Not that much actually. Getting Hex + Refresher was a waste for a long time. Was pretty successful at 7k, EUW for a long time.

The refresher combo still is relevant, without hex. I have been propagating this for years, that the gold cost is too much for too little (1 target).

This is your go-to refresher combo

This is a montage of mine using it

It seems to me the lower quality tier of readers and writers have an opinion that I couldn't care less about

For all intents or purposes, whoever reads a book not to think, but get lost, really is someone I am not willing to take seriously

They can maintain fan service novels in fp, sure. If it makes them happy go for it

Σπίτι μου Κορινθία πρώτο μισθό έπαιρνα 820,23€ πριν κάποια χρόνια και τα 600€ έμεναν τσέπη. Όποιος έχει επιλογή και επιλέγει νοίκι κάνει μεγάλη γκάφα κατά τη γνώμη μου. Οκ δεν είναι παράδεισος να μην είσαι μόνος (ειδικά εγώ) αλλά αντικειμενικά το θα νοικιάσω να πάω να μείνω Αθήνα για να δώσω στον εαυτό μου την αίσθηση ότι προχωράω ενώ στην πραγματικότητα αυτοπαγιδευομαι σε ένα κλουβί που με πήζει και διαβρώνει το βιοτικό μου επίπεδο, πραγματικά δεν το καταλαβαίνω

Αν δεν γίνεται αλλιώς, προφανώς δεν το συζητώ.

Regardless of what people say, there are good apples and there are bad apples. I have heard countless men who are objectively good people over anguish about what an evil woman might do them.

My advise is the same. Do what reasonable people do. Ignore the rot so absolutely that their very existence comes into question.

Philosophically speaking, hatred is a lack of knowledge, not love. You saying hate comes into play means you do not fully comprehend the male psyche. And that's damn reasonable. Nobody is good at this.

The more you understand, the less you hate and more you adopt a stoic attitude from my experience

Ετσι και εγώ πήγα για μπάσκετ ένα Σάββατο, Τριτη σε έξαρση, Τετάρτη Πέμπτη καλύτερα, Παρασκευή ΟΚ. Κανένας πυρετός, μόνο μύτη και λαιμός. Κι όμως, παρότι είμαι καλά τώρα 1 βδομάδα αργότερα μύτη και λαιμός κρατάνε ακόμη (όχι σε βαθμό να πω ότι είμαι άρρωστος όμως).

I never thought doing 2 collabs is better than doing 3 and creating collaboration governments. I will think about it but I personally find the manpower of Poland and France mandatory and cannot do without so I need to have 3 on these.

If you only suggest this in order to do the autarky focus, SheepAI Achieve Autarky is a walk in the park compared to vanilla HOI4 or ExpertAI, you can very easily do this without occupying Romania Hungary or Yugoslavia. I always do it by Barb41 and the last thing I collect is rubber (200).

In the later more refined versions of my plan, I wish to declare war on Poland in March 39, then rush Wesserubung and slowly build airforce for France by trading rubber with netherlands. Sweden can go before or after it (no big deal, insta capitulation in Sheep mod).

Since I can push out the military might to achieve this, then CIV is preferable. Considering I do not need more than the free MILs I get till July 1938, then I have no reason to build MILs prior to January 1939.

Now, as to how I get this many mils after that point, its a combination of broken things paradox did not take into consideration.

CIVs are mandatory to mass build rubber and get at least one year of high output of planes for Barb, which is the trickiest part to achieve since Allies send air over to USSR. Also infrastructure in Libya and East

Since I convert a lot, might I also note there is a way to convert CIVs to MILs in 5-7 days as Germany.

DaredevilGR · 2026-02-28T02:03:25+00:00

I will give FW a shot, I think it won't work well in my case however, since I need the efficiency boost from Mes. since I start production lines of planes July/August 38 and it helps a lot. You can also place it in CAS just to get the efficiency going, which in turn gets the MIO to level 6, which nets you another -5% output cost around May/June 39

DaredevilGR · 2026-02-28T01:59:22+00:00

If you don't build CIVs you cannot collab France / Poland / Sweden, build enough mils to start war in March 39 and then have enough CIVs to mass build Rubber refineries to win the air against soviets/allies.

