Are you sure there acctually shortening the time by a few yeas in EU2 they had a while as Bysantantium

Yes. Johan explicitly said in a Gamespot interview that the game would run from 1453, after the fall of the Byzantine Empire to the Ottomans, to roughly "the time of the revolutions in France and America." This information has been repeated by forum moderator Mr. T on the Paradox forums.

The speculation is that this was explicitly to avoid having to deal with Byzantium (given that the game has new features for dealing with empires), but in Johan's words, "On eu3, until you see something posted by me or susana in an exact confirming sentence, you can only guess what our insinuations goes towards."
