Rice. How can you sellect a country that is not on the list in the custom start?
The list? When I started I had to click on a country on the map.
A Facepunch Hamachi HoI3 whatsit would be amazing.

Hamachi doesn't work all that well over 2-3 players in HOI2, so I'm not sure how big it could get on that.
I really need to get this game, i still play the first one.
By the way for anybody that wants to know if I'm delegating anything to the AI. I'm delegating nothing. I like to take control over every small little aspect. Of course this means I have micromanage hell to deal with, and updates take longer, but I much prefer to play the game rather than have the AI play it for me. With no further ado!
[B]Slavs throwing punches at innocent grandmas[/B]
You asked for it, I complied, to war with Albania! We will teach the MUSLIMS the true meaning of [B]slav[/B]ery.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-1.jpg[/img]
Albania is small country, filled only with those who own cows, those who milk cows, and those who fuck cows. So is not hard to make them surrender, we must merely crush their capital underfoot. Of course any competent slav will tell you that attacking from 4 direction is better than one.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-2.jpg[/img]
They act like another nation that will remain unnamed, as soon as we enter capital, muslim surrender! We lose on man though, he try have sex with albanian woman and it turned out to be a man. He hang himself, is no problem.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-3.jpg[/img]
Of course they surrender, I choose to take their lands for myself rather than set up a puppet. I want to extend my border with the fat gyro eating ones, then my superior numbers will come into play.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-4.jpg[/img]
See? Also we get very nice airfield and shipyard, this is very very good. In the meantime intelligence tell us that the glorious nationalists beat the republicans in spain! Today is a good day.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-5.jpg[/img]
Of coruse we are not fool in this land, man alone cannot defeat our enemies. We must make the big loud metal things to beat them too. It take time but I think is definitely worth it.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-6.jpg[/img]
So maybe crushing the muslim has a slight drawback. Our glorious empire is now seen as a threat (and rightly so), but this make people less want to join our faction. We will likely see most people go and be friendly friendly with the allies.
However DIPLOMATIC MIGHT may also fix this, the german do not understand diplomacy, so it is down to us, we will try to get japan on our side.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-7.jpg[/img]
Dogs! the ones who get beaten by muslims have found big friends! We will not attack them... yet.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-8.jpg[/img]
Aha! A good day, japan has been accepted into our glorious alliance. Not that I care for the non-slav, but they may serve as a distraction for the russians in time. Let's see how they're getting on in China
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-9.jpg[/img]
Well they certainly don't do well, the nationalist part of china has pushed them out of the mainland, and the communist part has chased through their territory. Now they are almost forced out of the land of the dog eaters as well. Luckily just because they are friends does not mean we have to fight their wars. What else can be expect from non-slav?
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-10.jpg[/img]
it is obvious now, our neighbours are attempting to make anti-slav alliance out of fear. This only leaves us with Hungary and Romania who we can conquer for land.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-11.jpg[/img]
We must move quickly! before even the gypsies become part of this alliance we must take their land for ourselves. To avoid being strangulated. We send them a declaration of war, it was a donkey with explosives strapped to it.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-12.jpg[/img]
A preliminary battle suggests to me that perhaps the entire line is made up of reserves who have not yet being mobilized. This is our chance.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-13.jpg[/img]
Usually I hate such linear attack plans as this, however. The entire line is undermanned by far, this is my chance to deal a good blow, and bypass an entire line of defences. This chance will not be wasted, the mighty slav warriors dominate each battle.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-14.jpg[/img]
As I win the first battle of the war convincingly, the treacherous turk suggests an alliance. Usually I would spit at such a suggestion, and kill the messenger. However, the situation being as it is, they could be a good distraction when fighting greece, or the russians. I accept.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-15.jpg[/img]
Attacking while they were weakened pays off, the gypsies suffer very large losses. Some slavs get lost in the woods and mountains, but i dont think any of them actually died.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-16.jpg[/img]
For them to surrender I must hold the important gypsy provinces highlighted in green. Holding the two that are circled should be enough to make them surrender. Fighting in their territory will tire it's citizens of the war, and taking the capital itself will be a huge blow. Nevertheless, i rely not only on that, I will head for the top one as well.
However, I will not advance in the center, those are mountainous regions, and the romanians have had a chance to reinforce. It will not be worth the losses, they will stay put unless an opening appears.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-17.jpg[/img]
The progress of the grand slav armies is shown. The gypsies fought better than I assumed though, they even have numerican superiority though. However, slav armies take longer to create, as they get superior training, tactical decisions and technological superiority should still win us the war. We'd have equal numbers, but I refuse to leave the greece border undefended while I'm still being seen as the "bad guy".
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-18.jpg[/img]
In other news, thanks to my exploits threatining everyone away from the Axis, and the russians being unfriendly, the allies have been having something of a shopping trip. They have an impressive alliance, that may even rival mighty yugoslavia! Maybe.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-19.jpg[/img]
Bucharest falls to slavic arms! Now we must take the province to the north before the gypsies ship reinforcements south to our position.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-20.jpg[/img]
Now we have the other important province! Here's a final update about how the war looked.
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-21.jpg[/img]
Of course the cowardly gypsy surrenders after I cut off it's head. There will be nobody but slav in the balkans! Annex them!
[img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/AAR2-22.jpg[/img]
ALL PRAISE THE GLORIOUS SLAV EMPIRE.
This little excursion was very, [B]very[/B] profitable for our great nation. We have effectively doubled our industrial capacity, and doubled our manpower. Great things await the slavs, but I fear it may not go our way for long.
(this took me an hour to write goddamn)
Hurrah, I see my dear Republic of Finland has joined the winning side.

