is there a stacking penalty for navy?
is it best to build full inf divisions in early game so you can spam many divisions?
>>144871026
I tried to make a thread but I got the notice "error, duplicate file exists here" Do I have to edit the image for it to work?

Should I just doomstack my navies in HOI4 or is there some deeper strategy to naval warfare?

doomstack + search and destroy
This is for the anon who requested help on a colourised Stanley Baldwin portrait. Feel free to use it in the /gsg/ mod for the 1936 start (which is what I assume you were using it for).
I don't actually own HOI4 so if someone finds any problems with it let me know and I'll try to fix them.
mfw there's no support attack in hoi 4
>>144871264
Yeah, but you could have just placed a pixel of a different colour in a corner.
sayonara fuckers
>>144871310
The biggest problem with that is the fact that patrolling ships and lack of naval superiority doesn't seem to stop them at all. I send my navy to patrol the sea zone they are invading from, they just keep invading. Days after days, weeks after weeks and my navy doesn't care - Whoops looks like you're getting invaded my friend.
Need to specifically set my ships to convoy raiding to stop it. I mean come on, my fleet has like 120 ships patrolling in 3 fleets. I think a naval invasion in area with radar coverage near my coast isn't that hard to find and stop the fuckers.
>>144871279
You don't need to doomstack unless you're against an enemy with a huge doomstack and you have no planes.
>>144871443
Original colourizer here. It's sexy af anon, may memes and money be forever on your path.
Could I also get a .png pls?

Is there a mod that changes every portrait to Willy for HoI4?

ALPHA here, I have just added massive changes from v002, v003 should be up within minutes. I have added new music to the game, which feels much better.

I want an AI that defends its coasts and I want bigger attrition penalty for low infra desert areas. I'm getting real tired of having to fight Brits in the Sahara desert. There is nothing there, just leave it the fuck alone.
>>144872025
Basically I changed nearly all of the Axis music, the opening music and I tinkered a bit with Italy's national unity and party popularity to make it more realistic.
>>144871538
If you want support attack that will be 19.99.

Lads, I'm playing Kaiserreich and Mitteleuropa has fallen to the Commune.
As Natty France, is there any hope to reclaim the homeland? All of Europe is commie outside of Russia and Carlist Spain, but they both dislike me.
The war just ended, but even if I attacked, I've got only 30 divisions to my name.

GSG MOD V003
http://www.mediafire.com/download/cr6upg7blz89zf8/gsgmodv003.7z
Changelog: I replaced all of the Axis music to real life music and I changed the opening music. I also tinkered with Italy a bit.
DESCRIPTION:
This mod aims to provide a more historical and less 'flippant' experience to the game. Flags and country names are proper, so a change to communism or fascism will not yield a silly name for your country.
In addition, I have added plenty of new music to the game.
>>144872025

Pretty neat, thanks Paracocks.
Is anyone here able to make an extended Nazi march music mod that plays random march music like it already does? I just want more songs than the two.
I can provide a bunch of mp3s if necessary.
>>144872389
Wait, so you guys don't want to lead the "Empire of the Platypus" :^)
>>144872469
then I changed it to infopicture so that can't be it
but whatever, it doesn't really bother me anymore
>>144872476
Yes mate check out this mod
>>144872389
In addition to many other changes, it comes with a completely new axis playlist.

>Lad you released 002 just a few hours ago, are you going to pop out updates every hour?
No this is the last for a few days, I just realised how bad the vanilla axis music is so i replaced it all and decided to include it in my existing mod. V002 did not have the new music, V003 does. In my opinion, it makes the game far better.
Expect v004 perhaps on Saturday.
>>144872674
I only really changed the party popularity and national unity to make it more realistic, and the name is changed to 'Kingdom of Italy'

