this game is fun with friends. conquering and crushing them and allying with them...but without them the main issue is the ai is incredibly lame and predictable. like its just terrible. like i understand theyre trying to follow the history but if you go off the rails historically they mess you up for no reason. like EVERYBODY is in an alliance, so if you want to war with 1 country theyll usually ally with your enemy and now the world is on fire because i just wanted a small island nation of tropico! my actual story was as germany i took over lithuania while allied with russia in an alliance. so lithuania joins the allies but france and england dont invade me cuz of russia guarding my borders. so after lithuania is conquered, russia immediately breaks our alliance, joins the allies and takes lithuania. its crazy stupid! like there is never an option to be friends with the allies in 1936 when hitler was a cool guy to them! like its not great with diplomacy and the strategy is easy cuz again dumb ai 7/10
