Should I go anti-fascist or anti-capitalist?

For some reason, I don't like this .. "focus tree". Gamewise.

Anyway, go Anti-Capitalist.
Don't be a faggot like Stalin.
Do History right.

Ultimatum to Greece? Hmmmmmm! … Can you have EAM win the civil war too????

tfw no linux torrents

ayy

In order to go against the UK I'll need a good navy, but I'm afraid Germany will DOW me anyway so I will need a good army too. I don't know if I can manage both.
Also if I don't purge I get "trotskite plot" malus -20% national unity, and if I don't purge completely I get a civil war.

It looks like Stalin didn't really have a choice after all ;_; He was a good man but them troskites would let him build a socialist utopia

Finished the 2nd 5 year plan and going to build some military industries

dubs decide what country I liberate first

It's probably better than absolutely nothing but I don't think it's going to make you Ender.

what are our options?

I don't know, but according to the tree it's most likely going to be Turkey.
Or else I don't know. I didn't really play USSR up to now.

By the way if i lose the civil war trotsky comes to power

Invade China

Greece.

Also, LOSE THE CIVIL WAR, DAMN TANKIE!

Greece is just next after Turkey comrade :^)

Trotsky has :
Political Power factor: -15%
Justify War Goal time: +15%
Subversive Activities Upkeep: -30%

I have to decide wether to have centralized or dispersed factories, as they are mutually exclusive. If I pick centralized I get +20% production and +20% factories per State.

What's the marxist stance on this

Maximize factory production.

The Stalinist stance is centrilized and controlable.

So… Go for dispersed! (you won't)

Learn from the mistakes of WWII.

Go anti-capitalist, every time.

My plot in afghanistan was successful and a civil war is going on. Soon getting soon communist afghanistan and road to liberate India

List of liberated countries:
Afghanistan
Turkey

Next countries:
Iran
Iraq
Greece

I could liberate Finland but I opted to get my clay and nothing more. I don't know if the nazi's are up for me now.
Also the paratroopers didn't work as intended, maybe a bug?

if only……

Can you post a liberated Greece, pls?

I tried a communist Canada run, put in a leader to boost communist support and then had a civil-war. Since I forgot to leave the allies before hand they sided with the other side thought I still technically won the civil-war it is just the game wouldn't let me peace out since I was at war with the allied fraction. When the USA joined the allies they declared war on me and I was boned as my post civil-war policy was a mess, I wanted to build up my airforce but unlike HOI 3 you can't really do it with Canada because as far as I know you can't stockpile rubber and I couldn't trade with anyone once Britain went to war with me (the synthetic plant doesn't produce enough).

What was more of a mistake is I nabbed the British islands in the Caribbean as I had enough of a fleet to protect my naval invasion in that region but then the British sold it to the USA and all my marines was instantly kicked out.

Only took one screen shot way back early (when the civil-war broke loose and my forces stabilized a front near Manitoba) on cause I wasn't thinking about it.

I checked, pretty sure you can pick both, just defeat Germany first then crush imperialism after.

...

The game has clearly been simplified in terms of resources, supply, etc and I can understand why that annoys some people but honestly I'm all for it the game is still complex but at least it's not downright autistic any more. The national focus mechanic is great (though I do wish there were more than just three~ parties per nation).

The soviets look a bit too complicated and difficult for me now so I think I'm going to play as commie France instead. Sucks there's no commie UK option, I guess it's not that realistic but it's semi-conceivable old Labour could have taken over and gone commie aligned.

Resources was not the issue with HOI 3, it was the Order of Battle that was autistic as fuck and HOI 4 stream lined that, for that I am happy yet I don't recall anyone complaining about the HOI 3 resource and trading system.

In HOI 4 the A.I. automatically exports and in return you get civilian factories based on your exports (and you use civilian factories to import). Thus stockpiling is impossible, trading resources for resources is impossible (i.e I can't trade steel for rubber), subsidizing allies through trade is only possible through lend lease so I can give Republican Spain stuff my military factories produce but can't give them free resources (a common strategy in HOI 3).

