ruiend hoi3 legacy
no economics, focus trees, worse supply system, worse combat

no micromanaging every single unit for 8 hours of in-game 8 days.

Sounds like baby duck syndrome. I've heard people say the same thing about Victoria 3, but Victoria 3 is hundreds of times better, prettier and more interesting than the Victoria 2.

>Better
Victoria 3 is terrible, it's missing half of the systems of the original and your success is over reliant on your AI generals who can throw wars for no reason.
>More interesting
Steam reviews say otherwise
>Prettier
More pixels doesn't equal prettier. Victoria 2 was much better designed from a UI and UX standpoint and is overall better looking unless you only care about resolution or pixel count

Of course the Troon has terrible taste in games.

The only missing thing is the ability to build factories in other countries, but Paradox already announced what it will be added. The rest is not important.

your success is over reliant on your AI generals who can throw wars for no reason.

I've never played PDX games for the "success" or "winning". If I need something in the game, I can just give it to myself via console commands. The immersiveness and the ability to create my own story is much more fun.

Steam reviews say otherwise

Most reviews whine about it not being a Victoria 2. So, like I said, they have the Baby Duck Syndrome.

More pixels doesn't equal prettier. Victoria 2 was much better designed from a UI and UX standpoint and is overall better looking unless you only care about resolution or pixel count

Map in Victoria 2 looked meh and the interface was overloaded with unnecessary information. Victoria 3 has a full 3d map that directly reflects all your actions. This is already in a million times better than the boringness of Victoria 2.

Honestly I suck ass at HOI4. I used to like country simulation games but now I find it boring. I like FPS shooters and Minecraft more.

Victoria 2 is still pretty fun with The Great Combination, which greatly expands the map and decisions. Hoi4 is still fun too, I like seeing big map changes with not too much finiky crap.
However, too many trannies in paradox community, basically since forever. Broot let me sage

i really wanna get into hoi4 so i can become the 9k hour master strategist with an equivalent of a masters degree in ww2, vietnam war and civil war history simply by playing multiplayer matches but it is extremely complicated and i dont know how the fuck to enjoy this game

The game is extremely easy to learn.
Economy:
Just build civilian factories until you justify war then build military factories unless you are doing a weird strat.

Supply:
Just build what your troops need and nothing weird. Also don't end your outdated production until you have an equipment surplus.

Army Building
It used to be easy, just build 20 or 40 width infantry or half truck/tank armies, but they fucked it up so idk.

War:
Just learn how to micro.

Diplomacy:
lmao

one thing i would like is if japan and china got an overhaul, siam and Phillipines get a focus tree. asia has so much room for improvement, might be the next dlc i hope. maybe a minor usa rework

I play Age of History 2 instead because I can't be bothered to learn all the complex shit in paradox games.
