I wouldn't take this as a farewell to this game.

I recently purchased HOI4 and I have to say, the dedication you put into DH's authenticity is nothing short of amazing. You actually worked on what was built on previously and improved it beyond recognition.

From this stand point, I'm not sure what the devs of HOI4 thought they were doing. No Manchukuo, not even a picture of my favourite warlord, sheng shicai...

You're still the best.

On another note, so far HOI4 is pretty shocking.

You can't even release puppets.

Never buy something upon release; you wait a bit, then you read user reviews, and FINALLY, if satisfied, you buy it.

I havent bought a new game since Empire Total War made its way like a virus onto my PC.

I fell for the HoI4 trap, let my curiosity get the better of me despite my reservations. I should have known better.

Already firing up some DH. All is well.

It's a shame because the only problem with DH was the limits of the engine. A free flowing AI and greater political choice would have gutted HOI4 - they were the only reasons I bought the game.

Combat, command structures and narrative are absolutely superior in DH. World war 2 plays like a dream, only leaving me wanting for more excitement after 1945.

Planning to get DH instead of HOI4 saving me some money and getting a better game

If you have windows 8 + then make sure you take a look at the stickied thread. It's not a particularly hard fix.

I also want to thank them but i think it is inevitable that a large part of the community moves to the HOI4 so I think that we need a new version to keep the interest alive.
Will there be an 1.05 patch in DH's future?

False as fork. I played a friend's HOI3 and didnt like it, certainly wont play HOI4 after the horrible things ive read in their friggin official forum. If anything, more people are going to come here looking for a better experience.

Are you sure ? The Kaiserreich team, for example, is working on a new HOI4 version.
And also this is just my opinion ok?

I'm not really sure HOI4 is going to be right for them in all honestly. They couldn't implement Manchukuo because of "AI issues" - it doesn't look good to me.

They've had a long time to work on this game, even delayed it, and while the basic function is there, evidently the engine isn't very robust.

I'd urge anyone who doesn't have DH who has $10 to give them a swing. I'm 100% satisfied with this game in a way AAA devs have not satisfied what I hope for in the game they pitch. This game has for a WWII strategy game what most top titles lack even with a year's worth of an active modding community (if they even let them do it).

As to the notion of a 1.05 patch, I'd gladly show my support for the team in buying a DLC expansion to give them the means to improve and make the kinds of changes to the game they'd like to make. I've bought a couple copies for my friends at the 9.99 on steam (mine is the good old GG version) and all four of them who own this title are satisfied with the game they got, rare as a couple of them are wannabe game-critics.

The WWI 1914 scenario alone gives this game a completely additional gameplay element.... maybe opportunity to add a 1917/Nov 1918 scenario with a crumbling Germany giving players the option to take the reins of a Ukraine lifted of German influence to fend of the Soviets, or a Greek-Turkey War, even Push forward as the Red Army into Europe as the Poles denied them in the Soviet-Poland War of 1918-1921. I'd love to be able to take a swing at those challenges fleshed out by the dev team.

I too would be willling to part money for further additions to this game. And I think after this launch we will see more people returning

The big question is, would Martin and the dev team have TIME from their full time jobs to do so? We would have to make it worth their (and Paradox's) while...i.e. multiple thousands of dollars. Aside from that, would Paradox allow a DLC business model for DH?

HOI IV made me reinstall DH and HOI3 again.

Back to the good days!!

Same. Sad to say I held off in anticipation, but in the end I feel glad I have this.
