tip: (idk if this is gonna help but this might ig) if it's a small war the invader/defender (if they win) they will only gain small amounts of land and for big it's like big gains (example ww2) and for borders use rivers or mountains, new sub btw.
Honestly that’s probably a realistic yet depressing way that the war is going to end, people like to hope Ukraine wins but that likely isn’t the case. Mainly due to incompetence in leadership, and a lack of manpower.
Why the hell would you give inferior states to the superior states. Illinois and Indiana do nothing but become a burden in this war. Wisconsin and Michigan should be taking them over. This is a joke btw
