Meanwhile Scandinavia is complete mess, Lithuania is nowhere near historical and running wild and Commonwealth never formed, Bohemia is on rampage, oh, and is that surviving Byzantium?

Aztecs and Inca should be dead, not dominating by then. Though slow colonization elsewhere is nice. Is that New Portugal in North America, btw?

also, in the 1820 screenshot there is a unified HRE, revolutionary Kiev which looks like Ukraine, Brittany in Normandy, monster Bohemia, Golden Horde and some weird green province in Spain (Portugal?)...so just a normal eu4 playthrough really

Look at the 1650 map. Netherland and Persia formed and are strong, Manchu formed, Ottomans got Egypt, Lithuania-Poland roughly historical size, Brandenburg exists, France/Spain/Portugal/GB historical sizes, Cusco and Aztec dominating their areas. There are a few ahistorical things like the Timurids did not form Mughals (an extremely lucky situation in history btw) and a weak Sweden, Austria not PUing Bohemia and Hungary, but overall it's pretty good

Yeah it is pretty good on second thought! :) like the revolutions but I am not sure if colonies tend to break now as I am not finished with my first AoW game. but, as most people could probably claim lol, I think I've had better!

1. Persia forming from HRE is not historical.
2. Russia conquering Kazakh isn't historical, nor that distance into Ming.
3. United HRE is somewhat preposterous compared to history.
4. Golden Horde was one of the first hordes to die historically from the starting bookmark, interesting that they lived here.
5. Powerful Hindustan isn't quite right either ;).

Of course, from a plausibility standpoint, only the HRE and Russian presence in the East raise questions.

Yes, but they aren't any WORSE from his changes - really, he just has a normal EU IV playthorough, with all the wierd-ness that can happen, except that Manchu/Qing and the reformation played out a little better, as that's all he changed.

I'd like to see multiple games, to get a sense of what really changed from vanilla Art of War. Of course, getting a mod so we can install and try it would help greatly!

If that's your idea of a historical result then EUIV has really lowered yours (and everyone's) standards. :p in 1626 The Netherlands exist as they usually do due to the event that spawn them, but have they fulfilled anything like their historical role in creating a trade empire? Even in 1821 I see almost no European presence in Asia. Meanwhile Lithuania's nothing like its historical size, having somehow annexed half the Steppes. Russia, in turn, skipped Astrakhan and Orenburg as they often do, and ignored the ever-present desire of the Tsars to unite all the Russias. France, Spain, and GB not being anything like their historical sizes, Spain having hardly any colonial empire in the Americas at all - which is what should be taking up that space instead of the Aztecs and Incas if the results were historical. England already annexed Scotland (presumably by force), and France, though the closest to reality, seemingly decided to leave Brittany+Normandy un-touched for centuries. Ottomans control hardly half of Egypt, and haven't even taken Belgrade from Serbia.

Still better than EUIII. :p
