Scenarios

I may have not seen any confirmation on this because you need to watch these forums like a hawk to catch these kind of things. Now I love scenarios and I played all of them as both sides and I loved the "Desert Fox" scenario. But will Hearts of Iron 4 have scenarios? The OOB thing may be a problem but that can be overcome.

The devs have said they're not in the plan (so deffo not at launch). I was a fan of the scenarios as well, so hope they crop up at some stage.

I wonder maybe if a mod will be released or a DLC (please not $15) that will add them to the game because they were a nice addition to the game.

Well, the developers have said that they will not add several start dates because it takes too much time to research for each start date, so I assume the same goes for scenarios. Mods and DLCs that add it are pretty likely, though.

Typically when you expect someone who isn't family/a friend to do something for you, you pay them for doing so and don't expect them to do it for free.

As implementing scenarios will almost certainly require work on the .exe, you'll have to wait for a DLC.

As for whether this is a good idea, well, I enjoyed the South American scenario in HOI2 as well as the North Africa campaign scenario, but just couldn't get into the scenarios in HOI3, so I'm agnostic on this one.

Multiple scenarios will be missed for sure. Since research had been done for previous HOI games to create scenarios, I don't see why they can't reuse information for those games. It would still require work to make it implemented, which I know they want to spend elsewhere. THat is understandable.

As long as they make it very easy for player-created modded scenarios to be enabled in the menu somehow, I will be happy. I think a Spanish Civil War scenario, for example, would be a nice one to have for a short-term game.
