I didn't know where to post this, but I have a couple of quick questions.

Arsenal of Democracy is a new standalone game?

Are the features of Arsenal of Democracy going to be compatible with v1.3 of HoI 3? or is this an updated Hearts of Iron 2?

Isn't it yes, no and no

AoD is a new standalone game; it will not be compatable with HoI3 as they are based on different game engines and although AoD is based on HoI2 it is not an expansion of HoI2, such as Armageddon, but a new, standalone game.

Just to confuse matters, popular HoI2 mods should however remain compatible with AoD

Arsenal of Democracy is a new standalone game based on the same Europa engine that was used for HoI2. The engine has been modified in several ways (explained to some degree in the Dev.Diaries in this forum), but it still uses the same specifications for its data files (all the moddable bits) as HoI2, so HoI2 files (including mods) should work with AoD, but... We have added various new things that can go into these files (and put some into the default file set that comes with the game), so if you do use the HoI2 file sets you will not get the benefit of everything that we have added in AoD, and the AoD default dataset (as well as mods made specifically for AoD) won't work with HoI2.

Clear? :)
