[upbeat tundra]

[cedar lance]

i wonder what the new div designer rework is gonna work/look like

[astral forum]

Does having Joseph Ferdinand von Habsburg-Lorraine not count towards We Are All Family?? I have Otto Von Habsburg as Austria, Robert Von Habsburg for Lombardy, and Joseph August von Habsburg for Hungary, does Joseph Ferdinand having the Lorraine at the end make it invalid? I also own the Swiss Plateau, and it's cored. Everything should be right

[unique vine]

how do you have peace with someone you cant attack

[surreal mist]

find a way to attack them to force them to to the negotiating table

[unique vine]

i lit can't there across the world and i can't get to them

why isn't my buildings getting constructed

[cedar kite]

check the wiki for the achievement to see what are the requirements

theres also another habsburg in tuscany

[astral forum]

That's what I was doing

And I do have the Tuscany dude, I forgot to mention him

[misty fossil]

g

[unique vine]

how do i get more civ factories

[wet flicker]

if romania rejects czechoslovakia's request to puppet them, can i save scum and possibly get them to accept the demand after reloading?

or if they say no then its going to be the same answer no matter what

[limpid field]

top 3 dumbest questions

no offense but its really stupid

just build them

[wet flicker]

press T then under shared buildings press the orange building with an iron bar in front of it

its next to the military factories

then when you have the civs selected, click on the territories that you wanna build them in

[wet flicker]

does any1 know

[cedar lance]

im gonna get 100k tanks and 100 mil infantry techs and equipments

as Estonia

and many thousands of ships

[misty fossil]

what command can i use to max my doctrines

[cedar lance]

im also gonna buy and get a lot of licenses and techs and equipments

[wraith mauve]

As ussr what’s best unit to use to invade Manchuria and xinjang

Like Calvary infantry

Or mountaineers

Or jaeger I’m in rt56

[cedar lance]

idk

im also gonna produce thousands of aircrafts planes and helis

[fair horizon]

BASED

[unique vine]

their maxxed out and i have them queued and they won't build

[cedar lance]

wdym based?

[wet flicker]

why does romania keep rejecting to be czechoslovakia's puppet no matter what

i cant figure out for the life of me how to get them puppeted

my military is bigger, i have more stockpiles, our relations are +100, im docked, and using their air bases, and negotiated a license

hungary accepted easily but romania just will not

[fair horizon]

Everyone in this discord hates navy except me

[dusk knoll]

if it was november i wouldve failed

[dry sleet]

Canada can into navy! (more naval warscore than the US)

[fair horizon]

13 destroyer losses 🤮

Show navy btw

[dry sleet]

(and previous versions from DD3 onwards)

[dry sleet]

most of those are the crappy DD1 you stary with

[fair horizon]

Show full navy

[fair horizon]

Is that EAW

[hard depot]

Yep

I don't play EAW, but for sure I know that design

Should I even commit to 9/0 or 9/1 with Support Arty, AA and Engi's only/

I need to make this spammable as hell

[cedar lance]

i hope the next dlc expansion adds new units and templates

[misty fossil]

yeah

what the hell

[misty fossil]

never yse line artillery ever

use

[hard depot]

Will line arty be always shit and will always be shit?

[misty fossil]

it will only be good once paradox reduces line arty cw to 2

[hard depot]

I'm on a new SSD so I had to rehaul my steam, this is a new USSR game

[misty fossil]

congrats on acquiring a new super star destroyer though im not sure how it has anything to do with hoi4

[cedar lance]

as Estonia ill use the console command to get 100k tanks and 100 mil of all other techs and equipments

[hard depot]

I meant to make this inf template as spammable as hell of a unit so i need to make some modifications to it

I would rather have a great standing airforce by the time the Germans come knocking in

[sly sluice]

well no. you CAN use it. its just expensive

expensive asf...

[misty fossil]

yeah you can use it, but its like buying an iphone 11 instead of an iphone 15

its simply inefficient use of money (ic)

well depends on how moneyed you are

if you're like me then i'd buy the iphone 11 instead since its cheaper/...

[hard depot]

Would have been funni if I used my US template but IC

[sly sluice]

i just use mech motorised and a bit of motorised line arty to keep the speed.

