hope
i was so excited for today!
wating
waiting
waiting
next update is stacked
Biiiiig update

we need a update to the division designer: we need more unit types and templates
Like what
well like a flamethrower section and howitzers
i would love having 700 new battalions which wont matter because they will inevitably be completely outmatched by something similar!!!
howitzers are practically arty
alr
Also flame tanks exist
and inf flamethrowers would be ok ig
i would like to see new support companies like snipers and mortars
Those things exist, they just are a part of the inf division itself
snipers would give a small boost to attack
ok so nothing interesting then
why would volunteers need to be their own battalion
easy to equip and being able to be MASS trained
becus they can be easily trained
normal inf already is arguably
Eh
again
Manpower law = conscripts
Alr
what would they do that is big enough to warrent an entire new battalion
Literally in the name
alr alr
they can be MASS trained
with minimal equipment
theyre basically cannon fodder
but they cost nothing but manpower
alr

how would it be more unique to arty or rocket arty
or atleast some kind of RL units and templates
you can gladly watch a documentory if you want to interact with those things
It's a video game
well BICE does have a lot of new units and templates
or maybe make a mod which adds multiple skins for arty and stuff to have those things
Bice is the definition of bloat
and most of those are bloat
what is bloat
if you can remove something without it subtracting from the game, like having something that is practically the same that's bloat
alr
an "mortar" company which acts identically to an arty company would be bloat
because what's the point of the mortar?
Have fun teaching the AI to use all that stuff
alr
i mean, they wont have to
they would be identical to 90% of things ingame

Im so bad at these even though the audio is perfect
that's why we use the power of online tools to translate it for us
A S H I P H A S B E E N P I C K E D U P O N T H E R A D A R
already translated it in #hoi4-general
that what it translate to
yupp
that was fast
i have no clue how i can do that
Any audio/video editing software will show this
i have no idea how to use any of those
I can't wait for Mass Assault to be completely unpushable with the support company changes
Speaking of dev diaries, we will call you to arms next week for something special… stay tuned, and save the date!
is this dlc announcement?
I mean it's that time of year so probably
scandalous ;)
Next DLC is gonna be stacked if PDX does it correctly
Wait
A ship has been picked up by radar
Is that on referal to the bismarck
Holy
Sweden confirmed you heard it here first folks
It lines up wayyy too much to be false
Oh and all use of Bofors in the DDs didn't make it obvious lmao
one week till dlc release?
why not?
this is just the start of the devdairies
maybe they should stop making so many expensive DLCs and add this stuff to base game
just an idea 😄
Pirate overhaul, tRuSt 
New carribean mechanics
But they do? 
Not as much as I would hope...
Not as much content at all as I would hope
Like c'mon give me something
Well true but stating no content at all is just bs
Imo most minor features and all historical trees for participating countries hould be free
But like designers, spies, probably the expanded designers are extra features
I think stuff like the Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler romance event chain should also be DLC and not free
Yeah like i said
Historical trees should be free
Idk why it's so hidden within dlcs
0.69€ dlc
They are
JUNE 7TH
No way that we are actually getting something useful this early
God Zamn
I’m ready for the dlc
i wanna see a dlc set in the north african front theater
ATTUD TBTH
yeah bros i doubt that u will get a dlc on june 7th, more like a sale
Ah yes, june 7th is right after june 1st
what i said still stands
Nahhh it looks like something in the North Sea
Through a dark winter ig?
Or a storm
Nordics are already practically confirmed
Waiting for Germany
Already released
Sorry what?
Waking the tiger
You consider Waking the tiger addition of civil war tree as a proper deserved upgrade?
I mean for the time it practically was
the whole vid reminds me of the sinking of blucher from king's choice with the boy and the ship, i dont know if this is just me or do others see what i mean?
The japan tree nowadays is also laughable yet wtt still upgraded it
Yes but I feel like Germany and Japan deserves proper rework.
