I left the AI control the Theaters and trading, though. I managed everything else.

And AI likes to fuck up theaters, goddamnit. Everytime I reassigned them to a new area or started a war, I had to turn off AI control or else they would simply sit there. I was in Jun 40, and was 1 month in against Norway but the troops didn't move an inch.

How do you successfully stage coups? i don't understand it. i don't think it is just clicking the button time after time hoping that it works


 No.3608

>>3606

You have to spend YEARS influence your target nations politics before you can do it successfully. If you're trying to do it with say, Germany, if you start influence Britain or France full force from the start of the game, you MIGHT have gotten enough support for Fascism there to pull of the coup before you invade Poland. I find the most useful country to do it on (as Germany, at least) is the USA, because you have more time, plus if you build up enough support they'll even elect the fascists themselves.

>>3608

i did it to venezuela successfully. it isn't working out for the USA though. my party has 48% influence there and all the others at like 20 or 10% and i still fail

so basically just get the majority of the people to be for your party?

i got all brazilian provinces to 100% infrastructure, but then the british came in and FUCKED MY SHIT UP

next time germany asks me to join a war, i'm going to say nein


 No.3616

>>3615

it was tough as fuck getting the entire amazon rainforest to 100% infrastructure. i wish the game would lessen the attrition with higher infrastructure installed

for example a lvl 2 infrastructure jungle causing tanks to weaken its attack by 90% but then as infrastructure reaches 10, it only weakens it by 30% since then the jungle won't be too different from any other province

>i wish the game would lessen the attrition with higher infrastructure installed

Wait, what? Doesn’t every single other game they make do that? Why wouldn’t their game that is actually designed to be a fucking war-game do it?!

>wasting all that IC building TC in the fucking Amazon

Anon, what the hell made you think that was a good idea? Why would you ever even need to be fighting in the Amazon in the first place? I mean, alright, I can see why you might want to upgrade the coast, but why the fucking Rainforest? You could have spent all that IC building actual troops and other defences.


 No.3656

>>3616

You highways might be the finest highways in the world, but there's still jungle all around them.


 No.3677

>>3654

This; real, modern Brazil doesn't have highways criss-crossing throughout the rainforest

>>3614

>basically just get the majority of the people to be for your party?

I think, and I could easily be wrong, that the target countries national unity needs to be below your party's influence.


 No.3681

>>3677

this makes sense. i just wish hearts of iron iii didn't have a retarded cap on spies in a single country. seriously sending 10 people to influence 300 million isn't going to go too well


 No.3682

>>3654

it's good for conquering the rest of south america. all countries other than brazil have poor infrastructure and my troops would starve to death or simply be blocked out from the provinces due to black tiles. brown people can't make good infrastructure


 No.3694

>>3681

As a IC does not represent a single factory, a spy does not represent an actual spy.

I mean: the whole British intelligence being completely mobilized on international spying could produce more than one spy every day.

See it as a spy team like the planes are and entire squadron.

>>3682

You don't have attrition on your own territory. Your infrastructure only protect the enemy from the attrition, and allow everybody to strategic move faster and to send more ammo on the road.


 No.3708

>>3682

It's true, literally only Pedro II and his dad made good infrastructure


 No.3767

>>3539

fine African-American gentleman, have it autosave every month.

You learned the hard way, I guess…


 No.3799

>over 1.1k IC if i were to do total economic mobilization

>only have enough resources to support 515 IC

god i need a reason to go to war with someone. and no i didn't cheat, i am playing a custom game on normal difficulty as the USA. I have 4 states completely full of IC and am currently building 50 divisions of tanks to fuck someone up with. fuck the USA and their high neutrality. at least when playing as brazil I am given the option to lower my neutrality over time

I was able to build 200 IC factories in about 180 days before natural resources crashed down and FUCKED MY SHIT UP


 No.3800

>>3799

I forgot to factor in the IC bonus from technology, I would actually end up with over 1.3k of IC if i were to do total economic mobilization


 No.3802

>>3800

1.7k if paradox adds the 50% bonus before applying my 30% bonus instead of adding 80% to the 755 (now 772) base IC that i have
