Your one dearest Hearts of Iron II wish?

What is your one dearest Hearts of Iron II wish?


My wish is a more realistic peace working system. No longer all out ANNEX OR DEATH! I'm not saying that the war should end with a few war indemnitied paid on each side, but if Germany is occupied in the West, just because they have a huge area of Russia, it doesn't mean they will keep fighting.

I'd settle for HOI2. Is there any indication of such a sequel from Paradox?

Ummm...Yes...they just announced it...this is the Hearts of Iron II forum...

 

[CommanderCody]

Uhhh... where's my brain. Here it is. :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

As Kent Dorfman said, "Oh boy is this great!"

 

[CommanderCody]

Anyway, I always liked the idea of factories for specific tanks and aircraft, plus a lot of other things, but you only want one idea here.

Yeah thats why I liked Vicky better, I thought taking over Europe gradually ws better than having to annex or go back to starting borders. I dont think that WWII had any examples of just a little land being taken but I think it would make the gaming experience better overall.

For my one wish - roughly five times as many provinces, each much smaller (in RL size) than the ones we have now. I want to MANEUVER on the Eastern Front and I want to sneak my carriers around the ocean for strikes 2 or 3 sea zones away.

There should be a hex based map, one that can truly model the terrain, and add more strategy to this wargame, rather than a abstract province system..A thousand wargames can't be wrong..

AA prices reworked

Id like to see a reworking of the AA gun prices.

1 point of AA should not cost the same for a 15 IC province compared to a 1 IC province.

Either the price should depend on the number of things to cover. The more to protect the more 1 point should cost.

Or the effect of the AA should be devided by the amount of places to protect.

IC and resources should both count against whatever option is choosen.

Hearts of Iron is a Grand Strategical Game, not a tactical game. Things like terrain and weather belong in Panzer General, not a great game like Hearts of Iron.

World in flames,Empire in arms,etc,etc, they started the "Grand Strategical" genre, and they are hexed.

Panzer General cancels them all out. Sorry...next...

One thing I'd like to see is the various island 'bridges' done away with.

Instead, have it so Marine divisions have attached LCIs so that they can island hop without transport capacity.

If something like Victoria's factory production system is instituted for HOI2, then a requirement for contructing Marines would be a certain number of landing craft which would give the island hopping ability.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Empires In Arms is'nt hex based. It's area based.

And EIA served to inspire an obscure European boardgame called Europa Univseralis, which was also area-based. And Europa Univseralis inspired a computer game by Paradox, coincidentally by the same name, also area-based. Paradox's success with EU inspired "Hearts of Iron".

So HOI2 is a great-great-grandson of EIA .

Be it hexes or be areas of the same size. but map must be divided in equal space units, this is neccessary for fighting at any level (be it tactical, operational or strategic).

Current province model it's wrong (if at least provinces were all of similar size). That change lone would make the gme much better.

EDIT: the "perfect" evolution would be vector based system, but I see that fr away yet for grn strategy games. For perfect implementtion of rel-time & vector-based system in operational scle see "Highway to the reich" (Panther Games, edited by Matri games, one of the best wargames, if not the ebst, in 2003, and one of the most originl and re¡volutionary ideas ever).

Ability of majors to create their own alliance.

Yeah.

I'd like it if you could capture aircraft instead of them all being destroyered (without any steel or supplies being given to you). Historically all countries chose to keep the aircraft they captured. Germany kept french planes after the fall of France and gave them to her Eastern European allies and the Finns where happy to use anything they could get in the air.

 

[John Poole]

Yeah.

I want the world market to die a horrible death. I want it pushed off a building and run over by a steam roller, a marching band to march over and an airplane to be crashed into it. NO MORE WORLD MARKET!! I want trades to be done bilaterally and require an actual transport system to get the goods to your territories. Also you should need actual supply lines to your factories to be able to produce things in them. I want naval combat to actually mean something darnit!! Having Germany buying up American Oil during WWII with no navy is ridiculous!
