You need certain amount of breakthroughs to research the special projects, for example, some special projects need just one breakthrough, but others could need 2
thx and what do special projets do like from my understanding there equipement like subs and nukes right?
Yes
Hey, is götterdämmerung included in the dlc subscription thing?
it should be, yes
And radar. If you want radar tech, you need to do aviation special projects.
Wish Germany didn’t go Fascist half the time when you go ahistorical
I mean it’s a 50/50 what you expect
XD
Hate that it’s so likely
Ahistorical is so random
I never liked it 😭 makes my head hurt
Because wdym paraguay just joined the japanese and japan went communist so 😆
It's been months since I was last here
@obtuse ingot What do you think of the new DLC?
I haven't seen that name in awhile
Same
I share 3 servers with that person
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.
An ultra paradox amalgamation of a game
If the Master from Fallout 1 was a Paradox game
I like what I’ve seen of it so far
I’ve been watching RedHawk Byzantium in America EU4 and wondering how to mesh that into HoI4
The special projects are super cool, and the landmarks
Think they could really add a lot there
I’m not super familiar with Byzantium in America. Though an American monarchy would be a cool addition
It’s called Third Odyssey
In this video titled I Did A NEW WORLD EXODUS As BYZANTIUM In EU4 I play as Byzantium in the Third Odyssey Mod for EU4. In this video or series I attempt to do an exodus to the new world as Byzantium or The Roman Empire, grow and establish myself there and become powerful, before coming back to Europe to exact revenge and take back what is right...
Is it like a focus on Greece?
Not a Byzantine Exodus to the Americas 😭
new england?
they got a new update
why is this 1934 medium after 1936
it has the 1938 debuffs (as in the tech penalty)
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
Doesnt the netherlands also have pacifism which means they cant join either
so its only the all mighty luxembourg
its a bug
iirc there used to be a 1934 chassis?
no the basic med chassis
used to be a 34 tech
they nerfed it to be a 38 tech
Thank god it stopped
what mod should i try
thousand week reich or the fire rises
@wicked topaz stop threatening DEMOCRACY
So cursed without sprites
but ur america
yes
its no issue
indeed
Did they release gotterdamnrung yet
ur a few weeks late for this question
they alr released it ages ago
man lives in a cave and emerges every few months to stock up on food
What about this "Death or Dishonor" thing?
Did that ever release, or did that end up being a rumour?
It was the 2nd major DLC released and it got integrated to base game
Wait what happened to that together for victory dlc? I never saw it get released
Wait, the game released? I've been playing Hoi3 all this time
same thing, integrated into the base game
it was one of the first dlcs
I swear if today is not the patch day im going to go outside and find the leftover grass
Thanks bill nye
np son
Hoi4 player discovers grass???
Whats grass
I think they're trying to squeeze in more bug fixes. They won't release it today if they are still major bugs that haven't been fixed.
Will hoi4 be on the winter sale ?
So tempted to ping Chak
Maybe they will shed some light on the patch status
...
at.Chak
This will do

We're still trying to iron some things out, will let yall know when I can
Grass looks at you funny
Their entire purpose is too kill us
We named them blades for a reason
You literally surrounded by it.
...you are enicrcled.

If they didn’t add a new formable for French Empire similar to the Spanish Empire focus where it can core all former French colonies I’ll riot
The music tone change from TOA to GDR is like completely opposite
I have listened to 0 seconds of music on Spotify
I use YouTube Music lol
Has the patch come out yet?
L
i got a good question here.
why doesn't germany get czechoslovakian units when they get annexed?
The anchluss was pretty popular even with the army so it makes sense for the army to join but the czechs didnt want to join germany so ig thats why
Germany dissolved the Czech military
Because Czechs were very much against the annexation
makes sense
Also because the germans considered the austrians as germans. They didn't think of the chechs as german, so they probably wouldn't have accepted any of them serving in the wehrmacht even if they would have offered and if the germans had trusted said offer.
Maybe the Sudetenland Germans should get a few divisions popping up since it’s kinda weird tbh that you don’t get any divisions from Czechoslovakia or Yugoslavia at all
I mean at that point extra divisions don't really matter and I don't think that there were fully ethnically German divisions
@mental onyx WAKE UP
holy crap it's patch day!!!
