I am playing Caucasus on that map and only have two provinces producing steel, while most countries have at least 3. That puts me at a bad disadvantage. I am building up level 3 infrastructure as fast as I can, but it is slowed down terrible by permanent lack of steel. Is that a bug or a feature.
When I read the section about coalitions right a coalition cannot win the map. Does that mean there has to be some forced backstabbing at the end to determine a winner?
