latest-updates

[polar jasper]

I believe it was in the game as an event before WtT

But now there is only the lake one

Where is this from

[jolly wasp]

Your quote

[polar jasper]

I never said that?

Where did you get this and it is neatly cropped as well

[brittle venture]

no? it was basically annexed into the chinese state

[polar jasper]

To not see the top bit when it was under Japanese control

[drifting star]

Meijang will be able to be mongol empire

[polar jasper]

Probably will be an achievement

[brittle venture]

but the state itself was more mongol

and thats how the devs treat it

[polar jasper]

Inner Mongolia when it has Mongolia in the name

[jolly wasp]

Shanxi is also in Inner Mongolia somewhat

[polar jasper]

I believe it is currently an autonomous zone in China today

[polar jasper]

Yeah, and I believe the Soviets can give Mongolia a claim to a northern Shanxi state

Because Inner Mongolia

[jolly wasp]

We should get a dev in here to check whether they think Mengjiang is more Mongolian or Chinese

[polar jasper]

We already know the answer?

They weren't given any content in WtT

[jolly wasp]

And also get them to have a big section as they never read the forums

[polar jasper]

They do read the forums?

Also you still never said where you got this from

[brittle venture]

just the wiki

[polar jasper]

Is it from Wikipedia?

[brittle venture]

at the end they were reorganized into the japanese chinese state

[polar jasper]

Or hoi4 wiki

[brittle venture]

regular

[polar jasper]

Wait, Reorganized Republic of China is a tag now

You can trap the Japanese army by capping it

So if China player snakes, they win

[brittle venture]

which is like irrelevant? it was always territories within china just ruled by mongols and seen as a mongolian collaboration state (very important with japanese army ambitions into the vladivostok region and the north)

[brittle venture]

china is messed up

[jolly wasp]

Not irrelevant if they were give. To Japanese China

[drifting star]

I bet there will a post update war effort that will have them

[brittle venture]

theyre gonna have less individual IC

[polar jasper]

So you are saying that you won't be able to beat China in 1939 anymore

[brittle venture]

thats a different nation

[polar jasper]

Sad

[brittle venture]

oh you will

china is like mega dead

[jolly wasp]

Yeah, but mengjiang were given to the reorganised gov of China, making them Chinese

[polar jasper]

Going to take until the 1980s for them to recover?

[polar jasper]

That isnt how it works

[jolly wasp]

Mengjiang’s name ‘Mengjiang’ is Chinese

[polar jasper]

They are still an autonomous region in China

Remember, kurds dont exist because they live in Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran

According to your logic

[jolly wasp]

Chahar isn’t, Inner Mongolia, which encompasses northern xi bei san ma, shanxi, mengkukuo and manchukuo, is

[polar jasper]

Im going to head to bed, cya

[jolly wasp]

Meng jiang is made up of the Chinese characters: ‘Meng’ 蒙 and ‘jiang’ 疆

[jolly wasp]

Sucks to be you cause’ in Australia it’s only 4:00pm!

[hollow coral]

meng is just short for mongolia

jiang can be interpreted as land or territory

Mengjiang was also officially apart of the roc before the japanese came knocking

it was governed by the pailiangmao council which Chiang was willing to give as much autonomy to them as they wanted

so they were akin to a warlord

but they shouldnt be given a warlord tree because of there unique situation

[vast shore]

HEY

it still has feelings!

Besides, thats why we love it

[wise oxide]

teaser yet?

[safe trail]

no

[vast shore]

Meh

not needed

Diary releases in 1:30h

[hushed lion]

And it's the Philippines, it doesnt deserve a teaser

[vast shore]

I did not need a philines update

Should have picked Siam

and put philippines into the country expansion pass

[coral drift]

No, thanks, it would overshadow the East Indies XD

[vast shore]

Nah

Siam will do that though

[tired scaffold]

That's exactly why the Philippines, New Zealand and Malaya aren't in the theater pack

They needed to put the most sellable countries into the seperate pack or barely anyone would buy it

[vast shore]

Its funny

[coral drift]

No NZ and Malaya, though

[vast shore]

I genuinely realized that

[coral drift]

No Indochina either

[vast shore]

while I typed it out

[hollow coral]

What genuinely was the point to add burma

Skeleton content?

[vast shore]

Realism

[coral drift]

Another country to be conquered by Japan

[hollow coral]

There justification was that since it was beginning to become seperate in 1935

The portraits are cool though

[coral drift]

Should've add an event when it got upgraded from integrated puppet to colony in April 1937
Also, where is Aung San???

He fits much more for communist leader than Ne Win

[hollow coral]

Burma for taog😭

[coral drift]

At least it should have a proper skeleton content

[tired scaffold]

There are already a lot of focus trees in this expansion pass

Maybe they will be added alongside a United States or Britain rework

[coral drift]

NZ light rework, Manchukuo-style
Malayan skeleton content
Singapore and Brunei releaseables (maybe Pattani too?)

[hollow coral]

3 trees though

[tired scaffold]

That's because Czechoslovakia is a seperate expansion

[hollow coral]

Isnt that modder though

[coral drift]

Should've been packed together in the 1st or 3rd Expansion Pass

[coral drift]

Yup

[hollow coral]

They are going to do taog part two with malaya burma and indochina

[coral drift]

Should've been in the 2nd Expansion Pass

[vast shore]

Warlord country expansion pass would slap hard

[hollow coral]

mid

Most paths would likely just be outlandish

[vast shore]

Yes

But unlike all other countries

for chinese warlords its kinda fitting

[hollow coral]

https://tenor.com/view/venom-venom-xray-eddie-brock-gif-26261019

[tired scaffold]

At this point they should just release French Indochina as a puppet

It was as autonomous as Burma and Malaya

[hollow coral]

They are getting portraits

[tired scaffold]

And the rest of the colonies in the Pacific Theater are on the map so it's weird for them not to be

[hollow coral]

French indochina and malaya were not one unit

Although french indochina had a governor general that overlooked the colonies

British malaya and north borneo were distinct entities

[tired scaffold]

Malaysia was weird

I think Singapore was a seperate thing too

And Sarawak

[coral drift]

State modifiers would be enough

[winter tartan]

I would love it to see it well done

But for that we need first to permaban all the people who want schizo trees from discord, Reddit and the paradox forum

[safe trail]

Sure, here are a few teasers to whet the whistle. 😉

[coral drift]

Again, it can be done through state modifiers and advisors with specific "on_hire" and "on_fire" entries

Stella Polaris Patch is such a godsend

[wise oxide]

ping me when diary

[sterile urchin]

Is the dev diary 9 am eastern or 10 am eastern?

[coral drift]

9PM Jakarta Time (UTC+7 on Equator)

So 3PM Stockholm Time (UTC+1)

[wise oxide]

6-7 minutes

[vast shore]

In a few minutes

[wise oxide]

its time

[hollow coral]

Woah never said anything about 500 new states

Just said the political situation

Ingame its pointless adding so many

[coral drift]

Huh?

