Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.
No United States chart position — it charts only in the markets below.
About
Take charge of history’s greatest war machines in Hearts of Iron IV, a grand strategy wargame that challenges your strategic abilities and political insight. Refight World War II at the head of nation from the time period, building up an industrial powerhouse and a diplomatic alliance that will effectively wage war on ideological opponents.
Hearts of Iron IV is more than a historical simulation. Alternate historical paths open up with almost every decision you make, from small ones such as where to launch your attack to crack open Fortress Europe, to large ones, such as whether to re-establish democracies or long forgotten monarchies.
In Hearts of Iron IV, you can plan the military strategy almost down to the rivets, as you design division templates for your armies, research new modes of production and means of destruction, set out factory instructions and pursue political objectives. Almost no part of the war goes untouched as you guide a nation of your choice through humanity’s darkest hour.
Death or Dishonor: focuses on eastern and central European middle powers
Together for Victory: focuses on British Commonwealth nations
Waking the Tiger: focuses on China and Japan
Man the Guns: focuses on naval features and alternate history paths for the United States

game ruined my life,wish ive never played it you will never understand the navy mechanichs unless you dont go outside and touch some grass
I'm new to Paradox games as a whole, and accordingly, I grabbed them all (the newest in each franchise w/ dlc) near simultaneously. Of them, HOI4 has a couple of things going for it that has me playing it the most. It's not the timeframe - if that were the case, my pecking order would go Europa, Crusader, Imperator, Vic, HOI. The first thing is that it seems the most accessible. Maybe that's because it's the most modern, and I more intuitively grasp the foundation than say, of the Middle Ages or Renaissance - not sure. The other thing is that each country/leader is aesthetically different from one another. I'm a fan. I'm a fan of all the games, but I'm a fan of HOI4 the most. Anyhow, time to be the guy Fox News warns grandma about, and strive for a global Stalinist/Communist utopia. Keep reading reviews - I'll be defeating fascists and capitalists and seizing the means of production.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 19: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

Купил эту игру, чтобы подтянуть историю, но в итоге Гитлер у меня стал демократом, Троцкий вернулся в СССР на медведе, а Люксембург держит в страхе всю Европу. У меня наиграно больше 750 часов, из которых две трети я пытался понять, как вообще работает флот, а остальное время развивал в себе тотальную гинофобию. Хойка полностью сломала моё восприятие реальности, и теперь я панически боюсь женщин. Когда девушка подходит со спины и обнимает меня, у меня в голове начинает орать сирена о том, что мои войска попали в котёл, снабжение отрезано, а организация упала до нуля, из-за чего я сразу начинаю судорожно искать пути для прорыва окружения. С женщинами абсолютно невозможно планировать действия, ведь ты не можешь навести на неё мышку и посмотреть, через сколько дней у неё завершится фокус на объявление войны из-за немытой посуды. У них нет понятного древа фокусов и таймеров, что вводит любого хойщика в состояние глубокого экзистенциального ужаса. Любое свидание в ресторане превращается в экономический кризис, потому что мой внутренний калькулятор мгновенно переводит стоимость ужина в военные заводы и фабрики. Зачем мне тратить ресурсы на неэффективный пакт о ненападении, если на эти деньги я мог бы построить пять дивизий тяжёлых танков и покрасить всю Азию. Поход в торговый центр превращается в ад логистики, где инфраструктура региона равна нулю, уровень истощения моих ног растёт с каждой минутой, а её сумочка работает как чёрная дыра, сжирающая весь мой стратегический резерв. Я наизусть знаю идеальный шаблон пехотной дивизии с артиллерией и лопатой, но какой шаблон у женщин, и почему у них в роте поддержки всегда идут подруги, наносящие колоссальный урон по моей ментальной организации, я не пойму никогда. В этой игре можно объявить войну Албании всем миром, выучить географию Эритреи и красить карту в приятные цвета, но взамен ты получаешь два часа сна в сутки, подозрения от мамы в том, что ты состоишь в радикальной секте, и непреодолимое желание прожать тактическое отступление под одеяло при звуке женского голоса. Ставлю десять котлов из десяти, а если встретите на улице девушку, сразу объявляйте мобилизацию, отступайте к укрепрайонам и не принимайте её мирный договор.
