HoI4 Dev Teasers (previously Podcat's Twitter Teasers)

[DawramBashere]

The Devs stated before, that the Soviets will not be reworked with this DLC. Because the want to build the USSR rework ontop of the mechanics implemented in this DLC.

Bad. I guess I'll have to wait for the next DLC before playing then. Anyway reworked Spain is great news

 

[lolciokuba]

I enjoyed bringing Carlist into power in Vicky 2 will also try to make it happen in Hoi4! Spain was definitely long overdue, and like other mentions so many possibilities in that theatre. Wonder if Portugal Focus Tree will included as well

ROVS should be represented

 

[LiberiusX]

They’ve already dropped hints that this DLC will be focused on the Romance countries in Western and Southern Europe. Expect to see Mussolini, Petain and Franco forming the Third Triumvirate, and battling for control of the new Roman empire after Hitler and Stalin have been defeated.

I would like to see Ireland too.

In kaiserreich is really fun

I'm glad to see Spain get a tree, but I still await a Finnish one. I think it's a great crime against the theme of the game to not represent a country that, at least militarily, accomplished more in WW2 in mere months than the great powers of France and Italy combined did in 6 years (no offense to any French and Italians here, IMO both are great countries with rich histories, they just didn't perform very well in WW2).

Finland in WW2 should and could have been represented in the game since release, even if in just a relatively simple capacity. Many mods have more than proven this possible. Yet over three years later, the Winter War is in the vanilla game in name only, and the Continuation War of 1941-44, which btw is the largest conflict in Nordic history, and the Lapland War of 1944-45, are not in the game in any capacity, not even nominal. This is inexcusable for a product that markets itself as a WW2 grand strategy game.

I don't mean to derail the discussion from Spain, but this is something worth reminding PDX of from time to time.

If I had a Euro for every time I heard "my country needs a focus tree, they did amazing things yaddayaddayadda"...

True but, Spain and Finland both need a focus tree for gameplay reasons. Same goes for Turkey

Sweden uses Central European Time, so yes

No I saw the "historical documents" last PDXCON where Poland survived and inflicted over a million casualties to the German Army in the process!

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Not a clue

 

[Alex_brunius]

Militarily it was completely possible (and in fact advocated by certain generals) to go on the offensive and recapture the positions lost in June 1944, and then hold out to the next spring in hopes for better peace terms.

Now this is equally funny as Hitler in his bunker in 1945 thinking that Steiners counterattack with panzer divisions that don't exist could actually save Berlin and turn around the war

They won as in they got to keep their independence.

Just like UK lost WW2 because the reason they went to war was to protect Polish independence, which was not achieved.

Nationalists in a nutshell.

Finland only "did not fall" because of diplomatic pressure from the Allies and Axis as the country was slowly nearing its limits fighting a much larger enemy. Besides, Soviets merely wanted the area around Leningrad, not to take the whole country.

that made me chuckle good one mate.

 

[NormieCamo]

It is amazing how effective Soviet propaganda still is even almost a century later.

 

[Had a dad]

Finnish derail moved to its own thread

 

[Shinkuro Yukinari]

Given that Republican Spain is revealed this week, should we expect Podcat to tease us?

 

[Captured Joe]

Maybe they'll lift a tip of the curtain on their focus tree, who knows.
