[crisp rivet]

I see

Tru

[dusk mist]

But graveyard of empires sounds cooler than whatever you would call iran

[cyan venture]

But thw paradox never focused fully on history but on gameplay

[crisp rivet]

(Failed) Persia

[dusk mist]

Persia at home

[cyan venture]

In my nationalist hugarian eyes Hungary some level of grave yard of empires too XD cause mongolia and ottomans. We just not talk about the habsburgs XD

[molten torrent]

i wonder how difficult afghanistan will be to conquer now

[quiet verge]

Will Oman have Gwadar?

[molten torrent]

Soviet Union forever stuck listening to Gruppa Krovi

[molten torrent]

i hope so

[cyan venture]

Anyways so far what you guys think about Göttendanburg

[rocky oasis]

Oman has been renamed to the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman (source: steam page)

[quiet verge]

Makes sense

[crisp rivet]

If the nukes didn’t take so long to get as a minor nation. 9/10

[cyan venture]

Well tecnicaly you could rush it. I did as Hungary

[crisp rivet]

True. But still

[dusk mist]

tbh you can get nukes insanely early

[cyan venture]

But yeah I see your point comrade

[fading walrus]

Some dude was angry that mechs weren’t added in gdr

He was a weeb

[dusk mist]

and honestly minor nations not getting early nukes make perfect sense

[crisp rivet]

And you try to get “Spaak of genius” in historical

[fading walrus]

Like this is history

[sharp raptor]

if played correct can france beat germany

[dusk mist]

history-inspired

[cyan venture]

My problem was that I almost had nuke but my scientist got sick or what so i needed restart

[fading walrus]

Mech robots have never been used in battle

[dusk mist]

i was talking about nukes

[fading walrus]

They wouldn’t work

[dusk mist]

i think we ar ein different conversations

[fading walrus]

I was talking about this

[dusk mist]

and accidentally crossed over

[cyan venture]

This not Starwars XD

[dusk mist]

i was talking about this

[zenith cargo]

just fyi its a wip portrait

[fading walrus]

He wanted it like Gundam

Which was cringe

[runic depot]

There are map changes to make it more accurate & improve gameplay but we're just focusing on the relevant region, UK & France won't see any map changes for now.

[cyan venture]

Any focus updates?

[sharp raptor]

?

[rocky oasis]

Don’t worry, despite playing these games I am capable of reading.

[cyan venture]

Well you gould try early steamrole Germany till is weak and not allied with Italy yet

[polar jasper]

Yes

Easily

[quiet verge]

You are too dangerous to be left alive

[polar jasper]

If you can easily hold as Belgium, you can hold as the French

[quiet verge]

https://tenor.com/view/mace-windu-revenge-of-the-sith-gif-22267850

[cyan venture]

By the way is only to me as hungary Nightmare to Micro Yugoslavia?

[sharp raptor]

but like isnt germany the strongest in early game

[fading walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/mace-windu-mace-windu-hand-anakin-anakin-cuts-off-hand-gif-17968926488913811040

[polar jasper]

They player is always strongest early game if you play your cards right

[dusk mist]

sounds accurate enough

[cyan venture]

Not realy it economic is in ruins and not yet started spam divisions

[polar jasper]

Unless you have a really kneecapped nation

[cyan venture]

Germany true might is start after it attack poland

[sharp raptor]

alright

[polar jasper]

France is stronger in 1936, but you explode if you fight Germany

France is strong in 38 during sudeten crisis

France is on par in 39

[crisp rivet]

Yeah, but how you push?

Like in 38

[sharp raptor]

exactly

[cyan venture]

Like I had gameplay where Czechia refused to give up sudetaland and Czechia is pushed realy good.

[rocky oasis]

Paradox agrees that one cannot improve upon the perfection that is this guy. /j

[sharp raptor]

the maginot line is impossible to penetrate

[polar jasper]

You have some offensive divisions and hopefully have invested in the air force

You have the maginot

The Germans have only level 3 forts

[fresh cedar]

Not if you have CAS and heavy artillery, it’s easy

[cyan venture]

Nah just need few tank and is done

[crisp rivet]

I don’t do well in division designer

[polar jasper]

Investing in an air force makes France win

[fresh cedar]

I’ve legit broken through maginot within a month a few times now since GDR released

[cyan venture]

Similiar to Hungary cause it placement in central europe

[polar jasper]

9/0 inf works, your default template. It can attack well enough with CAS

[crisp rivet]

Oh ok

[sharp raptor]

what version is latest rn btw

[polar jasper]

If you need more bite, adding 1 or 2 artillery battalions work, but isn't best

[fresh cedar]

9 works bc support is so good now

[cyan venture]

By the way Airforce do better as independent or added to army?

[polar jasper]

I think France has support arty default

[fresh cedar]

I only do that on mountaineer divisions

Bc extra arty buffs

[sharp raptor]

+1

[polar jasper]

Don't convert your entire army to 9/1s or 9/2s

[cyan venture]

?

[cobalt jay]

I just realized something funny

[polar jasper]

Attach it to an army for less micro

[sharp raptor]

i meant i also want to know the answer for that question

[polar jasper]

Otherwise you can just have it not attarched

[dusk mist]

pray tell

[cyan venture]

By the way who played Hungary and what thought about yugoslavia war. I SWEAR to god is nigtmare to clear out your corner

[cobalt jay]

I wonder since this is a state modifier if it carries over when the Japanese capture it

[dusk mist]

it should i guess

[molten torrent]

Lord Mountbatten when

[cobalt jay]

Me purposefully failing the famine mini game so Japan has 100% resistance target and no compliance in every state they take

[dusk mist]

mwahaha

[quiet verge]

Scotched Earth at its finest

[dusk mist]

i didn't realise it was in so many states

thought it was in just one

[fading walrus]

thats what happend historically

[quiet verge]

I wonder if Bose can rule both commie and fascist India (depending on who he gets supports from)

[polar jasper]

This sounds like a war crime

[solid gyro]

so GoE released?

