One mod I can never play without again is the modifier icons mod. It gives a specific icon to each type of buff and debuff. When given a giant wall of text, it can be sometimes hard to read out all the modifiers, but this makes it so much easier and it’s just a quality of life mod I can’t go without now. It’s also Ironman compatible.
@@martyr_lightsilver1833stellaris went the opposite way in lots of things - half of f*ing things are just icons, and for a new player it's hard to understand all of them
I'm still praying for a mod to give the intel agency a "no upgrade in progress" alert. Between that and the upgrade notification not taking you to the intel tab, it's like Paradox doesn't want us to use the agencies.
Hey sejozwak, thanks for your groundbreaking input! I had no idea where was the begging and the end until you pointed it out. Your insights are like a flashlight in a well-lit room, revealing things we never knew we needed to know. Keep dazzling us with your brilliance!
One problem with undeletable units is that if you annex a country like Italy, you get stuck with those units for the rest of the game because you can’t delete them
Expert AI is a must for single player if u want to fight competent Air/Tanks (otherwise, without it ur just boosting bad divisions). Toolpack is great for combining minors without destroying balance by turning them off, or creating scenarios that make your country of choice more fun/rivals more challenging.
I can do without that hotkey mod. I play every paradox game with just my mouse, spacebar & enter. It's actually one of the many reasons i love paradox games. I really do not like having to memorize a billion hotkeys.
Thanks, this is really helpful! Especially the puppet troop one. Another great mod is the coloured airforce mod which colours the icons of different plane types different colours (red for fighters, green for cas etc) which makes selecting them much quicker and easier. This only happens in the airforce map mode. I can't play without it anymore!
Mine favourite mods are : Lord of the Rings mod, Lord of the Rings expanded, Equestria at War , Old world blues, maybe Hearts of Minecraft, all of these are great mods, that i will recommend to play, especially, if you played games based on LOTR, or Fallout. After these mods, that brings you into totally different world, i like ´´Anime music´´, i am using this mod, when i get tired of listening to all the same ratio music after some time, soo this is expanding few more albums to play, which some are nice and motivating, while other albums is more relaxed, you can simply close it in the game, when you have enough of it. Nice video FeedbackIRL , i i am looking forward to a next nice video.
I feel like the Refit It mod is also definitely a must because it allows you to refit foreign ships and there’s even a Millennium Dawn version of the mod.
The only mod I really want back is the one that gives earlier start dates. As a casual player, I prefer the longer buildup. Sadly those mods are all outdated and broken at this point ._.
Yeah, it's a shame that there aren't more mods exploring earlier start dates; that said, Paradox fumbled the bag when it comes to this, '33 and '36 should have been the two vanilla options for start dates.
Honestly my additions would be map modes (increases the map modes, from seeing all cores, ideologies, and more), and modifier icons, no need to read, and speeds things up Also any performance mod, they're just good, same with state transfer tool
I love "make unhistorical actually playable. It's do just what it says. It let's you choose from all paths when setting unhistorical and make ai more competent in more complex paths
A mod that really works well with RT56 tech as well as Kaiserreich is the Kaiserreich/Vanilla Navy Rework mod, a mod that actually makes the Navy fun to play and adds historical modules
I personally play with toolpack all the time, not to cheat, but rather a peace conference correcter. I'm a person that likes seeing what the AI does on their own when doing peace conferences, so I don't play with player-led, but I have toolpack in case the AI does some horrendous things to each other's borders.
its also fantastic for setting up different scenarios if you want something new, personal favorite of mine is to unify a bunch of smaller nations into larger entitites so there is far fewer but larger more capable nations in the world, and boy its interesting to see the African Union rising and taking the entire continent, or in Asia and SA where major powers rise up and how it just changes the entirety of the game.
The toolpack tool is absolutly always loaded into my single player games, it actually makes me feel like im playing a story and makes the game have realistic peacedeals
There is a mod "HOI4 if it was good" that prevents the UK from guaranteeing independence Also small quality of life mods I use are: colored puppets (your puppets match your color on the map) Colored events Show speed in construction view (shows your buffs for constuction)
For an alternative to road to 56 I use UTTNH Extended Timeline. The road for 56 wasn't for me as WW3 kept happening instead of entering the cold war as Germany and the Soviets tried to get turkey for themselves.
personally i think prigozhin supply alerts is the best hoi4 mod of all time changes the supply alert sound to Yevgheny Prigozhin yelling from that field
Im a developer on 2 of these mods, and Toolpack 2023 operates partially on code copy pasted without permission from one of my other mods There is no light versions of Road to 56 because it would be a lot of work to maintain multiple versions
I´d add "Topbar Resources" and "Resource Rights GUI" First one pretty selfexplanatory you just see your current resources on the topbar and can adjust your trade super easy. Second one is more like the toolpack one, on more then 1 occaison i lost resouce rights in puppet territory, so i felt the need to get this mod.
The best mod iv ever found is the % in the construction menu. Being able to see your bonuses and debuffs without having to add everything up is nice. Also colored railroads mod helps you find the two lvl 1 railroads that are hiding around
I used to play with mods that change the icons of party, spy agency, some flags... But now... I practicaly only play Kaiserreich xDDD It's just soo good. I wish Rt56 to be just like Kaiserreich, but in the normal timeline. The options, the focus trees, THE PEACE CONFERENCES, the political system with more than just 4 "ideologies", the division cap... With the new DLCs, I even feel that the world of Kaiserreich is more consistent than the vanilla one... Yes, I'm whatching you LATAM, Swiss, Ethiopian, Turkish... etc focus trees... In vanilla you can only play, historical world, or schizo random world, where a baby runs an island in the Pacific, Turkey try to form basicaly a new Mongol Empire, or Switzerland take Austria and northem Italy just for free...
There was one mods one I can´t find any more. and that mod this this. when you design a place the game would at the end "manually" add a Global shortification of the plane. Airframe: Inter-War Small.

