Provinces change over time

[unmerged(32886)]

I've been looking around but can't discover it. I would like to see provinces change through time or through an event. With this I mean the borders or even provs splitting up or merging with another prov, just like in real life. Hope it isn't too far-fetched. I'm probably way too late with requests, right!?

I think it would bring too much problems to development team and wouldnt bring any real use.

I agree that it would bring too much probs to the develop team; but I disagree that it wouldn't bring real use. Your statement would have meant that most future EU3 aspects of the game (better look, some events, pictures of leaders, ...) aren't useful. Oh well, plz put it on the list for EU4.
Thread may be closed on my behalf.

nice idea for EU4 indeed

What I'd like to see is the terrain changing over time. Europe was largely deforested and I'd like the game to model that.

This is what I also thought of, changing borders not via passing prov-s to others, but this engine can't handle it I think, it could maybe one for EU4 if it becomes a better, still 3d one.

Perhaps a hex-based map..

I remember the good old days when a statement like this didn't suffice to get you banned.

I was thinking about that...

Clearly this post has nothing whatsoever to do with him being banned.

Changing the province borders would be a bit too much, but I suppose you could change the province names (under some circumstances). It looks like the province name is just a text string displayed on the map, rather then being 'painted' onto the world like EU2.

So, for example, with certain North American provinces you could start with them having a 'native' name and then change it depending on who colonizes it first. Probably not worth the effort, but it might be kinda cool.
