For those who don't play paradox games or Hearts of Iron 4, I did a difficult achievement, which is starting as communist china and proclaiming the People's republic of china. You have to fight an uphill battle starting from a single province. I managed to consolidate, drive out the japanese, and turn on the Kuomintang in a few years. This last year has been researching and preparing a naval invasion to fully defeat Japan. Of course, I had to keep Mao as the head, otherwise how could I really claim to have created the PRC?
There are a lot of expansions there for HOI4. Do you need them all? Can it be pirated, or are there regular updates?
Get the ones that apply to the countries you like. I bought “Waking the tiger” for a few bucks for this run, took me a couple tries and maybe 10 odd hours in total, worth the cost. There’s expansions for the Spanish civil war, yugoslavia, etc which are all fun communist play throughs.
I don't have them all, just check the reviews for them. I'd just get the main game first though, you'll know when you need the DLC because you'll have 200+ hours in the game and be thinking "I could use that dlc". Also check G2A, they're cheap as hell on there usually. Stellaris is usually available for $10 there.
Piracy is better than g2a. They're a money laundering scheme and all keys bought there will cause the real devs to be hit with chargebacks cause they used stolen credit cards.
Just pirate it jfc
Yeah, but you don't get updates with the pirated version. The only reason I recommend G2A for Paradox is that they are constantly putting their games on sale so there are actually a few resellers that just stockpile keys when the game is $10 then sell them back for a buck or two profit. Also Paradox overcharges for their games and you can always buy DLC legit if you want to support them.
