beter than the time i carved french indochina with turkey
non historical is fun tbh
Ah yes Saigon the capital of the German Reich
yeah if half of the world doesn't go commie
give it the 4th china a focus tree of rework USA
Very historicaly acurate
better than the time i had to fight over india with japan as italy
We have to keep reworking China
the border gore was so bad
better than the time japan took norwagian lands
After occupation by Revolutionary France, the 1815 Vienna Congress transformed Luxembourg into a Grand Duchy in personal union with the Netherlands. It was part of France, Germany, and Belgium for some time before ever becoming a country
how tf
Give Mengjiang and Tibet focus trees
so why hasnt it just been absorbed into one or the other at this point?
they kinda all were okay with it existing
What is Genghis Khan doing here π π
Nobody cares about a random city sized duchy
i mean i guess? it just unlike say belgium who existed as a buffer neutral state
but seriously i unironically expect a luxembourg tree at some point
Invade Belgium
so I beat germany but the war hasnt ended cause a lot of players (basically it is an early ww2 in like 1938) and Im playing austria hungary and even thought it said germany capitulated and I got supplies I couldnt carve land and germans still held land so eventually they cored in indochina ig
UK lands 40 troops
and hitler is still alive
that reminds me
Portugal is just so cheesy
me too, but they should rework the US first
map rn
lwk monarchist just mogs Italy focus
Hit Lin Minh city
that milenium dawn sub mod for the 2000 start date still exists ye the one that allows you to basically bring but hitler
cause a luxembourg tree could be funny ngl, give em lots of buffs so they stand a chance against belgium or lets em annex them via focus
if you say remove the congress bit i will bite you
Idek how I got this many divisions
two Vojvodinas π₯Ή
cus im sorry but i want that kept just to show the stupidity of us poltics
nah hahaha, just for the US to have such a standard lame tree is just not cool. They should integrate lots of the internal stuff that took place and better communist, fascist and dixie paths
w austria
Couldnt hhave it any other way
nah bro this is all hungary
What if they became Banat Republic again π
austria did nuthing but sumbit to the referndum like a good little boy
i think focusing on the alt paths should be a given also
give japan the pearl harbor decision again
i miss that
so much
btw all of these troops cant beat 9 ITALIAN troops somehow
over width
and also
Bro is not Isonzo
shhh
one of your generals is over the limit
the AI is so stupid nowadays πΉ
soviet wall strat
what would to soviet union do
damn ur kinda done for
union of britain W H A T
Noooo Latvia π’
there is two unions of britian btw
AND HIS 5 CHINS
luxembourg carrying
true union of britain lmao
I am thinking of either playing as Nationalist China or Manchukuo next.
Named True like it magically justifies their existence lol
luxemburg was the only country germany sucessfully invaded btw
Play as Manchuria π£οΈ
germany failed invasion of lithuania dawg π
btw i HIGHLY expect them to eventually just make a egypt puppet country eventually
so all the women can sterilize the german officers
brilliant plan
Lithuania somehow took kaliningrad bro
I like how the USSR compensated by taking Prussia
warning bar btw
idek why they got that they litterly did nothing
the wolf does not concern himself with such things
I will be back in 30 min and show you my perfect invasion of italy with no fuel, manpower, or equipment
You're producing old equipment π₯Ή
but I also have more division with the soviet union somehow
The Battles of the Isonzo (also known as the Isonzo Front by historians, or the SoΔa Front; Slovene: soΕ‘ka fronta) were a series of twelve battles between the Austro-Hungarian and Italian armies in World War I mostly on the territory of present-day Slovenia, and the remainder in Italy along the Isonzo River on the eastern sector of the Italian...
All to make a lame ahh faction called the British communist alternative btw
I'm making cupcakes again
sharing is caring
this is also one of my first few games btw so I am not even looking at navy or air for one second
probably dosent matter right
π©

