[untold cove]

[tired bough]

Yeah makes sense, I didn’t buy the game so I know nothing tbh but it does seem like a good game and I’m willing to learn. So far I tried Albania but nothing was happening for years ngl and I had no idea what I was doing I need to watch some tutorials

[lapis snow]

I've played the game and used ships, yes. Whether you'd be satisfied I don't know

[whole matrix]

italy is borning

i played all majors

in game

already

[untold cove]

[tired bough]

Try Albania 😭

[untold cove]

balkans are NOT for beginners

[digital tulip]

ofc. I appreciate your input.

[runic ferry]

i got hoi4 2 days ago

[lost dawn]

1939. A good a start as any.

[tired bough]

After you take a country do you keep it forever?

[untold cove]

byzantine empire in 1939 is wild

[untold cove]

as long as that play session

[lost dawn]

How come?

[untold cove]

i dont know i thought it would take longer

i never played greece

[tired bough]

Wdym

[lost dawn]

We grinding for the Empire of the Romans

[untold cove]

i grind for the fascist turkey path

good luck with yours tho

[untold cove]

you start as reich, you play as reich until you start a new game

or get capitulated

[runic ferry]

ima see if i can form austria hungary in 1936

[atomic grove]

u gave eastern poland to russia but that one state in the carpathians wasnt included

why is that

giving away eastern poland should also give that state as well

did u use the console?

[runic ferry]

idk, but now poland has a dingle 🤤

current situation on the same map

[whole matrix]

Time to capture world as Netherlands

[olive drum]

Is this good?

[runic ferry]

i once joined the axis as the netherlands

formed the dutch rijk

[rain loom]

time to play germany and have "fun"

[untold cove]

[whole matrix]

I gonna defeat Germany

I don't need German help

[modest path]

[untold cove]

[modest path]

[quasi osprey]

[untold cove]

[cold mist]

yes

[runic ferry]

zayum

[quasi osprey]

how desperate are they...

[cold mist]

should i try actually getting achievements (i only have the free dlcs)

[untold cove]

nah man i was just curious

[tulip thorn]

💀

[ripe slate]

I got a bunch when mods break between updates

[untold cove]

im taking that one back

[tulip thorn]

I almost never play vanilla no matter what

Im still waiting for the last mod in my pack to be updated

I dislike vanilla overall

[cold mist]

ok ill get achievements

be right back

[tulip thorn]

Why

[untold cove]

i want to try every nation before i mod the game

[cold mist]

idk

it looks bad and horrible and larp

[untold cove]

tf is wrong with me i cant text at all

gotta play some hoi4

[tulip thorn]

I only have like 2 achivements that arent just free

[ripe slate]

I see I cheated a few achievements back in 2021 because I couldnt be bothered xD

[tulip thorn]

damn

Not a step back was pretty fun

[untold cove]

less than 1 million soviet achievement is CRAZY

how did you do that

[fair horizon]

how does nz have 20 divs and i cant field more than 10 as australia

[tulip thorn]

That ones easy

Literally free

[untold cove]

what do you mean its free

[tulip thorn]

Its pretty easy to get

[untold cove]

well it is a skill issue then

[stark elbow]

not a step back surely is a challenge for me

[tulip thorn]

I just spammed a huge amount of 16w infantry with good support companies

And battleplanned with like 48 heavy tank divs lmao

[stark elbow]

what are the best support companies?

[whole matrix]

I'm playing as based Netherlands

[tulip thorn]

There are quite a few

Cant really name them all off the top of my head

[untold cove]

engineers are a good place to start

[tulip thorn]

Support anti air and radio are really good for defense

[fair horizon]

wait did they not keep the modules not costing resources things for ships?

[tulip thorn]

Ehhhhh

[untold cove]

dont you like the entrenchment bonus?

[stark elbow]

never used radio, i usually went with engineers, support arti, support anti air

[tulip thorn]

Yeah but like

There are better options

[untold cove]

superior firepower player is alone once again

[stark elbow]

i have no idea on how to defeat germany without loosing millions of manpower and hoping the allies to attack normandy

[tulip thorn]

Dont attack with infantry

[winged field]

Bigger div = more hp = less loses

[tulip thorn]

Yes but you also need to balance it with combat width

[winged field]

35-36 ish is good

[untold cove]

60 combat width division be like

[winged field]

Around 500 hp

Which is great

[rain loom]

what polska path should i do

[stark elbow]

thats the point, and furthermore, i tried with tanks, but if i wait to build tanks with 70-80 soft damage, at the start of the war i'll find myself only with 24 divisions of 700 soft damage tanks

[rain loom]

since polska number 1

[winged field]

As what country?

