...they work for me
The pictures from the 80s onwards are still broken.
I'm a bit concerned that still even the weakest of starting nations can grow to be the foremost world power. I have no doubt you played exceptionally to do it, Alknic, but it defeats the point of having such a disparity in power if any player-ran country will end up with similar positions and goals.
In fact I don't see why this game lasts so long in the first place, Victorian Era ended in 1901 and that's when this game should end as well. Not to mention that last 30 years of the game is when engine can't handle it and it lags like crazy.