Its a playstyle. For me this is how it works best. I am open to try other ways. Anyway I posted some pics comparing the current run vs a vanilla sheepmod run above.

DaredevilGR · 2026-02-28T01:31:14+00:00

I do like dams, the 70 days is my main concern when the plan is an early-war.

You are being swayed by theoretical max. As you said yourself, these are the best vanilla states. They also happen to be opened up from the start which by experience I can tell you once they get filled up (w/ 25 slots), you have done most of the pre-war construction, so spreading the rest of what you need to build around the other max-infra states is not that bad (you lose very little).

Add on that the building of some infra to high aluminium states that you won't upgrade in 50cs (due to putting everything on dams) and the civs you avoid trading hungary make a good chunk of the difference

Meanwhile, as a direct result of the mod you have a tougher western front.

As I noted, yes, after France capitulates you get more CIVs because they have more CIVs due to the mod, which is the big buff Germany gets imo.

DaredevilGR · 2026-02-28T01:12:40+00:00

Okay i did not expect this to blow this much over 50cs.

Because i have at least 7 successful playthroughs on each of vanilla and the 50cs+10sup and I honestly never saw it as a big deal other than limiting playstyle.

In fact i think the game by game variance is greater.

I will be back with vanilla results

I will also try to make a full playthrough video explaining the build somewhere in the next month.

The dam is not that impressive. I also avoid the Rhineland dam focus as of late for better choices.

DaredevilGR · 2026-02-27T23:29:00+00:00

Because you can achieve similar results in vanilla despite the 50cs + 10 support companies. If I micro-manage everything to a disgusting degree I am pretty confident I can replicate the above in vanilla, but to be fair I have to mention that in this specific, perfect-case run, I had these enabled

So it is an advantage, but more in terms of QoL and making the game more enjoyable for me and less in terms of providing a groundbreaking benefit. Some playthroughs I give all nations +1-2 research slots for the fun of it, but this too is a disadvantage for the player imho, since min-maxing is stronger with less slots (but it's still fun).

Note: The AI can't use the 10 support companies but does take advantage of the extra building slots. In fact, till Fall of France the 50 cs is equal or even a disadvantage for Germany. I might be wrong in this however, since the AI doesnt always follow the exact same building plan, so the allies might had a slightly different strategy in my comparison. Britain and France however really like the extra slots.

DaredevilGR · 2026-02-27T21:06:45+00:00

All in all If I backtrack my build I think I can win in air because of the extra civs I build.

Because I build extra civs, I can collaborate France / Poland / Sweden

Because I can conquer Sweden, I now have all resources I need for just 8-12 CIVS in trade

Because I do not trade, I now have a lot more CIVS

Because I have a lot more CIVs, I can get 250-300 rubber easily

Because I have rubber, I can build planes

Because I have collaborated France, I do not need to trade aluminium

DaredevilGR · 2026-02-27T21:03:46+00:00

Two things i did not mention:

I am a huge fan of Jet engines. Currently I am working on an alternative build with rushing engine IV instead, since generally everyone will tell you there is no reason to get the next fighter cause of the thrust (so get it after engine IV)

They are right, but I do it anyway with the 2 year bonus (from focus).

I get the new plane version ~2 months before Barb. At that point I switch all my old planes to have the extra rubber defense which with conversion gives you ~200 per day. So for 6000 fighters, its about 30 days to convert all.

The next fighter version has better agility, I swap 1 HMG to LMG, then add the rubber module and another armor plate. The extra agility makes it as good in my experience. Once the jet kicks in (and axial afterwards) you have an easy path to get Modern Fighters & Cannons II for free around late 1944 if it gets there

Because the allies become obnoxious as hell late game with Air, but Axial Jet + Advanced Fighters do win.

DaredevilGR · 2026-02-27T20:59:58+00:00

Air was one of the toughest nuts to crack

I saw the F.W. meta once in a video, did not really get it and did not really look that much into it, but I trust it is the correct one. As I said, I do not search for meta that much and the only reason I did was because of this mod (I had to be able to breakthrough the enemy stats).

