When I make navies, the most important thing seems to be the carriers. Give them something like a 60/40 relation between Naval Bombers/Fighters
I'm not sure if the Fighters are even worth it, because the AI never has nearly as many Carriers as I do, but the Naval bombers sure as fuck are. They'll usually be the first contact, and can even win battles without any of your other units engaging
I also throw some Light Cruisers and some Destroyers because it looks good, I don't know if they actually do shit

>>145449826
Based R&I keeping stallaris steamgroupers out
>>145449832
It's already good. But it's missing some obvious things that are needed for autism mods. For example, you can't use a piece of equipment as part of production resources. Say an old tank as ingredient for tank destroyer.
Something like that would allow a modder to, for example require engine to build a plane.

i'd buy it
Still didn't decide on how to handle terrain in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Much of these countries is covered in desert and cities only happen along the rivers.
Anyway, I added Kunduz, which is the absolute monarchy name of Badakhshan. Murad Beg conquered the Tajik part of Badakhshan and added to the Khanate that takes the name of its capital.

>>145452384

As for right now you can only supply pick-ups/vans or engines to the military but it should be possible to design tanks with mods
>>145452461
And the Irish got their help from the British.
Overall, the new immigration reform breaks the US-Canada immigration Axis and while the US still gets a fuckton of immigrants, Canada's immigrants are more spread out.
>>145452536
The ACW is largely the same thing as it ever was, so I assume the changes I made are adequate to both end event spam while keeping the ACW as it was before.
>>145452163
Can't you handle it by making cities and deserts different provinces?

The world economy, as I said before, is in one of the poorest conditions I ever saw.
This is the result of the 4th Great War, which involved most GPs, lasted from 1920 to 1924 and claimed 9 million lives. The world is still recovering from that.
>>145452720
>>145452864
That's the general idea. Problem is, Central Asia has almost no provinces to spare and the deserts have no pre-russian and sometimes even pre-soviet cities.

Well if you count the parallel conflict that developed alongside the 4th Great War, the number goes up to 12 million lives, 5 years.
Technically, only 2 great wars happened. The 3rd and the 4th happened at the same time, sometimes with the same actors and the 2nd one never happened since it was one of those damned crisis that white peace next day.
I will have a look at that now while I decide what to do with central asia.

Always worked for me in HoI2.
HOI 4 is best played on a map with many small countries like 70s and 80s africa, 90s balkans, or even 40s central america.
Watching Germany fail over and over against the Soviets is sad.
What's the max research slots you can have in Hoy4? 5?
How do I absorb puppet states? I'm getting kind of annoyed that this critical border region has shit infrastructure.
>>145449737
just tried out my first gsg and CK2 is fucking murdering me. My first game I played Wessex starting from the earliest start, gobbled up the bottom half of england until I was bordering Mercia and founded a defacto kingdom. Was doing well after 200 years, then Burgundy took Gloucester from me by inheritance and then declared war along with West Francia when I claimed it back as dejure kingdom. 3,000 men held off twice that number with some nimble navigation and my own vassals used that chance to enforce an elected monarchy through the faction system, vote my heir out of inheritance and then assassinate me.
I was two provinces away from having a dejure claim over the rest of England (Had almost all of Wales and 3/8ths of Ireland along with about 20 English provinces) and thus making the british empire, which could have solved some of my inheritance issues.
I started again as Northumbria and barely lasted 30 years because the cunthole picts kept trying to take a single province off me and then calling in all their irish butt-buddies to help when I started kicking their arse. I made an alliance with West Francia which at that point had swallowed east/middle francia, saxony and burgundy and the most they ever did was drop off 500 cavalry which sat on an unoccupied province until I quit.
Every time I got stuck in a war I got blackmailed into something by the faction system or someone tried to assasinate me and I wasn't even doing anything cuntish. I give these people landed titles for good service and then they decide they want the entire fucking kingdom.
Fucking manc cunts.

Having finished my Japan game yesterday taking suggestions on what to play next.
I was thinking of exploring the naval game more this time, maybe as Germany, trying to take down UK by naval and air strangle hold. Even though I played Japan last game it was still mostly focused on land combat. I took the Soviets down first and then had my blinged out carrier fleets stomp US and UK navies. This time i'm thinking of more active submarine style campaing.

>>145456093
CK is most focused on diplomacy out of all the paradox titles.
Focus on diplomatic ties and take the who conquest process slower. Of course you can forge an empire within a single ruler lifetime but that often sucks the fun out of the game. Advance slowly, building your faction and power up over several generations instead.

Forgot pic.
started a playthrough as commie france in HOI4 and finished the pol focus to create own faction, so how do i start one? there's a diplomacy option for some countries like commie spain to create faction but it says "ask to create a faction" making it sound like theyll be the leader. how do?
they think that their in-game jokes and memes are funny or that their references are smart.
they won't stop. from their first game to HOI4, they never stopped. they think they are comedians.

You're just way too focused on expanding your kingdom instead of taking it slow and choosing carefully who is bellow you. Take note of everyone, always look who doesn't like you, try to kill them, install someone who is friendly towards you. Don't go full on hostile with smaller guys neighbouring you if they can be allies, as sometimes there are people around you who can not be allies in no circumstances, take those out first. Marry everyone, try to expand through marriage.

