hoi4-general

[rare arch]

real

[fair compass]

i only had la resistance at the time..

[grave sonnet]

2nd best DLC btw

Great shit

[hybrid galleon]

Just as I was understanding navy they redo it

[vapid tendon]

well I'm saying it's the only reason to play a neutral country

[crimson crane]

Is the submarine detection glitch fixed with the new update?

[vapid tendon]

doesn't matter what you had

[hybrid galleon]

What glitch?

[rare arch]

i dont get it gotterdammerung was an extremely expensive dlc but atleast it was good. paradox knows what we want and can make good dlcs if they want why do they make shitty things like no compromise no surrender (in terms of mechanics)

[crimson crane]

The detection one

[hybrid galleon]

No like what is it about

[woeful knoll]

NCNS doesnt have shitty mechanics bro

What do you mean

[grave sonnet]

Gotterdammerung... Amazing stuff

[rare arch]

naval system sucks, faction system sucks

both of the new mechanics suck thus ncns has shitty mechanics

[woeful knoll]

I get not liking the naval system but the faction system is meant for multiplayer and way better then before

[grave sonnet]

I only like it because of new china

[vapid tendon]

faction system is good

[woeful knoll]

And the naval system isnt that bad its just bad for minors and better for majors

[hybrid galleon]

Ehh it was decent but the Special Projects needed to be done better as it locks out MANY small countries from getting them

[vapid tendon]

it's optional anyway

[rare arch]

for mp it isnt bad but it takes 1 non hist run to realize faction system sucks

[fair compass]

alr bro im turning you into a hoi4 mod 🥀 🤞

[crimson crane]

It basically broke the visibility formula or some shit and made subs have a lot more visibility and made them a lot worse

[rare arch]

nah you guys think faction system isnt bad because you havent played non hist

[woeful knoll]

what

how

[rare arch]

ive seen democratic + communist + fascists in the same factions

[woeful knoll]

i play on non hist a lot

[hybrid galleon]

Damn

[fair compass]

-# when you hate a guy so much you turn him into a hoi4 mod

[rare arch]

the restrictions are way too loose

and the faction merge system is disgusting

[fair compass]

OKAY BROI

[woeful knoll]

Thats called the allies

[sudden thistle]

sure is windy

[woeful knoll]

Also u can change the restrictions

[lethal ether]

it never happens to me

[vapid tendon]

how is that even an insult

[fair compass]

idkk

[hybrid galleon]

Funny enough it’s quite windy outside my home

[rare arch]

im sorry but playing as ethiopia and having communist ussr + fascist italy + democratic uk+ in the same faction and having to fight them isnt normall

and wouldnt happen prior ncns

[fair compass]

i see people turning others into shit, i saw some guy turn a guy into a baldi's basics map

and some other guy into a furry

[rare arch]

i know this because the moment i swapped versions super factions stopped happening

[rare arch]

i agree thats why i said (in terms of mechanics) the focus trees aint that bad

[woeful knoll]

your literally on RANDOM mode dude. Thats just a bad roll. You get bad rolls in all grand strategy games, too, maybe ur neightbor in eu4 allies the most powerful nation.

[sudden thistle]

does mexico creating super allies happen still

[hybrid galleon]

Factions never been fun imo

[rare arch]

yes them declaring on the entire world and spiking world tension to 100

its a canon event in every run

[rare arch]

i have 5000 hours in the game

so let me reiterate

[hybrid galleon]

Though they redo factions but not the terrible Gurantee independence aspect

[rare arch]

i was doing ethiopia achievements

[sudden thistle]

thats not a flex 😭

[fair compass]

nah but mexico randomly getting joseph stalin happens.

[rare arch]

i did a total of 8 runs 7 in 1.17 1 in 1.16. the moment i swapped version i got it because EVERY single time a super faction formed

[hybrid galleon]

Deadass?

[rare arch]

its not random it happens every time

[woeful knoll]

Your crashing out because u got a bad roll on random mode and now your telling me you have 5k hours like thats a good thing.

[rare arch]

i hate women and grass this is a flex for me

[woeful knoll]

As what?

