HoI4 Dev Teasers (previously Podcat's Twitter Teasers)

There could also be pre-fabricated operations where the AI computes key targets for you and paths for units (armored divisions prioritize moving through plains, while mountaineers move through hills and mountains); thus the player will only have to train and add units and equipment to the pre-fabricated operations. It could help streamline wars for new players or players who don't want to micromanage too much.

Hoping for named operations, with deeper operational gameplay. Like building up supplies, setting objectives and time limits, and so on.

Maybe attack orders from fallbacklines?

Missing the "Live TV Ratings %" display.

That'll be in the DLC...

That would be awesome, but looks like a change so ambitious that it would be more suited to Hoi5. But who knows

Not a coder myself, but it sounds as simple as "If x amount of time has passed, cancel attack order." Building up supplies already has a basis in the "supply grace" mechanic, so the foundation is there. As for named operations, they were in HOI3 and Vicky, so that should be easy.

I believe in the team!

Giving names to your battle plans would be utterly useless, nobody would waste time naming a line you drew. It must be something else.

don't know it would be such a small feature some people would enjoy, its like choosing these historical division names or naming tanks, armies, etc. I don't spend time on these things, but some people enjoy them.

So is naming divisions, but it's there because it's both historically accurate and enjoyable for plenty of people.

Hey. Digging through the SteamDB, I noticed an unknown dlc for HoI4. It's called the Project Avalanche. Avalanche was the code name for an Allied landing operation in mainland Italy. So...

Maybe they planing new DLC and added it because of alpha testing or something like that but it's kinda to early for another DLC when they didn't stop patching last one. Maybe small update just for Italy?

Hey. Digging through the SteamDB, I noticed an unknown dlc for HoI4. It's called the Project Avalanche.

This, combined with the parade ground with the "Fall in!" order, all but confirms the next DLC will be a Final Fantasy VII total conversion.

(In the impossible event it isn't FFVII, my first thought upon hearing 'Avalanche' was the snowy Nordic countries. Then again I think the community would riot if Italy wasn't the next DLC)

Oh my, either it refers to Nordic Countrypack or Italy Rework-Mechanic with Austria and Ethiopia DLC. Either way, it's appreciated. Surprise me!

Spoiler: My main guess

But most likely it would be Nordic Countrypack, after all it's only took 6 weeks for the devdiaries to talk about Battle for the Bosporus before its release. So i expect a May-September release with the regarding devdiary talks begin in April-July. Hope we can fix the longstanding bugs and enhances Barbarossa more by March.

GO DEVS!!!

Yeah, i believe there is a far greater chance for the devs to release a country pack for the nordics first, without any additional mechanics (except some tweaking for Finland), while the larger task of reworking Italy, air, diplomacy and countless other possiblities, is being planned in the background through all of this.

And by the way, i really hope Belgium gets some love alongside Italy and Austria (and Ethiopia) as i don't see them in any other DLC, and the Rexists and Verdinaso in Belgium would mechanically fit being alongside the Austrian Ständestaat and Italian Fascism.

Agreed. I suspect that they'll plan the Nordic Country Pack with the Italy DLC in mind, as diplomacy could tie really well into a Sweden and Norway tree.

If it, Beligium, doesn't get in here, its odds of being placed with Ireland and Switzerland would go up exponentially.

I actually think that Italy is more likely then a Scandic pack as the later still requires some mechanics while Italy does not. That means we may get even more Finnish riots, but that's hard to avoid as it's primarily Finland that needs those mechanics that are missing.

However Italy will come with a proper DLC (air/political rework) and a country pack usually doesn't.

 

[Krey_Lollipop]

Couldn't diplomacy already be in the works on a separate branch? Aside from the Berlin-airlift (which falls just outside the scope of the game) I can't see why diplomacy would be dependent on things like supply and ground-combat. Yeah they would tie in together for things like embargoes possibly, but there definitely are ways to implement those without knowing the exact implementation of the supply. Whether or not that's desireable is another question though, as I'm sure some would find it far too "arcadey" if resources could just magically teleport through a country.

Wow, but don't be high. Possible there will be a county pack. Iran need much care, Germany it's getting much oil from Iran.

I want to see how they will make operation torch, while la resisstence make North Africa neutral as vichy is not at war

do you think today we'll get some diary type from after the game director released that image last friday or when
Do you think the development diaries will return on a regular basis
