I should play an India campaign sometime.  I mean, I own the DLC and all that.
Kind of meh.  Buddhism is lame and Brahmanism is kind of evil.  I do enjoy raiding in to India as a Zoroastrian or Armenian though.

Hasn't there been a lot of optimization in patches/dlc subsequent to RoI that have sped things back up?

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Are you talking about these religions just within the context of how they work in CK2 or in general?  If the former, I remember reading about them in some CK2 wiki and thinking they seemed to work strangely, but it's been too long ago for me to remember the details.

I do think Buddhism is kind of a boring religion in CK2. I cannot confirm or deny the evilness of Hindustan.

Both.

Hinduism has some decent mechanics, and you still get to do real Holy Wars though.  I played a pretty interesting game as a Rajput once.

I think Hinduism is neat.  I think it'd be cool to worship a monkey. :)

France was very strong for a long time, and has held onto eastern Iberia for nearly a hundred years, but England has somehow created an Angevianesque empire while I wasn't looking. The Ilkanate, which rules Khiva, Afghanistan and much of Pakistan off the map has converted to Islam, while the Golden Horde looks like it will fall to Sunni rebels soon.

Meanwhile, in Constantinople, the ending of the schism is now at hand!

It's not impressive when you save scum.
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

How many times did you save-reload, Tim?
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.

Quite a few, but as I said I enjoy it more when I have to.

There was a Byzantine game I posted about a year ago when I inherited the Kingdom of Italy like five or ten years into the game (married my father to the princess, she inherited and then died, then her daughter died and I inherited it). Never had to reload and reconquered the whole Empire. Not nearly as fun as this game.

In my current game, the Ilkhanate rules almost all of Persia, the Arabian Peninsula, and Georgia, and just converted to Nestorianism.

Then why didn't he post in my Zoroastrian Kurd thread! ? :ultra:

All the great leaders of history do it from time to time. You don't really think Napoleon escaped from Elba do you?   Frederick the Great needed the console cheat to remove Elizabeth.  Lincoln did Bull Run twice before giving up on it. 
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
