The map has this rough texture that makes it look like an authentic WWII map when zoomed out (though when fully zoomed out the textures are removed for better viewing), but when you completely zoom in, it uses models instead of counters. It also didn’t look as good as plain old 2D, but I have to admit that the 3-D in HOI3 is done very well. I don’t consider this a good thing as I felt the extremely basic 3-D in EU added nothing to the game.

Hearts of Iron III brings the series into the 3-D age using the Europa Universalis III engine. You can take control of any country (even minnows like Mongolia) during this period and lead it to glory in any fashion you wish. Hearts of Iron II still stands as one of my favorite strategy games and I played it almost religiously along with its expansion packs.įor those that don’t know what Hearts of Iron is all about, it’s a real time grand strategy game set in the turbulent years of the Second World War. One of the main reasons I joined Diehard GameFAN is to get free videogames, and the game I wanted most over all others is this one: Hearts of Iron III. Choose Easy, Medium, Hard, or Any Challenge to get your prefered challenge.I won’t lie. It has lately been updated, so now you can adjust the difficulty of your challenge. If you want a more interactive version without rolling dice then I also made a version of it in Twine which you can download here. In order to use it with dice go to or simply use google’s dice roller. I plan on also adding extra challenges to the generator but for now it is capable of presenting some random scenarios.

Three simple variants but it can create quite the challenges. I also think it works for the HOI IV version since it simply chooses a country, ideology to strive for, and a city to capture. This scenario generator is pretty simple experimental one for Hearts of Iron: Darkest Hour – Kaiserreich mod.
