Paradox Launches new Dev Diary
for Hearts of Iron 3

Internal Politics and Political
Parties Take Center Stage in Newest Hearts of Iron 3 Developer Diary

Paradox Interactive today unveiled
the newest developer diary entry from Johan Andersson, Lead Developer on Hearts
of Iron 3, on GiantRealm.com. Mr. Andersson’s posting breeches the subjects of
intelligence, diplomacy, convoys, and the addition of political parties to HoI3.

Johan writes, “Although Hearts of
Iron 3 is a war game and our main focus is on the war aspect, we felt we could
not neglect the home front – in particular, politics. We felt that the Hearts of
Iron 2 event-heavy system didn’t do quite what we wanted due to its static
nature, which made it harder to react to changing situations. So we aimed to set
up a system that was more dynamic in nature, but also wasn’t so detailed you had
to spend more time on your internal politics than you did fighting wars.”
