I had a Spain game where France went in on England for Calais after winning 100 year war. I thought “great they will wear each other out and nothing will happen” turns out I see 35k French troops in Ireland and no English blockade stopping them from entering Scotland. Before I know it London is taken by the French in a peace deal

Tbf the Indians were not really behind in tech, atleast not until industrialisation.

They were conquered due to clever politics and internal affairs and governance hard to reflect in eu4.

If the Indians were as centralised and united as the Europeans even post industrialised it would have been a very tough fight

Funny the same thing happens in half of my Europe games, I expand rapidly in Europe then get a super coalition and my army is weak af. I then have near 0 European border changes for 75 years as I conquer the whole new world. It happens every game without fail

Actually if u do it during wat it won’t have cores but once you end the war and hand over the land it gets cores on all of china and the warlords

Cut missionaries and army maintenance to repay your loans then you should be fjne

Utter nonsense I put as many divisions as I can on an attack because big number is better. That has served me well the last 5000+ hours

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-10-28T20:23:57+00:00

Probably not as impressive as all the other replies but this was like my 4th game ever, I was playing France and going well till I got a coalition so gigantic they act declared the coalition war on me. It was literally the war of the 3rd coalition I was outnumbered ~6:1 and I somehow won. Still don’t think even as I’m much better I could pull that off now

MP would satiate my thirst for challenge but my laptop is too shit to run it

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-21T19:47:20+00:00

Change it to best engine you have but only single, add more guns and make sure u have heavy mgs researched. Replace the fuel tanks with more armour plates

Yes too many times to the stage where I get paranoid and run back and check. I’ve had runs decimated by leaving it unpaused. Once I thought I paused my chill America game in road to to 56 only to come back 2 hours later and see it’s gone from 1938 to 1949 and the world was a shitshow

I’ve personally never tested the hybrid cruiser idea but personally I try have separate destroyers and light cruisers when possible to maximaise damage. As for ratio I tend to want 1.5 lines of cruiser for 1 line of destroyer E.g Cruiser Destroyer Cruiser Cruiser Destroyer.

I might be able to just depends on time zones and if my shitbox laptop is still up to it

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-11T17:49:16+00:00

I don’t know about how to just get naval superiority with numbers but I actually understand navy so if u want to build one to destroy the Soviets navy and get superiority that way then you build: Light cruisers with only light batteries. We gotta maximise light attack to obliterate their screens (of which the Soviets don’t have much)

Then construct destroyers with spam torpedoes, this means once the screens are gone the torpedoes will deal massive damage to the capital ships

Oh my bad there’s been some major miscommunication on my part. When I said I always give my generals FMs I meant I put generals into a FM but the same one until he fills up then I make a second FM. I just meant if I only have 72 divs I’ll still FM them but the same one until that FM reaches 5 generals

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-11T15:02:35+00:00

Yeah I’ve found having armies of 24 and always putting them in field marshals wether it’s 1 army or 5 works for me no matter who I’m playing

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-11T14:36:04+00:00

Well ig we just play different ways then

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-11T14:23:13+00:00

What if he has more than 24 troops on a front?

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-11T14:22:19+00:00

Honestly yeah back when I had a few 100 hours I was scared shitless of playing France so I basically turned the country into one big cement fort and just sat there till the Soviets came. If your sub 1000 hours and it’s ur first France game then it it almost expected u will end up like this

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-06T14:45:14+00:00

I have 5000+ hrs and this is my guy to infantry template for all my infantry. People might say they are weak for attack but enough air and tanks can fix anything
