HOI4 Dev Diary - 5th Anniversary

[General Von Trapp]

I hope on a Italy DLC will be its music pack with Marcia Reale, to reference the Italian monarchy

By the time Italy comes out we will all be playing HOI5!

Can you add « On ira pendre notre linge sur la ligne Siegfried/We’re gonna hang out the washing on the Siegfried line » in a future audio pack? It’s a famous 1939 French/British song!

I think they should include some marching songs from the Germans but I can understand why they do not want the nazi songs also People do not think of communism as negatively even tho they should

Personally I like what they've typically done - compose new songs that have musical themes that sound like they're from the time period and are immersive, but not actual historical songs. Then again, if the songs in the game are historical songs, I'm just ignorant and should be quiet lol.

looks great! I might have missed it but is there a bug fix for the Ulemas focus bug this patch or do I need to wait till 1.11?

 

[Easterling]

- added Kurdish, Ukrainian, Georgian, Armenian namelists

Love it, thank you guys! Can you please add it for Azerbaijan as well? They are the only one left out in the USSR I think.
Also curious, Battle of Bosporus added an Azerbaijani general (Hazi Aslanov) that can be recruited by Turkey, if Turks go Soviet way. Since the assets already exist, can you add him to releasable Azerbaijan as well please?

Is missing Italian Generic General Portrait #4 fixed?

They need to update the anniversary portrait version of the portraits file to tell the game to stop using his portrait.

He was based off Bert Reed, a commonwealth soldier who fought against the Italians. The bug started happening after they recolored his portrait and moved him to commonwealth where he belongs. It's an irritating bug because when I roll a portrait-less general it keeps making me think I forgot to assign one.

Overall though these bugfixes are fantastic. Lots of "big" bugs like the AI naval production bug and the broken convoy naval battle reports.

It is possible that one day we could have flavor packages like these that introduce batantes more commanders or historical advisers like the game some great assumptions claim for example, Von Reichenau, Dietl, Nagumo, Kurybasahi, Roatta etc ...


Also some day we could have skins and art specific to transport aircraft for the great powers such as the mythical German Ju 52, North American DC Douglas and stop using generic art please

 

[opsircrocodile]

Just means we focused on those bugs

ahhhh, understandable, I understood that wrong haha, thanks for clarifying hehe
still the bugfixes and improvements are really great, lesgo

Problem with music packs is that I already have my own pack with dozens of hours of music for both Ger and USSR.
I'll buy anyways

Also

- Turkey should now join the allies in late 1943 or early 1944

why?

Can you do something with the "Befriend Turkey" focus of Germany? With Bftb, doing this focus is a waste of time because of the neutrality modifier. I suggest that doing this focus should force Turkey to follow the join the Axis path.

I agree. There should be some kind of tug of war between the Allies and Germany for Turkey. Something similar to the decision both of them get over Netherlands.

 

[kimidf]

It is possible one day to revise the art and skins of the vehicles and air force of both the Chinese Communist and the Nationalist to reflect the Soviet influence in the Chinese Communist models and the Western influence (German and North American) in the case of the chinese nationalists

Have the coring bugs for the ottoman empire been fixed?

 

[Hoi Neuling]

Nice as a final Patch and Upgrades for the 1.10-Version and all previous DLC‘s. That’s really an surprise.

With that the final Time up to the first big Refit of the Base-Game (1.11 incl. NSB and MTG) can be straddling very easy.

 

[kimidf]

t is possible one day could include in some package music as mythical as Erika, Katyusha or Sacred war

 

[Sir.Dr.X]

Which version of the USSR hymn did you add? Currently, a later version of Khrushchev is generally available, but it has nothing to do with the game's climate. This is where the first original version should appear, before Khrushchev's censorship, that is, with the verse "Stalin brought us up to be faithful to the people to great hardships and works". This verse was changed in a later Khrushchev version to remove the reference to Stalin from the anthem.

Time to start an Ethiopia campaign then!

Problem is: There are no jungles in Burma or India. They're all forests.

I don't understand the point you are making. The Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary says a jungle is:

"an area of tropical forest where trees and plants grow very thickly"

This seems to describe large parts of Burma and India.

I looked up "jungle" on Wikipedia and found:

Are you implying that the game should use "rainforest" rather than "jungle"? That seem anachronistic for a game set in the 1930s and 1940s and the game's meaning is still within the common meaning of "jungle". But maybe there is some aspect that I've missed.

If we talking about fixing bugs:
-If you controlling states in Greece and you are in one fraction with Bulgaria and Germany, everytime Germany gives Bulgaria yours states in Greece, it happens even when Bulgaria and Germany are yours puppets and also when you have cores on that states
- there is problem with white peace in Chine-Japan war, in theory Korea becomes independent but there is a bug which gives you wieird kind of control over Korean states (still Korea exist as separate state). You can bulid in Korea, you have resistance there but you don't get factories and yours army cant enter Korea, also Korea is not your puppet in this time, so you get same control over korean territory when Korea exist as independent country. It happens everytime in my gameplay. You can't also justifay war on Korea becouse it has no control over any teritorry.

- and bug in polish translation. State "Southern Serbia" in named "Syberia południowa" ("syberia" means in polish "siberia") instead "Serbia południowa"

The best place to report bugs is in the bug report forum. At least the Korea bug has already been reported a couple of times. If you'd like to see it fixed, I recommend upvoting the bug using the arrow in the top right hand corner:

@podcat hoi 4 should load with seven nation army track playing.

 

[BrotherJonathan]

Cool plane models and music. Bug fixes are always good, especially the naval production bug (I think I remember a few months ago one person on here got so irate over it that he was in all seriousness threatening to sue Paradox or file fraud charges if it didn't get fixed).
