Hearts of Iron IV LFG made simple. AnySquad shows live lobbies looking for players for a multiplayer WWII campaign — filter by ruleset and region, then join a game with real nations instead of AI that plays the same way every time.
Hearts of Iron IV against AI nations gets predictable fast — real players negotiate, ally and betray in ways the AI never quite does, and a multiplayer game plays a completely different war session to session.
Hearts of Iron IV is developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive. It has been on Steam since 2016. Multiplayer listed on Steam: multiplayer and cross-platform play. 90% of its 261,357 Steam reviews are positive. It is Playable on Steam Deck.
A duo is the easiest way to play Hearts of Iron IV with someone better than a random fill — one person you can actually talk to. For a full squad, post the slots you still need: a post that says what it is missing gets answered faster than a profile that lists what you play.
Hearts of Iron IV posts on AnySquad are tagged by platform, so every post you see is one you can play with.
Say how many players you need, when you play, and the one thing you care about — a mic, a rank, a region or just no raging. Leave out the rest: a short post gets answered, a list of requirements gets scrolled past. Once your group is set, close the post.
