how do u set all to one thing

[lilac ginkgo]

i really have to get to vladivostok huh

they re at like 40% capitulation

[clear dagger]

how

[upbeat tundra]

no border garrison eh?

shit

[lilac ginkgo]

it glitched

i think

i had moscow,stalingrad and i was about to take leningrad but they had like 20 divs on it

and ive got a mod that is meant to do a scripted peace deals when i get all 3 cities

but it didnt..and leningrad didnt do any progress torwards capitulation

so now i need vladivostok or they wont cap

[wet flicker]

going for austria-hungary

[limpid field]

great

i was doing the macau my day achievement

capitulated the allies

and noticed i forgot to put occupation law as civilian oversight

[wet flicker]

ts otw twin

now germany cant do anschluss

[heavy vigil]

huh

i was SLEEPING

and now i wanna go back

[upbeat tundra]

aka germany paicified from its focus tree

[wet flicker]

watch them still kick my ass

[fair horizon]

Sorrgy i didnt mean to interrupt

i love having like 0 noise isolation in my bedroom

[dusky burrow]

you die because you have no org

but otherwise no

[fair horizon]

It doesnt even have a ship designer smh

Biased site

[limpid field]

why no motorized designer

[wet flicker]

whats the point of romania guarnateeing yugoslavia

if they wont even go to war

[heavy vigil]

if they guarantee you as well they wont join

[trim plume]

hey germany i don't think this world war aint going in ur favor

[wet flicker]

they dont

i was guaranteeing them tho

[heavy vigil]

damn

[wet flicker]

so i just revoked

you think theyll go to war

[trim plume]

what is this

a civilwar or sum?

[wet flicker]

im doing austro-hungary empire run

so my plan was: take austria, do trust in the west focus, invade yugoslavia once french guarantee was gone but romania stayed

then i'd be in a war with romania and yugo

and just have hungary left

but romania wont declare war even tho im running thru yugoslavia

[dusky burrow]

no clue, but it is definitely within paradox's abilities

[trim plume]

then its just the ai not wanting to join the war

ive seen ai sometimes ignore a guarantee in my games

its rare

[wet flicker]

thats so annoying

lowkey is ruining my run

[trim plume]

look germany is literally making mega-allies and super-comintern

its lowkey also ruining my run because if germany didn't do an early war against the germans

lowkey

[wet flicker]

you sure thats lowkey enough twin?

ts highkey

france is guaranteeing romania and is also in the allies

[trim plume]

im like the usa i can lowkey win against super allies

only problem is the navy

[wet flicker]

i really want to say fk it and go for romania but i am 100% going to war with germany soon

allies & axis vs comintern

[trim plume]

who are you gonna be at war

germany?

[wet flicker]

yea

[trim plume]

why are you gonna be in the comintern

[wet flicker]

and france if i go to war with romania

[wet flicker]

i already am

im communist czech

[trim plume]

never underestimate the ai's ability to spam

frontline ai be damned i look away for 8 seconds and my divs bouta be overrun

[trim plume]

GERMANNY GERMANY WHAT IS THIS!!1

[foggy sentinel]

Bro the UIs are way too crowded

Id there any way I can solution for that?

[trim plume]

its in video and settings

although you have to restart the game

i think?

[foggy sentinel]

Thank you anyway

[wet flicker]

[trim plume]

[fair horizon]

gross czech gameplay

[wet flicker]

its not my fault

[misty fossil]

tommykay bubble speech

[fair horizon]

i need to see what happens if i make daybreaker mad

[trim plume]

who?

[fair horizon]

EAW

[misty fossil]

your mot- i mean a character in equestria at war

should i say it

im holding the urge

[fair horizon]

read why is vnr good

what makes it good for australia

[misty fossil]

call me grass or uni

um

it forces you to actually plan out your navy build instead of 'build xyz' and doomstacking ships

[fair horizon]

🤮

[misty fossil]

the mod imposes insane penalties to positioning (starts at 41 ships up to -300% to positioning)

