Prepared for a year, my puppets were gearing up, had just a war with Bulgaria for some Turk land. Even started preparing for a possible end of the war by starting nuclear research.

Declared war in early 1950. Plan red and blue went perfectly, took over most of MittelAfrika in just a few months thanks to my armored cavalry and mechanised infantry. German and Spanish colonies fell as quickly as I hoped, only Malaysia resisted a bit. By mid-1950, I had accomplished most of my goals, was starting to take troops away from Africa to Central Asia. The Asian front was holding: I took heavy casualties, but they took twice if not thrice as much. But then I started seeing German, French troops in Asia, and the Russians amassing more and more divisions. Then everything went to shit. The Russians attacked in Afghanistan with IIRC more than a hundred divisions in one province mostly held by Indian troops. The front broke. French/German invasions in North Africa, Chinese advances in the Himalayas and Burma, Ukrainians took over Bulgaria, tried to attack Turkey but the Turks are pushing back.

So here's the situation in early 1951. I'm retreating from India. They reached the Gangeatic plains, and it's too hard to hold. My troops, especially mountaineers, are doing their absolute best to keep Baluchistan and hold a corridor to funnel my troops through. The troops that were just too far retreated to the Naga hills and the jungles of northern Burma, but I'm starting to evacuate some by boat, thankfully the Chinese have almost no navy and the German squadrons were destroyed. I'm thinking of evacuating Indochina, but it's still a quiet front I can hold. I'm starting to make plans to just evacuate all my troops from the region, maybe retreat first to Malaysia, then probably take them back home.

I'm getting rekt. Seems like Allah isn't with me. I knew I should have restored the Caliphate.

During the war of the pacific against Chile the US Ambassador to Peru wanted the USA to annex and then admit them to the union.

I want to do an early start Crusader Kings game, play until the end, and then import it to EUIV.

The problem is, every early start CK game I play, important places like the HRE never form, leaving Christianity permanently weakened. (Plus, I have no idea what would happen to EU with no HRE).

Hell, in my last game, I started with the Charlemagne start, and he refused to do anything he was supposed to do, died, and France split into a bunch of warring kingdoms until they got eaten by the Muslims. (And of course, the whole time they were an ugly quilt of "West Francia, East Francia, and France in random county-level blobs)

So, is there any way to have an early start and still have the primary important events trigger?

Does anybody have any good ideas in terms of long term goals for playing Venice in ck2?
I've already cucked Croatia out of it's coastal provinces and I am now making more monthly cash than the HRE despite consisting of four provinces. I can always assure my election as Grande Doge due to the money I'm pulling and I'm at the maximum cap for trade outposts.
This has all been done in the first 30 years of a 1066 start and now all the republic mechanics feel too easy.
So is there any hard but possible goals I should try to achieve?

>>165104597
Known bug with the AI, sometimes it just groups up and stays without moving. Happens to allies, enemies, everyone. Basically, the AI has a list of options for it to take at any point in time, and in certain situations it gets no options, so it does nothing. Because it does nothing, it doesn't give itself new options, and stays stuck.

I've even heard rumors of the bug leaking to recent versions of CK2 because of reused code.

Ok so I decided to go with the flag of the Society of United Irishmen, who led the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

I decided to use this flag since France intervened in this rebellion in favour of the revolutionaries, and said revolutionaries saw themselves as an Irish continuation of France's own revolution.

This flag is admitedly similar to the flag I use for monarchy Ireland, but the design of the harp is distinct enough to be noticeably different.

>>165105952
Yeah thats why I asked you, the rest of them looked fine but this was in this shitty quality for some reason.

>>165106614
Just a randpm question, do you really enjoy making flags? I've only done it a handful of times and it's ok but time consuming. You always have to strike a balance between things that are regenerative and rewarding vs how much you invest.

>>165107819
For me it feels like labour-therapy (not sure if this term exists in english actually). It can be time consuming but it feels as enjoyable as playing a videogame sometimes even.

>>165107624
I like that. Do you think there's any way that you could include Napoleonic (bees/the N) or French Revolutionary components (Phrygian cap, etc)?

>>165108060

The most used symbol/design I've seen in French puppet republics was the tricolour. So I'm trying a tricolour. Blue stands for France, leading the revolution, with green standing for Ireland. The white is there to mimick the French Flag.

The only issue here is that the harp doesn't go well with the white band. What do you think? I could try something else as well.

Are there any EU4 mods that fix the war AI? Because I don't understand why the enemy just ignores my armies and I just have to spend the whole war running around chasing tiny ass stacks running around my country. And there's also the part where my allies just send there entire army into my country and let say, Denmark occupy all their provinces.

How's this for EU4?

The "lion" is the main symbol of Ismailism, the branch of Shia Islam the Sulayhid belonged to. The colour green represents their relation to the Fatimid Caliphate. The two words at the top and at the bottom are Ambigram depicting Muhammad and Ali written in a single word. When you turn either around, they turn into Muhammad or Ali.

