On a different note:

VH strategy difficulty is definitely different (from 1.02) now... Playing as Britain I am desperately trying to scrap some cash, while the AI seems to have almost unlimited resources. It would appear, the AI does not value trade at all at least on VH. Most of my trade partners are almost constantly blockaded and they do not seem to be eager to do anything about those blockades. Bottom line: trade is very, very unreliable as a source of income post 1.03 at least on VH campaign setting.
I'm playing GB on H/M and trade is my main source of income. It certainly isn't as bad as your version Slaists, but it's clearly more of an issue than 1.02
