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

YOU WILL REGRET THIS PURCHASE, THE GAME IS TERRIBLE DO NOT BUY.
This game is very badly coded and scripted. The pathfinding is sh!t and the mechanics make no sense or are buggy. Every time I play as the allies/comitern, they always get wrecked by the Axis even though I have historical accuracy turned on. Soviet Union/UK have lost in every campaign I've done, leaving me unable to cope as either as Sweden, Greece and/or any other European nation. The AI is extremely unpredictable and the difficulty is way too hard - even in recruit mode I still get screwed over no matter how much effort I put into it by 50+ divisions meanwhile I have no manpower. This game has been the greatest waste of my time and its a shame because it was a gift from my brother. Not only would I wish for a monetary refund for him, but a chronological refund for me if possible. 34 hours of try-harding and not a single victorious campaign. Screw you Paradox - fix your games.
Cool game, but i have ZERO clue on how to play this ♥♥♥♥💔
