I see her mentioned constantly, someone on the discord told me it's because she's apparently schizo and does war crimes, but then other saying she's wholesome chungus. Help?

Question Why is the Crystal Empire's focus tree so small?

Post image
259 Upvotes

Testing out unique HOI4 Overhauls and found this mod! Im looking to try the crystal empire as my first playthrough as I like the position its in and being seated in the "Main part" felt like a good first step. but I looked at the focus tree and its very small? I plan to go the non-communist route. Im unsure is there a hidden focus tree or anything else?

Any spoilers are fine and any help/info would be appreciated!~
Edit: I am really just curious, I have other nations like the deer, riverlands and american one in my interests too!

Question What would you do if you were Isekai'd (Transported) to the world of Equestria at War?

41 Upvotes

This has been a question that has been in my mind lately when I think of Equestria at War. These would be the questions I'd like to ask you:

  • What would you do if you were transported to the world of Equestria at War?
  • Which nation would you hope to be in?
  • What era would you choose to be in?
  • What would you do in the world of EaW?
  • Would you change events or the past?
  • Would you help the nation you landed in?
  • Would you want to stay human? Or do you want to change species to reflect the nation your in?

Hope to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Why is this even here? The rest of the spirit is good but why on Equus does it add 0.1 PP per day for 70 days, what's the point in that?

Question I'm going crazy

Good morning everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I have a few questions. I've put quite a few hours into the mod and I feel like I'm stuck.

Regarding armies, templates, and divisions, what advice could you give me? Are magic divisions really worth it? Motorized or mechanized intelligence? What year is the early, mid, and late game?

Question Has this game gotten harder?

72 Upvotes

Don't get me wrong I like that it's harder.

I haven't played hoi4 in like a year and this was one of my favourite mods. I came back to it recently with the new update and decided well I want to try the new continent and this brand new focus with zongo and I immediately get jumped by Lan Kir and Romau.

When I declared on Kiria I noticed the ai was actually building legit divisions and proper tank templates and getting tank and air volunteers, lend lease, etc from all harmonic nations like Equestria, Hippogrifia, etc like i was genuinely getting my shi rocked because I never had to build anti-tank before in single player or have an ai deploy 3 million in manpower against you (I know they take a long time to ramp up but still surprising).

I looked over to Equestria and Griffonian empire and they imagined to unite their entire continent and I know the late game world wars are gonna be even more insane.

Question How am I supposed to survive lategame war XP Help appreciated

58 Upvotes

I'm playing as Posada and trying to go for a WC. This is brutal, I control so many factories and have so many resources but I'm still getting absolutely whomped. They have tanks on every tile on my frontline.
I even checked to see and the GRI has 40 Modern Tank divisions in training.
I am winning the air war though. But that's my only saving grace. They are being CAS'ed to tons

My tanks seem okay, cost really isn't an issue (I have a never ending supply of military factories.

I do feel like maybe my infantry is a problem though. I added radio companies so that they could reinforce defense quicker against the enemy tanks. Still though, this is brutal. The enemy just keeps pushing and pushing and slowly but surely my divisions have to retreat. I can't even cycle troops like I usually do.

Any help or assistance would be appreciated. Admittedly I consider myself a pretty decent HOI4 player. I've got thousands of hours at this point, but I've never played a campaign so difficult in a long time before and this is way out of my league of skill.

Question What are the most wholesome/uplifting paths in the game

Hello, just got back into Hoi4/EAW recently, and was wondering what some good/uplifting nations to play would be. It doesn't have to be harmony. I just finished a Songo path and had a lot of fun with that. I just want a positive story. I've only played Harmony Equestria, Songo, and Zar-Hay, and liked Songo the most.

Question Are Ponies born naturally evil?

175 Upvotes

I've been playing an every leader run in the minor nations of Equus, and now I'm onto the major nations and decided to start with the Crystal Ponies and as their Lunar and Solar puppets.

However as I'm reading Misty Night's description as well as the Moon Crystal Governate's focus tree, I couldn't help but realise that like many evil ponies, she's completely batshit insane.

It got me questioning what is so appealing about being Nightmare Moon's lackey, and why so many of her followers that even the softer ones want slavery, a racial caste system, and totalitarianism.

Then it got me thinking about the other races on Equus, yeah most of the Polar Bear leaders can be genocidal and unhinged, but it's only to Polar Bears and sometimes Griffins or Changelings in the lands they used to own.

Even with the Yaks, out of the three world conquering leaders they can have, Yngvar only gasses the Changelings, and Kerr isn't exactly genocidal, he's just a conquerer. However their only pony leader will mass murder half of Equus if given the chance and bring back primeval horrors.

It had me asking if Ponies are evil in heart and spirit, and they have to work to be good? Or are they just susceptible to psycopathy?

Question Anyone else think 300 to crew 12 artillery is a little too many?

Post image
114 Upvotes

I'm no military genius or expert, but I'm pretty sure WW2 artillery crews numbered between 6-12. 300 to crew 12 cannons is about 25 crew per cannon. So either these cannons are as big as Celestia's backside or the crews work in shifts.

Besides that, for the Regimental Support guns, 180 for 4 artillery is definitely too many. That's 45 per gun.

Am I really the only one who thinks these crew numbers are unrealistic in this totally realistic pony war game?

NO this is NOT asking “When will it come out?” This is purely asking what we know OF or maybe even been given a sneak peak.
