The hype surrounding Paradox Interactive’s upcoming strategy game codenamed “Project Caesar” continues to grow, with many believing it to be the sequel to the company’s flagship title, Europa Universalis 4. Now, players have managed to piece together the rumored sequel’s map of Europa, and it’s the ugliest in the best way.

After weeks of drip-feeding the community with snippets of the Old Continent’s many regions, players in a May 17 Reddit thread have managed to piece together a complete map of Europe—albeit not with all the detail. It shows the world as it was in 1337: an aristocratically fragmented France, the Eastern Roman Empire still bearing down, and of course the Holy Roman Empire as the nightmarish, bloody hellscape it always was. It appears to be the most detailed map of Europe that Paradox has ever created, and the HRE in particular has been compared to meticulous mods like Voltaire’s Nightmare.

The Ottomans on the map are small and not yet an empire, though they will likely have a lot of modifiers to push into Europe and conquer the smaller Beyliks around them. Hungary, England, and Spain feel oddly united under a strong rule compared to the numerous, severely balkanized nations. If the HRE plays like it looks, we'll see hundreds of playable tags by the original launch date of 1337, which would make Paradox Tinto's new game one of the most diverse in the publisher's history.

There is currently no uniform map of other interesting regions, such as East Asia, but we will get one soon.
