Hearts of Iron 3 Developer Diary
Invades Giant Realm

Latest Entry Discusses Combat
System of the Third Installment of the Grand Strategy PC Title

Paradox Interactive today released
the newest developer diary entry from Johan Andersson, Lead Developer on Hearts
of Iron 3. Hearts of Iron 3 is an upcoming war-based strategy title for the PC,
and the developer diary takes a behind the scenes look at what it takes to bring
a game of this scale from concept to final product.

The latest entry from the diary
explores the land combat system within the game. Hearts of Iron 3 features an
updated land combat system that adds a new level of challenge to the game. The
game will retain the same functionality from Hearts of Iron 2, where players
move troops to attack. However, a movement penalty has been added in this
edition that increases or decreases according to combat events. This new feature
allows players to use small units to try and delay the enemy; however, it is not
guaranteed that the strategy will succeed. These new features make combat in
Hearts of Iron 3 more unpredictable and heart-pumping, while creating a more
challenging gameplay experience.