[fair horizon]

i play around positioning though

[misty fossil]

and it also buffs carriers

kinda

by giving buffs to dive bombers (naval attack, agility and targetting specifically for carrier cas)

and also techs that buff carrier stats like sortie efficiency, air range and so on

and it also nerfs sub visibility to make subs not broken like in vanilla

[misty fossil]

exactly

[fair horizon]

ima be upsetti spaghetti if its bad

[misty fossil]

i cheated but you can get this

since ai is still ai

[trim plume]

you die

unless ur prepared

then you win

[misty fossil]

the more convoluted a game/mod is, the harder it is to script the ai to intelligently leverage all the mechanics in such an order that makes it competitive against the player, thus making it easier to win against the ai

look at sheep ai for example

[trim plume]

how did germany win bro
They managed to outflank the allies and recaputre their old territory whilst withstanding the soviet union's bajillion of units

[misty fossil]

there are only two types of countries in the world: cis countries and trans countries

[trim plume]

mexico tried to do sum

[misty fossil]

are non-binaries their own category or trans

[dusky burrow]

they would be trans too

since they don't identify as their birth gender

[trim plume]

cis majority countries vs trans majority country timelapse might be cool

[fair horizon]

so uh

[trim plume]

im ending mexico

[fair horizon]

if you hit the second option that makes daybreaker mad it just ends your game lma o

[wet flicker]

im restarting until i go to war with yugoslavia and romania at the same time

fk that

[misty fossil]

what a mouthful of a name

[trim plume]

WHY!!!!!

[lament plover]

Because you on non historical

[trim plume]

mexico non-historial is a mistake

[vague abyss]

guh....

[heavy vigil]

japan can still come back

[vague abyss]

lol doubt it

[clear dagger]

my game before the save got corrupted

[wet flicker]

my god bro

if romania does join the war then so does france

its annoying asf

[quasi osprey]

should I try to protect france or leave it to die?

[vague abyss]

rip

[fair horizon]

@misty fossil im gonna play a game of it

[misty fossil]

give it a try

[fair horizon]

shouldnt this be cheaper?

[misty fossil]

i mean its more expensive than stuff like incremental armour for sure

[fair horizon]

i mean because of the armor scheme

less overall armor on a ship

[misty fossil]

im not super knowledgeable about armour schemes

i think its because of the extra engineering to cram more armour around vitals?

and making sure the thinner bows dont just snap off in a storm

[fair horizon]

mabye

[misty fossil]

yeah

since you get more ws from naval action that makes vnr even better

design a good fleet and ur rewarded not just with dopamine but also more ws

[fair horizon]

you can do light and heavy stuff on the same ship

i like that

[heavy vigil]

vendrip!

[fair horizon]

casey

WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY YELLOW FLEET

UNI EXPLAIN YOURSELF

[heavy vigil]

VNR?

they also changed icons in one of the NCNS patches

like the one there

[fair horizon]

Yeah its just pink instead of yellow

[misty fossil]

Yeah u might wanna read on how to play vnr first btw

Because its different to vanilla

[wet flicker]

thank god ive been keeping my save files in order

[misty fossil]

Ive delineated some of the examples above but there are more

[wet flicker]

i almost fked it all up

[misty fossil]

Ive never touched straya

Sorry nothing exists down here

all we have is a succulent chinese meal

[misty fossil]

Bros just finding an excuse to swear off on the mod

blocked

[fair horizon]

i mean everything makes sense

it still uses regular hoi4 stats so

[heavy vigil]

deathstack?

[misty fossil]

Yeah

you cant deathstack anymore in vnr

[heavy vigil]

vendrip is nice

he just has bad takes

[fair horizon]

i will say im very happy with all the extra ship classes

[heavy vigil]

like his missile take

[misty fossil]

True

[fair horizon]

india has grimsby class destroyers at the start :)

honestly australia may not have enough research slots to do vnr

[heavy vigil]

this is why you use toolpack

+4 research slots

actually theres a mod

for every country

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1959615362

[misty fossil]

You need to be very selective with what you want to research

[heavy vigil]

weak mindset

[fair horizon]

nah i have an idea

[fair horizon]

honestly do like this part

[misty fossil]

yeah i play with 12 research slots

[heavy vigil]

try global research btw

[misty fossil]

because i also play with other tech rework mods

[heavy vigil]

good mod

lets you catch up on techs more

[misty fossil]

ok

[heavy vigil]

it does have the side effect that you can see all ai techs

but whatever

[heavy vigil]

these mods suck

and usually break with versions

[ember vine]

Me when I'm at war (I get annoyed by every complete research)
Researches radio supply because it looks cool

hey fellas

how hard is it to mod hoi4?

like i just want to replace the name and image of a leader

[wet flicker]

to install mods its easy but to make them idk

[knotty vortex]

the new eastern bloc

[prime iris]

aight

im only replacing images and names so im sure it wont be too hard

[knotty vortex]

now i gotta figure out how to invade france...

