Paradox Interactive have announced another expansion, this time for Hearts of Iron II that’s being developed by the fan formed BL-Logic. No game mechanic is left untouched.
What started as a forum list of improvements for the WWII simulator, became ”guidelines to the new game.” By the projects end they had ”replaced and enhanced” everything.
”During the years of the ‘Hearts of Iron II’ lifecycle, I made a list of improvements in the forums and these became the guidelines to the new game,” said BL-Logic’s Lennart Berg.
”So we went ahead and implemented these along with many more ideas until we had pretty much replaced and enhanced everything from the original. The end result, in our very humble opinion, is the ultimate World War II simulation.”
‘Arsenal of Democracy’ is being released on PC this December, with the following features:
• Increased resolution and windowed mode freely selectable
• Totally reworked combat mechanics, new missions and realistic combat behavior and losses
• Several new technologies
• New espionage interface and reworked espionage system
• One of the most detailed economy and production systems found in any ‘Hearts of Iron’ game
• Realistic logistics system
• Everything is moddable
• AI reworked and now poses a genuine threat, even to experienced players
• 4 new battle scenarios
Recently Paradox announced another mod community developed project will be getting its own fully realised launch at retail. It’s being released for Europa Universalis II and has been dubbed For The Glory, developed by Crystal Empire Games for this November.
