Well Hello everyone,
It’s been ages since the last Dev Diary, eh? It sure has been a long while but that doesn’t mean that development on the mod has ceased cause it never did.
We've been working hard on the new 0.2 'Konev' update, projected to be released post-December 15th (Well, if we had access to the Beta we would've probably gotten it ready much sooner *wink wink paradox*)
And so today’s subject will be the newly revamped Ideologies.. Ideologies
We all know how good the ideologies layout worked on HOI IV, it was simple yet efficient, but to me (and a lot of the others) it was too simple, and so we decided to bring back the good old Ideologies from HoI II, Darkest Hour and HoI III, if you’re not familiar with any of those titles, I’ll be explaining each one of them one by one:
Fascism:
Usually referred to as Nazism, I believe it’s a rather self-explanatory ideology, a good example would be Germany under the rule of Adolf Hitler
Simply a form of radical authoritarian nationalism, Think of Mussolini’s Italy, It also seems like they don’t have an issue with monarchies (We’ll get into that later on)
Covers all sorts of Authoritarian ruling systems, from Dictatorships to Absolute monarchies, it’s rather widespread in Asia, the Middle-East and Southern America, some good examples would be Japan (before Tojo taking over), Saudi Arabia and more
Democracy:
Communism:
Also known as Left Wing Nationalism, It’s mainly to represent Euro-Communists (Josef Broz Tito), Pan Arab Baathists (Gamel Abdel Nasser). It’s also used to represent the Right Opposition in the USSR (Nikolai Bukharin) and the Anarcho-Communists like the CNT-FAI in Spain (Which will be the subject of an upcoming Dev Diary ;-)
Leninists, it’s mainly used to represent lighter forms of communism such as Trotskyites, Internationalists and such
Also known as “Hardcore Communism”, usually with a heavy emphasis on Industry (and a tendency of getting famines from time to time) a good example would be Papa Stalin and Uncle Mao.
Leaders?
With all these new ideologies, which will hopefully add a bit more complexity and variety to the politics of HOI4: DH, We’re gonna need to add leaders to cover these up, which is still a WIP.
However, we decided to take the chance and redo all the portraits to a new B&W vanilla-ish looking style, allowing us to easily add new portraits (the process takes less than 10 mins) Here are some examples of the newly added portraits
Well that’s all for this Dev Diary, Thank you guys for your time, if you wanna be notified about the new addition that I’m working on for Darkest Hour make sure to hop on our Discord server or Follow me on Twitter Twitter.com
Cheers Explanation
A modifier is a numeric multiplier that represent certain strengths and weaknesses of a country. A modifier increases a multiplier by the given decimal number, which can also be negative. Modifiers can unfortunately not directly be used in place of triggers or effects (but see this workaround), usually an effect from for example a national focus, would add an idea (national spirit) that contains these modifiers as permanent bonuses.
Most modifiers are by default 1.00, representing 100%. Modifiers are additive. For example, if you have two ideas that each change army organization by 0.20, then the resulting modifier is 1.40. This 1.40 (or 1.4) is then multiplied with each individual divisions organization value to get the end value.

This page contains a list of cheats, codes, Easter eggs, tips, and other secrets for Hearts of Iron for PC. If you've discovered a cheat you'd like to add to the page, or have a correction, please click EDIT and add it.
Side Changing[edit]
Playing as for example Germany (Nazi side) you can change the side by: 1. Save the game.
2. Open the default scenario, like 'Blitzkrieg' by for example France. 3. Then, playing 'Blitzkrieg' load your saved game. You can delete the whole army if you want to. 4. Save the game. 5. Load a default scenario, like 'Blitzkrieg' by Germany. 6. Load your saved game and France has no army and you are Germany! Random Events[edit]
To use the cheats below, open up the chat log by pressing F12, and then type in the code. The random events that happen can be manually triggered by typing in “event ????”, where the question marks are a number. For example, “event 1011” is when a scientist defects to your country.Note: Some of the events do bad things to your nation, such as worker strikes.
Some examples:
Cheat List[edit]
During game, press F12 to open the console and type the following to gain the effect. Push F12 again to close the console.
Complete Control[edit]
This will add hours of fun to the game:
1. Begin a game.
2. Save the game and remember the name. 3. Exit HOI 4. Find the Hearts of Iron directory under scenarios/save games. 5. Find the name of the game with the .eug extension - open it in wordpad. 6. If playing:
7. Either scroll down, or then search for'research_cost_app'
8. The next 4 lines will decide how long research takes. 1.000 is normal - lowering it to 0.250 will make it really fast. Do not go lower than this, as an error may occur as technologies are discovered. Note: looking through this section and making minor tweaks can change the entire landscape of the game. Also, scrolling down further, you will find generals. Decreasing the Rank = number will promote them - a zero (0) is Field Marshall/Grand Admiral etc. Increasing the skill will make them better. Try not to go too high, as I do not know the limit of the game's logic algorithms. If you make any mistakes simply go back to step one. This does nothing to change the game itself, only your saved game.

