So when they triggered the Spanish civil war, if for example the USA got split between fascists and democrats/republicans, could there be a US civil war? Or is that just a Spain only thing due to the nature of the time

It can be more than one though? The Spanish Civil War can result in a democracy OR communist if the republic wins

It would make sense if the Republican side got some kind of event that would choose one side over the other (as in every other HOI) game, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they just oversimplified it by making the Republican side automatically belong to the communist camp. A bit disappointed but not surprised. It looks like the Wiki restructuring wiped out all of the country guides too. Before almost all of them were just placeholder text with the opening paragraphs copied from the previous HOI wikis, so I'm looking forward to those getting filled once the game is released and people play around with various countries.

A bit disappointed but not surprised. There's an achievement that needs Spain to be Communist OR Democratic, so I suspect they've added an event line post-war to decide which factions of the anarchist side take primacy, but that in 'normal' civil wars you're committed to one side or the other. Can you pick your side when a civil war breaks out, as in Kaiserreich?

Are the provinces that succeed during the Spanish Civil War pre-determined, or random? Just wondering because I think that Spain would be a decent way to learn the game

To the guy who said the wiki has been updated, you weren't kidding. There's shitloads of solid mechanical detail on land, air and sea warfare up that wasn't there before. Including details like how night bombers literally cannot be intercepted without either RADAR or some air doctrines researched. Edit: Although actually reading it, it looks like some typos remain: quote:Also important to note, there is a maximum number of air wings allowed in a combat simulation: 8. With each air wing currently able to support up to 1,000 aircraft, this means there's a theoretical limit to the number of aircraft that can enter a combat simulation: 1,000. Looks like it confirms some elements I'd consider missing, like how naval bombardment cannot of itself hurt anything, it still just provides a combat modifier to land combat already going on. There was something cool about the US Navy's battlewagons rocking up on some tiny Pacific island and wrecking faces, then loving off back to Pearl.

Is it just me or is the mass assault doctrine just not as good as the others? Maybe I'm reading it wrong but I don't see why you would pick it or stay on course with it unless you are China and heading into a war almost immediately.

The Deep Battle branch looks okay, but I'm not an expert on these kinda things. I always wound up going Mobility in DH.

A lot of the "mass assault" doctrine choices give you more manpower, which is quite a long way down the list of things China and the USSR need.

But if they are % modifiers, which I assume they are, then they are also the nations which can get the most use out of those boosts. My main concern with the doctrines is that they seem to be completing the tree around 1940 which is just ridiculous. Warfare changed hugely over the next 5 years, and it makes no sense for Germany to be researching the volkskrieg or whatever in 1940 at the peak of their expansion.

Having a 25% reduction to org loss when moving and some good reductions in supply requirements allows for some late-game Soviet Steamroller operations which would otherwise bog down other doctrines. The devs have gone on the record saying that the Mass Mobilization branch is meant to be a stopgap tree to model the early Soviets/Chinese, like the Desperate Defense branch of Mobile Warfare is meant to model late-war German tactics.

There are several researches available that add resistance to such action (the UK gets a couple for example), but I'm wondering if it would even be necessary to grab those in a single player game.

Thanks for pointing it out folks, I just read that dev diary today and must have just glazed over this section https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/hearts-of-iron-iv-development-diary-54-ai.924168/quote:* Save for boosting party popularity, there is no feature in the game that the AI is completely barred from using. It being intended more as a sandbox feature for players. We have also had to limit it a lot when it comes to staging coups.  come on June 6!

I agree with this decision, boosting party popularity has always been a sandbox feature for players to craft their own a-historical alliances or to neutralize threats "peacefully". It was already pretty iffy in HoI3 to give the AI access to all the espionage options. Also anyone know if we're going to get an option to enable being able to see occupied territory, feels weird to roll into a country and not have their original borders indicated by stripes.

If I'm reading the land doctrine page right, the mobile infantry and modern blitzkrieg path gives more bonuses than the blitzkrieg and modern blitzkrieg path? Or is the +bonus to Army more powerful than I am realising? Grand battle plan also seems like a much stronger tree than it was in HoI3, though I always was partial to the portion that gave you infiltration assault bonuses.

Tank organisation seems to be very valuable as well - you seem to only get 1-3 points of that where infantry organisation tends to be 5-10.
