latest-updates

[hollow coral]

France + balkans dlc

Japan + china region doc

Not in that order though idk

This is just the possibilied

For money making

[deep stag]

Just Tanna Tuva DLC for 69 dollar

[grave aspen]

Wheres my head

Operation head

[terse viper]

what do yall think about this

what do you think it's going to be updated and changed

or maybe added?

[grave aspen]

Ireland focus tree 🔥

[long ruin]

Nothing

[wise oxide]

i hope they give the new arab countries simple but fun trees bc rn they should not exist with the op generic tree they are boosting uk economy so much

[long ruin]

They refuse to fix the Turkish focus tree after years but you think they will seriously fix this

[wise oxide]

if paradox actually was fair they would make all old trees bettr

better with updates and not a dlc that gives a new tree for the same country but idk

i just want balance and quality of life and some realism thats more important than scizo trees for every nation ( in my humble opinion)

[fresh cedar]

To be fair war effort has fixed a few

[wise oxide]

pdx redemption ark

[fresh cedar]

Spanish Empire, Warlords

[wise oxide]

i respect them for doing something atleast bc some mods like road to 56 give us monthly free dlc and quality of life balance and bugfix and amazing focustrees pretty often

the modding community is so impressive

[wise oxide]

it was great but what did they do to spanish empire?

[fresh cedar]

Added a few focuses, reworked some advisors and spirits. And at the end of the tree it can core its former empire if occupied

Effectively can core that

So added a much better end goal

[wise oxide]

do they get claims on philippines

[fresh cedar]

I believe so

But no cores

[wise oxide]

still pretty cool

[fresh cedar]

So theoretically they can make similar additions to other countries

[wise oxide]

can you do it as carlist spain?

[fresh cedar]

Would be neat to have something similar for French Empire

[fresh cedar]

Nope

Carlist is more about non core and attack buffs

Think Carlist gets compliance bonuses anyways

[pseudo wing]

Carlist Ideals were also different

so they wouldn't get the same treatment

[fresh cedar]

Yup

[wise oxide]

30 mins for patch?

[pseudo wing]

though personally I'd like to see something similar, just not the same thing

[fresh cedar]

Many countries could benefit from similar flavor and touch ups

[pseudo wing]

give or take a few minutes I think, yeah, but dont hold me to it, steam do be wonky this week

[fresh cedar]

Would ask for Japan to get a similar face lift but I feel there’s something greater in store for it

[wise oxide]

they may get a dlc in half a year

my bets are on japan or usa dlc

[fresh cedar]

Would be winter yeah

I just want a greater end goal/imperialist reward for the USAA

[wise oxide]

november most likely

[fresh cedar]

Yes I can take everything but would be neat to maybe incorporate new states

[wise oxide]

usa is too easy rn

[fresh cedar]

Wouldn’t say easy, still need to know how to play to do well

[wise oxide]

i just kill japan on the first week to get 0 score

i just learned how to micro my starting navy

and i invade mexico c i can and hope that allies declare on me to get land as democratic usa

[fresh cedar]

Wish the game alerted you when you go over ship limits. Like if more than 4 carriers in strike group, warns, too many battleships, over 100 in a stack etc

I’m just supposed to remember the perfect ratios lol

[fresh cedar]

Top Strat

[wise oxide]

i wish you could move navy like land troops

[fresh cedar]

You kinda can wdym

[wise oxide]

to get bombardment and blockades easily

[pseudo wing]

yes, yes you are

[fresh cedar]

For shame Chak

[pseudo wing]

can't shame someone who is cringe

it wont work

[fresh cedar]

Like attach navies to units similar to rail arty or what

Bc you can tell navies to stay in a tile and bombard

[wise oxide]

just to move it easily

bc is it patrol where you can move them manually?

[fresh cedar]

If you select them you can tell them to go to any tile and they’ll sale to it

[fresh cedar]

Yeah

If not on a mission you can tell them to just sit anywhere

So you can place a death stack by an island you’re about to invade or block straits

[wise oxide]

dont they sit in the port then?

[fresh cedar]

Not necessarily

You can have them go to port or send them anywhere you have access

[wise oxide]

or just click the port hold/port/chill button

[fresh cedar]

It’s legit like infantry where you select and can tell them to walk somewhere

(If ships could walk)

[fresh cedar]

Not cwinge 🥹

[pseudo wing]

insert that bane quote about being raised in the darkness, but replace it with cringe

and you'd have me

[fresh cedar]

Actually never saw that movie

[pseudo wing]

it was ok, ain't much of a batman guy tbh

[fresh cedar]

Saw the joker one and the other one

[pseudo wing]

Heath Ledger was very very good though, RIP to him

[fresh cedar]

I’m more marvel but less into supers as of late

[fresh cedar]

Was INSANELY good

Don’t worry Chak, if they don’t make a greater Quebecoisiana formable I will

[pseudo wing]

You better, can't let the people down

(I'm people)

that name is just cursed though

[dusk mist]

"United Kingdom: Puppets breaking away from the UK when it goes fascist/communist should now function correctly" --> is this the uk civil war bug?

[north hamlet]

elephant nerf

[pseudo wing]

yes

[thick edge]

Paradox gave us head

[fossil torrent]

I’m guessing I can play my previous game save from yesterday with this patch?

[pseudo wing]

it should be save compatible

[wise oxide]

Added an event chain for Syria and Lebanon that allows them to side with Vichy/Free France or declare independence when Paris falls. this is just what i wanted on release

peak

[deep stag]

I just rebooted Steam and had a 224 MB patch

[digital pumice]

they finally nerfed elephants

[dusk mist]

yeeeeeeeeees, my gosh i am so happy

i reported that bug weeks ago after so much frustration with the game, was convinced it would never be seen and never resolved

I am so happy now

[feral lagoon]

Yoooo

[digital pumice]

paradox is actually doing something!

[feral lagoon]

I took a look at the patch notes and they look pretty neat

[fresh cedar]

Alright I’ll have to try it when I get home, was a good amount of fixes

[feral lagoon]

Same

[fresh cedar]

Really hoping war effort turns Arabia into a tiered formable

[feral lagoon]

One thing I didn't see though was regarding the Mughal's MIOs, are they meant to keep the British Indian Division MIOs?

[fresh cedar]

Who knows, maybe planned for a later patch/effort

I believe Arheo or someone had mentioned an MIO rework

[feral lagoon]

The mechanic? Or the ones assigned to the GoE countries?

[fresh cedar]

The mechanic I believe

[feral lagoon]

Oo, if you got a screenshot or link I'd like to see

[fresh cedar]

Yes, let me sort through the myriad of paradox responses. One sec lol

[feral lagoon]

Bet lmao

[silk jacinth]

Operation head is kinda crazy

[feral lagoon]

Man's out here being a whole ass spy agency with his contacts

[fresh cedar]

By Arheo

[dusk mist]

yeeeaaaaaaaah

[feral lagoon]

Neat! It's cool to see they considered it

[dusk mist]

MECHANICAL REWORK LETS GO

[feral lagoon]

ALSO, did you guys see on the updated roadmap, Operation Toe hidden in the fog of war

[fresh cedar]

It’s nice because I know paradox is super stressed rn with the release. So to have the community and them bridge the gap a little with the children’s song is nice

[feral lagoon]

I agree on where they're coming from with the idea of a wider rework

[feral lagoon]

Yess, and knowing what I know about games design and the industry, they deserve any sorta break they get haha

[deep stag]

I thought this was going to be patched today?

