Not a single encirclement was made.
Didn't got the 50% battleplan bonus either, just manually attacked.
All I did was have my troops train for 1 year. No brigade attachments.
Only outnumbered them by 3-4 divisions. My general's skill was 3.
Nice game Paradox.

Been playing for 11 hours with a 5 hour sleep break and this is the most fun I've had in fucking ages, and I've only declared war once to annex Ireland. There's quite a few things I don't like, like the fact that the map isn't solid, some civil war events are bugged so Poland keeps having civil wars every single year but overall I think this could be Vicky II tier if Paradox tries to actually fix it and doesn't pander to reddit.
Still not as good as Darkest Hour though.

So I will be the first to make an overall tune-up and fix mod for HOI4. What changes do you want to see in v0.1?
Plan so far is to
>remove silly meme names for nations
>give PRC their proper flag rather than the flag they adopted in 1949
>make Stanley Baldwin PM of the UK at start instead of Chamberlain
>>144746865
I agree that the political stuff is possibly an improvement, but you say you have only had one war. When you play a large war you will realize how shit the new system is,.

Well EU3 was already pretty casual. If you're asking if they needlessly removed good mechanics (mana instead of sliders in EU4) then yes. Battle plans are the worst mechanic of all time.

Fix fascism in British dominions. They shouldn't get rid of the union jack from their flags. The main change should be adding the lightning flash to the small Union jacks on the dominion flags. Canadian/Australian/South African fascism was just an extension of British fascism. Even the main Canadian/Australian fascist parties just called themselves Canadian Union of Fascists, Australian Union of Fascists etc.

General flag fixing would be nice.
Replacing portraits with actual photos to eliminate the Illuminati leaders, but this is lower priority and will take a crapload of time.
But frankly, HoI 4 is a game that isn't even worth modding.

Bring it back to Armies and up, the worst part of HoI3 was having to move corps HQs.
Hourly reminder HOI4 has only 483 unique minister portraits, compared to 17,524 in Darkest Hour, and 17,698 in HOI3, and this doesn't even take into account identical men wearing different suits; so the actual title is probably even lower.

What you see is a single Soviet province in my territory where Japanese troops with whom I am at war retreated into. I can't get them out and sometimes they randomly manage to attack from neutral territory for whatever reason. They've honestly covered my entire front with Russia with troops. They have tons of troops in Russia for unknown purposes. It's all kinds of fucked up, just like those Americans and Brits wh aren't invited into my lands, but there they are.

Can anyone tell me what exactly is plan value? What does it do? Also, when I declare war on a country and give my commander the order to execute it, he always gets those negative modifiers. Plan value was +80% before I executed it, and it didn't have shit like "Division still preparing" or "Some divisions not in position"
I clicked post reply too early

Darkest Hour wasn't made by PDS.
>>144748075
For instance right now Japan is using the IJA flag instead of the state flag which would be identical to the present-day flag. Likewise, Romania's coat of arms was only present on the war flag, not the state flag, which was the bare tricolour.

What's wrong with supply system in HoI4 though? I've played the game and it's pretty good, pockets still work and organizing supplying of your troops is less tedious. No more "surround the capital to starve all the troops" meme.

>>144745479
I tried to make a fascist Republican Spain, and this is what happened. It's basically Nationalist Spain vs Nationalist Spain.At least there aren't two Francos
At least most of the German top reviews on Steam are thrashing Johan
so I pretty much spent all day playing as Italy, and here is my two cents
1)ai is too defensive and builds shitty divisions
2) the naval system is an interesting concept, enjoyed playing with submarines and carriers, but disliked how long it took to build ship; to rival Britain you have to basically put your entire industry into naval ports and even then a single shitty battle (or if a port strike takes you unawares) can effectively decimate your entirenavy and take you out of the game
3)handling aircraft is very finicky and take a lot of time to move, deploy, missions state and produce them. Equally it's pretty shitty when you have 500 fighters in your main port region and they cant find and fight the 200 port bombers coming to wreck your fleet. Tried out strategic bombing but felt it was more a multiplayer system
4)the industry is a bit mixed, you sepdn a lot of time building a metric ton of civilian factories if you are naval incline but when the world war hits repairing exisiting factores take so long that you don't build any more industry and simply steal others. Infrastructure and supply might as well not be there as supply does very little to affect you army and you can walk through the sahara desert with a 30 division stack without worrying too much
5) division of territory congresses rarely occur because of the german events that effectively allow them full conquest of territory
6) late game teching up is a massive chore (1941 onwards) as you don't really need to because of the braindead ai, and the supply needed to tech up , replace and upgrade all your units just chokes your industry
8) equally, the fact technology trees are so linear means that you aren't committed to one style of play=same game everytime
summary
it will probably be good with human opponents, but altogether the ai really lets the game down, and some of the controls and management systems are downright tedious to use. I rate it a 6/10 needs more work
>>144749617
Yeah the actual percentage of positive reviews really doesn't matter, you could probably remove all positive reviews for all they're worth
Negative ones are the ones that help inform your decision on whether a game is worth buying

