[QUOTE=Tuskin;39567245]The top one is the one I don't like.
The Victoria 2 map (the bottom one) is a lot more detailed.[/QUOTE]
Yes, exactly what I just said. The bottom one is using the stupid Mercator projection. The HoI 3 is far superior in both detail and projection.
No I think the Vicky 2 is the more detailed. Look at the islands specifically.

Actually, you're probably right about the detail. The Vicky 2 map has more islands and stuff, but it's still using that god damn awful projection.
HOI3's map works for what the game is. A shorter, more severe, fast-paced war simulator. EvW is using a slightly larger map with slightly larger provinces, ala Vicky 2.
Clio's Iron Heart map mod for HOI3 was fixing some of the detail problems, but it died.

Germany, Austria, and the Czech's somehow left the commies after we beat Japan and this is how the world ended up looking. (I edited Poland's borders because it was ugly before and I made Korea annex North Korea.)

For some reason, in late 1945, after the war in Europe ended, the Soviet Union declared war on the USA, causing the allies to fight the Comintern. Europe, excluding the UK, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden and Norway are Comintern forces.
Manchukuo and Korea (Now the PRK, who owns all of it), are also Communist, and the war with Japan is practically non-existant (Massive standstill between Chinese and Japanese, and there's no fight between the allies or soviets and Japan.
The Soviets took parts of Alaska but were forced out by the Americans.

The US just nuked Paris, achieving little as they were just forced out of Spain and couldn't break through in Greece.

Nuclear strike on Dusseldorf

Milan, Helsinki and Instanbul nuked.
Where are all these nukes coming from !?!? (1948, btw)

Going to launch Operation Unthinkable tomorrow. Also I finally built my air force because the British decided to let me buy their rocket interceptors and jets for like 30 money per 5 jets.
I have also accumulated ~8 nukes. Moscow is going to go extinct.
America what is your problem
Moscow, Hiroshima, Holland, Tokyo and Warsaw nuked too.
That's a total of 10 nuclear strikes.
America is nuke happy in Darkest Hour.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;39569314]America is nuke happy in Darkest Hour.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, 2 more Soviet cities were nuked.
Goddamn, for a Paradox game that's a tad excessive.
Well Darkest Hour wasn't made by Paradox. Just published.

"Depending on how EvW represents satellites and manned spaceflight, this might be the first Paradox title where Poland can actually into space. So that. "
Oh god haha, the Soviet Union conquered the French and Belgium GIE, and now released a ton of African countries under the puppeteering of Communism.
v:v:v
Beat the imperialists, I guess.
[editline]12th February 2013[/editline]
Now the Allies are blitzing through Africa, and tons of rebels are popping up in the Soviet Union.
Looks like an Allied victory to me.
I wonder if there are going to be Canadian Flavour events for the Avro Arrow. The dev team stated there will be a lot of Historical flavour.

Here are some EvW screens from last month, I don't think I posted.

I think those were posted, I remember you (or someone else) making a comment about the Canadian flag and how it should be changed or something.

I also hope they take a Darkest Hour approach and have flags change with huge diplomatic/political changes.
I mentioned the flag months ago after the first screens came out, but those there were only posted last month.
I'm assuming the flag is an engine limitation anyways. Its based off the HOI3 version of the engine, HOI3 didn't have the ability to change flags on a whim. So they just took the flag that would be around most of the game time, the good old red white and true.
Although, they've mentioned on the forums they are modifying the engines for their own purposes, interesting that flag changes are not part of that. Or perhaps that feature isn't in yet, it is still an alpha after all.

The guy is speaking like he's being forced to say stuff at gunpoint and is struggling to get it out, probably because it seems like he's not very fluent with english.

Depends on what you like. It's widely argeed CK II is probably the easiest to get into, or EU III.
Paradox is a small Swedish developer, so I find the fraps watermark and spelling mistakes endearing, unlike CAPCPOM
