Hoi4 Meta Templates 2023 (2024)

FAQs

Are 14 4s still good in HoI4? ›

Infantry wise, the same divisions is still good: 14 infantry, 4 artillery, with engineers, recon, logistics, sup artillery, and signal companies. These are good for attack; defense you can half the infantry and artillery battalions.

15 21-Width Infantry: Good All Rounders

The standard, go-to template for most players, this 21-Width Infantry division is relatively low-cost, reliable, and performs well in most terrains, especially forest and jungle. It works best as a basic infantry unit, used to hold the line or make a general push along the front.

Each division consists of up to five combat regiments and five support companies. In turn, each combat regiment is composed of up to five battalions. It costs 5 XP to add a battalion to a division; regardless if it is the same or new regiment.

The game was banned in the People's Republic of China because of the game's depiction of Taiwan under Japanese control and Tibet, Sinkiang, and Manchuria as independent nations (historically, Manchuria was a Japanese puppet state and Taiwan was under Japanese control for most of the time period depicted in the game).

However, there is a big difference in the learning curve, as the overall pacing differs, so in a way EU4 is more friendly to beginners. In a nutshell, I'd say it's easier to learn but harder to master, you just have to play it with a different mindset.

9/1 9 Infantry Battalions / 1 Artillery Battalion makes a 21w. You can fit this division 4 times in a tile on most terrains. Still defensive but with some more soft attack value and a small PC cost on artillery. 7/2 The infamous 7 Infantry Battalions / 2 Artillery makes a 20w. A bit more all-around division.

Anti-tank artillery deals a lot of hard damage and has high piercing, making them excel in taking out vehicles on the ground. However, their low soft attack means they are not very effective against softer targets, such as infantry.

Fans of Hearts of Iron 4 who want to find an adequate Combat Width to accommodate most combat situations should consider Combat Width 15. This isn't to say that Combat Width 15 can take down most enemies, but this Width has the advantage of having the least penalties for terrain types and attack directions.

Generals can command up to 24 divisions effectively unless they are in "Garrison Area" mode, during which the limit is tripled to 72 divisions.

Highly complex (but not gory) World War 2 simulator

The game starts off in history, but events will usually deviate to some degree, creating innumerable alternate historical possibilities. The warfare you see is generally about as violent as a board game.

What is the difference between a division and a battalion in hoi4? ›

Each division consists of 1-25 battalions - also sometimes called line battalions. This is the main fighting force, and the primary source of most statistics.

Multiple divisions can be trained in parallel in one deployment by clicking "Add Unit" and divisions can also be trained sequentially by changing the number above. A location on the map must be selected where divisions will spawn as they leave the deployment phase.

For the division naming, there are two mutually-exclusive ways to do so: name = "Unit's name" directly changes the name of the division to the given string. division_name = { ... } instead uses the name group assigned to the division template: is_name_ordered = yes is mandatory to include.

Grand strategy games, such as Hearts of Iron, Crusader Kings, or Stellaris, are a sub-genre or sister genre of 4X that typically require even more detailed planning and execution than games like Civilization or Master of Orion.

The base game effectively ends around 1942 in terms of focus trees and 1944ish in terms of tech. You can play as long as you like, and I've seen people go on runs until like 1980, but it gets very content-barren once focus trees start to run out of content.

DLCs like Battle For The Bosporus and La Resistance add depth with new focus trees and espionage mechanics for strategic gameplay. Consider a DLC subscription for affordable access to all existing and future Hearts of Iron 4 content, offering a cost-effective way to enjoy the game's offerings.