[wise oxide]

infinite uprisings

[solid gyro]

is GoE and GDR still buy-able with the pass?

[cobalt jay]

The Geneva suggestions don't apply in video games

[pseudo wing]

You can still buy the expansion pass (that is why the current price of GoE is listed as the same because it isn't released yet)

GoE releases fully on March 4th

[wise oxide]

fr you can thermo nuclear bomb tokyo for fun 100+ times and drag the war forever with brutal opression and no country will bat an eye😭

[thick edge]

Avg hoi4 player

[solid gyro]

what about GDR?

[polar jasper]

Games when they use a red cross:

The international red cross:

[solid gyro]

its still in the pass right?

[pseudo wing]

GDR has a separate store page you can purchase it from if you don't want the EP

[solid gyro]

true lmao

[pseudo wing]

GDR is in the pass, yes

[wise oxide]

will the famine effect birth rates?

[solid gyro]

oh so i can still get both with the pass?

[pseudo wing]

correct

[solid gyro]

theres no expiration of the pass? xd

[cobalt jay]

Ah yes high priority targets

[pseudo wing]

so long as the pass is active, you can still grab it and the additional stuff from it (the model packs and song)

as for no expiration I am not fully sure, steam passes are still new, I'd have to ask

[kindred beacon]

If India gains independence, can they rename cities to their Hindi equivalents? For example, Bombay to Mumbai

[thick edge]

What kind of models will the prototypes have

[pseudo wing]

prototype models

[thick edge]

Thanks

[solid gyro]

[thick edge]

Prototype as in half built

[rocky oasis]

Honestly, I am excited to see what the prototype vehicles are.

[thick edge]

Or pure paper

[kindred beacon]

Actually this probably will work especially combined with scorched earth if u have NSB

[pseudo wing]

Ultra mega bob semple of course || /s||

[kindred beacon]

Big Bob

[solid gyro]

gonna steamroll everyone on war elephants

[thick edge]

Like what about the Chrysler TV-8

[rocky oasis]

*Bigger Bob.

[solid gyro]

b i g b o b

[kindred beacon]

Honestly I think the USSR should also have a famine mechanic, historically the five year plan caused a huge famine in Ukraine and they had a famine when Germany invaded Ukraine

[thick edge]

Menace on the battlefield

[pseudo wing]

I kinda want it just for the memes but I'm not sure if it's realistic lol, imagine a special project for something like the landcruiser but in newzealand it makes an ultra large bob semple as the model lol

[solid gyro]

this is the prototype model

[kindred beacon]

If you lose your agricultural regions you should suffer progressively worse starvation

[thick edge]

I hope it’s not things like a maus , or a ho-ri

[kindred beacon]

Not a war crime if you win

[rocky oasis]

The Land Cruiser for New Zealand should just be a normal tank lol.

[pseudo wing]

alright, let's chill on the war crime talk

not funny

[wise oxide]

hoi community be like

[kindred beacon]

But on a serious note will the famine mechanic be made in a way to prevent using it as an exploit?

[eager raft]

Guys

Hello to all

I’m new here

[rocky oasis]

Welcome

[kindred beacon]

That idea about intentionally starving your people so they are... harder for the Japanese to conquer/deal with probably shouldn't work

[pseudo wing]

hello, Savakzedeh, how are you doing today?

[kindred beacon]

If anything the Japanese should get COMPLIANCE bonuses

[thick edge]

An obj 279 or Tsar tank would be great

[kindred beacon]

If they take over areas suffering from famine because the starving people would welcome them as liberators

[eager raft]

I wanted to know if anyone know where I can get this image in full resolution

This art is absolutely stunning. I’m trying to find it in full resolution / quality

[pseudo wing]

I can make it in full resolution, just not today

I have the file for it

remind me tomorrow or friday

and I can get it to everyone

[eager raft]

Chak- you have the file or will be using upscaler?:)

[pseudo wing]

I have the .PSD (photoshop) file for it

[eager raft]

Oh that is amazing

You would make a lot of us Iranians happy 🙂

Thank you so much

[pseudo wing]

I did it for the Gotterdamerung art too, its pinned in this channel, I'll make sure to do the same when I get around to it

[solid gyro]

this goes hard 🔥

feel free to screenshot xd

[eager raft]

Anyone else might have the original full res file ??

In case Chad will be busy this weekend

[kindred beacon]

There is no way to fully prevent the Bengali famine?

[eager raft]

Chak-

[solid gyro]

Chad~

xd

[cobalt jay]

My apologies, Chak, I kinda started this, but do you know if the famine modifier is exclusively for Raj or if anyone controlling the state will get it?

[thick edge]

Same thing

[solid gyro]

yes

[pseudo wing]

they wouldn't outside of devs, since I work for Paradox I have the file and can access it

just remind me tomorrow, I am not working a lot tomorrow and it takes a few moments

[pseudo wing]

I am not sure, I believe it'll be tied to the provinces/states themselves but I don't have the information on hand

[eager raft]

Aha tack 🙂

We will be spreading this image a lot if that’s ok hehe

It’s already spreading on X

But in low quality

[fresh cedar]

Famine raids confirmed?

[cobalt jay]

I know it is a state modifier from the dev diary, I was just curious if it would still be there if say Japan took the state

[fresh cedar]

Logically should be

Current state buff/debuffs exist no matter who owns it

[pseudo wing]

I think it stays

[fresh cedar]

Imagine it would be the same

Probably similar code to a dam

[thick edge]

Why did I read that as feminine raids

[fresh cedar]

😂

[cobalt jay]

So basically you can exploit it so it debuffs Japan to high hell

[waxen axle]

Hey chack

[fresh cedar]

Japan conquers India and suddenly they’re no longer hungry.

[fresh cedar]

Probably makes occupying India expensive

As it should be to occupy a densely populated country

[waxen axle]

Can we talk i private?

