Negatives

> Total lack of flavor events and decisions
> Shallow supply mechanics
> Horrible graphics that are also hardware intensive
> Naval invasion/paratrooper mechanics are clash of clans tier
> No portrait diversity
> Defensive theory/units are OP
> AI is horrible with the exception of naval invasions,
> Can't target specific provinces in aerial raids/bombardments
> No province names, this plus the shitty graphics makes the world seem tiny and lifeless
> Lack of Ledgers and Map modes
> Peace conference system while a very good idea has been poorly implemented
> Border gore that rivals EU III due to the AI being able to march anywhere on the map with no repercussions and the shitty Peace conference system
> Peace is impossible to obtain due to you having to force every nation you're at war with to capitulate
> Battlefront AI is horrible at combat
> You lose massive bonuses for not using plans and manually commanding your troops
> Every nation in the game starts out with the same level of tech (like seriously what the fuck)

Positives
> Revamped, easy to use, meaningful production system
> Much improved tech tree
> Improved nuke/rocket mechanics
> Clear concise UI despite the shitty graphics
> Manpower mechanics are significantly improved
> Aerial superiority now makes a fairly large difference in land battles
> Battlefront AI is fairly useful, removing a lot of tedious micro management

simpsons meme

shitposter groups use it because they post simpson porn
HOY4 negatives:
>tablet game
>shit
>britain is in the pacific ocean
>oy vey
postives
>HOY HOY HOY HOY BUY IT GOY

I think it originates from /pol/ shitposts, where someone would post some sort of bait (often in the form of a liberal tweet or article that denounces /pol/'s commonly held views) and say "really makes you think"
From there it became a meme

>not conquering outright before tension hits 25

Asked in the last thread -

In HOI4, is there a way to see your ally's logistics screen? I have shit tons of last-gen equipment that would be better served in some of the minor nation allies we have, but I can't figure out how to find out what they actually need. I've got 105,000 units of Infantry weapons 2 to hand out.

someone hoi4-ify this

>you can't add a wargoal without a CB for infamy in the latest version of HPM
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS YOU FUCKING

I'VE ALMOST HAD ABOUT ENOUGH OF GRANDI STRATEGY ALEXANDROS!

Franco-Iberian union or French " insert word for group of political entities "

based Eesti

So how is Nationalist India achieved?

I got fascist party support to nearly 100 and I never got a coup.

Please respond.

Who's that bald man?

>will be fixed by mods and DLCs
does not excuse it

>decide to try ahistorical mode as USA to see what fuckery the AI will do
>Japan rapes China in a little over a year
>Germany goes historical, attacks Poland with USSR
>Britain and France never invite Poland to allies, they stay out of war.
>spring of 40, Japan and Germany attack USSR.

This is gonna be fun.

If you honestly can't figure this out you're a fucking idiot. That being said, you have your troops on a front line and they have some sort of objective and the AI is in control of them

LITTLE BRO
HOW YA DOIN
>will be fixed by mods and DLCs
How about this - movie is shit but you should watch it because they fill fix EVERYTHING in directors cut and fan edits

Their hearts definitely weren't the only things they opened up to 143 strangers.
Arumba, he has lukemia like Johan.

What now? Is it even possible to beat the US as Canada?

So I finish the USSR off in my first Germany game only to find I don't have enough warscore to take up to the urals like the Germans historically wanted. I think that is the perfect ending to this game, classic paradox.

Is HPM here? I'm having a problem with a decision

>beating USSR as Poland
No user, ai is just too damn good.

this is making me nostalgic, it reminds me of the old chinese spam bots

it is quite easy

reddit leave

reddit.com/r/paradoxplaza/comments/4nnt4e/the_us_isnt_great_in_a_ground_war/
Reddit did it, why can't you?

place bets (its mp)

As in a ingame decision or some important decision in your life?

>reddit
Paradox shill detected
Real /gsg/-ers know that Reddit sucks Johan dick 24/7
I suggest you claim it was written by a nazi instead.

I really like the production system, I think it's fantastic, but my god there are too many things to list that suck.
>click and drag followed by a right click, followed by a right-click and drag = you beat the game!

it's fucking HOI4 man. Everything is possible

nice reading comprehension mongoloid

hoi4 difficulty increase when

It will be all fixed by DLC

Game is great as it is

There is literally nothing wrong with being Jewish or Muslim

for you big goy

>start game
>pick generals with lots of cool medals

What is the name of this game it looks fun

WW2 mod for Stellaris

>load up HPMeme latest
>attack country for cores
>try to add a take state goal
>can't
>oy vey

Does HPM force party loyalty or something because all my states got 90 conservative party loyalty for no reason.

HOY4; Good Goy Edition

Buy it now from gaben for only $99.99 goy!

Those two can't be 47, they look like they're in their late 20s.

>he doesn't play poker games with peace conferences

If you don't like railroads don't play HPMeme.

Fucking /v/edditor newshits trying to fit in again.

So what was the HOI4 sign-up secret DLC?

Have we been lied to?

can someone please just explain the peace conference shit to me

what were they thinking, I just want to understand the logic

>posts people instead of the paper

t. bobbit

>believing Churchill's propaganda

Hello Anglo

I tried to bring back Georgiamod but fucked it up

As far as I know it isn't a broken decision in Georgiamod

Who's the real report and ignore autist here?

both

Yeah, a few countries start with set party loyalty

Report and ignore autist is an idea, not a person

Uruguay and the UK are the only ones to have this meme IIRC

Somalian flag for Sweden.
>percentage agreement is propaganda
Yup, nothing helps the war effort like showing the world you fucked over your allies.

>yugo slavia

triggered

Extended timeline for HoI4 when? I wanna play the Vicky start-modern time

churchill looks like a giant inbred baby

how the fuck do I get my soldiers on transports

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

Is there any reason not to put 1 medium armor brigade in your standard infantry division? Seems like the huge armor boost destroys the enemy unless they have AT in every single infantry division.

>HoI4 has a Swastika Detector.
My Reichskriegsflagge mod tells me you're full of shit

>british royalty
>empire man

he doesn't just *look* like a giant inbred baby

Moscow fell to German AI lads, Russkies BTFO

>looks like

Good lord, it's too early to go bonker with bunkers

was he ok

Mod pic or bust Johan

hoi4 dlc when, I can't wait to buy it

Is it really that op? I kinda still play like Hoi2/3, fast tank units that encircle enemy units.

>capitalists
>supporting socialism
i'm tired of this. does hpm or pdm fix pop's loyalties?

Kinda
He sprained an ankle

How do I organize muh navy?

I was thinking 1 CL 4 DD my basic flotilla for convoy raiding, then use that formation in a modular format for screening of larger capital ships (ie 1 CA 4 CL 16 DD or 1 CA and 4 screening flotillas)

Should I get buttships? Buttcruisers?
What can you tell me about heavy buttships? Are they worth researching or are they a >MUH NAVY embellishment?

How should I use carriers?

I never did much in previous HoIs ;_;

do you need any infantry or is it just artillery?

>he doesn't support socialism between his cement meals

In HPM jews always support communism or socialism even if they're capitalists.

It's called HISTORICAL project mod lad, and it tries to be accurate :^)

yeah i think so

It's not OP in itself, it's just that the AI rarely fields armored or AT units

Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.

anyone know the best states to choose when supporting a coup? I would assume it's best to pick one with high manpower and military factories, but who knows if those actually matter
