Hearts of Iron IV - Development Diary 57 - Poland: United and Ready

[henzington]

Love the first of the minor trees. Can't wait to see who is next. If i was a betting man i would say Spain but i could see China as they actually fought from 37-45 and the civil war before and after took place right up until the end of the game period.

Nice!

Daym, 2d icons of the tree is amazing, as well as the tree itself

 

[apocolyptictodd]

Poland is finally stronk

@podcat Which tanks will have the unique 3d art? TKS and 7-TP?

TKS, 7TP and 10TP

Out of curiosity, will this work like a normal "DLC" that happens to be free (ie will appear on Steam Store and you get the option in the launcher to play with or without the DLC) or it will work like free content on a patch (automatically added to the game)?

yeah it will be in launcher so you can turn it off or on

This really makes me want to try Poland as my first game.

Moments like this are something special for me I'm very proud to be Polish's citizen All the best for Paradox Team. You've proved that Europe remember about Polish Nation and what means for us World War II

 

[Tosiek]

Maybe "Husarz" will be more appropriate than "Huzar"?

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Can't one of the devs make 2D naval icons for the majors? I understand there being a generic set for everyone to share, like with tanks and planes, but all the majors get unique tank and plane icons. It's a real shame to ignore the navy.

 

[Cate de Gabber]

So that's what this was.

 

[Guloo]

Great job guys!
I shall enjoy playing my country of origin in HOI4 - of course on Axis side!

Who actually will play as Poland?

Germans

Apart from the Poles, plenty of whom are dedicated history rewriters, I would bet on the second wave playthroughs. After everybody will have completed their big campaigns as III Reich, USSR, USA, China, Japan and UK and mastered the game mechanics, something challenging will be looked for, and that is where Polish campaign with its unique foci and units fits into before fully generic countries.

That's excellent, I love you Paradox! Anyway, can we get that "United and Ready" as wallpaper? Thanks in advance!

In 1936 Poland is in a very interesting position. You can easily perform better than historically. At that time Poland had the 4th biggest land army in Europe (but what can you do, when you are attacked by the 2 biggest armies at one time).

 

[sermaciej]

called the Between the Seas Concept

Could you rename it to "Intermarium", please?

Jan Sobieski.

Could you rename it into "Jan III Sobieski", please? Poles usually use the full name, with his number, not just "Jan Sobieski", at least when they are referring to his reign and not to his duty as commander of army, before he was a king.

Also, could you rename "Huzar" to "Husarz"? The second one is more famous polish cavalry, while the first one isn't actually polish.
