The EUIV Nit-Picking about Historical inaccuracies that do and don't effect gameplay.

The Knights should NOT be Francien. Barely any of the members of that order came from Northern France. The Order was international, but a large majority and almost all the Grandmasters were from Southern France/Northern Italy region.
The correct culture should be occitain.

You mean The Knights? Their culture is Maltese. But their ruler names are Latin mixed with French.

Nope in the new patch they are Francien.

Nope in the new patch they are Francien.

Wait what? Why? I didn't even notice that :0

Venetian flag should be a golden lion on a red background. Quick search shows that it was the flag used during the EU4 timeframe by the Venetian republic. Also, just look at it I'd say it might just be the best looking flag:

Johan seems to be enamoured with the current blue flag, or at least that's what I think Wiz was implying, so rip in piece red Venice

-Southern Africa should have a lot more colonizable provinces as well as a colonial nation region, if a workaround can be found for feeding a colonial nation all of Africa

CNs can't be fed anything farther than two provinces outside their region.

I understand that this might be a controversial, but Lithuania shouldn't really use Lithuanian/Lithuanized names for rulers, leaders and ships. Her official languages were Ruthenian and then Polish.

Poland/Commonwealth names are a mess btw. First of all, some historical files were removed so Wladyslaw's are number incorrectly (you'll get Wladyslaw II instead of Wladyslaw IV). Second, the elective monarchy seems a bit bugged and sometimes (but not always) you'll get names from different cultures as your rulers (e.g. Johann Friedrich). The list of names for Commonwealth must also include both Polish and Lithuanian names, because one of my rulers was named... "Vladislovas I". Really Ck2 did better in that regard, at least it recognized different forms of the same names.

Speaking of names (this is turning into a rant) numbering are incorrect for many nations because of spelling issues (I believe Ottomans have both Mehmet/Ahmet and Mehmed/Ahmed set in various history and culture files) and use or lack of use of diacritical marks (I saw this in case of Inca and Timurids/Mughals at least).

Always wondered why is there no events for thirteen years war in prussia
its start just 10 years after game start

I don't see the point, both the players and the AI are almost guaranteed to fight an 13. years war equivalent on their own.

 

[Grand Historian]

You can't declare war during regencies.

Doesn't seem to stop them with CK2, its golden lion on red background there.

I think the age when the heir becomes ruler in a regency should be 10 instead of 15.

 

[Rubidium]

I think the age when the heir becomes ruler in a regency should be 10 instead of 15.

Why? Regencies tended to last until the ruler was "adult," which varied somewhat from nation to nation, but was certainly never as young as 10. Indeed, 15 is younger than was usually the case; Gustavus Adolphus, for example, wasn't declared of age (and thus free of regency) until he was 17, and 18 was the standard in England.

 

[Stefanos_P]

The Charrua tribe should be located in Uruguay and not in Argentina.

Even to this day Uruguayans are colloquially called Charruas, and fighting spirit "garra Charrua" even though we wiped the last of them about 175 years ago.

Mehmet II first came to power when he was 12, Shunzhi emperor came to power when he was 12, Murad IV was 11, etc.

I just suggested it because nobody wants to deal with brutal regencies for 15 years, in fact they should not be brutal.

 

[Chamboozer]

Mehmet II first came to power when he was 12... Murad IV was 11, etc.

Both of whom had regencies.

That being the case, regencies are still not implemented in a very interesting way as it stands.

Inaccuracies in Caucasus:

- Why are Dagestanis Shia? They are a Sunni group of people, I don't understand how Paradox got the idea of them being Shia.

- Caucasus was converting, it didn't have a homogenous religious structure. Circassia and Kabardia provinces should be Shamanist/Animist, Adyghe and Alania were converted to Orthodoxy. Terek should be Shamanist/Animist, Shirvan's Dagestani province and Gazikumukh's coastal province should be Sunni. Inland province of Gazikumukh can be both Orthodox and Sunni, since Dagestani near the Georgian border were converted to Orthodoxy back then.

I would add that Caucasus region could get a gold mine to make this region more attractive for hordes, or IF any caucasian nation survives the onslaught, then it would get a solid source of income to maintain forts.

Andean fixes:

-Mountains and jungles NEED to stop being massively expensive to develop. Labeling the Andes as nothing but sheer infertile mountains is so...hilariously inaccurate. Seeing capital provinces like Isfahan and Tabriz being hell to develop is painful. Seeing Java being labeled a bunch of grasslands as a workaround is also painful. Mountains should be no more expensive to develop than hills, and tags based on tropical regions should get a reduction to development costs in jungles. The entire world isn't Europe, prone to drop dead to malaria at any given moment.

completely agree with this statement. Minimum available buildings slot is already a big "nerf".

Alania could get it's Gold Mine back. Another inaccuracy would be Alania being Circassian rather than Ossetian or Alan. Kuban and Mantrega should be Circassian aswell;

"The population of Krasnodar Krai is concentrated in the Kuban River drainage basin, which was traditionally Cossack land (see History of Cossacks). The Kuban Cossacks are now generally considered to be ethnic Russians, even though they are still an important minority in their own right in the area. Other notable ethnic groups are the Adyghe, who have lived in the Kuban area for thousands of years..."

There is a separate thread about Caucasian region, and I would be grateful if added your opinion about the subject of discussion.

Colonization goes way too quick.

It seems to me like it's been going a lot slower since 1.12

 

[Frozen Yakman]

Brandenburg should not have a core on Neumark and might deserve a Historical Friend modifier with the Teutons.

Riga should be a member of the Holy Roman Empire with decisions to secularize following the reformation to become a Free City.
