It's way, way more focused on economics and politics. Again, no idea what is going on or how to get a single industrialist into my nation despite setting policies to "use small children for fuel" and sparking a nobles revolt. Really having a Dengist moment here. Also, fuck landowners.
I have only fought a very small war but it seemed fine, not spectacular, just fine like CK3 combat. I can see how HOI4 people might not like it though. Since they have to reflect the change from Napoleonic to post WW1 tactics there was never going to be a system that made people happy.
I think, and this is from watching the pre-release streams, that pop jobs can be influences by the types of buildings you have(?) Like, pops won't switch jobs if there isn't an opportunity to work for that job, so you need to build that kind of building. Could be completely wrong though, I obviously have not played yet. The people I saw complaining most about war were avid Vic 2 players who wanted more micro, but I'm sure they're gonna add paid dlc that makes the combat better soon.
Yeah but you also need education and surplus pop. If there's no one who can become an urban industrialist or a worker because the farms are still expanding then you are out of luck.
