Is it still worth playing?

A grand strategy game from the developer Martin Ivanov and Paradox Interactive, released in 2011, and the first Hearts of Iron not made by Paradox Development Studio. As in other Hearts of Iron games, you can take control of almost any country that existed in the period, which spans 1914 to 1920 or 1933 to 1964 depending on the scenario. You manage the political, diplomatic, espionage, economic, military and technological sides of the state. It is an evolution of Hearts of Iron II: Armageddon, and the team wanted community made modifications to be easy to bring over from the older game. A country of your choice in a world at war gives each campaign a different set of problems.
