Ged's Existential Nightmare ended several years ago but the interest in a sequel following the game, esepcially as the map developed in an...interesting direction, has led to some tentative EUIV planning.
Having never played the game before, any advice on how to make the map and game match the inuniverse and CK3 endgame situation below would be appreciated.
Many thanks, and watch this space for potential updates.

Here is the first map, copied over from CK3:
As you can see, the Irish Empire extends over most of Europe from Iberia to the Ural mountains, from Scandinavia to partway down the Italian peninsula. The absolute furthest frontier of the Empire currently is the huge and unmapped mountains of the east, and the strange new islands off the coast of iberia and north africa. We currently have no presence in Africa itself, nor much interest in it.
Much of the land within the empire is severely underpopulated, due to wars of conquest, plauge and the...methods...the Irish used for colonisation and assimilation. It also means the vast majority of everyone who is breathing in the empire is Irish and Catholic, excepting in the Italian regions and furthest frontiers.
The home islands, low countries and Germany are fairly populous, wealthy and stable due to being under Ned dominance for centuries. Everywhere else is still suffering from aftershocks of a near century of blood and fire following the wrath of the Almighty Emperor.
The other powers on the map are:
The Papal states, who since Battle Pope Benedict, who defeated the HRE and invited crusading, have waged a succesful campaign to conquer most of Italy, and has several established lands in Africa. Their mortal enemy is...
The roman empire, the byzantines etc. Under the rule of the Emperor Titus and helias, the empire utterly crushed their neighbours, returned to dominance in the balkans, reconquered the middle east from the Islamic and Catholic kingdoms, and have a large presence in Egypt and the levant, stretching out east along the persia gulf and red sea.
Their on again, off again puppet state/bitch/ally Hungary has had a nice few centuries of being fed byzantine scraps, becoming large, stable and wealthy. It does mean they are compeltly surrounded by the Irish and Romans, but provided they stay neutral or friendly to constantiople, they should be alright.
The rest of the world is a mystery for now, though several Italian city states escaped the Papal conquest and established new realms in North africa. The strongest of these, pisa, has unifed them together, though whether they continue to exist, thrive in Africa, or attempt to reclaim their homeland from the Irish and Papacy...who can tell?
