[fresh cedar]

I consider them generic as in they share trees that other nations have, aka aren’t unique

Though if these get GDR treatment, they’ll be insanely fun

[brittle venture]

Look at the WTT patch tho

It was massive

[fresh cedar]

And tbh as China is rather the majority of my game involve China

[fresh cedar]

I played it on release I don’t need to know how big it was at the time. Though in retrospect they’re incredibly similar and shallow

[brittle venture]

Because the game has shifted towards a focus tree based gameplay

Which imo, isnt great

They show their age particularly fast, especially compared to game mechanics

And are often more of a one time fun

[fresh cedar]

I prefer it as you get to choose what you country specializes in or makes countries have a personality. Whereas before they were just an anonymous actor who felt very similar no matter which nation you played

[brittle venture]

They still feel similar to me, just unfairly buffed

[fresh cedar]

How are they similar?

Like how is Germany comparable to Russia or Italy

[brittle venture]

The gameplay ends up being similar, do your political decisions, pick the path with best buffs, make terrain advantageous units yk

Thats majors

I dont mind extensive trees for majors, those are good

Just for minors i think its ehhh

[fresh cedar]

Idk I still think the minors are more unique than they were

Most commie trees feel the same ig

[thick edge]

Yeah

[harsh hull]

We all want the Mongol Empire restoration path, it's true

But it's only funny if Mengukuo gets that path

[hearty blade]

idk man i want feudal japan

[harsh hull]

Mongolia is just Mongolia, it can have your standard Democratic-Fascist-Communist selection

But Japanese-puppet Mongolia should get the funny stuff

[hollow coral]

Doesnt make any sense but ok

I doubt they would do memey paths in this dlc

[harsh hull]

A Mongol Empire restoration path itself doesn't make sense

But silly is make more ideal for gameplay

[hollow coral]

I dont think there was any fascist nor any nationalist movements in that timeperod

But there was movements for a greater mongolia

Especially supported by the bogd khan

Which could turn into a mongol empire

Fuedal japan is just stupid though

Why would the whole country just decide to deindustrialise

[harsh hull]

The people

They yearn for the fields

Reject modernity, return to nature-- wait, what do you mean, "Tanks in Tokyo?"

[wind peak]

Usa rework

[hollow coral]

when man the guns gets integrated then expect it

otherwise dont expect it rn

[prisma orchid]

I want japan to get a better tree. Also, something to make sunrise invasion achievement easier(i don't want to backpatch to cheese it). I'm actively trying to get this achievement and could use some help if anyone has suggestions.

[hollow coral]

well do i have news for you

[prisma orchid]

Hm?

[hollow coral]

the previous dev corner

[prisma orchid]

ohh okay

Debating if i want to go for sunrise invasion pre-dlc then

[fresh cedar]

Probably should tbh

[hearty blade]

japan starts with cruiser subs so u can spam those out and cuz theyre cruisers u can place range on them.

that gives u enough range to go from japan to USA in 1 naval invasion and u just land early and beat them up

should be fine

[prisma orchid]

I took all the islands and damaged the hell out of the US Navy. Had to re-load several times(i just copy paste the save file to my desktop to re-try bypassing the autosave issue) And i have managed to capitulate mexico in 1942 for most of the reloads. HOWEVER, i am now abusing stormtroopers and managed to cap mexico in june 1941 this time. Trying to take the panama canal, and holding off the USA in mexico and california

Any suggestions for actually killing off the US navy, or beating back the ground troops?

[hearty blade]

japan is strong enough to make a fleet but if u feel like ur too unfamiliar with navy id just recommend building VERY good subs.

as u convoy raid them u will continue to kill off 1-2 of their ships and trade a few subs for a few heavy ships and after a while you'll just out IC them

since it takes u half the time to produce 1 sub

• u weaken them a lot by just convoy raiding

[prisma orchid]

I have a strong fleet, but it is mostly deterring enemy ships, rather than outright destroying them.

I was wondering what function i should use. currently using convoy escort for the most part, keeps my supremacy high

[hearty blade]

im def not the best at navy

But what i do is i have 1 spotting and 1 fighting navy

I use general rules of thumb when it comes capital - screen ratios

most of my ratios are roach destroyers as cheap as they come

my capitals are just heavy ships and a few ACs (TORA TORA TORA)

my spotters are light cruisers with max spotting gear and i like to research the special project that gives u radars

i just island hop try to see what seatile their navy is at build radar there and patrol and try to engage

if u build a semi competent fleet u should absolutely destory them

TLDR; strike force

u got this tho dw about it have fun and learn the mechanics

[silent prism]

On the big nations, like US, UK, Japan, Italy I usually make:

5-6 spotting navies, basically 1 spotting cruiser and 3 destroyers just in case to wipe out subs

1 x Escort Navy per big traid route ( so, if I import, say, 200 rubber, that route is defended )

1 main fleet to beat faces ( I actually invest really heavy on them. Torpedo destroyers, Light gun destroyers, light cruisers, AA ships, ACs, Heavy Ships )

1 bait fleet of old ships

My games are very methodical and pre-planned ( with emergency planning as well )

I am that sort of player who keeps 200 fighters per air strategic region, just so I can defend against bombers

I am that sort of player who has garrison on the smallest island, but I can leave it if I know that enemy has a large force to invade it

I am that sort of player who builds a lot of different planes, just to be able to do everything

My economy is distributed, so that losing a state won't mean I am losing 30% of my mils

I build multi layered defenses, with rank groups to counter breakthroughs. I am that sort of player who looks closely to each railway we place

So in the future wars I can funnel enemy into positions I want them to take

I am that person who mines his waters, I am that person who like bot divides his divisions in 30+ armies ( I almost always play with a more generals mod )

But

Having said it all

I love your approach
@hearty blade

[hearty blade]

Thank you i keep it simple and effective.

