One thing about this game is it's accurate...playing as a major faction like Germany, America, or any other countries in the war, you're gonna start out with bombers and infantry and tons of stuff to build. But let's say you play as like south Arabia, you'll get militia, armored cars, garrison troops, and maybe a few other things. On the air force, you get a naval bomber, and on naval, transports, and that's it. They didn't really balance the game, but that's good, bc they made it more realisti
Fuck everytime I get the soviets I build a fucking invincible army to counter germans and germans do not attack in 1941! This is so fucking frustrating. They even invade england instead of USSR so fucking stupid. They should have fixed that in 2.04.
@SovietLenin1 The germans? Yeah they always loose against the soviets somehow. But historically they should attack URSS in 41 while in my games they don't.
@australianforlife Could it be because you are playing against AI and not a real thinking mind? Germany is the easiest nation to play in the game and winning the game with it is not something to be proud of really.
Looks are deceiving, Russia starts out with horrifically low Unity, at 55%, rendering the country instantly lost if they lose Moscow, and making the better laws unattainable. The only way to remedy this is to perform the great purge, which both kills off many of your officer corps, and puts a 10% leadership penalty, rendering the already technologically defunct low leadership SU even further behind, forcing them to utilize low-tech units in greater numbers.
Wow this had so much in it that was completely inappropriate for children, I think my kids will never get over this it was R rated borderline X rated...(extreme sarcasm)
Posible to win both as Germany and SSSR on "barbarossa" and "day of infamy", on "tide has turned" and "gotterdammerung" as germany you can stop the soviets on line between konigsberg and odessa to the end of game using rivers and fortifications build. No cheats, that spoils the game.
And, as germany you must use Blitz- encircle and destroy soviet troops is more important than just won ground-they have 3-4x more manpover!!!
what I hate about this game is that you have to micromanage the SMALLEST freaking battle! I love Europa, but in this I just get frickin' spammed with "LOST THIS BATTLE" "WON THIS BATTLE" and i can't operate -.-
HOI3 has stuff better than HOI2 but HOI2 is less complicated, its soo slow in HOI3 and cant fast up like HOI2, also the tech cheats are terrible, they should have kept the cheats like what they did in HOI2
@lester2222 You can also increase your threat level in various ways, and some countries have scripted events that allow them to go to war (eg Germany with the "Danzig or War" event related to Poland).
turkey is in the game but i'm not sure what the political system is....it will be historically accurate for the time so if it was a republic in 1939 then in the game it will be too.
@WootCanada There was only 1 party allowed in Turkey between 1923 and 1946. Kinda nationalist-dictatorship. Government was stronger than the current one though..
They used calvary vs armor divisions.. it would be interesting to do but without a mod or on the easiest difficulty Poland should not be able to defeat a German player.
W HOI 2 dało się wygrać Polską bez pomocy aliantów. Wystarczyło ulepszyć piechotę do modelu 39 i zaatakować wsch. Prusy. Jeśli ma to być gra historyczna to zwycięstwo (kontratak na Berlin) powinno być niemożliwe. Ciekawie by natomiast było gdyby Polska mogła zawrzeć sojusz z Niemcami przeciwko ZSRR lub z Małą Ententą.
actually Polish forces were pretty strong comparing them to europe countries armed forces accept germany and france but the strategic position was catastrophic even before the war started.
Poland had a great welltrained army and good leadership. Prior to the German takeover of Checkoslovakia Poland would probably been able to put up an decent defense. They argued this situation to France and GreatBritain during the Munich aggreement. But they were too anxious to please Hitler then. So when Germany finally declared war against Poland the country was extremely surrounded were the Germans had 4 major routes to take against the Poles. Not to mention they got backstabbed by Russia.
For every german lost 4 poles died. Polish army was like italian. A lot of constripts with old equipment. Some units (mountain divisions and mechanized cavalry brigades) were good units but usually it looked like a WWI army.
Its amazing how some people would say this game would is boring by looking at the graphics instead of the gameplay. Only true strategy fans would appreciate this kind of games =D
there are so many options in this game im getting really nervous... imagine how much time this game will eat!!! :D This will be epic! SO MANY IOPTIONS... I hope there will be an option to reorganise units equipment. 'cause I WANT to upgrade polish tank guns to 125 mm in 1939 :D
@numbersss101 Obviously, besides its not really that its boring, ofcourse it has its boring moments, but most people just can't handle the amount of options and things you need to watch, they think the total war series is true strategy, but they cannot think beyond the battlefield, they lack patience, they lack the quality to raise towards the highest in terms of leading, because though the battles in the last are great, the ruling of an empire is far from complete there unlike in hoi. i love it
@numbersss101 well everbody know that stategy fans dont care about hte graphic but board fans Hates call of duty and so on and they dont care about the graphic only gameplay
@numbersss101 and i do, they can go back to their cod, im going to play ruse, command and conquer, civilizations and hearts of iron because its actually challenging
I hope that by making thousands of provinces, they haven't made it more complicated to play. Although, you certainly get more of a scale of what Germans will be up against this time around
I like the fact that, this time, instead of having to play as commander of all your countries forces, you have the option to play as, say, Hitler or Stalin thanks to the AI commanders.
I think Russia should have Gulags or at least some sort of concentration camp where they could put political prisoners/POWs/or threats to the state. etc. It would make it more historically accurate. And it would be cool if you could move like the Volga Germans or the Tartars there once they'd become a threat, like it would be interesting/fun to just move groups of people around, or deport them to places, or countries, it could even have a victory point count towards winning.
Paradox has already said many time they are not putting what your asking in game, cause too many sociological trouble in many country, so risk for the game to get banned (in other word same reason they don't put swastika)
If you want them you will have to find or make a mod, which is not a trouble with paradox game since they are very mod friendly.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have started a petition to have them put these things in the game, it will make it way better and it is important to be historically accurate I think more than what maybe two or even four people think is 'wrong' they are the ones who are wrong and do not understand that it needs to be historically accurate. They are wrong.
