The naval and air warfare are terrible. I try to play landlocked powers as much as possible so I can ignore them more

If you have to naval invade, just use paratroopers. Japan especially.

In HOI4 I'm playing as Italy and this is my plan for the moment. I've been pushing Italy towards Communist while mostly avoiding getting involved in any wars other than claiming Ethiopia. I've also befriended Yugoslavia who are still their starting ideology (I forget if its Democratic or Non-Aligned) with the goal to turn them Communist along with Greece. Once I get those two onto my good side, I'm going to target either conquering Nationalist Spain or just helping prop France up against the Germans and join in on the Allied invasion of Germany.

This is my plan. I expect it go to poorly.

Edit - Quick update. poo poo went south in a big way. I pissed off both the Axis and the Allies in my cool and hip "Mediterranean Bloc" faction to the point where my people now only live in Ethiopia.

Edit 2 - Got destroyed by South Africa and lost. :( Think I'll go play some CK2 for a while.

is Hoi4 Kaiserreich coming out this week

Oh it's out. For people who don't know, Kaiserreich is a gigantic alt history mod about a world where Germany won WW1 and things went awry from there. It was the biggest and more painstakingly made HoI2/Darkest Hour mod and the most popular one out there and I played it a magnitude of hours more of it than the vanilla game.

The new CK expansion will have you join satanistic cults and the illuminati just like the rulers of today's world.

yeah, it seems like it was a fun war for everyone before that big encirclement.

i really do think you should try splitting up into more armies, or at least more frontlines per army - limits the scope for the AI's erraticness.

Assuming you mean the free one. The paid one is OK I guess but it doesn't really add much. Even with a mod to force spawn all of them, it's been rare if I see more than 1 or 2

I haven't seen the free one either but I like the paid one. Leviathans are pretty cool game-changers. Like once I had an early space age society reach FTL and become an actual faction within a system I also had a planet in. They were fanatical purifiers or something like that so we hated each other but since it was still pretty early neither one of us had a fleet that could take out both the other person's fleet and their spaceport at the same time. We were locked in stalemate for a while until suddenly a wraith or phantom or whatever it's called casually flew into our shared system, annihilated both of our stuff in a matter of seconds, and flew off just as suddenly, and I was able to retask some forces from the rest of my empire and rush the other guy before he could rebuild their spaceport.

I'm pretty sure the Extradimensional Horror parked in one of my systems has wiped out a few enemy fleets too. I kinda want to keep him around as border security.

Ballin, like that there's a goal for building up a province should make it pretty worthwhile between that and the institution increase.

I like the idea of making separate ages for certain specific events and disasters to happen but all the rest really look straight up stolen from Civ 6

If I could have my way I would freeze EU mechanically right now and just tweak the new tech mechanics and maybe make estates more interesting. It's got like the perfect balance right now of interesting mechanics and number crawl to me as it is

I wish they froze too cause none of the mods I subscribed have updated for the latest patch yet :/. I wanna do an Imp MP of the voltaire nightmare mod.

I think EU4 is pretty close to perfect right now. All it needs to make Estates a bit more interesting.

and there is also four unique abilities in each age, where countries that historically were powerful in that age can unlock a special ability.
