Hearts of Iron III: For the Motherland Review
If you are reading this review (and odds are, you are) then you know about HOI3. It is a big game, much bigger than almost any other computer game I can name. The original release strove to recreate just about every important facet of World War 2 (and some unimportant facets to boot). Like so many Paradox games it was big, buggy and hard to play, but brought a lot of strategic depth and a real feel that one was running a big country. “Semper Fi”, the first expansion, was mostly just a giant patch which brought improvements to the AI, interface and stability.
Given the expansive sweep of the original game plus the polish added by “Semper Fi”, one might ask what is left to be done? The version of the Clausewitz Engine used for HOI3 has been stretched to its limits and beyond just to get the game to the state it is in now. This review will cover the changes brought to the game by “For the Motherland”, but first a brief recap of the base game.
The player takes on the role of a “guiding spirit” of sorts, a veritable Illuminati of your country. You can take actions as diverse as appointing a new cabinet minister to upgrading your aircraft carriers’ engines to setting up trade agreements. This is not a simple war game, but an attempt to simulate in a real-time, grand strategic game the economic, geographical, technological and historical factors that surrounded the war. One could imagine learning a lot by watching a replay of the actual war played out in the Clausewitz Engine used in HOI3.
The problem this introduced was that running a war is a complex business. While some obsessive-compulsives would enjoy countless hours poring over minute decisions, most players would be primarily interested in a few areas (perhaps sea battles and logistics) while loathing the time spent on the areas they considered less interesting (maybe land battles and trade relationships).
The solution to this problem was brilliant. Gameplay was divided up into several areas: Diplomacy, Production, Technology, Politics, Intelligence, Theaters and Statistics. The player could set each of these areas (and sometimes sub-areas) to AI control. The AI, in general, had to be able to make these sorts of decisions in order to run its own countries, so why not allow the user to let the AI make those decisions for his?
This solution is both the pride and the downfall of HOI3. The pride because this is obviously the way all future games of this scale will be written. It is both such a good idea and so obvious it’s hard to believe no one had thought of this before. It is the downfall because the AI plays like the “after” picture of “Flowers for Algernon”. You know, after the super-smart serum wears off. This poor AI performance was improved in “Semper Fi”, and is slightly better in “For the Motherland”, but it is still pretty bad.
It is hard to overstate the importance of a good AI in HOI3. The game is so complex that attempting to play without AI help is an exercise in micromanagement that only an IRS auditor could love. The combination of important (should I join the Axis, Allies or Comintern) and trivial (upgrade my tanks’ engines or my subs’ AA guns) decisions simply sucks all the fun out of the game. Playing a large nations such as the U. S. can lead to a tech advance (and consequent decision on what tech to research next) every 5 seconds or so. And that doesn’t count troop movements, trade agreements and political maneuvering. Without an AI to handle the boring parts one is left pressing buttons rather than playing a game.
So, rather than devote the entire release to improving the sub-adequate AI, Paradox added a few new features. And did not issue a manual.
The nicest new feature is the concept of “War Aims”. Now, when your nation enters a war, it can declare a “War Aim”. The idea of war aims is to allow limited wars. Once could, for example, declare war and state that your aim was conquest of territory. Once that was accomplished, your nation could declare peace and get a nice bonus in the form of enhanced stability and morale. Wars that do not have stated, limited aims or that conclude without the aims being reached are hard on a nation, often creating widespread instability. It’s a nice mechanic, borrowed from other Paradox titles such as Europa Universalis.
Also new is a Partisan system. This allows you to create/equip partisan forces in enemy-occupied countries. This is a neat opportunity for a little underhanded play to give your opponents fits. It is a nice nod to the French and Polish resistance movements. Unfortunately it comes across as just another mechanic in a game overfull of them, and is not likely to have much of an impact on the war in any case.
The Theater interface has been revamped and many statistics were added to the display in order to give the gamer a better view into the situation on various fronts. Although a good idea in the abstract (if you are playing this game and don’t want to see more information you are playing the wrong game) in the case it just highlights the ineptitude of the theater-level AI.
HOI3 was built for hard-core grand strategy war gamers. It stands alone at the top of the heap for breadth, depth and detail. “For the Motherland” does not change this. Don’t get me wrong – this is still a much deeper game than anything the “Total War” series has come out with – but the flaws in HOI3 are still to look irreparable.

