A GUIDE TO HOI 4 MULTIPLAYER NATIONS
also my top 5 minor states to play as
>spain: solid 40 division infantry force if you can survive the civil war, lots of opportunities in Africa and in Europe
>indian raj: fuck ton of units, pretty much a small major, only downside is facing japan once in a blue moon
>Canada: decent units again, safe spot on the map, can specialise as a paratrooper/ marine/ armored force
>Greece: low industry but very included in diplomacy during multiplayer games due to it's place on the map, can effectively hold down the Baltics against stacks twice it's size and had lots of potential to expand
>Poland: great for a short game, usually one of the major powers will want to have you in their faction and rarely double team due to how early world wars kick off, great start in equipment and can really fuck over major powers if they get their doctrine right, fun for short games where you have to leave fairly soon
now the 3 worst
>finland: get raped by soviets, do fuck all for rest of game
>turkey: join soviets, spend eons trying to improve industry, fail to attack Balkans, ask stronger majors to help you the fuck out
>brazil: for some reason all the new tards play brazil, probably because it's big, get shut down by americans or alternatively beaten by your own third world kin, cry to majors for help and don't receive it because lolfuckoilandrubber and it's too far away to bother

I've been playing as a few different countries and I have no clue how many factories of each type I should have running by the time I get into the war historically. Any guides for what factories to build and focuses to go for first?
Mostly interested in:
UK, France, Italy, Japan, US, Argentina, Romania, Canada, Australia
But I'd still like guides for any other country you feel like helping with.

Hey folks I have very little experience in grand strategy games and wanted to ask for a recommendation. I have a sweet spot for super realistic mil sims like arma or wargame, is there a grand strategy game that is done in the same spirit? Theme doesn't matter, can be fiction even. Difficulty doesn't matter. I just want a super real war sim, maybe even one that focuses on logistics and country wide maneuvers rather then commanding individual platoons on the front line.
Nice, paradox is adding Israel into the next patch and I can finally form my zionist worldwide empire and kill all the aryans

Finland should be a decent minor even in a multi if opposing player isnt USSR or any other nordic nation. Honestly why would someone even play a steamroll and OP nation in a multi? AI being shit is the only reason you can take on soviets.
In my current finland game I conquered nordic nations so I rock about 50 mil factories,20 dock yards and another 30-50 civ facs.(1940)
Only problem is manpower but you can take on the soviets if AI is playing it. If your friend goes germany then finland can be a good addition.
Also I have destroyed around 1milj of ussr troops while only losing 60k. Is this normal or is the game favoring the player on normal,
Anyone know how to set up multiplayer with pirated HoI 4?

With the British already fighting over Picardie in France, the USA asked Navarra for assistance in taking New Mexico whilst their enemies' allies were occupied.
With no fighting having occurred on the North American continent yet, the first battle of the war came just north of Paris, as a large Navarran army met an unprepared British regiment.
>>145108658
soviets multiplayer can easily be defeated before 1940-41 unless the soviet player has literally god mode strategic thinking; soviets have a 40k inf equipment deficit, have little avenues to gain troop experience, have to deal with the japs and Germany AND suffer from potential civil wars and staff purges. Playing against soviet ai is practically playing against a toddler
>>145108057
for minors? I would say 30 max early game 1937-38 and 40 late game. You should be basically spamming infantry style regiments as a minor. also, whenever you arnt making a civilian factory, keep spamming military factories. I mix them in my construction queues so one mil factory preced a civilian factory and so on, have a cut off point for civ factories as well, like dec 1937-8 (depending how mp is going) and then build nothing but mil factories
got majors, Germany should easily be able to spack off 60 civ factories early game and 70ish mil factories. Use them to go full motorised and stick to a minimum of 50 divisions and a maximum of 70 late game; your doctrine is blitzkrieg and you should shred larger inf centric forces, as well as have the support of Italy and spain.
Britain is a mixed bag in my opinion, again try and get the same industry targets as Germany but avoid fully motorised forces as your needed to reinforce and assist other allies in the field
Italy should either go elite infantry or elite motorised with mild armor support (talking about 1-2 light tank and 1 light tank destroyer per motorised division at best); your the support army and while Germany is blitzing your pinning and mobbing up behind him. Do get some motorised though for Africa. I would say 40 civ factories for Italy (stolen from slavs and Romanians) and again a lot of mil factories
frace has shitty industry and equipment stores full stop, spam mixed industry far into1938-39 and only by 1938 do you want to go fully militarised factories. Go defensive doctrine and spam the fuck out of arty+AT
what difference does it make having my artillery as support or in combat? in HOI4
Also should I build more divisions or build bigger divisions?