Non historical
Non-historical

Sure, pray that Japan goes for the Miyazaki incident
I saw the ai japan get obliterated by a manchuria going independent after it went communist
Sweep Japan
What did I do to deserve this
Manchuria spamming Divert Machine Tooling 30 times until it becomes a major power
OH GOD MIYAZAKIS GONNA TURN MANCHURIA INTO A TOXIC SWAMP?
Just look to the north
Consecrated Snowfield ahh
Go for Two Emperors Manchuria
Btw i remember years ago but wasnt there an event for amelia earheart becoming a ace
yup
Ive never heard about that but if thats true thats the sickest thing ever
WHATTTT
yeah it was possible or still is idk
I forget if you had to be soviets oor usa
usa
requires Earhart to survive her world flight (which is a 50/50 RNG roll) and requires the US to be at war
Yeah I BETTER win this now
Holy over width
Bro
Ancient China ahh fight
Holy shit
I've broken into ur place
Put down your divs my man your supplies
He shared a screenshot earlier
Theres no amount of supply hubs and railways
That can help with that
not true...
My name is Homeless

that I am aware of
any tips for getting unconstipated?
move to Tennessee
Play as Gansu Ma in non historical
not true
Yest true
uhm no
id genuinely rather go through every level of dantes inferno
that should also work
might take this into consideration
Whats the best meal you can cook
AHHHHH i just got a MEAN calf cramp
prob some good ole Cajun
i feel like if really good cajun was served to every evil person in history they would all have all grown to happy jolly lads
Zero debate
I love cooking it
also showed u some in food channel
it looks REALLY good
Happy late Birthday!
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY!!!!
Its frustrating too because i swear i had fixed it before
The only other time i crashed was when i dropped 5 thermos on a democratic germany out of pure hate and spite
At the same time
latvian military directorate
so peak
π₯Ή
favorite nation
favorite latvia path
if there are no latvian military directorate fans, i am dead
I'm the first one.
and so would you be, i tseems
I'm the first Latvian Military Directorate fan!
Yes you will love and enjoy this game π₯°
what achievements should i do?
As Tannu Tuva annex the soviet union π₯°
^
like this one?
I loved doing this one back then
Really calmed my nerves
i think i did that one on accident since it was so easy
it was really boring
Fking UK died 10m but still have so many stability and war support
Yeah same
I was like woah that was easy
Oh it for sure was boring
The cobalt sea
whats the best country for learning navy?
im not waiting until 1956 to do one achievement
why would you learn navy
just kill france or uk and you'll have the navy you need
Australia
Navy give happy like target destroyed in wt
It's so much fun 
π
Yeah american
happy as happy birthday daniel, of course.
Into task forces for specific jobs
no ur right
Theres still a bug where sub concealment doesnt work ?
Personally i like having a main fleet with my dreadnoughts and some carriers and then another for ASW with heavy cruisers, escort carriers and destroyers and then another destroyer force for minelaying/sweeping
I just want to Sealion the UK as France
No actually that got fixed and you basically need sonar 4 and ground radar to detect them
they sound awesome then
Oh build some more dreadnoughts and mabye a carrier with some light cruisers and you'll melt the royal navy
10 bbs and 2 carriers properly screened will make the royal navy quake in its boots
No I just built light cruisers the whole game then stole the Italian and German fleets
nah guys the best ship to build is obv pre dreads
@patent thistle quit being a bad influence
FRENCH pre dreads to be specific
does anyone know what the zombie mod is called is tommykays zombie video?
someone fell for the zombie slop
why
Dont listen to them they'll tell you to build fr*nch pre dreadnoughts
cheap
The french didnt even have good dreadnoughts till almost ww2
So how do I defeat Japan as nationalist China before 1941
The floating hotels
I can never do it and I always need the Allied AI
tumblehome pains
console
delall jap
instantconstruction
build a ton of ships
have fun
probably going to be paradrops
I donβt know how people do this before the allies get involved in killed Japan
I just want the peace out if you push them out of continental Asia
is there hope?
I've survived a similar situation, but it wasn't 2 flanks
which doctrine is best for germany singleplayer base game
What do you plan to use
lots of tanks and moblised inf
Mobilized inf? Dang
i meant
Assault inf is always a good choice, but mobile infantry could be potentially useful
alr
Since you are using motorized inf for some reason
Tank doctrine could be streamlined deployment or armor spearhead for larp
i meant trucks and mechanised inf i. my tank divs
Operations could be mission-type tactics, deep battle, or grand assault
Mission type is the larp choice and grand assault overall is good
what about arty
Probably field engineering
ok ty
Self propelled
Unless you use SPGs, then self propelled
Cuz you're making spgs/TDs if you want to main tanks
Or you just larp and use regular tanks anyways
IE/self propelled support/streamlined/grand assault
If you use TDs in MP you can use the TD subdoctrine
The larp choice is mobile infantry, self propelled support, armored spearhead, and mission type tactics.