The new Partisan system and Theatre Interface are just a few good improvements this expansion has to offer. However, only few of the older problems get fixed and the extra options will only make it harder for a newcomer to get into Hearts of Iron III. Gamers that are familiar with the franchise will however be happy that the most realistic WWII game ever, just got a little bit better.

This is an end-of-life expansion for the HOI3 franchise. It adds some (minor) new features to the original, but does not do much to fix any major flaws. It is not worth 20 bucks to anybody but an HOI3 completist.

Maybe it’s becauseI reviewed this game a year to go and revisited the game with the latest 3.06 patch. How much can change in a year? Plenty. Maybe it’s because of all the negative feedback Hearts of Iron 3 got, maybe it’s all the bad publicity for the much maligned Swords of the Stars 2, but somehow Paradox is starting to show some maturity and some corporate decency and instead of shovelling rubbish to consumers it’s finally saying no poor quality control.
Hearts of Iron 3 For the Mother Land Patch 3.06b revision 2 is probably the best patch Paradox has ever put it. The game is finally getting a long overdue map revision, that is closer to reality. The interface has been improved and polished to a high shine and the game is finally getting some decent Ai, sort of. While the AI still makes silly moves, the Ai at least provides the gamer a somewhat decent opponent. Sort of, if you’re not too fussy that the pacific theater is still far from finished. But it’s the largest step in the right direction that Paradox has ever taken. I’m rating this game and expansion an 8 from a resounding 0 from my previous review.
I now highly recommend this game to any strategy grognard out there. There’s still long ways to go to provide the strategy gamer a decent Pacific theater of operations, but it’s come a long way.… Expand

As Germany you will get a few D-Days in France and the Low Countries, but I found these easy to beat back. Beyond that I didnt see much new with the AI. The addition of a Theatre screen and partisans is minor in the over all scheme. As for the people who think this should be a free download: You cant blame Paradox for charging for these little downloads for niche games. They arent selling like Call of Duty or GTA. In depth strategy games are hard to come by.… Expand

The latest expansion of Hearts of Iron 3 which claims to have multicore support.
This multicore support however is only working for the AIThe latest expansion of Hearts of Iron 3 which claims to have multicore support.
This multicore support however is only working for the AI controlled units which is hardly stressing the cpu, the game itself however makes 1 core run on 100% on a 1090t.
So basicly this causes a bottleneck making the multicore support pretty useless.The game is very unstable, get used to saving every 5 min. since if you spend a few hours playing this game its possible the game crashes around 20-30 times.
Also there are plenty of bugs in the game, the AI control which has been spend so much time on by making it multicore support basicly does nothing you want.
If you as a player want to give a AI controlled army a order to invade a certain area it simply doesnt do it.Gameplay is pretty much like every other RTS, the game claims to be very open and that you can strange history.
This however is not the case, for example playing as germany and simply not invading poland and not annexing other countrys.
And you still get declared war by france and england.
This makes the game pretty much a closed ending RTS game and not the supreme ruler idea that you run a country.… Expand-

Paradox continues the trend of downloadable. ….. content? In reality there is little new content, and is quite obviously a $20 patch. TheParadox continues the trend of downloadable…… content? In reality there is little new content, and is quite obviously a $20 patch. The game was riddled with bugs that rendered the game almost unplayable upon release. They have a niche market and are milking it dry by charging for patches disguised as an «expansion». It is infuriating that such a great game and developer has followed a rather new industry trend of releasing an unfinished game and charging for patches to complete it. That being said the game is the best ww2 rts there is, none even come close to its depth. You can easily sink 8 hours into this game and not even realize it, it is hands down top 5 for any serious RTS player.… Expand

