Why is twilight not a leader unless you’re on the April fools update
The Sun path is the equivalent of Warhammer, I'm not even joking
Why are the mane 6 not able to be used as nuclear weapons
I mean harmony path
B A L A N C I N G
Harmony path Celestia sucks
Imagine playing Celestia with nukes, you can literally beat the Changelings in mere weeks
The changelings are way stronger than harmony equestria
I have to set up like 4 agents at home just to stop them from stealing my war plans immediately
Buff local defense, hire the master interrogator
The changelings lost to a gay bug, a traveling circus act, and a Marxist
Stalliongrad also happens to be the Soviets.
With Communism and Marxism everything
Why are the soviets not one of the griffins??
Our town isn’t communist. It’s authoritarian
glimmy the best
I dunno ask the lore people
Or watch Stakuyi be ingame
And his Daughter
I got banned for asking them
Calling their mod My little larper got them mad
Then asking for a princess Molestia April fools update got me banned
I don’t think the EaW mods have actually even watched MLP to the end
When will we ever get the other half of the USA in Fallout.....
They literally went to DC and took the Constitution for the enclave
Not for awhile, the logistics of optimization alone would be a nightmare
Also btw, EaW isnt meant to be show accurate
Its built off the show and comics
But very much still has its own lore
They purposely change and leave things out to better fit their own narritive
More like: WW2 Nations and geopolitical nations spiced up to fit the MLP style
There's like, 3 giant continents on the map
Eh sorta but not really
It’s essentially like its own alternate universe
Much like how Fallout Equestria is also its own alternate universe
Exactly
A question I have had for a while is by doing Anschluss and fate of Czechoslovakia earlier, does it give a bigger boost to industry than doing it later?
0 manpower as ger is crazy
obviously
you get more buffs to construction speed as ger than austria
what are you expecting gang
better
this is Germany not china
never
ok
isnt that 25% of population
anyway yeah hes not even at war so hes prob on like limited
I’m not at war
hi not at war im dad
maybe dont lose 20 mil to poland next time
you cant disarm in hoi4
never did
0/10
false allegations
I'm sorry little Timmy
You go to the frontlines soon.
And babushka with mosin as well
also is 4 year plan better or kill mefo bill?
4yp but you need to cap the soviets
its not hard unless ur new
PEG is better long term if you want to play the long game
now you see I have cool thing called skill issue where this isnt possible
why
just do 36w infantry then battle plan
why
i dunno i just suck at the game
puppet template i was given
the entente is growing
chinaredux mention
wow
wtf am i cooking
peak
ur on the path to greatness
just research gun 3
build up a good stockpile of gun 3 then just battleplan
looks pretty normal to me tbh
add flame tanks or light armoured recon as well just for fun
or both
and assault engineer
and logi and hospital
equipment 1 😭
holy attrition
are you following the red baron soviet guide?
never heard of the guy
what do your divisions look like btw
are you just using those 32-widths?
no
Look man it's 1938 and I probably wont need to do that
ill only do that in 1940
you are producing a lot of armored support vehicles tbh
O.o NATO insignia is too much larp
because is fun
this game is so stupid bro
seljuk khiva is painful
i havent even integrated any of my conquered lands either
so i couldnt reinforce my divs
Iran joins the axis,
send 2 armies down to iran
take 5-7 tiles
Sits to defend the front line
Iran offers a conditional surrender, giving up more tiles for peace
Hell yeah
Pulls back the two armies to redeploy on the eastern front
2 DAYS LATER
GERMANY CALLS IRAN AS OUR ENEMY
IRAN STARTS MARCHING ON EMPTY TILES WHILE STILL HAVING A PEACE DEAL WITH ME
HELLO?
yeah thats normal
they do that
truce doesnt stop ai
good, next playthrough i'll brutally annex them
🇪🇪 We are all weve got
🇪🇪 weve always Had the POWER not anymore
🇪🇪 all we have is eachother
Doing the Stresa Front as Italy, managed to encircle a bit of german divisions.
