Wishlist for HOI3

[unmerged(31085)]

What are your wishlist for HOI 3?

1. No more CTD.
2. No more lagging.
3. More terrain features on the maps with layout of cities.
4. New sprites for every level upgrades.
5. Dynamic night and day events.
6. Dramatic night bombings with anti-aircraft flaks and searchlights as sprites.
7. Trenches
8. Icons for capital cities like that of Victoria.
9. Improvement of weather AI.
10. Improvement on computer AI.
11. Overhaul on game engine for faster gameplay.
12. Breakdown of smaller states for MODDING compatibility.

These are some of my thoughts...what are yours?

Interesting, lets just hope that that wouldn't micromanage things.

 

[Draigh]

Politcal party’s!

*snip*¨

This would be awesome!

This gets my vote.

 

[The Great Duck]

I too would like parties in the game.

 

[Cold Evil]

How the parties could work is a different question, every 4 years when there is an election a event triggers and, you could choose between all the parties and when you chose one the % changes on all the others parties and there adds some % to the selected party. If there’s a % high enough the party is in power and you can change the political slide outside the party’s border whiteout penalties

It would also be cool if there could b4 a civil war of a revolution in a nation if the dissent level is too high, not only partisans that any one can attack, the game should start a new nation an form a likewise Spanish civil war.

The Free State of Virginia.

 

[dannyboy2016]

What I'd like to see in HOI3:

I want support for multi core processors.

I want practically unlimited country tags for modders.

I want a huge map where every region gets the kind of detail that the Eastern Europe Enhancement Mod is putting into their map.

I want players to have to spend ics to repair damaged infrastructure, factories, airfields, etc. I think it would make strategic bombing a more interesting option. It also would better represent the permanent damage that total war can do to countries.

I want to see rebels like out of In Nominee. I'd like to see situations where partisans with different alignments could fight each other- ie Monarchist partisans vs communist partisans duking it out over control of Nazi occupied Yugoslavia's future.

I want a 1933 to 1965 time frame.

I want to be able to automate intelligence and diplomacy missions. Do it like merchants in the EU games.

I want hot keys for building every type of building

I think it'd be interesting to allow ministers to rise up in positions. This way limited minister list for nations can be not so limited. You could have connected traits (E.g. corrupt kleptocrat is more likely to be a smiling oilman if head of government) and such for plausibility. Those in military parts of cabinet that suddenly rise to Head of State or Head of Government somehow would probably get military-related traits, etc.

Of course this would all have to be very rare, but it would also add a new element to rouge politicians. You could have people threatening to resign, etc. Maybe even have ministers change their ideology if you alienate them. Of course this can only happen if they have a 'moderate' ideology (Social Liberal, Market Liberal, Social Conservative) and anything more to the left/right of that would be very rare (Soc. Dem, Leninist, Fascist) or extraordinarily rare (Stalinist, National Socialist) as a random circumstance. IRL there were Fascists who became social conservatives or market liberals as Nazi Germany was falling, and especially Nazis who realized that it was all over and were forced to moderate their views or go into exile. Changing the ideology of the HoS or HoG would be astronomically rare and can only happen if the nation becomes too leftist, rightist, or moderate, forcing them to compromise.

If you wanted even more detail, people could have a chance to change their ideologies based on popularity of said ideology across the world if their own nation wasn't strong in upholding it. (E.g. Nazi Germany in its final days) This would also simulate the fall of Nazism as an ideology quite well.

Basically, I want a more dynamic minister system.

I'm sure this will have been mentioned somewhere, but anyway...

Dynamic alliances!

Ever played a game where one or more of the main alliances (Allies, Axis, Comintern) have been dismantled, leaving them empty, even though other powerful alliances exist which should be considered one of the main three in their place?

Alliance blocs should be more dynamic in so far as the alliances with the top 3 combined warscores should occupy blocs (three, as in HoI2, presumably) - thus, alliances can fall from the top three should they drop enough to be considered out of Great Power status, and so on.

That's interesting. How 'bout after a major nation is destroyed, another nation can rise up in its place. To be a major alliance, an alliance would-

1. have to include one major power

2. include at least 5 nations (excluding axis pre-1941)

Hmm, depends. I'm inclined to agree with the first, but not so much the second.

