However
Polands puppet path is actually ok, the cores you can get are outstanding
Ontop of that you can always break free
So maybe you’re not wrong, they just TEND to suck but if you make ‘em right they can be solid af
Yeah if you play even remotely ok as puppet Poland you get plenty of war score for independence
Well yeah but it's needless as germany would take less if you wont become their puppet
Not even that
And getting Black Sea caucas cores is wonderful
Like you can wait ad Poland until Germany is basically at Moscow
Oh like the focus for independence?
Yeye
You can screw over Germany mid-war and peace out I beleive
That’s good too, but you don’t get caucas cores and Ukraine cores if you do that
I believe war with germany and not ussr should be not avoidable
Same with Sweden
It isn't avoidable if Germany is Fascist
Nah they wouldnt care if you gave them gdansk
baltics get more industry than the USSR AI 
You're not only giving Gdanks, your becoming a puppet
If Germany is fascist Barbarossa always happens unless the illusive Berlin Moscow axis or the fascist Russian axis happens but I’ve never seen those occur organically
Berlin Moscow SUCKS
Tbh USSR can build its industry without the focuses
For puppet path yes for other no you just gave up gdansk and they leave you free
I have seen Fascist Russia, very rare
Oh forgot about that, that's mor of a Dev oversight tbh
They almost always go Tsardom in my experience, however the whites are almost always Japanese puppets unless they speedrun the war
Ai whites, I mean
They'll probably at more focuses like Yugo and Greece
Yugoslavia has such good potential imo
Yeah that sucks
More than Polands Yugo needs an exile tree
It’s focus tree disparity is just kinda crazy, there’s no reason to do the evolution focus trees instead of self-Balkanizing
Larp
Whites are just bad
Also unless you do demagogue it's the only way to go Fascist
Yugo give up all your land to Italy and Germany path 
Although clean borders alone make it worthwhile at times
And no democracy hurts even more
But not mind-blowing
Slovenia to Germany vovdjina to Hungary, Croatia to Italy
NSB was on crunch towards the end
Idk Whites don't have room for a big focus
A lot was cut, like democratic Russia
The white path is constitutional monarchy right?
Since like the civilwar optimistically doesn't end till '38
Civil war lasts 10 years
Basically lol
The worst part abt the whites is that
They are just long dont give anything meaningful and weak while lack basic stuff such as generals or high command
yeah right/left oppo get to keep the level 4 field marshalls
Yeah, third Rome is cool and pan Slav Union is cool but it’s just worse than Soviets often
while stalin kills em
No democratic path sucks
Sucks it was cut, they had ideas too. There’s a cut portrait in the files, for a constitutional monarch
So they made some ground obviously
Really I do hope people who already own the DLC get a coupon for the next rework
But deadlines are a cruel thing I spose
like if we had WTT 25% coupon for next Japan DLC
I concur
That would be fair
Or SOMETHING at least
Prolly not lol
But tbh I pre-order every dlc
I anticipate the Reddit is not pleased about this for the next week
Same
It’s my biggest weakness
I see HoI4 dlc, I purchase
Like screw the Steam reviews
AAT was solid
ToA was an OK dlc
AAT was great overall, actually
Even something basic would be good
Finland, Denmark, and Sweden are all enjoyable
Tbh what's Norway gonna even do lol
Finland was the most fun I had in hoi4 for a while
True
I feel like people don't understand
Quisling could’ve been fun af if dine right
Or a minor one like italian democratic path
You don’t get cores or anything
That some countries just can't do much as a tree
And his trait gets WORSE as he goes on
Vikings
It gets fixed later on I think
It should start the worst and get better to reflect the government gradually becoming accepted
When
They have that, it's just that Norway doesn't have population r industry to win on its own
No, it goes from -10 stab, to minus 15- stab, to -20 stab
Sometime on a paradox forum I remember
Thought it improved in one focus towards the end?
I'd have to check
He said they wanted to give it some attention in the future
Lemme see
honestly if I just get katyusha ill be happy
Well it dont even give cores
But something should be done if the dlc are now completely free
I understand price discounts/discrimination
Neither does Denmark if you go Fascist lol
Nah it gets worse
Just checked
In pretty sure the intent was that you'd form Kalmar
And get Cores
Also has anyone manged to Annex Portugal as Brazil through the first focus*
?*
I actually afterall enjoyed norway most out of all nordics they reworked despite getting least work like least amount of generals or some bugged decisions for alt democratic that costs so much it's impossibile to complete
Cuz their commie path war crazy op
How when
I think you can only puppet them
In reality Norway has atleast 3 unique mldels
Lol
The first focus where you propose union implies they have a chance to be annexed
Maybe for militia?
Cored?
