Hearts of Iron 3 - הדיון הראשי

Hearts of Iron 3:

The next Grand Strategy title from the Paradox Interactive development team is the third instalment in the critically acclaimed Hearts of Iron series.

The Hearts of Iron series has become renowned for being the biggest, most detailed and complete strategic game series on World War 2 ever made. Hearts of Iron III will follow that tradition closely while focusing on satisfying veteran players through a multitude of brand new features and systems, including a huge map with more than 14,000 land and sea provinces.

# Hearts of Iron III is scheduled for release in Q3, 2009.

# Currently in beta development stages.

Preview:

You'll be able to play as any country in the world, and while it will be beneficial to control one of the major Allied or Axis forces, there's no reason you can't head up Romania or an equally small nation instead.

You'll command your armies using a world map view, and it's from here that you can dip into the various menus that will influence your actions. The diplomacy menu will let you see your relationship with other countries, and you'll be able to see each nation's political allegiance towards democracy, communism, and fascism.

Another key aspect of the game is where each country stands in terms of being aligned with the Allied powers, Axis forces, or Comintern. This affects certain skills, because the Comintern states, for instance, can barter for goods, whereas the Axis powers tend to take things by force. You also have to take care of technology, and the game displays tech trees where you can allocate resources to things such as infantry theory. We're also promised a greater number of intelligence considerations, which are tied in to the number of spies you have, and it's all about allocating spies to certain countries over others.

The military aspect of the game promises to have stronger AI than before; you'll be able to tell your troops where to march and then let the computer take care of the rest. The game will also give you hints every step of the way, so you don't need to have played the previous games to get into the third. We also like the new leadership option that gives you greater control of your country's manpower, right down to lower-level skill groups and university graduates.
