What does the game look like in terms of religion so far? Is the map as hilarious as it usually is in most CK2 games?

Does anyone remember that one CK2 LP where the Teutonic Knights led a crusade into North Africa and ended up conquering Ghana and its neighboring West African states? Because if so I'd really like to read it again, assuming that it still exists.

So as part of the secret LP cabal (which does not exist), I was able to preview the end of the CK2 section and EUIV scenario and I have to say, Aztecs invading Al-Andalus and forcing the Jizrunids to flee to Ireland (which was made Sunni), having the Aztecs massacre all of mainland Europe and then all die of smallpox has led to this really interesting Dark Continent Scenario where the Jizrunids are going to have to compete with other powers to colonize Europe. It's really cool.

Have there been any large-scale culture changes in Europe or elsewhere by the time that CK2 ended? For example, is Egypt still Arabic or have some of the provinces changed to whatever culture the crusaders are?

Hashim posted:

Polish is present in a lot of Brandenburg, German cultures have been shaken around a bit, Occitan is much more widespread in the south of France, Andalusi is present in almost all of Al Andalus, Siculo-Arabic is dominant in Sicily, Sahidic (Crusader culture) is present along the Egyptian coast, and Anatolia is a mess of Greek, Armenian and Levantine cultures. There's more, but those are the ones I can remember.

Anatolia sounds awesome, and it'll be interesting to see if the crusader culture spreads at all in EU4. Are you going to make the save/mod used at the beginning of the EU4 game available after it's over (or before, depending on how many events there are to be spoiled)?

I, Sheikha Hibbar Rubik of the League of Merchants propose that we found an alternate route to Mecca! With fall of Filastan we cannot reasonably expect to undertake the Hajj safely and expediently. It is true that going through the lands of the Fatimids is possible however can we really trust them to stamp out dangers in vast expanses of desert when they allowed the Crusaders to take Filastan? Unless the Taifas believe we somehow suddenly have the power to pry the crusaders from their burrows in Egypt it absolutely imperative that we find another a way. I believe that Allah guided our sailors to the western islands of the Al'Uzur (Azores) to show us how truly little we know of the seas, thus I have faith there may be a sea route to Mecca!

Just because the Ulema are getting all puritanical doesn't mean we should randomly abandon an important ally at a time when the French threat looms large.

I, Crazycrodude of the League of Merchants, propose the Make Al-Andalus avante-Garde Again Policy.

This policy stipulates that we minimize our piety, enlist the aid of the Dhimmi, and take any other methods to reduce our tech cost that the Sultan deems within reason, so that we may always stay on at least the same tech level as our neighbors. Unless the nation is in crisis and needs the resources elsewhere, every effort should be made to become a world leader and maintain a higher level of tech than any neighbor, especially a Military edge over France.

E:Question for Hashim: what tech group are we? Do we not have a Dhimmi Estate to appease/troll the Ulema with for that massive tech reduction?

Guys, I think we should pace ourselves here and focus on the rest of Spain and the inevitable fight with France before thinking about the Almorhavids. This is probably our last best chance to fight the French before they grow too strong and we shouldn't let our reach exceed our grasp.