[hollow coral]

Bunch off afghanistan changes

Im interested in the traditionalist path

Sounds interesting

[safe plover]

new afghanistan paths damn

[brittle venture]

Try the quami too

Its better tbh

[safe plover]

i mean u can get + 75 cav attack just from national spirits lmao

[brittle venture]

Yeah and btw

Ireegulars spawn fully equipped with the most up to date equipment

Which means theyre only worse if youre in either the 50s or whatever or own half the world

Which means theyre only worse if youre in either the 50s or whatever or own half the world

For recruitable pop its better too cuz it lets you steal pakistan with short wars you can peace out of

Which is where all the people are

[safe plover]

and u can do the traditionalist path and then still go communist

[brittle venture]

Mid civil war you can do demo focus

[safe plover]

peak schizo communist timurid empire

[brittle venture]

And then youll stay communist

But also get those buffs

[wise oxide]

disapointingly small patch

this game needs fixing not more content too btw

[wet anvil]

The faction rework looks fire

[rocky escarp]

damn https://youtu.be/4HpincIJbZw?t=1m42s https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/war-effort-patch-1-16-9.1775772/

[civic vine]

its definitely stronger stat wise, but i'm gonna be real i'd rather have more manpower out than only like 150k manpower usable. I like Quami don't get me wrong but you just don't get manpower

[brittle venture]

go mass mob

1 div train before civil war

and again

you can take all of pakistan with it

and just peace out

[civic vine]

it takes insanely long to get mass mob even with 1 div training. not to mention you can't even 1 div train you have a division that can't be deleted

[brittle venture]

thats like 30mil+ core pop

[brittle venture]

yes so you use that division

[civic vine]

yeah but it's gonna get you a fraction of the normal exp you'd get from 1div training with a horse brick. plus it's really not that good since the pashtuwali debuff negates 20% of that army exp

I will be surprised if you even get 100 army exp before you get the civil war off

[brittle venture]

it depends, i like getting all buffs

so i get all buffs

ive played them a few times

absolutely and undoubtedly prefer quami

you rush gun 3 and itll spawn with gun 3

which is massive with bad eco

also their hp let them take less losses

and during borders wars you disband and raise again at next

so you spawn manpower for free kinda

[safe plover]

@brittle venture

[brittle venture]

nice

did you grab the demo buffs?

[civic vine]

kinda? does it actually just spawn free manpower or is there a catch? also does it spawn equipment too or is it going to pull from your existing stockpile

[brittle venture]

it spawns the units full strenght

[civic vine]

because if it does just spawn and fully equip your divisions then yeah I can see why it would be better

[brittle venture]

no stockpiles of manpower or guns needed

24 free divs

[civic vine]

damn that's crazy. alright yeah that's actually busted as shit

[brittle venture]

it falls off after you have a real country

but yk

[civic vine]

I mean still either way you use that initially for the early game strength. you'll get plenty of manpower doing mass mob and after you take pakistan.

[safe plover]

nah

[brittle venture]

fair

it takes a lot of time

unnecessarily

[brittle venture]

yeah

i mean thats just my opinion

[civic vine]

nah honestly if that's how it works then yeah obviously you go for the earlier impact. even if it doesn't scale as well your country also doesnt really scale as well into the late game so like. go for the early game strength lmao

afghan industry is abysmal the entire game

[brittle venture]

ik

i used it while playing elite afghanistan

xd

[civic vine]

gotta admit though, the new paths are pretty neat. definitely better IMO than the previous facist path I don't think i'll ever touch that half of the focus tree

[brittle venture]

mhm

wayy better

ill try some runs later

[civic vine]

been reading the focuses in my free time haven't actually played yet but it's nice to see this abysmal country get some love and care

[brittle venture]

i rlly like challenging nations because they make you think a bit

[safe plover]

peak pdx moment

[civic vine]

let me know how it goes I don't get home for another like 3 hours if you play a run

[brittle venture]

prob not rn

not in the mood to video game

[civic vine]

ah fair enough. i'll probably play it before you then at that rate haha I like afghan but it just doesn't feel good atm. hopefully this changes it

liking the fact that facism seems viable now. communist path was the only viable path in the past

[brittle venture]

ofc it sucks :p

tho nufus makes it so much worse

needs eco a lot more

[civic vine]

they did add some more factory focuses from what I've seen

[brittle venture]

ew

gross

[brittle venture]

did you like going quami? or still prefer nufus?

curious

[safe plover]

nufus is better tbh

especially in mp

[civic vine]

imma be real if you're picking afghan in multiplayer you better have a buddy on one of the majors helping otherwise expect to have zero impact

[safe plover]

oh in rp thats never a problem, thats where u would ever even play afghanistan

[civic vine]

fair enough

[hearty blade]

i think quami might be better since the mughal path fixes ur manpower issues

u get to core Iran and one of the focuses brings u from the 1.5% recruitment to the 2.5% one and u get a buncha other tiny things that give u manpower like the daily 100 sikhs etc

[drifting star]

What’s the new traditionalist path

[drifting star]

Afghanistan is so peak wtf

[tall dragon]

Ethiopia (Feat. Italy)

[drifting star]

Afghanistan can now core the whole Islamic world !!!!!

This larp not my political opinion

[safe plover]

Manpower isnt the issue, cav and irregulars just become ass the later on, i like to make mountaineers anyways

[brittle venture]

yeah its for early buff ;>

goated gun MIO tho

can produce more guns than anyone else

[fresh cedar]

The new Afghanistan paths are actually pretty fun. Was never gonna play Afghanistan again but the 3 new ones make it worth it. Their Timurid path probably better than indias

[fresh cedar]

Apart from Umayyad Spain and Sicily, but it can do a lot. Feels sorta unique though since it can do Indonesia

[fresh cedar]

Quami better for Mughal but probably not Emir or 2nd Afghanistan empire route

[brittle venture]

imo they look broken and therefore boring

[fresh cedar]

Well Afghanistan starts in a pretty tough place and is definitely an uphill battle so I don’t mind if they become OP because it’s hard getting there

Similar to Chile

[brittle venture]

No i want hard country

More fun

[fresh cedar]

That’s what I said, it genuinely is hard until late game 😂

It’s industry is terrible, and is surrounded by much stronger nations

But if you manage to beat them you can become very strong

[brittle venture]

It rlly isnt tho if you get a gazillion buffs late game smh

Besides

Just rush down the foci you want

[fresh cedar]

What buffs do you believe set them apart from others and make them much more OP where it isn’t playable?

