With the machine advances during the last decade this gives us the biggest benefits in development when it comes to gameplay and AI. The biggest advantage from going 3D though was the ability to offload more to the GPU. Going 3D meant we could do another type of architecture where we could support more screen resolutions, and develop our maps in a quicker way. Changing to 3D graphics helped improve other areas, as Andersson explained: The AI can also remember and compare strategic possibilities as circumstances change. The game's artificial intelligence (AI) was designed to be able to achieve strategic objectives and control forces delegated to it, including whole theatres of operation. Īlthough happy with the scope of Hearts of Iron II, lead designer Johan Andersson wanted to improve upon every aspect of the game, starting again with a new engine.

Paradox also released a series of developer diaries and video showcases. The first trailer from the Games Convention in Leipzig showed new features such as 3D graphics, possible due to the new Clausewitz Engine. The player can use a multitude of different divisions, fleets, and warplanes to engage in combat with enemy forces. Nations are more likely to side with factions that they are ideologically and diplomatically aligned with. All other nations can slowly align with one of the factions. The game centers around three factions: the Axis (led by Germany), the Allies (led by the United Kingdom), and the Comintern (led by the Soviet Union). The player controls virtually every aspect of their country, including production, research, diplomacy, warfare, politics. Hearts of Iron III allows the player to take control of any nation in the world and guide that nation through World War II.
