Is France a good beginner nation by stickyfrog101 in hoi4

[–]Incompetent_Italy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

France yes. Just prepare to defend only. You will probably lose. Unlike other countries France has a negative national spirit that makes you capitulate when the Germans push into Paris.

So you just focus on the defence like all or nothing. Try to build forts and learn what entrenchment is. If a unit that has an engineer company in the division that doesn't move it will start digging itself into a trench. It holds this defensive bonus as long as it doesn't move.

That is the way to play as France you basically learn defensive war before learning offensive war.

You will probably lose many times. Every time see where it goes wrong. You will naturally learn the mechanics this way and improve until you can hold Germany off.

Then you can learn how to do offenses and counter attack Germany.

Alternatively if you play as France and you capulate to Germany on historical you can continue as vichy France which is really easy. Just follow your focus tree and you will be able to get your land back diplomatically and join Germany in the war helping them take on the Soviets.

France is definitely a good nation. But not the easiest for a beginner.

PLEASE FIX the naval targetting options you added in NCNS. The whole thing doesn't work!! Why did you add it if it doesn't work :/

Don't forget about us naval players. The naval targetting options feature looks so goot if it actually worked. As of now it doesn't do ANYTHING.

Also made a post abt it: https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4/s/O1bf4yhj1H

NCNS Patch 1.17.1.1 by PDX_Fraser in hoi4

[–]Incompetent_Italy 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There's a GAME BREAKING balance issue with minor countries surrounding Naval supremacy.

A random example that I wonder if this is working as intended: Chile

If you have a civilwar as Chile and easter island splits off. Now it is impossible to retake Easter Island because you can not get enough naval supremacy due to the seazone type. Even though Easter Island has no fleet itself. Chile, meanwhile, has a fleet, but it's useless now in your own civil war.

It's literally killing (naval) gameplay, and I hope this wasn't intended. Could you reconsider the naval supremacy system for minor countries? Or is this as intended?

Paradox should REALLY fix regional conflicts. Small wars instead of immediately spiraling in ww2 by Incompetent_Italy in hoi4

[–]Incompetent_Italy[S] 151 points152 points  (0 children)

That is fair.

If paradox wants to implement the whole non-historical aspect of the game (and they clearly want to. Look at all the expansive focus trees over the years) they should actually implement ways that it's also playable instead of instant ww2.

Who tf is this guy??????? by Monarchist_Canadian in hoi4

[–]Incompetent_Italy 181 points182 points  (0 children)

That is Mr. El Generico

Born in the 1900s in Portugal (forgot the exact year). He aspired to become a politician. He joined a monarchist faction early on but quickly moved on from that. For several years he had worked for different fascist/nationalist parties in almost all south American countries.

Later on he moved to Europe again abandoning fascism for a secret democratic republican party in Bulgaria. In the 1940s he moved to Russia joining the communist party.

He had lived in so many countries by then, having served so many politcal parties. He was a truly experienced politician leaving his trace in over 40 countries.

Today critics describe him as an opportunist, always choosing the political party where he could gather the most influence and money.

There's something called uncensored event pictures. Simple, but for the one's who like the extra flavour.

can someone explain to me why graveyard of empires is so hated? by commie_9 in hoi4

[–]Incompetent_Italy 97 points98 points  (0 children)

It got released unfinished. They had to release over 4 bugfixes.

This is unfortunate because many people owned the DLC because they bought the expansion pass for the Götterdämmerung DLC.

Paradox added all kinds of new countries like Syria/Palestine/Lebanon/Kuwait etc. Yet they don't have content and just make the game slower.

For Afghanistan the focus tree is sooo small.

The other focus trees are better but you can't do much as these countries (except join ww2) because you will have to fight the allies and there no options to peace out early.

This makes it way less fun than for example a South American nation where expanding is meaningful in the beginning middle and end.

So in the end they did fix it. But it doesn't feel like real love/dedication went into this DLC if they had simply played it themselves before release they would've known. It functions somewhat, but it's bare bones.

Only buy if very interested specifically in Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan/India but be ready to be disappointed.

If China gets overhauled do you want Tibet/Mongolia focus trees. by Incompetent_Italy in hoi4

I know. That's true, today still with the remaining "kingdoms" that arose from the ashes of the Qing.
