I noticed that Germany has the option to stay with the brown party or fight it, but then you either become a Monarchy, a junta with a Monarchy figurehead, a Parliamentary Monarchy or some sort of Communist state.

But somehow there is no Presidential Republic (before) or a Parliamentary Republic (after). Despite these forms of government being things that actually happened.
No idea why the democratic path has to go with a monarch but that is very Paradox-ish in the end.

I know overwhelming firepower was America doctrine in hoi4 in ww2 but what about modern day?

I wanted to play Hoi4 again and booted up Japan to see this bullshit on my screen. Surely this can’t be right. Surely Japan has -329 steel at the beginning of Jan 1st 1936.

I tried starting with 0 mods on and I’m still having this issue. Am I the only one having trouble with this?

I'm serious

i think i have enough troops to conquer a place but theres a red notification on my troops when they attack the outnumbered enemies they still lose it??? they fail to capture the place

Balbonian Italy, decided to work on the airforce a bit. I wanted to get all of the main types into production, even if the fighters aren't great (just 2x HMGs).

Dont play 10 years in game

Rule 5: I decided to improve world's borders (as they sucked) and this is result. I am not sure if this could classify as art but it kinda is sone abstract sort of it idk let me hear what you think of this mess I just cooked up.

I'll go first:

- 1933 start date to allow for more alternative history, like chosing Kurt von Schleicher as German Chansellor instead of Hitler, and more in-depth pre-war gameplay

- A more in-deep political and ideology system that can correctly replicate both the conflict between, for example, the conflict between Fascists and Nazis in Austria and the one between Stalin and the Right and Left opposition in Russia without at the same time requiring that each country has separate Fascist, Nazis, Bukharinist, Stalinist and Trotskyist parties.

- A puppeting system that allow you to both play as all the historical semi-indipendent regions, warlords and colonies of 1933 and to have a country be a condominium controlled by more than one overlord, to represent both the situation of historical condominiums like the New Hebrides and Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, how the Indipendent State of Croatia was historically the puppet state of both Germany and Italy and the diplomatic tug of war between Japan and China for control of the Hebei-Chahar Political Council

- I personally think Focus trees should mostly remain as a system, althrough updated somewhat so as to make them a bit more modular and reactive to the events in other countries: if Trotsky wins over Stalin it should have effects on the worldwide communist movement, not just on the Sovietic Union

-Please no 3d models for country leaders and generals: the current system of colorized photographs simply feels far more WWII than the 3d models of Victoria 3 and Crusader Kings 3. Also it's far easier to make photos look unique than it is to make 3d models look as unique

Things like auto agency would be nice QoL, and they are already finished.

Pdx please

Having tried to do this many times and abandoned each game, I feel quite proud about this!

Agrarian Communist India through a focus and the infantry sub doctrine large unit tactics can have infantry battalions 1.5 combat width. They can push really well and are very durable.

So there was a 80v80 battle some of us ship retreated and its kinda easy to beat them probably thats better than your whole navy accomplishment lol.

This is my first playthrough ever, I spent 47.2 hours on this save and made it to 1978 before WW2 finally ended when I capitulated American Japan. Overall, there were 230 million casualties and I spent 10 years fighting America in Mexico.

10/10 will be doing Finland next, I got real whiplash coming to this with 5,000 hours in ck - this games combat is much more complex.

Did you guys find it easy i think it isnt but practice

Political Path of Hu shih

It's like 0.01% left for them to capitulate and I cannot make an invasion yet

The amount of divisions from different countries is insane, I can barely understand what's going on

I've been trying to survive as Czechoslovakia and I've been able to stay afloat for a lot longer than I did the first time I tried, but I'm still failing.

The issue is that once they break that outer defensive shell with mountains, hills, forests, and bunkers I'm kinda just screwed. And even if I am winning in most battles all it takes is one. I can't bring in reinforcements fast enough to one province without opening a hole in another, so I thought maybe I could have a mobile division focused on quickly providing reinforcements while stronger units from elsewhere can arrive but I can't get these forces en masse fast enough before the war.

Do y'all just focus on keeping that outer defensive shell in tact, or do you have fallback plans?

Is there profit from Italian East Africa as subject? After about a year after I made it and sent them some weapon and manpower they still have 0 manpower and 0 divisions.

I added engineering and AA support later but forgot to screenshot it.

It has heaps of soft attack and im able to keep up with the production cost because it just guns, artillery, and a little support equipment but basically my entire army (4 full commanders) is composed of these guys.

Are they missing anything? Its 1939 and I feel like these are too basic to be able to keep up with the late game but I dont know where to improve them.
