Missing Features from EU3

[Leore]

• Trade Leagues/Trade Agreements
• Spheres of Influence
• Actual detailed populations in regions which presumably attributed to your manpower as well

I started playing EU3 again recently and I was really disappointed on how some of the best features from that game were left out come EU4. If these were implemented to good effect, EU4 would honestly be the best EU game in the series, but without them I still find myself attached to EU3 more despite its wonky diplomacy system and odd lack of restrictions on distant policies against other nations (Norway warning the Ottomans in 80% of the starts as a union partner under Denmark?). Please consider adding that depth back into EU! It made peace time a lot more interesting than it is now, and I see a lot of people complaining about that aspect on the forums and how it's lacking.

Please and thank you.

P.S For the most part I cannot stress enough how I want Trade Agreements/Trade Leagues over everything else on this list. It's just a feature I feel the game -requires- given its time frame. It just feels naked without it.

Leore. There is only one feature from EU3 that I miss, and that is the EU3 Horde Mechanics. Was more fun to play as a horde or to fight against hordes back then.

What that I loved in EU3 was especially the music (combined with eu2), and the modifiers of nobles power and centrelization affairs. I don't think there is need for the modifers arrows to return, it was not good enough, but the power of nobles need to be represented in the next DLC together with the rise of absolutism and constitutionalism, so that high stability leads to centrelized state with absolute monarch power. There should be revision in the whole system that switch government types for points. But even in EU3 it felt so real that you can't gain so easily full control if your country like you have in EU4. Internal politics and scientific innovation must be represented somehow in the next main DLC.

BTW, make the hansa a league and not unified nation like in the awesome expanded vanilla mod I believe is needed also

Not sure about the other two but trade agreements/rights and trade leagues would definitely be very much welcome!
