Yooo a communist Germany backing Georgian Stalin fight the Tsarists would be insane

buoyant ore
#

naah if we get a middle east tree update then they gotta include georgia where if a russian civil war happens and georgia breaks away, stalin can flee to georgia to restart the USSR if the white russians win the civil war

fresh cedar
#

Like restart USSR but in the middleast

buoyant ore
#

could be a cool mod ngl

fresh cedar
#

If Germany can do fourth Reich

#

Stalinist middleast would be cool

#

Like Arabian Soviet Socialist Republic

solid gyro
#

USSR 2

buoyant ore
#

like if stalin flees to georgia then he can unite the region to the Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic

fresh cedar

Bad acronym actually 😭

Can’t really spam factories there

I conquered the world as Finland in 2017

#

I had like 20 factories

fresh cedar
#

Finland has OP buffs though

solid gyro
#

Now they do

fresh cedar
#

Or you’re saying old Finland

solid gyro
#

Yes

fresh cedar
#

2017 HOI4 was baby mode compared to now imo

#

Was genuinely easy to world conquest

solid gyro
#

I did it again for the Finnish him achievement in 2020 or whenever they made the achievement vote

fresh cedar
#

I just think they’re in a better location

#

Transcausica kinda surrounded

#

Though I did take the world as Bhutan once

solid gyro
#

Before the supply rework Finland suffered the same debuffs Soviet union did in the winter war

#

Which was pain

buoyant ore
#

cant wait to form austria hungary for the 500th time now but actually as austria

Cant wait to...

fresh cedar
#

It’s strong just meh

solid gyro
#

True

fresh cedar
#

Though it is better than before

solid gyro
#

It's been a paradox trend for the last few years to make every country op

#

Estonia world conquest is easy af

fresh cedar
#

Manpower is nasty though

solid gyro
#

Real

#

It's most countries downfall

#

Because focuses give industry but manpower not so much

fresh cedar
#

New commie weekly manpower is nice

dense gale
#

no country can be op

#

if every country is op 🙂

what the hell there is helicopters coming?

chilly drum
#

Yes, the very first ones as support companies

#

There are two types IIRC

#

None of them are attack type, to early for this

solid gyro
#

What time will the DLC release tomorrow? can anyone tell me?

Oh my god

Also there's this from the devs 18:00 CET

Ima just send this as an idea for next major dlc after the country pack

Also, what do they mean by this?

tacit sequoia

Possibly Adam Hilt

Welcome to eastern Europe

I could use a hour more, but unfortunately, Im an adult

stable tusk
#

I'm gonna be at school when it comes out (Well I'm at school rn but that doesn't matter)

tacit sequoia
#

Idk why

#

But I have a feeling due to the age of the DLC. Just like the first 3 (death by dishonor, waking the tiger, together for victory), I also have a feeling there maybe either a Little Entente country pack, or a brand new China Country Pack or South East Asian Pack.

The new dlc be included with the monthly subscription right?

Guys when does the DLC release?

obtuse wren
#

1 day left🎉

harsh hull
#

Good, the less time they have to spend asking when Götterdämmerung releases is more time for them to spend asking when Graveyard of Empires comes out and where the dev diaries for those will be released

woven tangle
chilly drum
#

Yeah, I want to know where is urban warfare they promised

fresh cedar

#

High hopes for the India tree

fresh cedar
#

India could be so good

#

Watch the strongest buffs for India only get applied if you decide to fracture into princely states

stable tusk
fresh cedar
#

Was thinking moreso of India being divided into 4-5 parts

chilly drum
#

..okay, am I having some sort of mandella effect or whatever kids call it this days, I clearly remember a mention of reworked city combat

#

That was suppousedly should be coming this dlc

fresh cedar
#

I think some units do better in cities now and forts have new levels in cities

#

Apart from that idk

harsh hull
#

The store page did mention something about deadlier urban warfare, but that part's been changed to mentioning reworks to atomic warfare in the meantime

#

Which, you know, about the same thing

chilly drum
fresh cedar
#

Ahhh

#

That’s awesome they’re reworking city combat

harsh hull
#

Well, there you go

fresh cedar
#

Stalingrad will go crazy

#

Idk why no one is talking about the addition of minefields on land

stable tusk
chilly drum
fresh cedar
#

Minefields could be one of the main reasons forts were nerfed

chilly drum
#

For the dlc.

chilly drum
#

But it was oopsie and its actually coming free next dlc

fresh cedar
#

Yet no one cares 😭

chilly drum
#

They havent showed us anything about mines

#

I belive

#

But mine crawlers

#

Which are cool, but still.

fresh cedar
#

Mine sweeper tanks would mean the addition of mines

harsh hull
#

The rework is that you have to beat the Stalingrad level of Call of Duty II in order to succeed in the siege of Stalingrad

fresh cedar
#

It’s like having anti aircraft in a game without aircraft

harsh hull
#

Die once and the battle instantly fails

fresh cedar
#

There must not be mines

chilly drum
#

..what if they are mole spankers?

#

Secret farming mechanic confirmed?

fresh cedar
#

Mole new animal leader confirmed?

chilly drum
#

...heck, Im gonna rewatch incredibles

#

Anyway, looks like mines are in the game, sure, but if they work anything like naval mines, than...

