1. Continuous scrolling map. I like to play as Japan but the scrolling mechanic severely limits my enjoyment.

2. Late game balance. In my last game the US had over 200 BB. The UK had almost as many. Obviously this is horrendously inaccurate. Playing the Japanese, I could muster maybe 5 max.

3. After a war ends and the treaty screen comes up, please let me look at the map. I have ended up with provinces nowhere near my home territory and not on purpose. When it comes to the small islands I do not have those locations memorized.

4. Make it so I can skip a few months at a time.

5. Unlike others, I don't want carriers. This is not a WW2 game, its a dreadnought game. 

6. Some control over where the army is launching an offensive please.

7. Some ability to invade minor nations from sea. Playing as Japan, when Spain collapses and leaves the Philippines ungoverned, I have no way of claiming that territory.

1. I don't remember the reasoning, but I am pretty sure this is not going to change per the dev team.  Much to my own sadness as well.

3. Agreed.  The region needs to be listed along with the province in the treaty screen.  Personally, I have google maps open on another monitor, but it is unnecessarily tedious especially when the game minimizes when not focused by the OS (separate issue that needs addressing).

5.  Agreed.  If added as content or a DLC it should be a toggle much like how many players want with mines and subs.

6.  Having a war council with the army general about the goals in a war would be highly interesting to me.  Planning ahead of time that we, the USA in this example, wish to take French Guinea and Ivory Coast from France would make sure the army does not say "meh, I want glory!" and goes for <insert another country here> instead.   This way, your nation can have conditions that you set that can help you determine if the campaign was a success or not.  Maybe a bit much this late in development, but who knows!

6a.  I also pitched an idea for amphibious force that you can recruit for to use in naval invasions accompanied with tech tree stuff.  Unfortunately, I do not have much hope for this.

7.  Agreed, the player needs some way to pitch an idea to invade a neutral nation to the government instead of having to be at peace with all major powers and random luck to strike.

3: Someone gave me a great tip here - just write down the names of the regions you want on a wishlist, I just wrote it on an old electrical bill (I did pay it first).
Although I did end up getting 15 territories out of one single peace treaty once, which was far more than I had written down...

6: Yeah, some times they just start attacking against bad odds, which sapps army logistics (at least it seems that way) and ruin the progress you're making where you want to make progress... Other times they sit idly by next to an enemy territory, despite outnumbering the enemy forces 10-1

6a: There are some techs that improve the effectiveness of shore bombardments though, which help with naval invasions at least.

7: Yes, at least minor nations that are allied with enemy major nations - technically they're also enemies.

My main request would be to add some sort of Mod support in general as its not consensus for many of the topics among the community.

Eg. Mines, Subs, Aircraft Carriers, Creating custom nations, Tech tree unlocks
