Hearts Of Iron IV gets new expansion: Waking the Tiger

[Gurkhal]

Nice to get things about China and stuff, but its the German part I'm buying it for. Finally I'll be able to play Germany and get a grip on this game.

 

[TheDungen]

When I saw the name I first thought it was the Swedish tiger.

 

[Grzegorz Grzybek]

new music and sounds

Great! "Guns, drums and tungsten" confirmed. (couldn't resist too). What new tracks will be available? Which composer?

 

[rohirrimelf]

Link does not work on my pc (last word from the expansion announcement)

 

[Hoxx]

Ahhhhhh...... Time To Strike Back !!!!

 

[J_Master]

Chinese National Focuses: Divided and under threat, China has great reserves of manpower and diplomatic flexibility

So, focuses for China eh? The RoC claimed all the land of the old Qing Dynasty. Tibet, Mongolia....

and Tanu Tuva! TANU TUVA FOCUS TREE CONFIRMED

 

[HeilLoki]

Chain of Command <---- It's a chain with 2 links (Fieldmarshall and Generals)... I'm not sure, I'd call something like that a "chain". Why not just add another layer or do we have to wait another year for that?

Will modders be able to add more depth to this like adding Armies and Corps? With this DLC there's only Theatre and Army Group.

Also: Will you ever look into a real supply system including fuel consumption?

 

[Dakka]

• Volunteer air wings.

The Condor Legion soars again!

 

[Conrad_JD_777]

That trailer looks like we might get an optional historical PRC flag? Pretty please?

The wonderful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are wonderful Things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun

 

[Greyjeth]

Whelp I want this. My first successful HOI4 game was as China, dropped paratroopers on mainland Japan. I cannot wait to see how this will play out

 

[podcat]

I thought those were supposed to be part of the free patch?

They are both a mix if you read the diaries. Some stuff is free some is paid.

 

[Tavior]

Dev Diary too! Don't you feel special https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/hoi-4-dev-diary-nationalist-china.1054824/

Why is that dev diary not posted on the front page of paradox website? It wasn't until I look through this thread that I finally noticed the HoI 4 dev diary today.

Edit: Quoted the wrong post.

 

[Vieras]

• Decisions and Missions: Historical decisions and national missions give your new places to spend Political Power, as you deal with domestic politics or start special projects.

This will in free patch right? I assume that decisions and mission will play a big part in future patches and DLCs and not having them will really break the game in the future.

 

[Captured Joe]

They are both a mix if you read the diaries. Some stuff is free some is paid.

Then why is it written like it's part of the DLC rather than the free update? This looks rather misleading to me!

 

[srfcboy]

So no espionnage mode again or ?

 

[anastiel]

Now, yes, I've been waiting for this for a long time.

Earn Your Stripes in Hearts of Iron IV: Waking the Tiger
STOCKHOLM - 15 November 2017

The Chinese Republic replaced the tottering empire only decades earlier, and is unprepared for its greatest challenge. China is ideologically divided as well, providing an appetizing target for aggressive neighbors. But the Chinese people are resilient and can unite to protect their homeland.

In Hearts of Iron IV: Waking the Tiger, Paradox Development Studio focuses on the Chinese front - the first front of the Second World War. Here, Japan turned its imperialist appetites before the other great powers got involved. New National Focuses dedicated to Nationalist and Communist China guide you through alternate histories that could save or unite the Chinese nation. But under whose guidance?

Hearts of Iron IV: Waking the Tiger will be available soon on major digital distribution channels for the suggested retail price of $19.99 and is available for pre-order now: HERE

Features in Hearts of Iron IV: Waking the Tiger include:

• Chinese National Focuses: Divided and under threat, China has great reserves of manpower and diplomatic flexibility
• Chain of Command: Unite your armies under a field marshal who can take advantage of the many skills of the generals under his direction.
• Decisions and Missions: Historical decisions and national missions give your new places to spend Political Power, as you deal with domestic politics or start special projects.
• General Traits and Abilities: Generals’ traits can now unlock powerful Command Power abilities, allowing great flexibility and creativity.
• Updated Japanese Focus Tree: More attention to the Asian campaign and alternate history paths, including restoring Civilian Government or allying with the feared Soviets.
• Updated German Focus Tree: New possible histories for the German Reich, including the chance to replace Hitler with the exiled Kaiser, or lead a democratic Germany against Stalin.
• Acclimatization: Over time, troops will learn how to survive in the desert or harsh winters, giving these veterans an edge on the battlefield.
• And More: Capturing battlefield equipment, new music and sounds and a revitalized air war system that has room for Volunteer air wings.

As usual, Waking the Tiger will also be accompanied by a free patch - 1.5 Cornflakes.

Since the earliest iteration of Hearts of Iron I tried everytime to build as China or Communist China a proper reunified china, with borders and all, but without a clear support to that, it gave silly result, I'm very happy for this DLC, because maybe I will be able to build a proper China even in mode not single player.

 

[Bacherao]

So Italy is not included in the dlc...will be revamped in a future expansion?
