Not having read this thread I don't know if it's been suggested already, but I'd really like a character tracking system. It could use something like the alert system, or the outliner, but you should be able to track anyone you desire. A tracked character would be listed on the main screen somewhere and important details could be checked via a tooltip, and a click would take you to the faimly tree/ledger. In addition you should be able to set it up to alert you to certain changes, like them becomeing of marriagible age, gaining/losing heir status, or dropping below a certain loyalty etc.
On revision, to start at any date does seem impractical given the amount of work required, but it would still be optimal; why aim for less when you can have more..
The problem in EU3 is that most players don't need exact start dates. Most are happy if they start in the right century. Unless you are a historian (oh right there are quite a few on these boards
), you most likely simply will not need it.There are a few cases where the major effort of starting at any date can be justified when history was changed radically over the course of a few years. But in general, I feel frankly it's more work than it's worth, also from a testing perspective; it's easier to test a few fixed scenarios.
A cool side effect of the EU3 system though was you could watch border changes in the scenario screen as if watching a movie.