[feral lagoon]

It's possible it's reserved for one of.the later patches

[deep stag]

From the Paradox forums:

[fresh cedar]

It didn’t particularly specify what will be fixed

I imagine such things are coming. But if you want to bring attention to it I suggest the forums

Ah they did lol

[deep stag]

I know "should be" is not definitely but I was expecting a fix unless I am doing it wrong now.

[fresh cedar]

Well wonder if it got delayed?

[fresh cedar]

You got all of India as it?

[feral lagoon]

I think the patches are just a priority list maybe?

[fresh cedar]

That’s impressive, the thing came out like 20 mins ago

[deep stag]

What I tried was to start as British Raj but I cannot release Khalistan...you need to start with the country and it's not selectable when pre-game start

[fresh cedar]

Go communist and you can release everything

I don’t think historical/starter Raj can release anything

Sort of like how Spain and other countries can’t at the start

Think it’s intended that way

[pseudo wing]

I'll double check this, might not get an answer though myself, still will ask

[fresh cedar]

Feel like they don’t allow initial releases bc can cheese india a bit if you just do a ton of puppets

[deep stag]

Thanks @pseudo wing . If it still needs to be patched it's no problem of course, just want to know what should be the right way to obtain this achievement.

[deep stag]

Perhaps, the only fix I see now in the patch note is "India: The game rule to make India go down the historical path will no longer block achievements". I will see how far I can get

[fresh cedar]

Think you’d have to go pretty far in historical to release countries

Like around Ghandi as leader

Otherwise quickest in autonomy path

[harsh hull]

Aww nice, patch notes

Added an event chain for Syria and Lebanon that allows them to side with Vichy/Free France or declare independence when Paris falls

[fresh cedar]

Can someone test that event chain on historical lol

I’m not home

[floral anvil]

Can you link me to the Expansion Pass 2 pre-order? I know I’m going to purchase it anyway whatever it is

[wary juniper]

Don't wanna be that guy...

But how the f- does do you muck that one up?
or is it actually specifically designed that way to be bullet points into -

[harsh hull]

See, there you go, that's already something

[fresh cedar]

Argentina also had like 28% attack buff on release. It just be like that

While elephants are cracked, they’re stupid expensive

[wary juniper]

oh no no, im no talking about that- im talking about the oddly set ocd triggering patch notes

[fresh cedar]

Oh 😂

[quiet verge]

Ngl I think Jordan should've been given the conquer Hejaz focus instead of Iraq

[edgy walrus]

So they don't fixed the new countries not having a port...
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/syria-jordan-and-burma-cannot-access-the-sea-because-they-dont-have-any-port.1730473/

[pseudo wing]

https://pdxint.at/3cH6Y9D

[fresh cedar]

That’s wild

[harsh hull]

Looking in the files now, they added a new "GOE generic events" file for this

[thick edge]

I thought ur not allowed to disguise links…

[harsh hull]

Looks like they'll agree to join Vichy guaranteed if historical is on

[fresh cedar]

I just wanna see if it functions as intended on historical

[harsh hull]

And they also get a new cosmetic tag? Let's see...

[pseudo wing]

its with - and not bullet points because the bullet points are related to the thing above it

because I did it.

[harsh hull]

Oh, just the same as the starting cosmetic tag

Didn't fix Syria's name though, which is a shame

[pseudo wing]

because the numbers are related to the point above it, and not something new

bullet points are for new things

[fresh cedar]

Do the new puppets also get different leaders and country names depending on ideology? Or naw

[wary juniper]

my ocd from past patches is just triggered
;P

Atleast it was symmetrical back with either using -
or said bullet points

STOP CHANGING YOUR WAYS RAAAH

[pseudo wing]

the asymmetry bothered me too, but steam gonna do steam things, it doesnt like me no matter what I do, because I have to format everything in BB code

[fresh cedar]

Oh simpy, keep the OCD in your div template names

[feral lagoon]

Steam formatting wacky af, even for modding

[wary juniper]

[fresh cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/consent-gif-21798367

[pseudo wing]

indeed

[feral lagoon]

Why don't they simplify it :(

[wary juniper]

Same reason steam won't allow workshop co-authors upload perms for god knows what reason for the past 6 years, they don't care

[floral anvil]

Man I hope my government aren’t putting tariffs on video games from the United States 😩

[feral lagoon]

Me when big men are apathetic

[wary juniper]

PDX is swedish though.

[floral anvil]

But they sell it through steam which is in America

[fresh cedar]

😉

Chak is gonna love this

[floral anvil]

Next US focus tree rework needs to have a mechanic where you can tariff all your allies

[pseudo wing]

https://tenor.com/view/cruelmalibu-chucky-knife-stan-twitte-gif-24408045

Also

FDR should decline Britain Lend Lease if Churchill doesn’t wear a suit

[fresh cedar]

Too bad Churchill only wore suits 😂

[floral anvil]

There needs to be a decision for UK to put on a suit

[harsh hull]

India: Fixed a typo in the description of the Risk of Famine national spirit, where "loses" is misspelled as "looses"

I love they had to specifically mention this one, instead of just generically saying "minor typo fixes" or some such

[terse viper]

Can Mughals now whitepeace with the allies?

or still enters the war woth all allies?

[safe plover]

small indie company

bruh

Not even started the game and there are still bugs

[deep stag]

@pseudo wing I tried to fiddle around with the achievement and look at the achievements.txt file but I don't see a difference

[fresh cedar]

Isn’t the Mughal the path that leads to the Timurids?

[deep stag]

I posted this one last week pre-patch, double fascist still visible

[terse viper]

yes and no

but yes

[fresh cedar]

Like the princely path right, not fascist

[terse viper]

yes

[fresh cedar]

They already could WP the allies after like 240 days or something

[pseudo wing]

this is your answer

[fresh cedar]

You could check it in decisions

[safe plover]

[terse viper]

being al hind yes

but being mughals not

[fresh cedar]

I tried Mughals 3 times and every time I white peaced

[fresh cedar]

Wdym can you elaborate

[terse viper]

when you first break away you can wp

[fresh cedar]

Like the initial civil war or the subsequent war against India

[safe plover]

yeah no where tf is the bugfix????

[fresh cedar]

I don’t think you’re meant to WP them in the main war. As Lily said, it’s meant to be very hard

[terse viper]

but when you do this , the second uprising you enter war with all allies

[feral lagoon]

Chak my friend, do you know if they plan to revise the writing for some of the focus descriptions? I noticed there might have been some oversights in the East India Company descriptions for example, in like the Lobby Parliament focus and the Incorporation of the East India Company focus

[pseudo wing]

oversights in what way

[fresh cedar]

Chak do we know if the 0 infrastructure states are intended? Some states such as in Afghanistan have 0 which eats supply

[feral lagoon]

Give me oneee sec I just got home

[fresh cedar]

Sorry for all the questions today Chak

[safe plover]

[fresh cedar]

Yeah, I think it’s meant to be that way

[terse viper]

bruh its too hard

[pseudo wing]

I'm pretty sure those states having 0 infra is designed because they didn't have any

[fresh cedar]

That makes sense

[pseudo wing]

unless its reverting to 0, in which case i have no idea

[safe plover]

burma shouldnt have worse infra then god damn mongolia, u guys forgot to actually asign a level

[fresh cedar]

Isn’t reverting, just starting

Good to know

[fresh cedar]

Did Burma have good infrastructure irl?