Maybe Egypt could make a fun start but the way holy wars work with seas makes me kind of dread starting there because it leaves me open to attack immediately. Still, it's worth a shot.
Might try the border near India since I never do India stuff, too.

CONT your job as france is to survive until 1940 and begin mass mobilising, try to get a few fighters as well but really your main focus is full defensive warfare
Russia is a case of spamming both civilian and military factories at the same time and again using defensive doctrine to wait until your fully mobilised
>>145109932
arty support is like a passive buff to soft attack, main arty divisions are actual units that apply soft attack but require more in terms of supply and reinforcement: a division of support arty will break quicker then a div with a few arty brigades because the support arty is not part of the battlefield
bigger divisions, aim to change and adapt existing divisions to suit your needs, however only develop your divisions more if you can afford to reinforce them with manpower and equipment
50 divisions of fully equipped infantrymen with AT will trump any day 100 divisions of partially filled infantry and a few partially filled motorised/armored divisions as well. Most players don't realise this and watch as their ELITE PANZERMANIUMS =D or half equipped infantry and a quarter equipped armor get wrecked by 1 division of infanty entrenched with 2 anti tank guns
if you arnt making a surplus on infantry equipment, don't make more divisions

remember to be constantly building factories, once you get to the 50-60 mark in civ factories for Britain literally spam mil factories and don't look at construction ever again. also, entwine your factory production so every 1 civ factory you make leads to a military factory after
fuck making dockyards, your fleet is unbeatable in Europe unless someone like Germany or Italy spams naval production the entire game. I honestly only produce convoys with 1 dockyard when playing as a continental power as it wastes iron and fuel to employ more docks
also depends a lot on the multiplayer situation, if wars about to kick off inn 1937 then dump civ factories and go full military

>>145113775
they will use the old equipment until they have enough of the new equipment to upgrade
E.G if I change to inf equipment 2.0 all my divisions with existing inf equipment 1.0 will keep that equipment until it is eventually "phased" out by the newly produced inf equipment 2.0 via upgrades
if you mean simply not producing inf equipment at all, then eventually your divisions will simply fail to reinforce and die

>>145114121
>everymultiplayergameever
>>145114163
in a word yes, but the odds of another nation being able to fully equip their own divisions with 3.0 equipment is slim to nil, and they will likely be in the same boat as you in terms of partially upgraded divisions.
the worst thing that can happen is if you fall behind in armor upgrades or technology, and 1940-41 is where the big transition takes places from early game armor to late game armor. As smaller nations like Germany can't hope to upgrade and transition all the new 1940 med tanks into their armed forces they begin to fall behind nations like Britain, Russia or America, whose industry building up to 1940 allows them to upgrade their divisions at a much faster rate
therefore, for axis players your main winning time is between 1937-1940, while for Russia, America and to an extent Britain it's 1940-45
a decent multiplayer axis player will attack early and constantly, a decent soviet player will turtle and win by numbers and equipment

In the canon i'm basing this off, Tanks are reasonably effective weapons against the larger BETA strains, whilst massed anti-air guns are effective against the smaller ones.
TSF's are particularly useful for hunting specialized anti-air BETA strains because they hug the ground well and are much more maneuverable then any tank. Taking out these anti-air BETA allows for air-support which in turn allows victory.

When should you convert them into military factories and how many should be left as civ factories the entire game?
Is there a point in building civil factories as US to stomp everyone late? Or should I just pump out mil factories?
>>145115862
Suppose you prefer 'Free American Empire' Rob
>>145115692
entwine industry and civ factories (1 civ followed by 1 mil)
for axis and allied majors (excluding America and france) get about 60 civ factories, for Russia and the exluded allies try and get even more (70-80, more as Russia if you can)
then mass produce mil factories
Why would a fascist America change it's name? United States is fine for a fascist America.

