I want Heart of Iron II: Dark Iron Arsenal!

[unmerged(189717)]

I've played DH for some time (not much, I have many other things to do) and must say I like it. It needs to be polished in certain areas but from what I've seen, it's great.

But as much as I adore the looks of the DH map, I miss IC's additional provinces. The extended map might be the only thing I like about IC (and even needs improvement), but in comparison, DH's provinces seem oversized.
I miss AoD's national ideas and some other AoD stuff too.

I'm sure I will enjoy DH, but it will give me the feeling that it could have easily been better. Any plans for an AoD/DH fusion with an extended map? I would pay you 50 $ straight for that. Honestly.

I gave HOI3 boxed version 60 bucks in its release. I would give AoD + DH feature combination, 1933 start of IC and DH map 60 bucks without thinking.

It doesn't seem like it would be very difficult to merge them all together. More of a trial of wills, I think.

 

[Pioniere]

Maybe that would be the finale end product a hearts of iron legacy with all 3 in one game.
So fare all three has something the other have not some sort of "competition".

 

[kunadam]

But that will be called HoI4

It's sad really. All have ideas worth merit. It's unfortunate that the community has been fragmented in this way - while it's understandable that each team wants to take a different direction with the product, I think that collaboration would really help rather than hinder the creation of a truly phenomenal product.

I posted in a similar thread but it appears to have been deleted. Is it possible to only use the map from Iron Cross and no other features? Is it just a matter of deleting the map folder from DH and replacing it with the Iron Cross map folder?

I cant see it being that simple, unless there is some program that merges the features from the games.

Each province has to be assigned an owner/controller/national province status. Then each unit is assigned to a province. These details are placed in each nation's INC file respectively.

No.

There would be hundreds if not thousands of unassigned provinces, events that handle territorial transfers would not work properly, and the AI wouldn't know what the hell was going on.

Assuming the game even loaded up in the first place.

Oh well. I'll wait until Iron Cross is fully compatible with DH before purchasing the latter. I can't bear playing with the old, enormous provinces. Iron Cross and AoD is a complete mess at the moment, so no doubt it'll be a good while before it's working correctly with DH.

IC is fully compatible with Darkest Hour with their latest revision (Revision 5, check IC forum).

Well, the Iron Cross team reassured me that IC was completely compatible with AoD. After spending much time preparing for war (and this is particularly prolonged because of the 1933 start) there were so many glaring errors (the British AI only defending the British Isles, bizarre production AI, events crippling the AI and the player ((the notorious "failed barborossa" and "limited resources" events)) that I frustratingly quit after defeating the USSR in 2 weeks. So, I think I'll give it a couple of weeks.

I am not involved in Iron Cross so I cannot tell much except maybe to ask them directly.

Yeah, sorry. I'm not attempting to ward people off purchasing DH. I'm just reporting my experiences with IC and AoD, which I suspect might for the time being be the same as IC and DH.

 

[Fernando Torres]

We assisted IC team for 2-3 months with their "conversion" to DH so it should be rather polished.
AFAIK, those who tried IC+DH found out it worked fine.

I played WWI as Austria-Hungary yesterday. It was great, but I really missed the advanced sliders.

 

[Easy1]

I want it bad too. There are many aspects I miss from AOD

 

[unmerged(188157)]

Same here, it would be amazing if you can add the sliders as well as the espionage system the public orientation. I liked the economy system (with the money sliders) also much more than the original system. And the unit supply stuff like in AOD was also sortof better.

However you did an great job there. The event system rocks as well as the new map!
