While pops would most certainly make the game more micro-managing to play (and therefore more time consuming and annoying, imho) it would certainly make some aspects more interesting.
Maximilian I said:
"pops"? Do you mean risings??.
Will there be a TAG for them, and/or will they be in the Liberate puppet section? (with their own ministers and leaders etc...)
Pops are a feature in Victoria. As Max said, that feature will not be included in HoI 2.
OMG No pops for HOI2 O_O ...

Hey, gunnl, let's treat POPs with respect, man!Gunnl said:
They were -- no doubt about it -- Paradox's most brilliant innovation. (and I DO mean this, oddly enough!)
It's just that you warmongers have no appreciation for the finer points of historical sims -- all you want to do is blow stuff up!
So POPs in Victoria were good aye?
Maybe I will try Victoria after all...
But no. Kurds = race or ethnic groups required (and possibly religion too) and for WWII that is a very touchy subject.
Although it may not be 100% true and accurate it is better that all soldiers and countries in HoI are populated by 'Acme Standard People'. (The purple skinned ones, all born on a steam ship on the ocean and who all believe in the same God or absence of God
Politically safer that way for Paradox.

I'm totally in favor of there bieng ethnic groups in HoII. Along with Population size and possibly even religions. It would decide stuff like loyalty to the government, how a country percieves the actions of it's neighbors ie those with the same religion are easier to influence (religion wasn't entirely irrelevant politically even at that time).
Some people in the real world would most likely be upset by such a feuture but why should anyone care about them.

Acusations of anti-semitisim?
HoI2 banned in many countries?
HoI2 labled as Nazi?
Big can of worms.
No - this is a war game. My soldier is tougher and better equiped than yours. I'm happy with that.

Do you know if there are any minorities that can declare independence? IE if a axis Turkey is shattered, could we see Kurdistan become a seperate state?

As far as I know, there is a single huge issue why pops are NOT going to be in HoI2, No matter what.
Simply, what would you do with all the jews? Of course, doing it realistically with jew pops being reduced is NOT going to be in, and both leaving them out completely if a system for modeling them existed, and letting them live till the end of war can be interpreted as a political stand. So, case closed.
There'll be no uprising of Kurds most likely, just as there won't be any events letting the player cull them......
But do include a Kurdistan TAG please....Maximilian I said:I´m not allowed to disclose which new revolters/possible free states have been added....
Maybe create Kurdish areas of Iraq and Turkey as able to be granted independce by Iraq or Turkey, there portions, like Mosul in Iraq.
Thats easily doable, is doable in HoI 1, look at Republican Spain, they ahve 3 or 4 places that can be granted independce in just Spain itself, heh.

Do u want HoI2 to be banned in Turkey
.Ofcourse that Kurds should be implemented no doubt of that.
I'm totally in favour of introducing foot (boot) sizes in HOI. It will be important for calculating supply consumption and relative costs of different branches of military.GoblinCookie said:I'm totally in favor of there bieng ethnic groups in HoII.
