- ✅ Hordes should not exist after the middle of the game, and the Ottoman Empire should expand more deeply into the Balkans and the Levant.
- ✅ Russia should unify and expand into Siberia, avoiding problematic alliances like Nogai-Moscow.
- ✅ Western European powers should build strong colonial empires, and Europe should be more advanced and powerful than the rest of the world as the eras progress.
- ✅ Adjustments are planned to give Europe an advantage, especially considering its disadvantage in population mechanics compared to some Asian nations.
