PLZ GSG I NEED YOUR HELP

Playing as USSR right now, decided to conquer the worldz. I'm overstretched right now, getting naval invasions from everywhere. I need to kill the Allies who have more than twice as many divisions as me. The thing is, they have a huge navy and I have a shit navy(I'm playing with the AI research and production mod so they are not shit at producing things).

I can't even invade Sjaelland because the US Navy would sink my convoys. Let alone Britain or USA. I can't produce enough planes because I don't have enough rubber. Heck I don't even have enough oil eventhough I control massives amounts of it.

China and the British Raj are trying to fuck me from the east. I don't know what to do. It looks like the Communist dream is over. What can I do? HELP ME.

I think that production lines is one of the best mechanics that paradox could have implemented, it should be in all games

What do Anti-Aircraft guns do in HOI4?

Not the division level ones, but the ones you create in the construction screen

Is there some culture or whatever that can have multiple wives in CK2?

Like the Indians, Mongols or Muslims or whathaveyou, those people can have more than one wife, right?

Why does the AI in V2 mobilize every time it ends up at war?
It's completely retarded for a country to conscript a fifth of its population in 1860.
Mobilization should barely be a thing until Great Wars come around.

Alright, right now we sit at a tie with Baudouin and Baudouin's vassals both at 9 votes. Because I don't want to run yet another poll, and because Baudouin was winning the poll for the majority of the time, I'm going to tiebreak in his favor: for the CK2 AAR, I'll be starting with Baudouin V of Jerusalem!

Among some other things, I'm probably going to be spending the next few days developing the house rules I'll be playing with in the course of the AAR. Because I've played a fucking shitton of CK2 and because I want to avoid blobbing too hard, anyway, I'm going to be playing with logical rules to enhance the AAR's roleplaying aspects and handicap myself a little bit. I'll probably be posting updates here as I develop the rules, but if anybody has any initial suggestions they're welcome to start throwing them out now.

Keep in mind that the house rules won't be handicaps for no reason, however; everything is going to be logical. There will be vassal range limits (a King of Jerusalem won't be able to control a vassal, or even to profit off of him, in de jure France), because that's logical and reasonable. I will, broadly, be forced to play as my character's traits dictate, because that's both reasonable and roleplay-enhancing. But I will not, say, be restricted from declaring a holy war unless I've waited 20 years--that's wholly arbitrary and has no real-world precedent.

Yes and most people in the western world are trained with test like these at school all the time. If you've never been thought to solve problems in this fashion you're likely to score lower on an IQ test while that wouldn't immediately implicate that you have a lower IQ.

>>146113301

Then you're admitting that some people are genetically inclined to be less intelligent than others. Ashkenazi communities who have lived in Ethiopia for dozens of centuries score average IQs in the hundreds while their genetically Ethiopian compatriots score in the high 60s.

If it's purely the fault of the educational system, why do the Ashkenazi score higher than the Ethiopians in the same country?

I agree, but that doesn't explain the forty point gap. A small improvement, sure, but not forty fucking points.

It also doesn't explain why Ethiopians abroad score lower than whites even having gone through the same education.

However, the particularly low average IQ of Ethiopia probably has a lot to do with malnutrition et al as well. I don't think they're that dumb. Nor do I think that being unintelligent makes you subhuman or somehow strips you of your human rights. But denying the fact that Ethiopia has a low average IQ that cannot be fully explained circumstantially does make you subhuman.

Just torrented HOI 4 to try it, being news to paradox games and such.
What the fuck do I do? I did the tutorial and understood that ok, and production and such in getting a grasp on, but how do I actually use all the equipment and shit that I research and produce? Things like planes and ships are nigh useless to me. Sniped do their job at sea alright, but how do I have them provide naval support for ground troops? And how do I use CAS binders and tactical/strategic bombers? And how do I do amphibious landings?
I feel like there is so much shit that is flying over my head that could really help me get better. And I want to get better and have fun.
Maybe I'm just retarded.

People who inherit retardation are objectively less intelligent than people who aren't mentally retarded. Much the same, people who inherit Ethiopian genes are much more likely to be less intelligent than people who inherit Jewish genes despite living in the same society.

