Why is Palmas a city in Brazil? It was founded in 1989

[median bronze]

what do u do for the feb 26th incident to do historical

[viral crest]

is the faction thing part of the DLC or is it a free addition

[brittle venture]

palau 🥳

[faint parrot]

[mortal pike]

what do u think lmao, be happy u got doctrines for free

[pseudo beacon]

When do people with the hoi4 subscription get the new dlc?

[viral crest]

doctrines? wich ones

[median bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/alumae-alumaeyy-gubby-gubby-mewing-meme-gif-6805644913242328211

[chrome pelican]

I think…

Yep

[mortal pike]

they reworked entire doctrine system it would be funny if u dont pay for dlc then u have old system

[median bronze]

guys btw try not to be triggered but taiwan is releasable

[mortal pike]

i'm waiting for Beta 1.16.10 drops steam list and i'm not going to update this game to 1,17 lmao

[mystic cypress]

I'm just saying it's what paradox considers the content that is coming to the expansion pass, I think it's a decent price compared to just NCNS (if it's an overall fair price to charge for DLC is completely different question, but i'd say in comparison to just the single DLC the Expansion Pass is decently priced, this might ofc change in perception dependant on the quality of the stuff they're gonna do)

[spare imp]

Anyone have the issue of the dlc not working?

[mystic cypress]

As ROC or as actual Taiwan? Like as in the indigenous people?

[mortal pike]

for this price DLC you can buy 2 games that were nominated to game of the year bro

[median bronze]

the independent state of taiwan

[viral crest]

us brokies got doctrines, japan focus tree and stuff ALL EXCEPT THE FACTION REWORK WICH IS THE ONLY THING I CARE ABOUT

[tired acorn]

if you own all DLC;s you can get the new DLC from the Big nations bundle for 25

[mortal pike]

you get only historical japan for free, alternative is dlc

[viral crest]

same thing, i want my faction rework

[median bronze]

bro japan has like 30 generals

[mystic cypress]

Did you read what i said, I said that the price in comparison to just the new DLC is decent.
If it's a fair price for DLC in the overall gaming landscape is a completely different question (which I agree it's a bit much)

[drifting star]

Secret paths ?

[fossil torrent]

Sikiang has a much bigger tree than I expected

[mystic cypress]

idk all the northeastern army overview talks about Hitler doing stuff in China

[mortal pike]

nice but this is still more expensive than some GOTa

[floral anvil]

Omg I can’t wait for Cosmetic Pack 2026 Q1. Why is Paradox never dropping DLCs for us 😩

[drifting star]

Any ottomans stuff

[lunar hazel]

why does it crash every 5 seconds

[drifting star]

U prolly have mods or something

[pure schooner]

my game crashed :(

[viral crest]

ottoman empire isnt part of japan or chine....

[tribal stag]

roc, the indigenous people were suppressed to high hell by the Japanese before the roc

[viral crest]

you mean BoB?

[crimson tartan]

okaaaaaay lets goooo

[median bronze]

i think this will do for china invasion

[mortal pike]

good tested DLC bro

[mystic cypress]

Now ima go check on what Hitler's got to do with the Northeastern army

[main shuttle]

It’s so over Italy bros, you get a whole 3 coal

[analog eagle]

anyone got a spare 30 bucks laying around

[mortal pike]

new dlc and again 0 stable patch

and you guys still paid for content

i warned u guys

[drifting star]

The they had a focus referencing an ottoman vassal state

[pseudo wing]

mods or no mods?

[mortal pike]

if you keep paying they wont give u stable quality content

you get what u paid for

[mystic cypress]

It seems to be just a text file mismatch sadly

[viral crest]

what nation.

[median bronze]

i had a sound mod on and roblox fanboys music triggers 💔

[mortal pike]

do i need to remind you Graveyards of Empires?

[viral crest]

https://tenor.com/view/ottoman-ottoman-empire-turkey-love-brock-lesnar-gif-8694961292482461282

[pseudo wing]

probably remove it for now and see if it still crashes

[vast shore]

HOLY

[median bronze]

whats this

[crimson tartan]

what the heeelll

[median bronze]

joint focus

[pseudo wing]

It realistically shouldn't cause a crash but some things were changed in the backend iirc

[vast shore]

Guangdong and Guangxi

[cosmic falcon]

See you all in Thunder at our Gates.

[crimson tartan]

that's how it looks without dlc actually

just saying

if you wonder...

🥺

[median bronze]

attempt 2

[mortal pike]

what if you dont have dlc you get only color change for China? XDDDDDD

[median bronze]

what we thinking - i swear im not a 4500 hour meta player invading china

[crimson tartan]

um....

[mortal pike]

new countries in china are up only if you have DLC? XDDDDDDDD

[median bronze]

clear out ur documents from paradox

[crimson tartan]

no new historical focuses without ncns

[crimson tartan]

oh

alr

[median bronze]

c://documents/paradoxinteractive i believe theres a folder u delete if that happens

maybe chak can clarify

[bitter helm]

I believe only the historical Japan focus was added without the DLC unfortunately

[median bronze]

it happened back in no step back those bugs

[crimson tartan]

bruh no

there's my savegames and mod files

[mortal pike]

you can invade china with bycycle with collab gov finish in november 1938

[crimson tartan]

ain't gonna delete it

[median bronze]

reinstall the game

[velvet bane]

Are the new faction mechanics part of the DLC or can they be accessed with the free update?

