It looks good and smooth so far, with lots of interesting changes.

And we get to nitpick about the gulls obviously being of the wrong species for the region ;)
 
I'm so looking forward to try out the new trade system :) Finally it'll actually be fun in an EU game!

Just be glad they didn't mix up European and African swallows!
 
OH. MY. GUARD. This is above and beyond all my fantasies and expectations. Very, very well done! Johan, I'm sure the dev team will hate to hear this, but you are brilliant!!

And, time to store away nice endgame saves from CK2!!!

That's pretty much the hallmark of a paradox gamer :p

Is just me who hears some noise in the background when Johan speaks?
 
My wildest dreams became true. And this one is even better than that with Natalie Portman.
 
This looks splendid. I think managing trade in a large empire could rapidly become tedious, though, like in Rome? And theres no automation anymore. Thoughts?
 
You already mentioned seasons included, and I must say graphically it already looks quite beautiful. My question is, is it purely graphical? I hardly think so, as I don't think you'd go to great lengths just for some nice eye candy?

So I guess we can expect Baltic Sea trade getting high negative modifiers for the sea being basically frozen over. And armies suffer far more attrition when wandering through provinces in deep winter? Maybe even seasonal production efficiency on some trade goods like wine or grains?

I'm sure there'll be a DD dedicated to seasons, but it can't hurt to ask now, can it?
 
All is great, i love also the aestethic of the map with trades especially... but only one thing! please make Istria province with the proper borders of Istria :laugh:

Yes, i think also about area like Baltic sea.
 
In a totally original comment I'll say this: The trade system looks totally awesome.

Also a tiny part of me suspect that the whole frozen ocean feature is implemented solely to allow Sweden to beat the crap out of Denmark (like they did historically because of frozen oceans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Copenhagen ). I can't think of any other war, where frozen oceans have played a major role. The feature is still awesome though.
 
So conquering coastals of Africa is finally going to be more rewarding then just a repairport and core to reach the indies. I can see some proper wars for the cape coming up :)
 
The trade system is a nice new addition but you still have to work much on the map. Like the Hungarian Pecs province migrates northwards and it is even more ugly than the Istria province since the town of Pécs is at the southern border of the Somogy province and therefore should rather be the capital of the Somogy region than to be the name of a north Hungarian region. I also suggest thus renaming Pecs region to Buda (the capital) or Pest-Pilis (the name of the county).
