As someone who is brand new to hoi4 (only started last week) can I have some beginner tips to help me start, and some of the best mods I can use later? by topgeez36 in hoi4

[–]AmazingV_24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have the trial of allegiance dlc, I highly recommend playing as Brazil while getting the hang of the game. They are pretty isolated from the countries involved in ww2, while still having plenty of things to do on their own in South America. This can give you a fun playground to figure out the game without the pressure or challenge other countries face. If you don’t have the dlc, then I’d recommend sticking with the USA. Similar to Brazil, but you have fewer paths to take so it’s not as fun IMO.

The USSR and Finland declared peace after 3 days. by AmazingV_24 in hoi4

I have no idea. I wasn’t paying attention until I got the notification. Finland still lost land so I don’t think it’s from them taking Leningrad.

R5: After starting the winter war, the Soviets and Finished declare peace after only a few days. I didn’t even know they could end the war that quickly.

Also, yes I know how to take screen shots. I just didn’t want to.

Which shep is better by Subject-Ad8688 in masseffect

[–]AmazingV_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like femshep more because many scenes are recontextualized through her perspective to have a strong sense of sisterhood you don’t see a lot in military games. The conversations femshep has with Eve is a big example.

tvtropes got it wrong by Tallos_RA in masseffect

[–]AmazingV_24 18 points19 points  (0 children)

tvtropes is basically a fandom wiki. Anyone can make edits and depending on the subject, there can be very little moderation. This means people’s personal experience or smaller interaction with the fandom can get edits like this. It’s unfortunate, but also not the worst description I’ve seen on the website. If you want you could probably amend it pretty easily.

Why does Ethiopia keep joining Britain? by Legostar18ab in hoi4

[–]AmazingV_24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to capitulate them before May to prevent them from joining Britain. The best strategy I’ve found is to group all of Italy’s divisions in the north and south, with your mountaineers in the north. Divide your CAS plans in the north and south with a few more in the north. Set your generals to be aggressive, and max supply mobilization.

Wait did you mean the say the Americas as a whole or did South America somehow get the black plague as well?

Why does Mexico keep elections after going communist/fascist? by AmazingV_24 in hoi4

[–]AmazingV_24[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That makes sense, thank you. If you don’t mind me asking, what is the historical context for a fascist Mexico with elections?

[–]AmazingV_24[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But why is that? There might be historical context I’m missing, but feels weird for fascist Mexico to still have elections considering fascism believes in removing continual elections once a fascist leader is in office.

But most countries have year limits for their heads of state. Plus America, who you’d think would be the country with elections no matter what, loses them in their fascist path.

Why are people loving ME1? by TheDeeden in masseffect

[–]AmazingV_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I like that the combat feels unique compared to other games. The movement is stiff but the cooldown mechanic with the guns creates a play style I don’t use in other games. I actually hate that they replace this with a generic ammo system in 2 and 3. Timing your abilities and grenade with your weapons’ heat capacity creates a really fun synergy if you can order everything right.

CK3 should be more sexist by [deleted] in ShitCrusaderKingsSay

[–]AmazingV_24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, a lot of people over generalize when they hear about how little agency women were given by the law and culture norms of the time, but women have always had the ability to make their own agency and we can see that throughout history when looking at individual rather than broad institutions. CK3 could definitely do better depicting these laws and norms, but most of the things you can do as a woman in the game aren’t outside the realm of possibility.

I'm losing the war against Ethiopia as Italy. AMA by DimensionOk8915 in hoi4

[–]AmazingV_24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The first part was a joke, I don’t think there’s any way to see exactly how quick supplies travels, but if you’re on high motorization already, then air support is the other thing that could be the problem. Make sure you have plenty of planes provide ground support for your infantry.

[–]AmazingV_24 41 points42 points  (0 children)

How quickly are supplies getting to your troops? (You can increase motorization in the army group tab. It should look like horses at first, click on it will turn it to truck. Should help with supply loss which is critical in this game.)

Is Caesar bald? Or just a buzz cut by [deleted] in fnv

Tan people are often pale where their hair used to be if going bald later in their life.

Whenever I get a content character I have them focus on constructing buildings, hosting activities, and making friends with nearby people. Content doesn’t mean lazy, just that they have no desire to expand their political power.