What about the USA and Japan, or France, the British Empire and Russia?

Two and three country blocks respectively, but they'd certainly be considered major alliances...

your forgetting about the Aussies, New Zealand, Canada, Egypt. Although it is questionable whether or not they were autonomous, if they are playable in the game, they should be included in the count.

Edit: maybe one super-power would equal many minor powers.

If we're talking the Second World War, they were autonomous (Statute of Westminster, 1931) - during the First, they were not.

I see your point, but I still think five is a little steep. It's about power, not numbers.

Very true. Rather than making the requirements something of "x number of nations", a calculation should be made that considers combined economic, military and diplomatic power.

Absolutely, which is why I suggested victory points (the game could calculate every alliance's victory points, the top three alliances being classed as the main ones) - of course, that's just one way of doing things...

I got something throttling in my head since this morning:

"Intelligent" battlescenarios, i mean having a fully reworked map in the folder, that springs up on loading up battlescenario and overrides the game original map.
Then the game would check if theres any province file (names and resource,ic locater etc.) and it would load it overriding the original files.

Offcourse if no reworked map or province files are present in the folder the original ones will load up as usual.

Would be a great feature to make enlarged/scaled/precise battlefields, like the Battle of Stalingrad, D-Day or the Battle of Berlin.

Or my thread about the fall of Berlin.

You scoundrel! Sneaking around in my mind and stealing data!
But then again, would be a great feature...

 

[lastmantodie]

What are your wishlist for HOI 3?

1. No more CTD.
etc.

These are some of my thoughts...what are yours?

Would like greater expansion of division names, depending on victories etc.
For example if germany were to beat russia etc. there would surely be an expansion of the S.S. i.e. more divisions names( not nessarily ss others like Gaurds units for UK etc.) Or PAR or MAR ss divisions

-I want specific province bombing not bombing some province that i dont even attack Example:Bomb only province Essen or Just Smolensk with this Bltizkrieg could be more powered
-I want Recon Plane so that i can fly them over enemy lines and see their unit strength how much division in that province(they can have escort fighters with them and we could use them only War situation
-I want upgrading ships to new type like land and air units but it will be a long time to upgrade them lets say if we need two years to build Air Carrier we can upgrade it for a year and 3 months of course the button for upgrade this unit or not will still be there but it will be for upgrade this ship or not
-I want better use of Subs cauz they cant do anything just convoy raiding
-I want expanding air units to stack into 6 units or more 4 is to little
-I want Special Event D-Day on 06.06.1994 and we have american units attacking the same beach with same strength like that days
-Event Bitter Peace with Soviet Union like in first part of HOI cauz I played germany 5 times on every difficulty and all the times i won stalingrad moscow leningrad and i didnt had the event!!! what i need to do? go in siberia???
-Event goverment in Exile like Yugoslavia and other countries
-Israel cannot be liberated by Germany cauz it BLACK HUMOUR
-Event in the 1938 the Crystal Night i think when we have lowering relationships with every country and maybe gearing up bonus for Allies
-Liberating Macedonia in Balcan
-more provinces in Balcans cauz its 2 easy to win over balcan (we need at least 4 more provinces in macedonia(ohrid,strumica,kumanovo bitola)
-croatia needs more 2 in the sea(zadar,Sibenik) and we NEED the adriatic islands in Croatia(Vis,Brach Corchula,Hvar) we need in north 4 more(varazdin,sisak and another at front of osijek maybe vukovar or borovo or vinkovci could be named)and we need one behind zagreb maybe Kumrovec?
-We need Provinces in Bosnia like Tuzla,Trebinje,Bihac Drvar those are small towns but vital to Yugoslavia conquest)
-Slovenia needs 2 more cauz maribor and ljubljana is just maybe celje nad Dravograd or other
-Serbia needs certainly more provinces Beograd can be small urban area instead most of earlier province would be kragujevac,novi pazar should change name to other city cauz it that time im not sure it was so big, Nis should be split into Nis into south and north province zajecar in the north of Serbia we need subotica province and zrenjanin renamed into petrovgrad and vrsac province(with this you could liberate Vojvodina like a hungary Puppet) on the west we need valjevo cauz its more big then Uzice like city so two areas instead one Uzice
Montenegro needs really some provinces(Cetinje was their capital before unification with Serbia in 1918 and after was center for Zeta Banovina until in 1945 communist transfer it to Podgorica!! so we need Podgorica and we need Cetinje like CAPITAL cauz Podgorica is not Correct(it can cover Boka Kotorska Bay and center of Sea with none port) while on south we have Bar(Vital Port in every Yugoslavia) on west of MNT we have niksic

that is Yugoslavia

Albani need Skodra(Scadar in European) and one more or two provinces and it has to starts with maybe one division or two so no one invade it that easy with just marching!

