Just a note. If you increase the level of your ports to say 10, any ship that is stationed there will have their ranged increased. Not talking about docks, Ports.

[@hammotimee]

That's something I did not know, thank you!

[@danielverman]

How can anyone dislike your videos? They are so helpful and well planned! I can only wish for more “MEEEEERICA …. ” clips, for more humor and fun, but even without them, you are doing a great job!

[@hammotimee]

Thanks so much! I appreciate it! I try to find a balance between sneaking jokes in and being educational

[@widepootis]

Haven't watched all your Beginner's guides videos yet, but you should definitely have way more views for taking the time to make a comprehensible and extensive (for beginners) serie of tutorials. Thanks a lot mate!

[@hammotimee]

Hey thanks so much! It'll come over time, I'm just glad to be helping people 😁

[@Ignats75]

Informative AND entertaining. I LOLd t the quick Palpatine insert. "DO IT!" Well done Hammy.

[@hammotimee]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it haha

[@hosestacy380]

Good man.

[@hammotimee]

Thank you? 😂

[@cp627]

Love the content, material and overall presentation of your videos. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.

[@hammotimee]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it 😊

Thank you ! with this video, i have know all thing about industrilisation in hoi4 !

You're welcome! I'm glad to help 😁

[@guitarsnstrings4things677]

I do like this video! So now I must share it with you!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!

[@hammotimee]

You're welcome! 😁

[@lhorbrum1818]

Watched all your tutorials, so thanks for that :) My problem is, i'm trying to force myself to love the game, as i loved CK2 so much, and missed out on the Hearts of Iron series, but this game bores me silly! I've tried and tried to love it, but within 15 minutes i'm bored out of my mind. Is there any hope for me? Same goes for Stallaris. Love Civ4/5/6; CK2, but those two, can't seem to get into.

[@hammotimee]

Thanks for watching! That sucks to hear, my advice would be to just play the game how you want to, try not to get caught up in a lot of the noise in the hoi4 community of playing the most "meta" way. If you find you're bored by the pre-war stuff, you could also try the 1939 start!

[@ledrake8590]

Have you made videos that go more in depth, like i know the beginner stuff now i want to get to know the more advanced. Also do you explain the dlc mecanincs??

[@hammotimee]

I sure do! I've got a bunch of videos on different concepts across the board which feature DLCs, check out the Hearts of Iron playlist on my channel 😁

[@grandadmiralthrawn2534]

Hey, I appreciate all the help you’ve given us beginners, but I had a question. I noticed you skipped over the "Total Mobilization" option in the economy law, and when I had a look, I noticed a heavy Recruitable population penalty. However, in decisions, there is an option for "Women in the workforce" which undoes that problem. So if if I just do that, why not go total Mobilization?

[@hammotimee]

Thank you! More than happy to help! And yes, total mob is a great option, but make sure you've got 250pp before you go to that to offset the manpower lost with women in the workforce! Dunno why I forgot that, great catch!

[@grandadmiralthrawn2534]

@@hammotimee Thanks again, appreciate the help!

[@theamerican3785]

Genuine question 3:48: why would I change my trade law if I am losing civs if I could just reduce the number of civs I am trading for a resource? What is the difference between these two action?

[@hammotimee]

Different trade laws affect your construction speed, free trade has the best bonus for it, plus with more resources to the market you get more civs from other countries trading with you!

[@InZomnia365]

I have 600 hours in this game. I had no clue that infrastructure level impacts construction speed!

[@hammotimee]

It's not always helpful, but it's good to know to build in high infra states first!

[@dispatcher2243]

Is there any reason to not Que a ton of one type of factory at a time? I isually just shift click to build the maximum ammount of factories in a territory.

[@hammotimee]

Nah not really, unless you want to build a certain amount of one type and the rest of another! For example, as Germany or Italy I'll build the max amount of 3 refineries per state, so I want to leave enough room for that, so I don't max out the civ/mils in states until I've done that

[@dispatcher2243]

@@hammotimee I figured out that it is maybe a bit better to just make what I need as I go. Trading for steel? Build steel mills. I tried to play as communist Japan and I wanted to take Taiwan (the republic of china) back from the manqin empire. But even though I was selecting the naval port on the southern part of mainland Japan, it would not let select the area in manqin Taiwan even though I was at war woth them amd had 100% naval superiority.

[@chumbaba2850]

You say civs will repair mils. So do they need to be in the same province?

[@hammotimee]

Nope! Your civs will work on anything in your construction queue from top to bottom, however there's also a passive repair effect on your damaged buildings. You can move them to the top of your construction queue to have them be repaired faster though!

[@EasyBit_Ez]

thanks for the video *coughs softly*

Bless you, and you're welcome!

[@a7sed805]

how you can increase your civilian factories number with nations with a few civilian factories i need it especialy in millennium dawn mod

[@hammotimee]

I haven't played millenium dawn, build civs early, and look for focuses in your tree which give you bonus factories

Thank you so much! Next video coming out Monday 😄

Hey bro what about smaller nation guides in hoi4 like pakistan afghanistan albania bosnia make a must video on these

[@hammotimee]

I do have a plan to do a guide for smaller nations!

[@danielverman]

Why do you say that missiles are 💩? 😅

[@hammotimee]

Great question! They're a late game tech, they have smaller range than planes do, they're super expensive and single use. Basically strat bombers are much more effective and cost effective! And for new players especially, they're not really worth worrying about when learning the game

[@danielverman]
