so basicaly
If your country dosent have enough natural resources, or if your economy law (export,free trade, limited trade) is putting more resources to the market, you will suffer a production penalty for equipment in production. You can trade for resources, you let a country use one civilian factory for a certain amount of resource that you wish to trade for. So if i lack idk 19 steel, im gonna trade 2-3 civilian factories with Sweden for that steel
they can just uh
throw bullets
trust
Soviets eating good in his save
i bought some steel
nice
if you go to war against a country, you can of course lose them as a trade partner aswell
thats why rubber is a problem as Germany if you dont build synthetic rubber refineries
Most of the worlds rubber is in the hands of the allied countries in 1939
so keep note of who you trade with
Sweden is a good country to trade with in Europe because they are neutral and have a lot of steel and tungsten
nice
italy moment
yea definitely this, and remember that importing from a nation gives them factories so if you have potential allies, trade with them first
As Germany, Sweden and Hungary are great trade partners. Sweden is neutral and Hungary is your ally. You can get a lot of steel,tungsten and aluminum
and then this can be your garrison
and thailand for the rubber while you build up refineries
True
I try to cap the allies before 1941 so i can prepare resource wise for barbarossa when i do historical Germany
and to not get the US involved
because its annoying
Yeah, that's annoying
cant wait for the aussie dlc to build my dream Australian naval power
im finally doing stuff with navy
would i win this
you should
yes, I think so
ima wait cause i want 400k people in the field so i can puppet bulgaria
make sure to stop exercising a while before you attack, though
How many submarines is enough to impact the axis with convoy raiding?
because your organization is low after exercising
just idk how much I should build
@pine shale yeah, stop the excercise before the war
Otherwise, the Hungarians will fire on your troops while they are still doing jumping jacks
well If u do everything correctly then yes
thanks
i will take my chances then
i think so, its really only Italy with a sizeable fleet in the axis
you should be good
just dont raid shallow waters
that will KILL your subs
if done correctly then yes definitely, but it is quite difficult otherwise
I think if you attack germany the communists should start a civil war in one of your states
oh wait I'm dumb
I thought they were germany
yea 100% you will get civil war
so be prepared
this one so just place troops outside
oh btw, for a better frontline, put the two armies under a field marshall, and then shift click the frontline option with the army group
this will distribute all the armies under that marshall evenly along the entire front
how shallow
basicaly anything that says shallow waters or gives you sub penalties when you look at the type of water
click on a water tile in the English channel for example
thats the type of place you DONT raid
look at the debuffs
Hungary?
Czechoslovakia?
Philippines could be fun too
here it says other ships I am assuming including subs but is positioning more important than visibility
idk what dlc's do u have
oh for submarines, visibility is def the best stat imo
so adriatic sea is good for subs?
why they are not pushing bruh
Honestly paradox really kinda broke subs in the last update
they
kinda half fixed them
but they are still iffy
oh ok then romania,poland,portugal,chile
idk many ok minor nations
any1
your orders might be messed up because i see you have the old frontlines aswell
simply
just delete every order/frontline and assign a brand new one
and then battleplan with your field marshall
shift click the frontline with your field marshall/army group
not the individual army
doing a 2nd try rq
what went wrong?
forgot the civil war
yo i should teach my cat hoi4
just put some strong troops outside nord pas de calais
other then that i almost capitulated germany 100%
@pine shale hows the campaign in Hungary doing?
thx btw is puppet or annex better
wait britian supported me this time
tf
is that possible
depends, but i would Annex Hungary
great just very rare
holy
they will still probably not send much troops
whats the difference
also when you click on your flag, and then on the "ocuppied territories" tab
Set the deafult garrison template as your cavlary template and the deafult law as local police force
Well if you dont want to garrison and save manpower and equipment, you can take their resources and their industry AND then puppet them. But since you dont have the BBA dlc for that special peace deal option
Just annex them
Hungary isnt hard to garrison anyways
its small
grab all the resources and factories you can
or make a garrison template if you dont have one
one cavlary block
thats it
garrisons should be cheap
low equipment, low manpower
garrisons work in a way that they dont exist as divisions you see on the map
Rather, they use one of your division templates and take equipment and manpower needed in the background
out of your stockpile
Its basicaly your police force keeping ocuppied territories in check
whats the best focus tree for british raj
saving private indochina
i was busy conquering spain and forgot that the geacps is at war
with me
Peak war
Did you get convoy raided
How are there even casualties
Ah I see
Should be but you're undersupplied
Maybe due to convoy raiding
im building more naval bases
i have superiority
a throwback to my benelux war
poor italian navy...
