@SilverSnakeMemes nah, gonna keep playing single player, strategy games can take multiple days, and seems like a huge pain in the ass orchestrate as someone who has a life outside of the game. As for how to make the AI better, IDK but chess has been able to do this for a while now. Obviously this is more complex than chess so it might not even be doable. Me finding something annoying isn't contingent on a solution being realistic or possible, regardless.
@@SilverSnakeMemes it's not that hard, you can easily programm the AI to focus certain tech more and what kind of division they use at what time, that would already make the AI 10x better just decent airplanes as templates would already help and then you could fix certain bugs like the AI just randomely moving units away from the front leaving it entirely open or having holes in their front for no reason so you can just walk through and encircle them, happens especially with russia
"This is meta" does absolutely everything that isn't meta in single player. This game was something else haha, you can see tommy never plays single player.
Yeah he got free Poland, free Austria, Hungary and Czech (ok it’s free irl but still), France didn’t join allies and the Soviets had the usual attrition civil war in so supply zobes
@@SilverSnakeMemes no it didn't, it seems like not even the buffs work but more importantly the mod basically gives the historical AI a list on what it does in what order it basically tells it what to construct, what to research, when to use what kind of division template and planes and tank templates etc. so by playing no historical it all got messed up and the AI used weird shity templates while not using the right researches etc based on buffs they would normally get from the focus tree at the right time
Yeah he got free Poland, free Austria, Hungary and Czech (ok it’s free irl but still), France didn’t join allies and the Soviets had the usual attrition civil war in so supply zobes
Yeah the historical one actually has all the allies OP asf. They send everything to France and when you try to invade Belgium they have a stack of like 20 divisions (they don’t attrition) and it’s nearly impossible to break. So basically you are playing ww1 simulator and it gets boring
@@maxthetube8466 You don't get Poland free IRL, the peace deal is so strong because you can steal their factories and their resources, meanwhile if he did historical he would have to deal with garrisoning Poland.
Honestly after 2-3 games he wouldnt struggle at all. He will deffinelly get humbled the first game but it wont take long for him to jsut dominate like in vanilla
I remember playing with this mod as Czechoslovakia on challenging difficulty. It took until like 1952 or something like that to capitulate Germany. Germany would build forts on the frontline, have capable units, and also not declare war on anyone else that whole time. What a game that was
Yeah he got free Poland, free Austria, Hungary and Czech (ok it’s free irl but still), France didn’t join allies and the Soviets had the usual attrition civil war in so supply zobes
Mfw I use an Expert AI historical only mod and play non-historical and then complain that it's too easy... (The mod doesn't function nearly as well on non-historical, only the stat boosts apply)
Not really. The Divisions Designs are much better at a later stage in the Game and some general improvements about Italy not getting killed so easily and so on
This is the equivalent of saying "I'm gonna do this the hardest way" and then letting the AI shoot itself and slip on bananas and be like: "I'm good!" Play Historical, Tommy. And play it on the hardest difficulty + this mod on hardest, and you will FEEL my pain.
Fr lol when the “other” communist civil war happens in the ussr they usually don’t recover until 1945 ish when it spawns in no supply zones like Central Asia or Arkhangelsk
you kinda just took out one nation after the other. In addition to the mod not really being designed for unhistorical. When you play the easy way it is easy.
Yeah he got free Poland, free Austria, Hungary and Czech (ok it’s free irl but still), France didn’t join allies and the Soviets had the usual attrition civil war in so supply zobes
tommy play the same game but historical impossible difficulty with the ingame custom settings buffing the allies all the way up and on very hard mode then i think you will have a hard little challenge
Ig they’ll do it like Finland and Poland or South America where the historical/ in this case fascist path is added for base game and the hopefully add a communist path that’s monetized
RTS really has to step up AI logic to make a real come back. I love RTS/TBS but the AI is always too easy especially on 4x games that are impossible to find consistent players for.
