@obtuse ingot What do you think of the new DLC?

#

I share 3 servers with that person

chilly drum
#

Probably ignoring the game for a while because they got disappointed with it.

#

I dont want to hate on anyone but they got pretty wild ideas about game mechanics.

#

Like including Vic-esque economics in game and city management.

#

Or something like that, proposing ideas that canibalise on the rest of paradox games.

fresh cedar
#

An ultra paradox amalgamation of a game

If the Master from Fallout 1 was a Paradox game

it's basically pointless to do the influence in the benelux path

you cant even invite fascist belgium because they still have the perpetual neutrality modifier

holy crap it's patch day!!!

mental onyx
#

I expect it to release later tbh

echo shard
#

Its patch day its only 1:30am lol

mental onyx
#

It's a surprise to be sure but a welcome one

echo shard
#

Yeah im exited for fixes

#

Hopefully they make the ai better

pallid hollow

😂

solid gyro
echo shard
#

The ai is literally dumb

solid gyro
#

where?

#

i saw a good improvement since gdr released

#

especially the damn british ai

echo shard
#

So called good improvement

#

Literally ai is dumb they left some tiles open

solid gyro
#

i mean the ai is still relatively stupid but

#

gdr made it less stupid

echo shard
#

Ig it did, well they should improve allied ai when it comes to normandy landings

mental onyx
#

Question, is it worth it to get alaska from the US early as the USSR? They will always reject the demand if they are now part of the allies so demanding late is a no go.

echo shard
#

Depends on which stage of the game

#

Usually you’re done with germany by 1942-45

#

Its not worth it as the allies are a pain in the ass to fight late game

mental onyx
#

Most likely not worth it but it's fun to build missile silos there to intimidate them for rp reasons

echo shard
#

Lol, what you could probably do is like spawn 10 bb, 250dd and like maybe 6 Carriers and just spam subs

#

Might take up alot of resources

#

But you should be able to take on the us fleet

#

In the pacific

mental onyx
#

Because of the new sub techs, I think is now possible to beat the allied navy with mostly subs lol

#

The USSR got some buffs for submarines

echo shard
#

It is as i tried that with germany

echo shard
#

I never care about navy when it comes to the ussr

#

I gotta try out navy as the sovs

mental onyx
echo shard
#

Oh

#

Oh im assuming you played the sovs alot

#

How do i like

mental onyx
#

The USSR did focus mostly on submarines in their naval build up canonically

echo shard
#

Prevent turkey from declaring war on me after ww2

mental onyx
#

They usually declare war on romania

#

at that point romania is your puppet

echo shard
#

It happened to me awhile back like 1 week ago

#

But the most recent sov game i quit as i got bored

mental onyx
#

For me, the only reason I go late game as the USSR is to decimate the allied navy lol
So much dopamine from sinking their giant fleets

They buffed it

low plover

Fixed CTD caused by incorrect update sequence

echo shard

Then nerfed it

low plover
#

what they mean?

mental onyx
#

They nerfed the visibility reduction on techs

#

and reduced torpedo hit chances

echo shard
#

Oh

#

Cant be that bad of a nerf

#

(I dont play navy)

mental onyx
#

I was having fun playing naval germany. It's the first I managed to destroy most of their convoys using subs.

#

Im slowly learning navy via USA

#

Like i understand patrolling

low plover
#

what do they mean by "Fixed CTD caused by incorrect update sequence"?

mental onyx
#

I'm tired of double checking but did they fix "our place in the sun" achievement not firing?

wheat sundial
#

Hi everyone. I started playing hoi4 around a month ago, my main nation now is italy, but i don't understand one thing. When Im attacking ethiopia should i move the majority of my african troups back to italy, so the rest has enough supply to fight, or leave all the african troops in africa and leave them fighting with the lack os supplies?

echo shard
#

And just attack

#

You dint have to do any micromanaging

mental onyx
#

Another advice is to motorize your supply there so you won't run out of supply while invading deeper into ethiopia.

fresh cedar
#

Nerfing concealment expert is so lame. I rarely take concealment expert as is but legit never will now.

