[vernal beacon]

and idek how the cost affects me

or should i go for heavy tank instead

please tell me how i fix this!

i dont understand this

[tribal frost]

put your navy on patrol

[vernal beacon]

there are some on patrol

[lost dawn]

Not this bug again

🥀

[tribal frost]

put navy on hold and do it again

remove regions

[lost dawn]

How does one fix this

🤷‍♂️

[icy egret]

why is it only 4km

[vernal beacon]

4km?

[icy egret]

yeah it’s max speed is only 4km

That’s walking speed

[vernal beacon]

oh that doesnt matter anymore

[icy egret]

One of your units is slowing it down

[vernal beacon]

look

i got them in a few minutes

[lost dawn]

The artillery is not motorized

?

[vernal beacon]

no thats just the tank i believe lol idk why

never had such a bad template

[icy egret]

Oh

yeah then add some infantry to it for org

[misty fossil]

The adriatic is blocked off by a naval chokepoint

You cant access it if you dont hold both sides

its the same as the bosporus or gibraltar

[misty fossil]

thats because only subs can go through contested chokepoints

Hover your mouse over the chokepoint icon in navy mapmode ans read the tooltip

[lost dawn]

Anything else

?

[wide osprey]

is there already any ai tool that can turn a black-white portait into hoi4 mega super cool style portrait

i mean

should be

[lost dawn]

AI can do quite a lot nowadays

[wide osprey]

hope it's free😟

[sudden thistle]

Support companies

[lost dawn]

Well yes

[winged field]

hospitals flame tanks wouldnt hurt

[lost dawn]

but it is 1938 and I do not have the Land warfare facility yet

[winged field]

then do rangers and hospitals

[heavy vigil]

get 1939 gun

bro

1936 gun, trash

useless

until you have gun, dont even think about using inf (well you can if the width isnt filled and stuff)

[sudden thistle]

Gonna guess u don’t fw 1936 gun battleplan

[lost dawn]

Help me get rid of this please

[heavy vigil]

its a bad idea

[sudden thistle]

Noob 🙄

[sudden thistle]

Get rid of what

The green/province mode ur on?

[lost dawn]

I do not have the provice/tile selected.

🥀

[sudden thistle]

Means u selected it last

[shell sorrel]

it's radioactive

[sudden thistle]

But just restart game if u want to or smth

[lost dawn]

Going to menu and back into the game does not fix it

You say restart the game entirely?

[lost dawn]

It's southern Italy

What were you expecting

[shell sorrel]

[sleek pollen]

uhh

[winged field]

all this bcs Ussr was holding one province that I need to core balkans 🥲

[sleek pollen]

besserabia?

[winged field]

almost, the coast of romania

so annoying fr

[sleek pollen]

yea but hey, u got the 3rd capital of rome :))

historical alt fr

[winged field]

not even, its historical 😭

just bum ai shanengians

[sleek pollen]

hmm, but to be honest it should been an easy job to capitulate the commintern compared to other faction

unleast theres another major country besides ussr

[winged field]

honestly its still harder than axis now bcs Germany runs on 100% consumer goods if you hold them for a bit

[misty fossil]

@ivory hull boyo what kx paths should i play

[winged field]

the annoying thing was me having too big frontline so I had to encircle them so many times

[misty fossil]

there's von ungarn sternberg and the weird accelerationist afro american path

[sleek pollen]

lmao yea but u got 8m manpower at ur disposable

[winged field]

rifles were problem mainly, those thing get consumed so fast even with 80 mils on it

[sleek pollen]

so ig u can just spam cheap template just to hold the frontline

[sleek pollen]

oof, ig that is a big of a problem

[winged field]

I dislike smaller divs so much, just bcs I love casualty ratio maxing xD

small divs have just too small hp

[sleek pollen]

casualty ratio?

[winged field]

like on the picture,, the casualty ratio is there 1:10. Its not bad but it could better

1mil loses to 10mil

[sleek pollen]

ohh i see, bleeding out the enemy?

[winged field]

I have 1:15 at the end but I could minmax more tbh

[winged field]

pretty much, for the sake of feeling that I have superior military xD

[sleek pollen]

yea understandable but u can put some hospital tho

[winged field]

dw got those

I could stack more hp with individual excelency doctrine but my go to is assault infantry, we love soft attack

[sleek pollen]

hahaha a 36width spamming that

[winged field]

pretty much

[sleek pollen]

sheessh what had become of ur logistic XD

[winged field]

thats the thing, with inf blocks like this you lose less guns than with smaller divs

logistics kinda overrated if you can manage supply lines

[sleek pollen]

fair enough but do use that as a offense rather than defence?

