I'm half way to assembling a custom playlist; I have removed the tracks I don't like and am replacing them with ones I do. I did the same thing with CK and EU2, much easier to let the game handle the edited playlist than having to fiddle around setting up a decent playlist in media player every time I want to play.

I shall start my next game soonish, this one with the aim of doing more than looking at the interface and seeing how the game runs. I can't decide between Belgium and Brazil, they are both recommended as good newbie countries; I suppose I shall flip a coin.
