Paradox Interactive games

Yeah, but the DL includes game files from EU3, NA, and IN as well, so it's ginormous. Might as well just wait four days.
 
This is coming from a guy whose s-iternet is so crummy he can't play Team Fortress 2 anymore. :p
 
So what does HttT add that makes it so much better? Reading the blurb on paradoxplaza.com, it seems kind of a generic add-on.

Major changes in diplomacy (casus belli system expanded, royal marriages and heirs vastly improved), new agents added, HRE and Papacy massively revamped, combat heavily tweaked, new cultural elements, significant map and balancing changes, altered westernization system, and the whole thing is optimized much better than previous EU3 games. It's a pretty good expansion IMO, most of the demo players and beta testers say that it's like playing an entirely different game
Does HttT include IN and NA features?
No, you have to have the expansions or EU3 complete to run it.
 
I simply find myself unable to get the hand of Paradox games. Crusader Kings I don't get the tech tree, I keep going bankrupt and I can't attack effectively, my armies are worthless. I tried Norway, Bohemia, Castile epic fails all of them. Castile I did pretty well but promptly went bankrupt every time I went to war. Horrible debt.

In Hearts of Iron I tried the US first, and thought I was doing decently but I couldn't do naval landings or send forces to Europe. I tried Germany later. This was worst I couldn't figure out how to balance production, and I was doing pretty decently regardless so I invaded Czechoslovakia early because I got impatient to annex them. I took them over pretty much but then Poland declares war on me so I invaded Poland and France didn't declare so I took half of Poland and made peace.

Then France declares war on me steamrolls the forces I have in the Ruhr and pushes into my industrial areas and into Bavaria and Austria. Thats when I quit because it was a giant fail.

What am I doing wrong here?

Main thing I want to know is how do I balance production sliders, which tech teams should I use, how do I do naval landings, when and where should I build up industry, what units should I build, and such?

I never thought there was a tech tree. Technologies just slowly spread throughout the different lands.

Having active armies are expensive. If you plan to declare war it's best to save up for a long time and use the armies as short as possible. There is a slider that you can change how much funding you give the army, but if you give them less it will begin to reduce the size of the army.
 
Does anyone know if Arsenal of Democracy was released as scheduled?
