hoi4-general

[radiant gazelle]

ooh that could be interesting

or just straight but

[craggy trail]

You also get army headquarters

[grave jetty]

What are they going to do? It makes sense since navy has that now

[radiant gazelle]

idk could be cheasy or cool

[winged field]

debuff you to hell if you dont have anyone ig

[grave jetty]

Probably

[craggy trail]

My guess is that it provide bonuses along different states just like how navy headquarters gives buffs to the seazones it covers

[radiant gazelle]

kinda butt

unless you play defense

[grave jetty]

I did see that generals might get captured now

[radiant gazelle]

it cant b ethat

[craggy trail]

But more on that will be covered in the dev diaries

[grave jetty]

She mean like your whole army. It's just speculation though

[radiant gazelle]

yeah ig but it will probably be mostly logistics and maybe planning buffs or something

[grave jetty]

Yeah I wouldn't want to to completely break the game

[misty fossil]

um its like a bunch of tech mods in eaw

[grave jetty]

I've been extremely against division designers and hyper niche gameplay because it just gets overly complicated really fast

[gleaming quiver]

that would be so unbalanced

[grave jetty]

Fair enough

[grave jetty]

Yeah that's the name of the game here

Minors probably won't even start with any headquarters

[radiant gazelle]

it could be cool to be able to bomb

it to debuff enemies

[gleaming quiver]

Army hqs would buff soviets like crazy on barb

Since ger will have to build them as the front progresses

[grave jetty]

Yep, and it'll probably be a pain in the ass to cap Germany, now the game will last until 45 at minimum lol

[radiant gazelle]

what the fuh am i looking at

[grave jetty]

Mods thankfully

[gleaming quiver]

bloat

[grave jetty]

This is why I don't trust the community

[gleaming quiver]

i hate bloat mods ong

[radiant gazelle]

i mean i woudlnt mind there being more yk

[radiant gazelle]

diffrence in how you make tanks and planes lowkey 😭

[grave jetty]

But you have to do it now

If you don't do it you just lose

[radiant gazelle]

yeah but planes are all the same

[grave jetty]

That's my issue

[radiant gazelle]

like fighters is engine 3 and like 3 4xheavy machine guns

always

[grave jetty]

Well yes with this it would be the same but with even more overly complicated equipment to add

And planes now take even longer to research and build

[winged field]

who wants to deal with that?

[fluid cobalt]

He hasn’t

[winged field]

😭

[radiant gazelle]

fair ig

[gleaming quiver]

when will devs add being able to queue agency upgrades

[wide osprey]

i'm late for berlin

😭

[radiant gazelle]

could be cool to see them add more variation to how equipemnt is made

[grave jetty]

Damn, I am not sure what to suggest then

[sudden thistle]

Why no Baltics

[grave jetty]

Yes but again there is always going to be a right way and a wrong way. I feel annoyed that they keep making noob traps

[radiant gazelle]

yeah ig only way is to make it vary by alot

[grave jetty]

Maybe I don't want to play EaW

[radiant gazelle]

like with tanks ig you can go very high defense for space marines

[craggy trail]

They're mainly tech mods, but base EaW goes all the way up to 2nd generation MBTs

[grave jetty]

That sounds worse than it is, right?

[fluid cobalt]

Thanks anyways

[grave jetty]

Yeah it's all good, I just don't really play Japan

[radiant gazelle]

btw anyone here got some mod recs?

[grave jetty]

I wonder if they suck irl or if they'd really be as good as the game says. I don't know if it's just a game limitation or not

[radiant gazelle]

not really ig it would kinda be like trench warfare no

[craggy trail]

less manpower and industry. EaW is a lot less industrialized than 1936

[radiant gazelle]

buncha men hiding behind tanks while charging

[craggy trail]

Ideologies are also different as well

And then you also have magical weaponry and other stuff

[grave jetty]

Well they're support, the tanks are. So it would be more like in tandem

[grave jetty]

Now that part all makes sense

[wide osprey]

WHAT

[grave jetty]

Oh yeah that happens a lot

[wide osprey]

it's harder to defend when your front is so big you know

[sudden thistle]

The Soviets can’t defend 10 more tiles

[misty fossil]

What mod is this again

I need to try it

[wide osprey]

me*

[craggy trail]

I found it somewhere else. Not sure what exact mod it is

[grave jetty]

That just fills up the whole screen

[misty fossil]

[craggy trail]

They're quite everywhere really..

[radiant gazelle]

what the hell

why tf i see my little pony 😭

[wide osprey]

bro what

😭

hell is real

[grave jetty]

It's called Equestria at war

What else would it be

[radiant gazelle]

Saying this like its basic knowledge

[grave jetty]

It's like the third most popular mod

KR and WWI have more downloads I believe

[nocturne cedar]

the new hoi4 trailer doesn’t look like HOI4 at all. The only thing that is related to hoi4 is the war aspect.

[radiant gazelle]

Theres no way mlp got more downloads then tfr

https://giphy.com/gifs/sad-upset-nikotoba-4xgrmWgoBkgqoW4GBJ

[grave jetty]

It's like ten years older than TFR

[radiant gazelle]

Ah fair

[nocturne cedar]

Whag happend to Gotterdamerung like trailers? It’s the same thing almost every time after the chinese dlc!

