I tried to love this game but it is just bad. The game feels really incomplete with old dlc being obsolete. Aside from total conversion mods, you cannot have fun playing this game. It is just so limited and you are never able to do what you want even if that is a very small thing. Ai is completely braindead to the point where they harm you more than your enemies. Most older focus trees have you wait for 70 days to get 1 civ and 3 building slots and it just feels pointless to play something other than majors yet most of the majors also have very outdated focus trees.
The path Paradox took with this game is just stupid, rather than fixing focus trees of countries that actually have impact you have rushed and unsatisfactory trees like Iceland, Switzerland and Ethiopia.
The only fun non-major countries in this game are Poland and Finland but even then the game will find a way to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you (communist poland gets justified on by soviets even if you give them the east, finland needs to garrison a demilitrized island to get an achievement but they usually cannot garrison it before the soviets invade it etc.)
Don't even get me started with supply and navy.
