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

I am bad but it is fun
Paratroopers now are playable, thank you , Paradox Games!
EDIT: My Steam hours on this game are only like 10% of the actual playtime I've spent on it. In reality I've been pirating it and playing it since '21. Do you like long singleplayer sessions? Do you like playing the game until every enemy country is gone? Well too bad because Paradox messed up so bad with recent updates that the more you load saves (no matter if it's an autosave) your game time will stutter more and more until slowing down to like 5 FPS just after a few loads in bigger mods. Before any Paradox bootlickers even respond with "iT's hApPEniNG OnLY bEcAuSE YOu'Re uSiNG mOdS!!!", it's not. While trying to find a solution I've also come across plenty of complaints that it's happening in vanilla too. As for fixes, I've installed Irony Mod Manager, deleted my "saved games" and "playlists" folders whenever starting a new save, ran the game several times, sacrificed several runs and, unlike for some lucky people who said this fixed the issue, that did not fix the issue for me. I'm only leaving this review here hoping someone reads it and it somehow ends up being read by one of the devs as they are unironically our only hope here (🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀).
