  • Hearts of Iron IV with the Millenium Dawn mod as a newbie.

    I’m playing on recruit difficulty, cause the AI would have gotten a bunch of bonuses whereas I would have been left with 0 advantages. I’m playing as Hungary with the goal of going through the historical route till 2010, cause the hungarian focus tree seems to prefer that, and I’m in the process of puppeting Slovenia by inflience alone and attacking Slovakia way later.

    We love irredentism. I’m not an actual irredentist nutjob, but grand strategy games bring out the most unhinged version of ourselves.



  • Well I’ve tried once using a mini PC with 1 hdd being connected to it through USB as a pilot test if it works, but the OS consistently shut off or didn’t want to boot at some time, cause the HDD got voltage issues. But maybe it could be different for a phone, who knows.

    EDIT: For clarification. My pilot test was for seeing if a HDD can be ran through an USB 24/7 without any issues, rather than buying a proper PC and inserting said HDD into it’s intended SATA port. The HDD got undervoltage issues from the terminal, because the USB port couldn’t supply enough voltage to the HDD, which is not only unreliable for a 24/7 NAS solution, but also may damage the HDD (or the USB port I don’t remember anymore) whilst trying to run it under it’s required voltage. Also I set my HDD to be auto mounted on boot, and as a safety mechanism Rocky Linux doesn’t boot if it has undervoltage issues for one of it’s components.










  • Ahh thanks for asking! I’ve just recently started playing the game starting in 1850 on the slowest date speed but it really does seem like a perfect game for autists (cause trains). My experience only goes to 1866, so do take that in fact.

    My only reference point is Cities Skylines and obviously speaking the transportation aspect of the TPF2 is way more in-depth than C:S. Currently I’m easily managing the traffic issues, although truck stations can be sometimes a traffic bottleneck. Figuring out train routes, putting down signals, passing lines can be a good brain game for me which gives me a lot of satisfaction if I succeed at it. In terms of difficulty, I’m playing on medium without industry frequencies and the game just “snowballs” in difficulty. So if you prop down 1 or 2 profitable lines then your life already starts to get noticeably easier over time.
