Graphics driver issues - Update your nvidia and it's gone.
as you said: balance. From reading the changelog this was not focused on balance. Understandable. I expect some small adjustments and bigger balance stuff along with the next patch or later in the first addon
They state in the changelog that borderwithdrawal when in your own territory has been nerfed. We'll see how it works.
Yeah, that BUGS me to! I use Pins extensively to keep getting track! Annoying. Same for the last build-bug in City screen - That needs to be adressed asap - I fear it might be a deeper problem here with calculating stuff between turns making it hard to come by...
Generally speaking I'm pleased! Quite early for a patch this big!

Lots of good changes here definitely moving everything in the right direction adressing some major UI-complaints. Still a lot to do but you can't do all at once, I understand....

Next thing might be SDK-release with some minor bugsmashes and the one or the other balance-nerf... I think before christmas together with the first DLC running in and get the christmas money...