[mortal pike]

xDDDDD

[upper kernel]

Where do I find the new faction management stuff

[mortal pike]

https://tenor.com/view/hasbulla-gif-12654501364171447161

[crimson tartan]

dlc

[mortal pike]

nice try

[median bronze]

press six

[mellow creek]

wtf you mean nice try??!!

[median bronze]

wouldn't work like that

[upper kernel]

I meant the files but it seems it's dlc only 👍

[median bronze]

aw man i got the air bug

[mellow creek]

it works for me

[median bronze]

ill just restart the game

[mortal pike]

30/50(expansion pass) Euro DLC paid reminder

[median bronze]

this air bugs been in for years

thought it would be fixed in this dlc...

[mortal pike]

yeah and you keep paying and they refuse to fix it

[median bronze]

yeah i know

[mortal pike]

🤷‍♂️ i just demand some god dammit quality

for money they want

#boycott

[floral anvil]

Why is Hirohito still the Japanese country leader on the country selection screen

[median bronze]

what tiles are rangers good in again btw

[warm plover]

forest

[median bronze]

so use it in the naval invasions

got it

[mortal pike]

and urban

[median bronze]

ill save it for 39

i wont have the cap to use it in china

[median bronze]

oh god it feels weird navy options being moved

[harsh hull]

Blue China is REAL

(I haven't bought NCNS yet)

[median bronze]

ill be taking that thank u

[mystic cypress]

so you can see his portrait rework obv duh

😭

[floral anvil]

Ah my mistake

[median bronze]

is that normal? @pseudo wing no effect on that decision?

[mystic cypress]

knowing japan... how do you think they're getting this expertise 💀

[polar bronze]

how did mengjiang get 3 new unit models but manchuria was left behind

[stable tusk]

💔

[noble bane]

I have a question on the new doctrines (I won't be playing the new update until other mods I play also get updated first)

So in the new doctrines

[median bronze]

wheres my navy headquarters 💔

[noble bane]

I can like

Mix and match different stuff right?

for example

Motorized buffs + battleplan bonus and whatever not that exists

[mystic cypress]

I love that the forbidden city (right on the border) gives you a surrender limit bonus, def gonna be very useful if japan decides to naval invade and conquer all of china before taking beijing 😭

[rocky escarp]

Navy HQs are DLC-locked? 🤨

[mortal pike]

how much is for you Claire Obscure?

[median bronze]

i have dlc

[broken horizon]

hold on they added this before south sudan 😂

[drifting star]

Boys let’s find all the secrets

[broken horizon]

also u need the new dlc to get all new china warlords countries

[stable tusk]

Like $78 but it's on sale for like $64

[mortal pike]

bruh discounted its cheaper than expansion pass 💀

[vast shore]

form chinese united front as CCP
quickly pick short faction goal of member expansion
all war lords join
...
PROFIT

[median bronze]

also when ur not in ur F1 army tab ur units ghost which is good

[harsh hull]

Nobody asked for it, but here you go anyway - all the changed provinces in NCNS

[rocky escarp]

We would have been able to screen this if we had a list of faction goals to analyse

Anyway I look forward to hidden doctrine rebalancing making some very silly division design outcomes

[broken horizon]

also what is this formable mongolia 💔

[median bronze]

mongolia

[harsh hull]

The total population of China minus Mongolia and Tibet is now 10m less than it was before the update

But census data for China is spotty at best before the end of the civil war, so who knows how accurate any population number given in the game is meant to be

And just a quick glance tells me they still haven't fixed Burma's population numbers from the GOE release

They are still missing 6m population, and Paradox will not explain what this means

[median bronze]

Japan has so many ships in construction

[mystic cypress]

Mongolia 🗣️

https://tenor.com/view/mongolian-gif-24685364

[earnest prawn]

How are we feeling about the new dlc

very tempted to get it

[rocky escarp]

What tempts you?

[fossil torrent]

Watching Japanese ai in observer mode they cancel a focus (naval armaments program) and can’t complete the 2 Shokaku class and 2 Yamato class ships. Feel like that shouldn’t happen

[crimson tartan]

sorry but is it supposted to be like this

[mystic cypress]

Was the Republic of Turkic peoples in the game before the dlc

[vast shore]

Hwo to see faction manifest?

[fossil torrent]

Lmao and UK invaded and took over Italian mainland in 1941

[primal crown]

i restarted my game and it fixed

[crimson tartan]

i restarted both the game and steam, verified files and nothing

[fossil torrent]

Japan ai having a rough go 🤣

[crimson tartan]

at least i got japanese focus tree

[vast shore]

Where to see the new faction manifest fulfillment

[broken horizon]

its aint even greater mongolia if its only that they could atleast add that they can get more cores but u only get 20 cores and 12 mil core pop with this

[mystic cypress]

can u not expand it?

[broken horizon]

no

[mystic cypress]

Also

[broken horizon]

u only get max 20 cores with this

[jovial furnace]

I think us f2p players only get the japanese hist branch and nothing else, I was hoping for some china additions aswell...

