HoI 2 Doomsday Demo

Well, I bought the full game today, and spent the last 4 hours going from 1936 to 1942. :?

Lots of parts were automated, which is nice.

Unfortunately the new espoinage system, while interesting, is not automated. Add it feels tacked on, and really doens't make a big difference (so far) in the game. I'm gonna try to briefcase bomb the Allies as soon as I get the tech, so I'll let you all know if it gets more fun at that point! :twisted:
 
Did they expand the research engine into the 1950s? When you get to the late 40s everything is "semi-modern."
 
yes they did!

There's a new rank of most infantry, aricraft and ship techs. Also new industrial techs, a new set of plastic technologies, and a hospital series that introduces and modifies a trickle back modifier. Presumably this adds some of the casualties from combat back into your manpower pool. I for one find this particularly useful for Germany, since the only time I ever lose as Germany is when I run out of warm bodies to man my Tigers with.

All in all, I find the game refreshed and extended.
 
So far it's been great, but as the SU I had a weird bit were (admittedly, I was engaging in some unchecked aggression) I was at war with the Chinese and suddenly Yugoslavia of all places declared war on me. Long story short, WWII broke out in 38 and I face (tee hee!) Poland (snicker) alone. Presently busy wiping them off the face of the Earth, as Germany slowly FAILS to capture Czechoslovakia and holds off France.