[cobalt jay]

Its absolutely horrendous

[waxen axle]

in*

[fresh cedar]

Kinda makes sense though

[pseudo wing]

if its in reference to the previous conversation we had, nothing I can do about it man

[fresh cedar]

I like that it’ll kinda make Japan think twice about rolling in

I still need to read the diary, works been busy today

[cobalt jay]

Yeah but what is stopping someone from effectively using it as a scorched earth policy?

[thick edge]

My dumbass will play Japan and wonder why I’m dying

[fresh cedar]

Probably its main use tbh

[pseudo wing]

I've been reading the alt hist one since I was typing it up earlier.... you are gonna like it

[fresh cedar]

Most countries can already scorch earth. Why not allow India to do it that way

[fresh cedar]

Hyped

People at work have been very demanding with many questions today 😭

[thick edge]

Alt hist
Become a puppet of Japan

[cobalt jay]

My favorite part is that with the current screenshots, it will actually be bad for Raj to core the Princely States

[fresh cedar]

Hopefully now is some down time

[fresh cedar]

Can you get rid of it like with infrastructure?

[cobalt jay]

You would be stronger leaving them as occupied territories

[pseudo wing]

welcome to my world

[fresh cedar]

Yeah I do customer support too and some days just aren’t it. That’s why I always try to empathize with you when you’re going through it 😂

[waxen axle]

Yes and No, No because i understand that on yes part the mod responded on steam on his profile

[cobalt jay]

Because what you do is you start the Princely States on this until they reach 100% compliance

[fresh cedar]

That’s pretty cool tbh

[pseudo wing]

you can send the messages you want but cant make promises on keeping up the convo, I am only here in between doing tasks atm

[waxen axle]

Okay

[cobalt jay]

And once you get 100% compliance you swap over to this occupation law and provided you have high stab and low resistance, you will pretty much have 200% factories and resource gain provided you can supply the garrisons

[pseudo wing]

eh, some people don't wanna learn, or already made up their mind and wanna be right, sometimes, ain't much one can do about it tbh

I stay as respectful as I can (unless I am picking on Fraser) until someone does something absurd or repeats behaviour that they've been told to stop lol

[cobalt jay]

[pseudo wing]

(and to be clear Fraser and I pick on eachother I am not booli)

[waxen axle]

So there will be famine mechanic

?

[pseudo wing]

it's apart of the hist portions of the focuses for the RAJ

[cobalt jay]

Also I see Paradox is trying to revive civ gred

[thick edge]

Correction, it’s not Fraser it is
-# Fraser

[pseudo wing]

lmao, i forget the formatting to get that

[runic depot]

this was painful to code

[thick edge]

Minus symbol then #

[pseudo wing]

-#Bob Semple

[cobalt jay]

I can imagine, also are you allowed to say if the famine state modifier stays regardless of owner or not?

[pseudo wing]

ive been lied to

[thick edge]

U need a space

Between the # and B

[pseudo wing]

-# BobSemple

ohhh

[thick edge]

Yes

[stable tusk]

-# Why are we whispering

[crisp rivet]

[thick edge]

[crisp rivet]

He died

I become general secretary now

[drifting star]

Will there be an emperor of India national spirit or related focuses ?

[fresh cedar]

Why is there an angry version lol

[drifting star]

The best way to peace is a strong deterrent

[fresh cedar]

Saw Lily typing, Ik Lily worked on the Raj

Probably wanted to answer and asked other devs only to have them say “wait” 😦

Rip angry Gandhi lore

[runic depot]

me and craniummuppet both burst out laughing maniacally when this was posted on the forums lol

[drifting star]

Could any of the princes become head of India also any ottoman esq focuses related to Moazzam Jah

[thick edge]

Are like all the devs in a vc or sum

[runic depot]

no, we are in the same building

[fickle sedge]

Yeah was just gonna say, there's this thing called an office ☝️

[thick edge]

Close enough

[fickle sedge]

So it's like a physical vc 😅

[thick edge]

Fr

I thought devs were around the world

Not like office work

lol

[drifting star]

Most dev jobs are like this

[polar jasper]

Where else could they have been for that tanks for 100k subscribers special?

Would have been hard to do that in a zoom call

[tropic zenith]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuys

[thick edge]

Idk what that was

I’m missing some lore

[polar jasper]

It was a video on the official hoi4 channel

And one of the devs drove a lego tank around the office

[thick edge]

Yo?

[fresh cedar]

Legendary post 😂

[thick edge]

Send me that

[polar jasper]

https://youtu.be/9YDgAiMKisM?si=GHgjwHOupVVIHril

Wait, if hoi4 posts a video from their channel, does it mean they are doing illegal self promo?

[thick edge]

Ban them

[pseudo mulch]

Please send it when you have the chance, this is by far the hardest HoI4 image I've seen

[harsh hull]

Wait, India with a good focus tree?

[fresh cedar]

Perhaps

[harsh hull]

Who are we supposed to mock now?

[fresh cedar]

Japan

[harsh hull]

Nah, that's too easy of a target

[buoyant ore]

japan, usa, australia, new zealand, south africa, and china

[harsh hull]

Ah, New Zealand, that's a good target

[buoyant ore]

but they dont exist every map proved that

hoi4 is an inaccurate map

[harsh hull]

You think I'm above mocking the content of countries that only exist in concept?

How little you know

[buoyant ore]

the only relevant new zealand has is when you try to cap the allies and somehow they become the major after taking out UK and USA

[cyan venture]

What the...

[cyan venture]

How is even work do the elephants stomp tanks or what XD

[thick edge]

Elephants will be so memey

[fading walrus]

https://tenor.com/view/armoured-elephants-rome-total-war-carthage-praetorian-cohort-urban-cohort-gif-15814623

[thick edge]

Slower than horses
But high hp
And decent breakthrough

[cosmic aurora]

and they should add elephant guns.

