HoI4 is kinda shit, dudes.
The OoB of HoI3 was the closest thing we had of HoI series evolving into a wargame.

Ffs the division designer would actually be superior to hoi3 if they didn't have to add army mana for changing it
What is the reasoning behind it? Fucks sake

And i don't see what was so tedious about clicking on a corps/army and moving it kinda close to your front line divisions every once in a while.
You didn't have to move them at the same fucking time all the time.

The army mana's the worst part about it. You can't really try out badical experimental compositions or strategies or anything because you're locked behind the fucking army mana before your first war.

Are there any penalties to controlling your units manually? The battle plan execution feels awful. I have been playing it like Darkest Hour.

Well in hoi3 if you were automating troops it was just click on the capital and unpause
Why not move the troops yourself ladm8
>>144692359
Pretty much, anon.
>>144692551
Who the fuck automated theaters in HoI3 ?
Can someone explain why navies have their own factories (dockyards) but planes and ground troops use the same?
Feels like they should have kept it as all 3 sharing one type or given each its own type

Beautiful
The lack of pops is still a major problem , most armies late game are only around 15,000. I'm not sure if there is a way to fix this though. even with pop growth decisions the entire world is deserted.
>>144692741
Podcat is based
>>144692656
Well seeing as you're the one automating your troops the first change you get in hoi4 then it was probably you who automated theatres
>>144692548
For real, the province density isn't THAT HIGH that you can't just control all your units manually
Also I wish there was a menu where you could see all the combats going on currently or something, it's super easy to lose track of front progress since there are no popups or anything about attacks
>>144692765
What exactly are you making?
>>144692656

then youd be playing at a low speed or youd be playing suboptimally because you couldnt take advantage of weak spots
some of us dont want to spend 10 days to finish a game so I normally had my main battle line automated (unless the front is managable) then the elite and armor I used myself

Or rather I paused

AI was pretty competent on moving a front forward, I got tired of having to shuffle and click after the initial offensive when the enemy is basically jelly
using manual control when you already have the enemy overrun is just retarded. However using AI control before that point is kinda dumb too. Id manage my front as France until I broke through and had the germans on the run for instance

You could see that when you played a weaker enemy against a stronger enemy, like Italy holding an eastern front where the USSR grinded to a halt the Werhmarcht advance.

Thanks
>>144694296
>playing as a weaker enemy against a stronger one
thats just dumb to use AI control but when you basically have won the war against the enemy why would you capture VP's yourself? Thats where the AI control shined. basically wiped out the USSR army and dont feel like moving your armies to capture VP's? no probs! OOB is a fucking mess after your offensive? AI dont give a fuck
Wait so you don't actually build units anymore you build equipment?
>>144692364
>I wanted to try mechanized/blitzkrieg France
This. France was a my favorite cunt in HoI3 aside from Yugoslavia because of the insane shit you could and sometimes had to pull to win on the harder difficulties, yet still maintain some degree of believability.
>>144694118
You do know that as Germany it is in your best interests to drag this war out for as long as possible as long as Franco wins, right? True for both real life and in game.

Is the game easily crackable like the other paradox games?
>>144694603
So you are saying you used the AI control just because you played against weaker enemies
wow
>why would you capture VP's yourself?
Because changing to AI control completely wrecks the OOB

You choose what units you want to train and it'll tell you what you need to produce and how much.
It's very clunky compared to HoI3 since you need to manage two separate pages just to shit out units.