Neat. How do I go about adding more music to that? Does it select an .ogg at random when I throw them in there?
Well, it's probably not that easy, but share your secrets.
>>144872939
Can I get away with it? They just allied Britain. Fuck.
>>144872658
Yes, apparently that's how it works reliably. Makes no sense considering I've seen ships on patrol stop convoys too.
Patrol will probably stop them, but the chance of them finding the enemy convoy seems to be minuscule even tho they are literally invading my shit. I mean come on, radio was invented by that time. Think the fucking garrisons could radio in that "hey we are being invaded by some enemy forces can you take care of this?" I think that it's also fucked up how areas with ground radar coverage seem, to be completely dark to your naval forces.
The game needs serious fixing.
>>144872812
I'm not in the steamgroup. Don't use my mod if you don't want to, that's fine. But I haven't been in the steamgroup for months, and i was only ever in for one week.
>>144872683
I'm expecting Steam to crack down on the Swastika mods, so probably not for a while until it's safe for sure.
>>144872953
go to /Hearts of Iron 4/music and open the music.assets file. You cannot add new music in addition, unfortunately i believe you have to replace the files. To change what song plays, change the file part of the text to the filename of the song. Drop the music you want to put in in the /music folder as a .ogg. You cannot have any spaces in the filename or it will crash.

They should have this flag IIRC
Also like the other anon said, you should have Stanley Baldwin as the UK's leader in January 1936 and switch to Nev in May. You could even include some memery in the event about how he'll lead Europe to peace. Use this portrait >>144872113

If you're going with all flags being the civil ensigns then overwrite democratic Gyppoland over fascist and neutral. (though you might as well include a folder with alternate flags so that people could choose between civil ensigns only and mixing it up with army flags)
>>144872595
isnt it more efficient with 20 combat width?
Pretty sure yo uget a penalty for goving over it,
and it lets you cover more area and you could just use 2 divisions per province if you really want the oomph.

Nice going with the mod so far dude. It needs a redesigned French fascist flag for v004. Anybody here can provide a good flag for fascist France?
Also I would advise you not delete changelog entries for previous versions in the readme, as the purpose of the changelog is to keep track of updates per version.
>>144874483
it can be done with any nation capable of getting 6 paratroopers to calai early enough though.
Its fucking stupid
The fuck... I just capitulated in HOI4. I was winning left right and center as unaligned communist France, and I'd just developed nukes. Suddenly I got a message saying that I couldn't withstand any longer and capitulated... This was an ironman game and now it's over. Is there a bug related to this, or what just happened? Other than the US occupying parts of my African territories and getting a couple of provinces re-taken by the Netherlands, I was prette much chilling until I could nuke someone...

I bet you kiss girls, faggot.
I thought playing as Ethiopia was going to be harder but as it turns out if you withdraw all your armies to the capitol Italy's army just kind of leaves.
They were attacking me with 15ish divisions and then as soon as they took everything other than the capitol they all left except for 2, against which my 10ish divisions could defend indefinitely. And since all of Ethiopia counts as 1 state I've lost nothing to their occupation except 1 airbase which doesn't matter because I have no planes.
So I'm sitting here masturbating in 1940 after 4 years of Italians taking potshots at me while my only remaining city slowly grows into an industrial metropolis.

civilian factories
spam them from day 1, it's exponential, here are stats from a test run I did where I built only civilian factories:
day 1: 42 factories
jan 1 1940: 153 factories
jan 1 1942: 210 factories
(more than USA's estimated max 207)
that's 57 factories a year by the time the war comes
it's dirt cheap to make military factories out of them, but you should make it balanced anyway - say 60 civs to 40 military

Okay lads I've been playing around with the doctrines and trying to balance them and this is what I have done so far;
Mobile warfare doctrine gives high organization and speed, mobile infantry gives speed and organization bonuses to inf/mec/mot and blitzkried gives speed and organization bonuses to tanks. Later desperate defense gives you more organization for infantry and more recruitable population, modern blirzkried gives organization bonuses to arm/mot and mec.
Humanwave doctrine gives high morale for infantry and less supply consumption. Deep battle gives more morale and organization for inf/mot/mec/arm meanwhile mass mobilazation gives you more recruitable population and more infantry morale.
But here's the problem I don't have the slightest clue about superior fire power (frankly I can just leave it as it is it's pretty powerful) and grand battleplan.

More troops is good but there is a hard limit on how many you can field in a battle because of the combat width

Err, when you're creating the front line on an orderless division. You can either click a front or you can right click drag.
Right click drag enables you to make the line across multiple countries.

How about throwing in some more popular period music like that in the dlc? Atmospheric classical music is good and all, but music that was popular during the war is more immersive.

You can see how many of them are at the top and they are bombing within the air zone. Not any specific part of the air zone, just within it. The only time you can pinpoint where they are bombing is if they are doing port strikes.
>>144880413
Yea you can't see that. Although you'd never actually know exactly the numbers or models anyway, maybe they could add a low and high estimate of what they are using and in what numbers based on your decryption like in the details screen.

