I suggest devs to ask the community to find any historic companies (and their logos) to save them time and workload. Why do something, when someone else can do it for them

 

[FarEast]

I like this system. nice!

> "Victors of WW1"

Victors of the Great War would make more sense in the interwar.

IKR. If only France noticed the name of their malus modifier, they would not be so blasé about their stagnating doctrine development.

But hopefulley the AI will NEVER do this? Is there a way to turn these things off? Otherwise it would also break multiplayer games in my opinion, it wouldn't be a WW2 game if these things happen, like Germany turning communist and Soviet fascists, it would be a fantasy game.

If these things are just for the people that really don't care about history at all, and just want a strange bizarre world where everything can happen (sandbox), than that is perfectly ok, but there should be a possibility to turn of the craziness as well.

i believe that a good way to deal with this issue about more historical or more ahistorical game would be to add a,button in game,setup that would choose between that

something like the luck button in euiv

 

[Vedinu]

Its not like stuff like houserules exist.

Always these immersion fanatics that want to take choice from the player. Optional options are optional.

Personally, I think giving the player choice doesn't mean he should be succesful in every thing. As an extreme example, I think it would be stupid to give the player the choice to nuke the world in 1939. Because options are options.

Same applies in ideological conversion. While I think you should be able to try it as much as you want, actually succeeding should be a challenge (at least for majors), and should maybe take your attention from other things, modeled with a loss of political power capital for example.

You can try to research to get nukes for 1939 but you won't succeed because that would just make for a bad game.

 

[Riekopo]

Only three political factions is kind of disappointing. I thought the community rejected EU4 mana. Why does it seem like we're getting the same thing in HoI4?

 

[Snow Wolf]

Dear Paradox,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_arms_industry_corporations_by_nation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Military_industry_by_country

some of these date way back.

As an example, Argentinian weapons factory, founded in 1927(!).

I hope I could be of help

For the release, I don't think it's such an issue. But for moding purpose, it will be great if we could create our own new faction, and go ahead of the 3 limit. And I don't think only about mod it, but also be able to create it in game. It will be a good feature for those (like me) who love ahistorical games. And what if Monroe doctrine leads to an independent America continent faction?
But I pretty much don't know if on an AI/technical point of view it's realistic to hope for this feature.

 

[joeenochs]

Players are free to do what they want, even if it doesnt make sense all the time. Sometimes these guys who arent of the ruling ideology can be prominent political figures, writers or journalists and assigning them a slot with PP symbolizes that you let them spread propaganda etc (so its a way you can switch your countries politics over time) .

I don't like it. I think HOI4 should be about alternativ worlds, but at least remotely realistic ones. I can imagine a communist Germany but I cannot imagine a communist minister under Hitler. It feels like nonsense to me.

 

[Will Steel]

If factions are moddable, it would be really nice for the amazing Code Geass mod.

That's not what he said.

I asked once podcat about this and he confirmed me that we will be able to mod political factions and add how many we want.

Even the ability to create one in game with diplomacy or only the moding ability?

 

[misterbean]

In the youtuber multiplayer sessions, the Scandinavian countries created a faction called Northern Lights. So it is possible in-game, but I think/hope that only a player could do that in-game.

Through modding ability only.

He spoke about political party. For factions (alliance between countries), they can be created in game (c.f the last thread of podcat where they called the faction between Germany/Poland/Italy the "Payback Time") and the system is moddable too.

 

[Razor]

Very nice. Thanks!

sorry. I misunderstood.

 

[thexmassteam]

Thanks all for your reply. It seems I'll need to have a deeper look on all that was already posted
In fact, maybe I'll not waiting for the *forbidden subject* mod release to buy the game

See, if you do that I will lose all respect for you ... ... ... wait.
