The only issue that I have that would be of major importance to me and most of the forumites would be this, reducing learning curve is one thing, making simple quite another. I would understand tool tip for a bunch of things. I would understand in-depth tutorials. I would understand allow for the AI to control some things and lead the player into understanding how things work.

What I would not want is for one of the few game makers left that makes challenging games; that I still want to buy and not pirate because I probably would only play it for like a day and a half and throw it away do to its shallow gameplay and ease of defeating; is to make a dumb down version just to sell copies. If that does occur the game company that I recently sold my soul too (you guys) would just as quickly lose me. Now I understand that my level of hard in a strategy game is not mosts level of hard. I want a game to literally try and beat me to a bloody pulp. I want to walk away with my arse sore and my head ringing. So I know that I have to wait sometimes for the modding community to truly get a hold of a game and tweak it to make it such, but so far P-dox has been better then all others at making it close out of the box.

So please don't puss out on us for sales. I beg you! Second please continue in your time honored tradition to allow you faithful to continue to be able to mod the game. I have faith (even if some of the items released so far concern me a little) in you, don't make me lose that faith.

By the way in the modern era I have yet to find a game design company that I buy a game just because their name is one it, that is except you. I love what you guys do and I hope that you will continue.

(BTW with all the money you guys make off of this can we please see a return to Vicky. And make the interface better but leave the depth and difficulty because everyone else doesn't seem to want to buy it anyway. I will pay you a lot of money for something like that... :rofl: )

You bastards, you told me if I slept with the whole dev team I'd get Vicky 2... :( :p

I'm worried. EUIII, by now a couple years(?) old, runs like a one-footed midget on my brand new laptop. 3D added almost nothing to the game and seeing as how much more of a resource-hog HoI2 was compared to EU2, I'm thinking that 1936-1939 (or the HoI3 equivalent) is going to take until 2025 to process.

I never tried these expansions with the supposed optimization; I will not spend more money on a product that is unplayable on a machine two years more advanced than the program itself. I hope that HoI3 runs a bit better than EU3 did out of the box.

And with that said, you can place me squarely in the "WAAAH I WANTED VICKY 2 / CK 2" camp, as either would have literally made me wet my pants. But I'm still very excited for HoI3 and will buy it. Let's just hope it runs.

And be sure, keep it in the same vein. The Total War / RTS etc. crowd, for the most part, isn't going to buy your game anyway, no matter how flashy or 3d you make it - and you're one of the few, if not the only developer that has its own fan base that no other game company can touch.

But you ARE paradox, and my least favourite of the four big series (CK/EU/Vicky/HoI) has taken full weeks out of my life - and I'm 99% sure that HoI3 will far outdo that ;)

I was simply ecstatic when I read the announcement about HOI 3. I'll wait as long as it takes to make the game as good as you can make it. Please release a collector's edition. HOI 2/Arma is still on my list as one of the top 5 games I've ever played. Thank you Paradox!

Having had my first contact with the new paradox engine - mere three hours playing EUIII v3.0 already amazed me beyond any expectation - my hopes for HoI 3 were just multiplied by a million fold.

The EUIII engine is almost perfectly conceived. I never imagined that I could find a better game than HoI 2 (at least before HoI 3 :D ), much less that it'd be so much better.

Keep going, Paradox, you're on the right track!

Cheers for HoI 3!! :D

a big fix em´ ?

I cant wait, nut I really HOPE that Paradox will take the time to fix the problems once and for all: I have played HOI for years but i have only finished the game a few times because of the incredibly slow rate it progresses to in the later years. The AI is strange and air and sea battles also defy logics.

Yet I keep playing it - month after month and year after year. This will hope fully be worth the wait.

I was gone, for, what, 2, 3 months? And this happens?

Well, I must say I'm very excited and-

GOOD GOD IT IT SO BEAUTIFUL. I WANT IT!

*Ahem* While many of the new features are quite nice, I hope I don't get stopped every 30 seconds with a unit asking if it should be given to the AI to control. Other games do that, but I trust Paradox with not messing up like that.
