latest-updates

[scarlet canopy]

[thick edge]

U have the states needed for the hungery one?

[torpid junco]

What's NSB?

[fading walrus]

No step back

[torpid junco]

OH i got that one

[static granite]

the germans take slovakia from you when they do fate of czechoslovakia lol

[thick edge]

💀

[restive spindle]

transylvania, banat, Vojvodina, all of slovakia, Burgenland

the ones that the focus tree allows u to get

you dont need croatia which is good

[glacial otter]

yıı

yoo

i found a secret path

hre restoration

[thick edge]

Ooh

[static granite]

the german ai is doing really shit this game

[plucky crag]

Raaaaaah that thing crazyyyyy. And I almost did the same path rn, except I tried to invite italy

[thorny sable]

wtf

this event is really scuffed rn

[plucky crag]

XD

[plucky crag]

🤣🤣🤣

Devs should fix this dlc asap

[thorny sable]

Poland capped and the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact gave Germany all the land I've already taken

literally everything about this DLC is currently broken asf

I wonder whether the devs are even playtesting

[safe plover]

[copper oar]

Who shoulf I go for in the inner circle

[burnt sail]

hess, goering, goebles

[copper oar]

Why goering

[burnt sail]

good if u doing economy of conquest

if not go for sum1 else

[copper oar]

Ah i kinds chose the guy on the modt left instead

[woeful oasis]

Where's the Belgian government in exile focus tree?

[copper oar]

When can I sieze gold of cheko and austtia

Do I need to do a focus or sum

[fallen kite]

Hess, Todt, Whoever you want

That +1 base factory slots is too good to ignore

[trim quartz]

They should have added blondi as a leader for Germany

[woeful oasis]

Ah man the Austrian focus tree has nothing for the TIGR organization who were active there

[harsh hull]

Alright, I'll just say it - I understand why they didn't add Eupen-Malmedy and Prekmurje as their own states for this update, and respect the dev team's final choice

But I think it is silly that they don't do that in the update immediately after making the Amazon seven separate states

[boreal cape]

Is it possible to just prevent anschluss ?

[safe plover]

if u get a bigger army then germany yeah

[boreal cape]

So it was by Manpower ?

Tries some Inf Spam but managed to be Anschluss faster

[thorny sable]

no it's not I think

you can even Anschluss as Germany with a smaller army

that army counter thingy goes down to 0.001x

or something like that

the lowest I saw it was like 0.231

or something around that

[tacit sequoia]

If you make the central powers yeah

[safe plover]

why sail to the usa ?💀

did anyone found out already how to get the secret leader of georgia?

[mossy rapids]

when new dlc

graevyard of empires

[fallen kite]

Waiter! Waiter!

More [purchases], please!

[mossy rapids]

Is this normal?

The focus is not focusing

[hearty blade]

what is?

[mossy rapids]

and ive been waiting and it doesnt complete

oh nvm

it literally just finished LOL

[hearty blade]

himmler is slow researcher

he's not sharpest shed in the tool so it may occur that he's slow with researching

/ doing focuses

[white inlet]

is it just me or do the austrian subjugation decisions completely break if you have one ongoing and join a faction with the person ur doing it with (pact of rome)

[mossy rapids]

Lol

[hearty blade]

not just u

they break for no reason sometimes

(in my experienced)

the most unpolished tree in the whole dlc is the austrian one

legit unplayable. ive been able to do it ONCE and never again

hope they get to that ASAP because its genuinely horrid

[wicked nexus]

Hm, yes.

[mossy rapids]

How?

[lyric hinge]

are rockets limited by the the speed and bombing caps present in the defines

[hoary siren]

Next major dlc when?

[hollow coral]

not for a while

[rocky oasis]

Soon(TM)

[merry veldt]

so this happened

[lusty spruce]

Go civil war, get expatriated/exiled communists back, hang all Nazis, go Kaiser, then do the expatriate the communists focus. Afterwards, you should gain a political advisor, "Otto Strasser"-- boosting fascism. Switch to Fascist, either via civil war (untested by me) or by political discourse. Now you should have Otto Strasser as leader, and have access to the Kaiser tree and foreign policy, which opens some fun doors in forming a Nazbol HRE and European Union.

[stable tusk]

You need to Rally the Wehrmacht and then go Fascist after somehow

[shadow sphinx]

Weird, why is Patrice Lumumba a possible advisor to the Congo.

He shouldn't be old enough.

[mossy rapids]

awesome

[zinc goblet]

What are your opinions on the different new Prototype Techs?

[copper oar]

Does anybody else also feel like the game is 10x harder

[haughty tree]

I'm doing historical Soviet Union and I'm afraid of Barbarossa now 😛

I'm trying to do No Step Back achievement no less

[vale rover]

I wouldn’t say 10 but at least 4 times harder yeah

[void nacelle]

definetly bro 😭

[plucky crag]

Bruh invade poland and puppet belarus and ukraine

And do not invite them into war

Then only defend coastline, finland, romania and japan border

[summer spear]

Depending on nation and goal, they range from absolutely useless to must have

But most aren't really that bad or OP

[barren tusk]

that flag is normal chat?

easter egg?

[barren tusk]

as it should be

[thick edge]

fr!

[austere pelican]

Has anyone done rexit belgium run?

[solid gyro]

This comes next year out

[polar jasper]

That is like the German anti-nazi resistance flag

[barren tusk]

Oh, looks like Scandinavian

[polar jasper]

It does, partially why they restored the tricolor instead of using that flag

[barren tusk]

That's my question I understand at the beginning but why not the current flag

[surreal cradle]

i dont even

know how

but i am NOT complaining

[pearl radish]

I think the updated German historical tree was given out to everyone for free, regardless if you have the dlc or not I think

[surreal cradle]

oh

hm

cool

[stable tusk]

Historical Germany and special projects were free, don't worry you aren't going crazy

[pseudo wing]

some of the raids, special projects and science stuff was all made free, alongside historical tree as chicken here mentioned

everyone got a lil' something

[fallen kite]

I think it was just the nuclear raids

[unreal mountain]

World first

Yepee

[barren tusk]

Huge name steam leak

[surreal cradle]

?

[craggy cave]

is paradox aware of deploying missles desyncing the game in MP?

[fathom thicket]

Guys we can do cuban missile crisis with new dlc!

Nuclear rockers!

