Made an account basically to ask these two questions, heh.
1) When making a custom nation, does it have to be on uncolonised lands?
2) Can you make custom nations while in Multiplayer

As someone who basically always plays multiplayer, this is deeply important for me.

I double these questions!

Jippie, one more dlc which is euro-centric and doesnt add mechanics to the Non-Europeans. Well, thats because the game is called EUROPA Universalis, right?
This game could be a masterpiece, but instead we get dlcs which offer no real content (And still Paradox will demand +10 $ for this one, the blind fanboys/consuments will buy it anyway), the game is still boring in peace-times and Non-Europeans still play like Europeans in shitty ("Hey, lets give the Siberians the same tech-tree as France but because they are SIBERIANS, we give them a malus in the research-reate, so they unlock "Pike and Shot" 50 years later then the French! A perfect fitting, the history perfectly representing system!").
Whatever, i am out. Wake me up when Paradox finally has the balls to change something groundbreaking.
Nobody likes to listen to complaining, man. If you don't like the expansion, don't buy it. Otherwise, please keep your self-righteous vision of what EU4 should be to yourself.

Disappointed that Meso- and South America are being prioritised over eastern Asia, which aren't being done justice at all. Nice to see specific religions in the Americas, though. Encouraging human sacrifice as protestant Aztecs led by glorious King Moctezuma de Valois... Well...

Well, I hope it doesn't mean that we have to wait for the bug-fixing patch until next month (especially the attrition bug, which makes the game unplayable for me personally)...

So there's no improvements on peace time or Orthodoxy and Protestantism yet...?

I am actually disappointed but I feel I am in minority. None of the new features excite me. Was hoping for some in depth peace time mechanics. But good for everyone who likes it.

Assuming you can just insert nations anywhere with the designer instead of just uncolonized land:

Is it possible to create multiple new nations, then choose to play any of them or even none of them?

I'd enjoy spawning some new countries in the middle of the more annoying blobs to see how history winds up developing with these wrenches thrown in. I tried to use the CK2 converter to make that happen, but it was... difficult.

As a pros:
Colonizing should be more fun.
Playing new religion seems interesting

As a con:
Not something I'd like (like peace time management, internal politics etc.) as I don't want to play colonisers never more.

We don't know the patch features yet.

Bugfixes aren't features, and religious improvements would have been mentioned.