[hollow coral]

French indochina can be one state

British malaya can be simplified to the uk owning north botneo

[coral drift]

State modifers for Vietnamese states, Cambodian, and Laotian each, can be improved if you hired certain advisors

[coral drift]

That's what i meant

[peak wyvern]

anyone know if the next dlc will bring updates to korea?

[wise oxide]

link

i need it now

[vast shore]

not yet

[hollow coral]

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/how-malaysia-should-be-represented-ingame-and-possible-paths-for-it.1862801/

[hollow coral]

portaits and decisions

[wise oxide]

what is ts

[peak wyvern]

they need to do a dlc for mongolia manchria and korea they seem left out

[hollow coral]

They left out korea for a reason

Mongolia mengjiang and manchuria would be a neat dlc

[wise oxide]

would be the worst dlc oat

[peak wyvern]

i dont think anything can be as bad as graveyard

[wise oxide]

ot better include atleast 1 important nation

[wooden fiber]

How long until the dev diary?

[hollow coral]

They never specified a time

[wise oxide]

atleast it has 1 strong and 1 very important country

[sterile urchin]

God bless daylight savings time

[peak wyvern]

yeah fair point

[wooden fiber]

Did they say they were going to release it late?

[burnt sail]

no

[hollow coral]

well they never said when

[peak wyvern]

maybe a north america rework defo canada

[wooden fiber]

Normally, they would have released it seven minutes ago

[hollow coral]

It just always releases on the same day at the same time

[burnt sail]

no dev diary today seems like

[hollow coral]

maybe something with eu5

[wooden fiber]

😔

[fresh cedar]

Could just be later

[wise oxide]

canada usa mexico

[peak wyvern]

yeah them 3 maybe not mexico but usa and canada need reworks

[burnt sail]

hopefully

[wise oxide]

next dlc is usa i bet would be smart

[peak wyvern]

usa canada and uk

[hoary siren]

Most likely

[peak wyvern]

they all need some flavour

[hoary siren]

100% they won’t don’t two majors together

[wise oxide]

france also very basic

[hollow coral]

Isnt that obvious though

[fresh cedar]

Yeah not till late 2026, like Q3-Q4

[wise oxide]

romania is the 3rd most important axis member not including japan and their tree is buns

[peak wyvern]

that is a good point tbf

romania is a very boring tree

[wise oxide]

what would be the country pack after usa dlc

[peak wyvern]

well main would be usa, rework would be canada and mexico gets some little addons

[hoary siren]

Caribbean

[wise oxide]

no way

[peak wyvern]

jesus

[wise oxide]

too irrelevant

[peak wyvern]

isle hopping at its best

[hoary siren]

Which is exactly why I can see it

[sterile urchin]

They might do yugo, Albania, and Romania rework probably

[wise oxide]

north south america would be a bit more likely

[peak wyvern]

south america dont need another dlc

[sterile urchin]

Ireland should be reworked alongside the uk

[wise oxide]

balkan rework will be a majir dlc in 2050

true uk dlc is after usa i bet

[peak wyvern]

we can only hope

balkans do need a huge rework

[safe trail]

where dev diary

[peak wyvern]

i think paradox needs to work with the rt56 modders when it comes to focus trees

[wooden fiber]

@pseudo wing are we having a dev diary?

[pseudo wing]

No sir, not today.

there is one this week just not today

[wise oxide]

damn

brutal

[pseudo wing]

There is a very very important thing releasing today so we're giving them their time to shine

[inland bloom]

well well well

[coral drift]

Ah, so you're Bruhddha

Well, just saying, i stand with my choice to add more states there (especially Singapore, Brunei, Kedah-Perlis, Kelantan-Terengganu, and Pattani) but no new starting tags.
State modifiers would be enough

[nimble torrent]

real

[coral drift]

Hmm

[inland bloom]

ahhh the new tanu tuva focus tree

lets go

[safe trail]

why

[peak wyvern]

eu5 dev diary gonna go mental

[pseudo wing]

*gestures broadly to the 1600's *

[coral drift]

I would love for the states in Java to be reworked like this, hehehehehehe

It's more granular than HoI4's, but not too much

[inland bloom]

because its on another day

[wise oxide]

soon?

[inland bloom]

is this a teaser lmao

[pseudo wing]

not at all

[peak wyvern]

its eu5 shit isnt it

[pseudo wing]

what PDX title is doing a thing today, that we should know?

[inland bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/watching-you-observe-seeing-i-saw-you-gif-5740825

[pseudo wing]

mental tried to combine two sentences, that was gibberish for a second lol

[wise oxide]

if the very important thing is not hoi 4 its irrelevant

[peak wyvern]

facts

[safe trail]

so because of eu 5 we get nothing great

[wise oxide]

i could not care less about any other paradox game

[peak wyvern]

same goes for all of life if its not hoi4 related dont tell me

[safe trail]

i dont care about eu 5

[wise oxide]

so i better not get disappointed 😭

[coral drift]

Probably on Thursday

[peak wyvern]

eu series is dog

[coral drift]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[peak wyvern]

legit only good games are hoi ck vic

and vic is sometimes on the bad side

[wise oxide]

10hours of pressing buttons and a bit of combat

[safe trail]

f eu 5

[wise oxide]

better not see eu 5 on hoi 4 server🫩

[peak wyvern]

tbf whats the chnaces this is the last hoi4 dlc

before hoi5?????

[fresh cedar]

No dev diary bc EU5? Bruh im not buying EU5 for $60 rn. Gonna probably buy it next year on sale 😂

[safe trail]

0%

[safe trail]

i dont care about eu 5

[fresh cedar]

I’d guess the next expansion pass would be the last at the earliest. Though there will probably be another after that tbh

[wise oxide]

0

[fresh cedar]

HOI4 lifecycle most likely ending 2027-2028

[peak wyvern]

if they make a hoi5 i think it should be based between 1936-1952

[fresh cedar]

Don’t get me wrong EU5 looks cool. But not releasing a HOI4 dev diary bc of it doesn’t help me buy it any sooner lol

[wise oxide]

gonna milk it untill its out dated as heck

by then we wasted 500€ on hoi 4 only for hoi 5 to not have any old features and add a few new ones

[hoary siren]

Another $500

[peak wyvern]

fair point but i pay monthly for the dlc

i dont buy dlc

[wise oxide]

is it even worth

[peak wyvern]

ive done the sub for like 6 months now

mainly cause i have bad spending habits and know full well i will never save up enough to buy all the dlc

[fresh cedar]

Can’t imagine renting a game.

[peak wyvern]

so like £13 every 3 months aint that bad

[wise oxide]

it is

[hoary siren]

Eventually it’s more cost effective to just buy the dlc

[wise oxide]

fr

[vast shore]

https://tenor.com/view/listen-here-you-little-shit-gif-19917743

[fresh cedar]

Idk which is? Thought EU5 released days ago.