hearty blade
#

the thing is

#

if you beat ethopia too late

#

theyre gonna cap

#

but they'll always be there

#

which is bad

#

u dont want them to be there so bring over all of the army and all of the planes

#

just bomb them and shoot them until they stop moving

summer spear
hearty blade
#

once u beat them go down king of ethiopia i think it was called and make east africa their own country

#

and let the kings son stupid guy deal with it

Any tips on getting the congolese belgium one? I want to utilize the shared focus tree before going independent and having a hard time timing it. Which focuses are worth getting? The extra research slot and steel is a must for me.

safe plover
#

Late 38 is fine

mental onyx
#

I notice you can't completely remove them when going communist at least unless you take some focuses relating to having your starting country leader in power.

safe plover

You have to do a 70 day focus one before getting the 35 day focus.

Wait, I never thought about this, Pearl Harbor is just ignored xD

im sure they're gona update this when the usa gets a rework 🤞

safe plover

they still do the focuses lmao

#

even though führerkreis doesnt exist anymore

#

u also still get the buffs lul

#

uhm adenauer what are u doing

tacit sequoia
#

possibly australia and new zealand rework + dutch east indies malaysia phillippines trees, then USA Japanese Major Rework.

#

or the south east asia can be different dlc, though i'm waiting for europe to be finished (czechoslovakia, romania, yugoslavia, and albania.)

harsh hull
#

Pearl Harbor was in the game before Man the Guns, but it was removed

#

Presumably too circumstantial for players to actually be keeping their fleet docked in Hawaii instead of California

I think you can refund on steam if you play less than 1 hour or something

hollow coral

But they are pretty lenient

solid gyro
#

Yeah but if you play more than 1 or 2 hours in that 14 days you won't get a refund

tacit sequoia
tacit sequoia

i think it should be expansion pass after the new major dlc comes out.

#

possbily a yugoslavia-albania joint focus tree, no clue tho since they're seperate

tacit sequoia
#

having a feeling that Man the Guns is getting merged into the game next, along with naval stuff so there's going to be a 2nd naval DLC that'll expand the naval game very much, along with USA - Japan rework due to pearl harbor not having anything.

no clue, just a concept

maybe USA Japan Siam Indochina (cuz it was independent), and Phillippines

since they're doing graveyard of empires, they may do those 5 after that cuz it makes sense to rework india and middle east (it aint the full middle east but yk), then work on parts of south east asia + Japan and USA

maybe canada for the funny

You should start with a smaller mod to gain some experience, and perhaps more important, get an idea of how time consuming things are

Atleast to make the map and decisions and events first

Then I'll start of with the focuses and whatnot

probably focuses ngl

If you don't take Goulash Communist right from the start, you're going to be stuck at like 20% stability and get 0 pp.

Like 1942.

flat walrus
night oxide
#

Nah 1940.

#

But deleted that garbage save file.

#

If you don't take Goulash Communist like I didn't, you have no stability which means no pp.

#

Especailly because Intervention reduces your pp.

#

It's a shame because the run was fun, Russia went fascist so I didn't feel like a loser taking the "muh denounce Marxism-Leninism" garbage every single communist tree has for some reason.

#

That's every communist tree.

"Go communist."
"Get some civs."
"Join Soviet Union or get wargoal on them."

The V-3 Super Cannon was one of Hitler’s most ambitious and unusual weapon projects during World War II. Designed to bombard London from Pas-de-Calais in France, the V-3 was a massive, multi-chambered cannon. Using sequentially ignited charges placed along the barrel, it could theoretically fire a 140-kilogram shell at a range of 165 kilometers ...

like did the developer actually played it

the only place that has 35 days are forts branch

Imagine just to form a new government you need to waste 385 days

oh sorry I forgot the other one
440 days

and that's like entering the new government branch

like I didnt count any economy or millitary tree

If we also add them

lets see

595 days

If you like want to get a functional economy

595 + 440 = 1135 days

in years its equal into

something between 3 years and 4 years

wow we are already at the brink of german invasion

and we didnt do any fort and military focus alone or new government focus

I dont really like to compare but to compare it with germany its (without mils) conquest part 350 days

for rebuilding the german economy, its 245

Just wish it was able to get cores on more stuff. Maybe like Quebec and Louisiana