Expert AI, from when I played with my friend as Italy and Germany was just the AI throwing more garbage out for you to deal with, I needed 3x more better planes in a region to gain supremacy with at least 30 fightera a day to sustain the losses
Playing as one of the strongest nations out there having 4 research slots at the start with a decent economy against AI, AI may have all the modifiers and buffs but it's still not enough because it seems chaotic when It comes to design divisions and researching air
Russia: in a civil war against a Archangelsk Russia where there is no supply and every unit attritions to death Tommy: *invades them as Mustache man Germany" Tommy : It'S sO eAsY
I'm not sure if it still works like that, but if Hungary makes Austria-Hungary, then your focuses that would ally you to Hungary, will work on Austria-Hungary and if you don't go for the war economy through focuses, you can even make them your puppet.
71cloak did a video comparing saving the four year plan bonus and just rushing down the eco tree and rushing down the eco tree was better for factory count by 39, but that didn't account for output IIRC.
I think the mod didnt work properly. When i played the mod the ai had meta fighters and everything and it was really hard to break them. Try historical, i think thats the issue. And go into the advanced settings, you can do a lot uf stuff there.
I'm bad at the game so the AI skill isn't much of an issue, but I hate how the AI never researches new tanks/planes. I have like 600 hours and I've never seen Germany make a Tiger tank.
Hey im still a learning hoi4 player, and my question is: what division template are you using? And "impierceble" tanks. What design is this. Also in general do you have any tips for singleplayer and maybe multiplayer? Last question why start with your airforce that late?
Hey Tommy I started playing HOI4 August this year and I bought the 4 major DLC after about 2 weeks into the game and I really wanna get good at it like you but I'm so trash please guide onto becoming a pro like you... even I want to play expert difficulty and say "These guys are trash"... I have high hopes. Love -Fan
Bro that Vikings in Paris stuff is so boring. You've slightly improved since the days of nothing but a black hoodie with a tiny rune and a decent (but bloody pricey) mug. Someday I might buy something. Maybe do something like Farmer Tommy from CK3 blankly staring into void or something idk 😶
Yeah he got free Poland, free Austria, Hungary and Czech (ok it’s free irl but still), France didn’t join allies and the Soviets had the usual attrition civil war in so supply zobes
I like doing non historical cause you can have completely random roadblocks. Sometime you get lucky and all the majors destroy themself. Some times you get f’d. I had a commie Hungary game where Czech, yugo, Romania, and France were in a faction, Germany went empire (so there no attacking them), and Soviets started civil war right as I could join them. Leaving me alone and surrounded. So it’s pretty much 50/50 if you’ll get lucky. Also you can just set Soviets not to civil war. Or uk to stay historic. If you want a random start but ensure it dont become a land slide.
@@humpteedumptee8629 I mean that's perfectly fine, play the game however you want to, OP's point just was that the mod doesn't really work on non-historical setting. If you want to play Expert AI, you HAVE to play it on historical. This game's difficulty was basically a vanilla game on hard difficulty, not an Expert AI game on impossible ^^
Horrible display of this mod and ashame it was ahistorical. I play this AI mod A LOT and the AI is very noticeably worse on non-hist. The mod by default does not really give the AI advantages and is already a considerable step up from vanilla AI. They build competent tanks, planes, and divisions. This mod doesn't work well in non-hist because there is a lot of scripting to make the mod work that doesn't work on non-hist.
honestly expert ai in impossible mode is too easy. I play as Germany and i can conquer the world by 1944, I wont lose a single tile with the Soviet Union with only 5 armies, I can hold with france, I can hold france with britain and even D-day with britain in 1941 if i want to or lose france, i can kill Germany withing 1 week of landing with America i can kill China by 1938 with Japan or i can hold as China and even defeat japan by 1942, I can defeat the allies, Chinese united front and the comintern as Japan by 1944. I started with having difficulties holding as Russia and killing Russia as Germany to being as easy as vanilla. If you truly want a challange give all the countries insane attack,defensive, factory,dockyard, contsruction and efficiency growth buffs. Like 20-50% and then you will have a challange. I am currently playes as the Soviet Union with the Axis having a 20% attack and defensive bonus and 50% factory and dockyard output along with efficiency growth 100% buff. Thats a challange. After 2-3 games you might wanna increase the buffs even more
One of the things I've always found annoying about strategy games is that the difficulties don't affect AI behavior and are always just stat boosts
ai is going worse each year for RTS games . im happy AI in HOI4 use same economy as players and not cheat resources out of thin air ....
