Auto change of leader's names

[pyotr]

How about something like this:

if year >= 1870 then leaders = "Wilhelm III"
if year >= 1933 then leaders = "A. Hitler"
if year >= 2005 then leaders = "A. Merkel"
etc...?

I've proposed something similar, but with traits and bonuses attached to each leader/

They'd need three different flags, or rather two, the swastika would be a legal issue (not only) in Germany. Various patches adding a German empire (1870-1918) already exist, maybe they make it in 2.5.6 and/or 2.6.0. At the moment (incl.2.6 and 3.0) flags cannot change, not depending on the year, also not depending on the government.

Maybe your suggestion could be covered by scriptable flag + leader changes per nation in a future version (after 3.0)
