Dev diaries!

[podcat]

I'm planning my dev diaries for the future, and other than stuff for expansions/DLC and patches and such are there any special topics you guys would love to hear about down the line? Now is the chance to ask!

Espionage and such.

China

Reworked puppet/independence system

A bit flavoured gameplay (events etc) for Raj

Improved supply system, more priority of AI for infrastructure

Being able to see if any country lend lease/boost party/stage coup to other

Faction leader traits

Cooperative war plans between allies

etc etc

I think podcat meant what we want to see in future dev diaries, not in future DLC.

yes this. diaries on features and changes will get made, but that can not be every week because we have periods just after a patch and such, so I'm more wondering about other general topics

Some in-depth talk on how air combat works would be nice (with numbers, statistics and such), since that is largely a mistery to me at the moment.

yeah, I could have a diary about the more hidden mechanics with explanations that really need neater UIs.

- your thoughts on where the game is now, where you see it going short-medium term, and why you hate ledgers and pop-ups (and by association, all Paradox gamers ever )

Haha, yeah that would be a lot of interesing discussions on I promise I will do it as part of an expansion diary.

an overview of the road map for the next months

yea, prolly gonna be next week's diary

@podcat Any news on the "Tannu Tuva Experience DLC" that is complete with a unique focus tree and 20+ portraits for the nation of Tannu Tuva?

its almost ready, we have been using all the AI coders to make it during the patch development time so its been progressing well

Sigh. Anyway, I would like to know what kind of research goes into the game and how exactly the team chooses, in some instances, between gameplay and historical accuracy. Although, I guess this could apply to almost any PI game. Also, more screenshots per diary would be awesome, please.

ya, another good topic I think

And also if the modding support can be expanded.

do you have any specifics you would like to see expanded?

 

[podcat]

the special topic im thinking of is the Return of Manchukuo a must needed nation and Japans biggest ally in the pacific besides Siam historically.

improving the pacific war or making new puppet state mechanics such as building on puppet territory or Releasing them as you so choose.

And fixing up Korea! giving it a proper communist flag (DPRK)

keep up the good fight! once we get around to it maybe you can do some guest writing for the dev diary?

I am one of HOI4 devs that always was in shades until now. I have to reply, keep fighting for Manchukuo man, we see you! We support you!

Never give up Shnukshnuk. Manchuko will be free!

Technically, it'll be a Japanese puppet
