I have a problem with modern strategies being made for Discord faggots and only for them.

>>2316565
i love this game

What about OTHER GAME?

>>2316585
I like OTHER GAME more than Game. It may be less complex, but I think it strikes a good overall balance between the extremes of autistic tedium and casual, mindless gameplay. Call me a brainlet or w/e for that.

Hoi2? It was fun

I love hoi2 and hoi4 but hoi3 was way too much for me

I like big encirclement numbers

sorry your retarded

>>2319012
game is unplayable if you leave this shit on. You get like 20 popups per day during wartime

WW2 themed pop-up wack-a-mole

>>2319336
i find it's only an issue when the ai is trying to attack you with 0 org units repeatedly

>>2319012
Appreciate the simplicity.
Thought, would it have killed to separate thousand with a comma?

Hoi3 should have become the universal design standard.
Along with its cousin Eu3 it was an attempt to accurately represent historical events on a grand strategic scale. Sure plenty of things sucked, but in general it did a pretty good job for a game designed to run on most home computers.
I fully expected it would lead to future refinements with plenty of fixes and improvements.
Still playing it. Current game is United Kingdom ( with its ally France and all the little bumfuck puppets ) gone wild on a world conquest.

Update on current game.
Well its got a bit boring now. Conquered everywhere except Russia and Germany. Was hoping for Germany to invade Russia and leave me alone. Then I later I would safely nuke them both into surrender. No fuss, no bother, no massive micromanagement. No messy taking those annoying last victory points. Fuck you Astrakhan.
But no, Germany just had to go and spoil it all by declaring war on me. Now I have to fuck around shifting units around.
Also rebel spam gets really irritating when you have conquered most of the world already. That's one thing they could have easily fixed by just requiring an IC and manpower tax to represent the cost of adequately garrisoning a conquered country.

>>2320197
Post screens faggot

>>2320197
Germany is fucked. I had hoped they would run through France, but France has been on a war footing for nearly 3 years while Germany has not. Plus Germany never got Austria because I wiped out Austria before the Anschluss event could fire. So we got France snailing their way into the southern half of Germany while I causally crawl my way towards Berlin.
Yeah, very disappointing.
>>2320197
No. I cant be fucked. Just imagine the world map getting painted pink other than France and all the starting puppets.

>>2320642
Okay so Germany crumpled like wet toilet paper under the mighty onslaught of my armies. I have every worthwhile strategic bonus available.
Bit fucking annoying though the way puppets suddenly pop back into existence once their original masters are fully annexed. Like Manchuria. It messes up the global color scheme.
So now its only me, France, and Russia ( and the unavoidable puppets ) But its still only late 1939 and the civilian nuclear technology is being held back by the ahead of time malus. Still a long way off producing nukes.
>Just invade Russia for fuck's sake
No, I want to nuke them, then just taking Leningrad should be enough to force a surrender. Ezy pezy, no hassle, no fuss, no grinding out the last advances towards distant victory points.

Just saw this thread is over half a year old with less than 20 posts, four of which are mine made in the last few days, lol. I'm out, bye!
Protip to OP, if you want people to engage with your thread at least have something intelligent to say.

>>2319336
You play at 2x or 3x speed nigga, it's manageable

the tech system is a mess but it's simultaneously cool to be able to upgrade every piece of equipment in your military down to a granular level, and they did a lot of research even for minor powers in terms of small arms. still would have been better off using HoI2's nation-dependent tech team system however.

what are your favourite minor/regional powers to play as? for me it's Hungary or Romania as Axis and Canada or Brazil as Allies. If you build like 2 LArm/Cav divisions as Hungary in 1936 you can pretty much singlehandedly conquer the Balkans down to Greece before gearing up for Barbarossa.

>>2316616
yeah bruv i love micromanaging the production of boots and towels in OTHER GAME no retarded tedium there

>>2341715
the practical/theoretical system is fantastic and a blend of practicals and tech teams would have been best

>>2316565
I wish the timeline was a bit longer, starting shortly before the Russo-Japanese war and have it end at the Korean war.

does this game have good mods apart from BICE and the WW1 mod

>>2341722
I find it boring. So none now. They are too limited by their low leadership. Instead I prefer to play a major, beat the crap out of the rest of the world until they nearly surrender, then save and reload as the weakest major. Then I try to stave off defeat and claw my way back to victory.

>>2316565
I would love to revisit this game but it crashes on newer systems. Any fixes?

Axis Poland achieved.
also trying to rush Heavy Tanks

If there was a mod that starts every country at war with every other country, all with the same techs and same leadership points, and with an AI which doesn't waste IC on any infrastructure improvements, garrison units or armored units with no CA bonus, then I would play it.

>>2351479
>Heavy Tanks
Why tho?
You need light arm for speed to overrun and encircle, infantry takes of the rest, urban assaults etc. Heavy tanks are just a waste against an AI that never uses its armor effectively. Too slow, fucking useless on terrain outside plains, and not that much better than a couple of vastly cheaper infantry divisions.
Its like building CAS, by the time they are any good you should already have won, and if not then the available airbases and their short range is too limited anyway. Probably the only use of CAS is if you are larping a German- France WW1 rerun.

>>2351562
I've never used heavys before but I heard they are invincible and I always get my ass kicked by soviets anyway. Im thinking heavy tanks + armored cars for the spearhead... we shall see

This is a game for iron men,
Their hearts made of selfsame stuff,
For those who strategy is one they ken,
For those who are completely tough.
See the map, see the nations,
Which one would you choose to be?
You may choose Britain with elation,
But I will choose Nazi Germany.
I look outside every day,
And see untold degeneracy,
So in this game I will stay,
Making a future that should be,
Where Germany rules an iron hand,
Over Europa, from sea to sea,
Where every great man would look and stand,
And know this is where he'd choose to be.

Honestly not any better than Hoi3 except their mechanics are far more obfuscated and full of pointless details. Arguably even worse than HOI3 becasue everything is rail roaded to the nth degree, whereas with HOI3 you can easily follow different paths. Not that hard either if you dont mind slogging through all busy work. You can get a better challenge and far more interesting games playing HOI3 on very hard settings, playing as a minor, or just implementing specific house rules.

>>2351479
Holy, I forgot by now how amazing the HoI3 map looks. How could they trade this kino for the casual mobile game look of 4

War against the soviets has started and going pretty well. Germans and Italy on their way to help.
Using mainly Heavy Armour + infantry regiment x3, and armoured cars for later encirclement and breakthroughs


Poland starts off with a huge army of infantry regiment x3 so its very viable to rush heavy amor, make lots of HArm brigades and attach them to each infantry division made of regiments

Is it possible to makes mods like TFR in HOI3, superevents and all?