[winged field]

Both

18w later on are not enough

just too small stats

If you are not having air and spamming cav that saying

[ivory hull]

offense

for defense they arent the best

for defense use 18w

more org

[winged field]

ig but they are harder to push too

[ivory hull]

not really

might even be easier

because you can reinforce meme easier

happened to me yesterday

tried 36w to hold

just got memed

[sleek pollen]

oh, isnt that a bit resources intensive?

[winged field]

Im minmaxing casualty ratio so thats why I dont use them

we love hp stack

[ivory hull]

18w is still better for defense if you dont have like full cas

[winged field]

more hp = less loses=less equipment losses

[ivory hull]

a lot of minors cant get a full army of 36w tho

so they cant even fill the frontline

[sleek pollen]

no i mean producing those 36width

but ig i can see the benefits of producing it

[winged field]

slovakia btw (no cores in czech)

no need for full army

[ivory hull]

11 divs

if you have a big frontline

you need more

[winged field]

ofcourse

[winged field]

You only need 3 armies of these for world conquest btw

maybe 4 if you are niche

[sleek pollen]

3 armies? u dont mean 3 divisions right?

right?

[lost dawn]

Not bad for 1940.....

[winged field]

no like 3 armies, 72 divisions in total

[winged field]

SPQR?

[lost dawn]

Soon.

If I have my way

[winged field]

nice

[lost dawn]

It might even be grander than my first Rome

[sleek pollen]

ohh nice but i really doubt if it will do good in the african front

[winged field]

finally hungary getting back on trianon

[sleek pollen]

hungary sure is hungry

[winged field]

It works just keep up on supply hubs

if it worked in brazil and afghanistan it will work everywhere

[lost dawn]

I was going to eat Hungary... but since I was non-aligned and world tension was at 0%...

The playthrough got stuck

[sleek pollen]

yea but building those hubs one after another its a bit annoying

[lost dawn]

Now I will be trying it with mussolini

[winged field]

double motorization helps too

[winged field]

https://klipy.com/gifs/mussolini-serious--k01KRBCGH0RME1APBEJ3QR8NNJX

[sleek pollen]

0% hows that possible with that kind of expansion

[winged field]

Me on final exam xD

[lost dawn]

Well it was 1951.

world tension had returned to 0%

[sleek pollen]

damn, iont even know if i could last that long

[hard depot]

HOI4 Logic:

Support Arty: I sleep.

Line Arty: REAL SHIT.

[lost dawn]

I managed to achieve this before 1945

[hard depot]

Motorized Arty: EVEN MORE SHIT.

[sleek pollen]

i doubt about that

[winged field]

line arty would be cool if it hadnt so many downsides

[hard depot]

Yeah that's exactly my point

[sleek pollen]

the gore map is strong on this one

[winged field]

balancing issues in peak

[hard depot]

One has no downsides while the other has so many downsides I can't even question

[winged field]

something something best artillery - Napoleon at some point

[sleek pollen]

one time use only fr

[twin nebula]

isn't that just gonna retreat immeditately if you attack it

[hard depot]

It better be winning by one second otherwise it will lose one second

[sleek pollen]

not when u used the force attack commander skills

[winged field]

the goal of this div would be if they attack they have to do it quick since big soft attack but it still lacks breakthrough

so it would be questionable

[twin nebula]

Viable for Ussr meme game

[sleek pollen]

breakthrough? what if u build a tank template based mainly breakthrough?

[sleek pollen]

and combined those two

[grave phoenix]

https://klipy.com/gifs/magnifying-glass-gem--k01KRBCVMS7647E8GFSET80YXWQ

[winged field]

if you have too much breakthrough but shit attack stat it wont do much

[sudden thistle]

The good players don’t want u to know how good this is

[grave phoenix]

truke

thats what im gonna use in cc

[sleek pollen]

and thats where the artillery template comes in

[winged field]

ig soft attack spam is more viable than breakthrough spam so yea

[sleek pollen]

no i mean put all of em together in a single temple, split it in a half, the left side is artillery while the right side is the tank breakthrought

[hard depot]

