With each of Hearts of Iron 4’s many DLC updates, the gargantuan family of mods has grown further, with players turning Paradox’s every new addition to their own creative ends. Naturally, there’s also a smorgasbord of mechanical tweaks and fiddles to choose from, adding new systems for AI, textures, music and more. On top of the base game’s famously deep and complex set of systems and interactions, its open-ended sandbox version of World War Two has proven extremely fertile ground for modders to create alternate histories, ultra-detailed scenarios covering later (or earlier) conflicts, and even transport you to other game worlds entirely. Still, let’s ride this tiger of selection, and focus on four salient categories to encircle some of the best mods out there. These are things that I think Paradox should look at when they're working on the balance for Cornflakes in the weeks to come.Of all the Paradox titles to deploy massive mods libraries, none might compare with the whopping collection of over 20,000 Hearts of Iron 4 Mods. The world tension restrictions for unaligned countries are harsh, and without Nazi Germany around to keep it up, world tension tanks all game long. I had to wait until they attacked Iraq and Iran. There's no similar restriction if you want to go to war with Britain and France (which I avoided mainly because of my lack of experience with the naval aspect of the game), so why is it there for the USSR if you've decided you want to stick it to the communists? It didn't help that Poland refused my guarantee and I couldn't get the focus done in time to save them, and then China chased Japan off the mainland so the USSR didn't declare war on them despite getting the CB for it. But one thing really stuck in my craw - in order to start the focus allowing you to declare war on the USSR, the USSR must already be at war with someone.
For the most part that's down to the particular choices I made. I'll admit I haven't played very much HoI4 (48 hours in total) and this was my first game as Germany, but I found the Kaiserreich path to be a little, well.