I wonder where it is..
this good gng?
question, whats the most factories you guys have gotten by mid 1939 as germany before the war starts historically?
150
well
you didn't get leningrad 🙁
several hours went nowhere
but yeah
damn
but i will take in peacedeal
is 220-230 good
like
whats the absolute max u can get
your war against the soviets is basically over
That’s good
rip men
yeah about that much
ouch
220 iirc
But you should worry about production not factories
trying to see how many i can get
i really wonder if theres a way to get 250+
Maybe??
like what
Extreme cheese
How much equipment you can produce which is why it is ideal to build mils 3.5 years before war
oh okay
whats ideal number of mils
or mils to civs ratio
0civs to 1 million mils
No one cares about that
You build mils 3.5 years before the war to maximize production
okay
I think Italy is struggling a bit
Stand still gng
How did so many countries stay historical
all
yeh
Get collabs
iam
I usually start them early game
So they're finished by when I actually need to cap them
are 264 of these divisions as the soviets enough to stop the germans? I got 24 more queued up
its oct 1940 rn
GERMANIES FAILINMG
someone wanna play
wonder how this is gonna go
actually, should I add support AA?
aa
yeah.. I just thought of that
but I still have a year so I should be fine..?
dont use line arty
U must add logistic and recognition company
add 3 more divisions if ur going defensive
of infantry
and yeah go logistic if youre gonna be stacking divisions
With dutch east india company are you supposed to focus on trade?
I aint wiining this
why not
Bruh
Germany loosing
what are you playing as
nah
its been a year i bought this game and i still never leared how to play
just go defensive as germany
so whos teachinnng me
i sweden
logistics companies on infantry divs?
fallback line near moscow
im sweden
I mean I get the idea but
if youre going to be using 264 on the german border yeah
let me check the cost
oh right
I didnt even research them
and recognition company
tf is recognition company
recon prob
why are none of my troops
u must have coordination and good suminister
leaving the dock
red seas
how do i fix that
but Im not gonna add AA, engineers, support arty and logistics companies to my infantry
thats
expensive
navy
ur the soviets and you have a year
Not intiated
also yeah just skip recon
how do i initiate it
The arrow button on the army
I got 93 mils
how
I overthink lmao
is it 1940??
yeah
so build railways and fortress
dawg holy civ greed you shouldnt be building civs after like 1937
especially as the soviets
how many civs did you build
I barely built civs
i dont know how to do that
I got 71 civs
wow
Sometimes I build them almost to 1938
mainly from the ones I start with, the baltics and my finnish puppet
why
ok then what on gods green earth did yo ubuild to where you only have 91 mils
idk
infrastructure on high building slot provinces
then mils in them
huh
isnt that.. normal?
to boost construction speed
no
especially as the soviets where most provinces are like 2/5 you dont need to build full infrastructure first its rarely worth it
unless its like high resource too
I built infrastructure where it got 8 or more slots
does anybody know how to initiate it
Hot historical take Attila the Hun is overhyped
above your commander
click the arrow
Oh i need naval supremacy
Yes
i have no clue how to do that so
yes, thats what we told you
NAVY
Use your navy
He lost to a dying western Roman Empire and the Visigoths in Gaul and got bribed by the pope
im carrying the germans
yeah its got enough reliability
Celestia and Luna
How wholesome
how much core pop u have
i remeber the nordics to have like 15 m united

my allies aint helpin
That's sad.
britian getting 30% war part while having 3 troops on the land
navy/air participation
yep
ye
The 1 man invasions.
