Reminder that SteIIaris has its own general and discussion of the game doesn't go here. Thank you.

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

Not a single encirclement was made.
Didn't got the 50% battleplan bonus either, just manually attacked.
All I did was have my troops train for 1 year. No brigade attachments.
Only outnumbered them by 3-4 divisions. My general's skill was 3.

Nice game Paradox.

Been playing for 11 hours with a 5 hour sleep break and this is the most fun I've had in fucking ages, and I've only declared war once to annex Ireland. There's quite a few things I don't like, like the fact that the map isn't solid, some civil war events are bugged so Poland keeps having civil wars every single year but overall I think this could be Vicky II tier if Paradox tries to actually fix it and doesn't pander to reddit.

Still not as good as Darkest Hour though.

Fix fascism in British dominions. They shouldn't get rid of the union jack from their flags. The main change should be adding the lightning flash to the small Union jacks on the dominion flags.

Hourly reminder HOI4 has only 483 unique minister portraits, compared to 17,524 in Darkest Hour, and 17,698 in HOI3, and this doesn't even take into account identical men wearing different suits; so the actual title is probably even lower.

What you see is a single Soviet province in my territory where Japanese troops with whom I am at war retreated into. I can't get them out and sometimes they randomly manage to attack from neutral territory for whatever reason. They've honestly covered my entire front with Russia with troops. They have tons of troops in Russia for unknown purposes. It's all kinds of fucked up, just like those Americans and Brits wh aren't invited into my lands, but there they are.

Can anyone tell me what exactly is plan value? What does it do? Also, when I declare war on a country and give my commander the order to execute it, he always gets those negative modifiers.

For instance right now Japan is using the IJA flag instead of the state flag which would be identical to the present-day flag. Likewise, Romania's coat of arms was only present on the war flag, not the state flag, which was the bare tricolour.

gross italianums.jpg
282KB, 1366x768px
so I pretty much spent all day playing as Italy, and here is my two cents

1)ai is too defensive and builds shitty divisions
2) the naval system is an interesting concept, enjoyed playing with submarines and carriers, but disliked how long it took to build ship; to rival Britain you have to basically put your entire industry into naval ports and even then a single shitty battle (or if a port strike takes you unawares) can effectively decimate your entirenavy and take you out of the game

3)handling aircraft is very finicky and take a lot of time to move, deploy, missions state and produce them. Equally it's pretty shitty when you have 500 fighters in your main port region and they cant find and fight the 200 port bombers coming to wreck your fleet. Tried out strategic bombing but felt it was more a multiplayer system

4)the industry is a bit mixed, you sepdn a lot of time building a metric ton of civilian factories if you are naval incline but when the world war hits repairing exisiting factores take so long that you don't build any more industry and simply steal others. Infrastructure and supply might as well not be there as supply does very little to affect you army and you can walk through the sahara desert with a 30 division stack without worrying too much

5) division of territory congresses rarely occur because of the german events that effectively allow them full conquest of territory

6) late game teching up is a massive chore (1941 onwards) as you don't really need to because of the braindead ai, and the supply needed to tech up , replace and upgrade all your units just chokes your industry

8) equally, the fact technology trees are so linear means that you aren't committed to one style of play=same game everytime

summary

it will probably be good with human opponents, but altogether the ai really lets the game down, and some of the controls and management systems are downright tedious to use. I rate it a 6/10 needs more work
>>

Yeah the actual percentage of positive reviews really doesn't matter, you could probably remove all positive reviews for all they're worth

So let me get this straight
At a treaty the AI will use all it's points in the first few turns and then never do anything else, thus allowing you to skip 60 turns and annexing everything.
And you have to do that because you have to take all the possible lands from the loser

Also, if you release a nation they will have the same leader, the same government and no bonus opinion.

Italy stayed Italy, Poland should stay Poland. Legionnaires Bulgaria, Legionary Romania etc should just be Bulgaria, Romania and so on as well.

