What I need to do is some serious reading, some careful planning on what my vision for the United States should be in 1936. Not because I'm sick of it quite the contrary, in fact. “For now, after many dozens of hours, I'm taking a break from Hearts of Iron 4. But I have never played anything like Hearts of Iron 4” There are other great strategic-level wargames out there. “It captivates me because-imperfectly, impressionistically, and perhaps a little amorally-it lets me orchestrate the most titanic armed struggles in history, from the fussy economic details to the cut-and-thrust of mechanized warfare. (please note that if you have expansion's, then there will be more button's, but because they are of smaller importance, they will not be covered.“Hearts of Iron 4 wields complexity like a swift armor division during the blitzkrieg, allowing it to serve the idea of layered, cerebral, strategic warfare instead of letting it needlessly bog down the experience.” usually, people play on the politic mapmode so they can understand the situation better. In the bottom right of the screen, you have the map, and a number of different mapmodes, which explain themselves if you mouse over them. National unity, measure of your country's overall morale. Officer ratio, which is the measure of how fully staffed the officer corps is. Manpower, what you use to build and reinforce your army.ĭiplomatic points, which is used to conduct dimplomacy. in the top right, you can see more icon's. we will go more into this at the production section. this is more or less how much your nation can produce thing's to keep your army and you nation goin, such as build troop's, ship's and other thing's like that. which bring's us onto the 3 number's you can see top centre, this is your IC, or industrial capacity. these three are used in your factory's to keep them running. money is used to buy thing's from people VIA trade. supplies supply your troop's, oil fuel's tanks, planes an ship's.

On the top of the screen, you can see your resources. but don't worry, you will get used to it! we will now go over the UI. as with most paradox game's, when you first jump in it can be quite overwhelming.
