Gamespot has posted up their first impressions of HoI3. Not seeing this posted here yet, I figured I should do so. It doesn't seem to contain much (or any) new information but I've not even finished reading it yet so hey

I wonder how much of a pain governments-in-exile will be for Germany. Question, what happens if you nuke a city with a government-in-exile in it?
A very positive tone to this preview, will certainly set a good mood and encourage people to watch development.

They will turn into governments-in-dust.....
No this is a serious question... what does happen to a government in exile when their gracious host loses the province they are located in...
King said:
Would Germany 'own' their provinces as if they had annexed them, or would they 'occupy' them like when you take over a province without annexing the owner in HOI2.

I wonder how the supply system is going to work... with multiple depots? Maybe even multiply country specific depots (so a Polish division in exile deployed to France after a successful Normandy invasion is supplied by the Polish supply point in London?
What about historical exile government of Estonia 1944-1992 in Sweden? Estonia was not allied to other states, so will Estonia be totally annexed to Soviet Union?
Estland said:
Maybe if there isn't an allied government, they move to a randomly decided country with their ideology and is on 0-200 relations with (not negative).
humancalculator said:
But how to destroy exile governments? Can I make contracts to exile government of state occupied by me? What happens, when relations turn negative? And can I host exile governments or deny them to live in my country?
I do hope that is only for certain cases. E.g. government-in-exile for Poland or Estonia, but not Yunnan Clique or something. Also it'll be odd having one tiny province within your state be another country.
Of course if this is mainly for you playing the nation, then that'd be interesting. Could also be done to simulate de Gaulle's forces in Africa better, etc.

Awesome! Governments in exile!
That means i could play the Netherlands but when Germany invades, I'll still be able to take care of the East Indies while in Exile

think they don't own ANY provinces while in exile. They probably just leech away their hosts ic and basically become part of their hosts country in a sense. At least that is how I perceive it. Maybe a dev knows more then me.

If you own the East Indies, wouldn't you just have your capital moved to Jakarta?

Isn't that already possible in HoI2?
So let us drow some lines from this report("new things"):
HOI III will introduce:
-ability to asign AI to handle for player some aspects of war effort of his country,some fronts(I am extatic!)
-specific military hardware for different countries.
-specific mobilisation for different countries.
-deepened tech three.
Oh my Good!

"Fast-forward three years to today, when we had a meeting with Paradox developers to talk about the latest game in the series--Hearts of Iron III. The first thing they mentioned they were working on? Making sure that learning curve is far less steep than before."
Am I the only one who thinks that might be bad?
Does less steep learning curve = less depth?
