I’m a long-term Paradox junkie, beginning with Europa Universalis I and continuing through the Hearts of Iron series I even adore the much-maligned Victoria. Hearts of Iron 3 is a still-incomplete game, even after the third patch.įirst, a confession. Supply system is confusing and poorly implemented. Heavy system requirements require a fast computer, fast graphics card and lots of memory. AI still needs tweaking on production, diplomacy and technology to create a historically accurate and balanced simulation. Odd diplomatic processes result in strange alliances and unexpected results that will ruin a game. Unit graphics are passable, and map is easy to read and understand.įailed Basic: Even at version 1.3, game is often buggy and crashes. Industrial production, research and development work well. Passed Inspection: Good strategic level of war with enough operational level to make it fun division-building with mix-and-match brigades is a major step forward in the genre tech tree covers wide breadth of era tech advancement but stays simplistic enough to grasp by most players.