Bc I’d say it becomes comparable to other majors at max

[fresh cedar]

Right, but this is with a baby industry and manpower pool

Could argue the same for Iceland, or even Germany

[brittle venture]

You core all of the timurids now

All of india 😭

[fresh cedar]

Wouldn’t say fighting the allies, Soviets or even Iran is super easy

[brittle venture]

Bro iceland gets like

+30% div attack

As fascist

And no other good buffs

No planning factor, org, recruitable pop

[fresh cedar]

Will say their elephants are too tuned

[brittle venture]

+75% cav attack on quami btw

[fresh cedar]

If you go militia path, you can get like a +55% Calvary attack just

Yeah

[brittle venture]

Can be combined with elephants

Like it is genuinely OP

[fresh cedar]

I know I just learned that today. That needs a nerf bad

Only thing that somewhat offsets it is like it’s 2.5% recruitable

Which is pretty bad till you get India

[brittle venture]

not rlly

You get factor

Also when you do a border war thing

You steal a state right

[fresh cedar]

Sometimes

RNG based

[brittle venture]

But like not only do you have a goated MIO

[brittle venture]

No

[fresh cedar]

In my playthrough they told me to just eat one

[brittle venture]

You war then white peave

On quami

[fresh cedar]

So I had to conquer them

[brittle venture]

Even if they reject

[fresh cedar]

The WP didn’t work for me ig

Might be bugged

[brittle venture]

Youre looking at the wrong thing

[fresh cedar]

?

[brittle venture]

this focus lets you

[fresh cedar]

Yeah that’s why I did

[brittle venture]

yeah and once you occupy a state you can peace out

[fresh cedar]

It just led to war and even when occupied didn’t work

Wait though did you do the Emir path

[brittle venture]

gotta occupy the correct state

[fresh cedar]

I did 😂

[brittle venture]

ive done it as communist before update

[fresh cedar]

So there’s a new Islamic Emir path

I think it may be able to core anything it has a claim on. So technically could core the world

[brittle venture]

You cant get a claim on any state

[fresh cedar]

Think it legit might count war goal claims

[brittle venture]

Man this peru game is gonna be hard cuz i wanna do rockets

[brittle venture]

Those dont give on map claims

[fresh cedar]

No like the new emir path may

Bc you justify based on states

[brittle venture]

Yes but war goals dont do that

They make the states cheaper in peacedeal

But dont add an actual claim

Because game design

[fresh cedar]

Yeah, I’m trying to figure out if the emir path does that

Bc the wording is a little vague

All I know it is let’s you core the entire Islamic world including some parts of sub Saharan Africa and Indonesia

I personally like big end goals like that. But needs nerf to some stats

Their core potential is fine. But the buffs, my god

[brittle venture]

Idk

I like either creating my own path to fight and stuff or not being buffed into the stratosphere

Doesnt feel rewarding

[fresh cedar]

I think if the buffs were dialed back in line with other countries, it would feel fine. Works for Chile atleast

[brittle venture]

Ive never played chile nor do i want to

[fresh cedar]

You don’t like the TOA nations?

[brittle venture]

I do

Argentina is fun

Brazil was alright

Paraguay wasnt bad

Uruguay is chill

Just chile specifically no

[fresh cedar]

I like Communist Brazil the most, Fascist Argentina and Paraguay/Uruguay in general

Chile seems a little out there with the native/mapuche paths tbh. But found them fun

[brittle venture]

I saw my mil advisor getting deleted when i wanted to play mapuche

And got sad

And depressed

[fresh cedar]

Hate when that happens

[brittle venture]

Oh also only camo expert guy gone

Like you have 1 good general

They get rid of him

[fresh cedar]

Tbh Mapuche is kinda rough bc manpower isn’t great

[fresh cedar]

Kinda makes sense ig bc Native American

[brittle venture]

Idc about the lore

If im gonna fight the world i need a camo expert guy

[fresh cedar]

Can core all of the Americas for like 300 mil core so idk

It’s kinda hard to do it tho

[fresh cedar]

Peru is so underrated

[brittle venture]

Peru is awesome

I just wanna do a rocket arty game

So no tech

[fresh cedar]

Really like the Peru-Bolivia formable

Would like more formables of that scope

Atleast as early game formables

[brittle venture]

you hate to see it

[fresh cedar]

Ecuador war can be tough

[brittle venture]

Nah

[fresh cedar]

But yeah hard to do rockets as them

[brittle venture]

I justify manually day 1 i can

No spawn ins then

[fresh cedar]

I just hate it bc often they’ve joined allies

[brittle venture]

Its on core justification anyway

[fresh cedar]

Really can’t wait for the faction rework

[brittle venture]

I lost exactly 0 people to this war

I forgot

To set the ai to join as soon as they can

😔

Whatever easier formable

Bro my level 1 general didnt even get 1% progress from ecuador

[fresh cedar]

You going for gran Colombia?

Imagine it had like a “New Spain” formable too

[brittle venture]

Both

Just i want the pretty red

So o Império Bolivariano first

[wind peak]

USA facist to form the confederate exist ?

[leaden tapir]

Finland has joined Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere

[hollow coral]

for a while yes

Which pretty silly imo

[potent peak]

Mexico has joined the Nordic alliance

[fresh cedar]

The Soviet Union has joined allies

[thick edge]

I hate when that happens

The Russian communist civil war

The one near the north west

It always happens

[potent peak]

And never ends

Idk if it’s worse if it spawns in archangel or Central Asia

[fresh cedar]

Exactly, Soviets shouldn’t join allies, commonwealth or free states or Europe by any means

Yet they always do

[pseudo wing]

We now have access to the Server Tags that Discord allows for, if people want to check it out

[polar jasper]

Neat, now people will question if I am a political extremist or not when I type in a server now lol

[brittle venture]

I didnt want a tag but was forced to :( everyone will judge me now

[proud basin]

is afghanistan playable yet?

[brittle venture]

Its always been playable

But yes it has a lot of statbloat now and is very easily winnable

[proud basin]

I never actually played it gonna be honest just heard it was terrible, playing my first game now

[thick edge]

My username is now a blend of pink and white?

What is this sorcery

[past anvil]

I hate when sfr yugo joins japanese communist faction

[wooden wyvern]

Gradient roles

[fresh cedar]

How you do dis

[fresh cedar]

Factions should fix nations from around the world joining Japan

In my game Japan took over the Little Entente

[fresh cedar]

It had the most limited end goals before. But now the ahistorical route has 3 very strong paths (that will get nerfed) so is play em now for achievements

[pseudo wing]

All community server at tier 3 of boosts (i think?) and partnered servers get a guild tag as apart of their server boost rewards, its quite nice

it also allows for regular roles to have cool colour variances

[cold gale]

i thought today was the 18th 💀

[pseudo wing]

maybe it is

and we lost the day to Thanos' snap

[cold gale]

NOOOOOOO

[pseudo wing]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-marvel-gif-24087980

[cold gale]

true

[drifting star]

How do I take Iran as Afghanistan

[hollow coral]

use mountaineers to punch through then spam with infantry

[hearty blade]