[misty fossil]

Oh btw theres a swastika

[knotty vortex]

how do i cheese paradrop the uk

[prime iris]

is there like a guide somewhere

for how to start playing

ive been building factories and trying to be as peaceful as possible to everyone else bc i have no idea what to do

doesnt help that im italy

[quasi osprey]

😂

[pure rampart]

lol

[pure rampart]

yes, there’s lotssss

search on Youtube

or you can just learn by playing

[pure rampart]

why is the new eastern bloc at war with France

guarantees?

[prime iris]

how do i buy coal and rubber

[pure rampart]

there’s a tab for it

it’s like 2 arrows going around in a circle kinda

and under that you can import resources, in exchange for civilian factories

[fair horizon]

this vnr run is bust :/

nothing is happening

[prime iris]

is this right?

[pure rampart]

(oh and there’s a channel for these types of questions btw, #ask-for-help-here )

[pure rampart]

yes!

[prime iris]

aight thanks

[wet flicker]

if hungary already turned fascist, do i still need to keep romania a completely independent soverign country still to get a free war goal on them without the allies guaranteeing their independence?

[fair horizon]

1939 with 2 research slots 😴

[wet flicker]

hungary already turned fascist

but i was gonna leave dobrudja independent just in case that they do need to be independent still so the allies dont get involved

but im not sure if its worth it or if i can fk myself over in the future doing that atp

[quasi osprey]

1942 soviets are losing but italy never fails to fail

😐

👍

[fair horizon]

italy if it locked in

[vital cove]

to Poland is crazy

[quasi osprey]

yeah as soon as germany declared on me I funneled all my troops through gdynia and used them to kick the axis out of africa greece and now italy

[vital cove]

oh you're Poland

then it's not that crazy

should've holded mainland smh

[quasi osprey]

I started in 1939 start date and it would have been hard to hold mainland

[vital cove]

its doable

[quasi osprey]

I am of more use in other places

[vital cove]

requires a little bit of cheese starts for doable

[quasi osprey]

I am quite bad at the game so thats all I could do🤷‍♂️

[vital cove]

you release Belarus and Ukraine as puppets before the war
then hold Warsaw and the few tiles around it that you can be protected by the river
you'll eventually get pushed back to just one tile but its fine

you build state aa

and build forts on the tiles you use, and use empty engineers for the fort atk% bonus

[tropic trout]

it's been months, why have neither of them fired a peace conference

[vital cove]

you can do the capitulation focuses when they take everything but Warsaw

for the industry

[snow rain]

scroll up please

[snow rain]

well, bruh

modded game ?

[tropic trout]

yeah but

[trim plume]

permanently at war, france

seems realistic

[knotty vortex]

i got germany involved lol

[snow rain]

there's no "but" except if the only mods you have are graphical mods

[wet flicker]

YESSIR

THATS WHAT THIS BIG DOG DOES

[trim plume]

kingdom of italy isn't at 100% capitulation

[wet flicker]

only took me 4 different games and 6 save reloads

[snow rain]

check the mod page, ensure it's updated and that there's nothing in decription or comments with the same issue
then check if they have their own discord and ask there

[tropic trout]

these are the only gameplay mods

none of them should affect peace conferences

[vital cove]

uh yes

[tropic trout]

they are

[tropic trout]

i mean if they trigger

[trim plume]

99% clearly

[vital cove]

player led oeace conference shouldn't affect peace conference

clearly

[snow rain]

mods can affect game in weird ways, especially if they aren't compatible with game version or other mods used

[vital cove]

the mod is actually for 3d models of Brazilian tanks

[trim plume]

oh its

probably the malays

even though it says they surrendered

[tropic trout]

i actually killed those way before the italians and thought i wasnt getting a conference because the italians were still alive, despite not being in a faction

but im only fighting dead countries

[trim plume]

did you check if the italians are in another faction

[tropic trout]

(okay, not 100% dead, they still have their colonies but yk close enough)

[tropic trout]

they're not

[trim plume]

you got console commands?

