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

Все еще множество проблем старых версий остаются актуальными, вроде крайне слабого ИИ, усиление коего происходит за счет "бафов", а не за счет улучшения его тактического и стратегического потенциала. Экономический фактор в игре ощущается посредственно и все сводится к 1-2 вариантам действий. ДЛС не стоят своих денег и в 70% случаев напоминают даже не самые удачные модификации фанатов. В то время как работы фанатов действительно нередко обходят разработчиков, которые финансово заинтересованы в продукте, но которые редко прилагают соизмеримые с ними усилия. Сама игра ценна только как платформа для модов в первую очередь.

Really fun game. Its kind of hard to learn at the start but watching an online tutorial will help you greatly. The only real issue I have is the DLCs, extremely expensive and most of them only make small changes to the game the only real thing the DLC's do is "lock" some country's behind paywalls (You only get basic focus trees and you only get the full focus tree by buying the DLC for said country). Besides the problem with the DLC's the game is pretty good. I would recommend waiting until the game is on sale before buying it as the sales happen simi-often.
I am 500 hours in an still have no idea what I am doing, any way it's starting to get fun/
Was a nice game, but since the last game, it is not playable. Every once in a while, the game completely stops working when loading a save state and then crashes, reinstalling doesn't fix the issue. I will update this review, if the problem is resolved.
