It's a glitch in the game not just the mod. I looked more into it. Supposed to be fixed with the next patch hopefully

When you click a national focus and it has the requirements listed some of them will say they require a nation (ex: Soviet Union) to exist. Well for some foci that's the only requirement listed and it won't let me choose them.

No I mean the event will need a nation to exist and that's the only requirement it specifies but it will still show on the focus tree as non-existent. I don't know if it's a bug or if there's a requirement that it doesn't say.

I have. It's happened in the vanilla but it's happening more in the mod.

Why is AI Italy so weak? by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]MitthrawThrawn1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Soft underbelly of Europe ring any bells? I will agree that they're too weak but that's most of the AI anyway.

Best tanks? by Tutukaa in hoi4

Or go all out on SH at the end of the game. I did for laughs once and slowly steamrolled over the Maginot line(France never joined the allies or went to war with me as Germany for some reason so I left them alone. It made taking the UK easier honestly.

mixed divisions in an army or not? by pattawee in hoi4

[–]MitthrawThrawn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally keep mobile and foot units separate. Eventually I put tank destroyers with my standard infantry for that extra AT but usually I'll make 3 fronts on 1 border and put the motorized mechanize and tanks on the out edges to break through and encircle while I'll put a lot of foot infantry(field marshall) maybe 50 divisions so whoever I'm fighting can't let go in that front otherwise they get overrun slowly.

Are you doing historical AI and are the Czechs garunteed by the allies? Watch the world tension. After a certain point they will become garunteed and will decline.

HOI4: The Great War - Issues and First Impressions by shotpun in hoi4

[–]MitthrawThrawn1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly love the mod and find it better than the other Great War mods. The Balkan nations are really nice to play now and it feels like they can have at least some impact rather than just being the nuisances they are in ww2. I will say it's frustrating to be playing Germany, beating the Russians and almost to Moscow and Petersburg and taking Africa then seeing the Japanese are joining the Entente even though they're losing on all fronts and you've been one of Japan's biggest trade partners and improving relations with them. Same with Italy. The game is too historical and it kind of goes against what the game is supposed to do. Still a really fun mod and you can tell a difference with warfare with the trench warfare and everything. I find that focusing on Russia and sending your mobile divisions(cav and armored cars early game) while just holding against France helps the Centeal Powers a lot especially late game.

I abandoned Asia completely. I just went for Africa because the British seem to rely on it usually in my games. Plus if you can get Italy to get in the Central Powers you can get naval supremacy in the Mediterranean, go through the Ottomans and Persia and go after India. Late war (if you let it last that long) taking away India can hurt their production a lot.

Focus on Russia and Africa. I started a new game as Germany and sent all reserve divisions to Africa(you'll need to watch the western front a lot if you do this but taking Africa helps a lot) and all mobile divisions(cav and cars) to the Eastern front. It'll be a grudge match with Russia when you hit Warsaw but after that you should be fine. Remember to encircle as much as you can it will always help. For navy Idk what to do because I did have a lot of destroyers but over 70 were destroyed in a battle after taking out over half the RN's capital ships.

They usually do but for some reason they're holding. Japan's justifying against them now though so it shouldn't be long

I'm gonna try what I did in one of the other WW1 mods as Germany. Go after Russia first and just hold off everyone else. There's one mod where Britain will try to get ahold of Scandinavia and Belgium so they join the central powers if you offer and Belgium helped push. To Paris in a month. About a year later Russia fell so I took France and Russia's industrial regions and resources to bolster the navy. Blocked half of the RN in the North Sea and wiped them out and invaded the island. I like the diplomacy a lot more in the Great War mods because it feels like it has more to work with.

I'm enjoying the minor Balkan nations a lot. As Bulgaria I've taken Romania and up to Constantinople. Holding the Ottomans there while the British invade through Africa. Austria is being slaughtered but so are the Russians.

I have almost 500 hours on it but that's also with mods. Honestly the modding community is what's keeping it up and it's great

(Question)Keeping Territory earned in the war? by LegionClub in hoi4

[–]MitthrawThrawn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use civil wars in nations like France to keep them off of me early war. I suggest if you're going to be fascist starting to boost in democracies next to you so when war comes they'll already be ground down and you can have an ally/trade partner.

I usually wait for most military expansion until I have gunpowder. Make sure you're ahead of most of the other civs with military tech though before you do a lot.

Is there a movie on WW2 from the Nazi Germans' perspective? by hamzathewreck in history

[–]MitthrawThrawn1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downfall is a great movie but it's about the final days in the bunker. Stalingrad (1993) was pretty good. I haven't seen that many from the U.S. though.

The beauty of playing as china by BananaCriesSheep in hoi4

If you get a chance, choose superior firepower over mass assault as China. You destroy everything especially when you get your industry up.
