Paradox dévoile ce week-end avec cette très belle bande-annonce un futur DLC au thème qui devrait retenir l’attention, à savoir celui de la Résistance face à l’occupant allemand en 39-45. Et donc par extension sur le thème de l’espionnage, des opérations de sabotage, des mouvements de résistance mais aussi de collaboration, et dans une certaine mesure des moyens de détection et de répression de ces actions menées par des agents secrets. La modélisation de l’arbre des priorités nationales sera ainsi revue pour mieux refléter ce que furent la France libre et le Régime de Vichy. Et la campagne sur la guerre civile espagnole profitera elle aussi d’améliorations notables. Probablement de belles perspectives ludiques pour qui est intéressé par ces sujets passionnants, mais aussi difficiles à retranscrire dans une simulation.