That's exactly what's happening. I just set up a garrison along the coast and wait for Americans to show up so I can kill them quickly.
I'm working on building hundreds of naval bombers and hopefully that'll get them the fuck out of my Adriatic.
Also how do subs work? I made a few finally and want them to hunt down these invasions but they don't seem to be doing anything. I don't have the time or resources to build a proper navy but shouldn't subs be enough to torpedo the fuck out of any invasion forces?
>>144881402
>play as Germany

The ai may be retarded, but I admire it's courage. We will never get a good ai, but I'm satisfied with how it's performing on a release version. It's very difficult to make the ai perform aggressive naval invasions like this in other gsg games, even when heavily patched and modded.
>>144881613
There is like 1000+ provinces and you'd have to name every single one by hand but if you want just 2 3 provinces to have names than that wouldn't take that long I suppose.

German AI is just really bad.
It has failed to conquer Denmark 3 times in a row and never even got to touch Norway. 2 Times it also failed to get France.
Also Naval invasion AI actually seems to work in this game and UK is really eager to fuck shit up in this game, several times they have landed and destroyed Italy or Germany before shit even got started.
I think Germany just has too little stuff at the beginning or something like that and never gets the ball rolling because of that.
>>144881815
>There is like 1000+ provinces
That's probably the reason why they didn't include them. It would be a bit of an eyesore.
Maybe if there was an extra map mode just for displaying them, but they really have more important things to focus on.

Pacific Co-Prosperity Shere
Here is to all my HoI 3 friends who claim their game is superior to HoI 4: I have won HoI 3 on Hard difficulty deleting my entire starting army building only 1xmilitia+3xamored car (sick soft damage plus lotsa damage evasion on attack, milita techs reduces combat width to 0.5 so you can have 20 of these guys effectively fight in a province, later on add anti tank or tank hunter to them). It's best to use this without OOB since you'd really need lots of HQs and shuffling them around the frontline would be harder or at least it would tick me off see them out of range so I don't use HQs.
This is a strategy I came up with and it basically makes the entire game trivial. Your turn HoI 3 defence force.

>>144884380
I micro tank and motorized divisions, which get their own armies, the rest I leave to plans, which actually work if you do them right.
Doing it this way makes every war feel like intervening in the SCW, which is actually pretty cool.

>>144884684
Yeah, and it took along time to fix it. Point is, this game isn't "ok" or needs a few weeks of "polish". That's the mentality of a paradox drone, saying it has potential and that soon it will be better. This game is going to be bad for along time, it's amazing that so many people are forgiving it for it's blatant faults.
>>144884964
You can't tell me the game works when Germany has failed to beat Denmark in one of the games played.

read the fucking thread dumbass and stop shitposting
>>144884964
But how many of the 'this can be fixed' problem can be fixed without breaking other things even further? The problem is there is overlap with the existing flaws.
AI is dogshit currently, which is tied into the planning system (i.e. how the AI handles it). You can't fix that without changing the player experience.
To expand on what I said in >>144885032 plans actually work when used as intended. It's just that the AI isn't capable of using them (entirely) as intended.

The new air battle mechanics is quite shit and vague, the new supply system is shit, the AI is shit, the naval invasion mechanic is shit, the trade mechanic is shit, navies are useless, the new peace conference system is shit.
>>144885374
>Yeah, and it took along time to fix it. Point is, this game isn't "ok" or needs a few weeks of "polish".
I'll concede that point, people who praise this game to high heavens are fucking retarded. But no mechanic in the game is inherently broken, I'm pretty sure this will be faster to fix than Vic2.
>>144885240
are you 16yo?
Well, the soviet union quickly got really boring to play. Too easy. Give me another nation to play in HOI4.
>>144885374
You were talking about mechanics, now you're talking about AI, you fucktard. I asked which game mechanic is fundamentally broken, not what you think about the AI.
I can see myself that the AI is inadequate. This isn't a closely guarded secret.

