Hearts of Iron II

[KG_Cloghaun]

I just picked up this game yesterday and had AGC help get me started. Man! This one is big. Lots of stuff here to absorb. Controlling natural resources, factory production, over-all industrial capacity. Building, modernizing and supporting armies. Diplomacy, etc,... Boy, talk about a strategy game!

Up to 10 people can Multiplay! You pick a country and enter WW2.
175 countries to chose from!!

Here is the link to the homepage-

It has a playable demo.

I picked it up for $34.99 at Best Buy

I have tried the game i did not like it but have your own opinion!

I love HOI2, it does have a high learning curve, but once you learn it you'll love it. The strategical possibilities are endless. It still has a few bugs they are working on, but paradox is know for their support of working on their games well after there release. Such as HOI 1 they were still patching it a year after its release. Ive bought and played all of their games, long time fan here.

Also the modding community is great :D

Stuka; perhaps you, Clog and I could get a MP game going as the Axis.

If you MP this, please post your evaluation of the MP. The one major knock I heard on the game is that multiplayer is unwieldy with all of the plotting and pop up windows and the need to pause the game in multiplayer.

KG_AGCent anytime after march 20 is good for me, I have mid terms and springbreak. So I'm alittle busy until then.

There are lot's of pop-uips in the beginning, but as your comfort level with the game and the flow of activities increases you can have many of those nasty pop-ups relegated to the events log. I only have the Tech, Battle, Diplomacy and Production notices on pop-ups anymore.