[cyan venture]

They by their own self be Memeinforcement like the meme reinforcment already exist

[solid gyro]

i can smell some modders recreating the second punic war

with them war elephants

Elephants gonna be the new meta tanks trust who needs vehicles just use elephants as your tanks and the horses as troop transports

[balmy hull]

If you go on the steam page you can see parts of irans focus tree

[fresh cedar]

So hyped we’re getting more monuments

Such an underrated addition to the game

[cyan venture]

We play WW2 simulator or Hanibal Simulator? Xd

[solid gyro]

Both xD

[cyan venture]

XD

[solid gyro]

I tell you we gonna go to rome hanibal style with this one

[cyan venture]

While With Hungary I remake the Hussars XD

[solid gyro]

xD

[cyan venture]

While me as Hungary in RON mod

[solid gyro]

Nice now all you have to do is conquer the transilvanian province then the hungarian hegemony is established

[cyan venture]

My plan is wait out till Poland bleed out so Third Reich can focus on Czech Slovakia

[waxen axle]

What will be most OP path of india?

[solid gyro]

Independet path most likely or different but either commie, fascist or monarchist if it gets a path

[waxen axle]

Interesting

I hope they reworked resources too

[cyan venture]

And this my terrible infantry

[solid gyro]

Same

[fading walrus]

Play Rome 2 Divide Et Impera for that

fun mod

[floral mulch]

what is this support company ?

[fading walrus]

you can play as one of 45 factions (nations)

Rome, Carthage, and Maurya just to name 3

[floral mulch]

guys what is this ?

[cyan venture]

Ia in a mod ron and is Mortal

[floral mulch]

and what is mod name ?

[cyan venture]

RON or Rise of Nations is a timeline from 1900-2060 with a ton of chapter

[floral mulch]

ok

thx

[cyan venture]

Np :3

[waxen axle]

Mortar

[novel cliff]

this is very crazy

someday we will figure out the compliance micro meta for raj

[novel cliff]

especially that this thing burns through compliance slower than harsh quota

only -0.05 per day

[cloud snow]

Server profile update

[fleet depot]

But you are -35% while you are on the other law

I m guessing you can just stay on civillian administration or whatever it’s called until you have enough mils there to make it worth swapping

[digital pumice]

what is that screenshot 😭

and how do you have arty on the same row as inf

taking a screenshot cant be that hard

[frosty oak]

I am SO HYPE for the Raj, it used to be my one of my favorite countries to play, and I’m so excited to see it finally get the love and care it deserves

I can’t wait to see Iran too

I wonder if there’s any cool things we can do to survive against the Anglo-Soviet Invasion

But the Raj looks so good, I love countries that continue to get better over the entire course of the game

Like the Soviet Union, you just never stop improving it

There’s just something very neuron activated dopamine dispensed about fixing something and strengthening

[dense gale]

No point building up compliance just have it constantly on that occupation law

Since getting the 100% now is more impt

Than waiting for the 40% or so more factories

[drifting star]

Auto rickshaws should have its own unit

[trim quartz]

Same. I love playing as colonies. The Congo was a blessing from paradox, and I’m extremely happy to see the British Raj being updated

[runic depot]

[runic depot]

When I joined the team and found out we were adding elephants I thought it was a joke until it was repeated by like 6 people

Best feature we've ever made they are incredible

peak comedy and apparently somewhat historically accurate

[stable tusk]

Elephant

[runic depot]

yes

[drifting star]

Can we see the elephants stats ?

Also will they be a special unit

[thick edge]

I swear

If they are special

Like mountaineers

[frosty oak]

I appreciate the Congo, not my favorite country, but I love how tall I can build by milking the Belgians for all their worth, building myself quarterways to Malaya levels of rubber

[runic depot]

Not yet, later though

[frosty oak]

Thank you for your service 🫡

[runic depot]

No

Though not available to every country

[drifting star]

We gunna find out why they all goin extinct through this game

[drifting star]

Any chance at auto rickshaws?

[pallid hollow]

can we name the elephant, Steve?

[runic depot]

you can rename the division I suppose lol

[pallid hollow]

I'M GONNA CALL IT BUBBLES INSTEAD

[pseudo wing]

you got bubbles killed

ur a murderer

[pallid hollow]

?? Bubbles was Kattens' responsibility

[pseudo wing]

its ALL

Begumn Cogo?

[fleet depot]

Elephants are about to unseat camels as the most meta joke division

Can’t wait for the elephant meta

[hoary siren]

Camels are unironically pretty good though

[tacit sequoia]

New achievement moment? Lol

[quiet halo]

@worldly shadow

Can I watch the game?

Thx

[fleet depot]

thats what I mean though

only issue is theyh dont get doctrinal bonuses so they dont scale

[hoary siren]

Can’t wait for elephants to scale with MA

[thick edge]

Mexican AI is gifted

[solid gyro]

Elephants only when

[outer whale]

I think they might be a cavalary skin

[trim quartz]

I’m going to skin your cavalry

[lament bison]

The horses, troops, or both?

[zenith cargo]

They are a unit

[frozen marsh]

like camel

but camels are available only for certain countries

elephants will also be the same?

[zenith cargo]

Yes

[frozen marsh]

which countries will they be available to?

[zenith cargo]

The Raj, and a special path

[frozen marsh]

Oh

thankss

[outer whale]

I am gonna be capitalist

as playing raj

am gonna print money

[eager raft]

Is Chak around?:)

Not sure it was in this channel he hanged around in.

[outer whale]

Are we going to be able to take kuwait with war against UK without paradropping london

like are you guys gonna end custom peace mechanics for it again

or are we going to march in london or paris to take the lands we need

Honestly Hoi4 needs a massive diplomacy rework

[hearty blade]

Probably this knowing paradox

[pulsar socket]

Partial peace decisions don't exist, just wait for a mod to let you do this 👍

[hollow coral]

Some people actually want to do achievements

[outer whale]

it does exist.