Nearly every pre NSB country does
Yep
Barring like, the netherlands and bulgaria and a bit
I feel like we will get Scandinavia and Germany this time
I doubt they will juat randonly throw germany in it
Plus unless they go the baltics route and share most of the demo/commie/other trees i don't think they will have time to add a wholly new germany either
let's be surprised what will PDX come with
omg scandinavia update confirmed possibly
But if they would throw Germany there as you say, it would make sense to me
Those countries can be thematicly connected
even if they don't do that I feel like outlier countries like those could possibly get updates like those commonwealth focus tree updates they did recently with those "operation something" roadmap thing
Germanic countries, Germany invaded Norway and Dennmark, Germany had trade with Sweeden, Finnland joined Operation Barbarossa
"They traded" is one of the weaker reasons you can come up with
Well, it wasn't just an ordinary trade
They invaded Norway to secure route for trade with Sweden
They traded steel
Wow
They traded a basic metal resource
I think it might be a netherlands rework
Think about it
Germanic countries
They definitely traded
My god, you don't need to agree. I was just saying that it would make sense for me because of reasons that I written
And you just picked one reason which didn't make much sense for you and you strarted arguing
And i am saying that it's either too big of a stretch or can easily apply to other countries
finland i hope
Damn the dev is team is probably watching us debate and toying with us
I am trying to decipher the video description, any clues?
soo probably has something to do with scandinavia + new german tech tree
Well first once was 9th April 1940
The date Unternehmen Weserubung began.
anyone tried playing with the luminosity to look for hidden messages?
09 04 40 can also be the key to decrypt the cipher from the description
but which one?
Maybe new naval coordination stuff?
Absolutely
Alright Bois we need to fuse our brain cells togethor
Despite us not having many due to our overexposure to hoi4
Cipher is morse but could be more than one type of code…
germans used enigma
Good fockin idea?!
too little info to be enigma I think
Denmark and Norway didn’t have time to develop encryption methods
You. Run the message through enigma and I will try see if any Swedish encryption method was developed
im trying
Cause the DLC can’t just be Norway and Denmark
i hope finland is in it too
Would be cool to see continuation war and lapland war
Winter war, yep sounds good
That gives me an idea
@spice oyster @golden mist wanna help us try find the clues in the trailer? 🕵️♂️
sure i will see what i can do
Finland focus tree? Would be really nice
Sorry but i'm not sure if I can do it
My guy it is fine.
I wasn't never really into decryptions 😄
There seems to be a lighthouse in the right corner of the trailer
Any ideas?
I was thinking that too….
Sweden is probably gonna have one, but Finland? I hope they don't forget it
Nah they won’t, Finland and Sweden are too important to ignore
Are the numbers 090440 significant in any other way than Weserubung?
So 4 focus trees? That would be really nice ^^
nah i dont think it is a lighthouse it looks more like a ship something like Blucher which sunk at the start of operation weserubung on 9/4/40 which is the same number on the buoy
not good quality sorry but it looks like the front of a ship
more info June 7th? see what happened on June 7, 1940
I don't know what this brings to the search, but there is additional information
and a year later japan attacked pearl harbour
Well done!
so june 7 is very important
Potentially they are reforming government in exile system!
Finally! i hate this current one
But as for the description, it's an enigma and it says THEREAREMOREHIDDENMESSAGES and
CODEDDATEINCLOSEDGOODLUCKGENERAL
Wait wait
This is the first time paradox has released something in morse
May be an encryption update too!
i don't think so
We can theorize
Japan attacked pearl harbour in December I thought.
governments in exile update, encryption update, too many things in one dlc
no wait your right sorry im half asleep it late where i am in the world, so im gonna leave this with u guys have fun
- some things in dev corner
Don’t worry good luck comrade!
Oh shit! Sweden declared neutrality the same day! And Netherlands died
Sweden also declared neutrality the same day
Takin one or two ideas from a friend here
Yes
So…. What do we have
Okay, so we 100% know that the next DLC will be centered around Operation Weserübung
Yes
That’s affirmative
And Sweden
Probably Scandinavia and the wider Nordic region
xD
same
wait in their instagram posts they got three pictures of morse code and its ,-- ..- -. ./ --.... - .... (sorry if there are spaces where they need to be its hard to to when its split up)
it says june 7th
related to june 7th
it's harder to find a date that is not linked with anything
and battle on midway ends in june 7th 1942
it's buoy
The question is from which nation?