Do you ever get to the point in the game that you're just building and producing stuff for the heck of it when playing as a major?

yes about how short german economy tree is

fresh cedar
#

The French economy sucks. You’re forced to decolonize or get permanent strikes

outer whale
#

and how long belguim economy tree is

fresh cedar
#

Oh I like the German economic trees tbh

#

The reform tree is long

outer whale
#

belguim

#

595 days
If you like want to get a functional economy as belguim

#

and the focus tree still doesnt end

#

germany its (without mils) conquest part 350 days
for rebuilding the german economy, its 455 again with no mils

fresh cedar
#

Doesn’t need to be as long as belgiums imo. Belgium relies on its colony to succeed, Germany only needs itself

#

Germanys economy is effectively what it can conquer

outer whale
#

no I mean

fresh cedar
#

And it’s diplomatic tree is amazing

outer whale
#

belguim economy is like

#

too long

#

It could be better If it was 455 days

fresh cedar
#

Eh, gives them something to do

outer whale
#

440 days is to form a new government

#

as belguim

#

595 + 440 = 1135 days

#

I think thats really long

fresh cedar
#

I don’t mind how they differ. Germanys economy is about conquering enough in time whereas Belgium is growing its economy slowly by itself and its colony

fresh cedar
outer whale
outer whale
#

rebuilding the german economy takes 455 days

#

which is ok

#

but belgian

#

595 days

fresh cedar
outer whale
#

and you still dont finish the economy tree

#

it just gives you a

#

functional economy a bit

outer whale
#

don't you think that's absurd

fresh cedar
#

I don’t mind honestly, when I played Belgium I never found it hurting me

outer whale
#

I mean the content is really dry to me

#

a walloon being the leader of the rexist party

#

dunno

fresh cedar
#

Belgium is fun. Could it have been better? Maybe. But I so far like it more than the Congo or Hungary

outer whale
#

I think Hungary is better in terms of political tree

#

it gets you where you want to go in a good time

#

not short or not fast

fresh cedar
#

I just prefer Austria. Hungary is okay and can be fun just isn’t for me

#

I’d rather play many other countries near it

#

Personally I think the Congo kinda sucks. Reminds me of Ethiopia a little

#

The whole African Union stuff needs a rework

outer whale
fresh cedar
#

Trial of Allegiance is fun in terms of uniting South America. Ethiopia and Congo aren’t

#

It plays like Switzerland

outer whale
#

Man If we had to proxy wars
It'd be ok

#

but nah

fresh cedar
#

Agreed

outer whale
#

you want french kamerun?

#

u gotta march in paris

fresh cedar
#

IMO Trial of allegiance was fun bc of its normal paths not its meme ones

#

All the Brazil ones were solid, and most of the Argentinian ones

outer whale
#

u want that random spanish land?

#

u gotta march in barcenelo

fresh cedar
#

?

outer whale
#

like

fresh cedar
#

That’s basically just Chile though

outer whale
#

eh I meant the spanish land in africa

#

that was at congo

fresh cedar
#

As if Poland bringing back Anastasia Romanov and getting replaced by a bear isn’t absurd

fresh cedar
#

Africa needs better formables imo

outer whale
#

Honestly paradox needs a bit diplomacy rework

fresh cedar
#

Legit only fun Congo tree is Mittelafrika

fresh cedar
outer whale
#

I am just thinking If they are gonna make the middle east pack as

#

"You want the syria as iraq with no allies?"

#

"You gotta march in paris."

fresh cedar
#

IMO the only fun African country is South Africa and specialist communist anti colonial crusade where you can puppet all of Africa

outer whale
#

yes

fresh cedar
#

I know what you’re saying now

#

That you have to conquer entire countries to take a land far from them

outer whale
#

yes

fresh cedar
#

TOA actually tried avoiding that

#

Brazil can wage small wars and end once land is taken

outer whale
#

I wonder If thats going to be the case for east asia dlc

#

like

#

you took australia

#

india

#

china

#

indonesia

#

as japan

#

we should just peace with allies

#

saying

#

"I will give you the australia and some parts of india back, but rest is mine"

