I just want to be able to send my army of 100,000 troops into another army of 100,000 troops and pray to the RNG gods I win, not this tactical bullshit. Who the gently caress cares who's tanks are better when it should just be "who has the larger army"? Why can't I just spend What I'm saying is: Why can't this game be even more casual?

podcat posted:do tutorial tbh. but a solid rule for all paradox games is to go through all alerts one by one as a start point The tutorial isn't Hitler anymore, is it? Clicking some of the alerts wasn't doing anything/bringing me to the industry screen with no idea of what it wanted me to do in there. EDIT: Gonna give the tutorial a shot. Any tips for what to do as Yugoslavia in 1936 when I finish? I'd like to give them an actual shot. GenderSelectScreen fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Jun 6, 2016 |

ZombieLenin posted:however, this is not helped at all by the tutorial. Not only did I find that the tutorial was just not holding my hand enough, a number of the links to wikipages with further information about... say diplomatic actions, are empty. I agree with this. The tutorial was able to help me understand how to get started playing, but it didn't really help me much with actually playing the game. And the lack of information on the wiki is also kinda lame, but I'm hoping that will be rectified in the next couple of weeks.

ExtraNoise posted:I'm seeing all these complaints about portraits in the game and I'm thinking to myself I should put aside my modern mod for a couple of weeks and use the Photoshop action I cooked up to make a bunch of leader portraits. Would you guys like ones that looked similar to this proof of concept? I'm very interesting in your Modern mod, but at the same time, my Yugoslavia game I went democratic and Milan Grol just has a generic portrait. Speaking of which,  Republican Spain won with no help from anyone. Germany and Italy kept sending troops the the Nationalists and it still wasn't enough.

My Yugoslavian Confederate game is probably going to end horribly. I've got Italian and German troops pilling up at my borders and it's not even 1940 yet.  I think I'll try a Latin American game next.

I created a spreadsheet for all the portraits that need to be done and went through all the country files listing the leaders in them. Got A through E and have over 140 portraits to do. Still a lot of other country files to go through. Why don't you focus on the Modern day mod and just work on this on when you're feeling burnt out researching 90's history.

Tindahbawx posted:Well thats pretty dumb.....if you're playing as Italy, and you've sent volunteers over to Spain to help them out in their Civil war, but it ended before you could finish the "Support Nationalist Spain" focus, it cancels the focus.....and then permanently locks you out of that side of the focus tree. That sounds like it should bypass instead, like what Motorized does on the generic tree.

Iran is a boring game. I didn't even get past 1937 before I quit. Iran takes too long to build factories and has too few slots to make military factories. You need the civilian factories to build anything in less than a year but will never be able to gain enough factories to start trading for the resources you need to produce anything.

Synthetic produces rubber.

God, Turkey's political system is weird. Do you want the Prime Minister or the President as the Head of State? I used the Prime Minister since I though it would be better to have some more diversity.  Meet Tansu Çiller, Turkey's only female Prime Minister.

I'm going to go with Prime Minister, mostly because it seems to be the norm for all parliamentary governments. You an always make the president a National Spirit like the UK in vanilla HOI IV.

Can't figure out if Ba'athist Iraq would be communist or fascist. I put Iran's main government as fascist and I'm not sure if countries of the same ideology can fight each other. I also wanted to put "Coalition Provisional Authority" as their fascist name but decided to not go too far on the jokes.

Ofaloaf posted:Should Iran be fascist? The Islamic Republic as the non-aligned option and Imperial State of Iran/Pahlavi restoration as the fascist one might work out well for that. That seems better. Iran hasn't gone to war with any western power (yet), but Iraq has, so I'll switch the ideological names around. EDIT: Iran's "Supreme Leader", Ali Khamenei, should be a National Spirit since the current one has never left power since replacing the first. Their president should be their leader in-game so elections actually do something for them. GenderSelectScreen fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Jun 17, 2016 |

Schizotek posted:I'd almost suggest making it democratic and having the guardian council stuff be event driven. But that'd be an exceptional amount of work for an actual major country, let alone a medium power like Iran. It'd also make them align to the USA. For communist I put the Tudeh party leader for the period, even though they were in exile and pretty much defunct like all of the other far left parties. If Iran is Democratic than there's going to be some ahistorical gameplay issues with Israel methinks.

Mantis42 posted:Yea just make Palestine start the game in a civil war with its fascist faction, seems like a noncontroversial way to represent the two sides. Both Palestine and Israel tags exist in HoI IV proper, so there's no need to assume which tag is the proper tag. They can both exist, just with claims on each other. Also better so then we don't have to call Fascist Palestine "Israel" or vice versa.

Schizotek posted:Who put the Republic of Mahabad for Iran? Seems like a bizarre choice given that it was a Kurdish autonomous state that lasted less than a year. Especially when you have the perfectly good Persian Socialist Soviet Republic, complete with sexy flag that becomes less sexy when you realize the writing is just some dudes name. All hail Kevin or Kaveh or whatever: I went with that name since it was a former Communist region and figured a return to prior names would be more legitimate than calling it the "Soviet Republic of Iran" especially when the Soviets are out of the picture. The "Syndicate of Iran" might work. But I'm trying to avoid using Soviet as a name.

What's the best strategy to take out the warlords as Japan w/ puppet China? My last attempt ended when the PRC joined the Comintern right before being completely occupied and invited the Soviets to the war, turning it into an unfun slog. I don't plan to join the Axis, so best way to avoid getting the Soviets involved would be nice. Would picking up the "Reinforcing the Soviet Border" focus do anything to push the huge Soviet army away from my border at the start? I was afraid to pick it in fear of the Soviets directly going to war with me.

On the topic of Japan, my game has stalled for a while now because the PRC joins up with the Soviets right before they can capitulate and drags them into the war.  It doesn't help that the Soviets have the huge army at my northern border waiting to invade from day one so I'm really not in the mood to draw them in when they're still buddy-buddy with Germany.Also, is there a way to give states to a puppeted country? China is my puppet and I want to give the captured warlord states back to them instead of puppeting them/absorbing them.

prussian advisor posted:So I hear it's possible to get an Anglo-French Union to form somehow in HOI4? How is that done, if it's actually true? I don't see anything in the NFs for either nation. I'm pretty sure France just has a chance to join the Allies. It does gain the ability to form its own faction with some Balkan countries though.
