  • Dam it stupid iPod!!!! Who is interested in playing online with me? I cant seem to get the automatch thing to work and none of my friends like this type of game so just pm me if you want to play FTM with me.

  • Who is

  • Once in HoI 2 i played as Siberia,I wonder if it is possible in HoI 3...

  • The US will fall to Honduran rule, unless they have tanks. Lots and lots of tanks.....

  • What would a COH guy think of this gameplay? Does it have more detailed building...can you customize single player? Is Multi fully supported?

    I miss playing against and as the Japs.

  • @cchanderson Its is nothing like COH. This is played on a strategic map with units simply used as markers to represent divisions.

  • i'm curious

    Is the game's ending/domination rewarding? I can get past my fear of no command battles if the battles are satisfying...

  • I wanna be the Falkland Islands....

  • @shawndw1000 Why, there small islands controled by England near the coast of South America -.-

  • @TacoMan717 the falklands are and will be BRITTISH!

  • @Hundigt I want to play as an Ocean.

  • one of the best games ever made

  • Historically accurate ! WOW!

    I guess that means the inclusion of the two biggest financial backers (Js) of the Nazi party and the crowd that orchestrated the murder of 72 million gen tiles within the Soviet . Also Js. Wow a world first !

  • wait ... so i can play with .. lets see ... so i can use other countries ? ... like ... idk Argentina ??

  • @NitooJackerarg Yes, it says you can play any nation from 1935-1947.

  • Victoria 2 in my opinion is best.

  • Seems a lot like a total war game

  • @Thatshaneboy BUT BETTER

  • What do u think this RTS game :  " sword of justice RTS "

  • 0:28 ive seen that photo before

  • Guys I just made a video on how to get this game free and fast. First come first serve 740 copies left and running out fast! :) US/UK users have an edge! And this game is well worth a few minutes of anyone's time :D

  • @ursapedophilus what is the videos name>

  • @MultiBulgarin its on my channel but you better do it asap. Im just going to warn you it will take a bit of time. But yeah very good game and very worth it :D

  • Arsenal of democracy for the win

  • Just got this game and its rlly good and in depth my only problem with it is that the czecks actually fight u as germany wen rlly nazi troops just sorta walked in

  • @everybodychillout

    Czechs don't fight you, there is an event when you annex Czecks. Maybe you didn see it

  • Best game ever!

  • Is For the Motherland necessary to enjoy it?

    I only got Semper Fi.

  • wtf is this crap?

  • I loved HoI and HoI 2 but I hated this one, simply because there were no those soldier avatars on map, instead there were those silly cubes representing army.

  • @03nj you can switch it, if you're going into the game-cofiguration. i dont know the other versions, but it has to been known as "NATO-Symbols" or something like this.

  • Amazing game

  • @WeeSexyTC true :p

  • @WeeSexyTC LOLOOLLOL yea!! xD

  • Crush the Beast!

  • If you like hearts of iron,go to my page and click the link so you could try out best browser strategy game!!!

  • fuck they gotta make a modern version of this game

  • I played this game and got hooked in one hour.

  • can someone help me with diplomacy in this everyone hated me when i started as holland so i then decided to be new zealand because i thaught britian and the commonwealth would like me but they don't either :0

  • That font is used in Company of Heroes :D

  • it would be awesome if paradox and CA teamed up to make the ultimate game paradox AI + maps and CA's battles and graphics

  • if you rush you can get both games on steam for under 10 £ :D Go!

  • I'm annoyed i was gona buy hoi 2 complete because it is on sale on steam, but i bought the 3rd game beacuse they are almost the same price :(

  • My game keeps crashing whenever Germany captures Norway , any fixes for that

  • FOR THE FATHERLAND!!!!!!!!!

  • this looks like a crud game

  • @ElCynical it's a paradox game so graphics and animation are crap, but strategy and depth are the best we will see in a long time, see the reviews. this is like a total war game without battles, but with a 10X better campaign

  • What the combination between keys which are opening the HQ?

    Help me plzz with this.

  • I love the fact that I can kill Nazi's with Denmark, which was one of the first countries to be invaded. Great game all!

  • Damn, I have no clue what to buy! Victoria, Hearts of iron, or europa universalis! Halp!

