is closed I´ll reply here:
Any idea why Straubing is owned by Luxembourg at the start? The Wittelsbach line of Straubing is the one that ruled Hainaut and Holland, not Luxembourg. Additionally, are there any sources about Straubing being momentarily granted to Austria?
Yes, you are right it was Bavaria-Straubing which ruled Hainault, Holland, Zeeland and Straubing:

However in 1419 Bavaria-Straubing was in a civil war and practically did not exist. Part of it was occupied by Brabant (as the husband of the heiresss of the last Duke of Bavaria-Straubing Jaqueline of Hainault) and Jan the Pitiless
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_III,_Duke_of_Bavaria-Straubing
As Jan III/John III was the husband of Elisabeth of Görlitz (who rules Luxemburg) that war was simulated by a Brabant-Luxemburg war in 1419 in AGCEEP and LUX having the cores that Jan III (as ruler of Bavaria-Straubing) tried to conquer and Bavaria-Straubing was left out of the game as a seperate state by AGCEEP in EU2 among other reasons for the lack of tags.
In AGCEEP LUX did have a core on Artois because on the vanilla map there was no Hainault so Artois had to double as Hainault for LUX.
As in the PV map Hainault does exist I suggest to change the starting cores of Lux:
Code:
ownedprovinces = {
377 928 [color=yellow]#Luxemburg and Straubing[/color]
}
controlledprovinces = {
377 339 [color=yellow]#Holland[/color]
928
}
nationalprovinces = {
377 339 [color=red]379[/color] 928
}
[color=yellow]claimedprovinces = {
340 #Zeeland
1924 #Hainault
}[/color]
Edit: About sources of Austria and Straubing: The german WIKI has a bit more info than the english one

Basically Straubing was a mess. After the death of John III. of Bavaria-Straubing the male line of Bavaria-Straubing was extinct and the fief fell back to the Emperor to decide what to do.
In 1426 the other Bavarian Dukes met to discuss what to do with Straubing. Ludwig the bearded (of Bayern-Ingolstadt the smallest of the bavarian Duchys)
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Bayern_nach_der_Teilung_1392.png
wanted Straubing completely for himself with the reason that he was the eldest bavarian Duke.
Heinrich the rich (of Bayern-Landshut) suggested to divide Straubing by 3 and give Bayern-München, Bayern-Landshut and Bayern-Ingolstadt 1/3rd each.
Bayern-München was ruled jointly by two dukes (Ernst and Wilhelm) so they suggested to divide Straubing by heads so that Bayern-München would get 2/4th and Landshut and Ingolstadt 1/4 each.
As they could not agree Sigismund of Luxemburg in March 1426 as a first step named the possible heirs as Heinrich, Ernst, Wilhelm *and suddenly Albrecht of Habsburg* (because Albrechts mother was a daughter of a former duke of Bavaria-Straubing). Ludwig was excluded in that list because he was excommunicated for quarreling with the others who united in the league of Constance
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstanzer_Liga
against Ludwig. The leage tried to mediate and suggest a partition into 3 parts after negotiating for months. In october Ludwig suddenly was back in the list of heirs because his excommunication had been lifted. Then the league delegated the decision to the "Landstände" of Straubing itself, who did not want to and gave the decision back to the Emperor...
And Sigismund needed until 1429 to finally decide to partition it in 4 quarters of which 2/4th went to Bayern-München and B.-Ingolstadt and B.-Landshut got 1/4 each.

Historically Austria got nothing. However my guess would be that Austria gets Straubing because Albrecht was a possible heir and someone had to own it until the 1429 decision.
Therion said:
Alternatively we could create a new country for Bavaria-Landshut. That way three of the four 'Bavarias' would be represented.
As one-province minors each one would be at risk to vanish ahistorically early compared to the 2 province Bavaria currently in the game. It´s possible but then each bavarian duchy would need an event to become the surviving united Bavaria.
