He also broke out some graphs (wait, they're not as bad as graphs usually are) showing that yup, the number of active players per month is still going up. '60% of players use some kind of mod (although the most common stuff is things like colored buttons, or extra names for equipment), but what really makes me happy is how popular the big mods are: Millennium Dawn, The Great War, Kaiserreich and Road to '56 are all very popular and have daily playing numbers between 8-20%.'
HoI 4 game director Dan 'podcat' Lind shared the numbers in today's dev blog post: Paradox have also crunched some numbers from the past year of play, noting that the active playerbase is still growing, and sharing stats such as: 60% players use mods. The small 'Anniversary Pack' freebie brings Polish voices for Polish troops, twenty new portraits for leaders and generals, and twenty new icons for divisions.
It seems unconventional to celebrate what is essentially World War 2 kicking off but hey, Hearts of Iron IV launched a year ago today and Paradox are marking it with the gift of free DLC.
