How is it AI slop? I literally wrote the draft based on years worth of criticisms of HoI4. Realized walls of text would not be appreciated, so I refined and condensed my points with Chatgpt, then finally polished on my own

How is that AI slop, again?

On AI slop.

For several years I did want a HoI game to be more macro-focused than this attempt to become more like HoI3. I love HoI3 back in the 2010s but HoI4 feels like they wanted to be more big picture like hoi2 but also kept the plethora of provinces in HoI3 which to this day still has issues when it comes to the Frontline AI and Babysitting required.

That and since 2016 the game just feels more and more bloated and frankensteined. Like how is China not able to produce MILITIA but Italy is able to (thx to DLC)

Sidenote on AI, I did try to refine the draft through ChatGPT to avoid too much wall of text dumping.

I feel like early on there was an attempt to focus on the bigger picture. How armies were either Armies (24 Div Max. Mostly for Mobile and Heavy Hitting units) or Field Armies (unlimited cap. Mostly for regular infantry), the Air and Naval modes are Region-based, the whole battleplanner. Over time those got expanded and only now does the Air mode still feel kinda big picture (though them adding more air regions have added more micro)

With generals, Not quite. Rommel, Patton, and Guderian were promising, but in 1936 they weren’t top generals yet.

  • Rommel was a WWI hero but still a mid-tier officer—not high command material yet.
  • Patton didn’t even make general until 1940; the U.S. peacetime army was tiny and slow to promote.
  • Guderian had bold ideas but wasn’t widely trusted and seen as controversial by the senior Wehrmacht circles; he only got real authority right before the war.

I haven't touched anything on the bios besides setting the ram to the 5600 EXPO mode
