[fresh cedar]

Wonder if Peace in Our Time will come out late April

[rotund cargo]

Fleet Carriers pretty much are the regular Carriers from the Research Tree (depending on how much Carrier Hangars you put on them, if you put a small amount of hangars you could argue they are Light Carriers (CVL)

[keen totem]

i'm guessing late april or early may

but who knows

we'll probably know once they start doing dev diaries

[fresh cedar]

Would be nice

But that’s my guess too

[fresh cedar]

Modern destroyers and missile cruisers when

Also Convoy designer 😂

[rotund cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/think-emoji-thonk-meme-gif-11987870

[fresh cedar]

Some convoys were simple transport ships

Others were considered attack ships and had anti air/smaller naval guns, as well as improved armor

[compact kiln]

you could just assume they're scattered evenly in those convoys

Having a convoy designer would only serve to maybe reduce convoy raiding

not much of a point as you would normally just set ships to escort or naval bomb

[fresh cedar]

AA could also nerf air bombing

[fresh cedar]

Would be a passive buff. Heck don’t even need a designer. Would like to see later designs similar to the air transport. Giving passive AA, or making slightly harder to kill

Idk about you but convoys get absolutely blasted in every game I play. And now that subs will be a bit stronger, I’m worried they’ll die at an increased rate now

[pastel flume]

That's also the case for many releasables and formables

Some of the rks didn't even fully exist just proposed like the turkestan and Caucasus ones

[fading walrus]

They were proposed

Or planned

[pastel flume]

That's what I said

[brittle venture]

they are all kmt-led

i feel like theyre postponing this to a general france update, btw, theyve recently been much more liberal with what nations are in the game

[formal lichen]

i will be tuning in to see what changes occur @brittle venture thanks

[brittle venture]

well, its not announced yet, but you can see a clear difference between china (recently updated) the levant (recently updated) and east indies (old) and africa (old) and vietnam is still part of the (old) stuff because it is more related to french (old content) than to japan/china (updated)

[formal lichen]

im happy to see they're listening and working on it

thats a good team

[brittle venture]

well, idk if they are, im not a dev, thats just most likely whats happening

[pastel flume]

Yeah danzig would've been playable probably if nsb released today

I just hope for a playable Egypt

[keen totem]

it should've been

[keen totem]

egypt has a lot of potential too

[mild ledge]

no..?

Just because GOE released sh i t like transjordan doesnt mean free cities and other colonial admins will become playable

[glacial moth]

Eygpt would be peak.

[weary sorrel]

<@&846894118219022336>

[final ivy]

Well, what’s your strategy

Coming from someone who is quite ass at the game compared to most

[brittle venture]

youre not even using the good general </3

[keen totem]

lot of potential paths

[polar jasper]

Support allies
Attack allies but monarchist
Attack allies but fascist
Attack allies but communist
???
Ultra super deluxe meme path that also has you attack the allies

The joys of middle east content

Oh yeah.

Attack allies but democratic

[keen totem]

forgot the part where you're supposed to capitulate the UK on your own

jokes aside, assuming they do add egypt one day and do it right, i think it'll work really well

[polar jasper]

Until you realize that the reason egypt isnt in the game is to help the British AI actually defend Africa

Because with egypt being released, the UK abandons North Africa because clauzwitz engine or something

[brittle venture]

i liked old afghanistan where you were "weak" but with good military buffs and possible war with everyone

now its just broken OP tho so meh

[keen totem]

im aware, but then again isnt there hard coding already in the game like having france cap to germany really easily?

[polar jasper]

The hard coding is the UK doesn't help France until like 1942

In part to make sure the UK army doesn't die

[brittle venture]

even that isnt hard coded lol they just avoid the area in their strategy file

theyre very capable of helping in some games

[polar jasper]

I assume that is what is meant by hard coding

[keen totem]

ah that makes sense

i wasnt 100% sure i just hear people mention it a lot

[brittle venture]

just not often do they decide to go to the strategic area

because its heavily discouraged in code

[polar jasper]

I know Germany is now semi competent and won't declare war on the Soviets when they havent yet taken France

They used to do that a long time ago

[brittle venture]

also like its a neutral nation until 45

[glacial moth]

I believe anything is possible

[coral drift]

Konteradmiral Lindsstrom has generic portrait

[polar jasper]

You should see Norway's admirals

Only 1 unique portrait I believe

[keen totem]

very tragic

[coral drift]

My grammar is tragic

[pastel flume]

you should see portugals lack of generals

for a country that got a dlc

[keen totem]

funny enough im playing portugal right now

and it sucks

they have a field marshal and two generals and one doesnt even have a portrait

[pastel flume]

ikr 😭

at least they get some brazillian ones now

[polar jasper]

I think they have 1 unique portrait, right?

Or is it none

[keen totem]

2

[polar jasper]

All the portraits went to Spain

Not even France has full unique portraits

[pastel flume]

like

[hollow coral]

jose isnt even a general

for some reason

[polar jasper]

Oh the 2nd guy is the leader of democratic portugal

[pastel flume]

excluding that one

[hollow coral]

he was serving at that time so he should be a general

[polar jasper]

Guess he is only there to lead democratic portugal

[pastel flume]

king zog should be a general aswell

and the dominican leader

[hollow coral]

that ones not really a problem

[pastel flume]

they were generals

[keen totem]

justice for portugal

started a good portugal game

monarchist portugal is pretty strong

[pastel flume]

i like letting brazil develop first

also just doing the decisions to integrate angola and mozambique immidieatly

[keen totem]

they upgrade a national spirit to give 30% recruitable pop

that's insane

[pastel flume]

But not the max though

[keen totem]

what's the max?

[pastel flume]

theres a youtube video for that

[glacial moth]

🥀

[outer whale]

@fleet depot PLEASE SIRE NUKE THIS SCAMMER

[coral drift]

GG!!!

