Hi guys,

I recently watched the great "World of Wednesday - Japan" HOI4 series. I noticed some cool features and improvements to HOI3 and i'm really excited about the game right now. I just have two questions regarding two minor subjects i wasn't comfortable with while playing HOI3 (Of course, I've already searched through the forums):

1. Is there an easy option to highlight certain provinces or sea-zones to an allied human player? While playing HOI3 or EU4 in multiplayer, i sometimes need support at certain sea-zones or provinces, but when i tell my teammembers via voicechat to send troops or ships, it usually takes a long time for them to find the correct province, even if they are able to spell the provinces' names correctly... :). I am aware of the fact, that there is an option to mark provinces (but not seazones) in HOI3, but I really would appreciate a quicker and easier way to do that in HOI4, since especially in sessions with many players using teamspeak, every unnecessary discussion can be bothersome.

2. Another issue are puppets and allied AI-Nations. Is there a way for a human player to influence their strategy? For example, could Germany give certain commands to Vichy-France? In EU4 there is already this great feature to determine the military focus of your vassals (i. e. aggressive, defensive, supportive). I dont know how difficult it is to implement this feature (or if a similar one is already implemented), but i really would appreciate an option to influence the focus of allied AI Warfare (maybe also allowing to choose, if the ally should focus on naval, air or land combat).

---
Keep doing this great job!

1a. In PDX games there is usually a "province finder" function included, tell your friends to use this next time :)
1b. I think it will be possible via the battleplan system since you can share them with allies

2. don't know that.