Thanks for saving me the trouble of downloading it I guess

Yuss. Probably going to get rocked in the war with Germany but whatever.

Now whether to join Comintern or make a Democratic Communist faction.

Well that was a pretty stupid game, I didn't join comintern and because I screwed up the formation of the allies by going communist nobody declared war on Germany, so they got to attack the USSR 1v1. Which might have been a mistake to allow. I didn't really want to fight the war so I just set wargoals and let the ai generals do it for me - they did a horrible job and i didn't use air or naval units at all but yeah, eventually the allies joined the war and i just left the game to idle for hours. the world had been totally screwed up already though. See the pretty border gore.

America took like 5 years to actually invade japan after they declared war, and due to a glitch none of us could get to japan's last province so the fascists got to survive.

Thankfully I managed to stage a coup which auto captures one province to start and therefore controlled the whole country post-war, the british took credit for beating japan anyway (even though the US did most of the work) and they spent all their influence making all the little irrelevant countries go pigdog capitalist, but they couldn't stop the creation of commie europe and the new world's three new superpowers, France (barely), Japan, and the titan of Giant Poland.

I guess this is a better future.. even though probably 100s of millions died in the pointless shuffling around the map (because the ai will never surrender)

I got fucked pretty badly in iran and iraq, only now i managed to make them surrend
now japan is invading siberia while i'm keeping the germans off me
the units in the middle east must stay there though, because italy has all of africa and they're attacking me from there

So I have 0 clue how this game works. Decided to wing it and play Mexico. I think I somehow did alright, but I still don't know how basically any of the mechanics work.

I started pushing for the commie party from the start and got it installed in a coup in like '38. I started my own faction right after and took Nationalist Spain under my wing. We formed El Internacional.

For a while I used lend lease to funnel literally 100% of my resources to the Republic during the Civil War, as well as all my divisions (as expeditionary forces cuz I have no idea how combat works). For a while things were looking good, but then the Nationalists joined the Axis, the World War kicked off, and shit went south.

Republican Spain lost all occupied territory and for whatever reason they stationed all my soldiers in the Sahara. I decided to end the Expeditionary/lend-lease agreement but I still couldn't use the soldiers cuz I don't know how boats work. In the mean time I had them sieze some totally unmanned italian territory, so now I own Libya I guess.

This whole time I was trying to expand my faction, but anyone who wanted gommunism was already part of the USSR. I decided to start expanding in the Americas by invading Gautemala and El Salvador, but apparently you can't just install new goverments so I annexed them instead. I decided to hand them over to the landless republic so they could have some industry to build on and we could be neighbors and stuff.

Also part of my grand scheme was to get the US to join up by funneling resources into the CPUSA and hopefully sparking a civil war where I would back the communists. But apparently the AI let them perform a peaceful takeover and now the Communist States are still in the Allies faction.

Also somehow Republican Spain managed to completely recover the entire nation while I was alt-tabbed. I dunno how. Maybe Guatemala and El Salvador helped?

I honestly don't know what to do now. I'd like to fight the fascists but I still don't understand boats so that's not gonna happen. Which is a shame because I've got V-2 rockets and nukes that I don't have anything to do with. I'm just sitting on my ass researching and enjoying socialist paradise with comrade Espana. What do

I'd suggest you try to figure out how boats work?

Guess I'll ask in this thread since it's closer to the front page:

Any Holla Forums mods or ideas for mods?

I was working on something for Vicky 2 before I ran into a few issues

cold war, i wanna play as Hoxha and take over Europe

Kaiserreich's popular. Also Deviantart has enough alternate history maps that some of them are probably good or interesting, though 90% of everything is crud there just like everywhere else.

I was kinda working on a Victoria 2 mod to fix the shitty political aspects, but I put it on hold because:
1. I wasn't sure if I should build it on top of HPM
2. I wasn't sure exactly where I wanted to take it beyond some of the early changes I was making, namely what to do with socialists
