

[vital cove]

its just a nation spirit now

they'll still declare on you at some if you're fighting in south america

[upbeat tundra]

idk they never summon on my

ass

[vital cove]

even though its not how Monroe doctrine supposed to work

[upbeat tundra]

anyways peak faction name?

[vital cove]

and its even worse that

for outside nations

the us will give you a chance to white peace

for south american nations

[heavy vigil]

no

[vital cove]

they'll just declare on you without warning

[heavy vigil]

not how it works

if 2 nations are both guaranteed by a nation

and one of the two attacks the other

the guarantee cant be called in

[vital cove]

yeah but that's bot how monroe doctrine works now

[icy egret]

sorry

[heavy vigil]

never seen that

[vital cove]

happened to me multiple times as multiple nations in south america

[heavy vigil]

ah

[misty fossil]

67

[heavy vigil]

its because uruguay has a focus

to get US guarantee

[upbeat tundra]

oh yeah mongola knew what was best for them

[vital cove]

i was Uruguay

in one of the times

[heavy vigil]

waow

[vital cove]

the us declared on me when i fought peru i think

[wary ledge]

-Does the UK generally guarantee communist nations alongside non-aligned and democratic ones?

[vital cove]

or Bolivia I can't remember

[wary ledge]

Just had them gaurantee me as commie Japan, which took me by surprise

[vital cove]

no

[wary ledge]

Must be a mod then- thanks for letting me know!

[upbeat tundra]

what do i do guys

mmm tempting

oh right its tibet

screw tibet

[heavy vigil]

theyre nice to you

[slow token]

Hearts of Iron 4

[wary ledge]

Okay so reading a post on Reddit I've come to believe it has something to do with the London Naval Treaty, specifically when it gets broken by someone

[slow token]

Please proceed to annex

[upbeat tundra]

I SWEAR TO GOD

[wary ledge]

In this case the USSR decided to break it (not sure how they became part of it in the first place) and since I signed it and stuff the UK thought I was worthy of their protection lol

[upbeat tundra]

these factions...

[wary ledge]

That to me honestly looks a lot better than what they usually turn out as

Unless that's what you meant

[upbeat tundra]

ofc theres my faction

the best one

[slow token]

why is tibet still free

we cant have that

[upbeat tundra]

dw

i got it under controll

NOOO

[dusky burrow]

no one wants to social credit max

also you can probably release tibet or something

or tuva

of course as a puppet

[upbeat tundra]

ill never free tibet

i just killed korea for it

istg if japan gets me in war with 1/2 the west

im crahisng out

[dusky burrow]

or puppet guangdong

[upbeat tundra]

i did it by killing korea

sadly not kim jon

[pale flare]

oh you can give territories to allies wtf

[worn cliff]

holy stat

[cedar kite]

Or puppets that have been called to the war

[worn cliff]

3.3k soft attack

[cedar kite]

Wish you could give land to puppets you create in a peace deal

[pale flare]

cant do this because portugal holds macau and portugal is in my faction fml

i cant even delete thhe faction cause i cant remove him

[kindred lotus]

is this a valid sheeps AI pocket ?

[dusky burrow]

15 tank divisions lmao

[kindred lotus]

so called meta ai

[digital aurora]

Is using tons of Calvary a decent strat if I want to raise tons of “mobile divisions” especially for a breakthrough

[slow token]

yummers

[azure kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/soviet-union-stalin-ussr-russia-edit-gif-16432123930007423420

[kindred lotus]

depends on who ur enemy is

[full jewel]

Holy moly

[full jewel]

Watching it now

[dusky burrow]

well if you got encircled in multiplayer you'd probably face similar casualties

[kindred lotus]

thats

[dusky burrow]

i lost 10000 tanks in the Pripyat marshes the first time I won against Sheep's

[kindred lotus]

enemy encircled

im playing soviets

[dusky burrow]

I know

[kindred lotus]

bro its crazy

cuz i encircled like

30 tank divisions

and they keep pushing everywhere

[dusky burrow]

But if you were playing Germans and got encircled likewise it wouldn't be too different I imagine
The trick is that the Germans shouldn't get encircled

[quasi osprey]

is this ok for 1938

[misty fossil]

you dont own the entire world by 38

[dusky burrow]

They should have like 30 of them left, their pushing will be limited at best

[misty fossil]

restart

[kindred lotus]

everytime i need to concetrate my tanks i encircle
kill 500k axis
somewhere else they do a breakthrough
get tanks
kill 500k axis
repeat

[dusky burrow]

Which poland path is this?

