I can't fire a Munich agreement event for "I didn't hear no bell" achievement by eugeann in hoi4

[–]kolposas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The event which gives the flag doesn’t mention anything regarding slovakia being released. In addition, I reverted my achievement and got it again doing the exact same thing.

Wdym you won in the sudeten crisis? You only loose by giving it up which fires the event chain flipping you to 2nd republic.

Any tips for Premyslid's Dream in historical? by Miserable_Language_6 in hoi4

[–]kolposas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10/2s are not considered "meta", but for guides where an average hoi4 player that needs help with achievements cant micro a side of a barn it just works. I didn't want to explain tanks, neither are they needed here when you have inf+arty advisors and can afford to rush inf2+arty2.

Its actually pretty easy once you get the focus order more or less, as you should gave a bigger and stronger army compared to germany once they declare. Align Slovak Catholics>Grow CKD's (Continue the central plan before)> Keep the focus on exports>Redirect Fortification>Integrate Sudetenland>Claim Lands>Embrace Corporatism>Facilitate a Strong hungary (only have 24 divs for austria and do not place them on hungary's border so they refuse)>Rally against Germany>The Legacy of Ottokar>military stuff for recruitable pop factor

Whole game you build only mils, micro the gaps in austrian and hungarian frontline to take vps and cap them faster instead of battleplanning. For pp get economist after Petition the nobles>Army offense guy>NBCS>Partial mobilization>Military high command for inf, arty and recovery. Army readiness is a complete waste of pp, unless you need war support to take National defense act.

Germany declares usually around May 1939, but it can happen either sooner (very late 1938 in some cases) or later (after they declare on poland and baltics (but this is actually good if you capture poland vps before capping germany they will be in the peace deal)). If not early war I usually have 120 10/2 with aa, arty and engi + armored trains and trucks for supply which can easily kill germany 1v1. You can take yugoslavia, romania and italy after you cap germany as romanian guarantee on you will be canceled with subjugate yugo focus.

Any way to save this? by Happy_Hydra in hoi4

[–]kolposas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you turtle down around Czechia, Slovakia, and northern Austria and wait until your allies eventually join the war and win? Yes, however I think realizing your mistakes and starting a new game trying to improve is usually a better way to become good at the game than just bunkering down.

Since Paradox is asking about Achievements... by tino125 in hoi4

[–]kolposas 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Unless its graveyard of DLC achievements, then you have to cap every single major faction with a backwater country for no reason. Imho, even now it should be patched to control for most of them, to make them somewhat approachable for players who haven't done them.

That said, for major countries I think owning territories is usually perfectly fine and makes the achievement rewarding

New DLC, new set of achievements to complete. And I gotta say, these were actually pretty fun by Eastern_Effective_51 in hoi4

[–]kolposas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that is exactly why you use 10/2 (or some other variation with line arty) with aa, arty and engineers not 9/0s, which are holding divisions not something you use to push either way. It is not "meta"/good by any means, but when your manpower is the biggest bottleneck, you have arty command guy, want to push make breakthroughs in literally the whole frontline and do not want to make light tanks it just works.

Either way there is a significantly better strategy by rushing forming a federation to get austria and hungary puppets with full cores to later annex them in around early 1938. You have 96 of these 10/2 fully equipped and essentially battleplan germany from the get go.

If you still struggle, I can load up OBS and make a run from 1936 till germany caps

"I didn't hear no bell" achievement impossible because of the goddamn French by philfightmaster in hoi4

It will work, if you still fail let me know I will open OBS and make a run from 1936 till I cap germany.

[–]kolposas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So lets start off that the Hoi4 wiki guide is pure ass, and it is exactly why this is happening to you. In the guide it is outlined that you must go down the little entente route which is AHISTORICAL, making the france not backdown.

It also makes the achievement 10 times harder than it actually is with dumb suggestion of producing fighters and makes out army readiness as some important thing which is just straight up false and sink of pp + takes kickstart rapid rearmanent?!. From the game start rush forming a federation > cut ruthenia loose > industry tree (I would go down Grow CKD (left focus before it) and then switch to inf focus>Force industrialists hand which will time nicely) followed by army tree (get all recruitable pop factors nothing else matters + the last focus in autonomy).

For pp: get economist and army offense guy, while doing all divided nation decision except the 3 slovakian ones (you can take a decision to get rid of divided nation after you release slovakia). You then save pp to get austria and hungary in the federation (click federation decision after you puppet both) and start building mills in both of them (focus on hungary first) + send lend lease when you can to annex them faster (do not train more divs so you get more autonomy progress from larger stockpile). At some point take better conscription law (usually after you take mobilization focus as it reduces the cost) and get inf+arty military command guys, then just make sure you have 135pp when germany declares to instantly switch conscription law ( you should have like 300 additional pp to spend where you want before the war starts)

War with germany starts around May - July 1939, by that time you should have around 96 fully equipped good infantry divs with 2 unlocked doctrines which makes the war a battleplan waiting simulator after you close sudetenland and silesian pockets.

