A few things that have irked me

I bought EU4 when Common Sense came out. I love this game, but a few things need adjusting. The advisers you get should be based on the level of income, it is annoying when I get a level 3 adviser when I play a small nation like Brandenburg or Byzantium, etc. Also if I don't have diplomats or am in a regency council, can I look at the Declare War screen and not be able to click the declare war button. Also we should be able to change the difficulty when playing on Ironman mode. Also some new battle sounds that evolve with the military techs you have would be great.

- Advisors thing would be improvement, for example game balancing that low income countries at least always have one +1 advisor in each field (dip/adm/mil).
- Minor thing to look at declare war screen, it would be handy so why not.

- Ironman is kind of bragging mode, its not supposed to be easy ^^. Achievements are important part of the game for many players (me included), EU4 has done good job so far.

- More sounds, free yes please . Maybe there are some mods with it its worth a check, there are already good free music mods you can install.

Another thing that really irritates me is when I pay to get rid of an adviser and I get the exact same type next month. One time in my Byzantium playthrough I paid to get rid of the trader and I got him three times in a row, until finally I got a diplo rep guy.

I'm a little pissed off by Portugal which never helps in late game. ( Espacially against Italian nations, because Austria i can understand but please use your 300 ships please. )

This is one of the reasons why +1 Advisor idea is useful, so thats kind of ok. The idea could still use a good buff to hiring (cost reduced) new advisors for this exact purpose.

I personally would like more dynamic ideas by nations. Currently, a lot of nations pick set ideas. For example, you always see Portugal, England, and Spain colonize. Maybe Norway, France, and Brittany sometimes. I would like to see more nations pick different ideas. Maybe a game where Spain doesn't care for colonization, but Morocco wants to get stronger and gain more land and power, so colonizes the new world to do so.

It's something that's always bothered me. I want more ahistorical ideas.
