The Rise of El Salvador: A Virtual Struggle Against Cartels and Global Powers
In a bold departure from the typical gameplay experience in "Hearts of Iron" (HoI) series games, one player decided to take a stand against drug cartels while playing as El Salvador, Central America's smallest nation. While the dynamics of a game centered around political and military maneuvering often manifest in less-than-moral decisions, this player resolved to eliminate the influence of drug cartels not just in El Salvador, but across Central America. This daring mission began with significant hurdles, setting the stage for a complex and multifaceted gameplay experience.