But it was more so that you did not need to look at the blue print to understand what the plane was for it only took the airframe, carrier, small, medium, large. the level interwar, 1936, 1940, 1944, jet 1 and jet 2 (1944 whit jet engine was I think missing). it took the main armament and secondary (only counted each role ones so sticking 3 MG on it and a something that did cas and also air did not cause it to have 4 F in it). for all nations so you had a ide of what an aircraft was supposed to be doing whit out having to look it up on wikipedia plus if you had like 5 different aircraft you sort of knew what they all did. and a general older airframe is worse (that said if you had inter war airframes whit Heavy MG and 1936 whit 1 light MG it would not tell). and this was for all aircraft from start to any that was made/designed later.
I use the toolpack without errors, I like it because it helps with the new wack ass peace deals, for some reason I can never give my puppets land so I just prefer to use it
There are a few more I can suggest: Better game performance - removes some countries which have no focustrees and rebalances the game around that Modifier icons No AI Spam - reduces late game lag by limiting how many divisions ai can make player led peaceconferences Show speed in construction view - absolutely essential Colored railways coloured buttons AAT topbar - adds a factory count in the UI
I always play with ATA_Overhual, BlueMoonTR's National Ideas and Additional Effects. Really enjoy TGW, but don't like it's research interface for Aerial and Naval Units. Wish they could modify it to be more like vanilla, so I could create my own models.
I use r56 mostly, however I like to change it up quite a bit. As in the world. There’s mostly fascist world set up, and communist world set up, Vietnam included. Then there’s strange world set up with CSA america, Byzantine empire, and napoleon France. State transfer tool is very, very useful. Continuous focuses is great, national ideas and laws is a must. I sometimes spend two hours just tagging to different countries and setting up the world. Only problem I run into is Germany usually loses Hitler for some reason (with leaving them on standard focus tree) and they just sit there. The last couple games I’ve tried to change everything, the biggest war to happen early-mid game is communists vs Japan. I highly recommend trying out the Byzantines through Greece. That purple shade is impeccable.
1 mod that would be a great life improvement would be the ability to delete existing railroads. The amount of times I want to make borders look a certain way, but the railroad sistem in the new territory looks garbage is irritating
Colored railways. So I can see where my supply bottlenecks are. Historical German Flag. I don't believe in censorship. Catland. Lets you play as a cat leader of Luxembourg and take over the world. Country Roulette. So I can play a random country during the game I don't get to pick what country. USA States Redux. Every state in the USA is it's own country. Things can get very interesting.
I like using Democratic Collab Governments. mostly because it allows non-aligned and democratic countries to use the collab government mission in the agency tab
You can literally beat Germany as the USSR making no mils and without doing any weapons research, with no air and without cheesing with armour slaves. You don't even need level 6 forts or higher. Just make mils, and make as many 16w inf divisions with AA as possible. 7 on anti air at the start of the game and any extra mils you get put on guns.
@@HPLovecats Legit, go start up a game now. Just make a division which is 8 inf battalions and support AA. Queue up 100 or so, set to infinite deploy so that it will keep printing them out. Next just set 25 of your starting factories on guns and 7 on anti air. You should end up with like 300 divisions by barb. Without assigning generals, put them all in the same blob and either fall backline or frontline the axis when they declare war. Just build whatever you want the entire game, if you want to do forts, do that, but you should do enough to hold with that. any more factories? put them on guns/AA on that ratio. Lastly, don't try to attack back. Just try to hold and you'll be fine.
FPS map for better fps and colors. Vanilla Naval Rework mod to make navy more realistic/historical. As a navy enthousiast, I cannot play without. But it does make large changes.
I always use : - More Divisions Icons (Fixed) - Increased Experience Cap + Expert IA 5.0 when I play a major + France Expanded when I'm playing my country :3 I also have Player-Led Peace Conferences when dumb IA screws up my game, and Free Division Editing to experiment things ...
Player-Let is just a cheat mod for me, I can't control myself and just take way more land than I am entitled to. With that said, vanilla peace sucks. Maybe I should upload my peace conferences code from my mod American Dictator, it is more balanced than Player Let but still does not screw the player like vanilla peace does.
