Historical:
The American Colonies (1640-1792):
This would focus on the colonial struggle between France and England in North America and the Caribbean. The Netherlands would also be important (at least in the beginning) as would Spain. Also, if one or the other power becomes dominant in terms of numerous, populous mainland colonies, then these colonies become prone to rebellion.
The Rise of Prussia (1740-63):
Intended, naturally, to be played as Prussia, this would cover the beginning of the War of Austrian Succession to the end of the Seven Years' War. Austria, France, Britain, Russia, Sweden, Bavaria, and Saxony are all also major powers in this scenario.
The Struggle for India (1664-1792):
This focuses on the competition to dominate trade in India and Southeast Asia between Portugal, the Netherlands, England, and France. All four nations start in very different positions, with France just having founded its East India company. In the 18th century the Mogul Empire falls apart and land wars develop between European powers and their Indian allies.
'What-if':
Corpus Evangelicorum I:
Gustavus Adolphus isn't killed at the battle of Lutzen and instead leads the Swedes to victory over the imperialist forces. He would then survive as leader of a Protestant alliance of Sweden and various German states against the Catholics allowing for a very different finish to the Thirty Years War (and possibly, an even more powerful Sweden to emerge from it).
Corpus Evangelicorum II:
Oliver Cromwell's proposal of a Protestant alliance with the Netherlands is accepted. Instead of England and the Netherlands developing trade disputes that result in several wars, they cooperate against the overseas possessions of the Catholic powers, while France and Spain are still warring on the Continent.
A Prussian Alliance:
Great Britain, instead of making a separate peace in 1763 with Spain and France (and, incidentally, giving up important colonial possessions it had taken), makes a joint peace later in the year with Prussia. Thus, Britain retains Prussia as an ally when the American colonies revolt. This could result in a continental war involving France, Spain, and Prussia (and the Netherlands if it still goes to war), while lessening French assistance to the rebels.

In game terms it is a bit more complexed. You see, the lists of regents in the game are fixed. The best way, under such circumstances, to portait the following Swedish mess is by unhistorically name one regent and a vassalage;