Icl to u chief Afghanistan lacks all equipment lacks manpower lacks supply and lacks industry

It cant do any of that

[brittle venture]

It has an industry

[hearty blade]

Barely

It has a 50%- output national spirit

[brittle venture]

Thats also fine

Its the cap that does it

[hearty blade]

And also efficiency cap and growth

[brittle venture]

The cap kinda sucks

Ive played it before

[hearty blade]

50% output is huge wym man

[brittle venture]

Before it got mega buffed last patch

Nah output is like bloated

Thats like 3 conc techs

Not the worst

[hearty blade]

I disagree but im going to stop talking before i get mad and call u mean things

Im very passionate about the afghan tree

[brittle venture]

You can call me mean things

Thats fine

But its not that bad

[hearty blade]

Ur so…

Silly

[brittle venture]

I prefer afghanistan over ethiopia when it comes to like

Eco

Because at least you dont have -70% research speed or whatever

Your research is fine, therefore your nation is fine

If you cant make any equipment just spawn it in

[hearty blade]

True true

And u can get third research slot relatively quickly

[brittle venture]

Youre literally fine

If playing on elite just go quami

Spawns equipment

Disable it

Disband the units

Free gun 3s

One man's exploit is another man's life savings or whatever

[hearty blade]

Amen

[hearty blade]

Stop making me blush

[brittle venture]

prettiest ame in the hoi4 community

[pure schooner]

[hearty blade]

chemist kinda becoming my new goat yk that man always fixing stuff

gg man ur like bob the builder

[lapis dragon]

BTW it's in off topic channels

[deep apex]

there's a dev corner coming today right?

[digital pumice]

naval rework we are so back

[fading walrus]

Naval enjoyers rise up

[dapper fjord]

ayy... (lookin at Japan Hinomaru flag)

[quasi harbor]

Yes yes thousand times Yes

Naval Rework is the most sought after thing i wanted

[brittle venture]

Im scared they wont change in battle stats/fleet overstacking

Admirals should probably have a more serious command limit

[thick edge]

Big sun beam

As a support company for ships

Trust

[smoky atlas]

ah yes : "here's how to address how navy is difficult : make EVERYTHING more complex and difficult to manage"

[quasi harbor]

Navy is too simple and complicated at the same time. On one hand theres so many tiny things to have to click on or think about. And on the other you can just ignore them all, doomstack ships and win every fight

[thick edge]

Noob

[digital pumice]

this is absolutely peak for map painting enjoyers

you can see the countries colors on sea zones they "control"

[smoky atlas]

5000 hours here, i don't like that

[digital pumice]

well they are also reworking naval invasions

so no more spamming 1 div invasions

instead of 1 big one

[brittle venture]

No more 100 invasion cap brasil at d day

[digital pumice]

yes, and thats pretty big in itself

[thick edge]

Makes sense

[digital pumice]

lets just hope they do something about deathstacking

[thick edge]

I hate it too

But it makes sense

[digital pumice]

yeah

tbh i agree with it

but again i can see it being pretty annoying

[thick edge]

I can no longer store 2k naval bombers on every pacific island

[quasi harbor]

Doomstacking should have a ginourmous modifier to prevent said fleet from engaging in a battle

[thick edge]

(The American fleet will exist now)

[digital pumice]

well another reason to use carriers

[brisk patrol]

any guesses on the tease at the end

[digital pumice]

mhm, like land overstacking penalties

[quasi harbor]

Real-life the larger the fleet the easier it was to spot and maintain supply lines, and the easier it was for smaller fleets to just ignore them

[thick edge]

Big sun beam as a special project (joke)

[digital pumice]

supplying a huge fleet would be a logistical nightmare

[brisk patrol]

like sun gun..? 💀

[civic vine]

thank god looks like spamming 1 div naval invasions will no longer be a thing

[quasi harbor]

But in hoi4 thats not a problem cuz a fleet can go from Hawai to Japan and still enter an ongoing naval battle

[civic vine]

honestly hated that that was the most optimal way to get off an invasion

[brisk patrol]

"After being questioned by American officers, the Germans claimed that the sun gun could be completed within 50 or 100 years"

yeah you know what my hoi4 games have been too short actually

i have time

[deep apex]

I wonder whats hidden behind that logo

[rotund cargo]

Yes, I wonder what that could be 👀

[deep apex]

electricity/energy confirmed???

[digital pumice]

👀

[brisk patrol]

imagine if some universe they survived and genuinely made it, and then they couldnt rotate it in time and it just burns germany off the map lmao

[brisk patrol]

ive been wanting food/ rations for so long

i pray

[deep apex]

same; electricy or food would be dope

[digital pumice]

basically a death star

[brittle venture]

Electricity would make sense because civ reactors already produce it

Although it doesnt do anything rn

[deep apex]

True that, finally a use for them and dams

[dapper fjord]

i hope for "all the worlds fighting ship" icons especially all type Carriers, BB, BC, all type Cruisers, DD, and Submarines..

[brittle venture]

Civ reactors are great lategame anyway

Assuming no world conquest

More resources is awesome

[digital pumice]

so i'm guessing the naval supremacy system will pretty much be removed?

[deep apex]

Fingers crossed i guess, maybe with that New Fuel dev corner

[brittle venture]

Nah

Overhauled

[digital pumice]

yeah, but from what i understand it will be replaced by the newer dominance system

[brittle venture]

This update will be biggg

Opposite of gdr fr

[spark plinth]

i got 2 guesses

shore bombardment
or naval emplacements

[brisk patrol]

and civilian populations actually mattering

[spark plinth]

toaster economy...being useful??? /s

[deep apex]

actually yeah, that could make sense too

but pls not that

[spark plinth]

i mean...naval emplacements wouldnt be bad,its just like AA but for water

and we already have shore bombardment but its just...kinda bad-

[brisk patrol]

population rework during second sino japanese war makes sense too

[digital pumice]

they probably wont be doing anything involving populations

[brisk patrol]

well... during all wars in ww2...

[digital pumice]

considering the playerbase

[deep apex]

NSB levels

[spark plinth]

"Japan,wheres the population of nanjing"

[thick edge]

Fire emoji

[brisk patrol]

true

[digital pumice]

it will basically turn into a warcrime simulator

[brittle venture]

NSB but for the seas :p

[thick edge]

Gone

[brittle venture]

Hmm

I kinda expect them to make mtg free after this update tbh

[spark plinth]

cursed fact

We know how much water is in a human cause of ww2

[brisk patrol]

mod Victoria ethnic populations into hoi4...

