Doomstacking is not enjoyable for some of us.

Not being facetious in the least when I ask this, but is lag still seemingly a major problem for a noteworthy number of people playing (with computers within the stated system requirements) up to date and patched HoI3? Hell, I play it on my older laptop and it's fine, so I am a bit surprised if a notable portion of the playerbase is seemingly having issues with 'game-breaking' levels of lag now that the game has been optimized to an appropriate level.

I am hoping HoI4 will have a release more on par with CKII and VickyII so we can avoid a lot of those issues.

The saddest thing about your post is that a release on par with Vicky II would be a massive improvement on its predecessor.

It's most likely my lack of devotion to VickyII, but I thought the release was okay (certainly after having experienced HoI3's release). I do, however, recall some issues with POPs (I want to say capitalists).

Minus the insane rebels and half-broken economy, yeah, Vicky II's release was fine. The key word there was that it would still be a massive improvement.

Which in its purest form (Darkest Hour) is still immensely more enjoyable than HoI3.

Just a question: I'm running an ancient machine and run 1.5seconds/day, TFH 4.02. In all sincerity, how slow is this?

A whole year or more to wait? <sigh> Well, I guess all the Developer's Diaries will keep me excited until Q1 next year.

Well, Tigers were present in token numbers in the desert fight in Tunisia in 1943, and Rommel was also commanding in Normandy.

And here I was thinking the other day, after I finished a session with EUIV, if you would make HOI 4.

I just hope you will make a last expansion/patch to hoi 3 before you leave it, there is still stuff that could be fixed/tweaked.