[hard depot]

SH Artillery plus Siege Artillery doctrine

Melts Germans by 1942

[sly sluice]

thats too expensive for you as the us? i was cranking those out as democratic iran

[hard depot]

Welp you can't do that in USSR anyways because the Germans come knocking into your doorstep and the IC of this is diabolically hell.

[sly sluice]

well not exactly those

but close enough

[hard depot]

More like: I ran out of manpower

[sly sluice]

how the hell

oh

i see

add field hospitals

[hard depot]

Welp since this is a USSR game, things will change

Gonna make this 9/0 template spammable as hell with only Support Arty, AA and Engineer

[terse skiff]

2000 is not hell

[hard depot]

I have to focus all of this IC onto planes

[sly sluice]

you still should use field hospital i think. honestly. its just so worth it. yes you have lots of manpower but how great would it be if you has trickleback during the war to save manpower for when you go get the allies

[terse skiff]

With ussr you can pump out at least 1 million ic before the war begins

[terse skiff]

20 factories on fighters is enough, and then 3 for scouts and 5 for cas so idk what's the problem

[sly sluice]

way more then that dude

[thick vector]

Watashi wa mradin desu

[sly sluice]

way more

wait

[terse skiff]

Yeah actually way more

[sly sluice]

yeah

[hard depot]

What the hell am I making

[sly sluice]

idk shit about tank designs man

idk

[fair horizon]

wait why is it up there

[terse skiff]

I can get 120 36w SPG divisions of 7000 ic and 120 inf divisions of 2000 ic and 6 super heavy rgs of 1600 ic and 1500 30 ic fighters and 50 50 ic scouts and 300 30 ic cas so that's at least 1.15 million ic

[terse skiff]

Crap

[terse skiff]

If you consider leftovers and equipment spent on training then it's at least 1.5 million mic

[fair horizon]

just destroyers? 🤮

[dry sleet]

I build capitals only if I also make carriers, and Canada doesn't really have the dockyards or research slots to afford them

[fair horizon]

wym

canada gets 50% faster research of ice carriers

[dry sleet]

which still requires you to build a naval facility (meaning less dockyards) and research a bunch of carrier stuff before

[fair horizon]

how does that mean less dockyards?

it doesnt take the slot

[dry sleet]

Canada is not the US, you won't fill up your building slots unless you civ greed like crazy

[fair horizon]

and why wouldnt you?

[dry sleet]

because if you want a decent sized navy ready by the 40s (and not to be starting to build one) you need to build dockyards from the start

[fair horizon]

seems quite weird to have a low amount of civs

[dry sleet]

you can get DD3 in late 36 and radar mid 37

[fair horizon]

it has about the same economy as australia

i dont see why you wouldnt get at least 15

you also get like what, 3 dockyards free?

[dry sleet]

That's by building only dockyards form the game start

[terse skiff]

Is this against humans?

I thought Canada just builds elite tank divisions in mp

[fair horizon]

weird to just build dockyards :/

i only ever build up to 15 dockyards as australia

[dry sleet]

No, but I'm kinda testing thing for MP, and despite having been pretty fun/effective naval-wise it's not worth the loss in mechanized production

[terse skiff]

I thought in MP if axis takes out USSR then allies just surrender

So navy is not useful?

Not quite sure about that tbh

[dry sleet]

depends how japan/us naval war goes

[wet flicker]

what countries can i justify against to prevent the uk from guaranteeing poland's independence

[dry sleet]

if Japan dominates the US and then combines forces with the Italians against the brits, it's a problem

[wet flicker]

is there any countries that the uk will guarantee over poland is a better question

ive tried netherlands and ireland but france will gurantee those for the uk

[dry sleet]

any democratic in europe for sure

[wet flicker]

lithuania seems to get the uk's attention asap

[dry sleet]

who guarantees them depends more on who has the free PP at the right time

[wet flicker]

the uk seems to constantly go for securing the independence of poland before its ever needed

its so annoying

[dry sleet]

that might be scripted, unsure

[wet flicker]

FRANCE IS OMD

i was just making sure my templates work (check the spreadsheet i sent in #ask-for-help-here

but i could if i wanted

[limpid field]

but you already got 3 romes

just get Russia and you unofficially complete it

[dusky burrow]

true

planning on going after russia after finishing india and burma

by the way, as you can see on the right side of the screen, the soviets and china are at war