[grave jetty]

Also TFR is a visual novel, almost more than TNO

[heavy vigil]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1219584468940095498/1255619765423312998/image.gif

[radiant gazelle]

Icl thats like the most fun thing abt it ig

Its better then those 3000 word essays every 10 days

Mods

[craggy trail]

It is one of the top 9 for most subscribed alternate history mods

[radiant gazelle]

Ah alr

[craggy trail]

TFR actually recently surpased TNO in subscriber counts a few days ago

[radiant gazelle]

Tfr buggy ash tho

And vert unoptimized

Or js laggy

[grave jetty]

Looks normal to me

[grave jetty]

Oh fair I forgot about 56

[radiant gazelle]

Well yeah theres not much to do for a just game trailer

Visually

[nocturne cedar]

You could atleast show something related to the DLC?

[grave jetty]

That's shocking I'm surprised

[nocturne cedar]

Like the gotter trailer…

[radiant gazelle]

Aussies fighting

[nocturne cedar]

C’mon, we all knew it was a germany dlc

[grave jetty]

This is just the teaser. The real trailers are the YouTubers paid to play it

[radiant gazelle]

Also look at the by blood alone that was legit a communist propoganda

[grave jetty]

You mean no step back?

[nocturne cedar]

if you showed this trailer to anyone who doesn’t know about the dlc, they wouldnt know what country it is for

[craggy trail]

People do play Pax Britannica as far as I know

[nocturne cedar]

https://youtube.com/shorts/QUerdRUKZEw?si=20PujrzHZrc4cuHy
“Annoucement Trailer”

[radiant gazelle]

Gng the voices in the back

[grave jetty]

If you look at it it's very obvious Australia, the voice the maps the color of the people

[nocturne cedar]

Literally there’s nothing aussie about some forest fight and planes falling

[radiant gazelle]

Very tropical area

[nocturne cedar]

“Oh the voices!” oh please

[radiant gazelle]

https://giphy.com/gifs/rizz-horse-good-face-shape-u1FZcaDYnQFBMMdN5E

Gng legit

What accent is that

Tell me

[nocturne cedar]

you could argue it’s in vietnam or in brazil because both have tropical areas

[grave jetty]

Why are you swagging out about a teaser

[radiant gazelle]

Brazil wouldnt make sense really cus they alr got dlc but for

Vietnam

Maybe

They shouldve included it

[willow gull]

what even is it ?

[grave jetty]

Well it is also updating Vietnam. Also Vietnam didn't exist in 1936

[craggy trail]

Road to 56, Millenium Dawn

[grave jetty]

Teaser trailer

[nocturne cedar]

It literally is an “annoucement trailer”

[craggy trail]

And then the Great War

[willow gull]

what country ?

[nocturne cedar]

if it is a teaser wouldnt it be in the title?

[radiant gazelle]

millenium dawn sucks and i will die on this hill

[grave jetty]

#hearts-of-iron-news

[nocturne cedar]

See? I’ve said no one could tell what country the dlc is for.

[craggy trail]

In terms of Multiplayer, Road to 56 RP is a big mod out there besides vanilla

[willow gull]

oh shi

[safe wing]

Siam, Australia and Indonesia

[craggy trail]

Novum Vexillum

[grave jetty]

He didn't even watch it lol

[grave jetty]

It's just so bloated is all

[split bane]

The tin of Vegemite and the newspaper saying "Australia" at the beginning doesn't give it away for you?

[willow gull]

they gave 0 info in the trailer

[willow gull]

i did

[radiant gazelle]

icl the ideas good but it takestoo long and half of the focuses dont really do anything

[nocturne cedar]

Near to 0 info from the trailer…

[grave jetty]

You expect hoi4 players to read?

[willow gull]

i don’t read

[safe wing]

It was announced in a dev diary at the start of the year

[grave jetty]

True

[willow gull]

bro wants us to read something 4 months ago

[grave jetty]

He's biching about the hypothetical new player who somehow randomly sees this first

[nocturne cedar]

You need external info to know whay’s even about

[radiant gazelle]

also legit not even 10 seconds in

[willow gull]

bro i have 1000 hours & i still didn’t know wtf the trailer was for

[safe wing]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-lightyear-no-sign-of-intelligent-life-dumb-toy-story-gif-11489315

[split bane]

It was at the very beginning of the trailer...

There's also a map of Papua New Guinea

[split bane]

And the very famous Aussie Bush Hat

[safe wing]

How old are you or how rotted is your brain

[willow gull]

21

[split bane]

Well ig it's a Slouch Hat

It's hard to tell what the country is
If you don't understand context clues...

[safe wing]

Well that Answered my question

[willow gull]

how old are you

[safe wing]

25

[willow gull]

bros 4 years older

[nocturne cedar]

the trailer’s job is to communicate about what the content is… Are you seriously going to expect the viewer to notice a newspaper that lasts for 5 seconds?

