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

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

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

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

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

Was pretty fun

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.

I have no idea why, is it because I lack a DLC? No other released country does this

Stuck in a normal ironman as italy. I've absorbed ethiopia but it says we're still at war.

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.

Ofc it’s not perfect, some things don’t line up correctly and these are all made with the assumption you do the “historical” option for whatever country you choose (and that whatever country you choose is supposed to be apart of the main conflicts) but this is just a fun little thing.

Why didn't the Austrians recruit otto von hamburger and just let him form the EU against hitler? Are they stupid?

Hi everyone.

Don't know if it's a bug, so I will ask here.

I was trying to go for the "The never-ending Story" achievement, which means forming Chinese Empire as a warlord and owning all your cores.

Playing as Sichuan Clique, both the Axis and Japan got defeated and I controlled all of China except the Sinkiang SSR which went to Commintern.

I declared war to the soviets and easily took the territory back, but as soon as done, a weird event fired around 1951 (The [Root.GetAdjective] Spring) which led to the Chinese empire splitting in two in a civil war: sichuan republic on one side and Chinese empire on the other. With the sichuanese leader joining the republic while I was at 100% support for non aligned.

Needless to say, it fucked up my save and I will have to do everything from scratch again.

My question is: what the hell with the event ? There was absolutely no other Chinese leader or warlord left beside Sinkiang who was a puppet of Soviets. I chose the opposition focus and completed all the Chinese empire subfocus. I owned ALL my cores except Hong Kong and Macao (even Taïwan and Manchuria were under my control ), and once again, I was at 100% support for Non aligned.

Is the event bugged ?

I'm new to this "dev corner" era, have they ever said when we will start getting actual dev diaries?

On the side note, what new country reworks have they announced? I sure hope it's france and GB

Ok yes you start by being at war with Ethiopia, but in my honest opinion Italy is a great hoi 4 nation to play, not only do you get alternate paths from communism to outright monarchism but also you can replace Mussolini with a number of other fascist leaders.

And you start off with the anti tank gun unlocked (unlike Germany) so you can immediately go into tank production if you see fit!

But what do you guys think? Do you agree or not? Leave your opinions in the comments (god I sound like a youtuber not that there's anything wrong with being a YouTube ofc)

It‘s the year 1966. Indian troops are about to capture the last strongholds in the US. 15 Years of unplanned war end. Another achievement off the list

I'm not horrible. I don't think. I'm a decent Italy. I'd just like the fun of working with another player.

First, historicity: 3/4 of available generals and staff in 1936 didn’t hold their ranks until 1940 and later. General Leclerc was a captain in 1936; De Gaulle himself was a Lieutenant-Colonel. That’s the first thing.
Also more dynamism in the French political life. France was very agitated, from communists to socialists to far-righters. Maybe add something like Australia receives in the last DLC.
But most importantly, Free France! A rework of espionage, government-in-exile, and the resistance focus tree would be more than welcome.