[hollow coral]

For argentina

[outer whale]

finland has it, when you manage to take leningrad and soviet scandivian lands

[outer whale]

soviets give you the scandivian lands

[hollow coral]

When you take falklands you can peace put with uk

[outer whale]

and you give them leningrad back

[outer whale]

yeah this thing should be expanded into countries

[hollow coral]

Fr

[crisp rivet]

Like for an Irish dlc, when you have all of Northern Ireland, you should make Britain peace out

[hollow coral]

Especially if they are far from you and the only chance is to cap them

[hollow coral]

Hopefully a british and commonwealth dlc would include ireland

[outer whale]

imagine you are japan and germany dies

you have to march thourgh washington london and paris

[hollow coral]

Japan never wanted to land in america too

[outer whale]

to end the war

[fading walrus]

Unpopular opinion KoK for eu4 is already better than this dlc

KoK is King of Kings btw

[thick edge]

Sounds like fun

[granite vessel]

Were elephants even used in military operations in the twentieth century?

I think they will be scared by the artillery barrage.

[pulsar socket]

Don't start questioning the historical accuracy of Hoi4

[frozen marsh]

yes

[hollow coral]

I mean they are fundementally different games

So you cant really compare them

[dusk mist]

for logistics purposes

not as combat units

[thick edge]

Are elephants the new motorized???

[dusk mist]

it would be cool if they were like helis

[thick edge]

Ah yes

[dusk mist]

"elephant medevac"

[thick edge]

Levitating elephant

[undone kelp]

Also, if I remember correctly elephants were really useful for moving the heavy artillery pieces through rough terrain ordinary trucks couldn’t handle

[dusk mist]

real photo btw

heliphant of the indian air force

Go stand in the corner and think about what you’ve done

[dusk mist]

The heliphants shall not be subdued

Please, Paradox, come to your senses before it's too late. Make the elephants support companies.

[fresh cedar]

Should totally be support companies agreed

But what type of support? Definitely not recon

Logistics, engineer?

[undone kelp]

Also, being able to mass produce elephants would imply a mass elephant breeding program

[fresh cedar]

Would probably just be support equipment

[thick edge]

Elephants will be the new infantry

It will be so funny

[dusk mist]

Logistics, engineer (lol), artillery

medical?

[dusk mist]

easier to spot things from high up

[fresh cedar]

Can’t be too many things or it’s OP

Like Helicopters do 3 but they’re a special project and are kind of expensive to run due to reliability and fuel

Elephants should be like a worse version with maybe only 2 instead of 3, and limited by a division cap

[dusk mist]

log and artillery then

[hearty blade]

No

[pseudo wing]

Full res image, will make a 1920x1080 version in case this image file is too large

---

1920x1080 version

[hearty blade]

Beautiful art

[fresh cedar]

Idk why but I’m sorta surprised that Iran is the central image of the DLC

The Raj just seemed like a bigger actor and part of WW2

The art is still amazing and like it a lot

[vast mulch]

hi when is the non historical Raj dev diary

[runic depot]

Tomorrow

[vast mulch]

ok thanks

[granite vessel]

Please think about it. Using elephants in battle is such a stupid idea. It's just STUPID.

[crisp rivet]

Why is Iran the main nation and not Afghanistan ?

[hearty blade]

Iran is coolest out of the bunch ngl

[crisp rivet]

Ya not wrong

[hearty blade]

Afghanistan didnt do much during ww2 thats like asking why hungary isnt main nation in last update

[crisp rivet]

I get that.

But Iran just got invaded by the USSR and Britain

[hearty blade]

True but atleast it has some history imo it was between raj and iran since iran was independent they picked them

Over raj

[gilded ocean]

They said they are doing a lot with Persian Empire paths for Iran.

[crisp rivet]

I would say something about an achievement related to that, but I learned my lesson with the antianchluss achievement

[granite vessel]

Did you turn off the sound of the gun? A man is sitting on an elephant with a gun.

Please read about elephants during the world wars.

[harsh hull]

Can someone post that dev diary timeline image

I'm at work and can't go hunting for it

[granite vessel]

They should help to move supplies or build bridges.

[thick edge]

The wait is so fun

[harsh hull]

Cheers, saving that

Back to the grind

[solid gyro]

What r u grinding

[granite vessel]

Show the elephant's stats, what they are, how much armor and speed they have

PLEASE PLEASE SHOW ME

Please make an armor for the elephant, otherwise it will be unrealistic.

Please don't ignore me.

The trailer turned out great, the music is great.

[fresh cedar]

Hence the logistics support

[fresh cedar]

Would argue India is honestly

[hearty blade]

it was between india and iran for me

but i think i like iran more because idk that much about india but i know india is also big historically and stuff with content

[fresh cedar]

Iran has the potential for really cool things but as far as WW2 went India was

[hearty blade]

i agre

[fresh cedar]

But probably will play Iran first

[granite vessel]

In 1942, when the Japanese invaded Burma, Williams joined a British Special Forces unit that specialized in guerrilla warfare. Deep in the jungle, his elephant company built bridges and ferried weapons and supplies. Cornered by the Japanese, they faced their most daunting test, an epic trek across several mountain ranges to India—and safety.

[hearty blade]

i feel like india will have WAY more content

cuz they have the princely states

[fresh cedar]

Feel like elephants should be similar to pioneers/camelry recon

But for the jungle

[hearty blade]

i like elephant theyre cute

[fresh cedar]

Big target though

[hearty blade]

damn :(

[fresh cedar]

AT support would have a field day

[drifting star]

Imagine elephant units + marine support companies

[fresh cedar]

So would elephants be like a Jungle logistics support?

[fresh cedar]

RIP Japan

[split tartan]

india owning a part of yemen is crazy

[crisp rivet]

How so?

[split tartan]

idk its just very weird to me

i know its historical

but like wtf

[crisp rivet]

I know

[drifting star]

Suggestion : add nidhal as a successor to ottoman sultan as he is the family successor for his family line

[gentle canyon]

Hi, I just wanted to report that bandar emam is an abbreviation for bandar imam khomeini which is the name that has been given to the port after 1979 revolution of iran and in the pahlavi era (including reza shah era) it was called "bandar shahpur" and this screenshot that has been uploaded on steam is not historically accurate ,plz consider editting it.Here is the source link if it is needed : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandar-e_Emam_Khomeyni#:~:text=Before the 1979 Iranian Revolution%2C it was known as Bandar Shahpur

[ionic thorn]

bro is there gonna be Pakistan in the new update?