You have to forgo rebuilding your industry and expanding your existing military in favor of pushing for a fascist takeover, which in my experience takes about a year if you start on it from the get-go. From there you can start rebuilding, sidle up next to Germany, or start your own faction (not a great idea if you plan on expanding much in Europe, as it will bring you into conflict with both Germany -and- the UK)

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>144885251
Here is the current situation on my latest game.
Played 2 games as Finland, one as Sweden and since all of those games Japan lost to China decided to go for Japan this time. Meanwhile that's Germanys 3rd loss to Denmark, this time they didn't even get all of the mainland Denmark before Danes pushed them back and now that allies landed on there I expect Denmark to capture Berlin any moment now.
As for France this is the first game Germany got France though even that was a hilarious fail of an invasion where they sat next to Paris with 2 division guarding it for more than a year.
On the Japanese front I am making good gains in Siberia, my original plan was to launch the invasion when Germany wraps up Europe and invades Soviets but had to launch early to create pressure since Germany would never make it that far.
2 of the games have been on historic mode, all of them on the standard difficulty.
I befriended China but can't invite them to the axis to crush some commie heads because they are in some "United front" faction. Should I drop them and go with Japan?
>>144886335
>they are in some "United front" faction
Jesus christ did you newshits not learn any fucking history at all before getting here?
The torrent i got must've been the german version, because Hitler is blacked out. Could anyone tell me how to fix it?
why would I invade China as Japan
they have basically jack shit for resources
better to go to the colonies and eventually through indochina and india
I kinda want to continue playing this game but I'm afraid that AI will be too bad and my faction will fail at their invasions, making me have to help them
>>144886654

There is a way to have localization in a mod without having to copy the entire vanilla file.
Make a folder called 'replace' in your mod localization folder.
"\MODFOLDER\localisation\replace"
And shove any localization docs in there and it will load after the vanilla files.

I give up on those meme arrows. They're only useful when you're facing an extremely inferior force, like here I microed India and left Vietnam mostly to the AI. Vietnam had like three French divisions and what happens? AI is slower than me crossing the fucking Himalayas, because they wait for god knows what before they even attack EMPTY provinces. AI is truly piss poor, literally worse than HoI 3-tier.
So does anyone else feel like HoI4 is incredibly boring? Battles feel like they have no substance to them, air battles in particular. Taking away the smaller air zones really took a lot out of the game.

How did you convert the games for your mega campaigns? Converters or selfmade mods?

No, infrastructure in china is shit pre-build up, so you need GOOD divisions not many, trust me on this. Although I do lack some border divisions which I will queue now, got enough guns stockpiled, but still lacking arty for my combat divisions.

Guys, I tried to mod a new leader, so I simply changed the name of the current leader and his portrait in history/country. I used one of the generic portraits, but somehow it just shows this in the game. Any of you know why?
>>144887760
I used the converter numbers in most cases, otherwise I would go historical for really odd areas

1930s and the 2010s are very different times you thick cunt. Did Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia, a sovereign nation state cause a massive growth in the tension? No, it didn't.

Paraguayan War, War of the Pacific, Guyana Crisis. A lot of stuff is still missing.
So I want to befriend poland, Specifically I want to swap Danzig for Slovakia.
But the only way to take the sudetenland is to fucking invade the czechs and that just causes occupation, not actually owning it.
When I declared war they also dragged france into it, if I invade france will that get rid of the czech government in exile and allow me to actually own it to continue down that arm of the focus tree?
>>144889359
It didn't because Ethiopia is irrelevant piece of african shit.
Is Axis AI in HoI4 good? If I join axis I don't want to spend whole game trying to fix their mistakes
>>144889480
so then you just admitted that your point is wrong, because no one is gonna care if someone annexes an african country?
why do people still play HoI4

Italy is completely incompetent at everything it does, Japan tends to lose to China, and Germany will often try to charge through the Maginot line
>>144889359
Ethiopia is an African country faggot.
The league of nations was pretty buttmad about it, but it was the LAST remaining sovereign African state anyways, everything else was already owned by western states, so they couldn't have made a big deal out of it, or their own colonial subjects and the socialist anti-colonial leagues would have went "nigga u dun goofed now". Plus, after the Berlin Conference in 1880, African countries were basically declared to be free game for any European power anyways so they didnt break any international law.
Hungary annexing Austria is extremely fucking different you ignorant retard.
>>144889579
No. There is nothing wrong with annexing Ethiopia giving ~2% world tension and with annexing Austria giving 13%. Austria is Europe, Ethiopia is just another colony.

How is this division? Should I add more medium tanks? Note this isn't my heavy armor division, my regular armor is 3x5 heavy armor with 2x5 motorized inf. Everything will get upgraded eventually i.e. heavy > superheavy, motorized > mechanized, medium > modern.
How do you structure armies?
Mix and match, infantry with some tank support, few marines if they're going coastal, some mobilized/mechanized infantry, or pure infantry, pure vehicles, etc?