thats the funny thing about britian
lol
why is the wiki so outdated flagwise
HOI4 can cause me insomnia.
unitary canada's modern flag litteraly does not exist on the internet
we only need stalingrad and they aint taking it
It sounds like puppet is better
Why
I used to play gmod 10 hours a day bro if that makes u feel better
13 hr's a day on RavenField.
well thats not health
y
what
isnt that like battlefield for kids
how do you spend 13hr a day on it
Basically but I just like seing the blobs.
yea but those times are over 
I play HOI4 prob 8 - 14 hours.
dont you have school or work
When I'm not playing Raven Field or Operation Harsh Doorstop.
Nah unemployment at it's finest.
bruh its not worth it
😭
Aint no way. 99% taking stalingrad. Allies: im alright
Idk what that is
no alcohol
what pills
I don't know how to describe it.
Can someone give me a run down whats a general good area for certain captial ships production cost wise? like at what point is it too high to bother
Umm
trying to git gud
THEY CAPED
use words from the english vocabulary
and is it worth while to use older models of ships ie basic and improved destroyers?
just for cost cutting?
define schizophrenia in your own definition

Yeah.
thats uh... anxiety with a pinch of adhd
Sometimes I do hallucinate.
absolute cinema
one of my dreams is to one day be able to get that one finnish acheivement
the one where you never lose cores
but unfortunatly it still eludes me
eh
ain no way. why is prussia here
imagine living here
btw that hack is tldr a sleeper virus
That was quick lmao
aye if they msg or appeal yall do understand that hack is very... uhh hidden
like you dont even know youve been hacked
theres a video somewhere explaining it
honestly you just stopped so many problems in 70 years i like to defragment russia in my games
ie
yugoslavia
but a bit less explodey
also i have a question would it be on point to name my british super battle ships and battle cruisers after the arthurian legends?
i made my super carrier and named it the Merlin class
because chucking planes at a problem has to consitute as casting spells ye?
yo rate this template
main template for the first eu war
im not going to build an airforce
very nice space program
tfr mod^
uh whats the premise of that mod i forgot
Average hoi4 playthru
There aint gonna be a plane flying
eu is using airforce
a bit but they're using
I wasnt out achievement hunting but I got this one so yayy
Only true swede knows this one
I live close tho this one irl
actually not a bit, they make full use of aviation
I think and hope the Title of this is a Reference to the Sabaton Song "Uprising"
yo, have all heard about solar nations 2, its hoi4 and stellaris
the schizo mod
is this cooked
i spent 10 years in twr
and when i was close to finishing my last tree i used the console to invade romania(which had all of the balkans) and italy
why is bro black and white 😭 🙏
what is the full version of twr
then why soviets exists
their borders are no different
im ussr
i started with 2 provinces as zhukov
and i gradually took over everything
i meant germany's
wym
and their borders are same
how do they start
want a screenshot
sure
let me reopen a new game
Couldn’t afford a full color portrait
im the thing i circled
or atleast i was at the start
but i just mogged everyone and won
reichsprotektorats
I think so yeah
i mean italy and brits are still standing
no i mean wouldnt they go down too if big h won the war
oh it is a specfic timeline
the entire british army dies in the encirclement in france
and britain surrenders in like 40-41'
my beautiful turkey is still standing, bastion of democracy in europe
real
and how are they not invaded after that
We here larp instead of meta game
in 1948(so 3 years after the war ends) hitler falls into a comma
so before he can do anything he almost dies
he wakes up but the economy is in ruins
awww
so germany is paralyzed
economy of conquest is NOT for beginners
then in 53' he dies
for real bro
what was hitler gonna conquest once everything was conquested
im surprised you havent heard of twr
greater germanic nation of german people they said
well its thousand week reich
i dont use any mods
thousand week reich 😭 🙏
1000 hours reich
Steam workshop is quite helpful for that
well
U can go into files
mods are fun
and i am still not a real one at vanilla game
Wait until u play the game a lot more
i still havent made my first world conquest
And u didn’t solve the question I gave you yet
I haven’t yet either
Gotten close but my save corrupted
exactly except of game is unplayable after you take out 2-3 majors
i never got a save corruption
but game lags so bad
165 days to justify war goal
bro just let me have at them, why do i need war goals
Ah yes let’s do that a dozen times
i wish there was a button when there was no major nations left
"all out war": allow you to unite the world under one single flag
basically declare war on whoever you want
aura filled encirclement
once again, sigma is surrounded by betas
Dont worry my troops we will nuke the shit out of this bastards
Sir u need division strength
Sir u need supply 😭
im in the process of building supply
im making naval bases
and i pushed out from just one province in champa
i dont think japan has any supply either
I cant build supply and i dont need supply they hold out perfectly
tank divisions with no tanks in them
u do need supply, check the penalties u get for not having it. also u dont need to build it just capture theirs and connect the railways
Interesting
anyone got an explanation for how theres a little french guy in the sahara?
