Hearts of Iron II looks interesting.  Wish I had the money.

[12th Doctor]

I am interested in buying either Hearts of Iron II or III now, but I am a bit confused about something.  I have heard that one, or the other, or both allow you to play not only any country that exists, but any country that could possibly (CSA, Burgundy, Soviet Europe, etc) have existed... but I can't find confirmation of this anywhere.

Could someone here give me a brief tutorial on how to use the different stuff on Hearts of Iron III?  For some reason, my in game tutorials crash the game, which I downloaded, so I don't have the manual.  I have downloaded all the patches, and they were no help.  The entire thing seems less intuitive than I figured it would be.

Suggestion for someone who has all four games: (only have EU III and Vicky here).

Play through all four games, mod each one to be like the previous one where it ended.  Take screenshots and put them here, with a clear plotline for us to follow.  Allow us to vote on big choices in EU III and Vicky, and accept suggestions from the board.  Don't worry about derailing history.  If the mighty Croatian Empire ends up ruling South America, roll with it.

If successful, it'd be the best thread in the history of this board, and quite possibly the forum.

This is a suggestion, not a request.  There is a colossal amount of work involved, and I certainly wouldn't want to do it, and I wouldn't blame you at all if you didn't want to either.  However, if there's someone here that does want to undertake this endeavor, he'd be quite popular indeed.

If you want to know what I'm talking about, something like this:

I think that someone like ilikeverin could pull it off.

I think they have a program now, installed with Crusader Kings, that automatically does that for you.

Actually, its part of the Victoria expansion pack.
