Known bugs/inconsistencies
- when hints mode is enabled the h shortcut is overrided by the ?-cursor which makes certain icons in the provinces view clickable.
- if accidently F1 is pressed before F2, and the user does not wait a slight delay, 1-7 triggers the player shield tabs.
(- Fast splitting (numerous 'b' and select unit spamming) leads to a CTD runtime error while the game is UNpaused.)
- Peace offer: z works to decline, c does not accept
- Alliance offer: z works to decline, c does not accept
- Back buttons bound to z don't work.
- While selecting an army or fleet and the detach mercs action or detach old ships action respectively is not available the HRE screen pops up.

Fixed bugs/inconsistencies
- opening province windows from siege windows, and then back into siege windows is slightly bugged, province window should close, but stays open. [Fixed with the release of Patch 1.7]
- Alternating between the Siege and Province window fastly for a couple of times and then hitting the Army key bugs the interface in a hybrid between the Army and Siege window. [Fixed with the release of Patch 1.7]
- You can't switch to Siege windows of provinces you don't have control over. [Fixed with the release of Patch 1.7]
- Using the 'b' key for splitting seems not to work since patch 1.9. [Fixed in version 1.2 of the mod]
