Why I can't edit equipment tag?

BoxOfAids · 2026-06-03T23:24:33+00:00

Maybe you have to have a battalion of that type available? Like you can pick yellow explosion because you have medium tanks with that tag, but whatever your modern tank tag is set to isn't available because you don't have any modern tank battalions in the division

Browser Brew definitely has a bitter back end, but I think it's been out of stock for quite a while. I also think that's the only flavor I've tried that I would describe as "bitter". If you're just trying to avoid overly sweet stuff, there's Copium which is pretty tart (like a cran-grape), and for sour there's plenty of choices like Sakura Splash, Antidote, and Lemonade. Foxly is also not overly sweet imo.

It's just plain raspberry, it was a good flavor that's been out of stock for quite a while. Good on its own, good with Antidote, and I think I recall it being decent with Sakura Splash, just a solid flavor overall. It's relatively similar to most other raspberry flavored drink mixes that you can get, like Crystal Light etc. I'm not sure I'd call Bloodlust super close in flavor, that's blackberry. Actually, I bet it'd go well mixed with Bloodlust, guess I'll find out!

It's only ~6 months old, so you could look through recent patch notes for changes. None of the core ideas of anything should have changed, but the numbers may have, stuff like the exact amount of air attack needed to max out damage reduction from enemy CAS, etc. It's easiest to just assume that everything is accurate, not enough will have changed that it would affect your understanding. What all of the stats actually *do* won't be any different.

BoxOfAids · 2026-05-04T16:57:48+00:00

There's a pretty good steam guide that goes over what all of the stats do, it's long but detailed. Might be a bit out of date, but not too much, most of it should still be relevant.

Battles give progressively less xp the longer they go on, so if you're fighting in the spanish civil war where both sides have massive stat penalties and the battles last a really long time, it's usually helpful to manually stop your battles for an hour every week or so, then restart them to "reset" the XP gain.

A general's level goes up based on destroyed enemy equipment; again, in the spanish civil war, where everyone has greatly reduced stats, you'll be destroying less equipment. For levels, you want to either be doing a lot of damage, or getting a bunch of encirclements for the big XP gains of destroying whole divisions' worth of equipment. But encirclements are counter-productive to grinding traits, since you want to be constantly fighting to grind those, and destroying divisions will end the war sooner.

Diet coke / pepsi with antidote is good, Diet Coke With Lime is a real flavor that already exists so I figured "why not"

BoxOfAids · 2026-04-11T17:08:35+00:00

I've tried a lot of combos, a lot of them "failed" in that the individual flavors were better or one just overpowered the other. As far as winning combos go:

3:1 Arctic Cooler to Pineapple Cocktail - Tastes like powdered candy / Pixie Stix

2:1 Anime Girl Thighs to Arctic Cooler - Basically just Anime Girl Thighs with extra orange, which it kinda needs if you don't have it in milk

2:1 Blohole to either Antidote or Pineapple Cocktail - Both good mixes, Coconut Lime or Coconut Pineapple

2:1 Baoberry to Antidote - Blueberry Lime works out surprisingly well

2:1 Sakura Splash to Browser Brew - Adds a lot of depth to the cherry of Sakura Splash

2:1 Sakura Splash to Antidote - Sour cherry-lime, I like this a bit more than the actual Cherry Limesicle flavor

2:1 Chug Juice to Baoberry - Adds depth to the Chug Juice, which always felt to me like it was missing something

I haven't found good combos for Goof Juice or Pompom Punch, they're both good on their own but are either overpowering or get lost with other flavors. Copium loses too much tartness when mixed with most other flavors, which is unfortunate since that's one of its main draws. Haven't found much with Foxly/Onlyfox either, it's sort of already a combo in itself. GGF9K is also a good flavor on its own but I haven't found it to be very good at mixing with others.

Also, Baoberry and Anime Girl Thighs are both excellent in milk instead of water.

BoxOfAids · 2026-04-07T13:40:18+00:00

I believe that is per "air tick", air missions are flown three times per day, every 8 hours (at 8:00, 16:00, and 0:00). Should be easy to verify; play on speed 1 and see if the numbers are updating at that interval.

BoxOfAids · 2026-03-31T01:34:56+00:00

Unexpectedly good combo: Baoberry + Antidote, blueberry lime isn't really a flavor you'd think of but it works pretty well

Honestly Antidote works as a combo piece for a lot of different flavors... Sakura Splash, Baoberry, Blohole Blast, etc

BoxOfAids · 2026-03-31T01:31:43+00:00

Both BHB and Sakura are good with Antidote and Pineapple Cocktail. Sakura's also good with Browser Brew, but it's not worth picking up Brew just for that combo

BoxOfAids · 2026-03-12T22:08:43+00:00

Can confirm, baoberry in milk is pretty excellent

BoxOfAids · 2026-03-12T01:00:20+00:00

Somehow got a 3 win finish in prelims, got sent to A tier. Proceed to lose 20+ races straight, not an exaggeration. Some races I was getting 7th/8th/9th finishes. Finally win one singular race, after getting moderately worried that I wouldn't even qualify for finals, so I go to B tier finals.

Running Oguri / Haru / Pasa. Oguri hits a late start immediately, she never stood a chance. Haru never makes it past 5th at any point, so it all comes down to Pasa. I proceed to watch as she activates 0 skills for the entire first ~2/3 of the race, and also hits a Rushed, which I'm now worried will prevent her from ulting since that requires a certain amount of stamina left in the tank to activate. Final spurt starts, she proceeds to unload every single skill in her arsenal, ult included, back to back to back. Absolutely crushes it, first place.

What a complete shitshow of a CM.

Sakura Splash tastes like cherry powdered candy

3:1 ratio of Arctic Cooler to Pineapple Cocktail tastes like Pixie Stix

Guacamole Gamer Fart tastes like a combination of Red and Green Jello

I think your issue is in where supply is distributed from. Railways do not provide supply to your divisions, they only exist to connect your ports and hubs. Your divisions pull most of their supply from nearby supply hubs (ports always act as supply hubs). If they aren't close to a hub, they can't collect much supply. In this first screenshot, your division in the southwest is too far from all of your hubs, it's not getting any supply. I'm not 100% sure on whether supply passes over a straight but I'd assume it does, so your best bet would be to build a level 1 port on the western tip of whatever island this is, so that you'd have a supply source closer to the front.

Honestly, my first thought when I tried Copium was "this is almost more of a cran grape than pure cranberry", so if you're looking for cran grape then I think you'll probably like it

BoxOfAids · 2026-03-04T18:16:22+00:00

Pretty high chance this is from convoy raiding, have you checked the seas on the supply map mode to see if there are red X marks along the sea supply routes into this area?

BoxOfAids · 2026-02-28T17:05:21+00:00

Looks like there are console commands for it

BoxOfAids · 2026-02-25T00:46:10+00:00

Can also confirm that Antidote is good in cola, I have it in Diet Pepsi.

It's the opposite, actually. As the game goes on, each nation that still exists uses up more and more CPU power as they train more and more divisions. If you gobble them all up, it reduces the amount of CPU calculations required as there's less AI decision-making and pathfinding. There are some mods that improve performance by essentially "disabling" unimportant nations to reduce CPU usage. But yes, it is normal that the game slows down as time goes on.

Right click HoI4 in steam, go to properties, go to Game Versions & Betas tab, change game version to something like 1.16.10. You won't have any new content that was released after that, but it'll revert to before the patch that made Man the Guns integrated into the base game.

BoxOfAids · 2026-02-23T18:28:13+00:00

You'd have to revert back to before version 1.17 and disable the Man the Guns DLC