[stark elbow]

ussr

[winged field]

Do you micro tanks?

[untold cove]

fascist

always go fascist

[winged field]

You should probably

[untold cove]

once you go fascist you never go back

[rain loom]

oh god

[untold cove]

or smthn

[stark elbow]

never did actually

[winged field]

You kinda want to cuz if they decide to fight in anything but plains they will suffer

[untold cove]

you can be a satellite for a while, then rise with tons of new territories

[winged field]

That saying you don't need to use tanks to deal with Germany

[rain loom]

i think ive done that before

not sure tho

[winged field]

But since you are using them u want to micro

[eternal aspen]

Good morning

[rain loom]

good afternoon

[eternal aspen]

Lmao I js realized it aint exactly good for me

[rain loom]

[stark elbow]

does a good air fill the gap that tanks could've given me?

[hard depot]

@snow rain Question: Are Horses kringe?

[eternal aspen]

Does the Horse in HOI4 signify kringe?

[eternal aspen]

And now i need to basically great purge everything i own back to having ko OS

[winged field]

If you CAS them to hell sure.

[rain loom]

horse in hoi4 signifies polska, which is chad

[hard depot]

I will do USSR Horses only in HOI4

[rain loom]

[tulip thorn]

Cavalry is pretty bad for attacking

[winged field]

Civ greed to 38 is enough ig.

[west jungle]

Why isn’t anyone hosting 🫩

[rain loom]

i can barely play ussr as it is

[tulip thorn]

There are a few nations with good buffs that can help alot

[winged field]

Cheers

[rain loom]

ah

[hard depot]

And you also get a ton of Cavalry divisions as base

[untold cove]

try steel cavalry

light tanks and armored cars

[hard depot]

I will say this: Trucks are kringe.

Horses are based.

[winged field]

Armored cars 😭

[hard depot]

Who even uses that scrap metal

[untold cove]

dont you dare insulting my beloved sonderkraftfahrzeug 222

[winged field]

A guy running on a bicycle is more useful than armored car

[hard depot]

Armored cars when I introduce this funni thing called: Anti-tank rifle.

[low dock]

Who dares to challenge german reich?

[untold cove]

yall laugh all you want

[fair horizon]

as it should be

[untold cove]

i still like armored cars

[winged field]

Don't even need that. They will get pierced by aa

[tulip thorn]

Speed meme

[winged field]

They are fine for meme build

[tulip thorn]

Thats it

[misty fossil]

armoured cars when a dude with a molotov cocktail shows up

[untold cove]

did...did you invade france through maginot line?

[misty fossil]

hell even a 14.5mm

[misty fossil]

its easy

[low dock]

Hell no

Paradrop

[misty fossil]

just make the right tank division, then use siege artillery commander ability, cas and railway bombardment

boom

[low dock]

Who should I invade usa or soviets?

[untold cove]

why would you not invade netherlands and belgium bro

USA would probably be easier

so go for soviets

[misty fossil]

its about sending a message

[low dock]

Paradrop is easiest cuz with few clicks u can win

[untold cove]

bro didnt even concerned himself with reichkommissariats

[misty fossil]

usa first

[hard depot]

I did some...

Modifications

[low dock]

Bet wait a min

[untold cove]

scheiße its nato symbols again

[winged field]

Bro wanted to penetrate that Maginot line to hell 😭

[misty fossil]

least confusing division design

[safe wing]

German empire has better formable puppets than Nazi germany

For one big reason

[hard depot]

I cannot escape NATO larp

I need to inject more larp

[safe wing]

The puppets they have get cores on their own territory unlike the rk

[untold cove]

i cant read them bro

[winged field]

Bros div is:⬜🔳

[hard depot]

it's ez.

[untold cove]

its just dots and crosses

[hard depot]

There's a base

Then a sub-base

[untold cove]

i know how they work

im just not used to it

[hard depot]

The X with a Circle?