Iads to be very honest with you

HOI4 is their most successful game so far. A lot of the stuff in it is unbalanced and kinda broken, true, like the arrow system, but you must admit that not a single gsg they've released so far had that much depth at release. All of them were even worse. Go try HOI3 without expansion if you don't believe me, holy fuck its BAD

I'm pretty convinced that after 3 expansions, and a full overhaul mod, it will be literal perfection

No, I kind of agree with you a bit, but with Paradox it's two steps forwards, one... maybe two back. It feels as though Paradox have lost the zest they had for history in the old games, everything is becoming more and more bland. Historical accuracy is going down despite better capacity to accommodate it, and the events are just awful.

A fascist Turkey is going to try to reclaim their lost glory and they can't claim ethnic reasons for their expansionism, that's why they adopt the name Ottoman empire even though their is no ottoman ruler anymore.

Reich in German means Realm, not Empire. Directly translated German Reich is German Realm. Wiemar Germany was still officially called 'Deutsches Reich'. There was no 'Third Reich', the old Wiemar government was continued with changed laws and a changed flag, but it never changed it's name from Deutsches Reich which it kept since it's formation in 1871.

'Wiemar', 'Imperial' and 'Nazi' Germany are just historical periodizations for the same country which officially ended in 1945.

Alright, I've worked out the unclear aspect of 'neutrality'. It refers to the ideology at game start. Some countries have Democratic ideology, some have Communist ideology, etc. This is quite silly because Poland was democratic but does not have Democratic ideology.

So 'neutrality' = Non-Aligned. USA is Democratic. France is Democratic. If both were to become Non-Aligned, they would turn into the CSA and a monarchist nation respectively.

It all makes sense now.

Fielded your comments about fascist Turkey and it shall be named 'Turkish State', just like many nations have been renamed '____ State' (eg. Swedish State, Australian State, etc).

Btw Poland will not be called 'Polandiums' like in the picture, that was just a test to get to grips with Paradox's shitty definitions of concepts in their files.

Here's a look at the diplomatic view, red generally just means I have a casus belli on them, I'm at war with Mainz.

I think at this stage in the game my plans are to just lay low with my empire for awhile, fight off and maybe pick the French blister a little.

In terms of my next targets it's either Ireland or Scotland, who I get free "temporary" casus belli against until 1821. I think I'll try Ireland because while Scotland can be considered easier because of a land connection, a lot of it is hills which is not good for the cavalry army I'm sporting at this point in the game.

It can because Vichy France is actually a separate tag from regular France. So if you get exiled regular France to go fascist it's also known as Vichy France, separate from the German puppet Vichy France.

Check the game files. There are two separate tags.

This one is good. It puts the French national fasces on the flag. Both represents the French nation as well as fascism, and it's neutral. It can be used by any kind of France. Napoleonic, Monarchist, military rule, popular uprising etc.

What Germany gives up in contributions it receives back from guaranteed, tarrifless markets within the EU and a Euro currency kept low and relatively cheap due to struggling poor southern members. Greece is the perfect example.

Remember, Germany is an export economy. One that produces expensive, high quality goods at that. National tariffs and a strong, expensive currency aren't good for that shit.

Besides, it's largely German taxpayers who are footing the contribution bills and suffer for it. Big business and the politicians they bribe in return for cosy post-political positions aren't that bothered by large EU contributions.

As it stands, Germany has most to gain from the EU out of all European countries sans the Eastern European ones who have invested their subsidies wisely instead of using them to prop up expensive welfare states.

Actually, if you put the mouse over "Non-Alligned" in a Non-Alligned nation, you will get different descriptions of what it is, for example, in Non-Alligned Poland is

>Oligarchy is a form of government in which a group of people rule with absolute power

In Non-Alligned Turkey is

>Despostism is a form of government in which a single person rule with absolute power

So, the only way to know exactly what Non-Alligned means for a specific country is to make them change to Non-Alligned and seeing it in the tooltip.

