No launcher when opening the game No launcher when opening the game
Question

Hello all, new to hoi and have recently purchased the DLC/intend to use mods at some point.

As I understand it, the enabling and disabling of mods/DLC takes place through what I believe to be the paradox launcher, but whenever I open the game no such launcher opens: I am put straight into the game's main loading screen.

Is this expected? Everywhere I've looked on the internet for information regarding enabling/disabling mods/DLC indicates towards the Paradox launcher, but I have at no point seen it.

I should clarify that I am using the Steam version of the game.


There is a hard cap on the amount of supply you can distribute, isn't there? There is a hard cap on the amount of supply you can distribute, isn't there?
Question

If my capital borders 5 provinces, I can only build up to 5 railways that connect directly to it. If they are top level, max throughput of those railways is 175 supply units, so no more than 175 units of supply can leave my capital. Does that mean that I can never literally ever fully support more than 175 supply worth of units, or am I missing something?






Need Help triggering Sweden War Event As Soviets Need Help triggering Sweden War Event As Soviets
Question
https://preview.redd.it/need-help-triggering-sweden-war-event-as-soviets-v0-lnb8857cpl9d1.png

I'm looking on every forum - I've triggered this as soviet many times, but now that I've actually prepared a strong army to end sweden quickly, the event REFUSES to trigger

I've tried

  • starting finland war before poland capitulates

  • getting "we need all of finland" before poland capitulates

  • strategic bombing of every province of finland

  • intentionally taking casualties (i dont really want to go over 100k is that it?)

  • having less than 160 divisions total and in training

I'm running out of ideas what's the trick?




Would hoi5 even be a good idea? Would hoi5 even be a good idea?
Question

Would hoi5 even be a good idea to make, like would anyone really play it? Hoi4 has already got an incredible amount of support, amazing mods and an expensive ass amount of DLCs, and I feel like at this point I just wouldn’t buy hoi5 as I’ve spent unholy amounts of money on this one and still thoroughly enjoy it thanks to things like mods, so I don’t really understand why everyone wants hoi5 so much





What’s the Hardest Preset Setup For a Challenging Soviet Union Game? What’s the Hardest Preset Setup For a Challenging Soviet Union Game?
Question

Hi, I love challenging myself with large countries that like actually have resources since you can build good divisions/have an economy/all that.

That said, it is pretty easy as the Soviet Union on just historical AI focuses. What are the country preset’s for the AI that would be the most difficult to play against? Shogunate Japan/normal Germany/lots of fascism but if anybody has tips that’d be great.

The more fronts/more managing the better (I always leave Finland alive to strike me again in the Continuation war for example).





Good Medium Tank template for... Fascist Guangxi Clique??? Good Medium Tank template for... Fascist Guangxi Clique???
Question

It's mid-1939 and I just massacred the warlords, commies and nationalists (took national leadership).

I have NSB and I made a starter tank (Close Support Gun and basic stuff) with '38 Chassis but I want to take on Japan in a bit (2-3 years).

What template should I use? And I 100% have the resources for it since...well I'm Guangxi I every resource except for aluminum (get from the Soviets) and rubber (im right next to southeast Asia)
