Description
The North African Expansion is a modification that, true to it's name, adds, expands and modifies various facets of the North African region currently available with the stock CK2 map. The mod adds over 80 new provinces, over a dozen new duchies, several new kingdoms and three new empires covering the region known as the Sahal, from the east coast Jolof Kingdom and Mali Empire, through the Hausa States, the Kanem-Bornu Empire and through into the resketched Nubian/Ethiopian Kingdoms on the West Coast. In addition the mod features african portraits (courtesy of the BLC Mod), new religions and cultures, and all religions playable. This mod isn't savegame compatible, and should only really be played from the 1066 Start as I only made history files for the initial 1066 Start bookmark. I'm willing to accept contributions from people who would like to expand the history files, just let me know :ninja:
(This mod requires the Mongol DLC, as it includes Shaytana's BLC)

On Historicity
NOTE: Like vanilla CK2, NAE is not 100% historically accurate, it is instead an abstraction where playability overrides historical fact. Despite this however I am always open to constructive criticism
and advice or tips on improving the historical nature of the mod.

Known Issues or Bugs
Mozabite States borders aren't displayed, I can't fix this issue, I think it's just a quirk of the engine.
