>prussia conquers bohemia

Would it be possible to mod battles in EUIV so that armies are far less likely to have a broken retreat and instead perish under most circumstances?
Battles as they are currently in the game feel almost irrelevant to the outcome of any war as any defeated army just comes back two months later at full strength and it makes defeating powerful nations as small ones almost impossible.

It's easy as fuck to conquer half the world with Poland.
>AI apparently has no priorities at all, Italy will send a hundred divisions to Ethiopia and Lybia, conquering half of Africa, while their core provinces are invaded by the UK. Thus the UK has the same problem, will invade shit but wont defend what it already has
>The AI will send troops by sea no matter if it has a navy or not, losing dozens of divisions, cue Italy sending shit trough the English channel for no fucking reason
>At the same time the German AI will ignore the obvious threats from, lets say, Italy being invaded by the allies, it will instead just let Italy be over run while it garrisons the Yugoslav border with 30 divisions a few provinces aside
>"Historical focus" box apparently does nothing, US, Japan, Italy, etc regularly enter the war in 1939, everyone declares on everyone, everything just turns into a clusterfuck of wars involving the entire world, hardly if ever they're even close to being historical, instead you get shit like 100 soviet divisions moving trough Axis nations to attack the allies (the fuck?)
>the AI is using its "planning bonus" before invading province that literally have no troops. Thus divisions are chilling on an empty province waiting to invade with the all important bonus.
>the AI is busy strategically redeploying half of the army along the front at all times anyway so they're at low org constantly

Austria-Hungary is now basically gone. They were really strong up until they lost the Great War. Now Romania, Russia, Italy, and myself have been taking pieces of them in subsequent wars.

Is there any hope for me about reclaiming the southern Serbian lands from the Ottomans? Should I break off relations with Russia and try to align with the new German state instead?

Hey senpai. You may remember me from a few threads ago. It's 1954 and the Netherlands has been sucked into Allies vs. (Axis and Comintern). I plan to finish this game tonight.

So far:

Military Casualties:
Axis Casualties: 42.68 million.
Allied Casualties: 30.996 million.
Comintern Casualties: 10.847 million.

Civilian Casualties are probably around double the military casualties according to actual WW2 figures, so let's say 170 million.

That's 11.07% of the world's population, compared to WW2's actual 3%.

For the Netherlands in particular, I'm at 0 manpower and I'm using scraping the barrel, so that means a quarter of the population is dead _not including civilian deaths_ (although there will be proportionately less of those, because by Scraping the Barrel I turn civilian deaths into military deaths).

L I T E R A L L Y the end of the fucking world.

And we're not done yet.

How can he shit like this on the fanbase after the beta release and still get agrees

What are the best countries to play as in HOI4 as a new player?

>>146762907
Fascist USA

>>146762101
No it doesn't.

>>146762907
best is uninstall.exe
the game is a mess right now, wit till they fix the shit with their dlc, pirate then
In the meantime either learn hoi3 or darkest hour, which is way easier to get into then hoi3

>>146762907
Australia is basically tutorial island. You won't get to do anything except maybe fight a few tiny battles in Europe, but you can learn how everything works without anyone breathing down your neck.

If you want to dive straight in, Germany. It's the best major to play as because you control the pace of the war.

>>146763056
if i do play DH, should I just go straight for Kaiserreich or play the base game first?

>>146763264
KR is a meme mod, play the base game

I need some help with CK2 succession laws. I'm on agnatic elective monarchy as Ireland. Most of my direct sons or brothers are absolutely terrible so I nominated a cousin for the throne.

After founding the Kingdom of England aswell, he won't show up in that list, just a huge bunch of sons or other family members including actual children.

I was thinking that it might work if I give him land in the kingdom and grabbed a county for him. The guy still won't show up in the list; how can I ensure the person I want is available?

>>146763264
I would start with tha base game
>>146763331
Kaiserreich is somewhat a meme mod, but a pretty good one. Can spice the gameplay a little up with another scenario

Out! OUT!!!

