Heart of Iron III sale on impulse

question weird pricing

from Elemental Forums

Impulse just sent me via email an ad announcing a sale on the heart of Iron games.  Heart of Iron III - complete mega pack is $52.

But Heart of Iron III base game is $9, Semper Fi is $6, and the Sprite Bundle pack in $12.   Total = $28.  As near as I can tell, these three are the same as the complete mega pack.  28 is much less than 52.  Am i missing something?

No you didn't. Impulse may have forgot to adjust the mega pack price. It looks like you'll have to add each item individualy to get the sale price.

Does it have a decent AI, for solo games?

LOL! Island Dog :andrew: screwed up :P

 

 

Hearts of Iron III seems to be extremely boring though! NO action at all! Just planning the logistics from what I've seen'n'heard....

I tried out the Rome and Europa Universalis games. They seemed to have great depth as empire management games, but I never got into them because combat felt dull: grouping up your armies from your provinces into 2-3 big stacks and attacking. I never touched Hearts of Iron III thinking it would be the same.

This would be relevant if HOI3 logistics have actually worked as intended since launch :)

HOI3, if anything, is less.... visceral than that. While I love the game, the combat is, if anything, more a heavily abstracted and number based than the EU games.
