sweet!
The MIO will buff a lot of weaker nations
I didnt try out, beta with mio
I could see it making my ships don't lie easier if there's a cost reduction
market system gonna be so cheesable
has anyone done like an efficiency or mathematical calcluation for buying arms?
as USSR you can totally become THE world power, by 1939,
Looking at the AI. It will be cheeseable
yep
It will make China easier
absolutely
Imagine buying Soviet guns as the PRC
also gonna be good for getting rid of the deficets early on
Yea
which is great if you're hungary or like, some smaller nation trying to do ahe run or something
It might make the Qing easier
Do I hear Czech arms export?!
maybe Polish SEPEWE
I hope MP, dont give stupid rules regarding it
Probably
current MP, gives soo much non-historical rules.. in a historical game
No adaptable marshal and general my ass. It's hard to do it should be aloud
its gonna really change the way mp games work lol
I mean. How much has the game changed since release!
These updates are bigger and bigger
but it also leaves some of the older content in the dust
I remember when Germany's kaiser tree was new and it was sooo fleshed out. And it's smaller than Switzerland and Estonia's trees
I can see a lot of minor nations getting tank divisions. It would be viable for a mixed tank to be bought
unless, stuborn mp hosts want no change in meta.
I mean. For Canada it will make the Mech better with the mio
viable yes, but OLD MP rules ban mix tanks T_T
I mean like more than one light tank
that would suck so much fr
like, literally killing innovation
as canada, without doing math, id say have them make motorized/mech and sell it to the world
Tbh mixed armour isn't very good but for minor nations it could be helpful in single player
yea
Mech in 1938
yeah and they can use the income buy other arms, that they arent good with
And the early trucks. I think is going to be something either extremely underrated or overrated
not really.
not efficient?
No
You use a civ for an amount of days to cover the IC of the weapons
It would just balance out to the same production
or less depending on what you buy
I'm going to assume already Planes won't be worth buying
tanks are going to be interesting
It will be
you can use the "civ" income to buy stuff right?
no
Not the income itself
yea
gonna try that as USSR, maintenance 2 + light tank will be insane for this
ouch, then that limits things a little
You can't trade with the income. It's more of you use a civ to build there stuff until you cover the IC cost
yea
any idea what time it drops?
if thats the case
12PM est
it gonna get killed in mp
gonna stay up and get drunk for this
they gonna do some stupid buy back rules again
ahhh figured
and that's why I don't play MP much
same as the last few years
was on that grind but got a 4 pager and practice tomorrow
oof
i’m a newer player lmao
yeah same here, was great, until they started doing stupid rules
fair enough!
this is the first DLC im actually going to be around to see the release of
How many hours?
^
oh wow
at 1200 hours for me
4322 for me
i’m a d3 college athlete but a d1 hoi player 😮💨🫶🏻
Been playing since Dec 2019
thats fairly a lot
i’m pushing 750 rn
I've seen 5 of the DLC's and preordered 3 since I've started playing
goat
I ain't no veteran though
i was always more of a stellaris player lmao
Never played it
Hoi4 is the first paradox game I ever got
I usually, dont play seriously on day 1 of any dlc
but Sakkijarven Polkka
does it release day 1 for the dlc pass?
I do not know. But I believe so
i’d cry otherwise man
need to get on the vic3 grind too before the combat update drops
also because all my friends play vic 3
Don't blame you. Paradox is ass but I don't think the big of one
i wouldn't say paradox is ass, i think they are very in touch with the community and quite good
i just wish we got pre-order music for subscription
missed out on that bella ciao
I love vic 3, but i think micro-mini game of building stuff
They more squeeze money out of you like a tube of toothpaste
is too much grinding
It was overrated. Like good but no Katyusha
i like bella ciao
i am part italian and i speak italian
also i speak russian
so i know both songs
i can’t figure out that game
doesn’t help i’m ussaully buzzed outta my mind on zyns and busch when i play the tutorial tho
ciao
I know some Ukrainian
very cool!, i do not speak ukrainian but it is somewhat mutually intelligble
as well as polish
Mówisz po Polsku?
oh no i just mean they are mutually intelligble
like, you can understand polish a bit if you speak russian
true
because they are from the same langauge tree
Slavic
Ya
Funny thing. I didn't know EoaNB was going to be updated the same day as AAT until the announcement. I'm a dev
what is EoaNB?
end of a new beginning
ah cool! is that a mod?
