Good but improvements are mandatory to make it user-friendly, less laborious and actually playable
So, according to the title: 1) give the user the ability to group his provinces into larger administrative regions (preferably as he chooses) in order to simplify and make less laborious their administration and development (it’s a game dude! Don’t make it so tiring! When you end up conquering many foreign provinces the game practically becomes unplayable!!! It’s a good thing that the game is so elaborative, just organize it better to make it actually playable!). So e.g. you would select a region made of more than one province (double tap if you wish to choose a specific province within the region! Or maybe even different map mode) and order to build a factory or farm or a dock in the region and the AI decides in which specific province within the region to build it (if you want to build it in a specific province, just go to the specific province first). The same goes for assimilating population in a region (of more than one provinces). When it comes to creating an army in a region, it would be created from all the provinces in the region respectively and you choose in which specific province you want to place it. But of course when it comes to attack an enemy you would be able to attack only provinces, not a whole region at once! 2) find a way to make diplomacy more manageable (and again less tiring/ less laborious)!!! The ever changing diplomatic relationships of your country in the game, especially when you can’t fix them (e.g. you try to improve relations with another country but suddenly out of nowhere they send you an insult and you can’t do something about it for quite a while! Dude!!) is a nightmare!!! When playing I feel like almost in every single turn I have to go to diplomacy map and check every other country and make sure they’re not starting to turn against me, and even when they do I can’t always do something about it! It’s good you made the game as realistic as possible and I don’t have anything more specific to suggest about how to improve diplomacy as I did with economy, but seriously, it makes the game tiring enough that it makes me think twice (and more than just twice!) whenever I’m thinking of playing it!!! You need to make it more user-friendly! I have no idea if all this are easy to change or not, I just like your game and want to enjoy it (even more since I paid something for it!), but the above problems won’t let me!!! Thanks!
