About Hearts of Iron IV: By Blood Alone
About this DLC
The latest expansion for Paradox Interactive’s World War II grand strategy wargame, Hearts of Iron IV: By Blood Alone, brings along new alternate history options, new nations, and other changes.
New Focus Trees
Follow Mussolini's Italy, or combat it with the Italian, Ethiopian, and Swiss Focus Trees, and prove the might of whichever nation you think can win the Second World War. Can you remain neutral, or will you defy the odds?
New Aircraft
While the expansion boasts 67 new plane models, you also have the option to design your own planes. Can you craft the fastest interceptor or the most durable bomber? Both dogfights and wide-scale destruction can be yours if you can create it.
New Diplomacy Options
With new Peace Conference options allowing you to demilitarize entire nations, or even claim enemy resources as reparations, you no longer have to destroy to get what you want. Hostile nations can also have embargoes imposed, preventing them from trading if they get too feisty towards others and generate world tension.

Hearts of Iron IV: By Blood Alone User Reviews

Math
Verified purchase
The Italian tree and plane design kind of make it worth it, but the Ethiopian tree is quite difficult (which, to be fair, is to be expected) and the Swiss tree is extremely limiting.
If you like customizing vehicles such as ships and tanks in previous DLC, the plane design is neat.
Overall, only half the DLC's content is really worth it, so make of that what you will.