Ethiopia what path

[rare arch]

ethiopia i was trying to get the achievements

[woeful knoll]

which one

[rare arch]

both historical and alternate communist

[sudden thistle]

yall should try alt hist sheeps mod

rlly good

[fair compass]

no, im just jokin, its just a bum joke of me switching the places of stalin and trots so stalin is in mexico leading the commies and trotski leading the uhh USSR

[hybrid galleon]

That’s actually really funny

[woeful knoll]

I dont get the appeal of that mod

Unlike a human the ai has infinete micromanagmenet

So u are forced to use cheese builds

[sudden thistle]

tf u mean cheese builds

[rare arch]

completely untrue i have beat sheep's ai fair and square

[sudden thistle]

i won with guns only

[woeful knoll]

If u love making SPG mech walls i guess it would be good

[sudden thistle]

literally just rifles and railway guns

[fair compass]

-# swiss div templates be like

[rare arch]

tf u mean spgs are horrible

[woeful knoll]

then its not hard enough

[sudden thistle]

no

[fair compass]

its just soldiers using literal cheese

[woeful knoll]

self propelled artillery is not horrible

[sudden thistle]

it works great in sheeps

[rare arch]

no org + 3 combat width im sorry its horrible

[lethal ether]

what? it isnt impossible

[rare arch]

pure mech + guns is ironically better

[hybrid galleon]

Best cheese build is engineer, horse recon, AA and Arty, flame tank and nine inf and one arty

[sudden thistle]

do the doctrine for it

[grave sonnet]

Bro they go a long way...

[sudden thistle]

no

[rare arch]

even with doctrine its too low

[woeful knoll]

I know its not impossible its just not fun

[sudden thistle]

your clearly arent doing it right then

[lethal ether]

do you like walking over everyone in singleplayer?

[grave sonnet]

If you do them right they go CRAZYYYY

[sudden thistle]

i was able to kill soviets and do a Sealion with SPG's

[rare arch]

this^^^ the ai gets dumber every update i bitched about this on this server many times

[hybrid galleon]

It’s fun for a bit but then it gets boring

[woeful knoll]

if the game was designed accurately and better, no, but in its current state, u need to walk over your minor neightbors in order to combat the super allies faction with 9999999999999 divs and every update makes this worse

If your playing on historical germany

I guess sheeps mod would be better

But for communist shanxi clique it isnt

[lethal ether]

sheeps mod isnt even that hard if u do anyrhing by the book, its 1000% the fix

[sudden thistle]

it works good with alt hist

the AI more or less correlate

[rare arch]

sheeps mod really isnt hard if you guys want a challenge sheeps mod + max buff

now thats a challenge

[sudden thistle]

like german empire, austria hungary

[rare arch]

i couldnt figure it out

[sudden thistle]

and a working ottomans

[woeful knoll]

is kumul khatane/khotan ma possible in that mod tho

i havent tried it yet

stuff like that and luxemborg

[sudden thistle]

@heavy vigil has probably unironically done that

[lethal ether]

historical ai is bad at everything just look at the soviets

[sudden thistle]

but the mod in general isnt meant for someone to play Khotan Ma

[lethal ether]

vanilla

[woeful knoll]

are u talking about the forever civil war lol

[woeful knoll]

i guess thats why i dont like it then

i like playing stuff lie kthat

[sudden thistle]

anyways i need to finish my stuff

[hybrid galleon]

Fire name

[fierce grail]

</3

Mp template btw

[hybrid galleon]

The militia are amazing

[lethal ether]

its W

[fierce grail]

I found this hoi4 rippoff

[hybrid galleon]

Just some guy with little equipment and a gun fighting alongside a tank

[hybrid galleon]

He horror

[fierce grail]

Im doin a demo china run but i cant find the focus tree

[hybrid galleon]

No focus tree? Please no more

[fair compass]

why do my neighbours always end my goddamn hungary runs

first it was romania

now its the czechs forcing me to puppet them with their goddamn army thats 4x stronger

wth am i supposed to do agaisnt this shit, they got 43 i got 17 DIVISIONS

[hybrid galleon]

Romania?