  • @Crabbensmasher SAME HERE!!!!! for me victoria looks like it has the best gameplay, but the EU3 is set in my favourite time period!!! Does anyone know what has better AI, cuz thats my main concern!

  • @Foneio, I got Victoria II and haven't really enjoyed it much. It seems like the only things really in-depth are the military conquests. Enemy AI is excellent from what I've seen, but it seems pretty much identical to risk.

    I've only played it a few hours, but at the moment I do regret it somewhat.

  • @Foneio and @Crabbensmasher I think Hearts of Iron 3 is the best

  • @Crabbensmasher All 3. EU might be the simplest, but thats because it focuses on a LONG time period. Vicky 2 has the most indepth politics, diplomacy and economy (some retards say too indepth), while the HoI series focuses on warfare the most. HoI 3 has far more micro-management than 2, though. Personally, I much prefer the depth of 3, but 2 is still an excellent game. Hope this helps a little.

  • I can't wait for For The Motherland :)

  • This has to be one of my all time favorite games. The amount of information contained on that one disc is extraordinary. No other game I've played goes that far in-depth into a strategy game

  • Comment removed

  • I've so far only played hearts of iron 2 (and loved it), so can anyone tell me the main differences between HOI 2 & 3?

  • Victoria II is the game

  • @rulebritannia9 no thats another game

  • A few questions about the game. Is it possible to use a fleet to bombard a coastal region? And how do you release a puppet nation, or free yourself if you are a puppet? Because I'm the SU and I don't want Mongolia any more. I want to annex it directly. And lastly, in the production menu, when I build a plane, is it like one single airplane or an entire squadron? Because in WW2 each side had like 1000 planes while I have no more that ten.

  • @uja11 This is a late answer but i'll try to answer those. you bombard coasts just by putting ships next to the province (aids you in a battle), you cannot annex a puppet (from what i've heard), and each plane you build represents a sqadron.

  • One of the hardest strategic game ever very good

  • i dont know i never could really get into HoI3. i still love HoI2 and play it a lot

  • @Jerry033 yea, HOI2=A stroke of genius. Im gonna wait for Darkest Hour though cuz im really interested in WW1, i dunno wat do you think.

  • Ive ordered it online and been checking my mail box every 20 minutes but it hasnt come yet, but does anyone know if it will run on XP? man i hope it does.

  • Evropa Universalis + Victoria + Hearts of Iron == History in your hands ^.^

  • @zeravija you forget EU:Rome and Crusader Kings

  • @lima785 thanks I forgot it ^.^

  • @zeravija

    u forgot Crusader Kings :)

  • @zeravija Europa nije Evropa nepismeni moj susjedu

  • @WeeSexyTC yeah. anything is possible

  • best game ever IMO. with the latest patches it is amazing

  • mal ne frage ich hab mich im forum angemeldet und will jetzt im metaserver spielen aber da geht es nicht sich anzumelden

  • The pics in the trailer are REAL pics from that time. They just colerd' them. Yet they still look awesome!

  • I hate the fact that it is real time

  • @IRELANDSELITE, just go to good images and search "german soldier" it should be the first pic in the second row.

  • is this round basic?

  • @killerpups17

    yes and... no

    No for the fact that it ues 'ticks' - a tick is an hour in the game.

    means a day has 24 ticks, a month has 30/31 days, and a year 365 days.

    you can accelerate up to making a day go past in about 2 seconds - that's good when you don't have too much going on. But not that good when too much happens ;)

  • My favorite game:) gg all

  • @WeeSexyTC Edit your IC input towards Diplomacy in the technology screen

  • One thing people need to know is that you need to buy the expansion to make the game work. Paradox made the fixes that the game needed but it didnt publish it as a patch, instead they sold it as an expansion called Semper Fi.

  • Great game ! I got addicted to Hearts of Iron ! Love it!

    Hope, in future, for more complexity.

  • this game requires a ton of patience but it just makes the game all the more sweeter

  • I WOULD DIE FOR A MANPOWER CHEAT/HACK!!!! PLEASE!!!!

  • @uja11 haha me too im Hungary and me and Romania are at a stale mate and they and I can't do anything unless we get more man power

  • @363Simba And I found a way how to HAVE MOER MANPOWAH!!!!

