Demo - Bugs and annoyances

[Biges]

Hi!

Well, please put here what you don't like or what you even consider a bug. Try to avoid further discussion in a way: "How could you possibly dislike this, that is a great feature!".
I wish this be a constructive criticism
Also we may omit here things which can be modded like religion characteristics etc.

My bit, many of these were OK in EU2, HoI2...:

Messages:

- Autopause for messages missing.
- Message log always stays on the top where the oldest message is displayed, the newest one should be there.
- A differentiation of random events and historical events for events reporting.
- A pop-up and auto-pause for royal marriages proposals.

GFX:

- LARGER FONTS! They are small even for 19" monitor with 1024 x 768. (And my eyes are OK, I don't need nor wear glasses )
- Larger symbols for capital cities and COTs please. (OK, I guess it will be corrected in some mod like Graphical Improvements Project. The same with national flags (they remind me of the era of games for Windows 3.1 )

Edit:

I use CursorXP program (http://www.stardock.com/products/cursorxp/) which gives me nice looking cursors. But in most cases EU3 demo starts with this hi-color cursor which does not behave well in EU3, it just fails to replace it with its own. This does not happen in other games.

p.s.: The designers of EU3 are the same people as these of EU2?

GFX:

An option to deactivate most of the FX (like sea waves, unit animations) to be able for lots of people that can't have decent video cards to play with it.

* The sea waves animations are awful most of the time, it seems like the texture is distorted.

* I think there is a bug in the ''Sue for Peace'' screen. I pushed the button release nations and the game simply crashed.

* When zoomed out the display of armies and navies are very similar. You can only tell from the size of the flag whether it is an army or a navy. Maybe their shapes made to differ, too. Like army being a square and the navy being a triangle.

or the navies could use that country's naval flag.

I just don't like the fact that with France or Spain, you are able to expand like hell within just 28 years. Looks to me like a lot of tweaking has to be done currently...
Especially Spain, Portugal and France seem to send all their colonists everywhere, but it seems like not enough of them and all of them into the worst provinces....
