paradox forums just argue over Hitler wearing the Knights Cross THAT HE NEVER RECEIVED!!1!

I'm more wondering about what that pie graph with the three parties represents. I didn't play HOI3, so I'm not sure how it worked there.

If I were to go on Paradox Plaza right now, how likely would it be that I would see a thread complaining that HoI4 doesn't have swastikas?

Guess that makes sense then. I was in the Vicky mindset and was thinking it was something relating to whatever kind of "upper house" or so Germany has, and that wouldn't make any sense a few years after the Gleichschaltung.

Nice to see that they've simplified the 10 or whatever political positions down to the main three, because really, who cares whether your democratic government is centre-left or centre-right.

To expand on this, you can't even do a LP on the forums unless you censor any swatstikas that might have been modded in. Not to say there aren't crazy people on the forums, just that they can't overtly display their :godwinning: fanboyism.

Hey man, the Nazi's didn't have any swastikas on their maps so neither should you.

How to Get Swastika Flag As Germany in HOI4

- Conquer a Hindu province in India
- Switch capitol from Berlin to said province
- Take the "Convert to local religion" decision
- German flag should convert to dynastic shield flag with swastika icon

This has actual major historical/gameplay impacts though? Like electing right-wingers would be more likely to surrender faster and collaborate with Nazis than electing democratic socialists, or electing republicans rather than democrats could delay US entry into the war by a year or so with potential drastic consequences.

I know it was mostly pointless window dressing in hoi2/3 but one can dream :smith:

Sorry for the double-post, but I think I figured out the Sweden/Finland crisis issue I brought up a page ago or so.

Looking at the province info, I see that Viipuri (#339, the border province to Russia in the state of southern Finland) only has cores of Finland and Russia, and not Sweden. I suspect missing the Sweden core could be causing the problem with calling a crisis in southern Finland. I'll play around and test when I have a chance.

edit- also none of then have a core of Scandinavia, which seems wrong.

By the way, adding a Swedish core to Viipuri seemed to solve the V2 problem of not being able to national focus tension in Southern Finland.

However, I'm not sure that it has much effect? At the beginning of the game Russia is #2 in Great Powers, and Sweden's usually floating around 9 or 10. It seems like you'll never get a net positive tension increase early on because Russia's GP tension reduction bonus is -.4 to your +.15 for focus. And I'm assuming by the time Russia could start drifting down the ranks of Great Powers, Sweden will almost definitely be a Great Power even by accident.

Is there some other way to spark that crisis off in the 1830s-40s?

Probably related to why Netherlands is called Holland (check Indonesia). Looks like an accurate portrayal of the Netherlands isn't high priority right now.
