I'll drive Spain out of France, and reform Switzerland. Given that Spain fought the ottomans in several appallingly bloody wars (300-400k casualties each), I'm inclined to let them keep their albanian and tunisian possessions. Spanish Naples is believable and aesthetic, as are the islands, so I'm not going to worry about that.
>>145322250
Can't tell if serious.
North America is unsalvagable, mostly because France was destroyed by Spain/Austria early on, and England was trapped in a personal union with Austria for a few decades.

>>145321676
well this is indeed a weird mod and even wierder you decided to do it in vicky so the shit you're getting here is to be expected, but if you get discouraged just remember if you build it they will come
I wanna see how this thing turns out
Based mods please just give a ban, its not like they are here for contributing
>>145322836
>well this is indeed a weird mod and even wierder you decided to do it in vicky
I remember a vicky project about rome, it had some pretty cool sprites for the pops, the guy who was doing them was pretty talented
Anyway I think you can fit the system in almost any time period and the pops certainly add a lot to the game
Zombie mod is pretty fun
Where can I get the EFE mod from the image for EU4?
Want to give it a try or is it better playing EU3? I'm a big fan of Vicky 2.

Tryone conquered most of Ireland, colonized a small chunk of canada, then was conquered by perfidious Albion.
Asia is equally unsalvagable, as the everlasting Ming Reich dominates that end of the earth, and poland chases muscovy to the sea of japan

Whatever it takes to get a polish majority
so I staged a coup in brazil. they were up to around 40% fascist and I selected the most populous state for the coup. but they still only have 7 divisions to brazil's 45-50
and I don't have a large enough military to send volunteers. oh well

>>145323145
Belarus is a client state I created for the Belorussian culture, and to cut the horrifying Lithuaniablob in half.
I also created Courland, Utrechtstadt, Krakau, and Metz-Burgundy to rationalize borders along ethnic lines (and because my aggressive expansion was depriving me of allies).
>>145322836
Thanks. I won't get discouraged, I have an inner motivation for this project.

He will be, for the state of Wu, and he will be pretty based.
>>145323202
Yes. Ideally I wanted some Ainu/Emishi OPMs bordering the proto-Japanese states, but I couldn't find any sources, or even names of tribes for any time period. The colonization will probably be handled by events/decisions for a civilized Japanese nation.
>>145323465

The 3.04 patch, depending on the mod of your choice
Can you guys get Paradox under control? They're starting to be DLC jews in every game they release.
>>145325398
Sure
Question, for Legionary Romania, is the leader Sima?
Also, since the start date is before Codreanu's death, how hard would it be to mod Codreanu as faction leader and add an event in which you get a choice between keeping Codreanu or having Carol's lackeys murder him, thus having Sima or one of the other Legionary faction leaders that arose with his death replace him?
>>145325086
Yeah last time I posted my mod here was probably half a year ago, I was working on the Greek states and Persia. I've since scraped that and it will not be part of the first version of the mod, I just want to focus on east Asia for now.
is there a full list of the new portraits in the hoi4 general fixes mod?

You forgot to flip the ones on the right side.

Wasn't Arumba a fat balding guy that looked like Total Biscuit's retarded brother?
How'd I do /gsg/? I'm new to grand strategy games and chose to play as glorious communist Tibet. I ended up conquering Bhutan, Nepal, Sinkiang, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and kicked the Italians out of Africa.
I still have a lot to learn, I don't understand how to perform sea invasions or how to drop paratroopers into enemy land, but I think I did an okay job.
Unfortunately time has stopped passing in my campaign for some reason and while the date is changing all production and armies have ceased movement.

Just started playing EU4 as Ming, how do I gitgud? Anyone got a timeline of what I should accomplish at what state?
Currently I'm at 1520ish, made Manchus, some mongols, and most of Vietnam my vassals. North is pretty secure but there are still some sizable nomad empires. Allied with Korea (completely contained), Tibet, and some Indochina guy. Finished colonizing Taiwan and colonizing SEA islands. Around 50k standing army but is in debt because those colonizing costs are fucking my shit up.

are there any custom national focus trees in HOI4 general fixes mod yet?
>>145328108
When you select an army, a button will appear to create a new theater, beneath your existing theaters.
Select one of your armies in your existing theater, click that button. It will send the army you have selected to that theater. You can move an army between theaters by selecting it and right clicking on a different theater.
>>145328917
Is there any point to theaters though?

jesus christ I don't get the ai. germany has at least a hundred divisions parked near the soviet union while vichy france and italy fall, and the allies break through both in the netherlands and the balkans
>>145327462
They did attack me, but after half a year I managed to encircle about half of them and wiped them out
Now I'm outnumbered like 20:1 though and they're coming out of switzerland/northern italy and I don't have enough troops to actually push them back.
I'll try taking a quarter of my divisions off the soviet front, since they seem to have become pushovers suddenly.

