So, is this game playable yet?

If not, what's the main problem/s with it?

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's quite playable, but it suffers the same problems as HOI2. Air power can be ignored completely. The AI is not capable of engaging in massive naval invasions (don't hold your breath for D-Day) or defending against minor player naval invasions (Sealion is much too easy). The AI seems to handle the game just fine with respect to ground wars between two ground powers such as France, Germany, and the USSR, but USA, Japan, Italy, and the UK never perform quite as they should.

I love the HQ hierarchy system. Half the fun of each new game is renaming and reorganizing the command structure to my own liking.

I just wanna say "What the fuck" to this. 3 times in a row and mods are still doing it better?

Yeah, it's stupid. However I bought the game to play Germany and the Soviet Union so it works well enough. :blush:

They should just put all their energy into creating an East Front game.

Playing Japan, I stab the Bolshies in the back with the KMT when the German Computer AI assrapes the Russians. Bitter peace fires, and I get a chunk of the coast. I feel ripped off, but start withdrawing the KMT. 1 month later, a defeated Russia attacks Germany. With a good sized chunk of the KMT still marching out of Russia.

And thus a fun game goes down the drain as the game slows to a crawl and is boned by stupidity.

Major bugs fixed my ass.

There's long been mandatory mods for the bitter peace event.

Paradox forum refuses my steam HOI3 cd-key, therefore, I am a filthy pirate-customer, so I don't bother with their forums.

Or buying Paradox games anymore.

Why on Earth did you use Steam? I steer clear of that clusterfuck; Gamersgate suits me just fine.