[fair compass]

i just said czechs

[hybrid galleon]

I see

Yeah Romania and Czech armies are unfairly strong early game

And they some how summon more troops from nowhere

https://tenor.com/view/calling-tell-me-more-wizard-gif-14406275

[sudden thistle]

dont hate on vic3

[fierce grail]

I kinda wanna make china go boom

[sudden thistle]

vic3 is goated

[heavy vigil]

vic3 is goated wdym

no

i havent done that

[heavy vigil]

yes

your allies also license you stuff and help you more

its only harder if you do your thing poorly

[fair compass]

the czechs when its 1938 and they summon 120 different divs only to give up to the 60 div german army

and i decided, to save myself via giving up my political tree to stay independent as a czech puppet

[deep dagger]

Hello folks

[fair compass]

a semi-united china

[lethal ether]

a semitruck:

[drowsy sundial]

bruh

[fair compass]

crazy factions bro

who in gods name are you

[sour hare]

ı lost war becaouse france was major and ı dont

[willow gull]

lmao

[sour hare]

ı dont lose slovakia (ım fighting with german italian hungarian and romanians but somehow french ai cant even hold italians

and they dont lose paris too just africa and south of their country

[patent thistle]

the only thing the fr*nch are good for

[hybrid galleon]

Fr

[hybrid galleon]

The [REDACTED] doing something good? Impossible

[patent thistle]

for the romanian mediation always pick fr*nce

they tend to give you everything then

let me make hungary even more wierdly shaped

[acoustic wasp]

chat i really think the game should let us use lets say certain artillery units to just bomb the shit out of certain enemy units like 3-4 tiles away or if not artillery i just want to be able to bomb specific tiles and damage whatever units are on it actual damage

sometimes like the last play through i had stalingrad almost encircled it took me around 180 days to build a supply hub on my side of fhe frontline and connect it to be able to push again they had like 35 divisions or so sitting on 5 tiles and I couldn't do anything

why can't i just launch bombing missions instead of doing allat

[opal nymph]

I dont think artillery can hit stuff 100 miles away.

Tiles can be insanely large

[acoustic wasp]

well not arty then just let me launch strat bombing missions on certain tiles

especially when fighting near japan or indochina the supplies are excruciatingly painful

[opal nymph]

So, you want to strat bomb states and not just everything in an air zone

[acoustic wasp]

for some reason japan declared war on me fascist germany last run and when I puppetted the soviets they immediately declared war and took a big chunk of the eastern side i couldn't launch a naval invasion nor take the land back

wish i could just bomb specific tiles

[opal nymph]

Every time Japan declares war on me, I am able to retake the railroad

Idk why you are struggling

It can be a pain, but it isnt impossible to retake the railroad

Also CAS vaporizes enemy organization and strength

Use that

[acoustic wasp]

i was caught with my pants down they are sitting on the supply hubs and have expanded and swallowed all the asian cliques, my tank battalions are very drained after fighting the soviets i need like 200 days to reinforce them again and they use like 3. something supplies I can't push with them lol

[acoustic wasp]

i have a thousand fighters and 7391722928 cas assigned to each general anyways

[opal nymph]

Then you don't have the air field capacity

Also why are your tanks exhausted

[acoustic wasp]

well yeah im fighting in Mongolia

[opal nymph]

To be fair, I'm the guy who usually has 5000 tanks in stockpile

[acoustic wasp]

i just finished the soviets off and puppeted them

[opal nymph]

And just uses 20 some divisions

I never have that issue

[acoustic wasp]

i used 48 for the russian offensive

4 sets of 12

just doing pincers across the front line

[opal nymph]

Why not 2 sets of 24

[acoustic wasp]

the frontline was huge i annexed romania

and hungary

plus i had 2 pinching Moscow

[opal nymph]

I usually have them as allies helping me out

[acoustic wasp]

one pinching leningrad with the finnish offensive

and one pushing stalingrad

[opal nymph]

What are your tank divisions btw

Just wondering

48 36 widths would be insane and would make sense why they are lacking in equipment if you just battleplanned them into crap terrain