    First, open up the game but only the main menu, then simply open up you HoI 3 file in windows explorer and look for saved games (make shure you saved your game). Once you found it open up your Hungary file with notepad and then type in search ''human=yes''. Scroll a bit down from that and you will find your manpower. Mine was 30.000 and I changed it to 9999.000. Ima gonna have an latvian empire.

    Hope it helped.

  • @uja11 it does help I will look at it when I get a chance and anyways Romania took me over but was nice enough to make me a puppet so now im a democracy :)

  • @363Simba They made you an puppet? What happens after that? Do you get to do what you want, or do they dictate you? Is it possible to rebbel?

  • @uja11 once im a puppet the economy is terrible but recovers slowly over time. I can't declare war with anyone and join the fraction i want. I think the only way to get out of being a puppet is to wait for a country to take over you and liberate you unless Romania decides to liberate me but I really don't know how to do that

  • @363Simba But can you recruit an army? Or send your spies to destroy their government (through lowering national unity or somethin')?

  • @uja11 I can still make an army and spies can still do all the things to the country before the war

  • @363Simba But what's the use of that army?

  • @uja11 the use of my army is for my host if he declares war i declare war

  • @363Simba Does he control your army or you do? And what if you don't declare war but join your host's enemy? Of is that even possible, to not join your host? And can you have more troops than your host?

  • @uja11 I control my army and Im forced to be on my host's side and yes I can have a bigger army than my host.

  • @363Simba Can you rebbel? And can you declare war to an country which is neutral towards your host?

    

  • @uja11 no and no only he can declare war

  • @363Simba Then it's impossible to brake free of their grasp, even with an larger army? That suck's, doesn't it?

  • @uja11 how many questions have you asked! I cannot give u a guarantee correct answer, but I think Im stuck with him until someone invades me and liberate me unless Romania decides to let me go

  • @363Simba ok, then it was nice chatting with you. Personnaly I can't remember the last time some normal youtuber said something to me that wasnt troll'y. You agree? :)

  • @uja11 yes you are lucky to ask me i can answer a couple rounds of questions without being idiotic on people :)

  • @363Simba lol XD

  • I'm already bored of Starcraft II...this game will always be my No. 1.

  • this game would have been the best game of HOI ever made but i guess the guys who made it did not spend enough time fixing the fuking bugs. this game is awesome but so f slow. just wasted 40 dollars in a game that will make you wait rather than play. In my computer the new 1.4 patch is better but the damn slownes sucks .

  • @EinsatzgruppenSpeed yup, i dont understand why so many 'veterans' in many diffetent forums write about cheats..I use Cheats to make the enemy nations stronger. In 1936, 1938 and 40 All Nations have shitty industry. The game is way too easy when you start as Germany. The AI is still much inferior then human tactics. Cheats take aout the fun.Most people just want to beat a game....

  • You have GOT to love HoI theme music.

  • I got "Government nationalize private sector" event while playing with soviets FFS, I wasn't sure if paradox knew anything about communism but now I certain that they don't know shit about it.

  • that was more like a slide show rather then a trailer, I dont even know what hearts of iron is

  • This game is full of bugs and fucking slow. HOI2 beats it anytime...

  • wtf, All you do is play around with the MAP? or do you get to go into battlefields and fight like the Total war games?

  • @46Ussr Yes. All you do is to play around with the MAP. And trust me, it's a lot more challenging and nail-biting than anything "Total War" ever threw at me.

  • 0:49 Pic is from researching the Kampfgruppe Doctrine in HOI 2!!

  • @WeeSexyTC yes even luxenberg any one

  • @WeeSexyTC

    Yes.

  • lol

  • IS THIS REAL???? youtube.com/watch?v=npkCXsjQv_­o

  • i heard the game is laggy as hell ill stick with hearts of iron 2 thank u

  • прикольная игра)))

  • hearts of iron 2 is the better than hearts of iron 3

  • Witch one should I buy HOI 2 or 3?

  • @D3adtrap i played HOI 1 and 2 downloading 3 but try 2 if you want 3 i can give you download link

  • @GunJack4444

    Ok

  • @D3adtrap just finished downloading HOI 3 and playing it it sucks

  • This is a good game but in my opinion it can never beat its predisesor

    HOI2 Is and Amense game

    HOI3 is Allright no more no less

  • The New Expansion Semper Fi trailer is epic

  • @bebo679 wow, this is like super awesome ^^!

