    You should give Old World Blues another go. It has had massive amounts of content added since you last played on the channel. I would recommend playing as Lanius's Cohort or Eighties if you do, both are expansionist nations that can be lots of fun. There's also a monarchy in Manitoba, and we know how you feel about playing those.

    Hey Alex, just to let you know but navy in great war mod seems kinda broken. Something to do with mods ship types (like dreadnoughts) all being classified as battleships, so when the AI sees the amount of battleships, it retreats as it thinks it will lose, even though the ships are kinda crap. When i played I couldent get a single naval battle

    i know it's quite cheesy but... i recommend just doing the meta builds instead of using tanks. the other day i played A-H as well, i played with 30 width infantry/howitzer divisions (9/4s i believe) and i instantly won WW1 by like 1915. it's a lot easier to win a lot earlier by just spamming these out as much as possible, rather than using tanks that are really not great considering the tech takes years to get good at all. this is also without any air support whatsoever. i only produced inf equipment, howitzers, and a bit of support equipment. and won WW1 basically singlehandedly.