Good luck with that but Paradox is still a business so like I said if you want those you will have to go with mod, since Paradox is no gonna block itself market like Germany to be the most historically accurate game ever.
They said they will never put those in so often (and is also stickied) that tread about those that appear on the forum get auto delete.
But good luck still, but would be less trouble to make a mod =)
I think you are right about the POW camps, this would be an interesting addition so that instead of killing the other side you could actually encircle them and capture them instead. You could then set a policy of exploiting the POW's. Following the Geneva convention, or seeing if you could entice them to even fight for you. Eg. General Vlasov's Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia. etc.
You can already encircle and capture them in HOI 1 and 2. Liberating prison camps could be a feature, but since it's a simulation (and one built for the sake of entertainment, in stead of realism) a lot of real world situations will not make it in the end, especially if they didn't have an impact on the war.
I think encircling and choosing to capture rather than destroy would be an interesting feature. Where captured soldiers would have a drain on supplies but add a bit to manpower and should a player choose to destroy their belligerence could increase.
@mage4un a whole lot of fun looking to the western powers :D they still love it don't they? Netherlands invented it, USA loved to put ethnic Japanese in camps, Russia killed more in camps then the war did, England still has camps in annexed Northern Ireland, but long love freedom! long live truth and equality though I am 100% sure the allies give us the opposite of this!
Civ3? That was Ages ago. CIV IV had an OK one, I guess. Of course, the only satisfying AI will be when they don't have to handycap the player to make the game harder...
Well, HOi2 had a crappy AI, and it was still loads of fun (for me anyway) and they did say they were improving it...paradox does strike me as a corp that at least sometimes listens to it's customers. Unlike, frigging Ubi or EA...
Well I don't know, HoI2 had pretty good AI actually. It didn't know how to react to some things but overall the AI was good especially with the patches. + You could mod AI which was important.
But yeah lets hope for an even better AI in the next version, if its worse I'll just pirate the game but if its really nice I'll definetly buy it and any expansions to support the effort.
Well, having read the developer's diaries...I'm guessing they will have to improve the AI significantly, as they have made it into such a major component. The whole auto-control features, all that. It would look extremely bad if that doesn't work, so hopefully they will take good care to ensure functionality. I for one would be more than willing to have them push the release date back a month or more just for that.
hey, the time won't get longer. Just more detailed. Unless the game slowes your PC down, which, of course, it will. But with the new system, you could just Strategic bomb them, after destroying their army and Airforce, of course.
I'm still waiting for you to show me how Communism (true communism if you will in line with Marx, Engels etc) is compatible with reality or even human nature. It seems to me the idea sounds like a good idea on paper or in political science textbooks. But when actually applied to reality it falls apart. Its a pie in the sky theory.
Give me one example of a Communist regime or country that could produce a society of abundance. Give me one Communist country that can or could compete economically with a Capitalist nation. Give me one Communist country where the government bureaucracy didn't turn corrupt and become a ruling/elite class of its own.
I didn't see a lot of equality or abundance in the Soviet Union. Generals and Politburo members didn't have to wait in line 12 hours for cheese and bread. Everything was scarce.
that is true mate some people who did not lived under communist regime think that it is cool. No it does not there is no inflation wages are high but you can not buy anything and if you can it will be some inferrior-quality goods. Communist society = society of equal slaves. If capitalism have rich and poor communism have equal poor people.
Exactly. When I see people walking around with their Che and USSR shirts I want to punch them in the fucking mouth. I don't see a difference between someone wearing a USSR shirt and a Nazi SS or Gestapo shirt. Both regimes are equally disgusting. Communism is one of those things that seems cool when you are on the outside.
you are sooo right, i'm so mad when some kind of pseudo intelligent maniac praises che and stalin and actually believes in all that. They can't be reasonably explained how it actually worked. I lived in Poland, so my parents did...it sucked completely, until 1989 of course.
That is what they always freaking say! But, while true, it's also extremely shallow and hypocritical. As it turns out, capitalism works well on paper and creates a lot of wealth, but if left to its own devices, it, too, will stagnate. So, there does need to be a bit of state control, trust-busting, fraud-preventing and protection of the public interest. Like in Germany, for instance...
Yeap... no system is perfect, (almost) nothing is perfect.
My mother used to say "The paper can hold anything you can put on it" (sorry of it has not many sense, im translatin it from Spanish.
Talking about Germany, its amazing how it recovered from the war... Germany went back to year 0, and rose again in 50 years, and that without taking into account that it was splitted in two ´till 90´s
U.S. is isolationist at that time (Through Roosevelt himself is aligned toward allies).
Has for other country like Australia, Canada, South Africa... They are part of Commonwealth alliance so they basically join allies when U.K. enter wars.
4:1 odds pfft. itd be like me facing 4 noobs in cs who just got the game 2day. anyone could beat the russians in a defensive war at that point; they sucked.
I just hope that they will correct the positions of the capitals in the game. Warsaw is far to far in the north, Kaunas is to much in the west, Riga and Tallinn are too much in the south and Helsinki too much in the north.
It took the soviets ~5 months to break through the main finnish defence line, I wouldnt call that an epic fail if ur outnumbered 4 to 1 in men and much more in machines...
I am NOT attacking Soviet Union! hehe...the size I think will make it more realistic. But then again, the size can act as a disadvantage for Soviet Union as well...
It can be argued that Communism never had a chance because outside of books its not realistic or adaptable to human nature. Even with Lenin or someone else calling the shots. Communism replaced the Czars and royal family with a bureaucratic elite. Its just a republican form of tyranny. Anyways, as you can see I'll enjoy smashing Communism on my computer in this game. lol