[mystic cypress]

I just saw you don't even get cavalry boost 💔

[broken horizon]

they could do the same thing like arabia atleast ngl

[crimson tartan]

NOOOOOOOO
CHINA IS MY FAVORITE COUNTRY IN ASIA
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

😭

ok i'm now reinstalling the game

i hope
that dear pdx will decide to add historical chinese focus tree at the base game

[mystic cypress]

ig 🤷

[crimson tartan]

devs got about 10 minutes 😡

[spiral hamlet]

does looking at fasc china tree crash anyone else?

[vast shore]

found the first thin that sucks

[jovial furnace]

Hang on... players without the dlc are supposed to have the old faction system? Like I can't see the button for it at all.

[harsh hull]

Yeah, that's a DLC feature

[mystic cypress]

btw if you go into opposition as a chinese warlord (haven't tested communist/nationalist) you get the old focus tree

[harsh hull]

Not a free update feature

[jovial furnace]

I thought this was supposed to be a universal mechanic like the doctrines

[crimson tartan]

well the button is there
it just does nothing

i mean
just creates a faction
that's all

just like it was before

[median bronze]

the UI scaling needs fixing for doctorines

[jovial furnace]

Can't believe they were this greedy again

[crimson tartan]

hold on
i need to see if they added historical focuses for china

[harsh hull]

You can't believe the feature they developed for a paid DLC and that they announced was for a paid DLC, is locked behind a paid DLC?

[crimson tartan]

if these are also behind the paywall i will riot

[harsh hull]

It's just so peak

I kneel

[mystic cypress]

idk if there's anything i missed but this should be peak sinkiang all cores

[rocky escarp]

What the hell?
So you have to buy NCNS, then La Résistance for the espionage integration

Lunacy

[polar bronze]

what are the names for the other ideologies

[mystic cypress]

I think it's the biggest possible former warlord state with that

[unborn turret]

Can you put the children back in the coal mines for greater coal extraction efficiency?

[harsh hull]

Again, espionage? The feature developed for LaR and that they said would require LaR to use?

[fresh lichen]

where can i see the new faction mechanics?

in the game

[mystic cypress]

You can technically also form the PRC as this so the same territory but prc (although without any of the new content)

the color's nice imo

jade-ish

[fresh lichen]

anyone?

[crimson tartan]

bro i just can't get it
why they said both alt and historical japanese focuses are part of the ncns
and for other countries they just said new focuses (without clarification about alt and hist focuses)
who the hell wrote this patch note GODDAMIT

[mystic cypress]

yeah that threw me off but i assume it's because of having DLC/not having it

[edgy tapir]

what does coal do?

[harsh hull]

There's the faction mechanics menu button by the by

[edgy tapir]

by the by

[crimson tartan]

nah, i just reinstalled the game
verified game files
reopened the steam
and still no focuses for china

[edgy tapir]

which one

there is like 20 now

[crimson tartan]

it is either a bug or you know that word

[mystic cypress]

do you have DLC?

[crimson tartan]

no

[craggy hornet]

i dont have the dlc and im finding it extremely funny what the game now looks like

[crimson tartan]

i should have at least new **historical **focus tree

i got new focuses for japan
but not for china

[harsh hull]

I don't believe you get the historical tree for China without the DLC

Don't recall that ever being mentioned as part of the deal

[crimson tartan]

that's just ... hm let me find the right word

[craggy hornet]

i mean it makes for some epicly funny screenshots

[rocky escarp]

nooooooooooooooooooooo

[fervent prairie]

Why does France get so much Coal here? Was it not a thing where they lacked coal IRL?

[harsh hull]

That doesn't mean they didn't have ANY

[languid imp]

nagumo as admiral OMG

[fervent prairie]

I am aware. But 54 coal doesn't seem like little

[harsh hull]

If you look at Germany, they 6x as much of the stuff around the map

[mystic cypress]

it's always just the major country

[crimson tartan]

i'm gonna cry

china is my favorite country actually

all i need is just historical focuses

😭

[mystic cypress]

understandable

Glory to the CPC 🗣️ 🇨🇳

[tribal stag]

Finally someone gets their name right

[mystic cypress]

it's actually right ingame too

[harsh hull]

+10 credits

[mystic cypress]

One thing i appreciate

[tribal stag]

I mean in general westerners call it the wrong name

[median bronze]

whats the optimal combat width if ur using cheaper stuff

[mystic cypress]

i noticed

[harsh hull]

Man, look at all those flags

[merry wharf]

when will MTG be free

[mystic cypress]

Anyways i hope for an overhaul for this sometime down the line

[rocky escarp]

isn't this where the USA's navy HQ is?

[harsh hull]

Already is, friend

[merry wharf]

how

where to get

[harsh hull]

You don't

It's already installed

[merry wharf]

oh ok

[mystic cypress]

honolulu and norfolk

[mystic cypress]

nah i think you have to add the DLC which is free now to your library actually

[crimson tartan]

you can add buffs to china
but you can't get the historical focus tree right

😡

[harsh hull]

Well, I wouldn't know, I already had MTG before the integration

[mystic cypress]

Oh wait

[vast shore]

Total supply death

[mystic cypress]

They removed the dlc from steam

So yeah it should be basegame

[jovial furnace]

Are haval HQs dlc exclusive? Only naval supply hubs are free?