The soviets have lost like 5 million men to China, meanwhile the US wages war against Denmark and thus me

[cedar lance]

nah

[acoustic wasp]

i'll try it then, time for some cheesy space marines

[cedar lance]

alr

[dusky burrow]

you have 200 days-ish to push the germans to berlin and neuter their attack capabilities

and then you go east to stop the soviets

should be doable

[ember vine]

Yesterday I had the perfect game as monarchist Czechoslovakia since Romania joined democratic Austria's faction so I could annex them by killing Austria so I did that but I was too full of myself and ruined my game by invading Germany

I wish I could start from the point of annexing Austria

[fading pier]

brah

don't annex them

puppet.

puppet romania

[ember vine]

I did but I just took transylvania

For myself

[fading pier]

oohh

did u get Poland

[ember vine]

So I could reform AH with Czechoslovakia

[ember vine]

No because I thought that Germany would be powerless after their civil war

I was wrong and their army suddenly got twice as large

[ivory hull]

why puppet and not annex?

[ember vine]

Damage to garrisons would be huge

With what I had there

[fading pier]

you should get all of them next turn

[ivory hull]

usually annexing is better than puppeting because high compliance gives you more than a puppet

[fading pier]

Romania, Poland and Yugoslavia troops lowk carry the fight against germany

[ember vine]

I wanted to take Yugoslavia but they still had guarantees from French

[fading pier]

1 year wouldnt be enough

Also you can get divs from puppets/use their population for divs

[lilac ginkgo]

no cause

theres war reps and stuff

resource rights

and it makes it easier than to annex

[lost dawn]

I simply love dominating both France and Britain on the naval front

Simply delicious.

[marsh kestrel]

Did anyone have please some steel?

[wide osprey]

how on earth

[lost dawn]

Get yourself these

[wide osprey]

can you be out of steel
as usa

[lost dawn]

Go to your events and decisions tab and select any options to expand mines

[wide osprey]

my brother is christ
you don't need that much tanks🙏

also build intrastructure

[marsh kestrel]

I do this actually for the 3x or something like this

[storm thunder]

What did they do with china

this is not how I remember it

[marsh kestrel]

I have maxed out my infrastructure

[mental mantle]

No you didn’t

[ripe slate]

They made it more accurate

Well, except Burma but that was GoE

[mental mantle]

Why burma?

[storm thunder]

I havent played in awhile

[ripe slate]

Burma was part of the Raj until 1937 IIRC

[marsh kestrel]

And what is THIS!?

[storm thunder]

What country do I larp as now

[mental mantle]

You are forgetting hawaii and guam and alaska

[marsh kestrel]

They have no steel

[mental mantle]

Bulgaria and make greater bulgaria

Or greece and reclaim constantinople

[storm thunder]

perhaps

[marsh kestrel]

I do Tanks only!

[storm thunder]

idk is there a byzantium path for greece?

[haughty sail]

i still want a colombia and venezuala focus tree dlc

[marsh kestrel]

My USA is only a giant tank Fabric

[haughty sail]

we were robbed

[lost dawn]

"They said my Italy was weak"

[storm thunder]

holy hell WHAT is this greece focus tree

[winged field]

yes

[lost dawn]

It is garbage

But yes. There is a path to reform Rome as Greece

[winged field]

Wdym garbage, you get a pretty purple color

[storm thunder]

What is this 😭

[winged field]

and a flag

[lost dawn]

Yes the colour is beautiful... but the flag absolutely sucks and the focus tree? It is just horrible.

[winged field]

place under arrest, you dont need to worry about factions if you are going byzantine, just befriend commuists when u got pp for it

[storm thunder]

whats going on in russia bro

[misty fossil]

i cant wait for pdx to eff up australia

[storm thunder]

👍

[lost dawn]

Don't you worry about that

[marsh kestrel]

Oh god this border i cant

[lost dawn]

It is not that bad actually

[marsh kestrel]

Yeah but just look at finland or india

[winged field]

byzantine if fine cuz you get gazilion manpower from coring

[ivory hull]

just get mods

[lost dawn]

It is not actually fine. Stop spouting nonsense.

