Princess Sao, the terror of the South China sea and the first true ruler of the Haizei pirates, left the world for the great ocean beyond, at the age of 64. Her adopted daughter, Yuantong, would succeed her. Though few would miss Cheng Sao's furious temper, they feared her daughter even more. Yuantong had a reputation for poisons and trysts ending in blood, reportedly killing her lovers when she tired of them.

Where Cheng Sao's reign had been one of fire, Yuantong's would be one of blood.

Though the sad excuses for clergy had long been run out of Haizei territory, there were pirates who might be counted among the faithful. These "old grumblers" were captains who had not only had successful careers at sea, but had lived long enough to retire. Their advice and counsel was well heeded by any who had the courage to call themselves a ruler in the free isles.

Their advice on the native unrest wracking the thinly spread Haizei was simple: trinkets, baubles, and bribes. As long as the tribal elders were kept happy, they claimed, the locals would quiet down with their absurd demands for the newcomers to go.

Does anyone care about these posts/this run? If no one is interested, I'll leave y'all be.

I'd focus on other shit, if you invade the British isles you'll get your shit back anyways.

By the late 15th century, the Haizei pirates nominally controlled much of the northern Philippines. Although the natives inland paid the pirates little mind beyond trade and resolving occasional skirmishes, Haizei port towns flourished along the coast. Chinese pirates brought their riches to the islands, and after giving Mistress Sao her tribute, they were free to resupply and rest in safety.

To illustrate the extent to which the Red Flag fleet was able to hold Chinese shipping hostage, one can view Ming records of the year 1490. By their estimates, a full third of merchant traffic emerging from the Yangtze river and the nearby coastal cities was either seized or forced to pay tribute to Yuantong Sao.

Yuantong, did not indulge in the raids on poor coastal villages like her adoptive mother. Rather, vessels which defied the fleet would have their crews decimated and the survivors enslaved, with a sole free man left to spread the word of what had occurred.

I think I'm done for tonight, I'll pick this up again tomorrow. Being a pirate is insanely fun. This is something that EU4 legitimately better than EU3 (the custom nations and piracy in general).

I don't know how it works in Heart of Iron 4 but Romania has an oil refinery in 3 and Iraq has a fuck ton of oil. They're both closer, especially if you annex Turkey since you can just walk into Iraq. If it works like Heart of Iron 3 then Yemen and so on will be allies so you'll have to annex them anyways if you fuck aroud with the Brits and want to win.

Joining Axis depends on what you want to do, in HoI3 it's good for lower neutrality and research/supply bonuses. Just make you sure you don't accept German offers to join the war until you're ready or you'll get rekt no doubt.
You could just do your thing and wait if what happens in the East, if Germany gets rekt by the Soviets invade Germany for IC and if they don't join Axis and invade the Soviets.

>>144717250
step one) draw a frontline by usually holding right click and dragging it over the enemies border

step 2) highlight the units you want to assign to that front line

step 3) if their in that theatre already, the battleplan system should appear, click on assign divisions

step 4) with the units highlighted and assign divsions button pressed, left or right click the frontline/assault option you want them to do

step5) if the units begin to move to that frontline, then the assignment has been completed

also, create borders with the attack plan, not arrows, as the ai will attempt to simply push down that single point

>>144719909
Did you go for upper class fascist support or popular uprising? Might depend on that, I guess. Did you get a civil war happening?

Obviously HOI4 wasn't out yet so I never worked on that part but I did take a look at HOI3 to get a general idea on what I would have to convert. That's when shit started going down on the general so I stopped.

There isn't that much to convert and I could probably get the first version out in 1 month. I just don't want to be involved in the shitstorm a HOI4-Stellaris converter would cause right now so I'm gonna wait 1 or maybe even 2 years till I start working on it again. By then stellaris will be long forgotten.

>>144715328
so far what i'ev found in HOI4

port strikes too OP, 30 port bombers wiped out 32 battleships, cruisers and destroyers

Yep. I got a fascist cabinet minister for the fascists support, followed the events which gave fascist support and chose the upper class or internal cabinet or whatever it was, instead of popular support, and then allowed a referendum and they took over with Mosley as the head of my government. I then received an event where I could choose to have Edward VIII to take control, or keep Mosley.

I honestly don't think that will happen. /gsg/ is one of the oldest generals on /vg/ and one of the largest, if it did ever die there would probably be remnants and in that case I would go to wherever HOI4 is.

Let's say /gsg/ completely dies with no remnants/offshoots. Then I'd probably just scrap it altogether or just release it on my own site. I could never release my shit at the forums or Reddit. Those sites are just too shitty communication wise. /gsg/ allows me to answer people's questions faster and people are more likely to ask questions or report bugs when you can do it fast and anonymously. I know because I've modded for /gsg/ before.

What would the converter convert exactly?

