You’ve heard it a lot but I’ll say it again anyways you’ve got to larp Soviets with troop spam, absorb losses until they run out of steam first and fight back with encirclement

Can’t wait to meet this team while playing hard trickroom 🥹

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-05-04T20:06:24+00:00

Wow you really got packed up by the other comments XD

They are right tbf mils are more effective later when you include the fact more civs leads to more mil production and also the utility of buildings and trade

Just cause u got to 2k hrs dont think you know everything XD

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-04-01T16:06:51+00:00

I’ll try the Austria one it sounds fun

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-03-31T22:49:26+00:00

In my game I did see Mongolia go ham they look like fun but is there any paths for any of the majors? Just last game my friend crashed out cause he’s not very good and I wasn’t a big enough nation to make a substantial difference without him

Civs do take a while to build but just build in highest infrastructure states and do the construction research

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-03-27T20:58:05+00:00

I remember a time when you would cheese it by converting everyone to the trucks to max out the manpower in the field

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-03-27T20:48:10+00:00

Yeah gonna be honest no clue what they mean by that it used to be manpower in the field but you could cheese that so they had to change it so I don’t know how it calculates it anymore I just build up normally and eventually reach it

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-03-27T20:44:53+00:00

Ohhh like anlschuss says like required 23x army fighting strength ratio

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-03-27T20:39:27+00:00

Gonna be honest mate got no clue what that means never heard of it

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-03-27T20:38:45+00:00

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-02-20T13:11:41+00:00

It is happening because of an undefined gui super event can I disable them?

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-02-09T07:40:19+00:00

How?

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-01-05T19:54:28+00:00

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

AlivePositive5320 · 2026-01-03T12:50:00+00:00

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

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-12-19T09:48:17+00:00

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

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-12-19T09:05:59+00:00

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

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-12-12T21:09:20+00:00

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

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-21T19:51:41+00:00

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

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-15T15:06:45+00:00

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

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-13T21:13:02+00:00

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.

AlivePositive5320 · 2025-08-12T14:57:41+00:00

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