So, I am a solo-Poland player (yes yes I know) and I just wanted to say that I'm really rather disappointed. Europe and especially Poland is really rather stale. Yes, I know that Poland got a DLC and the first focus tree that was awesome for emerging powers but come on now. The game is dull.

Sorry but I don’t understand. What is Poland supposed to do?

Probably upset Poland still can not gets into space. (Sorry, couldnt resist).

I can only guess the OP is upset that Poland is tough to play?

So maybe you should try playing other countries? This isn't EU4, nor CK2, where a lot of things can happen differently, HoI4 is focused on 2WW, so it's natural everything happens more or less the same if you're not playing ahistorical.

The game is dull yet you only play one nation?

First off, maybe try playing a different nation.

Secondly historical focus on or off?

Finally do you try radically different things (as much as that is possible only playing one nation) or always follow roughly the same approach

My biggest complaint about Poland is that the polish focus tree feels dated and obsolete compared to the newer and updated trees. I really hope that they find time someday to give it an overhaul.

The thing is that if absolutely all features of the game are not 100% renewed after each patch, tested and double tested to be perfect at launch and tweaked so that each individual players wishes are separately addressed and implemented into the game even if they totally conflict with each other -> then someone will get disappointed. That's just how it is.

However, if there is no critique, the game will not evolve. All we have to do is to be civil about it. Good job on this thread!

;)

So, I am a solo-Poland player (yes yes I know) and I just wanted to say that I'm really rather disappointed. Europe and especially Poland is really rather stale. Yes, I know that Poland got a DLC and the first focus tree that was awesome for emerging powers but come on now. The game is dull.

If you think the game is dull why do you play it? a game is meant for enjoyment. I personally love Hearts of Iron IV over 1000 hours now, and I'd say over 900 on Germany alone, with this DLC probably another 900 on Germany maybe more :D.

You think it's dull and I think work stops me playing more :(, and joining a good multiplayer group, each too their own I guess.:)

Try fighting to release the Kaiser from the Netherlands, with everyone ganging up on you and replaying the First World War. Europe is not dull AT ALL!

Sorry but I don’t understand. What is Poland supposed to do?

Oh Poland had a lot of oportunities that many people don't know about. For example in 1938 for most western countries poland was considered as germany's ally. The agreement between poland and allies was in fact a big surprise for entire world. Germany signed the Ribbentrop-Mołotow pact becouse the original plan with Polish-German alliance failed. Had the poland joined axis the world would probably be a very different place now.