Here's another big question. Is Communist Spain orange because I chose to go with the State? Would the State have been coloured orange had I gone with the Republic? Would the Republic have turned Communist if I chose to go with them?

I would much rather have the State be orange rather than the Republic. It's tradition

no point

run at a supply deficit at the first year and do ZERO trading, it wastes civilian factories that you need to use to build more industry

then in 1937 you can start trading for supplies and start producing shit

Alright. Took the side of the Republic this time, and so the State is orange. I also turned Communist again, automatically. I'll give it another run-through - the game presents you with two options around March to either boost popularity of the communist party or let Falange take over leadership. Those are the only two options and I believe picking the first one leads the Republic to turn into a Communist country as soon as the Civil War breaks out.

But why does it not do this when the AI is left to Spain? I've never seen the Republic become Communist before under AI control.

Alright I have been putting this off for the entire time you've been doing this, over a month now, atleast. I am really fucking annoyed by this meme. Victoria 2 is a great game, by far the greatest grand strategy of all time, in no other game can you manage an economy, your pops, your diplomacy, your taxes, your army and your sphere of influence at the same time. Victoria 2 takes every element of every game and makes it great. Your pathetic fucking mana/dynasty/OoB/insert single issue game simply can't compete. I've tried playing them, believe me. They are pathetic. You play them and you only have to manage one, maybe, two things. Hah, what is this mess? It's a botched job. A complete write off. And sure, if you like that sort of purile simplistic shit then more power too you, it's not my job to kick down your sandcastle. But why must I spend my time arguing this with you? Just because Victoria 2 is too complex for you doesn't mean it is for everyone. And when challenged you crawl back into your same abhorrent memery, because that's all this is, you don't have the slightest clue what you're saying or who you're messing with, because if you did you'd stop. Go back to playing your blob simulator, little man, because this general belongs to us. The true strategy gamers. Not your lame, disgusting casual shit. And you know the worst part? We can't even meme back. Hell, I'm sure there's some really overpowered trade good in EU4, but we can't say "hurr durr naval supplies" or whatever because the simple fact is nobody has played your favoured game since EU3, back before they dumbed it down for people like you. So well done, my friend, you made an intellectual victoria 2 fan MAD. You've achieved your greatest feat since you formed grossulmiums, mark this on your wall as a victory for your abysmal existence because I can tell you now, kiddo, this is your peak.

only real way to counter Britain's massive airpower and naval advantage is to spend nearly the entirety of early game spamming naval ports and civilian factories while only making fighters.

Even then a port battles are so overpowered a single port attack can destroy your entire fleet. The way I beat Britain on the seas and the skiy was to spam fighters, make about 50 subs for convoy raiding then mained carrier, destroyer and heavy cruiser spam.

naval bombers can rape now, but you first need to find the enemy fleet and second survive their complement of fighter support, which means you need your own fighters which means more industry being used to make naval bombers AND fighters

wheras if you just rolled fighters you'ed save the industry, deny the enemy naval bombers and effectively just spend industry on naval vessels and fighters

ai can't build decent divisions, nor counter your divisions, nor can it engage in rapid and aggressive offensive operations. It simply exploits empty provinces, then stops/ gets stopped by the next unit it encounters along the way, before evacuating from the beachhead once more units come to block it's line of advance

literally played an Italy campaign, has the americans and british land in Africa, advance 3 provinces EXTREMELY FUCKING SLOWLY before I could react, then they simply stopped and retreated off the beachhead after I reinforced the local area

Yes, but with 3x3 you uses 3 regiments instead of 2 and each regiment can have battalions of one type (infantry/armor/mobile).

They already kinda did, inf without art has low soft attack and not hard attack/peircing, and tanks without infantry have no hp, so you have to mix them even in specialized divisions.

step 3) wait the assigned preparation days before invading by clicking on the commence battle plan button, you may need naval ships nearby for naval supremacy or planes/ships for intelligence

You can shave off like 7-8 bucks on a key site, but probably still no.

