TRYING HOI3 FOR THE FIRST TIME!

[@senireye.5597]

it looks like a mix between hoi4 and vic2

[@baaaseman]

Yeah it definitely did in some ways

[@jakestopics]

HOI 3 looks just as confusing as HOI 4

[@baaaseman]

It's more

[@deeznoots6241]

As somebody who understands and has played tons of HOI3, its definitely more confusing than HOI4

[@baaaseman]

Fr, I thought it would be less confusing having played a lot of hoi4

[@Gamer-is6ew]

Looks is a massive understatement and I love it

[@zanchiso1934]

Also it doesn't have dlc i play it, because my pc can't run hoi4, but this game with dlc is much more fun

[@DamonNomad82]

As someone who was introduced to the HOI series with HOI3, my first thought was "Prepare to be instantly overwhelmed by extreme complexity and way too many irons in the fire!"

[@baaaseman]

Lmao definitely, I think it might have helped a bit that I played hoi4 and vic2 lol

I wouldn't say a lot

[@VynalDerp]

my first experience in hearts of iron series was hearts of iron 3 black ice, well before hearts of iron 4 came out. never figured out how to play tbh, winning wars was more luck than skill (if at all)

[@baaaseman]

I can bet, even without black ice this is difficult

[@deeznoots6241]

On one hand minor nations struggle due to lacking leadership and therefore always fall behind on tech, on the other hand just organising the military of any major nation(outside of the USA who start with very little) often takes an hour before you unpause the game Edit: oh god he has the unit models on rather than nato counters

That you can set some parts as "ai controlled" I think is the thing we missing in hoi4. You could just be the general and the AI do the politics etc. I miss that

[@baaaseman]

Lol yeah it was a nice touch

[@gamertardguardian1299]

We needed that in hoi2/darkest hour. For me at least, the gameplay was incredibly slow even after i got used to all the mechanics. Really wish i could just have AI manage research in those games

[@baaaseman]

Yeah that makes sense

[@neoabsolutist7048]

I loved HOI3 back in the day, air warfare was definitely the worst part about it. Try Darkest Hour for Hearts of Iron 2 . IMO its the best of the series .

I remember playing this years ago and I got nukes onto my icbms as Germany (took till about ‘60 to get the rockets across the Atlantic from my Iceland bases) and carpet nuked America because my invasions kept failing and their navy was insane until 1973 so we just launched waves of carriers and nukes at each other till I finally pushed them out of South America, landed in Canada, and lost insane manpower pushing them slowly back and launching waves of nuclear missles against their frontline, the battle of Chicago was like Stalingrad scale but with icbms raining down every time I needed to push or stop a counter attack, all the while they nuked my bases in the Atlantic and South American allies until they finally capped with every major city an irradiated mess. Good times

HoI3 was... never the most stable game. It always crashed a lot, even back when it was still recieving support from Paradox. One thing that I recommend is running it from the shortcut in your Steam documents instead of running in the Steam Launcher. That made it crash less regularly for me. I also recommend trying out Darkest Hour! It's a really good game with both ww1 and ww2 scenarios

[@baaaseman]

Might try that out to see if it runs better

[@ゆっくり青蛙子]

As a old but amateur player of hoi, I started at hoi3. Compared with 4, the third one has more advantages and more flaws: Better navy and air battle system. Way better detailed and cleaner tech system. Battlefield controlling is more realistic and historical. The way much convenient AI agency mechanism. (Next are flaws) Almost useless political and ideology system. Very restricted diplomatic operational room. Worse data processing and software supporting which makes your computer stuck often in late game. If it wasn't hoi4 came, hoi3 has more potential in its own special mechanisms unless fix those tons of bugs and disadvantage. For me a nerd of history and military, hoi3 is more attractive than hoi4, just like crusader kings 2 better than crusader kings 3, let alone vc2 than vc3 obviously.

[@baaaseman]

Yeah newer paradox titles does seem to prioritize being easier to get into for new players which does make for some simplification in a lot of areas

Is hoi2 better? Would you recommend trying it?

[@lewistivey]

@@baaaseman if I was you skip 2 and play darkest hour which is basically a stand alone hoi2 with tons more content and waaaay more historically accurate. Lots more map tiles too. In some ways it’s better than hoi4 because of the events like you can trigger peace treaties without having to conquer everyone

[@baaaseman]

Nice have gotten a few people recommending darkest hour so might try it out on a video soon

[@lewistivey]

@@baaaseman I recommend it highly. It’s a little bit dated now compared to Hoi4 but the post-war borders alone make it worth it. An example of if Germany beats USSR you get the “Bitter peace” event which is basically a surrender where Germany annexes everywhere up to the Urals. Which prolongs the game because eventful Stalin will sometimes try to take it back. The game goes well into the Cold War too, I believe the end date is 1962 and the technologies match up to it. Oh yeah and it has multiple start dates such as WW1, 1933 all the way up to late 1944

Wow even WW1 that sounds like I need to try it hehehe