Five reasons this game is absolute s h i t e !
1. I needed community support to even start the game.
2. Game-mechanics are somewhatFive reasons this game is absolute s h i t e !1. I needed community support to even start the game.
2. Game-mechanics are somewhat booring. Rather limited options for doing anything, and unless you know the tricks you’ll be doing absolutely nothing the first half of the game.
3. This game is drudgery galore. It’s main game-mechanic consist of organizing your troops into a proper chain of command. Doing this is about as time-consuming as in real life. A cluncky and unintuitive interface makes this chore into your own personal hell.
4. HoI3 is spent waiting for something interesting to happen, but it never does.
5. You have to go online to learn how to play the game.… Expand

Pros: The World War II scenarios are fun at first; the graphics look much better than Hearts of Iron II: Armageddon when the game isn’tPros: The World War II scenarios are fun at first; the graphics look much better than Hearts of Iron II: Armageddon when the game isn’t stuttering into a low frame-rate oblivion.
Cons: Worse music than Hearts of Iron II: Armageddon; the AI for the game is quite dumb, very much worse than it was in Hearts of Iron II; game has a much reduced scope from Hearts of Iron II: Armageddon; idiotic «neutrality system»; super-long loading screens; a huge amount of problems with realism and history in the game; the huge amount of tiny provinces destroys the performance and fun of the game; the good graphics destroy the framerate and make the game seem to go by ten times slower than Hearts of Iron II; feels like a huge unnecessary waste of resources to have a 3D graphics engine for what is essentially a 2D board game; game is so so bloated that it cannot run on older computers which could run Hearts of Iron II very well; this so-called expansion is a glorified, paid patch for a broken game.
Score Breakdown: Graphics 7/10, Sound Effects and Music 3/10, Realism 2/10, Game Stability 1/10, Gameplay 1/10, Loading Screens and Frame Rate 1/10, Replay Value 0/10, Game Publisher’s Ethics -100/10, Total Score 0/10
Conclusion: Overall a huge step backwards from its prequel Hearts of Iron II: Armageddon. Instead of playing Hearts of Iron III or any of the Hearts of Iron III expansions, buy Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday with the Armageddon expansion and perhaps try the game Darkest Hour.… Expand

Is it necessary to love one’s homeland? How to write this word correctly? What was Pushkin’s homeland? Answers to these and other questions from the point of view of historical lexicography
Prepared by Evgeny Shaulsky