played with historical naval production all the time, make navy much more fun and makes a lot more sense. change the production price and refit price and stuff, good to go with "refit" mod.
Notification fix, Show Speed in Construction View, 3 of my own (Better Puppet names, Imperial Germany better focus), Better Template Names, Too Many Generic Portraits and Operatives as generic leaders.
I have a mod that adds some techs for buildings that produce resources like steel and tungsten because for some reason when the game hands you a small nation with no manpower or industry they also don’t give you resources most of the time and its its just a shitty situation. It makes countries like Afghanistan, Iran, sinkiang, and some South American nations, hell any minor nation, easier to build an economy
@@mrazi9753 not really. They just don’t include resources that those countries do produce. For instance agriculture is just nonexistent in the game even though it was a huge component in trade and logistics during the time.
@@aridianknight3576 hoi4 is too focused on being exclusively wargame and the rest is very barebones. I tried to play stellaris again after a long stint in ho4 and I don't get how and why I used to like that gameplay before even if so many things are way more fleshed out there. Ended up accidentally purifying all close neighbours before mid-game lag set in and it wasn't even supposed to be a genocidal run! Hoi4's brilliant supply line system ruined other games for me.
@@mrazi9753 brilliant? I’d say serviceable. Just put 2 factories on trains and 3 on trucks and you don’t gotta fuck with it much unless your in Asia, Africa, or South America. And even then you just build lvl 1 railroads to the nearest supply depot or port. Never build depots, only ports. There’s no interaction beyond that. For being a global war game it should really have a better wide ranging logistical system. Stuff like agriculture and food processing into rations that need to be shipped. Even then it’d be the bare minimum since logistics is one of the most important components to a functioning fighting force. You can’t march your men without food, you can’t shoot your guns without bullets. Hoi4 is unfinished in my eyes. I’m not asking for Victoria 3 level of economic simulation but Jesus Christ the system of just steel, aluminum, tungsten, chromium, and rubber is just pitiful. Refinement is just a matter of slapping down infrastructure, management is as easy as “trading factories”, and logistics is a background process. Fucking unfinished. The only reason why people find this game hard or confusing is the amount of near useless stats, the opacity of what those stats mean, and the tiny text they use to show it all to you. The ai is stupid easy, the difficulty bar is just ai gets cheat modifiers. Stellaris has the same damn problems but at least it’s diplomacy is somewhat interesting
@@aridianknight3576 well, it's brilliant by comparison to what is out there in other games (which is not much at all). It'd be really fun to have more depth to what we already have in hoi4 like you describe (as long as it's not tedious micro the same for every country), but, by Celestia's nipples, the entirety of Stellaris "combat" is doomstack of artillery in biggest size shiphulls you can get and that's pretty much it.
Ngl most of these mods are content-creator mods and probably not a lot of regular players are going to use these mods. Thanks for reminding me about Spot Optimization though!
Do the framerate edit in the Notepad, it changes the FPS limit from 75hz to 144hz or 165hz or 244hz. The game is limited to 75 fps by default, 20 fps on 5x speed.
It's good for the historical detail and historical battalion options, but it suffers of being too centric on Germany and being kind of a wehraboo mod in some ways, without adequate alt historical support, which sucks when the AI fails to do something they did irl and it spirals onto an ahistorical playthrough.
I run the AI division limiter mod because nothing is more annoying and immersion breaking than 1944 Germany being balls deep in Russia attritioning and losing millions of men while simultaneously having 50 divisions on each of the port tiles in northern France and Germany. No joke AI Germany will deploy 500+ divisions by 1944 and you just can’t move unless you have a division with 1,000 soft attack and unlimited CAS
Yea I have it too but does it actually make a differemce now? Dave said in the video that the hoi4 devs have incorporated these things into the main game...
@@KokenyRichard My friends mades the mod and it changes a lot. it is not really important what it does on screen but it helps to lower the errors(which causes game to slow) u can see it on Debug mode.