Yes!
1857-1930
currently in the 1880's for content of the majors
that is super cool! does it have like, ww1?
not yet
It is cool I agree
but super cool stuff!
It really is!
i should give it a try at some point! i havent played many mods yet
Have you seen the new Great War Redux update?
i havent yet! is it good? im a huge fan of trench warfare
so i have considered checknig it out
It's good. With the chemical warfare mod
ill give it a try!
understandable, you need some basic economics understanding to be able to appreciate the game
which is hard, when alchohol is in play
kaiserreich is the most popular mod
if you want to try one out
new update: nazi bikes
spams production
Create Variants
Dlc releasing in approximately 9 hours!
Lame, should release right now.
9 hours ?
paradox is in sweden , not pacific ocean.
i cant wait 9 hours....
Releasing at 6 CEST is a bit late even by PDX standards
Last few DLCs they released were usually early afternoon
Hell I remember when LaR got released at like 7am
everyone waiting for dlc to release, meanwhile i’m gonna be fast asleep 😴
if the release states 10.10.23 , it wshould be be releases at 00:01 , 10.10.23.
not is a 20:00 😄
time zones: baby don’t hurt me
i live in same time zone as paradox
ok?
I mean if its releasing this late that means they're trying to patch a bunch of things last minute
and tbh who’s gonna be working at midnight to release the dlc
and this
I wouldn't mind if they released late if I didn't have to do things tomorrow
yeah
right
Swedes are woking overtime ? 😄
whats next , germans with good sence of humor and sober english football fans ? 😄
A man can dream
is that really a stereotype? as a Swede I was not aware of this 
stereotypes are cool
that doesn’t answer my question tho
well, swedes have same reputation as germans - once work hours are done , employees are gone
I have the dlc subscription when do i get arms against tyranny?
Shouldn’t you get the dlc at the same time as everybody else?
thats what im sayin
5h more
dang
upon release?
20:00 eastern european time
yeah you'll have it, upon release
in short , paradox has done shit job again
they cant release it in the morning
like normal people.
szia Miklos
Yes 4-5 hours
What country Will you guys start with?
Hilarious, probably the Union of Britain because my friend asked to play Kaiserreich with me this evening. But maybe in singleplayer… I’m not sure.
Sweden
maybe Iceland
Sounds great lmao
Yeah it’ll be fun to play with my friend. I do wanna try singleplayer in vanilla too. I haven’t checked the focus trees much so I’ll do that ingame later and make a choice then.
Itally
i want to see how much i can min max Itally as naval uberpower
How does the new MiO works do u pay 0.4 pp per day for all 4?
A 1 time cost of 150pp seems less than 40% loss permanently
On top of this with all new decision needing pp won't there be a huge pp defecit for all games
Denmark or Norway looks fun
is the dlc out?
Not yet
Yes
there is realise trailer schedued for 17:00CET
i'm hyped
If its 20CET im gonna suffer because it would be 21:00 for me once it releases
if im smart it should be eather 18 or 19 but that sucks for me
i think it comes out on 15:00
15:00 CET?
idk i life in germany
i will bust a fat nut if its 15CET
CET
CET is central european AKA germanys time zone
ok thank you
idk on steam it shows: This game plans to unlock in approximately 4 hours
I have the perfect way of playing HOI4 AAT once its out
Someone made a yt series doing that
my gof
bro i think i go to sleep i cant wait that long
god
I have a Finnish army captains jacket and an officers hat. Im gonna act like an actual army leader as I encircle Soviet divisions.
im leaving home at 18 if it realises 18 i will be pissed
ok
i think i go to the netherlands
i wanna bypass the time somehow
With 400 ping at 2 speed I started lagging behind after a few seconds we started the game, is that normal?
what kind of russian internet are u using ?
2 g dial up ? 😄
Just realized this is the wrong chat 💀
happens to all of us
No but like, I'm using 5G and playing multiplayer with a guy from Spain while I'm in Italy
then again , this is paradox server , beign crap is normal , since paradox are the same 😄
i am using 5g too , in LV , but i have average of 20-30 pin
It's true that the antennae is so far but normally I get like 120-150 ping on other games
enjoy 🙂
Nah this is the propaganda they must've used to get people in the army 💀
17 CET
cet is gmt +1 or +2 ?