It's 5:36 pm here lol
I expect it to release later tbh
Its patch day its only 1:30am lol
It's a surprise to be sure but a welcome one
😂
bro wants max level stockfish running the ai 😭 🙏
We need better ai
The ai is literally dumb
Ig it did, well they should improve allied ai when it comes to normandy landings
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.
Not worth it
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
Most likely not worth it but it's fun to build missile silos there to intimidate them for rp reasons
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
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
They did?
I never care about navy when it comes to the ussr
I gotta try out navy as the sovs
It's mostly the production costs last I checked.
The USSR did focus mostly on submarines in their naval build up canonically
Prevent turkey from declaring war on me after ww2
I thought they fixed that?
They usually declare war on romania
at that point romania is your puppet
It happened to me awhile back like 1 week ago
But the most recent sov game i quit as i got bored
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
"Added game option to use silhouette portraits for German leadership and focuses."
Mfw devs added somwthing that was ALREADY in game
What did the german leadership do
nah thats for like certain countries where AH is banned etc
iirc atleast
ya i believe so
Interesting
Which all you needed to do was to disable "Historcial Germany potraits" DLC from launcher, prompting game to use silouette
Only if you're using that material on historcial-context IIRC
And HOI 4 can go ahistorcial so...
oh ya idk
Can you get achievements in ahistorical
Yeh
Oh you can
Idk about ahistorical tho
I dont believe that im capable of like doing good
You just need ironman mode on and not have any mods that rework the game
Yeah i uses mods that are ironman capable
A his is fun if your not going for achievements
I just noticed they nerfed submarines 😫
Fixed CTD caused by incorrect update sequence
Then nerfed it
what they mean?
I was having fun playing naval germany. It's the first I managed to destroy most of their convoys using subs.
Good
what do they mean by "Fixed CTD caused by incorrect update sequence"?
I'm tired of double checking but did they fix "our place in the sun" achievement not firing?
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?
Move all of your entire army to ethopian
And just attack
You dint have to do any micromanaging
Another advice is to motorize your supply there so you won't run out of supply while invading deeper into ethiopia.
Nerfing concealment expert is so lame. I rarely take concealment expert as is but legit never will now.
i move entire army to ethiopia
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
Visibility is like one of the most important stats on ships
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
Right, but there’s no point in choosing that anymore over the other
Depends on your navy comp
Also visibility reduces enemy hit chance
I only ever used it as a minor with subs, would rather go for the dmg now
Okay, thanks
Subs have plenty of visibility reduction so you should go Silent hunter first, but it still wouldn't hurt to go concealment expert
I just use silent hunter 9/10 times
But most of the time you will be able to get few traits so can go both
amazing
ik
#NoBorderGoreShaming
AI:
You should see Tannu Tuva, Ethiopia, and New Zealand
Hi , can someone explain me how get the mode magna europa reloaded in the new version of the game
Yugo next
nothing like having to turn ironman on and then fighting over the ai for a pieve of land you have claimed to make your formable
no
At least you can fight it now, I remember when you'd literally have to kill the game from task manager to get another chance at the peace deal
also claims now do something, your allies tend to spend their vp on giving you your claimed states
croat
?
this is why i dont do ironman mode, just because player led peaceconfrences isnt compaditable
Wonder how much in advance dev diaries are written
What possible additions do you guys see to special projects, especially land projects?
Is it expected that I cannot open my save file which was created on version 1.51.1 on the latest (1.15.2) version?
Super Heavy Trains. Has more AA and Armor
And maybe designable convoy ships. For speed, armor etc
Would be nice if Coastal batteries were a thing that damaged/negated naval invasion ships
Do yall reckon they're gonna release another patch before the holidays?
Depends if there is more bugs
For the love of Yoba, paradox please fix the bugged achievement “shaken not stirred”
AMA
Do you know what is shower?
What's that?
😼
How did bro get shaken not stirred
Is that coup with seducer trait?
Impossible
Game broke
yep
I got that achievement by reverting back my game to the nsb beta patch so you can do that to get it.
when u play as belgium in new update go the fascist path in non historical and u try to declare war on france
Ah yes no bugs
What is a Game without Bugs lol
go outside i beg of you
had it for a while XD
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.