[dense gale]

Make bug report

[craggy cave]

already

[solid gyro]

Trying to put missiles on a submarine does the same I think

In single player I was wondering what was going on

[fading walrus]

I think the next DLC with either be a USA/Industry rework or a Japan/faction rework

[worn depot]

thats the new ai cordination

they concentrate their forces at points to push

and from what im hearing naval invading the UK is way harder now that the AI actually defends their coast

[solid gyro]

Honestly it was only harder for my first couple of games before I adapted to it

You have to be a bit more careful and you're all good

[elder wren]

I suck at the game so now I just suck even more

[sage verge]

Rip

[fallen kite]

i didn't see it

but that was probably because I did it well

send 9 infantry on a naval invasion, cut them in half, had a wide front in Africa because I did the colab government vichy france trick so they have to send more forces overseas, and once the infantry landed send 24 infantry, 9 motorized, and 9 beefy medium tank divisions to the port as well

use the operation planning bonus too

they didn't stand a chance

the motorized divisions were super fast and quickly took out the north and took land, the infantry body blocked and if they tried to stack the medium tanks busted through

Plus I had green air since I had spent a while bleeding out the UK air force over the channel (I don't have BBA so it was actually a challenge)

I didn't even take London, I took the rest of England and then London because all their divisions were down there

if I didn't have the motorized it probably would have been much more difficult so remember kids 14 kilometers per hour plus a recon company is no joke

[glacial otter]

but it shows a mutual branch next on the start

[glacial otter]

yes

[daring forge]

yeah with the old alt hist tree

[glacial otter]

DUDE WHAT

[stable tusk]

That's the Waking the Tiger alt hist

[fresh cedar]

Feel like missile subs aren’t really worth. Why would I invest so much time and energy into it if I can just build ICBM’s

[polar jasper]

Assert dominance, get even closer to the enemy

SLBMs are cheaper than ICBMs

[median zinc]

Whats that czechoslovakia?

[trail trench]

help plz

[daring cape]

you can roll back the update until you feel like you feel ready for the newer DLC

HOI4--> Properties ---> Betas

[polar jasper]

Maybe stop attacking

[safe geode]

Did the AI become less stupid

Something is different

[harsh hull]

Short answer: yes

[elder wren]

How do I get better at the game to begin with?

I always get pushed back or can't push

[fallen kite]

do you have tanks

i used to not use good tanks

then I did and everything got so much better

[stable tusk]

Yes

[gusty urchin]

how to get kaiserin right now

[polar bronze]

same thing happened to me after ||taking over switzerland||

[digital mural]

Wait why is there a kingdom of Prussia in East Prussia?

[polar bronze]

germany was in my faction and they started declaring on everybody when I was very fragmented and weak to I kicked them and betrayed them and in the peace deal i managed to puppet prussia

[digital mural]

So this will be a second war?

[polar bronze]

the second war ended up being against russia

[digital mural]

Most realistic tank ever

[fading cosmos]

It’s like 10 tanks in 1

Value

[vague oasis]

Bro is playing realistic ww2 scenario

[long ruin]

Does Belgium only have four research slots ?

[solid gyro]

"only"

[long ruin]

I mean most countries get 5

[solid gyro]

Most minors get 3

[long ruin]

Yeah Belgium gets 3 starting

What I’m saying is I don’t see the focus for five research slots

There’s one in the industry tree

[summer spear]

Pretty sure that's more than most minors, since a lot of them starts with 2 only

[long ruin]

Dude what I’m saying is

Belgium can’t get five

I don’t care about it’s starting

[summer spear]

So can't lot of other minors

Like, best you can get is 6

[long ruin]

The thing is Belgium could get five before this update

Or if you deactivate

[scarlet canopy]

am i the only one who thinks that german ai is broken?

they never pick a path after the civil war

[thorny sable]

they sometimes do

I've seen them ask for eastern Poland once

[thorny sable]

no

just more annoying

if you've semi good divisions you can still just overrun it

[scarlet canopy]

in this run they didnt, they just go to a civil war not because of a focus but because of a party popularity

and i took the chance and manage to take them down after it ended

[fading walrus]

France starts with 3

as well as the USSR

Though I think France should start with 4 TBH

[hexed mango]

Guyz

Made a post regarding some issues/bugs with the dlc

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/things-that-i-have-encountered-so-far-in-the-new-dlc-that-do-not-work-so-well-and-need-to-be-fixed.1715205/#post-30010883

Help me make the devs see it

Tyvm

[summer spear]

Both, France and USSR are majors

And pretty sure they can get up to 5

[thick edge]

USA can get 6 slots in 36

[solid gyro]

Honestly I think USA and Germany should be the only ones with 6, rest of the majors 5

[summer spear]

In 37 at best

[thick edge]

Luxembourg,Tuva,Bhutan get 10

[summer spear]

It needs 7x 70 days focuses to get those

[summer spear]

USA could use a new focus tree first

Together with Japan

[thick edge]

A pacific update

New USA/japan focus tree

Siam

Malaysia, indies, or Philippines

With small focus trees

[summer spear]

Malaya and India would most likely fall under another British Commonwealth DLC if there will be any

[solid gyro]

I'm betting US and Japan will be the next major DLC, south east asia will be a country pack

UK and it's puppets in expansion pass 3

[fading walrus]

true

[fading walrus]

the Raj was confirmed for the next DLC Graveyard of Empires

though Malaya needs a focus tree too

[summer spear]

i thought it was afganistan DLC but didn't really check it

[fading walrus]

its adding the Raj

not sure why

but I'm fine with it

oh I know why

the Pashtuns in Pakistan

because in the 1840's the UK drew the borders to make Afghanistan more of a buffer between the Raj and the Russian Empire

curious to see the alt history of India (I just don't want a Mughal path because the Mughals are irrelevent by 1936)

same goes for Persia and a Zoroastrian revival path in 1936

and I like Zoroastrian Persia

I just don't think they fit in a WWII game

[summer spear]

i think its going too far into fiction at this point

[fading walrus]

true

anyways if the romaboos want to play a Rome game they should play Rome total war or Attila Total war

like I do

Western Roman Empire in attila is insanly difficult but fun and rewarding

PS I gave my self this username as I play the Western Roman Empire in Attila alot

[summer spear]

there are other PDX games where they can go do that

or use mods

[fading walrus]

true

[tacit sequoia]

i got an invis ping 🤔

[thick edge]

Who pinged

[tacit sequoia]

prolly staff cuz it came from #hearts-of-iron-news

[chilly drum]

https://tenor.com/view/everyone-discord-gif-18237159

[pseudo wing]

could be discord doing discord things

sometimes the ping doesn't go out on time and it just... goes off whenever it wants

[fresh cedar]

Like how people are already starting to make special project mods

Feel like it’ll be pretty good for standalone mods

[fresh cedar]

While this is true the same could be said for many polities that exist in the game. I think since Mussolini had the “restore Rome” idea, it kinda opens to floor for any country to pursue former colonial ambitions

Would find it more interesting to have a Princely states federative/faction path that divides India but gives them strong individual buffs.

[thick edge]

There are mods for it?

[fresh cedar]

Someone made a Mech mod

Using the special project mechanic

I hope they do a landmark dlc. It’s so cool watching the destruction animations. Favorite gotta be the Statue of Liberty and Christ Redeemer destructions

[fading walrus]

lol typical modern Total war fans I found their response to my comment when I was telling them about the DLC before it was even announced

doesn't help that they love the worst games in their decaying total war franchise

[fresh cedar]

The Warhammer ones are good but tbh the last time I seriously played total war was Empire

Atleast paradox makes new games and features. Total war are just reskins

[fading walrus]

yeah these guys are braindead

[fresh cedar]

Paradox 100% milks DLC but it does make new and unique content

[fading walrus]

agreed

[thick edge]

💸

Paradox ^

[fresh cedar]

All total war does is milk with reskins. Zero innovation

[fading walrus]

no innovation since 2015

[fresh cedar]

Legit

If anything it’s getting worse

I loved the naval combat in empire

[fading walrus]

yes

[fresh cedar]

My one friend has like 20k hours in total war games

He plays them every day

I just don’t get it

It’s like a dumbed down version of paradox games

[fading walrus]

exactly

[fresh cedar]

They’re very pretty and the battles look cool

But my god they’re shallow

[feral rampart]

Does the fuhrer die when berlin is captured by the Soviets in the new dlc

[fresh cedar]

Idk, that would involve me playing something other than Germany

[solid gyro]

Honestly my favorite feature from the dlc is 14 day focuses

gotta love em

[stable tusk]

This means Czech democratic path isn't unique anymore tho

[solid gyro]

deport hungarians

[stable tusk]

TWR moment

[unique wedge]

Why is there no option for a reichsprotecterate in France or Italy?

