We fail to see what your arm has to do with Hearts of Iron.

What? Maybe I should rephrase. The Marine Corps motto is "Semper Fidelis," shortened by Marines like myself to Semper Fi because we are too uncultured to speak Latin.

I suppose I was (in a round about smart ass fashion) asking: why that name for a grand strategy game EP that certainly is more comprehensive than the US AO in the Pacific theatre?

What did Doomsday or Armageddon have to do with WW2 either. It's just a phrase associated with WW2 and warfare in general.. Chill out dude.

I'm more interested in the features, which sound awesome. A little disappointed it wasn't in the first release to begin with though.

I was curious about the same thing:



Me: Why did you choose the title Semper Fi for the first HOI3 add-on? Semper Fi being Latin for “Always Faithful” and the motto of the US Marine Corps.

Johan: It was because of two reasons. First we wanted to make an expansion focusing on the weak points of the original game, namely the naval AI and the Pacific Campaign. Secondly, we wanted to tell our fans that we are always faithful to them.

Well then, let's see what this addon might bring. The 'paid patches', as some call it, aren't entirely new to PI games, but I cannot remember the announcement of an addon while the original game was still in a shape as bad as HoI 3 version 1.4.

Any information on the price players will have to pay for Semper Fi?

Well, the name was supposed to be Semper Fidelis, but I kept saying Semper Fi to people.. since I'm uncultured as well.

My goal with this project is to make sure the Pacific Campaign gets the attention it deserves and have lacked in all previous hoi games.

This is the best Tuesday, April 6, 2010 I have ever had. :) Thank you PI, I am very much looking forward to this expansion.

Also, Semper Fidelis would have been better/more accurate but who cares.

That "feature list" doesn't mention much about naval warfare, short of improved Naval AI (which isn't a bad thing, mind you).

What are the odds we can get a headsup on what is planned for the Navy? I have a poll thread I made a month or so ago I could direct you towards if you want a more "detailed" question ;p

No supply changes... And I shudder to think how gamespeed will change with a new AI on board. If these issues get resolved, we may have a winner.

What excited me most (despite the likelihood of me never realizing this) was the 32 player multiplayer. Good god imagine a 32 person LAN. :eek:
