Instead they were just aimlessly flying around my own lands while the Polish air force cut my army to shreds.World War II is anything uneventful, but what if you could also throw zombies in the mix? The Infection - A HOI IV Scenario mod turns the undead horde into a power that, if left unchecked, easily shambles its way towards world domination. I understood that much at least! The problem? I assigned all my planes to the East Germany theater, thinking that meant they’d launch attacks from there. Instead, you assign each air unit to a theater. Training units also takes months and months, so the whole time I thought I was “making new troops” I was actually just “throwing piles of rifles into a warehouse somewhere in Eastern Germany.”Ģ) Germany starts with a number of aircraft, but you don’t directly control these forces. What I didn’t know is that these items then just basically lay in storage unless you are actively training units to use them. You designate factories (another resource you build in your country) to build items for your troops. Once the war started, however, I found myself thrown off by two factors.ġ) You have to simultaneously manage equipment for troops and raise the troops themselves. During today’s PDXCON reveal stream, Paradox Interactive marked the 5th anniversary of Hearts of Iron IV, before dropping a teaser trailer for the next expansion to the game: No Step Back. Since this is World War II and not the entirety of the colonial era, these periods of time are reduced from “years” in Europa Universalis to mere months or even days in Hearts of Iron IV. The game runs at a steady pace, but you can pause at any point to make decisions (at least when you’re playing alone), and troop movements or research take a set period of time. Like Paradox’s other grand strategy titles, the game is sort of a hybrid of what you’d expect from real-time and turn-based strategy games. Paradox wanted us to start as Germany in 1936 because it’s a fast-paced start with an immediate objective (capture Poland) and a fair number of troops at your disposal (in contrast to starting as Sweden, for instance). My time with Hearts of Iron IV didn’t go much better. We’ll restart the game so you can get back in.” The Paradox team laughed at me and basically said “Yeah, that’s a horrible country to try and start as. I decided to try and play as the Golden Horde, at which point I was promptly conquered by my neighbors in the first five minutes and booted from the game. The first time I demoed Europa Universalis IV the dev team wanted to play a bit of multiplayer with us. Ideally, a Paradox grand strategy title is something you ease into, like training for a marathon-except instead of limbering up and gradually building endurance, you’re sitting in a desk chair for hours on end sipping scotch and occasionally muttering to yourself about tariffs. Demoing a Paradox game is probably the worst trial-by-combat I’ve ever experienced in this industry.
