I think espionage should get its own DLC. There is so much, that could be done with this system...
The Ledger is too powerful and weakens the whole point of Espionage

Most of the stuff in the ledger is fine, but knowing current army/fleet size/composition and manpower reserves always feels a bit odd. I would also be ok with undiscovered nations not being listed.
Why shouldn't the information be out there? States had diplomats and ambassadors stationed in other states who could easily gather information regarding how big the states forces were and how much manpower there was available. Granted, the numbers should probably be more like estimations rather than exact numbers (and it's probably unrealistic to think that Prussia would have ambassadors in Najd or whatever), but I still prefer the system as it is.
Undiscovered nations aren't listed, at least in the military section.
That makes sense. I must have missed it because I only look up information on nations I interact with. Undiscovered nations still pop up in current wars list, strategic goods and score.
I would like to see them put in more espionage mechanics at some point. You shouldn't have to take the idea group to do it either. The idea group should just make it stronger.