Ye the air AI is retarded.
Do you have air power in that region?
Last game I encountered this weird bug where I had my fleet completely surround UK from all sides. At some point I decided to start strategic bombing them from France too for the hell of it. The moment I had my planes in the air in the Channel and Southern England the AI deployed it's planes too and destroyed almost all of my channel navy besides my carrier fleet which could defend itself. The AI literally had 30k planes which it didn't use untill provoked. My navies in the other regions surrounding UK were completely unharmed and I had no planes myself in those regions.
I think the AI only uses it air force in full for reactive play and only very limited offense, which is why all the AI powers stack tens of thousands of planes and never use them.
>>145457449
>>145457625
*increase planning speed
>>145457661
Yeah, just 300 Fighters though because of the severely limited production capacity Belgium has (most of my production went into fielding 7 medium tank divisions for the 'tower defence'.)
I know exactly what you mean though, UK in general probably has the worst AI of them all. Suicidal amphib invasions, literal non use of it's air power in key points and sends it's navy sightseeing as 3 marine divisions successfully invade dover.
>>145457790
Did Germany have any provinces on Benelux air area? If it doesn't it might still consider that area non essential even though it is directly trying to invade it.

>>145457790
>literal non use of it's air power
Could have fooled me! Playing as Italy, if I don't shit out fighters from day 1 and zerg 1940 Fighter ASAP, the UK puts its entire air force on Tyrrhenian Sea and Italy and just sits there the entire war.

I think the problem is that AI is very bad in deciding what is important and what is not.
Like it CAN bring it's force to bear like in your italy example or in my case over the english channel, but it's very bad at deciding where it's needed. It also fails at defending key areas it should be in control (like the sea areas around UK where it's loosing 10 convoys a week) or in supporting its offensive manouvers.

Ah damn. I forgot that total mobilization took away 3% of the recruitable population... Should've known that before I changed the recruitment law to that all adults serve. Whoops. Oh well, can hopefully change it back.

Nationalist Spain is part of the axis yes. Havn't really bothered with Portugal to be honest. Been focusing on southeast Asia, gonna take over Britain soon.
Some weird shit been happening in my campaign tho, like Norway holding of the Germans for like two years now.
>>145458350
That's just standard procedure. Germans don't use their air force on Denmark or Norway and hence can't dislocate the 1000% entrenched troops.
Also even the minors can shit out hundreds of divisions sometimes if you let them + aid divisions coming from other countries.
>>145458350
Also the Soviet Union is kinda on our team (?) in its war against the Allies. Japan isn't in any faction at all, but at war with the US.
I am a soldier. Speak to our representatives.
>>145458173
adding to that, that the ai never adds support brigades to its divisons. Tagswitch lategame to one major and look their designs.run unistall.exe afterwards
With previous version of EU4 is best? I don't want to play current version anymore because Mare Nostrum made the game shit.

TL;DR:
The developers made this game FOR multiplayer!
It is NOT designed to be a functional singleplayer game!
>>145458618
That would be railroading
If I have a military high commander that gives bonuses to infantry, does that include motorised/mechanised?
>>145458575
Common sense prob, even tho there were a lot of shit feature by then, development was a much better system and the revamp of buildings and forts was good

Really hate this shit. A thing is diverging from history, being 100% sure everything is random is something else. Something shitty. Played finland in 39, turned fascist hoping urss wouldnt invade. In 1942 i was 100% okay and Barbarossa didnt even trigger. Fuck that honestly

I don't know about Magna Mundi's ranking though, I haven't really played enough of the mod to actually say anything about its quality, but I think there's too many pop ups from what I have played.

Wouldn't be surprised if they accused Belgians of turning their POWs into waffles or Belgian chocolate, they lost like 4.5 million in the Ardennes alone.

>>145459795
From purely gameplay perspective you should always go concentrated on everyone as it's the superior choice provided you won't lose and human won't lose.
From a more RP oriented view soviets definitely should go concentrated as they have plenty of space in Urals to build more factories safe from bombing. Same goes for other big countries too as they have the space to build factories in safe zones and also will expect to build same things on a same line for basically for ever.
Small nations or nations expecting a ton of bombing should go dispersed as there is more need to protect your factories from bombing and small nations might need to adjust their production a lot more.
>>145459795
Always concentrated as anyone, you can just repair with those bonus factories.
Reposting questiion from last thread: Can someone help me get the gsg general changes mod for HoI4 to work? I followed the instructions in the pasteebin and it's present in the mod screen (and activated) but for some reason won't take effect in game.

the lack of such a designer wouldn't change multiplayer at all. if anything, it makes it more tedious by forcing the players to pause and look at the best combination of stats.

You should probably correct the "path" section.
You can see the mod in your launcher and can activate it so you definitely put it in the right folder. The problem you have usually happens when someone downloads a mod using workshop downloader and tries to use it on a pirated game, the game can see the .mod file but when activated it doesn't change anything because the .mod file directs to a non existent/wrong folder
Though this shouldn't happen in this case as the mod is not even on steam and ALPHA's .mod file is correct, perhaps you changed the generalchanges file name or something like that? This was the first solution to come to my mind
And no, that supported version is not a problem. I have the beta patch and ALPHA's mod still works

Not like I care, I'm probably just going to go back to EU4 or DH orquit grand strategy altogether because fuck this casual, unfinished, le office multiplayer meme bullshit

also, poland can fabricate claims much earlier than other non-evil nations because of revanchism national focus
In HoI4, what does the anti-comintern pact actually do?
I'm trying to play a "Poland First" kind of game, and influence Germany towards democracy, but that leads to the Soviet Union being super scary.

I'm not sure, but I think the manpower counter also counts units in training. Try deploying something that's under training
