Many really enjoy the series but it isn't for me. CK2 and EUIV though I really enjoy.

Funny, I just installed (an uninstalled) EU:Rome. Most regard it as the worst EU title, but glad you found something to like about it, aaatoysandmore [:)]

I just can't get into them and this last one IV I can't even see the words. They just kept making the font smaller and smaller until finally it's no longer playable for me.

I agree with you there Wodin, CK2, EUIII, EUIV i can play, not expertly, but understand and enjoy them.
Hearts Of Iron II and III i have tried over the years but they give me a head ache.
The new version oh Hearts Of Iron looks like something i might be able to wrap my head around

When you choose a historical battle plan do you still have to give the units orders? Or do they then follow the battle plan?
Yes! (Real wargamers do not require eye candy!)ORIGINAL: battlegroundvehicles

When you attack an enemy you can use battle plans to do so (draw a line where you wish them to advance and they will attempt to fight their way there). If you so choose you can also order individual divisions. You can also set a drop back line and your army will retreat to it and defend. View some of the excellent YouTube videos to get a feel for the game.
There is a settings where you can set nations to more or less stay closer to how things played out historically but that is not a guarantee that things will go completely historical.

You need ot look at CK2 as a story telling program where you have a bit part..I think many feel lost as there is no sepcific objective to the game and you feel like you must be doing something all the time. HOI though I don't get on with at all.

HoI 4 is the best grand strategy I've played in ages, and best one out of the series so far. It doesn't even suffer from the chronic problems that most Paradox releases do. That said it does need a lot of balancing and work on the AI still, so patching is required. Say what you want of Paradox and eye cnady but the interface they have designed and perfect over the years is light years ahead of the competition.