#

Well, its not like they are useless, but its just a case of barely any naval region actually supporting them.

fresh cedar
#

Feel like it would just raise division attrition and losses maybe

#

Maybe speed

#

+30% combat causalities, -30% division movement speed, +20% division attrition

#

Idk if it would apply to a tile or a state though

stable tusk
chilly drum
#

I dont think that the actuall combat engagements was happening on top of the minefields, its more like of a physical border that you either need to walk around or push trought somehow

#

Some history nerd can correct me on that.

chilly drum
fresh cedar
#

Speed bc detours, casualties bc choke points, attrition bc condensed supply lines

You’re the 100th person to ask today so it has been pinned

😁 hope that helps

#

And before you say no timezone, it’s a scripted message that auto sets itself to whoever looks at it

chrome vortex

i ve seen some other guy saying it s gona release at 6 cet

100th person to ask when it comes out, even though steam says. Even though it’s pinned

late knoll
#

Who in their right mind releases a major video game expansion on a THURSDAY MORNING smh

polar jasper
#

Not morning in Europe

late knoll
#

and with the current release date if the update is unstable or there are huge bugs, they only have one day to fix it before the weekend and who wants to work overtime on the weekend

#

releasing on monday would give them a whole workweek to respond to any production bugs

#

my 2 cents

polar jasper
#

The latter I can see a point

#

But I've seen BBA launch

late knoll
#

do we know how the new German Asia foreign policy tree works?

#

Like how does allying with Chiang Kai Shek over Japan look? Do they join your faction

polar jasper
#

Like Japan stays in co prosperity

#

Maybe China joins axis, but unlikely

late knoll
#

It would be cool if the Proud Eagle, Resurgent Dragon focus gave China claims on Outer Manchuria and they join Barbarossa

#

But that does seem a bit OP in my eyes

#

I don't get how PDX squares the circle around Chiang just giving up Qingdao to Hitler, you'd expect them to want that back

polar jasper
#

We'll find out tomorrow

I'm so impatient for this update haha

I tried setting my system time to tomorrow morning thinking it would let me download the DLC lol

Still hoping they actually add a Sweden, Finland, Italy, and France RK, because if they’re gonna give us rks for the entire world they can’t just leave those nations without rks

The "Historical" branch of Germany is gonna have so many leaders
We got Hitler, the 7 Inner Circle Dudes, and the one secret leader that Bitt3rSteel hinted at if you get the Oster Conspiracy to work

#

Cool little tidbit from the patch notes - remember how before BBA, the "Independent" State of Croatia would revolt when the Axis invaded Yugoslavia, as they did historically?

#

They fixed the AI so that Croatia has come back from the dead. Basically Yugo AI would always complete the decisions to crush the Ustashe, preventing them from forming. In real life they very obviously failed

nimble torrent
#

I'd be fine with operations to negate commander bonuses for a month

silent prism
#

Well, operatives can already negate some bonuses

nimble torrent
#

Stuff like that would be strong but doable
But outright killing a general?
You're making sure I put "brutal oppression" on your people if you do that

nimble torrent
silent prism

But to be fair, killing a general is a very big stuff

And getting oppressed in result sounds like a small feature

If Rommel died in hoi4 as he did irl, I'd still use him

silent prism
#

Like Rommel and Vatutin

#

Generals lvl 4 and 3 respectively

buoyant ore
#

when holy luxembourgen empire focus tree

nimble torrent
# silent prism I still use him

I dunno man
Imagine losing one of your most skilled generals at a pivotal moment
Next game I'm sure as shit not grinding him

silent prism
#

Well, to be fair

#

Before you lose him, he will do a lot of stuff

#

Actually

#

I main the USSR

#

I lost Vlasov once

nimble torrent
#

Yeah but if it's a spy operation you could lose him at any moment
You could lose him in 39 as in 45

silent prism
#

Well, it can have very hard requirments

#

Like, date is later than April 14th, 1943

#

For instance

#

Quick question: What time does the DLC come out (U.S. Est Std. Time)?

silent prism
#

Or just very low chance of success with big equipment requirments

#

And very long planning

# silent prism Or just very low chance of success with big equipment requirments

Imagine it from the pov of who's starting it
You are locking:
At least 1 spy for the Intel network
At least another for the operation
But realistically it's gonna take you 3 or more
Plus a long time
Meaning your spies can't do anything else
Plus a large stockpile
For a very low chance of success
So you waste time, ic and opportunities for this just to get realistically nothing

I don't want to sound like a hater, I love talking about this stuff and your idea is certainly cool
But it feels like gambling on the lottery, but instead of 1€ it costs 50 each day

silent prism
#

Hmmmmm

#

Makes sense

#

If you have to make something like it

#

How would you make it?

fallen kite
#

just a long planning time, a small (not too small) chance of success, and only one operative needed

#

typically the operation should just injure a general

#

Been 24h, new dlc coming?

but there is a special bonus chance to kill the general (small chance)

# silent prism How would you make it?

Operation
-Locked behind being spy master or some other thing (I'll explain later)
-2 spies, x days of planning (could be 2 months, could be 4, so 60-120 days)
-1k guns, 200 supp EQ, maybe more
-It gives for x/2 days the effect "Paralyzed high command" (No leader bonuses applied, at best this includes officers that you recruit with pp too!)

Now
The problem with this is balancing
Let's say it's a historical game
So allies and sov v axis
UK (spy master) does the op on the Germans
The Germans get the spirit
Sov (spy master too) does the same thing
Do the Germans get the debuff for twice as long? Does it auto fail? Does it do nothing?
It can be pretty frustrating to get so few bonuses and it's frustrating to waste time and ic on something just to get it snuffed out by someone else

Which is why I'd suggest limiting it so that it can be done once per year by each faction AND make sure if one happens while another's effect is still active it will increase the duration

# barren tusk don't you feel canada obsolet focus tree?

You could look at it that way, but considering every country has the capacity to feel outdated when compared to brand new content, I don't see it that way

Though I do want to see changes/improvements for it and other countries

And liberate Africa
