One of my major gripes with EU IV is how the mission system tends to stagnate after about 1500 (assuming a 1444 start) on most nations. It becomes the same four or five missions popping up, unless of course you are catholic in which case two of the mission slots are dedicated to appeasing the Pope.
In order to make the mission system more helpful to the player I would like to suggest the addition of a goals option. Basically this would be a bar above your three mission slots where you could choose a goal which would cause the missions to focus around that goal. I.e. Unite Great Britain [Vassalize Scotland, Fabricate Claims on Ireland], Colonize India [Discover India, Have a Colonial Company Become Dominant], or Subdue Rivals [Fabricate Claims, Embargo, Insult]. There could also be goals exclusive to nations, such as The Reconquista for Castile/Spain or Restore the Glory of Rome for Byzantium. Granted there will be people who won't have a specific goal in mind and for them I would recommend a goal like Rule as I See Fit or F*ck it I'm Arumba.
A possible bonus to choosing a goal could be while it is active you receive a boost to your nation based on what type of goal it is. I.e. +10 Colonial Growth Rate for colonization goals, +1 Missionary for The Reconquista, or -10% Ship Building Time for trying to become the dominant navel power.
