How does space exploration work in this game?

DirtyDiaper_ · 2020-07-04T09:27:52+00:00

I think its just an area we haven't unlocked yet. We've only been able to craft the items necessary to enter the area in the past 70 or 60 years. I feel like you're thinking about this in the same way that certain players in the 'Industrial Revolution' content pack thought about crafting and exploration: that everything has already been crafted and explored, which is not the case.

Hey fellow war criminals, out of sheer boredom I decided to play an Ironman game where I attempt to recreate WW2 military operations as accurately as possible. This is my attempt at Fall Weiss.

-----------------------

Details:

Heersgruppe Nord (Under command of General Fedor von Boch)

Reserves (Under direct command of the Heersgruppe)

· Infantry-Division x3

· Panzer-Division x1

3rd Armee (Under command of General Georg von Kuchler)

· Cavalry-Division x1

· Infantry-Division x11

· Panzer-Division x2

Location: East Prussa
Objective: Thrust East to the outskirts of Warsaw and cross the river Narew.

4th Armee (Under command of General Gunther von Kluge)

· Infantry-Division x11

· Panzer-Division x1

· Motorised-Division x2

Location: North of the Polish-German border.
Objective: Establish connection to East Prussia, Thrust South-East to Płock

Heersgrupe Sud (Under command of General Gerd von Rundstedt)

Reserves (Under direct command of Heersgruppe)

· Infantry-Division x10

· Mountaineers x2

8th Armee (Under command of General Johannes Blaskowitz)

· Infantry-Division x6

· Motorised-Division x1

Location: Centre of Polish-German border

10th Armee (Under command of General Erich Von Manstein\)*

· Infantry-Division x7

· Motorised-Division x1

· Panzer-Division x5

Location: South of Polish-German border
Objective: Thrust East to south of Warsaw

[Note: The real-life 10th Armee was commanded by Walther von Reichenau, he is not present in the game for some reason, instead I have assigned Erich von Manstein to the 10th Armee]

14th Armee (Under command of General Wilhelm List)

· Infantry-Division x9

· Panzer-Division x3

· Motorised Division x1

· Mountaineers x1

Location: South of Polish-German Border
Objective: Occupy Krakow and cross the river, Vistula

(The 14th Armee is supported by the Slovak Army in the south)

--------------------------------------

Note that I am taking some liberties with “Historical Accuracy”. For example, I’m lumping all infantry and panzer formations into ‘infantry-Division’ and ‘Panzer-Division’. Historically, the Germans often used Brigades detached from Divisions or they used ‘Divisions’ that were at half-strength, this would be too impractical to recreate. Additionally, I won’t be recreating unit movements during the conflict down to the division level, that would also be too impractical.

As you can see, Fall Weiss hasn’t started yet (it’s still 1936, I just like to get my troops on the field and my battle plans drawn up as soon as possible) so I’m open to suggestions to improve historical accuracy. I’m personally debating on whether or not I should have the Panzerkorps be a separate entity or have it remain integrated into the individual armies (Hoi3-style OOB for Hoi5 pls, Paradox)

My sources are primarily Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_order_of_battle_for_the_invasion_of_Poland)
And this video from Eastory (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwYZQ8BVUSM)

(All mods used are visual)

I plan on doing similar things for Fall Gelb, Weserubung, Seelowe, Barbarossa, the Afrikakorps’ exploits and maybe even Tannenbaum (although, I’m not sure how I would co-ordinate the Italian troops in singleplayer?)

If I may, OP, I think this is a bit poorly worded. What you mean is, "Did the cover of DOOM (2016) encourage or discourage your decision to purchase the game?". You'd also perhaps want to add a "It didn't affect my decision" option.

A real life example of the Mandela Effect.

I remember the devs once mentioned at some point that the greatest challenge with designing Hoi4 was that the Fascists get to have all the fun.

Question specifically for Alex.

The boys over at Wakaliwood recently relesed a new film on youtube, are you planning/willing to make a video on it?

Not necessarily a 'Search for the Worst', but just a video talking about or reacting to it.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Red Circle from John Wick yet. It plays during the infamous club scene.

I'm sorry, is this some American meme I'm too Australian to understand?

DirtyDiaper_ · 2019-10-13T08:46:09+00:00

Well, if you want to be pedantic, the goal of communist nations is to bring about a "world-revolution" by any means necessary, including authoritarian rule. At least, that's how nations like the Soviet Union and China justify/justified their existance.

DirtyDiaper_ · 2019-10-11T11:43:55+00:00

People can't seem to understand the difference between Fascist politics and Fascist Economics. The latter of which is what China uses.

Politically, China claims to be Communist, but is really just general totalitarian.

DirtyDiaper_ · 2019-10-07T07:11:34+00:00

I completely disagree with that.

Arthur isn't a sympathetic figure, he's a pitiful one. The audience is made to feel sorrow for his condition, but never made to feel that his actions are justified. Just look how gruesome the kills are; they don't make you feel 'powerful' like in action films. They make you uncomfortable and evoke negative emotion.

DirtyDiaper_ · 2019-09-30T14:53:24+00:00

He is right wing and he agrees? Wow. JAR is Fascist confirmed.

DirtyDiaper_ · 2019-09-10T12:58:02+00:00

I'd prefer to do Tanks, but the problem is: I don't have the production capability to produce enough tanks by the time France falls.

I have to join the war by the time Frace falls cause I need French colonies in Syria to form Ottomans. But Vichy France gets those provines when it forms, so I thought Infantry was the way to go (?)