Rubber is basically free factories and get the tungsten as well, also do the open the mines focus before becoming independent
Late 38 is fine
How about taking the focuses reducing vast uncontrollable nation modifier? Are they worth it?
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.
Do the ones that also give u building slots or are 35 days
there are 2 70 day focuses and 1 35 day focus that reduce it. One gives an industrial concern that buffs aerial stuff with some supply bonuses and the 70 day and 35 day focus just unlocks some advisors that you will lose when going independent.
You have to do a 70 day focus one before getting the 35 day focus.
fair
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 🤞
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
USA + Japan Rework.
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.)
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 doubt they will do two majors in a dlc now
Why not see yourself
Wtf the tree should disappear when you switch an ideology
Get the battle pass or whatever it's called, it's worth the money
I think you can refund on steam if you play less than 1 hour or something
14 days
But they are pretty lenient
Yeah but if you play more than 1 or 2 hours in that 14 days you won't get a refund
🤷♂️
czechoslovakia, romania, and yugoslavia need a rework 😭🙏
Immediately
true
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
That would be very nice
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.
Oh it is?
no clue, just a concept
The navy is already hard don't make it even harder Paradox
there's already a mod that does it...
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1687056790&searchtext=Naval+Rework+Mod
Yeah make an expansion pass with an USA - Japan - idk Australia DLC + Yugoslavia Romania Czechoslovakia country pack
Aw hell nah what's that 😭
i feel like the Japanese-USA would be that, then Australia, New Zealand, Dutch East Indies, Malasyia, and Phillippines
Yeah whole Oceania DLC
wait that makes it weirder..
hmm
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
Canada will most likely will be as a part of another Commonwealth rework if there will be any
True
A new naval rework could make navy harder but also better and easier to understand
Also improve ship designer
They should make it much easier to understand and maybe a bit harder
Also rework the freaking subs
And give some more in game info about some stuff
(looking at you, London Naval Treaty)
besides strat bombers, what can do nuclear strikes? Is it only the nuclear icbm?
To my knowledge yes
Tho I think it's funny you can drop a thermonuclear bomb with an interwar bomber
Medium range missile also works ofc
oh okay very nice
playing historical mp game as brazil and wanna rush nukes and MRBM
well gonna play
The last transport plane also has the nuke symbol but i dont think u can use it to nuke lul
heard brazil has some nuclear focuses which should help but dunno since no dlc
Doesn't Brazil have the generic focus tree without dlc?
@hazy orchid Venti Matcha with 2 pump classic syrup, please.
yeah default tree so i cant test my plan until mp game
U know what i say to all aspiring actors?
uh no
Dude i rlly thought ur profile description was a steven he reference
1.15 buffs the Japan Chinese war so much
But what rlly changed, the -2 org rlly doesnt chane anything
When dev diary
Prob after the winter holidays end in Sweden
yes
I raised it by about 3000
I only use it for tag and allowdiplo
I use it for “setowner” when the AI does some insane border gore or glitches and randomly gives land to others
I made a toolpack for that
Mean
I had the philosophy until gamebreaking bugs made it so I had to fight everyone to get anything
It’s just unrealistic
send him to siberia
anyways
we must make colored puppets ironman compaditable
I wanna create a very realistic ww2 with many outcomes and scenarios, with absolutey no experience. Do yall think it's possible?
Possible yes
Very time consuming though
Do u wanna hear my plans tho haha
Self promotion!!! Ban this user!!1111
Sure
So I wanna make the mod with realistic(or not) scenarios like what if the west got to berlin first or what if Eisenhower and Himmler came to an agreement or an Allied-German alliance and some stuff during the war as well like Himmler in burgundy, an SS coup like they try to control the reich before it falls apart before the end of ww2
And mega events too
Like to Total war speech
Ok that's actually very possible
Only problems you might have with that is the whole events thing and making sure the ai doesn't do stupid stuff (probably hardest part)
But sounds interesting so far
If it ever comes to fruition you'll be the first person to test it out
Sure
If you want to get started I'd recommend asking in #modding or joining the hoi4 modding server + the many modding tutorials
I'll try and get started as soon as possible
Start small first don't go big
Depending on your skill level
Start with a specific nation/event/whatever see what you can do first and if you like it go from there
Ill try doing the Himmler-Eisenhower thingy first
No
Id like that
You should start with a smaller mod to gain some experience, and perhaps more important, get an idea of how time consuming things are
Yea that's my idea
Atleast to make the map and decisions and events first
Then I'll start of with the focuses and whatnot
Its probably better to do it the other way around
What do u think i should do first
probably focuses ngl
map you can always adjust when focuses need it
events/decisions are linked to focuses
Yea that's true
Also with the leaders
Cause i plan to have focuses that depose of some leaders
i suck okay :c
we wanna have fun
Has anyone who has turned off historical focuses ever seen Greece go down the monarchist paths?