well I don't know what I expected desu
The game says I have 20 free factories but these factories are all red and are not actually usable
Could someone explain this shit please
>>144694795
It would be sort of hard if the AI wasn't pants-on-head retarded to the point where it feels like cheating.
I'm guessing the first thing serious mods will do, aside from removing retardation like Platypus Empire and Ottoman Empire, will increase the difficulty.
never ever again
JUST
help pls
>>144694636
You get it from training, focuses and advisors. Unless blitzkrieg France is something you do in 1936 I find it hard to believe this poses a problem
>>144695036
>Because changing to AI control completely wrecks the OOB
Tbf it doesn't if you don't let it reorganize your shit (which it never has to to be effective if you built your army at all acceptably.)
Say what you want about how retarded/completely useless the battleplan system is, and there is a lot to be said about it, but at least the plans look pretty nice. They're like the History Channel documentaries with armies represented by flags that I used to watch for hours.
>>144695063
where the fuck do you see equipment stats?
I have no clue what I'm doing desu
>>144695118
Japan starts with some of the largest divisions in the game (like 14k men per division), better infantry weapons than China and better tech than China. Literally your only problem in taking China should be supply in the Northern regions. So just build mountaineers for north and launch like three simultaneous naval invasions in the south.
>>144695036
>just because you played against weaker enemies
>implying I played weaker countries
My favorite countries in Hoi3 were China, Sweden, Turkey, and France because of the difficuilty but even with these countries youll enevtually whittle the enemy down. I use it for when its an even match or when I need to hold an offensive line while still moving forward (i.e. China going through manchuria after a failed japanese offensive)
>wrecks the OOB
my OOB is already fucked by the time ive overrun the enemy by that point I cant be arsed to micro an easy win
youd be a fool to ever use it if there's a notable chance youll lose the front
>>144695156
That's just Johan telling you to buy the game instead of pirating it.

Last I checked, Stellaris was kicked out of this general because people didn't want these generals dominated by that game. How come HOI4 is allowed then?

>>144695773
>How come HOI4 is allowed then?
It's grand strategy and it's biggest newest piece of content we've had in years. Reason Stellaris was kicked out is because it's 4x not because it would "dominate the discussion".
If Paradox announced/released Vicky 3 you'd also expect all the threads all day long to be about it. People wanna play something new, even if it's sort of shit.

How easy is it to transition? Not saying a mech France needs to be viable in 1936, but the thing is, in HoI3 you could make divisions however you wanted, then upgrade/attach the right brigades when the time was right.
For example, I did a dank meme composition for early war French armored divisions of HARM, HARM, MOT, and regular ART to counter muh blitzkrieg decision soft attack bonus.
Then when it came time to start the offensive, I just upgraded the art and attached ENG brigades.
It really let you plan ahead and organically evolve your army, can you do the same with the system in HoI4?

What you thought your army learnt anything from the great war?
I'd honestly want a limited, super in detail and historically accurate game covering the 16th or 17th century, but just a rather limited period therein, like the French Religious Wars or the Thirty Years War.

Ironically, ~1550 to 1750 is the only part of the timeline EU4 simulates sort of well, considering it's focus on supremely important rulers and Westphalian concept of nation-states.

Hey, anybody else getting a black map for HoI 4? As far as I gathered it's a problem with Intel cards, and there is a fix on the paradox forums but I can't see it sinceI pirated.
>>144696471
the problem was you'd have endless popups and half your industry dedicated to creating convoys because your DD/CL's wouldnt be able to sink their shit until like 1944, plus youd have phantom fleets sinking your stuff even if you took suez and Gibraltar

Last I checked, Stellaris is more complicated than games that are considered more traditionally 4x.
I would also consider Europa Universalis IV to fulfill the conditions of being a 4x game, but we consider it a Grand Strategy Game.
I think this thread is just full of people who can't enjoy Stellaris for what it is.
Is it disappointing, a little bit.
Is it fun, sometimes.
Does it give me the space Grand Strategy Game I've been looking for for years, yes.
Am I one of those who have been playing it nonstop since release, no because I have plenty of other Paradox games to play.
Also I haven't played HOI4 yet, but I didn't enjoy HOI3 much compared to everything else.
>>144696845

Meh, you do all the work, get bombed, lose at least few hundred thousand men and then USA comes in and takes all the credit and all the rewards for the war leaving you fucked and with your empire collapsing.
Really WW2 is tragedy of the British Empire more than anything else. Especially since in classic Greek tragedies the hero tends to do good shit and try to act well and gets fucked over by it over and over again.

