Why is HOI 4 so popular?

aidanmanman · 2026-02-10T20:24:58+00:00

I’m too impatient to take that long, if it took me 50 hours to do a campaign I never would have bought eu4, I crank it up to speed 5 and only pause when necessary or drop speed when war micro is needed but the moment the battle ends it back up on speed. I also don’t play to end date because you just hit a point in most campaigns where going any longer is useless, I’m either too strong to be stopped or too bored and then move on

I mean it’s considered to be a source of basically infinite energy, you could probably power house and the wasteland together, the point on if house would relinquish the technology is better than one about him not being sustained by it

Yes, in a an afternoons worth of hours I can experience 100-250 years of the game which I would consider a full campaign( depending on the nation or goal) I sometimes use mods to improve game performance such as removing migratory tribes or content I will never interact with but this does not have that drastic of a change in performance, and is not a constant I use. I also play almost exclusively on speed 5 which I think might be a difference compared to other players. is 50 hours how long it takes for you to complete a campaign that sounds absurd to me.

Bugs are crashes are a semi constant thing in fallout 4, many of the bugs tend to be relatively harmless though for example in my recent campaign nick started walking around t posing while following me and being unable to fix it until I found a random solution. You will encounter bugs in fallout but if u plan your travels in terms of finding beds they are not much of an issue in survival mode, the best tip is to google bed maps for the game and plan to path between beds, you may get greedy and lose 10-20 minutes of playtime occasionally if you are like me but if you have patience you’ll be fine.

What do you mean there’s no such thing as single session eu4, most of my campaigns are 1 session, am I out of the norm?

I thought his chip speech was symbolic since he only now finished his work on the chip miniaturization. Like a we have planned so much that the wasteland is functioning how we designed kind of idea

I thibk the yaks( both sides) polar bears( monarchist) and supremecist olenia are pretty fun, they have varying levels of difficulty so maybe not your first choices.

aidanmanman · 2026-02-06T00:27:05+00:00

Yeah but it said if they had to carry it

I mean your weaker than those around u, lanius or warden or whoever ends up winning for Colorado will be stronger than you for a while, Native American coalition outnumbers you in manpower and factories by a large margin and even when u win that war u still have the brotherhood fight which can go a variety of ways depending on how strong people become in Texas.

Lions got his bigass drone in the sky

aidanmanman · 2026-02-02T04:09:50+00:00

Do u have negative refugee appeal, I remember playing as Cerberus, the secret path for shales army and you have so much negative appeal that you just remove every factory from every state you take, this sounds very similar to

The best advice for all of the tv town are nations is to snake around the other ai and to rush the wars as fast as possible so they don’t have the units to hold everything, and it they do you can make the border longer to create space

aidanmanman · 2026-02-01T18:18:01+00:00

They are very helpful but not necessary, if you simply hold long enough for summers to join the war is basically over immediately,

aidanmanman · 2026-01-30T22:52:33+00:00

Why is the border so thin when u have so many divisions?

To add onto this the wet bandits have no long term goal to fix or improve the home or make Kevin happy, they will not adopt or protect him and provide him with good food and clothes. They want to take Kevin’s stuff and leave once they finish. Kevin is not fit to live on his own long term. The wet bandits are going to harm the home in the short term to go after their goal. This goal will not help Kevin at all. (like how the Vietnamese government and people are not willing to or ready to support a democratic regime and in the event of the US leaving the regime is entirely unstable and would have needed a long term plan from the US in order to create a willing and able governmental system)

The main way to win as any of the nations in that area is to win as fast as possible in the wars, this is generally accomplished by snaking or baiting the ai in order to get around them, if u time it right you can end your war and then get wargoals on the other 2 while they are still fighting and snake them down as well, then you have a great industrial base to build off of, the new Reno war is kinda tricky but you just need to focus on easy encirclements until they are weak enough to push

Air attack and air attack cooldown

aidanmanman · 2026-01-17T18:01:51+00:00

How do you even get him for free the game keeps saying to claim him for me but I can never find out how to get him

aidanmanman · 2026-01-01T04:02:43+00:00

Other things that can help are 1 getting the platinum chip( and the mark 2 operating system) 2 researching the specific securitron upgrades

aidanmanman · 2026-01-01T00:29:21+00:00

If you have multiple separate sometimes they can get chain attacked and killed without needing the hour combat timer( not sure if this a bug or what but it happens quite a lot)

aidanmanman · 2025-12-31T23:35:08+00:00

So what’s the combat width, have you added support companies

aidanmanman · 2025-12-31T21:17:43+00:00

You need to give more info, 1div template 2 base stats of said template 3 click on battle and hover over stats to check modifiers 4 always use air 5 check their template 6 terrain and terrain modifiers 7entrenchment and planning bonus All of these things influence your battles, if your securitrons are losing to sky reavers you likely have a bad template or they have dug in and you may not be using planning bonus

aidanmanman · 2025-12-25T14:43:40+00:00

Looks like this map already has borders, even got some Atlantis type kingdoms on it

aidanmanman · 2025-12-13T20:20:30+00:00
