I will do a scenario, but I do not know what scenario.

Please post your opinion on what scenario I should do.

If there is sevral persons who wants a scenario wichs seams fun then I will do it.
 
Many wanted a United germany and i have herd people want that in the IGC to so i wont do it. Instead i think i will do a "what if scenario" in wich the HRE is more a real country and not warring against itself all the time.

If no one comes with a better idea i will do this.

If you like the "what if" scenario you are welcome to come with ideas of other possible what if things.

"What if" the Ottomans had succeeded in conquering all of Europe? The scenario would begin in 1792 as rebellions start to break out across the vast Ottoman empire. Begining with one or two liberated rebel provinces, guide your people as they withstand attacks from huge Turkish armies, bent on your destruction and subjugation. Make contact with far-flung rebel movements in other conquered countries and help each other throw off the yoke of Ottoman oppression. Liberate every conquered province in your former nation and declare independance( Im REALLY laying it on thick in this next part;)). One might well believe then that the worst is over, but the challenges are only just beginning...

I like games with many big powers because I like to play a small nation and almost play hands off and it is more fun to watch a big war betveen turkey and austria-hungary with help of poland then knights of st john warring modena =)

At the moment i am tinking these what ifs:

*What if HRE was a nation?
*What if timur lenk manged to unite the mongols after his death to?
*What if the shite and sunni muslims joined aganst a common foe?
*what is the kalmar union was liked by sweden?

*This would change the HRE from small pathetic nations into a super power.
*No powerfull russians(Sho much niser the world would be;)) But a really powerfull nation in the east (kazan and crimea = parts of the golden horde wich is a vassal of uzbeckistan. Persia, iraq and the mughal empire is a part of Uzbeckistan)
*Mamelukes, hedjaz, oman, aden and Nubia is vassals of the Turks
*As all areas is more powerfull this is needed to balance the game, maby the union have captured the baltic harbours to...

This is almost tuning into a super power scenario... maby i should go even furtur back in history to make my what ifs..... Or move forvard.
What if colombus never sailed to America, The pope said it was herasy to try. How might the world look in 1650?

Hmmmm i need lots of help deciding, and get more ideas.
I am now more into the no america thing then the super powers....
HELP!!! :D
 
Possibilities

I think the best scenarios are those which are in some respects historically plausible. I think it would be interesting were Samaria, Judea, Syria, and Lebanon transformed into the Crusader kingdoms of old, surviving the Turkish menace which fells the heart of Christendom, Constantinople, and stands ready with alliances to the more powerful major powers at the onset of 1492 ... prepared to launch a Crusade through copious CBs against the infidels.
 
I think historical scenarios is the best. I also think that EU similates scenarios in 1492 to 1792 best. But most historical scenarios in this time is alredy made so then i do i what if.
It was not impossible that columbus would not have been premited to sail away. That is what i think i will do.
 
Any of guys ever read "Pastwatch" by Orson Scott Card? Anyhow, in the book it hypothesized that our timeline was created by switching an original timeline.
The original timeline stated that Columbus wanted to liberate Constantinople above all and united all the European nations against Turkey to do this. They succeeded, bloodily however. And the timeline goes on to say that the Aztecs (actually they used the Tlaxacans) developed some moderate technology (iron working, ocean going ships, immunity to plagues from intermittent Portuguese contact) and expanded in the Caribbean and eventually to a weakened Europe itself, which became a land of human sacrifice.
So, to avoid this, the future people of the original timeline appear to Columbus as God and convince him to sail west instead of creating his great Crusade. Thus, spawning our timeline.
The book goes on to spawn a third timeline, but my point is that wouldn't it be interested to generate a scenario based on the original timeline: Columbus' Crusade against the Turk? You could bring many contingents from Christian nations into this, make a grand alliance of sorts. You would eliminate explorers for a 20-50 year period to simulate the absence of Columbus' feat. Now, to do the Aztecs/Incas, you'd have to do something like make them Muslim or Orthodox to give them some technological development.

Yes, I find the "what if" scenarios great fun.
I’ve just started testing one as The Knights Templars.

Quote from "The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail":
"After the fall of the Holy Land, The Templars thought increasingly of a state of their own in which they might exercise the same authority and autonomy as the Teutonic Knights. Unlike the Teutonic Knights, however, the Templars were not interested in the harsh wilderness of Eastern Europe, They dreamed of founding their state on more accessible, more congenial soil – that of the Languedoc."

So I've erased The Albigensian Crusade and the crushing of The Order from history and made Languedoc a Templar state.
Also gave Montpellier a port and a small CoT.
Put CB shields on Cyprus, Samaria, Judea and Lebanon.
But still, it's a long way to Jerusalem.