[vast shore]

I DO NOT CARE ABOUT EU5

I CANT EVEN RUN IT

ARGHHH

[pseudo wing]

Content creators got early access to it

[fresh cedar]

Tbh I don’t care abt any pdx title till they’ve been out for about 2 years then I buy $100 of dlc and play it for 500 hours

[vast shore]

Its not even that

Eu4 was borinf

So will Eu5 be

[hoary siren]

So no dev diary?

[fresh cedar]

EU4 was my first paradox game tbh

[fresh cedar]

No bc EU5 apparently 😭

[vast shore]

I bought eu4 half a year ago under pressure

[hoary siren]

L

[fresh cedar]

Last time I played was like 10 years ago then I found hoi4, and switched over

Honestly, EU5 looks really good but is extremely unpolished in its current state as are most pdx games on release.

I’m sure it’ll be great in a year or two.

I’m scared to get hyped over any new pdx title bc what happened to Imperator Rome and the Star Trek Stellaris game

[frosty oak]

I feel like I recall CK3 being regarded well when it released, but nobody liked Vicky3 until like, about right now

They fr dropped Star Trek like a hot pan

Threw it like a frog in shit

[fresh cedar]

Yeah that really made me think twice about buying a pdx title too soon

I waited legit until a month ago to play Victoria 3 bc of that

[frosty oak]

I recall they kinda tried with Imperator, but nobody liked it

[fresh cedar]

I think the problem with imperator is that it kinda focuses too heavily on one nation

[frosty oak]

Except iSorrowProductions

I think if I remember right

[fresh cedar]

I like Imperator and played it a lot, but it was mostly developed for Rome, Greece and Carthage

PDX games are fun bc their scope imo

And it lacked it

[frosty oak]

Where my gothic DLC

I need my goth women Paradox!!!!

[fresh cedar]

Obviously they won’t do that to Europa bc it’s a huge title

But still

Buying it for $60 on release? 😬

[frosty oak]

I think that’s the only logic that saved Vicky 3

[fresh cedar]

Yeah

[frosty oak]

“Too big to fail”

[fresh cedar]

Believe it or not EU5 is already having a better release than Vicky 3

It’s just that nations are sorta shallow and messy atm. Like Ottomans, HRE.

[frosty oak]

Wonder where I’ve heard that before

[fresh cedar]

From what I’ve seen from testers, it’s pretty buggy too.

Though everyone said they liked it

Still, not getting a faction/coal/Phillipines diary today bc of it makes me sad 😔

[frosty oak]

Honestly, call me a shill, I don’t mind the price tags for paradox games. $60 upfront, $20-35$ a year for new DLC, I’d need to do the calculations but for me personally that has equated to something around 25 cents per hour of gameplay with hoi4, probably less

Brb now imma do the math

[fresh cedar]

That’s my mindset too. I just don’t buy in till I know it’s worth it. Like I owned base Victoria 3 then bought all the dlc years later once it was established

I’d probably pay $30 for EU5 in its current state. If it develops and fixes some things then I’d probably pay more.

[frozen kestrel]

Day worse 😞

[brittle venture]

I usually play those but theyre in remote areas so its okay

[safe trail]

thanks to eu 5

[fresh cedar]

Nah man they’re trying to support fellow developers. Pretty sure some old PDX staff went to the EU5 team so they’re standing in solidarity

[safe trail]

solidarity nah but i am selfish

[brittle venture]

Dont be selfish and/or greedy and your life will improve as you improve that of others

[edgy walrus]

When is next dev diary?

[hoary siren]

Next week

[edgy walrus]

So no dev diary this week?

[hoary siren]

Probably not because eu5

[lofty heron]

I was wondering where the dev diary is for today but then I realised the clocks went forward in my country so it must be at 3pm this time instead of 2pm

[edgy walrus]

oh ok

[nimble torrent]

@edgy walrus

[edgy walrus]

Nice, thank you

[lofty heron]

ah okay

[fresh cedar]

There is one this week, just not today

I’d guess Thursday

[vast shore]

I find it ridiculous

For 60$ I expect a fully finished Game

[frosty oak]

Don’t get me wrong, I do too, but I’m looking at this from the perspective of the entire modern video game industry

[brittle venture]

Dont talk about that on this discord server.

[frosty oak]

Deleting mine to be nice

[vast shore]

If a friend wouldn't have bought me the new hoi4 DLC I would have went for a quest of booty for the first time in like 7 years

[vast shore]

The hoi4 devs need to remember that alternatives exist

But alright

Ill stop

Cause I like you

[thick edge]

Can I use a payment plan for eu5

[vast shore]

[thick edge]

Like 1 dollar every year

🔥

[frosty oak]

Tbh I still stand by my statement regardless, hoi4 legit a great deal, even if I bought it all at full price (i only have for about half of it) if still make out like a thief

[vast shore]

No but probably 10$. a month

[frosty oak]

3,400 hours over the last 7 years, great deal imo

[vast shore]

I bought most DLCs when they were on sale while I put my shop region to Thailand, back to when that still was easy to do

[frosty oak]

Lmao nice

[vast shore]

Paid like 20$ for all the DLC

[brittle venture]

If you continue this conversation any further you will be actioned.

[frosty oak]

I bought base game on Black Friday 2017 (oh it’s almost 8 years now) and all dlc up to the recently released walking the tiger during the following summer 2018 sale

And I’ve bought everything either day and date or pre ordered because I have brain worms but only for hoi4

Except the newest dlc and expansion pack, my computer broke so I haven’t bought it
Yet

[brittle venture]

it took me like 5 years? To play the game because i didnt physically have a pc

[frosty oak]

Casey, Casey I got a question for you fam

Do you think we will be blessed with South America round 2 alongside a US rework

[mystic vortex]

what is the best mod for WO1?

[vast shore]

PARADOX

[frosty oak]

What’s WO1

[mystic vortex]

World war 1

[vast shore]

RELEASE A WARLORD COUNTRY EXPANSION PASS AND MY LIFE IS TOUES

[frosty oak]

Ooh

[vast shore]

The Great War mod in my opinion

[brittle venture]

everything i can share, you already know about anyway

[mystic vortex]

Thx

[vast shore]

But most say Great War Redux

[mystic vortex]

I will try both and the best one for the cold war?

[frosty oak]

Dude I am actually so hyped for the new warlord reworks, they are way more expansive than they initially let on

[vast shore]

Theres only 1

CWIC

Cold war Iron Curtain

[frosty oak]

That’s a strange way to respond to a question about what could be 1-2 years away, hmmmmmmm

[brittle venture]

No thats just how NDAs work

[drowsy umbra]

FFU2 if mp GWR if sp

[fresh cedar]

Goated documentary

[drifting star]

I was right let’s go !!!

