Of course the fact that you know that war is coming definitely helps.Ī second option allows you to select whether the nations governed by the artificial intelligence will try their best to follow a historical route, or will simply run amok following whatever goal they might come up with in that particular campaign. Starting in 1936 can change the face of World War II extensively, as you can definitely do a much better job than the real politicians and generals of the time to prepare for the conflict. You can choose to start your campaign in 1936 or in 1939.
The initial options are pretty simple, but bring forth deep consequences. I probably don’t need to tell you much about what the game is all about: you’ll play one of the nations involved in World War II, and you have to fight your way through the worst part of the 20th century in order to achieve your objectives, whatever those objectives might be. As a matter of fact, it’s a game that intentionally throws right in your face so many issues to tackle, that you’ll either have the (gaming) time of your life, or you’ll tear your hair out before running screaming towards the sunset. Grand Strategy games can be intimidating, and Hearts if Iron IV is no exception to this nearly iron-clad rule.