[nova smelt]

so i am not very good at templates and I am just wondering if i should use motorized and/or mechanized in my infantry and tank divisions

[polar jasper]

100% yes for tanks

Don't put mech/motorized in your inf

[nova smelt]

alr

[thick edge]

Man in the high castle lol

Except for little neutral zones

[coral drift]

I always love splitting North America and making sure my Canadian puppet annexed the West Pacific Coast

Also, still has not run out of focuses in 1947
Certainly a good tree (i'm the type who hates trees running out in 1942/3)

[thick edge]

Türkiye still stands strong 🇹🇷

[coral drift]

Haven't bought the DLC yet lel

[hidden prairie]

chat what templates should i use as turkey trying to reform otto

[keen totem]

japan's tree is huge

when i first saw the reworked tree it was so overwhelming

😭

[coral drift]

Like Soviet tree

[keen totem]

i do really like larger trees though

japan's democratic path is really fun if you havent tried it

i like it

[barren tusk]

you will like greek one

ther eis amod of greece that is insane large

with 9 paths

to choose

[glacial moth]

Soviet Tree is my favorite in all of Hoi4

[brittle venture]

it has to be at least second no

[glacial moth]

It’s integrated with its paranoia minigame to make the tree more dynamic and more things to consider, it adapts to word situation well with its Desperate Defense and Five Year Plan timing that allows for those late game comebacks.

I also love how it leans really well into lots of game openings so you can be really creative in how you play.

It is both constrictive with its paranoia that makes you walk a tightrope and have fun balancing, and creative with how powerful it is at start and it’s very good focuses you can sandbox with.

It’s just the right amount of both.

[hollow lion]

While it is quite cool the first few times personally I find the Soviet tree the most repetitive of all

The alt-hist civil wars are extremely easy, just like the standard Germany one, and after a few games you almost always pick the same purge options

[spark meteor]

it seems that faction color no longer changes with the faction leader?

[coral drift]

Tbh i think that at least the focus tree is still useful to guide you
I myself still able to cap both Soviet, UK, and USA without going beyond Extensive Conscription and using Chinese manpower. Still using them for garrison, though

But i think it's concerning that the Americans did nothing when i bypassed the Philippines and capping India, Australia, New Zealand, and enroaching easterly until Tahiti

[coral drift]

<@&846894118219022336>

[thick edge]

Lmao

[white vortex]

Brazil will never receiv att? The resources is not real..

[coral drift]

What "ATT"?

[wooden wyvern]

attention ig

[chrome pawn]

hi, were the op torpedoes patched yet or is it still in the beta version?

[coral drift]

Oh

[coral drift]

Certainly they can get more if we have 2-3 more excavation levels (nerf the initial ones to keep the cumulative 100%, of course)

Then add more resource prospecting decisions

[sturdy bison]

Im wondering when desnyc bug gets fixed, it exists since ncns release and it isnt fixed

[hollow lion]

@timid pineEnglish only and dont spam please

[timid pine]

why?

I am Turkish

[hollow lion]

the rest of the chat cant understand what youre saying, which is rather inconvenient, and so its a rule

[fading walrus]

English language only server

[bitter mauve]

Unfortunately

[timid pine]

oky.

[fresh cedar]

Think resource prospecting could probably just be reworked and be more dynamic

Especially in Africa

[coral drift]

The current system is fine
Just need more lategame decisions unlocked by lategame excav tech

[fresh cedar]

Many parts of the world simply lack resources they had

They genuinely just need to update deposits in areas

Africa is pretty devoid of resources

[coral drift]

Yes, and the deposits would be discovered/extracted later due to insufficient tech/mapping in the local deposits

[fresh cedar]

I’d love to see an update for this

Or even let players upgrade that new building you can put on the map

[fresh cedar]

I’m just not sure about adding more tech levels for it

[coral drift]

Mhm
One more reason that i have a personal stake on TaoG and its major free patch

Indonesia and Australia are still mining giants to this day, hence i wanted tech extensions

Also India for coals

[fresh cedar]

Would be neat if there were specific buildings for single resources. Like get 10% for every resource with the one building. Or 20% for a specific resource

But agreed India, Southeast Asia, and Africa need resource reworks 😂

[fresh cedar]

Should the engineering vehicle special project give a slight buff to resource collection?

[coral drift]

The vehicle itself is too tactical compared to strategic nature of resources

[fresh cedar]

I mean can it potentially open up technologies to research?

So instead of adding further tiers. Maybe that would add 1-2 researchable techs after engineering vehicle is researched

[coral drift]

The tech itself, eh
Guess so

(?)

[fresh cedar]

Moreso to show it opens your society up to advancements in mining vehicles/practices

So instead of just adding more tiers, makes you research a special project to unlock a few more

[coral drift]

Tbh it incentivize you to research it
But I formerly prefer a more straightforward way

Your idea is better

[coral drift]

Btw please check you DMs

[keen totem]

tech just needs to be reworked in general

WW2 had such a massive tech jump

by the end of the war some countries were beginning to add assault rifles to their arsenals

[brittle venture]

hoi4 techs just dont make sense and are complex to new players

[keen totem]

i mean tbf the whole game is complex to new players

it'd be nice just to see research be given a little bit more love

[brittle venture]

i like hoi but combat should prob follow realism a lot more than now, its silly in all aspects

[keen totem]

i myself am not really sure how or what could be done to really change combat

but it'd be an interesting idea

[brittle venture]

gun upgrades from 1918 to 1939 were not 300% of combat stats

i can tell you that

[keen totem]

fair enough

[brittle venture]

same for tanks not just being about raw firepower output but also survivability (which speed increases) is not represented like at all, its just a bad trade

planes are similar

planes actually had agility be good in the beginning and then it got mega nerfed sometime BBA

[keen totem]

does feel like a lot of the stats that you see when making designing like anything feel a bit pointless

[brittle venture]

its just like so far fetched that its silly, and your decisions arent like uhm

theyre very abstract and different from even other big strategy games

[eternal arch]

this and also the building caps make zero sense

tell me how you can fit 90 static aa into poland but only 5 into texas even though texas is about 80% bigger than poland

[keen totem]

texas is roughly the same size as poland

but you can fit less into texas than poland?

genius

[earnest niche]

if you can fit less into texas thats just weird

[thick edge]

Because the US provinces are states

Other than New England

[green scaffold]

yeah that makes no sense

in general distance in game makes no sense as well

why is the amount of industry you can fit into a state limited

[thick edge]

I mean 30 mils with 5 civs in Timbuktu make no sense

[green scaffold]

why not
you could fit that many factories in there if you actually tried to

it'd just cost you money to do that but you physically have the space for it

[fresh cedar]

I mean it’s been known for a long time that US needs way way more states. Most states should be broken up into like 2-6 states

