Just a few words regarding the map update of the Middle East.

I've actually been working together with Elvain (creator of Ibn Battuta's Legacy), who provided most of the historical research for me, in order to bring you guys this much needed update. Which is why there are striking similarities between what we've done and the mod. What you've seen on stream is more or less the end result. Some smaller adjustments will most likely be made though. But I'll probably go into more details about it in an upcoming dev diary or so.

New: If you're inherited by a character who follows a religion you don't have its DLC for, instead of getting a game over, your heir flips to your old character's religion.
Unless you are a nomad as they do not game over even if they change to a religion they cannot play anyway.
It also clears your heirs secret religion if it has one you do not have the DLC for.

What YES. Good. So glad they're not actually reusing the Indian shield borders.

Any screenshots of the Chinese shields??

Here's a bad screen shot of the final form.

We can't have bad screenshots now can we?

Here you go, with all four tiers in order:

They added a bunch of provinces to Tibet after they started the stream, so that's why the de jure map is messed up.

This. The map has seen some work since we started streaming with the current save. Which causes issues in the de jure setup as we've changed counties as well as duchies and kingdoms in the area. Tibet in particular have changed a bit very recently.