What do you think?

>>165112953
I'd probably just place a single bee at the top of the harp. Want me to try that?

I know this design isn't really appropiate for a flag but it looked really cool so I decided to use it.

It's mirror writing in Islamic calligraphy, depicts the Shi'i phrase 'Ali is the vicegerent of God' in obverse and reverse.

I decided to do away with the green and replaced it with white because I figure that by the time Vicky rolled around, the Sulayhid wouldn't put as much emphasis in their Fatimid connection as before.

What the shit

>>165120186
Depends on the super state. I've had severely poor relations with the US as Britain because I'm trying to include Canada in the Imperial Federation (I think that's what it's called in the game files but in game it's called the Commonwealth of Nations). Fighting over European or New World territory will almost guarantee the US or Soviet Union (it fell) getting involved but there's a lot of room for fighting over Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia.

Also if you are going for a super state besides the EU I'd recommend the 1946 start date but if you are going for the EU the 1992 one is probably better because it's less waiting.

Although I do find myself way ahead where I would be in 92 technology wise by starting in 46 as Britain

Big ships are a waste of naval IC because they take so long to build and since you're massing screens, they won't be able to kill them all whereas you can destroy their screens in the first engagement, then wipe their capital ships in the next engagement. The convoy destruction helps to slow their industry and any attempts at naval invasion.

You should be able to figure this out. Also just go play the fucking tutorial. It actually works and holds your hand through an entire Italy campaign.

>>165122579
I'm alright at everything except navy.

What do you want to know?

My general tips:
1. All divisions should have 20 combat width

2. Design a strong defensive infantry division with artillery support and engineers for holding the line and mass-produce it. You can throw in some artillery batteries for some offensive punch if you've got the luxury, but this detracts from defensiveness.

3. Design a strong offensive mechanised division with self-propelled artillery.

4. Design a strong medium tank division with a few mechanised infantry thrown in to give it some HP.

Then, use the infantry division to hold a static frontline. Use the tank divisions to break through the enemy line and draw a circle behind them. Then use the mechanised infantry to buff out that line so that the enemy can't just pinch it shut and isolate your tanks. This encircles the enemy. Then, close the circle after a few days with your infantry.

Rinse and repeat.

>>165122889
What about small countries that have fuck all in tanks

>can't get an absolute monarchy in power in hoi4


boring

>>165122986
You can either try and encircle with infantry + artillery (motorised infantry with self-propelled tank artillery if you can afford it, otherwise all leg), or just add artillery to all your infantry divisions and go WW1 on their anus.

The AI can't design good divisions to save their lives so even a shitty leg infantry division marching over Europe like it's the fucking Napoleonic wars will buttdevestate the AI.

I should explain these stats to tell you how to make good divisions.

Speed is self explanatory, but if you're trying to make an encirclement division keep an eye on it. No sense adding FAST TANKS and then hobbling it with towed artillery, so if you feel like you need more soft attack with your tank divisions you need to research _and produce_ SP artillery as well as the tank. Making the "perfect" division is a luxury for Germany, Britain, France, etc. etc. and not for shitty countries like Australia or China.

HP is how much damage it can take before it pulls back or gets destroyed. If you have nothing but tanks this will be super low, which is why you need to add (mech or moto) infantry to fill out the HP without lowering the speed.

Soft attack and Hard attack are the big ones. Higher numbers = better.
Defence = how many SA and HA can be dodged while being attacked. The higher this is the longer your troops can fight on the defence.
Breakthrough = defence while attacking.

COMBAT WIDTH = THE AMOUNT OF SPACE IT TAKES UP ON THE FRONT LINE. MOST BATTLES HAVE A CW OF 40-80. It is always a multiple of 20, so your divisions should be 20 wide. 40 if you want to make monster divisions for some dumb reason. The smaller your divisions the more support regiments you can have in the fight (so if you spam 2 width divisions with support artillery you can bring an ungodly amount of soft attack). Support regiments don't take up combat width. Support artillery is literally free soft attack. Always take it on combat divisions.

So to make a good infantry defensive division just stack soft attack, defence, and HP.
To make a good tank breakthrough division you want as many tanks as possible (because they have more SA per combat width) with just enough HP from moto/mech infantry to keep them from breaking. Don't worry about defence because your breakthrough divisions won't be defending (that's what the mech infantry divisions that follow them are for).

otherwise everyone keep giving suggestions

>>165123802
You can also go deeper and make medium tank divisions for the initial breakthrough and then light tanks for speeding through the hole in the line and fucking around in the rear area.

This is extremely indulgent though.

>>165123802
Not him but isnt one of the biggest problems with the game the player can make near perfect divisions while the AI makes god awful one. The lack of an AI doesnt help either but still.

