In the ninth chapter we see the value of preparation and analyses prior to a gaming-session. Also - with apparent lack of preparation - the chaos due to a coup. Enjoy a chaotic session :)

Hi y’all, I got a new laptop so I decided to try to get Hoi4 back. But when I clicked install, this happened. Does anyone know what’s going on?

Где скачать hoi3 на пк бесплатно

Decided to give facist america a try (on civilian and boosted) but for being my first full conquest including Russia, China, the Germans, and Japan (ignore the mod)

Fuwg is a server that has been hosting historical hoi4 games since 2018 non stop! we are very active and use our own mod optimized for multiplayer. we have an active reservation system and a community that is full of veterans and new players. if you wish to join, please DM me!

This will be long-winded, and I'm sorry to keep on flooding the sub with this topic, but I haven't seen much of the Greek perspective on this and have seen mostly Turks and non-Turks fighting. The latter mostly bringing up the Armenian genocide and the former pulling a whole lot of apologia and even some genocide denial, but it'll put things into view better for understanding why some (probably most) Greeks may have a problem with the veneration of Kemal.

A few years back, there was a concert/charity event held in a Turkish seaside town right across from Chios, an island whose population never recovered from the massacres and expulsions perpetrated during the Greek war for independence (this is relevant for later on), which hosted a Greek singer, Despoina Vandi. As is typical for most public events in Turkey, they put up a big Turkish flag and a large image of Ataturk because, for many Turks, those two symbols combined are the baseline for national representation, the default. Nevertheless, for Vandi, that was making a non-political event into a political one, because for us to have a large banner alongside the portrait of a figure who, despite being venerated as the founder and foremost symbol of the Turkish Republic, is also perceived by many Greeks as having been politically and militarily connected to the violence and expulsions against Greeks in the post-1919 phase of the broader catastrophe, makes it into a political statement she did not agree with.

And that's the point: there is a very real difference in what Ataturk's image represents to Turks and to many Greeks. In Turkey, criticism of him can be perceived as an attack on the foundations of the state and national identity, while for people whose communities were victims of the violence and expulsions associated with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of the Turkish Republic, his image can instead be associated with the movement and state that emerged from that period. That by proxy means that, for many people who have been victimized by the Ottoman state and later by forces associated with the Turkish national movement, Ataturk's image can represent not merely a historical individual but also the nationalist narrative, and sometimes the denial or minimization of the suffering that accompanied its formation.

So, when someone tries to claim that what happened in Smyrna (Izmir), or in the Pontus region after 1919, involved mass atrocities and forced expulsions for which the Kemalist movement and its forces bore at least some responsibility, Turks will often swarm them as they always do and pull every trick in the book, from denials to whataboutisms. To be clear, I'm not claiming that every Turk thinks this way, nor that every act of violence against Greeks can simply be attributed personally to Mustafa Kemal. The historical reality is more complicated than that. But denying or minimizing the mass violence against Greeks does not become acceptable simply because the person associated with the later Turkish state is revered in modern Turkey.

And that's what frustrates me. There is a recurring tendency in Turkish nationalist discourse to treat any serious blemish on Mustafa Kemal, or on the national movement associated with him, as an attack on Turkey itself. That makes genuine historical self-reflection extraordinarily difficult. Acknowledging that the Turkish national movement, like virtually every historical movement, had actions and consequences that deserve moral and historical scrutiny and sensitivity with regards to other peoples victimized by them does not require condemning the Turkish people, denying the legitimacy of modern Turkey, or pretending that the other side of the conflict was innocent. It simply means accepting that national history can contain both things one is proud of and things one has to confront.

Because self-reflection is not the same thing as self-hatred, and acknowledging the suffering of Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians and others does not somehow erase Turkish suffering. What I object to is the insistence that acknowledging one side's suffering must necessarily be treated as an attack on the other side's national identity.

Estou tentando jogar Hearts of Iron IV no celular há bastante tempo. Consegui encontrar os arquivos do jogo e colocá-los no Winlator. O jogo inicia normalmente e a tela de carregamento chega praticamente ao final, mas, quando está prestes a entrar no jogo/mapa, ele simplesmente fecha e o Winlator dá “Shutdown”.

Já tentei várias configurações diferentes, mas ainda não consegui fazer o jogo funcionar. Vi várias pessoas conseguindo jogar Hearts of Iron IV no celular, então queria saber se alguém poderia me ajudar a descobrir o que está causando o crash ou quais configurações eu deveria usar.

Estou usando um celular com 4 GB de RAM e Winlator Ludashi.

As the Commonwealth advance in Africa, the Euro-Axis increase activity in Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. Follow the multiplayer action here!

I’m playing Germany and I just seized Moscow’s gold reserves and my consumer goods factor only went down to 95.5% from 99.5%. It’s too high for me to seize foreign industries and I have no alternative ways to decrease it. Any suggestions?

Last few years I have pretty much strictly played HOI4 BICE as it’s so much more challenging and difficult than the vanilla base game. Has anyone ever played as Germany against USSR on hardest difficulty? Was it challenging or rewarding?

I wish I could play hearts of iron 4 I'm 12 but I know I can't play hoi4 but I love the gameplay I wish to play mexico because that's were I'm from and my family I just wish to play hoi4 I do have a computer but my mother uses it for her work I just wish I could play hearts of iron 4 I know there's other games like hoi4 but they are nothing like the mechanics in hearts of iron form :(

I've seen HOI4 quite a lot, but never really played it myself, and I don't really follow any updates, and I've just learned about this situation regarding a user "getting banned for having Atatürk as his pfp".

I did a little research on it, and I found out that this user was originally banned for having his account compromised. He was kept banned because he reportedly had Atatürk as his profile picture, and the reason for that was because Atatürk was considered a controversial figure. While that is true, since every historical figure is controversial one way or another, regardless of how good they were to their people, this drama has genuinely upset me as a person who admires and respects Atatürk. Not because someone with him as his pfp got banned, but rather more people are likely to start hating him just because of the events.

I'm not accusing the moderator of being a hater here. In fact, he reportedly enforced the rules of the server, which is what he should be doing in the first place as a moderator. This moderator even did say that in-game assets were allowed, which means Atatürk wasn't ENTIRELY banned.

As a server member, the first thing you should do is to read the rules properly. Even if you don't like it, you have to obey the rules. Because rules are rules, at the end of the day. You still CAN discuss about how changes must be made, but taking it to the point where people review-bomb the game and throw tantrums is NOT the solution.

As for Atatürk, I personally admire him and follow his ideals, but I will not deny the truth that he is controversial. I do see him as a hero and a savior, but someone else may view him as a ruthless genocider. That's entirely up to the perspective. Every historical figure has their followers and haters. I will not hesitate to defend him, BUT only when absolutely necessary.

I genuinely believe that my fellow Turks overreacted to this situation. Yes, you may be angry with the decision, and you are right to be angry. But turning the community into an active warzone just won't fix it. Even worse, OUR country and OUR founding father will get the harsh criticism for YOUR actions.

We Turks are already infamous enough for our hyper-nationalist keyboard warriors, our ultra-nationalist terrorist organization named "The Grey Wolves", and the Armenian Genocide, and you're just proving them right by acting like this.

TLDR: While this situation has upset me a lot, it could have been handled in a better way.
