Drone posted:Watching the Angry Joe HOI4 preview right now. I'm noticing again something that I've seen several times before: why does the game refer to WW2 as the "German-Polish War"? Does that eventually change to just "World War 2" or something like that after it becomes clear that this isn't just a normal regional war or conflicts that aren't related to the world war? I'd imagine you could make them smaller with a mod, and the German-Polish War is just automatically generated I believe, they have 2 months before release to change it.

sparatuvs posted:It seems like every major has a potential Spanish civil war like event chain. I'm very excited about that, you can finally do a communist Germany game outside of that DH scenario that was kinda broken. Theres a great DH mod that improves Communist Germany playthroughs. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/communist-germany-mod.613550/ Adds a bunch of event chains and stuff.

Tuskin38 posted:Speaking of Hearts of Iron and War Crimes Really loved the sample song, if the rest of the soundtrack is of a similar quality then we're in for a treat. So far I'm really loving the changes to HoI4, coming from ~200 hours in DH and HoI3 I love seeing some of the pointless details removed. Like, do I really care about the 2-3 fascist parties/factions inside of the German Reich, the only thing that really affects gameplay is whether I'm Fascist, Communist, or Democratic anyway, not the specific flavour of each. In HoI4 it seems, instead of managing 2-4 different parties for each ideology, there is just a single party for any of the 4 ideologies, an abstraction of the real-world that I will happily accept because the party system provided no value to the game and served only to overcomplicate what should be a simple system.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Mussolini have a interest in the independence of Austria during this time period? It is only after a visit to Germany in late 1937 that Italy basically signals to Hitler that they don't mind an anschluss. So with this in mind I'm pretty surprised that they're able to declare war on Austria with no repercussions from Italy in the livestream, especially with "Historical Focus" turned on.

Hopefully there's 2 paths in the national focus tree to remove the "Home of the Free" national spirit and move towards either communist or fascist, maybe enter the war earlier after firmly setting yourself in one of those factions. This is the kind of thing that adds alot of replayability to the game.

ArchangeI posted:In unrelated news, i have installed the BlackICE mod to see what all the fuss was about (since it was apparently the mod to use as a representation for the modding DD). It's..a thing. It is most certainly a thing. I've been a bit of a fan of the BlackICE mod over the years and it seems they just keep adding more fuss and annoying micromanagement into the game. Like, I want to manage the composition of my divisions but do I really want to go through assigning transport divisions, etc. Next version I bet they'll add something stupid like assigning cook-attachments and poo poo or else your divisions dont get supplies and die of starvation. All this talk about blackice is making me really grateful for the division template manager in HoI4, in HoI3 just fixing the initial placement, composition and organization of any of the starting powers will take you half an hour to an hour. The most annoying part was probably refitting the composition because it involved hundreds of clicks just to ensure all your divisions had proper optimal compositions with a good balance. If you wanted to refit your infantry divisions to have a bit more support and less infantryman, or you unlocked your 5th brigade slot and want to slap on anti-tank to all your infantry, you're going to be clicking 4-5 times per division which ends up being hundreds if you're 1942 Germany pushing into Moscow. In HoI4 I just click 3-4 times, spend a bit of army xp and the game will automatically start shifting equipment to the divisions, literally how it should be, I'm a dictator, not a supply officer.

I think with most victory points being major Cities, the City terrain should have modifiers that support defense, especially in terms of delaying the speed of combat. On the whole, we're still seeing bugfixing, balancing and tweaks so many things could still change. We were complaining about guarantees last week and they've fixed that in just a week.

France leaving gaps in the Maginot Line does seem pretty wonky though, I hope these kinds of glaring deficiencies are the result of switching builds between sessions and not some kind of underlying problem with the game.

They really gotta tone down on the whole naval invasion thing, in the latest WWW the AI was attempting a naval invasion every other week or something, most of the time with colonials or regular infantry.

I hope HoI4 can start to get more coverage once Stellaris is released, maybe we'll get 2 hour https://www. Wonder what country will be played next on Wednesday.

The air and naval reorganization windows could be improved with some stats in the UI. Its much easier to organize air wings when you know the relative strength of the different planes you're moving around, would be more intuitive than "Interwar Bomber" and "Tactical Bomber I"

Does anyone even know who the target audience of the "literature" released alongside paradox games is for.

https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/hearts-of-iron-iv-development-diary-57-poland-united-and-ready.935191/ I like the idea of all the neutral countries eventually getting their own focus trees, sort of like how most countries in EU4 have their own ideas after quite a few patches. I definitely like the new political power systems, like focus trees, makes the build-up to the war more interesting and I'm getting a massive Kaisserreich vibe from the different political paths a country can take. Just pre-ordered my cadet edition and I can't wait

Yeah honestly EU4 and CK2 were at their height of playability last year, before they got bloated to poo poo. I played a round of EU4 recently and theres so much garbage like estates, sailor-manpower, etc that just add fluff to the game without any real value.

Athaboros posted:I see this sentiment in lots of places these days -- what do people consider to be the 'best' version of EU4, then? Since you can roll back to previous patches in Steam, I'd like to compare how it's changed over the past year or two. Heres the thing though, they've bundled alot of genuinely good mechanics with the terrible ones, I'd say anytime before Forts was pretty swell.
