Epic land connections between West Africa, East Africa and Tripoli while deleting idiotic Spanish colonization in Mauretania will improve Africa soo much

Actually deleting that colonization without giving Sub-Saharan Africa historical vision will choke their ability to westernize + get into general gameplay mechanics.

As for sorties, they should carry a risk of failure = instant occupation. They might be more useful as an option for a defending force join the main army in battle rather than attacking a carpet and losing.

Italy and Spain need more provinces waaay before you start strengthening France.
Doesn't Castille get two? I agree that Italy could use one of two more.

I would love to see two extra provinces in the northern netherlands. Since EUIII release that region didn't get an extra province.

That would make it very hard to select them on the map.

I've added fourteen in Northern Italy without having particular problems with selection. There are a couple of small provinces, but mainly by design.

Disclaimer: yes, fourteen /is/ overkill. Just proving the point.

So... any speculation on 30 Years War mechanics?
I think it will work like the Great War mechanic in Vic2, maybe it will be more event driven?
So once the Protestant Union and Catholic League are established, countries can join into them and when tensions are high enough, the war will break out.

Would be interesting to know, if non HRR members can support one of the faction, or if you need to call them via an alliance.

Definitely need to separate out Umbria and Marche, at the very least. Urbino as a nation naturally with a port just irks me. Monferrato would be nice as well.

Fourteen is not an overkill, if anything you can add even more:

There should be a new alternative to a colonization that doesn't need a colonist. The majority of countries conquered areas that are considered empty land without any colonist. This should be reflected in AoW too. To conquer a empty province you must have a land connection or if it's a island it must be close enough. It would cost mil points, gold, and manpower.
