Moving busses is serious business.
i think its the only modern pdx game with good UI but its stuck in terrible game
Imperator has a good UI too, but it's stuck in a dead game.
It's barebones flavor pack selling bullshit and anyone with a fricking brain realized it the day it released.
Modchads win again.

You will never be a man
Um, actually, anyone who identifies as a man is a man you chud.
We should discuss this over group dilation.
I arbitrarily decided that y'all are women today. Better start shoving tampons down your dick and shaving your legs, or I'll kill you and claim that you claiming to be men spooked me into self-defense.

reupload? im late
Not a wargame, chud!
I'm sick of these bloated, shitty mechanics as they try to justify their obnoxious prices.
anything beyond waking the tiger is trash made to extort pdxcattle from their hard earned money
I can agree with that, although I don't mind the UK tree. Bosporus is where the newer trees became irredeemable. Turkey is such a god damn disaster.
the turkey tree would go from a 2/10 (the extra point is the ottoman tree) to like a 5 if NOT ALL THE FRICKING FOCUSES WERE 70 DAYS LONG FRICKING HELL I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL '40 TO DO SHIT FRICK OFF PARADOX
It's not just the time. The layout is god awful. It's also so bloated with gimmicks and extra mechanics, half of which don't even do anything, its obscene.
>It's also so bloated with gimmicks and extra mechanics, half of which don't even do anything
They add the flavor this game so very lacks
I don't want some shitty flavor election with 10 different outcomes and 4 civil wars that last 10 years I want my world war game to be about fighting fricking world wars
This isn't CK3 you moron. It's supposed to be a fricking war game. Have your alternate history paths, sure, but when you need a fricking guide just to use your fricking focus tree like you're trying to get the harem ending in a VN something has gone horribly wrong.
BUS! BUS! BUSSSSS BUSSSSSSSS
>Add HQ mechanic
>It's a decision-based nebulous shitty system for one country
HoI IV never ceases to amaze me. They keep adding mechanics that could be adapted to work for every nation in the world and also be much better as actual mechanics, not just moronic Focuses/Events.
Shit's bussin fr fr
>waste months making a new mechanic
>only one country benefits from it
That's not a bad thing, the problem is that this mechanic is dogshit
Buy our visual novel trees please. Thankyou.
I hate the new focus trees. People shit on it because it's old and small but I honestly think Japan has a great focus tree, it's short and to the point. The German and US focus trees are also good, worse than Japans but alright. Beyond those ones the other majors are just super bloated and shit nowadays.
Every focus tree should have 300+ 7-14 day focuses extensively detailing the political, economic and military situations at the time. Anything else is lazy, flavorless shit.
This but unironically
>implying I said it ironically
why do you want to play a clicker-game?
This but only 50 focuses and you should spend most of the game without an active focus.
don't forget the national spirits bloat too
i completely agree with you
both paradox and every homosexual modder out there seems to think that 'longer and more convoluted focus tree' is equivalent to 'good content'
in fact the opposite is true. a gigantic choose-your-own-adventure tree is the antithesis of fun gameplay. particularly when there are lots of branching paths and RNG events and things lock you out of other things and you need to spend literally 15+ minutes reading focuses and trying to deduce what does what from the vague descriptions and then think about timing some of the things out to take advantage of the research bonuses, et cetera.
it's fricking moronic. hoi4 is an easy game because paradox refuses to rebalance core combat mechanics and you can just shit out simple infantry/artillery divisions with support AA and do a world conquest. but instead of focusing on that and making it so that you actually need to use your brain at some point they just stuff everything full of random ticky-tacky clicky-ass bullshit fricking events and RNG memes and sucks even the fun out of THAT.
like i used to boot up hoi4 sometimes just do do some campaign on a lazy sunday, but now i cant even enjoy half the countries because the entire thing is tedious slog with 'le balance of power' or 'le stalin purge' or 'le poland revolt' or whatever dumb fricking shit they stuff in there
