The national focus system looks like a lot of fun.

I'm gonna have a ton of fun trying out different scenarios, most will involve USA.

I wonder if minor powers like Ireland will have national focuses? If only because they're so close to Great Britain.

The only upside to this whole retarded shitstorm is watching the When the World Stopped Making Sense team panic over the fact that people talk about their mod outside of the forum and keep thinking they'll get in trouble.

Don't expect too much to get done in Sweden (besides shopping and drunken debauchery) between the 18th december and the 11th of january.

I can't really help you specifically with Hoi3, but if you feel like an HoI SSLP I would check out Chief Savage Man's Kaiserreich playthrough on these forums.

That's the farthest you can get from HoI 3 considering it's neither Hearts of Iron nor vanilla Darkest Hour.

This is the only HoI 3 lp worth watching.

Yeah, with that picture on my phone (which is a moot point, considering I won't be playing HoI IV on it), it's hard to make out the top image over the bottom, just because I have to zoom the picture in more to see the horse symbol clearer.

Of course I can't read NATO-counters so the bottom is as illegible as the top. :v:

I liked the inverted mock-up someone posted. I think the white on brown is harder to "read" than the black on white. :shrug:

e: thanks Paradox devs by the way for making it super easy to tie these to the Asian graphics. I thought I'd have to have them overwrite the Euro portraits and toggle it on/off whenever I played an Asian team but it was pretty effortless to get it to work great :)

Most of the streams have had historical focuses on, so it'd be cool to see a dev diary about weird ahistorical things that could happen or alternate paths nations could take.

They did show us Norway becoming a Socialist republic in one diary, and we saw the dumb Fascist USA flag in another, but yeah, an entire dev diary about how hosed up things can get would be cool.

Also, are the fascist flags made stupid by default so there's no incentive to actually become fascist ingame? Because holy hell a bundle of stick looks stupid.

... You could not be more wrong.

Well, compared to the Communist/Socialist emblem, it's a lot harder to convey in a small image, ie, why the symbol takes up half the flag. Hell, Italy didn't even use it. It almost seems like each Fascist country used their own national symbol.


Easy on the name calling, Jesus Christ.

EDIT: Are there any examples of the symbol being used today?
