Thursday at 18:00cest - The Art of War - Feature presentation, Patch Notes and Q&A

The only provinces that are "rightfully yours" are the ones you have core on, and you already do get a 25%AE CB to reclaim those.

"Claims", on the other hand, are barely-credible bovine excrement.

Well it kinda depends. Sometimes you get that random event that gives you a claim on a province. Usually the text is something about marriages, someone in your court has a rightful claim, etc....

Sub-Saharan tech penalty will be changed according to this video.
Will other tech groups get tech penalty change?

I've said this before but please make those statues smaller, or at least make it so that they only show up in religion map mode..

Yea, at a minimum have them only show in the religion map mode.

i was really looking forward to seeing it.

at that moment i knew how my dog felt looking at a piece of bacon and not getting it.

 

[aragonFTW]

that was cool....

 

[Nyrael]

center of reformation for reformed

Nope, I don't think that's it: the heart icon has in its lower left corner a Protestant or Reformed cross and that cross represents which center is whose.

It's where the religion is spreading to.

EDIT: I doubt they'll move the church and statue models to the religious map mode as they already have the heart icons there.

The humor in that preview is so dry and snarky it's magical...

Anyways...

I... MUST... get this... at all costs... more than any other dlc or expansion or anything... I MUST...

Before the Russians got involved in this region, very late in the EU4 - era, Bessarabia was the traditional name of the southern plains region and only later did it become the name of the eastern region represented by Bender on the screenshot above

Wikipedia has a pretty good map of how the meaning of the names drifted: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Partitions_of_Moldavia.jpg

The names there are half-English and half-Romanian and mixed up on the maps... Moldova(Ro) - Moldavia(En) and note that this name, Moldavia, for the map's Western region is wrong in English, because "Moldavia" refers only to the historic medieval country, while Moldova(region of Romania) and Rep. Moldova are the correct names to use in English(I had no idea why it's so, because Romanians and Moldovans use only "Moldova" for all those things, but it's so). Basarabia(Ro) - Bessarabia(En), Buceag(Ro) - Budjak(En)(historically this province was called Basarabia, like you said), Bucovina(Ro) - Bukovina(En) *note that this name is made-up by the Austrians, who took the northern part of Moldavia, not even Ukrainians use it for that part of Moldavia(only the Habsburgs and current-day dumb Romanians *I have no idea why some of my countrymen are so eager-beaver on adopting foreign names for their regions, it would be like people from Rep. Moldova would call themselves "Bessarabians" instead of Moldovans, just because the Russians nicknamed the whole region Bessarabia, and not just the south, when they took it over).

Isn't it kind of odd to use the Luther rose as the symbol for centres for reformation also for the Reformed movement?

Since you guys are changing the whole terrain thing,

You should make most of the Netherlands marsh instead of plains as a way to represent the very successful Dutch use of polders and flood control as military defense.
(Or ideally, new terrain type called polders.)

So I was watching the The Art of War - Gameplay Features, Part 5 video,
they were showing the new terrain map mode and I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed they already changed the terrain in most of NL to marsh.

So it looks like my little wish was already granted (although a new terrain type that increases defensiveness would be even better)
