Did the warlords get a update recently? Either I'm stupid or something did happen because I don't remember the warlord national spirit existing nor the 3rd branch for that national spirit?

i had level 4 forts in all my borders i had well supplied armies and still my armies are folded by germans when they attack me how?

Hello, hope everyone is having a great day so far!

I was wondering if any of you have recommendations for small mods to always play with, alongside major (total conversion) mods. I’m not talking about mods like Millennium Dawn, but rather mods like “50 construction slots” or “more division icons”.

The ones I currently use are:

• colorize your country
• Satisfying Puppet and Country names
• Player-led Peace Conferences
• Colored Puppets
• More Division Icons
• Toolpack without the errors
• Puppet Manager

Thank you for your time!

I've done the focus that gives claims on Paraguay, Auraguay and Argentina but it says I have no war goal and there isn't an opinion penalty with those nations despite, on the map, it showing my claims on their nations.

(No mods other than player led peace conferencee)

Someone should make a mod like the gta San Andreas one where it takes place in black mesa and you can play as the science team the xen aliens race x the hecu and the black ops

I'm trying to make a tank division with 4 support companies already picked out but don't know if support anti air will be enough. I feel like there isn't much else I can do and I really don't want to make SPAA but I can't really make an air force and don't know what else to do.

I have recently found out about unique puppet names for certain countries from https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Puppet#Puppet_Names and i have now been wondering if theres a way to keep these cool and unique names to play? like could i somehow play a indenpendent far eastern republic with the name of east siberian army? beacuse its not a cosmetic tag yet it changes the countries name?(yes i tried debug and no it does not work)

I am playing as Guangxi Clique trying to defeat Japan alongside China with the united faction when suddenly in 1945, China leaves their own faction, makes me faction leader and then joins the allies. How is that even possible? They are the faction leader, the remaining factions members all remained in the faction, including me. How can a faction leader leave and switch factions like that?

For what it's worth, a few weird things happened such as Italty not losing, Germany close to capitulating Soviets, Spain joining Axis.

The only ahistorcal thing I did was do the opposition path after I joined the united faction.

I bought this game on steam ages ago and tried to play; I did the tutorial where you start as Italy and attack Ethiopia, but I literally died in the tutorial because I'm dumb so I returned it. I just got the game again recently, and I watched a bunch of tutorial videos from different people as well as Quill18's 7 part tutorial series - I've probably spent 10 hours watching tutorials for the game. I hop into the tutorial again as Italy and within 30 minutes Mussolini was ousted. I've also tried CK3 and I suck ass at that too, and I actually spent many hours trying to play it but my small brain just can't figure it out. I want to play this game so bad it looks so fun.

how long will it be and how much does it usually go on sale for?

Am i the only one who as soon as i choose a nation the game suddently crushes and i don't know how to fix it . If anyone had the same problem like me and fixed it pls tell me how to do it i'm just tired of vanilla hoi4 😭

I don't understand this game, how is it possible that by doing the same thing every time, sometimes it can go so well and sometimes so badly, for example my last game with Germany it took me about 3 months to conquer Poland when normally I finished in 1 or 2 weeks, the French have sneaked through the maginot line with 12 soldiers protecting it when normally I left 8 and it is more than enough, I reiterate I have not changed anything at all, nothing to cause such a drastic change, the troop templates are the same that I always use, the national focus that I have always carried out in the same order, investigations, if I have even used the same generals, the production lines have been the same, the number of soldiers has varied minimally (between 50k)

How is it possible that sometimes it is ultra easy, other times it costs a little more and in others it is definitely a clear defeat?

Is the AI ​​so random?

47 makes me cry

So I am still pretty new to HOI4 but I now have 50 hours in this game so I think it is safe to assume that I have a decent idea as to what I am doing. With that said I now find myself at a crossroads and need some advice. I have established dominance in Europe and successfully conquered The English mainland, its just that I don't know what to do now. Should I invade Greenland and Iceland after I take northern Ireland and attempt to Invade America? I am not sure because while the idea is interesting it seems too risky to me. Should I continue the campaign into Africa now that both British and French industry are under my control? Well the two previous Germany games I played I dropped because it just lead to stalemate trench warfare in Africa that got me nowhere. Should I finally invade Russia? Well my apprehension to do so is obvious. So any advice from more experience players would be helpful.

Whenever I start a run for some reason the entire map is pitch black and I don’t know how to change it, could someone please help?

I played a game last night as the Soviet Union and was able to stalemate Barbarrossa before the Germans could capture Leningrad, Moscow or even Rostov/Stalino in the South.

The problem is, I couldn't figure out how to launch a successful counterattack and take back the lands I had lost. The Frontline stood stagnant for 2 whole years and by '44 I had them outnumbered 3-1. I had a surplus of Rifles, Artillery, Light/Medium Tanks and Support Equipment.

What templates do you guys use to breakthrough the Wehrmach lines? I was originally using 9/1 with Engineers/Anti-Air/Logi/Motorecon/Signal for defense but swapped it to 12/4 and had a very large number of Medium tanks but still couldn't break through.

Most of my men were adequately supplied, the only thing I didn't have was green air. Is air superiority that OP since it turns the tide against 3-1 land superiority?

I've always been looking to make a tank like a Scimitar, but I've never been able to find a mod that allows me to put something like a 30mm autocannon on the tank. So does anyone know any mods that just adds a ton of cool tank cannons?