Why chance
It's the same for Brazil
Brazil has 5 unique infantry models that you cannot see through the designer
But you can get them through the focus
And I can tell this isn't intended because if you do the Guardia Nacional focus it will spawn infantry divisions with a different model
Idk
But I love Katten because he basically let me show him them in DMs and said he'd shoot it on to the dev team<3
Based customer support right there
Which thread?
btw can brazil not core portugal
Brazil is super bugged
Democratic Brazil can't core South America
Which it's implied that It coukd
I also can't invite other nations to its faction
Unlike non-aligned Brazil
Also heard Commies couldn't get decisions
I hate how i made a thread on paradox forums about commie path being bugged and even mentoined that democratic is too
And they fixed commie but not democratic
Can you just report him bugs on pv?
I have
He had me send them to him
He was in this chat so I caught him while I could tbh
Not bad
You could tell him about italian balance of power decreasing after retaking lost cores, or about estonian cores being broken for finno ugrian path or about soviet decision to core sakhalin etc dont work or about polish puppet condition for nationalist commonwealth are bugged
Those bugs are there for a lot longer and deserves to be fixed
Also, if you yourself push the Italian BoP to the end yourself civilwar doesn't trigger
But it stale decrease
You cant do anything about it dropping
Even after you retake city
Yeye, but civilwar is the main debuff to decreasing
If you can avoid the civilwar doesn't matter too much imo
It just sucks and dont make sense to endlessly lose balance of power cuz you lost village that you reconquered
Yeye
Tbh I'm pretty sure devs will do something one day
Cause I'm pretty sure they've atleast seen the Itakian thing
They did say war-effort was coming back
Ngl
Biggest question nownis
Are they going to announce the new dlc on the anniversary
Or have a new models pack
I have a lot worse feeling
Dont see how they fix something that's confirmed to be bugged for years
May've been intended tbh
It was good of paradox to make those DLC free but of course it’s the only 3 dlc I’ve paid for
Oooof
Yeah I guess I at least had good taste? I’ll keep telling myself that…
LETS GOOOOOOOO 3 FREE DLCs, i have only played 32 hours and it was already starting to get boring, just constantly waiting for manpower and factories
am i reading this new announcement correctly?
hm
how do you claim them if u have the expansion subscription
probs not, but they will be free forever after the 21st anyways
its already proven germany is getting a rework
check earlier messages from yesterday lol
.
germany is outdated by 6 years, ofc it needs a rework
japan will probably be the next dlc after germany to be redone
Literally the same for me
yeah i got those with the cadet pack or started pack, whatever its called
Thing is, it’s the three DLCs with actual features you need to have fun
Its a lot of features that should’ve been in the base game but were sold instead
Although it’s still really a lot of money to just lend out for free
Which is why I think some kind of retribution for these players should be there
Not a refund but something that can make us feel special
Katten personally stabs you in the chest
That would be worth the 60
But something like: you get a song each dlc and maybe a content pack you don’t have yet
Something like that would be appropriate
maybe make all dlc's free so that features aren't locked behind a paywall?
i think that makes sense
"Maybe stop profiting from your biggest source of income"
🙄
What dlcs are free
Starter edition ones
Good things are done while going into debt!!!
They were selling it for like 5 dollars more or 2 dollars more on sale (the starter pack) the advantage now is they dont have to have any more if statements for these 3 DLC for other DLC
The amount of money they were making off these 3 was pretty minimal at this point and its probably worth the manpower cost
Yeah but yk people paid and should get some kind of gift for it back
Something call
Even if it’s worth 5 dollars
i feel like the reason they made these free is to rework them
and i have a bad feeling the reworked version will cost money
even if u bought the dlc before the rework
This alone would be fine with me
You got a point
But if they made all the reworked focus trees one dlc I‘d be fine
they already said that they will
but it also helps that giving everyone these dlc means they dont have to worry about checkifs for any future focus trees
bruh and what if i bought the first version
now i have to pay for it again
istg paradoxes money policies are predatory as f
Yes they are
I remember when dlcs were called expansion packs
The problem with them isn’t that they exist, it’s that they hide some incredibly important feature behind them
And just integrating three DLCs that all cost 15 or more at release is considerable as a scam
And expansions packs added 10x the amount of stuff dlc did
Yuris revenge, The conquerors, Barbarian invasion
Keep in mind its for old classic tws
Modern ca dlc policy is even worse than paradox
I know that very well at this point
Barbarian invasion is very like medieval 2
Not too mention that westwood doesnt even exist any more
More like separate game than dlc
The studio that created command and conquer
And EAs businesses model is probably the worst of the 3
Yuris revenge was like that too somewhat
As well as the Conquerers
My favorite campaign in that expansion pack was the Attila one
In the last mission You basically ride down the Italian peninsula to the gates of Rome
I remember when there were also non game changing dlcs (in the way you dont play it separate from the main one) but they basically doubled the game content when vanilla itself was really completed unlike hoi4 one
Like the dlcs for age of wonders 3
Reminder how broken is still wtt
Communist china joins the allies on historical game without player action that have any chance to affect it
And roc overall wins
Peru joined japans faction in my historical AI run
how?
