[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;41052024][thumb]http://imgkk.com/i/mooo.png[/thumb][/QUOTE] That gets me everytime. There needs to be a 'comet sighted' in every Paradox game.

[QUOTE=Blockhead;41052233]How is Hearts of Iron 3 compared to CK2?

Somebody take a picture of STAVKA's command branch for a better comparison. The network basically coversball of Russia.

Personally I like going full Hitler when it comes to micromanaging. I cannot trust the AI with my life.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;41063860]what's the fun in a game that plays itself?[/QUOTE] I was only saying that it could be useful for beginners to put parts of the game on AI control in order to make it a little bit less overwhelming. I don't use it myself and I'm sorry if I worded what I said poorly.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;41063860]what's the fun in a game that plays itself?[/QUOTE] Seeing terrible decisions made by other AI players, causing a non-historical fuck-up.

[QUOTE=gufu;41064148]Seeing terrible decisions made by other AI players, causing a non-historical fuck-up.[/QUOTE] Also, Ai can't fucking Naval at all.

I tried letting the AI command a front once. Never again. They stacked every goddamn brigade in one tile on the coast because it was planning on doing a naval invasion I guess. The ships never came, the front collapsed haha

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;41064224]Also, Ai can't fucking Naval at all.[/QUOTE]Or use the airforce properly. Good lord, it scatters it everywhere and does nothing with them at all.

Reinstalling EU3 because I need a GS that isn't CK2, any highly recommended mods?

[QUOTE=kamikaze470;41064301]Or use the airforce properly.

I've been playing Hearts of Iron 3 for the last months and just now I found out about the Strategic Redeployment and Support Attack functions. God. Fucking. Damn. IT.

Hah, paradox is awesome. I was watching their live stream today, and the highlight reel at the beginning had Angry Joe in a few scenes. And then during the actual stream, one of them said "Its something I like to call Sequelitis", and someone responds with "You stole that from Egoraptor" "No I didn't" Paraphrasing, but you get the gist.

[QUOTE=Paravin;41084704]I've been playing Hearts of Iron 3 for the last months and just now I found out about the Strategic Redeployment and Support Attack functions. God. Fucking. Damn. IT.[/QUOTE] keep in mind strategic redeployment can be useless in certain areas of the world. in areas of china, for example, a hq might get 3kph speed while doing strategic redeployment since the infrastructure is so terrible.

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;41074430]HOI3 ai transports have infinite range.[/QUOTE] Doesn't every Paradox AI transport/ship have infinite travel range? I'm certain I've seen boats go way past their operating range in EU3.

anyone want to do a big ck2 game?

[QUOTE=croguy;41085570]Doesn't every Paradox AI transport/ship have infinite travel range? I'm certain I've seen boats go way past their operating range in EU3.[/QUOTE]In EU3's case that's colonial range. Any country regardless of ai or not can bypass it, although the attrition modifier from being out of supply range is another question. Historically there was some voyages that made it from one ocean to the other ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Magellan]again, attrition is another story[/url]) so I guess in EU3's case it would be normal to see out-of-range operations. [editline]18th June 2013[/editline] Heck, if you want to be real technical, navies by HOI3 were so sophisticated that they could stay at sea for months at a time. In game terms this could mean it would be plausible for US to invade German-France straight from the US, just like they love to do most of the time.

What mod is that?

How did you get the FRG to form?

[QUOTE=Paul McCartney;41089595]What mod is that?[/QUOTE]He mentioned August Storm a few pages back. Probably the same mod here as well.
