we should be able to use the Caspian sea at the bare minimum to move troops/ supplies.

I understand the argument to be made against allowing ships in the Caspian as honestly it would just create ai issues, but with the new supply system it seems rather silly that the Caspian cant be used for anything.

Historically it was a vital route of supply. "During the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945, the Caspian Flotilla secured vital sea shipping of army units, military equipment and different cargo, especially during the Battle of Stalingrad and the battle for the Caucasus. (During the war, some of the Lend Lease were shipped to the USSR via the Persian Corridor and the Caspian Sea)."Caspian flotilla

If the AI put a battleship on that then people will complain!

Will they? All I'm seeing is: "AI does not build enough capital ships!"

IF the AI decides to build a BB or other Capital ship, then yes, they will. Even if they don't build them, they will deploy ships there because they will evaluate it as being shorthanded.

If a "river" could be drawn through the middle of the Caspian Sea connecting supply hubs (but not ports) bordering it, that might suffice.

Def should be allowed. Make a Suggestion thread.

We also really need the ability to choose Lend Lease routes still imo. Including splitting it up into multiple routes at the same time.

This is similar to the treatment of the Caspian in Crusader Kings and I think it's a great idea. It should be technically straightforward to implement and will not result in weird and awkward outcomes with respect to naval deployment.
