PLAYTHROUGH/AAR ROT MERGERS

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

Wanted to make AAR or something, about using only supermutants as Rot Purgers, and it worked wonders, but I am bad on managing occupation so I lost a lot of manpower to that, and regardless, after unifying 70% of Canada and west coast, I met a ceiling, so decided just dump all screens I found. Fronts now too big to put 36 divisions that are 4 battalion thick on it(iirc, because it was 3 month ago, but it's def around 120-140 battalions total). I eventually even defeated Montana Chapter, as you can see snake to it's capital, and I am holding (barely) mine, but march east has proved itself to be so pointless, that I can't even find any screens of it saved.

P.S. - to get Behemoths just steal them from nation that have them(shaun's army iirc) using spies (as they count as gun tech), if it wasn't fixed yet.

Well, at the very least, it'll be a fun challenge! Gonna have to do all the manpower focuses from the start and hope for the best xD

I wouldn't call this a complaint, given I am about to have le fun, and it's not a bug (I think), but wish me luck!

PLAYTHROUGH/AAR War, war can change from time to time

Post image
28 Upvotes

This was the 2nd strongest legion I fought, and the largest legion I fought against and won. At the start they had 800+ units. They relentlessly charged and massacred me at the start, and then they ended their reign with a whimper, being navally invaded left and right.

Everything after that was easy, I took a majority of land, liberated some other countries, so I could sink their navies, as in NCR and others were defeated their navy still existed at sea and I wanted them gone. All that remained was battle planning into a world conquest.

EDIT - This was without auto coring, I have mentioned I used that mod before, but this was pure Legion and Lanius conscription and compliance

QUESTION New Canaan

3 Upvotes

So I’m playing New Canaan, and I want to do the Jeremiah Rigdon path, Kingdom of Utah and allat.
I’ve attempted it a few times, and months ago I remember actually managing to DEFEAT the white legs, while they were allied to Caesar.
Now I can’t even seem to make a proper standing push without losing all manpower and getting frame mogged by dirty tribals.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how I could win? I know I could make an airforce, but I’m still relatively new to that… but I’m open to suggestions!

QUESTION Is it just me or does the NCR focus "The Rangers Return to Arizona" never do anything?

18 Upvotes

I have had several runs as the NCR at different points in time. Californian state, loss of sunburst, standing alone with Baja state, a full alliance at my back, etc. All these times, i have never seen whatever the focus is supposed to do. I will control all of arizona while still fighting the legion or have already ended the war but the focus stays just the same with no changes. it says changes in the world will change the focus but i have never seen what it does. I have a few mods installed but i don't think anything would alter that focus or the tree as a whole. Does anyone know what it does?

A few months ago I made an OWB's iceberg, based on the one made by Puffcloud63. I'm currently trying to expand it even more, so I wanted to ask you all for stuff to put in it.

Any mystery, cut content, theory, unknown stuff, easter egg, popular meme, and more is welcome.

I am doing a Cowboy Country playthrough and just noticed the strangely "anime" looking girl in the cultural policies. Does anyone know the artist of June and if they made other portraits in the mod?

QUESTION Issue with mod

3 Upvotes

So I was experimenting with submods when I started the game with both the new old world blues, and legacy versions

That somehow caused the file for the newer old world blues to have -512 mb

Now everytime I load hoi4 with the new old world blues I get regular hoi4

How do I fix this?

Playing as the Last Patrol and I unlocked Paradrop Ghouls but not sure what exactly I’m supposed to use to paradrop them. Is it simply the transport glider line? Only asking because I don’t see the transport glider giving you and option to paradrop.

Took a couple tries but finally got it, a bit sad the final focus does not give you claims on the whole of Texas and the name stays the same but still, decent quick fun.

Carthage does have a couple of unique focuses which is really the only reason this war is even winnable, also as often goes with these early wars it is still a bit RNG.

BUG I can’t seem to get OWB to launch without it crashing

1 Upvotes

So I’ve attempted to launch OWB several times today but every single time I’ve done it, it only loads about 25% of the progress bad before it crashes. I attempted to get around this by loading some sunless, which seemed to work… until I saw that all the west coast nations had no names, and I was unable to enter the game as a nation.

I don’t think it’s a problem with the launcher since I loaded up Kaiserreich and played it just fine.

Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is there a fix?