I'm not a really good player so I guess this strategy could be optimized more
also since Germany is losing, Lithuania refused to give up Memel lol
whats the best french path?
napoleon
which path is that
if i remember right the fascist one
try to search napoleon in the focus tree
national bloc, leagues, council of rambouillet or something like that, proclaim the third empire
aight
i love this game
Guys is there a way to just delete or disband these inter war reserve airplanes?
they are so annoying when i want to put new planes into an airbase and i have to read through like 30 models
how did you do this by 1939 lmao
idk
i just snaked
and abandoned territories that i couldnt protect from countries i was at war with
holding against russia was kinda hard because the whitepeace took almost a year
and egypt was very annoying to kill
i used cav for everything
im not gonna try to kill the ottomans for a while
id 100% get slimed by them
now my empire is just some timurid type shit
I love this frickin game so much yes
where are your cores even
why do you have neither an industry nor an army
its 1938
what have you been doing for the last 3 years
its dec 38
and i cant garrison everything i have
its 3 years
but nothing can revolt though
2 years 11 month if you insist
blue is your cores?
yes
i dont have DLCs
does anybody know whats Hebei-Chahars tag is?
use debug?
js check it with tdebug
i found it
I hope you don't mean to say you just sat and built civs the entire time
i didnt build only civs
IM GETTING DOUBLE NAVAL INVADED
this is NOT fair
USA JOINED THE WARE WITH ME I MIGHT BE SAVED!
no
ur dead
ur still dead
usa aint going to the balkans
hbc
ai isnt that smart sadly
i dont think ur going to be willing to keep this save though
ur yugo
im gonna make a come back trust
ill pray and hope germany will help me
OH MY DAYS bulgaria joined the war against me
im fighting naval invasions, and 2 fronts
nvm bulgaria had no troops ig
IM SAVED GERMANY JOIND N
hiii livadeia
90284647620671506
im doing a counter invasion rn
the true union
tried to see if i could actually rush them (failed)
i had a save though
good nighties
just tried dead by daylight, realized im too shit so im hopping back on hoi4
but im not too good on hoi4 either
someone gimme a good mod for a country rework im bored
67 guns
okay so hear me out
15 trains + 58 other = 73
and since its 50% the first number is 5 so 73-5=68
and since its infantry equipment 1, then its 68-1 = 67
67 SIX SEVEEEEEN
for a small micro ass nation
okay so hear me out MENTAL has 6 letters and ILLNESS has 7
so that means
67 SIX SEEEVEEEEN SIX SIX SIX SEEEVEEN
It is letters instead of words
they are letters and words
Nice map mod....(or overhaul) you got there
Mind dropping the name?
Stege Map Mod Fix
Impressive
why do the british have like zero naval dominance in the channel 🤔
because they are stupid
Naval Bombers are cooking probably
Win minor skirmish against the main British fleet > Fleet goes to repair > Blockade home islands > UK has no fuel > Fleet never comes out again
what year is this
UK doesn't know what fuel is.
pretty well so far
cause mine gets capped at 20fps no matter what
my last game got corrupted though in like the 50's during my challenge
so ironman mode is off this time so i dont lose my entire game to nothing
By 1944 im capped at 20fps with a i512400f and a dude with a i712400(very similar) on a laptop can get to the 50s with no lag
my gpu doesnt get used at all
I tried everything but it just wont work
you tried performance mods?
I literally run the game at like 100fps and then randomly it drops to 20
yes I have
hm
I tried one that limits the ai to historical numbers and another one that changes some graphic stuff thats unnoticeable
mine starts at 100 or so and stays that way until one day it just drops to 20
in tfr for example I usually was making it up to 2026 with no lag but now for some reason it drops to 20 fps by 2023
its probably my cpu but it should run better than this
how many chrome tabs
none
or 1
and I have discord on the web
cause my brother uses the app for his account so yeah
wtf
do you have hungary
are you doing any other decisions to reunify Austria hungary
no
Cause like I'm pretty sure that thing just says that you cant try to take over multiple countries at once
im not tho
guys im bored
then its probably bugged
give me a country with a special tree to play
how do i report
try to go to your focus tree and search old lands in there
maybe its a focus
shouldn't be tho
commie china
yes
theres a bar up there that allows you to search stuff
yes but im not doing any focus like that
So search for "old lands" to see if its related to a focus
Aussa
im doing reform the central powers
can i get a european minor pls
Is a country
im not getting annexed by italy in 4 mins
Yes but just search to see if a focus like that exists
you can refuse
no
no
Do that one to see if it works
ok fine ill try
but it means the decision
i cant believe im doing this
ive done it while doing the focus
try it anyway it takes like a month ingame
If you dont try anything ur gonna die eitherway cause u cant annex anyone
wtf is this trash
dude the focus takes like 2 minutes to do
its a different focus tree
do i go industrial or historical lmao
ok
lets go bro i have 1 mil in my entire country and nothing else
have u ever played austria
Yes but in rt56
kinda obvious
and its a bit different
it doesnt make sense at all what u told me earlier
then fix your problem yourself?