That doesnt make sense
playing as UK
Peru facist Japan facist Peru join Japan faction because world tension high
Yeah but isnt historical AI programmed to not do that?
Otherwise what is the point of historical
During the war with ecuador only
However for commie china it's even worse
Cuz they do it in feature that's meant to happen
hoi4 should add a wargoal for luxembourg with the napoleon focus on france
Good idea
What nation can liberate indigenous people?
Chile
Just chile?
Yo
And do they have the same focus trees as their nations or is it a generic
Generic
Aww damnit
Latest update for this DLC makes the game completely unplayable for me
I get late-game lags even in 1936, b4 the update the game always ran smoothly
any way to fix?
Disable dlc
its not the dlc though, but the update
nonetheless, do disable the dlc and see if it changes anything. and if it didnt, downgrade your game to 1.13 and see if anything changes. if either of them fix it, then its just a matter of waiting until a patch is released afaik
tysm, i will check it out and see if anything works
in Steam properties there is no 1.13 option
are you sure? maybe you missed it cuz its in the middle
oh my bad, thx again, appreciate it ❤️
so it appears Stella Polaris is the latest one, but it is before Trial of Allegiance
and i wanted to play like a version before with the dlc working
No issues on Stella Polaris, its 100% the latest update, which is shame, since i wanted to play the dlc properly 😦
yeah of course, 1.14 was basically the update for the DLC.
nonetheless, if its working on stella polaris, then bolivar 1.14 just needs a patch update then youll be working normally
1.14 was so smooth, 1.14.2 came in and fixed a lot of in-game stuff, but it definitely screwed the optimization for me, despite saying in changelog about "making tweaks for it"
now its just a waiting game for the next one

I have a question in this dev dairy https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/developer-diary-giant-bag-of-goodies.1624135/ it says that we will get focuses for paruguy and Uruguay am I missing something when will we get these?
Hello there, Aveebee here to introduce this week's chunky dev diary covering a variety of topics. We’ll be covering everything free going into the upcoming patch that will release alongside Trial of Allegiance, an overview of some major map...
They are in the ToA dlc
will 1939 start ever get reworked?
it's very poorly made
they complain about it not being played
well
how can anyone play something that unbalanced
it seems like they just set focuses and research and dont change anything else
it's meme itself
also like the build up to ww2 is kinda the point
some nations that start war at like 41 still could build up
best part is
finland start with less divs than 36
there are other crazy stuff like hungary and romania joining invasion of poland
argentina having more factories than brazil
I do it.

Oh thank you
50/50 in 1939
I've seen it go both ways with it being a coin flip
Do you have the new DLC
Oh sorry for ping, didn't realize you were answered
I've played plenty times ai only time lapse and italy always won
i think hungary might be included with the new DLC
besides germany, belgium, austria; there might be hungary and czechoslovakia reworks possibly...
only thing that gave me a hint was that hungary democratic leader has a picture now (or if it might be my mod, no idea)
I thought that had been there for a while, like maybe two or three dlc ago?
didnt see it then ._.
Idk it may be dependent if your playing allies or axis
AI tends to be weaker for the side you pick
ESPECIALLY in KR
why do so many people want middle east dlc? do they really want some focus trees about absolutely doing nothing?
You
Seem to forget Iraq and Iran were invaded during ww2
You're also forgetting, basically how vital and resource rich these countries were towards the war effort
Like having a dlc to buff them and give a challenge fir survival would be fun
Saudi Arabia becoming whole Arabia lol
Iran going fascist and forming the Persian Empire, historical flavor in the invasions of Britain and the USSR, maybe Egypt being independent finally and having a unique mechanic to represent them in real life
Understandable, though a dlc only of middle east content would need to encourage to do these things outside of larp
japenese/asia or german/austrian dlc?
Even paradox wont sell you 1 country dlc (german)
for austria and more
I can see german-austrian dlc with belgium although that would be weird
i'd see Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Belgium (Luxembourg getting a minor tree)
Thatd be pretty
I cannot wait for the day when we finally get an Austria tree
With paradox’s slight improvement in making focus trees
It’ll be heavenly
It would just be the unhistorical path present though
How could a historical path work in which your nation is annexed
Without resistance
People wanted a south america dlc, so peeps def do
The middle East is pain
Also Iran and Iraq straight-up got invaded so like they got something to do
I have never once seen negative supplies
Except when I was going through Iraq
Supplies do not exist bro
You might as well give all your units, a wooden baseball bat
True, but i was only commenting on "do people want nations which do nothing" 
I just use tanks and sweep through Iraq so fast the supply issue doesn't affect me :)
Multiple people also want focus trees for dutch east indies and malaysia
So yeah, there is a market for countries with no potentional
Why didn't hitler just simply outrun his supply issues?