[mystic cypress]

It still was there when i looked directly before the dlc launch lol

[median bronze]

ts so easy

[harsh hull]

Yeah, they announced that MtG's integration would happen same day as NCNS's release

Right then, time to flip off historical mode and let the game run for a while

See what the various AI get up to

[slow spindle]

Still havent got it even with subscription

[mystic cypress]

trueeeeeeeeeeee

I'd love for a higher possible game speed in observer mode honestly

but probably not gonna be really possible whilst also keeping the normal gamespeed available

[bitter helm]

Has anyone found out if warlords get a special tree when they proclaim a rival government?

[mystic cypress]

or like unneccasarily annoying to implement for a honestly extremely niche use

[mystic cypress]

it looks like the old prc tree

Or atleast that's what it was for Sinkiang

Probably depends on your ideology which one you get

[mystic cypress]

(it has soviet/agrarian instead of maoist/coalition or whatever it was paths tho)

[harsh hull]

But how do we form the Silk Road Empire now?

[hushed lion]

I was right kumul is a releaseable not a generic tag

[crimson tartan]

bro

you can unlock all focuses for free

[rocky escarp]

Imagine being a new player going into HOI IV from the free weekend and encountering the dumbass basegame faction system

That's how stupid gating the faction rework behind DLC is

Do better

[mystic cypress]

DAMN

Communist china starts on service by requirement

That wasn't the case before or am i tripping?

[crimson tartan]

just delete this and replace 0 with 1000

lmao

[turbid furnace]

What does the support ship actually do?

[mystic cypress]

They also got more advisors than there are people in tannu tuva

[harsh hull]

Yeah, players could always do that

And then they complain when the focus trees that rely on features that require that DLC to use crashes the game

[hushed lion]

The new trade screen is ugly

Taiwan releaseable

Peak

[bold reef]

How is the new dlc so far?

[harsh hull]

Alright, nothing too major on this nonhistorical run yet, just your standard stuff

German Civil War, Russian Civil War, etc.

[median bronze]

ez

[mystic cypress]

Seems useful for japan

[bold reef]

Guys how is the new DLC is it good or bad

[mystic cypress]

they are addicted fr

[harsh hull]

Geez, give it more than an hour for people to decide

[median bronze]

im just gonna say---

[hushed lion]

Lmao substance abuser trait

[hushed lion]

Looking great in my opinion

[harsh hull]

Alright, so far in this non-historical run, we've had a German Civil War that led to a Red Germany

A failed communist uprising in Finland

The restoration of the monarchy in Brazil

[median bronze]

usa cooked

[harsh hull]

And a Princely uprising that only managed to take half of Pakistan, and is still calling itself Hindu

[median bronze]

that was like dead easy to play japan wtf

[fickle torrent]

China is so much harder now

And japan is really really easy

[median bronze]

yeah wayyy too debuffed

[harsh hull]

Historically accurate China

[fickle torrent]

I started late 1937

China died start 1938

Its a joke

[harsh hull]

Speaking of which

(Poor indicator, this was on non-historical)

[fickle torrent]

Wait they died to ai japan

[median bronze]

so how do i core china in the new dlc

[fickle torrent]

In 1938?

[harsh hull]

Non-historical is funny like that

They only had half the united front

And Sichuan wasn't in it

[fickle torrent]

It still doesnt happen that fast before dlc

[harsh hull]

No Chongqing to fall back to for VPs

[fickle torrent]

Yea

No chongqing is ez win

[mystic cypress]

damn

[fickle torrent]

Even with collab

With collaboration you reach shanghai and bam dead

[mystic cypress]

Manchu got a lot more content than i expected

[open vault]

bro

its almost 1:1

wit the old tree

[quasi harbor]

It's the same

[mystic cypress]

i don't remember having all of these options

[crimson tartan]

hmmmm
not that bad

[harsh hull]

The old Manchu focus tree for context

Notice how there's less of it

[crimson tartan]

mmmm yeah...

[drifting star]

💀

People complain too damn much

[mystic cypress]

hasn't waking the tiger been in basegame for ages

[merry wharf]

can i go back to the old UI

[mystic cypress]

bro really took his time to be mad abt it

[median bronze]

um thought there was no carrier overcrowding anymore??? @pseudo wing

[quasi harbor]

They could at least made the new faction system free

[drifting star]

Have there been any secret paths found

[merry wharf]

is this game supposed to be a bit realistic

[drifting star]

I buy dlc for the secrets imma be honest

[quasi harbor]

Base game factions are so broken

[merry wharf]

the new faction shit is bugged

[cyan venture]

well dah obliviously at release there be bugs

[merry wharf]

omg the longest word in engliush is here

[harsh hull]

It's always the worst part of a DLC launch cycle

The people who apparently have never heard of DLC before complaining about it

[mystic cypress]

it's probably a mix of bugs and it being a new feature that people don't know their way around with too well

[merry wharf]

yeah

[harsh hull]

Damn, Japan's cooking this game

A bit annoying that they apparently went historical in my non-historical game, but fair enough, I should have set them to completely random

[mystic cypress]

that's what i did and smh germany stayed fascist 💔

[merry wharf]

it changed again

[mystic cypress]

Japan is going communist or democratic tho (not at the decision point yet)

[wispy turret]

anyone have any clue on how the sakdalista exile thing works

[mystic cypress]

Collective Leadership or smth idk

[merry wharf]

wow

hitler allies with communism

[quasi harbor]

Do you have the new dlc?

