The Hearts of Iron Megathread

Honestly kind of surprised me that none of the post-Hitler leaders of Germany seem to hit on the idea of, "Slaves are so dominant in the economy that the average German's only real career path is in the military. Obviously we should start 'liquidating' these slaves to provide employment opportunities for good, loyal Germans."

Just some massive asshole who thinks abandoning genocide was a bad idea and wants to resurrect "true" National Socialism.

And then I guess shit gets fucked when a revolt even worse than the one Speer gets rocks Eastern Europe? Genocide and counter-genocide and counter-counter-genocide.

===

Anyways . . . I'd assume this bigger Israel has bigger problems trying to manage their territory. Between the Nazis continued domination of Europe and the Madagascar Plan being a thing . . . Doesn't that mean Israel has a significantly smaller Jewish population trying to lord over a much larger Arab population?

Having a genocide button is not something you want to give the playerbase for many reasons.
 
Yeah Bulgaria's stuff really makes you wonder if they will ever put anything in the game acknowledging any crimes Germany did, especially given that the upcoming DLC will be focused on the Eastern Front. Not even genocide buttons; even something implementing higher resistance in certain states with an event or two would be better than nothing.
 
Besides, the Fascists have one of the options for occupied provinces being called " Brutal Oppression ".

Not clearly a "genocide button" but... but
 
I mean Tabby does not have genocide mechanics, the horrible stuff is basically exclusive to events.
Which would be the way to handle it for any Hoi Game. Trouble is that would require actually making more and more events a lot more effort and there focused on making the map painting, not stories.
Can the successive debuffs to population growth through the foci that ultimately put it in the negative count as a mechanism for genocide?
I'd also add a great thing would not be to allow stuff like Japan getting all of China's population if they manage to map paint them...
 
I just had a dream about a HOI4 style focus tree for 18th century Revolutionary France, and if I had any idea about coding, I'd like to try it out one day.
 
Here is the latest EaW teaser compilation.



Here is a particularly interesting image from today's EaW teaser compilation. It's the possible outcomes of Northern Zebrica.
 

HOI4 Dev Diary - Supply and Mulberry Harbors

Greetings all, and welcome to today’s dev diary on the huge supply system update coming with the Barbarossa update. Before we begin, I’ll leave a heads up that this will be the last dev diary before we break for summer, so don’t expect anything...
 

Very Soon = **LIKELY** within the next month
Soon means within the next 2-4 months **LIKELY** although it could be slightly sooner or later.
