Except it wasn't Johan and it was a over year after the Muslim DLC. That's how much it mattered.
Is the title of this thread: your opinions on other forumites? Is it in the Off Topic forum? Because if it's not then it's trolling and you just keep trolling and I just keep feeding the troll.
That's a gap in your learning, not the history.
You've never heard of the Samanids? They're right there on the map in the 867 start? Or the Khwarezmids in the 1200s, who were a huge player in the rise of the Mongols? Both had a ton of territory extending off the current map, and were formerly part of the Seleucids that split off from Alexander.
Never mind the Kushan Empire, who lasted hundreds of years and had diplomatic ties to the Roman Empire. Or their successors in the Gupta Empire, which introduced advanced mathematics to Islam 400 years before the Europeans bothered trying to become familiar with it.
Yes, really.
Because it's variety aka the spice of life, and it makes a lot of sense for those who don't just like "Crusader" feudalism, especially since it's a concept introduced in SE Asia.
Did you not notice that half the Indian nations at EUIV's start are Muslim? These things didn't happen overnight...
This. Also, I want complicated disease mechanics (Black Death), deepened diplomacy options, non-military monasticism.... Even SoA didn't fully address the intricacies of Islam, Christianity, and finally added Judaism.
Times of India is always an interesting read, Australia never seems to feature well in it though.
And what does Japan had to do with Europa Universalis?
And a new game wouldn't sell well. They tried it with Sengoku.
I'm damn excited about this, this is insanely awesome news!
Thanks Paradox! Best expansion ever!

Man, that's lame. I though they were going to expand on existing gameplay, and not dilute things further.
Interesting? More like utterly irritating...Times of India is always an interesting read, Australia never seems to feature well in it though.
The comments section is usually more extremist than the Daily Mail's.
my Only concern is that the Abbassid, seljuk, fatimid... depending on your start date, Will balloon out of control into india. That said I would just like to say, ENGLAND CAN INTO INDIA
Japan didn't had many contact to Europa at this time and was mostly cut from the outer world. And the Europeans know that there is India...
There were even Christians in India:

There's plenty of cool stuff that could be done with this new area. The Muslim conquest and the tension between ancient Indian religions and the new upstart Arabian one are really good.
The problem is that they obviously don't have nearly enough time to give the region that kind of depth. They already have their hands full just getting the basics in there -- a bigger map is basically all they have time to do. There is no way that we're getting any sort of truly deep gameplay out of this, because they simply don't have enough time.
This expansion will literally only add provinces, a handful of events, three "new" religions, and fodder for portrait/music/unit packs.

I think it all happened on a Tuesday.
But, nah ... half of India's not Muslim by 1444 start. Less than a third of cored Hindustan is actually ... based on looking at the religion mapmode just now. Hard researcher, me.
I may be wrong, but I do recall prior to the release of SoA it was Johan who said Decadence was going to be fixed. We were complaining about Decadence (as usual) and how SoA is the perfect opportunity to fix/overhaul Decadence, to which Johan said they were working on Decadence but couldn't squeeze it into SoA due to time constraint.
PDS didn't fix Decadence all this time most likely because they still (foolishly) considered it WAD. The frequent, continuous, and extensive complaints on this forum over the year eventually gave them enough incentive to revisit the system.
The subcontinent is mostly under Muslim rule though.
And the province religions are really inaccurate anyway.
You recall wrong: it was one of the actual CK devs (Johan does not work on this game). Which, admittedly, makes this information more reliable.
I gess all we can do is agree to disagree on what their reasons were. I find it hard to believe that they were in such deep denial and believe it was negligence. You believe otherwise. That's all. But the fix still isn't here yet, months after the post about the fix.
