any use for cavalary? why would i ever want to build em?
is there any bonus/malus to which row/column i put units in the division planner? is 2x2, 1x4, 4x1 the same?
for initial frontline coverage i like the auto setup, but any ways to disable the AI to move the units around after? i hate when strengthen one part for a push, then he strategically tries to redeploy units from there to drain the organization...
any ways to make easier to figure out where river crossings are? terrain mapmode?

>>144847113
>any use for cavalary? why would i ever want to build em?
They're mobile like tanks, just without having to produce a shitload of tanks. Soviets in particular are quite fond of cavalry although this game can't portray that well at all.

You could also use them for getting rid of partisans if they spring up, although that was in HoI3. No idea how partisans and the like work now.

>>144847113
>any use for cavalary? why would i ever want to build em?

Cavalry is faster than leg infantry and consumes less supplies than motorized or armour divsions

>is there any bonus/malus to which row/column i put units in the division planner? is 2x2, 1x4, 4x1 the same?

No idea, looks the same to me

>for initial frontline coverage i like the auto setup, but any ways to disable the AI to move the units around after? i hate when strengthen one part for a push, then he strategically tries to redeploy units from there to drain the organization...

>>144847113
> any use for cavalary? why would i ever want to build em?
They have huge suppression, so add some MP to them and send them to fight resistance.
> is there any bonus/malus to which row/column i put units in the division planner? is 2x2, 1x4, 4x1 the same?
No bonus/mauls, but each column(regiment) can have battalions of one class, infantry(+towed art, AA, TD), mobile infantry(+mobile art, AA, TD) or armor(+armored AA, Art, TD), so plan them properly.
>any ways to make easier to figure out where river crossings are? terrain mapmode?
No(t yet).

How the fuck did German industry boom that high at the end of the war?

>>144820582
doubt you're still here, but you might also want to look into the koei gs games like nobunaga's ambition and romance of the three kingdoms. I've not played them, but they seem pretty close to what you want.

>>144847494
does resistance have any effect till they rebel? cause i have the warning constantly that there are some provinces with high resistance, but they dont seem to do anything...

>>144848040
it can cause a civil war as I understand

>>144848040
so I looked into the game files and it turns out the coup will only fire after 1938 which makes the modifier quite penalising

so /gsg/ from a non-rp min/maxing perspective, what's better, purge or trotsky?

>>144848178
Desperate defense, for the majority of the war they didn't fully mobilize their industries.

>>144848178
I believe it's because Germany didn't fully mobilize until then

>>144848040
>>144848251

trotsky has leader traits,
Political Power factor: -15%
Justify War Goal time: +15%
Subversive Activities Upkeep: -30%

haven't tried it myself but maybe a civil war happens?

>>144848178
They only ever went to full wartime production in 1944, the autistic shits

>>144848040
Civil war in USSR costed me 1/2 of my army (they defected to the rebels and never came back) and 2/3 of my airforce, so yeah, in my second game I was happy to purge shit of them and execute my generals.

It was a policy to lower any dissent and increase civilian support.

>>144848221
They don't rebel at all, they blow the factories and infrastructure, cause attrition and reduce resources you get. Check your construction tab, it must be full of repair jobs in conquered provinces.

>>144848178
Germany didn't go into full wartime production until 1943 I believe, Speer took over and there was also a reassessment of what aircraft they should produce, Fighter production got a major jump up while bombers started to get the shaft.

>>144848347
They didn't need it, in the early war they were winning, you know

>>144848312
oh look useless traits

you'll be overflowing with PP anyway, it's basically instead of maxing out the government and diplomacy in january 1941 you do it in september 1941, big fucking difference

justify war goal time means nothing because once the world tension is high enough you get something like -90% anyway

subversive activities only applies to what? boost party popularity? because that's """"""""useful""""""""

if you start in 1936 you can have communist USA/turkey in 1943 instead of 1945, great... because that's useful, they won't join comintern anyway WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT

>>144848250
no, it says you'll get a civil war but later you get the option to "invite trotsky" and then have the coup instead,

Hey reddit

>At the time of Speer's accession to the office, the German economy, unlike the British one, was not fully geared for war production. Consumer goods were still being produced at nearly as high a level as during peacetime. No fewer than five "Supreme Authorities" had jurisdiction over armament production—one of which, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, had declared in November 1941 that conditions did not permit an increase in armament production. Few women were employed in the factories, which were running only one shift. One evening soon after his appointment, Speer went to visit a Berlin armament factory; he found no one on the premises.

Holy shit you're right lads, thank you, I had no idea

What's an example of a cool gimmick dynasty to start out as in CK2? I'm thinking of doing a text-and-screenshot Let's Play for a certain community IRC I'm a member of, but I'd want something interesting.