Wait

[hollow knoll]

[grave phoenix]

nothing burgler of doom

[hard depot]

what the hell am I cooking

[grave phoenix]

thats good

break maxxed light tank instead of armored engi and its even better

or just remove aa and get green air

[sudden thistle]

Yeah

[hard depot]

I may have did Superheavy Artillery + Siege Artillery doctrine

[grave phoenix]

which is good

siege arty doctrine is insanely strong

u can even disable the superhavy arty and have it in the template, ur still gonna get the doctrine buffs

[winged field]

Not having hospitals there should be criminal

[grave phoenix]

hospital instead of signals and light recon instead of armored or aa

[hard depot]

John will walk fine, just give him morphine

Ive managed to win only once

Then got naval invaded by Italy again then lost

Ethiopia needs reworked

[uneven marlin]

It truly is, but it looks like the AI was able to do it (And also, Italy is trash, so... If you can survive the initial attack, then you're pretty much set for the rest of the game.

[haughty sail]

That's if

[uneven marlin]

And that's also an if that came true.

depends on the country

but kinda yea

[indigo elbow]

Im trying to learn the game playing as italy

i guess thats fine for italy?

[sleek pollen]

release all em as puppet

[terse skiff]

you might want to follow bittersteel's germany guide

[sleek pollen]

and when the war about to began, annex them one by one

[terse skiff]

you build mils starting 3.5 years before the war begins

[indigo elbow]

thbats basically instantly?

[terse skiff]

i mean italy kind of joins later?

also mussolini might give you missions

but yeah build mils 3.5 years before the war so unless you're usa/ussr you're building mils day1

also you might want to follow bittersteel's germany guide first

[sleek pollen]

build tons of torpedo destroyer and challenge the royal navy in the medi sea >:D

[indigo elbow]

Nah i legit dk how navy works yet

i just produce naval bombers and bomb the navy

and thats abt it

[sleek pollen]

bud its sooo freaking EASSYYY

lemme give u a tips

[ivory hull]

spam torpedo destroyers

[sleek pollen]

soo in dominationg ur way against the royal navy/us navy/imperial navy comes down into 1 BIGGG ARMADAAA

under the armada u got the scout forces and the main forces

scouting forces job is to locate the enemys ships while the main forces is to destroy them

under the scouting forces, u just need 4 light cruiser with tons of scouting plane

set them in NON-ENGAGES

while the main forces and since ur playing as Italy u have a pretty decent navy so just focus on spamming out those cheap destroyer

set the main forces on ALWAYS-ENGAGES

[frail kite]

Its 300 Pp per puppet

[sleek pollen]

if ur about to reach the 1500 pp limits, try to annex them one by one

only do that when uhh

tbh iont know the guides for frances :/

i only know about this cus an ai did this meta

the sheep mod i think

[frail kite]

first time playing france so dont know how the stragy work

was just told to make most puppets

[ivory hull]

in vanilla you dont even need all that min max

[sleek pollen]

@indigo elbow DOO THE NAVYVYYY

[frail kite]

i shouldnt have made them all puppets?

[ivory hull]

it doesnt matter but you dont need it in vanilla

[sleek pollen]

[lusty shuttle]

[topaz dove]

Unable them at the game launcher?

[lusty shuttle]

how

i deleted the other mods but it wont let me delete those

[sleek pollen]

or u can unsubscribe them on steam

[lusty shuttle]

i have cracked game

[topaz dove]

Ahh, that explains

[sleek pollen]

well u should delete the files on Mods

[sleek pollen]

C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV

[lusty shuttle]

bro i installed some mods and they fvcked my game up and now i cant delete the mod folder.I delete it,i open the game and the folder reappears

i deleted the documents and the files from steam and reinstalled and i have the same problem its crazy

[sleek pollen]

ohh, well ig the best advice i can do is reinstall it and delete all remaining hoi4 files in the system :p

[lusty shuttle]

i did that and nothing worked

im going crazy

[topaz dove]

What mod tho

[lusty shuttle]

but its ok because i dont play the game much

i have like 32 hours

millenium dawn

[sleek pollen]

can u open the launcher and unselect them there?

[lusty shuttle]

i put that mod and it kept crashing at loading and now i cant remove the file because is magically reappears even after i delete them

i had them at a playset and i deleted the playset and i put no mods to launch and it doesnt even launch

[sleek pollen]

why did u delete the playset itself?