[fresh cedar]

I think it’s meant for ahistorical worlds tbh

Ones where the allies either don’t exist or are nerfed

[safe plover]

u can only core southern afg for no reason

[feral lagoon]

Alright I'm back, I'll get screenshots for ya Chak

[safe plover]

it had a lot more ports then 0 and yes it cerainly had better infra then mongolian desert

a state with 2 million people should have more then 0 infra lol

[feral lagoon]

@pseudo wing

So you see here it says "We will use private investors lobby parliament that the only way forward...", this is one of the examples I wanted to point out; to me it doesn't really make much sense in the wording and feels like there's smth missing

[safe plover]

u still lose turkish military support with asmullah, which makes no sense at all

[harsh hull]

Just looking at the code, I think the Persian Empire formable still doesn't give you all your cores

They got the one formable at least though

[safe plover]

all hail el generico as well

this so called bug fix doesnt address like anything

[harsh hull]

Well, it's only operation Head

[safe plover]

delhi still only has 600k people

[harsh hull]

That looks like a job for operation shoulders at least

Maybe even knees

Not toes though

[safe plover]

wtf do you mean thats a job for before release

[feral lagoon]

You did read the dev post saying they acknowledged they messed up with this DLC right :l

[safe plover]

not checking simple stuff like this is just unacceptable nowadays

[safe plover]

well yes but simple stuff like this should have been fixed by now

literally all old formables in the region are broken rn

[fresh cedar]

Nah, they just walk

[feral lagoon]

Hindsight 20/20, I know; they've got a lot more than what you pointed out to fix though, and they WILL get to it eventually, just be patient bro

[safe plover]

My guy there are alr multiple patches made by single modders that address all these issues, its outright emberassing that their team took a week to only address a minor amount of the bugs

[feral lagoon]

And these modders have the free time and dedication to focus solely on this one topic of patching lmao, I'm not gonna defend GoE as even I know it's not what anybody wanted at the end of the day, but I'm pretty sure Paradox has a lot more to do than just patching the bugs out of one DLC

[safe plover]

Its their god damn jobs , high school students and whoever else mods dont have like 8h a day for their "work". And i hope you realize that pdx has a team that only focuses on hoi4.

[feral lagoon]

Yes, HOI4 is a game, GoE is a DLC

I don't see us reaching an agreement with our debate, so I'll settle on agreeing to disagree and leave it there because I'm too lazy to continue

[harsh hull]

Someone said something about it earlier, but the population of Delhi was between 550,000~700,000 by 1941-ish (census data is hard to find)

[fresh cedar]

I get your frustration but doesn’t really act constructively towards anything. Kinda just gets emotions out.

[harsh hull]

So the state containing it having a population of 600,000 is accurate enough

[fresh cedar]

Cyb, I may feel similar. But conveying these emotions in this way is a little much. Please reflect and ask yourself if this topic is worth that energy and if it helps the game, community or paradox

[harsh hull]

How DO you more reliably report bugs?

There are still about 6 million missing population in Burma, which does hurt Burma's ability to participate in the war effort

[fresh cedar]

Forums are the best way. Post it in a few areas for max exposure

I’ve had luck on the forum

[solid gyro]

GRAVEYARD OF GREEDY COMPANY PARADOX EMPIRES

[wise oxide]

fix the population! irl its a few thousand not this😭

[lofty creek]

🥳

[errant forge]

Heya, just saw this, and just to let you know, a fix was made for this but didn't make it into this patch 🙂 it will be in a future patch!

[harsh hull]

eyyy

Any word about the missing 6m population of Burma, content designer friendo?

[edgy walrus]

I hope the missing ports for Burma, Syria and Jordan will be also included. Please!

[errant forge]

Nothing that I know of I'm afraid, but I'm not all knowledgeable. If it is a bug, like said above, please report this on the forum, it makes it sooooo much easier if we get reports in the same place 🙏

[harsh hull]

Yeah, I'll get to it at some point

I'm very lazy when I need to make new accounts to something

More passwords to remember? Gross

[feral lagoon]

Could I ask a little bit abt using the forum actually? I gotta get set up on it as well

[errant forge]

Ask away, can't guarantee I'll know the answers but I'll try (I am not one of our forum and social media savvy overlords, I am but a humble designer)

[drifting star]

Can Iraq caliphate get cores on Iran and Afghanistan seeing as they are Muslim countries instead of Spain. Also attack bonuses

[feral lagoon]

Cool appreciate it bro

So the main thing I'm wondering abt is where I'd go on the forum to discuss bugs and such, because I wanted to ask about some of the focus descriptions as I feel they might be missing a few things (I.e. Lobby Parliament's focus desc on the EIC path)

[pseudo wing]

there's a dedicated section for bug reports, a dedicated suggestions area nd more

[feral lagoon]

Ahh cool I think I found it

[pseudo wing]

bug reports -> https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-bug-reports.951/

Suggestions -> https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/hearts-of-iron-iv-suggestions.953/

[feral lagoon]

Would discussing the focus descriptions go in suggestions then?

[drifting star]

Im gunna go wild

[pseudo wing]

for your previous comment, I'd say bug report, since it seems like the text file is incorrect

(the one you tagged me in)

[feral lagoon]

bet, let me go get that one done

Appreciate the help y'all, I don't use forums very often

[errant forge]

Look! we summoned a mighty person with more knowledge on the forums than me 😄 thanks Chak! but yes, bug reports for bug reports (stuff not working or working in strange ways), suggestions more like "wouldn't it be cool if?"

[polar jasper]

Every time I use the forums to report a bug, it is a duplicate

Because I couldn't find the original

[harsh hull]

Yeah, that's the other thing just looking at the forums

It's a hot mess

[feral lagoon]

Would the summary go something like "GoE Focus Descriptions Feel Unfinished/Incorrect?" I ain't the best at wording

[harsh hull]

I don't want to use it, because it doesn't feel like I'd actually accomplish anything other than add to a constant stream of unhelpful bug reports

[drifting star]

Anyone else notice Nehru is whiter than hitler

[polar jasper]

May I introduce you to steam discussions

[errant forge]

Yeah, the bugs section is expansive, and, sometimes the same bug might cause different issues. So though the symptom you are seeing might be different, it might still be the same root problem if that makes sense 😅

[harsh hull]

Eh, I'll pass on the forums and hope it all works out

If not, I'll just mod the game to suit me

[polar jasper]

No, I just failed to see the literal same bug. Though mine was technically 2 bugs in one as India can be set to 3 fascist paths that look identical

But hey, might be intended

Via gamerules

I just lumped it all under India gamerules broken

But prioritized the historical India can't allow achievements

Thx for the fix btw

[errant forge]

the Reichskommissariats? Yeah, sorry it didn't get in this time, but we are working hard to get as many good fixes out there for you!

[feral lagoon]

Alright, I went and made a post about the focus descriptions in the forum now! Hopefully I formatted everything right and gave the relevant info :D

[fresh cedar]

You guys actually listened about the wooden stock for the Belgian Fn Fal, was nice

[polar jasper]

No, India has 3 fascist paths for gamerules.