Proceeds to list mods he plays hoi4 without
yeah really, what a dingbat
Player lead peace conferences is absolutely required imo.
Came here to say this, peace conferences are so awful lol
I choose to just use tool pack. That way you can have a proper representation if war score and just use toolpackto fix bordergore.
idk why but for me it only works 1/3 of the times
I just wish it was easier to have your allies puppet in player led peace conferences instead of just annexing
The toolpack is way easier to use
One mod I can never play without again is the modifier icons mod. It gives a specific icon to each type of buff and debuff.

Totally agree. After playing with it, I cannot go back.
It's criminal that this mod hasn't been integrated into the base game.
How are mods ironman compatible
@@martyr_lightsilver1833stellaris went the opposite way in lots of things - half of f*ing things are just icons, and for a new player it's hard to understand all of them

One problem with undeletable units is that if you annex a country like Italy, you get stuck with those units for the rest of the game because you can’t delete them
I guess you could send them on Leeroy Jenkins runs.
I went into game files, found a template and flipped a flag on "cannot delete". Should've thought about the available mod instead.
@@ElyseonIntentionally get encircled, or use them as port garrisons.

I NEVER play without a mod called "no advertisment", it removes the paradox ad in main menu

My new fav mod is 'My grandpa as macarthur' not because it is good or anything, but because it is warm hearted
Expert AI is a must for single player if u want to fight competent Air/Tanks (otherwise, without it ur just boosting bad divisions).

0 hours in vanilla. I'm playing hoi4 only with Equestria at war mod on.
don't sleep on kaiserreich, and old world blues, both are also pretty good with so much content and flavor
@@terribleplayer2526Rt56 is also pretty good. A bit overwhelming though.
OWB definitely looks better than most of the garbage Paradox has pushed out over the years.
Hey-heey /)
But vanilla ice cream tastes so good :(
There's also mode called New Ways it's like road to 56 but it's more about focus trees try it out!
Coloured Naval & Airbase icons add more flavour and makes it easier to see and categorise those parts of gameplay.
For single player: reduced cost for supply hubs. Makes stalemates due to logistics more bearable

Yesss i used to play The darkest hour mod all the time, it hasnt been updated in a while
If you do something not too much earlier like '33, not a lot happens and you're only buffing the player who is gonna have more buildup
@@marijn211 This right here. With '33 start date, any decent player could take out the allies/axis before 1939, the actual fucking war
Ally’s railroad GFX is a game changer, lets you actually focus on railroads

changes the supply alert sound to Yevgheny Prigozhin yelling from that field
Colord buttons, more division icons, and various music mods

There is no light versions of Road to 56 because it would be a lot of work to maintain multiple versions
I'm the other way with RT56, i wish i could have the tech tree and not everything else.
I´d add "Topbar Resources" and "Resource Rights GUI"
First one pretty selfexplanatory you just see your current resources on the topbar and can adjust your trade super easy.

i always use toolpack to make somewhat reasonable peace conferences. no more random chunks of land inside another country, or 5 italys etc.
I really like the mod with random country placements (mod should be in replies if youtube doesnt delete it)
i always use player conferences player lead because if not the bordergore is insane
And because the AI is a douchecanoe and will go out of its way to snatch stuff you want, just to be contrarian.

