I might be wrong, but I think it is showing that the map will show relative technology levels of provinces when tech-interface is open (in the same way that the religion tab shows the patriarchates for orthodox players) Pisa is a brighter shade than other neighbouring provinces. (and none of the tech-specific buttons look like they are pressed)
Presumably because you might want to know where is advanced enough to make building trade posts useful?
Russian DLCs, too? Looks interesting, and I'll certainly get those. I want my Varangians to look cool. 
As for the actual patch, I just hope Paradox have bothered to link up all of the Italian names.

Love the gold-trimmed interface. Makes me really want a purple-themed interface for the Byzantines! Hint hint.
Not to be nitpicky, Petra, but how to tell you...
Poles are okay with the current set. From late 15-16th century onward you'd see different clothing styles but within 1066-1453, it should be pretty much the same as the core that works everywhere. Surviving post-Visigothic Spanish nobility wouldn't be that much different, unlike perhaps the general populace. Small-scale, I think there could be visible differences between Longobardic Italians and the rest but even Spartenos Greeks from Naples possibly wouldn't look the "dark and handsome" way we'd imagine in 21st century.
Thus the way things currently are is good IMHO.Edit: Ooh and just because I'm cheeky: Patrician is an Italian title of nobility. In theory, it's below cavaliere but above a simple nobile. Napoleon's father had the title. Some European rulers would list patricianship of Venice or Genoa or some other powerful republic after the lordships in their lists of titles (e.g. the Savoys did). It was very hereditary.

I was hoping it would come out by christmas... uggh... I start studying for the Florida Bar exam January 1st until February 25... it'll have to wait till after
Clearly the most important part of this DLC is the wine cellar in the family mansion.
Where's the link to the leak that says there's Russian portraits? I've never heard about that. (Though that would be great...)
Interesting. So the good news is my CPR mod has some more faces to play with. The bad news is that my wallet is going to cry. Awesome.
Does this work with all cities, or just republics proper? I hope so, would be cool for big cities like London to have powerful families vying for trade dominance.
I'm curious about that myself. Does every city use this new mechanic for determining the 'heir', or is it only a few big ones?
How moddable are the new mechanics going to be? Can we make merchant republics that have less than 5 families? Can we make them inland? Can we make them out of only a sub-county city?
EDIT: Can we, as Doge, usurp the republic and become hereditary feudal lords?

I must say I'm interested to see the effects of this DLC on the balance of the game, with Pisa now independent and Pisa and Genoa as king-tier nations, not to mention Swedish dominatin in the Baltic (and really - an Aztec sun as the Gotland CoA?, is Gotland so ahistorical that they even brag about it?). Not to mention the increased wealth of the republics, and their new armies and fleets.
As a side note: it seems that republics are immune to factions, at least on Duchy level.

It would then be followed by the Yuuzhan Vong invasion DLC. SPACE INVASION!!!
