what scenarios should be added

[geogus]

Hi guys

At launch, the game has two starting historical scenarios, 1936 and 1939.

Likely,, there will be historical scenarios added later, with historical positions

What historical scenarios would you suggest.



My toughts:

Battle of Stalingrad - A huge german division cut off at stalingrad with air supply mission already enabled

Rommel at Africa - A scenario with the German armies at Lybia already deployed

Siege of Trobuk - A little more advance scenario where Rommel has advanced and sieged Trobuk

D-Day - A scenario that starts with allied amphibious assault at normandy

Invasion of Greece - Italy just DoWs Greece with historical positions

Pearl Habor - A scenario starting with japanese sneak attack at Hawaii

If they have time then one which would be good for multi might be worth it. I'd suggest 1942 or 1943.

Barbarossa would be my next pick because everything kicks off shortly there after, specific scenarios like we had in HOI3 I think will not be around be no reason why a scenario on a Global scale cannot be introduced. I doubt you will see thousands of replays of Kursk or such unless people want to get to late stage Operation Unthinkable or something quicker.

I'm fine because I played 95% the 1936 Scenario in all HOI games

The good old Götterdämmerung, 1944 with the Germans losing in the East and the West.

Why not? It's good idea.

I personally think a start date set anywhere between 1925 to 1933 would be great, but that would be a huge undertaking.

The work needed to set-up the files. Plus IIRC Johan said ages ago (7-8 years back!) that their research showed very few people ever played these scenarios. Most wanted at least some build-up to be able to influence their country before war.

The battle scenarios that appeared in one of the HOI3 expansions, where for instance you could play only Germany or UK in North Africa, and the rest of the map was blacked out, probably received even less interest.

A June 22nd 1941 date should be added. It would be interesting to see if you could do better than Hitler with the historically similar build up he had at the start of Barbarossa, or see if you could've done better as Stalin at halting the advancing Germans while in a similar position.

Isnt that for long time games such as euiv?

Speaking for myself i both enjoy storicak snlcenarios and battle specifc scenarios ( rest of map darkned)

Historical scenarios are important to play important moments that might not happen in a game starting from 1936.

And battle scenarios are ideal for a short game, without many political or managerial concerns... Just a war game...

However i admit the love i get for historical scenarios in hoi and darkest hour does not happen in EUIV, almost always i pick 1444 scenario

It's in the works