Aland dlc
it's the date of the german invasion of Norway
maybe it is a rescue buoy
devdairies where the hints, yesterday the heavy hinting, and today practically the confirmation
Would they put any in the game files?
as far as i've seen they are all just more confirmations
June 7th last year was when By Blood Alone was announced
the thumbnail! Maybe there's something hidden in the thumbnail?
finally
Yea.... Sure..... Haha
finally
looks like it's just in the correct spot now
the kiel channel is now in the correct spot
finally
and considering denmark will have focuses for schleshwieg-holstein it makes sense to update that state
great!
hope this comes with an IFV designer
look at the kiel icon
its a new one
in that devdairy screenshot
kiel is worth more aswell
hopefully they'll add a north schleswieg province
i still go by my last point
aswell as schleswig and holstein as seperate states
really?
this is just speculation
considering the zone is updated it likely is
austria focus as well?
that wouldnt make any sense
but that would be a huge ass dlc
anyone remember that pink roadmap
considering they update places in regions
yea
that they made
or tied together countries
in 2020
Nordics + Germany + austria????
would be too much
yea i'd like a nordic one
they said much much more once
exaclty
sometimes finland messes up your game too by dragging your allies into a war with the russians before ur ready
xD
and if u dont join u lose ur allies
they said much much more on a dev dairy a while ago
Will we be getting the actual dlc on the 7th or just more news?
more news
i find it highly unlikely to be the whole dlc considering the devdairies
announcement
bruh
not the whole dlc
announcement
they gon publish a trailer for it
still wip an dev dairy's
very WIP
yeah
would be nice to be able to core states
theres no real point to annexing your neighbors cause you won't get cores on them ever
trough decisions
compliance before BBA
late game pol power is too much
but free coring whatever state would just be dumb
yeah
and their population would be reduced as well
yes
because if you're "coring" a province
late game pol use tho
there is no way london would 100% support a fascist indonesian empire that wants to kill them all
xD
um
well if you kill all the anglos
and take the women
the next generation will be indonesian
and they will support you
if germany is getting a rework i hope they will ad more reichkommisariats
and so compliance goes up
YES
timescale is unrealistic within hoi4 and even then you wont get to core everything because you simply run out of manpower eventually
guy
look at you rpfp
stop giving your bad opinions
does anyone remember that roadmap they put out in 2020 in a conference?
it had a pink background
nah
what about generic hasburg branch
even the soviets werent that fast in the biggest massmovement of people ever when they forcifully extorted the germans
Hi everyone and surprise! We just released 1.9.1 to make sure you guys get all the fixes by easter. We are currently investigating some out of sync MP issues that are proven to be incredibly stubborn to nail down, so a 1.9.2 is planned after...
this?
the time is obviously going to be scaled down to fit the game
but regardless
it needs to be implemented
it really does not need to be
if you don't think so you're just not understanding HOI4
was the generic hasburg branch a thing?
theres no reason to annex anyone unless you'll get cores on them
maybe incentivizing your players not to just annex everything is also a good thing
there is no incentive to do that
oh no!
anyways
yea its clear that cores need to be reworked
compliance should be reworked as well
so its harder to get compliance
maybe not
players dont really feel any struggle at all with the garrison system and compliance system
that should be a challenging aspect
i do
why, apart from "i want to", should cores be given for free instantly within an extremely unbrealistic timeframe anyways
i'm bad this game what can i say?
so basically something within this
you dont need to be good to simply have equipment
you didn't even read what i said did you
they definetly shouldn't be free or instant
once compliance in a state reaches 90% you should be able to core it for a significant amount of pp
hmm
the only cost you gave was genocide
sand country pack with free patch
since we know italy rework and peace is alr done
incoming
its scandinavia
and the cost of doing so in such a small time period implies your killing or exiling people from the state, so coring it would result in a loss of population from a state
not only does that reduce manpower, it also reduces how many factories you can have in that state
and manpower is not free
in hoi4 it is
for most countries manpower is a problem at some point
unless you're only playing majors
in which case you suck
and you should quit
unless you are in a massive cope war and never are gonna have any peacedeal untill the end of all the wars, manpower is not a problem
so yes this idea of compliant cores would be a cool system
sorry everything you say is just so not fax
you're a annex all addict
just log off
im literally explaining why i don't annex and ur brain is imploding trying to figure out how game mechanics work
i dont think you are trying to understand yourself so eh
🙂
"necessary "
oh god. please stop
yea necessary cuz it'd make singleplayer fun
the both of you
stop!!
