We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
An expansion to Nubia and Ethiopia would probably be a good idea in addition to making the Fatimid dynasty more unstable by giving the ruler some bad traits, and so on.
More slots, more holdings and splitting provinces plus maybe going south so that at least Shewa can be added would help a lot, yes.
Did anyone else see the "grant independence" option on the blockade screen?
I think Johan said that they were looking at ways they could implement this, so it might make it into the patch, or maybe they're just playing with it and end up deciding against it.
More slots and more provinces I think. Make Nubia a de_jure kingdom down south.
Its the Fatimids that need a massive nerf. They should start with 75% decadence at least.
I like how the Coastal Province casus beli got changed into a Coastal City casus beli - it should provide layers of tension between Republics and Feudal realms and smaller wars and conflicts around this mechanic type.
So seeing the pics, all coastal counties can become a republic while as requirement being a duchy beforehand and together with mentioned piety win by a war against an infidel republic, muslims can probably into space as well.
That should diminish some early anxieties.
edit: Damnit!! Too early. These harbours might be only tradeposts.
Curious, if the "grant independence" button is only for republic vassals or feudal as well. Hmm...
Playing a republic seems to become more and more interesting. Thanks Doomdark for the update despite being on holidays.

Oh boy, this look better and better.
I like that you made Genoa up to the rank of Most Serene Republic, same as Veneto (and Pisa).
Ancona is also playable later as ducal republic (starting as Grand Mayor).
I can not see where is that button for “Grant Independence”. Where did you guys spot it? That would be nice addition (I just need it in my current game) with some requirements needed to enable it.
I can not wait now for this. January 14th hurry up
EDIT: OK! now I see the option for independence on the screeny. Nice.

Wonderful stuff.
Hopefully they will buff Italian nobles and/or cities within the HRE, so that Italian culture still exists in the peninsula in the late game but perhaps in the North-East, given the importance of the area in the new DLC/Expansion.

They should probably set up feudal rulers who will give them a trade monopoly. Oh and there should be an option to divert a crusade to Byzantium
Really loving the new mechanics, looks very nice.
Speaking of crusades, I wonder if this means we'll see larger crusader armies, their numbers bolstered by mercenaries? Might improve their success rate, if that's the case.
Great stuff. Will feudal lords have something to counterbalance the Republics' CBs that allow them to take cities and entire counties? How will you prevent the AI from disembarking a 20K stack of mercs and assaulting their way to 100% in early years when the republics are already rich but fort levels are still low?
Also, how about we could make a deal with the doge to let him take an unused slot so he could build himself a city, in return for some reciprocal benefit?
If adding more mercs, could it be a good idea add smaller holy orders with a smaller hiring and upkeep cost?

You CAN have heresies of heresies. That's how it works once Catholicism becomes an Orthodox heresy. So, the best way would be to make Shia a Sunni heresy. The Fatamids would get gang banged by all their Sunni neighbours, and wih overland trade they'll never attack Nubia or Abyssinia.
Guys and girls, could we leave this thread for the republics and not turn this thread to yet another Fatimid/balance thread, please?
On topic: Sounds great, shut up and take my money! Wonder what will be discussed in further DD's? I believe at least one will be published before release. Does anyone know whether the merchant clothes for patrician characters are part of the patch or will there be another DLC for them? Hope the former.
