Future DD topics?

[mdw1985]

Since we got at least 10-25 dds until release, i was wondering, which topics still are left to be presented. What do you still miss concerning the topics? Are there enough topics left, without repeating older dds partially?

My list of possible topics:

1st Changes on factories
2nd Japan
3rd GB
4th Game moddability
5th Reinforcements
6th Battle Planner
7th Naval invasions
8th Canada, Australia and India
9th New Air Force interface
10th Fortresses, province AA, infra.

Did i miss something on the list?

Espionage, national unity, and dissent?

Additional preferences could be
as indicated previously a DD on Aces, will there be similar features for submarines or do aces just refer to the air war. Related to this is also 'battle experience' in HoI 3 commanders were able to acquire (learn) new traits based on their experience, is this similar in HoI 4 and how does this affect troops and battles?
Secret weapons

 

[Sleight of Hand]

11: Cancellation.

 

[Admiral Fisker]

Minors?

 

[griffor]

i would like one on actual land combat ranks bonus's negatives etc, although i guess we will see it in www in 1939

Game mobility would be a silly DD, and I say that as someone who constantly says I will be modding the final version.

I'd like to see DDs on:
Colonies/puppets
Sea invasions
Espionage/Causing Coups in other countries
Creating a faction
Historical Inevitability - are some things inevitable/preventable, ie. US entering the war

And then mostly I'd just like to see a lot of the ones we've had redone in a more complete way since half of them left me with more questions than answers, and my questions never got answered.

Podcat thinks otherwise:

we will do a diary about modding and such before release

 

[Anichent]

Podcat thinks otherwise:

Doesn't change me thinking its silly. Just means Podcat will do something I think is silly

I just have a lot of other things I'd rather see in DDs

HERESY!

Beyond that.. At release, I'd like to see a "Future Plans for HOI4", aka roadmap for the first expansion.
Since we know the Dev's are certainly sitting on lots of ideas that will not have made it into the first release, would be nice to see what they thought was good enough to make it into the first DLC.

Countries like as Poland Romania Hungary Canada Australia
Partisans
Battle Plan
Invasion

 

[bkuepers]

Definately the following:

Puppet Mechanics
Battle Planner
Japan
Paradrop
Naval Invasion

 

[WarPie]

I would like to see a DD about atomic bomb or/and wunderwaffes.

 

[ThatLittleLegen]

Espionage, national unity, and dissent?

I don't think they are including espionage in the initial release, or at least it will be very limited. ill bet they save it for dlc though

Occupation & partisans & suppression.

What proportion of occupied factories and resources will countries be able to use?
Will countries be able to set different occupation policies for different occupied countries and will there be a cost to change policies?
Will partisan units randomly pop up as per HoI3 (where the rate was too high)?
Will partisan resistance reduce supply capacities?
Will players be able to reduce partisans effects to keep them safer from occupying troops during non-vital periods so that maximum effect can be achieved by unleashing them all at once at a key point in time?
How big an area will garrison divisions be able to influence?
Will divisions without Police companies be any use in suppressing partisans?
Will we need lots of "divisions" with say 1 infantry battalion & 1 police company or will we need just a few divisions with the standard 9 infantry battalions and 1 police company?

You missed the commanders: Generals, Admirals and Aces

Modding is a quite important part of many games today.

Denmark defeat in a few hours. Sweden only traded