omfg4000 2 years ago
Civ3? That was Ages ago. CIV IV had an OK one, I guess. Of course, the only satisfying AI will be when they don't have to handycap the player to make the game harder...
Brandt761 2 years ago
Exacly. Fuck I heat every difficulty nowdays being more STUFF for the AI...
Basicly that will break or make this game for me. The Artificial intelligence. Cause I don't plan on sitting playing 12 hours multiplayer straight :P
omfg4000 2 years ago
Well, HOi2 had a crappy AI, and it was still loads of fun (for me anyway) and they did say they were improving it...paradox does strike me as a corp that at least sometimes listens to it's customers. Unlike, frigging Ubi or EA...
Brandt761 2 years ago
Well I don't know, HoI2 had pretty good AI actually. It didn't know how to react to some things but overall the AI was good especially with the patches. + You could mod AI which was important.
But yeah lets hope for an even better AI in the next version, if its worse I'll just pirate the game but if its really nice I'll definetly buy it and any expansions to support the effort.
omfg4000 2 years ago
Well, having read the developer's diaries...I'm guessing they will have to improve the AI significantly, as they have made it into such a major component. The whole auto-control features, all that. It would look extremely bad if that doesn't work, so hopefully they will take good care to ensure functionality. I for one would be more than willing to have them push the release date back a month or more just for that.

