Darkest Hour is a total overhaul mod for Hearts of Iron IV. Beginning in 1933, the world is still reeling from the effects of the 1929 Wall Street Crash. With the rise of extremism in Europe, the uneasy peace that ended the Great War appears to be on the verge of unravelling, and the world's nations vie for their place in the sun.
The 1.0 release for Darkest Hour contains content for all seven major nations (UK, USA, USSR, Germany, Italy, France, and Japan), as well as content for Ethiopia and Poland. Content will begin in the year 1933, and will run all the way through to the end of the Second World War.
There are also many interesting alternative history paths that can be taken, such as the Alf Landon presidency and Operation Groza: the Soviet invasion of Germany!
Other new features include:
- 1933 Start Date
- New historically accurate army, navy, and airforce set ups
- Dual Leadership
- Parliament System
- Monetary System and Great Depression Mechanic
- A brand new map with more detailed states
- New ideologies and sub-ideologies