+2
Isn't CET GMT+1
I dont keep exact track, I just googled GMT and thats -2 rn
stupid diferent time line names
i am pleading to the mod community to create the Ship market
2 and 40 hours bro
So 18 Swedish time?
Is that the exact time when the dlc drop?
Someone definitely will lol
17 Swedish time
Oh okay
17 swedish time is 18 latvian time
i understand the difficulty of it, ships arent equipment...but i want it so bad
Might be a little off, but close
I see
aproximaltely 2.5-3 hours from now
according to steam page

It will release for those of you with the Subscription as well, yes
It’s on YouTube though

@pseudo wing whats your favorite tea ?
please i wana know
I prefer what I grew up drinking, which is Orange Pekoe, though I do enjoy other kinds of black tea such as some Nepalese blends or Breakfast black teas, though Earl Grey I am trying to like I just can't make it correctly
ah alr
hehehe
that tea will be mine
my favorite tea is this one
i live the usa i have a entire army
typing to quick lmao
given how incompetent is CIA in light of events in Israel , it is nice self burn there 😄
the cia really doesn't not care about them the are focusing on russia
Israeli cia failed
well , since mosad and cia are same shit , both failed in epic fashion
12pm est
Hour till aat I think!!!
Lets not talk about current conflicts please.
Is it out?
i wasn't i was just saying
i want to larp in the new update
new dlc ?
its out btw
Nu kör vi grabbar! Danskjävlarna ska få!
22:00 omsk
and hte update is out
ah nice
???
they fixed denmark not having cruiser armor 1
so the finish tree?
Yes finish tree is free
nice
Quick question: do some companies for majors have specific bonuses?
Like the tula arms plant for the soviets or whatever
k canada's tooltips are not fixed, they still have 4 focusses that give you factories but no building slots
wow the danish belts are no longer the norways belts
finally you can get stuck ships out
🤔 maybe
@somber marten optimized meta tutorials when
Iceland to vinland world conquest when
Are They Not different Leaders at denmark and norway?
*sweden
Rip
Are you actually British 😢
I think Pigeon already has one
Oh nice so basically 1pm
how do i get the dlc for free
its free if you trade it for money.
Should’ve said “sell us your kidney”
ah yes, the good old forgetting to add new states to a formable nation
Hey guys is the dlc not downloading for anyone els
Question. Iceland has a focus tree, Why isn't it on here?
Do I need to force it somehow?
When will 1.12.14 be an option for beta?
I need to go back to last patch to finish my games but 1.12.14 isn't an option yet :/
''secret focus tree''
I had to restart steam. I also had a mod that made the new countries not show so maybe that
By restart steam what exactly do u mean?
additional question. am I crazy or was iceland not a independant b4?
exit steam, boot steam
When will the last patch be an option for previous versions?
It was not indeed
it wasn't
Bruh, done that, ain't working
idk then
currently working on it since there is a steam issue, not an issue on our end
So it's an option but steam isn't showing it?
Anyone else feel the org upgrades for mechanized in the mobile warfare tree now is completely busted?
Its like +40 alltogether for mechanized
+12 for tanks itself
Its crazy
Typical :/
more like its tagged as a rollback but steam has gone 'no'
working on it as fast as possible
Hopefully it will be fixed soon
nah thats based
A lot of the mods I want to play are only on 1.12
Its stupid
And I'd rather not just sit around and wait for updates
No point doing any other doctrine at this point
You can just walk past the AI with invincible tanks
It was not independent before until Germany invaded Denmark
Stupid fun you mean
Its not fun when its a free win
Yeah thats what I thought
Because it's not really that interesting similar to Aussa
Idk its pretty big
Does anyone know when the rollback to 1.12 will be available through the Steam betas?
soon™️ they're working on it
Yeah Im comparing the deep battle path to the blitzkrieg path and the deep battle path literally just has weaker versions of the blitzkrieg one, theres literally no advantage, who designed this?
aight thx
just want to complete some achievements
basically its already out
Hey guys, it says I got the dlc but the countries don't appear
Do you happen to have a mod that adds another focus tree?
