Hearts of Iron III

[Fixiwee]

Too bad there will be no doomsday scenario in it.

The game looks promising, but I just don't see why HoI needs a third game when Vicky so clearly needs a second.

Exactly.

After the laughter that was EU: Rome, PI needs money and return of prestige of actually making good complex games.

Indeed. And the HoI (1+2+addons) brand sold far more copies than Vicky ever did. Plus the WW2 setting reaches a broader audience than the empire-building of the 19th century in Vicky.

As much as I prefer the Vicky setting myself for more strategic openness, I don't see a Vicky 2 coming in the near future...

[Csargo]

I agree with CA and Rhythmic(aka Psychonaut) I would rather have a Vicky 2 then another HoI2, but I of the Storm is right.

Yeap. We'll quite possibly see a Crusader Kings 2 before we see a Vicky 2.

Question- what needs to be improved so much about Vicky? The only thing I'd really like is to have the option to force-create new states from an empire following a victorious war. And maybe some improved graphics, I guess...

[Jolt]

There's a bucketload of things that need improvement in Vicky 2. Many more than needed improvement from EU 2 to 3.

First thing that crosses my mind is the GUI. I could talk for hours, but I need to sleep.

More territories (ala HoI 3), a more complex and in-depth colonial system, an expanded political system (Though Ricky helped this) and yes new states would be good.

Plus perhaps something more akin to HoI2-style divisions.

Try Vae Victis expansion it redeem the game greatly (if you like character and senate management). Still not as grand as EUIII but i did enjoy this expansion, i even rank it better than R:TW.

I'm looking forward to HoI3 as i've skipped HoI2 and remained to HoI1. A Vicky2 would have been more welcomed although.

To see the FAQs section on the Paradox forums, you need to have registered your game. I'm not sure how that is done, but it involves the serial number.

HoI III, my precious

Hokus, pokus, thread ressurectus.

Call me fussy or whatever, but I much prefer HOI:2.

[Subotan]

Probably the most difficult, complex and bewildering game I've ever played.
