Non-European Front

[DEY123]

I have only been following HOI4 a bit. I plan to buy it at some point, but my favorite games from HOI3 were playing as Brazil attempting to distract the allies from the european front (after joining the Axis). I'm worried that I will not really be able to play as a non-european / non-US at launch. I would probably have enjoyed playing japan or China as well but I heard they were a bit buggy (or naval was).

Based on what people have seen in videos and such how fleshed out does HOI4 look like it will be for the non-European front?

Thanks!!!

The generic focus tree looks like you'll get way more options than what you did in HOI3 and the less scripting is good for regional's or minor's.

You should have massive potential as Brazil - a huge resource pool, weak neighbors, a distracted USA (once they get involved in WW2) and a very flexible National Focus tree. It's not going to be comparable to previous HoI games.

A player always have huge advantages over the ai, you can see this in the Hungary stream. However the ai can still be dangerous as the major countries can still brute force a victory against you.

What China/naval bugs were you told about? I don't recall seeing any problems in the Japan www stream but if they were there they are probably going to be fixed by launch.

Sorry for confusion on china/japan. I meant that it did not play well in hoi3 (rumor that kept me from trying it in hoi3)
