I am not sure which one could be considered as the "Chinese Emperor". I prefer that the off-map power should be unavailable since East Asia was just a region with several independent countries in 936, just like Europe.

While the "one Empire" narrative was wrong for all practical purposes throughout most of history, having multiple actual emperors which were recognized by reasonably large groups of Han Chinese (the Emperor's main power base, even under Yuan and Qing rule) was pretty rare. So I'd argue that if you tried to contact "China", someone would answer.

Khotan made a tribute to Shi Jingtang in 938 and the Guiyi Circuit always interact with the celestial emperor.
Yes, the Western Protectale do not interact with the Persia and Arabia, but those in Tarim Basin also needs the help of China... Especially with an overpowered Kara-Khanid next to them!

The irish iceland isnt actually just some workaround, irish monks actually did stablish themselves in iceland and wrote about it, but when norse settlers started to arrive most of the irish monks decided to leave so as to not mingle with the potentially dangerous pagans.

I know. But even then having it as a full theocracy in every county is stretching things. From a technical standpoint it's definitely a workaround and an easy alternative to introducing a proper mechanic to settle uninhabited land

Given that the interaction with the CK2 world is through the Tarim basin, it would make sense that the power that can be interacted with is whoever controls North-West China. Also, CK2 just represents China in periods like this as civil war, where China can't defend tributaries, invade or give troops to western powers anyway, so it isn't all that important who is the chinese emperor.
 
Mein Gottt!

"Co-rulers" are one of the things on my wishlist of features. Karlings and ERE did it for a while to try and tie the eldest son down to the title, being primogeniture was taken as a given. There's no real way to replicate this ingame.

I really hope they do this. In England there's Henry the Young King during the vanilla timeline, too. And for the Faerun mod, the Grey Sisters of Aglarond and the Lords Magister of Waterdeep could make use of such a model.

Very happy to hear about the new startdate, thats probably my flavourite startdate to play a reconquista playthrough, early enough to be challenging and last longer, but all the main players are already present as kingdoms or duchies.
I really hope Iberia gets a little more flavour though, right now its very barren in comparison to the rest of Europe (You can fit the 9 counties that compose Wales inside the size of a single iberian county like Toledo, Lisbon, Granda, Evora, La Mancha, Jaen and Silves), not to mention the county borders looking artificial and ugly, and both the terrain and winters are way off reality.

Best PDX game, and the one I keep coming back to. Glad to see development is still going strong, thanks for all the new, free features. :)
 
WTF I love Paradox now

Also, since Iron Century is definitively better than Golden Century already, Paradox has proven that Iron is worth more than Gold.

I'm so excited to play as the Caliphate of Cordoba and a nascent Fatimid Caliphate. Especially if it means an Islam rework.
 
People be like: Payed DLCs? Paradox the worst. wth?! How many?!
Paradox give free content, people be like: You sure you wanna give it away for free?