Mechanized

[untold cove]

mechanized

damn

[hard depot]

The Black Bar, with Circle and a Dot in the middle is Medium SPG

If there's a dot in the middle, like ONE dot

[untold cove]

i kind of understand what is what from division design

[hard depot]

It's artillery

[untold cove]

so you have both spg and artillery

[rain loom]

i have an image which can scare any hoi4 player

[untold cove]

[low dock]

Im just gonna annext checking first

Checkia

[rain loom]

czechia?

[hard depot]

nah screw the fascist hungary

We boutta do democratic hungary

[low dock]

Ye

I had to kill feance britian and america

France

[grizzled zenith]

And that's the most cores Czechoslovakia can get on historical(Slavic Union+Austria-Hungary)

Technically it's possible to core the whole world with the bug where Slovakia cores everything it owns after the Munich conference but that's too complicated on historical

[ripe slate]

hm what bug you say?~

[grizzled zenith]

Don't gut Czechoslovakia like that

It was a fun game

[ripe slate]

I promise there will be more reachable cores in the next update

If you tell me the bug

[dry sleet]

eu?

[grizzled zenith]

There's a bug where Slovakia cores every state it owns when Munich Conference happens if Germany, Slovakia and Czechoslivakia exist(And I'm pretty sure Czechoslovakia needs to be in a Slovak core state)

[untold cove]

dont snitch man

[low dock]

Poland refused my ultimatum

Im confused

France and britan is dead

And america too!

[grizzled zenith]

And then Poland can do the Slavic Union to core every Slavic state(and every Slovak core counts as Slavic of course) and then you can do Polish-Czechoslovak Confederation

[ripe slate]

That I wouldnt consider a bug though

😛

Thats just a funny lil side effect

[untold cove]

if they trusted allies before you finished them off

[ripe slate]

Slovakia coring the world isnt intended though 💀

[untold cove]

there is no going back

[tulip thorn]

Are you sure

Seems about right to me

[ripe slate]

Rightful Dutch territory

[tulip thorn]

Everything is Albanian

[grizzled zenith]

Yeah, I don't care about coring the world
I still can core all of Europe if I form European Federation as Hungary, puppet it as Yugoslavia, complete unite the kingdoms(which cores puppet Hungary which is the EU) and then do the Slavic Union and Polish-Czechoslovak Confederation

That definitely isn't a bug

[untold cove]

i wish we could core everything

like when you hold a territory for 5 years straight, it becomes your core

[dry sleet]

Croatia should be able to get cores in every costal state in the world

[lapis snow]

based

[tulip thorn]

i agree with this

[grizzled zenith]

True

[grizzled zenith]

But Hungary coring Europe is

Actually I'll set Poland to go for Romanov and Yugoslavia for the dissolution path and will do just that

[grizzled zenith]

But that's on historical with Ironman(I don't think it's possible to get more on historical)

[grizzled zenith]

Btw how come I didn't get this achievement when I not only own but core all of Siberia

[steel zephyr]

🤑 second poland run, first run i forgot to deal with peasant thingy

[untold cove]

last train home was a good game

[ripe slate]

Check in-game

[serene breach]

loving this game

[lapis snow]

1984

[grizzled zenith]

I guess that's because I started as Poland and then switched to Czechoslovakia

[hard depot]

Cars are Krings

Horses are based

Today I will make the best Horse division

[grizzled zenith]

By the way, why isn't there a skip condition when Poland is your puppet for this focus?

[hard depot]

With flametonk ofc

[grizzled zenith]

Actually when the Fate of Czechoslovakia happens, not Munich Conference

[ripe slate]

There is now

📝

on my dev build that will be applied in a few days/weeks

[grizzled zenith]

Well I think I'll just turn communist and finish this game with a WC

[untold cove]

what is the difference between fascism and communism in terms of gameplay

[rain loom]

communism has liberated workers

facism does not

[untold cove]

so you have higher stability?

[rain loom]

i dunno

maybe

maybe not

[untold cove]

bro i dont care about workers i was talking about gameplay

[grizzled zenith]

Different army spirits, commusim has a liberated workers occupation law which agives the most factories out of any occupation law and fascism has brutal oppression, fascism has a buff to justification making most of them take just 10 days if you're at war with a major

[untold cove]

@rain loom sorry man i thought you were geniunely explaining what communism is

[grizzled zenith]

Communism has the spirit that gives 500 weekly manpower and fascism has loyalty to the state

[rain loom]

no7

[ripe slate]

Does communism still have that army spirit that dumps lots of manpower?

ah

[rain loom]

i was saying they have a garrison law called liberated workes

[grizzled zenith]

Yes

[rain loom]

where as facism did not

[grizzled zenith]

Is it not supposed to anymore?