[merry wharf]

no

[quasi harbor]

Well then you are unfortunately stuck with the broken faction system

[mystic cypress]

Communist Sweden moment

[quasi harbor]

Which honestly should have been part of the basegame

[merry wharf]

yes

[quasi harbor]

Because fixing broken systems shouldn't be dlc locked

[merry wharf]

what no

the new faction system came without the dlc

didnt it

[harsh hull]

No

[drifting star]

Question where would you find the game files for the focus trees

[tough stratus]

Game crashes if germany goes civil war path and someone looks at the china tree "Seek western cooperation" focus crashes it

[quasi harbor]

No, they greedied out on that one for some reason

[bright hill]

common\national focus

[quasi harbor]

But released the doctrines for everyone

[faint parrot]

which do you take in the 23 thing for japan if you want facist

[quasi harbor]

Personally should have been the other way around

Because at least old doctrines worked

[mystic cypress]

I was like that's a bit too OP before i remembered infantry hard attack is low af

[hollow lodge]

Got a question, am trying to host MP and all of us but one friend got in. He validated his game files, restarted his pc, ... . Is on the right version, no mods, ... . But he keeps timing out. Worked for everybody else, when he got into the lobby once all other players weren't shown and he could not ready up?

[mystic cypress]

Was this name always that long

[thick edge]

No

[mystic cypress]

I'm not too well versed in MP but may it be an issue with connection? Like speed or just ping?

[hushed lion]

Is it just me or is the map brighter than usual

[karmic ferry]

s-six seven..?

[mystic cypress]

What came in the free patch

[mystic cypress]

omfg these naval zone outlines are bright af 😭

[floral anvil]

Yunnan is no longer on the country selection screen when you boot up a new game

[mystic cypress]

Gotta love the AI and their perfect Army Organization

[dark roost]

Tuchaevsky can handle it

[mystic cypress]

this is the 12 armies btw

[smoky atlas]

every man an army

[mystic cypress]

all on area defense with 3 divisions each

[mystic cypress]

seems like that's their core principle

[smoky atlas]

fulfilling huey long's dream...

[hushed lion]

Damn what doctrine do I do

[mystic cypress]

isn't he supposed to be in the phillipines

Did the US AI immediately recall him 😭

Oh this is gonna be fun when you play phillipines

OHHHH

he only get's there through a focus

makes sense

Still I feel the US AI will just recall him in the worst possible moment lmao

UK WHAT ARE WE DOING 😭

they made an entire army for every single division lmao

The AI needs tweaks desperately 😭

oh ok they found a naval dominance trick tho

[mystic cypress]

They saw their population numbers and they used them lmao

[wise oxide]

lmao what

but omg the update and dlc are peak best oat imo

[mystic cypress]

Great mengkukuo empire 🗣️

[wise oxide]

the theatre stuff is peac bc you have use for more generals

[wise oxide]

sabotaging allies

[drifting star]

All my iron man compatible map mods are broken now 💀💀

[mystic cypress]

is it that or is it just them doing a pro gamer move

[mystic cypress]

i mean yeah there's a good bunch of map changes

[graceful canopy]

is there a problem with Hirohito's picture?

[mystic cypress]

He kinda looks like he had a stroke icl

[mystic cypress]

you mean on the interesting countries overview screen?

Or ingame?

[graceful canopy]

both

[graceful canopy]

wts wrong with bro

[mystic cypress]

I heard smth about there being some gimmick with his chin

[vast shore]

wtf is the ai doing?

[agile trellis]

so... they made and update of a dlc that was already on sale?

[mystic cypress]

Japan civil war has multiple sides, interesting

[mystic cypress]

Waking the tiger hasn't been on sale for ages

[narrow nymph]

is coal and energy DLC-only or are they part of the base game}?

[mystic cypress]

whatever it likes apparently 😭

Not in that part so i assume it is base game

[vast shore]

🤨

[thick edge]

This AI appears to be way dumber

[mystic cypress]

i love this portrait lol

[earnest prawn]

Is NCNS worth it so far?

I'm hearing bad things about changes to ground combat

[marble plaza]

How to get Empress as leader of Japan?

[fresh cedar]

Idek what’s meta anymore

[thick edge]

We can finally do whatever we want 🥳

[marble plaza]

Already found the video about secret (2 focuses) Buddhist-Communism path for Japan.

[mystic cypress]

secret?

[fresh cedar]

Idk my divisions don’t seem to be doing anything against the japanese

[thick edge]

My Buddhist freind will love it

[fresh cedar]

Late game Japanese army buffs may be too strong

[thick edge]

Bloat?

[thick edge]

U have the link?

[mystic cypress]

Isn't this just this

I saw it from the beginning of the game

[mystic cypress]

Oh no the Ainu one appeared after the civil war started

[hushed lion]

There probably is some hidden focuses that appear later on

[burnt sail]

Doesnt seem that op tbh

[hushed lion]

I love how ncns killed meta

Peak dlc 100/10

[mystic cypress]

Supply consumption +10% will kill me i already know it

+20% infantry attack is tuff tho icl

[hushed lion]

Seems pretty normal

[marble plaza]

No. Additional 2 hidden focuses. First give you additional bonus for 1% recruitable population, the second give you unique formable Buddhist country

[mystic cypress]

oh damn do you get cores?

