You don't. I don't even understand how you can imagine such a hope to be anything other than a source of disappointment.

If historicity produces bad gameplay, screw historicity.

Fun gameplay is the goal, historicity is just one facet of that. Purely historical content would be just as boring as a completely balanced gameplay loop. It's combining the two in a fun way. Ahistoricicity is fine if it improves gameplay, in my opinion.


What i mean by historically is not necessary what exactly happend during the timeline after 1444 but what could happen in the context of that time, what could realistically have happend but did not do so.. thats also actually historical. And i dont get the point about the difficulty, there are lots of nations in this game and the level of power of them should try to mirror history, they should not be draged together to almost the same level of power just because of "gameplay reasons". Because there are so many nations you could just pick another one if one is to hard for you. Nations like Albania should not be getting buffed as they were f-ed IRL at that time.

As an example of what i mean: not caring for the history of the date of 14th November 1444 and Spliting the Livionian order into Estonia and the livionian order just to "balance it" is no-way near accaptable imo