I think a Libya focus would be cool :>
In what part of the war
Eastern front mainly
Oh, he tried that
But got stopped at Stalingrad and eventually ran out of supplies
Then the whole thing happened
Honestly outrunning supply issues was kinda unironically what Barbarossa was
That’s why he kept telling his generals to keep going
Russia winter kills you and supplies
He wanted to blitz Russia
Ok but he didn't actually outrun his supply so L
And the second he got stopped is the second he was screwed
Well yeah cause it was a bad plan on a scale as large as Russia
He did pretty good till Stalingrad tbh
No he did not
The encirclement in Russia was smart
I say he did decent
The way he fought through Russia
But the thing is
The plan was temporary
Encirclments are not a new concept
More like the soviets fought terribly instead
And yeah a lot of German success was founded upon Soviet failure
I feel the fact he knew that and took use of it is a German success
I mean he was gonna invade the Soviets sooner or later, regardless of if the purges had happened
Yes but how he managed to take that much land in Russia in such a short amount of time is good, yes it was cuz Russia was dumb, but Hitler taking use of it was smart a little Atleast
Do you think if he didn’t invade the Soviet’s would’ve stayed allies for the rest of the war?
Because I heard somewhere that Stalin was actully like surprised
And considered Hitler a friend
That's a very controversial debate which I simply do not know enough about to say what I think
It’s interesting to think
No one forced him to turn on Russia tho, so the end was completely his fault
I mean he forced himself to do that
The fundamental ideological ideas as well as the ideological differences were what implicitly forced Hitler to invade the Soviet Union
He also really hated communists
Yeah that's the ideological differences
Oh, I see what you mean
The entire war was
It would take multiple miracles for germany to truelly win
Meh, it was going pretty decent because of appeasement
Ye but I feel they could’ve sued for peace eventually
Because if you think about it, it was Germany vs the world
A german-soviet war was inevitable, it's all stalin build up to
The later hitler declared war, the more soviets would build up
That’s true
Yeah I see how it could be like a countdown
41 was like, one of the best case scenarios and even there it was near impossible for germany to win without collapsing before hitting the end line
Yeah I’m starting to see how the war was lost from the start
BUT THERE WAS ONE WAY TO WIN
STEINER
And don't forget that the nukes that hit japan where meant for germany, they just lost too quickly
all Hitler had to do was wait for Steiner to attack >:<
Damn
Yeah
Again any war like that is lost
It’s you vs the world
And the world has nukes in an age where no one knew they existed
germany basically won cuz everyone around them was weak
as soon as mfers stopped being weak
More like appeasement
Everyone around them didn’t want another war
I feel if the Allies acted instantly as soon as Germany did the first crazy thing
They would’ve won easily
With very little casualties
I think it was more desperation then they actully believed it
I mean no one would be stupid enough to not see Germany was just gonna keep asking for more
hmm
It’s 4 am I should sleep 💀
yeah
imagine losing like 4 percent of ur population
you dont wanna repeat that
especially against the same mfs
Baldwin especially said he wanted to maintain in power and he would lose it if he started preparing for war
I mean france and britan werent really in a state for war in 1936 to be fair
They really expanded they military by spending like 20% of gdp on year to year on military
Also the germans remilitarized suprisingly fast
And french leadership was dogshit
They were a lot better than germany was at that time
Not true they don't have Disjointed Government like France does
Their army was a lot smaller than polish yet
They were ordered to retreat if any french soldier would come in
Hello does anyone know if Paradox added a new strategic bombing animation with the new dlc?
Idk about new, but there is a neat animation for strat bombing
The one that looks like napalm right?
I saw it on a stream both me and the streamer never seen it before
It looks like a line of explosions
Yeah that may be the old one, the new one I saw showed burning fire in line of bombs landing
Yeah, the line of explosions
Okay so its always been thare? I remember the old one but the new one looks sick, would buy the dlc if it only comes with trial of allegiance
The current ones has been around since AAT
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2094353117 at 06:12:46 you can see it, just to be sure thats what you are talking about right?
goldenspatulas went live on Twitch. Catch up on their Hearts of Iron IV VOD now.
The nuke spamming?
06:12:52
Okay thank you 🙂
steiner konnte nicht genügend kräfte für einen Angriff massieren, der angriff steiner ist nicht felogt
once hitler remilitarized the rhineland the wehrmacht had orders to retreat from the rhineland if the french had invaded
English only, please!
i think he’s doing the “steiners counterattack” meme
Prolly
yea its not a big deal, just a little reminder
France was too fractured at the time
and people didn't want to attack Germany early when a lot of people in Britain though the Veresailes was too harsh and the Soviets were about to invade if they destroyed Germany and left a power vaccum
Russia had a huge army preparing to invade according to a lot of sources.