[ripe slate]

Idk

[untold cove]

i should try playing as a communist nation today

[rain loom]

poland

[untold cove]

in my 200 something hours of gameplay, not a single communist regime

[rain loom]

in my 2000 something hours, i have never won

only lose

[lapis snow]

impressive

[rain loom]

i am very bad

trust

[untold cove]

in the grimdark of the future...there is only war

[lapis snow]

I'd say it actually takes a particular avoidance of learning to never win in 2k hours

[plush spade]

In my 2 minutes of gameplay I have no idea what’s going on

[rain loom]

trust me

ive tried

and failed

so many times

[lapis snow]

normal

[rain loom]

its funny

[lapis snow]

I'm concerned, perhaps you should be studied

[rain loom]

maybe]

well

idk

[tame copper]

Is there any mod that represents anarchism a bit better then base game

[untold cove]

play and learn

its the most effective method

you will fail a lot but youll get there

[tame copper]

Bc it's genuinely so bad

[untold cove]

there is anarchism in the base game?

[lapis snow]

most of the big alt-his mods handle it better as they have greatly expanded ideology rosters

[lapis snow]

in spain

[tame copper]

Nice

[untold cove]

i thought they were non aligned

[tame copper]

And technically in Ethiopia

[tame copper]

It's a sub-ideology of non-aligned

[untold cove]

damn i didnt know we had those

[tame copper]

But you lose all cool stuff when African union

[lapis snow]

It's a side effect of the ideology system in hoi4 actually being a faction alignment system from hoi3 that got left behind

[tame copper]

Well actually it's just visual stuff but whatever

[rain loom]

it might be the fact im like 2 milliseconds old but sure, lets blame it on game knoledge

[lapis snow]

I'm not even going to ask. I'm assuming from the screenshots that you can play the game to a certain level but rely far too heavily on just battleplanning your armies and don't take time to manage things as they occur. So the game runs away from your ability to manage it

[rain loom]

that was the one time i got to 1945 as onion and i just gave up and couldnt be asked, ive done better other times tho

my game runs at -1fps so i couldnt be bothered

[lapis snow]

fella played as an onion, ok

[rain loom]

yep

[lapis snow]

getting to 1945 is normally not necessary unless doing specific achievements

all the major wars can be won before then

[rain loom]

i was just being useless idk

had a ton of factories

good tanks

but still had to pull back

well it dont matter

i have a japan game going

lets see if i fumble china

[lapis snow]

To pdx's credit they successfully made china kinda historical in that their army sucks bawls but they can just keep retreating deeper into supply hell until the japanese lose

[rain loom]

yea

lets see

[untold cove]

how can i increase compliance in occupied territories?

[steel zephyr]

uh oh

[lost dawn]

I've set up a little trap for the allies

My mountaineers will crush them the moment they land

[elfin igloo]

Cyprus?

[lost dawn]

My fleet died

So I do not have Cyprus yet

Well... it is not 100 dead

But still heavily damaged

[elfin igloo]

i found funny that the little division icon had Cyprus silhouette in it

[lost dawn]

It's a wolf

[elfin igloo]

looks quite complex, i forget im basically a beginner in ts game

[elfin igloo]

oh lol my bad, i must be quite blind

[serene breach]

still after this they cant naval invade uk in 1954

[severe lion]

it doesnt open the menu for confirmation iykwim

[steel zephyr]

[lapis snow]

look at those mods and the icons next to them, then think a little and decide which one is probably generating a UI problem

then test it

[severe lion]

ive turned off all except show construction speed

[rain loom]

i need to get the beginners guide back

[severe lion]

it still happened

[rain loom]

ive become so bad

[severe lion]

imma try turning it off too

[woeful knoll]

Why do you have the romanian king but your not romania poland?

[severe lion]

how do u achieve ts

old screenshot

germany got danzig without asking somehow

[severe lion]

except kaiserredux

[serene breach]

bro why AI keep reviving czechia or ukraine

[grizzled zenith]

How do I get more faction influence?

I could take over the allies if I get their faction manifesto below 35% and get the most faction influence

[serene breach]

finnally

[grizzled zenith]

How tf does my puppet China have 80% influence in a faction I just created

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I forgot about supervised states

I hate them so much

Oh, and I can't prepare collabs

I was starting to forget why democracy is the worst ideology in the game

[radiant bone]

taking on Lithuania as Danzig, "huuuge" naval battle

[late wharf]

Wait... as DANZIG?

