I've read for you all the DevDiaries (well I also translated them, so I had to read them first). i also read what Paradox and Gamersgate published. So here is a short abstract of what has been published so far.
(I may have missed some stuff)
- minimum requirement OS: Windows 2000, XP, Vista or windows 7;
300MHz CPU, 512Mb RAM (the OS alone may need more);
DirectX 8.0, 4Mb video card
- support all screen sizes, from 800x600 up to any size wide and 2400 pixels high (until WQUXGA for wide screens and QUXGA for standard screens)
- interface improvements
- five map modes, political map mode is playable ; cores are made visible or invisible by clicking the capital
- reworked top bar, information adjusts to the chosen resolution
- game helps (reducing learning step)
- reminders : little red flags as reminders and warnings (notifier) for the player (13)
- enhanced information windows
- much more tool-tips and many previouly existing reworked for more precise information
- more keyboard or mouse shorcuts (zoom: +/- or wheel, pause: F9)
- modern fonts, enhanced shields and flags (flags in million colors)
- new sprites (cities, units, buildings...)
- settings directly modifiable without reloading the game (language, font, style, music, mod)
- choice for resolution and between fullscreen and windowed mode
- modified and more user friendly ledger (direct access to a province by clicking the name)
- enhanced script engine
- no limitation to the number of actions in events
- trigger for actions and commands (define ai chance; discover the map; membership to hre, electors; set a good to a province; annex province; trigger on a tag; trigger isvassal, isoverlord; check the presence of a trading post or a colony in a province; etc.)
- new database engine allowing breaking almost all limits of the Europa Engine
- 2020 provinces, 1000 possible countries, unlimited number of cultures, religions, goods, terrains, technologies ...
- degree of historicity (Historical, normal, random)
- externalized values; makes easier to modify any parameter (almost nothing set in the executable, all variables have been extracted to be visible)
- more easily modable with the possibility to modify what exists but also add new elements on the same model
- different level in the datas (continent->region->area->province; christian->catholic->counter-reform)
- modifiable time frame
- game changes
- cores (national province, claim province, casus belli province)
- pirates and privateers (new leader) added
- rebels with full morale
- revolters changed in independant country get an army to defend themlselves
- specific land connections (through permanent terra incognita for example)
- other specific land connections that are blocked during winter
- conversion and colonisation chances computed at the end of the process
- reworked and added scenarios (more accurate setups, monarchs and leaders lists)
- reworked AI controlled countries behavior
- reworked manpower and supply/attrition models
once again, it is to be completed and it is only to give some idea.