>how many civ factories left end of game
what you made throughout the start and middle
why?
>convert civ factory to mil factory= lose another civ factory to trade to compensate new costs of the new military factory
>make a new military factory from scratch= constructions stack so you can maybe make 2-3 mil factories the same time it takes to convert 1 civ factory. Lose another civ factory to trading to compensate resource demands for the 2 new mil factories
summary
conversion= 2 lost civ factories and no infrastructure potential in future
building a new one= get two mil factories and lose a civ factory to resource trading
building more always trumps conversion in most nations mid-late and early game

Are you fucking retarded? The name of Franco's Spain was literally 'Spanish State'

Cool since they aren't guaranteed I'll treat myself.

Should I just keep killing rebel pops or give in to them already? Most rebels seem to be craftsmen/clerks as well.
You think they'll add the cute little arrows to EU5?
>>145116705 here, can somebody just screenshot the main info boxes from the Wikipedia pages for Vichy France and Spanish State and post it with every new thread so we can end this moronic debate over the names of fascist France and Spain being '______ State'
It's bad enough that people argue FOR 'Vichy France' to STAY as the name of a fascist France
I just played HoI4 as Communist Mexico and spread the revolution through almost all of the Americas.
The funny part was Europe become a total clusterfuck with Nationalist China conquering most of Central Europe and all of Turkey except Ankara.
Don't have pic though sry

my current armor build has been
6-10 motorised, 2 light tanks, 2 light td's, 1-2 light spgs, recon support with engineers
the light tanks counter soldiers and add meat to the motorised infantry, the light tank destroyers can penetrate any medium and heavy tank until 1940-41 and will counter player tank divisions, the self propelled guns rape standard infantry and will be the game changer against soviet infantry heavy players
for infantry army's I always go 9-10-15 (15 for Russia) soldiers, 2(early)-4(late) artillery, 2-4 anti tank (early-late game), throw in engineers or artillery support
the anti tank won't be very good against armour if your attacking, but will hold a line if you are entrenched and effectively begin to bleed player armor and motorised divisions. The artillery is self explanatory and need to beat other infantry divisions in the field. This is a jack of all trades divisional set up that will hold and push but wont excel at either. However, it's better to have this then going full anti tank and getting wrecked by other infantry or going full soft attack artillery and geeting raped by enemy armor
I MUST STRESS THIS, IF YOU ARE GOING MOTORISED AND WANT SPEED AND PENETRATION, YOU NEED A LIGHT TANK DESTROYER, OTHERWISE A SINGLE MEDIUM TANK BRIGADE CAN DESTROY 2-3 LIGHT TANK DIVISIONS, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY CANNOT PENETRATE THE MEDIUM.
medium td's and tanks ar'nt necessary; their slow and take longer to produce, as well as being vulnerable to light tds
>>145112951
I referred to it in most of the final posts as "The Napoleonic Age," so you can always go with that if you'd like. Other than that I never really named it.
Are you putting all of the text alongside the images, by chance?

Damn it's 1944 in my HOI4 game and I have realized that most of the AI hasn't researched a shit.
USA still doesn't have a single medium tank division. They only have light tanks. Also their Air Force is pretty shit too.
URSS hasn't researched planes they should have researched 4 years ago.
Germany doesn't even have an air force, only a bunch of fighters and no bombers. But their army is up to date.
Wtf is wrong wit the AI in this fucking game. I'm pissed.

Sounds like your game is progressing according to history.

japan is easily one of the most fun nations in the early game
>>145117870
When was the German army up to date?

Misc campaign guy, please make Corneliu Codreanu a possible fascist leader of Romania
>>145117658
>USA still doesn't have a single medium tank division. They only have light tanks.
When I subdued France as Germany they had like 5 light armor divisions and that was it. In 1941. Also, none of their infantry had AT guns. Needless to say, they didn't last long against my armored fist, I didn't even have to go around Maginot.
>>145117912

Misc Campaign Guy may I ask what mod you're making
>>145117643
but muh factories and RGOs
How exactly do I spend my excess experience on making new variants of tanks/subs/etc?
I remember seeing some guy streaming doing it, adding +speed to his fighters or something, but fucked if I can find the option for it.
UI of this game is pretty shit.
>>145118080
post factories
>>145114841
British Raj, Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines
That's it.
who will make the mod to give hoi4 a proper map and not this glowing neon shit?
>>145118048
>not playing Heim ins Reich Simulator 2016
>>145117791
Why would they call themselves counter-revolutionaries?
Trotsky's faction was called Left Opposition, if you're using them.
>>145118282
British Raj probably counts as a major because of its industry imho
>>145118150
Go to production and you can probably figure it out
>>145117829
literally noone you fucking cockroach
>>145118043
HOI4 needs some serious tweaking or it'll end like Vicky 2 where AI still uses sailing ships in 1935
>>145117912
japan has a pretty shitty time in MP because nationalist china can easily challenge them and soviet players will want to push them out of asia early
soviet takes some degree of competence and most players cant be arsed to wait until 1939 to go on the offensive, US are the same in that regard
UK is like this but even worse, you don't become OP after a certain point and you effectively have to wait for the US to act or play African safari
France is a losers game, hold for as long as possible, a western poland
>>145117912
I myself personally am still learning how to most optimally use naval forces since the system is weird as fuck so I've avoided playing Japan/UK/Italy