poor guy got lost :(
fun
He forgot he isn’t in Kaisereich
The armour to infantry ratio is way off, medium 8 tanks, 9 mechanised and 1 tank destroyer of some sorts is the meta. But with heavy tanks the TD is not really needed ofc
i didnt know this tile was reachable
allies are starting to recover east africa, hopefully they dont totally crush the axis before my eventual backstab
im probably not going to fight the allies as vichy france (the us is in there, thats scary)
so backstabbing the axis after crushing GEACPS is the next best thing
and ill get the perfidious albion achievement another day
probably as normal fascist (lame) france
the enemy of my enemy is my friend
theyre in the axis btw
literally a better ally to hitler than petain, they even joined in on the war with britain
bros were so fed up with fascism they ran to desert 😭 🙏
Least cursed france
those mfs:
do not
:>
lets not do that indeed
Well to me you are tic tac now
im gonna call you t
alright big C
we'll see which of us lose their nickname first
can i call you ta
ok case
That must make you C2
I know but they hold out and nukes will make the breaktrough possible
better days are coming
i gave them 10 million manpower and infinite weapons
im spectating
I just had the stupidest crash out.
The Philippines gave Eisenhower fast planner instead of thorough planner
My larp is shattered
Why is france france in this game
how did general macarthur become the leader of the us 💀
With that mauricio guy ruining every game
Playing historical or ahistorical
He can run in the 44 election
Or it is the US civil war
im starting a new play session of german reich
and this time i will complete my world conquest
for both of us @sudden thistle
did i cook when making these borders?
what do i do better
dont annex anything that isnt realistic
so do like imperial borders at most
whats the map mod
fair enough
kaissereich style map
so less guys in the balkan, less direct german control in the east
yeah imma do another game
and use irl borders for ur puppets
oh and to color the puppets
instead of giving stuff away for free
im playing redux rn so im interested
its colorize
oh right im a european country
they can only do that to africa
ty pookie
why does italy not have actual models for jets
like i spent all this time researching jets just for them to look like propeller planes 😭
Hey, I got 2 civilian favorites, 1 is for consumer goods, 1 is free, why can't i use the free factory to build a new military one?
Italy ceased to exist after 1943
yeah and i can also invade all of the mediterranean sea and form the roman empire and i dont see the roman empire on the map so i think they could have added jet models 💀
they have 2d art of it
just not the model
No man Italy stopped existing you don’t understand
As a unified nation yeah
spirit jets
Those also stopped existing like 2 weeks ago
yes so they can build them
Not true
They are still there
Nope, raptured
Nooo
If a soldier retires he was still a soldier
You don’t understand the Italians were eaten by the earth itself
Sorry I didn’t realize
It’s ok… just remember to honor them
Order some Stromboli tonight
And give it to the dogs?
No
ive never seen war support that high
As who, Germany?
non aligned germany
during the last game i was playing uk and the host (GERMANY) won but only now i understand why
he cheated for all the game the host was @tulip flare
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooobbbb
i didnt do anything to increase it though
focuses
not even
yes?
