I am presuming that there were at least some wars in this period of time, which would make for good events. Since the V2 mod is taking place starting 1790 CE (the date in-game is Hijri, since it makes more sense given the context), I presume that we are seeing both the Middle East, Asia, and Europe as more fragmented. Without ideas to spark the Renaissance, and diseases such as the Plague destabilizing the social structures, Europe never really leaves the Middle Ages. With the Holy Land under Christian control, the Crusades never occur, leading to the direct infusion of both ideas and disease not happening.
The POD, IIRC, is a Byzantine victory at Manzikert, leading to the Empire regaining control over the Holy Land. The Middle East and Asia, on the other hand, progressed as Europe did, becoming the Great Powers of the world.
I've been trying to piece together what's been discussed in the DBWI thread.įor all intents and purposes - Europe outside of the Balkans, today, is equivalent to the Middle East of OTL today.
