Kavak posted:That would be the embargo, but if "Stalin Was Right" will be a thing, so can this. Well I think the embargo- while it will have some relationship impact obviously- is more about the whole "America has all the resources" thing, and steering global power balances through trade. Or at least that's my hope. From the looks of the tree, the US doesn't have to join- or more importantly won't look to join- another faction to meet its ideological goals. I think this is a key thing that helps make sense of the peace talk mechanics from last week- Germany can force France and England to the peace table without dealing with America, and America doesn't "lose" immediately just because France and England fell.

Kavak posted:Makes sense- The Monroe Doctrine was all about European interference, we never gave a poo poo about Latin American countries beating each other up, especially in South America once you left the Caribbean coast. US probably would react badly if another country was out-and-out annexed, though. Historically the US deployed a large chunk of it's surface fleet to Pearl as a sort of final ultimatum, presumably ingame this moves 8 BBs and a bunch of other poo poo to Pearl and causes a huge relations drop with Japan, triggering their Pearl Harbour event. E: Is war plan white alliance with Japan, or Germany, or both? I'd be interesting for there to be an option to settle peaceably with Japan and join them in grabbing as much colonial land as possible.

What the gently caress is up with this map on the dev diary? West Virginia sure as poo poo isn't part of Virginia anymore. I realize that maybe not all states don't get to be represented, but come on, they separated during the civil war. The only state ever to secede from another state! Site of the last armed insurrection in US history! My immersion! Come on guys WV never gets represented in anything, we (I) need this...

Good to see HOI4 is continuing the time-honored Hearts of Iron tradition of somehow completely loving up American borders.  LOOK AT MAINE. And that extra-flaccid uncut Floridick.

Paradox dudes, please let me beta test just this one time, been applying to every beta since Victoria 2  Also war plan black = align against fascists in support of the western allies, ie historical outcome. War plan white would be to align against communists and eventually even ally with fascists to further than cause. War plan red I assume when it mentions "the empire" it means the british empire, ally with soviets in a global "anti imperialism" crusade? War plan orange just sounds like ramping up against japan, which also historically happened. If you can only pick one though what about war plan black??

Wait are you even allowed to mod during the beta? It seems kinda against the point of finding bugs if you might end up accidentally introducing a bunch of your own when you play it. e: also keep in mind they said there's like 40 times the number of applicants than there are beta slots. even if a bunch of those are spam/ duplicates or whatever, our odds of getting in are pretty low Speaking of modding though, anyone know how to get in contact with any of Paradox's EU4 artists/ what their policy is towards handing out assets? I've got a bunch of free time again so I wanna take another shot at doing adviser portraits, but keeping them consistent with the game's style is (for me, at least) mad difficult on that small a scale so if I could get the original sizes it would be lovely. Figured I might ask at least

The idea of tearing down the British Empire is almost enough to make me want to align with the Soviets, but I think I'd rather liberate all those oppressed Soviet republics as well. In shortGSD posted:War Plan Prism: War on Everyone.

This is pretty good time to be a Paradox fan. I'm both really excited about Stellaris and the new HOI. I'm more confident about the design and quality of HOI4 but Stellaris has more "potential" (for both success and failure). What a time to be alive! So many dev diaries to look forward to. Can anyone refresh my mind on the estimate release dates for both of them though?

On the other hand, a bunch of those applications probably say something like "I'm here to make sure you don't gently caress up Bulgaria like you always do, you can tank me later  "If you managed to actually sound civil and normal in your application, I suspect you're going to make at least their first few cuts

My hope for HoI4 will be that it will be more friendly to first time hearts of iron players. Maybe I'm just bad at the game, but I've always found Paradox's WW2 games to be their most inaccessible - for whatever reason I've never really been able to get things click as well for me as they do in ck2 or eu4.

On the one hand, I usually think the HoI systems are the most accessible. Build an army, research techs, align to 1 of 3 groups a US high school history class actually managed to teach me about. Once you understand multiple-front attacks and strategic redeployment I think you get most of the unique HoI-3 battle mechanics. On the other hand, it's a game with a very weird pace. Since virtually everyone does a '36 start, it's several hours of slowly watching the clock tick by, and then suddenly you're in a world war and if you made some mistakes in your army planning (went with poor tech choices, under-built your army or navy or air-force, didn't come up with an appropriate strategic plan) the game can end for you almost immediately.

I didn't get to try the AI marine landings cause the Soviet Union got VERY ANGRY AND TOOK EVERYTHING I loved it, can't wait for HoI4. I hope the AI is more capable tho, i don't like micromanaging this much, but watching the AI capitalize on my groundwork and execute general orders is extremely my jam.

My problem may have been that I tried out HoI2, never managed to do well, and then wrote off HoI3 after its poor reviews. I plan on giving the fourth a chance, though, since I have been charmed by the dev. diaries and the thought of being good at a WW2 game has always been appealing to me!