Especially New England, Texas, and California

[keen totem]

true

[green scaffold]

the us in general needs a massive buff

its pathetically weak

[keen totem]

the US just in general needs a massive update

[hollow coral]

its really not weak

its just its outdated

[green scaffold]

it is really weak

it should be the strongest in the game by far

and it is at best second now assuming you play the historical script

but barely top 10 if you don't

[hollow coral]

idk what your playing

[green scaffold]

us doesn't have any formables, it can't do early wars

can't get any extra cores at all besides Hawaii and Alaska

bad mios

bad nerfs on constructions at start

no compliance buffs

no production buffs

very low starting mil count and can't get much more for awhile because of said construction nerfs

only thing it really got going for it is resources

has to go through civil wars to switch ideologies and loses cores which then take time to get back

i don't think they have any gun tech research bonuses? so also no early gun 3, which also sucks

by the date you can even go to war as the us, the uk can core half the globe, Soviet union can conquer all of Europe, Germany can conquer all of Europe, italy can form both rome and eu, Japan can core china

has 10 focuses each giving 10% atk against a single country for a very short time, while other nations can get permanent 10% atk buff applied every from a single focus

[fresh cedar]

US industry should be at around 1000-1200 factories at least. Not like 500-700 late game

[fresh cedar]

Compared to what the US production capabilities were IRL. It’s extremely weak. It’s like 1/4th of what it should be

If accurate US production is too OP, then nerf other allied production and make them rely on the US for equipment

[keen totem]

lend lease was crucial to the british and soviets

it wouldn't even be inaccurate

[fresh cedar]

Is this remotely represented in game? 😂

[keen totem]

highly doubt it

[fresh cedar]

Germany by 1944 will have like 1000-1500 factories. US will have like 600

[keen totem]

the US should never be outproduced by any other major

simple

even when germany held most of europe in their peak they couldn't even dream of the idea

[fresh cedar]

Oh I agree. US needs more states and like double the industry. But for that to happen they would need to rework lend lease and allied production

[keen totem]

they produced like a good 2/3rds of all allied equipment

in no world should germany just be able to outproduce them

[fresh cedar]

Germany shouldn’t outproduce the USSR either

But they’ve done that all for balance to make the game fun

[keen totem]

MAYBE early game

but past 1942 definitely not

[fresh cedar]

Still think it would be interesting if the Allies relied on the US. But genuinely current lend lease wouldn’t really work for that.

[keen totem]

german logistics stalled more and more as the germans got farther in barbarossa

[keen totem]

the current lend lease system isn't the best

but yes i do agree

the UK should be getting a LOT of lend lease from the US

the USSR too assuming they're fighting against the same enemy as the UK

[fresh cedar]

In historical this works. I think in ahistorical though the US being accurate becomes scary

[keen totem]

even then it still makes sense

supplying major democratic powers

to resist communism and fascism

[fresh cedar]

Would love a multi-sided civil war in the US

[keen totem]

the US should be scary in this game

[fresh cedar]

I agree, hopefully they make it better eventually

[keen totem]

everytime when it comes down to a US invasion the hard part is just getting there

[fresh cedar]

The developers and game itself are pretty Eurocentric though.

[keen totem]

once you secure canada or get mexico against the US you can usually roll them over

[fresh cedar]

Even with the 20% def/atk buffs it’s pretty easy yeah

[hollow coral]

i feel like thats just because thats where the main theatre took place

[fresh cedar]

Was it called European War 2? Or World War 2?

[keen totem]

any civil war in the US should be multisided

[hollow coral]

like i said main theatre

[keen totem]

two-way civil wars to me are boring

i get it for minors and such

but something like the US or Russia id imagine these civil wars being far more complex

[fresh cedar]

Nah Asia was basically as big of a theater

[hollow coral]

the white civil war did it right

[hollow coral]

ofc

[keen totem]

still doesnt really feel all that satisfying to me

[fresh cedar]

Would be cool if US states broke off mid civil war and had the ability for formables. Like New England, West Coast etc

[keen totem]

the nationalist revolts are cool yeah

but once they revolt and the civil war ends they just sit there and do nothing

[hollow coral]

i dont feel like individual states would break off

some like texas and california make sense tho

[keen totem]

some USSR releaseables should have focus trees or at least some content

[keen totem]

in the case of the US maybe not

[brittle venture]

vic3 revolts and uprisings fr (computer would die lagging)

[hollow coral]

the bare minimum is to give them all portraits

for some reason georgia got all the portraits

[keen totem]

definitely agree

georgia being the only one with portraits is weird

but nothing for ukraine?

belarus has one portrait for the non-aligned/fascist party

[fresh cedar]

I mean Korea and Vietnam don’t even have images really

[hollow coral]

i dont get why the guy is in non aligned

[fresh cedar]

How does Ho Chi Minh or Kim Il Sung not have pictures? 😂

[hollow coral]

kim il sung does

[keen totem]

kim il sung does

[hollow coral]

ho chi minh shouldve had a portrait

[fresh cedar]

Does he???

[keen totem]

they gave communist and fascist portraits for korea but didnt bother with syngman rhee

[hollow coral]

but they only made one portrait for vietnam

[green scaffold]

there is a 3 sided civil war rn

well. 2 sided with 1 neutral side

in the us

[fresh cedar]

He looks like this for me

[keen totem]

even though he's the starting leader when korea is released

[keen totem]

do you have NCNS?

[hollow coral]

might be bugged for you

[green scaffold]

when the us goes communist

[fresh cedar]

I literally own every single dlc

[green scaffold]

you get democratic against democratic civil war

[green scaffold]

witn non aligned breaking off

around Chicago

[keen totem]

i think manchuria can get him as a general if they go dem/communist

maybe that's why

[hollow coral]

doesnt the communist civil war make you fight the confederate

that seems kinda weird

[fresh cedar]

Watch Chak be like, “Did you try switching your mods on and off” 💀

[hollow coral]

nah then kim wouldnt be the leader

[brittle venture]

[brittle venture]

[fresh cedar]

Peace in our time announcement Thursday? 😏

[brittle venture]

or your game is like 5 versions behind

[fresh cedar]

Probably I’ll have to check. Though none of my mods touched Kim

[pseudo wing]

Nope, no PfoT Announcement on Thursday

[fresh cedar]

Dang

[brittle venture]

so its friday, then?

confirmed

[fresh cedar]

PfoT is an interesting acronym

[pseudo wing]

no, friday is when I go buy discounted easter candy

[keen totem]

surely it's saturday then

[fresh cedar]

He’ll be too busy gathering syrup as many Quebecois do on Saturday

[hollow coral]

what if its tomorrow

[pseudo wing]

DID YOU HEAR THE SCANDAL THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK

about maple syrup

[fresh cedar]

The heist?

