This is just one battle within the war system that can be boiled down to “an absolute clusterf**k”. That isn’t to say there is no way to make the tide turn, but such tactics are hidden so deep you’d almost think the game was ashamed to share that other side with the casual scrubs like me. You’ll be trying to break it, but short of flinging more bodies into the meat-grinder I haven’t found a way. Often stalemate will set in as, for instance, you fling 10 divisions against 2. Aiming for realism, battles are not won or lost after the trading of blows. While on the subject of banging your head against a wall, it makes an apt description for the war in the game. ( Hearts of Iron IV, Paradox Interactive) In addition, this advanced information isn’t (usually) required to learn and patience with banging your head over and over into the game will eventually bare fruit. It has also decided to uphold the tradition of the series in keeping the more advanced information hidden away within a wiki, though fortunately a link is built into the game this time around in case you don’t want to practice pressing alt+tab over-and-over. Even the tutorial messes with you as, despite following the instructions closely, I lost a fight between Italy and Ethopia two times out of three. There is a big “however” to these systems and options: Hearts of Iron IV is roughly as accessible as a dead language and as friendly as playing chicken with a train. These all allow people to experiment or adapt depending on the landscape on hand, such as damaging supplies if you feel they outnumber you heavily or blowing up ports to prevent across-seas reinforcements. While there is a penalty to research speed if you try to gain technology before a particular year, there isn’t anything technically stopping you from going for the nuke straight away as long you follow the tree (which is 3 techs in size, including the bomb). You can take a heavily air-focused effort for war, you can fling soldiers at the problem until your enemy is buried under your corpses or even try for a more tactical support-inclusive style involving artillery. Simply put: This game has a lot of systems, and within each system are a lot of choices. Then there’s also setting up planes and boats to do specific tasks in specific areas, the potential for secret political warfare (as in converting your enemies bit by bit to your ideology) and, when everything is done, you have to decide what country gets what as you carve up provinces, which can include 6+ allies. In addition, when war hits you also have to arrange your soldiers into regiments, set up regiment plans, and then execute at the right time. “So, once you’re set up, you’ll be ready to go. The last aspect is producing wave-after-wave of regiments, only limited by your manpower. Thirdly, you’ll save up political power to help hire leaders or adjust government policy to maximize statistics. The second part is your researching of tech on a tech-tree and through national focus (which will usually increase the speed of particular tech so many times) the former sometimes making you choose one or the other and the latter usually having requirements. support equipment, oil factories and AA guns) with hopes that you have the resources necessary. The first is set up of your military/civilian factories to build things for your war-machine (e.g. This preparation comes in four core parts. You must then prepare your country for war on a global scale and then fight through it to not only survive but also come out the other end richer for it. You play as any country you wish (yes, despite Tencent investing in Paradox, Tibet is on the table as an independent nation) and can either start on the 1 st of January, 1936 when the idea of a second World War was a pessimistic thought, or the 14 th of August, 1939 when the coals of war were warm. Hearts of Iron IV by Paradox Development Studios is a grand strategy title set within the second World War. …Yeah, best cut this intro and keep it as the three words above I think.
