over time me and the central powers invaded all the other contenders but ofc canada is owned by england so it's tricky

and england is allied with russia, and wars with russia suck because it's impossible to occupy them

I was never really able to get into previous games but I think that's because of Old Paradox's jankiness and obfuscation, so I'm intrigued to try out HOI4 since Paradox has gotten a lot better about that kind of thing since CK2.

I liked Darkest Hour, which I guess was like a fan mod of HOI2 that Paradox published as a standalone or something? The base game was still a little rough to get into but the Kaiserreich mod was a lot of fun and I'm not generally a mod guy.

hoi3 had some really smart ideas, it was just broken on a fundamental level. so if they just fix that poo poo then hoi4 will be good

lol again tht internal politics being broken is a bug btw

Oh no oh god it's all true!
for example, you could automate parts of your empire and thus avoid micromanaging the 1000000 infantrymen it requires to defend the western front of russia. you could set up fronts and have it mass things and put them in the right places according to your fortification. this is good idea!

but then the ai sells literally all of your oil for no reason because theres no way to tell it what you need and it can't figure that out and then your country collapses

I'm going to miss launch Stellaris because it's the only game I know of where slavery is a 0-downside mechanic and makes everyone really happy, including the slaves

there is a lot of hate for hoi2 in the games thread, mostly because half the posters are illiterate mongoloids that don't understand the concept of massing armor at the weakest point in the enemy line.

Yeah I'm most excited for HoI4 because it seems like the whole theme of the game is "let's take all the good ideas from HOI3 and put them in a good game" and that's all I need.

I started my first game last night and it seems to be less overwhelming than I thought. Obviously lots of micro management can eek out some serious advantage but I get the impression I can get by just with the high level stuff for now.
