In the Cold War, US espionage spearheaded many such regime changes, particularly in South America (I'm not defending or denigrating this policy, just stating a fact). In HoI2 it was way too hard to force a regime change with spies. Seriously, as an American, I understand that espionage can have huge effects, some that surpass pure declarations of war.
It was weird to see a Fascist PR of China for example.Ģ. I really liked in Making History how you could form new nations out of old ones, although there needed to be a name and flag change to accompany that. Sure, I know that you could set up countries as puppet states in HoI2, but I always felt that this section of the game could be improved a bit. An option, like in Making History, to use a high warscore (like 70-80%) in a peace treaty to force a government change to match your ideology. EUIII has tons of neat things that could easily be translated or transformed into modern day issues. I know these games are about warfare, but it would be awesome if they could simulate the struggle over influence that existed after WWII in the Cold War.
I kinda hope they give me some more options and push the series into the modern world a la Doomsday.
