Apologies I have not replied earlier.Yes it is possible to have new build Bunkers/Forts having Upkeep, yes you would need a different kind of starting Bunker/Fort.
For reference 2HP units like Battleship, Carriers, Tank-Hvy cost 2pu Upkeep. Bunker is the exception and only costs 1pu Upkeep, so long term are good value, but too many and they drain your resources.
Partisans were never in the design of the map, although historically accurate they did sap the strength of the Germans, I thought it was more of a distraction for the player and like in history would be suppressed with reinforcements from the west. I think the German player has a tough time especially if using Winter.
Having said the above if more players want Russian Partisans then say.
It was a design decision not to have resources other than PU as the AI does not understand them, see here.
https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/3743/how-to-make-a-map-ai-friendlyIn game there is enough of a draw to get the oil producing TT and they are also VCs so I think the map simulates it well. On the flip side when testing we did not have to balance the Oil Resource vs use in game.
However we did spend ages playing against the AI, making it better to give the solo player a cracking game 🤯

@iratoric The war should continue, but the issue is that I do not know how to code it.
It is doable if I know someone will show me how to code it.

@iratoric I was thinking the same.
Russia's nominal income is huge at 165 IPC (excluding Serbia). It is the penalty that makes them weaker than Germany and even weaker than France later. If the Allies capture the Dardanelles and Constantinople, the income debuffs Russia receives should periodically decrease and eventually be removed realistically. But at that point, the game would already be over.

Round 10 (20 May 17): -105
Round 11: (10 Sep 17)-120
Round 12 (30 Dec 1917): -150That debuff continuing even if the Allies succeed does not make sense either. So the game should end with an Allied victory even if they control only one capital.
The US will join in round 9 with a similar debuff to represent their mobilization process. Instead, their debuff will decrease gradually and be removed totally.
Round 9: -90
Round 10:-80
Round 11: -65
Round 12: -50
Round 13: -35
Round 14: -25
Round 15: -15

Round 17: -5
Round 18: 0The game is supposed to last 15 to 18 rounds.