[acoustic wasp]

i experimented with heavy spgs they are good but eat supplies

i had 2 lines of 4 heavy spgs

2 armoured heavy tank destroyers
2 lines of 4 mechanized

support companies are medium flame tanks, armoured recon, assault engineers, logi and support arty

[opal nymph]

Holy crap

Those are huge

Those are like 44 widths

[acoustic wasp]

36

[opal nymph]

Aren't spgs 3 width

[acoustic wasp]

no

2

[opal nymph]

Really? Thought they were 3

[acoustic wasp]

line arty is the 3 width i think im not sure

[opal nymph]

Line arty is 3, I just thought it applied to artillery tanks

[acoustic wasp]

nah they're 2

[crisp crag]

hitler ask Greece to give land to Italy and Bulgaria, Greece refuse and hitler go to war against them, and Lithuania refuse to give Memel and join the ally

[acoustic wasp]

but yeah i had a butt ton of factories i could overturn a deficit of 5k mechanised, 11k spgs in 170 days lol

[crisp crag]

i really wonder if he's going to have the balls to attack me

[digital ingot]

are we deadass 😭

tf you mean peru is a major power

[foggy scaffold]

I got smt to say a lot about the french/british puppets.

So much

[tired jackal]

6 usd for an unfinished dlc

that lowk gas

[foggy scaffold]

I hate british and French puppets so much

[tired jackal]

czech light tanks

trust bro

[foggy scaffold]

I have a LOT to say about those stupid puppets

Which imo is good

[copper sluice]

lets go

thats what I want to see out of my puppets

0 civs but all military trees maxed out

[foggy scaffold]

Puppeting puppets that belong to france britain and pretty sure the Netherlands and Belgium suck

[digital ingot]

yes

cus historically they get freedoom

so their focus tree have that

witch gives them tons of autonomyu

[foggy scaffold]

Theres

Well

[digital ingot]

and they straigh up suck

[foggy scaffold]

Flags & colour.

[digital ingot]

to not make those major op

yeah

for example i have india puppeted

as germany

[foggy scaffold]

I just cant stand the colour nor flags

[foggy scaffold]

OH BRO

[digital ingot]

and stil got the british flag

[foggy scaffold]

I HAVE A WHOLE THING OF IT

THIS

everytime you puppet a british/french puppet, or liberate them. Their colour should change to their independent colour and not the same colour as britain/france, take canada and the raj for example, say you're communist/fascist and you puppet either of them, their colour stays the same and so do their flags with the union jack in the corner, and all thats different is their ideolgy and leader. And maybe their focus should change to the corresponding ideolgy to the 1 they can do at the start of the game? But hell I hope they fix it.

That

[digital ingot]

ah yeah

they keep the british color

malaya and burma do

[foggy scaffold]

Yea

All of em

[digital ingot]

yep

id like that would be a part of the game that

puppets get the color

of their overlord

like that one mod

[foggy scaffold]

Just that if you liberate them

They dont keep their old stuff

Flag / colour

[digital ingot]

oh

[foggy scaffold]

Canada raj Burma everything else

[digital ingot]

they become generic nations?

i didnt know that

i usually puppet instantly after winning the war

[foggy scaffold]

I like doing

How do I put it

Scenarios cuz im weird

Like

Mods if you think abt it

But

Sometimes I liberate them for the fun of it or to do what I do

[foggy scaffold]

Have you seen the

African formables

[digital ingot]

nope

oh

welp in some vidios

mainly cuz im too lazy to form them myself

those take ages

[foggy scaffold]

They look cool

But

[digital ingot]

i usually annex africa

i consider those puppets lowkey useless

[foggy scaffold]

Well there are formanlew but

Formables

West africa

[digital ingot]

yes

[foggy scaffold]

No formables over here

[digital ingot]

so wich ones do you suggest

[foggy scaffold]

From what I could see

[digital ingot]

i have all of word

just some minor nations left

(screen is a mess)

gotta annex france tho

and maybe backstab italy

[foggy scaffold]

