Well, the team in-charge of the 'content developers' (who are pratically paid and SLOW modders) itself should be more than able to fix 80% of the issues in most cases. These games rarely even see coding added on DLCs and usually it is nothing big, but still debugging shows over 2000 errors (after playing for a few hours) in many cases in other games made by Paradox. Errors even modders could fix, fyi.

Similarly, most of the things people complain about, could be fixed. One cannot understand how most European (major) countries do not have their own special regiment since their military was usually superior to others, but 3rd world backwater places like Rajputs, Ethiopians (that couldnt even defend themselves without Portuguese help) and others get them.

Even I could fix these issues and I am not even being paid for, but I rarely play EU4 these days due to how boring it has become. You cannot simply understand how Denmark still has a pretty basic and generic mission tree, but Kongo and places that were pratically of 0 interest to world history have much more complex mission trees, in a game called EUROPA universalis FOR F*** SAKE!!!!!
Just because you have a Eurocentric view of history doesn't mean that is all that is relevant or interesting.

Saying that Africa and India are "third world backwaters" with no relevance to world history is just a weird stance to take. And even if that was true, it can still be fun to play in a historical sandbox video game.

Also the "ItS cAlLeD EuRoPa UnIvErSaLis" argument is flawed anyway. The name is a relic from the time where the game was an adaption of the board game of the same title and, true, the focus was on Europe. But guess what? There was ONLY Europe. The rest of the world just didn't exist. But you can't just change the title of a game series after a few titles, even if the focus has shifted.

If someone insists on using the title as an argument against developing interesting things outside of Europe, they should go back to a game version that has nothing but Europe. I recommend EU1.

Still, the game should be Euro-centric. This period in time is how Europe affected the rest of the world, so it would make sense that Europe should be the main focus of the game.

Okay, let's get it all out of the way:

Boo, fix patches instead of making new content!
Boo, make new content I am personally interested in!
This is a boring region, don't make interesting content for this region because it is not interesting!
Please add content for [entirely different region]!
Please add content for [region that just got a DLC]!
Oh my god those place holder images have no African flair at all, noobs!

Did I miss anything from the Mission Announcement Discussion Pack (tm) ?
This region might not be played often because its too difficult but I like playing it just cause, and they already announced that their fixing the game.

I belive that most f it is already Euro-centric but it wouldnt hurt to have a little more.

So in the near 400 years between 1444 and 1821, you really don't think anywhere in the world EXCEPT for Europe had any relevant history?

Never said that. You're pulling that out of your ass, friend. All I'm saying is that Europe was the dominant player in what was happening in the world during 1444 and 1821.

Less content rushing, more bug fixing and balancing. Instead of feeding us more broken content.

Everyone should be reporting Paradox after Leviathan for the wilful selling of a broken product.
