Also, what's with the duchies of East and West Frisia, are they dejure, titular, or just cultural names of old duchies?
West Frisia is actually what the Duchy of Holland was called before it became Holland.

Right, but in the game right now it's currently just called Holland, regardless of whether you are Dutch, Frisian, or German. I'm curious if that has changed now.

And regarding Frisia, the split was of the stem duchies, of which Frisia was not a member. Saxony still gets to hold onto Frisia, Carinthia, and the northern, eastern, and Billung marches because they're the ones deciding who gets what. You do end up with the minor kingdom of Thuringia, but hey, if you like hard starts, who am I to judge?
 
blessed snow crystal is a true paragon of the developer faith living a generous and diligent life . In a grand announcement, the paradox community have decided to canonize snow crystal "the content creator" Many tales are told about the saint and feats he did in development time.
It was often said that snow crystal was so generous that he gave the community an entirely new start date, for free.
It is a great honor for the dev team of the blessed saint, may we all aspire to be as pious as him. Blessed be his name

Though I appreciate the sentiment, I've received a lot of help from our betas and a couple of other people. They deserve the gratitude just as much as I do.

That aside, let us try to stay on topic please.
 
The Kaaba was still in Mecca. The Qarmatians had the Black Stone (which is something contained within the Kaaba). I believe they wanted to redirect/end Hajj, but the Hajj continued unabated to Mecca. Maybe it would make sense for the rest of Islam to have a small Moral Authority malus to signify the stone being held by the Qarmatians?

Now, if there were options to redirect/end Hajj if if the Moral Authority of Sunni/Shia is low and the Qarmatian Moral Authority was high... That could be an interesting idea.
I like this idea, but I doubt we will get any new mechanics, as this seems to be just the start date. There are always mods though.
 
Looks fine but why muslim flags still lame?

No country in islamic history uses swords in their flags.
Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan (1919 - 21), Iran, Nejd, Aceh, the Mutawakkilite Kingdom, and others?
 
Does anybody else think it's bizarre that there are no bloodlines for the Abbasids or the Ummayads or for literally any Muslim dynasties in general?
Is it because the idea of being descended from Mohamed, represented in game by traits, served a similar roll in cementing authorityu as descending from important men in Christendom or the Pagan World (bloodlines)?
 
Seeing that nile river, an option to reopen/remake Pharaoh's Canal would be nice :D
I wish we could use it in Imperator also.
 
Will we see a stream for this before it drops? Also do we have an idea of when we are getting this? I know we don't have a set date, but will this be a short wait like Great Works, or long like Holy Fury?
