As the title says? What new change or feature has you most excited for this new game?
I personally am looking forward to the new production feature. Don't really know why. But I love the idea and can't wait to actually use it.
Not having to micro ALL of the little things yet still move anything that I want. Like the garrison area feature. And the transport mechanic playing as any sea fairing nation. Also the universal division template will let me play USSR without dedicating 3 hours to have a perfect oob Yeah I'm lookin forward to being able to do everything that I love in Hoi without all the micro grind that was in hoi3 (which is my favorite game)
Among other things, having resources actually matter and thus giving you an incentive to conquer stuff other than IC and pretty borders (which were impossible to achieve w/o console commands anyway).
Civil wars! It sounds so cool to have a civil war between the communists and democrats for example. I hope that (even if your starting country is democratic, France for example) you can turn them into a communist state.

I cannot agree more on this matter World War II was certainly a resource war! Past HOI games did not really hit this home as well as it seems HOI4 does now.
I am also really excited how they implemented equipment for divisions rather than building division wholesale. This seems like it is going to be so awesome to play around with especially since you can do all sorts of cool things such as:
Build a Mustang P-51A and then basically modify it to a P-51C and P-51D (and any other weapon like this
Give equipment to your allies to use
Create elite divisions with the Div planner using all your different equipment
A whole bunch of stuff - improved naval and air, improved production, peace conferences and diplomacy, and I'm sure a bunch of things I've forgotten about but will remember again as soon as I fire it up. Then, once I've got my head around it, the wonderful modding support .
Equipment and the division builder is the main reasons. Hopefully the historical mode will be, well, historical too. That is extremely important to me.
There are also a lot I am afraid of, but these two things are enough to make me buy the game.
Paradox getting rid of the command structure and all that complicated stuff. I am also looking forward to the national focuses and just about everything else.