My german game so far is much comfier than Shitalians
Have a rare hitler lads
>>144697323
Exploring past fog of war, don't really know whats over there till you get there. That's exploration whether you like it or not. Especially if centuries have passed by
>>144697147
If you can't do better than the British did historically you're just bad at the game desu
Japan barely defends the home isles and Italy is incompetent and invading them gives a good jumping off point into Germany
>>144697448
That Hitler looks like he's the main character in a shonen anime.
Have some German qts in return.
is there infrastructure deadzones in Hoi4 like there were in Hoi3?
or am I going to fight in the sahara desert?
>select an army
>divisions not sortable by fields
what the fuck man
>>144697120
Isn't that normally low religion power (forgot its real name)?
If you want to assassinate them try paying off concubines, they normally have so many that a conspiracy of women can easily destroy a kingdom.
>>144696327
I was more just curious because I could have sworn I'd seen Germany and Japan get the similar custom peace deals when I'd seen the game in the past.
>>144697567
Yes you do it's a fucking map of the world, if you don't know your way around a map of the world why are you here
It's exactly the same thing behind the fog of war every time, it's not randomised
>>144697567
No, 4x exploration literally means exploring a map (usually randomly generated) not just knowing where an enemy unit is retard
By your retarded definition even AoE wold be a 4x
>>144697567
>don't really know whats over there till you get there
have you looked at a map before?
>>144697567
You don't know what's in the TI if you're an absolute retard that's never looked at a map before.
Set Map
Set Start
Set everything.
Historical Simulations are not 4x. IF you think so that Total War general and 4x should be combined because, hey, there's a Fog of War in every Total war game and you have to explore to reveal what's underneath, even though you know exactly what the map is going to look like, and what cities are going to be there.
>>144697120
You need higher moral authority or whatever it's called.
>>144693051
a couple suggestions if you're still working on it
>pop losses from new infected provinces should by at most 5%, not 20
>they should get to Madagascar via portugal's colonies, not france, and it should only go one way
>no pop penalty for getting reinfected if you've cleaned your country
>spread between countries should be at least a year, not a month, to make more cohesive hordes
>zombie land should last less time if possible
>zombies should have large immigrant push
>zombie modifier should run out after about 20 years to keep provinces that were covered, then suddenly weren't, from just staying there at 0 pops
>countries shouldn't treat zombies like other major revolts in HPM and make countries secede for no reason
>>144692548
Why did Hitler want to call Berlin "Germaina"?
That would be like the US renaming Washington "Freedomland"
>>144697780
>>144697738
>>144697726
So the countries that rule over India remain the same until I discover it. Good to know.
Yes I know the geography, but I don't know what kingdoms exist until I get there
>>144697634
>each and every one of those girls was raped then killedthen raped againby some slav(e) subhuman trying to defend the street they grew up on from an invading army of bolshevic swine
>they died, along with the hope of a free Germania, in order to pave the way for degenerates and traitors to take control of Europa
Why live, senpai?
>>144697952Vicky 3
Rather than arguing what makes a 4x game a 4x game, what makes a Grand Strategy Game a Grand Strategy Game and why can't a game be both?
>>144697952
inb4 someone makes a shitty rape joke.
>>144697952
what he said >>144698034And also to keep the hope of unified pure Europe alive
>>144696770
kill yourself fag
>>144698034
bahaha good joke
thats a reason to off myself before i have to see that abomination
>>144697864
I wouldn't be surprised if that does exist.
Why anon, what does Germania mean in your obscure language?
>>144698062
>why can't a game be both?
They can
Stellaris isn't though
>>144691673
What the fuck is this supposed to mean?
Is encryption even worth it?
I doubt the AI even cares and probably cheats.
It's not like the AI is good either, it just gets rolled over.
>literally parking all of your shit in Egypt
Fucking tactical geniuses
>>144698132
Oh don't be like that. if it's shit we can shitpost all day how shit it is. And if it is actually somehow not bad then that's literally a game to replace Vicky 2.
>>144698220
My native language in english
When I build infantry equipment is it automatically assigned to the infantry?
Apparently I downloaded the German version because Hitler is shaded out. I said Field Marshal Edition, but it also says no DLC's loaded up. Is this normal? There are DLC's in the DLC folder.
>>144698365
Yeah. You can change priority in Recruit & Deploy screen.
>>144698132
There's rumors that are saying that Vicky 3 is a realityIt's going to be handled like the Charlemagne CK2 expansion, change some concepts and add on a load of years.
>First attempt at Internalist Brazil
>Fight Paraguay without knowing what the fuck I'm doing
>Win
>Second attempt, more focused on stuff that's effective on crossings and more ground support
>Struggle for so long it turns into global war
The fuck