[winged field]

You do you but its fine

There are worse

[lost dawn]

The focus tree puts you up against two, far more powerful, enemies right at the start. Defeating them means having skill, knowledge of the game and a bit of luck.

[winged field]

And thats the beauty of it

[lost dawn]

If you lose your navy or democratic party leader too early you are dead in the water.

[molten forge]

can i have a dlcless light tank division design?

[winged field]

u dont have designer

[ivory hull]

why the democratic leader?

[lost dawn]

This guy

If he dies too early... you lose most of your war support and it just really sucks

[cyan grove]

Not me coming to the main hoi4 server after my server is dead rn

This is a scary place

[lost dawn]

What

[cyan grove]

I play on a different server for hoi4, the chat there is dead rn so I popped in here

😊

[winged field]

Welcome

[lost dawn]

I feel like doing a quick safari

[tulip thorn]

Yes very scary, be scared boooooo

[misty fossil]

Yo its him, john greece

[cyan grove]

Maybe I should go back to PDXRP, my fears have been realized

This is indeed a scary place

[winged field]

September 30th, 1998. It's a day I'll never forget. The cop inside me died that day

[cyan grove]

Lol

[tulip thorn]

This image is actually peak

[lost dawn]

Not exactly

He is, however, the most annoying Greek person I know

[misty fossil]

How is a dead man annoying

Hes not hitler

[molten forge]

nope

just like light or medium tank template

[lost dawn]

He has the audacity to die on his own time.

[molten forge]

division template

[lost dawn]

Does not even bother asking what I think about it.

How rude of him

[misty fossil]

Real

oh yeah

My last byz game he died like 1 month in

[mental mantle]

Should I use a honey badger in phantom forces on roblox or stick to m4a1?

[lost dawn]

I had 2 games in a row where he died on the 3rd of January 1936

[misty fossil]

Thats not possible

when do you get him

[lost dawn]

He can die before you get him as a leader.

[misty fossil]

isnt it after you arrest the king or after you did the first focus

[ivory hull]

ak12 trust me

[misty fossil]

https://tenor.com/view/yh-gif-25406060

[lost dawn]

Proof

[lost dawn]

3rd of January

And he is dead

[marsh kestrel]

Cactical Loadout

[lost dawn]

Really Germany?

Why did you have to go ahead and do that huh?

Attacking my Yugoslavia while we have a non-aggression pact and are fighting in the same war against the Allies?

[mental mantle]

“What did you expect? I’m Hitler!” - Oversimplified

[lost dawn]

We even signed the Tripartite pact

and yugo is literally my puppet.

[lost dawn]

Ngl. I would expect the AI to understand that we have common interests for now.

[limber knoll]

why does this keep happening on hist?

[mental mantle]

Czechia not being purported?

[ripe slate]

Because its historical

[mental mantle]

Puppeted?

[limber knoll]

no

but did they divide themselves in real life?

[mental mantle]

Yea

[limber knoll]

didnt know that

[mental mantle]

But Germany is supposed to puppet czechia

Reichkommisariat Bohem-Moravia

[ripe slate]

Previously Slovakia would spawn only when Germany did Fate of Czechoslovakia, now with the DLC it shows Slovakia getting regional autonomy before it switched to being Germany's puppet

[mental mantle]

What’s with the question marks

[ripe slate]

The German puppeting happens later

[chilly stream]

Hi 👁️👁️

[ripe slate]

Welcome

[mental mantle]

Bruh, it happened a day after slovakian independence in our timeline, in march 15th or 16th [forgot]

[chilly stream]

Thanks

[limber knoll]

so germany cant get the ukraine part of chzechoslovakia?

[mental mantle]

It was proclaimed independent, but Hungary invaded and occupied it

Within a day

[ripe slate]

There is something configured for Germany to take it but I forgot how it works

[chilly stream]

Could someone help me with the game? I'm learning and I have some questions.

[dreamy forum]

Does anyone know a mod that makes the hoi4 map smaller? My laptop barely runs the current one.

