I know that there’s bi a definitive the best, but I wanna hear who people use which is storng. I personally use Hess, Speer and Himmler
So I was plaing as pre dlc germany and i was struggle to defeate belgium with 66 inf division and 24 tank division (1mot. Art. 1mot AA, 6 mot and 7 meduim) while from italy my 6 mountaneer(1 AA- 5 Art. And 12 mountaneer) heavly outbumbered took paris from South So... is worth to use tank over mountaneer?
I kept seeing references to the new Cruiser Sub special project along with the rubber gasket and propulsion projects and then eventually the Fleet Sub along with a few other submarine projects. Can anyone share some meta designs to aim for as you complete some or all of the special projects that are available? For example, I'm not sure if I should be putting deck guns, aircraft launchers, or more torpedo tubes on my Cruiser Sub.
Literally the title, I’m just curious how fast people’s acquired nuke since the update, mine is usually 1943 to 1944 depend on countries
I know that right now I should have a different inf for every terrain type, but that's not viable for countries like Japan, Italy and so on. What do you guys use as default inf? How about MP? (Also i Know you should push with tanks, but when you play with a minor nation what type of inf do you use as offense. I said that because i heart 9/1 are not woth it and i don t know what to use.
Is that just me or did they make the German Civil War way harder with Götterdämmerung? I've played it many times before the DLC but now it just takes forever for me to win, or I just loose. The KI finishes it up usually by September '36 but the quickest win I had was in November '38.
Is there a new strategy I have to use or am I just too stupid?
I went EU Austria on non historical, the little entente was reaffirmed and no one gave into Germany resulting in a super early war where they got curb stomped by everyone around them. Italy was already in the axis along with a fascist Ethiopia. Somehow after capitulating both Germany and Italy, Ethiopia, the only other axis member a nation with 4-7 divisions and 3 factories, is now considered a major? Why?
Built some ballistic missile silos but when I click on them to add a missile, the list bugs out by flashing up for a frame then disappears again, meaning I cant actually add any missiles.
Anyone else having this problem?
Why can you get Erich Raeder as country leader but not Dönitz? imo Dönitz should be able to become leader expeciall bc he was irl
And wtf are MEFO bills anyway?
Hello,
I'm looking for a mod that adds more 3D buildings to the map. Please send suggestions
Saw someone saying the fleet subs were really good. How does the nuclear submarine or modern battleship stack up for instance?
Running into the issue where if I'm not playing a major with a LOT of factories-- Germany, US, USSR, ect-- to slap down research facilities, I'm unable to get even one breakthrough. So, clearly I'm doing something wrong, or the devs really intended no one to be able to research core mechanics like radar.
So the question stands, what's the best way to handle the new research system?
Offers an event that might be pricy mistake?
RT
Apologies for such lame ask, but what does the events triggered by the 'The Better German State' is? Is that going to rob the Germany I earned by blood and sweat (and time) from me?
I am on ironman and 20+ hours in. Took me pain to defeat Germany and USSR so kinda don't want to risk it. Could start one non-Ironman save and test but if just thought to look for my luck here.
Also, that 'Beyond our old lands' focus give div attack bonus is juicy AF!!!
Soooo... what's their point? Do they contribute to the nuclear production?
As in the new dlc before you start the German civil war, you can choose to ensure the loyalty of some Kriegsmarine admirals or not. Is it worth the price to get them to stay?
Since in exchange you would need to delegate time to do those 70 days Navy focuses instead of other way more useful ones in the limited time to not have them leave and add debiffs. But if you choose not to, then you will lose Donitz and a few others.
I'm not sure which is the better choice, could anyone help?
I'm sorry but after the first game that introduced the medals, its novelty wore off. I would rather have a automatic assign medals button. Right now I just ignore them because I cant be bothered, unless its one of my few PZ DIV.
After the update the game gets slow at 1940 before it was 1943ish. Do you have any mods suggestions to help with it. I have tried some of the old mods that remove south america but now the game wont load because the map cant load in. Any already update mods for this?
Hello, I am playing WW1 with the Rise of Nations mod. I rule the Ottoman Empire and I am allied with Germany. During the war, I occupied a lot of land in the Caucasus lands of Russia on the eastern front and was advancing. Germany signed a ceasefire with Russia and my armies withdrew to their former places. I lost all the lands I gained, but what Germany gained remains. Why did this happen?
My second question is; Italy was my puppet state but They signed a ceasefire with France against my will. How can I prevent this?
Thanks