Yeh
Once
And the civil war turned into a proxy war
That's one more time than I've ever seen.
Yeah but they lost the civil war and got replaced by generic focus tree 100% democracy greece
I just had the most miserable game.
Hungarian Soviet Republic is so tough because you get basically no pp.
So everything takes so long.
That was hours and I decided I was bored, threw in behind Ernst's Germany, and got rekt.
What year was it
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.
Dang
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."
Option: Middle East Mutual Defense Alliance
Would be cool to see as an option. Kinda like a NATO, but Middle East
If one of them gets attacked, the rest come to the aid
That's already how factions work in the game
That’s a guarantee
Doesn't turkey have that one path that does that
Going at it from different starts would be cool. Kinda like you can have multiple options to form HRE or something
Chak, will there be one last patch before the end of the year?
There’s 2 ways to form HRE currently I believe. Kaiserin Germany or Lichtenstein Austria
Feel like they’ll definitely do a Gulf Council/Middle East faction
No one really talks about it but Saudi Arabia, Oman and Yemen have all gotten little updates to their names and political tags
is this rizz
Personally a economic type alliance would be good
Many possible paths including this, and it could also be a military alliance
I feel bad for Russia, it’s gonna have such a hard time defending itself now as everyone will want to invade it
bro hitting up with dat hoi4 rizz 💀😭
Get more PP then, ya dingus
what hungary are you playing ma boi💀
The communist one where you restore the Hungarian Soviet Republic.
Judging by steam activities, probably
They are messing with their depots
nice
When you complete a special project, does it play any sounds? The specific sound is in the files but I haven't heard it in-game.
Is this a bug or am I the only one experiencing this issue?
ui_special_project_finished
I don't know if it has been reported yet but I'll report it to the bug forums
classic paradox
there might be, but don't quote me on it
I quote you on that, public branch got updated
There is a patch, just news lagging behind for some reason
..aw.
This patch is sad, kinda
Some boomer got angry and now we are back to shadow moustache man
not me. im german, but back then, bought a non german key
im more sad about, that paradox still has not fixed some annoying bugs yet
like the missile menu bugging out or a hardcrash, when AI uses submarine launched missiles
I can edit it out in the future, though for now I need to leave it as they did win
Feel like names like that should be automatically disqualified
Seems like a potential company liability to award problematic usernames. That’s just from an HR perspective.
🪦
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 ...
Is this a hoi4 reference?
That multi charge gun!
hi
I just wanted to play a nice game of HOI. But I cannot find a way to turn on the beautful artwork i payed for
😄
What art pack did you pay for
the new Götterdämmerung
Are you on the newest version
I play as Luxemburg and want to beat Germany but I cannot see someone
yes i sadly had auto update
Hmmm do you have any mods on?
no vanilla. but germany is not there anymore
Wdym by that?
Like just germany on map is gone?
mal?
yes it got censored i think. Is there a button to turn it on? the whole game doesnt make sense without the evil germany in it
Can you take a screenshot because i am still not sure what it looks like
also in the focus tree there is more art missing
yes so this game will never exist
billions will touch grass and meet women
😄
If the painter would have heard this he would be so mad
What if he won the war?
Would it have been nuch better now?
its not that deep dawg
if we talk about a TWR like victory, it would be bad for a bit
if a TNO like victory however...
It think it would have been
The naval game play ramifications of sinking Germany into the sea would be huge
Switzerland as a naval power from the start of the game? Unheard of
Looks fire
why did they do that i thought they dont need to censor the nzis anymore
what da hell
is not like that for meeeeeeeeee
Different UI sizes change how posts look lol
Arheo commented on it, let me grab the quote;
This is on mobile
Work
i thought germany changed that i could have sworen i read smth like that
Game nights with the boys abt to be crazy
Real
you oughta activate the @
i dont need the role ping, I am the one who uses it lmao
fair
I should be allowed to @ everyone
Pleaseee?
