I'm sure HoI3 will retain some nice features regardless of the fact there is HoI4 too. If you like the division commanders, then you will miss HoI3.
They know their audience well enough to know their sequels should be evolutions, not revolutions. EU 4 is almost like EU 3.5 regarding concept. That is, you feel you´ve played a lot of that before.
And I really doubt division commanders won´t be optional eventually. Removing them totally was not necessary.
I hated division commanders and actually thought they werent necessary myself. This is a strategic level game and yet the forum is constantly filled with suggestions on a operational level. Its tough enough to get the game functioning as intended without it being some sort of hybrid. I have no problem with the divisional commanders if they had a better auto set up. You should be able to have it on auto and the proper leaders go to the proper spots (all the way up the chain). Looking at the demos it seems like alot of drag and drop sort of a setup which to me will really remove it from that wargame style. Playing HOI3 is like playing a board game on PC which is why many older players are attracted to it. The more they modernize the game for the newer generation i think us old timers wont be too happy. For example i wont play games just with sprites. Ive bought alot of PI games and play one, this one. If HOI4 didnt have counters id likely buy it, play it 10 minutes like the others and never look at it again. I like some of what i see so far, but tbh ive been shell shocked in the past by so many glaring errors, some to this day still not fixed, im sort of in a ill believe it when i see it mode.
I tried Romania and went on to dominate Bulgaria, Greece, Albania. It is approx 1940. Do I attack Turkey or prepare for the Soviet rape?
As it stands now Turkey breaks the game. Your better off leaving Turkey alone. If you take Turkey, Germany will move all or most of its troops in Poland like a line of ants down through you and all over the middle east.
It’s "interesting" how EU IV still has that problem we only need to have enough land, enough vassals and the right target(s) to witness it.
Are there any community patches or mods that fix all of these bugs? (HOI3 sure has a lot of bugs for a "finished" game!)
Yes it does and nope. If you play the Axis dont invite or invade Turkey. If you play Turkey dont join the Axis. Otherwise.... problemo's