There, increased pixel count

Literally same description

[feral lagoon]

Go go gadget pixel increaser!

[polar jasper]

Why have 1 fascist path when you can have 3 with the same description!

[errant forge]

We do listen most of the time, it isn't guaranteed we can always act on it, but we do listen 🙂

[errant forge]

This was reported right?

[polar jasper]

Yes, just labeled duplicate because I prioritized historical India not having achievements

[thick edge]

You know, I’m feeling a little special today, let’s try facism

[polar jasper]

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/custom-game-rules-for-india-has-both-dlc-and-vanilla-options-with-goe-historical-not-allowing-achievements.1730718/

That’s 100% a virus

[feral lagoon]

Is this bout to be a new shitpost or smth

[polar jasper]

Idk, I saw it and thought it would be funny to screenshot

[thick edge]

Saving that

[fresh cedar]

I appreciate his honesty

The guy he was replying to was legit tweaking

[polar jasper]

Yeah, bro was making stuff up with 0 evidence

[errant forge]

Okay so I am weak and clicked the link to check 😅 I think this is just what I explained earlier, you see the symptom which is three fascist strategies appearing, but the bug exists under a different name to us (in this case we have a bug open regarding legacy ai strategy plans which covers this). So it looks like we're just saying "duplicate" without there being a duplicate, but there is and we are aware 😄

Thanks for coming to my TED talk! Dunno if that made sense at all, but rest assured, we have eyes on the bug 🐛

[terse viper]

Best AI Livonia i've ever seen

Tried communist India yesterday and the one advisor who gives weekly stability didn’t appear. May be a bug, should I post or is it on the radar?

[feral lagoon]

Made sense to me at least

I'm grateful that y'all on the team are around and actively chatting to us here too!

[errant forge]

Onto the forums, report it, it might be known, it might not, we'll know later 😅

[fresh cedar]

Will do thanks!

[errant forge]

It's generally fun to chat with you folks when we have time 🙂

[feral lagoon]

Yeah man, and it's something I personally appreciate because it helps me to understand what's happening on your end too; Paradox be feeling like less of a stranger now

[stable tusk]

This is gonna be the new Shyy hoi topic gif

[drifting star]

Can we get a silk roads empire secret event ?

Like if you take the required states just get prompt to either become the empire or respect Chinese interests

[stable tusk]

I still want a mod where every country except the Chinese ones can form the Silk Road EMpire

[quick sleet]

So which countries are playable now after the patch

no, vanilla

is there a reason why mughal empire can't peace out with the allies during the 2nd Mughal-Raj war?

[past gull]

Ye if ur playing Mughal empire, i suggest playing non historical

[hallow torrent]

is that intentional? I glanced over the forums and found nothing:/

2nd Mughal raj is for uniting the subcontinent right?

yes, after the first uprising

[past gull]

Ofc as u attacked the raj right?

yes, i assumed it would include a white peace option with the allies as at most you would own a part of north india

[past gull]

Ah it’s intentional

There is no white peace in the second one

N u r end up in a till the death war

That’s the worst part in the Mughal empire path

[hallow torrent]

Wow that sucks, I guess that path is for more seasoned players but like idk why you’re expected as north india to capitulate all of the allies, especially with the british ai rework

[past gull]

So u better play on non historical

Like if uk goes monarchist or communist

They won’t join the first uprising war

And u can annex the whole raj

U can get media Mughal achievement easier that way

[hallow torrent]

Yeah all my recent games have been non-historical because of the ai rework, i find it a lot easier to actually invade them on non-historical, the ai seems a lot less aggressive against naval invasion

[hallow torrent]

i saw someone saying it was bugged but who knows

[past gull]

Nah I just got it days ago

Apparently u need to be Mughal empire, which requires u to own the whole raj

Not the sultanate

Anyways I want to share a strat for the achievement of puppeting the uk and having Churchill as its leader as India

[hallow torrent]

I was wondering on how to do that

[past gull]

So basically u go mad ghandi route

And like be free before the ww2

[hallow torrent]

is nuclear ghandi just researching nukes?

[past gull]

Then u guarantee Philippines

[past gull]

No there is a secret path

Well u don’t need that path specifically

But it makes things easier as the buffs it gives

[past gull]

And u go spam out 100 1 width divisions and convert them to a template which is full of infantry to fill up the man power requirements

N save 200 political power after independence

Then when Japan declares on the Philippines u can join war and join the Chinese united front

Immediately take over the Chinese faction and invite USA

U then justify a war goal on France and Portugal for retaking cores

Declare on Portugal and they should join the Japanese faction

Naval invading Japan should be easy as u have USA to help u

Then in the peace conference u puppet Portugal as a landing ground and take the Japanese navy

Then just naval invade uk from the war goal of France

[hallow torrent]

this is actually a super solid strat, i was just gonna go non-historical india and cross my fingers but this sounds super good

[past gull]

But make sure to turn off the trials of allegiance dlc

As CHILE CAN RUIN UR GAME BY PROACTIVE DEFENCE AND U END UP IN WAR WITH AXIS

[hallow torrent]

i have 91% achievements and these new ones had me scratching my head for coming up with strats to be honest, these new trees didn’t seem strong enough to get the achievements

[hallow torrent]

every game that i’ve had ruined by a south American country has been Chile

[past gull]

Ye that sucks

I think u need at least 1 M manpower on field and 50-60 factories to take over Chinese united front

N it’s hard to avoid famine from burma

As Siam will join and attack it

[hallow torrent]

i think the only hard part would be the factories for india but with some good timing with focuses it seems super possible

[hallow torrent]

the new patch made to where burma wouldn’t cause the famine

[past gull]

U can start by building civs in high infrastructure areas

And the end of the tree of the democratic gives. Quite the industry

[past gull]

Wait what

Motherfuc

I just did this yesterday

[hallow torrent]

they kept the one where you can’t lose a core state without regaining it in 30 days

[past gull]

O

[hallow torrent]

fortunately i haven’t dealt with the famine

[past gull]

U can refer to videos of getting mad ghandi for quick independence and the secret path

[hallow torrent]

You were right non-historical was the move

[past gull]

Ye

[fresh cedar]

Is India supposed to change colors if it forms the Timurids/Mughals?

Because it didn’t for me

Also, if you impact agrarian prior to the civil war, India’s just shows up as blank so they effectively have no debuff

[hollow coral]

Bugyard of empires💔

[visual spade]

It is really a shame to see all this veneration for iran in the “graveyard of empires” dlc. If we looked at actual history we will see that iran got annexed in 6 days in ww2,1941.

[thick edge]

We can bring back the Tsar and make USA go communist

We aren’t historically accurate

It’s a video game

[visual spade]

Thats not my point bruh

If you wanna make a hollywood dlc then better to do that for all countries

[thick edge]

They are doing that

Everything is dlc

[visual spade]

Til i see that

[polar jasper]

Annexed? Weren't they just puppeted with a lot of land occupied?