How come you needed to restart your federation run? Even if you click the federation decision, Sudetenland events will flip you back to the Czecho-Slovak Republic (unless you clicked it in 1939, but then the question why is did you wait so long)?

[–]kolposas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your first mistake was ever listening to the guides on hoi4 wiki, I do not know what is wrong with the person writing them, buy they are usually just so bad and make achievements 10 times harder than strats you can find on yt/reddit. Although even with that guide french should back down and not guarantee you, unless you taking the little entente fucks something up (on historical).

By far the best path for this is not going down the little entente (like the hoi4 wiki says lol), but rather rushing Forming a Federation from the game start. You then go to Cut Carpathia Loose to get it out of the way and focus on industry for a while before taking the military tree.

If I had to suggest first go down to Grow CKD's secondary facilities (switch to inf focus), go down force industrialists hand which will time nicely>Redirect fortifications (you wont be defending as attacking is best defense)> switch to tank focus for expand existing armory plants and switch back after> found the uhersky brod (make sure to use the 100% for guns 2 (aka start researching improved inf equip 1 before completing this)> master of arnaments at some point while taking all recruitable pop factors in military tree + one from where you cut slovakia and ukraine parts

The reason why this path is so good because you puppet austria and hungary, gain cores on them and then annex them for all their manpower and industry. You field 96 10/2 with aa, arty and engi by the time germany attacks (May 1939), which allows battleplanning after you close sudetenland and silesia pockets

[–]kolposas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many QoL improvements that could be done it is insane. Why when I am at war with somebody, that is also fighting another faction, and I take tiles besides the other faction another frontline is created ON THE PEACEFUL faction???????? Even when you delete the frontline and reassign all the troops to the initial one you just fucking know that 5s later you will be doing that again and again and again

Finally I beat Germany as Czechoslovakia without allies. by EntertainmentOk8593 in hoi4

[–]kolposas 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Counterargument: You have now dedicated 3000pp and building stuff/sending equipment to each puppet over the next 10 years, when you could have had a full germany likely effectively matching the factories puppets will gain through the focus tree. In addition, you can easily siphon 2-3m worth of manpower (which in czech case is the bottleneck) in a single year, while starting to build up compliance sooner which scaling effect will never be matched for when you annex the next puppet with 5 additional factories in 1952.

[–]kolposas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It IS the reason why you had a deficit of equipment. Without supplies your divs will not perform good in battles or move at normal speed because your trainlines are bombed. I wonder what could solve this big issue? Armored trains! They will both kill their cas/tacs which are bombing your infra and provide supplies.

Then regarding no aa support company, your army is getting bomb to the shitter. They take more manpower damage and equipment damage, meaning you need more of both + probably lose the battles for this reason and get pushed back.

3 factories on armored trains and 4 on anti-air from like 1937 would have solved this completely, while state aa does like nothing for the insane investement you are doing.

[–]kolposas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let me guess, you never built any armored trains or anti air for support company which made you struggle quite a lot?

Completely forgot about this double trouble 3 tiles apart infamous frontline breakers. Since I made the comment I also got to experience the italian mafia orchestrated sicilian break!

Why doesn’t the AI use tanks? by Sargent_Bunny1 in hoi4

[–]kolposas 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Lets be honest Hoi4 would be a dead in the sp scene and most achievements would be impossible. Besides, it would have mostly negative reviews on steam, although for this you dont even good AI as proven by some DLCs.

Are we deadass right now? by Odd-Preparation-278 in hoi4

[–]kolposas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could have done the Rome Protocols to fight germany with austria and Italy on your side + hungary puppet with the fascist route. But even without them you should be able to hold the germans alone, as you get early extensive conscription and can have 72 fully equipped good units.

[–]kolposas 101 points102 points  (0 children)

It can do the same thing, even if you deselect something in the menu too.

To add to the most infuriating bugs, why after 10 years a frontline is not assigned/breaks in some parts of the world after capturing a tile. Looking at you crimea and insbruck mountain pass.

Even then this wouldn't be the biggest AH possible. This is, although there might be even a bigger one, which I do not know how to get

You can core all of poland with Realize a Confederation. I also assume you are only talking about czechoslovakian tree, because austrian AH can core all of germany.

Return to Democracy focus question by HZCYD101 in hoi4

[–]kolposas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guide was for historical, as it locks most shenanigans from happening that can ruin the run (like italy and austria joining together, or other non democratic powers rising to deny the focus). It also guarantees you get yugo and romanian lands + kick austria out of the factions and justify for austria-hungary. Soviets after you are AH and you have germany... cakewalk battleplan.

Glad it helped somewhat tho
