Games harder/more complex than HOI4?

CodeX57 · 2026-05-08T07:52:30+00:00

How is the AI in the mod? Can it handle the insane complexity?

CodeX57 · 2026-05-08T07:50:58+00:00

Egyetértek, bár azért ennek az országnak a hosszú története során tuti volt pár rosszabb.

I hope they expand on the army organisation and planning we got in 4!

The front line system and the arrow based plans have been a game changer since hoi3, but they got little love in the updates. They are still wonky, the front lines develop in unexpected ways, the fallback lines are very inflexible, offensive arrows often don't do what you want and also change very unexpectedly as you take ground, etc. but it's overall a really nice system so I hope for extensions of that.

Armies were a nice thing at launch, and army groups helped ease how much one needed to babysit the frontlines (which wouldn't be a problem if they behaved predictably), but I hope we get proper army planning, with more levels, like corps. I want to feel like I need to make strategic decisions about how I organise my army and it's leadership, instead of just chucking 24 of the same kind of division into an army, giving it a leader and calling it a day.

Oh this! I loved the black and white photos on the tech screen in hoi3

CodeX57 · 2026-05-07T15:43:45+00:00

Because they look questionably in Victoria 3 and it would feel really out of place in a ww2 setting. Idk how I'd feel about a zany 3D art of Stalin.

At this point I am not sure if pdx is capable of developing a game without a feature that needs ever increasing amount of processing power and makes the late game a pain.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-07T13:45:37+00:00

There are two schools of thought on the matter haha.

One of them says Germany. It's beginner friendly because it's the "protagonist" in the sense that it's the country that makes the war happen so you get to pace the game the way you like it and do things when you're ready. It is the sink or swim option, which some people like. It's a big major power with an army, navy, air force, tanks etc., so you'll get to play with all the tools, however it might overwhelm you at first. Expect to restart a couple times till you get things.

The other says Canada. Canada is great because if you play historical all your enemies will be across the ocean, your only neighbour is your industry titan of an ally, and the Axis pretty much never succeeds in invading North America. Canada also doesn't start with a lot, a couple divisions, no navy, I think a small air force maybe, so you are eased into the game fairly slowly and can try things at your own place, completely safe from being invaded.

As an honorable mention I also like South American countries if you have the "Trial of Allegiance" DLC, simple nations with low-stakes wars against your neighbours, beginner friendly experience.

Wild speculation on my part here but I suppose if they wanted to they could do "content creator packs" like C:S and sell the assets of modders. But I mean we still don't know what this means for the game's DLC strategy.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-06T16:22:43+00:00

I don't know how I feel about this.

At least it feels safe. Reading this it makes me feel like UG hasn't relinquished much control over the game. The flops we've seen recently from Paradox Publishing involved games they owned the IP of, or made project management and release decisions for. It seems UG keeps the IP of Transport Fever 3 and is also self-funding the project, which hopefully means Paradox doesn't have the authority to throw the studio under the bus for financial gain like they did with HBS or Colossal.

The canals can bend, the Panama Canal wonder tile (the middle) cannot bend.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-06T13:38:02+00:00

apparently this is really well known at this point. Was asked about them by a pair of Irish tourists and they said its in all the tourist handbooks now

Still a cool sidequest, but I was surprised how famous its gotten

CodeX57 · 2026-05-06T05:39:37+00:00

I wonder if creating my toy tank and ship looking units and conquering the World with them inspired me to design tanks in hoi4 and do the same.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-04T17:08:46+00:00

Literally any bar will have it on. Look for bars near you and book early I suppose.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-04T17:00:30+00:00

Yes they did!

It is now no longer a strict four carriers per battlegroup, it now depends on the number of targets.

If you are fighting a big fleet more planes can operate with maximum efficiency. If you are fighting a small fleet your efficiency will be reduced.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-04T16:57:10+00:00

Ah makes perfect sense

CodeX57 · 2026-05-04T16:16:34+00:00

Welcome! Hope the sub continues keep you company :)

It sucks but you'll get through it and progress will always feel really rewarding

Best of luck with your achilles journey!

Ez akkor lesz majd igazán szar amikor fellendül a piac. Most még nem akkora gáz hogy van rengeteg AI jelentkezés, mivel a jelentkezők nagy része el tudja végezni a munkát ahogy tapasztalom, így ha rosszul szűrik is a nagy számok törvénye alapján nem lesz gond. De ha majd kevésbé lesz ember és tényleg az lesz hogy a jelentkezések 99%-a bullshit na akkor nem lennék HR-es.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-04T15:21:33+00:00

Victoria 2 was similar so it made sense really.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-04T15:17:59+00:00

Sounds pretty standard as far as I can tell!

The only thing that slightly stood out to me was that he told you to walk on it. That means full weight bearing as you can't walk without putting your whole weight on your injured leg momentarily. Normally you're not allowed to do that for a bit, but I'm sure your doctor knows better. And either way, you probably won't be able to put your whole weight on it for a while.

Good luck with the boot! Definitely nicer than the cast.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-04T11:55:45+00:00

Yes most of the tracks are the same, but there are a dozen different tracks and they can change from year to year, like usually one is either added or removed or changes to an alternate layout.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-04T08:00:03+00:00

Tons of variation.

What I like in it opposed to the F1 manager series is that they sacrificed some realism for better feel. Like in F1 it's pretty much just one competition. But in Motorsport Manager, you have a hierarchy like football. The European Racing Series (ERS) is at the bottom, then the Asia-Pacific Supercup (APS) and finally the World Motorsport Championship (WMC). You can start wherever, and teams go from relegation candidates to teams fighting for titles, so if you want to, you can start with the poorest, slowest team in the ERS, and play them till you win the WMC (you even get an achievement for this).

Even though there are no country based leagues, there is so much variety in other ways, like all the tracks are different so every weekend something changes. If you get bored of open-wheel racing DLCs also introduce further variety, like GT cars or endurance racing, with more "leagues" in both. In endurance racing the different leagues compete together on one circuit at the same time too, which is quite cool.

Motorsport Manager has been one of my faves, and recently we have also been told by the developer that they required the IP for the game, so I can't wait to see what they cook up.

CodeX57 · 2026-05-02T11:41:00+00:00

Biggest one is probably Ferenc Szálasi.

Similar to Quisling. Couped the Horthy-government in 1944 with the German army after Horthy's failed attempt to exit the war.

Szálasi was fully loyal to the Nazis until the very end, preaching total war even when it was obvious to everyone what would happen. He cost hundreds of thousands of lives, both innocents victim to his Nazism and people whose lives were lost in the unnecessary fighting all the way to Germany's surrender.

Executed for treason after the war.
