Diplomacy in HoI4

[Hussar]

Beginner in HoI4.... but I have over 3000 hours in EU4, and have a good handle on Diplomacy in that game.

However, for the world of me, I can’t figure out how to get places like Panama to allow US troops access. I’ve improved relations to the max and had an operative there applying diplomatic pressure, but still get denied.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

Invite them into your faction that you create.

Create my own faction? That easy? I’ll give that a shot next time through. Lol. Thanks

You cna not always reach what you want. hovering over detail of why they do not accept should give you all info needed in regard why it is denied and if it is even realistic to make it.

Just 2 points to note:
- you do not need military access for pass Panama Canal. This is in general for most sea routes unless it is controlled by enemy.

- if you create own faction it can interfere with joining other faction you may want (Allies)

Hi Medvedek,

I know about the hover.... same as in EU4. What I’m asking is how can I influence them further to give US military access. Such a small nation should eventually give in to US diplomatic pressure, especially a nation like Panama that was historically tied to the US.

Also, I’m not asking about passing through the canal. I’m asking for military access. Those are two separate things. I want troops in those jungles.

As said, in many occasions you simply can not. If your relation is on max and you have like -100 points for the action, there is nothing you can do for get it.

But in time it can change (especially if the said country is threatened, some changes in ideology occur or war started)
