Paradox Asks ?Why Stop at WWII??
Company: Paradox Interactive
Product: Hearts of Iron II
Hearts of Iron II has barely been out on shelf for a month and its fans have already created a multitude of different scenarios available for download. Spanning from historical scenarios to the ?What if..?? there are enough player-created scenarios to keep you glued to the game for a long time.

Here?s just a sample of what gamers are currently working on.


  • C.O.R.E.: Expansion of the depth and realism of HoI2, thousands of historical events, a revised tech tree, improved campaigns, and new battle scenarios.
  • 1914: HoI2 completely reworked to make it suitable for the era of the first World War.
  • The Historical Stony Road to War: Will realistically drag the players into a WWII atmosphere, boosting A.I. performance, bearing completely reworked realistic combat balance, economy, and diplomacy with hundreds of historical events and amazing own GFX sprites.
  • The Cold War (1950-1995): Includes new Tech tree, Ministers leaders, Countries, Shields Flags, as well as sprites later on.
  • Starfire Historical mod: Enhanced ground combat and an extensive historical economic revamp.
  • The Alternate World/History mod: Includes a new world timeline where battles and wars in history had an alternate outcome leading to WWI never happening, the Russian revolution being in a state of stalemate, and the American civil war being won by the CSA.
  • The Confederate States of America: Steer the CSA through the crucial pre-war years and the second World War.
