Reminder that SteIIaris has its own general and discussion of the game doesn't go here. Thank you.

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, June 13th:
1373 – Anglo-Portuguese Alliance between England (succeeded by the United Kingdom) and Portugal is the oldest alliance in the world which is still in force.
1805 – Lewis and Clark Expedition: scouting ahead of the expedition, Meriwether Lewis and four companions sight the Great Falls of the Missouri River.
1886 – King Ludwig II of Bavaria is found dead in Lake Starnberg south of Munich at 11:30 PM.
1917 – World War I: The deadliest German air raid on London during World War I is carried out by Gotha G bombers and results in 162 deaths, including 46 children, and 432 injuries.

You can play without arrows. Depending on situation that can give you advantage. The battle plans take a while to prepare, and during that time the enemy is entrenching or reinforcing his lines.

Reminder

Negatives

> Total lack of flavor events and decisions
> Shallow supply mechanics
> Horrible graphics that are also hardware intensive
> Naval invasion/paratrooper mechanics are clash of clans tier
> No portrait diversity
> Defensive theory/units are OP
> AI is horrible with the exception of naval invasions,
> Can't target specific provinces in aerial raids/bombardments
> No province names, this plus the shitty graphics makes the world seem tiny and lifeless
> Lack of Ledgers and Map modes
> Peace conference system while a very good idea has been poorly implemented
> Border gore that rivals EU III due to the AI being able to march anywhere on the map with no repercussions and the shitty Peace conference system
> Peace is impossible to obtain due to you having to force every nation you're at war with to capitulate
> Battlefront AI is horrible at combat
> You lose massive bonuses for not using plans and manually commanding your troops
> Every nation in the game starts out with the same level of tech
> No liquor factories

Positives
> Revamped, easy to use, meaningful production system
> Much improved tech tree
> Improved nuke/rocket mechanics
> Clear concise UI despite the shitty graphics
> Manpower mechanics are significantly improved
> Aerial superiority now makes a fairly large difference in land battles
> Battlefront AI is fairly useful, removing a lot of tedious micro management

How do you redraw front lines when you have units occupying the province not offensive lines. I have a one province bulge that I'm wasting 6 units to occupy with. I want to move the frontline back one province there. It's the small bulge at the very south.

>>145371370
> Shallow supply mechanics
Have you seen supply map mode? It's the same HoI3 mechanics only it works on state level and fixes exploits like "surround the capital to starve the army".
> Naval invasion/paratrooper mechanics are clash of clans tier
It's better than HOI3's point-n-click.
> No province names, this plus the shitty graphics makes the world seem tiny and lifeless
Why would you like all these province names? You can't do anything with provinces.
> Peace is impossible to obtain due to you having to force every nation you're at war with to capitulate
Not true, you only have to beat major powers, i.e. you don't have to land in NZ to beat Allies.
> You lose massive bonuses for not using plans and manually commanding your troops
No, you just don't press the "exucute" button and keep the bonus.
> Every nation in the game starts out with the same level of tech
Not true, but the difference is minor, yes.

Jesus fuck, shut the fuck up about Russia not surrendering. The soul fucking purpose of Russia's Eastward expansion throughout its entire history was to give them more land to retreat to. Because Russia is literally one giant field it's almost totally indefensible. They strategically founded and built cites in the east, north of Kazakhstan and in Siberia, genocided and relocated entire ethnic groups of people, and built industrial infrastructure specifically to do what they are doing to you now. Russia didn't just mindlessly expand, notice how all of their borders stop at some sort of natural ( defensible ) barrier, whether it be a mountain, desert, or river. SERIOUSLY IM SO FUCKING SICK OF " HURR HURR WHY DON THEM IVAN SURRENDER, I GOT MUSCOW HURR HURR ". Seriously, go fucking die.

>>145371238

5 regiments with 5 battalions each.
a fully decked out division seems to have similar numbers in terms of manpower to a real division iirc? about 15-20k men. I dunno about equipment however.
sadly a full division is retarded and you are better off with 10/20/40 width divisions.

Except that there are no supply stacks anywhere. You can literally drive 5000 tanks from Paris to Stalingrad without EVER having to think about them running out of fuel

I'm playing as USSR and have around 300 divisions in 1942 but it's not enough. Gemany and their European allies never managed to advance, but Japan controlls all of China and some parts of India and is throwing hundreds of divisions at my Siberian border. I want to kill myself now. I never expected this shit to happen, I guess it's impossible to win this shit. Not even the Western allies pushing into France seems to help. I guess I should have built even more divisions, maybe around 500
