Hearts of Iron IV - Development Diary 58 - Tutorial, Wiki & Browser

[Gatkramp]

Good to see you guys are taking the steep learning curve of the genre seriously. I forget sometimes how foreign your games seem to people who haven't been playing them for the better part of a decade.

Hopefully we also see some good country guides added to the wiki by the players.

the game ships with an offline version of the wiki as well you can decide to use instead.

If it's an offline version, and there forth not the online one. Is Paradox going to continue to update the in game one? Also does that mean that both wikis might contain different info sometimes?

"You will be taking charge of Italy [in this tutorial]."

But it doesn't even mention the most important control: "Press S to switch sides!"

took wednesday the 8th off work so I get 6th evening and 7-8th to get into the game.

 

[Nefarioz]

Splendid! Can't wait for the release!

 

[adil3tr]

I've edited the wiki. Does that mean I'm featured in the game?

 

[ViriathusTG]

I hope that, that in-game wiki works better than the Total War: Shogun 2 one

 

[CaptainCC]

At what time (CEST), on Monday the 6th, will the game be available for download?

Great DD!

 

[scopman]

Very nice! Quite an improvement for players that couldn't get into HOI3 and had to start EU4 with Castilla.

I only hope the tutorial is updated when the expansions add new mechanics.

Clearly the most important feature in the game by far.

Thats why the full national focus trees in the Wiki would be nice to have...

 

[dark devil]

Please, try to subtitle those videos. I suppose they will be in english.

 

[Paralyz]

I probably would have used the tutorial for this game if it wasn't for the fact I've watched every World War Wednesday up to this point and feel I can play the game already. XD

We are on Daniel level already

Cheers for the DD Podcat . That tutorial looks great, a huge step up from HoI3 . I've used the in-game browser to get to the wiki in Stellaris as well, and it's a great way of doing things - great work . Big props for the offline version as well.

See you guys next friday when we'll do the last diary before release!

Good luck for the last week prior to release, all the best to you, the team and the betas, am looking forward to playing the product of all your hard work .

What Paradox games have been lacking is a good tutorial, hope it will be the first.

Ugh, panning with scroll suxxors

Ugh, panning with scroll suxxors

When do you ever pan in Paradox games anyways? I just use WASD to move around.

 

[SchwarzKatze]

Can you sync the local wiki with the web one?

 

[PK_AZ]

Yay, Paradoxpaedia!
