Hearts of Iron IV: Arms Against Tyranny DLC ROW Steam

Rewrite the Nordic Saga

In the tumultuous backdrop of the years surrounding the Second World War, the fate of four Northern democracies hangs in the balance. Despite their size, Finland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden stand on the precipice of potential conquest, but through astute diplomacy or resolute resistance, they have a chance to change their destinies. This expansion, a brilliant addition to Paradox Interactive's celebrated grand strategy wargame, introduces fresh focus trees and alternate histories for the northernmost nations of Europe. It also ushers in the ability to customize weapons manufacturers and provides new avenues to leverage neutrality for the benefit of your own citizens.

The Winter War: Finland's Defiance

Relive the defining moment of Finnish history as you defy the odds in a war against a vastly superior Soviet adversary. While facing disadvantages in air power and armored forces, Finnish resilience and knowledge of their homeland offer a strong defense. Tailor your army to Finland's unique terrain to repel invaders, or craft your own alternate history. Strengthen Fascist sympathizers seeking a Greater Finland or pursue a socialist path, whether with or without Soviet support.

A Mighty Sweden: The Path of Neutrality

As the wealthiest of the Nordic nations, Sweden is ideally positioned for a path of rigorous neutrality, serving both as an arms designer and arms trader. However, powerful unions pose the risk of destabilizing your government unless you provide sufficient employment opportunities. In a world consumed by conflict, Sweden must modernize its obsolete forces to ensure self-defense. Can Swedish democracy remain impartial amidst its occupied neighbors, or will the government yield to monarchist or Fascist factions?

Norwegian Challenge: Neutrality Tested

Experience the historical challenge of a young industrializing nation striving to maintain neutrality in the face of German aggression. Quickly arm yourself to resist the impending conflict or opt for a path of diplomacy. Alternate histories reveal opportunities for unscrupulous domestic fascists to exploit complacency, seeking Nordic unity through betrayal, or for a Communist revolution to determine its stance towards Stalin's regime.

Danish Dilemma: From Neutrality to Unity

Years of steadfast neutrality have left Denmark ill-prepared for a continental war. Navigate the path of domestic harmony through robust welfare policies and skillful diplomacy, or throw your lot in with the democratic Allies, arming for the gathering storm. Alternate routes include pursuing the dream of a united Scandinavia or reviving the old Kalmar Union.
