What if it gives you the ability to have more control over your character. I mean they said it does away with provinces, so maybe you're able to play as your dude in their capital? Then again that's way too much work for an expansion, especially an expansion for something like CK2.

Hindustan maybe?

Hindustan would be fucking beast.

Nero and Armstrong are new games, and there won't be provinces in Nero.

Maybe China? You could be the next Cao Cao.

What if it's actually the New World, complete with an alternate political landscape if you have Sunset Invasion activated. [editline]22nd January 2014[/editline] When are we actually going to find out what they are? I could've sworn I heard a week ago it was going to be revealed any day now.

Hype train now boarding: Armstrong: Rate Agree for Space Race centered game Rate Disagree for Modern Times game Rate Funny for alternate history space game Rate Winner for Vicky 3 Rate Zing for HoI4 Rate Dumb for Tour de France Sim 2014 Nero: Rate Informative for Fantasy game Rate Friendly Vicky 3 Rate Useful for CK3 Rate Optimistic for Rome 2 Lemme know if I forgot something [editline]22nd January 2014[/editline] Lol maybe I should've done a separate post for Nero r8 me dumb later

Is Vicky 3 any good? It looks really cool.

[QUOTE=CapLaPorte;43632070]Vicky 3 is my 2nd favourite Vicky game[/QUOTE] Fucking fuck thanks for making me screw up the numbers.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;43632146]Huh? How does that confirm HoI4? Politics and espionage were happening looooong before WW2, and are still happening to this day. If anything that hints more towards CK2 as both of those are massive parts of the game.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure how rockets relate to medieval Europe, unless there's some linguistical subtlety that they've exploited.

[QUOTE=Kljunas;43632514]But it's a new game, not a DLC. That's why the CK2 and EU eras are pretty much ruled out.[/QUOTE] It could be Classical Era.

[QUOTE=Griffster26;43632679]It could be Classical Era.[/QUOTE]Still doesn't fit with rockets, unless its something bizarrely subtle like DVH said.

Please be a new HOI, it'd be sweet if provinces had more in depth control, like smaller hexes within each one.

CkII in Asia would be pretty awesome. China, Japan, Vietnam, Tibet and Mongolia would all work out fine with a few minor mechanics.

[QUOTE=Profanwolf;43633412]Jesus christ no :v: It's detailed enough already, there are plenty of others things to improve, making the game even more of a microfest is not a requirement.[/QUOTE] Yeah you're right I guess I've been playing to much Unity of Command and other hex games, however the terrain is horribly modeled and provinces make it way too gamey, like defending copenhagen against the Reich forever among other things. However I'd like to see gameplay overhauls. Also the weather system needs to actually do something this time like they promised in 3.

But as you said, for other regions it's a problem that it becomes too gamey in smaller countries.

Guess I won't be getting Finest hour expansion then. And I am very curious about Runemaster, they almost never do something without provinces.

Well, can't say I'm too worried about HOI4 but Runemaster has definitely piqued my curiosity.

For the love of everything holy, [b]please[/b] give us a save game converter Paradox.

[QUOTE=kamikaze470;43642739]For the love of everything holy, [b]please[/b] give us a save game converter Paradox.[/QUOTE] For which game? Victoria 2 to HOI4?

According to tweets from various people The Map looks great AI Will follow your battle plans (I remember EvW team saying they were doing something similar..?) Political game fleshed out. Political leaders are fewer, but more important. Ideas you can unlock & implement. Strategic Warfare. Not everything is on a single-province level. E.g. air raids & submarine stuff can happen over larger areas instead of province-by-province micro. More focus on playability, slightly easier learning curve [editline]23rd January 2014[/editline] The Paradox twitter says we'll see the map "Soon"

I'm pretty excited about HoI4. I wanted to get into HoI3 recently but now I thing I'll wait for the new one since it'll probably be way less clunky. I don't really care about Runemaster so far though, I'm more looking forward to the CK2 and EU4 DLCs.

I hope the map won't be Mercator projection.
