[Rex is back, baby!]

both.

This one is more "modern" in the sense it came out recently.
HoI 4 is more "modern" that it takes place in the world war 2 era.

What are you looking to get out of a PDX game?
That'll help us find which one is better for you.

Both have very different combat systems for instance.

i don't know why?

[NorPhi]

If you don't know, I won't take that hint of innocence from you.

Let's just say, those two games are like metaphors for war and peace. In one you lead with the sword, in the other you plow.

As someone who has played both. I would say ck3> hoi4. Hoi4 endgame is boring, and it's one big war for several years as opposed to ck3 which is broken up by several events. It also depends on which time period you prefer WW2 or medieval.

This. easily.
HOI4 is great thematically but a pretty poor Paradox title.

why

[D34DLY]

My HoI4 is collecting dust after minimal playtime--I haven't figured it out yet. I've got almost 2000 hours on CK3. I bought both at the same time when they were on sale.

HoI4 is fairly low on the list of games I want to learn at the moment, with Stellaris and TW:WH III well above it.

[JBrown247]

Your best bet for Paradox right now is either CK3 or Stellaris.

[KharnTheKhan]

hoi4 so many mods and the combat is better than ck3

[復活した黒]

If you like micro managing multiple units go with Hoi4. If you like role playing with multiple random events that shape your characters or your countries future, go with CK3.
If you enjoy multiplayer I recommend Hoi4
If you like Mods I recommend both, although Hoi4 got bit more, CK3 has some unique ones like Crusader Blade that allows you to play battles inside MB2 Bannerlord
On vanilla I recommend going with CK3
Without DLCs I recommend CK3
If you like "shorter" games go with Hoi4, if you like longer go with CK3

[nullpo]

Ck3 is the best title for beginner. If you like ww2 more however go for hoi4 since hoi4 is also not that hard for beginner. Just stay clear from imperator rome and europe universalis series.

[Amaryllis]

HOI4. it has better mods, and the combat is more than slamming one stack of a larger number against another stack of smaller number.

[Alehkra]

Would you like to spend your time managing WWII battle and production lines, tweaking unit designs and such? Get HOI IV. Do you want to manage a medieval dynasty and their politics/drama through the centuries? Get this. Both are pretty good, though certainly not perfect.

[Azoniar]

They are both strategy games and made by paradox, the similarities end there. Its comes down to do you like ww2 or medieval?
