i think i am gonna quit hoi4 bro its so complicated
how did you attack them
i try to send my soldiers forward they dont go
wdym
if you are far supperior just battleplan and push the green arrow
ive had games on historical where japan capitulates china in early 39.. i dont think thats very historical
use big combat width units for battleplanning so u fill the combat width bc the ai doesnt coordonate with multiple divisions
also its 1942 and japan didnt attack usa
the chinese are so under equiped that I just use regular units
america if master killed mike tyson in ip man 3
and it works well
if japan doesnt struggle in china and / or wins the chinese war very early they never declare
they will also most likely declare on the ussr for some reason
oh well I kinda want them to declare
even if its historical
hello yalls
even though I am a puppet but the least integrated one so I can refuse call to war and do war of independence
not only is germany faar stronger than the ussr and they always win the war, but now japan will also go in on them
what is this bs bro
oh idk 1942 they are slower than ussual
they always win anyways
well probably just will take more time
although if the allies naval invade everywhere the germans can lose sometimes
how do people manage to get 400 factories as ussr before barbarossa starts
its just fascinating
i cant think of any way
Sea lion After sinking all of the British navy and the pride of the fleet?
❌get your navy destroyed by air particles
will this warscore be enough to get all of china wich is my core land
bye bye 5% of the american navy
Secondhand enjoyment had
Get that screening up tho
yeah im trying
but every day i lose like almost 20 destroyers
because the navy of america is like 4k
whilst mine is like at a mere 200
with carriers being the sup
being the main damage dealers
@quasi osprey how did you learn the game
trial and error
holding this js for my forces to arrive in time
china has fallen i now have to man in the high castle the united states
like when I lost 40 divs as usa in norway in an encirclement and realised oh maybe I shouldnt place 40 divs in several tiles and hope the supply will be enough to defend.
oh
it worked
bruh
yeah but
"I want to learn something complex in under half an hour"
english is not my first language i dont understand a single word the guy in the video says
its like studying an exam
That exactly how my first game in hoi4 startes
Back then
And Poland capturing Berlin
🤣
rah
azaajajajja
usually this doesn't go that well for new players but if you want to try and see what happens go ahead. Just don't expect to win
ok
europe mitel
jess
"I'm still standing" -Norway and Sweden
xd
how you do this
encircled the chinese capital
claims to be "middle europe", is missing two countries in the middle of europe
keiser germany with mili dictator then yk do a germany
shameful
take over ur neighbours
one, by, one
what the hell happened in europe
so close yet so far
I rn at war with kaiserredux Germany as Russia
worst enemies to loving union
If hilter could unite them then they aint the biggest
also this belgium is hella full of soldiers
I remember I once captured Italy, while playing as Switzerland
look at this
less realistic than the earth uniting under one flag
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SHIPS FOR THIS PLEASE CARRIERS DEAL A MASSIVE BLOW TO THE ENEMY 🙏
Now I realized that Poland can easily core Austria now if Czechs choose monarchist path
no way ur trying navy
as soon as I invent a time machine I'm going back to prevent the magyars ever settling in pannonia, hungary was a mistake
they are fleeing bro
W front lines
W navy
running out of manpower as manchukuo is strange
guys can we relax holy balls
wtf is a space marine division
and how to make one
I keep hearing about them
its actually quite smart
big infantry div with a high armor tank battalion
idea is the tank battalion provides armor and some extra stats above what can be achieved with inf or arty
normally, yeah
40k reference mumbo jumbo
it's just a way to cheese combat cheaply
then what do you call this (it worked against a massive slop of ai divisions)
WHAT THE HECKK
44*
mb
can i unbuy the game
And then USA declares war on you
Right?
so like
Just make a normal
9 inf 1 sup arti 1 engi and slap a tank in it?