Dave is too stingy to pay 5 pp to delete he's undeletable divisions so he installed a whole mod for it. I love it.
for the want of a nail, a kingdom was lost ^^
A mod i havent played without 200 hours is Ragnarok 1937.
Before the change to war policies using XP instead of research, I would run a +1 research slot mod.
There was one mods one I can´t find any more.
and that mod this this.
when you design a place the game would at the end "manually" add a Global shortification of the plane.
Airframe: Inter-War Small. Role: Fighter. Main Armament: 2x Light Machine Gun
so when you see Ki-10(Japan) or He 51(Germany) it would add after the name F0 (Fighter interwar) example Ki-10 (F0)
if the Ki-10 in its secondary slot also had CAS weapons like bomb locks it would change it to.
KI-10 (FC0) 0 = interwar.
1936 =1 and so on.
Jet I think had like 5 and 6.
But it was more so that you did not need to look at the blue print to understand what the plane was for
it only took the airframe, carrier, small, medium, large.
the level interwar, 1936, 1940, 1944, jet 1 and jet 2 (1944 whit jet engine was I think missing).
it took the main armament and secondary (only counted each role ones so sticking 3 MG on it and a something that did cas and also air did not cause it to have 4 F in it).
for all nations so you had a ide of what an aircraft was supposed to be doing whit out having to look it up on wikipedia plus if you had like 5 different aircraft you sort of knew what they all did.
and a general older airframe is worse (that said if you had inter war airframes whit Heavy MG and 1936 whit 1 light MG it would not tell).
and this was for all aircraft from start to any that was made/designed later.
I use the toolpack without errors, I like it because it helps with the new wack ass peace deals, for some reason I can never give my puppets land so I just prefer to use it
I always use the revamped basic focus trees mod. Super fun to play with
There are a few more I can suggest:
Better game performance - removes some countries which have no focustrees and rebalances the game around that
Modifier icons
No AI Spam - reduces late game lag by limiting how many divisions ai can make
player led peaceconferences
Show speed in construction view - absolutely essential
Colored railways
coloured buttons AAT
topbar - adds a factory count in the UI
Show Speed in Construction View!!!
10 docks for capital ships, it shortens my productionlist by a lot

