So new DLC is just OoB coming back?

Sure seems like OoB without being as complex, what other HOI3 feature we expected at launch will be sold to us next?

Lovely that people can only ♥♥♥♥♥ 24/7 about every attempt of Devs to create a better game and then improving it with patches, just the way it should be, instead of supporting the Devs with constructive critics.

I don't ♥♥♥♥♥ about HOI4 24x7. I've overall liked the game, but this was a major critique during development and at launch: They eschewed HOI3 features to make the game more simple for new users (their own claim), didn't get as many new people as expected and lost some older players, and now the older players are being sold back the features they expected in the first place as they were existent and developed over 3 games as well as their other titles.

Don't get me wrong, I've liked Paradox games, but they've been making some blunders recently. I've more than paid my dues to them with the amount of CKII content I've bought alone. I have most of EUIV and I have yet to really sit down and play it all that much as I wanted a CKII finished game I liked to convert.

The constructive criticsm is: We told you so during development that this would happen and don't like being sold things we were willing to pay for, but didn't want to pay in the way of piecemeal DLC that totals over $200 in the end. If they planned these features from the beginning, and theyr'e aslo present in the previous iterations, i.e. staples of the genere they'be built, you're being swindled.

"certain features will be DLC". OoB is Order of Battle. It was the logistic supply and command system of HOI3. Army groups had generals' HQs and theaters did too. these HQs needed to be within a certain range of their divisional units to be able for them to resupply and properly function. It took a long time to initially learn and set up at the start of a game, but it had a layer of depth that 4 doesn't. It seems they've listened and are adding back features people wanted in the first place, but it's not fun paying more for them a year later when they were asked for all through development and constructive notes from their base could and should have been taken then.