[radiant bone]

yeah hahaha, its been pretty fun, I didn't expect to get this far

[grizzled yarrow]

bro why did czechoslovakia get such a big glow up

wheres the romania rework that was promised 50000000000000 years ago

[woeful knoll]

Because paradox hq has a giant wheel they spin to decide the next dlc

[woeful knoll]

[radiant bone]

nothing too crazy

[grizzled yarrow]

Does anyone know how to make your own mods in game?

[grizzled zenith]

No, but there are other mods that are set in 2020

[broken sparrow]

Like?

[grizzled zenith]

The fire rises

YES I AM COMMUNIST

Now I can invade the Allies

Democracy sucks

[ripe slate]

Your faction name doesnt lie

[rain loom]

we are so back

killed china in may 1938

[eternal timber]

i despise china it is the worst country in hoi4 i hate it i hate it

[rain loom]

wow

[tired bough]

bro im genuinely stuck for an hour here i have no idea what to do or what im looking at

[fallen garnet]

are field hospitals worth it?

[untold cove]

depends on your casualties

and manpower reserves

[dry sleet]

1st tech not so much, 2nd is better, 3rd pretty damn good to save manpower (and the xp loss reduction is a nice bonus)
Also field hospital + heli brigade can get ridiculous amount of trickleback late game, with the right spirits you can even exceed 100%

[winged field]

for big div yes

for small div not really

[fallen garnet]

so it would be quite worth it for countries like sweden with low manpower?

I just always added them blindly and never really thought about it

[tired bough]

bro how is anyone supposed to figure this out

[dry sleet]

it's good for countries that tend to run out of manpower due to losses, can be even germany if you lose 10M men in barbarossa 😛

[quasi osprey]

vive la france

[fallen garnet]

well is there a way for countries with generally low manpower to kind of play around that?

[winged field]

not the baguette people

[quasi osprey]

the baguets seem to work well against germany

[copper nymph]

W

[winged field]

the forbiden 2 week old baguette

harder than steel

[dry sleet]

allies minors can just shoot for an elite mechanized / tank army and suffer minimal manpower losses

when you have 80% hardness you don't lose many men

[tired bough]

ye im done with this shit

[atomic harbor]

cooking so hard

(hitler speech bubble)

i already took moscow, didnt yet reach stalingrad

[limpid zenith]

[dawn mango]

[atomic harbor]

😭

that gotta be a joke

[viscid mason]

It's fake. I checked the actual patch notes.

[night lintel]

[eager geyser]

[queen torrent]

why is teh new czech focus tree so ugly

[night lintel]

[queen torrent]

the austro hungarian tree covers half of the economic tree

[night lintel]

[queen torrent]

[queen torrent]

RON in teh big 26

[feral ruin]

is there a proper way to go down the us communist branch without going communist and without starting a civil war bc a lot of the stuff in here gives juicy bonuses and like the whole desegregation thing was historical(even if it happened after ww2)

[atomic harbor]

Did I make you proud?

[frozen lion]

very much

why does france exist tho?

[lost dawn]

Haven't had the time to deal with France

The Swedes made sure of that

They attacked my mighty empire.

And I struck back

[subtle tapir]

Guys
Taylor Swift sits down to play some HOI4.
What country is she playin’, and which focus is she takin’?

[amber finch]

she taking the world

[subtle tapir]

She would totally be unaligned UK

[lost dawn]

Communist United States

Probably.

[late trout]

hoi4 needs to give spain all these land as core territories because this is what the spanish empire held in its peak

[lost dawn]

This is not what the Spanish empire held in its peak.

[late trout]

yes it is dude

[lost dawn]

Probably all the lands that Spain has ever claimed or controlled.

[late trout]

no its what they actually held

[limber jackal]

he's joking btw

[late trout]

read a spanish history book

[lost dawn]

With some large changes.

[limber jackal]

zxknight is joking

[urban ivy]

buddy i got a great suggestion

[lost dawn]

I hope he is.

[urban ivy]

it s called eu4

[grave sonnet]

Bosnia should core the whole world

[urban ivy]

u can do that

[grave sonnet]

We had it once

All of it...

[lost dawn]

It would be concerning otherwise.