its a bug
the screenshot says that by taking that focus the decisions to integrate the old lands are available
i realized immediately i was tryna find out if i can fix it
son
can you read
yes
puppet the dutch
clearly
📱
armed forces spawns units in
decisions are the efforts
Read at the bottom
and im not doing them
gng the focus is not cancelling that
could be
you kinda can
there isnt a command for that
there is a few
like?
decision.nochecks
and im not smuggling it in to the save games file
You could restart
you could try to build up
and invade them manually once ww2 starts
I mean Hungary at the very least
czechs getting annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
the TFR russian navy now consists of 5 fleet carriers ; )
Invade Hungary
Build up
Pray that axis starts to die to the allies at some point
Invade the axis in like 44
Win
or you can get yourself some decent divisions and just invade the axis and let them grind against you until they get millions of casualties
Skill issue
ykw im gonna try again
shut yo ass up
whats wrong with you buddy
you sure are buddy
why is my flag just red
whats wrong with that
isn't there a focus that makes you a Italian puppet
this is cursed
im not being a puppet bro
lol
You could become a puppet take over some of Africa Then break free
welp too late they just declared
nope the focus is only aviable if you are already a puppet so italy has to release you
oh well
then why does it even exist dude
Italy never releases anyone
if you as italy decide to balkanise ethiopia ig?
it would have been simpler for them to allow you to become a puppet
willingly
the event of italian demands to annexation come so dam quickly you couldnt even finish a 35 days focus at times
it depends how well ethiopia can hold onto tigray
make it a decision then
make it so if you hold for like a month in the war(doable) you can click a button and become a puppet
why are my destroyers just refusing to operate past that blue region? they are all in riga and leningrad so they have access to the baltic sea
no reach
how cant they reach it, they are stationed in leningrad and riga? and they reached a tile of it
whats stopping them from the rest
maybe the fact that those regions arent in your reach
the destroyer's range itself you mean?
why would soviet navies just be allowed to march into the English channel for example
realistically
ignore the english, i mean the baltic
yeah probably no reach
why are you playing aussa
because someone told me to
who
.
i want an interesting country
why all balkans
sweden monarchist path
sultante of aussa
yeah
just finished a finland fascist run'
thats a good one
bro
sweden monarchist
i literally just lost three times as aussa
play sweden
i want to unite the nordics
yeah
its bcs you arent building the optimized templates
u said u wanted an interesting minor country
then play sweden
for aussa
but the germans steal denmark and norway too early
sweden CAN unite the nordics 🤔
thats a skill issue
its in 1940 tfym too early 😭??
i have 1 mil what templates can i build
js take them earlier then
ok ill try sweden
try forming the eternal nordic empire
i have only 100 hours im not that good
a few of these should work bro
or den norstordiska rike or whatever it was called
yeah sure
oh yeah
i used those at one point at aussa
yeah exactly
honestly that guy doesnt get it tbh
he doesnt realize how op and easy aussa is
100 hours is enough to know the basics of the basics
I think the US can field 1 division of those every 5 years
do i do kalmar union or nordic unity
the bigger one
in which order should i invade
denmark finland norway and iceland'
you do it diplomatically
how
yes bro
its defense act
then wait for wt to rise
then the old enemy stirs
prevent a red dictatorship
undermine the fascists
i see the narvik crisis which is norway and the bornholm crisis which is for denmark
then at the very bottom i can integrate them
no you wouldnt its like 5 bajillion core population
should i form the nordic council
you can time it with barbarossa so that the germans do some of the work
yo
How many transport planes are needed for 12 division paratroopers
I currently have 412 planes and it still says I need more
@worn cliffNo swastika's please
😭 are we fr
ok well like this better
wait
@light goblet
but by the time i get to the bottom of the focus tree denmark and norway would already be annexed
does anyone know which one of italy's focuses leads to friendship with germany
Im tryna make a shitpost
pact of steel ?
