Alright, can we put the memes aside for a moment and all agree that, for what it set out to do, HoI4 is a success? It gave us a WWII grandstrat free from all the archaic bullshit of Darkest Hour, and also much easier to get into than HoI3. Can anyone here honestly say they enjoy wasting an hour to fix their OoB every time they start a game of HoI3? Not to mention that, rather than needing to tediously micromanage industry like in other HoI games, HoI4's industry is both streamlined as well as more intuitive than the previous games. Yeah, it's true that HoI4 leads to more "ahistorical" scenarios, but isn't that the point? Why even bother playing the game if the outcome is predetermined form the start? Moreover, from a pure gameplay perspective, giving the player more options, whether they be historical or ahistorical, is a total success. Sure, Mosley ruling Britain never could have happened in reality, but it's fun to have the ability to easily do so in video game form.

Overall, I feel that HoI4 is getting a lot of undeserved hate simply because it isn't a total copy of HoI3 with slightly better graphics. Of COURSE the game is different - HoI3 already exists, there would be no point to making the same game again! HoI4 may be different, but that's by design, not by some unforeseen flaw, and it should be celebrated for the changes it made, not hated on.

Free from all the strategy. Build 7x inf and 2x artillery divisions as Poland and take over the world.

>Yeah, it's true that HoI4 leads to more "ahistorical" scenarios, but isn't that the point?
No, it's not.

>Why even bother playing the game if the outcome is predetermined form the start?
To shape history in your own way within world war 2. Not playing fantasy "world war 2" from the start of the game. But it's okay, they included a "historical focus" tick box-which does nothing

On thing is for the player to shape the history around him in a realistic and plausible world war two scenario another is 20 japanese divisions fighting in Norway in 1940 and 54 Romanian divisions crossing the Soviet Union (without asking for mil access because the Soviet Union is in war with the allies over some bullshit and this somehow means they let anyone cross their country as long as they're fighting the allies as well cause fuck realism) to fight in Burma.

>Moreover, from a pure gameplay perspective, giving the player more options, whether they be historical or ahistorical, is a total success.
What options are available to the player that were not available in previous iterations?

>Overall, I feel that HoI4 is getting a lot of undeserved hate simply because it isn't a total copy of HoI3 with slightly better graphics
No, it's shit, and so was HoI3.

>HoI4 may be different, but that's by design, not by some unforeseen flaw, and it should be celebrated for the changes it made, not hated on.
Wonderful changes such as Italy sending 100 divisons trough the English channel to reinforce Ethiopia while Italy itself is being invaded by the UK. Celebrate it.

Khan of khans before 1300 (on 2.4.beta patch). It is indeed a good idea to give almost all the counties to 3 regular republic vassals plus the tengri church. They are over vassal limit and can't threaten you much.

arumba bump

when you try to imprison a vassal and fail,
and everyone joins the revolt, even vassals that are in your prison already,
and then you realize winning only imprisons the enemy leader

sometimes this game is just an exercise in frustration.

>>146805296
+25 Crushed a Major Rebellion is nice

The moral of the story is of course to keep most of your vassals satiated so that you will never face a mass uprising

Would you support a HOI4 UI patch and/or mod which adds little icons to the National Focus trees which indicate which Foci give you war justifications, political power, buildings, etc? Like a little colored circle below each one, something subtle but informative.

Why can`t I justify or declare war anymore ?

Even when I get war justifications through events they don't register and I can't declare.

I thought it was because I had a anti-military govt at first but I switched to Fascist to see if it changed and it's not that. Am I missing something ?
