>!CAUTION!

Steam Workshop is bad for quality control.
HoI4 has a Swastika Detector.
Lack of OoB and a subpar political system makes a less-than-decent HoI game.
East VS West was supposed to be the true saviour of the HoI series.

>!CAUTION!

Paradox has paid shills in these threads. Their main tactic right now is to present HoI4 as 'cool' and 'improved' while displaying older Hearts of Iron games such as HoI3 and DH as 'archaic' and 'shitty'.

Basically, they're shitting on the old and trying to push the new so that it becomes the mainstay in /gsg/. This is what happened with EU3 being tossed to the side and EU4 being the new 'go-to' EU game despite it's inherent inferiority to it's predecessor.

Keep true to the tradition games. EU2/EU3, Ricky/Vicky2, DH/HoI3, CK2 pre-Horselords, and Knights of Honor.

I'm encountering some kind of bug. As Germany I have my troops holding the front line against the French while I have another army in Italy on the border with France ready to break the Maginot line from behind but for some reason they refuse to cross the border into France from Italy. Instead they try to go around the fucking Alps. This shit is fucked and is killing my fun.

It keeps extending my Belgian frontline into the province bordering Luxembourg, and it's fucking everything up. I keep fixing it, but every first of the month the AI resets it, and my units get all mixed up, and I have to move everything back.

>>145249892
take all of the prestige techs you can, as soon as they're available, so you can inflate your score and become a GP when you don't deserve it.

>>145250387
Why WOULDN'T you prestige spam? Because it doesn't help that you would still have shit industry and military? That's the only reason I can think of as to why.

>>145250205
Nope no mods we are both brand new to the game, played the tutorial and then went to start a game. I hosted first and the game just kept auto pausing and saying my friend was 2 days behind but pausing never caught him back up like it does in CK2. He tried to host and within 10 seconds there was the out of sync message and how we should save the game and stop playing or bad things will happen message.

Might have to just wait for some patches on this one.

>>145250551
I do it, I'm just telling you why it's looked down upon. Because of it, you end up with meme shit like Bavaria or Saxony commonly getting GP status

>game shifts away from feudalism and towards monarchy
>fight off your own nobles with standing armies and ally with rising merchant class

Anyone know what settings I should use for making portraits?

What is the best way to manipulate US politics with historical focus on? Like, to prevent US from joining Allies or turning them commie/fascist so they left Allies and joined Comintern/Axis. I tried to support communist party and spent a year staging a coup only for it to result in a civil war in which commies were obviously crushed. If as Germany you don't let Japan in Axis, will US still join Allies an declare on you after Pearl Harbor?

>>145252582
Yes they currently collaborate using the US military. If the EU were to unify into a superstate however, the US military would no longer be necessary. The EU military could serve as a valid substitute and compete with the US military. There would effectively be two superpowers each possibly being driven by different agendas. Perhaps in this timeline, the US serves as a power for nationalism while the EU serves globalism and a sort of cold war emerges

If by manually you mean actually painting them, then no. They're made using historical photographs along with a bit of Photoshop pottery to make them 'look' like portraits.

Basically Paradox had made up some flags, and done stuff like assign people at the 1936 start who had either retired by '36 or didn't rise to prominence before later on in the war. Might do a more complete thing later.

Well, you could always be fucking Weeb shits and declare war on literally fucking anything

HOI 4 is just too fucking easy

I thought world conquest as Albania sounded insane before release, now I realize how braindead the game actually is

It's the same pattern: You can get 1 "free" country as in no one gives a fuck when you declare war on your first neighbor, after that the UK and France will guarantee the next country you claim on. You can ignore that and defeat the sporadic 2 div naval invasions by the UK and happily continue your blobbing spree in a world where supplies doesn't matter and tank divisions can drive from France to China without ever thinking about fuel.

Oh, I just remembered. I forgot to re-balance the starting convoy amount. While working, I gave Norway 1000 starting convoys to model Nortraship, but the game is kind of retarded about how it handles convoys, and a more appropriate amount might be in the 600-400 ballpark.
The game doesn't account for historical convoy amounts.

>>145262497
Seriously? All you need is a garrison division per port and you're pretty much defended against any naval invasion. Bonus points for building land and naval fort to level 10. A single division can hold the harbor against pretty much anything like that and any troops that land will quickly be stripped of supply and can easily be cleaned up with a motorized division, scrub.

Select your divisions, click the naval invasion plan icon, select a friendly port, click on the provinces you want to invade. Assign your fleets to do missions in the areas the invasion force is going through and air units too if that's not good enough. Once they have had enough days to prepare you should be able to proceed so long as your fleets and air force have obtained superiority.

>>145264347
Also have enough naval technologies otherwise you can't invade them

>>145264347
I did exactly that, but my troops don't move and there's a yellow exclamatory mark telling me that they are unable to find the province or something.

you need to calm down, one game is a logistics simulator and the other is a map painting simulator.

is it funky that you can take all of pooland in 1936?
yes

but is it fun to have ww3 actually be titled "the third american civil war" while restoring the persian and ottoman empire?
yes

youre shitposting way too hard

>>145263735
I'm on the fence to be honest.

The good

-The economy is somewhat interesting, needs a LOT of balancing
-The new navy system has potential
-The focuses/foci are alright
-The peace deal system has potential

The bad

-No desolate zones, you will have to chase down divisions in the middle of Sahara and Australia
-WAY too easy, too much focus on "le sandbox" and multiplayer, watch the multiplayer streams Paradox did, they meme around with naval invasions into Sweden as the UK in 1940 with fully motorized armies, paradropping 1 paratrooper into Berlin just because memes, and they are LOVING it
-Air combat is absolutely fucked
-The AI is total garbage with no direction, does naval invasions 24/7 in backwater provinces and never trying to get a port to resupply and just ends up going 0% org because of attrition
-The political system is fucked, I can only imagine the multiplayer cancer when someone starts converting your country to another ideology in the span of 2 years
-The supply system makes no sense, there is no fuel or anything for motorized or tanks, you can literally drive a tank div from 1 end of the world to another without ever thinking about fuel, resources are ONLY for production, not sustain

And tonnes of more shit

Yeah I mean, why not just turn the series into 1 big memebox XD

is there a console command to switch province RGO? this iron/coal sortage in hpm is gamebreaking

>>145264519
also i was thinking that, not even 6 years esp. in multiplay. get someone playing germany, japan and nationalist spain all influencing you + donald trump as your first government modifier and youre good to go. its pretty autistic

>excuses to lazily shitpost
shitpost all you want but apply yourself.

there are better, more creative and crafty shitposters out there. aspire to be them, or dont be a shitposter.

It's a REAL wargame, you plan everything. If you want micro everything go play warcraft 3 or Starcraft 2