[split bane]

Considering how everyone here are history nerds I imagine the context clues were meant for that specific demographic

[lethal ether]

its at the point in life where 4 years doesnt matter

21 25 basically same thing

[willow gull]

pushing 30

[nocturne cedar]

Y’know not everyone who plays this is a history nerd

[safe wing]

In terms of brain development not really

[lethal ether]

i disagree

[split bane]

There are a bunch of things at the front that say it's Australia
The Vegemite, the map, the slouch hat, the bush knife, the newspaper

[mental mantle]

Dude, dude its all over my desk rn hoolyyyyyyyy

[split bane]

Context clues are important

[safe wing]

The frontal lobe is less developed at 21 than 25

[sudden thistle]

I’m yet to find a hoi4 player that doesn’t know history

[willow gull]

frontal lobe is less developed at 25 than 30

[nocturne cedar]

You need to really look detail by detail to notice these things.

[split bane]

WW2 grandstrategy game
"not everyone who plays this is a history nerd"
That's the main demographic
That's who it's directed towards

[lethal ether]

i have seen 17 year olds make better points than 25 year olds, its really just about how smart you are. 20yr old wont get magically 3x smarter when they turn 25

[safe wing]

True but that Polish 17 year old ragebaiter and Japan glazer was pretty insufferable for example

[split bane]

Not really?
And if it was that hard to tell what country it's supposed to be then they could just look at the description

[safe wing]

He was all like “aktushalky Japan wasn’t bad in wwii 🤓 ✋”

Hell he told a guy who lost family to Japan in wwii that he was too biased

[grave jetty]

Unc

[grave jetty]

Again this is the teaser literally all of them look like this

[safe wing]

Because killing 30 million people is less worse than killing 200k with nukes apparently

[nocturne cedar]

people play hoi4 not only for the vanilla, they play fallout mods, mlp mods, etc…

[willow gull]

how am i supposed to know lore about australia

[nocturne cedar]

IT SAYS ANNOUCEMENT TRAILER, THEREFORE ITS A TRAILER

[grave jetty]

Ah the Hasan Piker approach

[safe wing]

I would love it someone could harass him on whatever server he is on for me

[willow gull]

why are we getting back to back pacific updates & not allies re work

[grave jetty]

Correct it's a teaser trailer

[safe wing]

He left this server btw

[willow gull]

“official announcement trailer”

officially announced nothing

[grave jetty]

This is an allies rework, Australia is an ally

[grave jetty]

It announced the DLC

[safe wing]

Australia was part of the dominion

[split bane]

Also what do you want them to do?
Put a giant Aussie flag somewhere in the trailer?
The context clues on their own should be enough for most players and if they can't tell what the country is by those, there are plenty of people who can tell based on the clues
If you buy Hoi4, you should know something about the time period, and even if you don't the clues like the vegemite or newspaper kinda smack you in the face

[willow gull]

not the bozos in the background

[grave jetty]

Understandable

[nocturne cedar]

No? They couldve done atleast something similar to the gotter trailer

[safe wing]

Indonesia was an ally, Siam was in the GEACPS

[grave jetty]

Because this looks like hoi4 to you? https://youtu.be/X35yPqws-vk?si=dso4QDmNJ2_Rapxz

[nocturne cedar]

It does, ffs it does

alt history paths

[grave jetty]

That's not how a single game looks, those aren't even in the game that's blender

[nocturne cedar]

The game doesn’t even look like the aussie dlc aswell

trailer

[grave jetty]

Correct

It looks the same

[nocturne cedar]

it doesnt

[split bane]

Did you not read the rest of what I said
Also both trailers were good to announce what the main focus was
GDR was Germany and big new techs and TaoG is Australia
If you don't think it looks like Australia but are ignoring all the things they put in there that say "this is Australia", it's not a very valid complaint

[grave jetty]

I'm not going to argue with Muslim Himmler you win good job

[nocturne cedar]

Have you read what I said? You have to analyse the trailer closely to see the Australia references.

[sudden thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/moneybrain-healing-gif-17052285233570946299

[turbid tulip]

im gonna be honest man its hard not to think its australia by the accent of the VA

[willow gull]

thunder at our wallets DLC just announced, $50 btw

[nocturne cedar]

50 BUCKS?

[split bane]

You really don't

[willow gull]

lmao idk

[nocturne cedar]

nah prob not

its just a 3 country dlc

[willow gull]

probably $30

[safe wing]

It’s 20 usd

[willow gull]

where’s that at

[mental mantle]

If I join the dev team, I will immediately leak the roadmap

[vernal beacon]

why is the serbian focus tree so bad 🥀

[mental mantle]

Dawg that’s the generic focus tree

[vernal beacon]

i wanna reunite fragmented yugoslavia but what is this

[vernal beacon]

i know

[split bane]

Generic tree my guy

Serbia isn't getting anything

[vernal beacon]

does one country even have a reunification path?

[nocturne cedar]

thats what it deserves

[vernal beacon]

for yugoslavia

blut und eisen brate 🥀

[bright hare]

yo chat who is up for sum hoi4

[vernal beacon]

why is nobody givin up shi

wth

i have to be an autarky or what

wait now it work

[split bane]

Yeah when you release a country you need to wait a day or two so the game can find trade routes or whatever

[nocturne cedar]

play rt56

[vernal beacon]

whats that

[nocturne cedar]

cmon you gotta be kidding

[vernal beacon]

and what is reinforcing again?

