New Political Screenshot

[bestmajor]

Hitler was no KC holder. the KC was founded on 1st of September 39.

EDIT

Hitler wearing a Knights Cross, REALLY kills it for me. I enjoy the game for its gameplay as well as its look/feel. I can only hope this is a "pre-alpha" screenshot. Still surprised this obvious mistake got through.

yeah, it looks a bit shitty indeed :rofl:

 

[lemonsquid]

looks nice, i feel like this new hoi will make other nations like spain/hungary/romania very viable options now

 

[DarkCruor]

I like how they did the regions. The EvW regions were pretty interesting and I'd like to see myself what the system does.

While I am a huge HoI3 fanboy I really didn't like its region system.

 

[Mannstien]

Looks like he's trying to remilitarize the Rhineland. You know who else remilitarized the Rhineland?

J. Caesar?

Take it as the old version of the Iron Cross, received during the great war.

The Knights Cross was the replacement for the Blue Max. The Iron Cross was not that large or worn around the neck.

The guy certainly never won that one, either.

Maybe he borrowed Göring's Pour La Mérite because his Iron Cross was at the Berghoff

Didn't Hitler wear a cross like that on his pocket? Hardly the huge necklace, but still.

Yes, but that was his actual Iron Cross that he earned in WWI.
What he is seen wearing in the screenshot, is one he never earned, or owned (one of the greatest military medals in Germany at the time). Had he tried, I think even Keitel would have been jumping up and down.

Why not put one on top of his Hat??

How does it help things to have so unhistorical images? Does that image sell more games??? Does it make a better picture? I get making images of general standing together who never met. Why give medals to people who never had them?

Aren't you taking this a bit personal, perhaps? It's an artist's rendition. His mistake has been duly pointed out to him by now. Relax, and let it go.

'Cause they can't show swastikas, and various forms of the Iron Cross tend to be used as shorthand.

So player/ai has more time to react to invasion. It needs to be this wide to fit in enough provinces, and provinces need to be a certain size to fit in ships.

This... this sounds so crazy. No offence, but maybe you should move Japan too?
(please stop this madness and make English Channel normal again).

Thank You!

EDIT: And Adolf with Knight Cross looks just s... silly

It is a game. Functional considerations should outweight geographical accury on those occasions when the two conflict, or do you also object to map inserts that show an enlarged version of small places like Gibralter?

I See, but I talk about the shape\appearance.

 

[Wulf145]

It's well known the Leader wore a tie. Not sure why there is an Iron Cross in the middle.

AFAIK Hitler never won, or awarded himself, the Knights Cross - but he did wear his Iron Cross which he won in WW1.

 

[TheRomanRuler]

Looks like party support means how much people want X party to be in power, rather than what is their all time favourite party. Makes sense.

And if you google "knights cross" and then "iron cross" (hint, put "German" in front of them so you find easier) you see they look almost identical. (they have swastika so i don`t post here)

Anyone else thinking political map mode seems very shallow ?

 

[safe-keeper]

If it needs to have that many sea zones for gameplay purposes, it needs to have that many sea zones. Better to actually have the space for all of them than to have tiny, cramped sea zones and not be able to tell what's going on.

 

[scroggin]

He received his first Iron Cross in 1914. But yes he was too "modest" to wear it in public.

I Understand that hitler didn't like to make a fuss about his Iron cross because it was a jewish officer that awarded it to him