hey, the time won't get longer. Just more detailed. Unless the game slowes your PC down, which, of course, it will. But with the new system, you could just Strategic bomb them, after destroying their army and Airforce, of course.

I'm still waiting for you to show me how Communism (true communism if you will in line with Marx, Engels etc) is compatible with reality or even human nature. It seems to me the idea sounds like a good idea on paper or in political science textbooks. But when actually applied to reality it falls apart. Its a pie in the sky theory.

Give me one example of a Communist regime or country that could produce a society of abundance. Give me one Communist country that can or could compete economically with a Capitalist nation. Give me one Communist country where the government bureaucracy didn't turn corrupt and become a ruling/elite class of its own.
I didn't see a lot of equality or abundance in the Soviet Union. Generals and Politburo members didn't have to wait in line 12 hours for cheese and bread. Everything was scarce.
maddingo12 2 years ago 2
that is true mate some people who did not lived under communist regime think that it is cool. No it does not there is no inflation wages are high but you can not buy anything and if you can it will be some inferrior-quality goods. Communist society = society of equal slaves. If capitalism have rich and poor communism have equal poor people.

those who were born in west and think it was cool in ussr, have seen it only from posters. and posters are cool even in somalia.
justiakas 2 years ago 2
Exactly. When I see people walking around with their Che and USSR shirts I want to punch them in the fucking mouth. I don't see a difference between someone wearing a USSR shirt and a Nazi SS or Gestapo shirt. Both regimes are equally disgusting. Communism is one of those things that seems cool when you are on the outside.
maddingo12 2 years ago 2
you are sooo right, i'm so mad when some kind of pseudo intelligent maniac praises che and stalin and actually believes in all that. They can't be reasonably explained how it actually worked. I lived in Poland, so my parents did...it sucked completely, until 1989 of course.
blumyztikk 2 years ago
Agreed... you have a lot of truth there... like my histiry teacher said: "Communism only works on paper"
VRichardsn 2 years ago
Agreed as well.
blumyztikk 2 years ago
That is what they always freaking say! But, while true, it's also extremely shallow and hypocritical. As it turns out, capitalism works well on paper and creates a lot of wealth, but if left to its own devices, it, too, will stagnate. So, there does need to be a bit of state control, trust-busting, fraud-preventing and protection of the public interest. Like in Germany, for instance...
Brandt761 2 years ago
Yeap... no system is perfect, (almost) nothing is perfect.
My mother used to say "The paper can hold anything you can put on it" (sorry of it has not many sense, im translatin it from Spanish.
Talking about Germany, its amazing how it recovered from the war... Germany went back to year 0, and rose again in 50 years, and that without taking into account that it was splitted in two ´till 90´s

U.S. is isolationist at that time (Through Roosevelt himself is aligned toward allies).
Has for other country like Australia, Canada, South Africa... They are part of Commonwealth alliance so they basically join allies when U.K. enter wars.

I just hope that they will correct the positions of the capitals in the game. Warsaw is far to far in the north, Kaunas is to much in the west, Riga and Tallinn are too much in the south and Helsinki too much in the north.
Besides that, it is a great game

Is this some "special" campaign since "Finland" is obviously occupied by Soviet Union (Finland was a sovereign state in 1936).

What are you talking about? She's clearly independent in the scenario and with her correct pre-1940/44/47 borders.

It can be argued that Communism never had a chance because outside of books its not realistic or adaptable to human nature. Even with Lenin or someone else calling the shots. Communism replaced the Czars and royal family with a bureaucratic elite. Its just a republican form of tyranny. Anyways, as you can see I'll enjoy smashing Communism on my computer in this game. lol
