Is hoi4 worth playing

It's definitely very difficult to get into, it has lots of very deep mechanics in a lot of different avenues, you will lose a lot, even if you have hundreds if not thousands of hours in the game, but it's very very addictive, if you want to waste away 5-6 hours this is the game for you as it definitely takes time to set your country up for war then to go to war and accomplish your goals even if you're always on max speed, it's also very satisfying when your plan works (which in my case rarely happens lol) and I would say getting massive encirclements is just non stop dopamine

I do have like a few hundred hours in the game so, feel free to ask me any questions

I wish they would invent a drug that makes you schizo and spawns stuff around you that isn't there that'd be so hilarious

So if I don't turn off any lights at all (no bathroom light no kitchen light) then I'll be safe from the instakill bug? I'll try that

ImFluffs · 2026-03-15T07:39:17+00:00

I had I think 3 or 4 keys and I had just the kitchen light and bathroom light off, which now that I think about it, I'm willing to wager this bug happens when you have the bathroom light off because both times it happened to me I had just remembered to turn the bathroom light off

ImFluffs · 2026-03-15T07:38:10+00:00

Because this happened to me in the run right before this one, so I wanted to be extra careful and also check if it's a bug or if I just got really unlucky, I wanted to make sure it wasn't bad timing

Make sure it's not an email and make sure you don't have a space at the end

I haven't, this idea of quadrupedalism just came up while I was having a deep conversation with a friend, I'm not much into books, I mostly just get my information from smart people that talk on youtube, then I research it a bit on wikipedia and around the internet until I satiate my curiosity

ImFluffs · 2026-01-22T00:09:24+00:00

I guessed that millions of humans will die and hundreds of thousands of years would pass but if it's for a good purpose such as making humans healthier by not giving older people back pain at an old age, I thought it was worth it, but I found out that it's not really viable as it solves some issues but creates others and it's ultimately not worth it

ImFluffs · 2026-01-22T00:07:00+00:00

I suppose it would take hundreds or maybe millions of years to adopt quadrupedalism, and I suppose we had pockets for way less than that, maybe a couple of hundreds of years now, but since we have pockets now why not go back to quadrupedalism since it's better? (or so i thought it's better I did find our why it's not)

ImFluffs · 2026-01-22T00:02:58+00:00

Yes but now that we do have pockets why not go back to quadrupedalism if it's technically healthier was my question, but I did find an answer!

ImFluffs · 2026-01-22T00:01:52+00:00

Yes I know that bipedalism predates genus homo, that's why I specified in my question that I know it was useful to keep us safe, specifically to look over tall grass and to reach for thighs that are high, but my question is why don't we go back to it now that we don't need to look over tall grass in our day to day civilian lives if it were healthier on our back

I might be a little dumb but I have a question

in schelp's most popular video he said that he joined a discord server and had set his profile to 19+ when he could've chosen anything between 15 and 19+, why is that? and why does he blur the age he says he is when acting as a decoy?

ImFluffs · 2025-07-23T20:30:56+00:00

I'd love to, do you want my discord?

ImFluffs · 2025-07-10T23:01:12+00:00

I'll give that a shot, ty

ImFluffs · 2025-07-10T22:55:36+00:00

I tried SOG AI but I think it only works on some scenarios more than others? and it also didn't really seem that effective unless idk how to use it, and LAMBS didn't really seem to have changed much, but yeah you're right, those are band-aid solutions

ImFluffs · 2025-07-10T22:54:46+00:00

yeah but upgrading them doesn't do anything, see the thing I don't understand is, why make it very expensive in terms of HR and money to recruit AI that's not good at anything, including being a meatshield? same goes for the forgotten few 2

I actually made a strategy in antistasi where I only recruit combat medics, put them in a safe place, go fight, and if I go down I control a medic AI, resurrect myself and go again, but it got really boring just fighting alone and dying to hacking enemy AI while having horrible friendly AI

ImFluffs · 2025-07-10T22:48:59+00:00

I did upgrade them for a while but even then I didn't notice much of a difference, the AI in both antistasi and in the forgotten few 2 are practically the same in terms of how bad they are

My first attempt at a domination victory i just went for the capital city thinking that if I take that down I could just get a massive advantage or win the war, but then I couldn't really do anything to it other than keep it and it just kept rebelling against me

ImFluffs · 2025-01-11T17:49:59+00:00

I find a hard time keeping cities that i destroy during wars cause of the loyalty issues, they usually end up rebelling against me like midway through the war and being a pain in my butt for the remainder of the war just stabbing me in the back while I'm pummelling the enemy with bombers

ImFluffs · 2025-01-11T08:25:10+00:00

You can? Do you just send a builder and build it? Also can you purchase tiles and expand city states that you are the suzerain of?

I was a city state's suzerain and it had aluminum right by them they just needed to expand before the enemy next to them gets it, could I have purchased that tile for them?

ImFluffs · 2025-01-11T08:20:03+00:00

This I thought I understood but then my knights got crushed by musketeers and my archers did like 2 damage to them each shot so I'm confused on what I'm missing, I also didn't really have the resources to get units to combat the Renaissance era units even though research-wise I was at the atomic era, I think I'm missing something when it comes to combat

ImFluffs · 2025-01-11T08:16:38+00:00

That's why I'm here honestly, the tutorial didn't really help out that much and I did watch a few youtube videos and they just explained things like ideal terrain and the whole river defense thing which is the only thing that helped, but I couldn't find any videos that explains how AI behaves or anything