[vernal beacon]

maybe i know it but i cant guess what rt56 means

[round pivot]

chance of ur divisions entering a battle

[nocturne cedar]

road to 56

its a mod

[vernal beacon]

oh yea i know it

i gotta try it

[vernal beacon]

so theyre more agressive and push faster?

getting org faster?

[round pivot]

no

[nocturne cedar]

show ur template

[round pivot]

divisions are either in combat or in reserve in a battle, reinforce rate is the chance per hour of them going from being in reserve to being in combat

[brisk marsh]

holy teenager afternoon

[vernal beacon]

ok

[nocturne cedar]

you could get this and more if you were to build carriers

[vernal beacon]

havent changed this yet

[brisk marsh]

no i ww1 mod

[vernal beacon]

also i didnt know where to put mods

i got some installed but in a wrong folder i made up

it doesnt work

[nocturne cedar]

the great war mod?

[brisk marsh]

yep

[nocturne cedar]

ah thats sad

[brisk marsh]

xd

[nocturne cedar]

that mod had porential

sad the dev team went full tno mode and removed all of the fun non his paths

and harrased opposition mods

[nocturne cedar]

add AA

also, use a mountaineer division to push

[vernal beacon]

my manpower is way too low and im gonna get montenegro and macedonia

first

[nocturne cedar]

AA doesnt was MP

[vernal beacon]

for mountaineer

maybe after i get the small countrys but im gonna leave it as is for the first push

this is literally the map idk what i did🥀

[buoyant star]

[lilac ginkgo]

You can

2067 is more mod related than 2007

ye

[half onyx]

nice

[lilac ginkgo]

you got any 69 gifs

[fair bough]

Its fun and makes czech strong tho

[lilac ginkgo]

or just 67

[fair bough]

https://tenor.com/view/despicable-me-minions-laugh-laughing-lol-gif-3043058771025640715

[winged field]

yea but they made the whole dlcs about czech while its czechoslovakia

[lilac ginkgo]

well thats not what I meant

[winged field]

also they missed lot of stuff for czech too

[lilac ginkgo]

Slovakia has content

[fair bough]

Like what idk czecoslavakia history

[winged field]

yeah satelite state

[lilac ginkgo]

you can build industry in Slovakia

[winged field]

nothing from history tbf other than that

[lilac ginkgo]

We all know czechia was more important irl than Slovakia historically wise

Slovakia did basically nothing other than one war with hungary that was very short

And thats their whole history

[winged field]

Yes but the same way they missed the potential of assasintaion of Heindrich for czech they missed the slovak uprising for Slovaks

[lilac ginkgo]

they wouldn't have added that

[winged field]

whole dlc is just non aligned czech basically

[lilac ginkgo]

theres like 0 content for uprisings in hoi4

[lilac ginkgo]

theres other paths too

[winged field]

poland has old one but it would be a good start

[lilac ginkgo]

you dont have to always play the best one

[fair bough]

Poland has some i think

[lilac ginkgo]

its 5 years old

or more

[fair bough]

I dont know how old

[winged field]

they missed the potential of that

[safe wing]

It’s going to be 5 at the end of the year

[lilac ginkgo]

its basically useless

[winged field]

ig being a small legion with off map factories is decent concept

[lilac ginkgo]

And Slovakia didnt actually have revolts or uprising the same way Poland did

[lilac ginkgo]

yes but they'll never add that kinda content

[winged field]

there is just not polished well

[hoary glen]

why we get czech dlc before usa

[lilac ginkgo]

well

[winged field]

in republic of texas dlc we trust

[lilac ginkgo]

idk they needed a filler dlc

its there because why not but its not that significant

then they drop the big bombs

[hoary glen]

we need americas dlc

[ripe slate]

Its joint 9th with China in focus tree size

[hoary glen]

peru

[winged field]

crazy

[lilac ginkgo]

maybe not

Canada and the us sure

[ripe slate]

🤷‍♂️

[lilac ginkgo]

who's last

is it like aussa or something

[ripe slate]

If you dont count shared trees, I think Latvia or something, they got only 56

Aussa is a shared one

[lilac ginkgo]

aussa is different

form the badic one

basic

[wary locust]

yh ik im asking if he needs it or not

[wary locust]

[lilac ginkgo]

I wouldn't be investing my granny's life savings on it if I didnt need it

[vernal beacon]

[lilac ginkgo]

[lilac ginkgo]

[vernal beacon]

aaand i lost all my tanks

they got killed somehow

[lilac ginkgo]

add some support companies to it and you re done

[sudden thistle]

ah ye serbia can afford that

[lilac ginkgo]

it should

[sudden thistle]

36w inf

[wary locust]

bro

[lilac ginkgo]

even if he has a few of them

with some flame tanks

[wary locust]

i dont think he was

[lilac ginkgo]

no gang

I do 36w for small countries and majors I just spam 2-0s like 400 of them

and I forget about supply

[wary locust]

lol

[lilac ginkgo]

and I close my eyes and I imagine myself winning

[vernal beacon]

how am i gonna get flame tanks i cant get any breakthrough points

[lilac ginkgo]

it usually does the job

[lilac ginkgo]

you mean xp or what

[wary locust]

bro

[vernal beacon]

lemme show you wait

[lilac ginkgo]

wait

[vernal beacon]

im gonna build a facility rn

[wary locust]

just get more then

[lilac ginkgo]

Build facilities

yea

[wary locust]

im jk

[lilac ginkgo]

wym bro

[terse skiff]

It's very simple to get breakthrough points?