wdym
what if I use mountaineers instead of infantry
If u mean pearl harbour then no I am qing china not japan
The idea is to make a bigger template that can attack more effectively, using it as a smaller defensive div kind of defeats the point
Oh
So I make a very wide division of inf battalions but throw in 1/2 tanks for armour
I could use them for spec ops divisions hmm
thanks uk for supporting my war crimes
if you're dead set on using them, yeah it gives you relatively cheap attacking divisions. But if you're a major it's just better to do proper attacking divisions
adding a mod that increases airforce range is sooo good
but it also gets you illegally touched by the enemy as well if you aint ready for them
boy lithuania has a bigger focus tree than i expect from them
I think I am like a medium to major country
I am medium at the start yeah
these sf's are sooo good
this is why you get a collab government bro
idk how to do that
Agency
operations in agency (don't mind the fact that im spying on luxembourg im js afraid of them)
Yeah 9 inf 9 SPG is a very good division. Mech isn't really mandatory unless you're doing pvp or against extreme difficulty ai
ive js been soft attack maxxing
I play on normal but I am going against basically a country which is Germany and USSR combined ontop of me strengenthing them via game rules
I main purpose isn't to cap them tho
I want them to take over a continent
And then keep killing their divisions until there's no more
Well later on you can convert to 9 mech 9 SPG but in the beginning. 9 inf 9 SPG is good enough
or use pseudo division reinforcement
how do i expand the fat ugly range
supply bases already do that but can i do that without em
Guys
idk all that I am just a tank designer nerd
You shall be scared I played it yesterday and I was the only European non axis country at war to survive without capitulation
And I use only 3 main divisions which I modify most runs
What fascist Australian path would look like, when it will be added 🤔
Everyone will listen to My Chemical Romance because the emo birds take over the world
its still too far away how do i get closer to america
There's an exploit with division templates that allows you to train ghost divisions without losing equipment and you can also turn them into your real divisions without losing exp as long as you have all the main div equipment ready. I only saw it in a Chinese video
Uhhhhh I am just gonna stick with playing the game normally
Only use capital ships and cruisers in one of the task forces so they can reach usa
Also conquer Hawaii first
tno finally updated to 1.17
So? What do you think the cruisers are for
lacking?
They're for screening
can i play without any tutorials
like i choose germany
then i just play by myself
i dont try any tutorial
You could try
You’ll need to do a bit of reading
has anyone achieved it
I’m sure they have
is regular the easiest
try hovering over each option
it will tell you what they do
on the main menu
it's still the Italy one, gives you a couple of mechanical walkthroughs
very much not thorough
so i have to watch a video to
omgg
how do i declare war
i will declare war on poland xd
either through focus or justifying, which costs political power to do
i found a 5 min tutorial
😨
time to redo germany on iron man mode
I dont think I will be able to hold
how am I still holding
qing
problem is rn I dont have enough divs to guard the ports
kill korea
trying to
as soon as the us pumps a lot of their divs to my land the japanese are cooked
I hope usa does that at least
because the japanese dont have much on my border for now
ypu know, the actual good way to get independent and strong easily
is to go the path of cooperation with Japan
then go the two emperors
and lend lease convoys from everyone else
and send them to Japan
to get independent
meanwhile you help Japan kill china
and they just give you everything in the peace deal because you have cores
after the peace deal you will have double Japan's eco
oh ok
well I have an ok economy for now enough to hold my borders
holy tuff map
how did patton fumble this hard 
they were stronger than the psa in all ways and had a larger army and somehow still lost
I lost
fixed it
Been playing with the Baltics lately. Trying to oppose Germany when they try to reassert eastern claims.
I've got armored trains. 10 state aa guns, and AA in all divisions in port. I've gotta figure out just how i'm gonna increase the punch of my divisions without using artillery. Of course, without running out of gas doing it. Which is hard because that has to be imported and im not working with stalin.
do civil wars usually last 2 years 🥺
Check how long the Spanish civil war lasted IRL. It was not short.
🤔
why not
no its
1941 and im still in
the polish civil war
🤔
ok i just
suck
i think
That one is a preparation fail or a massive skill issue. Polish Civil should either not happen or last all of 3 if not 4 months at the most.
Unless you're farming yourself for XP.
this frontline fascinates me
you can see where their good units are
by the significant red
yep
the funny thing is i got to berlin before minsk
hello yalls
now i have to deal with big communist
this is actually
the most balanced switzerland ever
if they js spammed forts
until they are all level 10
it would take 91293129312 years
for italy and germany to even unite
hi guys im new to hoi4
hello new to hoi4
can we skin you alive using assault engineers
im still figuring out how to play right now
kinda complicated
wow
is this an ok amount of guns produced by manchukuo
who u playing as
onion
yep i cant be bothered no more
u might be missing like 100k guns
Are armored cars gas guzzlers or should i bite a bullet and make tanks with fuel tanks on them?
