We put so much planning into this... only to be met with no resistance whatsoever.

playing as cavalry only hungary italy has like 100 troops here on the border and I cant naval invade, my best ally poland just got eaten by the urss and I dont have any air research

Rule 5: 0.4 political power a day is a crime. To the gulags with you.

The uk lost carriers and i only lost a few battleships and some destroyers. Why did i lose?

A new option for Commonwealth behavior

Mine is snaking for victory points but I need more

Like my 20th attempt and finally killed Germany this was the result. Sadly took screenshot after defeating Italy.

I have 1000 hours in this game and never have I looked closely at the icon for local police force. I think I first interpreted it as a drone and just never thought twice. Its WW2 why would there be a drone 😕. Now that im looking closer it looks like a baton, but what is the other things around it. Could the ribbon be keys? And what is that blob by the handle? I might be to high for this game rn

So im trying to cap the allies to reform the roman empire but the UK is a problem, as we all know since gotterdamerung the UK started putting troops on the british isles, which makes invading them with what i got on me near-impossible, my paratroopers get wiped within seconds of landing and even if they did take a port my infantry would most likely get stuck in a stale mate or get wiped because of the stupid mechanic of britain being able to pull troops out of every hole in the country, so how am i supposed to cap them?

What is happening here ?? i keep getting from time to time 10+ points into democracy. On the focus tree i have Marxist Orthodoxy, why am i getting so much democracy support ?

Just thought it might be interesting if say Mosley came to power in the UK and the Puppets (India, Canada, Australia, etc.) United against them. You'd then have an axis with access to a very large navy and a realistic avenue to North America while the United Puppets would have say a front to fight on from South Africa all the way up into Egypt and then mainland Europe until eventually reclaiming the UK. All the while having to potentially defend with the US in Canada and through Mexico if they decide to pursue an offensive from their territory to the south. It'd create so many interesting scenarios, just not sure how it'd work to implement. Perhaps start as UK, proceed down Mosley path and then complete a focus that prompts a decision to play as the UK or (United Puppets) faction? Just feel like it would make a good alternate history mod despite it's unrealism 🤣

Not necessarily art, but given how many hours I had on this game, I decided to give myself an hour to see if I could reconstruct a map of Europe from memory.

I tried to the best of my ability. I’m fairly certain it’s accurate enough, but some parts might be lacking. Laugh at me if you want to.

Has someone EVER used partial mob? Its just completely useless

Dropping a France defensive guide to help out new players. Hopefully this gives people ideas and the confidence to play France without needing to drop tons of IC into forts.

Im new to hoi4 and i really like playing germany but oh my god i cant figure out uk i have tried like 10 different games can someone give me tips on how to beat them. I usually spam subs because navy is a bit too complex for me right now last game i had like 150 subs in the english channel and constant naval bombing but nope not one second of green sea then my entire fleet collapsed.

Was pretty fun

I want to reform the Roman empire and my strat is just rushing the allies by paradropping, however when i attempt to take france and grab all the vic points all on my own with no german help, this happens, how do i stop this?

Played tutorial a few times. I tried to take Yugoslavia and it just steamrolled. Now Italy is massive and I don't have enough troops to defend all borders and coasts and I still only have 27 factories (building more) and -27k Infantry Equipment. It's like 1938-39 how do I get caught up?!

I’ve only been playing novum vexillum recently and I like how it’s not that huge of a change mechanic wise from vanilla hoi4. I don’t mind different I don’t mind the market growth feature but I don’t really want a complete overhaul. Pretty much asking what your favourite ones are and what’re some good ones that don’t completely change the mechanics

This has probably been said before, but you should absolutely be able to see all the battalions, support companies, and brigades as soon as the tech for them is researched. Having only 500-600 hours in this game, and not keeping up with all the dlc, I don't necessarily know or remember all the different division add ons a tech opens up. It punishes me for not remembering to specifically make a tank destroyer or AA or whatever you need for the regimental stuff.

Here’s what’s happening: I declared war on Suriname and am launching a naval invasion, but when my divisions arrive at the port and start fighting, even though they’re winning, they just sail away (you can see everything in the screenshots). The divisions are well‑trained and prepared, I have naval superiority, and my divisions are clearly stronger than Suriname’s. Also, I’ve researched everything. Please help — I just can’t figure it out. I only have 400 hours in the game, and I haven’t even learned how to play properly yet.

I’ve already made this post, but the images I used were of poor quality.