are you playing the game solely for the hope you get to maybe eventually genocide???
cause if it is "to core stuff" that's an even weaker reason to play it
it's hard to understand delusion
and considering you like to unnecessary bash me for my pfp, i'm probably more right because i dont use those weak argument
its not unecessary
good to know mr troll, laters
it ruins your credibility
because it makes you look like an idiot
and your credibility is further ruined by your inability to make any valid points that aren't simple ad hominems
anyways, wondering if the commie and demo trees would be either boring af or have.... actual content
yall think its right?
that sounds like something they would say
guys i think the mystery might be that it is the nordics dlc
especially when you "investigate" the crypted message
i wish i could
we all know
but maybe germany rework too I hope
pls pls pls germany
hopefully there will be a britain rework
its not too bad compared to germany or hungary
seems to be equally likely with these sought out "clues"
how would uk make sense tho?
how would germany make sense tho?
it's one of the most played countries
and since when is that the way pdx chooses which trees to pick next
its enigma, the first line decodes to "THEREAREMOREHIDDENMESSAGES"
and the second decodes to "CODEDDATEINCLOSEDGOODLUCKGENERAL"
ooh could work as well
could it not be Scandinavia?
what are the more hidden messages tho?
it is
i think it means that more will be released as we approach jun 7
finally making denmark surrender after 6 hours instead of fighting
wouldn't be cool if you had six in game hours to do stuff?
"guys i think the next dlc might be the middle east"
heavy water in Norway would also make sense for Germany to be choosen
Which would be connected to wunderwaffe rework
dont think the wunderwaffe rework will come this update
i think all the signs point at scandinavia
with the global market and designers update
could they be deceiving us?
plus support companies soft balance update
wunderwaffes is probbaly a mechanic too much
then all these teasers would be all for nothing
aight guys
ima head out
ima be back later
keep searching for hints!
pdx isnt one to just randomly drops clues, no, confirmations about a region then just randomly pick another
I rly like the changes tbh
Also reduces how effective 10w are
I like it as it's a nerf to org wall/bricks
Yes exactly
It's a much needed buff to offensive units
The game will be healthier with offensive divs being the best defense
Yep. Curious how the meta will develop
Also they made MP useful
Especially for defensive units
@velvet shuttle did you see that?
Sorry got 2 convos going on*
Lol np
Well darn, the video basically says my idea for a Southeast Asia DLC is gone
So it's oof imo
Oof? Good or bad?
I really wish tanks were a little stronger
Or offensives in general
I miss microing to defend
recon now gives tanks more hard attack iirc soo
I feel like +10% hard attack from recon won't be useful
Instead of WW1 crap
Play Ethiopia
Not like that lmao
ethipia in mp 
In mp
Oh, in MP
Yea. I feel like it should increase something else too
Missed the 1st half of the conversation
Wait, armored recon provides flat stats and not really effected by the stats of the tank right? Is the new hard attack a flat stat or a modifier?
Read dev thing*
It's basically 10% to all tank battalions
Which translates to like
6-7% I suppose
As you will have mech mixed in
Well Im oversimplifying
But you get the idea
The mech isn't effected
Although the stats don't really come from the mech
So probably is closer to 9-10% increase
any more clues disscoverd?
I thought maybe it might lead to the nordics. since it is very close to the end of operation Weserübung in june 10 1940
no shit
xD
everyone knows its gonna be nordic dlc + german rework
or something like that
oh
but in the description of the video paradox wrote "THERE ARE MORE CLUES"
ive been waitng for german rework for so long now
honestly after that japan needs a rework
more work in asia would be nice
since japan hasnt gotten its own dlc i dont think
yeah
If the update is gonna be about the Nordics. We need an achievement about the Finno-Korean Hyper War meme
The buoy has the date 09/04/40 on it. Or the date that Germany launched Operation Weserübung (Aka attacked Denmark/Norway)
i know but thx! 🙂
👍
well Norway is somewhat known for their lighthouse but idk
they said three more hidden after being edited
It seems like the watch tower that spotted and sunk the Blücher
At least to me
my money's on that its a nordic update
I think everyone’s money is on that
instant pre-order
when the nordic update comes what countries are left? (that deserve a focus tree)
Liberia 
middle east
Iran
middle east, latin america, oceania
nepal
"latin america"
xD
Counties / areas that need foucstrees : 1. All european nations that dont already got one. 2. middle east.