Why is the AI so shit at encouraging clerks and capitalists?
army comp tips?
>>145118717
because communism is answer :]
I never really played HOI3 but was it as easy as HOI4? Did the AI fall behind in research so fast? I am very disappoint right now
>>145118869

>>145117376
Do you not care about combat width
>>145117420
I'll go with that then. About the text, I plan to remove the stuff that you usually put in spoilers, out of the actual narrative, if it's okay with you. Aside from that, all the text is there, yes.
>>145118150
Go to production, and when selecting a new unit to build, click the variant button. It makes sense if you aren't going to research the next level immediately. The more you add, the more expensive it becomes, so it may only be a fighter that is faster, or a bomber that has longer range.
>>145117771
It says in the pastebin how to avoid using the new music
Any way to get planning bonus without assigning a frontline? I don't want the AI to shuffle my shit around like crazy, but the lack of up to +100% soft attack is pretty harsh.
>>145119175
Not the point. No need to keep downloading the same thing.

lol no it's not important when it coms to larger battlefields like Russia, where your divisions are spread out, and you won't have a larger enough experience pool early on to make such large divisions when attacking say france or Italy.
it's honestly neither better or worse to throw 13 divisions in a single tile at a 2-3 div stack merely because you can wear them down and eventually force their retreat via disrupting their command organisations; it's the basis of late game Russian strategy
>go defensive tech with massive divisions
>build up industry and manpower
>mob chokepoints and hardpoints with 12 divisions on a single tile
>lose 12,000 men, force enemy to withdraw from hardpoints due to constant attacks and disrupted command organisation
>pop another conscription pill, now 3 million men to recruit
>rinse and repeat
don't ever worry about combat width, by the time it becomes an issues (and you can fully reinforce your divisions) you'll be fighting in russia
>>145118883
If it's anything like hoi2 then the ai is heavily scripted and predictable, the british fleet is incapable of defending great britain, and generally the battle ai is as braindead as it is now

Following the USA's victory over Mexico and Great Britain in 1861, and the further purchase of western lands from Navarra, Alaskan philosopher Karl Marx publishes his writings on the class war.
Meanwhile, the king and parliament in Navarra took a step backwards from planning the economy and began to leave it to wealthy investors where to develop manufacturies, in a desperate attempt to catch up to the well-developed industries of France and Prussia who had done similar.
>>145119441
Are you the guy who used to Codreanu post ages ago?
>>145119828
Still enough there and yes, I should've built those tank divisions, but I honestly expected Poland to give me Danzig.

Oh, okay then. There are still about 150 images yet to upload, so I don't think I can finish it tonight, but it'll be done by tomorrow.

>>145120297
Thanks lad. I have another suggestion for fascist Romania. If Codreanu dies, make Horia Sima the leader of the Iron Guard, and Antonescu head of the non-aligned movement. Historically, Sima and Antonescu took power jointly for a few months between 1940 and 41,( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Legionary_State) before Antonescu turned on him and created his own sole dictatorship.

No way, I'll never surrender and come back is incoming. They've lost 150k in only a month after I started digging in, plus Soviets are gonna get them now.

China was one of the main combatants of the war. They lost nearly as many people as the USSR. This isn't like asking for Afghanistan to be well fleshed out or something.

fucking retarded system
allies are such a gimmick where any country attacked will jump into the allies when they are about to be raped and then it becames a world war
also, the AI is so retarded, hitler attacked the allies (8 countries) and the soviets within 2 weeks of each other before it even finished with poland.

If you didn't notice I am a democracy and do not follow the "schedule", but I still wanted to take Danzig peacefully which did not happen. My army wasn't prepared to attack at all so I suffered insane loses at first and then I had to dig in and now the war went long enough for the British Jew to join in.
