thinking about a Hearts of Iorn 3 Lets Play, any intrest?
as the title suggets, i am currently thinking about starting a Lets Play for HOI3, a very good game which lets you take control of pretty much any nation form the period 1936-1949, and was checking if thier was any intrest in such an effort, and which nation to try and play.
a few suggestions:
Nationalist China: out of the way, but with enough IC to build a major land army. early years are dominated by the janpanese war, obviously, but later stages could be pacific conquest, taking eastern russia, or even into india.
Romaina: a bakans power with the strenght to make an impact on the eastern front. unifiy the bakans, then conquor southern russia, or try and ally with the Red Tsar?
austrailia: face the might of japan over the pacific, or join in the european war and help the Mother Country?
any other suggestions are welcome.Then it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, 'ow's yer soul? "
But it's " Thin red line of 'eroes " when the drums begin to roll
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it's " Thin red line of 'eroes, " when the drums begin to roll.

I support this, on the sole condition that you play Belgium.

Turn Australia into a world power and I will love you forever and ever. The best Paradox LP I have seen so far is a Serbia Succession LP that is TOTALLY HILARIOUS, though unfortunately it's on Something Awful, I'm not sure if it's archived or not so you'd need to have an account there if so.
Feel free to catch me on MSN if you ever feel like a chat! You can find me under "ChocolateHeathen (At) Hotmail (Dot) com", most days.

how does taking over holland and parts of northern france sound?

if the japs start a war, its island hopping and trying to avoid the massivly superior jap fleet.
edit: one other thing i'm, debating, which is using a cheat code to drop my neutrality ( the "pasifisim" of my nation, which acts as a brake on your more aggressive actions (conscription, shifting to a war enconomy, etc)), and most particulary on declaring war. by loosing it, it allows me, the player, must more room to do ahistorical things like invade New Zealand, or lead Belgium into the Axis, or whatever. however, it IS still techincally cheating.Last edited by Storm Bringer; 2011-03-07 at 09:55 AM.

I vote you use a mod. I personally like using DiDays' ICE mod. It just makes it more interesting. And a map-purtyfier. It makes the map purty. And considering how long you spend staring at a map, rather needed.

just found pretty much exactly what you were looking for on the Paradox forums (account required, i think)

any other calls for playing a specific nation? I'm torn between Belgium, which i've never played, and Austraila, which has (or had, at least in unmodded HOI) a good isolated start position that gives me time to build up,
leaning towards belgium, but any calls are welcome..Last edited by Storm Bringer; 2011-03-10 at 04:58 AM.

Play as Portugal and rebuild the Portuguese Empire: conquer both Brazil and India (at least the areas around Goa and Bombay).
You start with a small, impoverished European nation (with a few African colonies and some strategically important islands in the middle of the Atlantic). And if you are fighting in less than three continents (South America, Asia and Africa) you are doing it wrong.

Canada. Invade Portugal, then Spain, and then push through the rest of Europe, singlehandedly destroying Nazi Germany. Keep pushing until you cannot push any more.
I did it once in HoI2. It was intensely fun. My little transport convoys were the envy of all nations.
Bonus points if you manage to get to the USSR by 1944.

There was a HOI2 Lets Play as Canada. He tried to invade Haiti, US declared war, Allies vs US war, he won at first, but then the US got enough troops into the war to win, finally. Twas a rather exciting war.