Hey, for a beginner (with 400h, yeah i learned nothing for 200-300h) what mod is the most fun to play ?
the fire rises
for a vanilla+ experience go with rt56 got some good ahistorical paths
i've heard alot yeah, are there new "advanced" mechanics or no, and does it need dlcs? (got none)
yeah u need the dlcs
keitel gets the honor of leading the danzig city police
It seems very hard but idk never really tried so i can't tell?
only improves gameplay
still playable without?
well nah shit sherlock
Okay okay
always the french to never garrison their german border
Yoink

2 combat width
whats the purpose of it tho
to be the danzig city police
WHATS WITH THIS ENTIRE SERVER AND EVERYONE BEING DOSHES
free garrison div
shit is WW2 movies off topic here
best division to end resistance?
big ass calvary with mp
danzig city police trust
sounds like someone is projecting
SHUSH CHILD
that's what I was doing like 20-25 width cavalry with MP but like I think it didn't work
because I messed some setting or some shit
did u do martial law?
Yeah
use spies to root out resistance
first gold medal yippee
looks like i was correct
IM ABOUT TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW IN THIS SERVER TO ROOT OUT ANY IDIOTS
0/10 ragebait
brother I'm super new to the game chill
is that supposed to be a joke?
is bro new
Im not joking
this mf gng
wiped from the internet
whats ur best infantry division? and like do U change original templates at least at the start of the game or duplicate add new ones?
listening to a new 5fdp song while i watch this noob talk about ass
change at the start
lowkey for me
engineer
support artillery
field hospital
logistics company
then
3 infantry
and no organisation?
flame tank
genuinely busts my economy but if you put the right infastructure in place its a beast
LINE ARTY?
yessir
trust bro im the next napoleon
heavy tanks are a waste
shit I did like 30 width infantry w support art, engineers and like 2-3 line artillery
wait until he finds out about superheavy
@limber pelican bro just do the reg 9 block of infantry and add some support companies
w Germany
bet
sweet jesus bro
and basically for attack build tanks and flamethrower guys?
i like support AA, support Arty, field hospitals, flame company, and signal company
Why signal and not supply?
now featuring not one but TWO fire barrels to roast enemies! - canadian designer to their general
logistics is kinda optional imo if u have good supply
if u do have bad supply then id sub it for support AA
I'm planning on tour de Siberia or something
yeah sub AA for that
@upbeat tundra tank division template?
good borders?
NSB or not
all dlcs everything
rate my spg twins 🥴
I know a guy who knows a guy

The war against France started in 1941 and with the USSR started in mid 1942... it's now december 1944 and we're entering the third winter
I'm getting 1812'd hard in Spain
And Italy is getting screwed so much I'm giving up defending the south from naval invasions
bro just building shi
The taco bell near me is always playing some sort of kpop its weird
It bops though so w/e ig
never been to taco bell ever
You're missing out
Quite possibly the best american invention to date
thank you america
I hope you get some taco bell sometime
ill put it on my bucket list
weirdest encirclement i ever got
what
invading the usa like that turns me on
and how tf did you take mexico
they thought joining allies would be a good idea
it wasnt
personally i never used mech bricks only to do a world conquest so
im gonna strike monroe at his very home
but that way of invading the usa turns me on so Hard
AND PRESS N
AND ARE THOSE MECHANIZED
i like nights
when I did it as japan it was so fast
that was what she said
kinda wanna find a mod to play but idk
do want a friend to play with since my friend usually has to go alot
they are perfectly capable against ai as 16w bricks
dont yall love when you will invade a country and britain gets 69% of the warscore because they destroyed the navy
i was getting like 3k defense which is pretty insane for a 16w
uhh lemme load my save again
it was a very weird game tbh
i let no one in my faction other than like reichkommisariats
(looked at tno and it had a fricking economy)
built 0 tanks except flame tanks
bro
and just spammed mech cuz funny
did austria just reverse anchluss
a
poland
bleh
yeah im never playing japan again
nga how the hell you get 700 on a template that small
thats also what she said
mech
is it that good
mech is the best battalion in the game
might try it
atleast thats what i feel like recently
yall got a mod thats good to play and maybe wanna multiplayer
cuz I aint feeling like playing tfr, md etc
also it helps when most of my generals are like this
bro has so much aura he doesnt even do the focus to get a wargoal
how did you get that general
sis plz
technically he has 14 attack but the cap is 10
tf you mean sis
idek
i just picked him cuz he has harsh leader and briliant strategist
so u just farm attack skill every level up
kaiserredux
idk about kaiserreich
havent play it really but eh
know enough about it
aint a bad mod but
cold war seems interesting but too long
thats also what she said
well i think the new order
im gonna puppet united states just for the fun of it
like u spend the entire game building up to a war that the game doesnt even let u fight
EaW
Why not
like
played it as germany
not bad but eh
not the most fun with scripted mods
and md
sitting for 15 hours in total not straight
doing nothing
"last night japan attacked hong kong"
but manging a reta*** eco
ponies
yeah but the content is good and the mod is fun.
