can you change the name of the buildings, it is silly building a "courthouse" in Paris, or a "stock exchange" in every single province, or my favorite a temple. Because a city as big as Berlin for example will have many temples, many courthouses, many barracks ... etc, but a country will have one if any stock exchange

It's very easy to change those names in the localization files if you so desire.

Can we get a release date ... ?

+1 if only because it sounds like you're in the late stages on this.

Nice changes, btw, especially the previously announced Curia improvements.

I propose another improvement - ability to set different than general maintenace to single army or navy. For example during peace i want to keep my transport and military navy on low maintenace but trade fleet on full. Or when i have peace in europe and just fighting with natives in america i want to set low maintenace for homeland army but high for colonial forces.

Well, at the very least, you can have your CN's do your fighting in the new world while your armies sit at min maintenance :)

Would be super nice if there was an idea to make buildings cheaper in terms of monarch power, perhaps within Administrative. If you're a small nation then 10 power each isn't too much. But when you're playing somewhere big like France, or Russia, you can end up losing somewhere in the 100s of MP. Which could be better used on ideas or tech.

These are some great interface improvements. The selective call allies (with information on WHY they will or won't join! :D) and the yellow morale bar for below-max maintenance in particular are some changes I've wanted to see for a while. Great move to implement those changes, now just make sure they work correctly without bugs. ;)

I agree these and the previously mentioned changes seem to make WON a must buy.

I am interested in the building changes, I just so rarely use buildings at the moment that it seems a waste.

I agree that seeing that I am about to have my army wiped cause I forgot to increase maintenance again will be a great change.

Do we also get to control who gets called into defensive wars? And "defensive" wars like the ones you enter into when you vassalize somebody who is at war? It would be nice not to have alliances get semi-permanently wrecked by auto-CTAs.

Not to mention the issue of not wanting your lower tech group allies/vassals in the war (or as England not wanting your little European allies to be available to be gobbled up for war score).

All in all, this sounds like an awesome patch and I'm looking forward to seeing how buildings were re-balanced as they badly needed a buff. I just hope the CTA improvements includes the ability to not call your allies into defensive wars, because it's real annoying when you inherit a defensive war from either force-vassalization or your CNs screwing up, resulting in losing all your allies who you might've had for 200 years due to the auto-CTAs.
