The Obligatory HOI 4 Strange Screenshot (and video!) Thread

[Axe99]

This thread's been quiet for a while (but I feel it's the kind of thread to keep going rather than start a new one, even if it's been quiet for a little while - but if I've got that wrong mods, smack me down as appropriate ). Here's a shot from a game in Vanilla+ (historical focuses well and truly off - I'm playing Italy, and the only two countries I declared war on were Yugoslavia and Greece - bonus points for working out what happened to lead to here!)

You joined the Axis, and Germany declared war for the Sudetenland and most of Europe. The event fired, and Germany picked a civil war, over a new leader, and you mopped up half of Europe, and are trying to capture France from Democratic Germany.

Not too far off - I didn't join the Axis though (I hadn't by the time Germany DoW'd Czechoslovakia), but the Civil War did fire and at that point, France was in the Allies so the French/British/Poles/Czechs cleaned up Germany. However, after that France went Communist and joined the Comintern. I then got hit by Democratic Germany guaranteeing Greece while the NF was processing, bringing me at war with the GDR and Greece at the same time. This was going terribly until the USSR declared war on Poland, drawing in France. With the German armies distracted, I cleaned up most of Germany and Eastern Poland, while the Comintern took the rest. Then, however, the Netherlands joined the Allies and they slowly broke out and overran France, and the GDR was the country that seemed to be given the occupation (and like a good Mussolini, I waited for France to be beaten before I got involved ).

Why is it dead, is there no strange things in HoI4? I have something for you.... Civil war in Spain is over 3 years late to the party:

1 year later got Sunset Invasion achievement thanks to no hostile navy present (otherwise would need to fight probably allied forces).

This is extremely un probable. The event has a MTTH of 150 (days) and can start after february 1936. It's so impossible I'm pretty sure it's a bug. You should probably send your save file to Paradox (and Paradox should delay the Spanish Civil War, which is stupidly early in most games).

Unprobable, not impossible. MTTH of 150 days means that in 50 % of the games, the event fires within thos 150 days, 75% within 300 days, etc. I'm pretty certain this isn't a bug

No. 69% in 150 days. 95% in 600 days. And some 99.99999% after 900 days. MTTH is not linear.

Okay, but that still makes it improbable, not impossible, if enough individual games of HOI4 are played, the SCW won't trigger at all in one of them

That would be hilarious if it was a game that player takes Spain and waits for CW

It depends on the distribution - which as far as we know we don't know - but it's worth keeping in mind that I doubt they'll have gone with a distribution that was infinitely wide. If you do know the statistical distribution used, I'd be very interested to know (as I use MTTH a bit - in fact, I think I might ask....)

At least on HOI III, every time you load and save the timer starts agains, so if you save and load a lot this was common. I dont know if on HOI IV is the same

Gonna put it here as well because I thought it was funny.

I would have taken Austria as well - just to guarantee all that Swiss chocolate has to go through my own hands....

 

[Seven Sulivin]

Wait, why is Germany in the war and simultaneously not?

It's like Sweden, not fighting but not neutrail

I have Austria as a satellite, but the lone white blip in Europe is Switzerland, who wisely stayed out of my way.

Operation Barbarossa was put on hold...

Because the germans were having a beach party...

Hey If I may ask what map mod are you using? I would appreciate it!

[Faeelin]

Sadly, the Olympics were to be followed by World War 2.5, where the Germans dropped nuclear weapons on several US cities. Oops.

I'm using better terrain mod, better political map and no fog of war (removes the cloud textures)
