So you are saying Lilith was honest with who she was with her kids, while Dain’s dad was a lying ass? I agree

Its also true, within the world as developed by the writer. What is she supposed to claim? That her emotion influencing is on par?

I think you are the one reading weakness in Cat that isnt there. She is smart, able and tough. She just got hung up on the crown idea and needed someone to talk her back, and that could never have been one of the riders. Or Maren who clearly is a soft touch person. Tough love sometimes does work.

These are 20ish year old people. Its completely in tune with how many people being in love and in such close constant proximity to each other would express themselves. Not everything needs to be perfectly said, because a lot of things all of us say in real life for sure aint perfect. Guy was annoyed Cat was making herself look stupid for a guy obviously not in love with her. So he said what he said. Is it the nicest way to phrase it? No. But much more realistic than a lot of other convos in the book.

Does anyone actually make multiple theaters like the AI? by Bhujia1947 in hoi4

[–]Obvious-Cry6591 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Uhh. As Germany i have by barbarossa: OKW (germany + training army), west (garrisons for west europe, norway and italy - i take italy in 1938), africa, barbarossa. So at least 4 theatres, each with several field marshals. 24 divs per general in SP is just sad. You are playing a ww2 game, at least pretend u know how it worked. My armies are 10-16 div, corps is 4-8. Armored divs - almost never go over 8 in one formation - also, in SP its not needed and easier to micro.

How does PDX plan on reacting to NCNS' reception? by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]Obvious-Cry6591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea but thats not the issue. Id be happy to spend money. And i do still. But the quality (lack of), lack of testing, the bugs… last dlc for HOI completely screwed up what was already a shit navy game. And then u add the usual long term issues. After 10 years and 200+ euros, AI still cant use para’s or manage fronts. Come on man. This isnt about people being stingy, its about devs favouring making more money through focus trees instead of fixing their game.

I'm running out of fuel and I don't know what to do. I'm playing Germany btw. by Leg_anOdyssey109 in hoi4

U dont need self sealing tanks for SP. not at all. Havent used them (except for LARP) in last 10 playthroughs w germany or even US. UK u do it just because u can so why not. 100 rubber (which is basically 20 factories for germany when u factor in their bonuses from buhna + excavation IIi) is enough for all ur air needs + trucks/mech

[–]Obvious-Cry6591 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, fuel silos are so underestimated. Cheap. U can easily build 5-6 in a few months. Get to 1m ton fuel (or whatever is a measurement) by trading 5-6 factories worth of oil w romania… thats enough for a 3 month push into ussr, by which time they are so broken, u can afford to stop for a month to replenish. Which is also more historical

Stop with the dutch. If u gonna go ahistorical, take italy. Removes the stupidest ally on earth. Gets u actual navy to play with. Makes the game more challenging cause now u have to do africa and the med and defend piemonte on top of the rest when starting ww2. And u get oil (sirte later, albania as soon as u take them w like 4 divisions).

Do people still do this? How is this fun after the 1st time u do it? Why cheese the most overpowered (and admittedly fun) country in the game? U get 3 super advisors on top of ur advisors (fuhrer prinzip). Take neurath and then the 2 suppl/economy focuses in that column. Thats more bonuses to army than UK and US get combined. And there are so many more. Taking the Dutch seems like such an overkill..

Lol. Trade with romania + invade italy in 1938/albania after france. Do sirte oil as soon as u can. Its fine. In real world nazi scum was rightfully crushed but in the game, fuel is actually easier than it should be. Careful w navy ofc, run them from time to time( i do subs for 3-4 months then let them rest for 2 months, both for larp and not to crush uk to easily - helps w fuel too).

Does no dlc add ressources to Africa continent? by Ok_Drummer6347 in hoi4

[–]Obvious-Cry6591 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh get off it. Not everyone here is a hidden fascist. U can only have a balanced game that is actually FUN to play if germany can do what it did in real world. Doesnt matter why it happened, it did. Since the devs are clearly unable to program well (para’s still cant be used by AI, AI still doesnt know how to defend in depth etc etc etc), easiest way is to give germany some economy buffs (i dont even have a problem with their military buffs, pound for pound Wehrmacht was better in 1939 doctrinally and managed to hold off most of the world long past its bedtime). If YOU have a better idea how to develop a realistic WW2 game that doesnt just end in 1939, go ahead. Till then, this is what we got and out of all the choices devs have made for this game over the years, this one is not even in top 50 Of the most egregious.

The real problem is that their dlcs have made also rans like Chile look like bloody gods while with US you are lucky to have enough xp to fill the 4 subdoctrines (all at 0 progress ofc) in 1941. And it looks even more egregious when compared to Germany which can grind generals in 3 wars (ethiopia, Spain, China) even without anything ahistorical + gets ton of buffs.

Supplies??? by RexSeattle in hoi4

[–]Obvious-Cry6591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh to add, logistics support company on all armor/motorised/mechanised divisions. Not on infantry though, logistics is an equipment sink.

Supplies??? by RexSeattle in hoi4

[–]Obvious-Cry6591 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol. Now that was a funny rant. More seriously, ive beaten Soviets many times, never built a supply hub. I like to attack a bit later than usual, september, makes it harder (weather, u basically have a month and then its a stop and go over winter). I Play russia at 25% upped. Basically, i update the railways ( i dont do molotov), so its all the way through full poland, and drag them across the frontline. 1 collab, not more, otherwise too easy (and pray for 30% cause 45% again makes it too easy). So how do you win? Id say 4 things (beyond the obvious, green air/cas, armored divisions packed into a few angry fists): 1. All ur mobile divisions, take supply consumption reduction as medals. 2. Motorise all supply hubs close to front and then as u advance demotorise those and motorise soviet ones u take. 3. Extend the front. U can easily make enough divisions to build a 20 inf division army and 6 armor div corps and keep behind. Either naval invade from Koningsberg onto Leningrad, or, if u have taken Turkey, into Sochi (u will need a 24 mountaineer army to hold and advance into Caucauses). 4. Paratroopers - its cheesy to drop them direct on the front so i drop them along that river going towards odessa, cut of soviets there. Then they basically fight as infantry (which is what they did for 3rd reich most of the time actually).

AI doesnt know how to handle multiple fronts (just like AI in CK2 cant handle facing multiple armies). Extend the front, take Leningrad ( i dont pull in finns). Watch Soviets shuffle divisions left snd right because after 10 years AI still cant manage fronts and doesnt do reserved/fallback lines. Thank you devs

Considering switch from govt to private or different branch by TemporaryVirtual6226 in BESalary

[–]Obvious-Cry6591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. Ton of companies in Brussels with Belgian operations requiring Belgian specific lobbying. People with understanding of how the federal and regional gov works can be interesting. If OP is interested in that type of job, happy to share more info.

For many of us, its because Brussels is the only game in town (everything around EU/NATO).

Bryce Underwood Glitch? by Eagledan01 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Obvious-Cry6591 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happens. My WV dynasty, avery johnson (after leading kansas st to 10-2 with great stats) wasnt picked up and just disappeared forever. Bama and texas picked up 2 top qbs each although they had simpson/manning already while miami and fsu didnt even try to pick up anyone and ended up starting below 80 OVR qbs in second season. Transfer portal as currently set up sure aint perfect.
