For those who played in eu4 multiplayer today, please google eu4 guides and tutorials. I can't answer all of your questions and focus on my nation at the same time. Begins to cry ;( |

I hate this game, I just hate it. I loose battles even though I have 11 times more soldiers and no lack of supplies + it's 1936 so the enemy can't have OP tech

Beginners should probably choose a country like USA or Italy or even Japan. Im guessing you opened up as Switzerland or Turkey? |

The thing is, there is a limit on how many troops can battle at a time, so your extra 10 guys might not make a difference if only 1 can fight. And german soldiers have a lot of experience, they will probably beat your guys 1v1 if you are on the offensive. Best thing as switzerland is just to sit still. But tbh, you can't win as swiss unless you have a lot of experience. |

Yeah, Jean Lannes, id be a balkan nation or the US because the USA is OP and a balkan nation like romania can just steamroll through bulgaria and greece by mid 1937 if you play your cards right (And use `noneutrality) No neutrality is a console command that people don't really care if you use it or not, it just makes it so that you can conquer faster. Turkey, Italy, Yugoslavia, or Romania are probably your best bet. |

I was, I tried 3 times to take Bulgaria, everytime I got beat back to the border and lost shortly afterwards I kinda suck at HOI 3, but you get a penalty if you just put a bunch of units in one province, so that's probably the reason your 11 units lost against 1, also, make sure your army has a command structure, and also, unless you completely overpower the enemy, choose your battles wisely, dont just send a bunch of units in blitz style. |

Turkey, Italy, Yugoslavia, or Romania are probably your best bet. I was, I tried 3 times to take Bulgaria, everytime I got beat back to the border and lost shortly afterwards okay then, ill give a couple more tips: A.Im guessing you launched a full frontal assault across the whole border. While you could do that, it might be a better idea to focus on the Drobuja area because that area doesn't have a river crossing. When you attack across a river, the defender get a big defense bonus. So id attack from the area without a river crossing and then move in after some of their units leave provinces. B.Are you aiming for VP's or just land? Kind of dumb to ask, but you never know. C.Is your whole front with bulgaria covered and did you move all your units to the Bulgarian border first? These things are extra important. In 1936, don't worry about nations attacking you, just worry about attacking them. D.VERY IMPORTANT. Be on Speed 2 or three and pause frequently. E.This kind of contradicts Rule B but you often want to focus on lesser objectives to then move onto bigger objectives. So your lesser objective would be to take all the land bordering the Danube river and then maybe split your army into two, one army to aim for Sofya, another to take Burgas, and then they could meet at Plovdiv. |

I had about 2/3 of their land and all the VP besides of the most southern. I tried attacking it but I failed every single time. So I tried encircling them with better units and more than they. Still failed. After a week 150k somehow changed to 30k and they reruited 50k in a week. And I couldn't recruit a single unit for 2.5 months |

Then send some troops to Plovdiv (Southern one) while attacking Sofya and Burgas. Hopefully that works. Also, stupid question, did you enact better laws and research tech that isn't too ahead in advance? I had about 2/3 of their land and all the VP besides of the most southern.

I tried attackig about 5 times and all didn't go above 3. I had the other VP already. The Bulgarians reconquered Sofia so I sent troops there and shortly afterwards was able to conquer the most southern VP. Now I concentrated all my troops on Sofia (200k men) and all of them failed against 20k. And somehow they recruited 50k men after like 2 days while I couldn't recruit for months |