Good? It is good enough, but not the best
We all enjoy larping
How about the historical-lite choice
we're still alive gamers
What if you attack from the east tile and try to push the port. Select some divisions and make a frontline and plan to get planning bonus
my units got like 66 soft attack they are not doing allat im barely holding my line
Nevermind then
Guess you wait for the japanese
they went the dont invade china path
hoi4 is not an accurate representation of ww2, if you want that go play hoi3 or bice
I said historical-lite
i mean if you want to lose as germany you can play historical π€£
But I win with those doctrines (because I play singleplayer)
alf landon what did you do
mao sold me and i lost
mao tse-tung tung tung sahur or whatever his name is
Look at his chisled jawline
nothing ever happens o'clock...
girlish wrists
i already loss core territory can i retake it
I'm trying to get no step back achievement
And i thought Japanese won't invade me
So I didn't not move troop to their border
And they got Vladivostok now
who?
Dont click on this if any children nearby, VERY GORY
Not the worst
it's just that BT-7
Yo does italy look different to anyone else today?
is this great replacement theory?
wdym it looks awesome
so gore looks awesome to you smh
that picture is disgusting and i hate it
austria was always better german state
prussia better
north german confederation would be better
prussia sounds cooler that doesnt
it really doesnt
yk what sounds cooler?
holy roman empire
even tho its name isnt true
so you're saying
not holy not roman not an empire πβοΈ
north german confederation
ik i said the name isnt true
peak irony
out of all the countries you could've said
it just sounds cooler
yo shut up bro
no bro
just give bavarians independence already
"i think the kingdom of wurrtemberg sounds cooler π€ "
sounds better than north german confederation
really doesnt
you're more biased than me
hating just to hate btw
sometimes people shouldnt have opinions
smh
so you are saying you want to oppress others?
yo, we're talking to talk
you are
im being ragebaited and i dont like it
not even ragebaiting you
yk what you are just like my other friend
anytime i say something he doesnt like he says im ragebaiting him
can you convert 1936 fighters into 1940?
it does it automatically
ok ty
No
1936 cannot turn into 1940 of anything
Gun/ship/plane/tank. None of them can go from say basic to improved
in order to convert something from one design to another they need to be of the same chassis
eg 1936 CAS canβt become 1940 cas nor 1936 fighters, and a 1940 medium TD canβt become a 40 SPG nor a 41 TD
Absolutely
im sorry but I need to understand something but is the game activly giving you enemies? cause I start a single war with usa as king uk and suddenly when us is on deaths door commi mexico declairs war france switzeleand italy belgium+ join italian faction for some bullshit and now I have red germany as my ally
lowk what does coordination and initiative do
initiative gives more reinforcement rate so they get in battle faster
or thats coordination idr
Why would you let someone else be your ally?
coordination is how much a unit will focus an attack on a single unit in a battle instead of multiple units
probably sounds confusing and i hope it is
idk how else to explain it
I needed the meat
ha
Initiative adds reinforce rate by a few percent which is near useless, adds planning speed which is useless, and adds damage concentrated to one unit by 1-2% which is near useless. It is a near useless stat
checoslovakia just declaired war on germany and joined italy germany was already barely holding now Im going to lose my european hold
Meanwhile damage concentration formula is coordination*(1+initiative) so coordination is very useful
what is damage concentration bro
Damage concentrated on one unit instead of spreading out across units
Yes but not because of initiative
Actually did you read? I said initiative is useless
Armored signal gives you +5% breakthrough and +10% hard attack with TDs if you use the TD subdoctrine which is important in mp
But still you have to compete with the other big five supports
Poland goes hard
oh waitbwhat i thought signal gives coordination
No it doesn't
what are the big 5 i alwqys thoight signal was vital
Med flame light tank recon assault engineer logistics field hospital
But like these are for offensive units
For defensive units you can replace flame tanks with armored signal
Radio tech and completing gbp milestones give extra coordination
thanks brothosynthesis
ok so now the crackers know as sweeden and denmark joined the italion faction and plus brazil is a magor now POOP
oh and usa is getting liberated
20 million lmao
I just wanna rule the world
japan is coming for my ass now but they declaired on france earlier so I was abel to get a non aggresion pack
I feel like a medieval warlord with these borders
Did i get mute because i ask a question in general? Why is everyone ignoring me?
what
Trenches are scary
no
Somepony might get hurt
Who's trotsky in eaw
yeah looks like fun
Who is the leader?
hello yalls
if only it was miss equality herself
chat rate this main template for the first european war (tfr)
take no prisoners kill em all
needs more tanks, spgs and btrs
org is low but im going to fix it with doctrine
where real tank
tanks are too expensive for main template
smh

