Welcome to the Developer Diary for Hearts of Iron 4
Hello gamer friend! Today, we're taking you into the world of Hearts of Iron 4 and delving deep into Norwegian alternative history. Are you ready to embark on a journey through time with us?
Leon Trotsky - A Prominent Bolshevik in Norway
Our protagonist for today is none other than Leon Trotsky, better known outside of Norway as Lev Trotsky. After being expelled from the Soviet Union, he ended up in Norway, where he continued to fight for his idea of permanent revolution. However, life in exile was not easy...
The events surrounding Trotsky
First, let's look back to August 1936. Knudsen's house, a friend of Trotsky, was ransacked by Quisling's thugs. This event marks the beginning of Trotsky's chain of events in the game Hearts of Iron 4. Political tensions escalated and eventually led to him being placed under house arrest.
Norway on the path to communism
But enough of the historical facts. Let's dive into the alternate history content of the game! In Hearts of Iron 4, you can decide which path Norway takes. You can choose the path of communism and revive the workers' movement. The choice is yours: Will you align yourself with the Soviet Union or forge your own path and bring about permanent revolution to the rest of the world?
Civil war and alliances
Once the proletariat is mobilized, you can trigger the communist revolution and fight against the old Norway. But be careful! Your decisions have consequences. If Stalin takes notice of you, it can mean many improvements for your industrial base - but also a close bond with the Soviet Union.
Or will you choose Uncle Trotsky? Then you will gain an additional advisor and general and lead your own communist faction - the Norintern.
Allied democratic branch
But perhaps you are drawn to the allied democratic branch? In this fictional scenario, militaristic industrial tycoons take control of the government.
