As you've probably seen in Strange screenshots, England tends to revolt against the UK and form in it's southern provinces, adopting islam as a state religion.

Osternprussen in the game. But what is lol IT IS PART OF polish(wielkopolska region) region in the game...

Contrary to popular belief, England colonized Mexico, Portugal colonized the Caribbean, and Spain settled in Canada.

The pope lived in Oldenburg, and the HRE was Bremen.

Contrary to popular belief, the firearm tactics pioneered by Maurice of Orange and Gustavus II Adolphus were not as effective as the conservative Tercios employed by the Catholic powers.

Adolphus infantry is better than reformed tercio, as reformed tercio is crap.

Contrary to popular beliefs, best armies were those who fighted hand to hand like free shooters, charge infantry and highlanders infantry.

EDIT: Some calculations i made. If you see any mistakes tell me, but i think there isn't.

Fire Damage dealt by Gustavian Infantry to Highlander infantry

0 + 5 - 4 => 1 * 6 = 6
1 + 5 - 4 => (2 - 1) = 6
2 + 5 - 4 => (3 - 1) = 12
3 + 5 - 4 => (4 - 1) = 18
4 + 5 - 4 => (5 - 1) = 24
5 + 5 - 4 => (6 - 1) = 30
6 + 5 - 4 => (7 - 1) = 36
7 + 5 - 4 => (8 - 1) = 42
8 + 5 - 4 => (9 - 1) = 48
9 + 5 - 4 => (10 - 1) = 54

Ratio = 26,4

Fire Damage Dealy by Highlander Infantry to Gustavian infantry

0 + 3 - 4 => 2^-1 * 6 = 6
1 + 3 - 4 => 1 * 6 = 6
2 + 3 - 4 => (2 - 1) * 6 = 6
3 + 3 - 4 => (3 - 1) * 6 = 12
4 + 3 - 4 => (4 - 1) * 6 = 18
5 + 3 - 4 => (5 - 1) * 6 = 24
6 + 3 - 4 => (6 - 1) * 6 = 30
7 + 3 - 4 => (7 - 1) * 6 = 36
8 + 3 - 4 => (8 - 1) * 6 = 42
9 + 3 - 4 => (9 - 1) * 6 = 48

Ratio = 22,8

Shock damage dealt by Gustavian Infantry to Highlander infantry

0 + 4 - 3 => 1 * 6 = 6
1 + 4 - 3 => (2 - 1) * 6 = 6
2 + 4 - 3 => (3 - 1) * 6 = 12
3 + 4 - 3 => (4 - 1) * 6 = 18
4 + 4 - 3 => (5 - 1) * 6 = 24
5 + 4 - 3 => (6 - 1) * 6 = 30
6 + 4 - 3 => (7 - 1) * 6 = 36
7 + 4 - 3 => (8 - 1) * 6 = 42
8 + 4 - 3 => (9 - 1) * 6 = 48
9 + 4 - 3 => (10 - 1) * 6 = 54

Ratio = 26,4

Shock damage dealt by Highlander Infantry to Gustavian Infantry

0 + 6 - 3 => (3 - 1) * 6 = 12
1 + 6 - 3 => (4 - 1) * 6 = 18
2 + 6 - 3 => (5 - 1) * 6 = 24
3 + 6 - 3 => (6 - 1) * 6 = 30
4 + 6 - 3 => (7 - 1) * 6 = 36
5 + 6 - 3 => (8 - 1) * 6 = 42
6 + 6 - 3 => (9 - 1) * 6 = 48
7 + 6 - 3 => (10 - 1) * 6 = 54
8 + 6 - 3 => (11 - 1) * 6 = 60
9 + 6 - 3 => (12 - 1) * 6 = 66

Ratio = 39

Count that we got 3 phases of fire before shock so max casualities :

Highlanders max casualities = 162
Gustavian max casualities = 144

This is like ~15% less damage max.

Minimum causalities for both = 18 (like ~2 % less damage)

Ratio damage :

Highlanders ratio damage for 3 phases = 79,2 (~8% less damage but it is only ratio)
Gustavian ratio damage for 3 phases = 68,4 (~7% less damage but it is only ratio)

So in the shock damage ratio is from :

Damage to gustavian = ~98,28 to ~114,66
Damage to Highlanders = ~67,08 to ~77,616

Max damage is :

Damage to gustavian = ~166,32 to ~194,04
Damage to highlanders = ~139,32 to ~158,76

Min damage is :

Damage to gustavian = ~30,24 to ~35,28
Damage to highlanders = ~15,48 to ~17,64

And now i am confused XD

But best to talk about ratio. If we add it up together :

Damage ratio (dealt in 6 days to gustavian) = 166,68 to 183,06
Damage ratio (dealt in 6 days to highlanders) = 146,28 to 156,816

As we see, gustavian clearly acquires more damage if we count up ratio so i say, why not take highlanders?

Not sure I understand, but good work nonetheless.

A little known fact, even to the most accomplished historian, is that the most prevalent HRE was not Hasburg dynasty, but the ruling line of Ethiopia.

The reformation began in central Italy.

The Byzantine empire did not end in 1453(?), but defeated the OE and went on to return to it's borders to ones that mirrored the ones of the Roman empire of it's height, in pursuit of something called an "achievement" that gave "paradox points". Needless to say, their ruler was deemed mad as soon as he died.