[spark plinth]

ah

So yugoslav wars anyone?

[brisk patrol]

there's no one left...

[spark plinth]

also

yall are focusing on the sun

support

merchant marines???

[thick edge]

(Shhh)

[brisk patrol]

I wish nz got good content in hoi4

atleast give us a puppet government controlled by japanese 😔

[digital pumice]

well at least they didnt forget to add the actual island

[spark plinth]

you DARE insult the bob semple???

[pure schooner]

Oh hey amine

What do u think about the
Possible naval update

[deep apex]

Whats good my friend

I was bad at navy but im looking forward to naval invasions

and psosibly being less bad

Naval dominance ftw

makes much more sense

[pure schooner]

It’s something people have been asking for

They probably will have to integrate mtg?

For the update

[spark plinth]

*Cries in subs losing dominance*

[pure schooner]

Then release a new mtg 2.0 lol

[deep apex]

probably not rn, but maybe??

[deep apex]

HAH

damn them sub spam

[fresh cedar]

I like that capital ships, specifically battleships and super heavy’s will have more weight now

[deep apex]

and roach cruisers

[pure schooner]

Hey wait ur friends with noice7308?

[spark plinth]

*throws midget subs at you*

[pure schooner]

Well they currently do have a lot of weight

[deep apex]

me? lemme check

[pure schooner]

They have multis for their hulls

[pure schooner]

Mutual friends

[deep apex]

I see now! i dont remember the context but yeah

[pure schooner]

Oh coincidentally

He plays roblox games with me lol

[deep apex]

Damn, the worlds a small place

[pure schooner]

Yeah i wasnt expecting that

Hes a completely separate part of my game sphere lol

[brittle venture]

unpopular opinion its quite fun for braindead allied minor

[novel panther]

Sablin? Is that you?

[dark sail]

japan have new flag and we get navy update so 100% this will be japan update fianlly

[thick edge]

I liked the last Japanese flag more ngl

Has more

[brittle venture]

Cant wait for the pdx thing where they release their worst received update and right after release absolute peak

[brittle venture]

It just wasnt the state flag iirc

[dark sail]

this what we have now is not historicial

if im not wrong its japan navy and war flag

[dreamy needle]

It’s much more representative of Japan in WWII, but it was actually only the naval flag.

[dark sail]

so when war will go then meybey this will be change but idk

[thick edge]

Hope there will be an option

Just like kx has it

[brittle venture]

Mods

[dark sail]

for 100% mod

[dreamy needle]

Kind of offensive that Japan still has that same flag

Notice how we never actually denazified Japan

[dark sail]

with will be ironman compatible i hope

[brittle venture]

Irl or in game

[dreamy needle]

Irl

[brittle venture]

Not with germany either they just got forced not to use the same symbols

But thats neither here nor there and political

[digital pumice]

there were nazis in japan?

[dark sail]

in german its harder

[dreamy needle]

That’s undeniably true of course, but we at least TRIED

[dark sail]

i think they cant put this one but japan? its look like normal japan

[dreamy needle]

I’m not using the term in relation to specific Nazis. I’m talking about Japanese fascists.

[brittle venture]

Japan got to keep the emperor because they never unconditionally surrendered like germany

[undone kelp]

There actually was but the Japanese basically liquidated the party in 1943 or 1944.

[digital pumice]

The Allied occupation forces did ban fascist and ultranationalist groups

[dreamy needle]

They did unconditionally surrender I think. They had intentions to try the emperor for his crimes but they kept him in hopes of pacifying the population.

[novel panther]

That’s just the democratic flag, tell me you haven’t played Japan without telling me you didn’t play Japan

[brittle venture]

It was conditional

[dreamy needle]

It’s not the default flag though

[dark sail]

this japan flag look same as modern, i mean it

[digital pumice]

was conditional tho

[dreamy needle]

I’ll take your word for it, I may be wrong

[tacit vault]

we're going to have MORE naval changes?

i can barely handle the navy as it is

[digital pumice]

sounds like a skill issue

[dreamy needle]

Kinda sucks as it is tho

[tacit vault]

it is 😔

[dreamy needle]

Needs changes

[novel panther]

It’s actually the army flag, not navy flag, the navy flag is off center

[digital pumice]

learn the navy and you'll never regret it

[dark sail]

oh my mistake then

[dreamy needle]

Should you refit all of your ships every time you unlock a new fire control system?

[tacit vault]

never

it's the HOI4 equivilant of getting a j*b

[digital pumice]

sinking the enemy fleet is the most satisfying feeling in the game

believe me

[undone kelp]

As far as Japanese paths, I expect we’ll have a restorationist path, revamped democracy, communist, and militarist paths, and perhaps a fascist path to represent the Tohokai?

[dreamy needle]

How do you even play Germany without a navy

[brittle venture]

I mean their only real condition was to keep the emperor

But thats still conditional

[tacit vault]

Paratroopers

and naval bombers

and nukes

[digital pumice]

what about japan

[dreamy needle]

https://tenor.com/view/cheese-food-gif-5113834195819307982

[tacit vault]

i don't play japan

[digital pumice]

uk, us?

italy?

[tacit vault]

I'm never playing the US until they get a rework

[novel panther]

This is exactly what we have now, the fascist and the militarist path is the same

[tacit vault]

i usually just steal navies, it works

trust me

[dreamy needle]

The fascist path is just the historical path. Taisei Yokusankai was explicitly fascist.

[brittle venture]

Average player only ever clicking germany

Ive played too much germany lately (a moderate amount of it) i need to get other nations up again

[undone kelp]

Right, but they could make at least three separate fascist paths: the historical militarist government, an ahistorical one where the Tohokai (Japanese Nazis) takes over, and an outright Neo-Shogunate.

[tacit vault]

I personally like playing minor nations

[dreamy needle]

True

[brittle venture]

Same

[tacit vault]

it's fun to have a struggle to become a great power

[brittle venture]

But which ones

[novel panther]

We have neo-shogunate

[tacit vault]

My favorites have to be Lithuania, Hungary, and bulgaria

[novel panther]

Literally the only thing that would be new would be the Nazis

[undone kelp]

I mean the German tree got revamped heavily to the point of having not much in common with the old one, I’d expect something similar for Japan.

Just about anything other than the historical path for Japan feels stapled on.

[dreamy needle]

I would be okay with this

Existing focus tree is balls

Paraguay has a larger focus tree than Japan

[novel panther]

Both are bad

[dreamy needle]

Everything is bad

[undone kelp]

I mean, a more in-depth militarist branch could even have you pick between the IJA and IJN as to who takes control of the government.