[heavy vigil]

YOOOOOO

[tropic trout]

yes

[fair horizon]

did brazil have any domestic tanks?

[heavy vigil]

yes

[trim plume]

force a peace conference

[fair horizon]

they went better than the bob semple right?

[trim plume]

tag both italy and malay

[tropic trout]

what commands

[trim plume]

adiplo then force wp

then redo the war again (they have no divisions to attack anyway

[tropic trout]

"force wp"?

what does that do

[fair horizon]

alright vnr is boring ngl

[tropic trout]

i can just dfc

[trim plume]

adiplo conditional surrender

[tropic trout]

thx

[heavy vigil]

unless you mean in ww2 then no*

[fair horizon]

nothing changes in this mod tbh

[fair horizon]

yeah thats what i was wondering, im looking at the mb-3 rn and its pretty

[heavy vigil]

https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/EE-T1_Osório

[misty fossil]

i dont speak brazillian twin

[heavy vigil]

its wikipedia

[misty fossil]

do you think its a good thing

or nah

[fair horizon]

it seems overcomplicated but tbh its basically vanilla

like if you understand naval stats its easy to follow

[misty fossil]

well yeah its called vanilla rework

it just expands on vanilla stats

lol

[wet flicker]

i annexed hungary at such a perfect time

[misty fossil]

no

[grave sonnet]

What if Brazil comes to me

[fair horizon]

honestly imo its in a worse way. mabye if you had a dedicated naval research slot with it it would be fine but otherwise its meh

[heavy vigil]

BICE research when

[misty fossil]

fair enough

[fair horizon]

ill probably play without it but i do enjoy some parts about it

[clear dagger]

what do you think the US immigration policies are about

[misty fossil]

yeah ive asked for an extra research slot for vnr but the dev didnt want to

[fair horizon]

this thingy in particular

[misty fossil]

its nice

[heavy vigil]

it destroys game balance

[misty fossil]

i do encourage you to play with it

[fair horizon]

something imo should be in vanilla like this is

[lament plover]

i don't wanta go

[grave sonnet]

What does this gotta do with Brazil gang

[misty fossil]

well you can still balance it, like adding an extra research slot after achieving certain vnr-specific milestones

[clear dagger]

brazil coming to you

[misty fossil]

like how black ice does it ig

[fair horizon]

1941 and i have enough sortie efficiency to use carriers same as base game

destroyers are way better too in it

[grave sonnet]

I'm not even In the US

[fair horizon]

without research as australia i basically have the 1940 design id go with normally

[misty fossil]

"best country"

https://tenor.com/view/lying-wong-gif-7845920779899236663

[quasi osprey]

then I will lose cores on those states and thats not very good

[fair horizon]

i give vnr like a 4/10, not bad just like meh

without changing how naval actually works it doesnt do enough to really change the game

just inflates the tree

im at 80% sortie efficiency by 1941

was this also added in no comrimise no surrder

Yeah from what i gather they're borderline useless

I honestly have zero clue what they do

[sly venture]

i mean for 25 dollars i expected more

[fair horizon]

Ngl if anyone has a clue what repair and support ships do and can tell me id appreciate it

[sly venture]

if i had to take a guess support ships help your naval invasions land easier

because they are from invasionpath

the chinese focuses are especially disapointing
it was just another waking the tiger with 2 focuses and then basically a generic one for every warlord

Yes

Very underpowered divisions ):

[vital cove]

it doesn't really matter

you can core them back later if you really want

by forming the commonwealth

but its better to lose cores anyways than to get capped

you'll get a lot of warscore if you don't cap

enough to get as much industry as you need to beat the Soviets later

[heavy vigil]

genuinely they look underpowered

I cant be bothered to make them as best as I can 🙏

Germany doesn't cap Soviets anyways
but it won't even declare on them if you're still alive

[heavy vigil]

uhm play mp 🤓

[quasi osprey]

it already controls moscow and stalingrad I am pretty sure the soviets are on their death bed rn