[drifting star]

No focuses

[fresh cedar]

Suggest posting about it in developer diary on the hoi4 site, devs listen there

[trim quartz]

Cool train focus icon

[eager raft]

Awesome! Thank you so much

Have you guys noticed the love and joy from all Iranians ??

I seen several Iranians who will buy the dlc and the game just because of this

[hearty blade]

yes i never knew iranians were this happy to have a dlc featuring them

but good for them i guess i hope its gonna be a good balanced update unlike TOA

[eager raft]

Would love to ask you guys what the thoughts were

You got so many things right

I’m guessing there are real Iranians who developed the game?

Iranians love reza shah and the Pahlavi dynasty 🙂 they got really excited with the trailer and this amazing art whoever made it

Who’s the artist?

[dense veldt]

You think there will be a mention of underrated indian freedom fighter Baghat Singh?

[zenith cargo]

He died in 31

[hearty blade]

i dont think so

all the devs for hoi4 (i believe) live in stockholm and go to office to work

so theres a very small chance an iranian who lives in stockholm helped make it

[dense veldt]

ik, but he's so underrated, maybe the communist path will pretain to his legacy?

[hearty blade]

they probably contacted like real iranian people who know about the history and stuff but idk if a real iranian person assisted in developing it

[dense veldt]

Ever since I first learned of Baghat Singh and watched the movie about him, he's the first person i think about in a potentially communist hindustan.

[eager raft]

If I can answer about Iran u can always ask me

[zenith cargo]

We did have someone from Iran in our team a while ago, but not anymore

[hearty blade]

unfortunate. still cool tho

[stable tusk]

Well, will there be Udham Singh?

[hollow lion]

@eager raft Keep it civil
@plucky cragPlease ping moderation instead of encouraging
@trim quartz No politics/politicians
@rugged sluice No begging

[fresh cedar]

What on earth

[pure schooner]

What happened here lol

[drifting star]

They called me a mad man

next dev diary is tomorrow

[drifting star]

Will Afghanistan get a monarchist path ?

[thick edge]

thats was something

[rocky oasis]

I wonder who the leader of the reborn East India Company will be.

[drifting star]

Prolly the head of a tea manufacturer or a royal

[rocky oasis]

The East India Company will rise again, like a capitalist Phoenix.

[hollow coral]

afghanistan was a monarchy during ww2

[drifting star]

Whoops

[keen ferry]

Any potential path guesses ?

[thick edge]

Dev diary 😈

[mental onyx]

First time seeing this funky portraits

[runic depot]

lol its our debug portrait

[daring forge]

silly otto my beloved

[drifting star]

To clarify can Mughal India form mongol empire ?

[fading walrus]

Alright Mughals

[drifting star]

Or just Silk Road

[fading walrus]

probably not

that opertunity has long passed

[daring forge]

doesn not seem like it no

[drifting star]

Cuz they can core Mongolia acc to diary

[fading walrus]

when the Timurids became the Mughals and abandoned Persia

in favor of India

at the start of the 16th century

Fun fact: the Ottomans and Safvavids supported them

[daring forge]

the true mongol thing is referencing how mughal means mongol, not that you form mongolia

[fading walrus]

Because Mughal is a corrupted translation of Mongol

[frozen marsh]

bro

why are all the mughal princes hindus

😭

[rocky oasis]

Unless there is a secret Bourbon-Bhopal prince, our dreams of French India are destroyed my friends.

[fading walrus]

They had Hindu vassals

and Hindus in goverment

[frozen marsh]

yeah but their main leader cant be a hindu bro

its so wierd

[fading walrus]

until Aurganzeb f'kd everything up

[thick edge]

Ah yes civil war borders

My fav

[fading walrus]

the moral of his story is never make a multi cultral empire a single religion

[mental onyx]

Show this image to scare your indian friend

[fading walrus]

because it won't end well

[thick edge]

Mein god

That colour

[drifting star]

Cursed

[thick edge]

East indies

[fading walrus]

looks like Mauryan borders

[frozen marsh]

orange would be better

[thick edge]

Countries are so last month

[rocky oasis]

Based on the wording, I think there are more options than just those three. “Subsequently you get to choose a Peacock prince for your new empire, with any of the princes included in the DLC.”

[thick edge]

We play as a company

[drifting star]

Bro what is Afghanistan gunna have now 💀

[frozen marsh]

i didnt understand. what does that mean

[fading walrus]

Joe

[simple nymph]

We really got taxes in hoi4 before gta6

[rocky oasis]

There are more princes than just those three.

[frozen marsh]

oh

[mental onyx]

Giving off honduras banana republic vibes from RT56

[frozen marsh]

whats a peacock prince?

[lethal pelican]

I can't wait for the border gore when trying to form the silk road empire

[drifting star]

the Muslim empire run by a Hindu

[fading walrus]

Mama

[rocky oasis]

Fancy name for Indian prince I guess.

[drifting star]

Makes total sense

[mental onyx]

the hell is this?

[pseudo wing]

Tax evasion chart

[drifting star]

Tax evasion

[pseudo wing]

obviously

[lethal pelican]

Tax

[thick edge]

wtf

[runic depot]

The events fourth option is to look at another list, there are three pages, since an event can only have 4 buttons. You can pick any prince

[lethal pelican]

Ew

[thick edge]

Those borders

[frozen marsh]

ohhhh

[drifting star]

Oh thank the lord

Any special cores or bonuses depending on prince

[tired acorn]

No Egypt 💔

[thick edge]

Look at those stats

[drifting star]

I know the prince of hydrabad claimed he was caliph

[frozen marsh]

suez canal

[runic depot]

They all have unique leader traits but no bonus cores

[frozen marsh]

yes 😭

[frozen marsh]

wait just for one last confirmation, there are muslim princes too for mughal empire right?

