Byzantines' days are not yet numbered, England winning the 100 Years War is still very much in the cards, Golden Horde is still a major player and in China the Yuan dynasty still rules (barely). The 1356 offer much better potential for varied alternate history. Why 1356 is better than 1444 for a Late Medieval to Early Modern game. Johan has previously mentioned that the chance of making a game with multiple start dates is next to none, however I believe he should reconsider - CK3 devs have shown ability to support multiple start date by focusing on just 2 (8) and I believe EU5 should go the same way. However, I believe the current start date of 1444 is unsatisfactory compromise between two ideas of what an EU game should be - a grand strategy about the Early Modern period or a grand strategy about the transition from the Late Medieval period to Early Modern period.
I can see why this is - with the game originally supporting such a huge number of start dates, devs have bitten of more than they could chew. Currently, EU4 does not support other start dates than 1444, with it's later bookmarks being unbalanced or outright broken.
