Well. Horse Lords will launch now, but after getting so hyped up I find myself just frustrated and not even wanting to play.
The people of the western steppe still look like post-conquest Anatolian Turks, or Slavs (despite paying for beautiful new portraits), and the great cities and fortresses of the steppe are still nonexistent. I've had to mod in the portraits I paid for.
Did nobody catch these errors? Did nobody care? What the hell, Paradox?
I want to love this expansion, but the glaring problems that made me want it so badly have been almost completely ignored.
I'm playing as Khagan of one of the great powers of its day, ruling over one of the largest cities in Europe at the time, but according to Paradox we're camping in an empty field, hoping to save up for a livestock pen. Not cool.
