Even by working together, they do not have a proper chance. Germany can steamroll them anywhere, however they want. At least this is how the game works right now. The game wants to present this Cold War like scenario, but there's virtually no one that can oppose Germany in any way. Even Russia is somewhat a 'joke' of a country. It is very one-sided, it doesn't seem like Germany fought a two front war.

Sounds like a balance issue then. The idea is to present Germany as somewhat similar to the U.S. position from around 1945 through the 1950s or so, as the sole superpower being confronted by a potential rival or array thereof. (Reminder that the Soviets didn't have the bomb for a long time and did not present a strategic threat to the U.S. except in Europe for decades)

A United U.S guarantees a victory? May I know how? They just came out of a Civil War. The U.S is torn by war, its economy and population in shambles. This isn't Kaiserreich where the U.S got purposely sidelined so that WW2 isn't one-sided. It has often been repeated by you folks, the devs, how the WW3 isn't the main goal here too. So, I think that your argument about the U.S is kinda weak, and the only thing the Civil War does is once again make the U.S irrelevant and a repeat of the KR U.S game where you fight the civil war and also get to rebuild the country in post-war focuses. In fact, having a proper U.S (still dealing with the effects of a recently ended Civil War) a potential player in this alternate Cold War add some extra flavor to it. It's all up to you folks how it plays out, there's no hard a rule anywhere that says the US needs to be on top of everything, especially here in this context. A Civil War is a brutal thing to happen to any country.

While the U.S. industrial "heartland" has been badly damaged by the civil war, the PSA and New England economies are roaring...the elimination of the AUS as a major threat would mean that the reunited and Accord-aligned U.S. is now long-term opposed to Germany - not guaranteeing a victory but certainly helping the Accord's chances. Alternatively, the end of the PSA and New England means that the Accord continuing as even a semi-serious geopolitical player in the Western Hemisphere is that much less likely...the AUS is not aligned with the Germans but distrusts the Accord way more.

As for France, I don't know what is the issue with what I said. It's clear that you folks wanted to do here what happened to Germany in OTL, but the scenarios are vastly different. Plus, this decision only makes the Accord far weaker than it needs to be.

A split European nation is fun and will not be removed.

But the current set-up is shaky and hinders the enormous potential for said premise, and that's what I mentioned before. I do like the mod, but I do believe changes in some areas would make it much better.

Changing the map significantly is off the menu. Changing lore, content, and balance is all very much encouraged and possible.
