Paradox Interactive Thread: V3 'Check out my sick Germany blob' - Games

Finally starting to get a hold of this game, I'm still mindfucked by the industry and trade part but like with euiv I just gotta learn one step at a time.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;50487368][img]https://files.catbox.moe/o5di8g.png[/img] [img]https://files.catbox.moe/0nezqr.png[/img] okay[/QUOTE] Are stacking penalties a thing in 4? If so that might explain some of it.

If you've got 80 divisions in a single province, they'll bottleneck. Spreading your men out and attacking from multiple directions into the same province is more efficient. Keep your eye on battle width, though. You get heavy penalties for going over the battle width. [editline]10th June 2016[/editline] PS: Number of divisions means nothing. I can have a division that comprises of just 1 battalion of infantry, and my enemy could have 1 division that's fully outfitted with infantry battalions.

New beta is out: [QUOTE][B]Stability & Performance[/B] - Fixed several rare CTDs. - Late-game performance optimizations. - Large peace conference resolutions are now faster and also properly indicate that they are active to non-participants. - Added GUI scaling option for people with very small or very high resolutin displays (experimental). - Added a max framerate limiting system (defaults to 75fps) to help people with the combination of bad cooling, great graphics cards and very high screen refresh. If you are one of these with heat issues I would love to hear if this solved it (changing max_fram_rate in settings can let you remove its effect by making it higher, or go lower if you still have issues) [B]Gameplay[/B] - Fixed an issue with deploying troops during spanish civil war when continuing savegames. - Can now zoom in and out using PgUp and PgDown buttons on keyboard. - Stopped an exploit where player could redirect a naval transfer into an invasion without preparation. - Fixed a case where fleets who found themselves outside base range would be instantly deleted. - Fixed some highlighting issues in tutorial. [B]Content[/B] - Added 8 new unique nation leader portraits. - Improved some VP/state names in China. - Improved a lot of alternate ideology nation names and party/leader names. - France can now send volunteers to Spain if they choose the Support Nationalists focus. - Fixed many localization issues, both in english and other languages.[/QUOTE] And the new names: [QUOTE]Co-operative of Belgium Deutschsozialen Austria Austrian Soviet Republic Iron Wolf Lithuania Empire of the Thunder Cross Italian Union Radikalna Yugoslavia Socialist Republic of Albania Soviet State of Norway Danish Civil Union Socialist Republic of Bulgaria Maximalist Portugal Greater Finland Resurrectionist Ireland New Afghan Khanate Argentine League Argentina Populares Bolivia Izquerdista Unitary Canada Canada Popular State Vanguard Chile Atacama-Patagonian Free State Nueva Gran Colombia Nueva Constitución Reino de la Costa Costa Del Pueblo Ecuadorian Authority Galapagos Regime Equatorial Socialist Republic Teocracia de El Salvador Guatemalan Corporate State Union Guatemala Corporatist Honduras Atlas Honduras Honduran Commonwealth Al-Muthanna Iraq Iraqi People's State Japanese People's Republic Synarchist Mexico Communist State of Nepal Liberal Nationalist Nicaragua Republic of Nicaragua International Nicaragua Patriotic Communal Panama Costas Hermanas Free Panama Commune Febrerista Paraguay Iranian Communist Authority Ganap Philippines Independent Philippines Huk Community of the Philippines Peruvian Independent Stat Unitary South Africa Republic of the Arabian Assembly Dictatorial Sinkiang State of Sinkiang Bolivarian Venezuela Leftist International Venezuela Yunnan Free Empire Soviet State of Yunnan Centralist Australia [B]Emu Empire[/B] Nova Zeelandia Republic New Constitutional Uruguay Colegiado Uruguay Socialist Republic of Uruguay Falangist Cuba Anarcho-republic of Cuba Haiti Socialist Republic Federation of South Arabia Yemen Arab Republic Soviet State of Yemen Free State of Slovakia Reorganized Liberian Free State Independent Liberia Liberian Commune Free India Indian People's Republic Independent State of Croatia Third Guangxi Clique Guangxi Independent Republic Socialist Republic of the Zhu Jiang Shanxi Yan State Soviet State of Shanxi Xibei San Ma Free State Hui Republic Republic of Mengjiang Mengjiang People's Mengjiang Independent Korean Governorate Joseon Empire Fourth Reich Israel has been added with the following names; Israel Soviet State of Israel Israeli Totalitariat Free State of Jerusalem[/QUOTE]

Is it possible to paradrop from within allied territory? nothing in the game says otherwise, but when I try months go by with no changes.

God damn it, Soviet Union! You were meant to help me, not completely take over the war and then [b][u][i]turn the damn place I needed into a puppet state!!![/i][/u][/b] Basically got rid of all my awesome resources, and the potential for new factories. I kinda goofed up, I shouldn't have called the SU in to help. [img]http://i.imgur.com/k0lI1XP.jpg[/img] Before the war really got underway. All those units marching through Finland is a metric fucktonne of Russian bastards. I had things under wraps most of the time, but the Soviet backup was pleasant, they kept the holes in my frontline covered up. The Swedish were tough in some spots, but most of the time I could handle them. Soviet Union sent a shit tonne of units to help out, they stuck around for 3 months. They then all mass-retreated so I figured that was the end of their help. 2 months down the line, I realise they sent a massive naval invasion force to capture Stockholm. It was really fucking badass slowly seeing the Finnish and the Soviet front lines close in on each other, with the Swedish bastards trapped between. Hard lesson learned, don't invite allies into a war if it means they'll get most of the damn participation points. What's a future tactic for me to fight Sweden again and keep it for myself? Only way I see is by leaving the faction (which is a death sentence) and then justifying another war goal against them.