[hushed lion]

"The pure land"

[hollow coral]

This is a hidden path i can get behind

[mystic cypress]

Sounds like fascism icl 😭

wym i buyed it

We need to be pure 😠

This DLC became free and was later integrated into the base game post Patch 1.14.3[1] on 2024-03-21.

https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Waking_the_Tiger

[narrow nymph]

it's kind of hidden

I thought there would be some UI icon displaying energy production/consumption

but it's only on the tooltips

[drifting star]

Any hidden focuses for China

[open vault]

"TOA is too op"

25%

[vast shore]

@pseudo wing I do not know where else to put it so I throw this bug towards you lol

[hushed lion]

peak change

[crimson tartan]

Ideology drift defence +100%

yeah.....

[open vault]

it gets worse

[hushed lion]

Gotta make Philippines playable somehow

[median bronze]

so how does the new carrier limit work

[minor wyvern]

hello, so I just started playing in the new update as japan and I finished marco polo incident focus, not only did no war start but I somehow skipepd to secure china?

[wispy peak]

The issue that occurs is the fact this is fine for the PHILIPINES specifically but when they can effectively just go "Im spain now" for free and core a ton including the two very rich resource areas below them.

[minor wyvern]

and in the same time a faction was created for some reason?

is that a glitch?

[wispy peak]

It stacks up to make them insane

[wispy peak]

I would take that to #ask-for-help-here as more people actively monitor it and provide help

[minor wyvern]

thanks

[open vault]

it legit cores all of the spanish empire and austronesia+southeastasia

the spanish part is free

[wise oxide]

thank you paradox the way coal works is better than i could ever imagine

[open vault]

bro its so bad

it ruins the gameplay of minors

[wise oxide]

been waiting for this since 1945

[wise oxide]

no`? they get 10 free base energy

[open vault]

👁️ you know alot of the minors have very low max cores

and the way this works

[wise oxide]

oh no a bum tribe cant buy the world

[open vault]

they are gonna be enslaved

[wise oxide]

good

realistic and balanced

[misty portal]

finland has no coal

[open vault]

realistic?

r u kidding?

[wise oxide]

you invade people thats the solution

[misty portal]

removing ghost planning is terriblew

[wise oxide]

take resources

[open vault]

phillipines gets spanish empire for free

[misty portal]

are you stupid

[open vault]

but we gotta add coal for realism

[misty portal]

finland in hostorical games has no coal

[wise oxide]

oh no pacifist haiti cant buy all the resources in the world

[wise oxide]

no i just hate op minors

[open vault]

we are gonna give phillipines 220mil gameable cores for almost free but we gotta add coal for realism

r u insnae

[open vault]

🙏

if you like playing like netherlands

this update is ur death

[wise oxide]

good

find allies

[open vault]

this man hates playing minors 💔

[wise oxide]

soloing majors as minors is so painfull to my eyes

[open vault]

👁️

[wise oxide]

i hate that i can easily solo ussr as finland

[open vault]

for a fin

u really hate finland surviving

[wise oxide]

just give finland ai a bigger army and they will be fine

[open vault]

👁️ do u think parascam did that

[wise oxide]

now they have a gap on the leningrad border

[wise oxide]

thats why road to 56 exists

but coal makes late game mega industry less op

can we aggree its peak?

i hate when i feel like i dont even need to try as usa

[open vault]

no

it ruins it for smaller nations

it essentially has made playing minors hell

[wise oxide]

omg france come on its mid 1948

[wise oxide]

then u wrong and i enjoy my victory and annex you

[median bronze]

struggling with how to gain naval dominance

[open vault]

ok unc we get it u only likee majors

[open vault]

well

patrol using subs/destroyers

and death stack strike

usually works

[open vault]

why r u actually using small navy task forcees

if u meet one british task force ur dead

[median bronze]

i got 2 spotter ships, deathstack strike force

and 20 patrols

[fresh cedar]

Idk man, 36 combat width seems dead

[open vault]

your spotter ships look abit too much

[median bronze]

yeah i just used 2 spotting cruisers but my naval dominance wont go past 0

strike force doesn't seem to get it up

[wise oxide]

and you like...oh

[open vault]

well i am a minor

if you catch my drift

[open vault]

there is a new value system i think

i havent played wit thee new navy yet

just focus tree testing

[wise oxide]

ok im white peaceing you

but if you are good you love the challenge

like frfr

[dusk mist]

They literally said that it affects more powerful nations more

It has a much smaller effect on minors

[open vault]

rn if u play most nations ur gonna keep hitting a defecit

this is gonna mean more civies paying for coal

civies ur paying to mega states

like ussr

who have the coal

[teal vine]

Add more coal to Italy, the country go nerfed to death

[open vault]

see what i mean

italy is a major too

[teal vine]

ye

[dusk mist]

Yes, and that deficit hurts you way less if you already are not very powerful

[open vault]

the baltics straight up have no coal and italy has 2

[dusk mist]

Your point being?

