Hearts of Iron IV - 35th Development Diary - 27th of November 2015

[Sleight of Hand]

Any chance of seeing the bit of the focus tree that's off the bottom of the screen?

Is there an option for Germany to press to have its pre-WW1 colonies returned? (Granted, it's hard to see a player wanting to take this option before the outbreak of war, but it would be a nice touch as there was a constituency calling for it within Germany)

Yes, that would be a nice little option. I like the idea of trying to re-build a surface fleet and colonial empire as Germany, rather than simply invading all of your European neighbors.

Have the Pre Dreadnoughts been eliminated from the German navy as they did not fit into the Navy Tech?

 

[podcat]

Befriend Japan leads to no other national focii ? That's kinda odd

May be link it up with something related to naval effort

its basically a choice between china or japan (mutually exclusive)

 

[Enewald]

Is there any major choice for creating an alliance as Germany with France/UK? Or focusing on allying with US?
Instead of Drang nach Osten, Drang nach Westen?

 

[FieldMedic]

Is there any possibility for Germany to buddy up with the democratic powers? If Germany switches government type does this option tree change?

Cool DD! What's the next weeks topic?

Yeah but other "befriend decision" lead to something else usually, and since that's one of the most important one i found odd that it was a dead end in the tree.

subs!

Can you guys do something about that monotone 'grid' city graphic being used everywhere? It looks so boring, it would be a lot better if you just created a picture or two of maze-like streets and use them.

The rest looks absolutely awesome. I am hyped!

 

[Darkath]

No war with the United States Focus ?

 

[Will Steel]

subs!

Finally, my most favourite topic. Yay!

 

[SonGoku]

Danzig for Slovakia sounds like an interessting option. :3

However, can I turn Germany into a democracy again, with Hitler as HOS? I'd like to see that. Really.

 

[Gureon]

That is a lot of shaking hands... seems like Germany can play like its the European Union, lol.

Germany allies everybody. No WW2. Everybody wins?

War between China and Japan was still going on though, and it would've caused a world war too.

Thank you for this diary, podcat!

Is "Around Maginot" Fall Gelb (Invasion of France through the Low Countries)? If so can it not be taken if you go down the "Befriend Denmark"? There doesn't seem to be anything mutually exclusive about the two.

 

[Turtleblaze]

Great DD podcat! Are you able to tell us what next weeks diary will cover?

 

[Enewald]

Europäische Union, the origins!

 

[krieger11b]

So we can swap Danzig for Slovakia? Hell yes! One useless land that ends up with a useless ally for a critical coast line that lets you invade the USSR without having to go to war with Poland and we can finally go one on one with the USSR without going to war with the west
