Reminder that SteIIaris has its own general and discussion of the game doesn't go here. Thank you.

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

The verdict is it will be fine in 2018 once modders get their hands on it and turn it into a proper game.

This has probably been asked numerous times in the past and google doesn't give a good answer on this issue that I've run across in EU4.

Essentially, I'm playing a custom nation that is part of the Japanese culture group with Shinto as the religion, which must always be a Noble Republic (the idea is that the nation is formed from the right and powerful non-samurai who ran overseas with a daughter of the shogun of the time's minor branch families and has been using them as the basis of a puppet government since then).

From writing that you may have an idea on the issue I'm facing now: the Western Trade modifier. Is there any way of removing this modifier as a custom nation? The big penalty to missionary strength makes it impossible for me to convert anyone right now, and what I've googled up seems to point towards it being a Japan as a nation only option.

In my game i had the opposite. By 1944 when i had dealt with commies USA+UK had stationed 8k fighters and an unbeatable navy in the channel. i tried to cheese it by landing 1 million troops in scotland but they had ~3 million troops in britain, including 300k men in the fucking tiny islands above scotland. No idea what happened with your ai, did they randomly send all their divisions overseas or lose them in naval battles/invasions?

There's no rebels or dissent? I've seen meme screenshots of people conquering Europe as Portugal or other small nation before 1943-1944. Where's the mechanic to fuck you in the ass for expanding fast(Completely ignoring how easy such eat even is now)?

It took the allies 3 years to get to Berlin, but you can conquer the whole world as Australia in 6?

I don't want to play a megacampaign. I'm not THAT autistic. It takes fucking forever. And even if I did the world would probably become a meme. And even if it didn't I'm not going to document it all on the off chance that it won't.

Because a bunch of bulky equipment slows down horses (especially loading, unloading, and in terms of logistics) more than a human.

They had some but the amount they could carry and the amount of ammunition they could bring was significantly less.

To put it another way, virtually all the German army was accompanied by horses. You could march with the horse while its pulling as much shit as possible, or you could strip off 90% of what it was pulling and ride it to get somewhere much faster.

Axis are always braindead. Also Grand Battleplan is literally the best doctrine in the game.

Any reason you have a (what I assume, my symbolism is shit) medium SP-ART brigade in an infantry division? Why not just 7 inf + 2 art?
>>
>>147426479
yeah its a heavy sp-art
i did it for the armor bonus so that the soviets wouldnt be able to do shit to me, and also because ive been doing 7 inf + 2 art every game i play and wanted to try something different

what.

Then what is that bar for on the division creator? The one showing softness? And wasn't that how it worked in HoI3? That divisions had a softness that determined how weak they were to soft attack?
>>
>>147426986
He means brigade, not division
>>
>>147426986
they're still weak to soft attack but they have the armor bonus meaning they take 50% less org and hp loss and they deal 50% more org damage
>>147427009
yeah i mean division
>>
>>147427009
Yeah, but my question still stands. Don't divisions have a softness like in HoI3? They have a bar measuring it. Can I really make a division of 24 infantry battalions and 1 heavy tank and they ALL get the tank's armor value? Meaning that soft attack will be almost completely useless against them?

>>147427052
>>147427009

>>147116215
>>
>>147426986
There's both softness/hardness and armor/piercing.

66% softness = you suffer 66% damage from soft attack and 33% damage from hard attacks.

50 armor = if the enemy has less than 50 piercing you deal 50% more damage and take 50% less. If the enemy has more than 50 piercing then no change.

This is basically the same between HoI3 and Hoy4. The difference is that divisions could have 5 brigades in HoI3 so you needed at least 20% of your division as armor to get a bonus, In HoI4 the same division can get a bonus with only 5% of their division being armor. And the AI is too dumb to build AT.
