Unfortunately the one feature I was most looking forward to in this update appears to be crap. To upgrade your fleets you have to park them in one province where they are then upgraded *one at a time* at the normal speed it takes to build them new. During this whole time you do not have use of your fleet. I sincerely hope this is fixed. Ideally it would factor in how many port provinces the player has and multiply the build speed in proportion to that (e.g. if the player has 5 port provinces the upgrade speed is multiplied by 5 + any build time buffs from buildings).

Also the fleet build template is essentially useless unless all your port provinces are right next to each other. Sorry Venice.

All ships are upgraded with one click.

Some provinces in western europe have been changed, look closely at Castille and southern France, Languedoc has been split into 2. Also balkans has had some changes to and Moldavia is now 3 provinces.

You are wrong. They are set to strength 0 and all repair at the same time.

So... any speculation on 30 Years War mechanics?
I speculate that it will sound amazing but will be stupid boring und buged in reality.
Seems like any nation in HRE (and probably also non-HRE-Great Powers) can choose one side and at one point a war will trigger between the two sides.

This looks so cool. I like the unrest and autonomy GUI elements, exciting! Also, it seems Candar is now Sinop at start? And Lithuania gained some coastal provinces in the Black Sea.

What culture group will the Goths be in?

Also Mexico and Peru look great, ripe for a DLC expansion with events dealing with conquest and evangelization/mestizaje, etc.

Have you noticed the small river in the top right of the province windows? Suspiciously similar to the

river crossings
