Probably only Gandalf and perhaps Boron (IIRC) would play with 1500 provinces

JK reports that scrolling is a bit slow with 1500 provinces, but otherwise it seems to work fine.

Yeah Boron will be insane enough to try such a game probably .
More important than the province limit is though the unit limit, may i ask how large it is in Dominions 3?
Imho the unit limit was the biggest flaw of both former Dominions. If you tell me that Dominions 3 has a unit limit of 1 million units or even higher i am happy and will buy Dominions 3 immediately when it gets released .

nice that you can see what gems the commander is carrying just by looking at the front of the unit... hopefully this includes magic items - no more endless searching for that missing hammer, I'm guessing

This looks like a very important improvement to me - just yesterday I've found the hammer lost couple of years ago

Unit limit on main map or unit limit on battlefield?

He's talking about the unit limit in the game, period. On huge maps like Faerun, especially with themes with auto-spawns, a limit is exceeded around mid-game - all of a sudden, scouting starts to work very erratically, you can't even always see the troops in a province neighboring your own.

At some point I understand the game can also crash, but haven't seen that - the invisible troop side effect has been bad enough for me to avoid large maps since knowing of it. ( As if the micro-management and 3 hour turns weren't bad enough )

That's fixed.