[drifting star]

His wife was also daughter of the last ottoman caliph

[rocky oasis]

He should be available since his portrait was posted in the dev responses of the first dev diary.

[drifting star]

So no nuclear ghandi ?

[rocky oasis]

Yes

[rocky oasis]

Ghandi can become leader and presumably can get nukes.

[polar bronze]

Who will lead EIC

[frozen marsh]

wowow

[frozen marsh]

where u got this screenshot?

[frozen marsh]

i can if u want

[rocky oasis]

Dev responses in the first dev diary.

[frozen marsh]

oh

[drifting star]

Can we see what the true mongols focus does

[zenith cargo]

The Board of Directors

[drifting star]

Does Mughal empire have a Mongol empire yuan cosmetic tag ?

[rocky oasis]

There is also this guy

[frozen marsh]

damn

[runic depot]

Yes.

[kindred beacon]

Suggestion: currently with the nationalist path there isn't really any reason to go with Bose over Savarkar. I think embracing Hindutva should cause Pakistan and the Muslim princely states (Hyderabad, Kashmir, etc.) to revolt

[kindred beacon]

Most based hoi4 path of all time, I can finally commit tax fraud

[thick edge]

Hooray

[polar pine]

WE CAN DO TAX EVASION IN HOI4 NOW

[dense gale]

btw is the cities tile rework being further pushed back?

[thorny shell]

From the recent dev diary, it seems like these are the new states for Jordan and Palestine

I really hope they add my beloved city of Ashqelon (Al-Majdal) into the game 🙏🙏

[daring forge]

does not look like it to me

[crisp rivet]

What is on the suez?

[drifting star]

Will there be any mechanics focused on Hindu Muslim civil u rest (communal riots)

[daring forge]

also that southern jordanian state would be useless

[drifting star]

*unrest

[rocky oasis]

WIP Board of
Directors

[rocky oasis]

Directly controlled by UK

[daring forge]

no that's from the silk road empire thing

[drifting star]

We bouta exploit the workers

[daring forge]

it's india occupying the suez

the parts around it are UK

[crisp rivet]

Oh ok

[crisp rivet]

EIC?

[thorny shell]

Will probably be impossible

Impassible*

[rocky oasis]

Yes. We can do tax evasion now.

[daring forge]

there's no outlines for that there

[crisp rivet]

[daring forge]

doesn't look like there's a state at all to me tbh

[thorny shell]

Dunno about you but I can def see lines there

[cosmic falcon]

Looks like we will be getting more countries in this DLC.

[quiet verge]

They added Jordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon and still no Egypt 😭😭😭

[polar jasper]

99% of banana companies accept high taxes before the CIA installs a friendly government

[drifting star]

Mongol empire formable is gunna be cursed

[stable mica]

Me, when I see the Focus Tree for the East India Company

[hearty blade]

ngl they shouldve skipped palestine and done egypt alongsides with albania and they couldve done palestine during like a commonwealth rework or something

idk thats what i think would be a good idea

[fickle sedge]

There are no lines there

[hearty blade]

albania doesnt need a huge tree it could have like a iceland tree or something

[drifting star]

Me albania be careful

[hearty blade]

sorry albania

i love albania

[drifting star]

Albania happy thank you

[cyan venture]

Holy Shiet

[pseudo mulch]

Each country pack has a completely batshit insane path and I love it

[drifting star]

I fear the elephant will be too powerful

[cyan venture]

Image you will combine elephants with tanks

[daring forge]

they won't be getting trees now either way so not adding palestine would feel a bit odd, I feel like if egypt were to be added it would be with a tree since they're more actively involved in the war

[cyan venture]

And for your fear few nukes will take care of the Elephants

[hearty blade]

i feel like there wont be another chance to give egypt a tree

or some sort

so it feels like a now or never situation

[drifting star]

Emperor Adolf of Mughal empire ?

Who is defiantly not a certain mustache man

[daring forge]

arabia expansion? Saudi, Yemen, Oman and now Syria, Jordan etc

feel like that could be a possible country pack still

[hearty blade]

dont syria and jordan already get trees?

[brisk thistle]

I was told there was tax evasion

[hearty blade]

with the current update

[daring forge]

no

it's the four as advertised, they've said this

[hearty blade]

oh then fair enough egypt can get a tree whenever the arabia expansion drops

[daring forge]

the others have generic trees for now

[runic depot]

No. India, Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq get trees, there are no surprise focus trees

[hearty blade]

why this additude

[hearty blade]

unfortuante

[daring forge]

sorry, have had to say this to too many people alraeady

[drifting star]

Those trees will be awesome so I’m cool with it

[hearty blade]

if u cant say it in a nice and normal way

dont say it at all

[drifting star]

Bro imagine having to repeat the same thing 1000 times id be frustrated as well

[hearty blade]

ya but no one forcing her to sit here in and give answers if ur frustrated about repeating something just stop doing it

[daring forge]

but yeah, don't see arabia getting an expansion soon, but it's still on the table and egypt fits thematically better there

[hearty blade]

but whatever let sleeping dogs lie ig

[drifting star]

Ya I think what they are setting up for future content is making me excited

[hearty blade]

doubt they'll do 2 dlcs back to back with same region of the world

[daring forge]

this expansion is centred around india and iran with two smaller countries, that arabia got some shell content is nice but not the main focus

[hearty blade]

so id hope next one is japan and east asia generally

cuz japan has such a shit tree for a major power in ww2

[drifting star]

Maybe an oil and natural gas rework ?

