It isn't complicated in the sense that it's hard, but there is a lot to know. These videos definitely help to know what everything is, but anyone reading this should know that you gotta put it to use and play 5-10 games to about 1943-46 (depending on how fast it unfolds) before they start to turn the tables on the AI

hehehehe try and play eu4 much more complex

@andree614 3 года назад

Eu4 is nothing compared whit hoi4 like u have to make tons of stuff

@timk8869 3 года назад

@@andree614 i have played both games and hoi4 is far more ez to acces, the learning curve for eu4 is far more steep than that of hoi4, it sometimes seems to me as if hoi4 is a watered down version of eu4. I am talking about the overall mechanics and flavour of eu4, the only thing where hoi4 has much more content is how your units are built and that u can activly change equipment. On a note i own all dlcs in eu4, hoi4, ck2 and stellaris so i am basing my experience on those items since both base games (eu4 and hoi4) lack content without extra money. Side note 2: with the new emperor update eu4 has surpassed limits with its gov cap Side note 3:and i hope they make bigger repricussions to expansion for hoi4 since a wc is far to ez

@timk8869 3 года назад

@elli Seeley nope fast explanation: hoi4 has much less mechanics to learn and much less flavour, u dont even get rebels and the overall government form are also lacking, whilst eu4 may not have the depth in the army control and equipment options it has much more mechanics in other places that are much more spred out. in hoi4 u only need to learn how to control and equip your army and u have won the game, in eu4 u need far more. for people who dont understand, just look at how hard a WC is in both games: hoi4 ez eu4 hard

I think it’s very educationally useful that you give those illustrative examples, images, of what the game mechanics represent. Like with troops Digging In, and so forth. I don’t personally need it, I can understand and visualize it just fine, but for some other people, it might be very helpful, helping them to understand what the game mechanics represent in in-world terms. Bringing the numbers to life.

FYI - NKVD were Soviet security detachments which would become the KGB later on. They harassed Soviet military officers and citizens of occupied countries alike, and made sure everyone was following Soviet law, and mostly prevented sabotage/espionage, and acted as blocking detachments for fleeing Soviet troops abandoning their positions. They were quite ruthless. There were organized formations of them during WW2 all across Eastern Europe. They sent a lot of people to their deaths and to the gulag.