[quasi osprey]

lithuanian path

[kindred lotus]

trhe problem w sheep ai is that the AI is too aggressive

the micro is ass

[quasi osprey]

I am playing as lithuania

[misty fossil]

sanitation up

[dusky burrow]

Yeah, I think Sheep gave up on it microing

HOI4 AI acts completely alien to any player

[full jewel]

Somehow got in trouble for referencing a historical figure

[dusky burrow]

It puts like 2-3 divisions per general

[kindred lotus]

i also got similar encirclement in hearts of oaks where i killed 18 enemy tanks of a player in multiplayer with inf only mass mob build 😭 my inf was legit 3km/h and his tanks that go 8km/h got encircled

[kindred lotus]

acc

[dusky burrow]

Ah I see

[kindred lotus]

sheeps changes that

[dusky burrow]

Then it is quite good

[full jewel]

The didlers are silencing me

[kindred lotus]

when i tested sheeps ai i just put myself on observe and the AI organises its divisions quite well

problem is

the aXIS ARE too aggressive on barb

in sheeps ai

and the allies dont d day

till like

1944

[heavy vigil]

i do

[kindred lotus]

in any sane mutliplayer game

the allies will start d daying in 1942

[misty fossil]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/797500224997818400/978163803046961223/caption-17-1.gif

[heavy vigil]

against player they d day earlier

well, they d day whenever ussr caps kind if

of*

otherwise theyll wait

[fair horizon]

what the heck is that

[ripe slate]

Thats when the world record world conquest ends lol

[kindred lotus]

its stupid cuz the mod wants to stimulate multiplayer

[heavy vigil]

allied ai wants to wait because it scales

[misty fossil]

Ok

[kindred lotus]

and in multiplayer the ai regardless of the situation constantly naval invades

to divert german tanks

[heavy vigil]

it wants ai to play as well as it can

[heavy vigil]

no?

its so ussr survives

[kindred lotus]

i know

[kindred lotus]

.

[heavy vigil]

the mod doesnt do d day if the ussr is fine

also behaviour also depends on starting nation

[kindred lotus]

if allies dont dday by 1942 then the USSR dies to a competent axis

[heavy vigil]

if you want it to be unbiased start as liberia before going into spectate

well yeah but its still ai

[kindred lotus]

in competent axis games and incompetent commonwealth ive seen soviets die by 1943

[heavy vigil]

you will win

[kindred lotus]

oif course

but its annoying when they constantly create a breakthrough cuiz they have an inf amount of resources

its just tiring having to do the same thing over and over

[heavy vigil]

ai also was at its peak in like 1.14

maybe 1.15 was decent and 1.16 it was really struggling too

because of statbloat

[kindred lotus]

1.17 is just pure

terribleness

[heavy vigil]

it hasnt rlly been updated

sheep is doing kr stuff rn

[dusky burrow]

also the mod does d-day quite late for meta, literally mid-1942

[kindred lotus]

from what ive seen italy doesnt even do air in current sheeps version

[kindred lotus]

nope

i was fighting the gremans till 1943

[heavy vigil]

they should

[dusky burrow]

nope?

[kindred lotus]

not a single d day

not even a sicily

invasion

😭

[dusky burrow]

is this a different mod we're talking about?

[kindred lotus]

i know

[heavy vigil]

oh if youre allies the allied ai plays worse

try 1.14 tho sometime

[kindred lotus]

idk

[heavy vigil]

its fun

[dusky burrow]

oh yeah, sometimes they could do d-day early in 1943 but otherwise i've never seen it later

[kindred lotus]

ive seen a video of it

it sounds really hard

[heavy vigil]

nah

[kindred lotus]

not even a sicily invasion yk

[heavy vigil]

only majors have ever been kind of hard in sheeps anyway

because you just have to play your role

[kindred lotus]

i remember playing as italy with a passive axis i got absoultely destroyed by allies cuz germany gave me zero support and free france and UK and US were all on me

and then i got blamed for capping

[kindred lotus]

yea

soviets role is to drag down german IC

after gottedamurung soviet union just dies to axis

like without a d day soviets cant win

microing barb is a pain against like 5 axis players

[dusky burrow]

presumably you have like 3 soviet players at least though

[kindred lotus]

NO

i never played with a co op

😭

[dusky burrow]

because i assume two of those axis players are romania and hungary