[crimson quail]

I played the civil war and it happened right after I got berlin

[crimson quail]

Did you do the focus to create the reichsprotecterate?

[unique wedge]

Yes

[stable tusk]

Because of Vichy France and the Italian Social Republic ig

[unique wedge]

There are options for everything else in the world

[rocky oasis]

Currently the only issue I have with the DLC aside from the bugs is that Germany didn’t get more generals.

Granted that is mostly a flavor thing than an actual gameplay problem.

[polar jasper]

Many are unlocked through the focus tree

[fresh cedar]

Does he die or flee

[rocky oasis]

No, I meant new ones. Not ones that were already in-game. For example, von Falkenhorst, the guy in charge of the invasion of Norway is not a general for Germany.

[feral rampart]

Ik but when the Soviets do

[feral rampart]

nor is the leader of the condor legion

[crimson quail]

ig die

[crimson quail]

a bug then ig

[polar jasper]

There are some more like the new field marshal and a few others

I think there is a new panzer general or 2 too

[rocky oasis]

Guderian and Rommel were already in game. They are just locked behind a focus now.

[polar jasper]

No I mean like Klist

Or whatever his name is

There is also a new field marshal

And a couple others

They get removed if you go ribbentrop

[fading walrus]

Why go Nazi when you can go Kaiser

[polar jasper]

I was saying that those generals get removed if you do it

[rocky oasis]

My point was that I just feel like there should be more generals for the historical German path, especially since there are some that are only advisors for some reason.

Von Falkenhorst, the person in charge of the German invasion of Norway is in game as an advisor for Finland, but not as a general available to Germany.

[rocky oasis]

Kleist was already in game though.

[polar jasper]

Idk, I always use like the same generals every game

First time I used this guy

Never seen him before

[polar jasper]

Is he the panzer officer with like 4 attack

[thorny dust]

well Falkenhorst is kind of busy in China if i remember right

[rocky oasis]

That is Falkenhausen

[fresh cedar]

I think Hitler can flee to Austria now

[crimson quail]

thats interesting

[fresh cedar]

Stalin can flee to Georgia too, looks Gaunt and has no facial hair

[crimson quail]

bruh

[safe plover]

How do u do that exactly

[fresh cedar]

Georgia must exist, and the White Russians must beat Stalin. Then he flees to Georgia

[digital mural]

Has Georgia to be commie?

[fresh cedar]

No idea haven’t done it

I think there may be a way for Austria to get Hitler too

[stable tusk]

There needs to be a civil war in Germany and Austria has to flip Fascist

Other than that idk

[fresh cedar]

Like flip after Germany is gone if

[stable tusk]

Yeah idk, I saw someone flip while the civil war was happening

[fresh cedar]

Does he have any unique traits as an Austrian?

I think Stalin does as Georgia

[stable tusk]

There's one that increases Fascism support and one that increases compliance in the UK, you pick in an event

[fresh cedar]

Oh that’s kinda cool

[stable tusk]

The second one is a reference to a skit

First one is called "Propaganda Artist" or something

[fallen kite]

also

RKs are terrible if you have a colab government

like why would I want to create a puppet that doesn't have cores on the state and so can't get me the maximum output when I can just have a puppet that does (and gives me 75% of all their factories)

[safe plover]

I tried that but it didnt work

[fresh cedar]

I may try to get it with commands this weekend

Just to see

[static granite]

yeah this is a little crazy

50 soft attack from 3 of them

and they go 12 km/h so they dont even mess up your speed

[fading walrus]

agreed RK's are for LARP only

[fallen kite]

The one time I used them

Was the Poland general goverment

And only cause it was really small, had the big resistance states, and I wanted some added buffs

Also, the integrating Czechoslovakia focus is very cool

You get a ton of compliance on them (although that may have partly been the collab government I had on them doing’s it’s magic

[waxen spire]

can it be that the German civil war become more difficult now?

[thick edge]

Where tf is self propelled

I can’t find it

I researched it

[static granite]

idk

i dont remember how to unlock it

i just remember selecting it

[static granite]

it feels like it is a little harder now

still very easy because of the war hero buff

[waxen spire]

Somehow I can't manage to win it anymore i dont know what i do wrong

[static granite]

you can start off by deleting the entire army

and if you're really struggling you can put all of your equipment on the market right before the civil war starts

and then cancel it once you're the military junta

[static granite]

and then spamming out the smallest unit you have

and converting it to infantry

and dont forget about airplanes

[waxen spire]

ok i can try it

ty

[static granite]

after that you can just battleplan it

[waxen spire]

i give it up it want not more that i win it wow Before the DLC you found out how the civil war works to win and now it becomes harder

[static granite]

wut

[static granite]

i dont really know what you mean by this

[waxen spire]

i mean before the new dlc i had first learned how the civil war works and now its difficult for me

[static granite]

yeah i noticed that too

but it only delayed their downfall a little

[waxen spire]

well i try it tomorrow again if i have sleep here is it 4am im looking forward to lose later again but for now good night

[static granite]

alright gn

[rocky oasis]

Graveyard of Empires Predictions
India- East India Company (confirmed by steam page), either multiple different monarch candidates like the Congo or some sort of council of princes, fascist Indian independence path, Communist independence path, democratic Indian independence path, maybe trees for Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Iran- Monarchist path which sees the Persian Empire revived, Islamic Revolution, fascist path, communist path, Hitler can become emperor of fascist Persia as Darius IV or something.
Iraq- Pan-Arab path, Golden Square fascist path, Assyrian Empire? Sumerian Empire? Babylonian Empire?
Afghanistan- multiple focuses that upgrade the Graveyard of Empires spirit until it becomes impossible to invade Afghanistan, monarchist path, fascist path to prevent revolution or the fascist path could be something similar to the Ethiopian warlords, revolution path where you can choose to go democratic or communist.

[open vault]

also formables

mughal empire

and ima call it joke focus tree for either nepal or bhutan

or at least event chain/decision

[hollow coral]

Bro i hope they add another french delusional path for india

House of bourbon bhopal

[solid gyro]

Taliban secret path for Afghanistan

[outer whale]

Is there's leopold congo?

Also

Why do we still don't have white peace option with the

Colonial powers

When we defeat the british Portugal and french
Like do we need to march to their capital to take their lands

[thick edge]

Why do only thermonuclear bombs destroy division strength and org?