/gsg/ has disappointed me numerous times before, but not as much as in the present with the shameless and visceral attack on Hearts of Iron IV. Why on earth need a bunch of alienated, nihlistic young adults with social maladjustment spend their short, numbered days attacking a video game that fails to live up to their arbitrary standards? Good or not, the ideal game /gsg/ imagines is unattainable. These people spend their time bemoaning the lack of polish and features to a game that nonetheless be accepted and enjoyed by the vast majority, and push for features that will only be found in their imaginary ideal game. Most of the hairs split by these posters are indeed confined to the realm of fantasy. They see themselves as the arbiter of taste in the medium yet have no experience or qualifications in creating content to justify their insatiable thirst for perfection. Their very bodies tremble at the thought that normal people such as you or I may find fun in something they deem to be so disingenuous and flawed in its nature. What you or I see in good, valuable content to them appears twisted and distorted. Ultimately the posters who so viciously attack games made by passionate people in the industry are channeling their own frustrations at never being given the chance to create the game that lives up to their impossible standards. This, and this alone, is the true reason that /gsg/ has continued to be a source of insecure, disagreeable young 'gamers'; a term I use loosely for these people, in their hatred, have lost the true spirit of what it means to be a gamer in the end.

I have one problem from playing HOI3 and that is, that i usually have to clean up a clusterfuck of divisions all over the map.

Is this resolved or at least stream lined in hoe4?

I mean i understand for historical reasons they do that but fuck it's irritating.

Even if i merge divisions i end up with 4 infantry brigades in one division, which are fantastic at getting killed anywhere but woods.

also i heard you now assign equipment to a division or something? does that mean i actually get to choose the quantity/quality of transport companies and other non-combat attache?

The only hint I'll give you is that I'm not rob. I don't even know why he became a meme. His mod was just his personal tweak of vickymod and nobody really played it. I always thought rangerage would become more of a meme because he literally left for Reddit.

Been playing hoi4 as Peru on recruit for first play and it's been good fun since it's the only one that starts out fascist. Took Ecuador and I've spent the last couple of years strengthening up. About to invade Brazil and I have 40 divisions (thanks to conscription) I think Brazil might have 5. This might go for all of the South American countries so I'm interested what will happen with a major power axis nation down there.

they lost apart from a tiny part in Galicia, I ended up being able to invite them and then there were 10 nip divisions defending it until I could push in from France to defeat Republican Spain.

The world war started over Italy wanting Greece so I didn't even have Poland when I ended up at war with France.

I transferred Republican Spain and African provinces to Nationalist Spain/Italy to prevent some of the border gore though

Coups and assisting subsequent civil wars. USSR was actually winning till I destroyed it from the inside and Japan and Germany finished it off. That tiny dot and star under the 'r' on German Reich is my couped USSR, a fascist Russia.

just be Italy and see how i go actually researching tanks heavier than a ride on lawn mower.

Historically their troop quality was average to great, but constantly hampered by officers forced into service or not giving enough of a fuck about their men.

For example
>We have these elite Alpini troops
>Incredible selection process, only the finest men will do
>lets send them to Greece
>in winter
>with no winter uniforms
>and then send these mountain specialist troops to the Ukrainian steppe.

I dunno, Italy seemed like it had a lot of promise but their were dick ups all the way up the command chain anything past tenente.

I like these games because i can see how things may have panned out if X country had done Y instead of Z.

Their divisione folgore, alpini, san marco marines, bersaglieri, most of their Artillery divisions were also specially chosen men.
If i remember correctly their San Marco marines also made the worlds first frogmen, and they've got a pretty good ship tonne:casualty ratio going on.

It isn't AI competence so much as AI incompetence on the part of Germany. How the fuck can the AI be so good at defending against Germany when Germany literally has no idea how to war? Germany should have 0 issues with rolling over France, with its superior industry and all the beneficial modifiers it gets to everything.

Fall of France SHOULD be a simple thing, in HoI3 it was one of the few things that literally could not be fucked up unless you intentionally sabotage it.

Because they need a port or they run out of supply, basically real life allies cheated the supply system by not invading any ports.

That's wrong though. I had the allies try a naval invasion on this one provice between brittany and the rest of northern france at least 30 times before they finally massed enough troops for it. It didn't have a port or anything on it, just an empty province.

I know what SKIFs are but if im finished with game some extra flair wont change it. I do appreciate the suggestion though.

The AI heavily favours the defense, since the defense AI is pretty good about keeping an even spread and prioritising areas of the front that are vulnerable. I don't know if it's so advanced as to put tanks onto flat ground and
The attacking AI is fucking retarded though. If you mouse over your invasion line thing it shows you the order that it will take provinces. However it doesn't deviate at all from that order, if there's a vacant province on the other side of a major river, it won't move up to take it. There's also some issues where if you manually create a bulge to try and flank around the offensive line could actually flip around and it will try to take everything behind the line while ignoring the things in between your front and your offensive line.

Also France always does so well because the German AI really really likes attacking the maginot line.

