Many have wished to play a super-campaign from Charlemagne up to modern day, but as Vicky 2 is slowly becoming obsolete, it is harder and harder for a normal player to take their nation from the Medieval ages and bring it up to modern day. The other reason we aim to extend back towards 1856 is due to Vicky 2. HOI4 was less of a long term, continuous gameplay experience, and we wanted to reenact that. We thought this was preposterous, but we also thought so much potential was lost compared to EU4 or CK2. World Domination runs were too easy once you could snowball, and impossible empires would stretch across continents in the span of half a decade.

The very nature of having more than 20 years to play with has become a reason for EoaNB to continue this project. Our prime goal was to start the game from 1857 instead of 1936, and give the player not 20 but 200 years of possible gameplay. The most obvious, the most upfront reason and our final goal.
