it WILL be similar to the 867 startdate in CK3. game is going to forever simulate the 1337 date with tiny statelets and bordergore for the rest of the game. no major countries will form with few blobs.
in a recent CK3 performance dev diary 187 the devs refered to 150 years later as 'lategame', it seems like in eu5 they don't really care for long campaigns and wont bother simulate them for the player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-vQV0xfkK0
afaik paradox has constantly avoided showing off lategame eu5 maps knowing it would look like ass
ex. this screenshot was released ~2 months ago (1770 byz player), and deliberately avoided a political map. just like in CK3 they are not even going to work on lategame