>>165124104

>>165123802
Guy who helped with navy earlier here: For the record, while what you're stating isn't wrong, reddit already figured out the best division composition.
>Infantry
8 inf, 2 art, with supp: arty, engi, field hospital, maintenance, logistics. If you can afford it (cough, America, cough), HARM or SHARM are fucking excellent additions at the cost of one inf.

>Armor
3 arm (any type), 2 SPART (I prefer moto rockets, but that's personal pref), 5 mot/mech. Support: Arty, Maintenance, Recon, Logistics, Whatever (I like signal here).

>Mot/Mech
8 Mot/Mech, 2 SPART, Support: Arty, Maintenance, Recon, Field Hospital, Logistics.

>>165124085
No real reason to make ARM over LARM at the moment. LARM doesn't provide that much less SATT and it's capable of piercing ARM, assuming it's up to date.

>>165124104
>>165124192
They fixed that actually. It takes longer than the human player for them to make good divisions, but they still try to make good comps.

>>165124413
no problem.

>>165124494
That's an issue too. But mainly things like fixing positions of text or icons or adding localisation would be good. I noticed most of the terrain isn't even localised. Gameplay wise I don't know too much about

>>165124730
Nukes and how they work have been a very common complaint, and the pop growth system should be tweaked somehow. It's just odd how one of the best strategies revolves around staying as uneducated as possible simply because the 0.1% of education that bumps you into the next category can kill your pop growth.

>>165124621
>giving people cheatcodes

>>165125029
Also, the vast majority of non-majors can't afford those divisions anyways, so you need to learn how to break it down for smaller industrial scale. The "cheat codes" are more of a building block. A "this is what you aspire to, but what you probably can't afford."

>>165124879

Got a CK2 problem.

Playing as a female ruler, I married a claimant to the kingdom next door. I just finished off a war to put my husband on the throne, and since we have a matrilineal marriage, my son is the heir of both of our kingdoms.

The problem is that he is now "The Usurper" and all of his vassals hate his guts. Actually, that's not really the problem, since I can kill their asses.

The problem, is that each one is forming a faction, and then saying "Let me become king or I'm going to rebel." and my husband is saying "Yeah, sure, that's fine, you're the king now."

Now, that's probably because he has 0 army, since the war to put him on the throne just ended a month ago, but is there any way to stop my AI husband from giving away his crown to the first duke who asks for it?

What did you mean by this?

Also lads what reforms do I take to keep America a conservative nation? Socially, I mean, I MIGHT make the living standards not third world tier.

>>165138242
I've already started playing it, just not posting it. I'm testing out how playing an entire AAR in advance and then writing about it later works out, since I've got so much work to do these next few months that I can't really reliably play it concurrent with posting it, like I'd like to. The actual release will probably still be in May/June, like I intimated before, but I might be able to finish it before then.

For right now I mostly just need help with army names. Maybe some names for operations and battle plans, but most of those I can probably ask for when I sit down to write the AAR. Can't do that for armies, though.

Honestly would that even make sense? Wouldn't, politically speaking, it be difficult to champion freedom and progressiveness and personal / human rights against the specter of communism, if you were actively holding back on those things?

Sure, actual USA promoted conservative values up until the late Bush II Administration. Also communism is about progressivism, at least on paper. Soviet communism was pretty conservative in practice post-Lenin.

Also it looks like we're going Fallout-tier as the PRC and Soviets went to war over Port Arthur.

>Army names
I haven't played much of HoI3 and I missed what your AAR was going to be about in terms of goals.
You're Guomindang / Kuomintang I suppose, but are you looking to put an Emperor up or are you following Chiang's dream to create a nationalistic semi-democracy and all that?
What kind of army names do you want? Just translated versions of an English thing you give me and all that or what? I'm not sure we had any cool sounding names back then anymore if we're just going for the normal Chiang's China Dream route. If you're reinstating an Emperor and retconning his personality, then we have more names possible because Imperial China had a lot more 'epic' names for their armies instead of "112nd Infantry" or "2nd Artillery". As far as operations and battle plans, sure I can do that; those are easy.

I don't know what events the mod has so I honestly don't know, but barring any very weird circumstances the plan is to stick with Chiang and a pseudo-dictatorship.

>>165138884
So here are my questions (and forgive me if I butcher the language, but I'm not going to put the accents in):

1. I want to name my Theater HQ something which conveys that it's based in Nanjing and primarily exists to convey orders and information from the capital to the army proper, like a sort of pseudo-political unit. I really don't have an idea for this one so suggestions welcome.

2. The army proper is at the Army Group level, and I'm calling it the Guomin Geming Jun, which I got from wiki. I think this one is accurate for what it was referred to as in the period.