>>144725882
> Fall of France SHOULD be a simple thing
Why? Germany won not because of superior numbers and industry, but because French General Staff made a mistake of not having reserves and Guderian was crazy enough to keep pushing to the coast with his flanks exposed disregarding direct orders from German General Staff. Again, Fall Gelb was a pure luck, and without it the war on the west would have evolved into a slow meat grinder. I think there should be no fast Fall Gelb unless the player controls Germany and do it manually. Or it should happen, like, 1 in 10 times.

HoI games are supposed to be quite railroaded

Same as with Vicky 2 most challenge comes from overcoming the limitations and beating the odds.
All they had to do was make ai more adaptive to global politics

why is HOI IV allowed here but Stellaris isn't?

stellaris is more GS than HOI IV

Wow really makes you think

>>144727091
It's sad to say that this is somewhat true

>>144726971
> HoI games are supposed to be quite railroaded
Well, yes, but in the political aspect, not in the military one. I think National Foci is a good idea and they actually make a good job of upholding the historicity without being HoI3-tier railroaded, but they can't influence combat directly.

This game really sucks ass. At least in stellaris you still had to spam ships to win, all you do in this game is draw a line as gross germania then win the game

These games have really been shitty and started falling around CK2.

Not even memeing. Stellaris is more complex than some areas of HOI4

>>144726708
>The AI heavily favours the defense
Iv seen this too. AI does not attack flanks or use units which are behind the lines.

Get enough distance inside enemy lines and AI will not follow you.

You do realise the way WW2 happened was mostly due to pure luck? Allies could've said 'no, fuck off' to the anschluss or Czechoslovakia at any fucking time. One of the many assassinations attempts on Hitler could've actually succeeded. Mosley could've drawn more inspiration from Mussolini instead of Hitler and kept drawing in rebelling Tories and Labour members instead of going full gas the kikes.

A lot of historical WW2 happened only due to pure luck. We could've either not had a World War or had a very different one.

What did you lads mean by this?

>>144727661
They explain it pretty simply.

Fascist Empire parties wouldn't leave the Empire.
The Empire is STILL poorly modeled and their connection is STILL wrong.

As i said anon - make it railroaded/event based like Kaiserreich but with ai actually being able to adapt around it

I have free military factories but somehow they are red when I assign them to something, why?

>>144727717
Oh, you mean Canada going 'Canadian Empire' and having the leaf flag and fucking off from you? I also supported fascists in the British Raj and it resulted in a 'Nationalist India' that fought both the British Raj AND me the guy who fucking supported them.

>>144727579
Hearts of iron games have always been the most railroaded paradox game though. Even the least railroaded Hearts of Iron game, darkest hour, rarely strayed from history unless the player did.

Distant Worlds doesn't really belong here either. The only reason we haven't kicked it out yet was because it wasn't a meme like aurora. We'll replace it with Vicky 3

I mean how poorly Schisms between the British Nation.

Non-Communist Great Britain in a war against a democratically elected Fascist Australia, Canada or New Zealand?

Pre-Canada Act 1982, Pre-Australia Act 1986, and Pre-New Zealand Constitution Act 1986 is so poorly modeled by HOI it hurts.

On what bloody planet?

I find it hilarious how I wasn't even going to give stellaris a chance till I finally gave into you faggots hyping it up here for months. Then when it finally came out i couldn't even discuss it here.

i can't stop laughing at all the fucks on reddit who actually bought hoiv and stellaris

So, to what extend can I change things if I appoint ministers who shill for other ideologies? For example, USSR has this Kerensky guy who shills for democracy, if I appoint him, can I turn USSR into a democracy, disband Comintern and joint Allies? Or will it just lead to a Civil War?

>>144728393
Clearly jews designed this.

>oy vey goy it only takes two years of concerted effort to turn any country to any ideology!

Has anyone tried going hippie germanium to see how the AI breaks down?

Why is there no option to play as Nicky in HOI4? This game sucks

How the actual fuck do you get Russia to capitulate? I've taken Stalingrad, Moscow, and Leningrad and then a new capital all the way across Russia appears? No wonder I'll lose the war, I'll run out of man power and supplies before I can get there as Romania

Is hoi4 really as casual as we excpected? Am I better off sticking to 3?

>>144728576
It's worse
But the production system is nice

>>144728576
not casual

>>144728343
Before the British gave up on the Empire, there was a feeling of many of these countries as being part of "The British Nation".

I find it INSANE any of these Nations could un-ally with a non-Communist Great Britain without suffering MAJOR civil wars.

The Raj and South Africa are different stories however.

>there's an empty province on the mongol/china border occupied by japan
>there's 4 chinese soldiers around it
>no one wants to take it

>>144728576
If you already liked it, might as well stick to 3.
4 seems to basically be for people who didn't like 3. It has a few neat ideas but I still prefer 3 from my initial like 15 hours or so.
