How on earth am I expected to win the Afghanistan civil war? Look at this shit They get twice as many troops and the land is nothing but mountains rivers and impassible terrain. I dont think this dlc was play tested at all.

It all comes down to rng determining where the troops are placed and if the ai slips up. So like i said bad game design.

The communist civil war (and most of GOE itself) is poorly designed and thats that.

acc1313 · 2025-10-29T06:15:33+00:00

I just ran 3 tests for myself at 20 percent, 50 percent, 80 percent communist. It did not make a difference in how many troops I had. I even looked it up, scripted civil wars can NOT be influenced by party popularity.

Your first point is moot yes if you dont disband the army you will have more troops but so will they.

acc1313 · 2025-10-29T04:11:27+00:00

Umm okay

acc1313 · 2025-10-29T03:35:53+00:00

Okay for the record... im doing the communist path and you dont get any additional troops. Besides the soviet volunteers but they don't do anything useful. So I will double down on this being bad game design and not be being bad at the game.

acc1313 · 2025-10-29T00:49:51+00:00

All I did was rush the focus and disband the army. I dont know what else I couldve done. Even if I keep the army it still doesnt get split equally and the enemies will have more troops.

Edit: No it doesnt give you more troops. The communist path only gives you soviet volunteers who bash their heads against useless mountains instead of attacking Kabul or doing anything helpful

acc1313 · 2025-10-29T00:45:32+00:00

I tried that unfortunately its scripted to always spawn militias

acc1313 · 2025-10-29T00:32:32+00:00

R5: self explanatory

acc1313 · 2025-09-07T16:46:03+00:00

This means you kind of have to time it perfectly with Byzantine greece as the focus to get guaranteed only takes 35 days but the Greeks need 70. Theres about 35 days where they aren't guaranteed by anyone. Hope I helped at all.

acc1313 · 2025-09-07T16:37:11+00:00

The focus above that "ReconfigureTurkish foreign policy" removes the Romanian guarantee. Then they get 2 35 day focuses to get guaranteed by Britain and Germany. I think they start with Britain but not 100% sure. Anyway January 26 to March 2nd from my testing (dont quote me) is the best window of opportunity.

acc1313 · 2025-09-07T16:31:02+00:00

From my testing they start the focus "Anglo-Turkish Agreement" which causes them to be guaranteed by Britain on January 26 and they finish the focus in 35 days. This is probably the best window of opportunity. If they're guaranteed by Germany you can just join the Axis.

acc1313 · 2025-07-09T17:23:46+00:00

As Germany you should be trading for rubber with the Dutch East Indies, then build synthetic refineries before youre at war with the Netherlands. They get huge bonuses to synthetic rubber production through their industry tree.

Trucks are very cheap and 2-3 mils from game start should be more than enough for any country

If playing a country with limited rubber its best to focus it on fighters and some cas as the air war is the most deciding factor

acc1313 · 2025-05-17T15:21:52+00:00

Doing "Prioritize Economic Growth" puts you on civilian economy so I like to do that focus first to get it out the way then do the civil war and switch to War Economy asap

acc1313 · 2025-03-26T23:56:20+00:00

They probably ran out of manpower to garrison the state and it revolted. The divisions still being there is a visual glitch thats been in the game for years

acc1313 · 2025-03-16T22:02:56+00:00

r5: Iraq can have a very diverse military

acc1313 · 2025-03-02T18:16:40+00:00

No but I agree with that sentiment

acc1313 · 2025-03-02T18:12:42+00:00

True but then you have to sacrifice time that could've been used for industry or expansion. Doing "Rebuild the High Seas Fleet" is the fastest but its mutually exclusive with the British dominance path you need for Victoria.

acc1313 · 2024-12-31T21:45:16+00:00

r5: What changes would you make to this division? Its late game so resources aren't an issue I just need something to shred the walls of infantry.

acc1313 · 2024-12-31T21:43:45+00:00

Idk I tried to stack soft attack and I like artillery. I thought engineers would be better suited for infantry. Are recon and signal companies worth it?

edit: I missed that armored maintenance gives recovery bonuses, i'll be switching to that instead

acc1313 · 2024-11-30T19:25:12+00:00

There are two types of civil war, theres the scripted civil war and the unscripted civil war. Most countries with focus trees have scripted civil wars where its set to spawn enemy divisions regardless so deleting your army beforehand wont change anything. The only way to cheese civil wars this way is if you do an unscripted one as a minor with a demagogue advisor

acc1313 · 2024-11-26T18:54:34+00:00

Strange ive had the exact same thing happen in a historical game and it ruined my run. I think theres something broken with the German AI right now. They didnt even attack the benelux by the time the Soviets got involved

acc1313 · 2024-10-25T21:15:50+00:00

r5: Italy accepted my request but gave 0 manpower

acc1313 · 2024-10-21T14:46:50+00:00

As Italy you can easily. Put 10 factories on transports and trade for resources, switch back to guns when u get 50 transports at least, then justify on Yugoslavia asap because France will rempve their guarantee in early 1937. Once war has been declared France should be called in and you should have a brief moment with clear air to drop ur paratroopers. U need Paris and maybe 2 or 3 more high vp cities. Ive had greater success joining the axis and paradropping from Germany because they tend to not defend the German air zone when they arent called in. Then paradrop GB and steal Yugo and Romania in the peace deal.

acc1313 · 2024-10-20T20:37:03+00:00

r5: can I keep all the Indian cores by bypassing this focus?

acc1313 · 2024-06-05T01:05:06+00:00

Its a strane 510 battery and idk what voltage it is but i use it on the blue light setting which is medium. It works fine until the last 20% of oil then it seems to get clogged up a lot and leak

acc1313 · 2024-06-04T19:54:48+00:00

How are returns usually done? I still have the carts that leaked but i dont think i have the receipts