What do you not understand
>>144698308
beating retarded Paradox AI is nothing to brag about
>>144696284
>Kaiserreich
Source? All I see on their forums is a 'maybe, focus trees could be good'.
>>144698365
It's automatically assigned to a unit type that needs it. If there are no unit types that can use that equipment that don't have it then it's placed in stockpile which speeds up your future recruitment of units since you don't need to wait for equipment for them to be built.
>>144698425
>Brazil caused world war
meme game
>>144698324
all they would have to do to make a good vic 3 would be add regional markets, make the economy work properly, fix piddly shit like industrial score, and expand the military a bit. Instead they will fuck it all up.
>>144698434
Hi pal : ^ )
>>144698454
>need 950k manpower in the field
I have 978.5k
What's a good starting nation to play?
Ive played CK2 and EU4, but HoI4 is my first time with the title
I guess im looking for a more forgiving nation to play. One where i can fuck up a bit to get my bearings
>>144698612
Recruitment counts as used manpower, but it doesn't count till those troops are "in the field"
>>144698425
I jsut had this problem as Facist USA. Was able to use Pax Americana to topple plenty of governments over to my faction, invaded a few central American governments,fought and won against UK and Canada. But Mexico took almost 3 years to kill and in the last year they brought in the Allies despite being unaligned. Literally ruined my run.
>>144698652
Neutral USA
Romania
Canada
Brazil
>>144698406
Someone please answer :(
>>144698652
You literally can't go wrong the game is so simple.
Pick any nation.
Make an army.
Put army on the border.
Draw an arrow to the other nation's capital.
Declare war.
Click invade button.
>>144698652
In order of easytude
USA
USSR
UK
Germany
Japan
>>144698763
Post your successful game as Luxembourg doing this ladm8
Wait, so I can only edit pre-existing divisions in exchange for army XP?
>>144698742
You have to use the crack.
Can someone please explain exactly how HOI4 has been "casualized" in relation to the other games in the series? The user interface is barf, I know, but it's not like they turned it into the grand-strategy equivalent of Sim City or Spore, right?
Hey Guys, I've been checking the forums, (ck2) and I just can't seem to find a good mod for The Conan setting.
Where are these mods? Any that I can rollback the patch on? I'm really in a mood to conquer the world as a stygian.
>>144695127
That red represents those factories not being fully tooled up yet. They gain efficiency the more they work on whatever it is, in this case those kinds of tanks.
ah.... relief....
>>144697825
My Religious Authority authority is 54% Holy war'd the entire region
>>144698724
Ah, okay.
That makes some sense, I guess. Thanks lad
>>144698906
You can make a new divisions. The button is literally right there.
>>144698968
Technology/research, ideologies, parties, military, economy have all been simplefied.
New production is actually more complex than HoI3.
Naval and air combat is about the same as HoI3.
>tfw theres no longer ifrastructure dead zones so your troops fight across the sahara
FUCK
>>144696568
>coming to steam June 9th
I think I'll get it and post about it here. I hope it's not too politically simplified as to who was in the conflict, but overall it seems like it'll be good enough for such an under represented war in games.

Why is Japan so utter shit in this game? I don't think I've ever seen them beat China ever, in my own game and in the streams I've watched.
This game they got stalled in the north and then push back and their southern naval landing got completely rekt. Only their central naval landing is doing somewhat well.
>>144699170
They take like 80% attrition
There's no reason why troops shouldn't be able to March across the Sahara whilst taking massive losses and casualties
>>144697689
Already did and only one with 7% said yea, sending my spymaster to spread rumors and chancler to his capital to sow dissent.
>>144699398
Probably because they got rid of militias for this game so they have actual infantry now
>>144698465

Huh? Have you seen koreanusher's stream, he took out both chinas and then tibet too.

>>144699463
but when troops fight they still march through the sahara due to the ebic arrow game
>>144691874
what manga?
>>144699691
I was talking about inordinate amount of times AI China wins over AI Japan. Frankly Japan needs a buff and/or China needs a nerf.
Maybe don't let them annex all of their substates as soon as Japan declares on them?
>>144699763
You're not forced to make shitty battle plans. Nor are you required to activate your shitty plans.