[vital cove]

oh you mean in your game after you capped
but also i doubt it still

like

it'll take time

they need to go behind the Urals

[quasi osprey]

not really most of the time that I play one of the axis powers you just need to take most of the cities in west soviet union behind the urals

[vital cove]

because u collab

I never do that stuff idk how too germany always manages to do that stuff by itself

[vital cove]

the ai doesn't collab

you really should start collabing its like the most important mechanic in the game 💀

[heavy vigil]

they can

and sometimes do

usually on norway

[vital cove]

its an event

afaik

its a single collab anyways

and they don't do any other collab ever

[heavy vigil]

sometimes

[vital cove]

never

[heavy vigil]

ive seen it

[vital cove]

not vanilla

you're playing with like a million mods

[heavy vigil]

its about as common as the conditional surrender option

so like, pretty rare

as in ive seen it about maybe two or three times

in like

6500 hours or whatever of playtime

so pretty rare

[heavy vigil]

[cedar lance]

@heavy vigil

[heavy vigil]

i think you need to revert for it

[cedar lance]

what

[rare pine]

The objective is “0/3 Air wings in eritrea Air Base are assigned to danakil air region

[heavy vigil]

revert game version

[cedar lance]

alr

[heavy vigil]

ok

so you click the planes

well i cant really tell you over text

and i dont have hoi open

[rare pine]

:(.

[heavy vigil]

but you gotta click planes, assign them to the region with right click

give them a mission

right click eritrea airbase to move more planes

dont overstack airbase capacity

[rare pine]

I think i did smth

its now yellow

[heavy vigil]

thats the airbase

you have selected the airbase

open the air map mode

bottom right

[rare pine]

Ok

[halcyon scroll]

poor germany get no ally

[quasi osprey]

[ivory hull]

did you lose against germany?

[quasi osprey]

well I did on purpose and then used my 55 divs to liberate africa,greece and italy

[sly venture]

crazy kd ratio

[quasi osprey]

the comitern got surprisingly little from the peace deal

[winged field]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-more-gif-21856591

We love maximum manpower efficiency builds😇

[quasi osprey]

just noticed that I am completely stranded

[sly venture]

italy hard carry

[frail estuary]

is that wrong though

that is how it started

you could say everyone else just joined along with them

[quasi osprey]

ussually its the german british war or smth

[frail estuary]

poland stronger then brit?

[sly venture]

they got me covered

[frail estuary]

hmm will poland get new poland in libya after italy surrenders

[floral rune]

how did u form that

[wet flicker]

play as czech n take over all of balkans

and defend germany and axis

but once we defeated axis all of the faction members went to allies

so now im fighting them

but im pretty industried up after all that annexation

[wary ledge]

Anyone know how to use the effect console command to auto-complete the Develop Joint Research Practices goal for a faction? I dunno how to set it up to trigger properly so I figured I'd ask in case anyone's used it before and knows how to work it-

[floral rune]

dang okay do u have to go non aligned or something

[wet flicker]

communistr

[floral rune]

ah okay

[cedar lance]

just played some more hoi4 in Black ice

[ivory hull]

[quasi osprey]

[winged field]

[stark elbow]

[last cosmos]

[honest night]

It upsets the Ubebecs 🇧🇹

[last cosmos]

36 width

[winged field]

u can replace rangers with light tank recon in some situations

[stark elbow]

thx man i'll try later bc the standard templates could give me the win in the first european war but i got demolished in the second one

[winged field]

also what doctrines u using?

its kinda important

[stark elbow]

i dont really remember, whats ur suggestion?

[quasi osprey]

is this ok for 1940 bulgaria

[winged field]

for pure inf build: 1.aassault infantry 2.field engineers/air cavarly 3.mobile inf support 4. grand assault

[last cosmos]

he is saying in tfr

[sly venture]

nice

[uncut pollen]

Nope

Not here

Read the rules

[iron orbit]

[stark elbow]

i though the template he had sent me before needed to be translated into a tfr one lmao

[winged field]

i assume thats some kind of mod

[winged field]

nvm then

[last cosmos]

op template

that will destroy russia

but

[stark elbow]

industry friendly for germany?

