The map has also been modified to improve Germany’s position to compensate for the disadvantage of being in the middle of the map. Also, several changes have been made to make sure that Russia does not have an unfair advantage.

England no longer starts with Belgium, Holland, or the North Sea. Instead, they control Norway and the Black Sea. This makes it easier for the British to attack Russia and makes it harder for the British to attack Germany.

Also, players will now have the ability to build forts. Forts have the same cost as armies, and give extra defense to a territory, but they cannot move. Germany starts off with three forts that make it harder for opponents to attack them.