[vast shore]

Alternatively I can recommend TNO, its a cold war if the Axis won but its more a visual novel and less combat

[fresh cedar]

It’s cool how they do differ from eachother

[drifting star]

They ain’t releasing nothin cuz of eu5

[frosty oak]

Oh damn I had no idea you were under an NDA, never mind

Sorry to pester lol

[fresh cedar]

TNO is unbearable 😂

[drowsy umbra]

3400 over 2 years my life is cooked 😭

[vast shore]

No way you actually had to sign an NDA

[mystic vortex]

@vast shore You need to try to play as the polish lituanian commenwealth it is great and I made a big as imperium

[frosty oak]

Holy shit

[fresh cedar]

A discord mod had to sign an NDA? 😬

[drowsy umbra]

I like hoi4 a bit to much XD

[drowsy umbra]

I mean I’m sure paradox doesn’t just want people leaking stuff

[fresh cedar]

Unless you sit in on team meetings and are privy to upcoming releases. I can’t see why they’d force an NDA

[barren tusk]

no dev diary today??

[vast shore]

no cause eu5

[fresh cedar]

Not today. There will be one this week

[vast shore]

@brittle venture do you get paid

[thick edge]

Cmon

[barren tusk]

XD excited for the game

[frosty oak]

I’d hope they do

[fresh cedar]

No pay, no NDA, that’s my motto

[barren tusk]

also what will be the next dev diary?

[frosty oak]

Probably the Philippines

Maybe tho it could be the doctrine rework

[fresh cedar]

Could be factions, coal/energy, Philippines, strategic locations, or doctrine rework

[barren tusk]

doctrine rework they did it

at the very beginning

[frosty oak]

What’s a strategic location?

Are they just shadow dropping an update bigger than NSB?

[fresh cedar]

Yeah same with Phillipines but they’re much further along now

[pseudo wing]

Moderators have to sign the NDA, but its mostly because we store proof for actionings and stuff, and its to prevent people from leaking things

Though I do understand your sentiment regarding NDA's and whatnot

[fresh cedar]

A new mechanic which makes specific tiles and islands have unique buffs for building and other stats

So that they’re more worth taking

[barren tusk]

ohhhh

[faint parrot]

Somone know what stuff comes with no comprimise no surrender

[vast shore]

Its the philippines

They hinted it

[barren tusk]

gotta see if philippines has to be in the spanish faction

[pseudo wing]

It also really helps cut down on external drama and whatnot from rearing its head into the Moderator Team, which we dont want someone from another HOI server to do things only in their own interest rather than this community's interest as a whole

[frosty oak]

I feel like the devs have done nothing but reveal focus trees this entire time, and keep hinting at a fundamental rework of everything in the game

[fresh cedar]

Oh trust me it makes sense. I just thought they were unpaid and not in the loop on updates. Didn’t realize they were deeper than that

[pseudo wing]

They're not in the loop for updates and whatnot for the most part, but I do give headsup on potential activity bumps and whatnot, though I don't spoil anything for people as much as I can help it, Moderator or not

[fresh cedar]

Nah they did show strategic locations a bit which was cool. And how the great wall will give buffs for specific tiles etc

[vast shore]

https://tenor.com/view/demoman-fair-enough-aye-fair-enough-fair-enoigh-fair-gif-2274378814549701334

[frosty oak]

Oh, interesting

[vast shore]

Im hyped for the great wall

[pseudo wing]

I like to keep the surpises for everyone, Moderator or Regular user :))

[fresh cedar]

Ah that makes sense. So you don’t have them running hyping people up, potentially derailing content

[vast shore]

But muh war lord content

[fresh cedar]

They showed a decent bit in the streams. Though I think this week is supposed to be the faction rework

These new icons are strategic locations

Islands got really nerfed when it comes to forts and airfield sizes

[frosty oak]

Ah, I see, that’s interesting

[fresh cedar]

So these buffs effectively let them build up more

[vast shore]

Wait

[fresh cedar]

So instead of a normal island only having lvl 1-2 airfield, these could have 8. Or instead of lvl 1 forts, lvl 4

[frosty oak]

Honestly I wasn’t expecting an island nerf, if anything, I was expecting them to compensate by making islands bigger, like a lot of mods have done

[vast shore]

sid they show if holding islands buffs/nerfs

a country

like in various mods

[fresh cedar]

Some will be effective, others not. Tbh islands are all even more worth it bc homebases limit range. So you will need to island hop more

It’s just that some islands are extra useful now

[frosty oak]

I’m extremely excited to see how this new naval rework and supply system changes the game, perhaps it will actually make the system halfway realistic

[vast shore]

Meh

[frosty oak]

Instead of Japanese style hyper death stacking

[vast shore]

All I care about is my warlord content

[frosty oak]

Which warlord you most excited about

[fresh cedar]

It’s supposed to take much longer to gain superiority over oceans. And supply sea lanes are supposed to be more important

[vast shore]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B30Z_U-wBKQ

Average Warlord Enjoyer

[fresh cedar]

Sinkiang and Xebei seem the most in depth

[vast shore]

Unfortunately

I do really

Really

Really

[fresh cedar]

We don’t really know yet, others may have stuff too

[vast shore]

Hope they gave cool stuff for all the warlords facing Japan

Like Yan Xishan or the Shandong Clique

[frosty oak]

Good for me, Sinkiang is by and far my favorite, can’t wait to reproduce this but in the new update

So many more cores to take soon

I’ll have a China to stretch from the Himalayas to the Siberian steppe, from the Caspian to the pacific

[fresh cedar]

Wonder if Khotan will have unique content

Ik Sinkiang has its communist path basically

[vast shore]

Same, Im a Xibei San Ma enjoyer

[frosty oak]

I assume it would have the same things as the other ma families

[rocky oasis]

It does have its own mini-warlord tree separate from the other Ma warlords about unifying Sinkiang.

[fresh cedar]

They said the 3 mas can try to annex the others and unify

[fresh cedar]

Right, but how does it vary from Sinkiang?

[rocky oasis]

It was shown in the dev diary.

[frosty oak]

Oh, so what’s the Kotan ma then

[fresh cedar]

Like wasn’t it a Buddhist kingdom?

[rocky oasis]

Much shorter.

[fresh cedar]

Ik they showed Xebei and Sinkiang. But did they even show Kotans?

[frosty oak]

I love how the devs fr gaslit us like “oh yeah, minor warlord rework” but nah they actually giving us something decently substantial

[vast shore]

I love em for that

As a warlord mp main

this is peak

[rocky oasis]

No. Khotan Ma, as others have said, is the New 36th Division led by Ma Hushan.

[frosty oak]

I didn’t expect Manchukuo to get the short end of the stick tbh

[polar bronze]

are they gonna rename it?

[fresh cedar]

This is HOI4 we’re talking about. Where Hitler can be a Byzantine emperor and a bear the Tsar of Russia

[frosty oak]

And is mengukuo forgotten again

But they did get new cores 🙂

[vast shore]

Neither did I

[brittle venture]

All warlords got limited content and manchukuo got the most

[vast shore]

But Im happy about it

[brittle venture]

It doesnt help how limited the sources and information for the time are

[rocky oasis]

Besides anything else, Ma Hushan and the other members of the Ma families are Muslim.

[frosty oak]

Feels like the opposite based on the reveals so far tbh, but I guess we will see

[vast shore]

"Wer suchet der findet" - German Proverb and opening for a dark humor joke

[rocky oasis]

Khotan Ma gets this tree for unifying Sinkiang and the shared tree of unifying the Ma Clique.

