Much, much better.
Skirmish AI is infinitely better, doesn't stop working halfway through games and puts up a good challenge. Playing full bot games is a perfectly viable option, and I say that as someone that played mostly multiplayer.
Unit AI is much better too, doesn't have the GoH problem of refusing to fire nor the issue with towed units killing it's own occupants because of a bump in the road.
Soldiers automatically vault over obstacles while moving so pathing feels better.
Garrisoning a building automatically places soldiers at windows and other firing spots.
There are a couple flaws. The pathing for long, wheeled vehicles is still wonky, particularly for getting the exact facing you want. Vehicle turrets tend to point to enemies, even distant ones, so they seldom point straight ahead and are often at like a 25 degree angle. Hull machineguns can sometimes be lazy firing at very close targets too but it depends on the vehicle.

My one complaint that's not really an AI issue but feels crappy is that soldiers with both guns and panzerfaust/bazookas take a few seconds to swap weapons and can feel unresponsive.

These two make me absolutely seethe. Missing a golden chance to snipe an enemy tank because mine was trying to acquire a target on the far side of the map and looking 45 degrees off is an absolute killer, and I've been screwed over several times by hull and pintle mgs not shooting at charging infantry, so I have to give individual attack orders while also babysitting the pathing backwards so it doesn't stop and turn.

Now, my knowlege of this time in JP history is pretty slim, but shes from a time period when China still had very strong cultural and political power of the Japanese islands. And with that in mind, most historical texts referring to her are Chinese in origin, and the Japanese barely refer to her at all. So she didnt have long lasting influence that would have people recognize her as a leader of Japanese History. It'd be like if for the US they picked a colonial governor of Virginia or another of the 13 colonies, rather than starting with what we call our Founding Fathers and people from that time.

>>1838956
There was no political Chinese influence in Japan at all during that time. However there are no Japanese records from the time, so she's only mentioned in the chronicles of wei in the part about western barbarians as the the queen of wu, an island people west of China. This was the first time there even was any kind of contact between "Japan" and China. They supposedly did exchange gifts, and she was "granted" the land she already owned thanks to this, but that was more of a ritual matter.

A lot of new medium density. I feel like I kind of rushed it so it's not exactly how I like it but I'll leave that until later when I inevitably need to make some more road infrastructure through a few city blocks.

Has anyone else used any of these new DLL mods they got cooked up? In general they seem to make the game perform better and significantly more stable.

These ones specifically, except the reshade.

I know that it is beginning as a colony of the British but India has 1.4 billion people living there and it is an educated industrial nation not like Africa. Before the British colonialism India was home multiple to great empires and powerful nations like in CK 3 and EU 4 but in HoI 4 they weaken it so much for European bias.

Why is HoI 4 so centered around Germany-UK-USA-USSR? Just because they were the ones who did fight WW 2 in history does not mean that they are the only ones who could have done.

Brazil was given a good focus tree to allow it to be powerful and act with history why does India still have a terrible focus tree which encourages to be a colony? India has proven in reality that it does not need the UK in fact the UK needs India they even have had an Indian prime minister. Nepal was so strong that their soldiers are world famous for being elite special forces.

I think India needs a new reworked focus tree. It should come in a DLC focused on the ignored Asia of Iran, Afghanistan, India, and Myanmar. America could not defeat Afganistan but it still has the default focus tree? But for Sweden there is made a unique focus tree just because the developer is Swedish.

corps are guilds
wormholes are supposed to be nullsec but more dangerous
>>
>>1838867
whatever you do, don't ever even think about mining. it's a noobtrap that makes people stop playing.
go join a faction warfare corp and get into some lowsec fight clubs. faction warfare is a structured pvp game mode where players fight for the NPC empires instead of player-run alliances. it's also pretty good for making isk to continue funding pvp.
don't get too attached to your one best spaceship; it's going to blow up sooner rather than later

I've been stuck in a permament war with HRE for the past 50~60 turns and it's been painful because I literally can't develop most provinces while juggling retraining units. Did I progress too slow or did I just get too unlucky with a blood thirsty westward HRE? Lost Dijon despite my stack being nearly right next to it, little QoL we take for granted in later games makes playing losing things I could've won a little frustrating at times. It's somewhat brutal going from Attila to this.

You could sneak to their eastern side with a half stack containing a trebuchet or cannon and sack some of their undefended cities. That's typically how you rek a large faction since M2 AI often leaves cities undefended. You'll get lots of money and take away their recruitment ability.
