I am now exceptionally confused.
I knew about Arsenal of Democracy when Paradox announced their 'Europa Engine' program, along with For the Glory remake of Europa Universalis II. A team of dedicated modders recreating an older Paradox game with new features and improvements, whilst getting paid for it as well. A fantastic idea in other words. It even has been expanded to Europa Universalis III, with Magna Mundi (as I am sure many of you already know). The bottom line is that I knew that Arsenal of Democracy would be the modder re-imagining of Hearts of Iron II.
But now I hear about Darkest Hour, another expansion made by modders with a commercial release. It sounds great; a new map, the campaign being extended to 1914, refined espionage and much more. However, I thought they already had their modder game for HoI II. Is this a brand new game? Is it an expansion to AoD? Will it be worth buying AoD knowing that Darkest Hour on the way? Could someone kindly help straighten out this situation for me?