You NEED to have HPM to use that version. It's like a submod.
HOI4 mod guy, I think a Captain of Industry political advisor should increase construction speed of Steel Mills, Synthetic Oil Refineries, and Synthetic Rubber Plants by +10%.
Is it possible to edit them so they have it, and what do you think about my idea?
>>145332628
The ones before SoI were for Windows 98 though. Still, Sphere of Influence is great and most likely easier to get into, so I think you should try it.
Something, somewhere, went horribly wrong

I know that losing navy feel. Lost all but 2 of my carriers because there was a storm and the enemy battleships just came at me while my own battleships proved inadequate. Took me a year to restore naval supremacy. I lost so many convoys to US and British raiders while I was struggling to deal with their fleets.
Though unlike real Japan, I gobbled up a lot of territory and wasn't left in the dry when it came to rebuilding my convoys and fleets.
well that's the second game for me where ireland joining the allies crashed the game. completely different years and other circumstances, and that's the only thing they have in common. I think I'm done for a couple months. hope they iron out those bugs and fix some of the stupid design decisions

>>145333116
how do you have such a small army
>>145333210
I would say it's on par to EU4/CK2, with maybe more complex combat mechanics while moving armies through the map, but like a simplified version of Total War if you enter the real time battles.
There's no actual "Story mode", you just select if you want to play with historical events and quests if you select a historical scenario. Events are good if you're interested in the story and quests can help you giving directions on what to do next, but the chain of historical events is incredibly easy to break, so don't be surprised if you reach a point in which you don't get more quests.

desu I've not managed to finish the war since the game keeps finding a reason to crash around 43/44, but the closest I got to winning was when I was on the allies and only had germany left and they had 10% unity thanks to nukes.
speaking of, does anyone know what happens if you nuke someone who's that low? would they auto capitulate if you nuke them to nothingness or do the nukes stop having an effect?

Omg, how the fuck do you assign factories to this shit?
I have factories built and I've clicked on this production line, but nothing ever gets built. I can't figure this shit out at all.
So is there any point where Germany stops sperging out and declaring war on anything with a pulse? Honestly I'm not going to bother with joining the Axis anymore, since if you're successful at all, Germany just DoW's people till the maps grey.
>>145338128
Here's your (you). Almost had me there for a second
>>145337379
This always happens to me. Along with Germany declaring war on Sweden and then having 100+ troops just stare them down cross the strait because there is no way to cross. The war with allies was caused by Soviets declaring on Poland. I guess they felt like holding up their bargain of the MR pact.

Whats the trick with industry?
Should I spent the first 2-3 years doing civilian industry or go straight to military industry?
And is it worth excerising your units early game or just waiting a year before the war and doing mass training?
How do I solve the infantry supplies shortage? It seems like no matter how many military inudstry I assign to it there's always a shortage.

Firstly King Edward was himself sort of a fascist, and after he abdicated he really wanted to get back to the throne.
Second Mosley wanted to keep the monarch as head of the state but with limited power, same as Mussolini's Italy. Even Francoist Spain's actual goal was to bring back the monarch which Franco did do before his death.

>can't bully Czechoslovakia for Sudetenland
>>145341694
Civilian is better because you can construct faster with more of it. And trade for resources. You can always convert it to military industry if you need to afterwards.
The only reason to build military industry is if you actually need to build more equipment, and generally you're not at war early on in the game.

>>145342436
Most monarchs during that time supported Fascists and vice versa since they wanted to prevent communism and removing monarchs from power was a communist thing.
It depends on the leader actually. Mosley wanted to use the monarch as a symbol, Mussolini was in favor of Emmanuel until Emmanuel went against him and Franco throned himself as a temporary monarch.
On the other hand in Germany after the NSDAP's rise the monarchists and national socialists occasionally clashed with each other and Hitler denied William's requests to make his son a leader.

