Age of Reformation ends too soon

[Mrakvampire]

Hello All!


As we all know in RL 30-years war ended in 1648. But Eu4 in current state forces any similar conflict in europe in 1560-1600 as Age of Reformation just ends in ~1610.

I, as a big fan of at least trying to keep things semi-historical, is really upset with this mechanic. Why is this implemented this way? Maybe Age of Reformation should start a little bit later (tweak reform desire mechanic, so protestantism event never happens before 1515; and it make it so it ends either around ~1620 if no religious wars started or as soon as religious war ends?

It lasts roughly 80 years in my games which is similar to the other ages. The 30 years war was a HRE based religious war. There is a separate mechanic in the game for this which starts in 1550 and does not end with the age of the reformation and continues up until a forced ending in 1635. Maybe that is a bit too soon but the current age has nothing to do with the HRE religious war mechanic.