[quick sleet]

At least In historical be historical not un

[quick sleet]

Wait 1 month

[fresh cedar]

Oh I’m sure it’ll be fixed, just want to bring attention to it since it was in the last patch

[vagrant hemlock]

Morning

[quick sleet]

Maybe maybe next week

[dusk mist]

they need to fix subs

they are just so stupid

[dusk mist]

yes i was so happy

i reported that bug twice :)

[quick sleet]

Finally got all iraq achievements

[visual spade]

Anglo-soviet invasion, google it

It was an operation to secure oil fields supply to ussr

Iran showed what seemed to be “great cooperation” (at least from uk view) to the germans

Thats why they invaded iran and annexed in just 6 days

[thick edge]

They sure did blitzkreig Iran

[visual spade]

Yeah

They threw Reza Pahlavi out and placed his son on the throne

[drifting star]

A country that big loosing after 6 days is crazy

6 day war before 6 day war

[harsh hull]

Iran was not completely annexed, no

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Iran_oil_concession.png

[drifting star]

There is no oil in Tabriz is there ?

[polar jasper]

I knew they invaded, I just didn't think they were full annexed

Oh, I was right

[limber carbon]

kinda? I mean, they were more just occupied until the war ended, and the soviets (nor the british cuz oil) didn't really wanna withdraw

honestly the Soviets got the terrible part of the deal

so even if they secured northern iran it would've been an Afghanistan situation probably

[finite tangle]

did they fix the iran path yet

memphis initative

[hollow coral]

They did after ww2 im pretty sure the british im talking about

[drifting star]

They fixed it and broke it now all middle eastern states can be cored but not Cairo and northern Afghanistan

[finite tangle]

bro i just became a puppet after uk decolonized

wtf

[hollow coral]

Interesting how you can get a democratic bangladeshi leader to lead the mughal empire

[wicked topaz]

Haha 😭

[wicked topaz]

Hoi4 is honestly pretty bad at that kind of stuff tbh

[full ermine]

There is

not in the game for some reason

[hollow lion]

isnt there only a refinery there?

Ive not looked too in depth but it seems like to this day the north doesnt have (m)any fields in use

Cuz the Iranians were gonna cede northern oil rights to the USSR but it just seems like thatd be pointless

[hollow lion]

Afaik they didnt have oil rights beause Iran didnt ratify that agreement

The puppet states also probably existed to potentially be merged with the Azerbijan SSR

[full ermine]

this

Soviet Union tried to bank on the rising Azerbaijani and Kurdish resistance movements against Pahlavi regime and gain additional foothold in the region.

Iran Crisis of 1945-1946 was also one of the first crises of the Cold War

[limber carbon]

Ye

[harsh hull]

Man, 6 days till the next patch

Sucks

I want more patch notes

[quick sleet]

Is Persian empire playable rn?

[thick edge]

Another sale?

Damn

[fresh cedar]

Not sure, tried the communist path yesterday and it was mostly playable. Got very laggy late game but that’s because the whole world was at war

[quick sleet]

How was the experience

[fresh cedar]

Sorry, meant I actually went the Islamic path, forming the Islamic state. I got Afghanistan in my faction, Annexed Yemen and UK handed over their Middleastern possessions. But then Iraq went to war with me which was in the Allies so I died

Was fun until it wasn’t

[quick sleet]

I feel they need to make that Iraq cauld get the power to make resistance in arab colonial countries and then get them it's imposed to form arabia you can't fight axis ally together you don't have large army

[fresh cedar]

Yeah they get like 24-48 divisions max unless you core a lot

[quick sleet]

Ohhhhh so you formed axis of resistance

[fresh cedar]

And the Allie’s always send like 1-2 million to fight you

[fresh cedar]

Nope, Islamic Brotherhood

I was like the Islamic State of Iran or something

Islamic republic of Iran?

[quick sleet]

Quality of 4 line art with rocket support

[fresh cedar]

I forget

[quick sleet]

I think

[fresh cedar]

Yeah have to focus quality

[quick sleet]

You democratic when you do islamic iran?

[fresh cedar]

So far, I liked the Arab federation path the most as Iraq

[fresh cedar]

I think it’s non aligned

[quick sleet]

Oh

[fresh cedar]

Goes to Democratic then becomes non aligned

[quick sleet]

Firstly go hasemite arab federation and them golden square

[fresh cedar]

You get +15% attack and defense buffs though which is very strong

[quick sleet]

And you do the democratic branch

[fresh cedar]

Similar to Carlist Spain

[quick sleet]

The Iraqi military tree is peak

[fresh cedar]

Yeah goes from Pahlavi or whatever his name is, to a democracy, then to a non aligned Islamic dictatorship

[fresh cedar]

I meant as Islamic Iran

[quick sleet]

You get influence in middle east there

[fresh cedar]

Mhm

You can demand territory, and invade the middleast

[quick sleet]

Ohh

[fresh cedar]

It’s a pretty strong tree

[quick sleet]

I didn't try it

But the Iraqi also has nice buffa

S

[fresh cedar]

It’s intended to be you spreading Islam throughout the middleast. So you kinda stand alone, but the 15% attack and defense buffs are very strong

I prefer Iraq tbh

[quick sleet]

Sounds cool

[fresh cedar]

The location is just better

[fresh cedar]

I’d give it a try. It’s like a hybrid of dictatorship and democracy.

[quick sleet]

That's good

[quick sleet]

The Iraq mountain artillery buff

Cause this you need to invest strong artillery division

[fresh cedar]

Tbh, it would be an amazing tree if it had a formable or the ability to core the middleast. BUT, it does get compliance growth buffs

[quick sleet]

For sure

[fresh cedar]

You get like 0.02 compliance daily. Which doesn’t sound like a lot, but that’s basically double the compliance growth speed

So while you don’t core, can get high compliance easily

[quick sleet]

Good too

[fresh cedar]

Plus Iran has like 13.5 mil people so it’s not too bad manpower wise

[fresh cedar]

Iraq lowkey has the best military buffs imo

[quick sleet]

Better than most European minor

[fresh cedar]

Exactly

[quick sleet]

And better resources

Potential

[fresh cedar]

Mhm, only thing middleast lacks is steel

[quick sleet]

Definitely

[quick sleet]

Yss

[fresh cedar]

Can get steel if you secure North Africa though.

[quick sleet]

But oil and trugen

[fresh cedar]

Mhm

Did you know there’s a path where you go Allies and can invade territory as Iran?

[quick sleet]

No

[fresh cedar]

I want to try that

[quick sleet]

How

[fresh cedar]

You join allies and basically can get Middleastern lands for free

It’s between the communist and fascist paths

It even cores the lands you get

[quick sleet]

You can do it as islamic iraq?

Iran

I remember something like that

[fresh cedar]

It’s Iran, if you go democracy instead of Islamic

At the end of the tree, you can start making demands

[quick sleet]

Islamic open you tree for itself?

[fresh cedar]

I think you core like Iraq and another area?

[fresh cedar]

It’s near it.

[quick sleet]

Wait i open the game

[fresh cedar]

Like go Islamic and be alone, or go democracy and go allies

[quick sleet]

You can demand as the islamic?

