Paradox Announces Arsenal of Democracy
PRESS RELEASE posted on 8 SEP 2009 by Jim Zabek
A fan-created mod adds new features to the game.
Paradox Interactive are excited to unveil a brand new Hearts of Iron game entitled Arsenal of Democracy, set to release on PC in December.
Developed by BL-Logic, a development studio made up by fans of the Hearts of Iron series and active member of the modding community, Arsenal of Democracy is the ultimate World War II simulation and is described by Project Leader Lennart Berg as Hearts of Iron II on steroids!
Describing the idea and process behind the creation of Arsenal of Democracy, Berg goes on to say, During the years of the Hearts of iron II lifecycle, I made a list of improvements in the forums and these became the guidelines to the new game. So we went ahead and implemented these along with many more ideas until we had pretty much replaced and enhanced everything from the original. The end result, in our very humble opinion, is the ultimate World War II simulation.
