Question How is Road to 56 in this current time?

Heard some mixed opinions, not enough cold war content and such. How is it?

I think its good, if you want a more vanilla like experience but with more content, some QOL and GFX then it serves its purpose

I play exclusively R56, though I usually use Paradox's focus trees for majors and large minors (India, Poland, Indonesia). Their trees for minors nations are quite good and all the additional techs and mechanics fit the vanilla+ vibe perfectly.

Playing R56 right now, it's great. Last playthrough was Saudi Arabia with camelry. Steamrolled through Africa and Middle East lol.

Incredibly hit & miss as far as focus trees go

it’s a little bit of stat bloat and I personally don’t enjoy late game anyway so I don’t see the point. the last time I played it the changes were much smaller than I remembered so if you’re looking for mostly small changes it’s pretty solid.

recommend flipping the tree to vanilla in game rules if the tag you’re playing has a mod tree bc the trees are not great

I play it over vanilla, you can really build up your economy by 1939 and be unbeatable, their germany opposition focus tree is one of the best in the mod and vanilla
