D ' aww ! That tongue ! <| sep |> Fair enough . I misunderstood your post , so I apologize for my tone . <| sep |> I feel like some people kind of overreact to it ' s terribleness . It has some big flaws , but it ' s at least playable unlike HOI 3 at launch . The map is honestly beautiful , the new production mechanics is absolutely amazing , and the combat itself is generally pretty fun Lack of OOB is disappointing and the air combat while better than HOI 3 is meh and a lot of micro . I ' m not excusing it ' s shortcomings AI with about as much awareness as a chicken without a head comes to mind but it is far from the ABSOLUTE WORST PARADOX RELEASE EVER MADE or something . Mods like Vanilla are amazing , and I already have 325 hours in the game .