[pseudo wing]

nono

[fresh cedar]

Oh I didn’t hear 😂

[pseudo wing]

there's this brand of maple syrup that was caught cutting 40% of the maple syrup with cane sugar

which is giga illegal

lmao

[hollow coral]

only in canada

[fresh cedar]

wtf, that’s a lot

Ew who’s trying to eat straight cane sugar

[pseudo wing]

that's what I'm saying, horrible

[fresh cedar]

Wouldn’t even taste the same

[pseudo wing]

I get mine straight from the source from a little place near my hometown

a lil pricey but they give me a years worth at a time

[brittle venture]

will this be a secret event in the PfoT update

[fresh cedar]

Yeah I always just buy local syrup

[pseudo wing]

no lmao

[fresh cedar]

Store bought isn’t the same

[pseudo wing]

no secret event

[fresh cedar]

Secret syrup event 😭

[keen totem]

canada rework and the secret meme leader is a bottle of maple syrup

[pseudo wing]

In canada you can generally get store bought and its good, just someone got reported for cutting theirs with cane sugar and it was like 40% of each can

lmao

[brittle venture]

chak just releasing update leaks for free now

[fresh cedar]

Now I’m worried many do that wtf

[pseudo wing]

nono, I'm just a Dam

The Chak Dam to be specific

[keen totem]

yikes

[hollow coral]

Chak wheres the Maple syrup resource?

[brittle venture]

yeah when are they adding that to hoi4

[pseudo wing]

https://giphy.com/gifs/instagram-insta-stangram-YfZrID4jZQNFFVLYAD

[brittle venture]

is there any updates on it

oohh maybe theyll add it alongside the highly anticipated and requested quebec french-american formable

[pseudo wing]

Maple syrup is strictly regulated in Canada so the authorities are legit doing a big investigation and stuff lmao

[pseudo wing]

I still want to add my Nouvelle Monde formable

[keen totem]

maybe one day..

[fresh cedar]

What even happens? Does the company get dissolved??

[brittle venture]

ok so i have a hard question for you, a dilemma if you will

would you celebrate your birthday on this discord server if that was the requirement for the formable being added to the game?

[pseudo wing]

they get heavy fines and can be prohibited from selling further product

So not forcibly shuttered but practically the same thing I'd say

unless they diversify

[pseudo wing]

no lol

I don't even celebrate my birthday IRL

I legit don't celebrate anything at all

not that it's wrong to, I just... don't

[brittle venture]

do you celebrate april fools

or are you like an actual rock

'grr im chak and i hate celebrating and i hate fun'

XD

[pseudo wing]

why would I celebrate april fool's when I'm a fool every day

duh

[pseudo wing]

I don't hate fun lmao, I'm just not a holidays person, nor a celebrations person.

I still wish people happy holidays/happy birthday and all that, just don't personally do anything for the holidays themselves

people I care about get birthday gifts but thats about it

[brittle venture]

okay this is slightly off topic lol

remember when this was about the hoi4 update and dlc

[pseudo wing]

ur right, but there's still no PfoT announcement here this week

[brittle venture]

ohh so its monday /j

[pseudo wing]

one of these days you'll find it, just not this time

[keen totem]

time.. as in peace for our time?

[keen totem]

tuesday surely

[brittle venture]

surely

[hollow coral]

surely theres other announcements this week though

[brittle venture]

well, i can assure you there will be one on june 6th

[hollow coral]

how compelling

[thick edge]

Ehhh

Germany would lose even harder at barb

[fresh cedar]

Yeah it’s why I said it’s that way bc balance

[brittle venture]

rn the balance sucks

germany is broken

[thick edge]

Oh yes 100% that would be wonderful

[fresh cedar]

I recently took over the Americas as the Fourth Reich. And when I invaded Afro-Eurasia, they deployed 35 mil soldiers on my border 😔

Had to take the entire mega continent and Australia just to win

Idk allies kinda OP

[thick edge]

Didn’t see that part mb

[fresh cedar]

Idek why Germany fails in Barb now

They used to do so well

I’m guessing it’s stagnating economy from Economy of Conquest?

[thick edge]

I personally think it’s the airbase access in Soviets

Or maybe them not having enough fuel to get full doctrines?

[fresh cedar]

I did notice Soviet air is pretty crazy lately. They’ll have like 2-4K in some air zones. Is that because it’s supplemented with allied?

[thick edge]

I think so yeah

[fresh cedar]

I think when allies focused their air power on the channel, North Africa and Western Europe it was fine

Tbh would rather Allie’s spam bombers over Germany than fighters in Russia

[vestal inlet]

realest shi i heard in a minute

[keen totem]

it would make it more interesting

[keen totem]

soviets shouldnt be giving air access to the allies early barb

[hardy mesa]

Found a typo btw

I think

I assume it meant to say "tough nut to crack"

[tacit flame]

tough to nut at and crack 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

play this when

[brittle venture]

sure

[elder fjord]

do not report this

keep it

[coral drift]

Germany is less OP
In my Japan game, I blitzed through Africa, Spain, and Britain like it's nothing, capping Allies. For the Americas, I puppeted Western Canada while Germany took the eastern half.

Germany declared on USA but got spanked almost immediately. To prevent that, I declared war when the Americans is at the gates of Quebec.

And then it's a blitz, Japan alone without any puppets bar Canada, beating the Americans at the sea and the land.

And the peace deal i mainly took the navy and Pacific, leading to the image on Saturday above.

Regular difficulty and i'm not done with the Army tree even

But to be fair, the Americans did nothing when i bypassed the Philippines, took Australia and New Zealand, and going so far into the Pacific until Tahiti.

