Heavy inaccuracies with Byzantium and Anatolia

Posted: 10 Feb 2021 10:45 AM PST

I know EU4 isn't exactly spot on with historical accuracy but I've noticed a lot of quite bothersome and nonsensical things while doing a Byzantium run.

For one, the rulers of Byzantium should be Roman Catholic while the state religion is Orthodox. This would be an effortless change that would easily reflect the Council of Florence. In context: the Emperor (John VIII) tried to get the Byzantine Church to unify with the RCC, but the vast majority of Byzantines rejected the union over not desiring to bow to the Pope and commune with "Latin heretics."

Additionally, Venice should also guarantee the independence of Byzantium to reflect the western aid sent to the Byzantines during the siege of Constantinople. I highly doubt this would prevent the Ottomans from beating Byzantium in an AI controlled game. After the death of John VIII, there should be an event for whether Constantine XI embraces or rejects the Union with Rome. Embracing keeps his religion as Catholic and continues Venice's guarantee, while rejecting changes his religion to Orthodox and revokes Venice's guarantee (and possibly have Venice set as a historical enemy). In both scenarios, the state religion remains Orthodox.

Anatolia's provinces is another thing that should be changed. Here's a map of Anatolia's demographics in the late 16th Century: https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-687a416fe9d2b2bc1e5a037e7702a655

They may not be precisely accurate but it isn't completely off. This is well over 100 years of Ottoman rule and Turkification, where western and northern Anatolia still remains Greek Orthodox. The Greek Orthodox majority regions were significantly larger in 1444 than the late 16th Century. In EU4, all of western Anatolia is Sunni Turkish. This should be changed to have western and northern coastal provinces as Greek Orthodox with Byzantine cores. Honestly this is an even bigger issue than not representing the Council of Florence imo. I don't get what the rationale is to have this blatant historical inaccuracy for Anatolia.
