New Patch and DLC revealed

New York, May 30, 2012 – Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studio today reveal that players will soon be able to play as the Muslim rulers in upcoming DLC “Sword of Islam”.

The DLC will release at the same time as the next hefty patch which adds new features to the game, such as an expansion of the map into Mali-Songhay, differentiation on strong and weak claims, new plot, expanded combat and more.

Sword of Islam enables players to rule as the Muslim lords, delivering a wealth of specific new mechanics distinctive to these rulers, creating a whole new gameplay experience. Laws, marriage, holding, traits , titles and more will work completely differently.

Paradox Development Studio will post a detailed development diary each Friday where they’ll elaborate on the new features of the patch and the DLC in the official Crusader Kings II forum: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?551-Crusader-Kings-II

Crusader Kings II: Sword of Islam and patch 1.06 are scheduled to release in June 2012 for PC and Mac. Sword of Islam will be priced at $ 9.99.

Something bugging me, what is stopping anyone from not buying this DLC but mod the game to play the muslim faction? AFAIK from what i read people already mod this game to play the muslim faction now (since 1.05 patch?)

It won't work like that.

To clarify. You won't be able to play as a muslim unless you have that DLC.

1) Usermods have to be changed to another format if they want playable muslims and not support the DLC.

2) You will not convert to a non-playable religion in 1.06 unless you got the DLC which allows it.
