i finally have gotten into it and actually dropped some $ just for the ease of update

they fixed one of my main gripes with political movements now being slow burn instead of just sudden petitions. feels more realistic.

but as someone that really enjoyed the economic build-up of HOI4 more then the war itself i realized hey that's basically what this game is. just the build-up with other cool social stuff happening. so that's what finally locked me in

don't really mind the warfare kind of sucks. i actually like how mindless it is. but you're right there are some wonky things that happen

also this game is a legit Marxism simulator

I'd agree on the warfare, if it felt different. Right now it still feels off to me. You can (accidentally) do some weird things like build up the "start battle" bar and if you activate two armies at once, get two battles instead of 1. Annoying things like 60k troops vs 3k taking forever (and not in a guerilla war, because you end up in a traditional western battle at the end and roll them every time).

Its weird, but just thinking about it makes me want to go back lol. And yeah totally agree that the econ of HOI4 was usually the best part. It'd be neat if they just made an Anno style game or even something more abstract but 100% about logistics or something.