I think Hitler would’ve invaded Russia no matter what. The whole end goal of the war was mass German colonization of Eastern Europe.
Tbh Soviets migtve invaded Germany eventually if they though Hitler was becoming too strong too
Like both hated each other, Molotov-Ribbentrop wad basically just an agreement to stall the fight for later on
They could think of it but probably never decide "we are strong enough"
Ehhhh
woops sorry
if I was hitler i would befriend stalin more
maybe even flipping communist
i would ask stalin to form an official alliance, invade Finland together, strike against the British
the soviet + german + italian navy combined beats the british
Italy dont control neither gibraltar nor suez
then control it???
it isn't that hard
do it in peace time then
🤣
do you really think fr*nce is a major threat?
Which also have top navy
the smelly fr*nch can be defeated with just 8 paratroopers
Oh yeah i forgot that uk dont defend channel too
Italy could easily land in 36
uk never does
and the fr*nch are too smelly and weak to give much of a challenge
Did Trial of Allegiance add anything other then the new focus trees? I am confused.
It's a country pack, so it's focus is mainly on the focus trees and fleshing out certain countries
MtG added the ship designer, TfV the puppet system features, etc, but the country packs (BftB and ToA) mainly focus on fleshing out nations
Quick answer no
Where do I find the long answer? (I am very bad at finding the patch notes)
Peru and Ecuador fight each other now, believe that is free now.
Canada got buffed.
US got new operatives if you have La Resistance and 1 new industrial concern
But those are free
Monroe Doctrine changed with the DLC, now America can go to war with any non democratic country in the America's for 50 political power
Fancy. Thankies.
Hello there generals!
It's your friendly neighbourhood Community Manager, Katten, here to talk about the Trial of Allegiance patch notes!
But before that, I want to remind you that the DLC releases tomorrow at 17:00 CET! So if you want to...
Thank you.
When hoi4 does the German rework, two songs they gotta add… Erika and Deutschlandlied
Wo alle staßen enden
Fits perfectly 100%
True
everyone asks when german update
no one says how german update
first off the fascist path
it needs less cheese
maybe some more cores
or you should be able to form groB deutsches reich
with being able to core all of the former imperial lands
austria and sudentenland too
just by controlling all of those territories, no rng event maneuvers by the ai if on ahistorical
yeah more prerequisites more preparation, planning necessary with like certain decisions like Peru but more
and over all more focuses that dont really give buffs persay but it should like lead to more paths like italy
and for the opposition path
the GCW needs to be more complex
weakest civil war in the game for a major by far unless I am forgetting something
(french maybe idk)
more prep for the civil war, maybe remove those buffs that the general has
and overall more chaos maybe
bavarian independence, a partisan side somewhere, ruined germany
I feel as if I have been robbed by PDX since they are giving away 3 DLCs that I paid with my hard earned money
like I feel you should definitely build up a lot of support to start it since the austrian basically had the nation under his boot
by 1936
U didn’t tho the dlc has been out for what at least 5 years now
This was done to pave the way to probably rework the same dlc nations
And they need capital for that
Getting robbed is the toa dlc
The amount of time the DLCs have been out is irrelevant on the matter since players that have paid for them are not getting anything back, but instead are left with nothing unlike new players who got said DLCs free of charge.
Um no
U got it way earlier than them
already said there should be a council of leaders path similar to italian focus tree if you don't wanna play as the painter
maybe something like new ways where you got the strasserists, monarchists, fascists, communists, liberals, or merge liberals with monarchists, etc.
Would be pretty weird if a new player have to buy both waking thw tiger and the new dlc to get a japan rework no
Wyd "Um no". As I said; "time is irrelevant on the matter". I did not buy these DLCs the moment they came out.