[fresh cedar]

As Islamic, you can demand the British and French occupied territories in the middleast

In my game England actually said yes

As Democratic, I think you invade them and the allies let you take it

You’ll have to look

[quick sleet]

Ohh got it

The left is the islamic

[fresh cedar]

Yeah and the right is democratic allies

[quick sleet]

Looks good

Middle eastern influence mainly

[safe plover]

That rlly doesnt do anything sadly. I really thought this would give u a secret path or smth

[quick sleet]

Still it's something

[kindred beacon]

This description isn't accurate, Iranian Azerbaijan had never been controlled by an Azeri nation-state at game start

In fact unless you include the brief attempt by the Soviets to establish a puppet state there, it never has. The Republic of Azerbaijan was created in 1918 from the ethnic Azeri Turkish regions in the former Russian Empire, not Iran

[safe plover]

Nope u are wrong , persia definitely owned parts of azerbaijan. They just lost it to russia in the russo persian war.

And in fact the region of azerbaijan (of persia or other empires) used to have some small states right below modern azerbaijan in iran

[slow elm]

How are the reichskommisariats still broken?

has this bug been reported?

[thick edge]

Yes

[drifting star]

Beautiful

[kindred beacon]

Yeah but the descrption says those regions were ruled by Azeri Turks

"Iran encompasses some territory that once used to belong to the Azerbaijani people"

Besides the fact that Turkish speakers in Iran are called "Azeris" not "Azerbajiani" (which is a citizen of their northern neighbor) it's just a historical falsehood, there was no Azeri nation state before 1918

Even the name Azeri wasn't used north of the Aras river before then, Iranian Turks called themselves Azeris, their northern co-ethnics called themselves Tatars or Moslems

[safe plover]

yes, multiple times even before the patch . And pdx has seen it, but ig since they are crazy lazy they havent fixed it

[dapper lotus]

is teh azad hind path civil war even possible without major cheese?

[dusk mist]

i think the implication is "they were there first" rather than "they had a nation state"

[kindred beacon]

They weren't even there first

They were Persians who adopted the Turkish language after the Oghuz Turks moved west into Northern Iran and Anatolia

Turks weren't the indigenous people, the original inhabitants were Caucasian Albanians - not related to the other Albanians, we just don't know their real name - and Iranic peoples

[harsh hull]

They mentioned there were a number of bugs that are already fixed internally that didn't make it into the last patch

The Kommissariat cores were one of them

[cobalt imp]

Does anyone know why I have no 3D units I only see the name plates and the 3D units setting is on

[dusk mist]

suggestion to make line artillery more useful: add tactics which require having a certain amount of artillery in the divisions in order to have a chance of being selected

[polar jasper]

Nerf infantry soft attack, buff artillery defense and breakthrough would probably make it more useful

[dusk mist]

I disagree

The problem isn't that they are underpowered compared to infantry

[polar jasper]

Well, the tactic thing is good too

[dusk mist]

It's that they're underpowered compared to tanks

[polar jasper]

Well, the problem is inf is too good by itself

[dusk mist]

Etc

But I agree with the defence etc

[polar jasper]

Why have 2 arty when 3 inf provides better stats overall for the same combat width usage

[dusk mist]

Well sure

But also why have two arty when you can get the same and better stats with 3 tanks for the same cost

[polar jasper]

Well, tanks are pricier, right?

[dusk mist]

Not if you just want to get soft attack and nothing else

[polar jasper]

It is like a poor man's breakthrough battalion?

[dusk mist]

You can make em cheaper than arty

But having soft attack

Basically arty is really inefficient

[polar jasper]

So tactics really would be good then

More attacker damage, less defender damage

[dusk mist]

Yeah I'm sure they can think of something creative

A few different ones maybe based on irl artillery tactics

Kinda like they have with the tank ones

[polar jasper]

What category would "battlefield suppression" fall under

Breakthrough?

[dusk mist]

Could be

[polar jasper]

Can't attack if you are constantly getting shelled

[dusk mist]

Maybe reduce damage on both sides substantially, reduce movement for enemy

Sounds kinda similar to delay though

So maybe not

[polar jasper]

I don't know tactics well

I know there are some new urban ones

Artillery on cities would probably give + attacker damage but also + defender damage because the rubble can be fortified

[dusk mist]

Maybe even cause collateral damage to buildings

[polar jasper]

If artillery could destroy factories in states, that would be wacky

[dusk mist]

I mean combat does already destroy stuff, wouldn't be too hard to make an arty tactic destroy a bit more

[polar jasper]

Super heavy arty already damages forts and such I believe

[dusk mist]

It does

[polar jasper]

So maybe increase super heavy and add a little to regular

[dusk mist]

I meant a specific tactic for arty and only in cities

Not like a every combat sort of thing

[polar jasper]

Ah, I see

[dusk mist]

Also specifically on the offense

Bombard it into submission

[fresh cedar]

Hashemite Iraq is actually pretty fun. Can get something like 80-85 mil core manpower. Lowkey wish it got the other cores Al Andalus gets to the east but had a fun game

[quick sleet]

You need to fight axis&ally

[fresh cedar]

I just aligned with one and was still able to get 50 mil. Then I just betrayed them later

[quick sleet]

This has a lot of potential i know don't like the Arab federation that unplayable currently i know that the calida focus brings a lot of cores

Califa

This is a better version of the Arab federation

[past gull]

iranian achievements are hard

any tips

[rocky oasis]

Wait for April when the content gets changed to make some things (presumably) easier.

[past gull]

Just don’t get why they don’t add a navy for Iran

And India

[dusk mist]

"add a navy"?

[past gull]

Wdym

They don’t start with a navy in goe

[dusk mist]

Because they didn't start with one in real life lol

[past gull]

Wait really

Then nvm

[dusky bay]

irans focus trees depend entirely on you conquering iraq but you cant because they are permanently guaranteed by the UK which you cant beat because you are too weak because you cant invade iraq!

[hard smelt]

hmm i did nnot have that problem iran is pretty strong

[buoyant remnant]

They had like 4 gunboats and a single patrol vessel

[dusk mist]

None of which are big enough to count as a ship in hoi4

Destroyer is smallest you get

And that's like 10000 tons on the lower end

[buoyant remnant]

Yes

[dusk mist]

Just checked, their biggest ones were like 1000 tons

So way too small

Interestingly sunk by another similarly sized ship of the Australian navy

[drifting star]

If Canada is ever updated we need a technocrat path

They were actually crazy but they will seem more reasonable than any of the current HOI4 paths

[dusk mist]

Suggestion: you should be able to outsource warship construction to other countries (maybe for civilian factories, like with the international market?)

IRL many countries did this, especially smaller ones which did not have the capability to build ships themselves

[tacit sequoia]

usa canadian rework 🤔

[native echo]

I'm sure this has been put out there, but everything that says "Afghan" should be German (and "Germany Support Arrives" should just be German Support Arrives)

[river mulch]

make st pierre a french core

[hollow coral]

should just make a whole dlc for st pierre and miquelon

[rigid schooner]

And a basque one

[hollow lion]

better to report on the forums

[hollow coral]

They should compress the british raj focus tree bruh

Real reason no one uses navy

Goddam navy tree on the other side of the tree

Also they barely have an industry tree

But ig political tree got some

[stable mica]

Hey, I'm having a problem with the Turkish AI. Whenever I set it to the Ottoman Empire, the AI ​​ignores it and seemingly picks something randomly. I've checked all my mods and haven't found anything. Could it be the GoE DLC?

