HI, so here's an update
Ok, this view shows quite a bit.
1. I've taken quite a few Colonial provinces. Still hasn't triggered any notable quests.
2. A quest (as seen above) was triggered by the LMA province with the (new style) Scout on. Once the province of Eldenborough is controlled, the above quest, mentioning that very province will be placed in the side quest cue for you to discover as soon as you finish your current side quests. (Note, this needs to be corrected on the Wikia page:
-----------------------START WIKIA---------------------
You hold access to a harbor in Eldenborough that opens into a yet unknown sea. Maybe you should send out an expedition to find out more about what lies in the east.
Request:
• Build a cartographer and delete 3 units.
Reward:
• S 10 silk
Abortable: Yes

-----------------------END WIKIA-------------------------
So since it asks for a cartographer and I'm still HMA, I skiped it.
3. The province of Queenshope is accessible for the scout from the Colonial age province. So I decided to scout it since it is considered a Bonus Province. It was not expected to become available to me like that. The sectors feature mixture of LMA units and Colonial age Field Guns. The order of the units on the field appears to be unusual since the field guns get to fire before Trebuchets can fire. It's a combination which isn't so impassible. But rather stubborn to take on. A single shot from a Field Gun has the ability to take out a Trebuchet.
4. Ludwigs assassins (as you can see) are still cheesing at my wells and this disgusts my citizens very much. Please send Advanced Colonial or LMA units into my control to chase them away.
Sorry it's been so long since I had a chance to look into this. Thanks for your interest!
