Won't be playing HOI4 for the while (at least until next update or next expansion) and my reasons for it.

[Jeankazuhiza]

Yeah, i know it's a quite extreme decision and i know that it will be a while but there are my reasons for why i'm doing this...

1. I attempted to play Turkey's militaristic fascist route and it's quite imposible (a.k.a leading the country as Fevzi Cakmak in a fascist government), since there's nothing that can raise fascism when you chose the Turkish nationalist focus (If anyone did achieve this, please correct me and tell me how).
2. I also attempted to appease the kurds but it almost seems impossible since they win almost the time. I hope it can be fixed, but at the same time, keep it's proper difficulty. It seems that the BftB needs a bit of polish and bugfixing, but seems a good concept to me.
3. Since we expect a expansion that may feature Italy and U.R.S.S.'s new national focus, i want to know what happens if there's a route where Trotsky (while there's already an event that triggers a Civil War, there's no route beyond the Permanent Revolution focus) disbands the Comintern and forms the 4th International. (Considering that one of the national spirits is Greek Stalinism, maybe we can get Greek Trotskyism, which of course leds me to the most positive reason of my decision).
4. The fact that focuses change name when someone else is leading gave it a good flavor to one of my games, when i chose the DP instead of the RTP, i loved when the name of the focus was changed, i hope we can get more of these things in the future.

I still have hope that HOI4 can be a better game, not a perfect one, but a great one. I loved BftB's concept, but i feel it needs to fix several things and i guess more of other things that i may not have pointed.

With nothing else to say all i can tell you is HAPPY NEW YEAR, HOPE THAT 2021 IS A BETTER YEAR AND WISH YOU GOOD HEALTH AS WELL.

1. There is an Avid Turanist available but way late, requires the focus Misak-i Milli. Germany and Italy both have a focus to influence your ideology, but so does the UK.
If you rehab the Kadro movement instead of nationalism, you get a Fascist prime minister and Red shirts man power.
2. It's a big gamble, best chances are that the first to have a crisis is Van or Hakkari and gains fatigue, then you lose an average of 20% stability on the the remaining 3.
otherwise your looking at 35% loss average. When the odds slip out of your favor, they even out over time, so pressing the issue can cost even more. Spies and anti partisan training helps from loosing too much manpower and equipment over time. I think it only needs to disable for a state with fatigue.

I think in general, most of us have too much expectation for playing a minor power in WWII.

Happy new year and good luck!
I hope you choose to stay or come back soon.

Was this an attempt at irony?

You can use the revolutionism decision and the 'authorise nuri kagili factory' decision to raise fascism to 30%

Happy new year too! I never said that i would leave the forum, i just said that i won't be playing HOI4 for the while.

I'll take a shot with your advice of all of you, i'll be playing tomorrow.

One more thing about the Kurds thing.
Sometimes a State in Revolt, will have a second and a third crisis. On the 3rd, it gains 30-35ish% to pacify.
That happened in my current game, Van had a crisis 3 times in a row. When I saw the 3rd Crisis is when I went after the other 3 states (lost the expected average 15%).
I figured if it's the only state left, a 4th crisis is bound to pacify even easier, but they pacified on the 3rd.

 

[Jeankazuhiza]

Well... i just have done it!

I went fascist as Fevzi Cakmak. The Kurds pacified!

Thanks for your support!

(Considering that one of the national spirits is Greek Stalinism, maybe we can get Greek Trotskyism, which of course leds me to the most positive reason of my decision).

I actually did some research on this when I was making my Greek political focuses suggestions a while back, and while it did exist, the Greek Trotskyite party is in the same category as the EEE. They existed but were so pathetically tiny, that it would be impossible for them actually get power. The communist paths that the developer chose are reasonable historically correct.
