Where's the Money? What are Civilian Factories for? (Seems BORING - DO NOT skip,, or you WILL LOSE). This episode takes us 11th Jan - 31st Jan 1936
Hearts of Iron 4 has a very unique game mechanic when it comes to dealing with these issues, and it's so important to wrap your mind around, I dedicated an entire chapter to it.
It's not that bad though - we'll also look at Equipment vs Manpower vs Recruitment, and more.

One way to think about civilian factories is by considering that in real life money is just an abstraction of production. When you work for a company, you are helping that company produce a good or service. The money you receive accounts for your contribution, such that you can trade that money for someone else's production or the fruit of. In HOI4 we skip the added complexity of converting to and from money, and instead trade in production directly

You explained it far better than I did, and in just 30 seconds! Thank you, I might just pinch that in the next episode.

Yeah I always thought of civilian factories is it's basically all the things money does simplified into one game concept so there's no having to deal with exchange rates and stuff b/c that would really bog things down in a hurry.

It's a wargame simulating the preparation of WW2. If a government, elected or authoritarian, wanted to rearm or build a new base somewhere in preparation of another world war, it would have happened. If they lacked money to budget for it, it would be borrowed through government bonds or foreign creditors. Money was not a problem during WWII and no country went "welp, I got no money left in my Treasury and no creditors, guess I am gonna raise my hands in the air and stop fighting." They always found someone lending credit to these states even if meant repaying for decades afterwards. Even countries that were completely destroyed industrially, like Germany and Japan.

It also fits perfectly with the communist and dictatorship ideas in this game.

16:06 "it took me 2 years to wrap my head around that concept" and it took you on 6 minutes to explain it in a way that me and many others understand it. Great job, enjoying your tutorial series so far. I wanted to learn this game and see if it was worth buying during the free weekend but could not figure anything out even after watching those 30 min tutorials. I ponied up the $10 after finding your tutorials.

BTW folks, if you get a game crash error while watching the tutorial, its probably overloaded the video card. It just did that to me when I went to 1080 for more clarity on reading the screen's info so SAVE OFTEN while going through just in case.

Thank you so much for you generous tip! Regarding your comment from yesterday about the timing of the Spanish civil war - it will always vary some... What got need to be able to do is send over the panzer divisions. If it happens again, I suggest you continue the tutorial as closely as possible, and either: 1) continue the tutorial, and send the Spanish volunteers at the same time I do - in other words, miss a few weeks fighting. The war latest 36-39 in real life, so there should be time. Once you've done it a time or two, you'll get the hang of it. 2) I'm going to do a separate video, just for the Spanish civil war, as many people are experiencing it at different times. I'll try insert it, outside the tutorial series, as a "if Spanish war starts early, watch this specific video." Thanks again for your generosity, and giving me the prompt to address the Spanish civil war properly - together with the other comments regarding the similar issue, it's finally twisted my arm into addressing it properly!

Thanks - learned a few details that'll help here. I'm just wondering if building 4 carriers at once is a bit much even for the USA but I wanted to be able to churn out all those type of capital ships at once...it's fine if I hold one back by '44 getting trained/updated while trying to keep up/make up time w/Heavy Cruisers, Light ones, and destoryers. It's a job! Can't wait til I get to the Naval part....

The more is see about HoI i wish there would be a game that combine Hoi with games like Steel Division 2 or Ruse.

I do have a question, actually...when you clicked on area defense (around 35:25-fwd) why did it give the 'area defense' generals a limit of 72 divisions up from 24? I mean, it's obvious (if looking for it at least) that giving a general the Area Defense order is what does it, I'm just wondering if there's some other reason for it that may not be evident? Perhaps the idea that troops w/orders to defend are easier to handle through the command structure than if on offense? Defense can be as chaotic once they're attacked....Fog of War and all....anyone know?

Last thing for this episode...once the aircraft are in Berlin, select 'em all and start training 'em. I did it and they all hit lvl 2 on the 30th, except for the transport plane that can't apparently take training as an option....a tad odd but it's a non-combat plane and I doubt Chuck Yeager could fly his way outta schwarms of fighters while flying a DC-3 or something but it's hardly a thing in this game. Unless GwB here knows of a reason not to train them while we waited for end of month, the only thing I can see is fuel at the top is now 1.6y but he said we're gonna train them anyway. Any reason NOT to have trained 'em while I waited? Was just kinda odd to overlook it since it was that last topic....thanks for another great video, too! I'm learning some things I need to learn already.

At 41:35 giving general Friedrich Paulus the command over the 6th Army is remarkable, did you do this by coincidence? In real history Paulus is known as the commander of the German 6th Army during the Battle of Stalingrad were early 1943 his army was destroyed by the Russians, being the turning tide of World War II in Europe.

@bodigames Ай бұрын

The tide was turned when Mr A.H Mustache man declared war on the US and Soviet Union at the same time. Had Mr mustache taken his time he could’ve won everything….. pretty scary to think about

It's Heer with double e so its spoken a bit longer than with one e (her don't exist in the german language I think). But Heer is some kind of an old word for army, normally we use Armee today, not Heer.

I don't think they work for free. You pay them with civilian factories. There are ways that get them payed less therefore you get more civilian factories.
