Hearts of Iron IV is too simple in comparison to HOI3. I know people have already said it, but HOI4 is just not as complex behind the scenes and the only reason it is easier is because of the interface and tooltips. I feel the people writing these reviews saying that game is just as detailed as HOI3 have not given the game a proper chance.

My fear is that you guys will read the postive reviews and decide to add DLC which adds useless features that ultimately don't add to the game. I fear that you will not add an OOB which is needed for the already over simplified battle plan system. I fear that you wont make researching as detailed as HOI3 whereas you could research just the guns or armor or engine etc if you wanted to focus on just that.

My point is, Paradox, you have done something amazing with HOI3, please do not lose sight of your original goals for the series. Please do not turn HOI4 into the simplified game that is your other games. I enjoy ck2 and eu4 but i also enjoy the detail of previous releases to the hearts of iron series.

[h1] TL:DR Paradox has streamlined HOI4 to make it more accessible to newcomers and in a result made a game that is not Heart of iron but more of a risk evolved or axis and allies board game.