Actually, Willy asked Hitler "politely" if he could become Kaiser again in 1940. Hitler was reported to say: "What an idiot!"
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_II,_German_Emperor
War One was Germany declaring on Bohemia, allies joined in once Germany also declared war on Poland.
It was all going well, still is kind of. 5 million germans, 1.5 million italians, 500k spanish and a million Japs against 200k losses each of UK, France, Bohemia, Romania and Yugoslavia, 100k each Poland and Belgium.
But then the fucking Soviets declared on Romania, 1.5 million of them dead so far against 300k french, 150k each Polish and Romanian.
But all of Russians GOD DAMN 400-466 divisions are in the middle of Germany fighting me, propping up the 50 remaining German divisions.
Why the fuck are the soviets protecting the axis? Having to fight them in Germany is annoying as fuck.
>>145343676
>Hitler was reported to say: "What an idiot!"
source: literally some british writer
how do I stop losing in hoi 4? without watching 4+ hours of autistic LPs
>>145343836
What do you expect Hitler to say in that situation?
>>145343676
Not him but that is seriously stupid of Willy he should have asked before the war started or try to get back to the throne himself. He was in no way healthy enough to rule in 1940, he literally died like a year later.
So is China the most likely area to get hit with dlc/fleshing out? There is even a path for Germany to befriend them over Japan, not to mention them already having events, and the whole situation PRC/ROC being all retarded if they get the same ideology.
>>145343938
how are you losing? what country are you playing? what are you trying to do? what difficulty?
I guess I've been playing a bit conservatively, but I've not had a single problem playing on normal, even starting as a small nation like chile
Hey /gsg/, it's been a while. I've taken up my blobantine game again, this is patched to a bit before the shitty coalitions came out.
Anyway, I'm worried about the mongols showing up in about 50 years. I left the Abbasids alone in Persia even though I could usurp the title. They lost Persia and I decided to usurp the Empire of Arabia title just to see what would happen, and lo and behold, they've split up entirely (they owned the land from Mugheri to Khiva). Would it be better to leave the title alone and keep them more or less united so they can be a buffer against the Mongol horde? Or would the Khan just trounce them regardless? Or should I just march into Persia and remove kebab?
I can raise about 240k total levy right now, will I be ogay against the Mongols?
>>145343938
Change it to Recruit difficulty until you learn to play good.
>>145343945
Respectfully disagree
>>145344059
I think Spain was mentioned as one of the next DLCs, but China seems incredibly likely given their principal role in the war with Japan.
I'm not surprised that Paradox limited the unique national focuses to the "major" powers but it's kind of bizarre in a few cases like that where a regional power was actually a major part of the war.
>>145344064
I'm playing on normal difficulty.
I've only tried germany and italy, allying with the other in all cases.
As Germany I spend the first few years building up civilian factories at first and military later, research industry and doctrines, infantry and support unit upgrades, build fighters and submarines.
I'm building a lot of infantry and some tank units to reach the requirements to unlock the austria and other focuses that get me land in the east Europe.
I'm also boosting fascism in France and staging a coup there.
Then when I get to the point I can assert my claims over Polish territory they're guaranteed by France and UK.
My land units on the French border hold off well against them and capitulating Poland is never a problem but when I try a counter offensive on France via Luxembourg or Belgium I start running out of fighters and my navy's long gone and soon I start incurring a deficit of all sorts of equipment and I can't recover from it.
As Italy it's pretty much the same except with less industries and technology and fighting on 3 fronts with the risk of naval invasions all over.
>>145343938
How the fuck are you losing you complete retard? I literally, literally just activated the battle plans and still won. Not as efficiently as jf I controlled everything but the point is that I won without even playing the game

>>145346495
Plus there's something great about going from "racism bad mmkay" to this shit.
If an ally sends me an expeditionary force (playing as Hungary, Romania just sent me around 60 units). If I fight with those units, will their manpower losses be replaced from my own manpower pool, or will Romanias manpower be drained?
If my manpower is beeing drained, then it's idiotic to accept the force, as my infantry unit configuration is much more efficient than Romanias.
Okay this one's great though.
>>145346776
It's their manpower.
how do I rectify this unfortunate situation
>>145346829
Thanks
>>145346829
>It's their manpower.
In addition, you can abuse their manpower to the point that they no longer reinforce fully, so be careful.
I this expedition forces are mostly a gamey mechanic to allow the player to manage the entire war if they want, as well as allowing multiplayer teams to delegate fronts to different players while still sharing the production (okay, you can manage the french front, take this army)
My "More Releasable Nations" is going well, so far all the Soviet states and some African nations are completed.
I need some help with the historical research though, I skimmed through the history of 100+ countries but it's probably full of mistakes.