[dreamy needle]

True

That would be nice

[fresh cedar]

Big new addition is the size of islands and build limits. Small, medium and large islands which determine how much you can build on it including airport level

[novel panther]

Not everything, just some things are useless and others are outdated

[fresh cedar]

So Malta for instance won’t be able to field 2000 planes

[dreamy needle]

Are they ever going to fix how nonsensical the political ideology labels are

[digital pumice]

decently big game changer

[dreamy needle]

The PSOE is “Conservative” but the UK Conservative party is “Liberal”

[fresh cedar]

Will mean allied bombings of Europe/Asia will be less impactful from the Mediterranean or other remote islands

[undone kelp]

I expect Japan’s states will be revamped too to be more granular.

Let’s Balkanize the Home Islands!

[dreamy needle]

And a country can’t be labeled as “Centrist” and “Democratic”

[fresh cedar]

Also home base, home base supply and smaller fleet ranges will be a nice change. Feel like fleets have pretty OP range now so it’ll be easier to both target enemy fleets and manage your own

[digital pumice]

balkanized ancient japan 🔥

[fresh cedar]

Can you elaborate on what you mean by granular in this instance?

Because I imagine it’ll be a huge update for Japan comparable to Germany in GDR

Granular implies small changes

[undone kelp]

Down to the individual prefecture level, at least for Honshu.

If that’s too granular, splitting up some of the existing regions may also work.

Like a Northern Kyushu and Southern Kyushu.

[pure schooner]

3 friends and 9 mutuals lol

[vapid osprey]

I've only played Germany once, and that was before gotterdamerung

[brittle venture]

Neat

[silent prism]

This is amazing

[brittle venture]

This SUCKS

Wdym i cant put 2000 planes on palau anymore

[polar jasper]

UK Conservative party is conservative

It isn't liberalism

Also the political ideology thing is more of an alignment rather than actual ideology

[brittle venture]

Its about subideology

[polar jasper]

I know, but I know some of his subideology things was wrong

[brittle venture]

Ohh ok

Yes sir

[rain thunder]

navy changes look cool

[thick edge]

U have a good taste in servers fr

And why does it say message deleted

[next root]

Is it just me that dislikes these changes?

It feels like they’re taking things away, not adding any fun new features to navy

We now have to sit fleets in one spot for months to be effective

[cosmic stag]

idk

alr

[next root]

Feels like this is making it way less relevant rather than an upgrade to the system

Also no more building on islands makes sense but I don’t like it :(

[cosmic stag]

alr

i feel ya

[next root]

And range reduction is flat out annoying

Subs will still be able to stack range, so it’ll be even harder to counter them now

[cosmic stag]

yes same

i dont like those stuff aswell

we need a entire revamp of the DIV designer

with more units and templates

so we can RP in SP

[next root]

Not only does this screw up balance with submarines it won’t you have to micro fleets now by assigning naval bases just to escort your shipping?

[cosmic stag]

alr

i dont like that either

its like they dont want us to win

in naval invasions

@next root

we should get Escort carriers

so we can naval invade better

[next root]

That would be neat but carriers are still horribly clunky to use rn and I didn’t see them mention changes there

[brittle venture]

Wdym clunky

Its pretty easy

Block off bad sea zones

[next root]

Gotta click every carrier to assign the planes

Or at least assign the planes I actually want on them

[cosmic stag]

i wanna add SUPER CARRIERs

[next root]

Would be better if I could designate the type of planes in the carrier design or smth

[cosmic stag]

alr

[cosmic stag]

@next root whadya think bout this idea?

[next root]

Don’t we basically have that in special projects though

[cosmic stag]

yes we do

but i mean like even BETTER SUPER CARRIERS

[fresh cedar]

Makes me really interested what will be reworked with Japan

Island hopping seems like a big part. So maybe peace deal rework?

[brittle venture]

Nah not peacedeals prob

[rain thunder]

yeah its exciting

[fresh cedar]

They’re reworking factions and island hopping. Idk

[brittle venture]

I want doctrines and small arms :D

[fresh cedar]

Faction rework will atleast change war contribution depending on lend lease. So you never know

[brittle venture]

Mass mob meta will persist until then 💔

[stable tusk]

I think Baldwin has the sub ideology of Liberalism but Chamberlain and Churchill have the sub ideology of Conservative

[polar jasper]

Let me double check this

Huh, it is Liberalism

But here is the funny thing, liberalism has liberal and conservative camps

So technically could be correct, I don't know enough about Stanley Baldwin or the Conservative party in the UK

[dapper lance]

Can't you do that in base game

[next root]

not in the actual carrier design no

unless I'm forgetting

[dreamy needle]

Yeah that’s why it doesn’t make sense to me that the game labels it as liberal

That is why I used quotes

[stable tusk]

Baldwin is Liberalism, the rest of them are Conservative
Idk why Baldwin is Liberalism but what do I know

[safe plover]

U can be conservitive and liberalist

[polar jasper]

It says liberalism, not liberal

there is a difference

Technically conservatives and liberals are all under liberalism

Liberalism promotes individual freedoms and the free market which is quite broad

[brittle venture]

i need all devs on this loc error

omg pequim too

[spark plinth]

Tank designer style setup for small arms sound horrible

I want 7

[thick edge]

And artillery

And support equipment

Wait

A gun designer for tanks

Sounds fun

[astral atlas]

looks like i overestimated germany, i thought the ai would punch through my defenses easily. sadly i had green air all the time and they couldnt outproduce my planes

i made their tank divisions exhausted with my budget t34

im using the new gotterdammerung dlc and road to 56

rate gameplay

[drifting star]

How do I get India to agree to afgan confederation

With Pakistan

[thick edge]

Yeah the AI sucks

They can’t do anything

[thick edge]

Was this timed

[brittle venture]

Yes

[fluid shadow]

I mean most likely

[subtle gorge]

Huh

Graveyard of Empires is discounted but not Götterdämmerung?

