I'll probably restart it as a new Italy game later. Anyone know if it's a good idea to build a strong submarine and air wing to control the med and be aggressive in the balkans and arabia?

Will I actually be able to make a viable alt-history Italy that can close off the Med in this one? Or a 1932 Germany that saw the value in naval aviation and the aircraft carrier a decade before anybody else? I kept trying and failing in HoI3.

Strange. Mine took days and days to go anywhere. In the meantime Ethiopian forces surrounded the Italian front and took it one by one until eventually my forces were cut off, then defeated.

So how long until a massive Goon co-op game as part of single nation that would likely start off well before collapsing into infighting and defeat?

Because that seems like it'd be a pretty accurate simulation of the German WWII experience.

It's certainly a way to revolutionise the LP experience.

That was awesome. The full version of the game walled behind a "X" you could click in the upper right hand corner. :laffo:

e: the Custom Start option they allowed in the one DLC was great. It was super time consuming, gamey, and broke the game in plenty of ways, but I think I spent more time doing that than anything else

Well, there is "German Reich" for fascist Germany.

Speaking of fascist Sweden, today is our independence day! 493 years of not being Denmark! Royal babies are being paraded, the creepy nationalists are out in force and no one has to work. Except, apparently, for the poor people slaving away at Paradox. :sweden:

I worked too! No rest for us at Gröna Lund. I guess a whole ton of people wanted to celebrate Sweden by standing in queues all day. Hey, I ain't judging.

A good thing about working all day is that I haven't seen a single obnoxious "sverigevän" who claims he can't jerk off on the flag quite as vigorously as he'd like. No cellphone at work means no social media!

This is pretty much the way to go if you're using Photoshop. If you add pixels to make a multiple of 4, apply them to the bottom and right of the image, as I believe Paradox base their image origin at 0,0 (top left corner). Everything outside of that will just not exist. This can get a little weird if you're doing stuff with transparency, though, like interfaces. You've been warned!

Alternatively, I think Paradox uses Paint.Net, of all things. You could just use that if you want.

they only really work well when mixed in with other troops so you will seldom see such high hardness, but yeah hard attack gets important late game (unlike hoi3 where it never really was)
