>>17294404>my dude, you realice that this is a map of EUIV?Yes, that's why I said to contrast it with a real world map.
>a map that shows the world in 1445?Province density and per-province development way too high in Europe, and to mask the fact that European micro-provinces would be invisible, they had to artificially enlarge Europe in the game's map. Further, by doing this, they killed the aspects of the game centered on going abroad, since most places outside Europe just aren't that rich. To get a France-equivalent (full France, not starting France) in another area, you'd need a complete hegemon to take over in most areas. By 1510, they can easily match the whole of China for development, and have such high income that they can spend the rest of the game declaring wars against other players in Europe or building manufactories. American silver never even comes into the picture. Europe's power is treated as inherent, gutting all themes of global interaction or expansion.
>in contrast, fuckin creeks and sioux federations are overpowered)They have to be, to get to a point where they can fend off European powers in the 1600s and 1700s.