because it is the same game so far as that I could still catch up to the infantry tech of other nations while effectively researching all the naval and air tech as well. The only thing that's topped me basically being full all round OP was my industry,m and that won't stop nations likes the USA, Britain, Russia or Germany who start and end up with massive industry and therefore can have all arms large and well researched.

Is there more to that comic than you posted?
So let me get this straight
At a treaty the AI will use all it's points in the first few turns and then never do anything else, thus allowing you to skip 60 turns and annexing everything.
And you have to do that because you have to take all the possible lands from the loser
Also, if you release a nation they will have the same leader, the same government and no bonus opinion.
>>144750686

Rep. Spain should be democratic with a great inclination towards leftism, again according to paradox that's communism.

>Juan Negrín y López (Spanish pronunciation: [xwan neˈɣɾin]; 3 February 1892 – 12 November 1956) was a Spanish politician and physician. He was a leader of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE)
>>144752093
>Azaña
He was a memeber of the >republican left
This means he was a communist, thus his party should be the communist one, not democratic.
>>144752057
Whatever it is, please don't rename fascist Britain. British Empire as it's name is fucking badass.

Not that I know of, Neigh. It's a an edit of a Manga called Berserk. Good read all in all.
>>144751501
Taking your post in mind how socially left would such an America be if any of these ideologies won out? Would they generally allow and tolerate lgbts and other shit or?
>>144752289
No, that's communism, I'm poortuguese and socialist parties are communist. They have always been, because communist is like a bad word here and in asspain

Suspicious as fuck
>>144752057
Okay. You know what - I'm just going to leave the 'neutral' names alone for now and not change them from their default. I'm going to find out what the fuck they all mean at another time.
>>144752225
Agreed. Kept.
>>144752093
But the popular front during the spanish civil war was split up between a large number of parties who often had opposing views, such as anarchist CNT-FAI, the soviet supported Communist Party and many others, and this split played a role in their loss during the civil war. FUCK YOU JOHAN WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE PARTY PER IDEOLOGY YOU FAT FUCK
>>144746810