Yes
Inb4 incoming DH shills

Its not even worth torrenting.

How do you deal with air superiority when they keep bombing your factories so you cant produce shit?

Hi /gsg/. I've never really played a strategy game like EU4 or the likes. Im on vacation from work this week and want to start playing games like these. Where should I start? What's a good gsg beginner game? Thanks.

stop having fun.

>>144767593
It's not a grand strategy because it has a focus tree?
>>
so I'm going to force myself to learn how to play hoi3, even if I have to go full training wheels with the ai control

should I start with vanilla (all dlc obviously) or get downfall or black ice right away?
>>
>>144767638
Start with DH, then move to HoI3, then decide which one you like.
>>
>>144767738
>>144767638
But DH is a good game. You should try it if you find HoI3 a bit overwhelming.
>>
>>144767636
wew

People are shitting on the game because it's made for retards like you

>>144767836
Start by reading the OP
>>
I have a question regarding civilian factories in HOI4. For example, I am playing Italy in the tutorial. It tells me to build some civilian factories. Should I just fill up all my provinces with civilian factories? Or should I only make a handful of them and spread them like 1 in each province? Also, do they cost anything to make outside of time?
>>
>every central america leader uses the same portrait

What the fuck, Paradox?

>>144767638
No, HoI3 is the worst entry in the series. Play either 4 or DH.

>>144767636
It's a good game, it just suffers from Paradox syndrome as expected. The AI is kinda broken at the moment and some numbers need tweaking.

>>144753917
it's night time, your soldiers need sleep from all the exercise
>>
>>144767638
The third one has a lot of redundant mechanics that most people automate that make people feel smart for suffering through, just play the new one.
>>
Finished a game as Turkey. Anyone recommend a really fun minor/non-aligned country?

>>144767738
Why was DH removed from the OP image?
>>
>>144767921
You should spend the first year building civilian factories, then after that fill up your provinces with dockyards and military factories.
They don't cost anything other than time.

what time period interests you the most? eu4 and ck2 are the easiest, along with the just released hoi4, so do you enjoy the age of discovery and colonization, or medieval holy wars?
you could also attempt to jump into victoria 2. it'll be harder, but if you really like the industrial revolution it might be worth going to that first

you could also play stellaris if you want space exploration. it's their easiest game and not considered a full on grand strategy game

1939 Romania. 1939 because 1936 start has neutral foreign policy spirit that prevents you from declaring war.

>>144768101
So we don't keep 3 HoI games, the older one was removed
Besides DH was aimed at casuals, now we have HoI4 for that

But military factories cost factory slots?

Hey this is for the guy doing the Chinese Pirates AAR whenever he comes back but I remember you had to mod in a new religion so that Confucians can attack other Confucians but secular Confucian sounds dumb so I want to know if you ever considered making them Muslims or Christians, since both existed in China, the Christians being a sect banned by the Ming government.

Also, what government type are you using for the pirates, a custom one or one of the regular republics?

>>144768262
But HoI4 is worse.

Quality post

>>144767593
That's retarded. Hoi3 isn't gs either, it's accounting simulation. Vic2 is industrial build up simulator. Ck2 is rpg. Like fuck off, nothing is gs.

Except dh obviously.

>>144768447
Forget the OP, the replies show the people are getting redpilled.

Worse than HoI3 but better than DH

Hoi3 is better than Hoi4, and Hoi3 was a clusterfuck.

It counts unit in production as 'used'

>>144766780
Yeah, I think "tomatocow" is still a banned word on the Off Topic forum.

They still have a forum where they circlejerk

I posted there once but it was like a smaller circlejerk of 4chan with more blogposting and namefagging

It keeps saying that there are no units in the battleplan but they are obviously obeying them