>>145347706
They lost in China in my first game. My second one I played Japan myself and killed the Chinese quickly. I can tell you why Japan loses often tho. Before I went to war with China, I sent a mot division to Spain for practice, the Soviet union - they sent a tank division and it was literally unstoppable. I had to start issuing at guns to deal with it.
Lo and behold when I declared war on China, those very same Soviet tank divisions were back.
I am pretty sure that's what causes both. Nat Spain and Japan to lose. The Soviet volunteers.
how come my CAS don't appear at hangars?
>>145348080
Mmm. I started my game as USSR in 1939, too late for sending volunteers to the Spanish Civil War or to China. Maybe it's better to start in 1936 as USSR, so you can intervene there and have stronger allies by when the war starts.

I invaded poland, and then everyone just started dogpiling on me.
Italy is the reason I lost the entire southern border. If they'd held on another year or so I'd have had enough troops available to reinforce their position.
Anyways, I'm at a point where neither side can successfully attack the other. It's like WWI but worse. The total death toll from all sides is ~60 million.
Not sure how much more it'd be if civilians deaths were calculated.

So, finished that game, kind of. America and england were useless, I had to invade japan myself. And even though england didn't do shit, they got 8000 war score from bombings. Which was like, a hundred score more then me.
Which meant they got to go first.
In a war they joined a year after germany declared war on checkslovakia.
And their action in the first turn was to free a little rump state of Germany as a democracy.
Is there ANY way that I as a democracy can get a war going against another democracy? Or did the hours I spent on this game just get tossed because that's the single province I need for the achievement.
I think this is it. Churchill is practicing his German and pretty much all of my allies are dead or dead-ish. I don't know if I can endure an invasion all by myself here.
>>145353934
Builds new
Upgrading's a bit retarded with aircraft too - rather than letting you place and use up your old stuff first, it automatically upgrades all your aircraft to whatever you're producing.
So you end up with 5000 fighter I's, 2000 fighter II's, 1000 fighter III's, all sitting in stockpiles because they keep getting pulled off the lines and replaced with the latest fighter. It annoys the fuck out of me.

Invade the US they said
It will be easy they said
The AI is bugged they said
Literally how. Even if the AI is bugged there is no way I can take on the US. They have at least 8 times as many divisions as me, and they're producing them faster than me too.
>>145355831
Just camp in the mountains and let the us drain their entire manpower attacking you over and over and over until they have not a single soldier left.
Just a quick ask, is it possible to "buy" weapons or "loot" from other country in HOI4?
>garrison coastline
>uk invades my coastline
>garrisoned troops do nothing about it
holy shit why do dead ace pilots remain in your list. This is retarded, i have about 20 dead aces in the list and picking out the living ones to assign them to wings is a huge pain in the ass. What the fuck.
>>145355904
Aye, the that's one of the biggest issues I've found. If you can get yourself protected with mountains, forts and engineers the buffs that gives you make you invincible basicly. But the AI will just keep attacking you there anyway.
I killed over a million germans attacking my extended Maginot line, and lost less then 5% of that.
>>145355952
Loot yes, don't know about buying
>>145355952
When you conquer a nation you get their stockpiled weapons. And you can get a lend lease from allies, but don't count on it.