[last cosmos]

kinda

but

i tested this on only europe path

not the others

[stark elbow]

well yeah im looking towards the federation

[last cosmos]

then

you don't need a army

in first war

[burnt delta]

[stark elbow]

i can federate even after winning the first, soon before the start of the second one

[languid heron]

https://tenor.com/view/king-bluprint-drunk-falling-gif-21429804

[last cosmos]

gunther is op

[languid heron]

[burnt delta]

oh yeah I forgot I had these cannons

[stark elbow]

i get gunther by loosing the first?

[rich holly]

ermmm actually theyre made of alluminum

[last cosmos]

yeah kinda complicated

all the army is spg

[stark elbow]

next time i'll say steel

[stark elbow]

ah

[last cosmos]

this was my template

[burnt delta]

I'm not really good at plane design someone help me just rq

[rich holly]

i dont get why ppl play these stupidly overcomplicated mods that destroy their pcs

[burnt delta]

now we're talking

[stark elbow]

not really complicated, its sick and honestly optimized

[last cosmos]

at least tfr is

[stark elbow]

tfr doesnt destroy the pc like millenium dawn does

[last cosmos]

look at these pockets 🔥

[rich holly]

my potato pc couldnt even run road to 56

[stark elbow]

spgs are not something that i have to manually build like tanks right?

[last cosmos]

nah

[stark elbow]

well i hope i'll win the next run thx man

[stark elbow]

yeah yeah i was hoping of something like this

i have 0 skill in building tanks

wb air?

[last cosmos]

um

what is air

[sly venture]

yess

[stark elbow]

no air support/superiority?

[stark elbow]

aura

[last cosmos]

[stark elbow]

kk

[last cosmos]

but

i need to warn you about the civil wars

you need to rush to civilwars with your spgs

[stark elbow]

[last cosmos]

yeah

french civil war and england

forgot about spain

you will use force

there

[stark elbow]

kk thxx

[last cosmos]

[cursive oxide]

[iron iron]

I couldn’t eat a ship

I’m not

Superman

I might be

[rich holly]

but ships are high in iron

[iron iron]

https://tenor.com/view/iron-man-tony-stark-robert-downey-jr-marvel-superhero-gif-16430080

Wrong person

https://tenor.com/view/superman-superhero-gif-26117072

This me

[rich holly]

[iron iron]

Oh yeah

[cursive oxide]

yes

[iron iron]

My fridge genuinely so ass

I got alcohol milk and

Ingredients for food

I ain’t cooking nothing at 2am

[rich holly]

[rich holly]

[rich holly]

[iron iron]

Autocorrect genuinely saving me tm

Tn

Rn

I’m so geeked

Bye

[rich holly]

no

[iron iron]

Why

[rich holly]

Because i like eating ships

[iron iron]

Real

[rich holly]

theyre rich in iron

[rich holly]

Ok

ZXdas

[iron iron]

This chocolate so gud

lol she want sum

Can cats eat chocolate

[pastel solstice]

so what's better. forming Italian East Africa or a puppet ethopia?

[rich holly]

pacifying it

[pastel solstice]

that's doesn't answer my question

[iron iron]

I know the world would be a better place without me and that’s why I live

I hate people fr

[iron iron]

No difference

[safe wing]

Neither completely dismantling Ethopia is better

As you get 7 or 8 puppets

[pastel solstice]

with no manpower

[safe wing]

You get industry which is more important

[pastel solstice]

bog issue. COAL

[safe wing]

Okay then conquer more land build power plants, trade, or whatever

[pastel solstice]

this is early on you can't biuild power plants.