hehe
its worse
ok now check ur manpower losses
huge encirclement potential in there
nearly 6
push using tanks
im trying so hard
MILLION?
yep
hello
dawg what the hell are you doing
can you uuuuh like turn south
😟
hehe
What
i learned hoi4 by js playing it
i would reccommend it
once i had 9 million in rise of radicalism
soviet vs turkestan
demir sen turkmusn
bruh what
yes
evet
i played hoi4
when i have questions i searched it
i played indefinetly
o zaman tutorial yap
ediyorlar heralde ama cok yavaslar
tutorial yapiom .d
italyayim
40dk lik video izledm ise yaramadi
bende Türküm
yo this is english only server
that's ok mate 
oq
the allies somehow made a more or less accurate peace deal
which country should i choose
Yes
Russian federation
is it easy to conquer countries as russia
world war (don't mind me zooming into sudan i was busy trying to commit vile acts of treason against humanity)
What
the communist had to do sum stupid thing
and not give me a small colony of islands
so i had to teach em a lesson and obliterate them
How about
what?
How about Russia
its fine
it actually worked in my favor
instead of egypt joining the UOB
they joined the bigmintern
pls help
💀
who are these people bro
USA
annex hungary?
well like I said more or less
its not somehow
its the Yalta conference
what nation are you?
a lot of the times poland is in the allies and other stuff as well
qing
ah well i thought u were ussr thats why i asked
can someone teach me this game
😂 this is all I could afford to take in the peace deal
this is peak
What about
yeah I was a bit occupied by some things...
that like america and panama
huh?
as you have that little part of germany america has that little part of panama
What about SS
ooh now I get it
hello can someone tell me what the historical way is in the czech focus tree?
with the new dlc
is this an ok industry for manchukuo
we had some funny business
is this supposed to be a coup or a civil war or something
appease germans mostly, let them get what they want
what nation shuold i play when im new to the game
the worm keeps getting longer
italy or german reich
no i mean the name of the focus in the focus tree
historicals focuses would have flags behind the logo
no supplies?
i dunno man
🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇵🇱
the indian fracture treaty
where pakistan
unstoppable fortress
nepal showed some restraint 🙏
aah so peaceful over here
what is the difference between normal china and qing china
whos gonna win
nepal or tibet
who has the better 0 manpower buff
why is the UOB focusing on midgets
(ignore the elephant)
qing china is from manchukuo
🤔
china vs china but special ed
how did you get a manchukuo china if japan lost the war?
what
manchukuo is a starting nation
🤔
you
fight japan first
then reunify china
aint they a puppet of japan?
tibet has tibetan monks
it was over for nepal the moment the fighting started
how can puppet remain if master is gone
they trained batman you know
theres a focus
which makes you independent
without fighting japan?
yeah but nepal has the nepalese gen z revolutionaries
and makes japan declare on you
oh
they dont join the war
its a cheese tactic i use to keep the usa away from australia
dont you get puppet's land too when you capitulate a master?
even if they dont join the war
only if they're in the war
the french has expanded their territory and now the nepalese are fighting for control over big india
learning something new everyday
so in that case, puppets become winner's puppets or they become independent?
Yo is there a way to not lose to yugoslavia as Italy
try having a frontline + naval invading
Independent id say
destroy america
small sidequest
js to manage yugoslavia
nonchalant triumphant will focus
HOW DO I NAVAL INVADE EVRRY TIME I TRY IT JST DOESNT WORK THAN GERMANY CUTD ME OFF MY TROOPS ENCIRCLED AND IM DEAD
why would big dripler cut you off
I forgot join axis
you need one man
then thats big h's fault bro
axis or anglo italian pact
And also Croatia declares independent each time and it's annoying I dont get the land
do a jd vance or sum
let yugoslavs finish croatia by themselves
they sometimes do that
It only happens the second I declare war
its auto regardless
declare war, draw frontline and wait until croatia capitulates, then strike them
Fine
guys what do i do with india
should i split it between nepal and tibet
and bhutan
or
Or just don't be silly and destroy yugo before germany can get involved...