>>144752424
>Novapaddy is a fucking shitter
wat
>>144752527
Neutrality is one of the 4 ideologies. It's the one that doesn't align itself with either of Allies, Axis or Comintern.
>>144752478
Literally how Empires work.
So is the game fun or do you just put units on the front, draw some arrows, and let the retarded enemy AI shoot itself?
>>144751693
Fuck, man
I already had two revolts this year and I have like two or three loans I had to extend. I really don't want to rely on the press to pay these off.
Am I the only one here who is actually enjoying HOI IV like an absolute madman?
>>144752761
>playing peepoo2 when 4 exists
>>144752527
>>144752635
But I played a game where the Allies dissolved and many nations were faction-less. France didn't spontaneously decide to revive the Bourbon line and become a monarchy again. It's a complete puzzle as to what 'neutrality' means in the localisation files since they just use whatever name they like with no ideological link or relevance in the 20th century whatsoever.
>>144752608
Yes, this is all Johan's fault tbqh. But still, the only way to keep it historical for now is putting the democratic party in power.
>>144752669
>draw some arrows, and let the retarded enemy AI shoot itself?
I'm playing as Iran and it's pretty much this.
Fuck. It looks like my usual style of coups isn't going work for defeating the Allies now that they've fortified North America. If I join the Axis to destroy the Allies and retake the Empire how easy would it be for me to leave the Axis afterwards, like where's the button for it?
Also I'm the only one with nukes and I have a lot of them so I should be able to make short work of the US once I finish spamming aircraft. But again, where's the 'leave faction' button?
>>144752469
But haven't they all had Socialist governments by now and still have capitalism?
My Spanish friend is always confused as to why I would even see Socialism as something extreme.
>>144752767
Yes, because you're a recent migrant or a casual in denial.
You don't belong here, you have to go back.
>>144752767
m-me too.
>>144752767
it has decent multplayer potential but needs patches to add depth
why doesn't HoI4 automatically restart itself when you get to the main menu? I thought it was a limitation of the engine
>>144752829
Being of a certain ideology doesn't automatically mean you'll join that faction. It just means you're inclined to join it.
Check the game. See the grey ideology in it? That's neutral.
>>144752454
> Would they generally allow and tolerate lgbts and other shit or?
Taking in account that things like the feminist movement are present in-game, can't see why not.
hoi4 is pretty fun
>>144752861
That's because to us, socialism just means capitalism but with a lot of bias towards the employees.
Our president in France is part of the Socialist Party and no one has any problem with that.
To me, most of people i know, and probably most Europeans at least those who weren't in the Warsaw pact during the Cold, socialism is different from communism
>>144752202
Afaik they were a pro-democracy coalition of liberal parties with socialist leanings and socialist/communist parties with liberal leanings
>>144752454
>Would they generally allow and tolerate lgbts and other shit or?
not him, but probably yes.
hoi4 is not very fun
>>144752943
>multiplayer
Can this meme please fuck off? Literally only paradox employees play multiplayer
>>144752767
It's a great game really. Most people are very negative towards it because of all the shitposters here trying to convince to everyone that it's bad, but once you just decide to give it a chance and play the game you'll see how good it really is.
Thank you all employees at Paradox for this great game.
No order of battle?
Full of casual rabble.
>>144752391
I just puked goulash on the screen.
>>144752767
I have seen pictures of it and I find shit like Shadow Hitler inexcusable.
I bought Stellaris but am not going anywhere near Ho4. Say what you will about Stellaris but it has way more potential to be fun then these neutered peoces of shit.
>there are people here right now that think they know everything about history and ww2 because they played hearts of iron and eu4
>>144752861
Because the spanish PSOE was a socialist party like a century ago, one of the conditions for them to be allowed in the new democracy was to reform themselves into a social democrat party, that's why in Spain there are so many "leftist" parties which claim to be socialist or communist but are only regular social democrats.

>>144752829
Should 'Falangist Poland' stay or be renamed, /gsg/?
>>144753017
So how does a nation acquire a 'neutral' ideology and be renamed to such meme names as the Confederate States of America for the USA? What events must take place for it to occur? Because there are no ministers which drift the country towards whatever ideology 'neutrality' is supposed to represent, unlike communism and fascism.

It's actually challenging without resorting to artificial difficulty
Guess you wouldn't know because you're shit though
>>144752767
I would be at least neutral to it if it wasn't for the retarded AI and lack of occupation resulting in the worst border gore and confusing shit I've ever seen in a paradox game.
I was anxious about them possibly making Victoria 3 before. Now I actively want it to not be made. I hate that I like these games. I wish I could not care I really do.
>>144753159
I played at least 100 hours of multiplayer V2 with my roommate in college. Some of the best times I ever had. I never forget the massive battles we had for Alsace.

EUIV can be fun sometimes, but EU2 will always be my favorite, there's something more immersive about it that was lost with 3.
Also, I think my recovery is going to begin soon.

The spanish commies were in the Communist Party of Spain, not in the Socialist Worker's Party. The PCE was a split of the PSOE which defended the III International, while the PSOE remained in the II one. The PSOE ruled for decades after Franco's death, and we're still capitalist, so...
>>144753679
Speed 3 with no pausing is standard
>>144753339
Rename it. if the standard name is 'Poland' then 'Falangist' Poland should also be Poland. Big fancy renames only make sense in the case of United Kingdom or United States because their nation names are literally also their government names. Fascist don't rename all that often. Italy stayed Italy, Poland should stay Poland. Legionnaires Bulgaria, Legionary Romania etc should just be Bulgaria, Romania and so on as well.

speed 4 in peace time, speed 2 when the game starts for OoB reorganization, speed 3 in war.
Does HoI4 have a chain of command system or is it just 'this guy is in charge of all your divisions'?
>>144753431
They never fired.
Have been democratic since the start of the game.
Even when they got influence they just did jack shit.
Why the fuck can I not do a naval invasion here? What am I doing wrong? How do I check progress?

God this game is fucking retarded.
>>144753903
it has a very basic chain of command system, but nothing compared to HoI3.
The division customization is superior though.
this will be my go to inf division for russia, good or crap? should i do more small divisions or less big ones? (the ai tends to do more small ones)
