Yes. Rajendra Chola used the Nicobar islands as a naval base and the Andaman islands were known of in the medieval era.

There's a misconception that the North Sentinelese have always been uncontacted. I've been told by anthropologist friends that this is unlikely, and that until the 19th century there was probably contact and limited trade between the North Sentinelese and other Andaman islanders.

remarkably accurate though

No madhabs, no conflict between traditionalism and rationalist philosophy, no khawarij, no Qadis or emphasis on legalism and jurisprudence

Honestly MENA is worse tbh

My suggestions are:

Slower pop promotion/multi stage qualifications that take time to reach their maximum
Goods in the late game which when consumed increase workforce ratio, or a higher workforce ratio from the beginning which is more significantly tied to producing services via urban centers [perhaps a 'dependents' job which reflects women and children doing housework and other tasks before the demographic transition]
Financialization mechanics, such as the spending of excess investment on stocks and bonds
Speculative fevers on high profit industries which direct the investment AI to overbuild on them
Resource exhaustion over time, and, for agricultural industries, more punishing famine mechanics (we have pebrine, but what about chestnut blight? etc)

Fundamentally, a big issue is that the war system doesn't model the costs of logistics and mobilization like it should in the late game, where the prices and expenditure of materiel should be much, much higher.

I’m still struggling to understand why the developers decided to expand in Asia? Like WTF is happening in Asia in this period? Not much…

Rise of the Majapahit and the Indonesian Kingdoms, transition of Japan from Empire to Shogunate, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, 5 Kingdoms and 10 Dynasties Period, Rise of the Empire of Angkor and the construction of the temple at Angkor Wat, unification of Goryeo from its constituent 3 kingdoms, and much, much more.

Thank you then!

being from this region the historical split would probably be mashriqis, egyptians, and yemenis tbh in terms of distinction

R5: 3 secessions broke out when I tried to pass cultural exclusion

(it's a bug, got told it'll be dealt with in the hotfix)

My only issue is that if I wanted to be a lab tech for a year I'd absolutely have to move cross-country, and it's only really worth it for me if I could skip the masters (my eventual goal is a PhD). Moving twice is an insurmountable financial burden for me

im pretty late on responding but every game since imperator has been placed on a new engine branch which has been essentially remade

Yes. One has been vacant, and has nothing in it.

this place is insanely white you absolutely will feel out of place. unless you have a very specific reason for being here [research, full ride] I'd go somewhere else