3. For army goups I'm using "Jituanjun," which I think just means something like "group army." Is that roughly right?

4. Using "Jun" for armies, and I also think that's right.

5. Infantry divisions I'm calling "Bubing Shi," which should be a literal translation, with cavalry referred to as "Qibing Shi." I'm less solid on that last one and would like confirmation there. I'm also referring to garrisons as "Anquan Shi," which somebody said meant something like "protection unit" or some such, but I'm not sure if there's a better name or not.

6. No clue what to name the navy. Also no clue what to name my meme interceptor and bomber wings, so help for all three would be welcome.

7. Finally, I need some good names for two operations. The first is a rush across the Yangding to seize Beijing and Tianjin before digging in to withhold the Japanese onslaught and the second is a attempt to push deep into outer Mongolia to cut the Japanese troops operating in Mao's territory off from supply. That latter one probably shouldn't have a very happy operational name, since Chiang is only going to be doing it out of necessity to win the war.

>>165139175
>it's accurate
Lad I don't know the actual, accurate names for each and every army; I can give you probable names for them if you like, in either Imperial fashion (ex. Army of the Winter Duchess, Fleet of the Ten Thousand Thunders, Western Shura's Artillery, Crimson Flag Mechanized Army, etc.) or modern fashion (1. Xinjiangjun, 2. Beipingjun, 112. Paodui, 203. Zenchadui, ZGS Huang Gai), but that's it. I can't help you with the historical names of historical armies in that era (if they even existed) because I've honestly never cared enough to know.

>>165139501

Why? You'll end up with a shitton of recurring names for divisions and regiments anyway. Unless you autistically rename every one of them.

So I'm not allowed in NATO I guess?

>>165141268
WE

>>165139770
Okay;

1. "Nanjing Zongbu" would mean "Nanjing General Ministry" aka "Nanjing Headquarters". If you're talking about a command headquarters, "Nanjing Zhijunsuo" sounds roughly about right. It translates to Nanjing Office of Instructing Troops", or basically a Nanjing Command Post.

2. Guomin Geming Jun works, it literally means "Revolutionary National People's Army". Kind of communist or fascist sounding if you ask me, honestly.

3. "Army Group", as a level, would just be Juntuan, "Group-of-Armies". Jietuan Jundui which means Group Army. That being said, a Group Army is not an Army Group.

4. Yes, you can use Jun for armies, since it literally translates to such.

5.1 Yes, a Qibing Shi would refer to a Division of Cavalry (or rather, specifically to a group of cavalry led by a cavalry division commander).

5.2 Garrisoned armies are "Zhujun", lit. Stationed or Residential Army. You can also just call them, say, "Beiping Jundui" or "Shanghai Jundui". I'm guessing you mean a literal division of garrison troops, in which case I can only suggest "[city] Zhubingshi", lit. Garrisoned Soldier Division of [city].

6.1 A "Navy" is a Haijun. "Jiandui" can also work and always refers to a specific group of military-only ships.

6.2 I'm not sure about interceptors (lanzai feiji?), but a squadron of fighters is "Zhandouji Zhongdui". A wing is "Zhandoujiyi" (not sure about this one).

6.3 Bombers are "Hongzhaji", while a wing of bombers is referred to as "Hongzhaji Yi" to the best of my knowledge. A squadron of them is "Hongzhaji Zhongdui". I'm not sure if you want special names or something though.

7.1 Operation Yanqiu, "Autumn of Yan". The nation of Yan was around where you're digging in.

7.2 Do you want it to be named after a person? I'm not sure where you're goin from, but Bai Qi pretty famously slammed in a line through the Xiongnu during the Warring States era. If not, Operation Hexu Wanli, "Ten Thousand Li in Search of Peace".

Thanks senpai, two things though:

So far as the navy went, since I only have one and it's complete trash, I wanted to name it something more fancy-sounding, sort of like the Guomin Geming Jun, although I don't want to just recycle that and stick "navy" in instead of "army." It doesn't have to be historic, I just want something somewhat nice here.

And for interceptors, would "Zhandoujiyi Zhongdui" properly be something like "fighter wing," then?

I like the idea of using names for operation titles, so "Case Bai Qi" is a go.

>>165142673

>>165141823
No, Zhandoujiyi translates literally to Fighting (air)machine wings. I'm not sure what a aerial combat wing actually is beyond being a squadron; is it not one? A squadron is Zhandouji Zhongdui.

>so far as the navy went...
Oh, uh well, I'm not sure about fancy names unless you just want a name in the Imperial sense. China had a strong navy but never cared enough historically about it so I don't think there's that many good historical things to draw on. Haiwang Jiandui might work for something random, it means "Sea King's Fleet" (Sea King being a mythological figure) and is also synonymous with "Neptune's Armada".

Considering the absolute trash state of my navy, that's way too dank to pass up. I'll need to get a real navy name if/when I get a proper navy, but until then this irony is top-tier.