[vast shore]

But I am slightly worried

[frosty oak]

Kotan Ma is gonna be the best Ma I’m calling it

[vast shore]

they didn't show the other warlord trees

[brittle venture]

If you look at any individual warlord it is quite minimal

[vast shore]

I hope they just want to buils suspense

but have something planned

[fresh cedar]

At-least it has 6 paths now.

[brittle venture]

The focus obviously went into mechanics (mostly yet to be truly revealed such as doctrines; the core balance of the game)

[fresh cedar]

Ironically warlords might get better emperor paths than the Qing

[brittle venture]

And into china and japan/philippines

[frosty oak]

Perhaps, I think the biggest thing for me is the fact the warlords felt so small and meaningless, so now it feels like this small bit has rather brought them to life, where as Manchukuo already had something going for it

[coral drift]

Chak says later this week
So probably Thursday
/MacTavish

[vast shore]

I pray to god about border skirmishes

but my hopes are low

They said they slightly changed it

but it doesn't seem like much

[fresh cedar]

Yeah I’d guess Wednesday or Thursday. They normally do a stream or video Thursday that’s why I say Wednesday

[fresh cedar]

In the last stream they showed it a bit. Looks like you can prepare more now to make it easier? Though we’ll see

[vast shore]

Only the CCp

But thats it

[fresh cedar]

They always just needed goals. I think have short term goals of unifying or taking over parts of China really mixes it up

[coral drift]

While i appreciate the memes, i wanted a Republican Germany path led by SPD

[fresh cedar]

Yeah I wonder how Khalkin Gol goes

[rocky oasis]

I wouldn’t be too worried. They will at the very least have generals, since that seems to be the way the devs intend to gate off generals for the Nationalists and encourage the player to interact with the Chinese United Front as a faction.

[fresh cedar]

Agreed, should’ve had a couple true democratic leaders. Not just constitutional monarchy

[winter tartan]

The warlords didn't need monarchic paths. They needed more individual flavour than what they have

[coral drift]

If they have it, i would not mind the memes

Really.

[fresh cedar]

Do you guys think that monuments will finally be able to transfer owners now?

Bc Greece still can’t actually get buffed from the Hagia Sofia

[brittle venture]

They should add monuments to vic3 so they can affect your state political demographics and state attraction/throughput fr

Very off topic

[fresh cedar]

Agreed

Really like monuments tbh

[hoary siren]

I really want to learn vic3

[vast shore]

Yeah but I wish for a few unique focuses for all warlords

[brittle venture]

Line go up

[fresh cedar]

Same. Communism not being meta made me sad. Turns out capitalism grows GDP best 😔

[thick edge]

It’s surprisingly not that hard

[brittle venture]

I only have like 200h in vicky and i kind of understand it

[hoary siren]

As god intended

[fresh cedar]

Idk though, if a monument is within your core territory, it should buff you

Like if Europe cores all of Europe, should get buffs from all the monuments

[wintry turtle]

No dev diary today?

[fresh cedar]

Not just your starting

[hoary siren]

Does vic3 have unique buildings?

[fresh cedar]

No, EU5 release delayed it till wed/thurs

[thick edge]

I ate it

And did they change the eu5 release date

I swear it was Nov 23

[fresh cedar]

That was the DLC for HOI4

[wintry turtle]

That's the 20th, i think

[thick edge]

No the dlc is the 20th

[fresh cedar]

Byzantine Greece not getting buffs from the monument that mentions the Byzantines is criminal

I’ll die on this hill 😂

[vast shore]

When are the new plushies being leaked

if they are chinese Ill buy them

[fresh cedar]

Already leaked.

[pseudo wing]

make a forum post about it, and I'll bump it towards the War Effort discussions internally, bc I kinda agree

[brittle venture]

I think itd be cool if having say a mosque (dont know if i can say the name here lol) could give more devout pop attraction/strenght in return for some minor/state buffs

Thatd be sick i think

[fresh cedar]

Okay Chak, if I must

[vast shore]

Revealed*

[pseudo wing]

Yes, you must, you have no choice I have already taken your soul

[fresh cedar]

So right is Koumintang soldier with German helm. Left is communist Chinese soldier, PLA. And middle is Xuantong emperor keychain

No idea abt the hoodie. Probably bland and say HOI4 or something

[brittle venture]

I would sell my soul if it meant my vic games always had line go up..

[vast shore]

https://tenor.com/view/i-need-it-spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-gif-4883506

[fresh cedar]

Effectively these 3

[vast shore]

How much did the last plushies cost

[brittle venture]

Somewhere around a million to a billion

[fresh cedar]

Aren’t they like $30

[vast shore]

Argh

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-patrick-star-broke-poor-gif-14729256

[fresh cedar]

They will be $30

[vast shore]

so over

[fresh cedar]

The hoodie will be $60

So that’s $120 off the bat, probably $10 for the keychain

I own a hoodie from make ship and it’s really high quality and thick

[wise oxide]

if the very very important thing is the plushies i will cry

who even buys them💔

[vast shore]

I might

Just for the chinese ones

(I love China)

[barren tusk]

wrong chat sorry

[wise oxide]

how cooked is this japan

also funny that no focustree means no resources

[vast shore]

Historically accurate out of 10

[wise oxide]

columbia has only some oil when para/uruguay get alot of steel and oil

i just realized they will have to improve soviets attacking manchuria if germany is dealt with

on historical atleast

[fresh cedar]

How should I format the forum post? As a suggestion?

[pseudo wing]

yes yes, a suggestion

that if XYZ country, say ottoman, has an ottoman path, it should in theory benefit from the ottoman monument

[vast shore]

I am a little saddened they renamed opium as special goods

[fresh cedar]

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/suggestion-monument-transfer-upon-core.1866810/

I'm not sure if that's what you had in mind

[pseudo wing]

not the exact thing I had in mind, but its a post I can reference regardless.

I can also add my own suggestion in tandem with it internally

[floral anvil]

Im so sad that Mengjiang doesn’t get a focus tree

[safe trail]

Mongolia tibet Bhutan nepal and mengjiang

ned a focus tree

not big ones but maybe like iceland aussa paraguy uruguay

[waxen axle]

Chak....

Where is the dev diary

[fresh cedar]

Vielen danke

[safe trail]

not today

[fresh cedar]

Delayed till later this week

[safe trail]

because eu 5 relase

[waxen axle]

https://tenor.com/view/mad-pissed-off-anger-angry-fist-gif-17698178

[fresh cedar]

Guys remember, they haven’t been uploading dev diary schedules anymore. Their days aren’t consistent.

[wise oxide]

but what is the very very important thing today?

[barren tusk]

Eu5 release

[polar bronze]

Did they strip eu5 of mechanics that eu4 had

[hushed lion]

Also it would be the Philippines and they already didn't deserve being in this dlc

[polar bronze]

They shouldve done philippines in the american rework

[hushed lion]

Or better yet in the south East asia+ Australia rework

[winter tartan]

It would have made much more sense

And give instead a worthy focus tree for Manchuria and a better one than the provided for KMT

[mortal ridge]

what are the dlcs release dates?

