which feature would you wish to see in the first DLC?

[mdw1985]

Since I guess, that all features for the release version are set in stone now, i asked myself, which features you would like to see in the first DLC. My wishes in general are:

Focus trees for certain minors
Buyable equipment (trade)
Sabotage (espionage)
Stealing blueprints (espionage)
Battleplan stolen (espionage)
More unit icons (army planner)
More decisions (events)
Captured equipment (combat)
Secret treaties (diplomacy)
More brigade types (army planner)
Strategic deployment (railways)
Air Wing Planner
Naval maneuvers (navy exp.)
Air maneuvers (air force exp.)
Redeployment of industry
HQ units (bonus for a certain state)
Sea Mines
Kamikaze option for planes
Capturing merchant ships
Mining (oil in lybia f.e.)

This one, and OOB

Traded and captured equipment look great also. In general, anything that will lead to more micro-management will be appreciate, at least if the AI can handle it

 

[Denkt]

Maybe best to have played the game first before suggesting DLCs.

 

[Mr.Bajskorv]

Espionage.
Increased timeline.
Fleshed out minor countries.
Makin Uranium a strategic resource.

I for one don't want that much more micromagaging.

This. I haven't even paid for the base game yet...

 

[Snappie88]

As long as those DLC's are free. I refuse to pay for stuff that should be included in the base game (like espionage).

And who gets to decide what belongs in the base game and what belongs in expansions?

But yes I agree, we don't know everything that's in the base game or what could be improved, let alone what could be in future expansions.

 

[Evan05]

Aren't we getting a bit ahead of ourselves here?

 

[MajorHeartfire]

We know espionage is not in the base game. I would elect that as the first major DLC.

Besides, that, I'd say let's wait and see what else we want.

Nordic focus tree DLC, with a unique tree for all nordic nations. Being Swedish I am obviously very interested in seeing more flavour being added to my own country on a personal level, but I also think it could provide some interesting gameplay elements for the average player as well. Sweden had a very competent industry that produced native tanks, aircraft and naval vessels for the military so there is a lot of potential to create a realistic focus tree with unique units! Finland and Norway were of course more relevant when it comes to their actual involvement in the war.

A focus tree DLC for Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania would be interesting to me as well since I generally favour to play smaller countries and turn them into powerhouses in paradox games, and these countries were very active in the war. Maye all previously mentioned nations could be released in a single "competent minors" DLC?

$5 Blood FX dlc pls

I guess we are just running out of things to talk about, with the lack of DD's and WWW videos.

As many have said waiting to play the game first would probably be ideal, but one thing that I would enjoy would be an extended timeline, I greatly enjoy the buildup before war in strategy games so having the starting date in 30' or 33' would make me very happy.

The nice thing about that is how you can change the world too. Although, I do wonder how that would play out in the focus trees... They seem to prefer a railroad approach solely made for the time period they have currently created...

It's railroaded in a sense that it's a WWII game and a traditional WW2 will occur more than half the time on ahistorical mode and 9/10 on historical mode unless the player does something wrong.

 

[MajorHeartfire]

Yup! I am not trying to state that there is something wrong with the game design, just that the railroading does make any timeline extensions rather difficult.

 

[Red Roo]

A simplified (compared to HOI 3) yet complex logistics system.

 

[Estland]

Extended timeline into 1950s
More democratic parties (liberal, conservative etc)
Focus trees for powerful minors (China, Poland)
Mechanics for undeclared border wars (Khalkhin Gol)

 

[General WVPM]

Scenario's, just like in HOI3, where you can play a certain part of the war, barbarossa, sea lion, invasion of france, desert war, winter war, etc etc

\ I kinda agree but lets face it this is paradox famous for their £150 games...I have no problem with paid dlc but content that should obviously be in the initial game kinda takes the biscuit. On the other hand i do get many more hours from these games than any other