[thick edge]

its not GOE

the AI is just AI

and messes it up

[unreal geyser]

when is hearts of iron finally gonna add more possibilities to force surrender on the allies. Like why in God's name would the US be the sole country fighting the axis after the UK has capitulated

Or why would the UK fight Iran when it has fully taken egypt and the entire middle east

Jesus lord

[unreal geyser]

maybe demanding immediate surrender is a little too much, so maybe make it so that Iran needs to hold all the tiles for 6 months in a row, forcing british surrender where iran keeps all middle eastern territories or something

or just rework the peace deals in general

[dusk mist]

Similarly, why would Britain give up its homeland and empire to Iran because Iran took egypt

I agree white peaces should be more of a thing, and should not have to rely on scripted events

But surrender is way too much for that

[unreal geyser]

it make sense for britain to give up when it is in a world war with germany and italy when iran hold all their Indian and middle eastern allies for 6 months

[dusk mist]

No, it doesn't. Especially if it's in a world war. But what really doesn't make sense is for them to capitulate when you haven't even landed in the British isles

Irl they fought for 6 years btw, not 6 months

[unreal geyser]

if iran isn't in the axis it kind of does, maybe they can make it so that a certain amount of british casualties by iran needs to be met

or make iran have to hold the land for 12 months even

[dusk mist]

To white peace, sure. To capitulate them? Ridiculous

[unreal geyser]

with basically all their colonies standing

apart from parts of egypt

[dusk mist]

They lost like all of east Asia

And of course all their European allies

[unreal geyser]

im refering to the western and african ones

[dusk mist]

they came very close to losing Egypt. I guarantee you they wouldn't have capitulated because of that. That is ridiculous

[unreal geyser]

also, japan was diplomatically more aligned with germany then the Iran i'm talking about now (non axis, only at war with britain and no real connections with the axis, including japan)

[dusk mist]

THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT A CAPITULATION

[unreal geyser]

once again, in this scenario i talked about losing ALL of india, iraq, palestine and parts of egypt up to the suez

[dusk mist]

Do you know what a capitulation is

[dusk mist]

So what

[unreal geyser]

india was literally the most precious colony

[unreal geyser]

im refering to ending a war, thats different to capitalution

[dusk mist]

They almost lost India to Japan, and plans for independence were in progress since 1920s

[dusk mist]

You said "surrender"

That is very different

To a white peace

[unreal geyser]

you know what i was refering to obviously

[feral lagoon]

Y'all are playing different games with this debate lmao

[dusk mist]

White peace i agree, as i said MULTIPLE TIMES

[unreal geyser]

well i think i clarified it now

[unreal geyser]

oke good

then were arguing about nothing really

[dusk mist]

Like did you not even read what I wrote

I wrote like 3 times that i agreed with white peace

But not capitulation or surrender

[unreal geyser]

what do you specifcally mean by white peace

[dusk mist]

War ends, with everyone keeping what they have at that point, or maybe to an agreed compromise (like if you control most of Egypt you get that, if they control most of Libya they get that), idk. Finland has one with USSR for example

Capitulation you get a peace deal and can take their cores

[feral lagoon]

I'm fairly certain a white peace is meant to be where the borders go back to pre-war and nothing changes?

[unreal geyser]

ok i agree

were on the same page

[unreal geyser]

yeah

thats what i thought too

thats why i asked him what he meant specifcally

[feral lagoon]

Yeah, so white peace ain't the correct term, it's more like a conditional surrender or smth then, or just a scripted peace deal if we're talking gameplay

[unreal geyser]

hence i said surrender

surrender isnt necesarrily capitulation

[dusk mist]

It isn't always, for example there is one in the India path where you can get extra land

[dusk mist]

Um it kinda is

[feral lagoon]

There's not much differentiation when it comes to HOI4 so you would've been better off elaborating

[dusk mist]

It isn't like an armistice

We're thinking like armistice

As opposed to surrender

Which would be peace deal

[unreal geyser]

sure

[dusk mist]

You literally have "surrender progress" in hoi4

[feral lagoon]

Yeah the Mughal Path you get the scripted peace deal, but deadass I did a google and white peace is just a peace deal that returns to the pre-war situation

[unreal geyser]

well you know what i mean

[feral lagoon]

Armistice is like a truce put in place while a permanent peace deal is discussed methinks

[unreal geyser]

either way

paradox

fix how peacedeals and such work

[feral lagoon]

Not fix but revise yes

[unreal geyser]

also stop bordergore peacedeals

[dusk mist]

Kk

[fresh cedar]

They tried to, but it sorta failed. Wish AI didn’t super fight over specific states too. It’s annoying when ther’ll be like 1,000 war score and 10 back and forth a over a single state

And the state will be like some remote and Garbo place

[thin panther]

b

[feral lagoon]

Reading this makes me wonder if they'll possibly add like a state priority to the AI in peace deals in the future?

[fresh cedar]

They already kinda do with war goals

[feral lagoon]

In theory yes, but considering the AI fights you for a "remote and garbo place" I don't think it works in practice yanno?

[hollow coral]

Peace deals let you annex the whole goddamn country

Which isnt realistic

[tired acorn]

It also sucks that you cant annex a state you are occupying if you have 0-1% war participation. Like yes i have low war participation BUT my armies are there, therefore i should have a say in it

[rocky oasis]

The realistic thing is to wage several wars annexing more of that country each time until it is fully annexed. /j

Shouldve made belgian luxembourg province

[fresh cedar]

When we as the community become an unpaid QA team

[fresh cedar]

They do look at many. Though it’s another thing if they get worked on or not

[fresh cedar]

DLC after it basically competed with the system they set up. While it wasn’t perfect, peace deals did seem cleaner. But since, many countries have had their priorities changed to match newer DLC’s. As a result, the system that was in place has become muddled and basically back to where it was

[rocky oasis]

April is when the most substantial change will be.

[fresh cedar]

That would be nice

I am 100% confident I couldn’t buy it then lol

[stable tusk]

Nope, illegal, burned at the stake
Btw the reason they do platypuses is because the Paradox logo is a platypus skeleton

[pseudo wing]

I'd say try again, but the only reason I could think that it'd not be working is that their website went down or something

because to my knowledge it has never said that within a campaign time

[thick edge]

I will try again when I get home

[digital pumice]

aint no way paradox is still trying to sell us things after the recent events

[torn copper]

Dear paradox, I am once again begging you to do updates to the focus trees of commonwealth nations, as well as Romania and Yugoslavia. Especially fixing the IK-3 focus which is by far one of the worst debuffs to any nation's air trees I have ever seen.

[obtuse ingot]

Announce Half of all proceeds go to XYZ Charity.
🤷

(File idea away for later… Democracy Duck)

[fresh cedar]

Why that bird?

[fresh cedar]

Pretty sure it was on sale prior to the DLC

[unreal geyser]

i see

really hope this fix it lol

[fresh cedar]

They should just atleast really set it in stone for historical. Ahistorical is whatever, but I’d like historical to be accurate

Which the Yalta conference sorta does

[polar jasper]

What about President Platypus

[dusk mist]

Critical hits in navy are so dumb

You can have a cruiser with 5 batteries, which gives you a much higher chance of one of them being hit (fair enough) - but when one is knocked out, it reduces your attack by half! So you lose 2.5 turrets!

On the other hand, a cruiser with a single battery will only lose 0.5 turrets from the same critical hit, and have a much lower chance of getting it

Admittedly this does incentivise building more varied ships, but it makes no sense whatsoever (the crit is just a battery is knocked out).

