Demo: Muslims Playable

[Tengri]

I'm sure by now everyone knows that you can play as anyone on the map if you hit that county after you hit 'start'. I thought I'd give playing as a Muslim kingdom a go, and it worked just fine.

Haven't tried republics yet, but thought I'd let everyone know in case it hadn't occurred to you to try it.

Pardon, WHAT?

Yeah, noticed this too, with the pagans.
Why did paradox say that the muslims/pagans were unplayable, when in fact, they are completely playable with almost no problems, without any modding?

probably they are playable but don't have any new mechanics as they should. I suppose paradox intended to make them playable (DLC) with some new gameplay/flavor, not just as european lords with different culture/religion.

We don't want them playable as some half-assed versions of Christians with event texts that don't suit them, temple holdings that make little sense, etc.

You will notice that you will hardly get any events because muslims are excluded from a lot of events.

Modding the game to make muslims playable will be trivially easy and, in fact, you can play non-christians without cheating by converting too.

Republics result in an instant game-over. Same for bishoprics.

I like to play with my events intact, thanks

I think that's fair enough.
