WWII Masterpiece
I picked up HOI3 a few years ago on Steam and frankly I couldn't keep my hands of it. It's the only game on record that has forced me to take unplanned leave from work because I was gaming through the night. The game is very addictive and very fun to play once you learn how. At first, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I was just researching and building up massive armies using the template divisions provided by the game. Then I had a talk with a friend who was a veteran HOI3er. He explained the importance of army divisions (what brigades belong to each division and how to combine them to get the best combined arms bonus). Creating specialized divisions for the type of enemy and terrain you were encountering became crucial. The army structure: Divisions into Army Corps into Armies into Army Groups into Theatres becomes essential and is best planned ahead. Every time I start a new play, I spend hours only doing the organization of the army. Assigning the right leaders to the right divisions (yes, leaders have traits, and since "Their finest hour" DLC, they are also gaining new traits as their division is fighting) is both fun and tedious. Yes, the learning curve for this game is pretty steep. It was my first experience with the HOI series and I had to watch hours of tutorials on-line to get some real grip on the basics. Micromanagement is at it's finest here, but the game still allows some of the actions to be controlled by AI, and it's doing a good job. The only major power I played with was Germany(Brits, US and Soviets will follow...). As a minor power, I really enjoyed playing as Romania. Once I've stayed completely neutral and invested everything in technology and by 1946 I was the only country to have the atomic bomb. Another time I allied myself with the Germans and conquered half of Europe. Possibilities are endless. Simply put, I love this game. P.S. If you do invest in this game the DLCs are totally worth it.
