It would require quite a few events to railroad history, I'm not sure people would like it in vanilla. A lot of people already dislike the event with partitioning Burgundy.

Then add Styria and don't railroad? I personally hate that Austria (and to some extent Bohemia) is this powerful at game start.
Austria (and also Moravia and Silesia) was easily conquered by Hungary in the second half of the 15th century, yet ingame that's totally impossible (AI vs AI). Even worse, it happens the other way around most of the time.
We have multiple start dates. If I start in 1444, I want to have a historical starting situation for that time.
If I want to have a strong Austria in the game, there are all the start dates from sometime in the 16th century, where they are among the top powers. In the 15th century they were very far from that, Hungary was the dominant power in the region.
My dream is to have as few railroading in EU4 as possible, with as accurate starting situations as possible.
To be able to choose a fix point in history where I can start my game, and see how this alternative history turns out with my lead.
Obviously I would get rid of the Burgundian Inharitance event for good. No place for it in the game in it's current form. But that's just one example for the same thing.

I wouldn't mind it, railroading is just adding back in the stuff that is already going on at this point.
No one complains about railroading in HoI4. I don't see why those of us who are more familiar with events in the eu4 era should be given less option than those who are familiar with ww2.

The Habsburg lands is one of several situations (see also Bavaria or Pomerania for instance) where we have kept lands like this united.
Here's a previous general post as to why: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...adislaus-the-posthumous.952109/#post-21483165

Given that Styrian branch of Habsburgs came out at the top in the end, it would make sense for them to be a separate tag at the start in my opinion. Moravia could start as a Bohemian vassal too. Not sure about Bavaria(I only know there should be more free cities e.g. Regensburg), but Pomeranian dynastic squabble was pretty insignificant in the game's timeline so they could stay intact.
