Tiles Galore Expanded Provinces

Welcome to "Tiles Galore: Expanded Provinces," a transformative mod that significantly amplifies the tactical depth of the game by nearly doubling the number of provinces. Experience unique features such as diversified terrains, heightened strategic depth, and nuanced battle dynamics that redefine the face of conflict.

In our pursuit of refining the art of war, we have meticulously added approximately 6,500 provinces to the game - thus far everywhere but the USA and most of Asia(WIP) . These aren't simply divided territories but distinct battlefields, each designed to challenge your strategic prowess and redefine the face of conflict.


"Tiles Galore: Expanded Provinces" redefines warfare in Hearts of Iron IV, turning each battle into a multifaceted dance of decision-making. The battlefield is now a complex mosaic of strategic opportunities and challenges. The importance of Divisional Organisation, Combat Width, and Encirclement tactics is amplified in this intricate landscape, where each province is a crucial element in the grand chessboard of war.

Every new province is a potential pivot point in your grand strategy, a stage for decisive battles, or a path to execute intricate maneuvers.



The dense forests of Europe and the Americas, now divided into numerous provinces, can become a maze where a well-planned Blitzkrieg can result in devastating Encirclements, or a treacherous terrain where unprepared forces suffer from Attrition and low Organization. The arid deserts of Africa and Australia, now populated with additional provinces, will test your ability to manage Supply Lines and Infrastructure, with every province won or lost potentially altering the balance of power.

The increased number of provinces enhances the complexity of combat scenarios. You can fortify key provinces to create formidable "National Redoubts" that resist enemy onslaught, or plan meticulous Breakthroughs and Spearhead maneuvers to capture crucial Victory Points. Exploit gaps in the enemy's Front Line to perform Cut-Offs, isolating and destroying enemy divisions. Use Delay tactics to fall back to a more defensible position while inflicting maximum damage on the pursuing enemy.

Rivers, mountains, and coastlines gain strategic importance with the expanded province count. River crossings now demand careful planning and can serve as natural defensive lines. Mountainous provinces pose a challenge for Armor and Motorised divisions but offer a defensive advantage to Infantry. Coastlines, dotted with more provinces, can become launching points for numerous Naval Invasions.


With "Tiles Galore: Expanded Provinces", the dynamics of battles are fundamentally transformed. Command and control structures become more nuanced, necessitating a deep understanding of your Order of Battle. The mod expands the scope for operational art, where the placement and movement of your divisions can shape the outcome of battles, campaigns, and the war itself.



The increased number of provinces places greater emphasis on effective use of the Battle Planner. Precise execution of Battle Plans, such as Front Lines, Offensive Lines, and Fall Back Lines, is crucial. Do you concentrate your forces for a decisive breakthrough, or do you spread them out to hold a wider front?

The dynamics of Unit Types also change. Rapid Response divisions can exploit breakthroughs in the enemy line and rush to seize key provinces. Armored Spearheads become more potent, capable of deep penetrations into enemy territory that can lead to devastating Encirclements. Specialized Infantry can hold onto vital provinces in difficult terrains, providing the backbone of your defensive lines.



"The Dynamics of Battles in Tiles Galore: Expanded Provinces" challenges you to adapt and overcome, to think strategically, and to plan tactically. It invites you to delve deeper into the mechanics of Hearts of Iron IV, to master the intricacies of warfare in this grand strategy game.


The world of "Tiles Galore: Expanded Provinces" is not just an expanded map; it's a fundamentally reshaped theatre of war. With nearly double the number of provinces, the geopolitical landscape of Hearts of Iron IV is transformed, offering a deeper, more immersive gameplay experience.



In this expanded world of "Tiles Galore: Expanded Provinces," every decision you make, every division you command, and every province you conquer carries more weight and impact than ever before. Each addition to your realm isn't just an increase in your power, but a story waiting to unfold on the grand stage of World War II.

The terrain of each province plays a bigger role than ever before. The Saharan desert is no longer just an impassable barrier, but a challenging maze of provinces that could hide a daring flanking maneuver. The dense forests of Eastern Europe could conceal a deadly encirclement or a desperate last stand.



Can I use other mods with this one?

Yes and no. "Tiles Galore: Expanded Provinces" should work fine with mods that don't modify the game's provinces or map. However, compatibility with total conversion mods or other significant map-altering mods can't be guaranteed.

Does this mod impact game performance?

Contrary to what you might expect, "Tiles Galore: Expanded Provinces" does not degrade performance. In fact, in some instances, it may improve it. Here's how:

Improved AI Decision Making: The increased number of provinces can lead to more decisive and efficient AI movements, reducing the frequency of needless unit shuffling and thereby lessening CPU load.
Streamlined Battles: With the finer granularity of the map, battles can often be more direct and less sprawling, leading to fewer units being engaged in a single large battle, which can reduce graphical and computational strain.
Optimized Pathfinding: The additional provinces provide more routes for units to take, potentially improving pathfinding efficiency and decreasing the computational demand of route planning.