[hollow coral]

yeh they should disintegrate the divisions with no hope of ever recovering them ever again

[sinful portal]

they really forgot to update for no dlc players

not being able to core southern sudetenland when completing form austria hungary focus that cores austria as hungary

[sinful portal]

and after this you automatically bypasses protect czechoslovakia focus for no reason even tho i didnt clicked in decisions

in german civil war you cant stop silisian uprising

because focus that stops them is not in base game

which gives u -50 pp and -5 stability

ai german empire kind of sucks now

they dont make divisions more than 50

[severe tulip]

hey guys, now with special projects has paradox added console commands that let you research them instantly? i'd like to mess around with them

[rugged gazelle]

What is the most realistic candidate for the king of Hungary? The old prince (right choice) or the fascist king?

[fresh cedar]

It’s crazy because all of that is relatively new on the Steam page. Very hyped for that

[fresh cedar]

Horty

[rugged gazelle]

No, Horty didn't want to reign

It's a meme path

[fresh cedar]

I’m guessing princely will have 3 options. A council, an individual centralized empire, or a faction of multiple kingdoms

[fresh cedar]

Yet he easily could have, hence the most likely as he could’ve obtained such the easiest.

[rugged gazelle]

But he didn't because he was a monarchist

[fading walrus]

so

[fresh cedar]

Right but that completely depends on him wanting to or not. Had he wanted to, he would have been

[fading walrus]

its not even that bad of a meme path

compared to the Monarchist Chile one

[fresh cedar]

Very plausible path imo

Much Moreso than pretty much any other from the dlc

[fading walrus]

Monarchist Chile is basically some crazy french dude taking over south America and France because he is king of Chile and is French

[fresh cedar]

Do you guys think graveyard of empires could potentially spark revolutions in the Asian steppe and make them break off from the Soviets?

[fading walrus]

totally

[fresh cedar]

Or coring the entire Americas as native Americans

[fading walrus]

yeah that one too

[fresh cedar]

Do we know what the highest scientist level is?

[rugged gazelle]

Idk. India and Iraq are the most interesting because them were involved in the war

[fading walrus]

Iran was too

USSR and UK invaded them

in 1941

would be an intresting survival challange

[fresh cedar]

Everyone but Afghanistan was involved

[rugged gazelle]

Iran wasn't involved, was invaded

I mean

It wasn't an active actor

Iraq was active compared to Iran, Iraq did a 1 month war against uk

I don't remember how long the war lasted

[fading walrus]

anyways I'm gonna reinstall the Kaiser and rebuild the Highseas fleet

MEFO bills suck now (which is good)

the better long term option is Priortized Economic growth

[rugged gazelle]

But I asked about Hungary. Excluding Horty (because Horty didn't want to be a king) who's the most plausible?

[fading walrus]

probably the other Hapsburg

[rugged gazelle]

Otto or the other?

[fading walrus]

the other

I remember Germanys old alt history stuff I could fit it 5-10 times in here

also should I protect Poland or bully them

[fresh cedar]

Are we talking 1936 or what

[rugged gazelle]

Yes 1936

[fresh cedar]

I’d guess Fascist or other Habsburg

[fading walrus]

goodbye MEFO bills you won't be missed

[dapper fjord]

i forgot.. do we get secret project like guided glide bomb like fritz x for anti-ship(?)

[fresh cedar]

I believe that is one, you can still get the guided ship missile

Though I think it’s a product of a more general special project

[solid gyro]

damn a new guide

does it like explain every new change?

[pseudo wing]

it should go over all the new mechanics you can use, but also the ones from previous DLC's too

[solid gyro]

oh so its more of an in-depth guide

beginner guide 2

ngl its a pretty good thing as having ppl from paradox making guides would mean more accurate facts

[pseudo wing]

not really a beginner guide, seeing as beginner is moreso the base mechanics and learning to do things pertaining to your armies/div compositions etc

Advanced is moreso to go over the additional mechanics ontop of it that have been added, especially the new GDR ones that modify your playstyle a lot more now

[solid gyro]

nah i mean something like a "continuation" to the beginner guide, as its next step to understanding the game

which is yeah, what you said lol

[fresh cedar]

Hey Chak, do you know if scientists have a max level? I know spies max is lvl 2.

[pseudo wing]

I don't think they do, but this is another case of I didn't think to ask tbh

[fresh cedar]

Dang

[pseudo wing]

I think they function the same way as spies but I cannot be sure

[fresh cedar]

Got one to lvl 4 yesterday and made me wonder

[pseudo wing]

a guess could be there is a soft cap at 4-5

[fresh cedar]

It still was able to lvl up past that. It seems like the xp requirement doubles every time

[pseudo wing]

also, I do not have an answer from your question from yesterday regarding the cores for Volks

[fresh cedar]

So kinda has diminishing returns ig

[fresh cedar]

Thanks for remembering

[pseudo wing]

I have to wait till probably around Thursday to ask it, since I won't be around tomorrow, and the person I could ask the question to wasn't at work at the same time as me today so its a bit of telephone tag type deal aha

[fresh cedar]

I just couldn’t see the point in integrating a puppet if it didn’t give cores tbh. Like no point in making a VK to begin and integrating

[fresh cedar]

No worries, appreciate the diligence

[thorny sable]

MIO increases night penalty instead of decreasing it lol

[stable tusk]

Ok, since GoE is a countrypack there is a chance that it's made by the secondary team (Like with BftB and TOA), and I just hope they lock in with this one

Please secondary Hoi team 🙏

[shrewd locust]

hello evrybody

[polar jasper]

That bomber will explode when sneezed at

[thorny sable]

I just wanted to try something funny and I realised that the MIO is bugged

[stoic mist]

Is it just me, or is unaided AI Germany way weaker now than before? It gets soundly thrashed by the Allies and Comintern by late 1944.

[fresh cedar]

MEFO and AI changes if I had to guess

[solid gyro]

lvl 20 💀

[fading walrus]

I seriously need a Habsburg Hungary guide

[digital mural]

This discord is amazing. People ask things to devs and they directly ask that in their work!!! I’ve never seen this before, and it is wholesome.
Pls continue this you help us all

[thorny sable]

obv I didn't get it to that lvl legit

[fading walrus]

what DLC did you guys hate on Launch

I disliked La Resistance because of all the bugs

its fine now

but every civil war was unplayble

[worn depot]

For me it was man the guns as the extreme amount of naval techs and the naval designer made me avoid the navy stuff like the plague

[fading walrus]

when it was released

[fading walrus]

fair answer

[digital mural]

Probably No Step Back because I didn’t understand anything.
Now it is my favorite one

[fresh cedar]

Probably Arms Against Tyranny. Feel like many of the nations were buggy and so rigidly locked behind focuses that you could never really innovate. Plus your neighbors would constantly ruin your game due to bullshitery but that was ironed out

[void nacelle]

sp_research_all i think

[wary geyser]

yup https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Console_commands

[safe plover]

perfection

[noble sinew]

holy shit wait ca u give me the fps mod pls

[safe plover]

Its on steam lol

[noble sinew]

like the link

i cant find a working one

[fresh cedar]

Does anyone have any meta templates for early game in the newest patch?

