Hearts of Iron 4 night

So I was thinking. We should do a HOI4 night and conquer the world !
Who’s in for some world domination ?

I’m always up for a paradox game. Count me in for child murder, too.

[justify]Currently, I find HoI4 still very much lacking in essential features and rather barebone. However, the experience gets a lot better with Black Ice mod. So a modded game I’d be up for.

Otherwise, I too will happily murder my underage heirs and bathe in their blood. Or be an imperialist pig devil in EU4.[/justify]

I heard a ton of good things about Black Ice but never used it. I am willing to try it and have a coop game going :slight_smile:

[justify]Oh, how about Stellaris? Got an amazing mod list I’m sure you guys would enjoy as well.[/justify]

Stellaris is 40% off on steam right now… Very tempted to give it a shot.

Stellaris early into mid is good. Later is a little lacking, but if there’s a mod list that helps it’s good by me. Haven’t played in a while, though.

Don’t have it unfortunately :frowning:
What do you guys say about doing a HOI run starting next Thursday ?

[justify]It’s right now on Sale, highly recommend Stellaris.

I can do a HOI4 session by next Thursday. But with my RL obligations I won’t be able to commit to a fixed weekly schedule. It’s gonna be a bit more flexible on my side, so I won’t be able to make it every Thursdays.[/justify]

I think I’ll get HOI once it gets on sale

[justify]For those interested, here is my Steam mod lists for Stellaris.

For HoI4 currently, I believe you only need Black Ice mod to have fun.[/justify]

Mod installed and ready to conquer the world next Thursday. Are we doing coop, smaller countries and start Our own faction or ?

I’ll get it all ready. I’m good with small country co-op.

[justify]How small are we talking here? Because playing as a one territory state is often really boring. I’d suggest we could go for Slavic states or minor Asian Countries. Or maybe "medium" sized factions such as Italy and Japan.

I’d also be fine with a classic Axis game: Italy, Japan and Germany as you can really be aggressive and push front lines. My previous experiences where I played as Allies it was always quite frustrating for France and Poland players while the British dude would turtle on the island after the Battle for Europe was lost.

Also I recommend to try out a short game of Black Ice mod on your own to get used to the changes and different interface.[/justify]

Depends on how many players we have. I definitely don’t want to play as allies. Something communist or fascist is more fun IMO. A full on axis game is fun or we can fight the Japanese war as the whole of Asia.

Yeah, I was thinking balkans or similar. Axis could be fun and if it’s just the three of us that’s fine. Otherwise communist (ussr + china + ?) Is good too. I’ll have a quick look today at the interface and all that. The mod wasn’t very good at telling me what changes it had made.

I’m up for it. Worth mentioning that back in HoI3 with Black ICE, we used to be 4 guys controlling the soviet union together, in full coop.

I think we could get away with three players in the soviet union, with role repartition and stuff.

[justify]Does HoI4 still support multiple players controlling one nation?[/justify]

Yup. I played a Germany session with Kaleo. With the numbers we would pribably have enough for 2 nations, at least.

Looking forward to it !
