Choosing the hottest, sunniest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere would be the best time to release a sit-down, in-depth strategy game.  :lol:

Fine as far as I'm concerned. Not only I'll be on vacation, so tons of spare time, but also only a madman goes out before sunset during August. It's usually around 35-40 º C ... in the shade. So you've got all day to play, all night to go out. :)

So anyone getting this?

I got an email from gamersgate saying that

QuotePre-order: Hearts of Iron III -
and get sprite packs for free!
   GamersGate offers an exclusive pre-order promotion for Paradox Interactive's Hearts of Iron III. Pre-orders for the upcoming WWII strategy title will also receive the DLC Sprite Pack. The Sprite Pack includes sixteen new sprites for use when playing with either the German or American armies. The new sprites consist of a combination of airplanes, tanks and ships.

Heats of Iron III will be released on August 7, 2009.

I totally would if I weren't broke at the moment.

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.

Yes.  I won't be able to stop myself.  :weep:

With a relatively recent beta copy they deemed worthy enough to write beta AARs with, has no naval or strategic AI, it is pretty safe to assume that 1.00 will suck.

Navies are the most important AIs of all.

yes. Pdox games are better if you buy a few patches post release. As we know by now, the real beta testers are the first wave of "must buy now" consumers.

It's been confirmed that wainting for a few patches is a must. And I preordered yesterday :cry:

"Production bars are similar to Hearts of Iron II with a new feature were by you can click on the light bar above each section so the slider auto adjust to the required amount of IC for that section. This feature is very helpful if you want to manually control your production but be warned you do need to check on this every few days and make sure the sliders are in the positions you want them to. Although an AI exists for this section, it is for the entire production section and not just the sliders. This is a feature that perhaps Paradox will re-introduce as a patch or enhancement that was very much appreciated in the Hearts of Iron II series."