[burnt granite]

has the base game been updated?

[stable tusk]

Yes, added some special projects and historical Germany

[burnt granite]

whats the difference between the base game update and the new dlc?

[stable tusk]

DLC also adds more special projects like missles, helicopters, and Habakkuk (ice carrier) as well as landmarks, raids, and focus trees for Belgium, Austria, the Congo, Hungary, and Alternate History Germany

[harsh hull]

Now more than ever does the Czechoslovakia rework need to happen

Imagine spending 500 pp to get everyone in your faction just for perfidious Bohemia to give up like that

[fresh cedar]

Now more than ever 20 countries deserve a rework before Czechoslovakia 😂

Malaysia, Burma, the warlords, China, PRC, Manchuko, Japan, Mongolia, USA, England, France, the Phillipines, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Siam, pacific islands

[polar jasper]

Pacific islands?

No

The others I can agree with

Except Burma too

That is just part of Raj

[hollow coral]

They might get some content in the next dlc

Cuz it became a seperate colony in 1937

[jolly bluff]

I’m pretty sure the next rework will be a Pacific Rework considering the fact that the next Country Pack, Graveyard of Empires, will rework the British Raj and add content to Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. So I’m guessing with a Raj Rework we could be having the groundwork being laid for a proper Burma Front.

[summer spear]

I just hope it will be Japan and USA rework combined with another naval rework

[outer whale]

Well

If they don't freaking bring white peace mechanics

It'll be like japan

Paradox seriously needs to bring a proper white peace mechanics

Like congo example

Bro why do I have to conquer Paris to get my claims from French kamerun

Or why do I have to conquer London to force UK to give up their colonial lands

It will highly be same with Pacific rework

Example you are Thailand and wants to take your lands from france

You took all over the French indo china and hoping to win the war?

NAH

You need to march your army to Paris and then London with the glorious Thai flag and then annexing the French indo china 🔥

Paradox just stopped adding white peace mechanics for other nations after the AAT
Like finland and etihophia has it after that south american dlc nah this new dlc nah

[burnt sail]

Agreed

[solid gyro]

They should rework diplomacy completely

[outer whale]

Yes

[hollow coral]

I think justifying war shouldnt be like 100 days

If you justify on a state, once you take it you can demand peace

If you want to conquer multiple states you need to justify which will cost more

[solid gyro]

It feels dumb that complete and unconditional surrender is the only option

Conditional surrender is an option but it's never used

[solid gyro]

hoi4 aint a diplomacy sim its a war sim shouldnt be a priority its fine as is

[summer spear]

War is a bloody diplomacy, while diplomacy is bloodless war

Or smthing like that

[solid gyro]

It's not a war simulator it's a ww2 game

clueless

its not a war simulator its a world war simulator

It's not a simulator it's a game

[solid gate]

tbh better diplomacy system would make the game more immersive its good

[solid gyro]

Improve relations button is equivalent of boost ideology before La resistance, the system should be changed

[hollow coral]

no?

[solid gyro]

It's literally just a button

With no depth in it

[hollow coral]

The boost ideology button was different from improve relations was it not?

[summer spear]

Nah, it was just pressing one button and waiting

Just took longer compared to improve relations

[solid gyro]

There could be an entire ambassador system, you could hire and send ambassadors to countries who would unlock diplomatic missions and decisions

[hollow coral]

There should be like a recognised state and unrecognised state system

Example a warlord shouldnt be able to join factions because it isnt internationally recognised

[summer spear]

They could modify spies system to be like that

[hollow coral]

Like communist japan making an alliance with a bunch of guerillas is kinda bs

[summer spear]

Its over complicating things at this point tbh

[hollow coral]

Idk its an interesting idea

It make it easier to conquer a breakaway without having to fight the entire allies

Basically once you enter into a war against the axis you just become a minor that cant do much because you declared on fascist armenia

[fresh cedar]

Pacific Islands, where much of the pacific war was fought, that wasn’t as basic as depicted in game? Yes. 😁

[fresh cedar]

Kinda what I think too, probably would be late 2025 though

[fresh cedar]

Pretty sure a few countries in game are already like that. Anarchist Spain, 5th empire Portugal

[summer spear]

By "like that" you mean unable to join factions?

[fresh cedar]

Yes, warlords would effectively be in the same boat as other countries

[summer spear]

But that's because of their special national focuses

Isnt it?

[fresh cedar]

For some reason I thought it was a trait they got via focuses. So warlords having a similar trait wouldn’t be that out there

[summer spear]

They have to join chinese faction tho

Them not being able to create faction would make sense tho

[fading walrus]

USA should be reworked along with Industry

Japan with navy I guess

[fresh cedar]

USA should have one of the strongest industries in the game

But apparently Austria should get more industry buffs than the USA

[fading walrus]

yeah and they should be nerfed into oblivion at the start of the game

[fresh cedar]

Even though the USA overwhelmed enemies with industry 😭

[fading walrus]

exactly 50,000 Shermans vs 9,000 Panzer IVs

[fresh cedar]

Yet the game is the opposite

[summer spear]

USA, Industry, Japan and Navy should be reworked at the same time if anything

[fading walrus]

true

[summer spear]

Not only industry but also quality and logistics

[fading walrus]

I have an attachment to the pacific war if anything as my Great Grandfather fought there

shame its neglected

compared to Europe

[fresh cedar]

Should get reliability buffs. Oh trust me I’ve brought it up to paradox before. They kinda just brushed it off 😂

[fading walrus]

and Africa and South America

[summer spear]

Neither Japan nor USA had their trees reworked

[fading walrus]

yes

and they both their current focus trees are old enough to be in museam

[summer spear]

They had just communist and fascist trees added

[fading walrus]

true and they were so poorly researched

if anything the USA should have 3 communist options and 2 fascist options

[summer spear]

They are the same since launch with addition of alternative patches

[fading walrus]

along with 2 or 3 democratic options

[fresh cedar]

Man the Guns kinda but so dated and irrelevant bc Power Creep

[fading walrus]

I don't think the USA should have Monarchy path period

[fresh cedar]

Aren’t the same from launch at all trust me lol

[summer spear]

Man the guns added only alternative options, not reworked trees

[fresh cedar]

Waking the Tiger and Man the Guns changed both I believe

[wicked topaz]

No let them do their thing

Monarchist usa path would be funny

Make it a secret path

[fading walrus]

true but who would be king of America

[fading walrus]

this

[wicked topaz]

Jimmy Carter

[fading walrus]

make Mac Arthur Caeser of America

[fresh cedar]

A king at the end of the day is just someone with power

[summer spear]

There is a monarchist option for USA already

[fading walrus]

he's 12

in 1936

[fresh cedar]

Yeah but can’t do it AS USA

[wicked topaz]

I guess via British tree

[wicked topaz]

There’s younger in hoi4

[summer spear]

Yup, UK have to puppet it

[fading walrus]

yeah but Carter was nobody in 1936

Simeon was the heir

[wicked topaz]

It would be funny though

Imagine

[fading walrus]

I still think Macarthur should be the canidate

[wicked topaz]