Paradox just streamlined it
That prob mean u bought it at discount too lol
That is not streamlining
I started playing Hoi last year
they already said they're making one based for central europe like Germany, Belgium, Austria
U alr had it for 2 yeara
Are u entitled to 40% of ur money back
Same logic
Except its a 100%
You are not following my logic
It is ur argument is people should be entitled to the cheapest price
no
No matter when they bought it
By your logic
Everyone should be getting refunds everytime a dlc goes on discount
No that is different
How so
The price of dlc correlates with how long it came out
When epic games or steam givea out games like death stranding
Are the people who bought it 2 years ago entitled to it being free
U are being mad at nothing
Steam and Epic are giving out games when their finances allow the to do so and these free games also work as promos for their launcher to be used more
if it turns out being anything like the soviet or italian rework, we're golden
there's a lot that can be done and expanded on, especially the SS
Paradox is doing it so u will buy thwir next dlc
Since BBA i have not bought anything
The way they are putting out these DLCs has become idiotic
Its just a permanent 100% discount is what it is
Dude
Like ur whole argument hinge on its not fair i paid for dlc that u prob bought on discount
Which kinda makes u hypocritical
I am saying that users who have bought these dlcs prior to them becoming free should get some sort of exclusive gift or discount because they have sent their hard earned money on these dlcs
Because same logic can be applied for people who bought it full price
No it cannot be since these people are fully aware when sales comes and can wait to buy them
i buy it full price cuzz i want 2 play it👍
The price is you get the thing now
yup
or maybe because you don't have the patience to wait
I do lol
I got all my dlc from hoi challenges
i am not referring to you
why would i wait if its not neccesary im not poor :/
Then why are speaking
Because ur logic is stupid
You do not have the right of say if you only bought the base game
And i did buy the old dlc
They were on 90% discount or sum ahit
Like thats the price of waiting
So my point stands
You ought to stop speaking since you practicly did not spend a dime on in game content
Neither did u
XD
Tell me u bought all dlc full price
Most of them yes
eh if u got ur playing time out of it its still worth
not for these 3 only
Dlc that goes for like 3 bucks
Easy for you to say
You see not all of us live under the same economy you see
so for you these may seem cheap
but for others they may seem expensive
Have you taken that factor into consideration or are you just speaking for yourself?
hmmm eco is good here but it just is expensive XD
If eco is good then you should have no problem afterwards
But in other countries in which there is not a stable and growing economy there may be problems
yup if u cant buy u cant buy
To account for ur financial situation
If u cant afford it dont buy it
Paradox isn’t holding a gun to ur head
Your arguemnts are pointless
when a company is making decisions it should take into account each and eveyone of its users
Like I could understand if u bought the dlc 2 weeks before they announced it
But a whole year
Thats what defines a good company
U are shitting me
No
this is impossible XD
It is not
I am not suggesting that they should make everything free
My point is that those who have bought these prior to then being free should get compensation
They should take into account the product they are releasing
i dont see why... u choose to buy it
i dont expect any compensation for my own choice XD
My compensation was i got it early?
Wasn't it their choice to make it free?
and ?
That is not how compensation works
yes
Shouldn't they have asked the community first?
8 years is a long ass time to wait for a dlc to become free
We are talking about their money, their property and you are not going to take that into account
why should they ask what they do with their stuff
they could ofc , but u cant have everything
I do not want everything
Imagine if the compensation for buying the old DLCs is a new music/armor pack
Perfectly fine with me, I already got my money's worth from it
Now that is better
That is compensation
Going to be a profile badge for the thing less than 25% of people look at more than likely lol
Beat case is literally they give u the preorder music
true XD
Dream on
they screw you by giving it for free and they give a pack that is equal or greater to the current price of the bought pack
Very funny man
U know how they reward people who bought the game full price
Preorder music
I dont why u expect better
Tell that to the people who preordered lol
Going by your logic "iT iS tHeIR proBLeM"
While thats for preorder
And willing buyer willing seller
People who preordered know what they are getting
preordering smth is differnet to making free while it was available by purchase
People who preordered lnows that in 2 year time their dlc will be 30% off
Which is approximately like 5 bucks off
Old dlc goes for like 90% off
Most of the time
yeaaa its not worth the wait
See the logic behind that now?
i am not going to continue arguing with someone who is not aware of others situations and does not take them into account and only thinks for himself
good night
gn 🙂
no but let jut leave this be. hmm?
after all you are speaking you part of the truth and I speak mine
damn
Omg
They literally decided to nerf military tree for south america out of all problems
Making whole tree worthless
Gj
It's not that south america is behind at everything in military
And cant even get 5 research slots
Nor that you have 85849483 debuffs
And before you start even doing it war should be resolved unless you were trade it for getting some debuffs later removed
Meanwhile norway can just casually get +50% attack and breakthrough on germany
But lets nerf south america so it gets op bonus of +3,5% arty attack
Paradox moment making trash updates that downgrade trees
And you cant play without updating this crap
Omg
I want my money back
They went a little too far with the nerfs considering all South America had going for it are its military buffs due to its industry taking too long to upgrade
Conquistador probably should’ve dropped to 10% from 20%, not 6%.
It was OP imo but developed so slowly it wasn’t really that game breaking
Not compared to what other nations were getting
20% flat attack bonus worldwide and an extra 60% recruitable?
