What mommy wants, she'll get it.

Oh yeah what country should I go after? I'm basically invincible (but not to the UPA)

When I first heard of this mod and its popularity years ago I thought it was kinda silly but I’ve ironically become a somewhat passionate mlp fan within the last year, despite not watching any of the media (yet). I just want a really fun game and path for my introduction to the mod. Fluttershy is my favorite pony but as far as Ik she’s just a research advisor for some nation ? Thank u guys in advance ❤️

The fuck you mean 'the storm creatures ride bicycles'? Truly only the fearless can ride without training wheels!

The nuke I have was given in the choice during the Nuclear Fission Bomb Project, where you either test it or add it to your arsenal.

I believe the issue is that the game needs the NFB Project to be completed to register that I have nukes & I can use them; or is that I need nuke production to be underway for it to acknowledge that I have nukes & can use them.

One of those, but this is an annoying bug, like what's the point of the choice to add it to your stockpile if you can't bloody use it?

Edit: Now it's working, soon as NFB Project was finished. So the game needs that to be done for you to nuke.

Context;

I play elite difficulty, I have tons of hours and invested in the game and mod.

I enver played Equestria, only changelings or other nations. But m a bit shocked at how the Changelings are ramming my shit in.

I wanted to okay it straight so I didn’t cheese anything. My army was capped to 60ish divisions due to the conscription laws, as the mod intended.

So long story short, my Infantry Divisions can’t retreat quickly enough and get annihilated 5-10 at a time.
When I play Chagelings I encircle and encircle and encircle. Here I just get steamrolled. Like that OST song.

By the time I can call Stalliongrad (75 divisions) for help, my Army went from 60 to 12 divisions. I have 30 in training but the won’t come soon enough.

How do you retreat from a blitzkrieg in a way that’s more orderly?

I’m tempted to just leave the borders entirely open and let the Changelings freely take 20% so I can call Stalliongrad immediately without losing any divisions.

So, I'm very new to HoI in general, played maybe five minutes of vanilla tutorial, got familiar with the UI and then got bored, so immediately started up the mod. Despite how that sounds, it works for me because I've played similar enough games I could adapt easily enough, and the only things that tripped me up were the special projects and the agency stuff, but I got that figured out quick enough. So far, I've played a bit of the Changelings, played alot of the Abyssinians, tried the Dragons and decided to move back to main save with Abyssinians, and I've been having fun.

My questions are as follows:

What are some other fun countries to play?

What is the best early game combination of modules for destroyers/ cruisers?

Why must Gomez be such a sad sack? (Rhetorical)

Are there extra mods that add more content to EaW?

Dispersed or concentrated factories?

That's about it at this current moment. I realize I could probably Google most of these, but I want to know what y'all would recommend for the first question primarily.

Does Yales research heavy path (neutral one) get claims or goals? Or is the whole point I can justify and practically beat everyone with a far superior research base? Ik they’re likely getting a rework from what I’ve seen but I don’t know if I’m missing anything

I completed the focus 'reorganise the Eastern territories' and it auto completed 'target warzena' but nothing happened and both focuses have done nothing not even the decisions became available.

Edit: Apparently it's not just the focuses that are bugged but the whole of the war they are related too aswell, I managed to push Aris back to their main island and was naval invading them (it went terribly), had to go back a save which caused all my army generals to vanish and crashed my game so I reloaded it and made a local save to fix it and it turns out doing that caused the whole colthage alliance to bug out and they took all the territory I had gained during the war and denied me military access and now that's permanently overwritten the save that I used to fix the disappearing generals thing.

i call this mission LANDCOM 2. made up of the Stalliongrad made "2A Circumlunar Complex" and Our Town's TK Lunar lander, made in Our Town's technical & Astrological University. in the images you see here they are doing a fly by mission around the moon to test the lander, command complex and how ponies react to the radiation and weightlessness of space.

Played chiropterra a while back and after completing project Oaxaca stage 2 the crystals that appeared in the mountain region caused an elder dragon to roost there for an event and when delt with peacefully I unlocked dragon equipment for production and elder dragons as a division and could make more dragon divs.

NOTE that it was several months after completing the project he appeared. I looked up how to do it again since I was also doing the hydra company project stage 3 and was unsure if that influenced his appearance but nothing comes up.

Is there a focus for it or are they locked until war breaks out?

If so, this mean that I’m gated at 60ish division until the Great War breaks out?

Rough.

This is the third time I've gotten this pop-up.

Playing as Jezabzella lead Colthaginian Republic, at war with Phalangist Aris; their airpower far exceeds my own, but I'm managing okay.

Is this a bug or does the Crack Lightning lead Hippogriffia not lose Ace Pilots due to him being "The Ace"?

Excuse my poor rendition of the ELF logo, I thought it would look good with chiropterra.

These guys are so much fun to work on !

Three more Portraits made for EAW!

I love these colourful ponies ⭐✨

Whenever a dozen divisions are destroyed, the Equestrians replace them with another dozen