Is there any good War in the East tutorial?
I understand all the systems thanks to the manual and tutorial scenario, but that doesn't help me pick my strategic targets in the actual game
>>145355591
Should I take that as a "no" or as a "I'm a butthurt pleb who hates pirates"
So does the game automatically end in 49 or something?
>>145356118
You directly control volunteer forces sent by the AI

overuse duplicate characters portrait, need more flexible event, some country are kind of...seems paradox dosent put a lot of attention to make them more accurate, some country leader still using those duplicate portrait.
and just my opinion, but dont you guys think the tech tree should be a little more....complicate?
and i do wish player can loot the usable arsenal after battle. guess we can only put hope on DLC
>>145358697
Exactly. When I actually played it, I realized.
Haven't touched it beyond the couple hours I played. I still wonder if I maybe can get a refund and just grab it later in a sale.
>>145358962
Quite a few years at this rate, and it won't bear much resemblance to the game it started as.
The way I see it, even EUIV with all it's problems, especially on release, I still to this day love that first game I played, crushing loans and all.
This is literally the first major Pdox game that I didn't play on through all the problems.

Originally Hess was named as Hitler's sucessor. Hess had already fled the country in 1941 and Martin Bormann had taken his place as head of the Nazi Party chancellary. When Hitler killed himself, Goebbels became the new Reichskanzler on Hitler's orders and when he killed himself as well, Karl Dönitz (Chief of the Kriegsmarine) became the last Reichskanzler until the 23rd of May 1945. No wonder Großb Germaniums didn't last, with an organization like that.

Damn, now I want Paradox to make this into an dynamic event. Maybe add some kind of RNG to determine how well the assassination attempt and coup goes. 20% would be full success, one of the conspirators taking over (Fromm or von Tesckow maybe?) and they try to achieve peace onn the western front as fast as possible, 30% Himmler takes over and 40% the appointed successor takes over. So depending on how far the war has gone, Hess>Bormann>Goebbels>Dönitz. Maybe even alter the event for communist revolutionaries as well, having someone like Ernst Thälmann or Walter Ulbricht take over and trying to achieve peace on the eastern front as quickly as possible.

>>145364032
you have a shit computer also turn down multisample level
Population in the USSR is good, only 9 million off. From the census of 1926 at least. Belarus has double the population they historically had while every other country has less than they should, especially the ones in central asia. I probably need to double check their LR.
>>145364204
Russia proper has 92.60 million, 8 million less than they had in 1926. Overall it's pretty close to the historical results and seeing as they already started the Red Terror, it's understandable that they have less people.
>>145364295
Ireland got pretty good results too, bit more than they historically had but inside the "tolerable" field. Of course, their final population largely depends on what the British do during the famine and if it happens at all, but these are the numbers with the historical famine.
>>145364204
You could add population booms after each war.

The world economy is in good shape and the same observable patterns are present: the crisis of heavy industry and paper that happens in the last two decades is still around.

The population numbers aren't due to war and that would be heavily abusable. That will probably only happen later and after great wars, for losing countries only.

>Can you implement some way of it only affecting countries that contributed a certain amount of warscore/lost a certain % of their population?
No, I can't do any of these things.
>Also did you find out what effect the new immigration policies had on the economy?
In the big picture it's largely normal, but early game immigration is a bit more scarce, at least until Russia and the Ottomans open up. Late game is usually better for all countries because Canada isn't sucking up all the immigrants, but they still get a large share.

It's at this point, usually by late '38, that I lose my way a little bit. My overall build strategy is fighters (using 50% credits to get 1940 fighter in '38), cheap/low-width infantry (only artillery support, no arty divisions), a core of tank divisions, and subs. That's it. No carriers, no mechanized. Just fighters, subs and infantry.

Is there a way to influence which political parties gain popularity in your nation in Hearts of Iron 3? I'm doing an axis Yugoslavia run and while I have joined the axis, wiped out Albania, put in some new laws, etc the fascist and national socialist parties are still struggling around 7 to 8% popularity on the political menu.

I have won other wars, now I'll have to fight Soviets on one front. Should I create a field marshal, who'll lead only my infantry and let specific generals contain their trops, like Panzer Leaders leading tanks. That's how it should be, right?

There's one new province in New Zealand. A few demographic tweaks in France in a few German OPMs and in Asia.
>also I know you probably disagree with me but I think Heligoland is a completely useless province. It's absolutely tiny, has almost no pops and has almost no function in the game tbqh
I honestly think it's more useful than a few of the atolls that don't even have fresh water, like the Wake atoll.
Reminder to boost party popularity
>>145366460
Cos base width of a province is 80. 4x20width can fight in it. If you have 33 width units, only 2 will fight in frontline, rest will be reserves.