Thankz
What is this?
Which problem?
In this channel? And wdym no state names? Like if you click on a state nothing shows in the bottom left?
In eng version the name of all states are like state_46 but If I change to other language the names of states are ok.
I will send a Photo.
100% vanilla or modded?
100% vanilla.
Yes.
Their name are changed.
To state_number
In Germany version in ok. Just in eng version I have that problem.
Oh so like you have the German version of HOI4 with blacked out Hitler?
If I put the game in another language, for example German, the names of the states are normal
I dont have that version.
Oh so you have the normal version
My only problem is why my state are no name?
I’d recommend maybe clearing cache, reinstalling then seeing if you have it
And absolutely make sure no mods at all are on
If it persists then you’d have to submit a bug report on the forum
Where I can clearing the cache?
I believe Steam settings for the game
Let me find the actual terminology
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET AWAY FROM THIS NUMBER...
Everything happen when I copy two folders from original game and after I put in my common folder mod. The mod doesnt exist anymore.
I’d do Steam, HOI4, Properties, Installed Files, Verify Integrity. See if it fixes. If not, reinstall, verify integrity, double check mods, make sure game version is up to date not beta or other
Oh yeah so you probably would need a fresh install
Sounds like you overided something
I do Verify Integrity but not work.
Then just do a complete reinstall of HOI4
I will nothing lose?
Wdym
Hello can i do naval invasions for example im japan i wanna invade the dutch and have mil access with germany?
Mods should be fine. But saves maybe not. Though you may be able to save your saves to another file then drag back
Though this problem probably won’t go away till you do fresh install
Unless you find what you changed in files
Sounds like the Eng State pathing is off
Does anyone jnow
I think.
Naval invasion from German land? Only if they’re also at war with them
I’d personally just do a fresh install. Otherwise see where English State names are stored and see if any file names are off causing path issue
Ok. I will try.
For singleplayer?
IMO no. You can do find with normal line arty, especially against AI. SPG’s are better than line but way more expensive
I think I found the problem.
wtf
Nice, hopefully you can fix it
I did it!!!!!
No wayyyy.
It was just a stupid folder.
they're the only viable tanks to use in sp
That’s awesome! Yeah, often it is a simple fix. I just can’t be bothered lol
line artillery is more expensive and worse
its just strictly worse to spgs
but pure inf is better in most cases
Than a Self Propelled gun?
yes
Idk my SPG’s always mega expensive
is the helicopter things good?
But in SP inf is just way better than anything with vehicles
you're probably doing them wrong
and more expensive per unit != more expensive to use
yuh
so i should use it?
depens on your economy
I think the only wrong thing is to have line arty in any shape or form, outside of in a specific Mountaineer division
but the field hospital with helicopter is gud
Heli Brigade is a decent jack of all trades
what does it do?
trickleback manpower and maintain war supp iirc
ok ty
btw im kinda in a resource crisis as the soviets what do i do
Which resource are you lacking?
trade
like every country is barely trading steel and i need tons of it
and im trading with most of them already
plus i have -172 coal
dosent the ussr have a lot of steel
Oh, Soviets can build like a bajillion steel too
coal too
Lost Ukraine? 😭
ussr has a lot of coal
no
i have 257 military factories and 200 smth civ factoies and im using war economy
plus i have like 176 factoies making tonks
Just set eco to civilian economy, max infra coal/iron states and put the new resource efficiency building in those states. Then research construction speed/resource gathering and the coal techs
and it needs lots of steel
Why does liechtenstein have a rocket site.
