说的极端一点，你游本来就是历史虚无主义，本来就是魔幻历史，也不止印度有争议性国策，如果上纲上线来说，一开始被锁国区就是应该的。这次的问题根本上完全和所谓的cn玩家民族主义无关，归根结底还是因为：
1、活太烂了，丝绸之路和印度八竿子打不着，丝绸帝国的版图也丑陋不堪，无论从什么角度看这都是愚蠢至极的设计
2、不公平。诸如tfr\极端未来\千禧黎明\冷战铁幕等很多mod，远比本体敏感，远比本体极端，但并没有受到如此多的争议。都玩hoi了整点极端内容很正常，但问题是你必须公平，你可以有你的的魔怔国策，我也应该有我自己的架空内容。而本体一方面给印度整各种烂活，一方面中国居然连西藏核心都不给，这种歧视性的差异化待遇才是被喷的最大理由，这怎么能甩锅给cn玩家呢

The most nonsense micro-management system a game can ever get...

Civilization VII was such a disappointment but luckily I can always play Hearts of Iron III. This is probably the best grand strategy game there is. Even after 16 years of I'm still regularly playing this masterpiece. Even with a few bugs here and there it's still a solid 6/5.

I tried to get back into this recently. It hasn't aged well. Way too many (often redundant) techs to juggle, clunky interface, way too much micro-management. It was a decent idea back in the day, but there are way better titles out there in 2025.

Hearts of Iron 4 = video game.
Hearts of Iron 3 = simulation.
When you have to spend 3 hours setting your soviet order of battle + additional 3 hours carefully planning and moving your divisions and HQs to their designated places (300 division, moving each of the individually) on the frontline, only for everything to fall apart once the war starts, you quit the game and go play HoI4 instead.
I have nearly 80h in this game and havent even started the war yet

Still the best. Hoi 4 is kind of shit. Tons of fun. Play it with Black ICE mod and you have more granular option than you can shake a stick at. One of my best gaming memories.

A timeless masterpiece. Far, far better than its unworthy successor.
Paradox need to stop fucking about and upload podcat's fix to Steam already though. It's unacceptable to offer a broken product for sale for so many years.
