Hearts of Iron II

[SwordsMaster]

Hmm, just got the game a few days ago, and already changed history:

As sweden, helped the republicans in Spain win the civil war by feeding them resorces, took a few (pointless) islands from Finland (at the same time as the russian attack), and now I'm reinforcing my armies and redeploying to my western border, the tactical bombers ready to strike Oslo or Copenhagen.


Only one question I still haven't cleared out: How do you gain bellicousness (or whatever is that called) you need to declare war yourself? So far the only way for me to wage war has been through the choices on the messages...

Another question that just came to mind: Is there any way to speed up the movement of infantry?

Does the game still contain scripted events that force you down a certain a path? This was, for me, the biggest turnoff of HOI1: the choices in the events were so ridiculously unbalanced you were almost always forced to take the "historically correct" decision.
Have they improved the diplomatic model, again one of those things of HOI1 that I really didn't dig.

To dow another country all one needs to do is to go into the dipomacy menu and select 'declare war.' You may have a non-agression pact with your neighbors which may stop you. I suppose you could also be out of money, but I doubt it.

There still are events like the treaty of munich although the diplomatic system is somewhat improved. You still get things like the ai never surrenduring except by event though.

Weird. I made sure i didn´t have non aggr pacts, and I have a couple of thousand in the bank,but still the 2declare war" option is greyed out....

there is a rules for democracies : you can only attack foes that have a level of "belligerence". In other words, if your neighbour is a peaceful hippie country, you can't attack it as long as you're a democracy. Get dictatorial, or target already belligerent countries.

amount required depends on your interventionism level.

Beware, though : the more you annex, the higher your belligerence. The higher your belligerence, the more countries could DOW you.....