[mental mantle]

You could check out #ask-for-help-here

[mental mantle]

The simplified map mod and most of the lowest settings should work

I was in the same position

Also tip: Configure your page file and turn off your computer then run hoi4 immediately after booting up

Saves a lot of ram

[dreamy forum]

👍

[heavy vigil]

theres some mp focused mods that do improvement of performance + nation deleting if you wanna play hist

[merry harness]

problems with multiplayer or smth

?

[lyric marsh]

are there any mods that make creating factions focuses only

or atleast a mod that balances factions

[honest glacier]

i think you can tweak faction rules in the game presets

[grave sonnet]

Yes

[wary locust]

yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

whats uppie

does anyone have a good medium tank design

as germany

[grave sonnet]

Nvm you can't

[grave sonnet]

You can go into the country with tag command

The leader of the factoion

Faction*

[wary locust]

do u have a good tank design as germany

[grave sonnet]

And kick every1

And disband

[lyric marsh]

i use toolpack to instantly delete bs factions

but id rather not have to police factions constantly

[grave sonnet]

True

[grave sonnet]

Specific tank type

Like SPG or Just regular?

[wary locust]

normalk

regular

[lyric marsh]

i feel like european majors shouldnt be able to join any non european faction except maybe the american one

[untold cove]

portugal joins asian co prosperity sphere momento

[lyric marsh]

peak balancing 🥹

i love when i go to war with a random european minor and they join a faction with like Nicaragua who is somehow a major and i am supposed to just be stuck in a war with an unreachable major forever

[untold cove]

i have a suggestion for you

for example, you are at war with allies

declare war on european countries that is not part of the allies

so you can annex them all and get rid of a faction at once

[sly elm]

i have to face SMART BALD GUY?!?!?!

[ivory hull]

what nation are you?

[sly elm]

Turkey

[grave sonnet]

Good thing yugo isn't a major so it's free to join the Chinese United Front

[lyric marsh]

italy is always competent in my games

for some reason

i think when germany goes ahistorical but they stay fascist they lock in or smth

[grave sonnet]

My Italy lost to Switzerland 😭

[lyric marsh]

😭😭😭

[grave sonnet]

At least the Swiss can mass produce Toblerone chocolate now with the civilian factories

[manic iris]

guys what r the diffrences from pritoritise economic growth and the 4 year plan

[untold cove]

in 4 year plan, you rely on conquering other nations to pillage their gold reserves

it finishes eventually but you'll need a lot of gold

[manic iris]

so the other one?

[untold cove]

other one is a slower but more reliable economy

you pay off your debts and build an economy from scratch i think

i dont really use prioritise economic growth tbh

[manic iris]

ok so this other one is like a calmer gameplay

okay thank you so much

[untold cove]

you should probably ask other people or read the wiki, i dont know much about economic growth path

[manic iris]

okay, your info is still really helpfull thanks

[untold cove]

one thing i know for sure is 4 year plan relies on war

[upbeat tundra]

go big or go home

u gotta seize gold reserves from other countries to reduce ur consumer goods i think

iirc

[untold cove]

british gold reserves make me secrete so much dopamine

-%60 consumer goods is WILD work

[untold cove]

how do you finish economy of conquest tho

by achieving autarky?

[upbeat tundra]

finish autarky

[untold cove]

oh yeah

[upbeat tundra]

i think

it changes the national spirit

[untold cove]

and you dont have to pillage others's gold anymore

which wont stop me personally

[upbeat tundra]

yep

[untold cove]

nngh never enough gold

[upbeat tundra]

one time as communist german EU i got so much CGF and buffs from autarky that i could afford to upkeep armies of mechanized

[untold cove]

thats a lot of mechanized equipment you got there

bro uses halftracks instead of trucks

in supply lines

[upbeat tundra]

i just didnt make breakthrough divs

[manic iris]

why did my bills dissapear

[untold cove]

like 9 mech infantry division?

[manic iris]

what

[untold cove]

did you declare war on somebody

[upbeat tundra]

just 272 divs of 36W mechanized

[manic iris]

nope

[untold cove]

did you go economic growth

[manic iris]

yes

[untold cove]

you are paying them bills

[manic iris]

😭 ahh i hate those darn things

[untold cove]

eventually payments will be over and you can build your economy

[untold cove]

dopamine levels increased

[manic iris]

guys can i get ur opinion is using nocb cheating like does it ruin the love of the game

[misty fossil]

Why are you using motorised for divisions vro

[misty fossil]

no

You paid for ur game

Who cares

[upbeat tundra]

mechanized*

[manic iris]

smart

[untold cove]

historical

[manic iris]

is playing usa fun>?

