I stand corrected. Should have thought about 'da drama queens too. :happy:

I really doubt that this has anything to do with geography, I think it's a ploy. I bet it has more to do with the characters themselves.
Given the picture hints, this seems to be pointing toward a fantasy setting along the lines of A Song of Ice and Fire. Paradox has tried to get the license before, maybe they got it this time? I know this is a "Crusader" game, but it is really a game about preserving dynasties.
If those pictures were meant for other titles, then I'd have to go with playable holy orders. The Teutonic Knights and the Livonian Order are a nice change of pace from monarchies and republics in EU4. Though in all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if this became a Sunset type Golden Horde/Asian Invasion DLC. I really don't see this being India, though an Eastern version of the game would be fun to play.

1. Perhaps not geography, but a setting requires some sort of location (either on the map or something like a throne room for feudal characters).
2. Playable holy orders don't match the 'reign supreme' part.

Which pictures?
And no Paradox didn't own the rights for A Song of Ice anf Fire. There is another company who now makes a RTS-RPG for this.
I'm kind of afraid this is it. They're on a weird randomization kick now.
Ugh... I can't think of a single interpretation of "new setting" that sounds good for the game. Fantasy or map expansion or randomization... Gross.

Sounds huge. I wonder if it's only available on certain date and whether you can play current map?
I'm sold, i've always thought that the eastern border was sort of abrupt and just a bit short of all the really exciting locations on the eastern portion of the map 
If they are expanding the map, I seriously hope they are correcting the current European part like repositioning Sicily north of Tunisia. CK2 is Paradox's least realistic map. Take a note from your Victoria or EUIV maps, Paradox!!
I don't see how they can do India properly without making those sea zones work... so I'm safely assuming it's a given.