>>144890080
>Japan loses to them even if you don't help them.
Never happened in my games.
It always ends up with japan annexing china and a huge spike in world tension.
>>144886685
you get rid of a threat, get population, resources, factories, more land (which is always an advantage). Conquering China is fucking hard I did it today and it took me like 6 hours because the fuckers just wouldn´t give up. But It kinda was worth it

This is a hypothetical frontline in a single state where you can see what I am mean. Your division design will go over low infrastructure provinces and you'll start having TONS of your equipment going to waste even without any fighting. Negative modifiers like bad weather will obliterate your stuff if you go over the supply limit.
You also limit yourself by having only a few extremely strong divisions, because you're inflexible when it comes to having free troops to move around or exploit weaknesses.

>SPD
The SPD was a mainstream reformist social democratic party that spent quasi all of Weimar in a coalition with the DDP and Zentrum. They were pro-democracy, pro-parliamentary republic and pro-welfare.
The NSDAP were fascists that shared an economic program with the socialists (which they later changed to pro-junker policies after Strasser and Röhm were killed), but they are once gaian different. Just note how in Germany Hitler wasn't only the head of state, Hitler basically WAS the State. Soldiers swore allegiance to Hitler not the Reich. Its different from the Soviet Union, where Stalin posed not as the state, but "only" as it's first servant. In Stalinism (which was the KPD's official ideology at the time) we can see the end game of Hegelian Idealism - the State reigns supreme.
Furthermore Nazism is (theoretically of course - IRL it was just pandering to the Germans) in a different sense idealist. It rejects both Capitalism and Communism as materislist ideologies which don't take the man's soul into account - they are materialist.- Nazism posed as a counter weigh to this, the state is also spiritual

Not only this but the AI doesn't even seem to be concerned about maintaining a contiguous front. It is stupidly easy to exploit obvious openings in an AI's line.
Having intervened in about six or seven SCWs as various fascist powers, it is incredible how bad at consolidating a single front the Republican AI is. The AI will press advantages against Nationalist openings (especially around Madrid and in the south), but never cover its own weaknesses (particularly in the north/east).
A relevant metaphor: the AI fights sword-and-board, but without the board; attacking but forgetting to defend. I assume this is due to the 'front line' mechanic (and how poorly the AI distributes forces across an ever-changing front).
>>144897491
>>144897248
The Siam AI in these pictures, for example, must have just completely bluescreened with trying to calculate all those changing fronts, and just froze. It seems like the AI's doing nothing, but really I bet it's trying to do too many things at once.
Pic related, it's not as bad as AI managing OOB, but it's close.
>>144898525

>>144898847
Nope, you can. The leader might cancel it if you have an active battle plan, but other than that there is nothing stopping you. The AI will also automatically support attack a lot of the time anyway.

>>144899260
I usually just put my troops under a leader, put all the infantry to a front and then operate with the tanks/mechanized myself. I've noticed the AI does fuck all for creating/exploiting breakthroughs on its own and will keep attacking cities frontally over rivers when encircling them. At first I thought it was funny and only used AI control but it got so annoying I had to seize control myself.

Okay... I'm clearly missing something in hoi4. I feel like they dumbed it down so much it paradoxicallyhuèbecame harder in some way, like windows 8 on windows 7.
I was finland, Managed to turn communist quite fast, which was awesome. Managed to get all my units to swedish border and to create a CB. The war prolonged so much that more than 1,5 milion men were lost on both sides, and I couldn't advance more than 2 or 3 provinces.
It seems that Swedish mobilized 68 divisions, what the fuck. I put the "all men" under the recruitment policy and all I could get was 24 divisions.
How the fuck do I actually mobilize and create some shittons of troops?

Entrenchment is secret meta. Don't tell anyone.

I actually like the air game too.
Game just really needs finer controls both for the air missions and land invasions. It's desperately missing the "Target province" button. I mean you sorta can do it with the offensive lines but there should be a simpler take this shit or defend that province.
Also a major problem with the way air is handled is the way it calculates distances. You get massive penalties for example when you are bombing a province right next to your airport when your planes can't reach the 2km distant other edge of that particular air region. Not a big problem in Europe but huge in Siberia and other such areas.