Really enjoy TGW, but don't like it's research interface for Aerial and Naval Units. Wish they could modify it to be more like vanilla, so I could create my own models.
Really would be cool to have only the 56 focuses as a mod
I use r56 mostly, however I like to change it up quite a bit. As in the world. There’s mostly fascist world set up, and communist world set up, Vietnam included. Then there’s strange world set up with CSA america, Byzantine empire, and napoleon France. State transfer tool is very, very useful. Continuous focuses is great, national ideas and laws is a must. I sometimes spend two hours just tagging to different countries and setting up the world. Only problem I run into is Germany usually loses Hitler for some reason (with leaving them on standard focus tree) and they just sit there. The last couple games I’ve tried to change everything, the biggest war to happen early-mid game is communists vs Japan.
I highly recommend trying out the Byzantines through Greece. That purple shade is impeccable.
Player lead peace is a must have tbh
spanish have some undeleted unit after the spanish revolution at start, annoying to be stuck with them. Thx for the list of mod
Coring button for PP and FPS maps, also AI limiter wich nerfs all non WW2 figthing ai to reduce lag.
Ide like to do that to fix this broken ass game that I love for some reason but I’m addicted to getting the achievements
-Colored airforce
-Better airforce deployement
-More units levels
-Clear nuke number
-Better preset colors
-Linear XP gain
why linear xp gain tho?
Expert AI when putting them at harder difficulties just gives the AI buffs and basically makes it unfair. Not a good mod imo
1 mod that would be a great life improvement would be the ability to delete existing railroads. The amount of times I want to make borders look a certain way, but the railroad sistem in the new territory looks garbage is irritating
Colored railways. So I can see where my supply bottlenecks are.
Historical German Flag. I don't believe in censorship.
Catland. Lets you play as a cat leader of Luxembourg and take over the world.
Country Roulette. So I can play a random country during the game I don't get to pick what country.
USA States Redux. Every state in the USA is it's own country. Things can get very interesting.
Expert AI is necessary for sp historical games imo
I like using Democratic Collab Governments. mostly because it allows non-aligned and democratic countries to use the collab government mission in the agency tab
Newest and best version of Toolpack is „Toolpack without the errors“
expert AI? Feedback, I can't even beat the Germans as the USSR
dude just make fighters cas and infantry w some arty
You can literally beat Germany as the USSR making no mils and without doing any weapons research, with no air and without cheesing with armour slaves. You don't even need level 6 forts or higher. Just make mils, and make as many 16w inf divisions with AA as possible. 7 on anti air at the start of the game and any extra mils you get put on guns.
@@aaronfalcon3152 I'm a bad player. I couldn't hold them at moscow
@@HPLovecats Legit, go start up a game now. Just make a division which is 8 inf battalions and support AA. Queue up 100 or so, set to infinite deploy so that it will keep printing them out. Next just set 25 of your starting factories on guns and 7 on anti air. You should end up with like 300 divisions by barb. Without assigning generals, put them all in the same blob and either fall backline or frontline the axis when they declare war. Just build whatever you want the entire game, if you want to do forts, do that, but you should do enough to hold with that. any more factories? put them on guns/AA on that ratio. Lastly, don't try to attack back. Just try to hold and you'll be fine.
@@aaronfalcon3152 use FM lines? i find issues that the units just want to keep moving all across the line, keeping their org way down
One tip for performance install process lasso its speeding up late game 1940 and later
FPS map for better fps and colors.
Vanilla Naval Rework mod to make navy more realistic/historical. As a navy enthousiast, I cannot play without. But it does make large changes.
I always use :
- More Divisions Icons (Fixed)
- Increased Experience Cap
+ Expert IA 5.0 when I play a major
+ France Expanded when I'm playing my country :3
I also have Player-Led Peace Conferences when dumb IA screws up my game, and Free Division Editing to experiment things ...
Hon hon hello monsieur le baguette, parley vous tu le français? ;)
More seriously though, what do you think about the french focus tree?
@ alt-history are pretty fun, but the little entente is so OP that everything else feels disappointing …
Player-Let is just a cheat mod for me, I can't control myself and just take way more land than I am entitled to. With that said, vanilla peace sucks. Maybe I should upload my peace conferences code from my mod American Dictator, it is more balanced than Player Let but still does not screw the player like vanilla peace does.
Puppet recourse is one of my favorites
You forgot the most esential mod: Trilogy Radios
Color Buttons
Modifier Icons
Colored Railways
Topbar Resources
Player lead peace conf
These are great ones too.
I almost always play with the toolpack mod so I don't have to wory if the ai fucks up the peace deal
Some of these might make the game actually fun. If I can get rid of the lag.
played with historical naval production all the time, make navy much more fun and makes a lot more sense. change the production price and refit price and stuff, good to go with "refit" mod.
Notification fix, Show Speed in Construction View, 3 of my own (Better Puppet names, Imperial Germany better focus), Better Template Names, Too Many Generic Portraits and Operatives as generic leaders.
