desu I kind of prefer the colorized pictures. It's more standardised and it looks comfier

Did Steven Avery do it That is the question, but you also have to provide me with 3 pieces of evidence from each opposite side of the trial (or plural trials haha) or else I won't pay much mind to your rhing. Also offers did Tonya harding do it. Also if I were playing as an eu4 customcountry "america" but I put it in the Europe would Avery not want it to be alove, he's Canadian so it would disrupt his culture. But you know. I always wanted to Fukc a cute cozy little colonial genoaesean empire like teehee <_> that was my face.

what's wrong with the Italian flag? The one with the Eagle on it was only used in the German puppet state 'The Italian Social Republic' after the kingdom of italy defected to the allies in 1943 I believe.

in hoi4 there's a really annoying sound that happens seemingly randomly, sometimes every 2-3 in game hours other times it doesn't happen for a few days. either way it's happening way too much and it's killing me

it sounds like someone's failing to start a car. anyone know what it is and how to stop it?

No, it isn't. None of the minor events - Brown's raid and the Sandford decision - are. They aren't very important outside of the US.

I know it kinda gave the player clues about when the war was about to start, but now you need to either read the news or deal with it as it pops up. The Civil War even is still a major event so you will know.

Kinda makes more sense as you won't be able to plan precisely when the war will start.

Probably extensively. It doesn't appear that the game has any hardcoded railroading so it's very unpredictable between each run. Only thing that stick out like a sore thumb is senseless German warmongering. They literally can't stop declaring wars.

I did the same, Italy had actually made it all the way into Paris, then Spain joined the Allies and pushed us back out. What really boggles my mind is that, we are obviously losing, but Japan ( aswell as Afghanistan and Turkey, but who cares about mudslimes) joined the Axis anyway, and it's not like they needed help, they were winning against China, they need to make some of the diplomacy in this a bit more logical.

that template is fucking horrible
you have a combat width of 33
you want it below 20 so you can have 4 divisions in a battle attacking from direction.
i recommend 2x4 infantry +1 artillery
then add another artillery when you get a field marshal that has the trait that reduces combat width by 10%

Also the brits intercepted my convoys as I was invading the UK so I lost 50% of my arrmy and never bothered to rebuild it

I instead focused on Air which is OP

>>144977683
Which part of "it was a bad idea" do you not understand? Are you illiterate? The reason HoI3 restricted it is because pdx can't code a decent AI. Their incompetence is not a valid reason for why it should be impassable. They should fix low infrastructure supply mechanically and make the AI respect that some things are bad ideas. The player should be allowed to do the most retarded things they can come up with.

Also, I know Italians did retarded things, but even they aren't retarded enough to go through no infrastructure desert. By the time they are out on the other side, they'll probably lose 80% of their forces.

Thanks lads, I fixed it

I'm going to add an event for giving Turkey Hatay and then work on the China focus tree

>>144977375
Someone please tell me there's a way around it or that the /gsg/-mod is gonna fix that some day.
It's so fucking infuriating, it makes me boil with rage.

Maybe if you weren't fucking retarded and actually read how the game works, you would know you can only have 10 divisions in a naval invasion until you research better tech (assuming you even have the first transport tech)

So you're saying you CAN NOT find a single battle or major military movement through the Sahara - Even in Egypts western Desert?
>but it is possible!
if the AI cant handle it it needs to be GONE that's the fucking problem. I DO NOT want to have to fucking draw a battle line through the sahara because I have south africans and brits comming at me through the fucking Sahara WHICH NEVER WOULD EVER HAPPEN IN HISTORY. The fight for africa happened on the fucking coast and South Africa NEVER deployed troops by marching through africa they fucking shipped troops by boat.
>buh its still possible
its also still possible to launch a naval invasion without naval superiority and drop a nuke without air superiorty yet its dissallowed in the game because PLAUSIBILITY

HoI IV has the potential to be an amazing multiplayer game, shame about the AI though

So do you think they will fix the AI? It's probably the hardest thing to fix but as of now, it's just unplayable, it only plays on rails. It's normal for Germany to put their entire army in Zeeland to starve or for France to do nothing even when there is absolutely 0 Germans on the border. Same with Japanese-Soviet border.

>France to do nothing even when there is absolutely 0 Germans on the border
Not exactly ahistorical.

I wish, if your family member is in another reealm or country, that you can convinve them to leave and take their tides with them, and join your country, since blood is thicker then water. Of course if the ruler does not want tha tto happen it would result in a war. My family members/dynasty own half of Byzantium and I hate fighting with family members.

>>144978712
Of course not, do you think army planners are as retarded as you are?

>>144978360
Wtf are you even talking about? I never had volunteer forces sent back, only when the war ends.

podcat on suicide watch

Trying to get HoI3 working on my computer.

I get a file not found error on startup. I deleted the map cashe which lets me play the game, but the next time I want to start I get the same error.

Is there a way to fix this problem without deleting the map cashe each time I want to play?

Soo i know everyone is spamming HOI atm but i have a technical question

Just got into my first multiplayer LAN VIC II game with my partner and everything went well checksums etc.

I am Sweden and she is Norway and everything seemed fine. We decided to feign the war for independence and i just surrendered right away.
Only problem being whenever i sent a peace offer to her she never received it. When she sent a peace offer i DID however receive it.

We got independence this way so i went to ally her and we had the same problem. She wasnt receiving my alliance offer but she could send me one and it would appear.

The big problem is now Denmark decided they want Malmo and i cant call her into a war.

Is this Desync or a fault with unHMM or HPM? (Which i forgot to mention are installed.)

Please help lads.

>implying I chose to deploy in the sahara, I stuck to the coast and then to my dismay hordes of bongs and soyuth africans poured through the sahara and made me draw an ahistorical battleline in the sahara you nitwit

however so you CAN NOT produce ANYTHING to defend this mechanic of troops moving and fighting through the sahara it should be scrapped for the same reason I can not fucking move through wastelands in EU4

HoI4 was never going to be as popular as Stellaris. Casuals can't handle it.

So Finland just joined the EuroCoalition even though it's literally surrounded by Axis and it even went to war with all of the Axis too. How meme is Finland going to do?
