Where are the Zoroastrians?

[Noel84]

I don't want to play patch 1.12 - the common sense patch - after what I have read about it, specifically that it weakens the AI. I also have no intention of buying CS at this point (well, maybe for €1.99 on sale - I only paid €9.99 for the game ) ,

It must have been available in earlier versions, because when I googled there were some older threads (2011?) discussing forming Zoroastrian Persia by getting a religious revolt in Yazd. Pity it was later removed.

actually the AI is a lot harder to beat, whereas before you beat it by just waiting for it to carpet siege and killing their entire army one stack at a time, now there's actual strategy

If you really don't want to play with the current build modding a single religion with no mechanics in is fairly easy just modify the religion file in commons to add Zoroastrian, I don't know how to add the little symbol tho so you might have to ask the modding forum for that lol

Besides that the subject interaction screen is really boring and lacks anything to make it feel like more than a control panel-no nice backgrounds or splash images(like those that show on game loadup, which add immersion) also the behaviors are whack-it used to be possible to put subjects on defense and they would stay within borders, now they behave odd on that setting of defensive and suicidal on the others. Its a great set of features that really needs a ton of love from the devs and more effort to mesh it with actual game, rather than hidden away in a back corner. I mostly forget about it during play, TBH

You can play multiplayer and see what the DLC offers, without actually buying the DLC yet.

Wait until they are on sale for 75%!
