Probably the same reason there's no Holocaust events. This is a war simulator, not a war is hell simulator.

In HoI4, Hitler can conquer the world and use his power to bring Charlie Chaplin to Berlin.

I really hope the Fascist/Democratic/Communist split is moddable. Kaiserreich just won't be the same without all the various smaller ideologies bickering amongst themselves.

Vengarr posted:Carriers are underpowered compared to reality because there is no way to tell them not to sail into gunrange. Wouldn't work how you wanted; a carrier mission means the planes show up in the battle and do their thing. Search and destroy is for battles. Carriers largely stay as far back as possible, but they might get chased down by faster opposing ships if all their friends sink. Planes might not take off due to weather, too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyQmhrVKsc0 Some guy decided to see what the real life infantry divisions would look like in HoI 4. While it's not exactly the optimal 20-width division, some of them look viable at a glance.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I hope aggressive solves the problem where the AI wants to proactively move units into provinces where other units are moving out of, even if that province will be behind the front line once that move is complete. That's one of the biggest stumbling blocks contributing to the AI's lack of aggressiveness, from what I can tell. It just seems completely unable to tell when it's okay to not guard a province. Also if they're already moving they won't stop mid-move to reassess where they're going. So if the frontline moves halfway through their unnecessary shuffling into some Siberian shithole province you then get to watch them take a month to enter that area, eat a bunch of attrition and then spend another month trying to leave, by which time the frontline has moved again.

So I solved one issue I was having- my garrison troops in training never getting equipment. Just in case anyone else has missed this, it may help? I set my garrison divisions to low priority at the start of the game. I don't want them grabbing premium equipment, right?  Oh- there's a big ol' Division Equipment button too? My problem was that even though they were last in the priority queue, the game would still wait in line to get new equipment. I guess unchecking that box probably would have solved my problem. Limiting them to tier 1 weapons also would have worked, since by ~1940 I had +10k in old stockpiled guns...

texasmed posted:If that was the case then why do the nodes stay at the same output? I already covered that in the part of the post you didn't quote. so a 5-oil node doesn't have to be listed as producing '5.5 oil' (the game doesn't have a concept of fractional resource units!) but is still affected by a 10% resource production boost, probably. adding everything together before multiplying simplifies things a lot!

Right? I trapped the American invasion of Sicily and destroyed about 60 divisions, I feel like that would cause the US to consider leaving the war. I think the peace conference system would be optimal for a peace without capitulation possibility.

I'm also working on some answers to my question of "how do I predict how many divisions I need to garrison an area?"  So according to the wiki, a state's base resistance score is .1% for each victory point in the state. So a key state like Paris is going to have ~5%...smaller states maybe 3%...and real outliers 1% or less. This percent is boosted by resistance in neighboring states, but lets say for the moment we're nipping resistance in the bud early and not having to worry too much about this. Next up is the occupation policy modifier. In my world, Taylor Swift is a just and fair Fuhrer, so I went with the most gentle policies giving a 60% penalty to the resistance growth. Others may be more cruel...so lets for rule of thumb sake go with a 30% average. So 5%/3%/1% from above becomes 3.5%, 2.1%, .7%. So now we consider what it takes to suppress those values. Each battalion of cavalry provides .2% suppression. and a MP support unit provides a 20% bonus to the division's suppression (scales up over time but who wants to sink more research in to MPs??). So a bog standard garrison division of 4 cavalry battalions and an MP is (.8% * 1.2)= .96% suppression. For the sake of nice round numbers, it looks like it's maybe a little better to buff up your garrisons a bit to 5 cavalry and an MP, giving you a nice 1.2% suppression per division. At 1.2%, 3 divisions garrisons Paris well, 2 garrison Calais/Dunkirk, and 1 garrisons a shithole state in the middle of nowhere. So now you could go through and rank each state in a target country in one of those three levels of need...but that still feels like too much work in Slime Bro's world of being dumb. So you can probably shorthand it to counting the number of states in that nation (or in the case of something like France the number of states you will actually occupy).
Since victory points are kind of a game mechanic and not some model or reality, you can kind of set some assumptions about a nation- only a few states will have big VP scores, a handful more will have a middling number, and then a bunch more will have none or nearly none. This is maybe skewed a bit for small populace places like Benelux or Northern France, but it mostly works. Larger nations probably have more 'empty' states, so their multiplier should be lower. But maybe 10% of the states will need 3 divisions, 30% will need 2, and the rest will need 1. So the rule of thumb becomes Garrison Divisions needed = Number of Occupied States * 1.5
Thoughts? Again there's probably a lot of work you could do to optimize this, but if you're trying a non-ironman, non insane difficulty run to try and figure things out, this might be a good starting point to managing your occupied territories. edit- considering pleasing fungus' comment below, I should note this is a formula not to keep resistance at 0% so much as a formula to keep resistance growth at 0%. So you probably need to sink a lot more troops in to the first few months of occupation to bring resistance down after the invasion...and then this is long term what you need to maintain peace.

