Generals!

It is soon time for the Ruler of Plusshia to return to his campaign of conquest, but fear not! Makeship has been kind enough to delay his stay until the 27th of November so those of you who have not yet gotten your own. Make sure to get your requisition in before time runs out!

Others lack that flair of Discipine, the Gravitas and Authority only this Kaiser can embody. Equipped with their formal regalia and one stylish moustache, this Platypus has unbridled ambitions for global domination...

Greetings all,

With a mere one day to go before the launch of Götterdämmmerung, it is tradition that we leave you with the change log to pore over. The usual disclaimer applies; this list should be comprehensive but omissions may have occurred. Any items we add retroactively will be placed in a separate spoiler underneath the main list.

Hello! And welcome to the last Dev Diary for the DLC Götterdämmerung!

I’m CreamGene and I hope you have had a good time reading previous Diaries and are as excited as we are for the release.

Since I’m here, I would like to share with you some of the art we on HOI have loved to see the most as well as show off some behind-the-scenes… or WIPs of how some of the featur... Read more

Hello everyone, it's again the time to give you a glimpse into the fun stuff we've been doing from the tech side. You know, in addition to implementing the new features. This time around, I (PDXen) got the honour to write the Dev Diary.

I'm gonna start off with some outdated news from the past: Did you know that we did a performance pass on Trial of Allegiance? I honestly hope that you didn't. Being a country pack, we never intended to improve the performance but we did make improvements to counter the influx of data that happens when we add more content.

But I know you don't want to listen to ramblings about the past. So let's get started on what we've done this time. While we've taken time to look at the performance and improve parts of it, we've also added some new generic features that we hope our modders will like.

Performance I'm gonna be brutally honest with you from the start: The performance goal of this DLC was to not decay performanc... Read more

Hello! My name is MordredViking (Gareth), and I’m joined in this Dev Diary by D3vil (Jonathan). We previously talked about Belgium and now it’s time to talk about Congo! I’ll start talking about a specific part of the focus tree which relies on close Belgian cooperation, then Jonathan will take over and cover the rest of the branches.



Why Congo though? I know there was some surprise at their inclusion in this expansion, but there is a good reason for it. Namely, they contributed a lot more to the Second World War than you likely realize, plus they were of course intrinsically linked together with Belgium. It was their gold and diamonds which kept the Belgian Government in Exile solvent, meaning that they did not need any donations or loans from the other Allied nations. Co... Read more

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

We’re going to be talking about a nation that was invaded in both World Wars, and were present and fighting until the end in both, despite being either partly, or wholly occupied for the majority of those conflicts. Their people were very much on the front lines, and the landscape remains scarred by the wars even to this day.



Hello! My name is Mordred Viking, though some of you may know me as Gareth. I am a Content Designer on Hearts of Iron IV, and I very much wanted to see this nation given more content in the game because they contributed so much, but are often so little known.

As such, I’d like to present the real story of the plucky underdog: Belgium.


Behold! The Belgi... Read more