[fresh cedar]

Okay but Japan is just super overpowered. Ontop of the insane supply buffs, it also get like 10% division attack and 20% inf attack buffs

Genuinely needs a nerf

It’s not a Germany/Allied issue. But Japan being broken issue

[coral drift]

Either above, or historical USA joins the Allies when Japan takes Singapore/Darwin/New Delhi

[fresh cedar]

In all my games when I’m not playing as Japan, the US wrecks them

Like Japan can have all of Asia then the US somehow lands in mainland Japan and wins

[coral drift]

I admit i was a bit hammered when approaching East Africa, but once i locked Madagascar and landed on Mombasa, it's over for the Royal Navy

And the Americans still did nothing

[fresh cedar]

Weird

I had a different experience when I played

[coral drift]

Again
I never declared on the Americans until i capped Allies

(No NCNS)

[fresh cedar]

I really had to fight off the US fleet in my few Japanese games

[coral drift]

Two of these, or maybe if Atlantic Charter is signed and Queen Wilhelmina joined in by promising to decolonize Indonesia and join the American oil embargo against Japan, USA can then guarantee INS

In EIR i put the embargo event, and also add another 70-days focus for Japan's historical plan so that Japan would declare at INS on December 1941

[coral drift]

The Americans auto-join Allies at which spot?
After Singapore or Darwin?

[fresh cedar]

Not sure tbh

[brisk patrol]

when news about czechoslovakia 😔🇨🇿

[vestal inlet]

dont worry czechoslovakia and danzig will prolly get a rework for the cheap price of 47.99 euro and dont worry youll have plenty of czech content with focuses locking you until 1940 to do anything interesting

[hollow coral]

why did danzig sneak itself in

[vestal inlet]

because paradox love adding in random countries we dgaf about

[hollow coral]

you guys hate paradox haha

[fresh cedar]

My guy Czech is already getting one within Peace in our time

[vestal inlet]

ok

[green scaffold]

historically accurate

japan still controlled most of east asia at the time of its surrender

[keen totem]

they were still launching successful offensives in china even as they were losing every another front

[green scaffold]

why would that happen? why would the usa join the war if not declared on

i see no reason for that to happen

[gritty lava]

Kinda weird to have a return to democracy option at the end of the fascist path

[fresh cedar]

Lowkey Spain irl

[keen totem]

but it's interesting

and i like the fact the choice is there

[vestal inlet]

czech little entente is the most cursed bs in unhist runs

hate the czechs

[fresh cedar]

Austrian BS is insane too

Magically puppets like Poland and others mid war

[keen totem]

it's fun when you're the player and extremely annoying when you're NOT the player

[hollow coral]

i think its intended as a military takeover path

like an authoritarian government takes over during a crisis

[keen totem]

pretty sure this sorta happened historically

when the munich conference happened and czechoslovakia was left as a rump state democracy was suspended iirc

[coral drift]

It aligned with Roosevelt's aims to contain Japan

[gritty lava]

I suppose

[hollow coral]

not a military takeover just a more authoritarian government

[vestal inlet]

does anyone actually do democracy playthroughs in singleplayer tho

https://tenor.com/view/sleepy-sleep-nap-nap-time-boring-gif-4004223879474793826

[fading walrus]

Democratic king Italy yes

[hollow coral]

sometimes to larp as a wholesome democracy

[gritty lava]

Me

[keen totem]

me

[fading walrus]

Me

[vestal inlet]

would rather watch paint dry

BORING

[hollow coral]

newer democratic paths are good

[vestal inlet]

democratic germany is good but only because you can actually invad

[hollow coral]

but if your referring to like south africa its understandable

[fading walrus]

Same with Democratic king Italy

And Japan too now

[keen totem]

democratic japan in it's new tree is really good too

i like playing democratic brazil too

[gritty lava]

When I don't know what to play I have a spinning wheel of every path in the game
Often picks a Democratic path for me

[keen totem]

forming USSA and then getting involved in whatever is happening in europe

[hollow coral]

though democratic paths that just make a big alliance or joining the allies are kinda mid

[keen totem]

norway also has that one democratic path where you get the other guy in charge

[fading walrus]

I join the axis as democratic king Italy btw

[keen totem]

and you can invade sweden and denmark

[fading walrus]

And justify a war goal on Bulgaria before I flip

[vestal inlet]

allies shouldnt exist in unhist its the biggest pile of 💩

US JOINED THE ALLIES 😔

[fading walrus]

That happened irl though

[hollow coral]

allies should start out as the commonwealth

but thats for when they ultimately decide for a british rework

[vestal inlet]

yes but in unhist loads of random shit happens its not anything like irl

but still like irl half the world joins the allies

[fading walrus]

Because realpoltik

[hollow coral]

thats because the allies are the good guys

[vestal inlet]

i feel like instead of making super dooper mega factions paradox should make it so each individual country is just better

unhist is way too spammy and nonsensical

should be more 1v1s

[gritty lava]

It's a ww2 game

[vestal inlet]

doesnt change anything

should still feel the weight of each country actually having good AI

instead of 50 nation factions spammy spammy

in ww2 ussr was essentially a faction on their own but in hoi4 its shite

[hollow coral]

evert campaign in alt hist should still lead to a world war

[fading walrus]

They were shite until 1942 though

[hollow coral]

theres no denying that

[vestal inlet]

ye i dont mind big wars but come on when u have to take mexico because they joined The Benelux that includes germany and sweden and somehow theyre a major

[hollow coral]

yeah the guarentees should be reworked

[green scaffold]

who said the American people would be up to this
but anyways this is not how the game works, and no need to create new mechanics for things that didn't happen historically. if people wanna have easier time and kill the us after the allies, let them be. if they wanna play historically, nothing stopping them from declaring war

[coral drift]

You can have an event if Pearl Harbour did not happen, whether to adhere to the strategic aims or hear out your people's wishes

Obviously going with the former would tank your support heavily

[green scaffold]

im talking about the ai
as a player its not really relevant because the ai won't do that

and the ai should not take the option to fight in the event so

[coral drift]

Okay, you got me
Nerf Japan then

[green scaffold]

nah, buffs allies

[fresh cedar]

Japan needs nerfs, its unbalanced unit stat wise

Gets insanely strong inf buffs and Supply buffs

[coral drift]

I can still spank China by 1939, but China itself needs to be nerfed on their surrender limit
Creating the collab government (either La Resistance version or RGC) should've lowered "Chinese Unity" level by 2

Like, i can sweep China from the coast in one year, but i spent another year stuck at Kangding and Ya'an (near the Tibetan border)

