Hearts of Iron DLC - 'Arms Against Tyranny'

[Ian C]

Due out in a few hours (as of the time of this post). I know HOI has a mixed response here but I'm personally looking forward to it.

Some of the new features include Military Industrial Organizations (Design Groups) for research/production like Lockheed, Supermarine etc. a World Market for selling arms and expanded and overhauled Support Companies/Battalions.


Full list here:

- Added ahistorical Finnish focus tree paths
- Added full Norwegian focus tree
- Added full Swedish focus tree
- Added full Danish focus tree
- Added a full ... other focus tree

- Replaced equipment design company ideas with Military Industrial Organizations (MIOs). MIOs can be attached to research and production, gaining funds and unlocking increased benefits upon your production and equipment.

- Diplomacy tab replaced by the International Market. Equipment can be bought and sold for civilian factory output, giving countries a way of arming themselves with advanced equipment, or war-profiteering for their own gain. Diplomacy menu can be accessed via a button at the bottom of the international market

- Added Special Forces doctrine page, with branches including unique gameplay utility for Mountaineers, Marines, and Paratroopers, and 3 new support battalions

- Added numerous new 3D models including snowmobiles, cold-weather infantry, and a reindeer for some reason

I've always been a sucker for the DLC, and I will open my wallet once again for this one.

But I have to admit that the list of changes doesn't really excite me much this time.

Just a tip as it's not obvious how to use them at first- Marine Commandos.  They can exfiltrate from any non-port region as long as you control + click a Port they retreat to.
