For long time I’ve suffered a CK2 burnout, but you guys really did the best to rekindle my love! I especially enjoy the featured ruler feature. Once it gets achievement-compatible I’ll be blissed

Thing is, ingame Wallachia covers both real life Wallachia AND Moldavia, meaning that you can form Wallachia by owning all of real life Moldavia and maybe one province of real life Wallachia, which makes little to no sense.
Still does not justify the lack of provinces in Iberia, compared to Western Europe.
If we are trying to make the reconquista accurate and according to historical progress then more provinces are a must, since historically the reconquista was 700 years of very slow, indecisive and gradual territorial gains, going back and forth, the only time when there were fast and decisive territorial gains was in 1220-1260 when the Catholics took around 1/3 of Iberia, leaving Islam barely surviving in Granada.
Right now, the reconquista is decided in 2-3 decisive wars of huge gains, 50 years are enough for any Catholic to finish its reconquista, or for Islam to dominate Iberia. It should be a very slow and gradual process with small gains in every war. This can only be achieved by smaller duchies, and more counties with fewer holdings.
Reconquista aside, the wars between Iberians themselves also always resulted in very tiny territorial changes, like border towns of the likes of Tuy, Badajoz, Alicante, Biscay, Albarracin, Algeciras, Tarifa, Gibraltar, Xiquena, Huelma, Atenquera, Ciudad Rodrigo, Olivenza etc... Right now, the huge provinces always result in any war causing complete bordergore.

If you added enough province for a realistic Reconquista, Spain as a whole would be infinitely more powerful than all other places. The map in general just doesn't have the scale for it. I:R can get away with a hugely detailed map because it doesn't have the same kind of characters. In CK2 however each county and to a lesser degree each barony comes with its own court that needs to be processed.
You can keep the balance by working around holdings per province. Besides nobody is asking for I:R level of province numbers or provinces with the size of Gibraltar and Olivenza. I only ask for reasonable numbers, I would be perfectly happy with Iberia having a 20 density (currently they have around 12, while England and France have almost 30, Italy has over 40 and the Flanders 45)
Right now, before this patch is released, Wales has the same number of provinces as Portugal (which in itself is even slightly denser than Spain).
I don't think i need to explain why this makes little sense on a balance, historical, or gamplay reasons. I think its perfectly reasonable to ask for a few more provinces without it changing the balance.

Can reformed pagans build library or university great works now?
Saw in a previous thread someone asked if this would be allowed and a Dev replied to file it as a bug report. Did it change in the last patch and I didn't notice?
As far as I know, reformed pagans can use already built universities and libraries but the only pagans who can build them are Hellenic. Is this WAD?

Neither provinces nor number of holdings was originally intended to refect population, as far a si recall.
Provinces for overall military strength and holdings for wealth of said province.
Population played no part.
The later included population mechanics for tribes and nomads don't really change that.
On the other hand Ck2 lost any clear overall design idea many years ago, so i don't really care.
Just sharing my memories and opinion.
"Overall military strenght" is immeasurable, purely subjective and means nothing.
Besides, military strenght is more than just numbers.
Not sure what you are trying to say here, but i can't pretend to care.
Since i wasn't able to find anything with a quick search have the devs given us the cultural and religious map mode of the new start date?
I am curious if cultures like the Saka, Sogdian etc that are available at the two earlier starts will be available for the new bookmark. More or less the same issue with religion.

I do not know if there was ever a cultural or religion set up shown.
So hyped for the new start date and the map reworks, thank you for making the Iberian rivers and the Nile navigable!!
All that's missing is the Suez canal

I haven't seen any such map, but they releasing the bookmark tomorrow so we'll all be able to check for ourselves soon.
can Nomads get a button to call all allies to war, just like we have for all vassals? It gets tedious to click through my 20+ tributaries every time i go to war :/
Seems we don't have the map modes in question.
@Snow Crystal
If it is not too much of a hassle could we have the cultural and religious map modes for the new bookmark (and posibly also the political map)??? Pretty please!!!
Just to plan our new campaigns.

I think if you press the shift button you call in all allies, even tributaries. At least that how it works with feudals and tribals.
