Age of Industry Expansion: Belgium & USSR

Two new regional maps add alternate markets and infrastructure to the base game. The Belgium map is tuned for two players and models early industrial Europe: textile centers in Flanders, ironworking in Wallonia, and dense coal reserves in the south and east. Players build and upgrade transport links to move goods across a compact, export‑oriented market and compete for efficiency amid limited domestic demand. The USSR map supports three to five players and simulates the Donbass coal basin during Stalin’s First Five‑Year Plan. Players develop heavy industry and resource extraction within a planned‑economy framework, balancing state‑directed expansion with constrained logistics and regional growth.