doesn’t seem like a very valid criticism
Yeah that’s Big Sister from the MARESOC path
Where it’s pretty much a pony version of George Orwell’s 1984
js play tno requiem
for russia
Had a fun game as the Republican warlord cliques, good path.
is that tno banged eaw
how to win ww2 as germany?
making the new order in equastira
What? No that’s just vanilla
jerking off
No but there is a TNO path for EaW made by TNO devs
And vice versa
naval invade britain and paratroop into france
april fools content from a time when both were partnered mods
Also I’m going to be real Equus content kind of sucks
ty
naval invade britain and paratroop into france naval invade britain and paratroop into france naval invade britain and paratroop into france naval invade britain and paratroop into france
naval invade britain and paratroop into france
Zebrica is good and Griffonia is where it’s at
naval invade uk before war?
yes
ok
mod?
Not too sure. Found is somewhere else
what
How is this bannable
wheres off topic
there should really be a gamerule that turns off these bullshit anti fun events such as mutinies and strikes
especially because i only seem to get them when i have high war support and when i’m fighting a defensive war
why does music take like 15 minutes to validate
paradox can the next update please make the game fun instead of adding more buggy slop
there are way too many anti fun restrictions in place
guys guys rate my division
Is that... Support.. Militia?
What is that first support company?
i have no idea
RIght..
Why is it mixing regular infantry with mountaineers?
well i dont know
Right..
Bro there IS NO biggest elephant in the room, because the elephant can't fit INSIDE of the room 😭
LMAO
Right, well... I have no clue if this is a joke or not, considering the fact that all that you know about this division is, "It has soldiers with guns inside of it", but uhh, I'll just answer it anyways.
This isn't going through the Maginot Lines if the French has a decent amount of soldiers protecting it, and you shouldn't be doing that anyways, but if you want to, then just use heavy tanks, and 25 combat width is just.... No... It's mixing mountaineer's with regular infantry, it has support... Militia?.. Whatever that thing is, anti tank (Could be useful if it's a multiplayer game, but if somebody is resorting to using their tanks to stop the Maginot Line from collapsing, then they might as well just start building their own little Fuhrer bunker in Paris for when the Germans get to them), and clearly this is meant to be like a somewhat frontline unit but also like a somewhat concentrated one, and this division seems to only really work if you have a good amount of them, and since they're elite, welp.. The rest of your army will be throwing their helmets at the enemy because they don't have any guns.
i mean to his credit he did break through the maginot
Suprising, but if it's dumb and it works, then it isn't dumb.
How's my tank template so far, I'm switching out field hospitals for logistics & may or may not add anti-air, idk yet
If I add anti-air then my org drops under 30
What happened to canadia?
Democratic Socialism has spread to the NA continent.
Then add in support anti-aircraft, and this divsion seems just fine as long as that feild hospital does get removed as you said it would.
30w
motorised
Is it fine to add anti-air even if org drops below 30 then
motorised recon
30 is the bare minimum (For a tank division).
I like the movement speed
Support companies shouldn't decrease organization.