[open vault]

your gonna have to sacrafice ur civies

which u dont have alot of

and u arnt strong enough

to invade ur neighbours

imagine playing baltics now

[dusk mist]

You are aware that the Baltics are ridiculously overpowered right

[open vault]

its gonna be actual hell

[open vault]

👁️

only lithuania

[dusk mist]

Frankly it's ridiculous that any of them can reach that level of power so easily

Playing a minor is fun because it's a challenge

You don't fix anything by making them easy mode

[open vault]

yes but that doesnt mean the devs gotta hurt it even more

they already buffed alot of majors

[dusk mist]

Majors are majors

Duh

Minors aren't meant to be on the same power level

Or be able to compete

[open vault]

imagine ur playing denmark

u already have almost no resources

no civies

and now u gotta pay for all ur resources and more

[dusk mist]

If I am playing Denmark i am not expecting to get free stuff

[open vault]

👁️

dawg

[dusk mist]

I chose to play as Denmark

[open vault]

thats not what this argument is about

when has denmark ever been as strong as germany

!?!?!?!?!?!

[dusk mist]

You want them to give Denmark ahistorical free coal to make it easier?

[open vault]

we arguing about not nerfing minors and your saying minors are equal to majors

[dusk mist]

Just play on a lower difficulty if it's too hard

[faint parrot]

first impression on the update

[open vault]

or or

dont add coal

[dusk mist]

Because it would make the game harder?

[open vault]

oil is already a plague

[dusk mist]

Just play on lower difficulty

[dusk mist]

Yeah i mean it's called resource management

[open vault]

👁️

[dusk mist]

It's not meant to be easy

[neat mountain]

just go back a patch

the newest isnt good so

[misty portal]

sure but 0 coal literally makes you do nothing ape

[dusk mist]

This is like people complaining about uk ai getting buffed

[faint parrot]

without oil you could get way more factorys

[dusk mist]

"oh no i can't beat uk with 0 effort"

Too hard

[open vault]

i dont think iv heard that

uk isnt hard to beat

r u mutted

[faint parrot]

ul is so dumb

[dusk mist]

No it's very easy

But people complained like hell when they buffed the ai

[open vault]

ye

[open vault]

👁️ i dont think anyone on our level of veterency is complaining

its mostly a new player problem

[dusk mist]

The thing is the game isn't very hard

[open vault]

what im talking about rn

[dusk mist]

And even minors aren't hard to play

[open vault]

is this is gonna ruin game play for minor nation

if u play sinkiang rn

which was already hard

its gonna suck alot more

like alot

[faint parrot]

is the new stuff a budd or nerf to china

[dusk mist]

I genuinely think you're wrong here, they explained how it won't affect minors so much

[open vault]

in the past u had to worry about paying for resources with ur 3 factories

[open vault]

ye but with 0 coal

what can u do

[dusk mist]

You can just ignore coal

[open vault]

sir

your not understanding

what im saying

sinkiang

has very low civs

and resources in general

rn u have to expand civ base while paying for multiple different resources with your already low civ count

while prepping to fight china ussr prc and japan depending on path

your not getting the part where this new feature means more civies have to be taken away

from the small pool

whats ur mother tongue maybe in ur language u will finally understand

[craggy orbit]

im new
What in the actual f
What is this

[open vault]

its fine u will never have the old system in ur system to contrast with

[hasty fox]

So how’s the DLC boys?

[quasi harbor]

Bro your cooked, save your wallet while you still can

[open vault]

im thinking we riot at stockholm hq

[craggy orbit]

what the hell is going on with naval
it was ok last update
looked at it - got a stroke or smt

[timber island]

Is it just me or is Japan Showa Restoration kinda boring? I thought I'd be able to go straight for Dutch East Indies, but you pretty much have to wait for WW2 to kick off first... bit lame

[dusk mist]

Very few

Since you have so few

It will have a very small effect

[neat mountain]

not good

[dusk mist]

Load up a game as sinkiang and check what the modifier is from lack of coal

[open vault]

!?!?!?

[open vault]

;-;

no way at game start with 1 mil

u arnt effected yet

insane

i clap for you sar

genuinely a genius

and u blocked me over this too

amazing confidence mental fortitude and inteligence

[dusk mist]

No bruh i had you blocked already no idea why

Probably from months ago

[open vault]

well i just checked

and u where blocked

[dusk mist]

Well yes doesn't mean i did it right now

[open vault]

ok unc i wouldnt know

eitherway once u scale up

the effect hits hard

cause sinkiang doesnt have steel

and u really need guns

[dusk mist]

... That applies to any nation minor or major xd

It applies once you have scaled up

[open vault]

and u have 3 civies

[open vault]

yeah but when ur a major ts doesnt matter

cause ur a major

[dusk mist]

Not once you have scaled up

[open vault]

there is a difference

between italy needing to spend 4 civies

and sinkiang needing to spend 4

[median bronze]

here goes nothing

[open vault]

cause to even hit 9 civies as sinkiang its gonna be like 1938

[dusk mist]

Do you really think you need as much coal for 80 factories as for 20

Are you serious

[median bronze]

what is this joke...

[open vault]

who do u think needs civies more

[craggy orbit]

what is going on with the new american fcous tree
im so confused wth

[open vault]

100 civ 200mil ussr or 20 civ 40 mils sinkiang

[median bronze]

apparently i sent toy planes to pearl

[open vault]

ussr also has one of the most coal reserves

sinkiang has 0

[faint parrot]

🙏

[open vault]

and borders nations with 0

[median bronze]

i spat on pearl harbour like

[wise oxide]

skill issue

[unborn turret]

I just noticed that you can manually add militia to divisions now.