[fresh cedar]

As it should be tbh

It shouldn’t be easy to cap China 😭

[coral drift]

I already took Chengdu and Chongqing

And also Yunnan and Xibei San Ma

Chiang still fighting from Upper Mekong is insane

[keen totem]

disagree

[coral drift]

I mean, i agree that it should be easy to occupy the coast and also a hard slog to reach Chongqing. But once you managed to reach there (and also Chengdu), creating the RGC, and also overran Yunnan, Xibei San Ma, and Sinkiang; i think China should've just folded at that point

[green scaffold]

you need to cap china by the end of 37 to not have issues with surrender limit, before they annex Sichuan clique. its not that hard

[coral drift]

No NCNS and LaR

[green scaffold]

well. then the answer is that china has already been nerfed. you just gotta pay for it

ncns nerfs china, a lot

[coral drift]

Cross-DLC compatibility is hard to get it right, i understand

[green scaffold]

yeah actally nvm, china does not need a nerf without dlcs and without collabs either

this was done with battleplanning on 5 speed

[brittle venture]

its realistic tho

in the sense that the more the japanese escalated the more they did warcrimes and the more they faced resistance

theres much worse issues like not showing this increase in non-symmetrical resistance/a flexible surrender limit

and the complete unability to actually reflect tactical battles correctly within the current formula of battle calculations

[brittle venture]

no collabs mean you puppet i think

puppet prc tho so they dont break free with the ask allied help focus

[coral drift]

Tbh skill issue on my part since that was my first proper game after a year

I also too methodical and stopped after Chongqing instead of keep pushing

[vestal inlet]

bro casually has 90 divs tho 🧐

[green scaffold]

20 of them are puppet divisions
50 are crappy 12w without even support arty

[vestal inlet]

what was ur meta to cap china so fast

i imagine spy network

obv

[brittle venture]

where good general

[vestal inlet]

did u early war

[green scaffold]

it was no dlc

[green scaffold]

ofc

[vestal inlet]

dam

[brittle venture]

using the field marshal guy as general 🥀

[vestal inlet]

did u do air

[green scaffold]

i just pushed from 3 different places

naval invaded Qingdao, Shanghai, and pushed from Beijing

didn't push at all the warlords

only main china

[vestal inlet]

tbf if u make crappy 12 widths u can just spam naval invasions

lots more divs

[green scaffold]

i only did 2

you don't really need more

with ncns and la resistance you get a lot less divisions put tho

collabs are costly

but worth it

i did another game right after that with ncns and LaR and capped china on October 12 1937

[vestal inlet]

tf

[green scaffold]

~~ I didn't get the second collab so i probably should've waited for the compliance ~~

[vestal inlet]

earliest i ever got was dec 1937 and that was china unhist by itself

[green scaffold]

its inf leaders

[brittle venture]

yeah but you didnt pick the good one

toshizo nishio

[green scaffold]

i could probably do it earlier. if i minimaxed more for in game time instead of irl time

[green scaffold]

whats the difference

[vestal inlet]

seems like physically impossible cos if u go to war may 1937 unless china has 0 divs

[brittle venture]

good to grind, tanaka is a great FM because he costs less to promote and can become an attack advisor with BBA

otherwise just use some brilliant strat dude as FM

[green scaffold]

i mean if battleplaning 5 speed is getting that on oct 12
some micro would definitely get it 1-2 months earlier

[vestal inlet]

are u playing on recruit difficulty or sum

china isnt so easy

[brittle venture]

it is

[green scaffold]

well grinding doesn't matter much because its only 6 months of war

[vestal inlet]

its manageable but steamrolling china in a mater of months

[green scaffold]

nope, normal

[brittle venture]

yeah you can

[vestal inlet]

am i missing smth

how

[brittle venture]

your factories, army, generals maybe

[compact fractal]

does anyone know if they added a yunnan focus tree after the china update?

or was it always there

[blazing flint]

They have had a focus tree since waking the tiger

They expanded it a tiny bit in the newest japan/china dlc

Mostly just a reginal tree

[glossy inlet]

It didn’t have anything unique to it until a war effort patch a couple months ago

It was one of the few warlords to have a tree but nothing specifically for yunnan

[compact fractal]

oh I see

thats why it didn't seem like it had one to me

[mild ledge]

im saying lmao

these guys play on recruit difficulty and use mp templates

and then come on here and say "china can be destroyed by december 1936"

like bro, play the game mornammly

[wooden wyvern]

mp templates arent as effective in sp cause they assume youre playing against a player

[brittle venture]

they work but wont win as fast

k/d remains good

[gritty horizon]

Are you trying to meme good templates by calling them "mp templates"?

[brittle venture]

its china?

you dont have access to good templates

[vestal inlet]

real

[green scaffold]

i didn't even use optimal templates in any way i used the starting 24w and 12w, only removed engineers from the 24w and added arty to the 12w

It’s $17 USD 😂

Gotterdammerung is cheaper than that

[fresh cedar]

The ship is pretty cool

$38 is alright too for that site

[brisk patrol]

The Czechoslovakia dlc seems pretty cool

where is it modders..

[fresh cedar]

Lowkey just gonna bribe the modder to give leaks

[brittle venture]

youd have to bribe an awful lot

[fresh cedar]

Free RTX 5070 Ti

[brittle venture]

i can assure you thats not close to enough

[fresh cedar]

😂😂😂

[stable tusk]

@hollow lion what do you think about this offer

[hollow lion]

You aint getting me to break NDA 😭

[stable tusk]

@fresh cedar He's not taking it sadly

You should bump up the offer

[fresh cedar]

Kidnapping it is then 😔

[fresh cedar]

I forget but were we told if this was just for Czechoslovakia or also Slovakia? I imagine Slovakia would just because it exists in every historical game

Slovakia is a whole different tag as SLO as opposed to CZE. So was confused if it becomes CZE again

[keen totem]

how about TWO free RTX 5070s

[keen totem]

"pursuing independence as slovakia" i'd assume that means tag switch

besides slovakia does tend to appear a lot when germany goes historical and carves up czechoslovakia

does seem sorta logical to me

[fresh cedar]

That’s my argument

Just made me wonder if they’ll eventually be two separate countries with totally different trees

[keen totem]

i feel like it'd be weird for the czech tree to have a slovak breakaway portion in the tree and then independent slovakia gets the "CZE" tag

slovakia breaking away seems like something that'd be dependent on an event

like munich conference or maybe that other event in the german alt-hist tree where they divide czechoslovakia

[fresh cedar]

Agreed

Really just want to see information on it I guess

[keen totem]

me too

[meager rose]

All you're getting atm

[fresh cedar]

That’s pretty good tbh

[lethal folio]

Another outsourced dlc?

