      Yes but it is really hard to make an AI that is good at playing the game while not making it predictable. A good AI would also need massive resources to run at the same rate as a humain.
      And in the case of hoi4 you would need one AI for all of the other nations. Most PCs wouldn’t support it.
      Those buff are the best options they have to increase difficulty while not spending half the development ressources in AI.

    I never mess with the 'difficulty' setting. When I play with friends and we want a challenge, we boost the specific major nations we will be facing to a certain degree using the 'Custom Game Rules' section. Works a bit better to make it more difficult as the AI actually gets bonuses to pretty much everything rather than just supply and fuel and it has the added benefit of not nerfing yourself into the ground. Mods are definitely a good option though to make the AI seem 'smarter'

    2. Open map game with hard difficulty.
    3. Have no fun but stress out while you have no way to raise enough troops to even defend your borders let alone conquer anything and the AI thrwarts your every move, not with any intelligence but with huge buffs.
    4. Proceed to complain about how hard and "unhistorical" it is.
    5. Angrily close map game.

    Rules are simple :
    you are not allowed any kind of demand in a peace deal unless every single tile of the world is available to demand. You can still participate in wars with any allies you want but if you enter a peace deal with them you have to exit without any demands. Any kind of strat is allowed.

    Veteran and Elite difficulties aren't exactly "difficulty" settings so much as they are tedium settings. The production and research debuffs, admittedly, do make things a bit more troubling, but in a game where you are able to defeat Italy as goddamn Aussa, I don't think the debuffs matter nearly as much as the game would have you believe - really, it just makes your attacks less potent, leading towards a slower capitulation of your enemies.
    Civilian and Recruit difficulties, however, are reasonable since they're designed for newer players who need cheats to survive.

  • @glauberglousger956

    The main difference is supply
    In civilian, you have all the supply, resources, equipment production you need, and can get away with wasting a lot, while having all the fuel you need while able to research anything, and the AI has debuffs
    In elite, you need to carefully choose what you produce, your fuel, resources, research, supply, are all limited and need to be carefully rationed and used, while the AI has near infinite buffs

    I like playing elite with maxing out Axis powers in customization which makes it more like historical because you have to drain Axis manpower before you have a chance to capitulate Germany. If you know what you’re doing, most other ways to play are too easy and you snowball so early you can tell you can’t lose.

    I'm not really good at the game, but I wanted to play as Ethiopia and beat Italy, even on civilian I kept losing tiles, I just couldn't win even when using cheats

    I pretty much always play on recruit becuase my brain isn't very good and losing a campaign that takes hours is annoying.

    Okay now use the buff slider in settings on all the AI except you

  • @glauberglousger956
    @glauberglousger956 Месяц назад

    Honestly, you could install any mods that give more sliders to buff countries (ANB: All Nations Boostable, Road to 56, so on) to make the game harder
    But you can always rely on AI stupidity and the ability to exploit it to win
    (Even if you don't intend to, the AI willl do something stupid)
    Sidenote, installing the above two mods and buffing a nation to the max makes them consume no fuel, supply, and have 90% attack and defense amongst every other buff imaginable
    It's not really a challenge as you pretty much need very good divisions and that's it, can't just nilly willy infantry only stuff
    (Expert AI mod does allow you to alter all the divisions the AI can produce, add the sliders and play on elite difficulty, and now there's a challenging AI
    Although it's still stupid, so...)

    If the difficulty slider just adds cheats to the computer then the Devs are failures.

    I did a game of Poland, historical tree on elite difficulty, spoilers: it was p a i n.
    Mostly due to -30% production efficiency cap I had to play veeery defensevly, fort up couple of particular provinces, (which I could barely build with heavily restricted civ industry) and SPAM Last Stand with one division in army trick NON STOP to survive. Had to restart a couple of times. All and all, it was a nice challenge for sure.
    And don't do this with democratic path, you miss out on a lot of good army buffs from sanation path (you can go democratic this way too with sanation left)

    • @rafakutnik7768
      @rafakutnik7768 Месяц назад

      Oh, and pp is also a huge issue, which makes democratic PSL path almost unplayable on this difficulty

    Imagine if difficulty sliders instead made the AI better. AI will build better divisions, upgrade and build equipment more efficiently, and go for encirclements starting on Elite for example would be honestly very cool, instead it's just the most artificial of difficulty I have ever seen. It's the equivalent of the just turning every boss in Elden Ring into Malenia.

    Anybody who wants an actual challenge should try Expert AI
    Its not an actual challenge mind you, it just means the AI builds a decent economy, decent planes and tanks, and half decent divisions (no idea why they only build 24 width tanks even when set to build 35 width). It just allows for less of a curb stomp, my usual 20/1 KD with the allies as Germany was brought down to 10/1 KD

    So, the difficulty choices either hobble or help the AI. But how does that work with your AI Allies? It’ll help the Enemy AI, but hobble your ally AI?