[fluid shadow]

They know it's actually good, so players are willing to pay more for it

[subtle gorge]

Right 💀

[fluid shadow]

I mean at least from my memory Götterdämmerung had some pretty good stuff

[subtle gorge]

Daddy paradox gotta squeeze our wallets dry 🔥

[fluid shadow]

Yup

[subtle gorge]

And yet no big sales for EU4 💔🥀

[brittle venture]

Major dlc vs poorly received dlc

[hollow lion]

Also country pack vs normal DLC

[subtle gorge]

I mean fair enough, but that would apply to the other major dlc as well

Ig that GDR is still "fresh"

[icy nimbus]

when africa dlc

[tribal pewter]

A month after gta6

Maybe

[fresh cedar]

It’ll be nice when the new versions of country packs actually get features

[fresh cedar]

They’re definitely gonna break Africa up into like 3 DLC. North Africa, West Africa, and the rest

[fresh cedar]

I got no more dlc left to buy 😦

[wraith prawn]

finally, someone who didn't immediately fell back to the river and actually used the terrain (forests, rivers and marshes)

[brittle venture]

Falling back to the supply deadzone behind moscow/stalingrad then sending you the save fr

[fluid shadow]

Honestly, if you know what you're doing you can just hold the border, only loosing a few tiles

[solid sun]

mercy and chak for the win!

[sonic stratus]

isnt the dev diary scheduled for today?

[solid gyro]

it was yesterday and what was schedule today will be on June 26th.

[dapper lance]

fuel???

I can barely manage one fuel 😢

[stuck locust]

New fuel? we may now have an expanded fuel variety, like Gasoline, Diesel, Naptha, Propane-Butane and etc. and it's gonna be interesting

[fallen zenith]

Nah. Pretty sure they mean fuel metaphorically

[brittle venture]

electricity

Finally petrol electric engines will be good.....

[fallen zenith]

Stolen from me like 2 weeks ago smh

[brittle venture]

theyre adding it

Trust

Electricity update

Civillian life update

New 50s special project: television

• weekly war support

[fallen zenith]

If this is actually true it would be funny I predicted it

[fallen zenith]

And boosting political party popularity in some way

[brittle venture]

then next major dlc will add the housing bubble with the USA update 🔥

[fallen zenith]

Lmao

Electricity makes sense tho to some extent.

[brittle venture]

It does

And its mentioned in a few places

[fallen zenith]

Also ties into nuclear reactors

[brittle venture]

Mostly ethiopia and civillian reactors

But its mentioned

Electrification of shewa and other regions

[fallen zenith]

Yea. And its lacking which is weird since even vicky 3 has electricity

[brittle venture]

Tbh

It would be good to have some way to have more oil/a substitute for some of it

Because just like irl oil is very biased

Its actually less in game than irl

[fallen zenith]

Yea you need oil as every country

Which can be a challenge

[brittle venture]

Not really useful for world conquests

Good larp tho

[fallen zenith]

Yea

[brittle venture]

Would really add a cold war aspect

Modernizing railways, electricity building

And then one day hoi4 will be vic2

[fallen zenith]

Hoi4 won't ever do cold war tbh

[brittle venture]

Ik

[fallen zenith]

Too difficult to balance

[brittle venture]

But they want to add early cold war

Theyve mentioned it

[fallen zenith]

Anything before 48 probably

[brittle venture]

And electricity would tie great to it

[fallen zenith]

Yea

[brittle venture]

I dont think its happening im just yapping

Its a cool idea is all

[fallen zenith]

I feel like it might be

But also how'd that tie into japan

[brittle venture]

Japan makes sense

The reason they did all they did was modernizing rapidly

They struck the US because oil embargoe

Didnt wokr out so went for indonesian oil instead

Work*

[fallen zenith]

Oh yea good point

[brittle venture]

And having a way for non fascist / non aligned japan to deal with that makes sense

Same for china tbh

Makes sense for china

I can see it

[pseudo wing]

I'm leaking it, its Casey's soul

the new fuel

[brittle venture]

NOOOOOOOOOO

Dont have one anymore anyway, you took it from me 😔

[pseudo wing]

hmm... true

AUCTIONING CASEY'S COMPUTER

we can do that instead

[brittle venture]

Nooo

[thick edge]

ONE FIRM HANDSHAKE

[stable tusk]

ONE FIRM HANDSHAKE AND A TUBE OF SOUR CREAM AND ONION PRINGLES

[thick edge]

I love those omg

[radiant imp]

the fact that GBP basically nullifies all other doctrines for nations that don't do purpose built infantry fillers is dumb imo

SF and MW were both much better irl

GBP is basically just world war 1 shit

[polar jasper]

GBP is what the British used IRL

Lots of planning, and small focused offensives

[radiant imp]

yeah and they sucked

[polar jasper]

Eh

The problem was UK high command was too cautious

[radiant imp]

the raid at dieppe would beg to differ

[radiant imp]

the UK was basically knocked out of the war materially after the evacuation of Dunkirk, so their caution was merited.

they had recovered by 1943/44 but by then Germany was spent

[thick edge]

Too be fair, getting 200k troops encircled in a small space would make u really cautious

And I think they lost all their trucks/tanks

I heard something about the entire British army being motorized by the start of the war

Then lost most of it in dunkirk

[radiant imp]

no they were, they had universal carriers and everything

and then that was just gone

having a fully mechanized force and then losing 95% of their strength was a huge blow

[thick edge]

Yup

[radiant imp]

They kept the men but lost most everything else

The issue with the French and the Brits is that they made an army that would have done really well in the trenches of world war 1 barring their negligence towards sub machine guns

but not an army that would have done well in world war 2

[thick edge]

Plus the French generals sucked, u needed to suggest an idea to high command, then wait for a response from them

And by the time they responded, that chance would most likely be gone

[radiant imp]

auftragstaktik

[thick edge]

Agreed 🔥
||wtf is that||

[radiant imp]

in part Germany isn't really given enough credit for cementing that into their officer corps

it's mission type tactics

basically the idea that local commanders should be afforded agency to sieze the initiative should it be present

this was something that existed prior to WWII Germany by all means

[thick edge]

Yeah

[radiant imp]

but they really implemented it on a grand scale in the western campaigns

[thick edge]

That’s a really good idea

[radiant imp]

people often cite French incompetence and slowness to react

but that was literally just how armies operated

just like the U.S really exploited combined arms and made it a necessity for ground war

the germans used mission type tactics

and taught the world that it should never be neglected

[brittle venture]

When you demobilize it should take from the pool of deployed soldiers as well

[drifting star]

For some reason traditionalist Afghanistan under faqir ippi has elections

The facist county with election a

[hollow coral]

yeah lets call them electons

[drifting star]

There are new commented out focuses for Iraq

[solid gyro]

I don’t see anything wrong with that. North Korea has elections every year as well.

