Hey I know i've ranted about similar issues before, but I still think there is some lacking in the information we are given as players. So here is some new and old issues.

1. It's hard to figure out if your heir is male or female. Sure it's easy to figure out if you (player) are European and the name of your country heir is "Maria" or "Albert". But can someone tell me which gender the name of "Irdana" or "Yadgar" is, without googling "male and female names of Central Asia" ?.
So paradox could you please use a "gender-symbol" next to the heir or even easier just use the correct term of "heiress" when it is a female heiress?!

Also a date of birth, shown when you move the cursor over the heir, would also be nice. Especially when you crave a war during a regency and need a new ruler ASAP.

2. Please show foreign naval leaders stats like you do with land leaders.
Also, in naval battles, how do you tell if the round is a fire or shock round, if no navies involved have leaders or they have the same stats??

3. Please when fighting battles just show the total number rolled ( dice + leaderstats - terrain penalty = x ) and not JUST separate numbers.
If you don't wanna change it at least give the advertisement department this text bite! "...so not only do you get a huge strategy game you can play for years, you also get a free mini-game!!! Everytime a battle takes place you will also get some small mathematical tasks of adding and deduction, so when caught you can tell your math teacher you had a good reason for playing computer games in his class.

the name of the heir is actually one of the most annoying thing to me

^ This, especially to see if the Iberian Wedding will fire xD

Another thing with names, I find it kinda dumb that England skips the common monarch names like "Henry/George" and stuff, but gets obscure names like Xavier, and Adolphus.

I wholeheartedly agree with all of that. The most annoying for me, though, is with the birthday of rulers : if you try to know if your heir is your "brother", "uncle" or "son", you are set for some problems. I mean by that if you are trying to do an AAR and the age of the previous rulers don't appear, you are at loss to try to establish their genealogy in a credible way.

if your heir is 15+, try hovering over "make heir general" button. If heir is female, tooltip will say "sorry, female generals weren't allowed in this timeframe".

I'm aware of this.

Edit: It is just annoying not to (among other things) know if your heir/heiress with 6 military power can be turned into a general

what i always found weird is that a 6 military king or heir can make a 0 0 0 0 general so to speak. I mean, if he has max military bonus per month, shouldn't he be a 3 star general?

My 3/3/6 heir makes a 4/4/2/0 general in 1461 at 35 army tradition...

good rng i guess. I bet a 000 heir can become a 2 5 2 0 general in 1444 with 0 army tradition...

also when you are blockading a sea zone with several enemy provinces, it would be nice to get a tooltip when you hover over the sea zone, saying, "you need a total of x blockades power to fully blockade the adjacent land provinces". Instead of having to add up the BT of all the provinces.

When multiply armies have been routed and are moving in a province with a non-route army you can't immediately tell which army is retreating and which is not, since it only shows that one army is fleeing, with the white flag shown.