my experience was that that was way low for france - even without vichy, i was having continuous resistance problems even with an occupation force more twice that size. admittedly i was on 'harsh' occupation, but it doesn't seem like that should more than double the occupation requirements?

Well, it's very possible I am bad at math! But one thing that could also affect it- looking at the UK right after they surrendered, all of their resistance scores were super high- like 40%-50% per state. I suspect once a nation gives up, they start with a huge score. My numbers are about how to keep resistance growth at 0%. If they're already at 10% or 20%, then you need to sink a bunch of divisions in to making that growth negative, bring it down to 0%, and then my number of divisions can garrison it long term. Otherwise not only do you never get a negative growth, that 'resistance in neighboring states" modifier comes in to play, keeping everyone's resistance very high.

Hah. The fascist name of West Germany is "The Fourth Reich." Also, a neutral East Germany (not sure how that could ever happen, but) is called the Kingdom of Prussia.

PleasingFungus posted:that seems plausible! it might also be useful to micro it a bit and move in from the edges when pacifying occupation initially? That could be helpful for really problematic areas- I imagine I'd do it with the UK, slowly pushing north while I pacify the productive areas I care about in/around London. Also, luckily even your non garrison forces provide suppression. Like, your typical infantry division (10 units of infantry) is going to provide you with 1% suppression without any special effort. So part of the strategy should probably be to (1) overbuild your garrisons early so you have a chance to use them to help quickly pacify your first conquests and (2) leave a part of your invading army behind to also help pacify, while the rest moves on/over to your next front. So if I'm saying long term you want 18 divisions to garrison France and Benelux, they early on you probably want 35-40 available to put down the initial resistance. Luckily if you're Germany you probably have +100 infantry divisions at that point, and maybe a dozen panzer divisions and a handful of mountain or other odds/ends. So granted you can't wheel your entire army over to Russia immediately , but you can likely move over half of it there to get ready, and even when you have it down to just that need for 18 garrison divisions, you're still going to want to leave a handful of frontline forces in France just to make sure GB/America doesn't get any funny ideas about invading.

Man, this Germany game I have going has been super easy mode. Poland suddenly attacked Estonia, had The UK declare war on them, allowing me to invade them without reprisal. Then I took down the Soviet Union when they were dealing with a civil war. I have like 300 factories right now and it's only 1940. Something tells me that France isn't going to stand much of a chance.

So Poland talk, I went from being fascist and having befriend the axis "Danzig or War". Not a problem, I held back the Germans and eventually occupied Germany and Hungary. Now I have the problem where Austria who refused the Anschluss and is guaranteed by France/England and Jugoslavia, guaranteed by the same wont give me access so I can go occupy Italy who joined the Axis a couple of days before Munich fell. Looks like I have to gently caress up France and England (both have given me volunteers btw) just to end my war against the Axis. That whole befriend tree for Poland is dumb as hell to begin with, it's the easiest way to go fascist/commie but the axis/comintern hate you anyway and you're permanently blocked from making your own faction.

How did Austria refusing Anschluss not result in Germany DoW'ing them, and France/England sitting out or jumping in against the Axis? Not saying the Polish befriend tree isn't dumb- I haven't looked much at it- but seems like you're more hitting a bad confluence of 2 ahistorical things that might have been hard to predict and plan for.