fresh cedar
#

In general the next major DLC needs a diplomacy rework

outer whale
#

yes

fresh cedar
#

Pacific would be the perfect area to do that

#

Since US and Japan had ties up until Pearl Harbor, but also how Japan ultimately surrendered

outer whale
#

guarantee too

#

like

fresh cedar
#

Conditional surrenders need work

outer whale
#

and also

outer whale
fresh cedar
outer whale
#

tommykay had something like that

fresh cedar
#

Bet Graveyard of Empires will have it

#

Iraq shouldn’t need to take London and Paris to take Kuwait

outer whale
#

yes

#

hear this paradox

#

I think joining factions should also be limited

#

like I saw it in tommykay russia video

#

Japan and paraguay was ally

#

he capped japan

#

and then he had too take paraguay

outer whale
#

it should be limited

#

and adding a seperate thing for economic unions

#

like kaiserreich has

fresh cedar
#

Factions should be limited to continent/sphere of influence unless part of a focus

#

TOA and GDR really just made anyone join anyone

#

Can’t fight any country without it being a global war now

steel elbow
#

Can I turn Monarchist as belgium without capitulating? if so, how?

hollow coral
hollow coral
fresh cedar
#

I think it’s apparent though that factions and diplomacy needs a serious rework

hollow coral
#

especially the conditional surrendering

#

they should also rework border conflicts

#

i saw someone once say they should rework borer conflicts where you dont just attack the state but actually you go in by getting each province

fresh cedar
#

I legit never do border conflicts. Find them infuriating and a waste of time

#

And in my 6k hours never have used conditional surrender

hollow coral
fresh cedar
#

A functional border conflict system would be awesome for minor powers imo

#

Or using conditional surrender to just get resource rights

hollow coral
fresh cedar
#

Like Panama taking the canal, South American countries taking the guyanas, carribean or falklands . Africa in particular would really benefit

#

I imagine the next Major DLC Q4 2025 would be a Pacific rework. And couldn’t imagine a better time to rework diplomacy

hollow coral
fresh cedar
#

Even if it was just a Sphere of Influence rework that effected claims

#

Factions, post war borders and never ending wars are such a mess

hollow coral
fresh cedar
#

Feels like Warhammer 40k not real war

solid gyro
#

australia and nz are limited

outer whale
#

If you are gonna play in MP

#

with your friends

#

If your germany friend will also go monarchist, tell him to justify on you before he goes to civil war

#

after that delete your army

#

when justification is done

#

he should declare war on you

#

and capping you

#

after that he should take nothing

#

from you at the peace conferance

#

so at late 1936, you can play as monarchist belguim

fresh cedar
mental onyx
#

They can't have china and japan have a rework on seperate DLC. That feels criminal

#

Maybe the netherlands can have a bit of rework if the DEI will have the common colonial tree like the congo

fresh cedar
#

Feel like it would be Southeast Asia and Japan tbh

#

Saw this was added in GDR as a part of Nigeria

#

Wonder what it would’ve been and if it’s cut content

hollow coral
#

That includes japans puppets and maybe mongolia and tannu tuva

#

If you rlly think about it thats pretty much like 4 countries plus some extra since the warlords dont have much information to make an indepth focus tree to begin with

mental onyx
#

China, PRC, and maybe manchuria will have the major focus trees in China while the warlords have small ones, why not just include it with japan?

#

They can take their time with the dlc

hollow coral
mental onyx
#

I can imagine a little entente dlc with a france rework and a commonwealth dlc with a UK rework

If I have to buy a China/japan dlc imma start tweaking

Better get it for free

#

I was winning my previous games as Germany trying to get full air superiority in the UK, but now I am no longer. What am I doing wrong?

#

I believe my problem was that I somehow managed to assign the wrong production company to my plane designs......

#

Because it said average speed was bad, and I checked the production company, and it was not assigned to the one that gives more speed..

haughty aspen
#

What is a way to avoid that then.

