Description

Years before Europe went to war, Japan’s imperial ambitions targeted the divided Chinese Republic. Crippled by political paralysis and centuries of fitful development, China is still not a pushover. With vast reserves of manpower and resources, not to mention a giant landmass, the Republic of China and its temporary ally, the Communists under Mao, can withstand another aggressor. There have been, after all, very many.

Waking the Tiger is the newest expansion for Paradox Development Studio’s celebrated World War II strategy wargame, Hearts of Iron IV. This expansion adds new gameplay options for all players, and has a special focus on the Asian front of the deadliest war in human history.

Features:

  • National Focus Trees for China: Guide the Chinese Republic or Communist China through the war, guided by your own vision of the future.
  • Modified Focus Trees for Germany and Japan: Two major Axis powers now have alternate history paths, including the chance to depose Hitler or restore democracy to Japan.
  • Chain of Command and General Traits: Put multiple armies under the direction of a field marshall to coordinate large movements of army groups, using the traits of your generals to take advantage of their unique skills.
  • Decisions: Spend your political power on national decisions and missions to strengthen the war effort.
  • And more: Scavenge equipment from the battlefield, use Volunteer Air Corps, acclimatizing troops, and other changes.

    HoI4 Leaps Forward*****

    Waking the Tiger basically deepens the new features added in the free patch. Esencially, more decisions and commanders management (more options for traits and special actions). It also includes new national focuses for Chinese actors and Japan (which improve dramatically a WWII theatre which was not working well in former iterations, like Sino-Japanese war). It also includes some alternative history options for Germany, which are fun to play. In conclusion, Waking the Tiger is an important leap forward -pun intentended ;)- for Hearts of Iron 4.

    A solid purchase*****

    Probably the best addition you can buy, especially if you are interested in playing as China or Japan. Also adds a Chain of Command system, which overhauls some of the military organization.

    Nice addon*****

    Very good addon to those who like HOI4 and play it with Germany, China and Japan. Little bit pricey at full price but worth on sale.