[upbeat tundra]

aye i needed oil for my mechanized spam

[patent thistle]

you cant change my mind that battlefront 2 isnt goated

[manic iris]

ive never rlly tried it

[patent thistle]

i am still pissed that the game didnt get a battlefront 3

[upbeat tundra]

HELLLLLL no

you get to afk for 4 years then scale

[manic iris]

what

😭

what abt ahistorical

is there any like fascist or communist path or non aligned stuff

[untold cove]

why USA instead of romania or middle east though

[upbeat tundra]

you thought i hadnt invaded those two?

[untold cove]

almost all of them ends up in a civil war

[untold cove]

never enough fuel i guess

[upbeat tundra]

i took the balkans to add the balkan cores to the union

communist EU is kinda broken

esp on germoney

[untold cove]

germoney 😭 🙏

[thorn wyvern]

Hello I`m new to the game and I realised that when u try to become HRE German empire I don't have enough world tension can anyone tell me why

[grizzled yarrow]

Hungary is more fun

[lapis onyx]

question for multi sampling so i can have max performance what do i put it on 0 right?

[untold cove]

try justifying against USA rapidly, this will generate some world tension

start justfying, cancel it around 80 90

[thorn wyvern]

But i dont have 50% world tension

[grizzled yarrow]

U cant justify with no world tension

[lapis onyx]

also does anyone have a guide for stuff man the guns added?

[untold cove]

bruh i forgot i was playing with custom rules

[lapis onyx]

keep in mind i have no dlc outside from whats given by default

[manic iris]

so usa is not worth playing

[untold cove]

it is worth playing

[lapis onyx]

im doing a iron man usa playthrough rn personally

[manic iris]

i cant play anything beside italy and germany, UK i cant i hate navy so much

[lapis onyx]

ill be done in a month cus my game moves at a snails pace

[grizzled yarrow]

Is uhhh china worth playing

[untold cove]

it has a new usa path and ship design, admiral traits and naval things

[grizzled yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/kitten-cat-cat-licking-licking-cat-bacon-gif-16119512773136380303

[meager valley]

Tbh the USA is just pretty boring. It’s isolated and you can’t really invade anyone unless you have a civil war which takes years to even start

[lapis onyx]

im asking about the ship designer

[untold cove]

every country is worth playing

[lapis onyx]

brain no brain with the new ships

[untold cove]

its just like tank designer, you have light and heavy attacks. i think heavy attack is inflicted on capital ships and light attack infliced on screens

[grizzled yarrow]

Cuz like by the time u get to fight anyone other than japan its alr 1942

[lapis onyx]

i dont own that dlc

[meager valley]

Nah a few generics without formables suck, like Liberia

[manic iris]

what about japan or ussr

[lapis onyx]

i literally said i own no dlc outside what given for free

[untold cove]

you can always unite china

[untold cove]

do you have man the guns

[meager valley]

Those are way more fun

[grizzled yarrow]

Well yeah but im talking bout anything outside of china 🙏

[lapis onyx]

yes and any other free dlc

[grizzled yarrow]

Both are great

[untold cove]

you can have big asia all for yourself

[lapis onyx]

japan had a focus tree that hadnt been updated since waking the tiger

[grizzled yarrow]

Allies guarantee everything 🥀

[untold cove]

man the guns allow you to build custom ships and adds more naval operations and more focuses

[untold cove]

then fight them too

[grizzled yarrow]

Im not at that level

Idk how to even use navy

[lapis onyx]

ye i previously played pre mtg it seems parodox only makes dlc free when it becomes nescarry for a future dlc

[untold cove]

i didnt play china before tbh

[lapis onyx]

i dont think anyone does.

[tiny iris]

Guys, I just got invaded as the USA.

[untold cove]

my play time entirely consists of german reich and turkey playthroughs

[lapis onyx]

italy here

[untold cove]

fun country to play as

[lapis onyx]

and a bit of manchuko

[tiny iris]

I put all my troops in Japan.