Speaking for real yeah

MacArthur king path

[fading walrus]

better than him being leader of the CSA

[summer spear]

But funny thing is that US historical branch excludes another historical branch lmao

[fresh cedar]

MacArthur would be fascist imo

[fading walrus]

true

militaristic fascism

[wicked topaz]

Who are the leaders for the German American rks

[fading walrus]

like a millitary dictatorship path

[wicked topaz]

I’ve not formed them yet

[fading walrus]

probably Pelley

or Kuhn

[fresh cedar]

Us should get, Fascist path like MacArthur, a fascist politician path, a military council path, and a monarchy path

In terms of right

US Military taking over would be neat

[wicked topaz]

I think Britain should be able to have Joyce instilled by the Nazis as an RK

[fading walrus]

somewhat agreed but I see this Military fascism, silver shirts and Bund paths

[fresh cedar]

I don’t think military council would be fascist though, more indepedent

[fading walrus]

for Communists you would have Browder (Stalinism) Lovestone (Communism with American characteristics) , and Norman Thomas (socialism I guess 🤷 )

[wicked topaz]

I love browder

Very interesting lad

[summer spear]

Add good historical focus tree first, then talk about alternative trees

[fresh cedar]

Moral of the story, US needs a facelift bad

[fading walrus]

too bad he wasn't portrayed properly in MTG

[fresh cedar]

IMO the USA is super easy to invade now

[fading walrus]

I already got that in my head

[fresh cedar]

They didn’t have a handle on trees yet

Wish Pearl Harbor was a raid tbh

[tacit sequoia]

what about a kaiserreich reference?

[fading walrus]

you could say the same about the Attack on Mers-el-Kébir

[summer spear]

I mean, it would require US to be somehow forced to keep their fleets in there

[fading walrus]

in which the UK attacked the Vichy French fleet after France surrendered in 1940

[summer spear]

Also isn't there a suprise attack option using spies?

[fading walrus]

after giving them the ultimatium to rejoin the allies

in which they refused

[fresh cedar]

Not necessarily. Just have AI dump fleets there for the pacific. And have the AI be able to raid it once no matter what

So even if it just destroys a single destroyer it still happens

I mean the defining moment that made the US enter the war isn’t represented really at all

Even with systems able to

[fading walrus]

also Japan should attack the Philipines in December 1941

not July

[fresh cedar]

Wish Phillipines had a tree

[fading walrus]

and China needs more resources

[fresh cedar]

I’ve been wanting a good pacific war for a long time. But this game really kinda just focus on the European war

[fading walrus]

the only reasons people invade China is for millitary XP

thats it

[fresh cedar]

I do bc non core manpower

[summer spear]

Average PDX game

[fading walrus]

I always forget

about that

[fresh cedar]

Chinese and Indian non core manpower goes so hard

[summer spear]

Is it worth it if you will use a lot of MP to garrison it tho?

[fading walrus]

Kodha faction did a coup in Febuary 1936

and yet its not in the game

[wicked topaz]

Japan needs serious rework Lmao

[fading walrus]

yeah

agreed

[fresh cedar]

It actually doesn’t really use that much

[wicked topaz]

Can’t wait for Japan rework after goe

It’s pretty much guaranteed tbh

[fresh cedar]

And yes, high compliance can get like +30% or more noncore

So it’s like adding 150 mil to your core

[summer spear]

Either Japan or USA, Japan being the more likely one

[fading walrus]

me surviving the joint USSR UK invasion as Persia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBP6NXx9QtU

[fresh cedar]

I can’t see there being a Pacific rework without a US rework

[summer spear]

Same

[fresh cedar]

The US really carried its weight hard in the pacific

[summer spear]

Would be awesome to see actually good US tree

[fresh cedar]

If it ain’t Expansion Pass #2 in 2025 I’ll be so sad

Gonna have to actually play the other 200 games in my Steam library

[fading walrus]

USA rework better have a team America world police reference

[summer spear]

US managed to go from losing Pacific to winning in just 6 months from pearl harbor, decimating enemy forces in 3 years

[fading walrus]

this

I wish my great grandfather was still alive

[fresh cedar]

Because their industry eclipsed Japan’s by a lot

[summer spear]

Supplying all other allies and carrying western front at the same time

[fading walrus]

so I could talk to him about his job as a landingcraft driver

in the pacific

[summer spear]

No other nation could match US industry at this point

[fading walrus]

he ended up having to fight a Tarawa

[fresh cedar]

The US basically had the equivalent of like 60 dockyards if not more

[fading walrus]

he joined immeditly after Pearl Harbor

[summer spear]

Compared to in game? Way more

[fresh cedar]

Eh it’s a shame

[fading walrus]

and was assinged to the USS South Dakota

[fresh cedar]

Tbh I find it extremely easy to take the USA now

[fading walrus]

which is my all time favorite battleship

for that one reason

[summer spear]

They were able to lay down and launch a liberty ship in just one day

[fresh cedar]

Be it a unified South America, French Empire, British empire or Germany, the USA is a pushover

[fading walrus]

French Empire is medium on the priority list (for me at least)

no Spain or Italy war goals

[fresh cedar]

French Empire is atleast still playable and fun

And they updated it a little

[fading walrus]

true

[fresh cedar]

It can war with Luxembourg now

[fading walrus]

but as Napoleonic war enthusiast its sad you can't have war goals on Spain, Portugal, Italy

and Turkey

[summer spear]

Japanese soldiers strugling with supplies seeing US having ships dedicated to supplying their soldiers with ice creams

[fading walrus]

battle of Imphal comes to mind

in which more Japanese soldiers died of starvation than combat

though they were fight the UK and RAJ

[fresh cedar]

I know

If you compare the US’s factory output to other countries it’s insane

But oh you know Germany and Austria get +25% factory output 😁

By 1945, Russia tends to have 1k factories and the USA like 500

[rocky oasis]

US paths when it gets reworked:

1. Historical Path
2. Updated Second American Civil War
3. Alternate Democracy path(?)
4. Some sort of monarchist path? IDK what this path would be.
5. Communist path
6. Maybe a military dictatorship path?

[summer spear]

But US gets +5% from industrial company

[fresh cedar]

That war potential is 1938 btw

[summer spear]

My opinion is that US shouldn't have an actual communist, fascist or monarchist/neutral alternative path but instead of that all should be put into different alternative democratic pathes

[fresh cedar]

I disagree.

[rocky oasis]

Yeah, but that would make sense and be realistic though.

[fresh cedar]

There should be slight variations with right and left leaning in the politics. But if you want extreme civil war

[rocky oasis]

This would be the ideal.

I feel

[fresh cedar]

Just do a balance of power, left is left democrat, mid is moderate, right is conservative. Each which can do its own thing. But if you abandon senate then Monarchist, military junta, Fascism, and couple communisms after a civil war

[summer spear]

I mean, there shouldn't be an option for Authoritatian goverment but more like democraticaly picked communist keeping with democratic system f.e.

Unless they finish a certain, end of tree focus that changes it

[fresh cedar]

If you decide to stick with the constitution and maintain the senate yes

Otherwise civil war and extremism

Benefit of not going extreme obviously strong economy now and no civil war

[steep garden]

USA is a country that actually makes sense to use the balance of power mechanics. Toss the jank house/senate mechanics.

