By the way during the PDXCON stream, quill asked the dev about hoi4 release date and the dev replied the ideal release date is Q2, but it could be delay if the development does not make it in time. (Does this means the dev was hinting that development progress is not meeting expectation right now?)


I'm kind of worry as the game is still in alpha stage, hope paradox is not pulling too much resources working on other titles. If it gets delay again we may have to see it on 2016.

If i were to guess it will be q3. In that the game has not reached beta yet and we are half way through q1. One can realistically expect a beta for a game such as this to be approxiamtely 4 to 6 months.

If even on the short end of beta and add time to make gold(although gold term is kinda antiquated for todays DL) would be pushing a q2 release if beta started today.

likely we will see beta sometime in the near future then add 6 months before release. My guess august, based on the level of information thus far.
- not currently in beta (well beta for large number users -likely internal limited beta/post alpha)
- 6 month beta
- lots of dd topics left to write on mechanics (monthly to more often as closer to release to create buzz and activity)

Likely prior to september or september but not after as the game would compete with other AAA titles for advertising etc. PDS histerically does not like to release as it moves closer to holiday season.

august. <= you heard it here.

I hope we'll hear something we didn't hear in the stream. I was much more interested in how logistics are suppossed to work.

there are still a few unknowns and potential changes so I dont want to talk details just yet. but the system is mostly working atm and being tested

diary will be proper details on training/deployment etc to flesh out the stuff i went over in stream.

Will this include info about training of air force and navy?

When can we expect increased frequency of DDs?

thx

One thing that was not too clear to me is this:
Training in the "Army planner" screen represents training in barracks. Caps at a certain point.
Training "on-map" represents training in the field, like wargames. Caps at another certain point.

What happens if I stop barracks training, deploy the unit and switch to wargames? Do I carry on training normally? Is there any malus? Would be cool if wargames were more efficient for units that have completed barracks training, but maybe this could be a bit of a mess to put in game.