someone gimme a sheeps mod challenge
If i can end spainish civil war in 1936 invade poland romania and turkey in 1937 invade finland in 1938 loss only 2 general to stalin purged in have german as puppet in 1939 does that make me a pro player?

bhutan against the world
How do I get more troops to naval
Invade most I get is 4 or 6
ah i remeber the zombie-cide in my bronzehill to WQ Communal-Monarchy Campain
it is to 17k motherships and 45000 max ic '33 strat bombers
2k to 3,9 million
i played with tech extended + buildings, which gib you building where you can get more research speed
bomb bomb bomb the dread league
the issue i have run into is manpower, as 200 million in 1033 is not a lot
@tulip thorn can you send me the βnewβ rosa maledicta portrait in the eaw discord?
manpower 2000000000
there you go
as all the wars have killed the manpower, i only have like 20 states that were untouched
i meant population
?
for my first great war i needed to go to all ponies serve, and deploy reservists as all of the major factions that were still there attacked me at once
the Federation, Phyrwhen, Wingbardy, Republicans
all of them at once
in factions
had like 4-5 million casulties
someone posted it in there a few years back, wonder if you can find it for me
what
All I can find is just fan art
and like the same gif spammed
i think thats the one?
There isnt just one
I LOVE DROPPING 4 DIFFERENT NUCLEAR WARHEADS ONTO "Our Town"
Starlight glimmer didnt like that:
iirc its the side profile one
oh no
4 Trillion Bombs unto the Dread League
uh im looking for the one thats not implemented
we turn the peninsula into a hole
i think that was part of a dev update message?
and ones from months ago have been for the new nations like zongo
Most of that world tension is generated by the Japanese Empire too
another 400 Trillion Pre-Industrial Weapons to the Enemies of the League
Didnt even know what EaW was at the time
i dont know how i got to know eaw tbh
I had first seen it on the workshop
Didnt click it, had no idea what equestria at war meant
Didnt find out for a few weeks after when I watched a video about it
o
hello all yalls

idk
maybe after equus update
All the new teasters are just for equus lol
This one image has me hyped
<@&846894118219022336>
<@&846894118219022336>

lol
hello yalls
Is it ture that Democratic nations will not guarantee the independence of other countries unless the global World Tension is at or above 25%.
any modern mods other than MD?
I'm so tired of it freezing for 2 seconds everytime I open the damn focus tree
i dunno mane
can i force carlists to win spanish cw?