[rocky oasis]

What other countries would have stuff added alongside the USA and what new mechanics could they add to the game?

[fresh cedar]

Senate is just “Sacrifice PP for 5 years till you never worry about it again”

[fresh cedar]

Philippines, Japan, Indonesia, Hawaii (wasn’t a state yet), Alaska (Wasn’t a state yet)

[summer spear]

If anything, civil war should have long lasting effects, other than a bit worse economy and focus tree path that buffs you a lot

[fresh cedar]

Agreed

[steep garden]

I foresee a pacific update that does India, Japan, and USA reworks. Then probably a second one to add trees to the minors.

[summer spear]

Japan and Philipines along with reworked navy (again) and production

[fresh cedar]

And a US rework could easily be a major industry rework. As I’ve said before I’d like to see companies get a similar treatment to like MIO’s or Special projects. Allow us to actually put company headquarters on the map and make resource investing more interesting

[summer spear]

Also maybe Canada and Australia

[fresh cedar]

Imagine putting down a corporate/factory center boosts max factories and factory building in a state

Maybe even countrywide buffs to production cost for specific things

[summer spear]

Hawaii and Alaska sounds more like a meme

[fresh cedar]

So bombing it would actually hurt the enemies war effort

[fresh cedar]

Hawaii isn’t a meme at all. Could side with Japan against the USA for independence.

Giving Japan a jumping off place

[summer spear]

Mostly useless for USA since states either have really low amount of building slots or have them maxed out

[summer spear]

Still more of a meme than actual thing

[fresh cedar]

Mostly useless to add building slots to states that never really get them? 💀

[summer spear]

US states often get to max factories

[fresh cedar]

And no industrial centers were a thing that were raided in WW2. Pretty much every country had industrial centers for key industries in the war

[steep garden]

This isn’t a bad idea. Sort of like how China has their MIOs dependent on what provinces it controls.

[fresh cedar]

And the US also needs a state rework bad

[rocky oasis]

Reworked USA, reworked Mexico, Philippines, and Cuba would be my prediction.

[fresh cedar]

Sorta, but instead that becomes an industrial center for a key industry. If working well would give a buff to like air production for instance. But if raised/bombed, would hurt that for as long as it’s damaged

This actually happened all throughout WW2, especially in the USSR, Germany and Japan

They had major industrial centers bombed which gravely hurt their war effort

[steep garden]

Yes

[fresh cedar]

Would boost raids, make industry more dynamic, and add flavor

[summer spear]

It wasn't long since Mexico got a tree and Cuba sounds like another meme

Idk what's with people wanting trees for minors like Cuba

[fresh cedar]

I’d rather Hawaii and Phillipines than Cuba

[rocky oasis]

I think the British commonwealth (minus India) will get reworked together, so the only somewhat “significant” nation connected to the US left would be Cuba.

[fresh cedar]

US state borders arguably some of the worst state designs in the game tbh

[fresh cedar]

Phillipines

[rocky oasis]

I said Philippines.

I also said Cuba

[fresh cedar]

Ah didn’t see it in that comment so thought you were saying only Cuba

You know with the new carribean formable, Cuba could be fun

[rocky oasis]

Yeah, my reasoning for Cuba is mostly due to thinking Canada will be reworked alongside the rest of the Commonwealth countries, which basically just leaves Cuba as the only relevant nation that could go alongside the US, Mexico, and Philippines.

[summer spear]

Since when Cuba is significant? The only reason i would call it significant is because of its resources, thats it

[fresh cedar]

Watch the commonwealth countries get shared trees

Yeah idk about Cuba being significant. Even if it went fascist, took the carribean somehow, it would only ever act as a jumping off place for the axis into the US

[summer spear]

Considering fact that they are reworking India outside of an actual Commonwealth DLC, i would assume that Australia, New Zealand or Canada might get reworked together with Japan, USA and Philipines since they had more impact on Pacific war

[fresh cedar]

Feel they’d go more of a Malaysia, Siam, Indonesia route than Cuba imo

Though Southeast Asia probably will be a country pack

[summer spear]

Most likely yeah

[light rain]

i found a gamebreaker bug. with belgium if you get to war with a country are you currently taking the decision to invite to the eu fraction the game will not remove the flag so are you get cocked out from the whole eu mechanic.

[fresh cedar]

EU is very messy

I went EU path as like Hungary and instead of giving me a shared EU tree it gave me the Austro Hungary one

[rocky oasis]

“Significant”

Note the quotation marks

[light rain]

Its scrapper me belgium campaign

[rocky oasis]

I put quotation marks for a reason

[thorny sable]

both of them are the same wtf

[polar jasper]

Do you want a German or a local

[rocky oasis]

It is mostly flavor

Countries with non-generic division commanders:
Finland: 1
Hungary: at least 6

[summer spear]

And that's all?

Ngl, would be nice if there would be more of them

[rocky oasis]

Agreed

Especially for the majors

[summer spear]

Yeah

[fading walrus]

when Romania gets reworked they should have the option to ally with the Kaiserreich

because both the German and Romanian royal houses are the same dynasty BTW

[summer spear]

British king, German emperor and Russian tsar were cousins, it didn't stop them from going to war in 1914

[fading walrus]

true but Germany needed Romania

for oil

[summer spear]

Yeah, but did Romania needed Germany (it did cuz soviets xD)

[fading walrus]

after 1944 no

but before then yes

Romania was a monarchy

that was in a precarius postion

[summer spear]

After 1944 goverment kinda changed in Romania, didn't it?

[fading walrus]

it became a Monarchy (again and briefly)

a Romania and little entente rework would be cool

[rocky oasis]

Note: the only reason I ended up finding this out was due to not being able to find 3 of the people included in the art and achievements dev diary either in the already available pool of generals you have or mentioned as being recruited via the focuses. Then I checked the officers tab, saw one of those 3. Then I saw another guy that looked non-generic, looked him up, and yeah. Then I went to the 1939 start date, saw 3 more. Then looked up the St. Lazlo (or whatever it is called) division, and its commander was another guy from the art and achievements dev diary.

[thorny sable]

there is ment to be a difference as far as I know

one of them should give you more industry

[fading walrus]

and TBH factions and diplomacy need an overhaul

[thorny sable]

and the other one more compliance

see

[wicked topaz]

Who needs compliance when I can take their industry 🗣

[solid gyro]

degrelle 💀

[wicked topaz]

Also hot take Mosley wouldn’t have cooperated with the nazis

Hitler may have been at his wedding but things changed

Doubt he’d be a Nazi collaborator

[tulip pilot]

what does the new dlc even add

is it worth it ?

[wicked topaz]

Maybe someone like Joyce would make sense

[tulip pilot]

anyone ?

[wicked topaz]

It’s been 3 seconds since you asked that question Jesus Christ

You’re not being ignored

I’m not answering though

[tulip pilot]

eh

[summer spear]

mainly focus trees for Germany, Hungary, Austria and Congo + special projects

[tulip pilot]

so research revamp was free then

[summer spear]

i think yeah

overall it seems nice to have

[tulip pilot]

do you think the dlc is worth it ?