Correct, but make sure they're in the right region or it won't help. It can get confusing when the front on the border. between two regions. Also, ensure they have enough range. Sometimes the fighters won't actually have enough range to cover the entire region and you'll have to move them closer to the front.

Let's look at another case

The United States is both monocultural with a standardized system of education regulated at the national level.

Why do the states with the fewest whites by percentage score the lowest on a rating of average IQ, while the states with the largest amount of whites by percentage score the highest on a rating of average IQ?

All that's left is genes - and this also explains all the other inequality that we see around us.

>>146114975
>IQ test is flawed
No it isn't. It correlates extremely well with success, as does intelligence, so it's a good - albeit indirect - measure of intelligence.

>A measures B
>B indicates C
>A measures C indirectly through C
It's not completely precise, but it's close enough to be useful.

And this is even true here. Ethiopia is not a successful country, and the IQ results reflect that well.

Well, then you can't offhandedly dismiss other factors that might play a much bigger role.

Upbringing, socio economic status, education level of parents/immediate familiars. These and genetics are probably the major ones.
I guess it fits nicely into your meta narrative if it really just boiled down to genetics, one more rationalization to be the xenophobic asshole you already.

Black kids in America score lower on IQ tests than whites at the same level of wealth. For example, in two families with the same structure (single parent, two parents, remarried etc.) and the same wealth, the black kid statistically is about 5-10 points under IIRC.

>education level of parents/immediate familiars
Sure, but see above. This stuff can (and has) been accounted for, and while when you compare like to like the gap lessens it never fully shuts. There is a gap that is not explained by circumstance.

>I guess it fits nicely into your meta narrative if it really just boiled down to genetics, one more rationalization to be the xenophobic asshole you already.
I never said it was just genetics, and I don't think being dumb makes you subhuman. Human rights are universal, and I believe in them.

It's an ingenious innovation on the part of Paradox to simulate such an abstract, complex, yet integral part of warfare with such a simple, intuitive system.

Me on the other hand, I'm not so sure about universal human rights. Particularly when some people are ignorantly destroying the livelyhood of not only this but also future generations.

Self-diagnosed?

>>146118424
i'd be wary about defining yourself in such a way. fair enough if youve found that the diagnosis rings true but associating yourself with a problem can be very constraining/not conducive to change

Really did turn out kawaii af. In order to get them to actually join the meme faction, you have to make them a Democracy, then start a civil war by encouraging commie rebels, then invite them when it starts.

In spite of their countries still recovering from civil war, they all offered to join the war. Argentines were carving out their own empire in Africa, Colombians were somehow managing to hold the line against the Krauts and Italians despite having no artillery in their divisions while my armored divisions prepared a breakthrough, and shitty Ecuadorian infantry stormed the Home Islands with Burger Marines.

Is the mughal decision around sepoy rebellion broken in HPM or something? I think it is supposed to send an event to the british but all it does is automatically give me some of my cores, and also give me control over british armies outside of india, wat

>>146116717
Why aren't you killing their convoys in the sea. Do you even have air force or subs?

>>146119948
I just had to snake my toilet me lad

>>146120007
It gave you control over armies from the cores you gained from them

>>146119891
pass reforms and unclutch decisions

>>146119891
try playing as Italy

almost 0 coal, and few iron

What are some interesting countries to play as around central europe in HPM?

I was thinking Czechoslovakia so I could shit steel but they can't really expand without blobbing it up

>>146111379
at least they could be proud of their shithole unlike us south americans.

post Greek lebensraum

>>146117167
but anaon i wasnt cheating
by that point im sucked into all these alliances and all these wars are goign on right outside my borders. Probably everyones units fighting at once.
so is the game just badly optimized?

>>146120193
pooland is fun

>>146120283

It starts to seriously lag from 1942 onwards, so yeah, it's poorly optimized.

But then again, I was playing a pirated version.

>>146120193
Czechoslovakia is pretty neat indeed desu
Just play as a pacifist and cut down to size anyone who declares war on you

>>146120283
Your computer is just bad

It's Clausememe so yes

>>146120179
Coal is oversupplied in the market
Iron only now stopped being oversupplied too

Only problem I had was with cotton but that's understanable

>>146120193
You get Austria up in your shit with their imperial restoration meme CB (or at least that's how it was when I played them) so they're hardly comfy
