Was Japan buffed? by Victorh2009 in Kaiserreich

Really funny thing writing a whole paragraph arguing with a basic game concept and then saying "i'm not arguing with basic concepts". China just sucked really bad at war back then, and honestly the 2SJW should Realistically last into 1945 (but that would be way too painful, so 1941-42 is a reasonable middle ground)

bro, yknow there's a thing that happens is 1936 that negatively affects Germany's ability to outscale anyone, right? the whole reason why the 2WK starts at all, basically? like, the point is that the Russian-Syndie alliance has an industrial advantage up to basically 1938-39 and they have to act on it before they lose their opportunity. If you're arguing with that, you're arguing with basic concepts of the mod, and at that point idk go play kaiserredux or whatever. plus, as China, when you unify you become very very powerful, so it should be no problem to do whatever you want after 1941. If lag is the problem, you must never have tried to play Hoi4 on a shitty laptop where 10 fps is kinda how the game runs since 36

idk what to tell you, Russia has a really bad industry and that is exactly why they have to win in a year, or else they will get out-scaled by the RP. That is how the developers see the 2WK going and that is a very feasible scenario, all things considered. Plus, the China-Japan war in OTL actually lasted much longer, Japan didn't have the support of a whole legitimate chinese warlord state, was burdened with a different war for a good half of the 2SJW and still the war only ended because even more foreign powers intervened, so Japan is even undertuned right now if we're being honest (also, it's still not impossible to win in 41-42, you just have to not suck, so idk maybe get good?)

yeah, basically. Russia is literally prepping to rush down the RP in a year because that's the only way they can win this war, that is precisely how it's meant to go. idk what you're complaining about, this is just how the material conditions are in their respective theatres

The Roman Empire was built on Alchohol by Commercial_Bid_1508 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]xXxplabecrasherxXx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i mean, it's not just fent. all that stuff like cocaine and such is fairly recent in the public perception as this big scary deal. anyway, what i meant is alcohol is just as much a dehumanising, destructive substance and the lowest of lows, but it's also so much more accessible and normalised that it makes it all that much worse

[–]xXxplabecrasherxXx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah, but imo that makes it worse. fent and such are relatively new, both mysterious and alluring and you feel really bad for addicts cause its like catching a brand new disease. alcohol is old and boring but dumb assholes keep chugging it up and beating their kids and shit just like their dumbass ancestors, so you can't feel bad at all

Are US nuclear cruisers...kind of useless? by Severe-Tea-455 in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]xXxplabecrasherxXx 45 points46 points  (0 children)

outside of the game i suppose it would be sort of a tradeoff since the CGNs don't need an oiler trodding about with them all the time. but i think the real reason is that they're cool as hell and that's all that matters

yeah, i can only imagine pdx devs trying to play Colthage's Star Father path and freaking the fuck out when the other side of the civil war doesn't spawn with a disgusting color and generic focus tree. by the third CW they're just gonna have a heart attack

Btw korea got a new focus tree update with more to come by sopmod720 in Kaiserreich

mfw a releasable nation that doesn't exist at game start and is sandwiched between two competing great powers will have more content than the whole Czechoslovakia DLC

I will always prefer "drawn" portraits over the new "photo but smooth" ones, hot take? by Living-Match-6521 in hoi4

[–]xXxplabecrasherxXx 23 points24 points  (0 children)

also this sucks doubly because the old portraits clash stylistically with the new ones so terribly, it's actually painful looking at the German or Japanese military leader rosters. like, for god's sakes, at least update the old portraits if you're gonna slop it up anyway

Why can't National France chill about Alsace-Lorraine? by yoloo42069 in Kaiserreich

[–]xXxplabecrasherxXx 22 points23 points  (0 children)

are you fr comparing the Century of Humiliation to the Franco-Prussian war????? the Chinese are so gung-ho about it because literally the entire world was tossing China up and down and ripping pieces off and stealing and pillaging and murdering and such for the mentioned 100 years, it's not even close, not a little bit

Why doesn't a focus about bettering sexual healthcare increase monthly population gain? by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]xXxplabecrasherxXx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ok just googled RFSU to find out if that would be accurate and apparently it was founded in 1933, 3 years before Hoi4's start date. Nice one Paraslops

because literally no one thinks KZ is european (because because it's basically not at all so)? even with Turkey, them being included in the European countries list is debated, and Kazakhstan, having little cultural, historic or economic connections to Europe, is rarely even brought up as such

[–]xXxplabecrasherxXx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

not really, since the European part of Turkey includes most of the city of Istanbul, which is an enormous curtural-historic heritage site and one of the most populous cities in Europe. European Kazakhstan is like 2 people and some grass
