After some break I came back to ETW to check out 1.3. I must say, I have been pleasantly surprised quite a few times already. Good job, CA!
1. While I am playing as French (VH), the Dutch declare war on my allies, Spain. I move my token army from French Guiana towards the Dutch posessions there. A couple battles (as usual) and I'm besieging Dutch Guiana waiting for them to do the last sally. Bam! A whole army of native archers showed up (sea transported AI reinforcements from Curacao) and attacked my besieging army. This never happened before!...
2. While I am playing as British, just having taken French Guiana, the Dutch (my allies) offer some goodies for this piece of real estate. I refuse. The same turn, the Dutch declare war on me; march an army into French Guiana and take it. Oh well... they really wanted it. Here's the onion. I reloaded the save, and came up with a counter-proposal to the one made by the Dutch: Trinidad + Tobago + some goodies for Ceilon. the Dutch agree... no attack... we keep alliance, everyone's happy. This kind of consistency was never present before 1.3.
3. While I am playing as British, Maratha, my trade partners have taken the whole of India. As you may have noticed above, I own Ceilon now (trade swap with the Dutch). Maratha offer me some goodies for Ceilon. I refuse. The next turn, a whole stack of Marathas show up near Ceilon (sea attack) and they take the darned province...
I like it.