Alright, can we put the memes aside for a moment and all agree that, for what it set out to do, HoI4 is a success? It gave us a WWII grandstrat free from all the archaic bullshit of Darkest Hour, and also much easier to get into than HoI3. Can anyone here honestly say they enjoy wasting an hour to fix their OoB every time they start a game of HoI3? Not to mention that, rather than needing to tediously micromanage industry like in other HoI games, HoI4's industry is both streamlined as well as more intuitive than the previous games. Yeah, it's true that HoI4 leads to more "ahistorical" scenarios, but isn't that the point? Why even bother playing the game if the outcome is predetermined form the start? Moreover, from a pure gameplay perspective, giving the player more options, whether they be historical or ahistorical, is a total success. Sure, Mosley ruling Britain never could have happened in reality, but it's fun to have the ability to easily do so in video game form.

Overall, I feel that HoI4 is getting a lot of undeserved hate simply because it isn't a total copy of HoI3 with slightly better graphics. Of COURSE the game is different - HoI3 already exists, there would be no point to making the same game again! HoI4 may be different, but that's by design, not by some unforeseen flaw, and it should be celebrated for the changes it made, not hated on.

Is the entire Paradox so fucking socially uncalibrated? Are they seriously THAT autistic to not realize that constantly shitting on their customers chatting on the forums with passive-aggressive posts is definitely something they should not do? Didn't they see what happened to Bioware and their army of autistic employees who shat on basically every single negative feedback for TOR?

>>146763761
Fucking hell, all they had to do was take a trip down to the Overkill offices to see how well this shit works.

I get it that micromanaging and babysitting every single division can be tiring, and that's why you assign them to different commanders doing it for you, but placing 200 divisions under a single fucking commander, drawing a line and pressing a button is no fun at all. Where's the "strategy" part of this game?

You don't need an armored division as Sweden since it's mostly hills and winter. Go for a couple of mountain divisions and infantry spam for the rest. If you're going to conquer Scandinavia/Baltics/Northern Europe in general, focus on air superiority as most of those nations suck at it and having it is a huge plus

As for the division template, when you research the light tank, you get one for free if I'm not wrong

I'm on Windows 7 64 bit. I've tried everything short of installing on another machine. This is my desktop however and I don't want to be forced to play the game on my shitty laptop. I've never had this much trouble getting a Paradox game to run before and it's pissing me off.

It would be kind of interesting to continue this in HoI, but there is no way I'm doing a manual conversion. As far as alt-hist goes, I think a Germany growing large and then getting fucked would be interesting as a setting.

There could even be an "integrate Prussia" decision

what did he mean by this??

>>146775034
No clue, I went to war with Mexico and the peace treaty was to give me all my Manifest Destiny cores, but they didn't give me California, so I turned to political map mode and saw it was independent.

Have no idea what's going on there.

All you had to do was occupy Mexico City and do the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo decision.

fuck off back to your discord shitposting group

but i am not part of the /gsg/ discord
i go to the stalker one

>>146775301
Discord is irrelevant as fuck. Radical yugoshitters hate them for some reason (probably because they banned unhpm?), they are the real shitposters here.

Shot in the dark but how do I fix the god damn flickering of battle plans/arrows/whatever in hoi 4? Pic related.

I tried by fucking with everything I could in the ingame options, including resolution changes. Nothing worked.

unhpm is unbanned

>>146775535
what?

I honestly lost track of how many groups there are.

We have the inital steamgruppe founded by turk, the radyugo group headed by cobra and the discord which doesn't seem to have any kind of leader

Is there anything else?

Lads how do I download HoI 4 mods?

Pirated (don't judge me) and steam workshop downloader doesn't work

>>146775541
cobra is based the discord is for faggots

>>146775743
stalker discord, as in the game s.t.a.l.k.e.r

>>146775379
Was I expected to know that?

>>146775602

i think that there is an unhpm discord too, might be wrong
and its not a /gsg/ discord, but a /stg/ one

the discord does have a leader, he's just not an egotistical shitposter

>Just started HoI4 for the first time

Am I doing it right? The ruling party has Fail in its name, this doesn't bode too well.

>>146775743
the guy that made normandymod, 7years and companymod made the discord and called all moders to join
later licqourlords and shitposters joined and just ruined it for everyone
was a nice chat desu, there was even a big althis mod they all worked on

>>146776083
Cobra is colombian though

>>146776147
cobra is from Michigan USA

>>146776239
isnt Rob from michigan?

So the discord is for weebs, radical yugo is for 16 years old memers, /gsg/mp is for jocks and Turkslayer's steamgroup is for mentally ill shitskins, correct?

>>146776147
Who's the slovene guy then? I'm fairly certain there's a slovene involved in this whole shitposting matrix.