#

Wouldn't speed conteract that?

thick edge
#

I assume ur Germany against UK

haughty aspen

Large bombers

Make them aim for AA

#

Ok then

thick edge
#

getting control of south England is hard no matter the nation

haughty aspen
#

What would you recommend for a good large bomber design?

thick edge
#

Lemme find one

haughty aspen
#

Thank you

thick edge
#

Do u wanna do long range? Or short range

haughty aspen
#

Hm, long range probably

thick edge
#

I think 4 bomb modules
6/4x engine III 2 turret ,defence , extra fuel tanks and armour plates

#

That should work

#

U can use self sealing if u have extra rubber

#

(Use 1940 bomber and engineer for this)

haughty aspen
#

Yup

thick edge
#

Research survivable studies and range improvements

#

That should work

haughty aspen
#

Much appreciated

#

I've been trying to successfully invade and capitulate the UK in this new DLC.

thick edge
#

If u do naval invasion do the area near hull

#

The south has like 7 divs per tile

haughty aspen
#

Hull as in the Eastern side?

thick edge
#

This part

haughty aspen
#

Yup that area

#

I've been doing the area in Dover mainly

thick edge
#

Dover is a suicide charge

haughty aspen
#

I have sometimes made a landing, but I would eventually get pushed out.

thick edge
#

Yup

haughty aspen
#

I used to do how you are telling me now, so I will go for it again.

#

Would you suggest I use paradroppers?

thick edge
#

U could try to suicide charge paratroopers away from the naval invasion to distract

#

Use marines to invade hull

haughty aspen
#

I thought that

thick edge
#

Maybe amphib tanks

haughty aspen
thick edge
#

Make sure to have convoy escort on

haughty aspen
#

Do you have a recommended template for infantry and marines?

thick edge
#

Brb

haughty aspen
#

I use 18 width for infantry

#

9 in combat, and support artillary, anti air, and engineering for the support company.

thick edge
#

18w marines might work

#

Give them supp arty and engineer

#

U could add 1-2 arty battalions

#

Try to stay around 20w

haughty aspen
#

battalions as in the combat or support slot?

thick edge
#

Combat

haughty aspen
#

Oh ok

#

Thank you again for the help. I will see what happens.

U live in Germany

There are some laws

twin nexus

yea thats true

is it just because of that?

pseudo wing

there was some confusion regarding what was and wasn't allowed by the law, so they shadowed the nazi portraits in the german version of the game to comply with the law, I believe arheo commented on it let me find it

May have an idea for next major dlc

#

Not the country pack in Middle East + India

#

Day that will never be forgotten:

Reworked Nations: USA, Japan,
New Trees: Siam, Philippines, Malaysia, Dutch East Indies
Mechanics: Motorized Rework, Supply Research Category (with motorized focuses), Ideology Rework.

thick edge
#

U said the same thing people have said for months

tacit sequoia
#

Though it has stuff to go with it in that sense, plus Japan is outdated + integrated into the game, and America needs a whole rework from scratch to give it more stuff to do, plus more leaders besides FDR, Truman, Douglass MacArthur, etc.

thick edge
#

We all know

fresh cedar
fresh cedar

thick edge
#

Hear me out

#

This is a bad idea

#

But types of mechanized

#

Mech SPAA

#

like the uh motorized companies

#

With AT AA and Arty

#

Or is that light tanks💀

tacit sequoia
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Only reason I thought motorized/mechanized rework is due to manufacturing of cars in USA

fresh cedar
#

Types of mechanized kinda already exists though

#

Can turn tanks into them sort of by adding tracks

#

And IFV’s are a thing

fresh cedar
# tacit sequoia Yeah I forgot about the naval part 💀

Feel like it would be naval and diplomacy. If they wanted to get really creative, maybe corporations, with the ability to place them on the map so major companies actually can be targeted. So while up buffs specific production lines, if down hurts it

#

Bc strategic bombing and corporations were super important between US and Japan

thick edge
#

Hear me out

#

Refineries

#

But

#

Other resources

#

Most mods do it

Well yeah, as long as none of the stuff is from the DLC
I saw the same thing and all the focuses are custom made by members of the community so it should be fine

#

alr

fresh cedar
#

Granted they could’ve added IFV’s but would it be worth?

#

Think air to air missiles and a new level of infantry equipment would be a nice addition to special projects

Kinda surprised the night vision wasn’t made to be special project