Researching most land tech will net you 0.24% per day

[lilac ginkgo]

is that a question or a statement

[wary locust]

i dont know, is it.

[lilac ginkgo]

you re playing with me

[terse skiff]

It's more confusion about what you mean

Since 1 breakthrough point is easy to get

[lilac ginkgo]

have I said it isnt?

no i haven't

[vernal beacon]

goner game

bruh

[terse skiff]

I was telling him that it's easy to get breakthrough points

[lilac ginkgo]

well yea

why wouldn't it be

[terse skiff]

Cuz he said he couldn't

[lilac ginkgo]

I see

[vernal beacon]

im done with ts

lost 3 hours of my life

on serbia

[lilac ginkgo]

I mean

[vernal beacon]

maybe longer even

[lilac ginkgo]

was it enjoyable

I dont think any amount of anything can make that enjoyable

[vernal beacon]

not even a tiny bit

[lilac ginkgo]

as expected

I dont know what you expected

[vernal beacon]

the only time it was enyoable was when i consumed macedonia and bulgaria

[lilac ginkgo]

no one has their focustrees anymore and then you re just serbia

[vernal beacon]

but it all turned when romania sent a puppet request to bulgaria and i lost all of it

[lilac ginkgo]

isnt that fun

[wary locust]

best tank division template

please

[lilac ginkgo]

am I gone or are you blue hello kitty

man I wish I had flame tanks

im stuck with the 2016 designs

[terse skiff]

But tbh the problem isn't with tanks but with your industry

[lilac ginkgo]

no

I dont have the tanks

flame tanks

I need a dlc

[terse skiff]

I'm telling the other guy

[winter dawn]

what exactly do they mean by "not accessible"

[lilac ginkgo]

depends

what you tryina do

[winter dawn]

just secure naval dominance

[lilac ginkgo]

then your navy cant access the region

right

[winter dawn]

i mean

they can go to the region just fine

but for some reason i can't get them to strike force or patrol there

[lilac ginkgo]

you sure

[winter dawn]

yeah

[terse skiff]

They lack range then

[winter dawn]

i have docking access to nearby countries

[lilac ginkgo]

so thats why then

cause docking access doesnt mean you can strike from their port

[winter dawn]

ah

[hard grove]

Dude why can't I join to the TNO server

[lilac ginkgo]

wym

[low lava]

U guys have any thoughts on the thunder at our gates dlc?

[lilac ginkgo]

I mean i know what you mean

You can't find it

well i found it in like 2 secs

[meager valley]

No thoughts until I hear more about how they’re reworking the division designer and stuff relating to HQ/Regimental Support

[barren cradle]

is there a way to gen prevent anchluss in historical
as austria

[low lava]

Yeah fair

[lilac ginkgo]

if you go historical as Austria no

[meager valley]

The features that will potentially rework the game the most since supply was reworked haven’t been talked about much at all

[lilac ginkgo]

but you can get allied/Italian guarantees by doing ahistorical

[hard grove]

I cannot join for some reason

[lilac ginkgo]

or if you like take over Yugoslavia,Hungary and czechoslovakia before they annex you it might be prevented

[lilac ginkgo]

What does this say

[barren cradle]

okay, just wanted to try some austria-hungary in his
i mean i managed to form it before anchluss so something nice

[barren cradle]

still anchluss tho

[hard grove]

I changed name, turned off the settings

Nothing happened

It just doesn't let me in

[lilac ginkgo]

I dont know what it says

I could try n help if you translate it into English

[meager valley]

Bro never heard of translating with AI

[hard grove]

It says invitation doesn't work

[hard grove]

For real lol

[lilac ginkgo]

So you want me to do the work for you

Yet you need the help

alright I guess s

[hard grove]

I told you what it means

[lilac ginkgo]

Yeah thanks

[hard grove]

It says the invitation cannot be accepted

[lilac ginkgo]

Wait a second

so then once you press the button nothing happens

[meager valley]

And where is says what is your best name, did you set one?

[hard grove]

I tried changing it, nothing happened

[lilac ginkgo]

you might either be banned from the server

[hard grove]

I have NEVER joined to the server before

[lilac ginkgo]

or discord for some reason doesn't recognize your account

[meager valley]

Maybe it’s taken lowkey or need a name within a umlaut

[lilac ginkgo]

when you try to join a server without an account discord asks you to name yourself

might be a bug

[hard grove]

What the

I am really banned from the server

[meager valley]

Fr?

[hard grove]

Dude I have never ever joined there

How

[lilac ginkgo]

depends

[meager valley]

That’s weird

Does it say you’re banned?

[hard grove]

Yep lmao

[meager valley]

Can you send a screenshot

[lilac ginkgo]

yeah

[meager valley]

lol

[lilac ginkgo]

the link works for me

[hard grove]

How

[lilac ginkgo]

no clue

[meager valley]

Send me the link? I wanna try

[hard grove]

We can't send here I guess

[meager valley]

Can dm

[lilac ginkgo]

Sent

[hard grove]

So dumb dude

How

Any mods of TNO here

[lilac ginkgo]

probably not

[meager valley]

Worked

[lilac ginkgo]

yeah hes just banned

[hard grove]

How

I have never joined dude

[lilac ginkgo]

honestly might be some automated thing

[hard grove]

How is this possible

[lilac ginkgo]

idk maybe you dont meet a requirement

[meager valley]

Did you ever register your phone or verify your discord account?