how about malta?
occupied at game start so those are neglected
albania and luxembourg dont really need them though
after scandinavia, I feel it's better to rework some focus trees instead of making more for countries like saudi arabia etc
what about hoi5?
Has anyone figured out what the cipher on the YT video is? (CVKCXCUGBRALSBMBMHOYCCCKXA
TBFBZFWBPUZBOCBILAMNWZEWADZBRJRK)
now i got a gut feeling germany might get reworked
cuz of operation weserubung
nahhhh
wati
maybe
cuz it only got reworked in waking of tiger, plus it needs a major rework like italy had lol
plus its one of the main causes of WW2, so i think it'll get something inbetween the size of italy & ussr
maybe bigger
oooo, i'd be excited for that
its engima and says "THEREAREMOREHIDDENMESSAGES" and "CODEDDATEINCLOSEDGOODLUCKGENERAL"
me too
though it better include trees for spartacist uprising, democratic germany (with chances of expansion to get lands back as a "Greater Bund"), german confederation or HRE, and the kaiserreich with different states lol
maybe a Rhineland state rework
possibly
so it actually covers france
actually wait
Silly american me was confused b/c I read it as september 4th, 1940
huh?
they'll probably add that
there's different leaders for communist party
one with ussr one not?
ty, I thought it would be a whole ARG thing. a little disappointed ngl
talking ernest thalman, wilhelm pieck, walter ulbricht
i can't wait for june 7th
most euro countries that dont have focus trees dont need one
we dont need a deep ireland, luxembourg, or andorra tree
after the nordic update europe is pretty much fully fleshed out
literally every other euro country has one
Not like that matters, europe is the main theater after all
its the main center for content, yes but hoi has always been advertised as driving any nation through the period of ww2
just because most thing happens in europe or china, doesnt mean everywhere else should be devoid of content
its not like the devs cant do it anyway, the game is currently the most successful pdx gs game rn im pretty sure
Didn't mean it like that, i read it more as "enough countries have trees in europe, no need for more"
Same
I put in September and was confused then I realized
European moment
update map
*to my knowledge
i want both equally
middle east might be fun for Oil related stuff
but middle east would def have more content
SA kinda far away from everything
like they could do a netherlands type deal where you could give more oil to axis or allies
yea honestly middle east would be better now that I think abt it
could also have focuses to bring back ancient empires
Can't wait to have the byzantines join the Allies
wait no
not byzantines
ah babylon
thats what I was thinking of
or persia
Akkadian Empire, Babylonian Empire, Persian Empire
could even add the hittites if you wanted to
who are the Akkadians?
nevermind i was thinking of Achaemenid Empire, but they controlled Mesopotamia
Brazil was more important to allies than you think
yea, there were a lot of Brazilian foreign legions right?
Yes, the expeditionary force
That fought in Italy
And Brazil first was going to join AXIS
was there any significant economic contributions?
like resources
or was it just volunteers
I could say Brazil yes, not just that but medics too, and stratetic points to help USA going to the african continent
Plus Brazil got a lot to join Allies
USA was afraid Brazil would join AXIS
And bring it to the american continent
And the air force helped too
was there any reason for that fear? like was there any signs that brazil would join or was it just preventative?
Brazil was commanded by a dictator, that sympatized with the facism
I just hope the next DLC brings Brazil a focus tree
I think Venezuela would be neat as well.
Ye
man paradox has max 4 more dlcs then all of these countries have focus trees but besides the nordic countries everything else I feel is going to be a hard sell considering the less of a presence they had in the war, but that does open possibilities of rereworks but I don't know if paradox would want to do that since we are already going to be very close to a new game if we saw another 2-4 dlcs.