[wicked topaz]

I’ll answer that one

Yes

[tulip pilot]

since the major feature like research revamp is free anyway

[wicked topaz]

If you like the countries they added focus trees for

If you don’t then don’t bother

[summer spear]

hard to tell, but i think that if you have all the other DLCs, it wouldn't hurt to get this one as well

[tulip pilot]

I am only really interested in dlc that add new mechanism to game

[summer spear]

especially if you like doing some funny stuff

[wicked topaz]

This update did. They just didn’t paywall half of it this time

This is a dlc not a country pack lmao

TOA was rubbish but that was a country pack

[tulip pilot]

guess I will skip this dlc then

or maybe grab it when is on discount

no major mechanism

[wicked topaz]

I would recommend you pick it up in like a year on sale

[tulip pilot]

free mechanism for once

[wicked topaz]

Thermonuclear bombs, more special projects

[summer spear]

funny special project is the main thing about this DLC imo

[wicked topaz]

But yeah they did give the free players the special projects

I like them but tbh they would’ve made more money paywalling them

[summer spear]

some are base game and some are locked to no step back

[tulip pilot]

they usually lock it behind paywall lol

[wicked topaz]

NSB???

Typo I think

[tulip pilot]

if the research revamp was in the dlc then probably better sales

[wicked topaz]

True

[summer spear]

they said that in change log that 2 special projects are for no step back

[wicked topaz]

I do still like the dlc though

[sudden cipher]

this DLC is one of the best, i changed my mind

[wicked topaz]

I enjoy the countries

[wicked topaz]

Didn’t know that

[sudden cipher]

so much content for germany

so much 35 day focuses

[summer spear]

it's heavy railway artillery and flame tanks

[wicked topaz]

I don’t read change logs lmao

Even more reason to get NSB

[tulip pilot]

too long lol

[wicked topaz]

Ohh that makes sense

NSB added railway guns and tank designer so yeah

[tulip pilot]

so dlc only add special project and no new mechanism?

[wicked topaz]

Railway guns are slept on

[wicked topaz]

Essentially yeah

[tulip pilot]

ok ty

[wicked topaz]

Pick it up on sale later in 2025 if you want to

I do recommend the new trees but it’s no rush

[tulip pilot]

probably will lol

but if is must have mechanism then have to buy it

I am surprised the research revamp is free

[wicked topaz]

I get that lmao

Paradox felt nice this time round

[summer spear]

i think landmarks are a DLC thing

[wicked topaz]

Wait for the whole update to be paywalled after GoE lmao

The Japan/China rework likely

[tulip pilot]

cant remeber the last time when paradox released major mechanism revamp for free

[wicked topaz]

at least that’s like 99% what they’re gonna do

[summer spear]

i hope that it will be Japan + USA rework

[tulip pilot]

owns No step back, man the gun , together for victory , waking the tiger blood alone and army against tyranny

need to get la resistance lol

[near violet]

Has anyone else found that the japanese ai doesnt garrison the mainland anymore? It might be because i am convoy raiding between them and china, but you would expect them to be garrisoning nagasaki instead of death stacking in taiwan

[fresh cedar]

I think it uses more of its army in invasions now

[copper oar]

Which austrian path is peak

[fresh cedar]

Historical

[buoyant ore]

austrian empire

unless the czechs do there stupid czech entente path like 90% of the time

[copper oar]

So non aligned

[digital mural]

With the new nuclear fallout and attrition debuffs, the generals don’t want to move there and I have to do it manually. Have you noticed it? How do I solve it?

Also is there any support company that counters the intense fallout?

[buoyant ore]

USA can’t get a rework cause man the guns is still its own dlc

[buoyant ore]

but germany got its rework and its focus tree was from waking the tiger and gotterdammerung bypasses it

[worn depot]

Waking the tiger was integrated

[buoyant ore]

then they gotta integrate man the guns

[worn depot]

Yeah that’s what I meant

[buoyant ore]

ah alr

[mossy rapids]

Why this happen?

[static granite]

I'm actually tweaking rn why did it say i got pinged 3 times in this channel

[timber cypress]

sPain is pain

even portugal joined in

[faint walrus]

that shit doesnt ever name spain after that

[woeful oasis]

I don't really like it cause there's no focus tree for the Belgian government in exile or anything in Austria regarding the TIGR organization

[fresh cedar]

If only

[dull lodge]

How do I add heavy howitzers to my divisions?

[stable tusk]

Support companies

[dull lodge]

Thank you. I obviously need to replace regular artillery.

[open vault]

same thing happened to me just reload save

[wicked topaz]

Why not have both

[solid gyro]

Artillery+ heavy artillery+ sp heavy artillery 🥰

[elder fjord]

its a shame otto von hapsburg didnt get a better pfp, he kinda looks dead with that stare lmao

maybe hollow is the better word

[thorny flame]

Found a problem with one of the spirits, This stays despite being a subject of germany

[obsidian quiver]

i get Slovakia from the Czechs and after Germany does fate of Czechoslovakia they just steal my land

[thick edge]

Idk why that happens

[mellow igloo]

When experimenting nuclear reactor? Should I go for the nuclear reactor building or Heavy water nuclear reactor building?

[thick edge]

Never tried heavy water

[mellow igloo]

Haven't tried either of them, but I would love to learn the benefits instead of playing for it myself.

[solid gyro]

I'm guessing you should do heavy water if you control Norway otherwise no

Hey guys, I got a quest about the new DLC Götterdämmerung. Do you know how to strenghen the facists in Hungary and Romania by the German Reich?

Or is that not possible anymore?

[sudden cipher]

austria's not that bad but exiled governments would be cool especially for poland

[polar jasper]

I do not believe you can anymore.

Romania should be able to do so naturally and Horthy is unaligned now.

You can coup Hungary if they are losing though I believe

[safe geode]

How do I get to jet technology with the new dlc

I’ve gotten jet engines but I can get to the next step

[burnt sail]

Same happened to me

Its bullshit man needs to be fixed asap

[obsidian quiver]

idk how they didnt test it

[upbeat crescent]

Thanks

[wary geyser]

🤣 Sanity check of British plane designs

[austere pelican]

the artillery / anti air swap pre civil war?

[solid gyro]

Could also be swapping from horse division to real divisions to rush anschluss

Anschluss in March 1936 is crazy

[austere pelican]

agreed

[safe plover]

wtf since when is it division attack +50??????

should be +5 ( its actually +50 in the battle)

[austere pelican]

Where was this when i struggled in the highlands for two hundred hours

[fresh cedar]

That’s so broken lol

[daring forge]

yeah I think that's a bug

don't remember seeing it last time I played

[safe geode]

What will graveyard of empires add, is there a page on it?

Or is it too early to know anything

[stable tusk]

Focus trees for the Raj (And India)
Afghanistan
Iran
And Iraq
And yes there is a Steam Page

[digital mural]

Is the new update save-compatible?

I don’t want to lose my 1949 Germany nuclear war game

[stable tusk]

No because of map changes and stuff, you will probably have to restart or downgrade your game back to the previous patch

[worn depot]

Wait map changes?

[stable tusk]

new states
