1.30 patch somehow achieved excellence in both making Europe beautiful and disgusting at the same time. While rework of Iberia, Italy, France and so on managed, better or worse, to hold itself together, taking a look at Greece and rest of Balkans is suicide for your eyes. Seriously, you either have to go along starting borders or take half of region to make it look half-decent. To have a decent look, you take whole of it. Lusatia is another example, whichever province from a total of three you won't take, it would stick out like a sore thumb. Also, they reworked Stolp and it's still a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ triangle, but this time Poland's border with it is so broken, that even rustling emperor's ego with taking it just for sake of satisfying look on map won't save you from the beauty of Kolberg and this abomination that happens to emerge in place of Neumark. Now Poland by no means other than pushing germans to the other side of the Oder can have a border with them that doesn't compete with geometry of Habsburgs' chins.
For a big plus, now you start with two Frances instead of one.


After 2 more dlcs and 600 more hours in this game, my point still stands - new update bad.
