@rogercooper ok I find it hard to learn but am trying to
Some mods just suffer from feature bloat. Too many unit types and too many special features. A&A is basically a simple game and best TripleA mods are not complex.
My suggestion for the American Civil War on computer is Victory and Glory: The American Civil War. I have not seen a good TripleA mod for it.

@rogercooper Find it harder to learn than GW 1936. That one at least has axis and allies as a skeleton. This one is too different (resource management) for me to easily learn. I think this map kind of told me not to go too far with my map
-
@board-3659 yea I tried it a few times when I first found triplea. It was a bit much for me. I've seen people say it's probably the most unique triplea map.
Some cool stuff for sure but my brain just had trouble with it.
Used to be somebody who played it frequently. Can't remember who
-
@beelee I do think it's interesting though I think my favorite's are Steampunk Advance and Lord of the Rings: Middle Earth
-
@board-3659 If you want something different, check The Grand War. A unique alternate history with interesting units on map with only 190 territories.
-
@rogercooper OK thanks, I'll check it out

Here some maps that could be interesting:
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Domination_Map
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Jurassic?so=search
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Russian_Civil_War_(6_players)My experience is that the Domination map is too big, slowing the game. In additional problem is that designers often add many other things on to the Domination map. I just tried Domination-Weltpolitik, and was faced with a dozen player action choices per turn as the US.
Jurassic is a free for all, which is generally not interesting to play.
Russian Civil War is a good mod that I have tried in various versions.
-
@rogercooper OK thanks for answering. I like how big the Domination map is despite making the game slower to play.