If thats not the problem restarting steam was the thing that worked for me
is this correct?
in the new expansion it says you can sell stuff you make, is that only guns/equipment? what about tanks and planes? ships?
you can sell any equipment
idk about ships
should be later today, its a Steam issue, so we're waiting on them
Its tuesday remember so they might do a server restart before it works
is the state of northern schleswig also named eupen malmedy for you guys? i opened the game with no mods. also some states in finland, norway and sweden are just named "STATE_xxx". Is it supposed to be like that or are my files corrupted?
presumably the UK having no designers is a bug of some sort on my end? i did verify game files but cant see any designers
prolly my files are bad. guess i have to reinstall ffs
not a fan of the new division designer what so ever
I bought the dlc and it doesn’t work in the game although it shows up in the launcher. What should I do?
game keeps softlocking after startup
how do the achievement works every tree results in joining a faction. do u permanently lose access to beating soviet if in a faction or do u just have to leave it before peacing?
I beleive you permanently lose access
Thought you could just change govt to try and have a border with em
Can someone check if Marine Commandos can leave a tile without a port?
They said something about it in the dev diary
I just want to play but I can’t cause I’m having to validate the massive amount of mods I have since they wouldn’t update after the dlc was installed :/
One message removed from a suspended account.
is it only me or are 20 state names broken and now are called STATE_114?
i checked and i dont have my mod on so idk why localisation is broken
One message removed from a suspended account.
I’m playing Finland with the new dlc and I didn’t get a choice for the winter war it just said Finland accepts Soviet demands
Is this a bug
One message removed from a suspended account.
Welp my run ruined now
new update: snows have molten into rivers
Finally the 12.14 rollback is available
game broken lol
Do you have any other local localisation files? Like in the documents hoi4 folder
Np, a lot of people seem to have them without noticing until an update drops and the names are bugged for them
One message removed from a suspended account.
Why does Finland lose Petsamo in winter war?
It was lost in 1944
not in winter war
Check your localisation folder in the documents hoi4 folder or see if you have any mods activated
why is ur norway red
germans invaded it
oh

i love turkish cyprus being danish.
ITS BEAUTIFUL
JAN MAYEN.
i love paradox for this
i mean i was working on a jan mayen mod...
EHH TWO JANMAYENS
just like two sicilies eh
amazing idea
what are the console commands for the new dlc
it was one of the greatest planes, and now no bonuses for cas for soviets?
Okay, so 1.12.14 is now available as an older patch in the betas
But I'm still validating cause it ended up restarting :/
Can someone please explain how unit width works now?
I have way too many mods
the hardest national spirit name ever has to be "we are the white death"
rollback is available now
IK
I can't use it though cause I accidentally restarted the validation by updating something
And with so many mods it's taking forever to validate all of them
I just wanted to play TNO but it didn't update and now I'm having to spend all day validating :/ WHY....
does anyone know when the new dlc will be added to the dlc monthly subscribtion.
it is now
update the laucher
state_919
can you get rid of Quislings negativ leader trait?
You have local files overriding the game’s localisation, look for either activated mods or a localisation file in you documents hoi4 folder
why cant i install the update? i just dont see it in steam
update the laucher
it worked for me
i dont see any button for the update
where should it be?
is there anyone else that has the same problem it says achievements are disabled and i need to deactivate my mods but i dont have any mods activated
is there some kind of notification somewhere
what is the right version of the launcher?
2023.13?
Yeye
Special forces for all majors have been updated
How to trade gans?
is it a glitch
i think
lol
Do you have any mods active
yes
Yeah that’s the issue
so can someone please help me with the update...
Their localisation writes over the game’s loc
im trying more than hour asking everyone
Leading to the new states getting the names that the states had in the mod
Check the localisation folder in the documents/paradox interactive/hoi4 folder
For some reason the update isnt popping up for me
Might have some artefact from nudge or something
bruh island
💀
Because they’re non aligned and that’s their name I’d assume
oh ok
All my saves are gone because of the update 😦
yeah. that's really sad
what parts of the update are free?
Does anyone know why Aland is demilitarized?
Got it, guess I'll have to play Finland to learn more now
Only real choice is to play Finland
so glad they learned from vic 3 and have decided to now release finished products
Classic Hoi4
Actually, more like classic Paradox
is the arms against tyranny included in the subscription? the steam page lists only up to no step back.
