I fully expect China to be one of the first, and also stuff for Canada/Australia, both Spains, and probably Sweden (because it's Paradox, even if Sweden didn't fight in the war) coming within 6 months.

I'd be surprised if Hungary and Romania didn't get ones at some point. Maybe Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia too if they're doing Poland?

Yeah I was being glib with the D&D talking point but Rommel was pretty enthusiastic about the whole Nazi thing in the beginning and I hate the "clean Werhrmacht" bullshit.

Is it just me or is the mass assault doctrine just not as good as the others? Maybe I'm reading it wrong but I don't see why you would pick it or stay on course with it unless you are China and heading into a war almost immediately.

The Deep Battle branch looks okay, but I'm not an expert on these kinda things. I always wound up going Mobility in DH.

HoI4 has no supply, resource consumption, or HQs to speak of.

So how is it a wargame?

It's about getting there first with more men.

Gort posted:

The best wargames have six-hundred-layer simulations of every weapon and piece of equipment a division has while being effectively identical to "US divisions have 12 soft attack, Japanese ones have 10"

It's like how you can sperg out about a Tiger and T-34 squaring off 1:1 on a flat featureless plain but 90% of the time the tank that's there and sees the other one first is the best tank.

National Unity in general needs to be more dynamic. It seems a little weird that as France you can wipe out Germany in '36 and still have such a lovely value. Surely people would have more confidence in a government that wiped out literal Hitler in 6 months?

I kinda hope there's some fix for the late game slowdown. I know my processor is a little long in the tooth these days but it's pretty ridiculous.

This stupid game convinced me to upgrade my i5-2500k to a Sky Lake CPU so it can ground to a halt in 1942 instead of 1939.

Anyhow, is producing heavy tanks as France at all worth it? I feel like adding them to an infantry template might not be a bad idea for a defensive war but you don't exactly have a ton of military factories to play with.

Newest Kaiserreich seems to use 56 days for most focuses on the new nations they added and the tempo is good. I think once they use the stability mechanic that just got added in and swap out focuses for decisions it will get a lot better. In the interim I just use the auto complete console cheat for things I think should just be decisions and it keeps a higher tempo without breaking the narrative too bad.

Now that they’ve gotten past just porting the DH crap over I feel like they’re getting a better grasp on things.

Also I love all the KR event spam because I’m a sucker and enjoy all the flavor. It also helps they didn’t muck with core gameplay the way Black Ice does.

My thoughts on my experiment in cutting down focus times for KR:

Pacing is better, but the fact that you can only really go down one tree at a time kinda kills things. I think they shouldnt be afraid to make the trees shorter, like four focus per tree

also making myself able to blitz through trees quickly made me op from all the country modifiers, they should make those show up faster because when everyone is op no one is op

With huge trees (looking at you Ireland) I usually use the auto-complete cheat to take one free focus for each one I do.

I hope that now that they ported it to Wanking the Tiger they can actually start using decisions. It would cut down so much on tree size. The reduced times on all the nations in the new patch are a lot better too.

Though I'm not as down on KR4 as some people are in this thread.

I've also been using this submod for Kaiserreich: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1412973158

It cuts down focus times for a few countries but in a sane way.
