Question about HOI II

[SadExchange]

I'm a little confused with Hearts of Iron 2.

 

Does HOI: 2 Doomsday come with a complete HOI: 2? Or am I reading something wrong?

It's a standalone title which essentially contains all of the original game. Campaigns, scenarios, and so on.

 

Basically, all you need is Doomsday.

Alright, still confused. I want to get this game, so if I get Doomsday, will I be getting all of HOI: 2 also? Is it included in the game.

It's already been said a number of times, but I'll state it again: Doomsday has 100% of the features, functionality, campaigns, and scenarios of HoI2, plus everything else you've read about. If you don't already own HoI2 then purchasing DD will give you the entire game, as well as the yummy extra stuff. Because the exe (and a number of other critical things) is different, though, you would not be able to play MP with someone who hasn't purchased DD.

 

The only thing that I can think of off hand which is "less" in DD is that you will no longer have full intel knowledge on the ROTW; so the national comparisons screens (stats folder) data will be considerably more limited. (It's less info...but it's actually an extra feature that is tied into the intelligence folder features and functionality.)

Thanks, appreciate your help.