And those didnt start with ww1 guns and 2 research slots
That’s my argument though. All they had going for them was the military buffs considering they have minimal industry and research
Compare it to when they will get this bonus and what is their resources
Norway gets +50% bonus for free and earlier
Finland is as much op
Feel like they’ll have to dial some of the buffs back up
Though Finland and Norway can’t as easily get 120 mil core pop
Whole south america have less steel than poland i believe
If you compare the buffs with the US, it’s still stronger than the US yet can have a similar population
Yeah South America has like no steel
So great, the buffs that allowed people to play despite lacking resources and factories are now gone
I wanna my money back for this downgrade
These murdered Argentina imo
Gotta admit though, Brazil always seemed a step behind Chile/Argentina buff wise. So Atleast they’re more at an equal playing field
Everything i've read is absurd
But then again Brazil could core easier
Reducing conquistador attack by 75% is wild
I’m super happy I got all the achievements when I did. Reminds me of how they nerfed The Global Defense Council
I'm never gonna play south america again
I will, just way less often
I still like unifying South America
Never understood why Communist Brazil gets cores on all of south, Central America, and the carribean. But not Mexico
As if the 17-20 mil manpower form Brazil will matter that much lol
why does mexico dont have unit voices
They didn’t really do that back when they updated it
I’m just like, why does Brazil get 126 mil manpower, but not an extra 20 mil from Mexico
I mean it’s supposed to be unifying Latin America
And to think I spent all yesterday getting the Qing Empire achievement
Didn't expect nerfs to be this wild
Wish South Africa was able to unify the continent after puppeting all of Africa. Similar to what Chile can do with their Native American tree
They’re really bad 😂
Instead of nerfing conquistador by 75%, just lock the buffs to the Americas or something
There will be a nerf of the nerf later I'm sure. The pendulum will swing back!
That’s what I’m thinking
Instead of the 60-75% nerfs they made. Probably will be more like 40-50%
Steam needs to include what version you completed an achievement on so that we can tell the Weenie Hut patrons from the Weenie Hut Jr. patrons
What makes me mad is that Brazil gets the 10% division speed buff but it was removed from the global defense council
Would be funny ngl
Imo they shouldnt nerf them at all
Or at least make it so they get something in return
Like start with 3 research slots
Buffs are necessary, but shouldn’t be as extreme. Afterall game should be a little balanced
Not a useless one if you are debuffed by something like limited research slots
They were never super mega op nations
Just average new tree
Agreed, the lack of research and industry should grant higher military buffs. These nerfs went too far and removed what was special about the new countries
Just wait and see if they change it back up a bit. If not, don’t play them 🤷♂️
Did you pay the 45 bucks like just before the announcement?
when they were released
I don’t mind them becoming free as it may get more new players into the game
I’ve bought every DLC
~~What.. It litterly killed all the fun about these countries.. ~~ I AGREE 👍
Anyways, i like the update where they included 3 dlc's into the main game - but rip all that money people may have bought the new one for.. :/
Is that not what “murdered Argentina” conveys?
I mean, ya? xD
Tbh I feel it's kinda fair? It's basically paying for early access tbh
Since they're really old
oh yea, but the new one :P
But, when is it, that it's getting added? Now? at 18.00 CET?
The current patch should already be out, however the 3 dlc's being integrated should be happening at a later date hasn't been announced yet
Alright, thanks
So when am I getting my money back for the DLCs that are now part of base game?
Did Brazil get any-not mentioned fixes, or is there another patch coming?
Because I did have a few confirmed reports that weren't mentioned in the patch
I am not the one who makes decisions, and all information regarding the DLC integration was posted on the forums/steam.
If they weren't mentioned in this current patch, they should hopefully be addressed in the next one, as for when that will be I can't say but I hope it'll be soon 🙂
the market exploit wasnt even acknowledged despite feedbackk making a video on it feels bad
paradox should have made the dlc a penny
so people woudnt yap so hard about this most of those dlc has been going for like a dollar or two for ages already
why cant i get my money back for update that downgrades tree?
Because it's Steam that handles refunds, and won't refund items purchased after two weeks or if the game has been played for two hours while the DLC has been active
Excuse me, someone can explain me wtf happened with dlc? I mean, it'll ti incluye un game base? Thanks
Do you know how Poland: United and Ready is freely available to all players that purchased the game?
Same principle, but with three additional DLC
I'm reading you and I see that the problem with paid DLC is that some will become part of the base game and will no longer be available for individual purchase? is that? . Paradox did the same with Stellaris. I'm not surprised if he does it with EUIV, Victoria 3 or CKIII.
I saw that patch 1.14.3 came out. They changed a lot of things and reduced a lot of values to the countries from the last DLC. It looks more stable but I think I should do a little more research. The history of Latin America is complex than the rest of the world. There are many chiefs and few Indians hahahahaha
It sucks tho that update can ruin thing you already paid for
Funny thing is if you want play dlc just get intentionally kicked from an mp game
Like its a totally legit way of getting dlc without resorting to p*racy
Paradox also pla fix this too many people do this in no disc games and they often bug out nations
Thank you paradox for ruining expensive dlc experience
hoi4 civil war
fanbase vs paradox
different modding factions
different fanbase view factions
i mean
if gta san andreas can be a mod then so can this
Can paradox have +90% attack breakthrough and defense to represent being unstoppable by other factions?
in historical yes
Tbh i'm not gonna buy any new dlc
This update made me dont want to play this game as a whole
I’ve been playing a lot more Stellaris 🙂
time to go back to total war
What the problem ?
