Sweden now unplayable?

[Eh up me duck]

Playing as Sweden, despite going for fascist ASAP it took me until late 1938 to get the referendum...okay, fine. Then once I became fascist I couldn't do anything as war support is so low and there doesn't seem to be a way to change it?!? You'd have thought that a fascist party might have some propagandists on hand to raise support for a war (which is literally what Goebbels' job was), but apparently not.

Send attaches to Japan. Do war propaganda as soon as you can.

There should be a decision to do war propaganda once war tension gets high enough.

A country that has an official policy of neutrality and didn't fight in WW2 having difficulty mustering support for a war sounds like things are working correctly.

If thats the case then why can you change goverment at all, if you argue that since Sweden was democratic had a neutral policy, you shouldent chnage history, then why play at all ?. then why allow any deviation from History ?... As far as i know Hoi IV is more of a sandbox that creates possibilities for what IF happened...

Now im not sure how much history you know, but Sweden is a very old country, Sweden as a nation has been in war in more years then USA have existed as a nation, the neutrality is a very modern and late concept that is very brief in Swedens history...

But as i pointed to firstly, if you allow change in the first place, then allow it to atleast be something that works, otherwise there isnt much use for it ?

It looks like I can only do that once?

Well you can allways "cheat" hit >>> § <<< and type ws 50 should add 50 war support or something... can do it when fascist hit power, to simulate the rising change in the country

The biggest problem imo is that paradox made it abnormally hard to turn fascist as a democratic country. I'm starting to think that it's easier to unite the nordic countries as Finland, just because they're NA

Norway and Denmark both have cripplingly low war support. And they give Venezuela 52% so they can get war economy by the summer of 1936 making their division spam even worse. I think most european countries should ave 50%+ war support, and latin american countries should have 25% at max. But I do think Sweden's war support should be low. Same for Romania, except if they pick balkan dominance. There's still a lot of stuff to fix about war support in general.

You're reversing the course of not only the nations political ideology but its stance on foreign wars. That should take awhile. The fact that you can't build enough war support before guarantees or countries start joining factions isn't an issue. Swedish neutrality may have been relatively new, but nobody alive then was around before the concept was adopted.

Being neutral is tied to the politics, IF you manage with the GAME SYSTEM in a SANDBOX game to change the political system to be fascist then you change the view of the people ... the change should already happen as you change the support for the political change... or changing to a fascist poltics is rather pointless to beginn with... why change to something that can start war, but you cant in any case since there is no tools to up War Support in a bigger way... then you just could stay democratic

Swedens neutrality happened in and around WWI, if you read the history, things could gone very difrent in WWI, there were actual talks between sweden and germany about them helping sweden get finland back, wich was still in Russian hands... and thats sort of the point with Hoi IV, its a what IF happened, it allows nations to take or do things that dident happen, or wasent very plausible to happen... and if you have a system that allows you to go fascist and be more war mongering then you need tools so you can actually warmonger... or its rather pointless to change politics in the first place...