I tought we would have S.A. this dlc, along with a american rework
But nah 100% gonna be a nordics + germany dlc
And honestly that's for the best because Germany is probably the most important country of Hoi4
yeah, after nordics i see a middle east and then south america dlc then maybe a couple reworks for portugal or some commonwealth countries, then they do bug fixes for a little bit and then retire the game
yeah I imagine after eu5 comes out we will see hoi5 but that's like 3 years+
hoi5 will need be MASSIVE if they want it to succeed, i dont really see a clean slate like the hoi3-hoi4 transition
so it does fit well
If anyone is to lazy to decode paradox's message
hoi5 gonna flop if they just dont carry over the progress
It was: June 7#
i hate to see hoi4 dlc go to waste man
though a lot of quality of life would be great to see
yeah, but on top of that they have to make a good game and add new features, but based on paradoxes track record it could def be a big flop
most recent paradox games have been flops im pretty sure
ck3 sucks, and is mediocore with over 100$ of dlc, and we all know how bad victoria 3 is
going from hoi3 to hoi4 is jarring, and so is release day hoi4 to today
they could pull it off I just don't know what they would do since theres so much dlc now
perhaps they could expand the games time from like 1933 to 1953 or something, and really make the game much less of a sluggish late game issue
but when hoi4 came out hoi was very small, and if it was a flop it wasnt as big of a deal
now hoi4 is their biggest strategy game, that can hit top 10 concurrent players when dlc is dropped and is essentially complete not including the gargantuan array of mods
they said they would consider adding ww1
for the game to go from 1910-1948
that would be nice but that is definietely gonna make the game much more economic because for 10 years you can rely on a focus tree, but 38 I don't know
but i dont see a hoi game lasting that long at all, unless they add different timelines like 1910-1928, 1928-1936, 36-48
or they could do something that isnt ww2, but rather cold war or modern day, which i wouldnt mind
i dont see them adding like a deep economy
but if they do ww2 again i probably wont buy it for awhile, id rather see hoi go to something different
yeah man it's gonna be difficult like Wii to Wii U
Yo we into the South America debate again? Noice
SA could play nicely with new International Market update (tho still a bit unclear and in development)
I can imagine SA Focus Trees where you either get bonus trade with Allies and promote democracy, or similar with Axis, or you promote national industry in a hurry at the cost of stability
Yeh SA seems the perfect place to buy leftover guns or make that themselves but buy specialist equipment from other countries
I know it's some 20-30 years after WW2, but South America countries started buying huge amounts of military equipment from Major Powers during Military Regimes in the 60s and 70s
So I see it as totally coherent behavior from SA
I feel like this update will have something to do with the D-day invasion or The Battle of Midway
Prolly about Scandinavia
In the video, there is a date on the buoy : 9 April 1940. This is the date of operation Weserübung (the invasion of Denmark by Germany)
well I used a Vigenère cipher and found the message in the description has many meaning depending on the key that is used. after looking up the date that is shown in morse code I found that there were two famous battels that changed the course of the war the first being the Battle of Midway, and the invasion of Normandy or more commonly known as D-day
Literally what could they make about those
At the least, what could they make that is so specific the main theme is D-Day or Midway
Germany and Japan national trees rework? 👀
Besides the pretty obvious Scandinavia theme ofc
they may be reworking the navy since no one knows how to use it properly, that and D-day was a navel invasion
I can almost guarantee navy will not get another total rework, and they've basically added about as much flavour to naval invasions as they can
yeah, tbh it wouldn't be a bad idea to offer a simplified navy
I’m sure they’ll rework support companies and add an international market
na if ur focusing on navy and u know what to research its fine
most naval research doesnt take long, apart from brand new hulls
the morse code is JUNE 7TH
whats the type of code at description of morse video?
What if it's a red herring and it's actually September 4th 1940 ?
So what dose the morse code say?
June 7th something?
