Garrisons will be a slow drain on manpower and equipment, with the drain depending on the resistance and compliance levels of the state. The Garrison Management ScreenĪbove is the screen that will be used to manage your garrison in occupied territories. However, this patch removes that requirement and instead the garrison system occurs off-map. In the past, players had to order divisions to garrison troubled areas to remove resistance. The biggest part of the free patch is the garrison overhaul.


This patch will introduce new ways to impact resistance and an overhauled garrison system. Resistance to occupation was an issue historically, but it has been a shallow mechanic thus far in game. The next update to Hearts of Iron IV will overhaul the post-conquest process, modifying how garrisons function and introducing intelligence agencies.