I'm currently considering the Zunist Zunbil dynasty over in Afghanistan because their religion is neat and seems to have an amazing Decision event in the form of a sun festival that can (somehow) grant congenital traits like Quick and whatnot to your ruler.
And also because they start right next to the Abbasid blob and a bunch of Buddhists as a pagan nation.

Ireland got independent with northern Ireland. This number is the most acceptable result I got, even if they have almost a million people more than they historically had.
Ideally, they could end with more or less people than history, but I guess it will always end up with more.

Yes, I have a few things stuff I want to do. I need to finish my Dwarf Fortress and Distant Worlds stuff. Just a few hours ago I was making a few notes about realistic resources for DW.

I'd probably do something for CK2 next. I'd like to see proper inquisitions, with people burning and accusations and stuff. Also a kind of legal system, where (for some cultures) you could demand trial by combat or trial by ordeal instead of being trowed in prison, or having someone accuse you for fabricating and enforcing claims, or if you are caught murdering or plotting to murder the target could accuse you or you could defend yourself form the accusations of murder.

/gsg/ General Fixes Mod v.0.01 for Hearts of Iron IV is now available for download!

http://www.mediafire.com/download/3gq8ty0p1hhgayp/generalfixesv001.7z

Making HOI great again, slowly but surely.

Changelog at this time (from the readme):
>combed through countries_l_english.yml in localisation folder, renaming countries to their historically accurate names and de-memeing the ones which are too silly
>added correct flags for Japan, Germany, People's Republic of China and Rumania

Now, I will be out for a week from tomorrow so it would be much appreciated if somebody can take over from me and turn this project into something great. Put the link up into the OP so everybody knows that a /gsg/-wide mod project has gotten started and nobody ventures out to fix things by themselves.

It seems more and more than HOI4 is just border gore: the game

It seems that heavy industry reached a peak in the turn of the century, this was shortly before.

I suspect though that the reason the tea and heavy industry are suffering is due to a pretty big war involving most of the GPs including the UK, Russia and France over Ivory Coast.

Mainly involves material properties, especially organic tissue like bones, skin, muscle, organs and such. Stuff like density, tensile, impact and torsion strength against shear and bending yield and fracture strains. Burning, boiling and melting point.

That is due to most organic materials having properties copied form wood and generally behaving like wood. Like a bone in DF behaves almost exactly the same as a piece of wood.

>>144851658
Is there even a effect to reduce population?

>>144851691
Not really, I don't enjoy EU4 that much, sorry. Though to be fair, it's been a long time since last time I gave it a try and some stuff like forts seem to have improved.

Here is a Nazi flag mod. Take a look at it.

http://www.mediafire.com/download/g3gxlrp8tr40ldl/nzaiflagmod.rar

It has one text file for the mod pointing out the directory, several sub directories, and three images. You can see the size of the flags used. They were saved as 32-bit .tga files.

The big flag is used up front for selection, and is at the top left of the screen. A plain flag is overlaid by the ripple fold in the game. The next smaller one is used when you zoom out amongst your units, and the smallest one is the flag for your units.

>>144852016

Thanks, I mainly wanted to help Toady like what happened for specific wood and mineral properties. He filled a lot of stuff with generic info and the community added specific values and submitted it. It seems the same thing happened with a lot of values for organic stuff (which also caused the old but now fixed "undead are indestructible even by magma" bug). It's rather easy to do since I have to work with a lot of forensics shit IRL and people die in strange ways all the times, even stranger depending on the country, but since I had a lot of work for a time it burned my interest in the subject and it's kinda on hold, with stuff that I will probably have to revise and rewrite a changelog.

that defense wasn't the issue, supply was since I was just overun by thousands of allied divisions that cut the maus army off. The armor on those things was so thick that nothing less the medium tanks or dedicated anti tank could scratch them, they were immune to infantry entirely even if they had anti tank upgrades.

The game basically allows you to have one war before war tension rises enough and everyone starts allying and guaranteeing. So what is the best early target for soviets? I puppeted Norway simply because it's a juicy target for Germans, but the only thing I really need is rubber.

He's DARK HITLER

so I'm playing as hungary and I joined the axis. I was preparing for war against bulgaria since the beginning. once I finally declared war on them they joined the allies. finland had also joined the allies after being attacked by both the soviets and germany
so the soviets were attacking bulgaria as well. we both get about the same amount of land, but I get their capital, yet they capitulate to the soviets. same thing happened when we declared war on bulgaria, but in that case the soviets got no land and it was split between germany and hungary

why the fuck are they capitulating to the soviets if we should have won?

How do I do naval invasions?

Cavalry by the end of the 19th century was mainly used as a form of mobile infantry, as infantry is used today. It's not about cavalry charges and such.

set up the plan, select the divisions you want to carry, then hold control and click on the plan
be sure you are able to transfer enough divisions

>>144856693

Germany wanted to get to Greece. I am sure that you know that just not sure why you are pretending that it was not the reason.