Mr Bridle are you anywhere?
Imagine remaking the HOI4 boardgame in tabletop simulator
lol
This may be the worst decision ever
How many of us Hoi players have touched grass
We may never have enough people to play the game
How much would it cost?
We don’t know yet
Sad
is it possible to upgrade the capital city buildings? (I'm playing as germany and it says its level 1)
Through focuses
And the only one that upgrades is the Reichstag to Volkshalle
Does the board lag after 1941?
Yea
ok so
belguim might be the country that is the
Turkey of this dlc
Focus tree is big
and most of them are 70 days focuses
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
or wait lets see it fully
455 ( excluding military factory focuses of it)
man
why paradox
Belgian economy Tree is weak asf
I think in the first few focuses the Netherlands reverses much of its debuffs and gets 2 mils
I just do political and army lol
And just fix the debuffs on industry
And unnecessary long
I wonder if devs actually compared it lol
can argentina still get the mustache man?
What
Can i only nuke with missles with ICBM and nuclear warhead?
Look who's talking shit about belgium...
Can somebody recommend me attack division templates? (With the new dlc) I heard the new heavy artillery is really good
Belgium has the same problem as France
yes
French Empire is really the only good French tree imo. Being able to take Benelux and UK before Germany can is very strong
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?
REAL
@fresh cedar what do u think
About economies?
yes about how short german economy tree is
The French economy sucks. You’re forced to decolonize or get permanent strikes
and how long belguim economy tree is
not as long as
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
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
no I mean
And it’s diplomatic tree is amazing
Eh, gives them something to do
but like that still doesnt end your focus tree man
440 days is to form a new government
as belguim
595 + 440 = 1135 days
I think thats really long
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
Isn’t it split with the Congo though?
I mean rebuilding german economy path is still short
no
rebuilding the german economy takes 455 days
which is ok
but belgian
595 days
Yes because German economy = diplomacy/conquering
and you still dont finish the economy tree
it just gives you a
functional economy a bit
and how about the 440 days to just form a new government?
don't you think that's absurd
I don’t mind honestly, when I played Belgium I never found it hurting me
I mean the content is really dry to me
a walloon being the leader of the rexist party
dunno
Belgium is fun. Could it have been better? Maybe. But I so far like it more than the Congo or Hungary
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
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
paradox african content in 2 words:
UNITE AFRICA
Trial of Allegiance is fun in terms of uniting South America. Ethiopia and Congo aren’t
It plays like Switzerland
Agreed
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
?
That’s basically just Chile though
As if Poland bringing back Anastasia Romanov and getting replaced by a bear isn’t absurd
Oh the Latin Countries
Africa needs better formables imo
Honestly paradox needs a bit diplomacy rework
Legit only fun Congo tree is Mittelafrika
Really does I agree
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."
IMO the only fun African country is South Africa and specialist communist anti colonial crusade where you can puppet all of Africa
yes
Oh yeah
I know what you’re saying now
That you have to conquer entire countries to take a land far from them
yes
TOA actually tried avoiding that
Brazil can wage small wars and end once land is taken
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"
In general the next major DLC needs a diplomacy rework
yes
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
Conditional surrenders need work
and also
yes
Yeah Brazil can. Hope more get it
tommykay had something like that
Bet Graveyard of Empires will have it
Iraq shouldn’t need to take London and Paris to take Kuwait
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
If its a regional war
it should be limited
and adding a seperate thing for economic unions
like kaiserreich has
I noticed that being much worse recently too
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
Can I turn Monarchist as belgium without capitulating? if so, how?
