First of all, I gotta say that I really enjoy the map - the new religions, country stability mechanics, and most importantly - no Ottomans. Perhaps the most interesting thing is the new trade goods - the changing of crappy resources or upgrading them is great. However - why do manufacturies not work for the new goods. I noticed that they don't contribute to goods produced. Correct me if I'm wrong but that somewhat negates their superiority over the standard abundant goods.