  • Is this game worth to buy?

  • why can't this work for mac : (

  • I love this game! I play as Sweden in my current game :) germany started WWII and attacked France,Poland and Greece, but no1 is helping GB XD

    and im sitting there very nervous that i may be attacked although i can reach Berlin im not joining the allies unless D-day or soviets join the war :/

  • WTF JAPAN LIBERATES FRANCE IN MY GAME!!!!!!!

    HISTORICAL MY ASS!

    lol its true but great game anyway

  • @spudnick3490 Japan kinda far from France what was Britain doing? XD

  • @363Simba

    I was britain and in my game Japan was making a full offensive in India after destroying nationalist china....They didnt have ANY troops in France until after they liberated Paris.....WTF?! :D

  • @spudnick3490 but i don't get it if they attack u why they be nice to France? o by the way in my game Japan lost badly to Asia XD but germany is being really nice to Europe like Southeast Europe is not bothered even though they declared war on me and Norway X( Norway is just watching me do all the work =D

  • @363Simba

    I know...I always have to send troops to the denmark and Norway (couldnt care less about sweden) as Britain to hold naval supremacy...I have never won in Denmark though :P....Because they completely forget about their french borders and blitzkrieg me in Denmark XD

  • @spudnick3490 the game gives you the power to play history or make history,i took over all euorpe and russia with germany

  • @australianforlife

    It gives YOU the power....not the AI...the AI ruins everything :(

  • @spudnick3490

    Yeah, if you leave the AI alone and just chill with your nation, for some random reason say, China actually invades Japan, or the Czechs take over the Baltic Nations and gives Germany a hell of a fight. HOI2 is a bit more structured with the AI, which in my opinion makes it a better game, but that's my opinion, I love historically accurate WW2 games.

  • @Atheistcat2004 have you played as canada if so what flag is that never seen that canadian flag

  • @sinbadmaso

    Canada flew the red ensign during this time period. if you google Red Ensign 1921–1957 under images, you'll see what it looks like. :/

  • This game is great, too bad they won't patch it anymore....

    We have to wait until expansion pack if we want things fixed...

  • does any1 have the original to this pic @0:49

  • ok i have this game and the game is awesome, if u are a fan of WW2 ur gona came with this game and is epic to use hitler!! 1- i want to know how can u see the soldiers and 2- can u change the course of history? like germany controlling the world? that would be awesome! and if is possible to invade UK cause i try with more than 500k + soldiers and it was freaking impossible!

  • it's not...

    try to take out UKs Fleet with some strong CV (usually have 6 in 1939 and 4 BB). Use some heavy Bomber too (Ok CAS and tac bombers do fine, i have 2 squads of strat bombers too)

    Then get about 20 to 30 transport ships and go in Scotland or somwhere far north of london.

    That way UK defeating is possible and not too hard ;)

  • And of course, try to sink the enemies fleet before you do any attempt to invade UK.

    means 1 or 2 months of just cruising in front of london and southcoast of GB.

    i sunk 2 BB in the east sea, while i was invading poland that time (funny to say UK and the allys declared war on my germany ^^)

    and when you thinned out the UKs fleet enough, go to north england/scotland and finish it.

    that way it's possible and not too difficult

  • @JheakrynaKyAlur Thank you my Himmler UK is going down!

  • I want this game!

    Except the Hearts of Iron, do you know very good and above all very complete tactical wargames (and not STR like Warcraft or even mix games like the Total war)?

    I played some of the Ageod games (World War One!!) but I want to discover more of them... Are there any?

    Thanks for your reply.

  • How can you see the characters ?

  • 0:45 Problem, Commanding Officer?

  • I guess main problem is that most users are used to "strategic" games like AoE or CnC which rather should be called "tactic games".

    Well, Hoi is a real strategic game.

    It's kind of like your the Head of the State,

    so the military part comes down to

    "moving miniatures on a map",

    this way setting up frontlines etc

    while the bigger part is politics stuff.

    You should have minor interest in ww2 history and a faible for "Finetuning" too.

    Want to build barracks and train single soldiers?

    Wrong game.