[hushed lion]

Nov 20

For no compromise no surrender

[stable tusk]

NCNS (China, Japan Philippines), November 20 of this year
TAOG (Australia, Siam, Indonesia) and Peace in our Time (Czechoslovakia) Quarter 2 of next year

[vast shore]

Im not

Its actually semi cool

Only warlord without a focus tree

makes it uniique

only thing that sucks

lack of cores

but they can core inner (and now outer?) mongolia

[hushed lion]

Something like this

[tender roost]

when does the game end

btw

i was doing usa and i was cooking so hard i got to like 1947 (i think) and i made the country turn communist through the focuses to allign with the ussr but then the game just suddenly ended and i got the stats menu and an option to quit only

after like a month of turning communist

[hushed lion]

Like the game doesn't really end you can always continue

[fresh cedar]

1948

[tender roost]

is there no way you can keep going

[tender roost]

it didnt let me

just had one button - quit

[hushed lion]

There is normally

Unless you lose

[tender roost]

was me turning communist... losing?

because i was doing very well when it just ended

[hushed lion]

No

[fresh cedar]

You just close the menu and can keep going. I’ve played till 1980’s before

[hushed lion]

Losing would be capitulating and being annexed

[tender roost]

there was nothing i kept lcicking

i saw someone else post a picture that had a continue button

i didnt have anything

so clearly the game thinks i lost

is it because the communists started a civil war against me and THEN i did the focus that makes me communist

[hollow lion]

Civil wars between two sides with the same ideology can trigger autoannex possibly

I forgot if thats a base game or Road to 56 feature

[fresh cedar]

In that case you must’ve died

[fresh cedar]

Nah they must’ve capitulated you

[vast shore]

It shouldnt end

aomwtimes theres an end screen but you should be able to continue

just save

ans load it via safe

[quasi harbor]

I think my longest run was until 1962

With 19M dead on my side, 90M dead on the Allied side and 84M dead on the Soviet side

[echo olive]

they tend to do regions rather than the politics

[jolly wasp]

I have 3 bug reports in the forum from August. Why haven’t they been responded to?

[pseudo wing]

If you meant to write bug reports I'm not the one who answers those but the team does check them when they can.

Depending on what was reported they could also be duplicates

If you meant big reports in terms of moderation I don't handle moderation on the forums

[jolly wasp]

Sorry not big, bug

Typo

[jolly wasp]

Also please end the debate, (I was having it viciously with @polar jasper and @brittle venture yesterday. Is Mengjiang more Chinese or Mongolian, and if it is more Chinese, why isn’t it getting a unique/warlord tree in ‘no compromise, no surrender’? @pseudo wing

[polar jasper]

Please dont bring me into this again

[jolly wasp]

What time is it where you are?

[polar jasper]

You called a mod an idiot when they tried to help someone

[jolly wasp]

It wasn’t a mod and I apologised!

[pseudo wing]

It's 9pm for me here, and I wake up at 6 for work so I'm already in bed, however as to your question, I sadly do not have an answer, as I'm neither an expert on Asia in general nor am I the person who decides what content is made.

Though usually with big DLC like this there are countries with priority, and some have more information making it easier to research/ Implement

[jolly wasp]

Fair

But the time was for jonno

[pseudo wing]

Perhaps in the future it could be looked at but of course that's not a promise

During the war efforts I tend to prioritize bug reports that I can find that are smaller to fix (think typos in text and incorrect models being used) But if I remember correctly some focuses were fixed/altered as well

So who knows

[hollow coral]

Shouldnt get a warlord tree

A unique tree would be ideal but not necessary

It was probably also more han but it was governed mainly by mongols

[vast shore]

Isn't this an inherently political question lol

[tender roost]

i did see one of those messages

but i dont understand why

like i wasnt zoning out or anything no troops were even close to the us

[wise oxide]

diary today perhaps?

[coral drift]

Usually it would be on Thursday

*the alternative day

[wise oxide]

thats stream day

[fresh cedar]

You don’t get a message like that every time if you’re on Ironman.

[tender roost]

i just dont understnad how i capitulated with no foreign troops on any of my land

[fresh cedar]

Civil war

[brittle venture]

ah yes

if 2 tags are the same ideology theres an event to reunify

you mustve said yes to it

or lost the civil war

regardless this is a bit "janky" as in it usually goes to the cosmetic tag instead of original tag

[tender roost]

its a shame cuz i was having fun

i had stockpiled like 50 nukes

[safe trail]

tommorow then dev diary

[vast shore]

@pseudo wing Can you teaser the release for the next dev diary, pretty please 😋

[inland bloom]

😂

damn chak answers instant

[vast shore]

Im so glad they went through all the important stuff

[brittle venture]

Stop begging, it wont get you anything

Some professional advice here

[vast shore]

Eh

I personally don't mind

[brittle venture]

People usually grow apprehension/dislike towards you over such behaviours though, which isn't in your best interest i imagine.

[vast shore]

So over

[steep nest]

[dense gale]

a man can beg

😭

[fossil torrent]

Have any streamers gotten ahold of this yet and playing

[tepid oxide]

15 days till dlc

[coral drift]

My hope is that Swinceball or Bitt3rSteel would play the Philippines

[hushed lion]

What is there even to tease?

[echo olive]

When the next dev corner will be released?
You guys know?

[echo olive]

Machiavellianstrategist test it, he said it in a portugal video

[winged jetty]

The only things left are the Philippines and the faction rework(and maybe the navy rework)

[hushed lion]

Exactly my point, they already shower the Philippines pretty much and it has been confirmed that the next dev diary is the Philippines

[drifting star]

Brodies please just stop being dumb

They will release it when they do

[hushed lion]

And even when they do it's not like all to much will have changed

[wise oxide]

post war korea and accurate peacedeal is my wish

[hollow coral]

They said the alt his was still very WIP so it definitely has changed not do we know what most focuses do

[sharp spade]

It would be kinda funny to become a pirate nationa

[dapper lotus]

There is only 3 dev diaries left (last one will be achievements and artwork like usually a couple days before release). And we still haven’t seen Philippines in full detail and the factions system so those will most likely be the other two

[stable tusk]

There's also only 2 weeks left before the DLC comes out so the achievements and artwork could be on the Wednesday before the DLC comes out

[fresh cedar]

I think the faction one is this week considering they said the faction one will be on a future stream/diary during the last stream

[polar jasper]

One of my first games will be the Communist Navy Philippines

Because of the naval bonuses they get

[coral drift]

Still holding out for hope to a Second Commonwealth focus tree

[heavy bolt]

what about navy?

[ebon storm]

I’m still full vanilla

[vast shore]

Dev Diaries to come will prob be

1. Philippines
2. Faction, Coal, Doctrine rework and naval rework
3. Artwork, achievement and patchlist

[hushed lion]

And achievements

[vast shore]

added 👍

also they might include naval with the philippines

[wise oxide]

today we better get diary + stream

early too

[full light]

🔪 🪓 ➡️➡️➡️⚰️⚰️⚰️

[hushed lion]

Huh

[cosmic falcon]

They already did a dev diary on Doctrine rework.

