Nice, I particularly like the "Open Negotiations", could this be the bilateral trade for resources option?

Very nice! And a somewhat expanded diplomacy section is good. I especially like the non-agression pacts, but wonder how they will actually work.

And a small correction: Please, Johan, please don't call it regulated market vs. free market. Call it planned economy vs. free market, alright? Thanks... :D ;)

HoI 2 will do to HoI what EU 2 did to EU ... make it obsolete.

Keep up the good work :)

I would like to know what the option is underneath the mouse cursor. :D

Because it won't be the text displayed because that option is already 2 options above.

BTW: I like what I see so far!

Axis, Allies and Komitern. So only 3 alliances again? If so, that's a big disappointment...please tell it's possible to form 'minor' alliances, and these are only the 'major' alliances!!!

yes its possible...

But those 3 are special main alliances. (And its very convenient to have them as "sort-buttons")

Aw, man... This is... Wow!

I wonder what the sorting is on that country list. Relations? Maybe some way of choosing what sorting to use would be appropriate. (name and relations, maybe)

And yes, I suppose the font could do with slight changes. Making it bigger, for one.

Also, maybe the knowledge of other countries' policies could be a bit shadier.

I just looked more closely at the background. It's not only the recruitment poster, it also includes the Iwo Jima flag raising and the USAAF insignia. Purty. :)

Yes.. Major nations and other fun nations (Sweden, Canada, Finland ) will have their own interface skins.

And making interface skins will be super-easy :)

So it looks from the screen that you are playing as the US and the sliders are for the the Soviet Union. But why are you able to click on the sliders of a different country and change them? It certainly appears that some of the plus/minus buttons are clickable and others aren't (different colors).

Though the buttons that are active (yellowish) don't really seem to fit with anything. E.g. it looks like you can try to make them more anti-democratic even though the slider is all the way towards that end. And both buttons for politcal left - political right are active despite the slider being all the way to the left.

The diplomatic/policy screen looks absolutely great...there's definitely been a big improvement interface-wise.

I can imagine that the interventionism/isolationism slider will likely have some interesting effects diplomacy-wise too.

And btw, this is a minor detail, but the flags look pretty neat as well....though the main US one is in a slightly strange position. :D
