I'm completely new to programming, so would you be able to recommend an easier program with similar abilities?

What do you mean by similar abilities? I am a bit confused.

If you prefer Java to C++, you should take a look at Swing. I used this for my "main" project, while it's not really straightforward to program against, you can easily see results of what you do. I've used it successfully later, although a command-line UI is a lot easier to program if you just want simple user input like I did with the validation tool. Go ahead and JAD it if you want to see how, but be warned that the code isn't necessarily clean.

I have a question about the unit cards. Any idea when/if those will be available for RV for EB 1.1?

Also have you thought of just using the EB data files as a source for doing the unit cards programmatically? This would eliminate the need to redo the cards for each release.

I am working on them, but due to RL issues, this has not made it into the release. I plan to release the 1.1 units on their own.

I don't think there is an easy way to do this automatically, but hopefully there won't be many updates in the future.

RE the programming question, I think that BASIC is a good place to start (any version, really).

Could the next version of RV include ship recruitment?
I'm playing Aedui, wanting to invade the Casse but can't seem to build ships anywhere I own other than Tolosa.
My reading of the Build Trees indicates I need provinces with the Small Fleet or Large Fleet hidden resource but there doesn't seem to be a map of where those are

There is an old map for EB 0.72, actually. You can find it here.