[grizzled yarrow]

Ok il prob js gang up on ussr kill germany and see if i can get anything in europe

[tiny iris]

Oh no.

[meager valley]

Turkey is so mid 😂

[lapis onyx]

when i realized i was NOT skilled enough

[tiny iris]

ncjincf

[quasi osprey]

is this an ok percentage?

[lapis onyx]

to do that one acheivement

[untold cove]

try to deploy trash divisions to protect homeland

[tiny iris]

Ew, a bad HOI4 player.

[grizzled yarrow]

Sick man of europe

[untold cove]

or race to their capital to capitulate them

[untold cove]

nah that was ottomans in kaiserredux

[tiny iris]

I scrapped my entire navy,

I can't naval invade.

[untold cove]

why

[tiny iris]

Because I hate navy.

I once had a dream that it killed my pet.

[untold cove]

it has fun focus trees

[tiny iris]

A navy ship once shot my dog.

[meager valley]

Not really, most begin around 1940-1942

[tiny iris]

Now I am a navy hater.

[untold cove]

then how did you get your men on japan

[tiny iris]

@old palm, your stupid.

[meager valley]

Would rather play countries that actually have early game content

[tiny iris]

See, I even insulted someone due to being named admiral.

[untold cove]

you can always collect balkan and middle eastern countries until then

[tiny iris]

China.

I go through China.

Reinforce them.

[meager valley]

Ah yes, collect Balkan countries. All of which have gaurantees by majors who border you

[untold cove]

no?

romania guarantees both greece and you, they wont declare war on you if you declare war on greece

grab bulgaria before they join axis and voila

[meager valley]

Okay and I can just play Greece and form Byzantium. Way more fun

[grizzled yarrow]

I mean in the late game only comintern and allies are a threat and yk how fighting late game allies feels like

[untold cove]

bait used to be believable

[meager valley]

It’s not bait, Turkey just isn’t a very fun tree

[untold cove]

aight have fun

[meager valley]

Legit only reason ppl like it is bc Turkish nationalism

Which you have 😂

Majority of the people ever hyping up Turkey in HOI4 are Turkish

[untold cove]

there are youtubers who play it

[meager valley]

YouTubers also play Luxembourg and Tanna Tuva. Doesn’t make them good countries to play

[grizzled yarrow]

Ok time to spin a wheel to see if im going to play either germany brazil or china

[meager valley]

Which China

[grizzled yarrow]

Nationalist

[untold cove]

comparing luxembourg and turkey is wild work bro

[grizzled yarrow]

(its alr painful enough im not adding more salt to the wound playing the other warlords

[meager valley]

Saying a country is fun to play bc YouTubers played it is wild work bro

[untold cove]

it is fun to play because i like playing it

which you do too as greece

or any other country

it is fun if you like playing it

[grizzled yarrow]

And its china great

Never played china before buttt how hard can it be

[untold cove]

might try china next

[untold cove]

dont pick khotan ma

[meager valley]

Turkey isn’t fun imo because you have to effectively go through like 10-20 worthless focuses before doing anything. Every time you play it, you have to do the same ones.

It’s repetitive and boring early game

[untold cove]

yes, there are a lot of 70 day focuses

[meager valley]

You have to go through like half the tree before getting to focuses that would normally be the starting place of normal trees

That’s slop gameplay

[untold cove]

but early game is to prepare your country for war, if you go fascist or communist it unlocks way more early

[grizzled yarrow]

As turkey u either blitz through yugoslavia or u lose it which is an important country ig

[untold cove]

conquering yugoslavia is a major skill issue

[meager valley]

Legit can’t reform ottomans till like 1940+

[untold cove]

which i cant

[patent thistle]

Battlefront 2 is goated and you cant change my mind

[grizzled yarrow]

Ok uh any tips for china

[untold cove]

country is fresh out of the war and doesnt have an economy, it is only fair that you need few years to rebuild

try having more outside help

[safe wing]

Which one?

