During the day today, I'll be posting excerpts from the 1.14 patch notes. Here is the third excerpt, covering the Script part of the notes.
# Achievements
- Achievements relating to the Americas will no longer be possible if playing with a random new world.
- Some of the simpler achievements are now available for Custom Nations.
# Decisions
- Forming Courland no longer requires being independent.
- Removed Church Taxes, Suffragan Bishops and superintendents, as they were rather pointless decisions that tended to balance each other out.
- An emperor that fullfils the criteria to make the North Italian states stay in the empire will now be able to enact a decision that deactivates the event that makes them leave. This will also let the emperor see how close he's gotten to fulfilling those criteria.
- Forming Maya now makes you an empire.
- Forming Arabia now makes you an empire.
- Forming Ruthenia now makes you an empire.
- Forming Scandinavia and Germany now requires ADM tech 20.
- Bukhara no longer releases Sibir when forming.
- Forming Mughals no longer require to be reformed, but instead it requires 500 development and then reforms you.
- Reforming government for a steppe horde now gives you the Iqta government type if muslim or having a muslim secondary religion.
- The decision to change government into a Noble Republic now changes your government into an Oligarchic Republic instead, and does not require staying below 20 cities.
- Nomads are now blocked from forming most nations unless they reform (exception mostly being decisions that reform them, such as Qing or Mughals).
- Integrating Aragon via decision no longer possible if they have grown by over 10 provinces since 1444.
- Integrating Scotland via decision no longer possible if they have grown by over 5 provinces since 1444.
- Integrating England via decision no longer possible if they have grown by over 5 provinces since 1444.

# Events
- Removed trade_company_events.4 that would give a free fort in a TC province (worked very poorly with new fort system).
- The Iberian Wedding can no longer fire if Castile has less than 10 provinces.
- Newly independent colonial nations will now be given the choice of the most modern monarchy or republic they know of.

- 'Smugglers Dominating' event choice 'Stop them!' no longer causes stability hit, but costs more gold.
- The 'Merchant's Son' event option when choosing an heir for a Theocracy is now only -5 devotion instead of -10.
- Event added to ensure nomad technology countries remain Steppe Hordes.
- Scandinavian Constitution now gives lots of power to denmark, and then creates a rivalry between Sweden and Denmark.
- Removed the 'Financial Ruin' event, as it was a nonsensical newbie trap.
- Added event to clear historical rivalry between Teutonic Order and Poland if the former is a vassal of the later.
