Hearts of Iron IV - Beginner Tutorial - Construction

What province is in this Great Britain is DDRJake from?

My guess is either Perthshire given his accent, or the way he rolls his R's may betray that he is indeed from the Kingdom. Definitely not Aberdeen, Highlands or West coast way.

Edit: On a second listen that is a posh Edinburgh Accent. So I guess that is in the Lothian province?

Thanks for the answer ... is there a screen where we can see how much of this output our country has ? I haven't seen it in the videos I have watched so far ...

You just look at how many factories your country has. It's displayed at the top of the production screens, one for military and another for civilian.

State of Sussex with province of Dover, not state of Essex? Right at the start of the video. Or am I missing something.

Edit: I don't know why I was confused. State == Region and Province == County. If you're from Scotlandshire, Englandshire or Waleshire

No the voice over clearly says Essex (which isn't even a state in HoI) when the video is showing Sussex.

I hadn't noticed it before but the location of Norwich on the map is only slightly off . If I am being charitable it looks like Cambridge and Norwich got confused.

hmmmm ... ok ... but ... lets say I want to build railways ... the construction cost is 3.000 right ? how do I know if I really have those 3.000 or not ? normally there should be a screen or something telling me that for example I have 15.000 ... .... this is what I don't understand ....

"The Factory Output of each civilian factory is 5 per day. Construction Speed modifies the output for the building of all constructions."

Depending on laws, ministers, national spirits, national focuses you can get more out than that every day if I understands the wiki correct.

how do you not understand that the economy is no such a thing as over products to buy a factory or a ship you have the money and resources that have the international price at the stock exchange , no such I you 3 carrots you give me 1 rabbit

You don't store up production as some global resource. Each day each civilian factory will add its output to the construction they are working on.

You don't have 15000.
What you have is 10 industries.

Those 10 industries produce 5 per day each, thus 50 points.
You have a bonus of +10% for instance, making it 55 points per day.

the building cost 3000, with 55 points per day, it will be build int 55 days


If you produce nothing, it's lost forever !

It's not like other RTS where you need the production cost to begin production. Starcraft for example, you need say 50 minerals for a marine, and you have to wait for it to be mined before putting it in queue. In HOI4 you place the constructions in the queue, and civilian factories are automatically assigned, 15 maximum per construction for 55 output per day. Once this is done the factories roll over to the next ordered construction, and so forth. It's a lot better than trying to micromanage expending resources like other RTS.

That 3000 is how much factory output you need to complete that building, every factory produces around 5 per day I think, all these 5s add up until you have 3000 of them, You cant stockpile this "production" so if your factories aren't building anything they are going to waste.

Presumably, the labeling isn't very exact.

I was puzzled as well until I realized the wiki had the words 'from' and 'to' inverted. Your cunning plan for still using mil>civ conversion looks interesting . .

the whole time i was watching that video i was trying to get intel on irelands resources for my upcomnig multiplayer campaign lol is there anywere i can get information on ireland? also can you trade regions in diplomatic deals outside of warfare such as the uk giving ireland the north of the country in exchange for ireland joining the allies

thank you guys for your answers ... well .... a few days away and all questions will be answered I guess

I'd gladly give you three carrots and a rabbit if you'd stop talking about money in every thread you post in.

you probably still can not understand the essence of such an economy in the game, build a bunch of factories to make units make it live mini map and not craft a global strategy lost the whole essence of the game of global

 

[a.wenk]

build lots of factories and all beat Yes it can and balance for a quick multiplayer not as well, not for the global game strategi this is not a RTS strategy

You're absolutely right. I can match neither your intellectual nor linguistic skills - very few could - so I'll save my carrots and blow the dust off my ignore button.

You skipped over rockets and nukes btw...