Bulgaria need for me 3 more provinces its stupid pleven plovdiv varna ) we need one more on see like Burgas in Middle we need to divide pleven and plovdiv and maybe on west instead sofia so big we make kjustendil and sofia smaller?

in Turkey how is that you declare and you enter Istanbul directly we need Edrene(Odrin) in European Part
Greece need Corfu Like Specific island(I THINK aGRINION ITS NOT THE SAME iSLAND IF ITS THE SAME THEN ITS OK) and needs Serez on the east side and in the middle needs one more

Hungary needs more province desperately
Romania is huge but two or three more cannot cost

Italy Venice split into Istra and Venice and Trieste and if we have the croat islands one of those are italian like the town of Zadar at that time ...


more provinces in Caucas so we can make reasonoable liberating

-I want HISTORIC FLAGS,(swastika,Imperial Japan) Coats of Arms,SPRITES,
-I want the flag of Yugoslavia be with the coat of arms of kingdom upon it cauz the same flag is the flag used by SR Yugoslavia adn SCG until 2006 so with the coat of arms of the old kingdom we would have the diffrence
-I want more Ministers and more accurate pictures for units in smaller countries
-I want every country makes its special units
we have making SS divisions seperatly then infantry ! SS could cost more IC and more time do develop but it would be better
Russians can make other special units
and so on
-Specific Attack Option to Panzer Units or other tank units
like we sellect Panzer Units in Kustrin and i Click on Warsaw then i select option attack with bltizkrieg and the panzer roll over the land very quickly HIGH speed nad it has bonus cauz we have researched Blitzkrieg Doctrine but russians dont have high bonus cauz they dont have blitizkrieg
-I WANT THE GAME TO BE MORE HISTORICAL ! not having TITO as a research team in Kingdom of Yugoslavia )))
or having Draza Mihailovic in communist Goverment like minister :rofl: :rofl:

any comments if i have bad suggestion are welcomed

 

[blue emu]

-I want Special Event D-Day on 06.06.1994 and we have american units attacking the same beach with same strength like that days

Events that FORCE players down a specific historical path are bad in principle... and so are major turning-point events that take place on a specific day at a specific location. Did Hitler really know back in 1936 that the USA would be attacking that particular beach, with that particular force of Divisions, SEVEN years later?... because if your suggestion is adopted, the German PLAYER will know that, seven years ahead of time.

-Event Bitter Peace with Soviet Union like in first part of HOI cauz I played germany 5 times on every difficulty and all the times i won stalingrad moscow leningrad and i didnt had the event!!! what i need to do? go in siberia???

Did you ALSO take Paris, Baku and Sverdlovsk as well? Those are the BP conditions...

Albani... has to starts with maybe one division or two so no one invade it that easy with just marching!

-I WANT THE GAME TO BE MORE HISTORICAL !

These two suggestions make an odd pair. How many Divisions did Albania have HISTORICALLY in 1936?

-I want HISTORIC FLAGS,(swastika,Imperial Japan) Coats of Arms...

Not going to happen. Swastikas are illegal in several countries... Germany, France, Austria, etc.

-Specific Attack Option to Panzer Units or other tank units
like we sellect Panzer Units in Kustrin and i Click on Warsaw then i select option attack with bltizkrieg and the panzer roll over the land very quickly HIGH speed nad it has bonus cauz we have researched Blitzkrieg Doctrine but russians dont have high bonus cauz they dont have blitizkrieg

This request seems to be based on a rather common misconception. The WW-II German advance through Poland in 1939 was rather slower than the WW-I German advance through northern France back in 1914... TWENTY-FIVE years earlier. Compare the rates of advance in km-per-day.
