HOI5 is a game ever on the minds of fans of HOI4 - when will it be or will it even be at all? With a teaser for a form of wunderwaffe type DLC for Hearts of Iron 4 following 8 years since the original release, I wanted to take a step back and consider the possible things Id like to see in a future game that would principly require an entirely new installment to justify their implementation.

Maybe you will agree with some of the stuff I say, maybe not, but its stuff like this I think about a lot and since we havent has a dev diary in sometime i felt like a small yap session was in order. As an aside, I really struggle to make thumbnails that feel flashy or cool. It seems everyone uses a picture of their face or a face to represent their face, perhaps I should go to the isle of faces to aquire a face to wear in times of need...