[wise oxide]

ty ty ty ty

diary better include everything

only 2 weeks left

[hasty vessel]

The devs have summoned us🇵🇭⚠️

[coral drift]

Aww yeah

[brittle venture]

different tech tree based on path looks interesting

[safe trail]

monarchist Phillipiens yessssssssssss

[dapper lotus]

Philippines looks so good

National spirits go crazy though holy debuffs

[hushed lion]

Peak portrait

[vast shore]

Yippie

Question about Warlords asked

[lofty heron]

Philippines looks cool

I do have some concerns with how they're handling characters tho

I'm not sure how I feel about MacArthur actually being a Philippine unit leader

[coral drift]

Especially a certain Elias Fuentes

[lofty heron]

I know it's technically more historically accurate but it makes me wonder how it will work with the already existing USA content

[cosmic falcon]

Hirohito is still the starting leader of Japan. Am I missing something here?

[lofty heron]

sorry idk who that is 😅

[lofty heron]

could be a screencap from an old build

[vast shore]

We cloned MacArthur

[frosty oak]

Everyone thought we were spared from a Philippine world conquest meme path

They were wrong

No doubt we finna see the Filipino-Spaniard Hyper Empire and a new achievement called the Sunset Sunset Invasion

[lofty heron]

oh boy I can't wait for yet another world conquest achievement

[frosty oak]

(Honestly sounds pretty cool, but I know there’s gonna be a lot of no fun allowed people complaining)

[lofty heron]

I don't intrinsically have a problem with it, it's just a pain in the arras for me cus my PC isn't too good and my game seriously chugs in the later years

[frosty oak]

Me about to buy a brand new computer in the next couple months

[lofty heron]

I like achievements that point to a specific aim rather than just "conquer the world"

[frosty oak]

I cant wait to see how that newest apple silicon runs hoi4, as I understand, they are great for processing, which is exactly what hoi needs

[lofty heron]

I heard that apple are notoriously bad at making gaming computers. but I guess that might just be PC propaganda

either way I'm windows till I die

[frosty oak]

I’m finally abandoning windows because I hate them and am leaving the abusive relationship, but I’m too scared of Linux because my brain is smooth, so I saw that every single game I play runs native on Mac so that’s what I’m going with

[lofty heron]

I am a soldier of Bill Gates

[frosty oak]

Bill gates left the fight long ago, now you are a soldier of techbro share holders who are addicted to ketamine 💀

So much AI 💀 💀 💀

Not that Apple is too much better anyway, but like I said, smooth brain, Linux makes me scared

[lofty heron]

well whatever it doesn't really matter

I have an iPhone

[frosty oak]

Same

[lofty heron]

anyway so the Philippines huh

[frosty oak]

Hyped

Very hyped

Honestly, I’m at this point more excited for the next DLC, I wanna see Australia and Siam

[lofty heron]

I have some doubts but Mordred Viking is the content designer and he always pulls through the top quality stuff

we are soldiers of Mordred Viking

[frosty oak]

He always does the best fr

[pastel flume]

Maybe it was an older build?

[polar bronze]

philippines looks solid

[sonic gale]

nofunchads keep complaining

[frosty oak]

I’m conflicted, I like fun, like Argentina’s path to becoming Germany, but I also don’t like fun, like the EITC

[peak flame]

Hah! I appreciate that 😄

[steep stump]

will the new doctrine system be in base game?

[thick edge]

Yes

[misty portal]

Yes, it's very stupid

Worst change in the dlc

[steep stump]

why? at least you dont have to deticate a research slot on dovtrines like the pre 1.11 system

[misty portal]

One side has full doctrine while the other one doesn't??????

[coral drift]

Btw, does Tan Malaka have a proper leader portrait for NCNS or it would be for TaoG?

Same with Sergio Osmeña

[misty portal]

Yes the current system is fine as it is

Im saying that they shouldn't change it but it's too late

[steep stump]

just stick with 1.16

[misty portal]

No everyone should be allowed to play the newest version without cancer

[steep stump]

play with mods wich bring back the curent doctrine system when ncns comes out

[frozen kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/philippines-love-scream-if-you-love-asia-gif-3990861330094895111

[steep stump]

also will the new chinese historical tree(s) be in base game?

[waxen axle]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[lofty heron]

did they integrate Waking The Tiger into base yet? if so then I think yes

[steep stump]

hungary also dint get the historical tree from gdr despit the original tree being integrated

[hushed lion]

They had ages ago

[lofty heron]

really? did they just keep the old DoD tree?

[steep stump]

yes

[lofty heron]

That’s pretty nutty icl lol

[steep stump]

but hungary isnt that important of a country anyways(at least historicly)

[vast shore]

They gonna blow

None of the Country expansion passes ever made me happy

can we see new usa stuff that was changed to work with new japan,china,philippines and the dlc

[hushed lion]

They are gonna be peak, you just have poor taste

[misty portal]

Again shouldn't have to play mods so I can play bad dlc I paid for

[peak flame]

No, just advisor portraits in NCNS

[rocky escarp]

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/no-compromise-no-surrender-expansion-pass-2.1860067/post-30761718

It's a little different with DoD tree, but they have a playable historical narrative without the DLC, and we haven't then taken anything away from DoD purchasers. To 'solve' that, we'd have to somehow mesh the DoD alt-history with the historical content from GTD, and frankly that would just be weird.

Not really looking forward to the possibility that Peace for Our Time will provide nothing for basegame Czecho-Slovakia but whatever

[brittle venture]

its a minor dlc / optional content regardless

[hollow lion]

Will have to see next year

[brittle venture]

just like BftB, ToA and the last dlc (im a bit forgetful rn) it doesnt add anything to the base game in terms of national content

[hollow lion]

GoE?

[inland bloom]

i have high expectations for it

[brittle venture]

yeah GoE

[polar jasper]

Updated national focus icons like they did with GDR maybe

[rocky escarp]

Yes, they update the icons once in GDR and then twice-over in PfOT

what is a PfOT

[brittle venture]

POT for short

[harsh hull]

Kid named No Compromise, No Surrender:

[fresh cedar]

Yeah, I really liked the content he’s done

He gained like 500 social credit when he gave the Fal a wooden stock 😌

[drifting star]

So what’s the max cores for Philippines ? Do they get South America cores

[winter tartan]

Idk about South America but they can core Spain

[harsh hull]

The "Join the Comitern" focus simply titled "Comitern"

I don't know exactly how often that one comes up in past focus trees, but it FEELS like a quintessential part of Paradox DLCs

[pastel flume]

No guns for you

I like how Alphonso isn't the king of philipines cause he dies in 1941 like how when he is French king he is immortal

[stable tusk]

We must say No Compromise and No Surrender, as the Thunder at our Gates grows louder we must secure Peace in our Time

[fading walrus]

excellent

[ebon crescent]

yo
quick question real fast
whats the meta tank division
and meta tank
can anyone tell me

[drifting star]

I can’t wait to see how factions are reworked for Iraq and such

Like they have the Arabia faction , imagine being able to integrate them all

Or for South America being able to unite them all as chile

[echo blade]

Make sure to have tank battalions

[floral anvil]

Wrong chat

[vast shore]

Lol

[ebon crescent]

whats better medium or heavy

[coral drift]

I hope not, especially on the Indies, i hope the plausible stuffs are added there first before the wacky ones

[coral drift]

Ah, okay. Please don't forget to add Osmena as possible country leader too.