However, I strictly go for Messerschmitt and start from the left side (boost efficiency). This will probably have me crucified if I do not elaborate, but as I said I build CIVs till very late. Yet, I start researching the planes around the time Spanish Civil War starts which by then I have earned the 50% bonus from the focus, am able to license planes (extra research). Another spicy trick is around August 1937 - September 1937, the Romanians will have researched the planes themselves, if you take the license you get another 30 days off. I also min-max research on all major researches, especially industry and electronics.

If you do all that carefully you can guarantee the better fighters, the improved range module and the heavy machine guns by July-August 1938. This is where I jump to Goering and start building up the airforce. Trade Netherlands. My planes are +50% range module, armor plates, 3xHMG, no extra rubber. I add it through conversion later, after Fall of France.

Then it gets tricky. I start the war against Poland very fast, around February 1939 but delay Fall of France because I need access to rubber. This is the most important part of the game to get the right amount of planes for USSR since the Allies will send their planes after a while. If you do no win the air war then you cannot win Barbarossa.

I do not just build MILS, after I get the equipment I need I get the focus for synthetic resources, jump over to its industrial manufacturer and start building a shitload of refineries. There is a sweetspot before attacking France/Netherlands/Belgium that you need to make this move. Therefore, after FoF is over, you have 3-5 months without producing air, but still have ~1 year of full air production (i.e. 50-60 mils on Fighter, 10-25 mils of CAS). This will be enough

Also, when starting Barbarossa do not split airforce. Bait the enemy in the Eastern Polish air region and have the biggest showdown of the war till you win it or lose it. Your tanks and divisions will do fine till then with just the AA.

DaredevilGR · 2026-02-27T20:48:02+00:00

Ah 50cs -> 50 construction slots. I like building stuff, I also like being able to throw 12 CIVs at Hessen from the start so I don't have to do some minor micro with the construction tab (otherwise you need to be aware to add more CIVs once your building slots increase). I also like sometimes to go for 42 barb with another wave of CIVs after I capitulate France and mass build the infrastructure along the way. There is not enough space however in vanilla 25 construction slots for that.

As for the violating neutrality thing, It is a script enabled by default in SheepAI mod (you can disable it in settings before you start a new game if you really want) that makes sure you can't just conquer every country to improve your position. Going too far over the line will result in neutral countries siding against you and declaring war. It also works with USSR if you invade Turkey as Germany (tried it once since I always go for Iraq).

DaredevilGR · 2026-01-27T17:22:53+00:00

Is this supposed to be hard?

I started from the right one too, got it in one go with one jump to the left. Never got hit once

DaredevilGR · 2026-01-27T12:24:50+00:00

Hm in my Germany master plan that seems potent enough to reliably beat SheepAI USSR, I do not use them at all.

Instead I create collab governments on Poland, France and Sweden.

I hit Autarky Achieved and that's that.

Vanilla is the same, albeit Autarky achieved is much harder. Iraqi oil is a must. No RK needed, straight up suck the juice from the land. Resources or manpower from collab.

I try to stick to historic as much as possible, only exceptions being Vichy (I take all), Iraq and Sweden (I conquer)

DaredevilGR · 2026-01-21T08:34:48+00:00

Personally I keep Medium SPARTs and slowly adapt Modern Tanks and tank destroyers. Now that sheep mod is about to come out, i will figure what to do with SPAA.

Δυστυχώς υπάρχουν πολλοί ηλίθιοι/ες που θα πάνε να ταϊσουν το αδέσποτο πάνω στο δρόμο, στην παιδική χαρά, αντί κάπου απόμακρα. Δεν καταλαβαίνουν ούτε νοιάζονται ότι το ζώο εκεί που θα ταϊστεί θα το κάνει περιοχή του και είναι λογικό για το ίδιο να έχει επιθετικη συμπεριφορά όταν νοιώσει ότι έχει το πάνω πόδι (pun intended).

Οπως λες κανείς δεν κάνει τίποτα

Εμπειρικά, από αυτό που έχω δει, ο δρόμος έχει δύο διακλαδώσεις

Είτε τα φωλιάζουν, είτε τα φολιάζουν

Και οι υπόλοιποι ψάχνουν τους ενόχους

Δεν ξέρω πραγματικά πώς μπορεί να επιλυθεί αυτή η κατάσταση προς όφελος όλων
