[Albertv]

I have 2 question for all the people.

1. The HoI gonna have spanish language?

2.If you play with Spain and the nationalist spain win you, you lost the game, or you continue to play with the nationalist spain?

Thanks

1. Check FAQ or game info from retailers.

2. Almost certain you lose that game since I haven't heard about the government in exile thing in awhile.

1. It definitely should have Spanish. It is the largest language in the world after all.

2. That's actually a good question. I want to say no, but I'm not actually sure. If a dev could answer this, it would be appreciated.

 

[Zankoas]

They have said on stream it will be in Spanish

 

[PlayerHOI]

In Hearts of Iron III you needed to be part of a faction to be able to form a government in exile.

During the Spanish civil war I don't think either of the Spain's has enough time to join one of the major factions.

But tbh I don't think there will be exiled governments in HOI IV at all so once you lose its probably game over, I assume it might be included in a future expansion/DLC and perhaps it will be better than it was in HOI III.

A good answer, but not to the question the OP asked.

He wanted to know if you choose to play as Rep. Spain when the civil war breaks out, but then lose to the Nationalists, will you play on as Nationalist Spain or finish the game.

Rep.Spain is a different tag from Nat.Spain. If you make the wrong choice, and lose the war, then the game is "over". There are several ways to get over that. But there is no pop-up message "You suck at SCW, do you want to continue as the country which just defeated you?". That would make no sense because in theory if you were playing MP someone else could play as Nat.Spain (by hot joining after the SCW starts). Plus there are no tag changing events.

The best way to avoid this happening is to win the SCW as the Republicans

 

[Hikuran]

The Rep. Spain and Nat.Spain is considered by game mechanics as 2 different countries, same goes to those warlords in China.
So if you lost to another faction, though they were actually from the same country, it's still Game Over

 

[potski]

The warlords in China are different though. They are not in a "civil war" in game terms with China. They are not one tag which has temporarily split into two during the game, Spain is.

Not true, Mandarin(or more commonly known as chinese) is spoken by more people.

 

[potski]

Not true, Mandarin(or more commonly known as chinese) is spoken by many more people.

Corrected that for you

848 million native Mandarin speakers, as compared to 329 million native Spanish.

Recent figures have native English speakers as 328 million, but if you were to add all of those who speak English as their second language there also would be many more than Spanish. We would surely count Daniel, now that Jake is training him to say Germany

Most of the people who buy the game will play in English. Sorry, damn you Paradox, in American English.

Yes.
Si.

2.If you play with Spain and the nationalist spain win you, you lost the game, or you continue to play with the nationalist spain?
Thanks

It ends there.
Se acaba allì.

At the beginning of the war, you can choose whether you continue with Republican Spain or switch to Nat.
Al principio de la guerra, puedes eligir si seguir con los republicanos o con los nacionalistas.

You're right, I forgot about that.

1. The game is in Spanish!

2. When the Spanish Civil War breaks out, a Spain player gets the option of whether to go with the Nationalists or the Republicans. If you the side you go with loses the war and is annexed, the game unfortunately ends.
We're trying to represent the SCW with "regular" game mechanics as much as we can so that it will be a plausible conflict that feels organic, but that also means we try to avoid making special exceptions. If you're on the losing side in any civil war, you risk a game over.

that is actually good and I am glad to hear that. It is great to have an opportunity to pick a side.

Even if you win the civil war isn't it pretty much game over anyway?

You could still send expeditionary forces to other people, so there's still something to do. In MP, that might be useful if you don't want to swap to a major afterwards.

I wouldn't say so. I had a cool game as Republican Spain in Darkest Hour where I joined the Comintern after winning the Civil War. We then fought Germany from both sides. By the time the USSR's armies reached me I was down to a three-province pocket around Gibraltar, but I never got annexed!

Hey that is cool!
I just figured a player may be able to conquer Portugal but then after that there is really not much for Spain to do but watch?

Only if all you think about is painting the map your colour. The neutral focus tree gives small powers the potential to punch way above their weight, industrially-speaking. The main issue they'll have is running out of manpower, but that's why you join the Allies, Axis or Comintern, or create your own faction of puppets.
