You also inexplicably get a pretty strong boost to nuclear research :v

This is my frontline in 1942. In late 43 I pushed back, retook all of poland, retook most of the baltic states, and am about to take moscow.
Axis AI needs some serious boosts. It doesn't help that they stack 150 divisions in Denmark just to basically waste all that manpower trying to cross the strait into Sweden and end up bleeding their manpower to nothing against 20 Swedish divisions. Or send 50 divisions to attrition to death in central Africa. Or never build their airforce, ending up with an air superiority score imbalance of 92 vs 5300 a month after the Soviets join the war. And this was in a game started in 1939 to reduce player advantage.

I had a game where the Germans kept trying to force themselves through the Maginot line for 6 months until they finally woke the fuck up and attacked from Belgium

Don't forget the joint German-spanish invasion of Africa that happened for... Some reason?
If Mexico and the Central American countries join the Allies, and the Axis are winning in Europe, say good bye to America, especially if the Axis have allies in South America.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;50570550]This might be a HOI4 mod to your eye on

Can somebody give those of us without the game a rundown of what this is? We're not privy to accessing HOI4's modding forum on Paradox. Completely forgot about this being a thing with them.
Just shat out a mod some of you might like called [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=710836012"]Improved Conquest Flavor[/URL]
It basically adds new events for various cities being conquered, here's an example:

The Fall of London (USA, France, Poland, Japan, Spain)
The Fall of Berlin (Japan, Spain, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Italy)
Interesting country choices :v:
I wanted to hit up most of the majors and countries likely to be at war with them. Berlin and London already had events for Soviets, Germans, etc.
I will be adding, of course, the strongest country I forgot in the next update. Glorious Thunderdragon Bhutan shall see her rightful glory.
But yeah I just sort of threw in some countries I could see doing it so far. If you have any suggestions for more, feel free.
Here is a mod that tries to improve the peace conference AI

Is there an effective guide to division building and are making modifications/new versions of current equipment such as tanks and ships actually worth it?
I'm pretty piss poor when it comes to production too despite being an American powerhouse with 130 factories pumping out tons of shit it still takes ages to equip divisions with even M4 Shermans. I don't know how many a day I really should be pumping out, but I think that 3-6 isn't really enough.
Did lend-lease over 5000 Stuarts to my British player online though, making bank is good shit.
oh yeah there is a HOI4 beta patch out

Theres flavor text for nuking pretty much every major city in Japan

can someone say saturation nuclear bombardment?

Haha what, Bhutan? Of all the countries they selected to have events, they got Bhutan.
Behold the glorious Finland.

Is... that Iranian Japan? And Greece took most of Poland? And Yugoslavia annexed Italy?
So I finished my Ethiopian WC yesterday. Could've done it 20 years quicker in hindsight. Done with ironman on of course, regular difficulty.

I don't know why, but your main army being called "THE Army" fucking killed me.

Hahaaha just came in to say the same
Plus, look at the portrait of his general. Damn it. A boy overran Keitel and Zhukov.

I completely missed this post, I didn't realize you were the one who made the mod.
[QUOTE=Teddybeer;50603717]Put [URL="https://github.com/Xoin/1857"]1857[/URL] on github. Going to work on getting all generic stuff first and then just pick some random country to work on and move to the next. Dunno what to do with units and equipment for now but I will have my damn military ballooning combat.
1.1.0 removes Holstein from the game.

Any plans yet on how you'll handle the smaller army sizes? What are divisions gonna be replaced with?
Ugh, my Britain game was absolutely fucking ruined because of the Soviets in the peace deal.
I did 79% of the fighting in the entire war (thanks Italy that you formed your own faction and sat out of this), but then the Soviets step in when I literally have 50% of Japan conquered in the land invasion.
Thus, during the peace deal, USSR gets to puppet Peru, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Japan, Romania, Hungary, and eat 95% of Germany while forcing them to give up Austria+Czechoslovakia and conquering Slovakia.
I got fucking piss-all out of this deal and I suffered 998k casualties while the Soviets had a measly 8k. This game is fucking horse shit at times.
However one of my battleships killed both the Kongo and the Yamato :vs:

Protip for everyone:
Carriers are great and all but Battleships are what gets the job done. If you don't have enough screens, a Battleship can wipe out your Carrier group quite easily
I don't feel really any motivation to play HoI IV until KR comes out for it. Everybody is making it really seem like it's just a blob simulator set in the 30s-40s.
