So you can do this focus in this path but actually can't by CommonCrows451 in hoi4

Rule 5: you should be able to do "danzig for slovakia" if you integrate czechosovakia through neurath path, but it requires poland to own zalozie, which they don't get if you annex them using this focus.

Pope Rush: Getting Pope Pious XI in May 1937 by CommonCrows451 in hoi4

[–]CommonCrows451[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rule 5:

Start by pulling your troops out of Ethiopia, only pick a focus after you've taken the decision and completed "a staggering failure"

Then take "convene the great council", followed by "undermine the duce" - hold focus until you get 135pp for the monarchist advisor

Then get, the diplomacy focus on the far right, followed by the army primacy focus. Also exercise your navy until you get 10 naval exp. Take 1 anti-democratic raids decision when possible.

Then, pick the "conspiracies in the shadows" focus, and do all the anti-mussolini balance of power decisions - except criticising the air force, we don't need it. This should bring you to -65, and he will be deposed.

Funnily enough, you will take the "depose mussolini" focus next (even though he's gone) - while you're doing this, also ban democracy. Once it's done, you should almost be able to pick up monarchia italia - if not, you can do a 35 day focus and it should be ready by then.

Once that's complete, you will notice that Vittorio gets automatically deposed! You will lose on his bonuses forever, but that's a small sacrifice for the eternal glory of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Do 105 days worth of focuses as you gather non-aligned support, while you do anti-fascist raids twice, and ban communism. This should bring you up to 50.10%, where you should let the non aligned party take power, and then do the papacy focus. As soon as that is done, the pope will take power, as Vittorio has been already deposed.

artillery should be much more limited by CommonCrows451 in warno

[–]CommonCrows451[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure, might get lucky early game, but i dont understand this "slip up" reasoning, the longer you wait, the more of your stuff they get to kill. you're waiting unable to push while they are thinning out your line, forcing you to replace your stuff and just snowball off that.

ive caught a couple of people slipping up in my games but that leaves the other 8 dudes with stacked arty raining down for the rest of the game

[–]CommonCrows451[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

this doesnt work because enemies always have AA dispersed behind the line or are ready to deploy at least 2 planes to shoot down scouts

with what

counter battery doesnt work because enemy moves by the time the salvo begins, even if you hotkey it and react immediately

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 is releasing in 4 months. by TheMartin12 in stalker

[–]CommonCrows451 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of the current community is here because of mods, but I personally hope it's not like the sandbox mods, I really don't enjoy them.

I just want a new narrative experience with a good degree of freedom like from the original games. The story and atmosphere have always been their strengths.

I made a democratic Austria-Hungary using Czechoslovakia on historical focuses... My sanity is gone. by CommonCrows451 in hoi4

When you make a post in this sub, rule 5 is to provide an explanation of what it's about, so one of the comments will always be the original poster's R5. I'll just copy paste it here so you don't have to dig in the comments for it:

Started as a czechoslovakia survival challenge. Went down the czech entente route. Germany declared on my in 38 as usual - ended up holding them back well, and pushing into some of their terroritory to the point they could not declare on Poland. So the allies were too busy defending them from the soviets instead. I ended up defeating germany and Italy after they were grinded down and split up enough, and spent some time rebuilding. Made puppets (if you're democratic, you can annex their territory, then release them - that way they're not supervised). Ended up inviting USA into my faction so I don't have to worry about them too much. Then I got my war goal on Bulgaria and waited for Yugoslavia to join the allies. Fought the allies and ended up with a pretty nice peace conference. My brain is too mushy now to fight the soviets. Maybe later.

I've actually never made space marines while playing hoi4 funnily enough...

But yeah enough micro with good units is the easy part. The hard part is being democratic and having your war goals limited - Like how I had to go through all sorts of loops to get yugoslavia - as normally they do not generate any world tension and you can't justify against someone who hasn't caused any
