While we're looking at France, can the province of Paris have its name changed back to Ile-de-France please?

It could also be Tenerife, the slightly darker Scottish flag.

I think he's pulling our leg by saying it isn't Scotland, maybe not in name but definitely regional. I'm hoping its something like the Cossack's revolt, or what happens post-reformation.

The very reason why they're putting straits is because they're unwilling to improve the naval AI. They're putting those nonsensical straits in all their games. And yes, you can bet England will suffer from this. Either England or France, depending on the RNG of the game you're playing, but I think it's generally going to be England.

Actually, I think they redrew Antwerp to its proper size and placement, spanning from Ghent to Loon, and gave it to Brabant instead of Flanders, as it should be! Probably means it's part of the HRE now too!

Also, GB might have been touched up. Cornwall is now split in 2!
Edit: AND a crossable strait between calais and kent!?
Edit 2: Is that the modern Scotland flag I see up the top? Possible replacement of the rampant lion flag? Maybe just a custom nation flag though.
That crossable straight is going to make so many people salty I can already imagine the influx of threads appearing.
The strait will only weaken france, as england can join in on bashing 'm, while france still needs to defeat navy/siege two provinces to cross.
The two sides of the strait *will* have a fort, right?

Being fair. The naval AI is never going to be good enough. At least not with the naval system we have with transport ships being the nightmare of any AI as they don´t know (And never will) how to use it and have too many of them killing their real naval power.
Transport ships have to go before the naval AI really gets a improvement in that area. As it is now the AI have to fight beetween transporting units vs fighting other ships and can´t handle a good fight / transport ratio. Too easy for players to kill the fleet, delete some ships, build the transports and go on. this for example is too much for a AI.
If you remove the transport ships all the AI have to worry about is fighting and keeping a good navy against its rivals.
How transport would work it exist lots of ideas from lots of people in lots of topic that exist on this forum. I remember 3 topics with a focus on naval systems last year.
Kent is under London ZOC.
Calais have a fort.
This is the situation in 1.14 from what i remember.
Its impossible to cross the straight without taking calai. At worst london have 1 year to recover its army and hold them on kent or try to take calai back.
at best its much easier for england to cross and block the channel turning the 100 hundred war a nightmare for france.

@Wiz Are you planning on expanding the province reworks to the modern French border? Since that border has been pretty established all throughout EU4's timeline and in the game currently, it's pretty arbitrary and inaccurate.

I don't think so. There's a Flemish fleet clearly visible in the place the port in Antwerp currently is situated, and the port in Ghent is also intact.
My guess: it's either a new Irish minor or they added Highland culture and it's a released Highlands tag. Or Scotland is now Alba.
Actually, it makes more of a difference than you might think. When I did BBB it took me a few tries and at least one of those I got to something above 95 in time. More significantly, any split provinces in the British Isles that have lower development will give you more provinces per ADM/OE/AE/whatever.
I would recommend trying it for anyone who hasn't yet. It's a nice achievement that is not too easy despite playing a powerful major.
Instead of having a straight between Dover and Calais, can we just not have an option to build the "Eurotunnel" with a great project decision. Just like Kiel and Suez

I second that. Never played major nation except Poland once feeling that game is already won when I am starting. Yet I tried BBB run and it turned to be challenging and enjoyable experience.
