im used to #2, i used to re-design the map and politics via excel, and create a modern world map.
i am downloading #3 now, i see theyve many times multiplied the number of provinces, but to me personally, its sortof pointless if i cant FIX the map
lets say i play ww2 20 times, and each time denmark conquers germany or something lame, i loved to be able to use excel to correct and fix the map, ultimately creating a 2000+ map
i even had russian federation bombing chechnya and stuff. it was sweet. i was russia.