  • @Roughstylez

    This is a Strategy Game, AoE or CnC are REAL TIME Strategy Games, so the labels are correct.

    BTW if HoI were just like the Total War series, it would be an awesome game

  • @Roughstylez

    I like these complex strategy games, but this game is terrible.

    The tutorial is completely useless and tells you 20% of what you want to know.

    There is tons of options and features and finding your way around them is a fucking puzzle. You get no help whatsoever, you are supposed to either know how everything works from the beginning or sit for several hours trying to figure it out.

  • @Shad0wack

    Yeah, i did not say that the game was made good.

    Concerning the massive amount of bugs

    in the game i totally believe you about the tutorial. ^^

    I did not play it, as i played HoI2 before and there i got "teached" by a friend, not by the tutorial.

    So this clearly gave me a better start-off with the game, it seems. ^^

    If you like this kinda games and get into it, you can have your fun,

    but even then there is the possibility that you do not like it, as tastes are different.

  • @Roughstylez this isn't only a "strategy" game. it's also a "grand strategy" because it includes, science, politics, diplomacy, etc, not just the military. but it still lets you control war doen to a regimental level which deems it a "strategy" game too. but it is by no means a "tactical" game, as you well said, because you do not actually direct battles.

  • @Roughstylez treu thaht are simple strategic games. this game and coh are wearl rts games.

  • @Roughstylez Personally for Me Real Time Stratergy Games are my Favourite Games of all time. But I love Both games like Hearts of Iron and the Tactical Gameplay you get on Games like Command and Conquer.

  • @Roughstylez HOI and Paradox are known for some of the best simulations of actual war as it was. Maybe a smaller scale tactical element would be fun for some of the more 'meth-head mega-click' generation (which I am also a member), but this game is for the cerebral. If you've read Operation Barbarossa (or any book about WWII), this is the game for you.

  • @Roughstylez does it have multiplayer?

  • @hatemf23

    All Paradox games are played best in Multiplayer.

    I've played EU3 HTTT with up to 8 people, that one with 8 was over two days.

    Best ever! After 20 hours of playing I can tell you that players are as close to the real thing as it gets. Speed of game remains low and constant, you plan every attack and def, every unit movement to its smallest detail, simply because you can and you have to. It's no longer a game, you become the protector of a nation you've built up.

    It's f.. awesome!

  • @Roughstylez  To put it simple, HoI is a GRAND STRATEGY game. That is the name of this subgenre of strategy games.

  • @Roughstylez games like HOI are called grand strategy 

  • SLOW

  • im just reading some of the comments and im blown away. there is TONS of stuff you can do in this game!!! i actually dont find enough time to do it, some of you need to explore the game a bit more. Otherwise, set the damn timer to extremely fast (as i have already stated in another comment). Go and launch a fucking campain against a small neighbouring country. Who cares if others attack you? its much easier to defend rather than to attack anyway. There is so much more i can talk about...........

  • can you play online this game?

  • its a great game only the fucking time is damm slow if you would begin in 1930 you would have at 1940 only 2 extra divions

  • its called setting the speed to extremely fast. i do that for a hearts of iron 2 mod which starts off in 1897 until the end of ww1

  • The game starts in 1936, that is the earliest and you cant start in 1940 either. And if you could do that a division just takes like 9-10 months to make if you have at full production. In reality a division takes that long to make them trained!

  • This game takes forever to get anything done. I started research for something on January 1 1936 and it was finished December 22 1936. of course I put the time movement to 5x fast forwards, but the game goes by hours! HOURS!? so I went to production. I put some buildings and units in production. I started, same date, and would have infantry ready around December too! SO, I went and did some laundry, homework, and ran some errands in town. When I got back it was October! FUCK! great details tho

  • lol thx for the warning ..yeh i hate slow games ..i usually look for cheats to speed up the game .

  • @DannyAlkhateeb there's no reason for the game to go by the hours. even if it were turn based and went by 6 months each turn.

  • @CDBigShow Buy a better computer, the game goes faster then! Or just fucking wait you lazy bastard. And you know what? There is other than wooden computers these days!

  • noob

  • @CDBigShow ya u are right this game took hour to complete and that frustrate me.

  • @CDBigShow use cheats mate thats what their for

  • best game ! :)
