Surprising probably no one, grand strategy specialist Paradox has announced another expansion for Hearts of Iron IV at its annual jamboree, PDX Con. It’s called La Resistance, it doesn’t yet have a release date, and it’s all about espionage and local resistance movements. Espionage has a new gameplay layer, the intelligence agency (Great Britain has the SIS, for instance). You can keep your intelligence-gathering simple with just a few defensive spies, or invest more, upgrading your intel branches or developing new ones. These might include a cryptology department, which is inspired by Alan Turing’s work on the German enigma code at Bletchley Park. Crack the enemy’s codes, and you get to choose when to deploy a hugely powerful passive buff, but the enemy will notice and change their codes after 30 days. You’ll also be able to develop networks of spies in hostile territory, and certain actions have been folded into this system. Coups, for instance, are now spy operations, and can be more precisely targeted as well as defended against - operatives can be captured by the enemy and will likely leak information under torture (but you can give them suicide pills to defend against this risk).
