Important Question: Will my obscure Balkan duchy be given the ample bonuses and unique features it deserves to accurately reflect how important they were in world history? If not no sale. :colbert:

Hearts of Iron is a game that should be substantially railroaded - it covers around 10-15 years of history so there just doesn't exists a 'grand scheme of things' for you to change.

Isn't HOI III completely broken in following anything vaguely resembling history?

I wonder what the next Paradox game will be. It's been 4 years since HoI 3, so can we expect a return to that series?

I have Darkest Hour on Steam, which only updates to 1.02 instead of the 1.03 release. Is there some way to install the 1.03 patch or is it not worth the hassle anyway?

Also, what's the difference between a Paradox Account and an account on the Paradox forums?

Well that explains a few things. Is it not worth putting money into the creating public works decisions since it gives you more Central Planning? I cannot see a single positive thing about Central Planning but its cool to put money into developing research and infrastructure.

In DH as the US is it worth spending the first few years churning out factories? I can't imagine it would be too useful to just have a bunch of units just sitting around doing nothing for 5 years.

It's a very fun game once you get over the scale of it, you just need to mentally compartmentalize it so the scale doesn't overwhelm you. WitW is going to be coming out later this year with a reworked weather/naval/air system and is looking to be incredible since the air system is one of the biggest failings of WitE.




Holy poo poo, actual screenshots from WitW. Are those newly released? Also why does the map include all of Russia west of the Urals if it's focusing on the West?

So apparently Steam finally got around to officially patching Darkest Hour to 1.3. Anyone know why it took them 9 months for something so simple?

Hmm, I manually updated it to 1.3 a while back and turned off auto updates. Now STEAM wants me to update since it doesn't recognize that I already have it. If I allow it to autoupdate will it gently caress things up or just not change anything?

Wargaming is complicated, which isn't the same as complex. Look at Grey Hunter's War in the Pacific thread for a great example. The poo poo UI, total lack of reminders, and modeling down to individual levels of ammunition or plane pilot skill made the whole thing a clusterfuck. Thousands of "lives" we're lost due to careless mistakes.