[patent thistle]

uh, battlefront 2? like the game battlefront?

the starwars one not battlefield

[meager valley]

Ngl Guandong/Guangxi have a surprisingly strong starting position for China. Decent industry, manpower and resources. Can unify them then help Japan invade China and annex most of China

[safe wing]

The 2005 one or 2017 one

[meager valley]

Easiest way to do Chinese empire imo

[grizzled yarrow]

afghan wouldve been fun if only i played nonhist

[patent thistle]

both are great

[grizzled yarrow]

kinda looking to play nationalist china

[untold cove]

does it make you kicked out from saadabad pact

[safe wing]

Agreed I prefer the 2005 for nolstalgia

[grizzled yarrow]

uhhh not rlly

[meager valley]

https://tenor.com/view/sisyphus-rock-mp4-transparent-color-gif-11114772717737196968

Average nationalist gameplay

[safe wing]

Also my favorite Star Wars campaign ever

The rise of the empire

[grizzled yarrow]

cant be that bad ur a big blue country what could go wrong.

[patent thistle]

2017 is the one i enjoy so i get the nostalgia on my 2014 xbox one again

[meager valley]

Infinite naval invasions

[manic iris]

guys is dividing my country in these parts efficient

[grizzled yarrow]

well theres 1 good thing about it

u veryyyyyyyyyyyyy slowly chip away the japenese forces

[untold cove]

they are your puppets

[safe wing]

https://youtu.be/2lgG2ENW5Ac?si=Emu6d56mXndHiYlB

I get chills everytime I watch this

[untold cove]

they are technically not your country but their leaders are under your command

[acoustic wasp]

does anyone recognise what map mod this is?

[patent thistle]

my highest level role is heavy trooper lol

[safe wing]

The fact they showed clips from the movie when you first load up the level

[manic iris]

'is it worth to do that or just keep as 1 piece

[untold cove]

up to you, keeping it in one piece increases your manpower in garrisons

[meager valley]

Meh

[untold cove]

if you can manage, why not

[safe wing]

Here’s the version with the movie clip at the start https://youtu.be/j-1O2gNyfk8?si=hDDt8uxd9jImyTSS
@patent thistle

[manic iris]

any downsides

[safe wing]

It hits much differently

[manic iris]

do i still keep the factories from it n stuff

[untold cove]

i dont really know benefits of puppets, you can call them to war with you too

i honestly keep it in one piece

didnt really had downsides

[manic iris]

okay

[honest glacier]

u get like 50 or 75% of their factories

and some manpower

[floral vapor]

My power went out

[manic iris]

guys after i do the molotov pack, how do i put it in power like how do i get ussr to help

[safe wing]

Kill zombies to get points too buy better guns perks and open doors

[ripe slate]

You cant in vanilla

[brittle cypress]

You want them to help against Poland?

You can’t ^

[manic iris]

why is it a decision 😭

why in the HELL is it a decision

[brittle cypress]

What

[ripe slate]

Wdym

[brittle cypress]

Send screenshot

[safe wing]

@tulip thorn he didn’t get the reference

[ripe slate]

Its only a decision in Road to 56, in vanilla theres nothing

[brittle cypress]

That’s a focus

[ripe slate]

^^

[manic iris]

oh im sorry

yea a focus

why is it there if it wont work

[brittle cypress]

It does stuff

You split Poland with the Soviets among other things

They just don’t help

[manic iris]

rip

ah i regret getting this stupid puppet

[untold cove]

i honestly dont understand why would you do molotov ribbentrop pact

i aint giving poland to soviets

[safe wing]

It’s a canon event bro

[untold cove]

not if you pick von neurath's concerns

[manic iris]

i literalt get clapped every time if i dont

[safe wing]

True It’s better

[untold cove]

just have an infantry army standing at the border

they can hold the line

[manic iris]

theres like 20 borders i need to cover

[untold cove]

when you are finished with allies you can clap soviets

[manic iris]

france and UK and poland too much

[manic iris]

( if i finish with allies)

[untold cove]

sea lion?

[manic iris]

which has never happend i never conquered UK

[untold cove]

i got you

step 1: make brits or france change ideology via spy agency

they should not be in the same faction

[manic iris]

ok my bad but uh i am pure vanilla

[untold cove]

this is a dlc

la resistance

[manic iris]

i am BROKE i barely bought the normal game for 5 bucks

[tulip thorn]

Tragic

[manic iris]

im guessing you dont have a vanilla plan

[manic iris]

i wish i had it

[untold cove]