[hollow coral]

i mean japan also had elections

[brisk patrol]

my favorite hereditary democratic communist nation

[fresh cedar]

Communist India’s buffs are too OP imo. Gets a ton of buffs to recovery and org regain to the point where they are almost unbeatable

[tepid totem]

Where is the update to islands that they promised

Or the dev diary

Corner*

Wasnt it supposed to be a few days ago

[thick edge]

They already did it

[fresh cedar]

The one where they mentioned Tiny, Small, and Large islands, along with how the sizes will cal what level of buildings you can build. Such as lvl 2 max airfield on Marcus

[solid gyro]

The one they said they were having hot reschedule but they released another before it. (Most like to set up what’s coming up on the 26th)

[tepid totem]

Alright thanks yall

[icy nimbus]

navy rework?

[digital pumice]

yessir

[icy nimbus]

when

[digital pumice]

next update

[fresh cedar]

They’re reworking islands, factions, navy, and lend lease I believe

[icy nimbus]

thank god

[fresh cedar]

Basically navies will have a home port now, so less range. But you’ll have more agency in taking over specific seas. They’ll take time but you’ll effectively be able to take them over like air zones almost. And they’ll stay yours even if repairing as it takes a while to shift control.

Will need 66% naval dominance to naval invade versus 50% too.

[digital pumice]

no more waiting for the british fleet to go home for a split second as germany to sealion

[fresh cedar]

Yup, sea-lion will be much harder

So will any naval invasion too, so maybe less AI naval invasion spam?

[cold gale]

i think on the 26th we're learning what hte new dlc is

[hollow coral]

seems too early

and they do state something about fuel

[cold gale]

we can only hope ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mild magnet]

HOI devs have long promised us the possibility of selling and buying ships on the market. Unfortunately, this has not been realized for a long time.

[thick edge]

Imagine the price for it

Carriers on a high price

[rain thunder]

global market is kinda ass ngl

[brittle venture]

💔

[rain thunder]

what 😭

[brittle venture]

Its cool

You buy collectables

[rain thunder]

pog

collecting one of every ship from every nation

[dapper fjord]

you can buy a ship from International market?

[ornate trout]

No

[lapis burrow]

How many tank divs should I have in each of my armies? playing germany

[rain thunder]

ideally you have a tank only army so you can make use of general traits

[lapis burrow]

First time using tanks in this game, been playing since like I was 8 (im almost 14 now)

[rain thunder]

🤨

[hollow lion]

I like to do 4-6 out of 24

[brittle venture]

It needs to be at least 40%

So out of 24 thats like 10?

[hollow lion]

Isnt that kind of hard to reach early game

I only start building tanks late 1938 when I can make them 10-12km/h and I usually beat up everyone by 1942-1943

[brittle venture]

Its to grind panzer leader on your general tho

If its less then just make a seperate army

[thick edge]

Why is ur stability so low

[thick edge]

I hope the mitibushi MIO for Japan won’t be focus locked

[brittle venture]

No thats too far fetched

Its gonna be time locked to 1945

[thick edge]

I wanna have fun 🙏

[brittle venture]

No

[icy nimbus]

unique focus tree for prussia when???

[hollow coral]

not soon

[stuck locust]

Who thinks the USA and other countries need a major rework? USA escpecially with the Focus Tree

[hollow coral]

just go on reddit bro

[nimble torrent]

Bro got sentenced to reddit 😭

[stuck locust]

Nah, i am still here. I rarely use Reddit.

[stable tusk]

Well, Ig on Thursday we'll learn what the new fuel is

It better not be Vic 3 Bird Mana

[fresh cedar]

I never use tanks tbh, only in multiplayer

[fresh cedar]

I just wish the USA had a military rework. Don’t even need a political tree but it’s army/navy/Air Force is lacking

[fresh cedar]

Watch it be manpower 😂

[icy nimbus]

unique focus tree for prussia when

[fresh cedar]

Prussia did sorta get content but I don’t think they’re ever getting a tree

Prussia has a unique leader and a German formable tho

[brittle venture]

Volga germany has that too

Same for the baltic german state

[fresh cedar]

Yeah all the German states do

I’m just saying, it did get a little content

But doubt it will get more

[pseudo wing]

You forgot, its Casey's soul

oh hi casey, didn't see you there

[fresh cedar]

Or chak’s customer service 😂

[pseudo wing]

https://tenor.com/view/drama-sips-tea-sip-tea-tea-sipping-tea-gif-15211018678123647992

[brittle venture]

Omg a new chak

New pfp new person

Nice to meet you sir!

[pseudo wing]

It's just a temporary thing for now, the edit I did of Hades was too good not to use

[fresh cedar]

A new era for the Chakster 😔

[fresh cedar]

So like, how long in advance do you start writing posts like that

No chance it’s the night before

[pseudo wing]

they're usually written a few weeks to months in advance, but I usually type them up a week beforehand to format everything

it really depends on the content of a dev corner/dev diary

[brittle venture]

Chak can you just reveal the new fuel i pinky promise i wont share with anyone (real)

[fresh cedar]

That makes sense

Figured it would be a hassle

They seem to have a lot of work put into them

[fresh cedar]

It’s coal, duh

[pseudo wing]

I already told you, its your soul

...maybe lego

[brittle venture]

Game going full BICE

Oh, genius idea

Infantry designer and instead of fuel they use "provisions" as fuel

Would not be a pain to manage at all

[pseudo wing]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-bowl-hungry-gif-5337018160645280311

[fresh cedar]

Oh god watch it be provisions

Germany gonna finally get ate on the eastern front

[brittle venture]

With the KMT this would make sense

If you didnt know their main logistical issue wasnt gun or ammunition

[fresh cedar]

I totally agree

[brittle venture]

But at the start of the war their units had like 0 provisions

[fresh cedar]

If only they had drinking water 😭

[brittle venture]

But also itd be a hell on earth mechanic

[fresh cedar]

Meh could be like support equipment or fuel I guess

[brittle venture]

A lot of KMT soldiers had to pack their own meals on their way to the conscription office and ate it there

[fresh cedar]

Maybe works like convoys/fuel?

[brittle venture]

And then had little to nothing

Well yeah but itd still be a pain

[fresh cedar]

Just makes me think how it would impact every country

[brittle venture]

Civs should be able to either construct or make provisions

Just theorizing a cool system

[fresh cedar]

US should be OP at provisions imo

[fresh cedar]

Agreed

Like how you can divert civs to repair?

[brittle venture]

Kinda

Or like production lines idk

[fresh cedar]

Would make civs that much more impactful