[sly venture]

luxembourg is even bigger now

[safe wing]

I’m talking the new building

The power grid

[pastel solstice]

doesn't fully solve it. frankly it's why I hate coal

[safe wing]

Well revert play modded or don’t play the game I guess considering hoi4 is kinda mediocre in my opinion now

[vocal bolt]

ruined the game fr

[safe wing]

It wasn’t even that good of a strategy game

[vocal bolt]

paradox should add ground surveys next to make the game more "realistic" and more unfun

[vocal bolt]

you dont get resources untill you search the ground and find them

[safe wing]

Rome total war and medieval 2 are simply better

<@&846894118219022336> right here

[mild plaza]

Got it thx

[vocal bolt]

what was it

[vocal bolt]

I like the wackyness of hoi4

[clear dagger]

I see you went for a similar strat

[vocal bolt]

most alt paths are straight bs

I like how a random homeless person can core all of russia

[safe wing]

It’s not fun because it got dull to me

[vocal bolt]

I mean yeah I am getting bored aswell

it gets a bit dull after you do the paths

I need to buy more dlc

[safe wing]

Get Skyrim I’m having a blast atm

[vocal bolt]

id like to have the austria tree

[vocal bolt]

am playing besiege mostly

[vocal bolt]

I mean

how is that so rare

edward path doesnt even have a civil war

[safe wing]

Someone who clearly had a intelligence deficiency as he believed low iq conspiracy theories

[cursive oxide]

lot of players dont play iron man

and you need 100% of the frech land in the eu

[fresh cradle]

Anyone gonna play last stand ?

[vocal bolt]

almost as rare as uk world conquest lmao

[fresh cradle]

I can host in a couple minutes

[cursive oxide]

lol

[vocal bolt]

this is my rarest achivement

I also got him on the throne aswell but sadly no achivement for that

also its diabolical how when you get him as a general he has no buffs to artilerry

[safe wing]

I like Skyrim because there is a ton more build variety

Like hoi4 is just spam infantry or spgs now

[vocal bolt]

no one is stopping you from playing non meta

[kind reef]

When playing as Germany, should my prioroties be Anchluss > Sudetenland > Poland

[vocal bolt]

there is literaly infinite division variations

[sudden thistle]

That historical

Yeah

[kind reef]

I think I am unable to win the war as Germany cuz I always focus on Netherlands

[sudden thistle]

The Dutch are literally the easiest…

[mighty zephyr]

surreal

[vocal bolt]

also is it just me or is the game getting easier by each dlc

not bc of ai

thats a whole another problem

[kind reef]

The problem is not beating them

[vocal bolt]

but it seems like focus trees get more and more op by the day

[kind reef]

the thing is that it increases world tension which causes Britain to guarantee my targets

[sudden thistle]

Bloat

[kind reef]

which is not good

[vocal bolt]

most new trees can just annex nations for the grand cost of 50 political power

[sudden thistle]

Every country will get their own dlc

And buffs

[sudden thistle]

Yeah that’s also historical

And very normal

[vocal bolt]

both austria and the nordics can just click buttons to annex everything

yeah let me just hand my country over to the austrians bc they put guards on the border

[kind reef]

Anyways

I will try to do Anchluss > Sudetenland > Poland next time

[vocal bolt]

I mean

thats kinda the progression you have to take

the manpower requirement goes up step by step

cant really do oe before another

[vocal bolt]

who are your targets

you get like inf wargoals on the tree

[winged field]

it's mainly ai thats the thing, and the fact that ai usually doesnt go for those op focuses even in non historical

or the fact that ai doesnt utilize the mechanics from those dlc's like players do

germany not being able to reach autarky is just so bums

[vocal bolt]

besides that too

like pre götter you had to actually fight people to get austria hungary

[winged field]

or ussr being utterly useless

[vocal bolt]

now you press one button for 25pp

boom annexed

[vocal bolt]

germany cant even get past minsk lmao

sssr sucking ass is worse

[winged field]

they can in certain scenarios

[vocal bolt]

whenever they go alt history they just get too weak

[winged field]

but like they get yeeted by d day before they can capitulate ussr

[winged field]

most of the democratic just flipping to commusim lol

the irony

[vocal bolt]

I think we gotta stop with the bs country dlcs

and just have a free update of imrpovements

which will never happen

bc money

but am willing to pay for that too

like there should be a better peace option

in what world is it realisitc for usa to keep fighting me over a single tile they gurantee after they lost 10 million people

[winged field]

country dlc's are fun if its not like only one

[vocal bolt]

I mean

ill give you that atleast they are not full price

[sudden thistle]

There is some mods that make them do it

[vocal bolt]

sheeps mod or somn right

[winged field]

improve working conditions enters chat

[sudden thistle]

Mhm

[vocal bolt]

ai should get better plane deisgners and tank designers imo
