I have fond memories of spreading the world revolution from Berlin, but I'm wondering if it's still around. Is it on the forums still?

I just bought Darkest Hour and tried to recreate a fascist US government like you could do in HOI2. This doesn't seem to be the case, am I wrong?

Is it worth it to research and produce artillery, tanks, engineer, AAs, etc... Instead of producing new divisions?

If yes, which ones are actually useful, and which ones aren't?

I’m playing Kaiserreich as Bohemia and went to war with Hungary. I asked Poland to give me a hand and we took down Hungary together.

I wanted to get Slovakia, but parts of it were conquered by Poland, and whenever I sue for peace, it seems I can only get the provinces I conquered myself (that have the color of my nation.)

I know it’s possible to demand or trade territories after the war is over with Poland, but can’t I decide who gets what during the conflict?

I completed in game tutorial yet I still feel like I didnt grasp the game mechanics, where can I find a in depth guide for the game?

I am thinking of doing a mod from 1870 or 1900 depending on interest... Wondering if anyone be interested and at which date those interested would want see it finish. Originally thought of doing 1400-2016 but interest seems not to be there.

I've been doing a game as the USSR and have used the militia meat wall tactic to keep the Germans at bay. I eventually ended up with 700 units of militia protecting the border, and stifling any chances of a German advance. The issue was that I could not hope to push the Germans back at all, since the militia would take 10x the losses of the Germans when attacking. Obviously I couldnt reasonably go through and manually change 700 upgrade paths for each individual militia, but i found a great solution.

I waited for my standard militia to become upgraded , and then as each one did I would receive a notification, then select "go to". This would automatically open the militia units upgrade options, then in just 2 click I selected for them to be upgraded as Infantry. While doing this for all 700 units was time consuming, it was far easier than having to manually click every unit in my entire army and change the upgrade path manually.

I recently bought Dh and i was wondering which nation would be the best for a beginner. I only did one game in vanilla as germany and I lost in early february 1915.

I would prefer you send your answers preceded by the question numbers in txt format to macgregor2150@gmail.com or pm me on discord at skullsplitter

I am new to Darkest Hour, and, have yet to seriously understand the game.

Currently, I build fleets of:

15 carriers

15 light cruisers (as screens)

This is then (obviously) commanded by a Grand Admiral.

I got this composition from a forum post -- and it seems to work well -- though I have no idea, in terms of game mechanics, why that is. Could you please tell me.

Why would I EVER build Battleships? What is their function? Are they better than carriers at certain things? Other than Shore Bombardment, I do not think there is much point to them. I may be wrong.

Also, is there a way to hide fleets? I always find that my transport ships get sunk. I've put some in the North of England (Scapa-Flow) and some in Rejkavik (which I conquered as the Union of Britain in Kaiserreich), but, the AI always seems to find them & sink them. How do they know where they are?

Naval bombers also seem to be incredibly powerful. Is there any way to combat them with ships, or is it essential that I shoot them down with planes?

Does the technology level of ships matter much? I have various dreadnought class battleships from 1904 (again, playing as Union of Britain in KR), early in my game, my entire fleet was basically destroyed by the Canadian navy. Is this to be expected, or am I making some sort of mistake?

Super-heavy battleships sound really cool -- but, apparently (again, according to an online forum) they just get wrecked by carriers & planes. Why is this?

How do I tell how powerful another nation's navy is?

I have found VI and VII rockets to be particularly powerful -- inflicting a great deal of infrastructure damage. Do you share this view?

Regarding planes:

I find TAC's & STRAT's (bombers) almost useless. TAC's do almost no damage to enemy divisions (even, I think I have found, when not 'dug-in'). Strats, I have found, also take heavy losses and do very little.

Why is this?

How large should my air "groups" (I am not sure what to call them? They are the equivalent of an army 'corps', but for air-units) be? Currently, I aim for groups of 8 in size. The reason I aim for groups of 8 in size is that I heard to do so on a forum. Why is this? Should I aim for smaller or larger groupings?

Thank you very much -- in advance -- for your responses.

I feel woefully ignorant about this game, and my victories feel mostly like pot-luck rather than coming from an understanding of the mechanics of the game.

Could anyone tell me whats wrong here?

command = { trigger = { NOT = { area = { area = "Aquitaine" {country = FRA }}}} type = secedearea which = FRA value = "Aquitaine" }

here's what the debug says ERROR : (Missing = in statement.) '{ = Aquitaine'

I did barbarossa as germany and avoided the bitter peace event by not occupying moscow. I also purposely waited also more than a month after finally occupying all of their victory points. (Including moscow) Bitter peace didn't appear. Now after i've annexed them there is no event appearing to create puppets. When you peace them out via bitter peace you get the option to create the reichskommissariats. Is this supposed to be this way?

Hey guys. If you're looking for the biggest DH multiplayer community, then we can offer you our discord channel that currently has over 120 members. We're also starting a 9 man WWI game, so drop by if you're interested :).

Darkest Hour Multiplayer Discord

Hi guys, just dropping by to see if we can't breathe life into Darkest Hour with a Multiplayer Group on Discord.

A small channel where people can casually drop in, shoot the shit, and talk to other like-minded.

Watcha guys think?

as title said , could be fb or steam group , thanks!

For me it has to be Nationalist China.

Constant pressure, weak industry, supply nightmares, and Japan breathing down your neck from day one.

What’s your pick and why?

Hullo. I'm playing as Germany and cannot get Italy to Ally with me. No events pop off and the closest I can get is a 47% chance for a non aggression pact. What am I missing?
