[@vulcanjoe8258]

I didn’t know about the shift click MIO’s. Thanks mate, I get so annoyed having to click on them by the end of the game haha

[@joskarifinaukr6503]

Just about everything has a nifty extra shift-click function. My personal favorite is shift-clicking an equipment category in the production queue to create that production line at the top of the list rather than the bottom. In construction, shift-clicking on the map queues up the maximum number of whatever building is selected, and shift-right-click takes them all away. Control-click drops the construction order at the top of the queue. And with railroads in particular, after you click the starting location of a line, holding shift while you move the cursor to the destination will find the route with the fewest required segments, though the game doesn't care about whether you wind up with wonky sharp turns on the track that way.

[@chaoticflorius]

Yeah, that stuff is so useful, but kinda hidden ^^

[@roadkill6737]

Bunch of advice. When you declare on UK, you don’t really have to paradrop. Since you have a significant navy now you can naval invade Wales from northern Spain. Just set up the invasion to fire just after you declare war. Also you can get India for free too. Have an army there and call in your collaboration government in Goa. Take some land. When the peace deal fires you can give all of India to your collaboration government for free. Game is super easy then.

[@chaoticflorius]

Thanks :)

[@sethgile7156]

Another nation idea, you can play Lithuania and get the This is Going to be Lit achievement, I already have it, and can verify it is a very fun nation to play when you know what to do. You can also try the other Baltic States, I can't verify Lativa and Estonia because I haven't fully figured them out yet.
