So we are splitting Hinduism and Buddhism into a bunch of sub-religions?

I mean map expansion is one thing, but the direction ....

CK community: "Hey, adding China would be cool!"
Paradox: "Sure thing, more of Africa it is!"
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

The problem is, particularly when talking Africa, everything there is basically made up. All of the rulers and the names of the religions they have assigned. They already had difficulty enough with real rulers, real religions when Africa was smaller.

But then I guess that just points more to the focus of CKIII being an rpg with light historical dusting.

Note, they are perhaps hinting about China as an expansion. They are now including Myanmar and more of Mongolia.

I've resigned myself to the realization that Paradox games, going forward, are about as historically realistic as Total War games, possibly less so.

Yeah, Garbon is basically right here. I think this game is expanding in scope past my interest and I'm probably going to pass until it's deep-discounted.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

On the plus side, CK2 still exists. :)

Yeah, that's my plan. And that's a shame.

But yes, Syt, I'll continue to get my kicks in Ck2.

I will say one thing for new Paradox games: map doesn't suck anymore. :P

True maps be looking great with last release and this one. Shame that is the only thing looking great. :blush:

Apparently the entire map was leaked:

So an additional suggestion that China will be eventually added (torn map)?

Man I hate the big PTI blobs. You'd think it wouldn't take much effort to make them look like pretty little desert areas and so.

Very curious choices of what to include there on the fringes. The most important part is of course how its broken down within the core game area.
