First of all, I feel that AoW is a tremendous improvement. The 30 Years War mechanics and less navy micro management are something I've longed for a long time.
I think the reformation mechanics could need some tweaks, though. The reformation feels quite organic now (finally!), but sometimes reformation centers are placed quite strangely. I've converted early as England, and my center got placed in Munster, Ireland, although the province wasn't even cored yet. The first center was placed in Finnmark, Norway, pretty much at the very frontier of civilization.
I think that a minimum province base tax is required for the placing of the centers. Its just odd and immersion breaking that some remote places become centers of reformation when actually just a handful of people lived there. Also I'd like to get some more feedback. The religious map mode allows me to check out which provinces are currently converted by reformation centers, but it doesn't tell me which center is converting which province. This could be fixed quite easily by adding this information to the tooltip.
Also, is there some kind of range limit for centers to convert provinces? I've noticed that sometimes there are three centers, but only two conversions are in progress. A tooltip might come in handy here, aswell.
All in all, I think this DLC is steering EUIV into the right direction. More depth is the way to go, keep it up, guys! Next stop: peacetime internal mechanics. Pretty please?
