v0.6 NOW RELEASED - DOWNLOAD AT BOTTOM
To the South of Mauretania, many old kingdoms rose and fall. During the time of Crusader Kings 2, the great Mali Empire was forged, and it had to face the Ghana Empire (still reeling from a sack and forced conversion by the Almohads of Mauretania, which also happened in the CK2 timeframe) to rise. The rich lands of Timbuktu, and of Djenne, and of Koumbi Saleh, dominated the Western Trans-Saharan trade, making these Sahelian kingdoms wealth and prosperous. It was a time of religious turmoil between the Muslims and the native African religions, with much wealth and power to go to the victors.
This mod brings this world of conflict to Crusader Kings 2, this mod stretches the map...
ALL THE WAY TO TIMBUKTU
This mod adds 30 provinces, each with its own county...
Divided into 9 duchies...
And into 3 kingdoms*...
Ready to be united into an Empire**!

CHANGELOG:
0.6:
Added new "Sack" casus belli for Muslims/Pagans that allows them to dissolve the primary title of their target (have only one kingdom? Well now you're a duke) and convert them to their religion.
Improved the history files for buildings in Djenne, Koumbi Saleh, Timbuktu, Gao and Niani
Warrior cult is no longer available to west_africans
Fixed the map files for v1.04
Fixed ocean province names (was available as hotfix before, is now core)
0.5:
Initial release
TODO:
Expanded history covering all Mansas of Mali
Cultural titles (eg "Mansa" for Emperor)
Better city positions
Make Ghana ineligible to form the Mali Empire
Note that this mod uses the following community-assign max-compatibility ranges: Characters: 1.000.033.000 - 1.000.035.999, Dynasties: 1.000.011.000 - 1.000.011.999.
For greater mod-compatibility (I imagine a lot of mods will implement the religion changes), I have made the making-other-religions-playable part of a separate download.