Aland is a demilitarized zone in real life
does anyoone know how to get monarchist finland?
YES
🙂
When Åland was incorporated into the Russian Empire in 1809 the Islands’ new rulers initiated the construction of a large fortress at Bomarsund on the eastern side of the main island. During the Crimean War French and British troops attacked and seized the fortress, and at the ensuing peace negotiations held in Paris in 1856 Åland was demilitarised through a one-sided commitment from Russia.
When the League of Nations resolved the issue of Åland's constitutional affiliation in 1921 a decision was also taken to draw up an international convention. The convention, which confirmed the demilitarisation of 1856 and also neutralised Åland, was signed by ten states. Russia is not a party to the 1921 convention, but the 1940 Moscow Treaty on the Åland Islands and the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty contain provisions on the demilitarisation of Åland. Neutralisation is not mentioned, however.
Those who have right of domicile and moved to Åland before the age 12 are exempt from military service.
Ok
nice, hope they update the steam page info text
Yeah
You can still go to the previous version
what are the new german focuses?
yes. do a new course for the kokoomus as finland. then, you must ally with the german empire under the kaiser. the focus, which is normally secret, will be revealed
here ya go
thanks!
no problem man
nvm found it
damn
Poor army
idk but the game hasn't updated for me even if I own the dlc e.g (no dlc or 1.13)
reinstalled the game fixed
Does anyone know if you can directly sell to a country your allied with?
I think the game got too bloated u don't have enough pp to do anything now
In portuguese we call Islândia. 🤷🏽♂️
What’s the best path for Finland, I’m balls at this game and need a path that can give me good buffs?
it just released so idk yet
try it your self
love when ur base stabitliy goes pass %50 and ruins ur focus that you were doing
Is there any way to mod back the old airwing deploy times?
a month is really killing me
How?
They really went all out on the US unit models
They have a special forces for each
A model for each special forces*
And Marines/Paratroopers both have 4 different variations
Sad France didn't get any
frenchies stink
i demolished them ez
baguette
finland is officially overpowered
What's even more weird is the fact that Donetsk is supposed to be named stalino, I don't know how that could have happened
It seems like these are the new commands AddFunds for MIO trait point
The hell’s snorkels lol
Is international market free update or only DLC feature?
Yes
dlc feature

we got allied speeches but imagine axis speeches 💀
There are mods with axis speeches
The speeches are weird when it comes to non historical lol

Germany declares on Poland and you hear the mustache man talk about like Poland destroying some German radio tower
Actually this is historical
Quisling Norway ai won't do his focus path on historical due to political popularity requirements
Because the ai won't increase support for some reason
This could be fixed by having higher fascist support upon spawning
who even buy it
btw how do i remove country stabaility WHILE playing iceland trying to go viking route because i tried doing that and i got my focus canceled because it went pass %50
Anyone else feel the requirements for Sweden and Finland focuses are unbalanced
Northern league doesn't work at all because ai is hard coded to lose no matter what
Just play multiplayer coop 
Real people are worse than ai and netcode is worse than that
TÜRKİYE 🇹🇷 🇹🇷
yes that’s the point, axis speeches would be historical
allied speeches is def the worst DLC tho
repetitive real fast and cant mute or skip speeches which sometimes play at non-sensible times
who is that ?
Lauri Torni ?
yes
Damn he is in game ?
soldier of the armies
yes he is
What did he do
he is a level 2 general with preaty
never heard of him
he served in 3 Armies
finland ?
yep
Basically a soldier that fought in 3 armies
ah I’ve seen some videos on that, always fascinating
Finland-Germany-USA
thats the problem
he dies at the vietnam war
can the remove the ugly white stuff png on swedish and ddanish flag comon man
which part
could very well be a graphical bug
looking like a failed png
let me double check some stuff
like i did this with 30 sec of 3d paint
monarchy both sweden and denmark has the ugly white stuff
noted, I will mention it internally
I’ve done one iron game so far with the new update as Finland
My god Finland is overpowered
Manpower is the only issue, but the passive bonuses they get through the army tree and Sisu is insane
Even at half strength my divisions were overrunning soviet tanks
Also the alt history fascism tree for Iceland & Quisling Norway is the most schizo thing I’ve ever seen I love it
Has anyone found a way of skipping the second finnish civil war
Vanilla elections just seem to make the president change to another of his same party
But even if I have more than 50% of communist support they wont win the elections
how does international market works? i mean how do i know how many civilians factories I get from selling
Idk how it works I’m still figuring it out
I think it gives consumer goods while the purchase is taking place? Idk
so it basically just adds those points to your building?
now it makes more sense
Even if I am selling something
it wont appear as extra factories on the factory tab
thats why i was asking because i couldnt figure it out what i get from selling
What is that name 
you mean my nickname?
