Nolan Roberts
What?
Adrian Cox
what's the secret of blitzkrieg in HOI4?
Should I make a lot of infantry armies and send them to hold the front, and then other armies that are composed solelly of armor and mobile infantry and send them to break through the line? and lots of CAS?
Dominic Moore
No you need armor, fast armor.
Daniel Sullivan
This.

I usually avoid this general because of the memelords, but why does no one like blobbing?
Is it not historically accurate? Because Imperial Rome was like blob central.
Also, what is preferred opposite of blobbing? having tiny slices of land scattered about the world, none of them connecting to one another(ie, border gore)?
Nathaniel Baker
Reminder to report and ignore shitposting.
Isaiah Morales
>micro
m8 you draw some lines, hit go, and let the game do the work
Justin Williams
A country that hasn't blobbed has taken over land that the country would logically take in such a way that the borders are aesthetically pleasing
Dominic Howard
EU4
Civil war in my neighbor. Do I wait for it to finish and drain their manpower or invade during it so he can't defend?
>Conservative party believe in Interventionism fug
Colton Johnson
Is that peace deal enough ? It seem no one will get back from this for a long time, and all the major powers will become fascist.
Britain has been fascist for a long time already and I as France went fascist 10y ago after a random coup so I went with it for fun.

Is that a free SGF?
Andrew Perry
It's pretty often coming to win the battle fast and with no halt than to move faster with tanks, I think breaking through the lines is more important than closing the encirclement faster
Andrew Howard
is it from a anime
Christian Parker
its a dlc
Christian Gonzalez
Art of War is a book by Sun Tzu(Wu).
it's pretty much "common sense: the book" and "Deceit is the ultimate weapon: the book"

Henry Martinez
Are light tanks better than medium in HOI4?
James Miller
so what do you lads think of hoi4?
Cameron Myers
Light tank is only good for stomping AI with no AT
Evan Reyes
Light tanks move fast. Don't upgrade your light tank divisions. If you need to hit harder, duplicate the template, and make separate medium tank divisions.

In terms of vassalizing Schweden, I'd prioritize Norway over the swedes.
Don't forget about the Slovaks.
Aiden Stewart

Lincoln Lee
Should I remove the eternal DLC maker?
Ayden Watson
Give it to Norway.
Ethan Bailey
its good
Jaxon Taylor
Yeah, I never let Germany form and they were at time allies, at times enemies. There they were with me and the Union of Britain in the Great War against Rus and the NGF.
This is ~1 year after the Great War.
Cooper Smith
>give it to Norwegen Alas, Norwegen is allied with Danemark. It will be a huge naval war.
Carter Watson
So, you're saying that I should vassalize Norway, then go to war with Sweden, and make them gib back Norway clay?
Zachary Collins
>Slovaks Where? Slovakia is preussischer clay.
Jack Nguyen
Should I give it back to Greece?
I got it from my puppet after releasing Albania to take the decision to incorporate them.
Yes. You can use them to make a Scandinavian vassal if you want
William Taylor
how can we make the HOI4 AI produce anti tank shit so they aren't so bad?
someone make a mod NAU
Nolan Gutierrez
Alrighty. I'm cooking up a CB against Norwegen. I'll vassalize them, then immediately begin removing Johan.

Also, how do I encourage soldiers faster?

Mason Young
Get clergy/intellectuals up to 4% in each state. 2% is for max research points, 4% is for max literacy growth. Also make sure you've got good admin. efficiency in each state. If it's really low, POPs won't promote/will only promote slowly. Also research the middle column in culture, at least to Biologism for that sweet, sweet Darwinism +50% education efficiency.
Oliver Morris
pay up education research education get 2% intellectual, up to 4% without literacy, your country gonna stay a shithole forever
>literacy as low as some african nations top niggered
I only feed mine the best in canned heads of wheat, whole fish and whole cattle
John Rogers
I was holding off going to war with czechia for berlin because of their alliance with mainz (the south german gp), but now that the poles are at war with both it's a good time for me to strike also check my bureaucrats
Joseph Ward
In Vicky 2, why does the US insist on sphering every East Asian/Middle Eastern country it can? Is there any way to stop this retardation?
Jonathan Green
conquer them
if they don't exist they can't sphere
Joshua Rodriguez
Where do I look in order to edit who can be cardinals in the Catholic church? i.e. make an orthodox patriarch a cardinal
Jace Sullivan
somebody fucking say something
Nolan Jones
jews did 9/11
Hunter Roberts
answer my question
Christopher Jones
I DONT KNOW
Leo Lopez
America wants dat oil.
Nathan Morales
mainz is going to slip from gp and then I'll do an add to sphere cb and then sphereing the rest of the cunts is easy
Dominic Jenkins
Hey faggots, how long will it take to assassinate someone in CK2 with a plot power of 58%?
Jackson Garcia
A while
Nicholas Williams
maybe this is good enough
Owen Thompson
you know I was doing this to meme around and didn't expect good results but I guess the liquor+bureaucrats strategy indeed does unironically work I'm producing a fuckton of liquor, more than just the pic shows, and it's all very profitable
Robert Martin
Finally the end. Peace did not last long in eastern Europe as newly created states waged war against each other. Fascist Russia fell from from GP and never recovered in 6 years. Britain stopped being fascist. And I went to war after a political outrage against Canada and liberated most French-speaking provinces from their grasp and released Québec as a satellite.
Fun game.
Jacob Turner
forgot pic
Jack Bell
Except you've built things other than liquor factories, so you're not even meming anymore, you're just powergaming.
Yeah no shit building the most profitable factory in the game in every state is a good idea, that's why it's a meme in the first place you dip.
Austin Gutierrez
>Peace did not last long in eastern Europe as newly created states waged war against each other
that's why you should have sphered and puppeted all of them
Luke Baker
I didn't build those, the capitalists did.
maybe you're right though, perhaps I should close them...
James Nelson
Didn't have time in 1.5y (~4y of war cooldown after the end of the Great War in 1930) to puppet anyone in east Europe. I sphered a good portion of them but those allied to Italy, Britain and Sweden started shiting the place up.
Only thing I regret is not having time to dismantle the Ottomans, it's just a disgrace, especially since they were socialists since the end of the previous century.
Nathan Watson
What is the easiest start in ck 2?
Jaxon Wood
any king, emperor or just uninstall.exe
Jace Sullivan
should I make heavy tank divisions, or are they not worth it?
