HOI4 Dev Diary - Back from summer!

[N3UTR0N]

A new expansion! Yay! I'm intrigued to know what awaits us in the next expansion!

 

[Indyclone77]

Look forward to seeing and hearing more about it!

USSR is in need of some urgent love.

 

[jtrainor]

I would bet money the next expansion is USSR related.

 

[Uberbrandon]

Vemork Hydro Plant!?
I just finished reading "The Winter Fortress" by Neal Bascomb and LOVED it if anyone is looking for a good read.

 

[DicRoNero]

I don't have a lot for today, and spent all my vacation moving and not going to any cool WW2 places, so I will end this diary with a cool WW2 related vacation pic from @Bratyn. Bonus points if you can spot where its from

Vemork is a ww2 place since it was visited by the British commandos!

 

[Major Malfunction]

France rework means Italy rework. A general rule is 2 Majors to be reworked per DLC.
Which means USSR will be reworked after a year, which in turn means we'll still have band-aid solutions to collapsing SOV-GER front and AI's inability to deal with pretty much anything.
Well, unless we;ll get another Iceland DLC after Husky.

This expansion will not be USSR. Soviet deserves a expansion pretty much for itself and fits better with some mechanic stuff I got planned for the future rather than now. I felt it was good to get this out of the way early because I know a lot of people wanna see Soviet stuff.

Telemark Heavy water Plant (Vemork)

What is the price?

Yep. So either sabotage (espionage) or strategic bonus resources are poised to be part of this DLC - or both!

 

[Blinho]

If France is going to be revamp it smells like mediterranean time. Hope to see a good Republican Spain !!

 

[GeorgieBest]

Disappointed that there isn't any mention of bugfixes, there are still a lot of problems from the last patch to be addressed.

Sad, but understandable.


But this being said, if France is a focus in the new expansion I wonder what it's theme is going to be? Considering both Czechosovakia and Romania have a focus tree, it's not gonna be a little Entente theme.

Maybe Franco-Iberia? With France, Spain and Portugal getting trees?

Ugh, I want to know it now!

 

[Invader]

Whichever countries you prefer to revamp: please include supplies in the next expansion.

I Like Custom Plane Desiging Like Mtg Ships

Taking that bet could have been some easy money for us, but nooooooo...

Ah well, my interest and elation at seeing this DD has died out now. Greatest part of the ww2 was German-Soviet war which is completely broken at this stage and I will have to wait another year and probably more for it now.

I would say it is important to do that war correctly. Dedicating expansion to USSR and mechanics tied to it that would be needed for such rework = higher chance that said war rework will be done right.
