Good, having the edge of the Map there was a pretty big advantage when playing the Muslims and Zoroastrians out that way.

Uh, what are you talking about? There's a ton of land that should be open to conquest. The Islamic conquest of India was one of, maybe the most important economic events of the early Medieval period. The Ghaznavids and Ghorids should be able to make fucking bank, but instead they're basically eunuchs

What was the Chinese presence in the Tarim Basin in this period? That'd be pretty neat to play as. Chinese expeditionary force that gets lucky and conquers the Punjab.

My experiences of  playing those countries?  It just feels ridiculous to magically have a completely safe backdoor.

Anyway now you can make fucking bank and I get a more realistic playing experience.

Oh God no that would be horrible.  YOu would basically have the same problem.

You have to survive the Mongols.  No cushion.

I wonder what the start date will be.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Why would it have to be different?

TBH I'd actually like to see it go in to the EUIV timezone at some point.  Expanded Republics and the Ottomans and whatnot.  Playing the Medicis would be cool.

What's the plague like in the game?  I've played CK2 as much as any game ever but don't clearly remember ever playing up to the plague.

There is no plague, it's horrible.  :mad:

What the Christ?  I guess that explains it.  I've gotten to the 1360s at least without getting hit.

I guess that kind of makes sense.  It'd totally fuck up everyone's games if half your house was to die within a few months of 1350.

Expansion to India does nothing for me. I have never played in Persia or Africa (other than Egypt) either.

I'd play in Persia with the map extended. As it is currently, the middle east is cut off rather...unfortunately.

I do wonder though what will happen as far as undiscovered territory or what have you - as it doesn't really make sense that Christian Europe would be undertaken diplomacy with characters in India.

Re-Celticizing Britain as the Dark Age start Welsh (Deheubarth) is kind of disappointing.  I kept expecting the names to change, like with the Norse conquests.  Nothing.  No visual changes, and most of the titles apart from Lancaster don't switch.  It's also a huge hassle, and worked mostly because a unified Mercia-Wessex was totally fucked over in a Cathar rebellion after the north was lost to the Vikings.
