I really need to stop delaying playing this again.
Although I also want to play HOI3 too.

Barrad is boring.

>>43277301
How so?

>>43277134
I'm playing Vicky 3 more than Hoi4, pony mod for vic 3 when

>>43277643
Sadly, there's only a Vicky 2 one in development.

>>43277329
It's too much of a visual novel. The tag has very little infrastructure and industry and it has massive debuffs to construction and research speed. The unique technologies only provide minor buffs and take far too long to research. The end focus trees are also boring, especially since the Riverlands will usually declare war on you by the time that you get to the end focus tree, so the unique content is overshadowed by having to deal with that war while still having severe debuffs. The tag basically only exists as an adversary for its neighbours.

Kill all bats and bugs.

>>43277652
It has cool stuff tho.

Some bugs are OK, but is there a single bat that isn't evil?

Yes, there are plenty bats that are harmonic.

OK, the bats aren't all bad, just most of them.

Who is this? Either I haven't seen him before or I forgot about him.

>>43279395
He is a general in Greneclyf
>>43279331
>>43279336
Both are OCs of my friends, we had quite a lot of fun back in the day before the server got infested by tourists and normalfags.

>>43279526
How do you get him? I haven't played Greneclyf in a while.

>>43279538
He is right there as general, you dont need to do anything

Still making great progress on 0.5 for BITN submod. Does anyone have ideas for names for solar puppet states? I want the primary regions to be for Herzland, Aquellia, the frontier (thats longsword and hellquil), Riverfed, and the coast area of Barrad, Kaza, and Austarland. Anything else will be given to Newmareland, and a optional war goal if they refused to join the empire where the plyer returns them to Solar Empire as a puppet.

the names I had came up for so far are kinda meh, so if anyone has anything better than Ve-Day-na or Sunlight Hills I'll still take suggestions on those too.

The Equestria rework will apparently have a mental health mechanic for Celestia, Luna, and Twilight. Are there any other tags related to mental health or dealing with a crazy ruler? I already played Abyssinia and Katerin.

>>43280093
Seriously?

>>43280140
It was in one of the teasers.

I'm gonna have to lower the difficulty down to easiest because even after like 100 hours I haven't not been raped in every war no matter what I do.
The problem with RTS games difficulty unlike other games where the game being hard doesn't usually waste much of your time or wear you down, losing in HOI4 usually involves wasting like 3 hours of your life or even over a dozen or more, which destroys the enjoyment.
I'm done, Game Journalist difficulty it is.

>>43280432
welcome to actually being able to enjoy hoi4 and not needing to make the meta division every time difficulty, enjoy your stay.

>>43280432
Nothing wrong with that.

>>43280440
What do you do with factories late game? I usually use my civs to spam infrastructure, railways, airfields, radar, anti-air, and so on, while I use my mils to convert all of my captured equipment to the latest equipment.

HoI4 AI is literally retarded if you cant come up with some decent divisions after 100 hours and realize what to build and research then I can only call you retarded and you would never survive HOI3 even on the easiest difficulty.

>>43280747
HOI4 is a map, timers, and RNG. You can be skilled enough to beat the game even on the hardest difficulty and still find the easiest difficulty more fun.

>>43281034
>map
What? Every game has a map.
>RNG
Most of these can be cheesed by improving releations and using spies, and savescumming. There is nothing difficult about it
>timers
What? Waiting for a special project or research to finish? That is not hard at all

>>43281034
>hardest difficulty and still find the easiest difficulty more fun.
I tried playing on civilian or recruit after doing regular for years, and it was unbearable. The AI is so lobotomized and braindead that Equestrian civil war lasted until 1014 and merged with the Great War, and even then Changelings lost somehow

Retard. It isn't difficulty. It's just me talking about how the game is shallow.
>>43281194
Difficulty only has numerical effects. It doesn't affect how retarded the AI is.

>Equestrian civil war lasted until 1014 and merged with the Great War, and even then Changelings lost somehow
I once did that, and it lasted until 1011, so Equestria only had a few weeks to recover from the civil war and deal with the civil war and major war debuffs before the Changelings attacked. The Changelings got stomped because the civil war lets Equestria mobilise faster.

If the game is shallow then why do you need lower difficulty to have fun in it? Curious, isnt it?
>Difficulty only has numerical effects. It doesn't affect how retarded the AI is.
That is very much wrong. Teh civilian and recruit difficulty actively make AI more retarded, because I do play the game and dont need to rely on wiki shttery to prop my point.
>The Changelings got stomped because the civil war lets Equestria mobilise faster.
It was actually NLR that killed them.

>>43281284
>If the game is shallow then why do you need lower difficulty to have fun in it? Curious, isnt it?
Some people enjoy a challenge. Others play to relax. Sometimes people are in a mood for different things. It's still shallow.
>That is very much wrong. Teh civilian and recruit difficulty actively make AI more retarded, because I do play the game and dont need to rely on wiki shttery to prop my point.
I also play the game, retard. The AI is the same unless if you use the EAW custom game settings to add smarter AI. Nothing in the difficulty select screen talks about anything other than the stated buffs and debuffs. In game, the challenge at the higher difficulties is from playing around the buffs and debuffs because you have to adapt to the simple numerical changes.
>It was actually NLR that killed them.
I see. Did you set it to the extreme civil war instead of the normal civil war?

>>43281323
>Some people enjoy a challenge. Others play to relax. Sometimes people are in a mood for different things. It's still shallow.
There is a difference between relaxing and literally beating a mouthbreating retard. I play on regular exactly because I am relaxing. If I wanted a challange I would play on harder difficulties that actually debuff you to hell.
>I also play the game, retard. The AI is the same unless if you use the EAW custom game settings
You clearly dont. It is an empirical fact that civilian and recruit make AI dumber. It is not just number changes. On regular, AI is comparable to an average shlomo mouthbreathing goy. On civilian it is literally non-existent. I ve seen Germany actually backdown to Rheinland remilitarization on civilian. That is how retarded AI is there.