That something will be announced today and that have more secret thing to discover
Today or other day, I forgor
Paradox better add Christian Frrederik von Schalburg to the scandinavia dlc for denmark
navy is easy
idk how nobody gets it
2
they dont wanna take the time to learn it
i did, didnt know how easy it was to comprehend
Guys new dlc gonna add a new scenario: 13 March 1938 when anchluss occurs! Also added focuses to historical german path. In addition revamp to british and french focuses with historical and liechstien/andorra, vatican, monaco and san marino gonna be added
as representative of the netherlands i would love to know what you're smoking because we have nothing like that here
Bro you are not the latest update stop playing 🫵 😡 🔥
NICE
You know, NSDAP has 90 years anniversary this year so it would make sense to rework Germany this year 😄
I know, this one was harsh
Und
NEXT DLC ???? INDIA - ISREAL???
i said that too!
@solid gyroNo Politics stuff
._.
Nordic Countries
I think
India was already in incorporated in a DLC
long long time ago
Together for Victory adds an ancient tree for it yeh
Which is so bad they should really give it a brand new one
no shit. i was just trolling m8 😂
It's definitely a Nordic dlc
Date on the thing is the operation date for invasion of Norway, the cold harbor probably a reference to Narvik.
Lastly, 7th of June is the date where Norway left the Swedish union.
Are you sure? Since it’s June 7th it could just as likely be a DLC commemorating the deaths of 6000 Canadians due to a Cholera outbreak in Quebec in 1832
true
Not really, the 7th of June isn't the primary evidence, it's just something that adds a layer.
Quebec is a cold harbour city
hoi4's anniversary is like, within the same week
Look at the date, it's the launch day of Operation Weserubung, the invasion of Denmark and Norway.
nah
It’s also the day a cholera outbreak started in Quebec that killed 6000 people
And we all know which of these is more important to WW2
Norway definitely. Canada was just a colony.
why would they update Canada in their war effort initiative then
Clearly the devs are still grieving over the deaths of those 6000 people, and are planning to make a tribute DLC
It doesnt make much sense to update focus tree and then completely rework it
I assume he's just troll.
Of course I am
you never know
I literally said that the 6000 people that died was in 1832
Oh, you can definitely know. Because a troll is either messing with you or very dumb.
Speaking from fairytale perspective
Honestly, just excited been hoping for Nordic focus tree. Hopefully makes playing a bit more fun.
Would be fun too if there was also some unification stuff.
I just personaly hope that they will do Finnish focus properly
I see lot of oportunities there
hello everyone<3
hi
nah, the nordics have trees that only makes them divide harder
Hey, each time i load a auto-save game in mp the hud disappears, what can i do?

I...
Totally stealthy
Sneaky PDX
clearly they wouldnt show it on ships if it was a tribute dlc
rather a hospital or something
Nordic DLC confirmed
it already was
me too!
I wonder what unique mechanic will be added exclusively with this DLC
capitulation in 6 hours 😄
Accordingly, we MAY have the chance to get the coastal guns feature.
Or more accurately, coastal defenses system.
lets see if denmark is going to be more historical and capitulate even before the first battle on jutland breaks out
since i used to have a mod on nordic countries and before the first battles even occured between germany and denmark, denmark had already declared itself to be a german puppet 💀
They were a puppet?
I always thought that they were occupied and that Germany didn't annexed any of their territory because of their colaboration
In historical Germany will simply annex Czechoslovakia in a event to simulate their invasion
Maybe they will do the same to Denmark?
they probably did this because Czechoslovakia is pretty strong alone but idk
Czechoslovakia was captured by German forces but Czechoslovakia didn't defended itself
similary to Austria
but the game doesn't know how to simulate those kind of fast invassions without declaration of war
maybe they will do it as an event or Germany will declare war on them just like in the current version but Dennmark will get a decision to instantly capitulate
anyone pumped for Wednesday?
oh
What is the new video by the HOI4 channel about
The number of the buey must mean something
bouy is the date of the german invasion of norway
3 days before the annoucement Tianimen Square happened, this must be a link to the new DLC meanining a rework of China, and Japan (they really need to rework japan bruh)
does anyone know what the cipher for the new vid is?
