Encyclopaedium: Historical Enhancements [BETA]

Description
A collection of different major and minor changes to steer the world in a more historical or logical direction - especially if the player isn't involved. This is an open beta. Suggestions or problem reports are very welcome.

Main ENCYCLOPAEDIUM 0.3.1 BETA changelog
  • Game Rules: choose which Encyclopaedium mechanics to include in your campaign at game start!
  • Expansion
    • Expansion into particular regions will be reverted: e.g. no Europeans in the African interior
    • Certain minor countries will be "kept alive" until it's their time to shine: e.g. Brandenburg will always survive into the 17th c.
    • Some historical border changes and country partitions (e.g. of Hungary) will take place dynamically
    • Army sizes massively slashed (taken from Responsible Warfare)
  • Colonization
    • Countries will not set up colonies outside of their respective historical regions
    • Minor colonies (e.g. New Amsterdam, Goa, New Sweden) will appear dynamically
    • North American tribes somewhat nerfed (taken from Natives Rebalanced)
  • Dynasties, unions and formables
    • Prominent dynasties (e.g. Habsburgs, Hohenzollerns, Timurids &c.) will stay in power
    • Persia, Mughals, Qing, the Netherlands etc. will appear much more consistently
    • Much higher chance of historical personal unions (e.g. England-Scotland or Austria-Bohemia) taking place
    • Charles V event chain - historical division of Habsburg realms included!
  • Reformation and HRE
    • Historically protestant regions will become protestant, historically catholics ones will stay catholic
    • Provinces outside of Germany, Italy and France will not join the Empire
    • Historical incident outcomes will be preferred
    • The religious league wars will usually end in the Peace of Westphalia
  • Technology
    • Institutions spawn locked to Europe
    • Embracement speed massively slashed
    • Non-european institution embracement made more tedious
  • Map changes
    • Much more accurate and aesthetically pleasing borders (mostly taken from Heavy Europe)
    • East European borders remade from scratch
  • Further plans
    • Localize everything - even AI-only events
    • Add events for other prominent historical leaders
    • Revamp institutions so that Asia stays on par with Europe until ~1650 and then falls off
    • And much, much more!

interesting mod

This is a great mod, thank you for updating it, other mods that focus on historical accuracy just change too much, but the changes in this mod are subtle in a good way

# HEY EVERYONE #
after a four year hiatus, Encyclopaedium returns! the mod has been remade from scratch, so it's still kinda raw and might be unstable, but i'm working on fixing as many issues as possible, as well as on bringing you NEW features - like gamerules (don't expect custom gui like in EE tho, i'm not gonna touch that with a 10 feet pole)!

P.S. regarding stuff i've borrowed from other mods - if you're an author and would like me to remove your stuff, message me and i'll happily (but also begrudgingly) do that

is this mod alive?

It's 1621 and the Religious Leagues haven't formed yet, is this a bug or is this intentional?

Decision to form Prussia (from Brandenburg) is broken. The ? symbol also highlights every province in purple (including sea tiles), not just Danzig and Königsberg.
