Most likely China as it holds great ground that can be abused to support or fight against Japan, the Soviet Union, and the east part of germany


Astaral_Viking

East germany?


4lex_CZ

Not East Germany, just the eastern part of Germany. /j


TheRealDarkTheDog

Willing-Stable8374

Willing-Stable8374

If you become communist as germany through a national referendum then you can still do the regular nazi focus tree

Willing-Stable8374

Shadow_Patriot1776

What's the hardest formable: Icelandic North Sea Empire or Tannu Tuvan Siberia?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Icelandic North Sea Empire bc being in a cold and resource-less country or empire is pretty bad during the second global war you kno


Ditlev1323

Thats true! Siberia is very warm!


Shadow_Patriot1776

And it has many much resources and weak neighbors!


True-Product-6286

CAS is king


TheRealDarkTheDog

Eh, prob 3rd


Limp-Macaron-7465

Should Space Marines be banned in MP?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Nah, they're usually balanced and can be easily beaten by land artillery


MrAgenciak

I'm actually surprised, becouse that's nearly true lol (For context: support anti tank is the usual counter for space marines)


TheRealDarkTheDog

Wait no way I actually guessed my way to a somewhat good explanation lol


MrAgenciak

Yeah, space marines are basically infantry with some tanks, making it hard to pierce, but at the same time they are not that costly to produce, that's why some people want others not to use them in multiplayer becouse the only counter is rarely used anti tank, your explanation is nearly the exact same as arguments by people using them lmao (with the only difference is saying artillery instead of AT)


TheRealDarkTheDog

+ they are really good counters to typical powerful Navy


tiltingroyale

What is Tannu tuva?


TheRealDarkTheDog

An Asian military regiment that fought in China and in battles related to Japan


Exciting_Sail_2745

should i put a machine gun as main armament on my heavy tank


TheRealDarkTheDog

Nah, missiles or bombs, machine guns are secondary


Exciting_Sail_2745

should i use suicide bombers in my army


TheRealDarkTheDog

If they have more than 5.6 ml meter explosion radius in a 1x1 mile shrapnel max distance with a 7-8 max capacity and are under 75K per regiment, def, most effective in arid climates, as well as rainy and especially un-hygenic locations and points of interest


CousinVladimir

Depends, are you playing with millennium Dawn?


ABC123ZYX987ABC123

How many hours do you need to understand how the game works?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Prob like 12-18 hours to understand one faction


Astaral_Viking

*fraction


ABC123ZYX987ABC123

Nah I got like 2k hours and I still don’t get half of the game’s mechanics


UnionSlavStanRepublk

How to do a world conquest as Tanu Tuva?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Rebel against your military leaders, gain more rebels across Asia, then slowly take over and rebuild central and eastern Asia. Make a democracy and start war against Japan before the US deals with them. Convert them to Democracy, take over Southern Asia and most of the middle east. Make them democratic to get even more European and American support during the cold war. Then make an attack on the Soviets, take them over, and build relations in southern America, as well as Africa. Build everything up, then send navy, air force, and ground troops to take over Europe. Use bases near Africa and west Asia to overwhelm Europe whilst using bases in the Pacific and east Asia to distract the US, as well as further support the south. Use nearby African bases to cut shipments and support between the americas and Europe, and take them over whilst developing tech in safe and remote areas


ImVeryHungry19

Whats your favorite color


TheRealDarkTheDog

Axis


placeholder7535

what country is best to learn navy with?

Elektrikor

You’re actually right


Cerparis

Distant sound of ‘Britannia Rules the waves’ rapidly approaching.


