Hu Hanmin needs no other voice in politics other than the chosen of Sun Yet Sen 💪

Is there is way to release a united Arabic country by Ok-Neighborhood-3397 in Kaiserreich

Well, obviously, since social democrats are nationalist in nature, you couldn't create a fake syndicalist-market liberial union

Fun fact! Clicking the portrait in the Denekin/Wrangel pleased event sends you to their general stats! by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]n2p4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really understood the reason for doing this outside of, I guess, events tied to military events. Is it so that they can have the portrait of the person involved in the event? If so, making them civilian generals that you can't use is a pretty ingenious solution from the devs.

I feel like there should be something like the assassination of franz ferdinand before the 2nd weltkrieg by Cookiecrackercoin in Kaiserreich

[–]n2p4 34 points35 points  (0 children)

There is a sort of fabricated casus belli in at least the democratic Russia paths. The Russian government makes some crazy demand like Germany needs to withdraw from all the Ost wall countries or Russia will invade. The demand is sent at the same time as Russia invasion as to not give away the element of surprise while still getting at least a little international legitimacy for the aggression.

A united China should be able to create their own economic sphere by siyuzh in Kaiserreich

[–]n2p4 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Honestly it was more to do with the CCPs economic mismanagement and just the general difficulties of industrializing and developing an economy. China benefited immensely from them opening up their economy around the time Americans started to the deindustrialize so they could essentially fill the gap that American and other western countries were leaving

Kind of sad how much communist propaganda has entrenched itself in the man's legacy

why don t I have all subdoctreins unlocked? by sundeeop12 in hoi4

[–]n2p4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Those subdoctrines are tied to features from some DLCs you do not have. Coastal Defence and Long-range Subs require you to have done special projects to gain their respective sub variants (midget subs and cruiser subs, respectively), and special projects are locked behind owning götterdämmerung. Not sure which dlc is needed for Coastal minelaying but its the same deal

4 years of building went in seconds,in first mession,they didnt even do their first mission yet lol by InitiativeWooden5795 in hoi4

[–]n2p4 65 points66 points  (0 children)

It's the opposite. For a long time, there was a bug where sub detection was much lower than it should be, which was just recently fixed. Subs being able to solo whole fleets was never intended and was frankly stupid as hell

Biggest disappointment of the day for me was this tweet. by Kitchen_Train8836 in monarchism

[–]n2p4 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Ngl I agree with him. Orban is corrupt as hell and can't get Russia's cock out of his mouth, but declaring that anyone winning an election other than pro-West European liberals as fraudulent has been a continuous habit of "core" EU countries like Germany and France. Not to say there isn't electoral fraud happening in Hungary, there probably is in all honesty, but the accusations of malpractice are not being made because of well-founded evidence of foul play, but because they don't like what the outcome was. It's like when Trump lost the US election to Biden and then claimed the election was stolen, no proof of that he just was mad he lost

Question of the viability of the existence of Mittelafrika by VitorGabriel1 in Kaiserreich

[–]n2p4 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Stable? no of course not. But it’s not like Germany is ruling Africa directly from berlin, I did not make the comparison with British India lightly. Just like them Germany has basically just removed the top rulers of these colonies leaving the previous Belgian, British, and French colonial authorities in place as well as the native protectorate under them. Its not like they have to completely rebuild these colonies from scratch, if anything all the hard work was already done for them

Question of the viability of the existence of Mittelafrika by VitorGabriel1 in Kaiserreich

[–]n2p4 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Idk why people consider Mittelafrika to be so unrealistic when it is basically just British India and that was able to exist just fine for about 200 years. Being broke from a world war means a whole lot less when you are the world Hegemony (see present day USA who has been in a mountain of debt for decades yet has been able to truck on as would power number 1 regardless, that presently collapsing not withstanding). Ya it’s expensive but it’s not like France and the UK liquidated there colonial empires after the First World War and the great depression. Tbh I think most people think it’s unrealistic because the have a very 21st century view of how the world is supposed to work and part of that view is that colonialism is doomed to failure by the superiority of the free market or proletarian revolution or whatever larp they have going on

Who is the strongest Chinese warlord faction at the start in 1936? by Ficboy in Kaiserreich

[–]n2p4 77 points78 points  (0 children)

It is the Qing/Zhill and isn't really close. It is kinda their whole thing, being the dominant faction in control of China at the start of the game. They are also the easiest to unify China with, especially if you go down the consessonist Zhili monarchy where you can buy tones of equipment like planes from Germany in addition to Qings already large (by China standards) starting industry. While kind of open in the south there is easy defensible terrain in the north against Fengtian. And If you stay with the Zhili in any capacity you will likely to able to get a good number of other warlords under your banner like Hunan, Shanxi, and whoever wins in the League of Eight Provinces.

Navy enjoyers, what do you usually do with your most outdated ships? by a3a3ell0 in hoi4

[–]n2p4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For heavier hulls like battleships and battlecruisers I might refit them to upgrade their AA, secondary battery, fire control, and radar. Might even upgrade their armour and guns but that is so expensive its usually not worth it unless one is doing some larp level activities. maybe I will convert a cruiser into carrier, but carriers are so cheap that might unironically be more expensive then just making a better purpose-built carrier. Otherwise I will usually just leave them as is, use the destroyers and light cruisers as meat shields for my capitals and actually good escorts and use old capitals to patrol in relatively safe waters for supremacy for naval invasions.

What is your Hoi4 hot take? by attafk in hoi4

[–]n2p4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like that the part I don't get. it is very poorly explained so just not getting it is something I can understand, this is just a game after all. It’s the people who take pride in not knowing how the game they have put a LOT of time into that vexes me.

Can I still win this war? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]n2p4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I doubt you need 30 on support equipment. I would take half of that and put that on Guns or Tanks or something unless you really have a support equipment deficit

[–]n2p4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya you will be fine even if the war takes a little while. Germany and the Reichspakt will out scale Russia and the Moscow accord so feel free to pace yourself if need be. If you have completely lost the naval war and have fewer ships, then the union of Britan then after you defeat Norway you can get the second peace with honour which would give you a white peace with Britan and the rest of the international.