Ayo, did they add reindeer into the game? I saw they added a 3d model but never saw any company's, I was assuming they added it just like the camel.
Hey Paradox. Please stop adding these, I really hate them
They are just a liability
Not to mention the mod that fixes this isn't working rn
How does selling weapons benefit you? I don’t fully understand the mechanic
So you can sell your early weapons in order to get "industry surplus" this in a laymens sense, gives you extra civs kinda
Your civs put out more
Its a really good amount too
for instance
Ok that’s what I thought, so it just makes the civs you do own more productive?
In terms of IC
I'm playing finland and this is what the bonus I have after selling most of the guns I make
So like 1 civ does a certain amount of production. This adds 16.17 of that number (we call that IC or industry cost) to my construction line
better to have without the white
Is speed bugged changing. Engines on ships doesn't change speed
bit dissapointed bz MIOs
i mean..it is just a few stats?
might as well have the old ones...they at least made huge impact
respectfully, RT56 tree for Denmark is better than the normal tree
Why Greenland and Sapmi don't appear as releasable countries without the DLC?
why tank MIOs give only to tanks stats???? what about SPA SPAA?
they dont get artillery MIOS or Tank MIOS...like..why?
sweden is good, finland is op, didnt play norway yet
why are my starting Consumer goods as UK 10%?
Im starting to hate sweden monarchy. The pp penalty is too high!
the non aligned and fascist trees are too far down on sweden. u wont get to take norway or finland until 40 when its basically pointles.
paradox employees are paid to much who the heck fikas for 70 days. it takes a few hours
norway is good, though it takes a while for quislings coup
denmark is just weird because why don't they have a communist war path (not only monarchist/fascist) besides the rest of the rest of scandinavia?
Ye I have to rush to make it
I can only puppet 2 of the countries by that time
I might not even be able to integrate them before Germany attacks
🔥
What country leader is that?
i will check
its a Norwegian general called Carl Gustav Fleischer
thanks
based off a real image of him
pls fix so you dont lose ebba as non alinged
is italian ethiopa pacification descisions bugged now?
this!! I was like wait what im only making 0.6 pp per day, with good stability wtf 💀
it's so bad, and why did they make it difficult to annex the rest of the nordics
if you want to even have a chance to get them all before germany and the soviets you need to rush it, spend all your political power and get national strikes
takes soo long to get to the "war goals" and then it's 3 focuses per country
why not just give war goals, that would be so much better imo
i deeply regret not playing a multiplayer game the day the update came out
i could have tried out the Ranger + artillery exploit 
This gives me "this pic goes hard, feel free to repost" monkey meme type of vibe tbh
I hope modders make MIOs way more interesting than what they are right now. I get it not anything needs to be complicated but the previous industries had a much larger impact on your Playstyle .
With every dlc Paradox seems to make the thing they change much weaker than what it was originally...
Is it still possible to get Trotsky in power as Mexico?
if i'm subscribed, do i get access to AAT immediately? or is there a delay to encourage people to buy it?
ah nvm i got it, cool 😄
Can i make this man my nation leader by anychance
kind of depressing that you cant get Lauri Törni or Simo Häyhä as generals
Just got off my first time playing Denmark, I was gonna say ahaha
Yes
We need a simo hayha event where we loose 1 rifle because we gifted it to him for his excellence
where do you report bugs?