[limber jackal]

i doubt he thinks that spain was the largest empire in the world with like 30% of the world at its peak

[lost dawn]

I have a better suggestion. Greece should be able to reestablish the full Roman Empire.

Not just the Eastern Roman Empire

And core the entire empire aswell.

[urban ivy]

play eu4 and be free to do that

[limber jackal]

hear my suggestion

bulgaria should be able to core first bulgarian empire

[late trout]

no thats the romanians

[limber jackal]

and also the other bulgarian tribes

[late trout]

not greeks

[limber jackal]

that existed a while back

[late trout]

The roman empire was romanian

[lost dawn]

[late trout]

byzantium was greek

[limber jackal]

no

its albanian

[lost dawn]

Now I just know you are rage baiting

[grave sonnet]

Wasn't it Bosnian

[limber jackal]

seriously tho

[grave sonnet]

I'm pretty sure it's bosnian

[limber jackal]

bulgaria should be able to core first bulgarian empire

[grave sonnet]

True

[lost dawn]

Romania only has that name because they stole it from the proper owners of the name.

[ripe slate]

Welcome, you have to run Road to 56 and the bottom one at the same time

The Road to 56 RP cant run standalone

[grave sonnet]

They should be able to core Kyrgyzstan also

[late trout]

IF ANYONE WANTS THE PROOF FOR THE MOON PART BTW

[grave sonnet]

True

I was there when it happened

[lost dawn]

I do not like the Spanish Empire.

Good thing we defeated them during the 80 years war.

[late trout]

you can still say they had half of the moon though

[limber jackal]

so ur dutch?

How are you losing

[silver dawn]

and they always get bullied by germany and soviet union

i am not in war with the soviets

the map is kinda messed up

[stoic pendant]

fascist Guatemala new meta?

[slim idol]

If you wanna nuke them you have better chances launching from the nearest airports

[willow gull]

what mods do yall use to change the map color besides the FPS one

[stoic pendant]

i did this by releasing every nation and getting a expanded generic focus tree btw

[silver dawn]

i know but my air force is so strong it dosnt matter

i use to 80% jets

that are over powerd

they cost preaty much but i have enough factories and enough resources

[slim idol]

I take it you did left side economic tree then?

[silver dawn]

yes

[slim idol]

I don't see why people like right side

[silver dawn]

yeah same dude

i dont get it

[stoic pendant]

saving this for later

[silver dawn]

well gotta go afk

[slim idol]

It's basically choosing between
A: gradual but super economy
B: gamble whether you can invade enough nations in time before your economy dies

[cedar wasp]

anyone got a mp game going i could join

[stoic pendant]

b is only good for offensive players, and there is a limit to countrys you can invade

[slim idol]

It's not even good unless it's Singleplayer

[daring tangle]

I just downloaded the game, time to watch tutorial

[stoic pendant]

uninstall it

[silver dawn]

I like to let the soveits declear war on the allais, then they send all thair troops in to poland where my trap is already waiting for them and after that Europe is open for everyone

[daring tangle]

Bruh, why?

[stoic pendant]

good cheap unit?

[stoic pendant]

its hell

[stark elbow]

refund before its too late

[daring tangle]

Ik. I like hell

I'm a masochist.

Why else would I buy the game?

may god have mercy on your soul

Why don't we address the elephant in the room

80mil manpower

1500 factories

Do you even need to use air atp

[stoic pendant]

how is artillery bad 😭

[tulip thorn]

Cost, Combat width, hp and just lack of stats overall

[grizzled zenith]

I'm trying to push Africa and I was thinking I'd just put some air while I'm waiting for supply to build

[tulip thorn]

even with the japan dlc

Line artillery is just not good

[slim idol]

If ur gonna make a cheap unit, just have a block of inf and a couple support companies

[quasi osprey]

At least I guess nobody will have the chance to become a major power after this peace deal😅

[trail delta]

Ew

[wet summit]

First game with a major. Went fascist, joined axis, later japan declared war and i fought japan+china with germany and italy. I could now keep playing to try to take on the axis, but im way to week. Civil war took so long for me to win and im lacking alot in research and recruitment

[silver dawn]

Yeah XD

[quasi osprey]

Greece was actually very lucky to side with us

It fulfilled its dream

[trail delta]

Fair enough though

Time to get back to invading California and painting the map white

I wanna drop a nuke on San Francisco
