For those not in the know, the above post is a pun on the popular anime/manga series Attack on Titan.
We know that he himself is fabulous. Don't know about the horse though.
They want to get married, but not have children.
Hey. That's only like a -1000%. Still a chance of babies if you're damn lucky. I wonder if it still shows eunuchs...
Really? because with some of the characters I've played I've really have to wonder.
Well at least that random eunuch courtier from Hindustan in game won't be Mande culture anymore 
That always bothered me, hopefully those courtiers from that event will now be of a correct Indian culture.

It simulates the medieval machinations of medieval feudal lords, therefore, it is a medieval simulation game...
Clip-clop sends hugs!

Or, in summary, the immersion-breaking feature of the Indian DLC is that it will have India in it...
The marrying people across the globe thing always bothered me. When I wanna see who I marry my daughter to the option isn't dukes and counts in my realm with a few neighboring independent dukes, kings, and maybe an empire, it is kings around the globe, as though the King of Wales marrying his daughter to the King of Ethiopia happened fairly regularly. Makes it annoying to try and find people of my own culture to marry my kids to.
So once it starts simulating the machinations of Indian lords, it will be an Indian simulation game.
Some people need to work harder at suspending their own disbelief, rather than whining about their immersion being broken.
I mean, if I'm cleansing my realm of heathens, I am imprisoning, banishing, and handing out new titles to the point that it reminds me of an old data entry job I had. But I still feel like an emperor, just a really micro-managing emperor that might abuse some holes in feudal law, because his Cataphracts let him get away with it.

On the other hand, in the early 12th century, the first Kings of Portugal would marry Danish and Italian princesses.
And in 1382, the king of England married the daughter of the king of Bohemia (who was, admittedly, also the Holy Roman Emperor at the time). I hope that they do add a "distant realm" penalty to marriage interactions (which, ideally, would at least partially replace the "must not marry an infidel" mechanic) and other forms of diplomacy, but I hope that the effects of it become less severe as one hold higher ranking titles.
EDIT: And that it can be partially or completely canceled for people you are already familiar with (either by the mostly pointless "friend" mechanic, or by previous marriages between your families).