I guess I found a bug. If you can't paradrop with your paratroopers, try saving and then loading. [editline]9th June 2016[/editline] Nevermind, they're still stuck preparing to paradrop and then never do.

[QUOTE=TheBloodyNine;50487681]New beta is out: And the new names:[/QUOTE] Wow that is a lot of new names. Also they added Israel if you didn't notice there at the bottom.

i did it mom [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/260461180139419453/D28951E98654E6713DD9A201C606037E1463702D/[/t] canada is now a proper territory :') ofc this was with cheats as I learn the mechanics and such, but still - I'm proud of my Communist States of America.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50488005]Wow that is a lot of new names. Also they added Israel if you didn't notice there at the bottom.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I find it curious there's so few nations though. Figured they'd add more. Maybe next patch.

[QUOTE=Mallow234;50489219]You're expecting italians to be competent[/QUOTE] I read somewhere that even at point-blank ranges most Italian tanks couldn't penetrate the armor of most British tanks.(of course that's probably a large number of Italian "tanks" were armed only with machine guns). The Italians were woefully prepared for war. Hell wasn't there one battle were a extremely small French force held up against an entire Italian Army for days and only surrendered because they heard the Germans were coming? In fact there's a Polandball comic: [T]http://i.imgur.com/f26uFXV.png[/T] Hell the Italians couldn't even defeat Greece without German help and the Greeks didn't even have tanks until they captured Italian ones. Italy did have a relatively impressive navy though, although the British were quick to blow most of out of the water at Taranto and I've heard that their Air force was somewhat respectable.

Im crashing to desktop so much.

So any eu lads fancy doing an mp match as the axis? I'm still figuring new things out and it'll be fun to turn the world fascist [editline]10th June 2016[/editline] What hte fuck [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hjbNb3z.png[/IMG]

So what do you want for DLC? I want an expanded, more detailed equipment system with individual weapons.

I'm disappointed, I thought Collectivist (50% slave tolerance) + Xenophobe (50% alien slave tolerance) would make 100% alien slave tolerance, but I guess not.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;50490587]What type of doc? Cosmetic or really content. Cosmetic some decent Dutch stuff and tons of events for it. And generally more politics so after the great war you and in proxy wars or what not against another supper power while trying to avoid or just start a world war.[/QUOTE] Right now, I prefer focus on features since we got lots of pre-order and edition cosmetic dlcs.

How long does it typically take for the first expansion? Stellaris needs one, hopefully expanding politics/diplomacy.

In fact there's a Polandball comic: [/QUOTE] I remember reading somewhere that in 1939 Hitler sent a message to Mussolini that was basically "Yo I'm about to invade Poland, are you ready for this?" and Mussolini's response was something to the effect of "Wait no, I still to to finish industrializing my country" and then Hitler invaded Poland anyway. So the overall incompetence of the Italian army may be because the nation's focus was on Industrializing rather than improving the army. Here's a joke: How many gears does an Italian tank have? Answer:[sp]five, one forward, and four in reverse[/sp]

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;50490836]All three in the axis just did whatever with zero cooperation.[/QUOTE] Like that time Japan attacked Nationalist China after Hitler specifically told them not to because he wanted China as an ally.

In hindsight China in the Axis would have been an absolute nightmare for the Soviets. May have changed the outcome of the war.

It seems like Great Powers are overly aggressive. I'm being warred at by the Soviet Union and the UK as Iran. I beat out Iraq in a defensive war, but that was it. I didn't even raise the World Tension at all.

Might be a railroaded event, UK and Soviets invaded Iran to secure their oil fields in WW2.

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;50491758]Might be a railroaded event, UK and Soviets invaded Iran to secure their oil fields in WW2.[/QUOTE] Some mods represent this pretty well. If I remember correctly, HPM would have it so Iran can refuse the invasion and properly join the Axis rather than basically rolling over and taking it in the ass.

Yeah, I just wish that there was an event maybe warning me of this eventuality. In any case, nobody will win because i have 13 divisions on Tehran and it's become almost impossible for the Soviets to touch me. I keep growing and they keep throwing more men at me.

how can I leave a faction?

Fuck off Britain and France. Stop guaranteeing the independence of nations I keep justifying war goals against. I'm playing as Sweden and I completely obliterated Denmark. Then I went to justify against Norway and BAM France is all "You better not, monsieur", so I said fuck it, and went and justified a war goal against Estonia or something (I can't remember the country) and Britain pipes up with "Mayhaps you shouldn't, old chap". So now I dunno who to fight. I'm probably gonna hang back until Germany goes apeshit and then declare war on Norway whilst France is being zerg rushed.
