    Setting up Slovakia as a puppet makes Czechia start at 50 % compliance and gives you a claim on their lands as well, which is way better than getting those Slovak factories...

      @simpicusmaximus 11 місяців тому

      Honestly with how early you annex/puppet them it really doesn't matter. Your compliance will climb pretty fast regardless, I think it's more worth it to puppet bigger nations and annex smaller ones because the process of integrating a small puppet cost the same pp as a large one so I see it being more useful for larger nations where you would want/need to start off at higher compliance. I can reasonably see not wanting to spend the pp on integrating a small nation when the compliance builds fast enough already anyways

    Dude you don't have to switch every supply depot to motorization manually. When you click on an armee group you can switch on motorization for the whole armee group. Then they will switch the necessary supply depots automatically. You will save tons of trucks this way and don't have to keep an eye on it anymore. The button is in the top right of the armee group detail window and looks like on the supply depots.

    Extra bit of info - before you send volunteers to Nationalist Spain, the moment the civil war triggers, send a volunteer to Republican Spain so that when they complete the focus Relocate The Gold Reserves, you get the massive Consumer Goods Reduction temporary national spirit/buff for Germany, which will temporarily increase your construction even further. Once that event triggers, then you can just delete the division and help Nationalist Spain with new Volunteers.

    It's always been as soon as Paris falls, the country falls. I've always just rushed for Paris, it's the only tile you need if you have them under a 100% collaboration. It also doesn't mess up your German France. You can still under the decisions tab select to collaborate the government and Vichy France will merge with it and then you go through the autonomy system to get their fleet for operation sea-lion.

    14:35 I actually think the German-Swedish Trade Agreement, right under Rhineland is without a doubt the best option here. It gives an 8% building speed boost for 420 days.
    Furthermore, selling all bombers (med+heavy+naval) for high prices will get you a nice boost, equivalent to the IC of a civilian factory. Italy and Japan immediately buy any planes put on the market in 1936.

      Civil factories are what give you the speed of production, without these it takes a lot of time, more civil factories, more speed