Yeh you can do it if you the the command “set_ruling_party n”
I dont like how you cant leave a faction if you are fighting the same war as them but they can kick you out any time
Agreed. Allie’s will constantly kick you out if you’ve generated any world tension. It should be a thing where either they can and or can’t. And if they can kick, it’s only if you generated world tension after joining
I think it’s apparent though that factions and diplomacy needs a serious rework
fr
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
All the niche diplomatic oddities need a facelift tbh
I legit never do border conflicts. Find them infuriating and a waste of time
And in my 6k hours never have used conditional surrender
true cuz they pretty much only used it for waking the tiger
Only common use of it is Khalkhin Gol
A functional border conflict system would be awesome for minor powers imo
Or using conditional surrender to just get resource rights
especially because if you are a small nation that needs some land the a major controls it would be useful
Ideal in the southern hemisphere
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
i think probably a japan rework with south east asia
Hopefully
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
i cant wait for asia to get some love
Feels like Warhammer 40k not real war
siam, dutch east indies, malaysia, mengukuo, mongolia/tannu tuva all dont have focus trees
australia and nz are limited
well
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
Just can’t see them doing a mainland Asia rework before a pacific war one
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
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
Fr
China deserves its own full dlc tbh
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
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
Southeast asia plus japan just sounds better tbh
The more the merrier I suppose
I can imagine a little entente dlc with a france rework and a commonwealth dlc with a UK rework
Yeh
If I have to buy a China/japan dlc imma start tweaking
The old one got integrated
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..
Anti air
20 AA
does a lot
Yes
getting control of south England is hard no matter the nation
What would you recommend for a good large bomber design?
Lemme find one
Thank you
Do u wanna do long range? Or short range
Hm, long range probably
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)
Yup
Much appreciated
I've been trying to successfully invade and capitulate the UK in this new DLC.
Hull as in the Eastern side?
Dover is a suicide charge
I have sometimes made a landing, but I would eventually get pushed out.
Yup
I used to do how you are telling me now, so I will go for it again.
Would you suggest I use paradroppers?
U could try to suicide charge paratroopers away from the naval invasion to distract
Use marines to invade hull
I thought that
Maybe amphib tanks
Oh definitely
Make sure to have convoy escort on
Do you have a recommended template for infantry and marines?
Brb
I use 18 width for infantry
9 in combat, and support artillary, anti air, and engineering for the support company.
18w marines might work
Give them supp arty and engineer
U could add 1-2 arty battalions
Try to stay around 20w
battalions as in the combat or support slot?
Combat
No problem
Flame-tanks also works
i barely use them
I find them a little annoying to set up every game
A question, is cheating for the AI in ironman added?
What does that mean
No
reinstall hoi4
As Italy should I be a support to Germany or try to expand myself?
You need to be expanding into Yugoslavia and into Greece, and the rest of the Med Sea and Northern Africa
Same
Just do your own thing and betray them. You’re effectively trying to get the same land as them
Because they were one of the first countries to ever develop them and as early as the 20’s started using them
that ^^^^
some spanish guy made them
Why not
Theyre amazing thats why
USA, Soviet Union and France had helicopters at this point as well (not in active military duty tho?)
Based
I think Spain was already commonly using them for scouting and other missions hence why it starts with it
is it just me or did paradox remove some german portraits?
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
there it is
german government is sensitive about the nazi stuff due to ww2 etc
if u want uncensored version then either get the american version or get a mod that uncensors him
yea i know that but i didnt think they would go this far as in censoring a video game
if its anything relating to ww2 and that part of german history then the laws will not be avoided
ww2 was the worst time to be alive in germany unless u glaze the regime cough tno devs cough
tbh
i don't like the new major update
game feels off
maybe toooo many things to do now
my opinion tho
no they had autogyros
yeah , but i think ppl believe that its like overly sensitive.. There a alot of german hitler comedys for example
i mean u can literally larp stalin sending(or killing ofc) ppl to gulag in hoi4...
russia dosent care
Like how 80% of the “helicopters” in game are autogiros
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.
U said the same thing people have said for months
Ik
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.
We all know
Why would Japan and the USA get a mechanized rework? If anything they’d get a Naval/Diplomacy rework
Legit we had a convo about that last week 😂
Yeah I forgot about the naval part 💀
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💀
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Only reason I thought motorized/mechanized rework is due to manufacturing of cars in USA
Types of mechanized kinda already exists though
Can turn tanks into them sort of by adding tracks
And IFV’s are a thing
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
That makes sense
Too OP
Where is my M1 Thompson? USA
I believe that’s a glitch, it often corrects by itself if not leave and rejoin the match
I am honestly surprised first gen IFVs weren’t a thing added to Gotterdamerung.
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
Mechanized and armored cars sorta there already ig
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
