Hearts of Iron IV - Beginner Tutorial - Construction

[OHgamer]

you probably still can not understand the essence of such an economy in the game, build a bunch of factories to make units make it live mini map and not craft a global strategy lost the whole essence of the game of global

You would be better to play Victoria2 then, since it does have a much, much deeper economy that funds military intervention. That is not the kind of game HoI is, however, and it never has been. HoI is about war and military strategy, and thus the economy has always been more streamlined.

I could not imagine trying to run an economy as complex as one from Victoria with the military detail of HoI. Most gamers I think would burn out trying to keep all the plates spinning without crashing horribly to earth.

Please, implement drag and drop for priority queues! Moving items up and down the queue via arrow buttons is tedious as hell.

Thanks, BjornB, I'm enjoying these and it makes the wait just a little easier to handle... Okay, I lied, it makes it even harder to wait for this release but I really do appreciate you guys doing these! Keep it up.

My guess is either Perthshire given his accent, or the way he rolls his R's may betray that he is indeed from the Kingdom. Definitely not Aberdeen, Highlands or West coast way.

Edit: On a second listen that is a posh Edinburgh Accent. So I guess that is in the Lothian province?

Pretty sure he mentioned he was originally from Inverness but he might have been living in Fife recently before going to Sweden.

Also interesting decision to put Fife inside of Lothian because it's really not Lothian, a massive river seperates both regions. Fife could have existed as a seperate region it's big enough and it's called "The Kingdom of Fife" for a reason... plus a lot of the British warships were built in Rosyth which is in Fife and not Lothian.

Why not rename it to Lothian & Fife? Which is a common thing to say in Scotland.

So hyped for this game

I like how much effort you're putting into teaching this game to new players. Both the tutorial that starts with the bare-bone basics such as how to pan the map, and these nice videos that go more in-depth about core concepts. Very nice .

You're absolutely right. I can match neither your intellectual nor linguistic skills - very few could - so I'll save my carrots and blow the dust off my ignore button.

He really shouldn't diss a bartering economy. There are stories about people who started off with a pencil and traded their way up to cars or houses.

That is an excellent suggestion!

Why don't the Russian's advance when you fall back? 10/22 to 11/7 and they hardly moved up at all to the defensive line you established.

Is the AI disabled or handicapped for the tutorial?

 

[Sarge 1942]

This will definitely help out! Just can't wait for June 6th!!!!

Do all your 150 or 155 or whatever it is daily contstruction points go towards one project at a time, or can you split it to different projects at one go?

 

[Axe99]

A great little vid, top stuff Team PDS (and great rolling of those R's DDRJake ). Reckon they're great introductions to specific topics, and a top idea.

Speaking of top ideas, +1 to:

Still doesn't make it any less fun seeing the seven-nation army trying to take you down flop miserably because you control the most of the world's Sulfur mines

Wait, do rocket sites where built determine where they can be launched from or do they build rockets you can rebase ala HOI3?

 

[SopwithRice]

Cool beanz.

At the 1:55 mark of the video, the narrator claims, "Oil refineries will produce oil and rubber in that state..."

Is that accurate? Refineries PRODUCE oil rather than consume it?
A country without access to oil deposits can increase its oil production merely by building refineries (not wells, not off-shore platforms)?

This is my third asking of these questions--once in Steam forums, once in an Oil/Production Mega-Thread here, and now in this thread. I do apologize for spamming my questions. I'll be perfectly happy with a single answer.

That was referring to synthetic refineries, that produced oil from alternative sources like coal.

Thanks.