In elementary school, many learn that there are two words for «motherland»: one is written with a capital letter and means the native country, fatherland, and the second is written with a lowercase letter and indicates the person’s place of birth, hometown or village. However, later it turns out that even in the first case, the use of a capital letter is optional. However, the presence of these two meanings of one word in itself is an obvious fact of the modern Russian language. It is easy to find confirmation of it in the main explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language. Here is Sergey Ozhegov’s dictionary:
“Motherland, -y, female.
1. Fatherland, native country. Love for the Motherland. Homeland defense.
2. Place of birth, origin of someone-something, occurrence of something. Moscow his b. India r. chess.»Sergey Ozhegov’s Explanatory Dictionary, 1949–1992
And here is Dmitry Ushakov’s dictionary:
«Motherland, s, f. nine0018
1. Fatherland; country in which a person was born and a citizen of which he is a member. « We love our language and our homeland…» (Lenin). Protect the homeland. The entire Soviet people loves their socialist homeland and defends it with their breasts from all encroachments. The Soviet Union — the second r. working people and the oppressed all over the world. “You prepared honest sons for your homeland” (Nekrasov). “Oh, holy homeland, what heart does not tremble, blessing you?” (Zhukovsky). Homesickness. || Place of birth of someone. R. Lomonosov — the village of Denisovka near Kholmogory. || trans. Place of origin, origin of something. R. potatoes — America.
2. trans. The place where something originated. Soviet Union — r. socialist revolution».Dictionary of Dmitry Ushakov, 1939
Similar interpretations can be found in other popular dictionaries — the Dictionary of the Russian Language (the so-called MAS — Small Academic Dictionary), explanatory dictionaries edited by Sergey Kuznetsov, Tatyana Efremova and others. The authors of the last dictionary even considered it necessary to include a patriotic component in the definition of the word «motherland» : nine0004
«Motherland, w.
The country in which someone was born and of which he is a true citizen and patriot; Motherland».Tatyana’s Explanatory Dictionary
Efremova, 2000
And if you are not a patriot of your country, then it turns out that it is not your homeland? Ephraim’s dictionary does not give an answer to this question.
«Motherland» is a native Russian word with a transparent etymology. It has the same root as in the words «genus», «be born»; hence the primary meaning — «the place where a person was born.» Interestingly, in the old, pre-revolutionary dictionaries, the current main meaning (native country) of this word is completely absent. «The place where one was born» — this is how the «motherland» is explained in the Dictionary of the Russian Academy 1794 years of publication, as well as in all the main dictionaries of the Russian language of the XIX century. And in texts written during this period, «motherland» usually means hometown or village. Here is a very typical example. Ivan Dolgorukov, in his autobiography, which he wrote from 1788 to 1822, tells about his departure from his native Moscow to serve in St. Petersburg: “Father wrote that I was sent to Petersburg … <...> I had to part with my homeland, leave my parental home , break the habit with relatives, with consanguineous ones, go to a new world, live with new people. <…> Petersburg seemed to me a foreign land.” And here is a quote from a letter from Nikolai Gogol to Nikolai Belozersky dated April 12, 1840: “You said in your letter … that maybe someday you will visit my homeland, that is, in the village.” nine0004
The question arises: when did this word get its modern, our meaning — native country — and that solemn shade of meaning, which, obviously, the compilers of Efremova’s dictionary wanted to point out? Do we always understand our literature of the 19th century correctly when, when reading, without hesitation, we substitute the modern meanings of words for us? The two meanings of the word “homeland” played a cruel joke even with venerable literary critics, which Viktor Vinogradov drew attention to in the book “On the Language of Fiction”: “Historians of Russian literature, analyzing Pushkin’s unfinished story “From the Notes of a Young Man” as a story about a Decembrist, relied on . .. to an erroneous interpretation of the word «homeland». <...> The word «motherland» in Pushkin’s language did not have that sharp socio-political and, moreover, revolutionary meaning that was associated with the word «fatherland» (and partly with the word «fatherland»). Vinogradov supports his remark with references to dictionaries of that time, as well as numerous quotations from Pushkin’s writings. Indeed, according to Pushkin’s Dictionary of Language, the word «motherland» occurs 22 times in his works, but not once in this new meaning. nine0004

