let me present you a new feature of RUS, the Strategic Map:
The Strategic Map is like a giant minimap.
As well as being more readable, you can notice some differences with the minimap:
* Armies are represented by squares. Fleets are represented by triangles.
* Squares and triangles come in 3 different sizes. The game allocates these sizes using a 3-tiered system, depending on the relative size of the forces on the map. So, if your army is among the smallest forces on the map, you'll get a small square. If your army is among the strongest, you will get the largest sized square.
* Hovering the mouse over the squares and triangles gives you a tooltip naming the forces they represent. Here I am pointing at the French fleet: We are in 1919, the French and the Greek Expeditionary Forces have just disembarked on the Ukrainian coast !
* As you can see, the minimap shows many colours, since it displays the forces' nationality. The Strategic Map, on the other hand, is displaying the factions, so there are fewer of them. This is because some factions control more than one nationality.
Multi-factions is the second new feature I want to explain a bit more about in this post
:
In the previous AGE based games, they were only 2 playable factions (E.g. The Blue and the Grey in AACW). In Revolution Under Siege, during the main Russian Civil War campaigns, there will be more than two factions at a time on the map.
There is always the Communists, of course (the red squares and triangles, on the Strategic Map), but the White Russians, for example, are divided in two factions: The Southern Whites and the Siberian Whites. Each of them can be played by a human or an AI.
The Southern Whites' faction controls the Southern Whites (obviously), the Don Cossacks (same faction, another nationality), the Northern Whites (Yudenich), and all western power forces that where sent into these areas (such as the French and the Greek Expeditionary Forces, but also the US Polar Bear and the English forces at Murmansk). On the Strategic Map, they are the light grey squares and triangles.
The Siberian Whites' faction controls the forces of Kolchak, and in general, all the forces on the East side of the Urals, allied with the Whites. On the Strategic Map, they are the white squares and triangles.
In a solo game, playing the Whites, you generally control only one of the two factions, and will have to let the AI play the other.
In a PBEM game, you can have up to 3 players: One for the Red, and two for the Whites.
Finally, some factions are not played by any human: The Greens, for example, are always played by the AI (the green squares, on the Strategic Map).
Some nation may change faction depending of events or of player's choices in the ledger. Makhno's anarchists, for example, may be an AI non-playable faction like the Green, or may join the Reds. The Whites can recognise other nations' independences and have them join the war at their side (The Finnish for example). Of course, getting those allies will not come for free !
Cat
, hence why the strategic map is useful. 
But I advise 1920 * 1080 it should look marvelous,
they should get stronger after empire ?