Oh

[snow rain]

please create different theaters, group up armies or hide armies under field marshals

[foggy scaffold]

Im trying Czechoslovakia rn

(Bohemian kingdom)

[digital ingot]

oh

can i?

nvm i

remembered that exists

[snow rain]

genuinely haven't ever seen someone run out of generals as ger

[digital ingot]

i feel so stupid rn

[digital ingot]

now you saw me

each is like 80

[copper sluice]

why is iraq so fun

[digital ingot]

command power

i have so many divisons 😭 😭

my puppets are pumping non-stop

[heavy vigil]

mauritania has one

[hearty robin]

What about the survivors from the American Civil War that escaped with that gold?

[heavy vigil]

so does cameroon afaik

equatorial guinea def has one

chad also

[foggy scaffold]

They dont istg

I checked

I checked all of them

Couldn't find any formables

Its historical so why tf did germany declare war on Hungary

[hearty robin]

https://youtu.be/GlM3ieAEcRo?si=vr7maszZlbVyEhQS

[heavy vigil]

they get the thing no?

[foggy scaffold]

In decisions?

Cuz i did check and they dont

[heavy vigil]

yes

[foggy scaffold]

Nah they don't

I did check

[heavy vigil]

sorry i mustve misremembered then

[digital ingot]

why every time i cap a major a minor of the same faction becomes a major?

[foggy scaffold]

I thought they did at 1 point

Is my idea good though like genuinely

For puppets

[digital ingot]

damm bro

[foggy scaffold]

I can call Poland to my defensive war against Germany?

We're only guaranteeing eachother

[sly sluice]

lol

germany can't breaktrough

but me neither

i have fallen back into my fortifications

so this whole thing should be a damn long fight

[copper sluice]

why am I exporting so much on low exports

[sly sluice]

i am also drowing every ship i can

drowning*

[sly sluice]

huh don't know hoi4 classic

[tired jackal]

it was the czechs that liberated moscow historically

❤️

[cold frigate]

how do i fix this?

[dusky burrow]

do the autarky achieved focus

also annexing countries and taking their gold reserves

[dusky burrow]

?

[hard depot]

I make new meme

[cold frigate]

who

[digital ingot]

be aware that by anexing countries your consumer factos becomes higher every month

[cold frigate]

ohhh

[digital ingot]

the more you occupy the expensiver it gets

[cold frigate]

but ive been making puppets?

[digital ingot]

yes

but i see you got africa annexed

[cold frigate]

i only own like half of europe

[digital ingot]

you gotta reach autkarty focus

[cold frigate]

oh yeah i forgot abt that

[cold frigate]

dont have oil

japan stole in from ussr

[digital ingot]

dis one

then attack japan

[cold frigate]

\\

wait what

[digital ingot]

oh

you got a core of yours

not fully controled by you

that happens

show europe map again

[dusky burrow]

switzerland?

[cold frigate]

italy took it

[dusky burrow]

I know

[cold frigate]

it wouldve taken me like 4k war score for it

[dusky burrow]

That's part of the problem

[digital ingot]

dont make reichpromasiriat

[cold frigate]

they wanted like 4k war score

[digital ingot]

however you spell that

they suck

i like more original puppets

idk

you gotta control fully all your cores

in order to be able to do the focus

[digital ingot]

might ask

did you integrate luxembourg and alsacie loraine?

[foggy scaffold]

Yk since Czechoslovakia got a new focus

Yugoslavia and romania should.

[digital ingot]

anything but giving south american countries a focus tree

except for brazil argentina and chile ofc

[foggy scaffold]

Wow Poland is going against the soviets and germans at once and theyre holding a little

Tf

[digital ingot]

poland goated

[foggy scaffold]

Yes

Polska

Theres a lot of green bubbles

[foggy scaffold]

But uh

Yugoslavia and romania defo deserves one

Thats better

[digital ingot]

the one they already have is good enough

at least those south american countries cant do nun

unlike romania and yugoslavia

altough they are more historically relevant in this case

every nation deserves a focus trhee

welp except for central american and minor african nations idk

[foggy scaffold]