What if the UK was communist, I wondered as I munched on a gruesome burger from McDonalds while browsing for a new pair of Converses on my oversized smartphone. Would I finally have the confidence to pull off a bushy, Stalinesque moustache? Would those red trousers which I bought on a day I lost all sense, but never wore, suddenly look good on me?
To give direction to my aimless pondering I fired up Paradox’s grand strategy-wargame hybrid, Hearts of Iron IV [official site]. Not just a World War II simulator, it’s a What If scenario generator, answering the big questions like: how can Germany win the war? Can Argentina take over South America? And, of course, what if the UK was communist? Let’s find out.
Before we get started – I know! Ugh! More preamble – let’s talk about the setup. I’m picking the 1936 start because beginning the game in ‘39 means there’s almost no time to prepare before the war kicks off, which also means fewer ahistorical communist shenanigans. 1936 – 1939 is where Hearts of Iron IV is most like a grand strategy game, before it transforms into a wargame.
I’m keeping historical AI on, too. This is just a personal preference. The rest of the world will act largely like it should, though some surprises are bound to occur, especially when I attempt to do something silly like stage a communist coup of the USA. Spoilers!
Okay, okay, we’re done with the scene-setting. Let’s make history.
Inheriting the keys to the UK in 1936 is just a little bit intimidating. And by a little bit, I mean I want to run for the hills. Unlike, say, Germany, which has very clear paths and goals with a focus on Europe, the UK’s influence spreads across the globe. Not only do I have to worry about this pokey – but still somehow very important – set of islands, I’ve got holdings in Africa, Asia and North America to distract me as well. There’s a manpower problem, too. The UK still hasn’t recovered from the Great War, which decimated a whole generation. It’s all quite grim.
The political situation has me concerned, as well. Right now, the Conservative Party – the party of Mr. Neville “Peace in our time” Chamberlain – is in power, and the Brits are staunchly democratic. The next election isn’t until 1939, so a democratically elected communist government is a long way off, if I want to go down that route instead of tearing the nation apart with a bloody revolt.
On the plus side, I find myself blessed with options. I can research four different technologies all at once since we’re just so darn smart in Blighty, and the national focus tree is heaving with potential avenues for me to saunter down. Ah yes, national focus – what’s that all about then? Essentially, these focuses are bonuses and event triggers that allow players to fine-tune both their country and its ambitions.
Strictly speaking, there are multiple trees, though some are connected at their roots, while others are wholly separate. New options open and close depending on international and domestic events, so it’s quite dynamic, shifting as the world descends into glorious chaos. The UK starts with three choices: Limited Rearmament, Home Defence and Reinforce the Empire. I choose the first, as it means I get a couple of new building slots and civilian factories, which will in turn let me construct more helpful things like dockyards and military factories, and then more equipment for my forces. It’s all a big, lovely chain.
So I’m playing it safe at the moment (Booo!) by researching tech that will assist in construction and future research, building up my infrastructure on the side. There’s not much more that can be done at this point becau– Oh dear, the King is dead. Yes, George has popped his clogs and now Edward is on the throne. This matters because Georgie Boy gave the UK a boost in national unity – an intangible measurement of a nation’s strength, important when enemies are invading – while his son is now reducing unity by 0.10% a week. Well, bugger.
I was saying, before a dead monarch so rudely interrupted me, that my hands are somewhat tied. Dabbling in the murky world of politics, as well as bringing in military specialists and changing conscription laws, costs political power, a resource that can best be described as extremely bloody limited. Right now, it’s ticking away at one point every day, but I can increase this by hiring some minions eventually, though there are even more ways to reduce it. Ultimately, this means that my dream of spreading communism throughout the isles will have to wait just a wee while longer.
This gives me a lot of time to plan and to look over the map of the world, salivating at the prospect of conquering it all. I’m most interested in France right now. My chums across the Channel might be democratic, like the UK, but there’s a significant number of communist sympathisers. Usually, France eventually outlaws communism, because it’s just too bad ass to be allowed to continue, but if I can have my own revolution before that, I can start increasing their popularity or stage a coup.
I’m currently celebrating with potato-based booze because I have finally collected enough political power to hire a charming communist orator, an event most libation-worthy. He’s now merrily preaching the benefits of going red. When you start shifting a country’s ideology, you get two options: political coup or popular uprising. The former means that, once the nation’s communist influence goes over 50%, that party will win the next election and take over, although it can sometimes happen sooner. A bloodless coup sounds great and all, but I don’t have the patience to wait until 1939 – the year the election will be held. Uprising it is. Civil war is coming.