176 is kinda overkill
well i need tonks fast
100 i enough 😭
not for me!
This is why I hate using tanks. Way too resource hungry
Gun, Support Equipment, arty, anti air can conquer the world easily
Liechtenstein is planning something with that rocket site.. i know it..
im not trying to conquer the world right now
do you guys think we will ever get cold war content? focuses + new start dates
Soviets are fun bc you can just curb stomp Poland and Germany in 1936-1937
wow
yet im in 1946
Im alreqdy at war with the dutch what do i do
and (hold on im gonna get pic of da map)
Already have. Warsaw Pact, NATO, ICBM’s, Thermonuclear bombs
But is Germany?
i curb-stomped France in 1938 yesterday..
Yeah Soviets are busted
Beyond the scope of the game
that areas the only place i got extra terriotory
insane border gore
No
that is disgusting
not my fault cuz my allies take everything
If you play Soviets again, try justifying on Poland ASAP, then annex it super quick. And Germany right after. Neither are prepared for war so early
it would be pretty nice to get content up until 1960 wouldnt it?
Did the italian ai control them..
idk
italy when i help them take everything: "Is for me.. 👉 👈 ??"
why not?
i dont even understand why they had to take everything when i do most of the work
Why is Lithuania melting?
how get warsaw pact
Power creep. The entire game becomes unplayable after 1949 when everyone starts WWIII and hurls nukes at each other.
repost?
Mb
Focus tree I think then decision?
if theyre gonna do that then they should make it so the ai doesnt mass spam divs
yeah this is also a big problem of this game
well its because i puppeted some of that cause i like the look of the border situation with east poland and stuff
oh
what focus bro
they should do that even if they dont add content up until 1960
why does liechtenstein even get a rocket site.. like its 1937 in my game, and they already have a rocket site
So pushing content to 1960 would make it worse. R56 is bad enough in this regard already
Rt56 devs be glazing liechtenstein with a rocket site.. 🥀
they should limit the ai and add some demilitirasation mechanics perhaps so cold war becomes possible around 1960
bro this is pissing me off my own ally has a war goal against me
liechtenstein was that powerful in 1937
shiver me timbers.. 👀
lol
r u gonna tell what focus
Ah yeah, the GWX approach. Nuke your gameplay to artificially reset the balance for the narrative. Just accept that this series is WWII only. It only goes to 1949 because of China anyway
Maybe the one called “Found the Warsaw Pact”? 😭
sfp if you wanna do inf bricks lwk
Bottom of the Soviet Eco tree on the left
Assault infantry is already being researched when you start out as the US
oh damn ok
Superior Firepower and Assault infantry is what you start out as the US
then its good
maybe that uh doesn't exist!
unless its dlc only
No step back
i have no step back
Same
R56?
This isn't RT56
it isn't there bro
hai :3
Afternoon lads
Timezones moment
its 8:53 am
i know about timezones bro
It’s 9:55pm you silly billies
its -9:55pm you tomatos
bulgaria is fun to play the only bad thing is that you reallys start to play around 1940
Can someone tell me why i cant use my civs (for trade and building and stuff) is it because of the MEFO Bills?
yea is emfo
mefo*
cancel the mefo bill
bro if you dont have enough civs as Germany even with mefos that is just a u problem
did you clicked the button th the decisons?
No idea which dlc added it then
question for everyone here: whats the best dlc ever made for hoi4
This is Vanilla
So actually the Mefo Bills changed to Economy of conquest
No Step Back.
u dont need no step back to form warsaw pact bro
you need theone with factions and stuff
like the faction goal one
no step back
URA
The sovs tree in og hoi4 was complete garbage
yes
also tank designer
Plus the tank designer
exactly
dont remind me of it
it was about the same size as old italy tree
anyone know any fun kaiserredux paths
Too late. 210 days for the purge
Which was also diabolical
BATTLE OF BOSPOROUS🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬
Bulgaria managed to come out with the best tree from that dlc, congrats
gotterdamurung
arms against tyranny
too op imo
At least try to spell it right man…
old mefo was so good tho
What is too op in gotterdamerung
germ
NSB + BBA must have basically
its spelled Götterdamerüng right?
