Worst ideas for HOI 4

[Sir Pellew]

We'll have to actually write down commands in text (like in Waterloo PC game from 1989) that are wired to the commanders and then executed (I used to love this game )



>Rommel, align south with Steiner and move east 1 mile. Rommel attack in line with Steiner at 09:00 AM and move 1/2 mile east of Kursk.<

Another great idea: you've to pay for patches. (Evil to him who evil thinks.)

Google+ integration so everyone can see all data about your game like:
??? Used money cheat
??? 1st army reached it's final destination ???

DLC's for every country so you can play as it.
Xbox One exclusive where you control Germany by heiling Hitler on kinect XD.

That is probably my favorite bad idea. Just crazy enough to be ridiculous, but almost believable enough to fool major news outlets.

I kinda like these ideas.

-Polandball interface: Unless you play as a nation that natively speaks English, the entire interface is presented in Polandball-style broken English. This will be impossible to disable.

When playing Germany anytime you click to move units or select to produce things, a loud audio will come on with a german man screaming "Snell Snell" and when you click on tank groups they scream "Achtung".

Plus russian troops screaming 'dawai, dawai', USMC shouting 'Move you *BEEP* *BEEP*' and the UK troops saying in a mild tone 'Please be so kind to advance, gentlemen'

I love that last one.

Add a Pepperland province, and allow the British to build a Yellow Submarine.

Also have a water Provence as an octopus's garden

An Oculus Rift UI where you direct your nation by walking thru the Führerbunker, Kremelin, Whitehouse, ... and giving orders by talking to your ministers and generals.

The Oculus Rift UI for some reason sounds fun.

After you defeat Nazis Germany theres a 50% chance that 100 years later they will invade the earth from the darkside of the moon.

*Robot voice*To move 1st army corps to Hamburg heil Hitler one time. To move them to Berlin heil Hitler two times.

And with a cold war DLC there is a 90 procent chance to find a nazi base on the moon. After that loads of nazi divisions will together with all kinds of weird jet bomber's and UFO's drop off in your capital, nazi nukes will start falling from space destroying everything alive globaly, and you will get screwed. Only way to destroy them is to buy the special DLC costing only 60 bucks! Just kidding, they are undefeatable. But still buy the DLC, it gives you a another tank division!

Great, a speech interface like the ones they use on those telephone lines for e.g., cinemas. I can imagine it now:

Computer: "please make your selection, your options are [indecipherable]"

Me: "Err . . . what was that?"

Computer: "You selected 'fight to the death and don't retreat', if you wish to change your selection, say 'cancel'"

Me: "Cancel, cancel!"

Computer: "'Fight to the death and don't retreat' is confirmed, have a nice day!"

only working with Games for Windows Live

I think the best worst idea is to make it turn-based, play-by-mail only.

Land mail, or air mail?

Land mail, or air mail?

Snail mail, land. Imagine having to forward the letter to each nation so that they could make their decisions. A single turn would take far too long.

Borrow several core components from CK/EU/Vicky to make HOI more like those games.

I don't think that's a such bad idea, at least for some cases.

Coalitions.

 

[Dalwin]

There is absolutely zero need for coalitions in HOI. The world already separates itself into 3 main alliances two of which side with each other against the third. Adding coalitions which just make it harder for these alliances to form.

You do realize this is the WORST ideas thread right XD

 

[Dalwin]

Yes, thought of that, but wasn't sure if the comment was in opposition to my previous worst idea, since it got some.

Not sure if that is a triple negative or not.