Maybe thought you were a bot

[hard grove]

Of course I did haha

I am not a bot and was never recognised as one

This is ridiculous

[lilac ginkgo]

you might be in a server they don't like or something

[hard grove]

What lol

[uncut pollen]

Ip ban maybe

[lilac ginkgo]

But idk how they'd even check that

[meager valley]

Can discord servers see other servers you’re in?

[hard grove]

Do they hate Road to 56?

[lilac ginkgo]

yeah well not really

[lilac ginkgo]

no I mean like nazi servers or just bad ones

[hard grove]

Nah I am not a Nazi

[hard grove]

But how

I never joined any of them before

[lilac ginkgo]

Do you have anyone at home that plays hoi4

maybe they did something

[hard grove]

No

[lilac ginkgo]

so then idk

alot of apps do this

[meager valley]

It’s weird and I’d guess someone might’ve been banned at some point and they accidentally did you

I’d try contacting their mods directly

[lilac ginkgo]

well thats not gonna happen

[hard grove]

Any mods of them here

This is so weird dude

[lilac ginkgo]

well for example

alot of brands on tiktok ban you just because they think you not 18

[lilac ginkgo]

could be the same here

But idk how they check it

[hard grove]

@slender lily

Can you check DMs

[woeful knoll]

so will there not be a fascist/communist/non aligned australia path

[lilac ginkgo]

why not

[woeful knoll]

nothing in the dev diary

[lilac ginkgo]

ok?

[woeful knoll]

Nice ragebait

[lilac ginkgo]

are you ok

[winter dawn]

what does this mean

[queen schooner]

guys what is best hoi4 mod

[lilac ginkgo]

kx

kaiserredux

[queen schooner]

ok

I like TNO and TFR

[fresh obsidian]

arturw

[fresh obsidian]

Это что, отсылка на тно референс?

[hard grove]

TNO economics pisses me off

Old TNO was better

Road to 56 is fun

Kaiserreich is weird

So much lore that I cannot comprehend

[stoic torrent]

someone want to play hoi4?

[haughty sail]

English only

[fresh obsidian]

I'm too lazy, I'm Russian

[grave jetty]

All of TNO pisses me off lol

Especially the devs

[haughty sail]

Its the rules

[grave jetty]

Yeah the mods are xenophobic smh my head

[fresh obsidian]

Okay, is this a reference to a TNO reference?

[haughty sail]

Im not gonna say anything

[grave jetty]

I'm obviously joking lol

[haughty sail]

Mods here are pretty chill if u follow the rules

I used to be a Millineum Dawn mod dev lol

[grave jetty]

Oh I know someone else who was too

[haughty sail]

I got too busy with life lol

[grave jetty]

Understandable, I'm just terrible with consistency

[queen schooner]

kaiserreich is terrible guys same with KX

[lilac ginkgo]

kx isnt bad

its actually considered to be a very good mod

[woeful knoll]

kx is good

kaiserreich sucks

[azure palm]

I just left Kaiserreich running for 2 and a half hours after I gave austria all tech and a lot of equipment when the russians reached vienna. Its 1943 now. The Russians are still there, the ukranians allied with germany, austria lost terretory to ukraine and the entente still exists.

A weird mod indeed.

[mental mantle]

Balls

[mental mantle]

Dont play kx dawg

The dev team is horrible and shit people

[woeful knoll]

why

[mental mantle]

Play kx expanded

Don’t support those devs

[surreal nexus]

Rank my tierlist made with a friend

Both +700h

[vapid quartz]

luxembourg?

[reef fossil]

tana tuva s tier

[dusk knoll]

is this good for 1939?

[viscid mason]

no

[shell sorrel]

17 prod cost in 1939 is brutal

good luck building a reasonable amount

also 7 breaktrhough wtf how is it even that low

[viscid mason]

Leoben is using a fixed turret. This can only be used on TDs and howi SPGs

[shell sorrel]

oh i thought the fixed turrent looked different

yeah that's terrible then why are you using a fixed turret on a med tank

[viscid mason]

not only that you can't put a fixed turrent on a normal tank it's grayed out for a reason

[dusk knoll]

im not its a tank destroyer

[shell sorrel]

well you notably do not have it set to tank destroyer

[viscid mason]

you still use 3 man turret for the TD

actually just build a heavy tank for TDs

[marsh kestrel]

Hi guys

[viscid mason]

hello

[marsh kestrel]

Can someone create for me a good Medium tank division template (please only mediul tanks without motorized vehicles) for the USA and a good Medium tank template

[mental mantle]

Bruh brazil is d tier focus tree

[viscid mason]

pinned comments in the ask for help thread.

replace motorized with mech or cav

[marsh kestrel]

How can i do this?

[viscid mason]

in discord there is a feature to look at pinned messages

[marsh kestrel]

So i can replace in every division template the vehicles with cavalry, dont care what for a tank division build it is?

