Hearts of Iron IV

Hearts of Iron IV challenges players to face the brutal conflict of World War II in a multifaceted grand strategy game, where history can be fully relived or rewritten from the perspective of a global superpower attempting to change the world, or a small nation simply trying to survive. Strategy fans will discover the most authentic real-time simulation of World War II to date, with authentic historical figures battling on land, sea, and air with period-accurate armies, vehicles, and newly discovered weapons of mass destruction – along with plenty of diplomatic and trade tactics.

I'm going to try to not buy this considering I never figured out HO3 but for some reason I can see myself preordering this.

I kind of feel like I'm in the same boat. I was never really able to wrap my head around HOI 2 or 3 but there is just some magnetism I have towards WWII strategy games...

I've had HOI 3 since it came out and I'm still learning, but anything WWII pulls me in. If CK2, Vic 2, or EUIV played like HOI I would have stopped trying.

The problem I have with all the paradox games in this series is I always feel like I'm just on the bus, not driving it. I've never figured out how to actually change anything except to very negative effect and even that seems to take spectacular mess ups. But I put plenty of time into each of them, trying.

This game would be a must have for me if they addressed the online issues such as connections, match making, and provided an express (think faster) style of play. Will buy anyhow as I'm a big WW buff and game enthusiast, just not seeing the advancements/changes I'd like to see in the game.

Any of you guys that enjoy WW / strategy games, feel free to add me on Steam. Definitely catch some games together. Nick is Valdarez.