on the paradox forum
man, the raj feels so outdated
3x railroad focusses with no civs/infrastructure
I thought they fixed that, at least they did with canada and australia
goa and french india have barely any meaning in the game
The historical tree is free for all
Oh ok
I need some info here
Have you had the Lapland war and its events as Finland after selecting the moscow armistice? Im trying to see if its a general bug
because I never got it
According to event files, the Lapland war should trigger randomly after 1-5 days of selecting the moscow armistice decision
it didnt start in my denmark run
they still had military acces with germany
and in no faction, at war with the allies
so yeah
basically with the way of consumer goods now works
canada has now 2 useless focusses
nice
Well done paradox
there is literally no point playing canada right now
they miss on 3 focusses tooltips for building slots
so you miss out on 4 factories
140 days 2x focus for in total 7% common wealth research speed when aside from england and mayb nzl there is no other common wealth member with better research times
crown coorperations to unlock cd howe for 50 pp, to then 3 focusses later get 33% advisor reduction costs, for a faction that doesnt lack pp anyway
and now the 2x 70 days consumer goods reduction focus that gains you a whole lot of nothing
70 days focus for 4 steel and 3 chromium is another great one (jk)
every time i play canada, i usually get the full 35% research bonus from the commonwealth
on almost all my techs except the kangaroo
usually because i rushed mech tier 3 as quickly as possible while everyone else balanced out their research, so they all finished way before me
the consumer goods thing is annoying though 😦 i don't think they'll ever fix it
they never went back and fixed all of the "research bonus for CAS models" applying to all small frames thing, after we got the designer
Well considering canada's main good focusses are not the factories, nor the common wealth ones, I usually dont have a common wealth research buffs because I am ahead on everything
i only ever play canada for their absurdly strong mechanized infantry research bonus
they also have extra research slot compared to all other members
you can get 1944 mech in like '39
and send like 2 divs over to europe and win ww2 singlehandedly
plus they are the only ones with the italian and german scientist decisions
(aside from england)
but because ive spent the first 3 years doing nothing but rushing mech infantry, all my other research is always really far behind, so i usually get the full bonus from commonwealth
so idk what you're on about 😄
i might give that a try
and just cheat the consumer goods focusses or something
because screw that, not gonna waste 140 days for nothing
i kinda thought that's what everyone did when they played canada? they've got a bonus for two different mechanized techs super early, way earlier than anyone else, you can get mob rocket artillery + mechanized out really really fast and blitzkrieg germany in '39 as soon as they wardec
it's a really fun run
https://i.imgur.com/In1zJbt.png it's so strong 😄
you rush mech 1, use that focus for mech 2, then the followup focus (just a 100% bonus unfortunately) for mech 3
Just make mech 1 lol
Only get mech 3 for the stats don't produce it
lol i mean, if i were going for optimal play sure, the fun part of canada is showing up with super modern APCs against germany's ox-drawn artillery
Lol
also why not build them? ever since we got the ability to customize our mechs for -50% production cost
i've never actually had a deficit whenever i've used them
True but the extra steel sucks if you're Canada
Like with the mio
Via the designer mech 1 can go down to 4 ic
Mech 3 is like 6 ic cheapest possible
Although with mio then you could get cheaper
its not like canada's bottleneck is IC, it's always been manpower
True but the extra steel ads up fast
does it? i'm thinking in my games, i usually have a deficit of steel, but i've never had a deficit of mech, its always stockpiling when i'm ready to go
usually its a stockpile of mech 1 and 2 that's being upgraded into mech 3, but still
...i don't really use a lot, lol. like, i usually send 6 or 8 24-width divisions to france and that's more than enough to breach the line and rush berlin
one thing i was kinda hoping for for this update was finally doing away with the 'cavalry' trait class for generals, and just combining infantry and motorized/mech inf into a single category
maybe leaving true 'cavalry' generals as like, an anachronism, for weird societies that actually still use horses
i always feel like, idk, in real WW2 the way countries used their trucks and APCs was normally by slowly adding them to their infantry units to enhance those units, but if you do that in hoi4, the more foot infantry you replace with mot/mech infantry, the worse your general gets as his foot infantry bonuses stop applying
Well for sp it's fine doing mech 3 but for mp or min maxing mech 1 always
or maybe like... maybe have motorized infantry act just like foot infantry, and they're basically just dragoons, while having mechanized infantry be the real cavalry upgrade, and they actually fight from their vehicles rather than just using them for transportation... that would be a way to kinda make the 'cavalry' traits matter while still allowing me to give my foot infantry some vehicles without making them weaker
ah yeah sure i mean, any time i'm doing this it's kinda roleplay-ish anyway
i just like the idea of canada showing up with these crazy late-40s APC tech and being totally invincible to german fire, and the germans are like "what even is canada, what is happening"
Would be pretty funny lol
#hearts-of-iron-news message changelog is empty?

