I don't remember russia being like this in vanilla, so what is up with russia in darthmod? Maybe historically they should be very powerful early in the game, but why is it that they can continue to grow their military non-stop without expanding their empire? I didn't even bother to fight them and try to take the rest of the world because it would have taken a huge amount of time and troop spamming to grind them down for about 12 provinces. About 3 turns later I looked back, russia had about double my NEW military with most of the world vs russia with like 12 provinces, they shouldn't have been able to even come close to matching me. I noticed that their military strength was still more than triple mine, so I went around to all of my towns and just started spamming military to get my prestige to be higher, it got to the point when I had a few hundred more prestige them them so I stopped spamming units for a couple turns. I once did a british campaign, and I conquered every province in the americas, most of india, and most of europe (except prussia and russia). Early in the game they have by FAR the most military prestige, and it just seems to grow exponentially from there.
Russia's military strength seems grossly out of proportion with it's number of cities when playing with darthmod.