Speaking of civil war, the Spanish are the middle of their own. The Nationalists, Franco’s fascist faction, are winning. I’d love to help the Republicans, but while the UK is still a democracy I’m unable to send volunteer troops to lend a hand until Global Tension increases. It’s a peculiar system that restricts nations from making bold moves until the world is close to a global war, and mainly affects countries like the UK. Germany, Italy and the like are more free to act, and are largely the cause of rising tension.
Thankfully, things will soon become a lot more exciting for us Brits. Communism has proved to be exactly what the people needed. Even the armed forces are getting a taste, with soldiers flocking to communist groups – though this has reduced our manpower again. A small price to pay for the glorious revolution that we’re working toward. Dasvidaniya, democracy!
Oh boy. So we’ve got a new king, now that Eddie Baby has eloped with his beau, Mrs Simpson, but that’s barely even front page news because we’re also at war. With ourselves. Yes, it’s civil war time and it’s not looking good for the UK. Things are definitely looking up for the Union of Britain, however.
Most of England and all of Wales and Northern Ireland are in the Union, while south east England and the majority of Scotland is fighting for democracy. Abroad, communism has prevailed and the British Raj is supporting the revolution as well. Unfortunately, our pals in the Commonwealth have declared war, but with the real conflict taking place in the UK, they aren’t a threat.
How To Change Ideology Hoi4 Kaiserreich
When war kicks off, Hearts of Iron IV becomes a very different game. The grand strategy elements hop over to the backseat, putting the wargamey systems behind the steering wheel. I’m sort of prepared for this. Low manpower means that I’ve not been investing much into my army, though I do have a strong navy and air force, and I still have enough divisions of infantry and light tanks to deal with the remnants of the UK.
My divisions are already combined into one army under a general, allowing me to command lots of men with the touch of a button, rather than faffing around with micromanagement. I’m still able to control each division individually, though; particularly handy when the fighting becomes more intense and chaotic. I quickly surround the last pocket of resistance in England with my army, drawing a front line across the border. From there, I’m able to create my battle plan.
It’s all very tactile, Hearts of Iron’s military system; like you’re painting new nations and dominions with battle lines and warmachines and heavily-armed men. I’m confident and impatient so I don’t even create a fallback line, instead drawing an offensive one along the coast, preparing my forces to push our enemies into the sea. Above, the sky is blanketed by my air support. Fighters and bombers buzz around England, casting their shadow over the battlefield.
Air wings can be given specific orders, like supporting ground troops or bombing areas of strategic significance. I forgo the latter because I’d rather not destroy the very factories that I’ll be using after the war. Civil wars are messy enough without demolishing my own infrastructure.
The resistance in England doesn’t hold out for very long, but the stalwart Scots manage to completely take over the North. Unfortunately for them, they’re merely postponing the inevitable. My divisions rush up and drive the Scots beyond Glasgow and Edinburgh. And we push, and keep pushing, painting Scotland red, until the UK finally capitulates. It is no more.
The government surrenders and then promptly flees abroad with the king, leaving the Empire in the hands of the communists. Elections are cancelled. Why would we need them now, anyway? The rest of the Commonwealth acquiesces, ending the war entirely. Yay, but also… am I the bad guy now? No time to worry about that, as this was merely phase one of my horrific plan.
My main reason for automatically logging out of my Google account is just to make sure no one else can access my account after I leave that computer. In this article, I’ll try to walk through the different things I do in order to make sure my account can’t be accessed by anyone else. How do i logout of facebook on chrome. Lucky for them, I’m not a hacker or an evil person otherwise I could theoretically access lots of sensitive information about that person.Unfortunately, there is no perfect solution to this problem. There’s one major reason for that too: Google doesn’t ever want you to log out of your account because then it can’t track everything you do.If you’re logged in, they gather information about how you use all the Google services and use that information for everything from advertising to adjusting the order of results in Google Search.Personally, I don’t really care too much about that aspect. I’ve seen it happen so many times in hotels and apartment complexes where I go to Gmail in the browser and it loads up someone else’s Gmail account!
Phase two actually began before the civil war was even over. I had plenty of political power, and since I was in control of a communist nation – even if it was still fighting itself – I was finally able to start boosting the popularity of communism abroad, specifically in the US and France. I’m on a timer, however. It’s 1938, and with historical AI I’ve never seen WWII start later than 1939.
I’d better get ready. I’m also trying to figure out what our new national anthem should be. And our new national animal. I’m leaning toward Zarya. Give me suggestions!
The tale continues on Wednesday. Hearts of Iron IV is available now on Windows, Mac and Linux.
