Reformation of Switzerland

[coorta19]

As developers have (thankfully) changed unified Bavaria during Emperor patch into various independent counties, which can be unified, the same should be done with Switzerland as Switzerland as present in game in 1444 is absolutely ahistorical -

1.it did not even have designated capital
2.each canton was basically independent only bound by various bilateral or multilateral treaties
3.as result of 2 old swiss confederacy in 1444 did not even have common foreign policy as each canton/city has its own interest and it was extensively used by enemies of Switzerland to prevent them from achieving greater success during wars of 15-16th century
4.there was no common swiss army - each city or canton had its own army
5.basically until the end of Old Swiss confederacy there was no unifying head of state.

I propose to divide Switzerland so that each of provinces that currently consitutes Switzerland are independent tags with every Swiss tag being able to form Switzerland via achieving leadership of confederation (maybe via being the most developed part of confederation) and forcing through centralisation reforms. Of course each of those tag should be in something similar to tribal federation with 4-6 centralisation reforms being available to them and after completing sixth one a new state - Switzerland will be created.

My sources - aside basics from wikipedia (check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Swiss_Confederacy#Cantons ) and book history of Switzerland by Werner H. Meyer and Georg Kreis.

You'll have to forget about it, they ain't touching the HRE anymore. They are focusing on areas which haven't been touched in forever, like Africa, the baltic countries, maybe parts of the middle east, and perhaps the Americas.
Also, they are trying to not add any more tags/provinces as the game is struggling with the amount we have now.

PD: Do you have a link for that history book?

Well, I sort of expected that, but one can always hope.... As for the book I only know about czech version, which you can find for example here https://www.martinus.sk/?uItem=466019

Maybe EU5 could feature new type of alliance - League/Confederacy to represent Swabian league and Helvetic confederation with a possibility to form Swabia/Switzerland.
