Here is a quote from a Metacritic user review: But, what can we expect in a Twitter world where people like their silly smart phone quick pick up and play games? The new direction Paradox seems to be taking is disturbing. Worst thing about Rome Total War II, compared to say Empire Total War, is the oversimplification of the tech trees. Especially the simplification of the tech tree. Instead you just have a national set of supplies and units are automatically supplied regardless of where they are so long as you have available supply.Īgain, maybe I have been led to the wrong conclusions, but if this is the case, then a lot of the excitement for this game is gone. I loved rolling through my home town province in an alternate history.Ĥ) The air war is so simplified that you simply assign planes to a few different regions such as "Northern France." France has only two regions from what I understand.ĥ) Supply centers are a thing of the past.
So if you partake in a misguided offensive action, there is no quick and easy way to retreat.ģ) Labels no longer exist on individual provinces, but rather only on large regions. It sounds like once you issue said orders, you cannot cancel them.
Instead, you assign units to a particular front, the AI then places them where it feels is best, then you simply give orders to that particular set of units as a whole. Maybe compatibility mode would fix that.Ģ) Units are no long individually controlled on the front. Of course, I couldn't play a game because the graphic stink (after playing so many hours on EUIV) and worse, it crashed to desktop within 15 minutes. For reference, I did load up HOI III for the first time since probably 2010 and it looked amazing.

I did look at some screenshots for HOI IV and it appears you can no longer upgrade simply the guns, engines, armor, etc. I remember playing the original HOI years ago and getting late game and realizing "crap, I forgot to research X so I won't be able to make Y anytime soon." It was a learning experience that gave me additional replayability to the game. It's also the thing I loved about older Hearts of Iron games.

Instead of selecting individual technologies and eventually gaining the ability to build, say, medium tanks, you now just research "medium tanks." One thing I've always hated about the EU series was their lack of a real technology tree. I would like to know if these things are accurate:ġ) The technology tree has been dumbed down. It seems the new Paradox trend is to simplify their games to allow more casual players to play them. While the review at IGN was good, I read a lot of the user reviews on Metacritic and began to lose interest. I recently found myself in the mood to play Hearts of Iron.
