Hearts of Iron 2 Complete + Kaiserreich mod = loads of fun.. Armageddon doesn't download/run or its not included.

Do not buy this game from steam (not their fault) - much better if you source it elsewhere. One of my favorite games in my library. Loved it until it doesnt work anymore and no one will fix it (Windows 7).many people have same problem. so thumbs down to you steam and such..... Legendary game. Thanks to ice_world I can now recomend this game since I found a way to change the countries. By right clicking on the flags you can choose who and what to play as. I will updte this again once I have actually gotten some time in the game!. It's still the best game in the serie. If you prefer an historical and "realistic" game then choose this one.

It's a relatively simple and fast game, at least after you learn how to play.

It's different from the following titles of the HOI serie in many ways, it's not a completely open sandbox, you will LUCKILY never see impossible alliances here (unless you conquer them and set them up as a puppet nation of course). By 1936 when the game starts the blocks are mostly set and the game shows it.

With hoi3 and hoi4 the developers unfortunately moved away from the "historical events" system which I loved. In the new titles they tried to make hearts of iron another pure sandbox where ANYTHING can happen, but it shouldn't be like that (there are other Paradox titles much better as sandbox after all, this title was supposed to be about WWII instead!). I don't want to see weird and absurd alliances and other nonsense in my WWII games and on the opposite I want to see as many carefully researched events as possible, as in some of the best mods for HOI2.

There is the chance for "what if" scenarios but they are about what can happen in the few years before the war and during it. The base game starts in 1936 as earliest date, on mods that could be 1933 or earlier.. but if you really wanted to change the diplomatic setup you would need a game starting more than 40 years before to take it up from the last years of Otto Von Bismarck and continue his policies for instance, or at the very least completely evade or change the outcome of WWI (the easiest way in my opinion would still involve keeping Von Bismarck as chancellor or at least evading Kaiser Wilhelm II megalomaniac and suicidal foreign policy).

There is no need to spend hours to set the OOB or being forced to delegate things to the AI.
There are some very good mods that can improve difficulty, tech tree, espionage, the AI itself and other aspects of the game up to your preferences.
Check the mods "Compendium" and "Iron Cross" for instance, both are more difficult than the base game. Unfortunately I forgot the names of too many others.

In my opinion a lot of micromanagement is good only in extremely realistic and complex games like "War In the East" or "War In The Pacific"... which are definitely not for "casuals".
In my opinion HOI as a serie should be more of a middle ground between "easy titles" and the giants of complexity and realism and it should make grand strategy accessible while still being HISTORICAL, without making it childish.

HOI 3 and HOI4 moved away from history and realism, while at the same time increasing micro (mostly HOI3) when not needed and making other things shallow and flat where they needed more depth if anything. Exactly the opposite of what I wanted. That's why I consider HOI 2, modded, as the top of the serie.

I think I have just a few hours on it on steam, I have other versions with different mods on my pc (and my "Darkest Hour" one is on GOG), but I played HOI2 for close to 14 years, including at least trying most mods.

Of course if you are already experienced with this kind of games you can start with mods right away. Vanilla is good to start and learn though.
There are also mods like the famous "Kaiserreich" for an interesting "what if" scenario to start with.

After all EVERY paradox game is way better with mods, and often the older it gets the better (for the needed patches and mods. After all Paradox was famous for releasing potentially great titles but with lots of bugs or missing content at first, to then make them better in time step by step, even before they became famous for their greedy policy of DLCs as in EU4).

You can find also the version of HOI2 called "Darkest Hour" which is itself a huge mod, improved in many ways from the basic game, but still not my favourite "mod". :) It's one of those I spent more hours into tho.
I advice to get both the "basic" hoi2 and "Darkest Hour" if you enjoy one of the two games. You can also keep different versions of the game at the same time.
You will need a bit of research on the web to find the older mods though.

There is even the possibility to import your country from Victoria (and EU3 or EU2, I forgot) into HOI2 and keep playing the same nation. I'm not sure how it works, I always play with mods after all and I want the game to be more of a challenge not less of it... even if the idea to import from other games for a really EPIC and long match (starting with a small country) is quite interesting.. Armageddon doesn't download\/run or its not included.