Actually I am myself kinda happy with the DLC integration even if I buyed them
Nerfing nation to the ground making half of their tree worthless
Which one
Newest one
No which nation
All toa nations
Ok but I don't play south America lol
If you would
Then you would want money back
Why DLS is so expensive and the game is not worth the money, but I'm looking to buy an add-on
Balancing is obvious BTW
Some focus were quite OP
Nation with limited research slots, almost no resources and behind technologically at everything, starting with basically no army got rid of their only strength
Some national spirits that were far from the most op ones
That's definition of balance in 2024
Norway and it's+50% attack and breakthrough
Vs
Brazil with +3,5% arty attack
Choose one
Ok, now think about late game when you core basically all of SA, probably destroyed USA etc...
- All of the consummer good and industry bonus
You are still behind in tech and never able to catch up but by this point everyone is op
Industry bonuses?
Not being able to catch up ? Enjoy Communist china so
Norway got like +50% if not more civ construction speed
While having 9 per focus
Sounds like a joke
Brazilian industry for 1941 is like polish one for 1939
And norway is basically threatened from everywhere
when , in south america, you are basically untouchable
Having literally 1 enemy behind a sea
Whole south america cored is not even op
Average major
Behind at everything
Whole scandinavia is a lot more
Not to mentoin with uk
Germany (that can easily putch you), all Your neighboor if non historical..
If you are that bad you lose against enemy that can only naval invade you then south america is not even safer
Imagine if japan randomly naval invades you
They don't even have to naval invade you btw
as i said , the putch
But they can
Literally can
Not to mentoin some war with allies
If UK don't defend Eastern north sea yeah, but then they will be easy to kick off to the sea
In short
Toa nations are now trash ethiopia likes
Oh i forgot
Ethiopia can get like +30% div attack
Brazil have their +3,5% arty attack which is something like +3
When you see some focus effect, it was quite obvious it would be nerf
But it wasnt
They were far from top of the most op ones
And compensation for having years of debuffs
On everything
The problem i have with this DLC personnaly is that Monarchist portugal dont work much anymore
Now you have brazil that will be always worse at everything technologically than most of the world without resources so need to spam ton of civs to even maintain production line which stuck it out of improving industry and have to waste time on worthless "buffs"
As i said : Communist china
Not a lot of buff
no ressource
have to fight long war
Oh yeah communist china is modern tree they would sell you
All nordics are like 3x stronger
And even so , communist china can become a powerhouse in late game
I remember how some naval bomber screwed US navy
It's humiliating how much stronger they are
the problem of some tree like this is that they work in late game, but HOI don't really work in late game
Even like spain
They dont really as you'll never catch up
Couldn’t even naval invade Japanese as Qing empire
Nothing good about it
Non historical
You always end up to catch up
As tech have a limit
Plane : Exist
I can tell you with PRC, i have been able to completely Screw USA by 1947
Idc really
It was late game anyways
You can do it as luxembourg
Or something like algieria
Doesnt make them good interesting nations that have much to offer
They should add more scenarios
Brazil starts already with everything hugely debuffed for like 3 years
With PRC, i consider i can kill japan by 1942 or late 41 if i am somewhat ''lucky''
But yeah, chinese empire tree is the weakest of the big 3 china X)
Whole continent have less steel than poland
Which makes you rely 100% on importing resources which stucks your already average economy
You have more fuel, more steel (Just checked) ,More aluminium
But yeah lets remove everything else they had
Less aluminium without guyana
And that's including whole continent
Not only brazil
2 main resources
Now if you combine all polish resources to south american ones
Or at least base ones

Still nothing more important than steel
Which locks you out of everything
Poland-romania have already more oil too
Poland have 25 steel in 1936
SA have more than 100 + a lot of tungsten and a small bit of chromium
And you can get it earlier
36 in katowice alone
Another +24 from focus
And there's like 6 in other provinces
where your 36
Yep, it was overlapping on germany X), still less than SA
It's less lol
and then brazil have 46 here
It's from focus you get later
And it's less
+6 here
52?
My screen is in 1937 btw
we don't talk about focus but ressources
so yeah, SA Have more than poland in steel X)
They dont get it without focus
On poland ?
Katowice alone is 60 with all infrastructure it's 100+
Yeah
Ok so you take this argument and send it to trash cordially
And it's just pathetic how whole continent struggle with 1 country
That's low on resources
Brazil without focuses have 6 vs 60+
6x more for poland
even if you were true on the point of steel , there still lot of fuel and tungsten here X)
But yk what's best difference
It's whole south america
Literally with all their potential cores
Poland can core italy and ussr and west germany
And baltics
Wut ? Italy ?
Yes
