Tianxia: Silk Road Expansion
"From Ireland to Cathay"
Every now and then, debates will rage on the Crusader Kings II Main Forum on whether there ought to be another Map Extension, but this time into the Far East under the monikers "Crusader Mings" or "Songs of Crusade". Arguments ranging from historical and geographical relevance to performance issues, the topic is something that will never die where in the future, historians will refer this as the "Infinite Paradoxian Civil War" started up by various factions amongst the Scholars of Paradox.
Tianxia, Chinese Romanisation of 天下 or "under heaven", aims to test the waters in regards to whether the Far East belongs in the world of Crusades and Medieval Intrigue of blinding/castrating your own children. A direct continuation of the Mod Project - All Under Heaven by .Me and a partial merger with Umbra Spherae by Camara, Tianxia aims to attempt to bring about the standard Paradox-style vanilla DLC in regards to this massively ridiculously absurd map expansion.

- The "Gain Land for an Unlanded Daughter" ambition now accounts for the Ryukyuan reformation Doctrines granting Equality.
- Added factions for installing Permanent Regents for the Tenno and Shinto/Japonic Buddhist emperors that are feudal and aren't Chinese Imperial.
- Added Regency Loyalist factions, which come to the aid of the Permanent Regent if an attempt is made to depose him by force. The Permanent Regent's dynasty join this ASAP in AI hands and tend to be reluctant to leave it.
- Added a Proclaim Shogunate faction, usable against the Tenno if there isn't a Shogun already. The Permanent Regent cannot join this faction.

- Gave Mandate of Heaven revolters access to the Chinese Reconquest and Chinese Subjugation CBs if they win their revolt.

- The Nile is no longer missing or broken south of Egypt.
- Fixed Kyiatong being rendered as Kyaitong in some places.
- Pretender Emperors of China no longer get to keep being pretenders when converting to an incompatible culture or religion; they need to choose between reconverting and losing pretender status.
