Yeah, well, stuff is always happening. It shouldn’t affect a game based on history from hundreds of years ago.
Even back then they did not have a kingdom or a country.
Because the Chinese government is fickle and you never know when they’re going to be OK with something or when they’re not. Microsoft simply can’t take that risk.

Follow how they handle Tibetans in other Chinese games. And add a nice Tang Dynasty Campaign for Chinese. New Chinese and Tibetan building sets needed too.
There were several Kurdish emirates and dynasties in the time period…

Maybe but do we know enough to make a full civilization about them?wonder campaign uu etc.
Saladin is a kurd who led an army of arabs so if there is a kurd civilization does that make the saracen campaign too?
Because Romania isn’t in West/Central Asia which the DLC focuses on.

For the wonder, maybe the Mudhafaria minaret in Erbil? It looks like most Kurdish buildings from the time period were destroyed, so I keep finding pictured of recent ones such as the Jalil al-Khayat mosque, which is beautiful but date from a few years ago…
Regarding Saladin’s campaign, I think only the first scenario should have you play as a Kurd, as Saladin is not yet sultan of Egypt and is still fighting under the leadership of his uncle Shirkuh (like Babur switching from Tatar to Hindustani). Speaking of which, Shirkuh would probably be a good Kurdish candidate for a campaign, it could even feature a young Saladin as a hero and branch into his campaign. You would face a lot of the same enemies in the same regions, though, so maybe it’s not ideal. Other candidates I could find include Badh ibn Dustak and Hasanwayh, who both founded their dynasties in the 10th century by punching way above their weight, fighting against Buyid Persia and, in Badh’s case, the Byzantine Empire, among others.
No idea about the UU, though…

Both armenian uus are generic units so I guess something like that could be used if someone really wants to go for this idea.

Yeah, the uninspiring choice for the Armenian UU’s isn’t really encouraging tbh…