Mr testicular cancer
Best everyone get this achievement while they can, it’s stupidly easy rn
I bought arms against tyranny purely for the soundtrack
Soundtrack was quite good this DLC
I love music so yeah
I’m the lead dev of a mod, and one of my big focuses is to have an outstanding soundtrack
I think Säkkijärven Polkka was good, def worth the preorder
It's Super Heavy.......
??????????????? gotta be my favourite weapon
Bruh that org and hp is sooo bad
It has only 1 Infantry battalion, but have 7 Combat Width.....
Bruh
Rekord
I could but no point
Guys im trying to solve the Lapland war issue, how do you trigger it? have you had it happen in your games?
because whenever i do the moscow armistice as Finland, the lapland war never happens
HOW IS THE ICELAND FOCUS NOT COUNTED AS AN INTERESTING ONE
Curious abt this myself
DLC: arms against tyranny
Also DLC: adds tyranny focus tree
Hotfix: Fixes bugs
Also hotfix: adds twice as more as he fixed
Ayo its not a bug, its a feature 
oh, ya, my fault, sorry
How did you even do this

Anyone know if commando marines can still exfiltrate if you have a battalion of line artillery?
I think that they finally make putting two jet engines on a late war fighter worthwhile if that’s what you’re talking about.
does yugostrat still work in the new update?
When I saw Imperial Kemet I mistook it for Imperial Kermet.
i think its worth upgrading engines now in general since speed helps more and thrust turns to agility
Does anyone know why Ethiopia keeps winning in Historical mode? I swear every single game I've played since the new update has come out has led to an Ethiopian victory!
Italy won every time in my games, do you have BBA?
Yeah, I've got every DLC
Huh
I only once had a time where Ethiopia lasted long enough for everyone to embargo them
They just won another time rn, as we speak they just won
I swear funniest thing in HOI4 is seeing all the people embargoing Italy live
Hold on gimme a sec
@polar jasper
Hehe, never gets old
Have you seen the volunteers before?
No, Ethiopia died quickly after the embargo, but playing as Ethiopia, yes
Where's cuba
ikr?
Cuba is the one who always sends volunteers when I play Ethiopia
Maybe I'm just cursed with good luck for Ethiopia?
I can always count on them and Norway
Norway sent me like 5 divisions one time and they were quite nice
How, idk
too bad they kill their military with debuffs
Ah, I guess I can't count on them in new update
Don't worry, the Cubans will save the day as usual
My luck is Haille Selaisse's wet dream
Mods back again?
Millennium Dawn🔛🔝
Is Norway decent in the new DLC?
Grate game but its main flaw is that ireland(a strategically important island in the whar) does not have a unique and extensive focus trai.
Historically, Ireland was a major player in the whar playing a balancing act and walking the tightrope of fraidom i think an inclusion of a focus trai for the lads in ireland (my country of birth) would not only be necesary but would change the way the game is played forever!
Germany could use ireland as a staging ground for britain while britain could use ireland as a valuable ally! Putting their differences aside for the greater good! Or will Jarmany support the RA and let ireland retake the narth!
Opportunity is endless with an irish focus tree and so is the game!
It’d be a nice touch, but I don’t see it being their choice in the next DLC
I think they will either A: do South America or B: Reform a bunch of the more outdated trees like Germany, Japan, and Hungary and Romania (my favorite choice but I see it much less likely
ok but uhm, small little question
how would any of this warrent a unique focus tree except for handful of northern ireland focusses
Does anyone know?
ah oh yeah i hope they redo the jat
jarmans and hungary i like playin them romanias fun too
ireland could take back the narth which would be grate and join with the germans reconcile with the brits or jain the commies
I have reported that to paradox and they replied that its a bug which they will fix
doesn't sound like ireland needs a new tree if that's it
sounds like the generic tree should be reworked and maybe *some * focuseses of that should be reflavored
British Players: Monarchist/Facist
2 seconds later: British Empire has justified a wae goal against us: Annex Dublin
Er well they’d face some stiff resistance!
Be quite good if when they try to do that it has an affect yaknow like tension maybe how Ethiopia works and Ireland gets bonuses
Ya lost the last whar against us!
and who still holds a part of your island?
