ok, I'll look forward to seeing those along with other information about the bookmark this week them.
Those are some interesting characters!
Will Abu Tahir be Hurufi or was another Shi'a heresy added?

Also - Poland in 966 was baptised - will it be represented in any form of narrative event or something rather than pure randomness? Also in the year 1000 there was a Congress of Gniezno, where Polish king was crowned by Otto III and for a moment, historians argue, Poland became part of the HRE (well, it was purely symbolical, but still...). It would be strange to start playing in 936 and see Poland for the rest of the game stay slavic, just like it's possible in the earlier bookmarks.
He'll be Qarmatian.
We haven't added anything specific for Poland. It is hard to make anything happen 30 years after the start of a playthrough, as the game can play out in a thousand different directions at that point.
Any chance we can see the features of the Qarmatian heresy? I imagine they must have either Raiding enabled or a special event to allow us to re-enact their sacking of Mecca.
I'm quite sad that Abd al-Rahman III Umayyad didn't make it to the interesting characters. He was the greatest figure of Andalusian Spain and in 929 was proclaimed the first Caliph of Cordoba. He supressed the rebellions of his state, defeated the Fatimids, constructed the palatine city of Medina Azahara, a UNESCO world heritage site. His reign corresponds to the splendor of Andalusian Muslim Spain. He is definitely more imporant for the time than some of the figures selected.

Woo, finally confirmed after much teasing!
Is he getting a unique government as well?
That's great! It would be nice if all the heresies had this sort of thematic flavor.
I think it would be much more appropriate to rename Zoltán Árpád to Zolta Árpád. Although both names are accepted in Hungarian for the ruler, Zolta is much much more common, and it seems that the English wiki is the only one addressing him as Zoltán. The reason behind this is that even though the names sound really similar, they have different roots. Zoltán is coming from Turkish from the word Sultan, Zolta (Solt or Zsolt) is coming from the Slavic languages (zolota, zlata meaning gold or golden).
Makes sense, most mods that feature them do more or less the same thing if I recall.