there is some text in the description and I cant tell what cipher it is
scroll up man
literally there was whole brainstorming conversation when that video came up
true
I just hope the dlcs don't end up bloated like Turkey, Greece (kinda) and Bulgaria (kinda too)
I knew they would add Denmark, Norway, Sweden, & Finland in HOI4
And the Morse code is coming June 7th
I am just waiting to see the new monarchist trees myself
already have a theory what some of their more radical ideolodies may have in store
FINLAND FOCUS TREE FINLAND FOCUS TREEEEE
Greece is the opposite of bloated, and i woupdnt say bulgaria is that bloated it's quite the perfect size
i guess the name of the dlc will be Operation Weserbung so that means a rework for germany
I think it will be called plan R 4 so that meane a rework for britain
hell yeah
i doubt that will be the actual name of the dlc
im placing my bets on something like "Northern winds" or "Echoes of the north"
or something like that
that sounds better, yeah you might be right
but the only thing that i still believe is that they will make an germany rework
yeah
i belive so aswell
hype!
just 2 days left until announcement
and one day until I no longer have a cast on my leg
oo damn
(sorry for my bad english)
what happend bro
football
ah
hope your doing well brother!
im never playing football in my life
Thanks
sad
I think it will be a scandinavian DLC for sure
nahhh it's definitely canada
I doubt it tbf
There is no basis for but that the teasers also had to do with germany.... which yeah that's because they invaded 2 and kinda allied another
well, there are screenshots in the dev diaries showcasing the correcting of the Kiel canal
yeah that couldnt possibly have to do with the denmark tree
true
just ignore the years the nordics had control over that region
i hope hinterpommen also gets cut in 2 or something
Teaser shows date of the german invasion
And they did show us the Kiel canal too
refer to previous comments
Northern schweslig?
So .. why would they showcase that, i am expecting something like Nordic shared tree (perhaps the democratic path) and full reworked Germany
as hint to nordics then probs, or hell maybe they forgot cause it's an correction
Oh yeah and the shorts video was about the sinking of german boat.. and Germany may have a lot to do with MIOs.. OK I AM CONFUSED Pdx :')
What would be more recognised, this or a reference to the winterwar
Theres nothing else really
Sweden had a huge role to the shinking of the bismarck
really?
Swedish intelligence gave most of the info
All in all a germany tree would be nice, but expecting it is really just setting your expectations up to be broken
But 4/9/1940 as well
I'm sure PDX is trolling us and it's actually September 4th 1940 lmao
The Kiel canal is a very minor change so I doubt it will focus on germany, maybe they get a rework though
The Kiel canal is a very minor change
What ? I've also heard about Rostock being separated by a strait now.
I just saw a strait in one of the dev diaries and can't remember where it was
But overall I think all the teaser stuff they've been doing is leaning way more towards the nordics but that may also change germany and the way they interact with them (continuation war, Denmark's defenseless neutrality, Swedish neutrality, etc
I'd be most looking forward to Finland as well as alt history sweden
What is wrong with historical Sweden? Should be just as fun as historical Switzerland Kappa Face
Hoping that we get an interventionist democratic sweden as an option
there will definitely be a slight germany tweak
you cant make content for denmark & norway without slight changes to germany
Germany will probably get a slight tweak, the nordic countries will probably share a path or two in their trees, but should have mostly unique content, especially Finland, with the winter and continuation wars
welllll i mean technically
they should add a communist german path as well as more base german stuff
they should add a Danzig free state
anyone found more information?
That already exists, just not on game start. The system they use makes it function like a regular occupation area but with an *
Denmark needs a North Sea Empire decision path lol
Since it is their fascist name, might as well implement that
Yeah PDX please keep the badass names
no idiot iraq fell to usa on 4/9
we are getting iraqq tree real no fake
Also Danzig doesn't have cores on Danzig
When you clamp down on Danzig it does until you core it again
Really ?
Yeah
7th anniversary!
dlc announcement tomorrow?
yes
What time tomorrow tho
If they update Scandinavia, would they change Britain too?
The defense of Norway and such
I think it’s a great opportunity to give Britain a face lift
imo germany needs it m0re
dont think there will be a complete germany rework but maybe in the next one
but i think there will be additions to how britian and germany interact with norway
hopefully
would be nice if there was more additions to the monarchist and other paths
🤯 pre NSB nation needs a rework??? wild
How unexpected
It was the Blücher not the Bismarck
9:00 - 10:00