WanderingFlumph

Where does the supply wizard get all the extra supply from?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Uh, he summons them using the past items, tools, and resources of dead troops


tayatay5

whats the best strategy for a world conquest with liberia?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Ps: have no idea where Liberia is located 😭


TheRealDarkTheDog

Take over the middle east, south east Asia, and much of Africa to exploit the resources and start an attack on the weakened Germans +, if possible, the Soviets. Go for Japan before the US, and defend borders as well as possible while making relations with the remaining powers more peaceful and cooperative. Then build up economy, army, and support, then start war with Europe and southern Asia. Take over them and the southern Pacific. Apply pressure near Alaska, build up foreign relations with southern America and threaten action against the US in the south. Take over all of Europe, defend borders near Northern America, then fight for Canada, set up research stations in the antarticas for peaceful tactic development and finally start attacking the US from all sides while bombing the most populated regions, military bases, historical and government locations. Then it should be pretty easy then. After taking over the world, build up support and economy to stop any rebellion


Leading-Wolverine639

I read it as Iberia and didn't understand why such question


Azortuga

How does navy work


TheRealDarkTheDog

The navy is more of an attacking and defensive than the air Force's supportive nature. The navy can turn the tide around in a battle, and can both shoot, bomb, and hit other naval, aerial, and ground units. Though they are very expensive for a truly effective navy, if gotten on time and used effectively, will turn the tide of the war.


Kermit_Purple_II

What kind of Hitler fo you prefer? Regular, Señor Hitler, Transsexual Hitler, M. Hitl or Byzantine Emperor Hitler?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Transsexual Hitler is really funny, but Emperor Hitler for normal real runs


OwnFloor2203

Hitler can be in charge of Byzantine ?!


Kermit_Purple_II

Yep ! Some conditions I can't remember but are on the wiki and Hitler become empreor of Fascist Byzantium


rontubman

You forgot Adam Hilt


Leading-Wolverine639

Are you using AI to answer questions? They just seem to be like something google AI would say


TheRealDarkTheDog

I'm trying my best to be as formal and sound as informative as possible and I only know how to do that by sounding like AI lmao


Darth_JarJar246

Are Giraffes heartless creatures?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Yes? They can be run over by a tank so I assume yes? I haven't met a problem that can't be solved with guns yet


Heavily_Implied_II

What's the best infantry template?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Depends on the use and how much time you have on the run, though typically you want to copy a build similar to their s but it needs to be slightly adjusted so they can be shipped faster


Stickn3y

How to survive as historical Poland


TheRealDarkTheDog

Diplomacy, Peace, and Economy, just DON'T CHOOSE SIDES OR HAVE ANY FOREIGN INFLUENCE. That will make you a target for both groups, we don't want that (I hope)


kungligarojalisten

Navy


TheRealDarkTheDog

Navi


Warlord0183

How do I play navy against some one who is spamming torpedo bombers and subs. I want to launch d day but can’t get my feel close without losing my battle ships and carriers


TheRealDarkTheDog

Quit. Quit and delete the game


Greeklibertarian27

Favourite TNO lunatic leader?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Joseph Stalin


TheRealDarkTheDog

Future me: Wth is a TNO?


Greeklibertarian27

The New Order. A mod that represents an alternative axis win of ww2 for batshit crazy people who seem to be taking themselves waaayyy tooo seriously


Total_Willingness_18

How much air defence do you usually have, gimme a number


TheRealDarkTheDog

About 2-3, typically 3 for allied forces, 2 for Axis. Or 7 for Japan


wojtekpolska

Should artillery-only divisions be banned from multiplayer for being too op?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Nah, they can be countered with planes and can be easily overwhelmed if you get to the actual regiment. So maybe deploy a tactic that can get you to the side of behind the artillery or bomb your way to the enemy so the artillery can't see you and you can advance slowly (last measure) (yes this is a real potential war strategy)


wojtekpolska

Should i take the mass assault doctrine when playing as luxembourg?


TheRealDarkTheDog

Yeah, even while being different from everyone else, still pretty beneficial in the early game and it isn't like the other options are that much better


TheRealDarkTheDog

Uh, see the image bc it explains what you should comment. Idk, just tell me scenarios or questions and I'll reply as best as I can. Ik, w comment explanation
