Patch question

[Lothos]

Vulture are you guys going to take all the remaining ideas and bugs and do a HOI2 release in stores like they did with EU2?

Asking cause it has been about a year since the game has been released and obviously you guys can not keep patching a game that is no longer bringing in new cash flow to the project.

EU2 has been out around 2 years and is still being patched (although I suspect the next patch may be the last). There might be an EU3 before there's an HoI2 since HoI supposedly didn't sell very well. There's also plenty of work that can still be done on HoI which can be rolled into an HoI2 later. If/when CORE hits a 1.0 release maybe it could be included if everyone approves.

What is CORE?

Paradox will keep on patching this game even if there was/is/won't be a monetary profit. The EU II patches don't generate cash in any way anymore for example.

Call it... LOVE

It's a community mod. Follow the white rabbit (or just click the links in my sig)

In all fairness EU was successful cause it was very playable on it's initial release.

HOI version 1.0 was not very playable at all. The AI was not good at all and the game was plagued with bugs.

IMO once they roll a few more patches out and get this thing rolling they should do some interface updates perhaps a graphics update and then re-release the game. I am sure the second round will bring in a larger cash flow since the game has improved tremendously.


P.S. Good to hear they will keep patching the game.



One more question is CORE v0.62 meant to work with Paradox 1.05c patch?

There are no plans for a HOI GOLD or such thing... Although I would certainly LIKE it...

Yes, CORE 0.6+ was designed to run on top of 1.05c. See the readme file for the exact patch layering to use.