but that wouldnt prevent croatia from being independent
you get half their land for free through decisions anyway
This rng is just stupid, why can Poland reject the confederation WHEN IT IS MY PUPPET
"italia demands dalmatia"
"they are fools for suggesting that"
"italy changes diplomatic status with us: declare war"
who does this
Army doesn't seem to affect the chance in the code
i reject anything italy offers to me as german reich except tripatite pact
Oh wait, you're talking about Italy
Yeah, army does affect that
but the fella you replied to was playing as italy
well yes but i said that after suggesting a solution to them
i was just yapping about my own playstyle
guys lets js bomb germany
call in everyone ever
and form the germany must die coalition
the solution is to use the italian decisions that give you yugo for free and forget the germans completely
cant you take all of it for yourself?
you take the entire coast and puppet them
maybe if you pushed their autonomy down
i like annexing everything in peace conferences
bomb
depends which formable you're aiming for I guess
greater germanic reich
frick puppeting all my homies have 2 million manpower in garrisons
your homies are mentally incapable of seeing the potential frontline slop for you to use
it was a meme
yeah ik
i mean i do puppet half of soviet union to not mess with japans
but thats it
i like painting the map same color
chat im blessed with another q episode in star trek
Loss?
I II
II I_
bro
i can't defeat germany
and germany cant defeat me
kaiserredux germany
that have capitulated western front already
btw
hello i want to learn how to play this game
welcome to hell
i need to bring back latvia to power
you must help me and teach me
just unite baltics and go from there
prefferably fascist if you dont wanna deal with germany
i literlly dont know how to play this game and i want to learn
ussr is easy to deal with
chat whats the good phillipines path?

Didn't played it
Now that I learned about Space Marine divisions all I can think about in my head is me sending a tank to my division and then taking it apart and making Power Armour for themselves
pretty short for this game tbh
grow an attention span like a normal human being
i cant listen that long and i am not very good at english so sometimes i dont understan video
tiktoks fault fr
are there captions available in your language?
imagine listening to a hoi4 guide but it is in french
anything specific you want to learn?
sounds like a nightmare
no unfortunately i dont think
uhh
exactly
thats what i am feeling like
i need to learn
i declared war on poland
one time
tHE SOLDIERS
THEY DONT MOVE
like the basics
how to make soldiers move
did you click the arrow?
how to get generals
i did
i will look for more videos
hopefuly i will get better at the game
then you didnt assign divisions to the order
"help me use the mouse buttons and click stuff" Man this is just a you problem
wha
mouse over buttons for tooltips that explain stuff
then do it
we can't play it for you
i dont understnad
understand
I hate Germany in my game rn
he means that if you hover your mouse over something it usually says what it does
I literally at war with most of Europe
ok thank you
without guide?
not really
With guides
come on now
its 1k hour with guide?
you can be an above average player in 100 hours
bismillah rahmanirahim
u can learn it pretty quick, only major thing is using correct templates
and maybe not attacking when you are in deficit a lot
%10 learning basics and systems of the game
%90 learning navy
this game is harder than math
navy is not complicated, people just suck at reading
I learnt navy
BUT THEY REWORKED THE DAMN NAVY
Now there mods, that introduces economy mechanics
nah i was just referring to the memes
what
rework is good for those who dont know about navy
This game have very hard mods
it sucks for old schools tho
yes
the rework: instead of spamming max soft attack cl's you spam torpedo dd's
not that deep
Tbh I already did that
But now idk what the new navy buttons do
I don't understand how navy works, but somehow I can use it
Properly
No no not that
I don't get what button does what now
wdym?
What button do I click to make my navy actually do shit
There's 3 new buttons for the navy
Some plus minus neutral stuff
nothing changed except the naval bases
Guys
So what am I supposed to do the plus minus buttons
plus patrol neutral strike force minus conovy raiding
Im planning on getting victoria 3 since its on sale but is it also basically unplayable (like hoi4) without DLC's?
is there hack for this game
idk which other icons you could mean
Bruh
ok
I used console commands to learn about different stuff in the game before I started playing normally
google it
okey
It's literally on the wiki
which other icons?
None other
Those 3 only
but in the task force missions or where?
Idk what you're talking about
I got what I wanted to know
bye europe hello monsters of the damned
zombies?
zombies in hoi4
turkish empire?
it's only those missions and about what they generate
that something new

- you build war machines and equipment with military factories
- you build/repair ships with military dockyards
- you supply ships and units with ports

KX RF crossover episode
why would i
i have schoool no job
im still in school
you have school
Today we will teach you all you need to know about your industry and construction in Hearts of iron IV. You'll (hopefully) learn why civillian factories are king, how they differ from military factories, why consumer goods suck, how to grow and improve your economy and what all the various buildings are for. I hope you like it!
