Ok, hear me out here. If you want to have fun in this game you have to follow these steps: 1) Buy the game 2) Buy the dlc 3) Learn how to play the game 3.5) Play with some friends (Since you're playing a grand strategy game, I assume you don't have a lot of those, thus this is completely optional) 4) Download some mods 5) Completely abandon vanilla hoi4 since the base game is complete garbage compared to some of the mods that exist.
