They do mention in the article that the African changes were a planned mini-dlc that they decided to release with RoI instead. So yeah, i've got a feeling that certain elements have been underway for a while

I don't understand... you say that as if there was someting else to do as a Norse? Hrah too much for my head I'm gonna hang you for Odhinn One Eyed!
Probably explains why there was only really two expansions released in 2013. In 2014, we got 3 (four if you count SI).
Loving the sound of the East African changes. I had no idea Paradox had genuinely contemplated doing an African expansion next, so to see those changes included for free in a patch is fantastic news. Thank you!
This. I think they're doing it so that the Arabian Sea becomes more exciting (which Indians, Ethiopians, Arabs and Turks will all use), which fits in with the RoI DLC quite well.
Given how West Africa is now going to be more important, and it is quite different anyway from East Africa, I'd say we should be expecting one of the frontrunners for the next expansion to be a West Africa DLC, with significant fleshing out of the religion and culture of the region.

Caste system, diplomatic distance limit... when you though CK2 couldn't get more awesome, IT DOES.
whoa. I just keep getting more and more pumped for this. and 15 dollars?!?! I was expecting 20! sweet!!!!!
I think it's a typo...Ethiopia and Abyssinia are interchangeable, Aksum is even interchangeable with those two as all three were Empires of pretty much the exact same geographic region at various points in history.
I'm thinking they meant Mali.
Whether it's a typo or not though, I'm happy to hear to they're going to flesh things out or at least show East Africa some love. It definitely needs it so looking forward to hearing what those changes will be
So... Viking raids on Ganges?
Burma! That means Tibetan Empire should be there up north (China is still dodgable, though, except maybe the huge Tang dynasty blob.)
Diplomatic distance introduced? There you have, all you nay-sayers, pessimists and indophobs!
African rework? Hopefully it includes West Africa, too. I was a little skeptical first, although I thought all the pessimism and hostility got really out of hand and ridiculous, but noy I have to admit I am beginning to get a little bit pumped... Can't wait for the Dev Diaries!
This was pure speculation, he stressed it quite clearly.

Thanks, now I know that I'm not the only one who saw him as Moby.
I am so glad to see the pictures of the map looking good. I just wish that paradox devs ever used anything other than terrain mode.