That will go well

[stable tusk]

Yk the past DLCs weren't outsourced, right?
The country packs were made by a different PDX team but it was still PDX making them
Peace for our Time is the first truly outsider made DLC

[green scaffold]

there is no way the Czechoslovak tree won't have an option for Slovakia breaking free

if it'd be with a tag change, maybe

but it for sure will have that option

[keen totem]

i'd imagine it be something like the kumul uprising

where you tag switch over

i feel it'll be event based

[mild ledge]

oh that will be isanely lame lmao

its gna be a skoda works focus tree

with 9999 mio buffs

and then 20 70 day focuses to swithc and every path u make a faction

and the monarchist bohemia path will be a goverment in exile path as usual

[fresh cedar]

I mean I’m pretty hyped for it. Modders make great content. If this goes well we can potentially see trees for a ton of forgotten nations. Like Carribean, Ireland, Luxembourg etc

Acts as a precedent for future dlc

[keen totem]

it's Rt56 devs iirc

so i have high hopes

they've made great stuff before

and i REALLY hope this "focus pack" idea works

if it means we get more content for more countries, then i'm 100% for it

[glossy inlet]

That’s literally only happened once wdym “as usual”

[glossy inlet]

It’s rt56 devs their goated

[mild ledge]

Belgium, netherlands, italy (regno del sud), ethiopia

what else

[glossy inlet]

Who unironically plays regno del sud and the Netherlands can go monarchist without going into exile and with Ethiopia it doesn’t force you into going into exile literally the only path mentioned that actually has it required is Belgium

So I’ll say this again wdym “as usual”

[glossy inlet]

Also regno del Sud isn’t even government in exile lmao

[mild ledge]

What is this

why did this happen?

[stable tusk]

Belgium: yeah you need to go into exile to go monarchist
Regno del sud: not government in exile
Ethiopia: two monarchist paths one is government in exile other isn't
Netherlands: actually I think going monarchist stops you from going in exile to Indonesia

[keen totem]

to get the formable as monarchist netherlands you need to be exiled and be in britain's faction with belgium and luxembourg iirc

[green scaffold]

italy has 2 different monarchist paths that are not regno del sud

[green scaffold]

no you don't

[keen totem]

thought you did?

[green scaffold]

nope

[mild ledge]

but for czech u get invaded just like belgium and netherlands

so i think that it will be the same for them

@glossy inlet

[stable tusk]

Well there was a Czech government in exile but that would probably democratic and not monarchist

[mild ledge]

Same with belgium and netherlands

[glossy inlet]

That’s still not a government in exile path

[mild ledge]

which?

[glossy inlet]

Bruh

[stable tusk]

Yeah but like Belgium is the only one where you need to go in exile to go monarchist

[mild ledge]

netherlands, ya its not goverment in exile technically but

u are literally a 1 state enclave is what ur meant to do

monarchest czech wil prob be something like that and be lame asf

[glossy inlet]

It literally won’t

[mild ledge]

how do u know?

[glossy inlet]

Cause I’m not a idiot

[mild ledge]

what od you think it wil lbe?

[stable tusk]

It won't
Only exile path that exists would be the democratic path
I think a monarchist path would work more like Austria's

[glossy inlet]

A normal monarchist path you’ll do like any other

[mild ledge]

Maybe they will get a KCD2 reference

[stable tusk]

Maybe, game does take place in Bohemia

[bitter mauve]

Thanks Chak
Have a great weekend

[wise oxide]

the voice chat was wild

[royal vigil]

did that stupid idea of generals getting captured go live or something?

I lost blaskowitz and I dont know how

he was my general for a sea lion, now he's gone

[brittle venture]

no, youd know

[hollow lion]

I took a quick look and afaik he can only disappear by being installed as Reichkommesariat puppet leader

[royal vigil]

oh that's where he went

also soviets beat iran and spontaneously claimed all of poland and exiled half my army and encircled the rest, somehow

so that's a great bug

[brittle venture]

thats also not a bug?

in iran's focus tree they can concede the war, which is probably what they did

[royal vigil]

that shouldn't give them my polish puppet though

[brittle venture]

and poland capitulating gives up their territory to the enemy with the highest warscore against them

[royal vigil]

it wasnt even in the war

[brittle venture]

did they go fascist?

like normal poland

[royal vigil]

i ate them and installed puppet gov't

[brittle venture]

normal fascist poland has a path to declare on germany

but idk what you did so

[royal vigil]

no its historical

hang on

[hollow lion]

Yeh Iran's scripted peace messes things up quite badly sometimes

[royal vigil]

now this just happened

like, ukraine died immediately and i got those states back

with no troops in there

[royal vigil]

one of those classic "boy I sure am glad I'm playing on ironman and can't unfuck the game"

moments

[brittle venture]

ohh did poland rise up with resistance mechanics

wild

[royal vigil]

no

[brittle venture]

did ukraine then..?

[royal vigil]

no

this is all from the scripted iran thing

[hollow lion]

this is why you dont play ironman 😭

[royal vigil]

it exploded eastern europe

[brittle venture]

thats just not true

but okay

[hollow lion]

It can be

[royal vigil]

it literally happened immediately when iran peaced out

[brittle venture]

because iran's event cant peace the entire faction out iirc

[hollow lion]

It doesnt peace out everyone but it does somehow mess up the occupation in places

[brittle venture]

huh i see

[royal vigil]

also for the record i'm on elite difficulty, before you ask why i havent won by 43

[brittle venture]

i have a lot of questions, but i shall be respectful

[royal vigil]

go for it

[brittle venture]

what did you do

120 units, bad economy, a million notifications and 5 speed instead of fixing it

it seems like youre using manstein as tank general?

