Why is this game considered both the worst and simultaneously most complicated game paradox put out? Im playing it and it is genuinely fantastic. The "dreaded" order of battle system is awesome if you spend 3 minutes to understand basic military structure and rewards deep autism. The only things I miss from HoI4 are the industry system cause I personally liked the whole idea of having to actually manufacture equipment.

Fun for a game or two, but it becomes very repetitive. I also dislike how the Chink-Jap war simply doesn't exist, Japan just conquers China and Japan annexes the entire coast by 1939

Is there a mod that adds in super events?

Tards hate it becasue they are tards. They just want a big "I WIN AGAIN" button. Scholarly gentlemen of patrician tastes enjoy the game.

Tard, please, you simply lack imagination and brains. You can play Hoi3 in many different ways with each game being quite different from the other. Maybe if your grandfather stopped fucking your ass your brains would stop spilling out. Probably too late though.

>most complicated
It's easy to think that this game was not all that complicated now that HOI4 does such a better job of introducing the player to HOI3's mechanics (HOI3 basically has the same systems but everything is streamlined poorly). Back then, your choices were to either figure out OOB and whatnot in HOI3 or play Darkest Hour, so most people played Darkest Hour.

>worst
I can't really speak for if this game was considered the worst since I was one of the people who got scared off by the OOB system. The impression I got from the community is that Sengoku is the actual worst game because all anyone ever says about it is that it's a tech demo. People also like shitting on March of the Eagles as a funny maymay, but I feel like that's just the nu paradox fandom hating on something they haven't even tried playing.

Ah yes, here we have a prime example of the subhuman. Drooling incompetent idiot who finds even the most logical structures to be mind baffling. A very good reason to be pro abortion.

I like how it was just impossible to conquer a big nation without enough divisions. You would not be able to beat the Sovet Union with just a cavalry division like these strangee meme strats in HoI4. That alone puts it in another realm than it's successor for me.

Also this "click click click click" pinning down autism doesn't exist in HoI3. The organization of your Divisions will drain so quickly, if you try to play it that way. "Snaking" also is not wise. You need to actually have motorised fast units. Snaking with Infantry is just not that useful. The AI can deal with that.

I really wish there was some way to make HoI4 like HoI3. I like that there is more depth in terms of production and so on. But it's so extremely arcadey. In HOI3 you just wouldn't be able to even enter certain tiles with the lowest infrastructure. And even if you can enter tiles with low infrastructure, it's really not a good idea. Moving takes ages and you have such a huge supply malus. But in HoI4, at leas when it came out, you could just move quickly through the desert in Africa with no problem, except having a debuff.

>people complain how hoi4 can't properly portray stuff like guerilla warfare or a cold war scenario
>some reason nobody has tried making these kinds of mods in hoi3 even though it has more in depth mechanics
>>
>>2478005
None who praises hoi3 actually plays it. Ask them to post their hours in it and they will stop responding.
>>
>>2478011
Spoken like the truly stupid asswipe you are!
>>
>>2478161
Post your hours.
>>
>>2477401
Because it unironically filters people.
>>
>>2478011
I pirated it since giving Paradox money should be a crime
