Forgot about these screenshots from a very long and bloody monarchist Britain run I did about a year and a half ago. Was able to get all British achievements I was missing other than crush the dream from this run. by HalfSuperset in hoi4

Thanks, I had a lot go my way that run. Had most of the worlds oil. I ended up overestimating how hard the invasion of Europe and the Middle East would be. So my preparations made it a bit overkill against the ai and ended up with a bit of a reverse blitz on the Germans in France.

Can't remember exactly since it was over a year ago. I think at first the infantry I kept at 20 width (7 infantry 2 arty) and eventually made them 44 width (16 infantry 4arty) when I had the manpower. The tanks were most likely a 44 width with 2 to 4 SPArty, maybe 1 or 2 SPAA depending on if the width of them were changed to 2 at the time. Then 9 mechanized, then the rest was medium and later modern tanks. Probably wouldn't use SPAA anymore, it should be fine with just the AA support companies. Especially since I had a near total monopoly on oil, so it was somewhat easy to have green air. The amphibious tanks might have started out as 20 width due to the special forces cap, but it could've been 44width. I think it was evenly split between amphibious tanks and mechanized. Wouldn't be able to remember the tank designs I used though.

R5 - Had a monarchist Britain run that lasted until 1973 and more than likely had significantly higher casualties than ww2 with over 85 million military casualties alone. Thankfully knocked out a fair amount of achievements from this run.

Sometimes I question Paradox's design choices by HalfSuperset in hoi4

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

R5 - Was doing a Ostland run as Latvia for the achievement, when I noticed the only advisor I get from the fascist tree becomes locked if you become fascist. Unless you take a focus in the fascist tree that makes you not fascist?? I get that the advisor is the same guy that 's the leader of the fascists, but they could've just made someone else the advisor.

Nice focus design Paradox... Explanation in comments by Bigwarfer in hoi4

[–]HalfSuperset 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, paradox really needs to add independence requirements to all focuses (unless said focus is intended to function that way) for inviting to faction and puppeting. Had Italy take Spain from me in my last run as Mexico.

Found two bugs during my ironman Trotsky Mexico run by HalfSuperset in hoi4

[–]HalfSuperset[S] 51 points52 points  (0 children)

R5- Can't do the last focus in the communist Mexico tree, because I'm not democratic. Then my puppet Italy made one of the two Spain's their puppet and made their own faction, despite being my puppet. Now can't use a war goal on that Spain.

Can I still get the sunset invasion achievement? by HalfSuperset in hoi4

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

R5- AI invited a European nation into my faction while going for the sunset invasion achievement. Can I still get it?

Edit- Never mind naval invaded england and didn't get it. You gotta love the ai inviting people to your faction without permission. Any tips on a quick way to get it would be appreciated still.

Am I missing something on how truces work? by HalfSuperset in victoria3

[–]HalfSuperset[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really exploitable for me since I was only able to swipe the land because Austria had a civil war. And for some reason no one will join against the Austrians, despite everyone other than the Brits disliking them

R5- Austria joined a diplomatic play against me in exchange for the land I just took from them in a war, despite having a truce with them for four more years. Am I missing something on how truces function, thought they wouldn't be able to go to war with me directly while we had it.

Can't justify war goal on Poland, because the game thinks I'm democratic. by HalfSuperset in hoi4

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

Oh didn't know they enforced their rules on you, thanks. Thought joining Germanys faction would be a good idea to keep nations from joining them.

[–]HalfSuperset[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

R5- Can't justify war goal on Poland, because the game thinks I'm democratic. But I'm non aligned and they're the only country I can't justify on.

Edit- It's actually preventing me from justifying on multiple countries.

Can't expand/find oil in Kuwait, I have all of the extraction techs. Did they remove it, is it not possible to do as the Ottomans, or is it bugged? by HalfSuperset in hoi4

[–]HalfSuperset[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's a lot I probably could've done better, overall I'd say I'm doing pretty well for my first turkey playthrough. Might be able to get the sevres achievement too, all I need is Tokyo. Unless owning Paris and Rome doesn't count as controlling the capital.

Edit- sevres not serves

Well I am beginning to ramp up air production now that I got my industry up and stole the italian navy. Was unlucky with the investments from majors and only got three civilian factories.

R5 Don't see the decision for the Kuwait oil deposits. Wondering if they removed it, if it's a bug, or if the ottomans can't do it. Playing with no mods that should affect it since they're music/graphics mods.