Research Guide: ...
how you play 5 hour
200-300
weekend
you should be pro
wow
you should try football
its very nice sport
take a ball and kick it with your foot
but do it outside
i dont think you understand the concept of #hoi4-general
I just got HOIV does anyone have any tips that can help dramatically?
check logistics tab regularly and make sure you have enough equipment at all times
this is the difference between operating divisions and useless divisions
Really stupid question potentionally, but how do I make sure I don’t run out of equipment? Again I have like 3 minutes so I don’t know anything just learning
lets say you have an infantry dominant army. you know you will need a lot of guns. same goes for tanks if you have a panzer dominant army, or trucks etc. so you put more military factories on equipment you need
capitulating other nations also grant you some access to their arms too but dont rely on these
Ohhh okay I get it, so basically not spam troops but make strong divisions
you can spam troops during peace time
but try having stronger ones before declaring war
Is ai good on this game? And will they attack me first or do they just wait until I attack?
that depends
i dont have any comments on ai but
ai can declare war on you depending on some conditions
It isn't completely passive, but it's not that smart either
it will do it's own thing, but you can outsmart it most of the time
for example, if a nation is guaranteeing someone else's independency, they will attack you when you declare war at said nation
Oh alright, I’ll probably play as Albania and go for Yugoslavia when the time is right. I need a couple of yt tutorials first how to move soldiers ect once I got the basics I should he able to get Yugoslavia
just play with historical turned on, that way things are more predictable as it mostly follows history
do not do this
albania gets eaten by italy in 1938
albania is very weak against yugoslavia
Heard it’s very hard to play Albania
try going with a major nation
it is
like reich, italy, uk, soviets
albania is one of the weakest in europe
Fr? Because that wasn’t the case between 1944-1985
yes
Or does the game not account the troops Albania had at that time?
its not about troops
yikes the zombies appeared in the middle east now
how are they spreading so damn fast
you can have millions of men to throw at the front which albania doesnt have, if enemy has technical superiority which italy do have against albania, you are cooked
Albania has no unique content, a tiny population compared with it's neighbours and is expected to not exist or become a vassal very early in the game. It doesn't care about what it was like after occupation
Oh dang, I was thinking it would be quite powerful after it becomes independent from nazi Germany as we had like 800 tanks and thousents of armored vehicles and 750k bunkers and around 80k active personnel and 1m reserve but I guess the game doesn’t account that
Any recommendations what country I should play then as a beginner?
try these
hoi4 doesnt reflect reality, its just a game
I personally recommend small support nations like Canada or Romania since you can't really "lose"
at least not on historical
Yeah makes sense
you can try and find your perfect playstyle
Kind of disappointed tho I was lowkey excited to play Albania
but high risk if you mess it up. Hence every single day someone comes here asking how to do sea lion or barb
i stll ask how to do sea lion
you can after you properly learn how to play
you expected a WWII game to represent post-war albania?
Did the NCNS add-on get fixed or no? Anyone know 1st hand?
Well yea Albania had a huge army and defensive capability in ww2
tf does that mean?
in ww2 or after
game begins in 1936
38 if you feel fancy
EU4 is the Albania power fantasy game tbh. Skanderbeg dunking on the Osmans
Ah right yeah he came into power in 1944
good luck becoming a super power from scratch in 1944
I mean Albania had to rebuild in 1944 but I’m not expecting the game to do all that for a small country
lol. The No Compromise No Surrender DLC was plagued at release with bugs that 'broke' naval mechanics.
I wonder if that's been rectified.
i understand how you feel
i jumped at turkey when i first started the game
its not a good place to start
learn the game, then you can play with nationalist fantasies
Thing is I don’t wanna play huge and easy countries yk, idk if that’s even a thing in this game tho
Idk, you could read the patch notes on steam. I'm aware that there were some changes with subs that were controversial and the AI had to be re-taught some stuff
it seems to work
Idk if there’s “ easy “ countries in this game
huge countries are not easy at all
try winning ww2 as any major world power
allies and axis, both of them are hard in their own ways
what country should i play
So you have 1st hand knowledge?