[viscid mason]

yes, if you have nsb the pinned messages also have a tank (spg) template too

[sudden thistle]

Turkey?

[sudden thistle]

Not tuff

[violet grail]

This one?

[sudden thistle]

Yes

The lightning doesn’t fit

[violet grail]

What does

[sudden thistle]

The lightning

[vivid juniper]

OK, how do I fight the 2nd Russian Civil War?

[whole matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/who-is-he-random-kid-who-are-you-ishoweyes-i-found-ishoweyes-gif-346227368098110738

[marsh kestrel]

nsb? spg?

[whole matrix]

There two letters A

[viscid mason]

no step back. SPG stands for self propelled gun also known as self propelled artillery

[whole matrix]

That you can use as eyes

[marsh kestrel]

Can i not replace the spg with normal Medium Tanks? So that i can Producer faster and more divisions so also tanks

[viscid mason]

you can replace them with tanks if you want

[marsh kestrel]

Ok and what is the best medium Tank build for the usa

Normalest end of every round in hoi4 with germany

[shell sorrel]

you need those little dancing AI caits

cats

these bad boys

[haughty sail]

@heavy vigil

this is disgusting btw

[heavy vigil]

yeah lets not.

[viscid mason]

1938 howi tank with 2 heavy machine guns and armor skirts. 10 tank battalions and 8 infantry (whatever type you like) should be the division template

[violet grail]

What happened

[ember vine]

How can germans have twice as less divisions than me and they still win

This makes no sense

[terse bloom]

Should have included New Zealand and British Malaya/Singapore/Borneo focus trees

[restive sable]

what would one even do in a singapore focus tree

[hard depot]

larp

[terse bloom]

Yes

[ripe slate]

NATO icon player, chat, laugh at this guy /s

[wet flicker]

because vanilla germany cheats to win

promise you that

[wet flicker]

ppl complain about sheep ai but vanilla germany is practically the same way

even when they about to capitualte they have like fkn 150 divisions left

with operation sea lion available to take as a focus

[ember vine]

Why do people play with those anime mods

[surreal nexus]

Its a tierlist based on fun

[raven lotus]

because yes

[surreal nexus]

Nothing else

[ember vine]

But its stupid

[raven lotus]

nope

[fair horizon]

Eh their game idgaf

[ember vine]

I just hate the ai for either being too dumb or just managing 100000 things in the game hour out of nowhere

[pliant ginkgo]

Uh guys. My buddy Zhukov is about to be purged.

[safe wing]

its stupid but I don't care at the same time

thats my take

[surreal nexus]

They are just playing what they want gng 🥀🥀🥀

[safe wing]

Rome total war spotted

and Attila and Med 2

[sudden thistle]

💀

[safe wing]

holy shit and Skyrim and Oblivon

🔥 games

[raven lotus]

yep

[sudden thistle]

Ur ignoring the 12k hours on hoi

[safe wing]

I'm more focused on the game list

[sudden thistle]

0 achievements too

[safe wing]

would rather have someone that knows what Total war Rome and Med 2 are

[cedar monolith]

invading great britain as usa..... the hard way

[cedar monolith]

just a few detours along the way, couple stops to make.

[fair horizon]

Please tell me you went sfp

[raven lotus]

?

sfp?

[fair horizon]

Supetior firepower

[safe wing]

superior firepower

aka the artillery doctrine that doesn't do much for artillery

[raven lotus]

the game just started

[fair horizon]

Yeah but funny because megumin

[fair horizon]

Pupper

[raven lotus]

im about to piss off alot of people

[whole matrix]

Is this W template

[raven lotus]

SUN YAT-SEN VS SUN YAT SEN!!!

[wet flicker]

you can prevent anchluss happening all together

even when its imminent lmao

thats so funny

GERMANS declaring war on the soviets

[raw crystal]

Should I play as Papal State Italy or Monarchist France next?

[misty fossil]

Spf 50, sunscreen potency or something

[wet flicker]

papal

from experience its so fun

[safe wing]

Papal more content

[raven lotus]

was that a vampire joke..

[misty fossil]

no and i didnt even notice that

[raven lotus]

lol

[jade hearth]

After this dlc we will get UK,France,and USA reworks right?
...right?

[fair horizon]

Hoi5

I HAVE TO WAIT TILL JUNE 11TH FOR MY AUSTRALIA DLC?

[limpid field]

no it will be the Himalayan expansion

[fair horizon]

Im very happy you czech players dont have a slovokia tree

[limpid field]

obviously, its the most active region during ww2

[limpid field]

and they are at war

[jade hearth]

I dont get what the rant over Slovakia was

Was it a joke or what

[terse skiff]

Cuz the game initially said there would be a Slovakia tree when there wasn't a plan to

[lapis snow]

no it didn't lmao

[terse skiff]

In initial marketing it hinted that you could play Slovakia

[fair horizon]

No people wanted a tree for it but like also czech players dont deserve happiness for taking my dlc spot

I could have been playing australia's updated tree but they stole it from me

[opal nymph]

I could have been playing Siam's tree but they budged in line

[fair horizon]

Blame czech players

[opal nymph]

I guess the joke is that we don't get a Slovakia tree

And the Australia dlc is 2% better at least

[fair horizon]

What did the czech dlc even add even?