[misty portal]

good joke

[open vault]

ok bro u hate minors its fine

[misty portal]

nice ragebait

[open vault]

we get it

your happy for this dlc because it ruined gameplay for minornations

[misty portal]

i get you dont want 70 mil finland in 41 but this literally locks you at 10 mils

[open vault]

if u play mexico rn its legit ggs

u cant even invade for coal

[wise oxide]

if you have an industry big enought to need more than base 10 energy you are already strong

[median bronze]

whats the instant prepare raid command

[open vault]

there is no where with coal to invade

[wise oxide]

w paradox

[misty portal]

????

[median bronze]

wanna know something funny about coal

[misty portal]

singleplayers with their takes

[wise oxide]

normies are mad chads praise pdx gods

[wise oxide]

yes

[misty portal]

good ragebait

removing fm planning'

[median bronze]

trains in HOI4 run on love and water, ur lucky the devs didn't make trains run on coal...

[misty portal]

smart devs

[median bronze]

otherwise no trains

[open vault]

so 16mils

if u have more than 16 mils ur strong

[wise oxide]

and we are lucky everyone have pety 10 base energy

[open vault]

16 means ur strong

[median bronze]

yup

[open vault]

mexico has 3 coal btw

and its in defecit now

[median bronze]

i would've loved it if they made other things then industry go bad with no coal

[open vault]

this is well over 10 base

[wise oxide]

?

[open vault]

coal defecit with 3 production at 16 mils 2 docks

[wise oxide]

propably a cooked nation pdx said they give deepfried nations smaller coal debuffs

[median bronze]

thats better, free advice u HAVE to make sure ur planes go from ur best carrier

[open vault]

clearly not enough

mexico is cooked

if ur gonna play and american nation below the usa

its ggs for u

argentina got absolutely shit on too

0 coal

10 mils is all u need to enter a defecit

[wise oxide]

like late game soviets 1950 are buying all the coal in the world and still missing 500 giving them -35% output and building speed

[open vault]

wait argentina has 2 lol

ngl with 2 ts sad ash

[faint parrot]

coal is lit there to nerf major industry spam

[wise oxide]

south america dlc so op its balance imo

[wise oxide]

yes its a reason to not civ greed too much

maybe even convince to build in puppets at sone point who knows

[open vault]

why dont civilian nuclear plants produce energy thats what i wanna know

[drifting star]

How to get the new adolf path ?

[wise oxide]

or invade all coal

[faint parrot]

ye

[open vault]

wait wait

[wise oxide]

it reduces factory demand in the same satate

[median bronze]

YAMAMOTO DIED

NOOO

[open vault]

why dont civilian nukes make energy

[open vault]

why not just make energy

[wise oxide]

bc paradox

but its 35%

and other buffs as well

[faint parrot]

ig that would work for later game

[wise oxide]

omg that makes them useful

[open vault]

i have 5 nuclear plants civilian ones too

r we joking rn

[wise oxide]

if you have moscow with 50 civs a nuclear powerplant would save alot of coal

and dams are good

[open vault]

dawg

it doesnt do shit

[open vault]

^^

[wise oxide]

yes

the dlc not perfect

but its still peak

[barren tusk]

china seems poor and small

philipines too

lack of hispanidad path for philipines

[open vault]

every state

has a nuclear powerplant

they better make the impact of nuclear plants bigger

cause ts kinda cooked

[median bronze]

why am i getting 0

[open vault]

bro it does NOTHING @wise oxide

[median bronze]

0 air efficiancy?

[open vault]

this is with no nuclear sites

[open vault]

this is with

[wise oxide]

we need to demand pdx to make a change

[open vault]

straight up doesnt do anything

[open vault]

this is insane bro wth

[wise oxide]

sometimes theres bo debuffs

its so weird

imagine beating usa and only taking all resources 💔

[open vault]

realistically i think this update has done 2 things

made early game death for minors and late game death for majors

when ur decently small it sucks but when ur super big it becomes super bad

[violet comet]

why can't i get the new DLC i have the DLC subscription

weird

[quasi harbor]

oh cool, we have day 1 promotion

[vast shore]

GG

[quasi harbor]

Chak can i borrow 25,49? i promise ill give them back right away

[nimble torrent]

I recall seeing a video from like Pydgyn, showing that it did do stuff

It lowered the consumption for the factories in that state
Maybe it works on a large scale?

[cloud tusk]

Playing through Japan with the DLC, noticed some things. China war is waaaayyy easier, I don't know why but it was. Also these 4 focuses desperately need to be 35 days, they all do the same thing in different states

For 280 days of focuses you get: -20% Factory Bomb Vulnerability, +10% Local Construction in 11 states, 3 Infrastructure, 1 Advisor and +5% Construction Speed

[harsh hull]

Paradox playtesting has never been very thorough

I assume they have a small in-house team that does it

[quasi harbor]

remember checks every dlc and pack

[harsh hull]

We've seen the results of their playtesting with GoE, so no surprise to me if NCNS is rough around the edges

[cloud tusk]

Overall I'm quite pleased, but some of the focuses in the Japan tree seem really "bad".