[lusty shuttle]

to remove the mods

because they download

idk man im fgoing crazy

[sleek pollen]

can u send me screenshot on mod lib?

[cursive oxide]

how do i get big entend ? i need all of germany in my fation but i never get enouhge score

[sleek pollen]

try go to show folder and delete the mods there

[lusty shuttle]

ill try now

i cant there are no 3 dots

[sleek pollen]

wait lemme send the loc

[lusty shuttle]

these 2 in the mod file keep reappering even after deleting them 1000 times

[tulip thorn]

Un subscribe from them on the steam workshop

[sleek pollen]

did u let the download finished before deleting it?

[lusty shuttle]

the game is cracked

[lusty shuttle]

no i didnt

[sleek pollen]

try to let it finish first before deleting it, that might be the cause

[lusty shuttle]

ok but they will take hella time

[sleek pollen]

not like u have a choice tho

[lusty shuttle]

yeah ik

[sleek pollen]

btw, did u put the mod here? C:\Users\user\OneDrive\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Hearts of Iron IV\mod

Kaiserreich

[tulip thorn]

especially equestria at war

[lusty shuttle]

[grave sonnet]

Best mod is More Division icons

[hardy marlin]

equestria at war is the most overglazed piece of dogshit to ever befall hoi4

[tulip thorn]

Best mod is toolpack without the errors

https://tenor.com/view/mlp-my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-rarity-triggered-annoyed-gif-11000121389779681370

[grave sonnet]

I have never played the mod and I don't plan on touching it ever

[hardy marlin]

[grave sonnet]

Probably fascists paths & communist ones

[hardy marlin]

its so shit

[gentle briar]

what country?

[hardy marlin]

its JUST made for bronys

[grave sonnet]

Fascist Finland bro

[quiet yacht]

Communist italy for gaining african cores

[lusty shuttle]

is this true

[tulip thorn]

ok

[grave sonnet]

Thanks I'll make sure to never download it 👍🏼

[tulip thorn]

Doesnt make it bad

It has pretty decent content

but you can just hate it for the source material

that works aswell

[hardy marlin]

sonion

[tulip thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/sonion-gif-4370030053602687111

[hardy marlin]

not js mindless conquest

[hardy marlin]

come on bro

[tulip thorn]

I actually agree with this

[hardy marlin]

germany

lets be real

[lusty shuttle]

bro

[hardy marlin]

kaiserreich germany is the most advanced hoi4 country

[tulip thorn]

Why must you know

[grave sonnet]

I'll be honest I have a bias for China because I play it alot

[quiet yacht]

I play more kaiserredux than kaiserreich

[grave sonnet]

And I like China region.

[lusty shuttle]

because i must jknow everything

[grave sonnet]

So yeah that 1 kinda biased

[hardy marlin]

ive united china as EVERY country

including kumul khanate

[tulip thorn]

Well if you must know, I pretty much only play hoi4, bloons td 6 and stormworks

[hardy marlin]

SocDem kumul khanate at thata

[grave sonnet]

Same

I love china

China is love

[quiet yacht]

The graphic literally hurts

[grave sonnet]

One of the first mods I touched were red flood

[hardy marlin]

[grave sonnet]

I really liked the mod

[lusty shuttle]

[quiet yacht]

What about a new decent commie path for manchuria

[sleek pollen]

No compromise no surrender?

[hardy marlin]

[hardy marlin]

liangguang and yunnan are some of the most advanced hoi4 countries

[grave sonnet]

I'm talking bout kr

[hardy marlin]

[sleek pollen]

ohhh mb

[grave sonnet]

Yes

[tulip thorn]

Yes

[hardy marlin]

[lusty shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-nahh-no-way-lmao-what-is-bro-saying-gif-16249600181008158825

[tulip thorn]

no content for anyone else

[hardy marlin]

[tulip thorn]

Actually

[hardy marlin]

only using autonomy and factions

[grave sonnet]

Make all Nations just Chinese warlords 👍🏼

[hardy marlin]

[tulip thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/fluttershy-my-little-pony-mlp-fullbites-dance-gif-7203296672862296126

[grave sonnet]

Agreed

[sleek pollen]

tbh i really dont understand the fun on playing a post war WW1 germany victory, i mean whos the enemies

[grave sonnet]

[hardy marlin]

bro

[quiet yacht]

Still germany for europe

[hardy marlin]

JUST try kaiserreich

[quiet yacht]

Especially for russia

[hardy marlin]

js trust me on this one

[tulip thorn]

[hardy marlin]

savinkov russia is my favourite hoi4 path of all time

[lusty shuttle]

[hardy marlin]

and you like EaW

[tulip thorn]

I do

[lusty shuttle]

this is a general chat everyone can talk

[hardy marlin]

taking your opinions with a grain of salt

[quiet yacht]

Is in KR any soviet path for Russia?