I mean yeah but Czechoslovakia got one

So why cant romania and yugoslavia get one

They're boring asf

[digital ingot]

idk

dev favoritism

i dunno

[foggy scaffold]

Bulgaria and greece is fine

They got good focus trees

Its just yugoslavia and romania

[foggy scaffold]

And hungary

But man

Id say

[foggy scaffold]

Every does but

Countries that are more

Tied in with all like

Idk how to put it but

[digital ingot]

i get what you triying to say

[foggy scaffold]

Jst that romania and yugoslavia could have such good focus trees

[digital ingot]

but following that logic

whi brazil chile and argentina got a focus

why mexico got a focus

even the baltic countries got a focus

and all they do is get annexed by the ussr

[foggy scaffold]

America being the one with a very bad focus tree of all:

Plus britain plus france.

[foggy scaffold]

Austria.

I love playing austria though tbh

[digital ingot]

im about to nuke paraguay

:Sob

:Sob

😭 😭

[digital ingot]

noice

they got an ass broken focus trhee

[foggy scaffold]

Austria gets annexed but they got a BIG focus tree

[digital ingot]

mfs can puppet almost all eastern europe

[digital ingot]

yes

[foggy scaffold]

Meanwhile America having a very bad one

Okay so

If we got the Czechoslovak dlc

Thunder at our gates

Whats next.

Predictions predictions.

[digital ingot]

american one is decent tho

that was my first nation ever played

imagine how pacifi war went

[foggy scaffold]

I hate playing them

[digital ingot]

lol

[foggy scaffold]

But whatd be after thunder at our gates

Who specifically

[digital ingot]

i lowkey like america focus

but is very repetitive

[foggy scaffold]

Im jst tryna figure out what could be next

Britain france and america are boring

Yugoslavia romania

What could it be

Japan got pushed back to Fuzan

That

That seems familiar

And they're holding too

[fair horizon]

Central america dlc

[silk fern]

sorry you got hacked nephew

[foggy scaffold]

I dont think that.

[hearty robin]

Southern Africa & West Africa

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Madagascar

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Postmaster

[tired jackal]

thyis took TO LONG

[digital ingot]

is that the german empire?

are you playing non historical?

[tired jackal]

this new dlc is kinda mid

[tired jackal]

yeah because half of the czech focus tree is based on non historical

which is weird

[warm falcon]

typical russia

[foggy scaffold]

Czechoslovakia

Is op

Tbh

[warm falcon]

only if you get to the midgame where you can do austria-hungary, before that they have no manpower at all to do anything

[foggy scaffold]

So

Heres the funny part

I puppet canada.

And

Im non aligned.

" BRITISH NORTH AMERICA "

Oh yea makes sense dont it.

And america

WHY IS EVERYTHING BRITISH

IM NOT PLAYING BRITAIN

[misty fossil]

because they are too british to be saved

At this point I kinda feel some wicked form of admiration for them, I mean, I'd also prefer to live under Franco rather than under Stalin, but, they'd really rather die, and that is a sort of bravery that deserves admiration. Also, this game really needs some fixing about the ai's decision making processes...

Would hybrid ship modules work in game, so you could build hybrid battleships like Ise?

@dusky burrow lmao u somehow got mass downvoted on your special forces cap comment

[dusky burrow]

I got logged out of reddit, hold up a second

I know why I got downvoted, their issue is not that I can expand special forces cap

Their issue is why use paratroopers when I could use infantry on one end or forest rangers on the other

It's been a long time since i touched it but i noticed Latvia gets access to Militia in their fascist tree. Question i have is if it's a locked template like when it made infantry or if i can actually field an editable militia template.

probably a locked template

[old hare]

In the peace treaty, half of Germany was given Silesia

For some reason, the German civil war began in 1938.

