Eveytime I try to play any of the games with this engine that aren't Crusader Kings, my eyes just cross and I end up installing. It just looks like walls of numbers as far as the eye can see.

Humble Bundle removed the ability to adjust the distribution of your purchase amount to ensure they get a significant portion of each purchase. Fuck em.

They appear to have set a minimum amount for their cut?  Just tested it, and the lowest it would let me go with a "custom" distribution on the 22.49 bundle for all 8 was 4.50 for them.    I suppose a 20% cut is probably a bit high, but I don't know if I would go so far as to call it "significant".

All depends on what exactly they do with that cut though, I suppose.

Oh they added the sliders back in after everybody complained, and then 2 months later they changed it again to set a minimum for themselves.

You do need to invest a bit of time learning HOI4 - youtube videos etc since the in-game tutorial either doesn't exist, or sucks - can't remember which.

But once you grok it, its a really fun look at WW2. The national focus trees are a fun way of directing your country in a particular direction - assassinate Hitler, return the Kaiser and buddy up with King George - that kind of stuff. Go fascist as the USA and buddy up with Hitler, or have a second civil war.

And then there are mods like Kaiserreich, where Germany won WW1 and Britain and France become communist - fun stuff to play with.

HoI 4 is the Babby's First Grand Strategy game: it is vastly easier than CK, EU etc and you can largely ignore swathes of it (I have never clicked anything on the diplomacy tab in years of playingm while spying is as ignorably pointless as it always is in these games.
