With the new trade routes I hope the gap in central Africa between Kanem Bornu and Funj is filled with provinces rather than leaving it all as wasteland as that was an important trade route.

How about some tool tip streamlining. E.g., instead of seeing a list of every province with a dock, which for big countries makes most of the factors of your FL unaccessible, just have "docks = 21", or something like that?

Another TT change I wish we had would show the full components of tariffs, both production and tax.

Finally, some indication, when not in battle, of what the morale status of individual units is.

I didn't see it mentioned here, and maybe there's a way to do this in EU3 that I don't know about, but a tool to show exactly where units are incurring attrition would be great.

a more friendly gui, because i disliked eu3 because of that and never got into the game. Small misclick and a gui on half of my screen popups unenabling me from army deployment.

If you watch some of the videos, Johan specifically mentions the GUI as a primary focus on EU4. Because he - like the rest of PDS - admits that this was the biggest issue of EU3. And this is also why they stopped piling on expansions to EU3, because they wanted to go back and fix this fundamental issue; the GUI.

So I suspect you are going to get a more friendly GUI.

I didn't see it mentioned here, and maybe there's a way to do this in EU3 that I don't know about, but a tool to show exactly where units are incurring attrition would be great.

You are right; there is. Open the overview box in the upper right corner. Any army incurring attrition will be shown in red.

I would really like to see a more dynamic weather system - freezing winters, muddy roads, flooding rivers, storms at sea, burning deserts, monsoons in the Indian Ocean. As much of it should be visible in the political mapmode as possible.

It looks like they've already implemented the first of these though, we'll see whether any of the rest get in. :)

One thing I would like to see is wars that don't have to end like WWII. You should be able to get a modest but significant peace without taking the enemy capital.

CKII more or less fixed this with the gradual increase of warscore when controlling the contested territory, I hope some form of this makes its way into EUIV.

The forested region might be explained by the fact that much of the forest wasn't used for anything, it was just there, and the heart of the business and industry in those provinces was fishing, regardless of the size of the inland forest. I don't see those as examples of problems, maybe grain for mountains, but that could probably have an explanation as well.
