I like how they've already got Swedish troops occupying Norway.

That's to get Johan motivated to finish the game.

And all it took was taking the map from someone else.

Considering that Sweden owned Norway in the Vicky period... :P

They have time to fix it.

Pretty, but HOI3 has really disappointed me.  I held out longer then most on this board.  But HOI3.  Ugh.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Well, for all we know, that part of Scandinavia that that map is supposed to represent is the northern coastline from Narvik over to Petsamo.  :)

Yeah HOI3 surely can't get your hopes up for this one. Then again there is EU3 with expansions, which is great (and looks to be even greater with the latest expansion).

But of course, there is also Vainglory of Nations coming.

I could never get into HOI games, for whatever reason.

I think the reason might be that they are not very good.

I wish they'd try something new instead of rehashing the same 4 titles.

Why?  When they did and made Rome it sucked.

Yeah, but their remakes are also sucking.

But that is only when they remake games that were not any good to begin with.  If it was just a matter of the remakes sucking then I could agree.  But making original games that suck is hardly an improvement over making remakes that suck.  At least with the remakes I know they suck...with original games you are not quite sure.

EU and its sequels have been good.  HoI and its sequels have not.