In our time, it is no longer necessary to have Vinogradov’s exceptional erudition (according to Alexander Chudakov, he read literally all Russian books of the mid-18th — mid-19th centuries) in order to be able to trace changes in semantic shades. It is enough to use the National Corpus of the Russian Language by searching for the word «motherland» and arranging its results in chronological order (by the way, this is exactly how the above quotes from Dolgorukov and Gogol were found). Viewing the found contexts will allow you to determine the prevailing meaning of the word in a particular period. nine0004
Corpus also provides an opportunity to test the statements and conclusions made by scientists earlier. In particular, Oleg Trubachev’s notes to the Russian edition of Max Vasmer’s Etymological Dictionary of the Russian Language indicate that «motherland» in the meaning of «native country» is found for the first time in Derzhavin. Obviously, this refers to the message to Vasily Kapnist of 1797, where the author, speaking disapprovingly of the then «destroyers», wrote:
So why in only a short life
We rush there, here,
To other lands from the homeland
Jumping from boredom or trouble
And to be warmed by an alien sun?
Move away from the ashes,
Who thinks from his homeland,
He runs himself.Gavriil Derzhavin
Meanwhile, when searching in the poetic corpus, one can also find an earlier case — Ivan Dmitriev’s poem «Seekers of Fortune» 1794 years. It is curious that the main idea of Dmitriev is the same as that of Derzhavin: there is nothing to seek happiness in a foreign land, but it is expressed in a different form, in the genre of a parable. Her hero sets sail in search of this very Fortune:
… How our wanderer went to Surat,
And often, often he looked back,
To your homeland: the ship then caught fire,
Now he ran aground, then he plunged into the abyss;
Always in awe, from death an inch away; nine0018
The poor man was furious, cursed — it is known, fierce fate,
Yourself — and everyone and everyone is pretty peta song!Ivan Dmitriev
However, as mentioned above, this meaning is extremely rare in the texts of that era. Of the many hundreds of examples of the use of the word «motherland» at the end of the 18th — the first half of the 19th century, we managed to find hardly a dozen.
The meaning of «native country» was fixed in the Russian language only from the middle of the 19th century, at the suggestion of revolutionaries and populists: first emigrants like Mikhail Bakunin, Alexander Herzen, and then revolutionary democrats Nikolai Dobrolyubov and Nikolai Chernyshevsky. Here is Bakunin, 1851: “In Western Europe, an endless horizon opened before me, I longed for life, miracles, wide expanse; in Russia, he saw darkness, moral coldness, stupor, inaction, and he decided to tear himself away from his homeland. He was echoed by Herzen in “The Past and Thoughts” in the early 1860s: “I, dear citizens, did not leave my homeland to look for another: I love the Russian people with all my heart, and I left Russia because I could not be dumb and an idle witness of her oppression … «Dobrolyubov, in 1861, publishes the poem «The Great Motherland»:
O my formidable sovereign homeland,
Dear holy fatherland to the heart!
Our Fatherland, Orthodox Rus’,
Our country is dear, dear!
<…>
Oh my homeland, protected by God!
How much space is boundless in you!
How much is hidden in you, dear,
Inexplicable and incomprehensible!..Nikolay Dobrolyubov
Nikolai Nekrasov, of course, contributed a lot to fixing this meaning in the language. From the poem «To whom it is good to live in Rus'» (1865–1877):
In moments of despondency, O Motherland!
I fly forward with my thoughts.
You are still destined to suffer a lot,
But you won’t die, I know.Nikolay Nekrasov
It seems that it was Nekrasov who introduced the phrase «Motherland» into use, which was very useful to the language later, during the years of the world wars.

Sometimes one even gets the impression that the revolutionaries imposed this use of the word on their ideological opponents. “They doom their homeland to a new death with a people-hated dream…” Mikhail Katkov wrote in 1863 in the article “Who are our revolutionaries? (Characterization of Bakunin).
In the dictionary of Vladimir Dal, the first edition of which was published in 1863-1866, two meanings of the word «motherland» are already taken into account, although the narrower meaning still prevails:
«Motherland, f.
Native land, whose place of birth; in a broad sense. land, state, where someone was born; in close meaning. city, village.Explanatory Dictionary of Vladimir Dahl
Here it would be appropriate to confirm our calculations with data from other dictionaries of the second half of the 19th — early 20th centuries, but, unfortunately, the long-suffering Dictionary of the Russian Language, which survived wars and revolutions, which Yakov Grot and Alexei Shakhmatov began to compile at the end of the 19th century, up to the letter R and didn’t get there. nine0004
One way or another, judging by the corpus data, by the beginning of the 20th century, the evolution of meanings is almost over. The meaning of «native country» is gradually expanding its use and comes to the fore, which is reflected in the dictionaries of the twentieth century, starting with Ushakov’s dictionary.