I have a mod that adds some techs for buildings that produce resources like steel and tungsten because for some reason when the game hands you a small nation with no manpower or industry they also don’t give you resources most of the time and its its just a shitty situation. It makes countries like Afghanistan, Iran, sinkiang, and some South American nations, hell any minor nation, easier to build an economy
"for some reason" - realism?
@@mrazi9753 not really. They just don’t include resources that those countries do produce. For instance agriculture is just nonexistent in the game even though it was a huge component in trade and logistics during the time.
@@aridianknight3576 hoi4 is too focused on being exclusively wargame and the rest is very barebones. I tried to play stellaris again after a long stint in ho4 and I don't get how and why I used to like that gameplay before even if so many things are way more fleshed out there. Ended up accidentally purifying all close neighbours before mid-game lag set in and it wasn't even supposed to be a genocidal run! Hoi4's brilliant supply line system ruined other games for me.
@@mrazi9753 brilliant? I’d say serviceable. Just put 2 factories on trains and 3 on trucks and you don’t gotta fuck with it much unless your in Asia, Africa, or South America. And even then you just build lvl 1 railroads to the nearest supply depot or port. Never build depots, only ports. There’s no interaction beyond that. For being a global war game it should really have a better wide ranging logistical system. Stuff like agriculture and food processing into rations that need to be shipped. Even then it’d be the bare minimum since logistics is one of the most important components to a functioning fighting force. You can’t march your men without food, you can’t shoot your guns without bullets.
Hoi4 is unfinished in my eyes. I’m not asking for Victoria 3 level of economic simulation but Jesus Christ the system of just steel, aluminum, tungsten, chromium, and rubber is just pitiful. Refinement is just a matter of slapping down infrastructure, management is as easy as “trading factories”, and logistics is a background process. Fucking unfinished. The only reason why people find this game hard or confusing is the amount of near useless stats, the opacity of what those stats mean, and the tiny text they use to show it all to you. The ai is stupid easy, the difficulty bar is just ai gets cheat modifiers. Stellaris has the same damn problems but at least it’s diplomacy is somewhat interesting
@@aridianknight3576 well, it's brilliant by comparison to what is out there in other games (which is not much at all). It'd be really fun to have more depth to what we already have in hoi4 like you describe (as long as it's not tedious micro the same for every country), but, by Celestia's nipples, the entirety of Stellaris "combat" is doomstack of artillery in biggest size shiphulls you can get and that's pretty much it.
Good one 🎉
Ngl most of these mods are content-creator mods and probably not a lot of regular players are going to use these mods. Thanks for reminding me about Spot Optimization though!
cant believe you remember the spot mod lmao,also the spot mod died because the main dev quit hoi4
Feedback, you're playset looks horrific, please make a video cleaning it up to rectify this issue; thanks.
Who are you
You are playset??
You are playset look horrific
Do the framerate edit in the Notepad, it changes the FPS limit from 75hz to 144hz or 165hz or 244hz. The game is limited to 75 fps by default, 20 fps on 5x speed.
One time I played a very late game WWII and Germany and the US we’re just trading nukes it was basically WWIII
Like and Subscribe, best of them all
Me doing only achievements in singleplayer : Nope thanks 💀💀💀
Black Ice that is all needs to be said.
hot garbage mod
It's good for the historical detail and historical battalion options, but it suffers of being too centric on Germany and being kind of a wehraboo mod in some ways, without adequate alt historical support, which sucks when the AI fails to do something they did irl and it spirals onto an ahistorical playthrough.
Why did he gave us the finger in 5:50
Toolpack is just so damn helpful
now that divisions get medals, how can you locate those divisions to have them operate based on medals? Any mod that helps with that?
Don’t tell me what to do you’re not my dad!
I'm 1000 hours in and not a single achievement lol.
I run the AI division limiter mod because nothing is more annoying and immersion breaking than 1944 Germany being balls deep in Russia attritioning and losing millions of men while simultaneously having 50 divisions on each of the port tiles in northern France and Germany. No joke AI Germany will deploy 500+ divisions by 1944 and you just can’t move unless you have a division with 1,000 soft attack and unlimited CAS
i cant even beat the normal AI how am i supposed to play with expert AI 💀
I know its a month ago but maybe someone still finds this.
Is it just me and being unlucky or is germany ALWAYS going facist in Roadto56?
I feel like I'm kinda getting bored or vanilla so I just started doing veterin with Ironman on lol
Fps map its my favorite one
I like my HOI like I like my ice cream... vanilla
u can use SOO optimization instead of Spot
Yea I have it too but does it actually make a differemce now? Dave said in the video that the hoi4 devs have incorporated these things into the main game...
@@KokenyRichard My friends mades the mod and it changes a lot. it is not really important what it does on screen but it helps to lower the errors(which causes game to slow) u can see it on Debug mode.
