And the actual reason they took India out was... actually, they didn't, the map was made before India ever happened and they just never updated it. Plenty of xenophones in Paradox forums, I know, but this one's just a case of "can't be arsed to update it for another subcontinent."

Nah. All cultures and ancient dynasties had dumb founding myths. Just in Steppe culture it was pretty much always "I'm 1/16th wolf". Given how large the steppe is, and the span of time between all the different dynasties that came up with it it's kinda weird.

AdjectiveNoun posted:

And Schizotek was saying the steppe usage of that myth was distinctive because it was so common and widespread particularly for such a large area and time period. Like imagine if all across the Mediterranean and Western Europe, people continually used the 'City founder nursed by a wolf myth' from 200 BC to 800ish AD. That's the scale we're talking about with the steppe usage of wolf myths.

So what? It sounds like a cool trait.

I don't think there's any available start date where this is quite accurate, although the Khara-Khitan and the Wanyan clan under the Liao in the 1066 date are (historically speaking) very sinicized. There's a guy on the Paradox forums (the same one who did the rad 900 start) making a 750 start date, at which point the Tarim basin would be under the Tang dynasty and invading the Abbasids.

For my Rise of Islam mod I was originally planning to add in the Tarim Basin along with the Song and Tang dynasties being playable (as well as Wu Zhou) and now Paradox has done one step for me. :v:

Could someone please explain nomad inheritance? Just played for an hour, haven't had much time because of work, and my character, boss of the clans, dies. That's when I noticed my heir was not boss of the clans, and to make matters worse my new Liege is Sunni.

No thanks.

Is there some sort of election, or prestige criteria? That's what I thought, but the new heir to the Khanate is the new guys kid...

This guy is basically complaining that it's unfair for the Unhanded Tactics mod to be banned when the AGOT mod supposedly has rape and prima nocta as well.

AGOT has rape and slavery and a bunch of other unsightly crap, yet gets its own forum.

Personally I don't care for AGOT but that's because I hate the books, not the fact that the mod has rape and poo poo.

The idea of dynastic legacies affecting new characters would be cool though. Like if my first 10 rulers were all badass pious warriors, maybe random dynasty members should strive to do that more often, instead of just picking whatever random focus and doing things related to that forever.


IDK I guess that's really a Paradox AI issue. They never really seem to have goals which makes them more like forces of nature or walls than AI.

Maybe if there was a way to have the game check traits for an ancestor (like their father) and play an event that suggests they should be more like them?