probably
they are not surviving
anybody got a good spaa design?
battle of grozny going pretty well
yeah build an airforce

aa tanks arent good

π€
yo guys can somone buy me rome 2 π π
me too π π
π
so its a yes?
no i call dibs π π
hellnoπ
π
Mr. Mangler:π πΏ
German empire is simply satisfying
European Unity is such an easy formation to do with this run
And you can do the HRE formation too
Just wow π€©
My heart isn't made of iron
ain't it beautiful?
whats the best italy path π
Best is so vague, you'll need to be more precise because there is no best without some objective or base to compare
which italy would is recommended for new players tho cuz im kinda ass at ethiopia so now i can either go down the historical path or get a new leader like the king, balbo or dino
Dino Grandi trust
New player is always historical path, with historical focuses and no manual justification
The game being set on a course allows you not to be caught off-guard every month
if i only knew what the hell are these symbols...
For ethiopia, bring reinforcements from the mainland and attack from both sides
Delete cav and tank divs
Use your bombers on air support mission and pay attention to their range (circle) so they can reach the battles
When you annex the sultanate, use the divs that spawn to attack
do not use 5speed
tank
tank 2
tank 3
smol tank
okay
8 mechanized 4 Main Battle Tanks 2 Motor Artillery 2 SPAA support: AA, Armored Recon, Assualt Engineer, SHORAD, AT, Rocket Artillery

The fuel drinker 2000
but because it's russian it's armor doesn't really exist
expensive
in reaaaaaall mother russia the are divisions with 6 regiments!
you are not reaaaaall russian warrior!
π
what if I told you they got stalinium? pretty strong tank
look at that armor
invincible
120% reliability
This tank is not only reliable on its own, but it can also give you extra parts to fix other tanks.
Improved Smoothbore Cannon, Cold war Ergonomics, cold war tank optics, stabilizer, auto targeting sytem, CROWS, 2nd gen ERA
it looks so good
the stuff that happens to my allies when I leave the front for 2 weeks
yeah
Oh
T
not as good as MD but I can't run it
bruh i can't get my victory superevent
tfr is bugged as hell
what is it
novum vexillum
oh ty
"we ar" π₯
I like how the news bullet is a phone
How do you increase population growth in this game?
You can't
Its mostly static unless you have specific advisors/focuses that boost it
I want to make the USSR the largest producers of babies
And then rename it to the Union of Lovers and Socialist Republics
W h a t
10.67 KD according to google btw
It's gonna have the largest fertility rate ever, ever, ever
10 kids per woman
I wanna imagine the soviet regime heavily subsidizing families
MORE SOVIETS = more manpower
Win win, right?

Imagine that
200 million soviets in 20 years ballooning to roughly over 700 MILLION MORE SOVIETS
You know, you can release ukraine as czachoslovakia in hoi4 and do a world conquest
You cant
Aww
Although
You could avoid going to war
Which will leave more men alive to produce children
Alright I'll do that
But I'll reinforce the border just in case
We already know what happens anyway
And then I can focus on making more soviet babies!
hoi4 is not your breeding simulator wtf is wrong with you
Chat, think about it
So much so that we'll turn the entire landmass of the USSR into a collective orgy union
division from hell
ur weird
Think about it
More babies, wait 2 decades = more manpower
First thing i see entering gen
Ezzz
I didn't make this btw
Hoe much mp does one need
is this good guys?
Minimum of 5 million active soldiers, 100 million reserves
Can't
Why
Germany's a thorn
yayyy
Play democratic russia π€€
i just wasted 1 hour playing turkey to join the allies only for greece to ruin it and make the allies fight me
now i understand their beef
Ooooooo

TFR?

