@Schulz I was recently playing Domination 1914 and I saw two problems.
The way the Russian Revolution is handled is very ahistorical. They are there at the start in 1914 and have their main base in Siberia, which historically held against the Bolsheviks for longest. They should pop up in the middle of the war instead.
The other issue is that Americans have trouble entering the war. The AI builds ships and planes but few ground forces. Faster but more expensive transports might help.
The world map is good either way.
