Europa Universalis 5, ein beliebtes Geschichtsvideospiel, enthält viele Fehler bezüglich der ethnischen Demografie und ich brauche Quellen, um den Entwicklern ihre Fehler im aktuellen Feedback-Thread aufzuzeigen. Ich brauche Bücher, Websites usw. um zu zeigen, dass Albaner schon immer im Kosovo, Epirus, Griechenland und Mazedonien gelebt haben.

The game takes place in the year 1337. The culture map works like this

brown=majority albanian

brown with stripes on it=majority albanian with a big minority

brown stripes=albanians are a big minority but not majority

But the brown stripes in Greece are all aramonians and not albanians.

In this map you can see wich part represents what province/city. As you can see Prizren ate Kukes and is shown as majority Serbian. Dibra is somehow majority Bulgarian/Macedonian, not a single part of Macedonia is majority Albanian, Greeks are a majority in Vlore while Albanians got no presence in Greece. As I said the source can be anything as long as I can link its existence.

There are 0 mistakes in there. Stop coping

Anything from Noel Malcom should help balance things out

I didn’t think many other albanians played paradox games
