On the United States' Double Resource Cities in 1939 Historic World War

In my opinion, a country's double resource cities (in HWW) should be their most important cities. So I find it interesting that Baton Rouge is a double resource city, but not San Francisco or Los Angeles. Currently, all of the USA's double resource cities are in the eastern part of the country, and three of them are within close distance in the northeast. I think spreading out the USA's double resource cities by putting one on the west coast would make the game more balanced.

USA is overpowered on the HWW map. The amount of resources and manpower that USA can produce makes it almost unstoppable in the hands of a good player. USSR is almost as strong, but it starts between Germany and Japan, so the USSR player has to fight for survival. USA can just play the long game. Develop the economy, research advanced units, and then just steamroll everyone.

The best fix for those double resource cities is not to have them at all.

But all countries start with five double resource cities, and altering this for fairness the defeats the point of Historic World War. Why not play World at War for a balanced round?

I don't know. That map is always an S show. Toxic noob takes Germany, launches a reckless attack in all directions, gets bored and leaves. Until there's a min level requirement to take one of the major powers, the map will remain unplayable.

Says you, I’ve had plenty of run ins with competent players in majors. Best games you can possibly play tbh. Alliance wars on HWW are more fun than any WAW I’ve ever done.
