Great thread. But to facilitate keeping up to date with new info, would you mind marking new bits of information? Either via new posts in the thread, or highlighting them in the opening post.
I wonder if all the screenshots can be placed here to view, examine and what not?
On the supposed trade routes, is it not possible that they could be lines of logistics instead?
Also, the Timurids have a name on the world map. This means that the start date is earlier than the 1445, (don't know the exact date) or so I think anyway.
Nice. Though I think it would help if you made it clearer what is "a literal quote" and what is interpretation.

Some extra regarding the armies:
On the screenshots on Rockpaperguns, you can see that they use the Sendoku/CKII-army system, where they have colours to identify between allies, neutral and enemy (something which I miss in DW having been used to CKII
I don't know if it's worth mentioning, but at least it's an improvement on EU3-DW, where they use the experience from CKII.
They'll probably use that, but in general I'm guessing that we shouldn't take stuff we see in these early alpha screenshots as something that'll nessecarily be in the game. Written statements from the devs are probably more reliable, right?
Highly doubtful that they'd show something that isn't going to be in the game, at least in my opinion.