oh wait
nevermind i'm wrong
carry on
π
opportunists be like
My cleanest barbarossa opening yet
around 2.5 million soviets while i lost between 80-100k in the first month or two

wonder if in hoi5 we can have normal loses ratio between countries
pls no 1 wounded soldier vs 300000000 gazillion dead enemies π
hoi5 is a fairy tale
cant blame me, i simply like my big boats with a big gun
also i never said i liked pre-dreadnoughts
i just do it to bully the ai lmao
do you think its gonna be cold war or modern world like 2020
i think uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
i mean
ww2 β π
I'm curious, is hoi5 ever going to be a thing?
yeah no
so long as the game engine still works
yes please
they'll make a new game once they cant keep up with the spaghetti code anymore
in relation to current events that happen wayy to often
Theres been a world war? oh boy i sure hope franz ferdinand is safe!
whats z propoganda?
so we're just gonna keep buying dlcs forever
Lets not discuss the rule-breaking material in here
the meme is gud tho no?
Spaghetti code will return on avengers doomsday
It isnt really a cyclic process
yeah i forgor the part were he comes on an alt
i am paints greatest artist
game gonna end up like payday 2 atp
you mean 3? wasnt tuah decent?
well 3 failed massively and payday 2 is just endless dlcs
browski, the art is specificly ass, cause i didnt want to waste much time on int just to get it delyeeted by the mods
my brother in paradox, that is like hoi4 or any other paradox game
endless dlcs are a boon
art comes from heart
art is part of you
art is at least drawn and made with liebe, not made the same way as some individual spamming stuff in off-topic
hawk tuah
lmao
"last warning"
cant argue with mod who uses ai-generated pfp and acts like a chud
also posts ai-generated images quite often too
hoi4 official discord server base stability value drops
@untold cove its funni to ping yee

how ze tables have turned
Gang what is this naval invasion the allies are cooking up?
should have I defeated Ethopia as italy by october
my troops slow down
i think its because they are red skull and crate
actually only some of them have the agitated crates
I keep getting events which go along the lines of ; "You are taking heavy casualties. " " morale bad " " the ethiopians are rebelling "
scene straight up from cartoons
Genuinely fr
How do i even do long range naval invasions
HARRASMENT from the duce
You need naval supremacy in every naval province the invasion goes through
But my navy has no range
Hmm
You could make more ranged focused boats ig, or island hop
?
Naval supply hubs
yeah
well don't ever listen to me i'm not a navy guy
hi not a navy guy, i'm dad!
yes
hi dad, i'm ted!
Germany just got nuked
wth im i looking at
Guys

No navy and airforce btw
i belive in you
Okay
πͺπͺ seeking power i killed my brother but without him i am LOST
Brotato ts is so stupid I hate when every game turns into Total war

pac na regule 1, muszis muwic po angielsku
Nice finally someone else building 120 tank divisions
Sounds about right
wtf is this AI division
advanced meta
played EaW for the first time and somehow equestrian ai beat changelings π
what country
Alt hist
it's a 50/50
as germany, how on earth do i invade north america
Huge encirclement i pulled on the soviets with just infantry
i see no issue
The only issue was it wasnβt updated
You can get dutch guianna if you invade them before starting ww2 and use that as a springboard
well its a little late for that
its 1959
If late game you gotta wear them out with subs or something and id start in the caribbean
no i mean crstal empire just encirceled around 1 third to 1 forth of their army
Switch your heavy air doctrine to one of the ocean bomber ones and start pumping heavy naval bombers
it's a strat players also use
the great war is basically supposed to be Germany VS USSR + Allies
it has all it's quirks
Blitzkrieg
supply issues
shit getting bogged down cuz of weather
nngh holy encirclement
equestria losing half the country and then coming back
i only downloaded the EaW for Escalation 84
for some reasons, according to that mode its more logical to build 20 factories in a few days rather than bringing planes and tanks blueprints from earth
well, i was just spectating
i was another country
USSR
