Cheat their ass off in HOI4/Kaiserreich just to see the map go red?

I’m not megamind enough to “get” grand strategy, especially Paradox games. I just like to bump production to 10,000% and form the United Socialist South American States.

    I haven’t really used much cheats. I need to find up to date strategy guides, because I play infrequently enough that every time I come back and play Russia, it seems they change the strategy to get Russia back to socialism. Do I appease the Mensheviks and SRs and Narodniks to build an empowered Left/Center-Left to where Bukharin is optimistic about a coup, or do I always crack down and take the furthest right position for accelerationism to kick in? I remember both at some point being the way to get there.

    Out of every strategy game I’ve played, HOI4 just eludes me. Can’t do anything in that game despite spending ages watching pros and reading different tutorials. It’s a shame because it’d be fun to experiment with alternate histories, but alas.

      Don’t blame you at all. I play Kaiserredux (using Easybuff+, cheats set to a bajillion) and sometimes the alt history is cringe as hell obviously written by libs with surface level knowledge of history, but… sometimes it’s worth it, like forming the USSR out of Georgia.
