- 50 Fuhrer Mana for Sweden
The HOI4 team is turing out to be a little flaky with their dev diaries and marketing now.
He wouldn't nuke Oslo. He knows it is mostly Swedes living there...

This is the nation that unleashed the "Barbie Girl" song on the world we are talking about, if anything it is not punishment enough!
Remember me of then I played Sweden in HOI2, stayed at peace and teched to nukes in 1944 which I used to launch an invasion on UK.
Exactly. Information is scarce an far-between, and this is not a good sign. Even on the topics already covered by DDs, much is still unknown to us. Just look at the Air Combat DD : it doesn't tell you how Air Combat works in the game, it's juste a vague description of "This how we envision Air Combat in HoI IV".
We still don't know anything about central parts of the game, like land combat or diplomacy.
So, either the devs know what they are doing, and they tell us nothing, which is really a bad PR move, or they actually don't know a lot of stuff, which is really worrying considering the announced release period is in three months.
And don't tell me writing one Word page worth of text and taking three screenshots is too time-consuming.
I know its obvious what military factors and ship yards produce, but what do civilian factories produce? Is it just consumer goods and maybe making other factories? Or does it represent factories that the player can't assign due to the war laws enacted? Thanks in advance.
The devs know what they are doing, I have not had a single disappointment from HOI4 yet.
It is much harder to design a completely new game (HOI4) then building upon a previous design (EU4).
Maybe a screen shot of secret tech tree could be nice to see.
Consumer goods are what you trade to get resource, they also build all buildings.
The higher mobilization law the less efficienct you can produce consumer goods but the more efficienct you can build buildings.

No, but I can see answering questions in the 20+ page thread that follows it is.
But yeah, still not knowing anything about basic mechanics like logistics indicates that the best case scenario probably is another extension of the release.
Well the Regiments in Jutland kept on fighting the Germans against impossible odds. If I remember correctly the order of cease fire didn't come until the Luftwaffe threatened to bomb civilian targets. The Danes did take out several armored targets with their locally produced 20 mm cannon which actually sparked German interest. We weren't completely useless
Of course we wouldn't have been able to completely stop them but I do believe my grandfather would have give them a fight for their money :happy: He was part of the resistance afterwards and managed to flee from political prisoner camps a few times. Its more than the Swedes did :glare:
True. I do not want to belittle the resistance that was there both in the first 6 hours and afterwards. Tbh as Denmark in the situation i actually feel we got the best out of the situation considering the fact that it would be impossible to resist due to size difference and especially due to terrain. Even though we still get a bit flag for just surrendering we did manage to rescue the jews, sink the navy in '43 and ofcourse also have an actual resistance.
This is actually a pretty good short explanation for those interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_invasion_of_Denmark_%281940%29
Also theres a movie coming out (in danish) about the invasion. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3542188/
Well it is yet some time left before Januari 1 2036
, the historical year for the game so paradox get a big penalty trying to develop something like it 20 years ahead of time.png){kind=avatar}
It was an interesting picture. Speaking of Nukes I wonder what the effects of a nuclear blast will be on the target area.
I was very annoyed that in HoI3 it didn't definitely destroy the province. A few weeks later, it was like if never had happened...

It did mess up the country instead, ww2 nukes was not that powerful so it is maybe rather realistic.
You probably have to use civilian factories to build up your country again so no more free repair of infrastructure.

WW2 nukes weren't that powerful. Though I agree with the too quickly repaired bit nevertheless.

WW2 nukes werent all that powerfull - damage they caused was slightly higher than major bomber raid.
I wanted to write something about "Unrest +x" but this thread is purely awesome with all these jokes