I remember my Grandfather talking about the "training" he got as part of frontline defence the southern coast. They were given 1 rifle to practice with. Within a month it was taken off them again because they were using it to take pot shots at the Hook Lighthouse.
Imagine that trying to stop even a single German Panzer.
>>145366890
Probably meant to be Sorbs. Sorbs are still a sizeable minority in that area.
Wends was something like a general term for Slavs if I'm not completely mistaken

Cottbus doesn't really have a sizable population at all, it's just nuts for Sorbs

>>145367248
Germanic imperialist go home!
>>145366912
Its 78, you have to decide if you dont need that 2 points. Also width can go above 80. If you attack from 2 areas its 80+20(20 for every new province you attack), so its best to use 10/20 width units.
>>145367248
I don't know, lad.
Sorbs still are around 12% average in that area.
Was born in Görlitz, but left the shithole that is the Far German East years ago.
But you're right. Even in the 15th century, the Sorbs only were about 30% of Cottbus.
So the number is wrong.
>>145367114
How come there are no Aromanians in Greece? And why isn't Üsküdar in Istanbul region?

>>145367248

As someone born in Görlitz who visited the city less than a month ago - Agreed.
I was in Krakau, Bromberg and Danzig and those cities are ... not in a good state.
Good thing about the EU funds is definitely that we Germans get to build up our cities without any international issues.
Especially Krakau directly after the fall of the iron curtain compared to its state today has made great progress. Not enough though.

There aren't Faroese in HPM, only the culture minimod. The 19th century was the apogee of "Britishness".
Regardless, none of this stuff justifies aromanian since they are an ethnic group, not a cultural one.
>So much did they become identified with the host nations that Balkan national historiographies portray the Aromanians as the "best Albanians", "best Greeks" and "best Bulgarians", leading to researchers calling them the "chameleons of the Balkans".

Just compare the historical parts of the city (aside from the tourism traps) to historical parts of cities in West Europe (or even East Germany nowadays).
I'm not saying that it's a shit-tier city or anything, just that Poles wouldn't be able to restore it to actual glory on their own.

The problem with the civilization system is that it doesn't represent the mixed results. For example, even when granted independence, several of the arab countries retained "primitive" characteristics. Saudi Arabia first census was in the 60's. The same thing can be said for several of the non western countries.
I know it's a problem currently, and I'd like it to be based on how advanced the mother country is and how much they invested in infrastructure of the country being released, but it's not a priority right now.
>>145368501
It's a distinction between cultures too, despite the ethnic implication. Like Anglo-Canadian and French-Canadian, which are cultural divisions even if there's an implied nationality. The culture developed by slaves often retained several distinctive characteristics that separated from the host country main culture. So instead of calling it slave-yankee, they call if afro-american, afro-Caribbean, etc.
>>145368459

Flemish and Dutch are actually important, no one cares about Greeks or Spaniards. No one would even notice they existed if you didn't point it out
Would Germany even have been able to beat the USSR, logistically?
Let's say they somehow push further instead of doing dumb shit and manage to get a surrender out of Stalin
They either hold on to all the territory, in which case they have to use their entire army to keep millions of POWs and millions more of civilian partisans down, or they give the territory back to the USSR in which case nothing is stopping them from continuing to build up and get ready for a rematch in a few months

Considering Iceland is the closest for the Faroese language, I think it's fair to group them together.
I didn't say anything about Galician and you can't say that "if X exist so Y should", especially because I didn't add Flemish. It's a vanilla culture. Regardless of what you think about Galicians or Flemish, Aromanians adopted their host's culture and were completely assimilated.

Again, different things. If you want me to make Circassians Misri culture, I'm happy to do it as long as you bring me the source. This doesn't change anything about Romanians being culturally Greek.
>But I can, because of the complete lack of consequentiality
Nope, you can't. It's inconsequential since aromanians are already represented and I didn't do the dutch x flemish separation.
You can't say "paradox separated Dutch and Flemish so these guys who were completely assimilated should be separated based on their ethnicity", it makes no sense.

It is if it works. Port provinces are usually well defended, so it's very hard to get an invasion going. I've seen it work btw. I once invaded 3 non port provinces and then attacked a port province with those forces to take it. Port was too well defended for a successful naval invasion.
