Old Dev Diary has this picture:

.

Indeed, this map is from the old (current) setup, and those counties are Suwaida, Deir and Samarra. If those are the only Assyrian counties, it's plainly wrong. I guess Samarra is ok, but definitely Mosul, Sinjar, Al Jazira, Nisibin and maybe even Kurdistan should be Assyrian+Nestorian. Possibly some others in the old Jazira duchy, too, but I can't be sure.

But I am still holding my breath as that picture is indeed from the old setup, I won't judge Paradox before my time , we will see how it pans out once the patch comes out.

Does anyone know if it was mentioned whether the Assyrians are attached to a kingdom? So if there is enough unrest you may get an Assyrian revolt to found the kingdom in that area.

The natural relation is the new Jazira kingdom (or whatever that is called, maybe Mesopotamia as Baghdad, Tigris and other southern duchies are now part of the kingdom of Iraq). Of course they can get peasant revolts but liberation revolts require (IIRC) that the kingdom has a holder in the title history, that's why they have given various titles former holders in the game files, historical, mythical or something between. So the question is if they have given this new Jazira/Mesopotamia kingdom former holders (I don't know if he needs to be Assyrian) to make liberation revolts possible.

Would be really funny to have Esarhaddon or Assurbanipal there!

 

[Thure]

Unlikely. The game can't handle 'BC'.

 

[Chef Boyardee]

De iure kingdom is Sardinia and Corsica.

That's so cool. I've been wanting to place a nice Corsica and Sardinia game and now I've got a big reason to.

 

[Knotz]

We see the new units yet?

So, how do you think? Can we revoke duchies or anything a duke holds? I think the tooltip does not clarify that.

"Can revoke titles from duchy tier vassals..."
I think that means you can revoke any title from a vassal duke without penalty.

Duchies for sure. They said that.

Nice to see Sunset Invasions being disabled

What?

 

[LeSingeAffame]

What?

Just above the scenario's description, you can see the DLC they activated. The third one, Sunset Invasion, is not there, so they disabled it.
Just thought it was funny

 

[Dirt McStain]

Which is weird since the custom game rules let you keep the DLC on and the actual invasion off. At least, that's what I do.

 

[Federalist girl]

Yes, finally a picture of the actual government type and icon for Chinese Imperial!

Screenshot is kind of blurry, any thoughts on what the symbol is? Looks a bit like a scroll, maybe with a seal stamped on it?

 

[Bearnest]

Kinda looks like a bamboo tablet. Could be a scroll too as @Federalist girl suggests.

EDIT: like this

Levantine arabic culture with nestorian religion in 769...is this really historic?
Beside, sadly to see they still put khwarezmian and bactrian into persian. they should be into sogdian at least if not being independent consider they are eastern iranian.

Remember about non-arabian and non-hebrew semitic peoples in those lands. Many elements of local culture was similar to full-medieval-arabian (probably - adopted and mixed with others by Arabs) and still those lands are "Levant".
