I know how this works: first it's, "It's only pre-Alpha!", then it's, "We want to focus on the core systems in Beta, that can wait," then it's, "Well, we're going gold in a week, there's no time now," and then finally it's, "We never had any intention of implementing that to begin with," and no-one can feel human ever again. You boot up Visual Studio and code it in right this second, bucko.

I am a professional game critic for balkans.ru, and let me tell you that our community has zoomed in as far as possible on this screenshot and determined that you have not accurately represented province borders as they should be. Our user base is very disappointed and furthermore have lost the ability to feel human. I will have to preemptively award HOI4 a score of zero, and you will be hearing from our legal counsel about righting these historic injustices.

Alchenar posted:Resources is the last thing I want to see, because although I thought the fundamentals of the Trade system in HOI3 were actually quite good, like everything else it didn't interact with the rest of the game in terms of Player Choices very well. I'm confused. First you say you don't want to see resources and then you outline why the need for resources drive most of the gameplay in HoI. There will be some resources in the interface somewhere once the time is right

The 'Purge of the Army' decision will now just be the USSR starting out with high corruption and hitting the 'Fight Corruption' button.

There's also a multi-LP CK2 tutorial LP thread going, out of which I like Captain Andy's Ireland the best. P.S. Did anyone activate the code I posted above? It's SI, some dislike it, but I think if you give it a chance it can really steal your heart.

Is the multiplayer for that still going, it's not very good as a single player game.

I'm canceling all 6 of my pre-orders right now, and I'm telling all my friends to as well. You're losing a loyal customer over this travesty of an interface, and I will never buy a Paradox product again. I'm sure someone has already unironically posted this on Paradox Plaza

I'm more concerned with those monitor photos we saw earlier. The ones that had arrows everywhere. Yeah, it looks neat, but if I cared about the way a game looks I'd buy a console and play Bioshock or something. The point of HoI has always been realism and the fantastic amount of detail. While the idea of a "battle plan" system is pretty cool, I suspect what we've seen so far indicates that the arrows are directly correlated with what's happening and probably show actual troop movements. I find this pretty troubling. I mean, armies don't always follow plans to the letter. Eisenhower and Rommel had to keep tabs on the actual divisions. In HoI3, you could make plans as a reminder to yourself, but you had to click every army separately to see where it was actually going, which gave the experience a lot of verisimilitude. Personally I would spend a lot of time making arrows on the map, then give orders to my armies, and if the offensive collapsed I'd pause the game, redraw the lines, and give new orders - ad infinitum. That feels just like being a real general, like putting actual effort into winning the most important conflict in human history. Having battle plans integrated with gameplay, and showing arrows everywhere that actually represent something, is just spoonfeeding information to the player. There's no challenge any more.

Solution: make the text generated from a TrueType font, allowing the user to mod in custom fonts.
