Hearts Of Iron IV gets new expansion: Waking the Tiger

[Shiwaz]

Question.
I've bought on release date of HoI4 the Field Marshal Edition. Is in this Edition this Expansion/Upgrade included, or i have to buy this anyway?
i will do if it's not and preorder, but i don't want preorder it and i would be in the field marshal Edition.

From BjornB in the FAQ regarding season passes:
UPDATE 15/11-2017
With the announcement of Waking the Tiger we are also happy to let you know that Expansion Pass owners will be receiving a fourth, still unannounced expansion of approximately the same size as Waking the Tiger. This will mean the originally promised two expansions is now increased to four.


Since the field marshal edition includes the season pass, you dont need to buy it (again).

EDIT: Neither will you need to buy the expansion coming after Waking the Tiger

I only want to fix the fuel competition lack, there's no reasonable game play thought actually. Fuel supply implemented as special equipment build in factories (a refinery is a factory) solve the problem if it's implemented for all units, land, ship and planes( could work on airwing group, is the same)
All the new improvement are great, but game needs the fuel fix, possible by a genetic way to implement coal or fuel.
Also the old attached brigades for naval units from hoi 2 world be good implementation. I don't want the naval warfare must be complex as rule the waves game, and ai and combats are the most interesting off all the hoi history but needs apimpup with fuel, same as airwings. This was several times implanted in some mods for land units with impressive positive results!!!

Developers! add visible PING to the multiplayer servers next to the player's names.
People often leave servers because of the bad connection that creates a very slow game speed. just add the usual ping icon that MOST of the games have. This will help a lot to everyone. Thank you!

Did Any one see a release date. I hope the fix for airborne supplies is in the regular patch and not in the paid dlc. Because. You would have expected as a loyal Hoi player since HoiII that airborne supplies was in the game. Then you have the game,you can airborne attack and land but soon be killed because out of supplies. So airborne was only elite commando infantries? Bad choice and I am a huge consumere of Paradox tittle. So i hope the repair the game mechanics with out extra cost for player/consumers. I do not mind ater a while maybe pay for the dlc if good. Primaire gamemechanics which could expected from previous tittle must be for free otherwise it was and is a big scam.

Then i start playing again. I am a airborne lover. I complained too, airborne was missing in SD44, that also not fixed '-) Why o why paradox does not love anymore airborne assualt. THe mess of market garden was the greates thing for the dutch player to look forward.

sadly you should buy complete dlc, many people dislike thougether to the victory but the advance to solve many problem related to logistic (still have many but some as the emulation of local stocks using a pupet) were reals needed. the dlc system they actualy use is a quiet complex becose they force to update all dlc as they have made with eu iv. Probable problem here is that posible original realise was too early, and you have the game with many problem. I think with disonor yes the game reach a point where is playable but with strong objetions as lack of fuel system. Yes is a major change needed.

Very nice, does this focus on just China or does it do both chinas?
Also, You should get the option to do a communist germany aswell, I also believe that nations in asia part of the comintern should be focused on some time, or maybe south america. Some places on earth aren't very interesting when it comes to world war II.

Both Chinas, all the warlords and Manchukuo, plus a Japan rework.

So is this coming in 2017 at all...?

I mean it would be nice if we got a ballpark date, as in "Q1 2018" or whatever... or even just the year of release?
'Tis the Season. Got to plan gift-giving and this "Coming Soon!!!" nonsense isn't helpful. I'm sure a lot of other players will have had the same problem. Its no good giving someone a pre-purchase for whenever the heck something is coming out...

Another thread sets forth very convincing evidence it likely won't be available until February. Might as well call it Springtime for Hitler and Germany.

in one of the videos they said 4 mounths... later februry.

 

[Pyro157]

February 2018, I guess. It's good, 'cause it's Chinese New Year, which means red packets full of money, awesome food, happiness, families getting to see their kids for the first time in a year, etc.

Oh, and people do go out and get smashed too. There's not much difference between New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year on some days.

Besides, Paradox is possibly trying to give all nations, those present and releasable, decisions they can make somehow. And with all the new mechanics, they'll need more time. I'm content with waiting.

Oh well... good to know. Thanks, guys.

 

[Pyro157]

Oh well... good to know. Thanks, guys.

There's probably gonna be a generic decisions tree for minor nations.

 

[Madae]

Perhaps I'm the only one, but China was one of my favorite games and I just like the default focus tree. Very straightforward and the same for everyone. Gonna miss it. Not a huge fan of specific focus trees, because finding a good path that doesn't lock you out of other things or whatever can take a lot of time to learn.

 

[HauptmannHans]

The hype is definetly real for me and many others so it's too bad we could be seeing it as late as February. Still if they're saying it's going to take this long then there must be something good waiting for us

My body is ready for more China.

or lead a democratic Germany against Stalin.

Does it have to be a democratic Germany?

You can also bring back Kaiser Wilhelm if you get rid of Hitler
