Smolensk vs Russia war being just a car crash is very true. When I played it last time in MP the war lasted 25 years and multiple people joined it, left, and then had time to join it again after the truces ended lmao. Russia won but at the cost of 3 million core pop and it crippled them for the rest of the game.

Tol is actually very fun, saxony run has a straightforward path, england run is also straightforward, otherwise you can take the german former colony in cuba and create USA but german(without the slavery)
I just tried it on my good computer that has a Ryzen 5600X, and speed 5 was significantly slower than vanilla because the mod developer thought it'd be a good idea to have the campaign start with over 600 countries at once
New Era is a bit broken, everyone don't have spheres, so when the game starts, everyone just start declaring war on everyone else. Love the aesthetic though.
gfm is stupid, they put a patch so that the ai never adds wargoals in peace deals. which completely guts any possiblity of dynamic game scenarios that aren't "russian empire lose great war, gets dismanetelled now 30 states exist in siberia that did not exist in the real world when russia actually got dismantled"
ToL really has the potential to be the next DoD but the awful performance and also really weird gameplay hold it back. Can't convert pops only change their culture? Beyond stupid.