Only one umlaut
so i dont get ur point
for mp games
ofc because its the freatest nation the balkans
GERMANY IS TOO OP! GERMANY IS TOO OP!
What do you play then bro
wdym
Do you play historical belgium in MP games?
what
@shut foxPlease dont ping Paradox staff for random things
You can make suggestions on the Paradox forums
?
We love IMRO in this house 
Why can "dreams of a new byzantinum" tsar not reform byzantinum?
It’s a new one with less greco-romanism and more orthodox slavic romanism
no...?
They scammed themselves by outsourcing the production and doing no testing
I dont get why people dont like GOE excluding the bugs which of ocurse i agree with
But the focus trees are pretty good
because its like r56
on release didnt elephants have like heavy tanks stats or something?
Afghanistan and Iran are ok. India is complete garbage. Done dirty
how???
india doesnt even have a "historical" path right?
why aren't my troops carrying out my orders
cuz they are double agents
i do remember hearing paradox let modders make it
Sort of. It’s really difficult to do historical
You should have executed them, like stalin!
some were r56 devs if my memory serves me
Hello
paradox cant let modders help make a dlc again
bro actually
No modders worked on GoE afaik
it was either goe or the newest dlc
Goe was made by like a indian dev team that paradox worked with
The czech dlc is modders
makes perfect sense why it was shit
They hired people specifically for dlc content before with BftB. Iirc different people did each of the 3 trees
yea and like a mod it should be free
imo all dlcs made with modders should be free
I think its not true
What iwll czech dlc price be
If it was free it couldnt be as good
€6
American price?
6$
i still aint buyin it
no one is forcing you to btw
id rather just download a mod for the Czech
the focus tree is trash too lmso
I only buy the dlcs once I do a disaster save using it 
$7... 67
apparently rt56 has a better czech tree than the new dlc's
allegedly
is anyone gonna tell him
The current Road to 56 tree is pretty fun, I played it like 10 times, but our DLC is better imo
I don't like your joke, your going to the eastern front.
bro why was it removed
hopefully the dlc is not 35 dollars
You cant post Stalin/Hitler memes unless I misremember
honestly the next dlc needs to be big and actually good
and paradox need to take it seriously
The most cursed axis
because it feels like they have said dont even bother with playing vanilla just play mods
but still buy our dlcs
thunder at our dlcs
had a game that communist France was in the Chinese united front
bro paradox need to fix the ai
but they cant because the ai and the game engine is older than my nan
rip
its why ive said they have to remaster the game
bro found out the Sweden fascist experience
WHERE IS THE US
Poland - 1939
just leave the game it’s not saveable the only way to stop Germany is to keep them stuck at kobehagen
watch me
watching
No but soviet union joined axis
there is a focus for that
bro paradox need to remove that focus
I believe in you animeman
anti fun police
probably possible if you play non historical
I had a game where Byzantium joined the continerm anything is possible in this game
again another example of the ai being dumber than a 2 year old
the ai being dumb makes the game fun
Truth nuke
Stupid things make it fun
not for me
Very few play hoi4 for historical accuracy
im gonna start making tanks now
i play it for the empire building and the lore
also half of the formables would not be 100 times harder
hoi did get me into what ifs after all
what are those
i mean i know some gamers like when stupid things happen in any game but i just dont
tanks
do u want tips on how to make ur tanks better?
sure
honestly tho rn idk what mod to play
- 36w is the best for tanks in vanilla rn, 2 rows of trucks and 2 rows of tanks
i either want to play japan or soviets in kx
and better and more support companies
guys today i will show the most cursed hoi4 game ever
let's start with this
now this
paradox look at what you have done to youre game
aight
hahahaha i escaped
to iceland
is line artillery good?
no
ive never seen someone actually use artillery in a template
screw im playin japan in kx
when is hoi5 coming out
today im pretty sure
as the imperial rule assistance association
67
sleep
100 hours in and im still trying to pick what country to main
russia is really bad in todays state of the game
what would u recommend
uhhh
1 major and 1 minor
no
well to make a pick i would need to know more about ur playstyle