[royal vigil]

I was using him to break forts

[green scaffold]

vichy france existing

RKs existing

[wooden wyvern]

are you not supposed to do that

theyre pretty useful for the trade

[green scaffold]

no

vichy france is just throwing factories into the trash

[wooden wyvern]

yea but if you dont sign then free france gets things in africa and everywhere

and thats a pain

cause theyll just send naval invasions instead of doing nothing on caledonia like they usually do

[green scaffold]

if you really want french puppet state, what you should do, is triple collab france, then make Vichy france, then make a collab government

that collab government will annex vichy immediately

giving you both an actual puppet, and not useless thing like Vichy, and their colonies and everything

[wooden wyvern]

which will be in the war and probably get eaten by the british

[green scaffold]

as well as the option to get their navy by annexing them

[green scaffold]

you can defend it

[wooden wyvern]

yea

but i dont want to

[green scaffold]

but either way its just better

trade doesn't really matter

[wooden wyvern]

like its a whole lot of headaches for a lot of

not much

[green scaffold]

like

[wooden wyvern]

i dont think theres many factories in south france anyways

[green scaffold]

france doesn't have all that much relevant things on the colonies

[wooden wyvern]

last i checked its all in the north

[green scaffold]

and they will lose the colonies to free france anyways

[wooden wyvern]

i usually use them for aluminum and rubber

[wooden wyvern]

they dont tho

free france only has caledonia in the pacific and i think maybe the islands in the carribean

[green scaffold]

i mean you should be killing the uk before that happens

[wooden wyvern]

and vichy doesnt join axis

[green scaffold]

but it does happen eventually

[wooden wyvern]

so they remain neutral

ive never seen the allies go to war with vichy

[green scaffold]

they justify on them

in 42 or 43

[wooden wyvern]

well it doesnt matter then

if you havent killed uk at that point then usa is tehre

[green scaffold]

nothing really matters when you play Germany so yes

[wooden wyvern]

so itll be an even bigger headache trying to peace out the allies

[wooden wyvern]

ive never hopped across the atlantic

seems like a huge pain

altho its prob easy now because the naval ai is broken

[brittle venture]

you could make refineries

and have more factories on top

[wooden wyvern]

i mean idk how the math works out on that

like building refineries takes a while when you could be building more mils

[brittle venture]

it really doesnt, germany gets insane ref buffs

[wooden wyvern]

and usually i cant build enough to make all the planes im trying to make anyway

[brittle venture]

you research excav or the rubber upgrades

you can get like 500 rubber if you want

[wooden wyvern]

huh

[brittle venture]

like its not very hard

but you can play as you want

it just has to be known it really isnt that hard

[wooden wyvern]

i didnt know that

[brittle venture]

also germany gets like +2 rubber per ref anyway from focuses

[wooden wyvern]

i mean i never built all that many but it seemed to take a while compared to just shitting out more mils

so i assumed it wasnt worth it

ig ill keep that in mind

[brittle venture]

it takes longer but the payoff is good

[gritty lava]

<@&846894118219022336>

[brittle venture]

sorry

[gritty lava]

For what?

[brittle venture]

late :(

[north pebble]

Sorry if this is the wrong place to suggest this, but can we get the feature to use our Army and Air XP to boost research speed similar to Naval XP?

[vestal inlet]

ts is lowk golden

[keen totem]

makes perfect sense actually

[fresh cedar]

Would be cool if you could dump it into special projects too

[pastel flume]

yeah considering that theres less of a need of xp now that doctrines are gained through mastery after the subdoctrine is picked

[lost sentinel]

Horrible idea, gotta nerf naval xp

[vestal inlet]

it makes perfect sense if ur armys been in more combat u have more experience to make better designs for future

small bonuses nothing insane

[stable tusk]

Honestly this is a good suggestion and the best place to actually get the developers to see it is the Paradox Forums (since that's where the devs actually read player suggestions)

[north pebble]

Thanks, just submitted it on the forum so we’ll see what happens.

[stable tusk]

Hope somebody looks at it and actually adds it in, it's genuinely a great idea

[thick edge]

wait for the minmaxers to find an exploit with this

[brittle venture]

well you already have a lot of XP now

you dont need to exploit it

[lofty chasm]

did the axis get buffed or did the allies/comintern get nerfed?

[trail elbow]

The allies have very old focus trees, so of course they are weaker

They need to rework France and UK's focus trees

[vestal inlet]

real

[sweet scarab]

USA,France and UK need a rework

The allies in general..

[vestal inlet]

and USSR

and spain

[thick edge]

USSR is great

Wdym

[vestal inlet]

has to be ragebait

whole industry tree locked by a "major war"

despite the fact the five year plan is purely commie and it stays if ur white russia etc.

plus its just outdated

if japan goes support kodoha then ur russia game is done no industry for u and gl fighting in siberia

[high thistle]

Did bulgaria get new focus tree?

[compact fractal]

may you send a photo

if you can

[compact fractal]

I think that is the DLC focus tree

you may have gotten it from a DLC you've gotten, or you somehow changed the code to make the game you think you got the DLC

[high thistle]

No-dlc bulgaria doesnt have a focus tree its the generic one thats the same for all of the minor nations? And no i didnt change the code to make it so i have the DLC?

[compact fractal]

somehow you got a focus tree without downloading a DLC

do you have any DLC's at all?

[high thistle]

I have the monthly subscription one

[compact fractal]

don't know what it has

[high thistle]

So all dlc

[compact fractal]

oh

so you do have it

thats why you got the focus tree

[high thistle]

Yes but what I am saying it the previous month it was different now its different? Like it has additions that didnt previously were there, like a lot? and focuses like plot against boris are gone?

[compact fractal]

something is going on there

maybe the developers changed the game

and I didn't know about it

[verbal wave]

looks like a mod

[high thistle]

Well thats what I want to know? Whether they updates (which is what i hope) or i downloaded some kind of mod or something unintentionally? So how to confirm if its a mod?

[compact fractal]

i actually don't have the DLC's, so I can't help you much further

[verbal wave]

its definitely a mod

[high thistle]

Alr thank you though

[compact fractal]

so thats how I got them I mean

[high thistle]

How to check?

[compact fractal]

you are welcome

[verbal wave]

are you using the paradox launcher?

like you should know

[compact fractal]

a

[high thistle]

Alr it turns out while I was putting music mods i accidently put a mod pack, but anyway is this mod better or some because it has different focus tree, simply better put together and easier? Like the normal focus tree only has a few paths and once you go in them you shouldn't make ANY mistakes or the whole gameplay is wasted?