IT IS SO FRICKING TIRESOME. FRICKING STOP. FRICKING STOP. JUST MAKE THE CORE COMBAT AND CONTROLLING DIVISIONS MORE ENGAGING BY MAKING IT MORE CHALLENGING. OPERATION BARBAROSSA SHOULD BE AN ACHIEVEMENT NOT TRIVIAL. AND STOP FRICKING OVERLOADING HTE GAME WITH FRICKIGN BUKLLSHIT FRICKING FOCUS FRICKING homosexual FRICK TREES FRICK FRICK FRICK
>I want to play lazy and shitty mods because i'm a moron
frick you you fricking wienersucker i want someone to make a GOOD MOD because the fricking base game is too fricking easy and too fricking simple and i've already extracted all the fun out of 3 and now i've extracted all the fun out of 4 and 4 could be good if they just introduced actual difficulty and got rid of god damn focus trees FRICK all the hoi4 mods that attempt to make it more 'realistic' or 'challenging' like Total War or Black ICE are like "HERES YOUR BLOAT BRO. HERES YOUR 234576 FOCUSES WHICH ARE ALL 7 DAYS BRO. HERES YOUR 40000 NEW MECHANICS BRO. OH BRO THERES 3452 NEW EQUIPMENT TYPES BRO. DO YOU WANT SOME MORE BLOAT??????"
just make a GOOD MOD or better yet make a GOOD BASE GAME You fricking PARADOX FRICKS
>no content = good
>content = bad
Why don't you make your dream mod yourself? Just remove all the "bloat" and play with your little soldiers without having to worry about anything
Historical Stalin focus tree is probably my favorite vanilla tree, you have a lot of things you want to do and a limited time until Germany attacks and you're mostly stuck with what you picked pre-war until you fix your military. If you play it with full handicaps on Germany and Italy so they are actually difficult to hold against it's a lot of fun.
This may be a bit unrelated but.
>Throwing paratroopers in Rome as Brazil to get the achievement "Snakes on a Plane".
>Somehow a "hard" achievement since it's very rare according to Steam.
Do people really sleep on Brazil? It's a fun country. The achievement was easy as pie and I got to enjoy whacking the Axis and Japan.
Its a brand new achievement for a 7 year old game.
Focus trees were the worst thing that could happen to HoI4
I’m not going to be happy until they add Hitlerbus and Trotsky’s armored train in.
What do you guys think is the most worthwhile dlc ? Just got the game. Also whats a nice start ingame for learning how to play ?
>Inb4 just get it for free
I live in a megacucked country in that regard
>I live in a megacucked country in that regard
No one gives a frick, stop being a pussy and pirate dlc's
>Also whats a nice start ingame for learning how to play ?
Brazil
Okay thanks yeah looked like the dlc are not like other paracuck games and necessary. And yeah I also mainly got it for the mods but giving a vanilla game a go atm as hungary, thanks
>What do you guys think is the most worthwhile dlc ?

The DLC's add either feature bloat or new focus trees, out of the two focus trees are the more worthwhile thing IMO since the AI can make use of them. With that in mind, just do what a lot of other people do and just get the base game and then just play with mods the entire time. People used to get this game back in the day just to play Kaiserreich, though I think now that's no longer true. If you want to stick to just a WWII-based experience, play with Road to '56 which adds a ton of focus trees to where the mod arguably does a better job that the DLC's do (in some cases, there's no contest, for example the mod had content for Scandinavia and Italy years before both places got DLC that gave them proper focus trees).
Designing planes and tanks is such a waste of fricking time
frick you
It really is though. All it does is clutter up the variety menus and frick with the models.
I am toying with a mod that auto researchs tank designs through the decisions tab.
I don't understand why the devs don't do this.
I don'
In general what they need is a way to create templates (division and equipment) that you can't design yet because you don't have the tech or the xp required and save them without making them available for use until you have the right tech or pay the xp, and then let you save those so you can use them in later games. Also have a way to copy the upgrades on earlier chassis designs onto newer chassis.
devs don't play their own games, I am guessing, they delegate to professional game testers whose suggestions are ignored or played down as lacking relevance
yes they do
