Then the fascism popularity in your country will slowly increase until it becomes high enough for you to officially become fascist and do all the fascist things. Might be other ways to speed the process up like making the decision to raid or ban Because from what i can tell, when a civil war ends, you dont get a peace conference and theres no chance to actually take land. The wiki says that you get to keep land that you have occupied, but i dont think thats true. Archived post. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Germany, hands down. Good industry, ideal terrain to invade (Poland, SU, France), good generals, good advisors, good early tech bonuses in the focus tree, good starting research and the SCW which allows you to train up your tanks and get good army XP. Noob question. German Empire defending Finland from the Soviets. I'm playing German Empire (I kicked out Hitler and won the civil war and so on) and I'm trying to play non-expansionist, focusing on defending Europe from the Soviet Union. It's now 1940 and the Soviet Union attacked Finland, the independence of which I guarantee. Joining the Allies or becoming Communist are imo the way to go.

I agree in spirit but the modded versions of the game I've played that do have a Continuation War led to some really undesirable AI behavior, namely the Soviets shuffling constantly and being unable to adequately prioritize the different fronts, and the Germans redirecting most of their tank divisions to the forests of Finland, i.e. the place with the worst terrain and supply on the Eastern Play Smart.

Maintaining 5:1 losses is acceptable, 10:1 is better. View community ranking. For the achievement as Finland, you need to create the faction with the focus (non-aligned, world tension >50% and at peace), and only include one member. If I create the faction in end 39 just before the winter war, every Baltic and Nordic state immediatly joins, and then Germany attacks Norway and Danemark, dragging Play non-historical to make it a bit easier, but I formed the nordic union, helped soviets beat Germany then declared on the Soviets. Don't call any allies and capitulate them. I took some land in the peace deal but not much and the achievment popped after. Norway Is Impossible. I only just got hearts of Iron about three days ago and I've decided to play as Norway, on my first attempt I didn't know what anything meant and failed horrificaly so I watched some videos and each one said to take out either: denmark, Finland or sweden. I can do Denmark and Sweden but the Brittish and the French come in 3We8m9M.