Ha, I am loving this. Loved the last one you did, and I'm going to check up on this one now.
this thread is epic

Is it because of how slow the damn game is? :v:
[QUOTE=Conscript;16585645]Is it because of how slow the damn game is? :v:[/QUOTE]
My game speed isn't too bad, 5 second per day in peace time. More in war time but seeing as I'm warring it doesn't matter.

You can't change the speed manually like in the other games?
You can, I'm talking about at the fastest speed.
One of the issues that HoI3 has at the moment is performance for most people, days can end up going quite slowly.
Aaaaa, ok.

Yes it does I've used it a lot for HOI3 MP
I can't see the pictures :(

They might not win. Hell Germany could invade America in 1938

I know, what I meant with 'winning side' is that they have more nations.
I might work my way up through Poland and attack Finland.
Just cause.
This thread delivers, I want more
Nicely done KillerTV, interesting victory on Romania. I'd be wary of your Romanian border though as the Russians border you and there's an event in HoI2 where you give 2 border provinces to USSR, KEEP THAT BORDER!

:what:
That's an event for romania, and it's 3 provinces.
This is a little bit off-topic, but how is the new command system? on the paradox forums i have seen people complain about it, does it get in the way much, or is it alright?
[QUOTE=scout1;16587221]:what:

Yes but he's taken Romania and if a giant like SU borders you, it's not a good thing.

I, personally don't like it.
Then again, I don't use theatre AI. Apparently if you want to let your AI take care of a theatre it's a godsend. For me who does everything manually it's extra hassle and micromanagement with the HQs.
I fucking love Hearts of Iron 2 and 3.
HoI2 and the HoI3 demo confuses the fuck out of me and my simple EU3 mind. Interesting read, any tips on how to get started as a weak nation?

If HOI2 Confuses you, start out as a larger nation to get the basics, i recommend playing as the USSR, it is a great starter country, becuase of the large IC, the manpower, and you have untill 1941, so you can make a lot of mistakes, and have time to learn the basics.
I can not say anything about HOI3 though, sorry.
[QUOTE=Dan The Man;16587895]Yes but he's taken Romania and if a giant like SU borders you, it's not a good thing.[/QUOTE]
He's allied to germany and there was no reason to bring up the romanian event, what's your point?
