I hate that I'm not hyped for Asia

I have a huge interest in the culture and history of different Asian regions and nations in this era. I adore being able to have all of these different things interact. But nothing Paradox has done so far gives me faith that it will actually be significantly different.

At the moment you can play a Muslim Ruler in Syria, a Christian King in Britain a Pagan Queen in Africa or an Jain Count in India - all of them play 99% the same.

Of course the new Government Type and maybe a new struggle or something could make for 1 or 2 interesting playthroughs. But the majority of the game, the events, warfare, and activities will be exactly the same.

Before I want more cultures, more religions and more regions, I want there to actually be a significant difference between any of them.

(My personal take would be that most traditions/tenets should at least have some sort of events/activities/decisions/choices tied to them. Or at least affect AI behaviour, like Charitable or Indomitable Azatani. Of course it's work, but, you know, that's what I'm paying for.)