[hearty blade]

doubt it

its just an expansion back

no new mechanics as far as im aware

[daring forge]

hasn't been their approach before at least, but you never know ig

[brisk thistle]

The real update we should be asking for is Bhutan

[pseudo wing]

welcome to about 30 percent of my job aha

[quiet verge]

Agreed about Egypt

[drifting star]

Like I do not really enjoy the current resource trade system. I think it could have some more interesting diplomatic mechanics ie limiting weapons produced or alts to civ factories

In exchange for steel or oil

[hearty blade]

tbh hoi4 is war simulator isnt trading sim so they dont pay much attention to diplo

[thick edge]

Instead of civs for trade

Sell provinces

Trust

[drifting star]

The US can restrict steel trade for use on bombers

[hearty blade]

true like eu4

sell ur capital to the enemy for 5 turkish lira

[thick edge]

Realll

[drifting star]

You say that like my capital is worth anything 💀

Guns for civ and lend lease is diplo is it not. They have improved it before they could do it again. I’d buy it and I imagine many people would as well

[hearty blade]

5 turkish lira is give or take like 15 cents

[hearty blade]

not really? thats trade

i dont do diplomacy with the supermarket when i trade my money for stuff they sell

[drifting star]

It is diplo if it comes from a weapons stockpile and theoretically approved by the state’s bureaucracy

[hearty blade]

yes but if u take it from that POV anything is diplomatic

[drifting star]

I mean if you interact with the state that’s diplomacy

What is diplomacy to you then

Give me an example so I can understand ur perspective

[hearty blade]

stuff like peace deals, peacing out before capping and turning those weird A-H rng events into something u can influence with diplomacy instead of random chance

thats what i see as diplomacy when it comes to hoi4

[drifting star]

Wouldn’t securing trade deals for valuable resources or specifying what they can’t do with what they import from you diplomacy

[hearty blade]

yes like the trade influence thing

thats diplomacy imo

[drifting star]

What are we disagreeing on then ?

[hearty blade]

maybe also like pressuring nations to embargo

[hearty blade]

u said buying something from an international market is diplomacy which i didnt agree with

[hearty blade]

like if u could pressure sweden to embargo germany if u have like good relations and other diplomatic things with them

[drifting star]

Oh, well I mean they do have to let you market access which we can agree is diplomatic right

[hearty blade]

and that'd help the war effort ig

yes i guess so but the act of buying something isnt diplomacy. the act of obtaining the right to buy it is

[humble chasm]

they need to remove france from the game, this post was made by the british

[drifting star]

Oh I see where we disconnected fair enough

[drifting star]

France existing is a scorn to every normal person

[hearty blade]

what a mature conversation. thank you Z the engineer

im glad we reached a peaceful compromise

[drifting star]

Np

[humble chasm]

whilst they’re on their crusade of making the empire and their respective countries, imagine a zimbabwe alt history path where rhodesia emerges in the 40s rather than the 60s

No, just shouldnt randomly ping devs

[wise oxide]

Mobius 1 is the ace of aces

automatic historical focuses when? for a historical challenge run

[cyan venture]

Where

[wise oxide]

im asking paradox

[cyan venture]

Oh xD

[wise oxide]

its a funny idea

[cyan venture]

Well is already exist if you turned on Historical AI.

[wise oxide]

but for the player

[cyan venture]

That how would even work? As player you can always follow the historical paths.

[wise oxide]

idk

[cyan venture]

XD

[runic depot]

you could use the human_ai command

[wise oxide]

what will that do

make me fully ai ?

[pseudo wing]

turn you into the terminator

and send you back in time to find john connor

[wise oxide]

confirmed?😱

[pseudo wing]

can't confirm it because if you find him, this timeline no longer exists....

[runic depot]

it turns the ai on for the country youre playing as

[wise oxide]

can i coop with ai😭

i did it once with a friend it was a mess

[drifting star]

Question does the true mongols focus give cores on Mongolia or just a war goal ?

@runic depot

[runic depot]

It givs you a war goal.

Also don't ping devs.

[drifting star]

Sorry won’t happen again

[runic depot]

No worries

[harsh hull]

Man do I love paths that let you sell out the nation to foreign powers

Can't wait for the Centroamerica DLC for that reason

Banana Republic sweep

[drifting star]

Uh oh they removed Palestine 🇵🇸

[wise oxide]

is egypt there tho?

[crisp rivet]

Oh….

[drifting star]

Will this new Palestine have access to Arabia formable

[wise oxide]

1 state palestine is so wrong

[wise oxide]

bc no 2 nation solution

[crisp rivet]

To be fair…the new nation is the mandate of Palestine

[drifting star]

True

Israel related events would go crazy

[uncut tide]

Angry😡

It's so sad.

[wise oxide]

where is my boy egypt 😭 ? nvm its silk road empire

[runic depot]

It's the exact same as its been for years we just made mandatory palestine a puppet from the start rather than direct british occupation.

[harsh hull]

The UK owns Suez in that screenshot

[uncut tide]

Won't even break down the parcels

[harsh hull]

It was a very touchy subject after WW2

[thick edge]

I should own the suez

[runic depot]

I believe that's a Silk Road Empire thing, its owned by the british at the start

[hearty blade]

no

ur a farmer

[harsh hull]

Independent Lebanon at game start though

Huge

[uncut tide]

It's possible that Egypt has the same colors as England.

[hearty blade]

silk road empire is such a silly thing im not a fan thats like saying great asian empire and having 1 country core all of asia

[wise oxide]

i figured that out but will egypt have events to be released just to be annexed and released again? like irl

[uncut tide]

It's like this.

[wise oxide]

it says united kingdom

[wise oxide]

bc its not egypt kingdom

[uncut tide]

😨😨

Possibly in a later dlc？🤔

That's weird

[wise oxide]

i bet the next major dlc will be pacific

[uncut tide]

If it's true, hopefully there will be a Pearl Harbor🤔

[wise oxide]

it could be a raid that sinks ships and damages buildings in hawaii

[uncut tide]

National policies in East Asia are too old.🤔

I hope to reset Japan's national policy

[drifting star]

Will they have access to Arabia formable still ?

[fresh cedar]

Silk Road empire is cool. Obviously the player would be occupying a lot more land, probably comparable to the Mongol Empire, rather than the direct routes. But also nice to have the direct cores so they aren’t fought over harshly in peace deals.

[white vault]