[coral drift]

Hopefully that would be mutually-exclusive with Malay World as envisaged by Jose Rizal

[winter tartan]

It would make sense

[outer whale]

Wilhelm also immortal

If you ignite german civil war as

Netherlands

Or actually not because I recall him dying after sometime later

[steep dawn]

depends on context i believe but heavy in general i thinnk

[steep dawn]

to get urban assault specialist u need to be fighting in cities right
does it count if i place troops in madrid and attack tiles
or does the tile im clicking need to be a city

[coral drift]

It's actually not. The German Empire dynamic tag still has Wilhelm II dying and replaced by his son

[polar jasper]

He dies when you play Spain. I get Jamie III or whatever when I played as Nationalist Spain

Like went Franco, restored monarchy

[shy wing]

will the dlc, will it also incorporate the philippine flag chaging in times of war?

[hollow coral]

What is the fixation on the philippine war flag

[stable tusk]

Because funny

[signal cargo]

People only want Philippine dlc for flags

Quite sad

Itll be the first good focus tree that plays into oceania

Cant wait for that australia, indonesia, and siam right after

[harsh hull]

Still sad that there's no content for Malaysia (that we know of)

[wise oxide]

where did you come up with that einstein

[signal cargo]

Teahh they totally hopped ober it from indonesia to Siam, would be perfect timing for malaysia to get content too

[signal cargo]

Not serious, multiple people have been talking about flags like its a biggee deal than the map or focus tree

[harsh hull]

How are we supposed to be Together for Victory without Malaysia

[wise oxide]

its just a fun detail people want

nobody actually cares too much

[signal cargo]

Ngl thought malaysia would get content before Australia rework

[signal cargo]

Like i said i wasnt serious

Very curious about the headquarters in the australia dlc

Youtubers mentioned that being a feature in hoi3 but im clueless

[stable tusk]

Hope they get some content with TaoG

[vast shore]

I kinda died a bit on the inside when I saw they were giving them a way of coring spain

[coral drift]

Because it did actually happened 🤷‍♂️

[coral drift]

Hopefully would be hard to obtain
But tbh, the way they used Aguinaldo as a way for non-aligned Spain is nicely plausible

[harsh hull]

I mean, look, is it historically accurate? I don't know

But the Phillipines to Spanish Empire path is exactly the sort of crazy thing you love to see

And hopefully they'll have the chance to at least claim New Spain as well

[brittle venture]

wdym

its only like one of idk 10 nations that core spain faster than spain itself

[harsh hull]

And honestly, the Phillipines are the last nation to get content in ANY of the big mods I know of

So good for them for getting something so funny

[brittle venture]

its also not that OP or anything

oh no theyll be able to get the scary spanish eco

of like 20 civs

[harsh hull]

Filipino navy arrives at Spain

Sees all the damage

"Actually, maybe we keep sailing"

[vast shore]

I hate stupid formables

And old empires reviving themselves

And stupid meme nations

[brittle venture]

just play historical then

[vast shore]

If only vanilla historical was historical

But that aside

I dont mind unhistorical

But it used to be fun

Now its just batshit crazy

Basically Non Hist used to be based on plausibility

Now its more based on whats fun/unique

which might be cool for one country

but sucks as a whole

[brittle venture]

a bit but its not meant to be realistic

and its not like irl follows logic all the time either

[vast shore]

Yeah but it was plausible

And that made it great

[brittle venture]

the spain one is more plausible than like the afghan formables lol

[vast shore]

Yeah and I hate both lol

[brittle venture]

tho likely itd be more like spain annexing philippines

its fine this way imo

[vast shore]

Anyway

that issue aside

I saw a comment under the dev diary advocating for a shared tree

like Belgium and the Congo

For America and The Philippines

I find that a cool idea

[wild spindle]

thank god we got HOI4

gta6 got delayed again

[wise oxide]

how much?

i live for hoi 4 and mods

[coral drift]

Well, ¡Viva Filipina! exist
Same as East Indies Reworked for Dutch East Indies

The real loners are Indochina, Malaya, and Burma

[coral drift]

I hope the fans would be persistent enough to drive the contents this way

[vast shore]

Apparently not

[coral drift]

Which is sad

[vast shore]

[coral drift]

The next best thing is to make the content yourself.

Hence i'm making EIR

[vast shore]

Doesn't work for MP

[coral drift]

Because i swear for the love of God i did not want outlandish stuffs for Indonesia

Indies Nazis seizing power and getting revenge at Japan? Neat (it was in their IRL manifesto)

Sukarno allying with Adolf Hitler? Hell naw (Sukarno hates Hitler)

[hollow coral]

really hope the b team will be monitered on the bs they may be doing (if they are making Taog)

[wild spindle]

november 2026

funny how in may 2025 they said it's delayed to may 2026

and they do the same in november

[wise oxide]

it releases the day we are too old to play

[wild spindle]

real

buying gta 5 for ps3 in 2013 : sorry kid you need a parent to buy this game
buying gta 6 on pc in 2050 : cash or card grandpa ?

[wise oxide]

as a kid we tought gta 6 would come with ps4

😭

[wild spindle]

damn 😭 what a fancy dream

[wise oxide]

[wild spindle]

at this rate gta7 will release on the ps8 when we will be 80 years old

bro

[wise oxide]

and it will be ai generated

[wild spindle]

even better bro

we will have hoi4 on ps6 before gta 6

LMAO

[wise oxide]

but never hoi 5

we need an engine upgrade on hoi 4

a remaster update

[wild spindle]

fr

[wise oxide]

old aah engine

[wild spindle]

on god bro to run gta 6 and hoi5 on pc we would need an RTX 8090X and a 5 petabytes storage as well as a 1TB RAM 🥀

ahhhhhhhhhhh 🥀

[wise oxide]

and a 500MWh powersupply

that is connected to a nuclear powerplant

[wild spindle]

and bro don't even think about playing multiplayer if you don't have a Nasa router

shit has to be 50 GB/s

[wise oxide]

and a private satellite

and a huge mile high radiostation

[wild spindle]

don't forget about the pacific ocean

for the watercooling of the pc

what could we have forgotten to play hoi5

ah yes invading poland as well it's good for the general body health

[thick edge]

GTA6 will come out when the ps8 comes out

[vast shore]

I want the B team to go ham on warlords

China is the perfect (and only place) in which any craziness would make sense

[safe trail]
