American Indian Paganism being the National religion while Omaha is Protestant is pretty fantastic.

Lord Tywin posted:Some more HOI IV http://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive/v/29053519 , this time the dude Johan is playing against pumps out 20 completely untrained infantry divisions to trigger the anschluss in 1938 and Johan is just 200 days away from having fully motorized divisions. I was listening to 3 Moves Ahead all day at work today while doing some super repetitive database work, so coming home and having Troy Goodfellow on the stream was a weird and momentarily disorienting moment.

Epinephrine posted:Yes, but President Reagan did wisely enact the "Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Act. That decision is pretty OP, seeing that it tag-switches the USSR to Russia and force releases all provinces with non-accepted cultures. No the fact that oil prices plummeted at the time had nothing at all to do with it it was all 100% that one speech. I believed this but then I turned twelve.

Is there any knowledge of when HoI4 will come out? From the livestreams it looks almost done, and I understand it's in beta so far, so it is more a question of final polish hopefully.

If I weren't posting from a phone I'd paste an image from the hit movie Momento where the protagonist looks at a photo with the caption "Don't believe his lies." But since I can't I'll just say that the HOI4 release date remains unconfirmed. Wishful thinking has currently convinced people it will be Q1 2016 but we still don't know for sure.

Have they mentioned what those Theater Groups are or what the icons mean? I probably missed it in a diary or video somewhere. e: Oh I see, they're exactly what they sound like, they group up all the generals leading troops in a particular theater you define, part of setting up OOB.

Paradox wants to break into the Chinese market. In the release version, all of China will be shown as unified and indivisible under Chairman Mao, who will effortlessly crush the pitiful Japanese army after a week in every single game.

Johan mentioning that doctrines is a no-brainer choice when doing research and how this probably means they should change something got me thinking that maybe it would be better and (and realistic) if instead of doctrines being normal tech research they should be unlocked with the appropriate experience. This should give you a dilemma, at least in peacetime when you don't have alot of experience coming in, whether to spend it on your overall army doctrine or retooling your divisions and such to make use of new technology and whether you want to take attrition from training your army.

Maybe tie it to selecting the Chief of Staff? Like if Hitler chooses to appoint a super-old guard General instead of backing the likes of Guderian, then Germany ends up with Grand Battle doctrine ala Hindenburg/Luddendorf. Similarly, if the British appoint Hart (which costs a lot more political capital) they are locked into Maneuver warfare doctrine.

I'm thinking I'll just put nothing but naval bombers and fighters on my carriers - their primary role is naval supremacy, after all.

I'm kinda worried the go-to tactic is going to be going ham on naval bombers and just melting any non-carrier taskforce. And overwhelming a more balanced once, unless fighters can really gently caress up a swarm of bombers. Fears of early British carriers running around the Mediterranean just barfing Swordfish while Italians uselessly flail come to mind...

And overwhelming a more balanced once, unless fighters can really gently caress up a swarm of bombers. I imagine there is still a considerable cost to building aircraft carriers and airplanes so shoving all your eggs into one basket, so to speak, still isn't wise (or easy in this case). With the Mediterranean in particular, most of it is still within easy reach of land based airfields to give Italian and German ships cover. Not to mention that with nothing but bombers at your disposal you'd have nothing to defend your fleet with if your enemy also just threw a shitload of bombers at you.

Yeah, I wouldn't forgo fighters on my carriers unless I had land-based fighter cover (and perhaps not even then) but I don't see myself sacrificing torpedo bombers in favour of dive-bombers on a carrier, ever. I guess it all depends exactly what stats the two bomber types end up having.

It feels like this really opens up the need/value for CVEs that can be built at a reduced cost to CVs and used specifically for the kind of land support role they were intended for...

I feel ya bro, here WW2 navies for dummies Submarines: long hard and full of seamen. Botes that sink, but can also unsink. Used either independently or as part of fleets. Destroyers: smallest warbote you'll see on the surface. Fast and lightly armored its good at killing subs or using torpedoes to kill large botes with no support. Best used in large numbers. Cruisers: like destroyers but larger. Not sure what the were good at, neither were IRL navies to be honest Battle cruisers: you know what sucks? Armor. Armor is for pussies, strip that bullshit off so we can go fast and carry bigger guns. Carrier: huge fucker that carries airplanes. Will get hosed if caught alone Battleship BIG GUNS BEST GUNS BEST SHIP so long as there arnt carriers in the region.
