Note: I don’t know how the AI for each country is, so take this with a grain of salt.
Russian Civil War is American Civil War 2.0
The Imperial side has more territory and a better economy, but their generals are not as good as the Soviet generals. (The Russians do have Ivanov, though, who is among the best artillery generals. Just like how the Union has McClellan which, whenever there is now a more recommended general or not, is still one of the best Cavalry generals in the game)
The Soviet side has a worse economy and less territory, but all of their generals are quite good, being all gold tiers and having mostly good skills.
So the strategy for the Soviet side is just like the strategy for the Confederates: Use their generals to grab as much cities as possible from the Imperial side and become stronger, while preventing the Russians from taking their cities.
There is a big difference, however. Unlike the Confederates, the Soviets have the Russians as their only enemy and don’t have to worry about another strong power attacking them from behind. In fact, it’s quite the opposite: The Soviets are allies with the Ottomans and the Austrians, who are both ready to attack the Russians.
Therefore I would say that the Central Powers have the advantage in the Eastern front, especially if you are playing as the Soviets. You can easily spawn some strong generals and use them along with the existing ones to deal with the Russians, while receiving help from the Ottomans and the Austrians. Since Germany is also an ally, you can do whatever you want after you win the Civil War since there is no immediate threat.
You can help control the situation in the Balkans, then deal with the Italians, deal with the Entente in Africa and destroy Reginald Bacon’s fleet. Then attack Portugal, then collaborate with the Spanish to finish the French off (And the Belgians if they are still on the war) and invade the British. (You can also send a fleet to take the Portuguese colonies in the Atlantic).
Then split your army into two groups: One will go to South America to deal with the Brazilians, the Peruvians and the French (And that American city in the Greater Antilles if the Cubans haven’t taken it). The other one will attack Quebec and help the Canadians, Iroquois and Mexicans against the Americans.

There is, however, multiple issues about the sides of the countries, some even about their strength:
-Canada being on the Central Powers side is completely unnecessary (Probably to give the British a reason to have troops in Quebec, since they are friends with the Americans now)
- Brazil is still a monarchy in 1914 (They were already a republic since 1889)
-There is no reason for Colombia and Peru to be on the war (Probably to give the Central Powers some influence in South America, AKA, for balance reasons, though Colombia is a minor power surrounded by another minor power, a great power and a middle power, all hostile. Unless the Colombians spam as much as the Italians/Neapolitans do in 1815, or Mexico has a giant economy that allows them to handle
both South America and North America effectively, I don’t expect the Colombians to survive Turn 15)
-Spain is there just to provide opposition to the Portuguese and the French (What’s even more wrong is that Spain, a country that DID NOT participate in WW1, is a GREAT POWER)
-Italy is not a great power, even though they were historically one of the major Entente countries.

Also, sadly, Japan is not there. Probably because putting Japan there would also mean putting Australia, China, Siam etc. which would make the Entente side bizarrely overpowered (Unless ET used their magic developer skills to make China a Central Powers country and to also create Separatist Australia just like they did with creating Separatist Canada)

I’ve played the Sovjets and the Russians are surprisingly strong they were able to launch a offensive into Turkey and take all cities between them and Baghdad+Damascus. And they took some Austrian cities. I think the central would have really struggled if I didn’t play as the Sovjets. Also it’s really easy to invade Britain, I was able to take it before Paris was taken |

The Entente Navy is superior in pretty much every way and just swarm you. My land campaign is slowing but I’ve reached Rome by Turn 30 |

Starting from the Sino-Japanese War, and ended with the Great Sea Battle of Tsushima Strait, destroying the Russian fleet. |

I can understand the choices of et, adding japan would be very difficult and even irl japan didn’t do much. This isn’t a insult to anyone but japan just took some island there was no serious contribution to the war |

Well well... Beseler and Hipper hit f***ing hard.
I can arguably say that Beseler and Hipper are both the best Artillery and Navy generals of the game. Lettow Vorbeck is very good too. Anyway, the Germans always had the most competent generals since Helmuth von Moltke (the Elder) took in charge. This man really made a great job.

Heihachiro looks like potentially the most powerful admiral in the game, I haven’t actually counted TA, but it’s close to Scheer and he’s an emperor.

I am so excited to see the Google update, the Japanese generals package is a must-buy for romantic reason, it's good if the 3 can really contribute in the game. Can't wait to test Togo and Hipper, a good reason to play those naval missions once again. |

Reading through this post, people that already could download the patch (iOS) speak that Moltke is now really strong. Sure, the mountain terrain buff helps him out, but unless I am missing something, he is still capped at 4 skills right? What makes him "so good" if skills are interchangeable but although he can reach top ranks, he can only hold 4 skills.

The Japanese gave significant naval contributions greatly adding the war effort, notably securing the vital eastern Mediterranean Sea route between the Suez Canal and Marseilles, and three hundred forty-eight escort sorties from malta containing seven hundred thousand troops,at the request of the British Admiralty after the resumption of German unlimited submarine warfare. In return for backing their territorial claims to acquired German processions.

In Reality they have a lot good general but not in number like Wrangel, Markov, Kappel, Denikin, Kornilov, Kolchak and White is Held Petrograd It’s Red capital at that time and they miss many red general like Stalin, Kamenev, Budyonny, Trotsky and I still wonder why Brusilov served white in 1917 he is red army organizer after civil war occur |
