And no, just because I don't know some of the details, doesn't mean I'm a bad player. I was just playing as Czechoslovakia, and I had the second largest army score on the planet. No cheats, and it was in 1937.
I just get things done simply. No reason to work on army structure or anything when you can just build an army.

I just got the game and it seems I can just alright run the game if I turn the settings down and some options off. Did the tutorial and will now go to the wiki to look at beginner guide.

It can be confusing... I recommend using the Road to 56 mod for some cool focus trees. Let us know if you have any trouble, and I'm sure Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb or I will try to help to the best of our ability! |

After that, start by playing with countries like Soviet Union and USA, so that you can become familiar with the game mechanics without being the center of a War. Download Road to 56 mod. You should be good after that! Don't ever play 1939! It's not as much fun! |

Oh yes I got civ5 with all the dlc also and that looks quite enjoyable for multiplaying. But for hoi4 seems like a singleplayer-friendly game. But if I change my attitude I will pm you. |

Play the tutorial! After that, start by playing with countries like Soviet Union and USA, so that you can become familiar with the game mechanics without being the center of a War. Download Road to 56 mod. You should be good after that! Don't ever play 1939! It's not as much fun! For a first country it sounds pretty daunting to be playing one of the major nations. You need to get used to focus trees, researching, troop movement, wars that you won't instantly lose, correct economic standpoints, and much more before you don't play a major nation. Most nations that aren't major either have a boring focus tree, get invaded immediately, or just research or produce weapons slowly. This is why you should play either USA or USSR. Both of them will have a chance to build up industry and troops, and you will have unique focus trees to experiment with. Even when countries do try to invade you, you will be able to fight them off easily as them. Some other nations and why you shouldn't start by being them: UK - Almost guaranteed to fight Germany - Center of it all France - Hard to manage if you aren't experienced Japan - I recommend you do play as them, but starting as them might be too much. (Japan helps further advance your knowledge of navy) Italy - Just lousy China - Immediately invaded Poland - Same as France British Puppets - If you get Together for Victory, you should play as one of them. (Otherwise, they are boring). Rest - Hard to advance |

Gaius Julius Caesar, I have explored around the game and it seems like there is the "host" button. Is that how you host?

Click multiplayer. Click host. Make a name for your game, and then make your password to access and steam message that to the people you want to play. |
