Expansion #2 is on it's way.

[CDMan477]

I know many people are down on HOI III, but with SF I actually find it a very enjoyable game. Paradox has announced another expansion is in the works. Not too much is known as of yet, but I'm excited none the less. For the few others who are enjoying the game still, I thought you'd be interested.

It needs more features from Victoria II.

What features do you want from victoria in HOI3?? bare in mind that the game span is less than a decade with hoi and its a century with victoria so very different styles and scopes.

Anyway looking forward to this (and not ill have to make compatable all the modding of it i have been doing lol) hopefully they will tweak supply while they are at it

Everything lol. HOI is simply not fun the way it is. For one they need to fix the FAILLLL map(look at alaska and russia. Both should be twice larger.. thrice in alaska's case). They also need to fix the damn factions.. Come on, Hitler would have no problem with betraying his allies. And while I know how to remove nations from a faction via tweaking the files there should be an option to do in-game. Lazy paradox. I'll think of more stuff later.

Ah yes being able to kick nations from the axis would be nice not sure about making russia bigger lol took me forever to cross that giant and make russia have bitter peace lthough i play a modded combo of ICE little august storm and some of my own dabblings adds alot to the game and cant say i have had the 1940 crash i always play road to war(as i am now currently as germany )

More decisions is always good (hence the use of ICE and some AUgust storm plus many of my own added decisions and units)

I just hope its as big a leap (if not bigger) as semper fi was in terms of added content and play value

This is jerkoff material for me, if they manage to have the Iron Cross mod to work with this then i would nerdgasm all over the place.
I love Paradox.

They need to add events that form the new countries that the Nazi's wanted to create like the ReichsKommisariats in Russia, Greater Arab Union, pro-nazi South Africa etc.
Just as many events to make it indepth historically an a-historically (the things nations had planned but never came into fruition etc)

This means that when it's out, SF goes cheap. And I buy.

^Not necessarily. Divine Wind has been out a month or so and HttT is still close to $20 on GG. The prices will go down based off of sales more than anything else.

Well you missed the Steam sale when DI came out on Steam last week. They had EU3 and HttT both for $6. EU3 was $2 and HttT was $4.

Yeah, I don't have any steam versions of Paradox games because Steam for whatever reason takes forever to release patches and expansions for Paradox's games. Steam has some compatibility issues sometimes as well if you originally bought the boxed or gamersgate version and visa versa.

Sweet, I loved HoI3, jsut that little bit more then 2.
Hopefully the expansion helps fix the rediculous slowdown time in the late game.

I think they are getting much better about patches. DW was out on Steam about a month after it was released. With the sales that Steam has I usually will wait.

Paradox titles are always on Gamers Gate first becasue Gamers Gate and Paradox are owned by the same company, one owns the other, or something like that. I can't remember what their relationship is but they are very close so they want to sell stuff on GG before Steam.

Yes Steam does not work with retail copies or GG copies. If you buy it one way I would only buy expansions that way but with the Steam sales it can usually be nice to have it all on there. Plus you can gift the game to you friends on Steam so they can play with you.

Adding Cold War stuff should be on the list too, i hate it that the game stops when you conquer Germany.
Because i'd like to form East Germany and go straight into the Cold War.

I think they said no expanded time line for this expansion, though I could be wrong. Can't this sort of thing be modded or does the game actually end when Germany falls?

[Eneru112]

LOL he plays an ally country. LOL!

[Augment]

Ive played Germany dozens of times, Sir.

[Kanaric]

I have lost all interest in this game for quite some time. HOI2 is clearly still superior so this expansion had better do quite a lot for me to buy it.

I am with you Kanaric. Although HOI3 has many great features there are just too many problems right now. I know SF fixed some things but I just don't feel the need to rush out and buy SF to get a working game. So now they are making another expansion? Wow, just give me a patch that makes the game work and THEN I will decide if I want to give you more $$$ for your new "features".

HOI2 is still a better game imo.

I think there is a way to mod the end date. It lets you keep playing but no more events fire and I think that air and naval missions don't work. I am not sure about that and would have to check the official HOI3 forums.

Isnt it already stated in the paradox forums that 1.4 is the final version for straight HOI3 to get more from the game ya kinda need to buy semper fi although i didnt regret getting it hell support the company they a struggling little guy and there games are cheap (heck i bought all the sprite packs to for eye candy an cause i like to use sprites and the varation makes it easier to tell units apart, although i have sprites to set very low down viewing so a little move up and counters appear for ease of info.)
