awsome
-the universities part seems very intreasting and should certanlly encourage further strategical expansion

.
- awsome update regarding astrakan
-finally a playable russian minor by the sounds of it
-yes, hopefully the ai induced revolt events in colony will work properly and happen everytime they end in an andless war( and not just once, and the 5 years later the events do not trigger again, hopefully no "tag" command was used?)
-Stanislaw Zólkiewski is indeed intiguing. would open the way for a lot of possibilities. hopefully he gets 80 rebels with him too?
regarding the pope and the reformation. maybe add a quick log file (or something like that) so player does not get confused in many "event triggers" and will be able to trigger the "alternative" reformation as intended?
