If it was more "play as Dutch East Indies" and happen to have the Netherlands...

A couple achievements are :

The Expert Defender:

For Netherlands and Belgium

Defend from Germany to defeat Germany

For Portugal

Defend from Spain or defeat Spain

Sorry 'bout that

Yeah, sorry to burst your bubble, but Bytro already said no.

I would have thought that from a player engagement point of view (and therefore also from the point of view of maximising gold purchases, which of course keep Bytro in the black) it would be a good thing.

Many players will choose their own country in real-life on the 25 player map, just for the fun of it. Given that European countries like Holland and Belgium are wealthier and probably have greater internet penetration compared to Manchuria and Mongolia, it would probably be better to have these (and maybe South Africa) as playable countries on the historical 25, than Tibet, Xinjiang and Mongolia.

Thanks for the suggestion. Having more minor european nations playable may be the focus of future maps or certain event maps, but we will likely not change the already existing standard maps.

A: Like in Conflict of Nations with the Koreas or Israel, a just overall weaker nation that only really good players will do anything with

B: A bunch of off-scale provinces to balance the game.

Maybe combine manchuria and japan? i mean manchuria was basically a puppet goverment from japan.

I think that's the idea, to give better players more of a challenge.

So Netherlands was good?

This would be great if they just added a few more cities for Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal. Adding a few for cities for other countries would make them playable as well.

Agreed

Well, I like adding cities since there's more provinces, but since the distance is the same, the enemy could blitz through them, gain more points than as just one province and harm you a lot. However, if defended well, this is a good idea.