The crit should remove the portion of the attack contributed by the turret and no more or less.

[polar jasper]

A module based system would be cool

Theoretically having more batteries should mean a higher chance of getting a magazine detonation as more of the ship is allocated for ammunition storage

[dusk mist]

It is already based on modules, kinda. the modules determine what critical hits and what chance.

[dusk mist]

Yeah true

[polar jasper]

Well, like a module is disabled

You got hit, congrats, you lost number 1 and 3 batteries

[dusk mist]

yeah rather than a debuff to the ship's overall stats

[polar jasper]

You now lose that much soft attack

Or whatever attack

[dusk mist]

atm it's you lose 50% light attack for hit to main battery (regardless of how many you have) and 25% from the secondaries (regardless of how many you have or how much light attack they contribute)

[polar jasper]

Engine damaged, you are now slower

[dusk mist]

ok that one does exist i think

[polar jasper]

Yeah. But what I am saying is that modules themselves are damaged

That might make battles heavily laggy due to all the calculations actually

[dusk mist]

yeah here you go

[dusk mist]

well i don't see how that changes anything in this case

[polar jasper]

You have 5 batteries

[dusk mist]

there is only one engine module anyway

[polar jasper]

You get shot

[dusk mist]

yes but i mean for the engines

[polar jasper]

2 batteries disabled

[dusk mist]

batteries i agree totally

[polar jasper]

Oh the engine? It effects repair cost or something

[dusk mist]

engines i feel like it's fine

[polar jasper]

Probably already does

[dusk mist]

crits don't affect repair cost but you probably have taken quite some damage if you have a crit

[polar jasper]

Fire control gets damaged, minus hit chance

[dusk mist]

yeah so true

[polar jasper]

Radar gets disabled, ship cannot contribute to spotting

Sonar disabled, minus sub detection

[dusk mist]

this dude has so many great ideas

[polar jasper]

Make it based on modules and it would be neat

[dusk mist]

yeah

for sure

AND NERF SUBS

[polar jasper]

You can choose what ships need priority when repairing

So if you need to contest, you can pick the guy who has no sonar in a bad situation to head out

[dusk mist]

WHY CAN A SUB WITH 10 TORPEDOES SINK 200 SCREENS AND CAPITALS IN A SINGLE BATTLE

[dusk mist]

you can already

[polar jasper]

Well, you don't pick the guy who is at 1% strength or has heavy fires

But more choice in dealing with bad situations

[dusk mist]

naval rework could come with japan dlc 🔥

set up perfectly for usa & uk rework

[polar jasper]

Naval rework with US DLC

Wait a minute...

[dusk mist]

japan probably coming first i would say

[polar jasper]

Man the Guns 2: Naval Boogaloo

[dusk mist]

YEAH

i love navy but it's so buggy

[polar jasper]

The original naval rework came with the US tree

Got rid of the Pearl Harbor gambit focus

[dusk mist]

and UK no?

[polar jasper]

And UK

And Netherlands and Mexico

Good DLC overall

[dusk mist]

yeah

[polar jasper]

People just hate the navy

[dusk mist]

i love it but WHY SO BUGGY

GO OUT TO JOIN THE BATTLE WHEN I PUT YOU ON STRIKE FORCE

ENGAGE WHEN ON THE SAME TILE

[polar jasper]

Meanwhile the M3 Lee being a meta* tank

[polar jasper]

Tiles are many miles across

[dusk mist]

yes but in theory fleets engage when on the same tile

[polar jasper]

Poor communication means they show up in the wrong spot

[dusk mist]

also fleets can engage from miles away

[dusk mist]

i'm saying the game says they engage on the same tile

but sometimes they just don't

[polar jasper]

I know. But I say it is larp for bad communication

[dusk mist]

right

but like i have a battle going on and my fleet will just sit in the same tile as the battle waiting for like a week until the battle ends

WHY DON'T THEY JUST JOIN

[polar jasper]

Yeah, that is dumb

[dusk mist]

IT WORKS FOR THE YOUTUBERS

[polar jasper]

I've had that happen before

[dusk mist]

it happens like 1/2 the time for me

[polar jasper]

Well they do patrols and enter the battle

[dusk mist]

not an ongoing battle

can't join that with patrols it seems

[polar jasper]

They send them to a battle, have them only do patrol in that sea zone, and then they enter the battle

[dusk mist]

nope

i have done that

does not work

[polar jasper]

Oof

[dusk mist]

and i have seen youtubers do it they do not do that, they just put on hold and move into the tile

i'm sure some do

but not the ones i saw

[polar jasper]

Always engage, do not retreat

[dusk mist]

yeah always

i have everything on those settings just to get someone in the battle

[rocky oasis]

Advisors are characters. There is a thread on the forums about advisors for Afghanistan. In the thread about the roadmap they responded to a comment about the advisor thread saying. They had seen it. Would not surprise me if a few more generals were added to Afghanistan too. So, when I say the characters are getting looked at, I mean advisors and hopefully generals.

[forest musk]

@polar jasper hallow

[fresh cedar]

Ah just like additional ones, makes sense

[fresh cedar]

The Indian Fascist path kinda sucks. Like you inevitably just go to the war with the allies and get crushed. Sometimes I don’t want to fight the allies and just want a normal civil war. Plus the UK always drags you into some war before you can even spark the civil war 🙂

Basically can’t even go the Fascist path because it just gets crushed instantly. Is this as intended? Trial of Allegiance was actually fun to play countries and different ideologies. I feel like I get punished in GOE for doing the same :/

[polar jasper]

Hi

[rocky oasis]

Changes to content is in April.

[drifting star]

Based ?

[hollow coral]

Well tbf trial of allegiance is fun because you can actually expand without needing to fight a colonial major

And even the most powerful countries can be taken down easy early game

[signal cargo]

Agreed

[unreal geyser]

why is there no focus or decision to annex the indian puppets when you go for mughal path???

bruh

[safe plover]

Nope

[fresh cedar]

Oman and Iraq used to be free to invade, yet they changed that. It’s like they made the region even harder to expand into. Should atleast be able to demand UK/French territories in most trees.

Every other country pack had much more room for expansion

[full ermine]

how do you get custom role?

[rocky oasis]

Do you think that this will be part of the changes?

[full ermine]

seriously, how do you get a custom role?

[rocky oasis]

Go to the Channels and Roles channel

[full ermine]

thank you!

[fresh cedar]

Change what? Oman and Iraq being tied to the allies?

Or demanding imperial territories

[rocky oasis]

Making expansion easier, yeah.

[fresh cedar]

Hopefully. Having to fight the Allies or Comintern really sucks.

[hollow coral]

True

[drifting star]

They should make the guarantee like the Monroe doctrine for American countries

[thorn oasis]

yoooo border gore is back with the new dlc 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

[polar jasper]

Now that is art

This is what Turks picture the Treaty of Sevres was like probably

[hollow coral]

Isnt that already in the game

[stable tusk]

Already exists

[drifting star]

How so?

[hollow coral]

its a national spirit for all the countries in the americas

it used to be a guarentee

now its an event

[drifting star]

I was referring to the Anglo Iraq treaty

[hollow coral]

Ahhh should have specified i thought you were talking about a seperate thing

[deep stag]

I figure the patch today will be released same time as last week?