[lusty shuttle]

u started somewhere too right?

[hardy marlin]

you can go socialist as russia and get bolsheviks in power

[tulip thorn]

I had more fun in kx

[hardy marlin]

not like OTL bolsheviks but zinoviev

[sleek pollen]

can i get stalin??

[hardy marlin]

no

[grave sonnet]

Kaiserreich best mod

[tulip thorn]

I was bad when I first played, but I could actually win lmao

[sleek pollen]

100% unplayable

[tulip thorn]

top 5 for sure

[hardy marlin]

stalin is in the argentina syndicalist state in patagonia

[grave sonnet]

Top 1 for sure

[hardy marlin]

he comes back to russia if the socialists come to power

but then he gets put under trial

[tulip thorn]

Nothing beats toolpack without the errors

[sleek pollen]

soo u can get stalin??

[hardy marlin]

hes a general

[lusty shuttle]

well i did everything i could so it must be a problem i dont knpw how to solve because im new

[quiet yacht]

How mant differences it have compared to kaiserredux

[hardy marlin]

everything son

[sleek pollen]

i want him to be the leader so i can enjoy my LARP to its fullest!!

[hardy marlin]

kaiserredux is schizo compared to kr

[grave sonnet]

Kaiserredux is just more content

[pine shale]

Can any1 explain how navy works

[hardy marlin]

kaiserredux is meant for schizo vanilla type gameplay

kaiserreich is for larp

[tulip thorn]

Kx is a worse mod than Kr

But I did have more fun with the crazy shit in kx

than I did in kr

[hardy marlin]

true

[lusty shuttle]

for example when i played as germany i conquered,poland,denmark,belgium,netherlands,norway,sweden,yugoslavio so i do know how to play the game its just that i dont know everythingu get me?

[hardy marlin]

in kx i literally overran russia in a month as MONGOLIA with all the speed and cavalry bonuses you get

[sleek pollen]

[lusty shuttle]

if u send that one more time...

[tulip thorn]

Congrats

What year is this?

[lusty shuttle]

something bad will happen to u...

[sleek pollen]

iont have a good experience with that gif, iont like it

[tulip thorn]

[lusty shuttle]

how is it being trans

im just curious no hate

[rich gulch]

You have no idea how much time that took

[sly venture]

what is this bro

[rich gulch]

Microing every movement

[pine shale]

any1 agree

[tulip thorn]

What year did you cap china?

[sly venture]

THIS HAS TO WORK

[rich gulch]

I think like 1943

I only have 200 hours in this game

I’m not that good

[tulip thorn]

Not bad

[rich gulch]

My Germany was already dead

[vivid juniper]

Continued my Japan gamw

[rich gulch]

I was alone

Japan against the whole world

[vivid juniper]

This was on ahistorical mind you but they got pinched

[rich gulch]

Cuz my friend was playing Germany and he was fighting Poland

Then he forgot to put troops on the border next to France

[lusty shuttle]

when did u start playing and u have so many hours

[rich gulch]

So it was only me left

[lusty shuttle]

wait

[rich gulch]

200 is not a lot of hours

[lusty shuttle]

wrong person

[pine shale]

any advice? basically impossible to play countries that start with low infrastrucutre

[lusty shuttle]

i meant to reply to tank

[rich gulch]

I still have a lot to learn

[lusty shuttle]

true

[ivory hull]

how is it impossible lol? just build infra

[rich gulch]

I just learnt navy

[sleek pollen]

use cheap template tho

[rich gulch]

I learnt it with Japan and Italy

[lusty shuttle]

navy and airforce are easy just deploy them

[rich gulch]

I’m not learning it with the UK, it’s pointless being the best

[pine shale]

yea but by the time ur done with infrastrucuter it will be like 1938 or someth8ing then u barely have time to make civs

[rich gulch]

And the fuel just disappears

[lusty shuttle]

for me no
