The Chinese princesses, if anything, are just less average. More likely to have interesting traits, good or bad. Less likely to be "normal," but it happens sometimes.

Just wait until Imperator comes out and they'll be able to play as historical Armenia as Rome and Persia fight wars over who gets to choose the kings of Armenia. Spoiler: Not the Armenians.

Well, until one of them goes insane and marries a horse, while it turns out the other's kid is literally the Anti-Christ, I suppose.

Having an issue where the game won't start. It'll get to "Loading flags" and the crash. I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game and deleted the CK2 folder from My Documents>Paradox Interactive. Any clues?

If it's the latter, that's happened a few times to me for no apparent reason, and letting it sit there loading for 10 minutes or so usually gets the game running again. If it's an actual crash then I don't know.

Realtalk: Armenia in 867 is hard as poo poo but once you get rolling it's one of my favorite areas of the world. Head west and take Byzantium, south for the Holy Land and Egypt, or east into Persia and make absurdly huge stacks of gold via the Silk Road. My Paulician game a few patches ago went pretty well once I declared myself the Paulician Patriarch and started calling crusades on anyone who looked at me funny:

The Kamsarakan and Pahlavuni dynasties - rulers of Taron, in Armenia - are also the oldest in the game afaik. Their earliest member was born in the single digits, AD. You can also inherit Karen lands in Persia as these guys, Dihistan and one other, so that can lead to a cool near east / Persia game.

The Mihranians in Derbent 769 are descended from the Sassanids paternaly and the Arsacids maternaly so they get ultimate cool points. Bonus if you become the zoroastrian emperor of Rome-Persia from your base in the Transcaucasus. They also historically did a red wedding type slaughter to the previous dynasty in charge

Four holy sites for the renamed African paganism are in sub-Saharan Africa. So if you can get to 50% MA, then you don't need to tangle with the Umayyads etc. in the north. Claim those holy sites, burn down churches in the east... (relatively) easy reformation?

Claim those holy sites, burn down churches in the east... (relatively) easy reformation? Looks like the way to go would be to pillage everything in East Africa as you said. Not much money to be made, but small countries without many levies to fight back. Best to do the burn and then conquer for the 2% MA per county.

I'm seriously considering starting as Mali in Holy Fury. I knew I wanted to try out the new reformation mechanics, but reforming West African was too hard, and I wanted to try out the new features quickly. But new special trade routes, a map expansion and a less challenging distribution of holy sites, this might make this a genuinely fun place to start in.

Yeah, while a new Zoroastrian game is my go-to upon picking this back up, maybe after a brief attempt at relearning some things in Ireland or some other part of Europe, Africa and Mali in particular are looking really good in Holy Fury and might be where I start this time. I wonder how absurdly rich Mali can become, given that there are Mansa Musa-inspired events apparently and he was the richest person... Ever, basically? Up there, at least. Though speaking of, reiterating an earlier question, do we know if Zoroastrians are getting anything special in Holy Fury, or is it mostly pagans?

Good question! Since you can't currently reform Zoroastrianism, and the religion has special mechanics already, it's possible that they won't be updated further in Holy Fury. But we still have some dev diaries ahead of us.

Yeah, I was taking a peek at the dev diaries after asking that. Thus far, I saw a bloodline for Sasan, founder of the Sassanid dynasty, which is kind of neat even if I like the Achaemenids and Cyrus a lot more, (they're admittedly ancient history even by the earliest parts of this game) and that's it apart benefiting from the general changes like the Holy Orders one (which needs you to get far enough to get the Immortals), and a lot of those don't affect them much or at all either. It'd be neat if they got a little direct attention as well, even if they obviously aren't the focus. On a tangent, I think they're now the only religion that can only be unlocked via The Old Gods, since Holy Fury can make pagans playable too. Which, well, the old start dates are the only ones with Zoroastrian rulers, but Manichean rulers are in the steppes even in the 1066+ start dates. Though Manichaeism should be its own thing, really. Maybe that'll be a Holy Fury change, unlikely as it seems to me. They could get a bit more stuff and still be able to intermarry with Mazdans and whatnot, and Zurvanism or something could be a new Mazdan heresy, though I guess that's sort of shoved into Khurmazta since Zurvan is a patron deity there.

Doesn't ck2+ let you revive Hellenic paganism and druidism and stuff? That would be a fun thing, if Aztecs can invade Europe then the druids should be able to come back.

Yeah, CK2+ has the Ancient Religions Reborn mod, but they also added a bunch of extra stuff to it that's not in the original. I wish there was a version of ARR that had those extra religions without the rest of CK2+, they sound neat but I'm not really sold on all of CK2+'s changes.

I may actually play a Catholic kingdom finally instead of loving around all over the map with the new crusade mechanics. A lot of what I liked about CK2+ is being implemented in the next patch. More trade routes would be cool, but adding some in Africa is a good start.

I did, but the reason access was denied was because the files weren't being created for whatever reason. What ended up doing the trick was getting a friend to send me a copy of their gfx/flags folder so i could just grab the files that weren't generating.

That's too bad I was thinking of taking amernia's suggestion and playing as armenia but miasphysite is so boring. I guess messalian is pretty much right there since a few nestorian counties border armenia.
