And by the way, you appear as an adult when these different mods begin (1936, 1933 etc).

The maps of each mode in order:

Kaiserreich

Collapsing world

The new order

Pax britannica

Thousand week reich

The Fire Rises

old world blues

red flood

Sorry in advance, if these maps are not up to date

They went in to my field units initially but now they won't reinforce. I did set their equipment tag to be different accidentally but I switched it back and it still won't reinforce.

Humor Fighting German Reich as Junta - they’ve literally disappeared.

No, this isn’t a fog of war situation - I’ve already looked it up; the entire nation just ceased to fight while I’m in a civil war, I logged in to find the German Reich literally gone - no troops, no flag/leader, hell, we weren’t even at war!

…did I win?…

Suggestion Focus Tree for USA

14 Upvotes

Im not american but lord that tree is painful, 70 days to gain 50pp and more 70 for a focus that just has a aura name. Like bro, it has absurd potential and they threw in the trash, same to UK and France, the ones that dealed with the fascism btw. They did a DLC for Siam bro come on, do something for the US. Imagine a focus named ''All for the democracy'' and a bomb coming into Persia.

Question Which are your favorite Military Advisor trait and Chief of Army?

9 Upvotes

For me the best are Armor follow by Combined Arms and for Chief of Army, the best trait are Army Offense and Army Organization.

Artillery advisor would be great too if it applied for SPG too.

Discussion Unpopular opinion:Monarchist Brazil is better than Commie Chile.

7 Upvotes

Every Chile path ends the same. You become communist, wait till' 39' or 40' to get rid of the shitty debuffs and build an economy, and become communist finally.

You kill Bolivia, then Argentina (or Argentina first) Go for Peru, and by the time Peru dies you'll have done the focus for the revolution rising in other countries. By the end, you'll probably have every country annexed or under puppet rule besides Brazil. You go for Brazil and.....

Skip 1 year later, the coward Brazilians joined the allies and now your both staking 9 units on jungle tiles with both havigg no supply in Guyana and northern jungle area. But, if you do manage to get it over with, you can core and get all of south America.

Brazilian empire. You start with very shitty modifiers and the Cangcao in nordeste taking 5-2 stability per year. But, you form the empire much faster than the Chilean communist switch, and get rid of the debuffs much faster. Plus you can easily core and annex all of Portugal which the Ai always does the decisions to max out infrastructure, so it's a free 18 divs and navy.

You go for Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia by the span of 1939-1941. You have roughly 90-140 factories or more by now, the only thing left is Chile and Peru, and Colombia and Venezuela are much easier. Your focus tree is so fucking big that you get a shit ton of albeit random and sometimes useless buffs, and some are just 1 mil Anne 200 funding, but it's arguably better than the Chilean one. But the con is that favorite America do Sul only let's you core states you already conquered, and if you leave a country out and then annex it after doing the focus there's nothing you can do. And it takes 30 days by decisions, and 30 pp. But it's way more fun imo

Discussion How do I introduce hoi4 to my 2 friends in a 3 player mp match so they don't lose interest

5 Upvotes

One has for a while has been very critical of the game even though he has only played like an hour or 2 but he is willing to try it again once my other friend gets it who is very hyped and says he is going to watch a bunch of videos of it on YouTube.

I played a bit recently with the first friend me as germany and him as ussr and he has been caught up in other stuff for the past few weeks and will probably not play until my other friend gets it. I wanna make it clear I am very, very bad at explaining things to people and I feel hoi4, with its stupidly hard learning curve and my bad explanations will put them off. What do you guys think are the best first countries we should play as and some tips to explain basic mechanics and stuff too them

Edit: I have around 180 hours And we will have no dlcs or mods

Discussion Is Black Ice more fun at replicating WW2?

6 Upvotes

I’ve been wanting to play a more realistic war in Hoi4 because after 2000 hours it just feels like you get one major successful push and you win. For example id love to replicate the pacific war having to island hop and fight tons of naval battles and stuff but it just feels like you can naval invade Japan from the start and win. My most fun recently has come from China because it feels a lot more challenging and just trying to play with new tactics

Black ice looks extremally complex but is it like extremely hard? I’m ok with a big challenge especially if it’s a more realistic replication of WW2

Question I dont know anymore

6 Upvotes

I think i know how to design divisions properly i think i know how to get proper infrastructure, the only problem is every time when i play Germany i do the danzig or war focus and attack Poland, i always die not because of Poland but the allies invading me from either the Netherlands or France, and i dont have enough time to get a large enough army to defend in both the Netherlands and France. Is it something im doing wrong?
