Generals!

It’s a new year, so we’re preparing for future content. To this end we are starting up a new round of Developer CORNERS.

Before we continue I want to set some expectations and clear things up. By now you know we have two main types of Developer post:

Developer Diaries

  • Give you more detailed insight into content that’s more or less finished and is being polished

  • Start appearing closer to release

  • Give you a chance to ask our developers questions, and perhaps even let us know if there’s anything glaringly obvious we missed

  • (and may still have time to either fix quickly, or already start planning to include in a future Patch; being a Day-x, or a War Effort.)

Developer Corners, like this one, serve a different purpose. They:

  • Need your feedback, specific to the DC

  • Should be short and to the point

  • May or may not include any images

  • May generally give you some idea of something that might come in future content, but it’s not guaranteed

  • Are not usually planned far ahead. Instead, if at any point any developer has something they want to get feedback on, we’ll pick an upcoming weekly slot, probably Tuesday or Thursday

With that out of the way, the first topic we’d like your thoughts on is Siam.

The next DLC of Expansion Pass 2, Thunder at our Gates is coming in Q2, so while we continue to work on it we’d like to know: When you think of Siam in Hearts of Iron, what are you expecting? What’s your player fantasy? And lastly, are there any interesting characters or equipment they used that you really want to see?
