What historical events would you like to see included/excluded?

For what I understood, the period will be from (roughly) 1715 (death of Louis XIV) to 1815 (Waterloo). So the game will miss the Gribeauval and Vauban innovations.
In term of events, I would like to see the Fronde (1643 death of Louis the XIII, his heir Louis XIV is 4 years old…). Including Louis the XIV to Louis the XV reign –started at age of five- would be a plus, as Louis XIV reign is quite famous for all it wars, and Louis XV (1715-1774) almost losing what his grand-father gained…

As a Belgian, I would like see the Peasant's War ( we know it as 'de Boerenkrijg ) included. The majority of you would think: What is the Peasant's War ?

wikipedia says:
The Peasants' War (Luxembourgish: Klëppelkrich, French: Guerre des Paysans, German: Klöppelkrieg, Dutch: Boerenkrijg) was a peasant revolt in 1798 against the French occupation of the Southern Netherlands, including modern Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of Germany, during the French Revolutionary Wars.

The revolt was sparked off by the introduction of conscription for all men aged between 20 and 25 years old in Luxembourg, in late September 1798,[2] and quickly spread, enveloping most of the West Eifel.[3] For the most part, the revolt was restricted to the peasantry, hence its name, and the revolutionary impulse barely spread to the middle classes, for whom the spirit of anti-clericalism and modernisation that the French Revolution brought were advantageous.[4]

Bereft of organisation and military training, and without the backing of the middle classes, the insurgency was quickly put down by the French occupiers.[5] In retribution for the revolt, 94 insurgents were tried, of whom 42 were sentenced to death.[6]


the majority would still say: what? But the Peasant's war was one of the most important events in the old Netherlands ( = Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg ), especially in the Southern Netherlands ( modern day Belgium ) and, more precise, in the east of Flanders and Campine ( de Kempen in dutch ). Every city had its own leader ( most important were: Harts ( from Geel ), Corbeels ( from Turnhout ), Rollier ( from Sint-Amands ), Van Rompay ( from Bonheiden ) and Van Gansen ( from Westerlo )
and its own corps of 'Brigants'.
The leaders of this revolt and the Brigants are still hero's in Flanders and it would be a shame if this revolt of historical importance isn't included.

Hmmm, in 1700 the Great Northern War was on. Does this mean that Muscovy and Russia will start out at war? I think Austria was fighting a few of its neighbors too.

I want to exclude ALL historical events when game started.

Let's say I start a game at 1700, i want all the events and conditions to be exactly what it was up to that time. The more realist the better. But once the game started, I don't want any arbitrary event.

Why? because it would be ridiculous to play Louis XVI knowing I will get guillotined :)