[opaque zinc]

You know what I hate about hoi4

Fighting the Soviet Union because

Ive gotten encirclements of like 60 units

And they just keep going bro

Like I have gotten an encirclement of 100 divisions and they just were fine

One dent in the Soviet army bro

[oak kestrel]

just kill em

[opaque zinc]

I do

They just pump out more

[oak kestrel]

do that enough and their equipment + manpower will start to run out

war of attrition

[opaque zinc]

I killed like 8 million and they still had like 2 million manpower

[oak kestrel]

damn

what year is it

[opaque zinc]

I finished the war but it was like 1944

Ive beaten everyone

[oak kestrel]

and how they got equipment to have that many men in field

[opaque zinc]

Except Japan

[opaque zinc]

No clue

[oak kestrel]

unless the ai just stacked weaker no equipment divisions

no way!

how could country with 200 million population have more than 100 divisions (barely 1 million people)

[trim plume]

theres so many german divisions bruh every inch of territory i gain they lose 600k manpower but they still have 7m left in their reserves

jawg js give up bro

[wide osprey]

that's why people invented nuclear bomb

[trim plume]

its 1939

what bomb bro

[wide osprey]

nuclear

[opaque zinc]

No i mean like

They just replace them instantly

And after multiple encirclements

Im just so ass at this game too cause like I know what I should do

[trim plume]

we are right there bro
almost there guys js a few million germans in the way

[opaque zinc]

But there’s a point (past '44) where I just give up

And just throw everything at the wall

[trim plume]

GERMANY PLEAASE

PLEAAASE

[vital cove]

me when the soviets lost 10m soldiers during ww2 but still had 25m soldiers left

[opaque zinc]

Man hoi4 is such a good game like I don’t realize it enough

It’s so complicated and in depth

Im not making a video game but I’m making a board game for a project that’s semi related to hoi4 and all these systems just seem so complicated to all put together

[wide osprey]

you need to try eu5

it's MUCH more complicated

[opaque zinc]

Absolutely not the map makes me uncomfortable why would I want to play it

Half the reason I got hoi4 over the other paradox games was because the map looked nicer

[wide osprey]

it's smol

[opaque zinc]

So smol

When the next sale is there I will buy it maybe

But the reviews don’t seem too good

[wide osprey]

oh i mean hoi4 map is smol

[fair horizon]

its pretty fun ngl

[wide osprey]

i haven't played a single game in eu5 since maybe december

not because game sucks

it's reaaally cool

i can't see no reason why people say it's bad

[trim plume]

its almost 1940 and we js managed to take 5% of like actual german lands

the are not budging at all

bajillion german divisions everywhere

[lofty adder]

Aka

[lofty adder]

What

Switherland

[opaque zinc]

Before I had dlc Italy would always declare on Switzerland on historical

[lofty adder]

What Poland 🇵🇱

Switzerland on non history always taking Austria land historical Swiss

And invading in Germany with Italy

🇨🇭 🇮🇹 🇩🇪

[opaque zinc]

Also sidenote, why does Denmark not get guaranteed by the allies if you are Germany?

When I played Estonia

I created way less tension then Germany does

And when I justified on Iceland so not even them

They guaranteed Denmark

But focus war goals count as justifications

So why does Denmark not get guaranteed

[thick vector]

Does the lack of weapons affect the battle?

[trim plume]

big beautiful slovakia

bulgaria if you didn't join the axis maybe we coulda js let you stay as is

how did japan do this

[hidden gull]

Recommendations for the Czech second republic achievement?

[untold cove]

can you play as fascist germany without dripler?

@quaint anchorWdym

[hard depot]

What about the people who cannot afford a buck of chromium

[jade ore]

[lofty adder]

Hi

What is better on start

Make civil or military factories

🦘 🦘 🦘 🦘 🦘

[jade ore]

[lofty adder]

For example

For ussr and Germany what is better

[hard depot]

Lategame I mean

[lofty adder]

When war in 1939-1940

[jade ore]

oh yeah if you meant against your units you need to build anti air on your actual unit its not a building

[lofty adder]

5

[jade ore]

it should be very much helping against enemy bombing

[lapis snow]

only against strat bombing, does nothing against CAS

[hard depot]

You wanna swat annoying CAS fly?

Slap one cheap asl AA

and boom, problem solved

[lapis snow]

I'm not the one with the problem
