@princesse_266 We want to wake up, not get nightmares

u/ddontworyboutit has found the kind of alarm we'd like to wake up to... Are there any other sound effects from Hearts of Iron that would work well as an alarm? http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETUrNwDXkAA5KDI.jpg

@PdxInteractive We're in

It's also given us one of the best ever comment sections on the steam workshop. 93 pages of why 🤔 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETPiseDXkAE8PxO.png

In 1.9 we made it possible for modders to change the amount of time each in-game hour takes, and the 'HOI4 in Real Time' mod takes it to the extreme At Speed 1, one in-game hour will take 60 real minutes to complete.

@DStaniforth Nice work!

Equine Entrenchment! It'd be totally remiss of us not to share this awesome comic u/Ullern posted the other day on the hoi4 reddit. Awesome work - see the reddit thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hoi4/comments/ff2x3u/oc_5_entrenchment/ http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETJ8quKWkAImUMw.jpg

Since La Resistance was released, Spain has been a hugely played nation- but which ideological paths are more popular? According to our telemetery, its the anarchist path which has the biggest single chunk, with a 50/50 split between Nationalist and Republican. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETEy8wzWkAE0t6c.jpg

@DrathMoritz Are you enabling random behavior in the game rules, or just unchecking the 'historical AI focuses' box?

This weekend's achievement spotlight is one that lots of you have you been trying already according to our telemetry. To get 'Well, I didn't vote for you', all you need to do is win the Spanish Civil War as the Anarchists. What's the best strategy for this? http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ETAE9goXsAgRp71.jpg

@GuillermoLvG Yeah for true randomness you'll need to change behavior in the game rules. Unchecking the historical focuses box will (by default) set the AI to default behavior, which has some focuses weighted

One of the biggest questions to decide when you start up a new game is how you want the AI to behave- as they did in history, or the extra challenge of unpredictability? Which do you prefer: Historical or Random AI behavior? http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ES67NQ_XkAAa8tQ.jpg

@tkg_codes The change is in the basegame 1.9 patch

@AnarchoShanties The change is in the basegame 1.9 patch

Over on Reddit, u/Alfredystebakk has found the most important buff the Allies received in 1.9... At least the resident of Johnston Atoll has some friends now, right? http://pbs.twimg.com/media/ESwn7UCWkAomUsV.jpg

@Stratidemic What do you struggle with?
