@rogercooper The only difference between Steampunk advance and this have is more units. IDK maybe there are more changes since I haven't played the OG version. Can you also explain a bit more about the production value being unrealistic

[board 3659]

@rogercooper yeah another one is the communist having like 10 in a town in Siberia when St.Petersburg is only 3. IMO I use it less as the production capability of a province but more as how important it is to say nation (Mexico city being 7 would now make a lot more sense since Germany has a political and military presence in another country's capital)

[board 3659]

@rogercooper yeah I hate symmetrical maps, IDK what the appeal is tbh