[opal nymph]

Finland level buffs for the Czechs

[fair horizon]

Like any special projects?

[opal nymph]

Yes

Fort busters

And maybe 1 more thing, idk

[untold cove]

last night japanese forces attacked hong kong

[fair horizon]

The best part about japan is they dont attack australia

Just everything around us

[untold cove]

last night japanese forces attacked midway islands

japan has therefore undertaken a suprise offensive, extending through and out of the pacific area

[nocturne dune]

Aura farming

[shell sorrel]

The Czech tree now is incredible

[untold cove]

https://tenor.com/view/feels-the-aura-gif-2347929915833160550

[limpid field]

how long do you think it will take until we get focuses for more releaseables

right now only Ethiopian releaseables have them

[shell sorrel]

Whether or not Czech dlc sells well will likely dictate how much mini-DLC/mod collabs come out

[limpid field]

i don't think its selling well rn

[shell sorrel]

If Czech dlc does/did well, I’d imagine we’ll get quite a few of those that you’re describing

[restive sable]

a while (if ever)

sorta doubt they'll ever do that at all

[deft tangle]

It's september 1944... the eastern front has barely moved the past two years and soon comes the third winter since the invasion began...

The USSR landed a massive force in Bulgaria while I was dealing with Greece having joined the war

And with enemy remainders in France

At some point half of Italy was occupied but I successfully pulled off a reconquest

Supply in the east is so shit I can't do anything

[untold cove]

you have to finish a front to send manpower and supplies elsewhere

but you probably already know that

[pliant ginkgo]

Easy. Germany somehow did Munich Conference by September 1st of 1939 so my war goal should be done by the time the invade Poland. Im also doing the path to protect Poland

Also idk why I could invite Iran to the Comintern, but i took the opportunity

[dusky burrow]

how to save Germany in one easy step

iran and the united kingdom have signed a white peace

[winter fulcrum]

time to liberate berlin from the communists

[viscid mason]

what flag is that?

[winter fulcrum]

pretty sure its the byzantine flag

[atomic grove]

fascist byzantine empire

[viscid mason]

okay that makes sense as I thought their flag was purple lmao.

[atomic grove]

basically fascist greece when it forms byzantium

[atomic grove]

it is

historically

but in hoi4 no

byzantium doesnt have a majority purple flag in hoi4 as far as i know

for some reason

[viscid mason]

I must have confused it with their territory color lol

[autumn basin]

anyone want to do a hard co-op campaign as random nations we can decide which ones

[dusky burrow]

yeah, it's the game byzantine's flag

[viscid mason]

I'm sure the Battle of the Budge will turn the tide of the war /s

[limpid field]

did you know that you can screenshot

hoi4 players vs screenshotting

[viscid mason]

r/hoi4 is infamous for this.

Anyways good night everyone.

[dusk knoll]

w temp[late?

[lapis snow]

if you remove the motor, motor arty and cav, then it becomes half-decent

[dusk knoll]

i just made the worst template possible

[azure walrus]

ironman italy game #1! fresh start! im gonna try the communist path for gramsci achievement

[dusk knoll]

how is this your first italy game bro

[safe wing]

that achivement is easy

[azure walrus]

it isnt, but its my first game in a while

[wet flicker]

czechoslovakia is impossible to even run

romania doesnt fold under any type of pressure for me

and germany is always invading me before i can even get half way into yugoslavia

[azure walrus]

so i might be able to get some others

alogn the way

can communist italy form the eu

[wet flicker]

a version of it

its called something else im pretty sure

[twin nebula]

https://tenor.com/view/tungtungsahur-communist-marxism-worldunite-tungtungtungcommie-gif-17656986822260584226

[wet flicker]

they should add something for the usa thats like "returning to your roots" and it lets you form the eu

that would be funny asl

[winter fulcrum]

wanted to form the byzantine but got screwed over by joining the axis

[misty fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/ricolino-scolari-gif-25352670

[winter fulcrum]

seems like everytime i join the axis as a minor i get screwed

[dusk knoll]

wdym

[wraith mauve]

How to puppet Spain in Hoi4 as ussr

[dusk knoll]

this upsets me

[wraith mauve]

???

[dusk knoll]

give volunteers to the anarchists

and make them win

[wraith mauve]

I thought it was republican

Is there a focus

[lapis snow]

yeah the republican tree has a focus where they can choose to go communist. If they do that you get the opportunity to puppet them

[wraith mauve]

Oh ok thank u

[lapis snow]

they can still ditch you afterwards though

[wraith mauve]

Also one more thing what does economic surplus do

Does it help build things?

[lapis snow]

like when you sell equipment on the market?

[wraith mauve]

Yes

[lapis snow]

yeah it gives you construction

[wraith mauve]

I have 2800 hours and I’m still learning stuff😭

[dusky burrow]

i mean it would

because the allies have zero troops there

[wraith mauve]

Yuh it would be a recreation of the battle of France

[lapis snow]

kinda normal tbh, there's a lot of slightly hidden mechanics and esoteric modifiers

[wraith mauve]

Ya

[dusky burrow]

if all of the troops on the western front got kicked out and attritioned all of a sudden, the germans would steamroll them

[wraith mauve]

I was told to justify on turkey and use it as a gate way to annex Romania
